Chapter 556: Super Limit Spiral Third Stage! The Power of Concept (35k Second Update)

The goddess opened her mouth and inhaled once more.

Golden specks of light emerged from within Bai Cangshu's body, and the next moment, they vanished into the goddess's mouth.

【You have lost A-rank Singularity *2】

Subsequently, though the goddess's massive right hand made no visible movement, Bai Cangshu felt a surging, overwhelming force, and his body seemed to lose all weight.

In an instant, he flew toward the sky.

Poof!

He seemed to crash through something; the White Jade Plaza and those clouds and mists quickly vanished, and endless pitch-black darkness enveloped him.

His breathing stalled, and he could not feel the existence of any air at all; the immense pressure differential inside and outside his body felt as if it were about to squeeze all his internal organs out.

But Bai Cangshu's robust physique quickly adjusted, his biological magnetic field resumed operation, and the power of 【Magnetic Field Rotation】 completely isolated that pressure differential.

The next moment, he raised his head; the illusory space of endless darkness seemed to wrap around him, and he focused his gaze, as if something existed at the end of the endless void.

But relying on the naked eye alone, it was impossible to see clearly.

The formless Xuanlili opened rapidly, Bai Cangshu's long black hair began to turn white, and that Xuanlili grew stronger and stronger.

He stared fixedly into the distance.

Precisely because there was no information of any kind around Bai Cangshu in this void, he discovered that his Super Limit Spiral was operating with unprecedented clarity and focus.

He felt that after the Xuanlili reached its limit, a silvery-white light appeared at the end of the void.

Bai Cangshu widened his eyes, and then, he saw clearly that within that silvery-white light, countless symbols seemed to flash and change.

He stared without blinking, the silvery-white light growing larger and clearer in his pupils.

Hum~

Within the pitch-black void, distorted Ripples radiated from behind Bai Cangshu's head, like a massive, invisible vortex beginning to churn behind him.

Bai Cangshu tilted his head back slightly, as if a stream of information had directly impacted and entered his brain.

A massive amount of information began to appear and explode in his mind, only to be expelled from his brain by that Xuanlili.

His pupils trembled continuously, and he felt his cerebral cortex, stimulated by the Magnetic Field Rotation, rapidly differentiating.

Beneath his skull, a sensation of itching actually appeared—even though there should be no sensory nerves in such a place, he began to truly perceive that special "sense"!

That was not an itch of the brain, but 【Information】, but 【Wisdom】!

The formless, illusory existence began to exert a materialized influence.

Poof!

Dark, slightly purplish blood broke through Bai Cangshu's nasal cavity and began to drip, but this level of injury was nothing to him.

He simply felt that special sense.

His entire spirit was abnormally active; in almost an instant, he discerned that the information stream was entirely composed of repetitive, cramped, and useless information.

It was likely some kind of high-level character symbol he could not understand, crudely pieced together.

Blood also began to flow from the corners of Bai Cangshu's eyes, and his long hair showed signs of falling out, but he felt his brain was in an excellent state, beginning to heat up.

In his eyes, those countless high-level symbols, like garbled code, began to reorganize and attempt to combine.

Hum!

A powerful suction force appeared, and the next moment, Bai Cangshu felt the world turn upside down and black and white swap; with just a single blink of his eyes, he had returned to the White Jade Plaza.

Bai Cangshu remained motionless; the number of remaining high-level symbols was becoming fewer and fewer, and their combination forms were becoming increasingly fixed.

The goddess's ruby-like eyes watched the Xuanlili extending like tentacles toward the surroundings behind this Reincarnator, and her gaze lowered slightly.

The white jade space seemed to tighten abruptly.

Poof!

Bai Cangshu fell from that state, the heat in his brain making his thoughts feel as if they had vanished for a moment before returning to normal.

