151: Chapter 151 Awakening Boundaries

At this moment, Ye Nanxing was already standing quietly in the core area of the spirit mine.

She did not speak, nor did she make any unnecessary movements.

She simply placed her palm against the surging source of the spirit stone vein.

Those gold-blue spirit stones, as if drawn by some invisible force, detached from the mineral layer one by one and quietly disappeared into her palm.

Like natural breathing, one spirit stone after another quietly faded, evaporated, and merged into the invisible space around her.

As soon as the energy of the spirit stones entered, the space immediately underwent a change.

First was the spirit spring.

This spring, having been used twice for the space traversal ability, was already nearly dry.

But now—

The spring water began to "rise" back up.

Bit by bit, strand by strand, it was as if an underground source had been opened; the water level rose visibly to the naked eye, eventually even overflowing the spring mouth and beginning to drip along the stone edges.

The color of the spring water also changed from light blue to clear and bright, faintly shimmering with a layer of golden light.

Next was that old stone.

It had always been dim and lusterless before, merely the "anchor stone" marked by Ye Nanxing.

At this moment, it suddenly "lit up"!

New lines appeared on the stone surface, like some kind of energy circuit, faintly flickering as if it, too, had been activated.

Looking again at the plants by the spring that were originally just for "decoration"—

Their branches and leaves quietly shot up, the color of the leaves deepened, and even the air gained a hint of faint spiritual energy.

"...Are the grasses starting to mutate too?" Ye Nanxing was shocked. "This isn't a space upgrade, you're cultivating an ecosystem, aren't you?"

And the most intuitive change was the overall size of the space.

Ye Nanxing's original space—

Was already as large as a small town, divided into a spirit spring area, a warehouse area, and a small training area.

But now—

As spirit stones were continuously swallowed in, the entire space seemed to have truly "grown."

The edges of the town area began to blur and then slowly extended; hills rose, lakes appeared, and in the distance, there was even a faint tree line within the mist.

It was no longer a closed storage grid.

Instead, it was a small world that had truly begun to "breathe."

And Ye Nanxing also felt her own changes during this absorption process.

Her range of perception had expanded.

She could easily perceive the state of every inch of the space, feel the spring water surging, feel the spiritual energy shuttling between the grass leaves, and could even simulate the structural map of the space in her mind.

It was no longer just "using the space."

It was beginning to truly "master the space."

Her mental power became stronger, her control more precise, and she even began to have a more subtle grasp of the outside world.

She could feel that a certain spirit stone had not yet been completely refined, and she could also feel which area was automatically restructuring.

Just as everyone was still shocked by her "mining speed"—

Ye Nanxing's figure suddenly underwent a change.

It was not a transformation, nor was it rising into the air,

But—her aura began to transcend the scope of human understanding.

The air seemed to produce fine ripples around her, like transparent water currents moving against the wind.

The ores were no longer being "sucked" in by her,

But were actively approaching her one by one, spontaneously deconstructing, melting, and disappearing.

It was as if this mineral vein was subconsciously submitting to her.

Zhao Wei's pupils constricted slightly, and he couldn't help but mutter in a low voice:

"...This is not ordinary absorption."

"This is... synchronization."

"Her relationship with this space... is no longer just 'using' it."

"She seems to... have become one with it."

Zhou Cheng narrowed his eyes and silently perceived the flow of the surrounding aura.

Then he shook his head, his voice hoarse:

"No."

"She is not using the space."

"She now—is the space."

Chu Yunting stood not far away, his face grave, his expression rarely showing some hesitation.

He looked at Ye Nanxing, as if looking at a human who was becoming a "conceptual existence."

He had experienced the brass dream and had also seen the afterimages of the original entity.

But at this moment, he suddenly understood:

—The path Ye Nanxing was taking was not the one an "ability user" should take.

She was building "a world of her own."

Zhang Tianjin forced himself to swallow and muttered in a low voice: "...I suddenly feel a bit afraid to talk back to her again."

Sun Hao took a deep breath, his gaze rarely carrying a sense of awe.

"She didn't just defeat the brass."

"She has completely appropriated the 'structure left by the gods'."

"She... is building a god."

And Shang Xu, her face finally changed completely.

She had always thought Ye Nanxing was just a survivor with a bit more strength, high combat power, some abilities, perhaps strong, but ultimately still a "human."

But now, for the first time, an uncontrollable intuition rose in her heart:

—That is not a human.

At least, not a "peer" she could compare herself to.

She opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say a word.

It wasn't that she wasn't convinced.

It was that she was completely convinced.

A group of top ability users, base leaders, and survivor elites just stood quietly not far away, watching the figure standing in the center of the mineral vein, as if the whole world were revolving around her.

No one spoke again.

No one dared to disturb her.

Ye Nanxing stood at the position where the last spirit stone disintegrated; the moment she opened her eyes, the surrounding air quietly congealed.

She stood quietly, not moving.

But all the team members who approached within ten meters of her felt it at the same instant—a sense of suffocation.

It was not fear, but an innate oppression from a "superior existence."

Just like the sky before a thunderstorm,

Or the collapse of airflow high above,

Clearly there was no movement, but human instinct had already perceived:

Danger.

Ye Nanxing lowered her eyes and gently clenched her fingertips.

The space ability within her body was running at an unprecedented speed; those dormant structures were activated, and it seemed as if a "living star map" had been added to the depths of her consciousness.

She whispered to herself:

"...If I face that brass badge again."

"I will not retreat even half a step."

"It wants to construct a dream?"

"Then I will tear open the bottom of the dream."

Just as she was calmly perceiving this "rebirth," inside the interrogation room.

Chu Yunting was originally still questioning Luo Dechuan about his final trump card, but he always felt something was wrong.

He did not believe this madman would really just admit defeat so easily.

But Luo Dechuan just leaned back against the chair, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his face full of exhaustion and madness:

"You... really think I can control that thing?"

"Ridiculous."

"I am merely... one of its 'totems'."

"It... knows how to choose people."

"How could you mortals understand this price."

"You're lying," Chu Yunting said coldly.

"What else are you hiding?"

He raised his hand to signal the prison guards to push in the final mental reading device.

But—

Ye Nanxing suddenly appeared in the hall.

No one saw how she appeared.

She arrived in an instant.

She glanced at Luo Dechuan, her eyes waveless, but suddenly spoke:

"—Don't bother."

"I'll ask."

After speaking, she spread out her mental power, directly crushing into Luo Dechuan's mental core with high-dimensional suppression!

No warm-up!

No warning!

The entire interrogation hall was overturned as if by an invisible giant beast, space twisting like waves!
