Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 764 - 737: Tamu’s Gaze (Final)

After all, this was just a small volcano forcibly catalyzed.

After a few eruptions, it exhausted all its stock and entered a state of calm.

At the same time, the tremors of the earth gradually subsided.

Watching the volcanic ash rising like a mushroom cloud and the magma clumps crashing everywhere, Chen Shouyi couldn’t help but frown slightly and waved his hand.

Immediately, whether it was the magma and volcanic ash in midair or the dust filling the sky, it was filtered by an invisible force, gathering into a large dust ball, then crashing down from midair.

If this power was considered purely in terms of destructive capabilities, it certainly couldn’t compare to the fury and strength of transforming into a giant, but its visual and intricate aspects made it more awe-inspiring and magical, completely achieving what the mind wills, thought becoming law.

"Thankfully, it didn’t cause much impact!" Chen Shouyi breathed a sigh of relief.

This place was sparsely populated, with an extremely harsh climate, basically an uninhabited area. The existence of a small volcano here wouldn’t affect much, and as for changing the surrounding climate, it probably would only improve, not worsen.

Next, he flew back to the ground.

The originally more than twenty-meter-diameter metal sphere had now grown to over seventy meters, with a mass weighing several million tons, resting on the ground like a small mountain, which was quite magnificent.

In fact, many mountain peaks don’t necessarily have a vertical height of seventy meters.

It’s entirely a miracle.

In terms of value, even a trillion is a conservative estimate.

After all, this was heavy metal, not common metals like iron. Gold, silver, and platinum were ordinary, and there were many rare metals and radioactive elements of equally high value.

However, Chen Shouyi still felt a bit uneasy.

Such crudely condensed material was too loose.

Not only did the atoms not bond tightly, with gaps everywhere, but the atoms in their normal state also appeared too sparse.

Comparing an atom to a standard football field, the atomic nucleus is only the size of a ping-pong ball, occupying only about a billionth of the area, while the electrons surrounding the nucleus are a thousand times smaller than the nucleus.

In a sense, humans have never truly touched matter because the matter that living beings can touch is essentially just the electromagnetic field filling the inside of atoms, the whole world is empty.

And the electromagnetic field can be adjusted to rebalance and contract.

He closed his eyes lightly, trying to penetrate the metal sphere with his will.

Alas, it was both his success and his failure.

Heavy metals have a strong shielding effect against will interference, and his will only penetrated a meter before it could go no further. Fortunately, he could enter the metal sphere and transform it inch by inch from the inside out, which was undoubtedly a difficult project.

Chen Shouyi spent more than ten days to finally complete it.

...

"Buzz!"

Chen Shouyi powerfully slapped the metal sphere.

The sphere emitted a humming sound, blurring the air from the vibrations, yet no mark was left on its surface, showing its toughness.

Now the entire sphere had shrunk to over fifty meters, with its physical and chemical properties having undergone earth-shattering changes, even exhibiting a sort of crystallization phenomenon on the surface, appearing incredibly smooth.

Moreover, due to the tighter bonding of radioactive elements, it generated a kind of chain reaction, enhancing its emitted radiation by more than tenfold.

If it were a normal heavy metal sphere, his will could penetrate a meter.

But with this sphere, he couldn’t even manage five centimeters.

"It should be enough." Chen Shouyi thought to himself.

Even though he could do better, like creating a bigger metal sphere, such endeavours are endless. What would be considered safe—a sphere with a hundred-meter diameter? Or a thousand meters...

The world’s heavy metals might not suffice.

He had already spent over a month here, skirting the edge of mental exhaustion every day, his body pushed to its limits, losing weight, not to mention the two little ones constantly clamoring to go home, even he could hardly hold on.

...

The next day.

After a night of rest, Chen Shouyi was invigorated, completely back to peak condition.

After washing up, he came to the metal sphere, his body slowly merging into its core.

"To live or to die, it all depends on this time." Chen Shouyi’s heart pounded.

As usual, he waited for an hour.

He entered the Memory Virtual World, then began deep meditation.

The divine light in his mind had already dimmed to the extreme, as if it could extinguish at any moment, allowing his consciousness to invade without resistance.

Horrifying pressure descended once again.

It turned out Chen Shouyi’s efforts over the past half-month weren’t in vain.

The pressure was reduced by half again.

Under the terrifying pressure, Chen Shouyi held on for a few breaths, then a "pop" was heard, as the divinity, which had reached its limit, suddenly shattered into countless starry points, merging into his consciousness.

Like a starving person enjoying a meal, his consciousness rapidly expanded, accompanied by intense pleasure, giving a sense of being satiated.

Meanwhile, as if the dust covering the mind had been wiped away, the entire mind cleared and became transparent.

"Finally succeeded." He was overjoyed, almost coming out of meditation.

However, just as he breathed a sigh of relief.

The pressure suddenly descended again.

Chen Shouyi vaguely saw a pair of blurred eyes slowly opening from the chaos...

"Boom!"

Like staring into the abyss of death, with just one glance, his whole body violently shook, and his mind went blank.

Terrifying, vast, cold.

Brilliant like a glaring sun.

"No!"

...

At this moment, all the Barbarian Gods left on Earth, no matter what they were doing, no matter where they were, suddenly felt a sense of anger, inexplicable, followed by a summoning urge, causing their true forms to descend one by one.

The nearby Goddess of Agriculture was the first to arrive.

She wore a headdress decorated with ears of rice and wheat, dressed in a long skirt embroidered with all sorts of flowers, exuding a strange floral fragrance.

As she arrived, the cold wind receded, the ice and snow began to melt, and numerous sprouts emerged from the frozen soil, rapidly growing. In just a few minutes, everything revived, and spring returned to the Earth, the ground teeming with life.

But her face wasn’t so spring-like, instead, it was full of vigilance.

Seeing the abrupt metal sphere on the ground in the distance, she held a delicate short sword and stepped forward cautiously.

At this moment, the metal sphere’s surface suddenly squirmed slightly, and then a fair hand slowly reached out.

The Goddess of Agriculture, who was about to have a look at what was going on, felt a sudden panic at the sight of this eerie scene, her heart almost skipping a beat, her reason, clouded by Tamu’s will, swiftly returned, and she quickly fled without looking back.

Only feeling a sense of lingering fear.

It was only then that she remembered it was already the territory of the Great Xia Country.

For something to cause such a commotion here, and not to be a god, there was no one else but that one.
