It started when a bloody rain was about to fall.

[Spatial Awareness]: Passive ability.

Centered on itself, within a radius of fifty meters, it can perceive the precise spatial position, three-dimensional shape, trajectory, and speed of all objects without regard to obstacles.

Extremely low energy consumption, can be maintained for a long time. Current level: Beginner (radius 50 meters).

In his previous life, Lin Ye only barely awakened this ability in the later stages. Its range was only ten meters, and it consumed a great deal of energy. He would feel dizzy if he used it for more than three minutes each time.

Now, the fifty-meter range is just the starting point, and the consumption is almost negligible.

[Spatial Anchoring]: Active capability.

Within the sensing range, any coordinate point can be set, and the user can instantly move to that point within three seconds.

Each use consumes 0.5 units of space stability, with a 15-second cooldown.

Current level: Beginner (maximum distance 50 meters).

The ability that was only unlocked at the very last moment of my previous life.

If he could possess this ability earlier than he does now, Lin Ye could live at least a few more years—those inevitable sieges and inescapable pursuits would no longer be fatal.

【Spatial Folding】: Active ability.

It causes visual distortion and physical path confusion in local spaces, with a maximum impact range of five meters.

Consumes 3 units of stability per second. Current level: Beginner (range 5 meters).

The ability was triggered by chance during the final desperate battle in his previous life, which allowed him to launch a counterattack and kill those who surrounded and killed him.

[Spatial Cutting]: Active Ability.

It creates microscopic spatial fissures, causing molecular-level fracture damage to the objects it contacts.

It consumes 1-5 units of stability, with the consumption increasing the distance. It is currently unavailable due to insufficient total stability.

Current level: Locked.

In my previous life, I had only heard of legends and had never seen anyone truly master this ability.

It is said that whoever masters it can silently slice through any object—including the human body—from a kilometer away.

[Spatial Exile]: The ultimate forbidden ability.

Consume all stability and supernatural energy to banish oneself or the target to unknown dimensional coordinates.

A survival rate below 0.03% may trigger a time paradox. This was the skill Lin Ye used in his previous life to escape his inevitable death, which resulted in him being reborn back to before the apocalypse.

Current level: Locked (Extremely dangerous).

The price of the past life was death and rebirth—to be precise, it was death that brought the opportunity for rebirth.

Lin Ye won that 0.03% chance.

But will I be so lucky next time?

"stability……"

Lin Ye frowned, carefully sensing the core concept that had appeared. At this moment, Lin Ye couldn't help but recall that in the final critical moment of his previous life, it was also because of the appearance of this stability concept that he was able to unlock skills one after another, which was the key to his ability to turn defeat into victory in the critical moment.

Moreover, he could clearly sense that his spatial abilities were not unlimited.

Each time you store items, maintain the space, or use an active skill, you will consume a type of "energy" or "resource" called "space stability".

Current stability total: 100 units (base value after fragment enhancement).

Current consumption: 12 units (basic consumption to maintain the existence of 1200 cubic meters of space).

Available balance: 88 units.

Once the stability reaches zero, the space will collapse, the source of the superpower will be damaged, at best becoming a cripple, at worst dying directly—consciousness dissipates, the physical body remains intact, but can never wake up again.

"We need to find ways to increase the overall stability and quickly restore stability."

Lin Ye pondered calmly.

Those numbers leaped, combined, and generated new possibilities in his mind—this was the way of thinking that the apocalypse had taught him:

Always calculate, always anticipate, and always prepare contingency plans before the worst-case scenario arrives.

"Those powerful awakened beings in the past all enhanced their abilities by absorbing rare and precious materials containing 'source essence'—"

Source energy ores, mutated biological crystal cores, special plant fruits... but those things will only appear in large quantities after the blood rain falls and the source matter seeps into the world with the rainwater.

Then Lin Ye's gaze fell on that mysterious fragment again.

