Achievement

The Essence Apertures flickered between light and dark, like tiny suns blinking into existence, while Zhao Cheng himself teetered on the brink of self-destruction.

Yet his mind was tranquil to the extreme. Even if he exploded with a bang the very next moment, scattering himself all over the ground—and even into the sky—not a single stray thought arose within him.

He was not even nervous. His essence, qi, and spirit were not in a state of tension, but utterly relaxed.

Over countless experiments, Zhao Cheng had discovered that if he remained absolutely relaxed, he could delay the explosion by roughly 0.1 seconds.

Naturally, that was an extremely brief span of time. But in condensing the One-Origin Aperture Method, let alone 0.1 seconds, even 0.01 seconds could very well determine success or failure.

The changes in all nine hundred and sixty Essence Apertures were reflected in Zhao Cheng's lake-like mind. At the same time, they were transformed into a kind of informational change that only someone who had mastered the One-Origin Aperture Method could comprehend.

It was like a string of code made up of zeroes and ones. Ordinary people could see nothing in it, but to a professional, everything was crystal clear.

At this moment, Zhao Cheng was already using the information manifested by the Essence Apertures in his spiritual world as initial values—the foundation for constructing a certain data model.

Numbers plus formulas, constructing a model—this was classic mathematical thinking.

There existed a school of thought in the world that mathematical calculations could construct higher-dimensional models within a lower-dimensional world.

Of course, it was only a school of thought. Humanity's understanding of higher-dimensional existence still belonged to theory and imagination; there were no actual examples.

But Zhao Cheng could be certain that this was no falsehood.
