The images in his mind showed endless monsters charging human settlements during the Great Nirvana, unleashing an immeasurable catastrophe.

Teng Qingshan had seen far too many of them.

He had seen the elderly, the young, women, and children perish in the monsters' bloody jaws.

Even Teng Qingshan couldn't bear to watch.

He thought of the RR Virus that would strike before long, the catastrophe that would befall humanity, the death rate of up to 30 percent, and how the survivors would still have to face the threat of monsters.

Teng Qingshan's eyes narrowed slightly.

No matter which life he was in, Teng Qingshan considered himself Chinese!

Seeing countless Chinese compatriots die tragically, Teng Qingshan naturally wanted to do something.

But in troubled times, protecting himself and his grandfather, and saving as many of his compatriots as possible, all depended on having sufficient strength!

Although the images Little Cauldron had shown him were blurry, and some of their timelines were impossible to determine,

without exception,

the humans in them were at an absolute disadvantage!

It was only because many heroes emerged among humanity later on, and because of major technological breakthroughs that brought Laser Weapons into existence,

that humanity had a chance of surviving. In the original timeline, whether they could have endured it at all was uncertain.

He let his thoughts settle.

Teng Qingshan's gaze grew more resolute. The crises and challenges facing China, the coming Virus and monsters, were only the beginning.

From the information Little Cauldron had conveyed, Teng Qingshan also knew that Earth was currently situated in the vast universe and faced many unknown dangers.

One of the images showed a day in the future, when a group of Space Adventurers arrived aboard a spaceship. A casual strike from one of them unleashed a scene of utter devastation. A powerhouse like that was far beyond anything Teng Qingshan could contend with right now.

Seeing that slavery still existed in the universe, Teng Qingshan understood.

The moment Earth was exposed to the universe,

the allure of a habitable planet

would inevitably draw the covetous attention of countless powerhouses.

In the universe,

there were countless strong warriors.

For Teng Qingshan at his current stage,

even a Planetary Level adventurer would be more than he could handle.

Not to mention, the weakest Space Adventurers were Stellar Level.

And a Stellar Level powerhouse

was strong enough to shatter a mountain with one punch, while the resulting shock wave could spread for more than a hundred kilometers.

Their physical strength had reached a level Teng Qingshan couldn't even imagine at this stage.

Faced with such powerhouses, Teng Qingshan knew very well that he was no match for them.

Fortunately, Earth seemed to be protected by some unknown force for now, so he didn't need to worry about it being exposed to the universe just yet.

But that protection was limited.

Teng Qingshan knew that the safest course was to improve his strength as quickly as possible. Only then could he protect his home and loved ones, and possibly resurrect Little Cat and Zhuge Qing.

With a clear goal and a powerful sense of crisis, Teng Qingshan didn't dare to stop striving to become stronger for even a moment.

He raised his head and looked at the brilliant stars in the night sky.

Teng Qingshan knew that his future stage couldn't possibly be limited to a tiny planet like Earth.

The vast sea of stars was his true destination.

He lowered his gaze and put his thoughts aside.

Teng Qingshan stepped onto his Samsara spear and flew to the top of a steep little peak.

Thirty Flying Daggers circled around him.

He focused all his attention.

Teng Qingshan realized he still couldn't control all thirty Flying Daggers at will.

After some practice,

several minutes later,

Teng Qingshan finally discovered that he could control eight Flying Daggers as easily as his own arms!

"One mind, eight uses..."

At that moment, ten sharp Flying Daggers danced around Teng Qingshan, darting up, down, left, and right.

Their speed was so extreme that they sliced through the air with a hissing sound.

Under the hazy night sky,

the cold gleam of the blades flickered constantly, making Teng Qingshan's face appear and disappear from view.

"Looks like eight Flying Daggers is the most I can control at once for now." A trace of amusement appeared in Teng Qingshan's eyes. "From the information Little Cauldron gave me, my current Mental Power Amplitude should be '8.'"

"That's a little better than my physical strength output."

After days of nonstop, high-intensity training,

Teng Qingshan had also figured out a few tricks for exerting his physical strength.

In his previous life,

the immense boost from the power of heaven and earth had made physical strength less significant.

Naturally, Teng Qingshan hadn't devoted much effort to "physical strength output." He had only focused on perfectly controlling every inch of his muscles and bones.

Likewise,

he hadn't put much effort into "divided attention and simultaneous control," either.

After all, he hadn't needed those skills. In his previous life, he had already been invincible.

The reason Teng Qingshan's initial Mental Power Amplitude had reached 8 was also thanks to the hundreds of years of nourishment from Chaos Primal Energy, which had made his "spirit" incredibly powerful.

In the terms of the Swallowed Star World, Teng Qingshan's mental and soul power were exceptionally strong.

Even his will had reached an extremely high level.

Combined with Teng Qingshan's Flying Dagger skills and his years of practicing Three Body Posture and Xingyi Fist, his mind and spirit had become completely attuned to heaven and earth.

That was how he had unconsciously become capable of controlling eight Flying Daggers at full power at once.

From the future information Teng Qingshan had organized and pieced together, he knew that when a Spiritual Telekinetic first awakened,

in most cases,

they could only control two or three Flying Daggers at full power simultaneously.

To control more,

they needed years of hard training and special training techniques.

So Teng Qingshan was fairly satisfied with his current Mental Power Amplitude.

After all, controlling eight Flying Daggers at once

and sending all eight crashing into the same spot on an enemy could produce a terrifying increase in attack power.

They could also strike multiple enemies at once. That was what made Spiritual Telekinetics so terrifying.

They were unquestionably the most powerful means of dealing with groups of enemies.

Under the night sky,

the Flying Daggers around Teng Qingshan formed a straight line.

They hurtled toward a boulder several meters tall ahead.

Boom!!!

In an instant,

a tremendous explosion rang out.

The powerful impact of High-level General-Level Telekinesis sent the alloy Flying Dagger straight through the boulder. Under Teng Qingshan's control, it then pierced back and forth through it more than a hundred times!

The dagger moved so quickly

that the strange, overlapping sounds blended together, culminating in a huge explosion.

Teng Qingshan then controlled the other seven Flying Daggers at the same time,

sending them crashing into a cliff dozens of meters high in the other direction.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

A succession of violent impacts rang out.

After a long while,

he had thoroughly tested the limits of his current telekinetic attack power, and only then did Teng Qingshan stop.

However, after this test, all eight alloy Flying Daggers had been completely blunted and could no longer be used.

Even so, Teng Qingshan still had twenty-two alloy Flying Daggers left, enough to last him a long time.

"Just as expected of a Spiritual Telekinetic. When eight Flying Daggers strike the same spot at once, their power can stack completely."

Looking at the hole more than ten meters in diameter that he had blasted into the cliff,

Teng Qingshan was very satisfied with his Telekinesis!

"The impact of one Flying Dagger is about forty thousand kilograms. Eight add up to three hundred and twenty thousand! Back in the Nine Provinces Continent, that's already the strength of a Xiantian Solid Dan. In this life, it's enough to inflict damage on a High-level War God! And this is only right after my Telekinesis awakened!"

Teng Qingshan made a quick comparison and reached this astonishing conclusion.

"Besides, a fully solid Psychic Power Sphere can support cultivation all the way to the War God limit. At that point, a single Flying Dagger's impact could reach five hundred thousand kilograms! With an increased Mental Power Amplitude, the destructive power of a High-level War God's Spiritual Telekinesis could even surpass that of most so-called Void Realm powerhouses from my previous life!"
