Three worlds: two real, one fake.
Together, they made an unbeatable combination.
The Inner World had an invincible life-saving ability. Unless someone was powerful in the Space-Time Law or Space Law, they would never discover it. There was no need to train hard in the Inner World; one's strength improved imperceptibly just by spending time there.
The Treasure Refining World had countless cutting-edge Tech Tools, and it was unmatched at Treasure Refining and making money.
The Image World let him practice Treasure Refining in a virtual environment. It was efficient and cost nothing, and even if something went wrong, there was no need to worry.
Carrying the Eight Trigrams Reincarnation Mirror, Shi Fen returned to the Inner World, eager to test its gravity.
Through the Eight Trigrams Reincarnation Mirror, he tried to change the world's gravity.
He started at one g, increasing the gravity slowly by 0.1 g every ten seconds.
An invisible force enveloped Shi Fen's entire body, pressing on every cell. He tensed all his muscles, planting himself firmly on the ground like a nail.
Shi Fen closed his eyes, his expression serious. He took deep breaths as he adapted to the increasing gravity.
Two g...
Three g...
Shi Fen's heart labored in his chest. Anyone nearby could hear it pounding like a drum.
His breathing grew heavier, and his legs began to tremble. The lack of blood reaching his head made him feel dizzy. It was as if his body were packed with countless lead weights; even standing was incredibly difficult.
Thirty-seven g.
That was his current limit.
He held at that gravity for only five minutes before he could no longer stay on his feet and dropped heavily to his knees on the grass.
Shi Fen returned the gravity to one g and stood back up. It took a long while for his body to return to normal.
"Thirty-seven g is already this intense. At ten thousand g, I'd probably be crushed into a puddle of mush." Shi Fen was stunned. "But this really is a great place to train. The gravity chamber at the Elite Training Camp is nothing compared to this."
Shi Fen felt that with the Inner World, he didn't need to join the Elite Training Camp. He wouldn't even need to practice the Genetic Origin Energy cultivation method. Give him a decade or so, and he could become a War God.
With gravity adjustable around the clock and such a dense concentration of cosmic energy, the conditions were incredible. He didn't need to exercise or learn how to cultivate Genetic Origin Energy. He could simply live here, adjusting the gravity so it wouldn't interfere with his daily activities, and let his strength grow imperceptibly as he went about his life and rested.
It was no exaggeration to say that anyone who stayed here long enough could become a War God!
After getting himself back in shape, Shi Fen adjusted the Inner World's gravity again.
This time, he didn't increase it. He set it to zero.
The instant gravity disappeared, droplets of water on countless slender blades of grass separated from them and floated nearby.
The breeze formed by the Inner World's dense cosmic energy did not stop when gravity vanished. Inertia kept it moving in the same direction, carrying countless tiny droplets of water along with it.
They rose from the ground and flew into the sky.
When something people took for granted suddenly turned upside down, it became a sight beyond imagination.
When gravity disappeared, Shi Fen witnessed this magical scene.
At the same time,
his soles lifted slightly from the ground. The pressure of gravity vanished, and the muscles he had tensed to support himself suddenly had nothing to do. He experienced a strange sense of relaxation.
Shi Fen pushed off the grass with his Spiritual Force and drifted into the sky.
Countless tiny droplets followed him, swirling around him as they rose. Seeing them all around him, Shi Fen hurriedly wrapped himself in his Spiritual Force to keep his clothes dry.
Once he was ready, he closed his eyes and savored the thrill of floating away from the ground.
After drifting for a while, he felt a strange sense of panic. This endless flight felt like being cast adrift in space, and it frightened him.
He hurriedly used his Spiritual Force on his clothes to control his body and stand upright in midair.
He understood the greatness of astronauts.
In the empty expanse of space, there were no points to push off from. Without special equipment, astronauts could not move around.
Every time astronauts performed a spacewalk, they had to face the risk of being cast adrift. If an accident severed their connection to the spacecraft, they would be lost in space forever.
They would never return to Earth.
And that was only one of countless risks they had to face.
Every astronaut was an elite among humanity, a hero!
