Chapter 459 Breaking and then standing up

……

"Hoo~

"Yu Liang let out a long breath, a smile of surviving a disaster appeared on his face.

"It's really thrilling!"

He looked back and couldn't help feeling a surge of regret in his heart.

He originally kept that page of dimensionality reduction scroll as a life-saving weapon, intending to use it in critical moments. He didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

"System brother, can you make me another one?"

Yu Liang asked the subsystem with a smile, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.

However, the subsystem ignored him, as if it had never heard his request.

"Ugh!"

Yu Liang sighed, looked up and around, trying to figure out where he had run to.

All I saw in front of me was a towering black mountain range, covered with strange thorn trees. Above it was a faint blue gas, like a ribbon wrapped around the mountain range.

After what happened just now, Yu Liang now feels a little scared whenever he sees strange things, especially those that emit strange light.

Looking around, I found that the way forward was blocked by a mountain range that seemed to have no end.

Now the only way to go is to move forward or to turn back.

However, turning back was absolutely not an option for Yu Liang.

After exploring the surroundings, he found a way forward - there was a large canyon with steep cliffs in the middle of the mountains, which was formed by unknown means.

Standing in front of this dark canyon, Yu Liang's heart was filled with hesitation and uneasiness.

To be honest, he was really reluctant to enter this unknown place.

"Who said that if you don't go forward, you have to go backward?"

Yu Liang suddenly changed his mind and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I sat down directly, thinking: Since I can't retreat and can't move forward, why can't I just stay where I am?

At this moment, Yu Liang really felt like a smart guy.

"Practice, practice. This war between the liches must be just a small-scale clash, not a big decisive battle. It will subside after some time, and then I will leave here."

He decided to just stay where he was. After all, sometimes using stillness to overcome movement was a good strategy.

-

Life migrates, constantly evolving and reshaping its form.

Those bacteria are independent living organisms when they act individually, but when they act in groups, they form a larger living organism.

This hierarchy and collectivism of life allowed Yu Liang to see the diversity and possibilities of life forms.

He believes that these fungi are a particularly good material and are worth studying carefully.

So he began to try to integrate this hierarchy and collectivism of life into his own practice.

He imagined his body to be a group made up of countless tiny life forms. Each cell was an independent life, but together they formed a larger life form - himself.

He began to try to reshape his own form through evolution, so that every cell would be full of vitality and strength, while at the same time being able to coordinate and work together to face the outside world.

During this process, Yu Liang felt unprecedented pain and struggle, but fortunately his will was strong enough.

Only by experiencing the transition and reshaping of life can one reach a higher level and possess greater power.

So, he kept evolving and reshaping...

While cultivation is in progress.

Suddenly, due to Yu Liang's scattered consciousness, slackened will, and slight deviation in the control of his body, an imperceptible error occurred during the remodeling process. This error was small and hidden, but like the flapping of a butterfly's wings, it triggered a storm.

The internal structure of Yu Liang's physical form began to collapse. This collapse was not a local damage, but a disintegration of the entire structure, like a carefully constructed sand castle that gradually lost its shape under the scouring of the tide.

"Oh no!" Yu Liang exclaimed in his heart, and he immediately realized the urgency of the situation.

He knew very well that with his own abilities, he could not reverse the complete collapse of his physical structure.

So he hurriedly sent a distress signal to the subsystem.

"Come and help me!" he called out anxiously, but the subsystem seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep and there was no response at all.

"Didn't you hear? It's crashed again!" Yu Liang's voice was filled with panic and helplessness.

He tried everything, but the subsystem remained silent.

"It's over, it's over. It's all over now."

Yu Liang's heart was filled with despair. He could only watch his body collapse bit by bit, as if a piece of carefully carved jade stone shattered into pieces in an instant.

However, in the abyss of despair, Yu Liang did not give up completely.

He firmly believed that the main body would not give up on him easily, and the silence of the subsystem might mean that there was still a glimmer of hope, but he had not discovered it yet.

"Insight, open!"

Yu Liang quickly mobilized the system's insight ability and began to repeatedly explore himself.

At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind: destroy and then rebuild.

However, the destruction had already been done, but how to establish it again? Yu Liang fell into deep confusion.

At this moment, an inexplicable courage suddenly surged from Yu Liang's heart.

A desperate idea popped up in his mind: since he couldn't think of a way to survive, he might as well go all the way!
He no longer tried to maintain the stability of his body, but instead put all his energy into making it collapse more rapidly.

This is an extreme way of self-rescue and also an ultimate challenge to life.

Yu Liang knew that he was using his life as a bet, making an unknown gamble. But he also understood that only in this way could he find a ray of hope in a desperate situation.

At this moment, Yu Liang's body began to break apart rapidly like dust blown up by a strong wind, and gradually dissipated into the void. However, his will did not weaken because of this, but became more resolute.

"Come harder!"

Shouting in his heart, Yu Liang now threw not only his body, but also his consciousness and soul into this unknown change without reservation.

Just when Yu Liang was about to reach the limit of his will, a magnificent picture of the universe and the starry sky suddenly emerged in his mind.

The subsystem finally took action at this moment.

He seemed to see his consciousness floating in the universe and turning into an insignificant speck of dust.

For endless years, he wandered aimlessly until he was attracted by a huge meteorite.

As more and more cosmic dust and meteorites were attracted, a wonderful process occurred - the collapse phenomenon.

Under the influence of gravity, these substances in the universe continue to condense and collapse, and eventually form a new cosmic body.

Collapse, collapse, condense...collapse again, condense again!

The outside world is a vast universe of stars.

Isn’t it the same within ourselves?

This process kept echoing in Yu Liang's mind, and he suddenly realized the true meaning of life and the source of power.

He suddenly burst out, gathering all his strength and will, simulating the process of celestial collapse.

He felt his strength was constantly increasing, and his body was gradually becoming more solid and powerful. It was as if he was really experiencing a collapse of the starry sky, gathering endless star power into his body.

During this process, Yu Liang's body seemed to have become a microcosm of the universe, with every bit of strength concentrated to the extreme.

He felt unprecedented pressure and pain, but his will was as firm and indomitable as the stars.

It keeps collapsing and condensing, collapsing again and condensing again...as if it is engaging in a silent battle with the power of the universe.

His body became smaller and smaller, but his strength became stronger and stronger, as if he had transcended the constraints of the body and reached a whole new realm.
