Chapter 174

Having made his decision, a glint flashed in Wen Jing's eyes. He concentrated his energy in his legs and feet, and his figure began to traverse the turbulent ground, between ice and fire.

With her eyes closed, she focused all her attention on sensing the subtle but constantly changing Shockwave emanating from her body to counteract the irregular tremors of the ground beneath her feet.

This is a way to develop control over fluctuations.

To be honest, this kind of extreme training environment requires spending money to simulate in special venues at the Mystic Radiance Academy. Not only is the intensity not as high as here, but the space is also far inferior.

Time passed second by second.

As Wen Jing walked on this planet that was constantly shaking, her originally swaying figure gradually became steady.

In the end, the Shockwave she released had completely merged with the vibration frequency of the planet, becoming the only stable anchor point in the turbulent landscape.

[Master 'Combat Art: Shockwave ', Skill Points +30]

As a notification sounded from the panel in his mind, Wen Jing suddenly opened his eyes.

In this safe environment, she did not hesitate to issue commands to the panel.

"Panel, evolve!"

This time, after many attempts, the panel that had previously remained unresponsive finally gave her the familiar feedback.

[The direction of evolution has been determined...]

[Evolve by consuming points...]

[2577→0]

The moment his Skill Points were consumed, Wen Jing instantly and naturally transformed from his human form into his Wilderness Body form.

Immediately afterwards, the motionless, pitch-black insect became blurry.

It was a strange feeling; she still looked the same as before, but you couldn't see her clearly at all, as if a high-definition photo had been blurred with a special filter.

In Wen Jing's own perception, her spiritual consciousness suddenly blossomed and instantly shattered into particles with countless possibilities.

She seemed to have become a quantum probability cloud, capable of condensing and dispersing at any moment.

This strange state lasted for a full five minutes before her figure suddenly collapsed again, regaining its 'clarity'.

[Evolution complete]

[Split II]

[Gained Trait: Multiple Consciousnesses]

Chapter 174

On a strange satellite constantly experiencing earthquakes, Wen Jing, whose splitting ability had finally been upgraded, felt an unprecedented 'liveliness' within his body.

She can now Consciousness Split into four parts, upgrading from a dual-core to a quad-core system.

"I wonder if the next upgrade will be a double increase or Geometry increase?"

Unlike the pain of the first Consciousness Diversion, Wen Jing completed the split easily and naturally this time.

Three entirely new consciousnesses, like three newborn hearts, beat under her unified will.

The thought network is operating at an unprecedented speed, with countless ideas, deductions, and possibilities twinkling like stars in the sky.

As her computing power surged, she momentarily felt an almost omniscient and omnipotent illusion.

This feeling is wonderful; there is no distinction between primary and secondary elements. Each of the four Wen Jing is Wen Jing on its own, and all of them together are also Wen Jing.

As soon as Wen Jing had a thought, her figure suddenly transformed into three overlapping images.

The next moment, one double image moved to the left and another to the right, emerging from the 'original body' in the center.

Three jet-black alien insects, identical in appearance but with weakened auras, appeared here.

"How do you feel?" Wen Jing from the central government asked his two other selves.

"Unprecedented clarity." Wen Jing on the left was somewhat excited.

Wen Jing on the right cautiously said, "However, our physical attributes have been evenly distributed, and our mental attributes have been weakened. We only have one hundred points left on each of our panels. Fortunately, the [Calmness] skill we already acquired hasn't disappeared."

Although it looks like three people are talking, they are actually talking to themselves. The different words are actually different thoughts that Wen Jing has at the same time.

"It's the same every time there's a split, but this time it's different. Except for the mental attribute points, all other attribute points can be freely allocated and transferred according to will."

As he spoke, Wen Jing on the left reached out and touched Wen Jing in the center, transferring his body's essence and attribute points.

"Confirmed. The acquired traits are shared by all Clone and will not disappear even if the attribute points fall below 200."

Wen Jing on the right said, "It's daytime now, and there are still ten hours until night. Stay here to practice the Star Core Meditation Method again, and then we'll travel at night."

The other two Wen Jing immediately began cultivating in unison.

If she doesn't have enough Skill Points to master Shockwave, she'll now use the Secret Treasure Gate to explore a daytime civilization ruin.

Since we already have enough, the best way to maximize efficiency is to find the natural Ancient Wilderness and replenish the strength of each Clone.

As for randomly moving around during the day... that's definitely not an option.

Although Wen Jing now has three active Clone, which provides a cost for trial and error, if he makes a mistake and the new Clone is captured by the Spacetime Amber, it would be equivalent to locking up two of his Clone.

[Multiple Consciousnesses] are far more sophisticated and advanced than the original [Consciousness Split].

