Chapter 317: Entering Awakening, Comprehending the Fourth Layer of the Divine Body

After the second batch of Soul Beasts moved in, they added much vitality to the Second Planet and made the entire planet lively; Soul Beasts that had not yet taken human form ran and cheered in the primeval forest, familiarizing themselves with their new environment.

Suddenly, Jerry realized a problem: the issue of food. Among the Soul Beasts that had moved over, a portion still needed to eat, a matter he had forgotten to consider before.

Most of those that moved over this time were Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts, but a portion of them were gregarious; naturally, there would be some newborn Soul Beasts in the groups, and since their cultivation was not high, they still needed to eat.

After thinking of this, Jerry took many supplies out of his ring, which contained a lot of food, to feed these Soul Beasts that needed to eat first.

The Second Planet had only just become a Life Planet, and the time was too short; Jerry had only planted some plants, and the ecosystem had not yet been built. With so many Soul Beasts moving over this time, the ecosystem would be easy to build later.

After settling these Soul Beasts, Jerry began to attend to serious business.

Now, the conversion of soil was carried out directly inside the Earth Core Space, which undoubtedly reduced a lot of trouble.

Once the soil was converted, it was directly forged and absorbed by the big fireball in the Earth Core.

The planet was growing at every moment, which was completely different from Douluo Star; the World Consciousness of Douluo Star always waited until it had accumulated enough energy for advancement before advancing in a one-time, explosive manner, which was why every advancement was like the end of the world.

Now that he had seen the growth process of the Second Planet, Jerry could not understand why the World Consciousness of Douluo Star would do such a thing.

Now that he had left Douluo Star, the Second Planet was the place he would develop in the future.

Every day he converted soil, converted the soul power in the universe, and converted water, and the planet was growing bit by bit.

Jerry checked the current conversion speed and found it could not keep up with the planet's absorption speed at all, which made Jerry think that as long as he converted fast enough, the planet would grow fast.

Once there were more clones, the conversion speed could be greatly increased, and the speed of the planet's evolution would also become faster.

Moreover, Jerry discovered that a subtle change had appeared on the Second Planet today; he concentrated his spirit to perceive it and found that the concentration of soul power and the gravity between heaven and earth on the Second Planet had both increased by 11 times.

This tiny change was difficult to notice without careful observation, but Jerry still discovered it by virtue of his powerful perception.

World Advancement could completely be carried out slowly and steadily, which also made Jerry more certain that the World Consciousness of Douluo Star was up to something behind the scenes.

Now that he had left Douluo Star, he could not manage why the World Consciousness did this; when there was an opportunity in the future, he must investigate it clearly.

What Jerry cared about most now was the change in the Second Planet; looking at the Earth Core, Jerry suddenly fell into deep thought.

The Fairy Queen, Elf Queen, and Silver Dragon King beside him also discovered Jerry's abnormality.

The Silver Dragon King was just about to call out to Jerry to see what was wrong with him when he suddenly stood still; seeing the Silver Dragon King's action, the Fairy Queen hurriedly stopped the Silver Dragon King.

Pulling the Silver Dragon King to one side, she then said in a soft voice: "Silver Dragon King, don't disturb Jerry. His current state should be that he has fallen into an Awakening. Awakening is not such an easy thing; since he has finally entered the state of Awakening, we must not disturb him."

"Awakening!"

The Silver Dragon King whispered in surprise; although she had heard of Awakening, she had not yet seen anyone truly enter the state of Awakening.

Therefore, she had not discovered that Jerry had entered the state of Awakening.

The Silver Dragon King turned her head to look at Jerry, and the Fairy Queen and Elf Queen also looked at Jerry at the same time.

At this moment, Jerry stood quietly in place, motionless, and even closed his eyes, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

A faint vibration began to permeate around his body, stirring an invisible force in the air.

Immediately following, the various Rules between the surrounding heaven and earth gradually emerged around Jerry, one by one, rotating and leaping around him like light and shadow, as if they were a beautiful dance.

This scene made one feel incomparably magical, as if there were an indescribable beauty that made one unable to help but be intoxicated by it.

"This is an excellent opportunity. Everyone, sit down quickly and observe these manifested Rules at close range; this way, it will be easier to comprehend the Rules."

After the Fairy Queen finished speaking, she sat down cross-legged gracefully and began to immerse herself in the Rules around Jerry, feeling the mysteries contained within them.

