I, Lord of Prayer

After staring at the chaotic oil painting for a minute, Zhou Chen began to see psychedelic colors.

The oil painting in his eyes stretched and deformed, and in a daze, it turned into a slowly rotating colorful vortex. The colorful and dazzling blocks of color flashed rapidly like the RGB light pollution lights in a nightclub, emitting a strong attraction, as if trying to suck in the soul.

Gradually, the vibrant colors transformed into a deep black, surging across the canvas.

fear!

In an instant, like a powder keg being detonated, all the big and small things that had once terrified Zhou Chen exploded in his mind, magnified many times under the power of the Chaotic Oil Painting, and converged into a raging black tide that swept across the land.

Snakes, spiders, cockroaches, under the bed, darkness, injections, exams, falling from a height, horror stories, imagined ghosts... and the greatest fear deep in human genes—death!

Countless feelings of fear transformed into a battering ram, assaulting Zhou Chen's mental will, making his face as pale as paper, his body covered in cold sweat, his heart pounding uncontrollably, and his adrenaline soaring rapidly.

Outside the isolation room, the emotional fluctuation values ​​on the monitoring instruments were surging, about to reach the critical point of awakening.

Zhou Chen's heart rate and blood pressure were like a supercar with the accelerator floored, soaring all the way up, repeatedly teetering on the edge of sudden death.

All the experimenters instinctively held their breath. Zhou Chen was now in a real danger zone, and no one knew what would happen next.

Was the experiment failed due to psychological trauma, or was it caused by being overwhelmed by extreme emotions and losing control?

Or perhaps they were scared to death by fear magnified many times over?

Or perhaps... a successful awakening?

Amidst the onslaught of fear, Zhou Chen gritted his teeth and endured the pain, maintaining absolute clarity and rationality. 🍔💛 ❻9𝕤𝐡𝔲𝔵.𝕔ᵒ𝓂 🐺💲

After making the wish for safe awakening, the outcome of the experiment was already set in stone!

When the fear reached an indescribable and ineffable extreme, amidst the intense emotional turmoil, Zhou Chen's consciousness seemed to break through some kind of shackle, instantly plunging into a profound void.

In the deathly, cold darkness, he opened his eyes—

I saw the light.

Endless light expanded violently in silence, like the Big Bang at the birth of the universe, and the desolate world was greeted by bright daylight.

The stars, impacted by the explosion, transformed into a massive meteor shower, streaking across the spiritual world with their brilliance, like scattered silver fragments falling onto a deep black curtain, adorning the night sky with countless stars.

The magnificent stars revolve and converge to form a beautiful and vast galaxy, dazzling and breathtaking.

The once empty spiritual world is now filled with shining stars.

"Is this why the first stage of the Ascended is named 'Stars'...?"

Zhou Chen gazed up at the stars with awe and excitement, unable to recover for a long time.

He soon discovered the anomaly: more than half of his mental world was still a cold, desolate, dark void—according to the book, after awakening, the entire mental world should be enveloped by stars.

  

Zhou Chen wasn't surprised by this; each star represented the spiritual essence of the ascended being, equivalent to a projection of their soul.

Now that he is missing half of his soul, his spiritual world will naturally be affected.

He observed carefully for a long time and found that some of the stars were dimming slowly. If he was not mistaken, this should be the phenomenon of soul depletion.

"Let's see if I can make a wish to stabilize my soul's state..." Zhou Chen's consciousness "looked" at the wishing bottle.

Previously, he could only feel the wishing bottle in his mind, but now that he has become an Ascended Being and can directly sense his soul, he has discovered that its essence is that the wishing bottle transforms into source matter and merges with his soul, which is simply a soul binding.

Obtaining a forbidden object out of the blue seems like a great opportunity, but the origin of the wishing bottle is mysterious, and the lack of understanding of the unknown will inevitably make people wary and defensive.

But now his survival depends on the wishing bottle, and his concerns have long been overshadowed by his strong will to live.

In order to survive, who cares about anything else?

Suppressing his nervousness, anticipation, and unease, Zhou Chen looked at the thirteen stardust grains remaining in the wishing bottle and solemnly made a wish—

"I wish that my soul would stop decaying."

With a thought, ten specks of stardust in the wishing bottle suddenly lit up, slowly flew out of the bottle, and merged into his spiritual world.

In an instant, Zhou Chen clearly felt the feedback from his soul.

—The failure has stopped.

He subconsciously looked into the spiritual world and found that the stars there had stopped dimming, indicating that the deadly soul decay had indeed stopped.

Zhou Chen was first stunned, then overjoyed.

Although his soul is still incomplete and the aftereffects have not been cured, at least now he no longer has to live in constant fear, counting how much longer he can live.

That feeling of helplessness and waiting to die is really unbearable.

Only by experiencing the despair of being on the verge of death can one truly understand how wonderful it is to be alive.

Zhou Chen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling incredibly fortunate. After calming down, he focused his attention on his extraordinary abilities.

This is another piece of good news: he successfully awakened and gained extraordinary and incredibly cool abilities, becoming the Ascended Being that countless people dream of from now on.

At the moment of awakening, extraordinary abilities become instincts originating from the soul, and one naturally understands how to manipulate and unleash them.

Thus, accompanied by his will—

The flames ignited from the depths of the soul.

……

Outside the isolation room, all eyes were fixed on Zhou Chen, watching him gradually calm down from his extreme fear, seemingly freeing himself from the influence of the chaotic oil painting.

"The fluctuations in the source matter have changed!"

One of the researchers exclaimed in surprise, and everyone looked at the monitoring instrument and found that the source mass fluctuation value was rising rapidly.

"Mental state is normal, mood is normal, all physical indicators are normal, but heart rate and blood pressure are still a bit high and haven't come down yet..."

"He succeeded!"

"Quickly, get the testing equipment ready! You there, you record the data! Old Sun, cover the painting up!"

Outside, chaos erupted. With a beep, someone pressed a button and opened the alloy door to the isolation room.

In the isolation room.

Zhou Chen raised his palm, and pale flames burst forth from his palm, burning fiercely.

He stared at his palm, the flickering pale firelight reflected in his pupils, and an uncontrollable smile spread across his lips.

That is his extraordinary ability.

simply……

Extremely stylish!

At the same time, six more stardust appeared in the wishing bottle that had only three stardust left, and they were even larger than the stardust obtained before.

Zhou Chen was slightly taken aback, but then realized what was happening and turned to look. He saw that the stardust came from the group of researchers.

Their wish is for me to successfully awaken?

Why is this stardust a little bigger than the stardust I got before?

Was it because I became an Ascended One, or... was the desire in the hearts of these researchers even stronger?

After much thought, Zhou Chen felt that the latter was more likely:

The stronger your desire to fulfill your wish, the more wish points you will receive.
