175: Chapter 175 Six hundred times the density of the sun's core?! I'm not human anymore!

The torrential rain continued to pour.

But Su Ming could no longer hear it.

The System panel hovering over his retina had completely changed its appearance.

It was no longer a golden, glittering martial arts style,

there were no flashy skill icons,

and none of that gamified Realm classification.

In its place was a silver-blue holographic interface.

Cold, pure, and exuding the texture of cosmic physics.

It looked like a high-dimensional instrument analyzing data from a newborn celestial body.

[Space: 100,000 cubic meters (+)]

Su Ming's gaze instantly locked onto the core data at the very top.

[True Mass: 1,102 tons (+)]

Tons?!

The unit had changed directly from "kg" to "tons"?!

Before, when he looked at the panel, it was three hundred thousand kilograms, eight hundred thousand kilograms...

The numbers were so large they felt abstract, making him feel like an oversized heavy-duty truck.

Now that the unit had switched to "tons", a suffocating weight capable of crushing everything instantly washed over him.

One thousand one hundred and two tons.

An adult African elephant weighed at most five tons.

"Inside my 1.8-meter-tall frame... there are two hundred and twenty African elephants stuffed in?!"

Su Ming swallowed hard and looked down at the ground beneath his feet.

He had no doubt that if he turned off [Mass Concealment], he wouldn't even need to stomp.

Just by standing there, he could crash straight through this unfinished thirty-story building from the top floor down to the foundation.

This was no longer human.

This was a walking natural disaster in human skin.

His gaze slowly drifted downward.

[Talent: Mass Origin Evolution (Unique)]

The SSS rating was gone.

The starter village tutorial was over; the official version had begun.

He continued to look down.

[Core Density: 8.94×10⁷ kg/m³ (≈ 600 times the Sun's core)]

[Average Body Density: 1.3×10⁷ kg/m³ (≈ 90 times the Sun's core)]

"Hiss..."

Su Ming sucked in a breath of cold air.

As a Blue Star transmigrator who had received nine years of compulsory education and thoroughly read A Brief History of Time,

he understood the meaning of these numbers better than anyone else in this world.

The Sun's core.

A gravitational furnace that had burned for 4.6 billion years, initiating hydrogen fusion and acting as the ultimate source of energy that illuminated the entire solar System.

Yet the core matter density of the newborn Star Core Embryo in his chest was six hundred times that of the Sun's core.

His average body density was ninety times that of the Sun's core.

He was now literally a "human-shaped celestial body" composed of electron-degenerate matter.

Su Ming grinned, letting out a silent laugh.

"My nonsense about achieving sanctification of the Physical Body back then wasn't wrong... More than just sanctification, I'm about to become a world of my own."

He looked at his palm.

His subcutaneous tissue was no longer muscle fibers, but layers of degenerate electron lattices compressed to the absolute limit.

With this Physical Body density, let alone a Tier 7 transformed Scorpion King, even if an eighth-tier Emperor-rank Source Beast stood before him and bit his neck, its teeth would shatter to pieces.

Compared to him, the classic web novel tropes of vajra invincibility or health regeneration upon taking damage were incredibly weak.

This was absolute defense in the physical sense.

His gaze finally landed on the two lines: [Star Core Status: Newborn] and [Evolution Progress: 11%].

Evolution progress was easy to understand.

It had replaced the previous "Promotion Progress" terminology.

Su Ming quickly calculated in his mind...

If 1,102 tons was 11%, then the threshold for 100% would be ten thousand tons.

From hundreds of tons to thousands of tons, and then to tens of thousands of tons.

"This is forcing me to go all the way down the path of celestial evolution."

Far from being afraid, Su Ming tensed up with excitement.

Nine tiers of martial arts? Too small-minded.

Once I evolve to 100%... I'm afraid the ceiling of this world won't be able to hold me.

Su Ming did not immediately test his power. Instead, he closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and sensed the invisible force field around his body.

The previous [Void Gravity Field] was more like a skill that required active activation.

It had an effect when turned on and disappeared when turned off; it was essentially a cheat tool provided to him by the System.

