His eyes widened a little before he frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a minute... if I can absorb divine energy directly from the universe...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly turned his head to the side, almost like he was looking back toward his old world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And because of that... gods can sense us easily, right? So basically...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression darkened. He pointed at himself while staring at Atlas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t tell me me and the others are basically walking treasures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hahah... not walking treasures. To many gods, you’re basically a supreme-grade divine elixir.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion froze completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner of his mouth twitched as he grabbed his forehead and let out a long, annoyed sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goddammit... I trained my ass off just to become some damn elixir?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Of course. The energy you absorb is even purer than what most gods normally absorb themselves.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked genuinely irritated now. \"No wonder that lower god noticed us instantly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Three God Physiques awakening at once in a lower world is basically like witnessing three impossible miracles happen at the same time.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[So naturally, they thought some supreme treasure had appeared. Of course they got excited.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion clicked his tongue hard. \"So if stronger gods find me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Of course they would recruit you and protect you... but only for one reason.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[To consume you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space suddenly became quiet after that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion narrowed his eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t scared, but the idea of being targeted by gods just because of his existence sounded insanely troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled slowly, then cracked his neck. \"Then I’ll just become strong enough that nobody dares touch me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Now that sounds more like you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion waved his hand dismissively. \"Alright, alright... enough of that. I still have questions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What is it?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion hesitated for a moment before speaking again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The more I think about the evolution of Unique Physique to God Physique... the more I am dumbfounded by it.

But first... let me make myself comfortable.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion frowned immediately. \"The hell do you mean ’comfortable’?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, light gathered within the empty white space around them. It swirled together until a small figure finally appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Atlas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except now, he looked nothing like the intimidating system entity Garion was used to seeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, Atlas had turned into a tiny silver-haired human no bigger than a baby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Small glowing wings floated behind his back, and his little arms were crossed proudly over his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, he looked more like a smug fairy than some terrifying cosmic being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Don’t look so shocked.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked twice. \"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly pointed at him. \"...this is your real form?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Not exactly.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas casually floated over and sat on Garion’s shoulder, swinging his legs like he owned the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Think of it as a temporary form.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion kept staring at him for a long second. \"You look ridiculous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas gasped dramatically and placed a hand over his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Excuse me? This is premium-quality cuteness.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s mouth twitched. \"You look like Rachel would kidnap you and force you into tea parties.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas instantly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[...Actually, that sounds terrifying.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second later, Atlas smiled again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This form was a gift from her.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion glanced at him. \"Her again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas nodded proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[She rewarded me for accompanying you this long.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion sighed. \"I see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he waved a hand. \"Alright, enough about that. Explain the God Physique thing already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas immediately pointed at him accusingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You know, most people would ask more questions about me first.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stared at him blankly. \"No need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged. \"I can already tell you won’t answer properly anyway, so why waste time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas looked genuinely offended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Come on, at least pretend to be curious.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion sighed heavily. \"Atlas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get on with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas clicked his tongue dramatically before floating off Garion’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Fine, fine.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hovered in front of Garion with his tiny arms crossed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Let’s start with a simple explanation first.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion leaned back slightly against nothingness and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your Unique Physique... is actually something very close to a prototype God Physique.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion immediately raised an eyebrow. \"Prototype?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Or a weakened version. Either works.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas pointed toward Garion’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your body hasn’t fully reached the level of a true God Physique yet, but its structure already resembles one.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked down at himself briefly. \"So basically, I accidentally created an early version of it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Pretty much.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas let out a small sigh before continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Honestly, even she was shocked.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked up immediately. \"That mysterious god again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Even she didn’t expect someone from a lower world to successfully create a path like this.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion scratched his cheek and laughed lightly. \"Hahaha... maybe I’m just lucky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas stared at him for a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yeah. Extremely lucky.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned smugly. \"I knew it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Don’t get too full of yourself.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly floated around Garion while speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your hypothesis about the Unique Physique wasn’t wrong.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crossed his arms. \"The idea that the body itself could evolve beyond normal cultivation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Exactly.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas snapped his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, countless projections appeared around them: different races, civilizations, and worlds flashing one after another like fragments of history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked. \"They already tried this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Of course.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas looked almost annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do you seriously think you’re the only smart person in the universe?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged casually. \"Maybe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas stared at him in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[...Your confidence is honestly annoying sometimes.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion burst out laughing. \"Hahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas sighed deeply before continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Many cosmic civilizations eventually realized that relying entirely on mana cores, spirit seas, or external energy had limitations.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Some tried evolving the body itself.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Some tried turning every cell into an energy source.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A third finger followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Some attempted to completely merge body and soul.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[And some even tried creating artificial divine vessels.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion listened quietly now, his expression more serious. \"But they failed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Most of them failed.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas pointed directly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Because understanding the theory and actually succeeding are two completely different things.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion narrowed his eyes slightly. \"So what made me different?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1034,"2026-06-06T11:12:31.184Z",1,"novelbin.me","98d022fbd3e8b05a2bc0b1815444fd35695e88d090bc0d3cf1ba93ef86d849c6","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-558","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-556",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