Perhaps this fragment that accompanied his rebirth contains a high concentration of primordial matter? Or perhaps it has the ability to draw some unknown primordial energy from the unknown depths of the void?

Lin Ye tried to probe the core of the fragments more deeply and meticulously.

Everything went smoothly at first.

Perception penetrated the smooth, cool surface of the fragments and entered the interior—a deeper darkness.

Countless tiny points of light floated in the darkness, arranged in a complex array, like an ancient star map, or some kind of incomprehensible three-dimensional rune array.

The light spots are roughly divided into seven levels.

The outermost layer has thirty-six points of light, which are currently emitting a faint but stable gray light.

Although the light was faint, it carried an ancient and solemn rhythm, as if telling a story about "origins".

But just as Lin Ye was trying to decipher the meaning of those points of light—

A terrifying suction force erupted from the core of the fragment without warning!

Then Lin Ye's consciousness was frantically pulled, as if his entire soul was being sucked into the fragment!

That force was so powerful, so irresistible, like the gravity of a black hole, like the passage of time, like the arrival of death—

It is an ultimate and absolute "force" that no life can resist.

At that moment, Lin Ye suddenly recalled a similar scene from the last moment of his previous life. However, back then, the fragments he threw into the air were absorbing everything around them, while this time the target was himself. Without time to think, Lin Ye struggled desperately.

My mental energy is rapidly depleting at a rate of 1% per second!

If things continue like this, in a hundred seconds at most, Lin Ye will suffer from mental exhaustion and brain death—becoming a vegetable, lying in this rented room forever, until the landlord discovers him, until he is sent to some unknown shelter, until he is completely forgotten by this world.

"Damn it! Let go!"

Lin Ye roared inwardly, while simultaneously activating his newly recovered spatial abilities to try and resist the suction force.

Spatial forces and the suction of the fragments clashed violently within Lin Ye's body.

The excruciating pain spread from the depths of his brain to every nerve ending.

The pain was indescribable—not a cut, not a burn, but a more fundamental, existential pain of being "torn apart."

It was as if Lin Ye's soul was being torn in two, one half belonging to himself, and the other half being devoured by the fragments.

Blood began to seep from Lin Ye's seven orifices.

Warm liquid gushed from his nostrils, flowed down his philtrum into his mouth, and a salty, fishy taste spread.

Liquid was also flowing out of her ear canal, running down her neck and wetting her collar.

My eyes felt sore and swollen, my vision blurred, and the whole world turned into a scarlet fog.

His vision went black, his ears were ringing, and his temples were throbbing wildly, each throbbing feeling like someone was hitting the inside of his skull with a hammer.

Just before Lin Ye's consciousness was about to completely collapse—

The fragments suddenly stopped absorbing.

No, it's not a stop, it's a "satisfaction".

It seemed to have drawn energy of a specific frequency or nature from Lin Ye's spiritual power, completing a hidden "condition" or "verification".

It's like a key finally being inserted into a lock, like a password finally being cracked, like a dusty door finally being pushed open with its first crack.

Then, the feeding back began.

Cool, pure, and extremely high-level energy surged out from the unknown depths of the fragmented void, flowing back into Lin Ye's brain along the path of his consciousness.

Wherever that energy passes, damaged nerves are rapidly repaired—like parched land being soaked by spring rain, like withered plants being irrigated by sweet dew.

Every cell was cheering, jumping for joy, and greedily absorbing this mysterious life force from an unknown origin.

At this moment, Lin Ye's fatigue vanished completely.

Thinking speed, reaction speed, memory ability, and perceptual acuity have all significantly improved by a level!

Lin Ye felt as if his brain had been replaced with a more advanced processor—

The previous stuttering, lag, and blurriness have all disappeared, replaced by a smooth, precise, and clear flow of thought.

Lin Ye felt that at this moment he could think about ten things at the same time without getting confused, remember every detail without forgetting, and complete calculations that previously took ten seconds in one second.