Seeing the Fairy Queen's action, the Silver Dragon King and the Elf Queen did not hesitate in the slightest and also followed suit by sitting down, sensing these magical Rules together.

Jerry felt as if he were in the boundless universe, his body floating uncontrollably as if he were roaming in space.

He did not know how long he had been floating before he finally opened his eyes, and the scene around him began to change.

In this universe, various Meteorites were flying around at high speed, colliding with each other.

A huge Meteorite suddenly appeared in Jerry's line of sight; the small Meteorites near it crashed into it one after another, but it remained motionless, unlike other Meteorites that shattered into pieces.

On the contrary, the small Meteorites that hit this huge Meteorite seemed to be adsorbed onto the surface of this large Meteorite and could no longer leave.

As time passed, this huge Meteorite kept absorbing the small Meteorites nearby, and its own size gradually became enormous.

By now, it had grown to the size of an ordinary planet.

However, this huge Meteorite did not stop its forward pace and continued to float forward, as if it were looking for more Meteorites to absorb.

After an unknown number of years, Jerry suddenly saw a strong ray of light shoot into his eyes, shining so brightly that he could barely open his eyes.

As the planet-sized Meteorite continued to move forward, he finally saw the scene ahead clearly: a huge Sun appeared within his line of sight.

Jerry carefully calculated the movement trajectory of the planet-sized Meteorite and confirmed that it would not crash into the Sun; it was still two light-years away at its closest point to the Sun.

He finally set his mind at ease and began to observe this spectacular scene carefully.

As the planet-sized Meteorite moved, it soon reached the position closest to the Sun. Just at this moment, the Meteorite shook slightly and then continued to move forward.

Suddenly, Jerry discovered that the movement trajectory of the Meteorite had changed and began to deviate from its original orbit.

He immediately thought of the Sun's gravity, and this discovery made him suddenly enlightened.

He realized that this Meteorite was being acted upon by the Sun's gravity and began to revolve around the Sun.

Jerry quietly observed this wonderful scene, watching this Meteorite revolve in space.

After an unknown number of years of revolution, the originally strangely shaped Meteorite gradually became smooth and eventually turned into a sphere.

This was the birth of a planet, and it was the first planet revolving around this Sun.

Watching this planet revolve around the Sun, day after day, year after year.

Jerry also fell into a deep sleep during this process; when Jerry opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find that in the galaxy centered on this Sun, a few new planets had appeared.

What was even more surprising was that there were a few satellites on the periphery of these planets, including the planet he had been observing all along.

The appearance of so many planets and satellites caused the initial planet to undergo huge changes.

The soul power that was originally relatively violent in the universe also became slightly gentler.

After an unknown number of more years, this initial planet seemed to have absorbed enough solar energy; the Earth Core began to change, condense, and compress, and was finally ignited.

This process was very slow, and it was unknown how many years it lasted.

Because the planet had its own temperature, the soul power in the universe was attracted over, and changes began to occur on the surface of the planet; water and soil appeared.

As more and more water and soil appeared, the entire planet was enveloped.

Because the planet was now releasing a great deal of heat, scenes of magma eruptions appeared on the planet's surface.

After another long passage of time, the water on the planet's surface became more abundant, widely covering the entire planet.

This water absorbed the planet's heat; the planet was like a child who had received its mother's comfort and was no longer angry or raging, and the surface of the entire planet began to stabilize.

In this stable state, the planet's surface began to form stable terrain, such as vast oceans, winding rivers, and spectacular high mountains.

After some more time, the atmosphere formed, blocking many of the scorching rays emitted by the Sun, and the planet's temperature slowly began to drop.

Watching the scene before him, Jerry fell into a deep sleep once again.

While Jerry was sleeping, the planet was undergoing earth-shaking changes at every moment.

By the time Jerry woke up again, living things and plants had appeared on the planet.

Gradually, more and more living things appeared, and a food chain was born; they attacked one another, and the defeated side died directly, becoming food for the victors.

After an unknown amount of time, the planet began to change, but this change was not very drastic; only Jerry noticed it, and none of the living things on the planet felt it.

Jerry was very familiar with this change; it was World Advancement.

Jerry began to observe the planet carefully, and as time passed, the planet advanced four more times.

After five advancements, Jerry discovered that the current planet was very similar to the original Douluo Star; Jerry suddenly realized that Douluo Star must have also advanced in the past.

