"Let me check the degree of progress in the fusion of my body and will over this period of time. Recently, I have been consciously using my will to control my own body, which should help accelerate the fusion."

Following Lin Qingyu's words, what he considered to be a not-so-large, irregular "plane" abruptly appeared in front of him.

Although using a plane to describe an object within three-dimensional space was indeed somewhat inappropriate, other than that, it was truly difficult to find a word that could accurately describe this thing.

Because no matter from which angle one observed it, this thing was an irregular black plane.

Moreover, this "plane" clearly looked like a two-dimensional image to Lin Qingyu, yet he had no way to use any shape or image to depict its form. It was not because the shape of this black plane was constantly changing or anything like that, but rather that Lin Qingyu truly could not accurately perceive this "plane" which he considered to be not very large.

Lin Qingyu could subjectively describe it as "this is a not-so-large, black, irregular two-dimensional plane." However, just how large this plane specifically was and what exact shape it had were things he had completely no way to state.

Furthermore, through his attempts, at least among all the people he had come into contact with, he was the only one who could perceive this "plane."

This "plane" that only he could observe and control was named "Will Space" by Lin Qingyu.

The reason why Lin Qingyu was able to perceive and even control this Will Space was because this space actually counted as the "legacy" left behind by his past life.

Lin Qingyu was a transmigrator, and his transmigration was not a pure "soul transmigration."

The specific process of the transmigration was difficult for him to describe, but he knew that what had arrived in the Swallowed Star world was not only his soul and consciousness, but also his body, and even a vast expanse of space where his body had been located prior to his transmigration.

Regardless of whether it was his former body or the space where his body had resided, there were fundamental differences in rules from the Primal Chaos Dimension where Swallowed Star was located.

This was a difference at the "worldview" level.

Under the collision between worldviews, virtually everything within this expanse of space that he had brought over from his past life had completely gone to ruin, being thoroughly wiped out, and even the space itself had transformed from a normal four-dimensional spacetime into an indescribable two-dimensional plane.

Fortunately, because the space that had transmigrated over was simply too weak, the conflict had ended in an instant.

After the collision of worldviews concluded, the only things that remained and adapted to the rules of the Primal Chaos Dimension were his ego and this "plane" which fused and carried his ego.

This was also the reason why Lin Qingyu named this "plane" the Will Space.

Not only that, the surviving will and Will Space not only adapted to the worldview of the Swallowed Star world—or rather, the rules of the Primal Chaos Dimension—but they also acquired three incredible, miraculous abilities.

Lin Qingyu named these three abilities: Void Conception, Absolute Record, and True Deduction.

Void Conception, as the name implied, was able to give birth to will out of nothingness.

Within this Will Space that carried Lin Qingyu's consciousness, there was not a single bit of matter or energy, let alone a body or soul capable of providing thought. Yet Lin Qingyu's thoughts were still able to emerge out of thin air in a steady stream from this nihilistic Will Space—this was Void Conception.

This was also the reason why Lin Qingyu didn't care about his body at the very beginning; after all, his will at that time mainly originated from the Will Space.

Of course, through the previous ordeal, Lin Qingyu had also discovered the regular pattern and limitation of this ability.

Powerful though Void Conception was, if the newly born will within the Will Space were continuously consumed, he would still likely run into problems.

Just like when he interfered with his own body earlier, his will was affected by the homing life imprint and was continuously consumed in the fusion with the physical body. At the very beginning, Lin Qingyu's will was too weak, and he was unable to spare even a sliver of surplus will to control his body.

If there were infinite time, then the total will that Void Conception could produce might be infinite. However, within a definite period of time, the will that could be outputted was limited, and this output limit depended on the strength of his own will.

The second ability was Absolute Record, and this ability was also something Lin Qingyu took quite a bit of time to figure out.

This plane could not accommodate any matter or energy, but it could store information—after all, human thought and will also contained information.

Absolute Record used this plane as a carrier to completely record the information of a certain thing.

The reason why this ability was named "Absolute Record" was because Lin Qingyu had temporarily failed to see any upper limit to this ability.

After figuring out this ability, Lin Qingyu had even used it to record the process by which Earth exerted an influence on the souls of the living beings upon it. This was a method left behind by Zuo Shank, which even Universe Masters who controlled spacetime were unable to discover—this was also the reason why he had become arrogant.

The third ability, True Deduction, was established on the foundation of the previous ability.

The information recorded within the "plane" could be preserved indefinitely, but it could also be actively made to change.

Because all the information recorded by Absolute Record was accurate, the deductions based on the information recorded by Absolute Record were likewise true.

To give an example, if the information of two chemical substances were recorded in the Will Space, and then the information of these two substances was allowed to react within the consciousness space, the result obtained from the reaction in the Will Space would inevitably be identical to the result of the reaction between the two substances in reality.

Furthermore, as long as Lin Qingyu's will could endure it, his observation precision regarding the information recorded by the Will Space had no upper limit.

Theoretically, as long as he was willing, he could even directly observe the changes in microscopic particle information within the Will Space.

Of course, Lin Qingyu's will strength was limited, and his consciousness calculation speed was also limited, so this observation ability was still constrained by his own limits.

Even so, this was extremely formidable. After all, there were some treasures in the universe that even Universe Masters who controlled spacetime could not completely see through, yet Lin Qingyu could use this Will Space to analyze the structure of these treasures and even deduce their weaknesses.

Perhaps my future self will actually be able to forge an Ultimate Supreme Treasure during the Original Universe era. Holding fond expectations for the future, Lin Qingyu simultaneously used the Will Space to record his current physical state.

Making a slight analysis, he roughly understood the condition of his body.

There were still about three days left until his will and physical body completely fused, and three days from now he would be completely free!

Moreover, if Lin Qingyu's conjecture was not wrong, the benefits brought to him by these fifteen years of torment were not limited to just the fusion of body and will alone.

Because of the physical changes brought about by the transformation of his life imprint, his Gene Level ought to be quite a bit higher than that of ordinary humans.