All attributes except for mental attributes can be transferred and allocated among themselves. The only limitation is that there are only four 'total slots' under any circumstances.

If Wen Jing dies and creates a Clone, he can quickly split off again to move around in the outside world. But being trapped in the Spacetime Amber and unable to split off again is a real loss.

The three Wen Jing, like the three corpses of a Daoist sect in a cultivation novel, began meditative cultivation in this world filled with ice, fire, and earthquakes, re-condensing their spiritual core.

Time passed...

The first star lit up in the sea of consciousness that had collapsed due to the death of its Clone.

At the same time, the second, third, and fourth stars lit up simultaneously.

The four consciousnesses are synchronized in a higher dimension based on the panel. In this reconstruction, all the Mental Star Core were born and shone at the same time.

Even more remarkably, the spiritual energy fields of each star core interacted with each other, forming two pairs of binary star systems.

Each pair of star nuclei orbits closely together, then rotates in a larger orbit around a common center of mass, like a dynamic '∞'.

As the massive gray fog receded, Wen Jing's mental consciousness expanded once more, and the world became clear again.

Eight times! Even though her mental attributes were weakened, her mental attack, defense, and growth rate were eight times that of her peak period.

A continuous and stable mental force is constantly being generated, and the inexhaustible power is enough for Wen Jing to exert a powerful mental suppression on his enemies.

More importantly, in the past, when cultivating mental techniques, the increase in mental attributes was not nonexistent, but it was extremely small, only two decimal places, and the panel would only increase by one point every few days, far less than that of devouring. Now, however, this efficiency has jumped to one point per hour.

[Mastered ' Star Core Meditation Method ', Skill Points +500]

"It's starting to take shape like a star sea... If it upgrades and splits again and condenses a star core, it might not even need to delve into the depths of secret techniques, and could directly reach the perfection level in terms of 'quantity'."

"However, the Skill Points required to upgrade to level three Split are far greater than those gained through Meditation."

As night fell again, all three Wen Jing opened their eyes simultaneously.

"Let's begin."

The figure on the left disappears first, then moves randomly.

Two minutes later, the Clone darted away again.

After waiting another two minutes, the Clone on the right disappeared.

This time, Wen Jing chose to randomly travel between her three Clone, an idea she had had before. The Clone would simultaneously perform different actions to maximize efficiency.

After the last Clone entered the Ancient Wilderness realm, all three Wen Jing simultaneously confirmed it.

"We're not in the same world."

This phenomenon suggests that the possibility of Wen Jing being sucked into the ' Spacetime Amber ' during random travels in the daytime is not that high.

"But... there's still no need to gamble."

Wen Jing, inside the Spacetime Amber, said, "With the Secret Treasure Gate providing coordinates for the ruins of civilizations, there's no need for random daytime travel."

"That's right. Now, let's start absorbing as quickly as possible to increase our attribute points, and then begin exploring the ruins of the civilization."

The three insects, located in three different worlds, began their first action after their Clone increased.

Amidst the howling winds, Wen Jing struggled to fly, battling terrifying force and howling gales, golden cloud patterns of the Myriad Transformation Furnace illuminating his carapace.

In the Ancient Wilderness night, there were no stars; the light of this world came from the sparks generated by the Extreme Speed friction of sand and stones.

"No, the strength and speed are both insufficient..."

If she possessed all her attributes, she would be able to remain unmoved in this extreme environment, but now she has to expend nearly 30% of her energy just to barely maintain balance.

Under such a powerful vortex, gravitational energy is in chaos; rashly switching to Gluttony state would be tantamount to suicide.

Before we could even adjust to the Wen Jing, dozens of transparent ripples quietly appeared in the gray-black sandstorm.

The wolf-like Wilderness Beast, moving in the wind, attacked like ghosts, taking advantage of the wind's force.

Wen Jing immediately retaliated, releasing Frost Vein Silk with the wind, but its power was greatly reduced due to the suppression of the extraordinary wind. It could only slightly force the wolf pack back and could not freeze them as expected.

The wolves keenly sensed her 'weakness' and their attacks became even more rampant.

In a perfectly coordinated attack, two wolves drew the other's attention, while a third pounced from a blind spot, its gleaming claws striking Wen Jing's carapace and leaving a crack.

"It's been so long since I've been injured like this..."

Wen Jing's gaze turned cold, and his body suddenly shrank, transforming into a tiny insect, and shot into the wind wolf's eye like a bullet.

*

In a stone forest filled with strange lights, the chaotic magnetic poles and energy fields immediately made Wen Jing feel dizzy.

The once crystal-clear perception of the outside world has now become blurry and filled with noise, like a radio that has lost its signal.

She carefully navigated through the rocky forest, trying to find valuable prey.
