"So."
"You reconstructed your own body!?"
Looking at the dazzling specks of light dancing at his fingertips, Lin An's heart jolted.
It was hard to imagine how many attempts the Second Will had made before achieving something so unbelievable.
It was like forging steel through countless trials. After the skin was damaged repeatedly over a long period, calluses would form, and bones that had fractured and healed would grow harder.
In theory, the body could also be continuously strengthened until its original form changed.
But if one relied solely on weak Mental Strength to make changes bit by bit, the body's collapse was inevitable under such "crude" methods.
Whether at the level of cells, genes, or human tissue, any alteration caused by external forces could result in irreversible errors or deformities.
Cancer cells were the same. In essence, they were normal cells that had undergone an error.
The Second Will's projected image nodded and lowered its arm.
"More or less."
"After around thirteen thousand attempts, I successfully modified the Right Hand Finger Bone Structure for the first time."
"Shatter, regenerate, heal, and repeat."
"Until the bones became hard enough to rival ordinary alloys."
"Once I became familiar with that, I started modifying my internal organs, and later moved on to my brain tissue."
With a smile on its face, the Second Will tapped its brow.
"You know that the left and right hemispheres of the human brain have different functional regions, and that neural signals are transmitted in the form of pulses."
"The myelin sheath transmits signals too slowly."
"So I wondered what would happen if I cut away the parts connecting the two hemispheres, fused them together, and accelerated their connection."
"Or perhaps I could have the brain grow a neural network directly along the spine, commanding the limbs
