Naturally, Chen Jue had no idea that his casual leap would cause so much trouble and set so many things in motion.
He only remembered that after completing "shattering the void," heat had surged restlessly throughout his body. In urgent need of physical cooling, he had seized the moment and jumped into the reservoir.
It was just like those people online who liked to heat iron balls to 1,000°C and drop them into all sorts of strange liquids and ice for physics experiments.
Because his body had undergone nuclear fusion, his surface temperature had long since reached an unimaginably high level. His leap into the water was more than ten thousand times more intense than dropping a red-hot iron ball into water!
The astonishing heat radiating from him had not only brought the entire reservoir to a boil, but also evaporated every last drop of the nearly one million cubic meters of water stored within it.
What did one million cubic meters mean?
It was equivalent to an entire day's domestic water consumption for a city of one million people!
The only rather unfortunate ones were the various freshwater fish, shrimp, crabs, softshell turtles, and other aquatic plants and animals stocked in the reservoir. All of them had suffered a catastrophic disaster. There was no need to fish them out; the boiling water had cooked them outright.
Massive clouds of white steam shot into the night sky. Had it not already been well past midnight, with no one beside the reservoir, the nearby villagers would probably have discovered this astonishing sight long ago.
"Even evaporating the whole reservoir wasn't enough. There's too much heat accumulated in my body. I still need a large amount of liquid to cool down."
"Nuclear fusion in a human body, turning the body into a