But now, he didn't need to activate anything.

He could clearly "see" that the firefly-like speck of silver-blue light in the center of his chest was pulsing steadily and powerfully.

With every beat, a ripple of invisible gravitational waves naturally diffused from his body, enveloping his surroundings.

This force field was firmly bound to his mass and density.

It was no longer a skill.

Rather, it was an inherent attribute of this degenerate body,

just like how normal humans naturally have body temperature—it was a part of his Origin.

Before, he was "borrowing gravity through the System's skills."

Now, his own mass and density were already high enough to warp spacetime.

He himself was a moving source of gravity.

The old face of Newton from his past life's physics textbooks flashed through his mind.

"Mass is the container of gravity, and density is the engine of gravity!"

Su Ming growled in his heart, "If the mass is large enough and the density is high enough, spacetime must spontaneously bend for me!"

"Today, I have officially set foot on the path of wielding the fundamental forces of the Universe."

"Gravity, electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force... Gravity has already been conquered by me. Will the remaining three be far behind?"

After understanding the root source of gravity, looking back at the words [Gravitational Precision: Centimeter-level] took on a completely different meaning.

This did not mean his gravitational field could only affect a distance of one or two meters.

Rather, the minimum unit of precision for controlling gravity was a centimeter...

He could precisely apply gravity to a one-centimeter-square area without it diffusing or causing collateral damage.

Compared to the previous [Void Gravity Field], which covered several meters as soon as it was activated,

suppressing everything indiscriminately like throwing a basin of water outward—plenty of brute force but lacking in precision—

the current centimeter-level precision was like using tweezers to pick things up; the accuracy and control were on a completely different level.

"Centimeter-level is decent," Su Ming casually joked.

"In the future, when it reaches micrometer or nanometer levels, can I directly perform brainstem surgery on someone from a distance?"

Su Ming felt a sudden urge to play around.

How could he not try out such a divine skill?

Squatting in the ruins, he slowly extended an index finger, pointing it at a rusty, discarded screw at his feet.

He took a deep breath.

He tentatively communicated with the star core in his chest,

and projected a wisp of suction so weak it was almost negligible,

precisely targeting a one-centimeter area around the screw.

Buzz!

The mud-covered screw trembled strangely and then slowly floated up.

It wobbled and spun about two centimeters away from Su Ming's fingertip, looking just like a clumsy magic trick.

But Su Ming watched with great interest.

"Interesting..."

He wanted to see if he could use this trick to manipulate objects from a distance,

pulling that discarded rebar stuck in the concrete block in the distance to use as a hidden weapon.

The moment the thought arose, he abruptly expanded the range of the gravitational field from a single point on his fingertip to a hundred meters.

He attempted to use an invisible hand of gravity to grab the rebar dozens of meters away.

However...

Boom!

Controlling such a massive gravitational field for the first time, and lacking the support of a refined skill framework, the power instantly went out of control.

The distant rebar did not budge in the slightest.

Instead, the soil, broken bricks, accumulated water, plastic bags, and rotten leaves within a few meters of his feet...

all the debris was forcibly sucked toward him in an instant.

"Holy crap!"

Su Ming only had time to let out a cry of alarm before he was completely plastered into a pathetic mud doll.

Rainwater mixed with mud dripped down his pants legs.

He looked down at his disheveled state, his lips twitching wildly.

"F*ck (a type of plant)..."

He finally understood.

This crude, normal-state gravity could at best be used as a high-powered vacuum cleaner,

or as a magic trick to fool naive young girls.

It was merely the "basic permission" that came with this body. Doing small physics experiments like telekinesis or bending light was fine.

If he really wanted to use it in a fight, he still had to rely on proper sequence skills exchanged from the System Shop.

Su Ming glanced at his balance of just over one hundred thousand mass points on the panel,

already sensing that they were about to say goodbye to him.

However, he was in no hurry to check the shop.

His gaze slowly drifted upward, finally locking onto the three lines of core sequences that had quietly upgraded.

[Core Sequence: Mass Amplification Lv3, Mass Reconstruction Lv3, Mass Devouring Lv3]

All of them... Lv3!