They deserved everyone's respect!
Shi Fen floated in the air, his thoughts churning. After a moment of reflection, he vanished from the sky and returned to his bedroom. The Inner World's gravity returned to normal, and countless droplets fell from the sky. Rain poured down inside the Inner World.
Shi Fen left the Inner World without pausing. Using his Spiritual Force to connect with the Eight Trigrams Reincarnation Mirror, he entered the Treasure Refining World for the second time. After he went in, the mirror hovered quietly one meter above the bedroom floor.
He teleported to the center of the Main Hall. Carefully using his Spiritual Force to grip his own clothes, he lifted himself into the air and curiously looked around.
Compared to before,
the wall that had previously held the bookshelves now had three enormous semicircular archways. Each one looked to be seventy or eighty meters tall and one hundred twenty or thirty meters wide.
The three archways were spaced far apart and arranged evenly along the wall.
A huge plaque hung above each entrance, bearing three complicated block characters. The final character on each plaque was the same.
"These must be some kind of hall," Shi Fen guessed.
The arrangement of objects in the plaza had changed completely.
All the Tech Tools were now cutting-edge models. The simplified tools he had used before were gone. Many of the current tools were no longer on their own but arranged in groups.
These extra tools filled the spaces previously occupied by the simplified models.
In one corner, ten Mining Vehicles were parked in a neat row.
"I'm rich! With all this tech equipment, I could become a billionaire worth billions of Hunyuan Units just by mining, refining alloys, and clearing trash—if I had enough time."
Shi Fen looked around excitedly. These were the rewards for eighteen years of hard work.
"It was worth it." Shi Fen clenched his fist and excitedly smacked his palm. "The big shot who gave me this inheritance is so generous. I completed my first trial and got all this good stuff."
"Let's see if I can use them."
He slowly lowered himself near one of the tools. When he touched it, it didn't move at all.
"Just as I thought. I'll have to find the bookshelves again." Shi Fen was prepared for this and wasn't disappointed. He used his Spiritual Force to fly quickly toward the archway on the far left.
"Hm? It's empty."
Seeing nothing inside, Shi Fen exclaimed softly and immediately headed for another one.
"Still empty. Looks like it's in the archway on the far right."
Shi Fen was already moving quickly, but he sped up even more, eagerly rushing through the final archway.
"Just as I thought. It's here." As soon as he entered, he spotted a pile of things in the corner to his right. The most conspicuous among them was a bookshelf.
Shi Fen flew closer.
He discovered that the place looked a lot like the "library" from before. Long, standard bookshelves stood against the wall, and the same two sets of "ultramodern-style" sofas and coffee tables sat in front of them.
The bookshelves were exactly the same size as before.
Half of them held Extreme Forging, which Shi Fen had studied. Though the books still hadn't been translated, he recognized them at a glance. The other half bore four enormous, complex block characters on their spines, along with numerous smaller annotations.
Drawing on his previous experience, Shi Fen immediately examined the upper-left corner of the bookshelves. Unfortunately, neither section had any unusual books in that spot.
Shi Fen didn't hesitate. He immediately left the Treasure Refining World and entered the Image World.
Inside the Image World, Shi Fen stood in midair and gave the surroundings a quick glance. Thanks to his powerful memory and astonishing ability to process information, he confirmed that nothing had changed.
Once he was sure, he flew at full speed toward the archway on the far right.
When he reached the bookshelf, he spotted a book titled Qualifications in the upper-left corner and immediately picked it up. To his shock, it was empty; not a single word had been written on its pages.
Shi Fen hurriedly examined the Extreme Forging books. They all had text, but all the books introducing various tools were gone. Only books related to forging remained. Somewhat relieved, he began checking the other section.
"As expected, two-character titles."
He yanked down a book and opened it impatiently.
A flood of information instantly poured into Shi Fen's mind. The Treasure Refining World and the Image World lit up with colorful light at the same time. In the glow, all the text transformed into Huaxia Script.
Shi Fen sensed the change and smiled slightly, thinking to himself, Just as I thought.
He focused his mind and concentrated on absorbing the vast amount of text and images.