【Talent · Super Limit Spiral (transcendenthelix) (Third Stage) (sss-) — A creation of Miracle, a spiral surpassing the ultimate, the Observer of Ten Thousand Things, an anomaly that cannot be fixed】

【Effect (Three Rotations): After activating Super Limit Spiral, the brain will forcibly lift all genetic restrictions, materialize information, and gain the ability to intervene in information, identifying, copying, and even reorganizing partial information; Note: Using this ability will drastically increase the load on the brain, causing various negative effects such as physical disintegration, brain death, brain necrosis, or brain damage depending on Constitution】

"Ugh~"

After Bai Cangshu's brain recovered, there was still a lingering sense of nausea—a nausea resulting from brain dizziness superimposed with various taste information.

It was as if that short period of Third Stage Spiral had caused his various senses and neural functions to disorder and necrose once.

Bai Cangshu's face twitched as if cramping, but what was ultimately revealed was a smile.

【You have touched the Concept · Empty】

Empty...

What those numerous high-level symbols ultimately combined into was the concept of 【Empty】.

It had no practical utility, nor did it have any effect.

But this very 【Empty】 contained the mystery that could render various high-level powers into useless waste.

Moreover, 【Concept】...

Bai Cangshu realized that he had touched a higher-dimensional power.

In the past, above the level of 【Energy】, Bai Cangshu only knew of the existence of 【Authority】, and high-level Reincarnators all mastered Authority in a certain domain.

In layman's terms, this was the priority of power in a certain domain, the degree of control over similar powers.

For example, if a Reincarnator with fire immunity resistance encountered a Reincarnator with fire attacks that ignored resistance, the collision of their abilities would raise the question of whose ability would actually take effect.

Usually, the space would use the description of 【Priority】 to explain it.

But actual combat is not a game; the essence of 【Priority】 is a mastery over the origin of power.

Whoever is closer to the essence of that power possesses a higher 【Priority】.

According to some people's theories, all abilities are factors dropping down from various 【Ladder】s; the more a Reincarnator can touch the factors at the higher reaches, the more they can gain control over other abilities on the same ladder.

This theory can be extrapolated to various ability systems.

And those who can climb from factors to the 【Ladder】, and walk to the extreme of that ability, stand at the pinnacle of 【Authority】.

In most senses, the limit of power controlled by the 【Gods】 in various worldviews lies here. The God of Wind completely controls the power of 【Wind】, and the God of Flame governs the power of flame.

Mortals cannot defeat them in the domain of the gods and must seek other methods.

This is 【Authority】.

And the 【Heart Light Soul Movement】 above it is recognized as the power of 【Humans】, the radiance unique to this highly unstable short-lived species.

At this moment, Bai Cangshu has touched another level of power—【Concept】!

That is power collapsed and combined directly from the 【Information】 level; in Bai Cangshu's view, it is far closer to the essence of 【Information】 than authority or energy.

"Lady Goddess, what kind of power is 【Concept】?"

The Goddess does not speak; she is not as talkative as Knight Girl, and merely pops up a new prompt in front of Bai Cangshu.

【Do you wish to spend A-rank Singularity *1 to upgrade Reincarnator Authority?】

Bai Cangshu exhales, expressionless, and "spends" it again. He had intended to upgrade his Reincarnator Authority anyway, to prepare for the upcoming Title Challenge Tournament.

To wear and use certain titles, 【Title-level】 authority is required.

The Goddess opens her mouth and inhales, and the 1 A-rank Singularity Bai Cangshu had remaining disappears.

Now, in his hands, only one S-rank Singularity remains, along with one B-rank and one of each rank below it.

【You have lost A-rank Singularity *1】

【Reincarnator Authority upgraded, current: Title-level Reincarnator - Evil Savior】

【Space stay time extended by an additional 8 hours】

【From now on, you will know the timing of mission deployment seven days in advance】

【From now on, you will have the qualification to compete for any title in the form of a Space Title Challenge Tournament (provided minimum conditions are met)】

【From now on, you will have the ability to exempt yourself from the anchoring and tracking abilities of those with 3-star authority and below; this ability only takes effect within the Space】

"The so-called 【Concept】 is naturally the collection of various authorities at the information level; it is the initial transformation from 【Information】 into actual power."