Just as Jerry was preparing to continue observing the subsequent changes of the planet, all the scenes before him suddenly disappeared, and he appeared in a vast, white space.

This space was pure white, without boundaries, and nothing could be seen.

Where is this?

Jerry felt very confused, not knowing where he was now.

He tried to explore this mysterious space, but found that he could not move his body and could only float in this space.

He struggled, trying to control his body.

Just as Jerry felt he was about to be able to struggle, the scene before him disappeared again, and Jerry's consciousness finally returned to his own body.

When he opened his eyes, he found that he was still in the original position, having not moved a single bit.

At the same time, he saw the Fairy Queen, the Elf Queen, and the Silver Dragon King all sitting cross-legged and Cultivation around him, looking as if they were comprehending something.

Before Jerry had decided what to do, the three finished their Cultivation, and each of their faces was beaming with smiles.

"Jerry, you are so amazing, you actually had an Awakening. Tell us quickly, what did you comprehend during your Awakening?"

The Fairy Queen spoke up; Jerry's Awakening this time had deepened the comprehension of many Rules just by being near him, so the things Jerry comprehended must be even more.

"Awakening? You mean I fell into an Awakening? But I don't think I comprehended anything at all!"

Jerry was also surprised to hear that he had fallen into an Awakening, but he soon began to recall what he had actually comprehended, and it seemed like absolutely nothing.

Since it was an Awakening, there must be something he had not noticed.

Jerry discovered that he did not know how many years had passed while he was in the Awakening, but it seemed that not much time had passed in the outside world.

During the Awakening, he had experienced too many years, and now he needed to recall it slowly, bit by bit.

But after thinking for a long time, Jerry still could not think of what it was; could it be that it was just watching the birth and advancement of a planet?

Seeing that Jerry's expression was full of confusion and distress, the Fairy Queen spoke gently:

"Do not worry. You have just experienced an Awakening, which is very precious and rare. If you are not clear about what you have gained, it does not matter; relax your mind and accept the process. So, can you tell me how you fell into the Awakening?"

Hearing the Fairy Queen's question, Jerry slowly came back to his senses and replied: "I didn't do anything. I was just looking at the conversion situation of all my clones and looking at the scene of the Earth Core, and then I fell into the Awakening. During the Awakening, I watched how a planet is formed and the planet's advancement, and then I came out."

Suddenly, Jerry was stunned.

Energy conversion, Earth Core, planet birth, planet advancement.

It seemed useless, but it felt like it was pointing him in a direction.

Circulation, that's it, circulation.

Thinking of this, Jerry suddenly became happy.

"I am going into seclusion!"

After Jerry finished speaking, he instantly disappeared in front of them.

When he saw Jerry again, Jerry appeared in the space of the Earth Core.

Looking at the large fireball in front of him, Jerry suddenly understood.

Divine Body Third Layer Energy Body; he himself was now equivalent to an energy source.

It was merely energy, and it needed to be converted to release different effects.

The Earth Core was actually equivalent to a large-scale conversion device, absorbing energy from the outside and then providing it for the growth of the planet outside itself.

His own body was the same as the Earth Core, constantly absorbing energy from the outside, but he kept it all inside his body; if he did not utilize it, it would always stay inside his body.

But the Earth Core was not like that; after absorbing energy, it automatically radiated heat. Whether this heat was used to refine soil or to provide temperature for the planet, it formed a stable circulation and was always operating in an orderly manner, unlike the energy inside his Divine Body. Compared to that, the energy inside his Divine Body was dead energy.

The veil of the Divine Body Fourth Layer was being lifted for Jerry bit by bit.

Moreover, seeing the formation of the planet with his own eyes during the Awakening was just like our process of Cultivation, full of hardships.

Everything on the planet afterward was clarifying a principle to him: circulation, sustainable development.

Whether it was living things or not, from birth to death, the essence was also a circulation. The planet's advancement was likewise because everything on the planet had entered the next, higher-level circulation.

Having understood these things, the veil of the Divine Body Fourth Layer was lifted: the Fourth Layer, Divine Body Circulation Transformation.

Having understood the direction for future Cultivation, Jerry moved his divine sense, and all his clones were retracted.

Even the Pillar Supporting the Sky, which was far away in Wuhun City on Douluo Star, shot into the sky at this moment and disappeared directly from everyone's sight.

This directly caused the entire Wuhun City to fall into a tense atmosphere; all the high-level officials began to hold meetings again, and Wuhun City also entered a state of preparation for war.
