313: The Essence of Awakening, New Traits: Mastering the Five Elements

The journey was silent.

Upon flying over Chengdu, the stellar energy that Dudu had fed back after devouring millions of units of energy had been completely digested by Yang Dian.

Observing his Soul from within, Yang Dian noticed that his entire Soul body's head had begun to coolly emit starlight.

If it weren't for the fact that it still resembled a head, taking a picture and posting it online, claiming it was a sea of stars, would likely be believed by some.

"After another ten or so times, my entire Soul body should be filled with starlight, right?"

"I wonder what changes will occur then."

"A Stellar Physique?"

Muttering to himself, Yang Dian scanned the surroundings, then flew further to The West, landing on a secluded cliff edge of Xiling Snow Mountain.

Casually digging a hole in the cliff with his Qi and blood, Yang Dian sat cross-legged directly inside, preparing to Cultivate.

Before Cultivating, he first put a Heaven and Earth Wonder into his mouth, intending to slowly digest it, then entered the Unity of Man and Nature state, closing his eyes and visualizing Heaven and Earth, as if to achieve Unity of Man and Nature.

As Yang Dian entered the Cultivation state, vast energy suddenly transformed into endless misty clouds, surging out from where his Soul resided.

Observing the heart of Heaven externally, observing his own body internally.

When his consciousness entered his Physical Body, Yang Dian discovered that most of the misty clouds, formed from energy, had integrated into his cells.

"Strengthening the Physique, replenishing Qi and blood, eternal youth, vibrant vitality..."

In short.

As the Heaven and Man Unity Skill rapidly improved with the aid of energy, Yang Dian's Physical Body's Physique began to strengthen quickly, his Qi and blood also experienced explosive growth, his lifespan greatly increased, and even the speed of injury recovery became immeasurably faster.

In addition, after the misty clouds representing 'energy' were absorbed by his Physical Body, five faint light figures appeared within Yang Dian's Physical Body, constantly moving in and out of his cells.

Seeing those five light figures, which were extremely similar to the Battle Intent Runes inherited from the Alien Planet, Yang Dian had a flash of insight and thought of four words.

"Rule Runes?"

Everything had an explanation.

The process of Awakening is a world surge, a favor from the rules.

After the Qi Revival, Heaven and Earth became active.

Awakening is when, in a certain moment, a creature aligns with the 'brainwave' of Heaven and Earth.

Thus, without the creature even knowing it, his Physical Body instinctively remembered that 'brainwave,' which is the Rule Rune.

And so, there was Awakening and mutation.

Rule Runes either guide organ mutation, causing creatures to grow extraordinary organs, relying on them to unleash extraordinary power.

Or they brand Rule Runes onto cells, causing the entire Physical Body to evolve, allowing it to store and release extraordinary power.

The former are mostly weaker.

For example, Lao Mo, the first to be placed on the dissection table, only grew a fire sac that stored flames, with limited combat ability.

The latter are mostly stronger.

For example, those City-Level Awakened can all achieve elementalization.

In short, Awakening is the acquisition of extraordinary power in a short period, which other species would need countless years of effort to master.

Taking the eel as an example.

Eels evolved for a full two hundred million years to develop electrocytes and gain the ability to generate electricity.

Awakening is equivalent to allowing humans, animals, or plants to acquire abilities in a short period that eels took two hundred million years to evolve.

How incredible is that?

If not for the favor of the rules, how could such a miracle occur?

And rules are something indescribable, something that can only be understood intuitively, not articulated.

Under normal circumstances, existing scientific methods cannot observe their existence.

Yang Dian activated the Unity of Man and Nature state, with the Heaven and Man Unity, Star Illumination of Constant Stillness, and Listening to Heavenly Sounds three traits, plus the instant evaporation of nearly 2.5 million energy to enhance his own strength, only then could he vaguely observe its existence.

As for the Battle Intent Rune filled with endless anger that Professor Shen Fei observed, it was entirely a gift from the Human Race of the Alien Planet.

In a trance, Yang Dian extended his right hand, and six ethereal lights swirled and rotated in his palm.

"I seem to be gradually understanding everything..."

The moon rose and set, and the star rivers flowed endlessly.

As nearly 2.5 million energy units were absorbed by his Physical Body, Yang Dian also vaguely opened his eyes.

Six streams of light flickered in the depths of his pupils before returning to the ethereal, and Yang Dian stepped out towards the cliff.

Thereafter, the cliff moved slightly, and a rock grew a three-foot stone path out of thin air, extending to Yang Dian's feet.

He took one step, and the rock grew three feet.

It wasn't until Yang Dian took a hundred steps and stopped that the rock, which had grown a 100-meter path out of thin air, ceased growing.

Feeling the Physical Body strength within him, as if he could punch through the earth's veins, the ocean-like Qi and blood power roaring within his Physical Body, and the magnetic force that could invert the world with a single thought, Yang Dian exhaled deeply.

"The fourth trait of the new Heaven and Man Unity Skill."

"Mastery of the Five Elements..."