"The 【Power】 you wish to touch is precisely this, isn't it~"

The Goddess's voice drifts, and Bai Cangshu simultaneously gains a complete and clear understanding of the composition of the true power of the Infinite Dimensional Space.

Through the essence of the 【Observer】, various forms of power in the heavens and myriad worlds are observed and collapsed into various concepts, from which a series of authorities are born, further refined into various energies and abilities.

And when Reincarnators reverse-pursue this top-down evolutionary process, it is the 【Ladder】.

Reincarnators master various abilities to control energy, further pursue authority, and finally touch concepts; this process is the process of climbing the 【Ladder】!

Only one type of power wanders outside this system—Heart Light Soul Movement!

"As expected, the power of 【Heart】 is special..."

The harder something is to obtain, the more one craves it. Now that Bai Cangshu possesses the 【Magnetic Field Rotation】 power system, he will only crave the power of 【Heart】 even more!

Aside from the intensity of the Magnetic Field Rotation itself, 【Magnetic Field Rotation】 relies on the user's Spirit purity, and... 【Heart】 to propel it!

Surging hatred, frenzied battle intent, and... the love that can push Magnetic Field Rotation beyond its limits at any cost!

——

Infinite Dimensional Space, West District; this is a space with an atmosphere completely different from the East District.

Everywhere there are tall, robust, and voluptuous Avatars; there are also a small number of people who created Avatars imitating characters from Japanese manga, but due to aesthetic differences, the temperament of the Avatars always differs slightly.

The reinforcement tendencies of Reincarnators here are also slightly different.

Cao Qi, wearing flip-flops, does not attract the attention of others. Soon, he arrives at a stall, stall number 【A-01】.

It is a woman with fair skin and a high nose bridge; her pupils are pale blue, but the ends of her chestnut-colored long hair turn into a highly saturated, vivid hue.

The woman looks up, sees the person arriving, and reveals an apologetic smile.

"You came after all. It seems I've caused you trouble~"

Cao Qi looks at the woman and suddenly sighs.

"Although the traces of you triggering the Great Black Heaven Heart Light Soul Movement are not obvious, that guy Aizen likely anticipated you would make a move and appeared on purpose."

The woman nods, showing none of the Haki that suppresses the entire West District, instead acting like a young girl who has done something wrong, receiving criticism from an elder.

Seeing the performance of 【Flower Blooming at the End of the Road】, Cao Qi has vaguely confirmed the face of the card he drew.

Before the three of them scattered the 【Cards】, they each kept one. Those were the three most special cards; they did not show their faces, and within them hid trajectories that even the King of Fate could not determine.

"Whether he appears or not, the result will not change."

"A beast chasing power, once it has smelled the scent of Heart Light Soul Movement, is destined to evolve toward 【Human】."

"The arrogant Soul King thinks he stands in Heaven looking down upon his creations, but even a creator can be swallowed by the 【World Serpent】 Jörmungandr..."

"I trust that beast named 【Tao Baibai】 more than he does."

The smile in the woman's eyes is clear and peaceful. Precisely because she believes in the uniqueness of 【Humans】, she is not obsessed with the choice of killing Tao Baibai.

On the contrary, she is strengthening Tao Baibai, she is luring Tao Baibai, and she is, in this form... riding Tao Baibai!

The expression on Cao Qi's face gradually turns into a smile.

The other party's growth has far exceeded his expectations, whether in power, wisdom, or temperament.

Like a flawless Reincarnator, in Cao Qi's eyes, she completely surpasses other 【Supreme Beings】.

Even his old friend An Zhiyuan is likely no longer a match for this woman.

He suddenly laughs heartily and waves his hand to say goodbye.

"With that, I am at ease."

【Flower Blooming at the End of the Road】 lowers her head, sorrow flowing in her eyes.
