Siheyuan: At the beginning, I can integrate everything!

At the summit of Mount Tai, lies the Jade Emperor Peak.

The higher you go, the colder it gets; the fierce wind is like a series of invisible steel knives, scraping the bare rocks with a piercing whistling sound.

The once flat mountaintop is now a mess.

On the ground, there are several huge, bottomless cracks crisscrossing the surface.

In the center of these cracks, a broken black stone slab lay quietly.

The stone slab was made of an unknown material; it was entirely black and its surface was carved with complex and ancient dragon totems.

It lay there quietly, embedded in the soil.

Yet it exudes a terrifying pressure that makes one's soul tremble.

Wearing heavy special cold-weather gear, Chen Bing clung tightly to a boulder beside him with both hands, barely managing to avoid being blown away by the strong wind.

His once resolute face was now completely bloodless.

As a top-tier soldier, Chen Bing's perception of danger far surpasses that of ordinary people.

When he got less than ten meters away from the black stone slab, he felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand.

Even breathing became incredibly difficult.

"Huaimin... something's not right here."

Chen Bing gritted his teeth and shouted against the fierce wind, his voice filled with undisguised horror.

"All my electronic communication devices have stopped working! Even my mechanical watch has stopped recognizing me!"

"There's something strange about this stone!"

Zhang Huaimin was not wearing a winter coat.

He was still only wearing that thin black trench coat, the hem of which fluttered in the strong wind.

Hearing Chen Bing's shout, Zhang Huaimin did not turn around.

His deep, abyss-like eyes were fixed on the black dragon stone slab on the ground.

"It's normal for equipment to malfunction."

Zhang Huaimin's voice was calm, yet it clearly pierced through the gale and reached Chen Bing's ears.

"Because the energy contained in this stone does not belong to our three-dimensional physical world at all."

Zhang Huaimin strode forward, facing the terrifying pressure, and walked step by step to the stone slab.

He slowly squatted down.

She stretched out her fair, slender hand, untouched by the passage of time.

Without any hesitation, he pressed it directly onto the cold, rough black dragon stone slab.

"Buzz—"

The instant your fingertips touched the stone slab.

A sudden, turbulent wave surged in the depths of Zhang Huaimin's mind!

He sensed a terrifying energy, vast and ancient, seemingly spanning billions of years of cosmic history.

It is lurking inside this seemingly inconspicuous stone.

This energy level far exceeds the sum of all nuclear and quantum energy on Earth!

If we were to describe Earth's current most advanced technology as a small puddle...

The energy contained within this stone is like a bottomless ocean!

"Is this the key to a higher dimension?"

A fervent and domineering smile slowly curved the corners of Zhang Huaimin's mouth.

He had already reached the absolute pinnacle of technology and wealth on Earth, and the games of the mortal world had long since become utterly boring to him.

Now, this divine stone is his first step in breaking down the dimensional barrier and moving towards the myths of the heavens!

"system."

In his mind, Zhang Huaimin issued the command that was enough to change the course of the entire world.

"Immediately extract and fuse the 'Ancient Divine Stone Essence of the Mount Tai Altar'!"

[Ding! Ultra-high dimensional energy aggregate detected!]

[Forcibly analyzing the target material structure... Analysis successful!]

At this moment, even the mechanical sound of the system carried a faint, almost imperceptible tremor.

[WARNING! This divine stone possesses extremely vast energy; the fusion process will trigger an uncontrollable leakage of high-dimensional energy!]

[Has the fusion been confirmed?]

"confirm!"

Zhang Huaimin's eyes sharpened, without the slightest hesitation or retreat.

boom--!!!

The instant the command is issued.

Zhang Huaimin's right hand, which was pressed on the stone slab, suddenly burst out with an extremely dazzling purple light that could even burn one's soul!

This light was neither ordinary lightning nor the light of burning fire.

It is a pure and noble purple aura of the Great Dao!

"Snap! Snap!"

The seemingly indestructible black dragon stone slab was quickly covered with spiderweb-like cracks under the influence of this purple aura.

Followed by.

A torrent of purple energy, visible to the naked eye, resembled a bursting dam in a galaxy.

Following Zhang Huaimin's arm, it poured wildly into his limbs and bones!

Zhang Huaimin's body jolted violently.

He felt every cell in his body, every inch of his bone, being forcibly torn apart, reorganized, and sublimated by this ancient energy!

This is the pain and jubilation of transforming from carbon-based life to a higher-dimensional divine life form!

"roar--!"

Zhang Huaimin suddenly tilted his head back and let out a clear whistle that sounded unlike anything in human form.

This was accompanied by a long howl.

A dazzling purple beam of light, hundreds of meters in diameter, erupted directly from his body!

The purple light shot into the sky, like a peerless divine sword that could cleave the heavens and open the earth.

It instantly tore through the thick clouds atop Mount Tai!

It did not stop, but rather moved at a terrifying speed exceeding that of light.

It pierced through Earth's atmosphere and plunged deep into the vast universe!

This moment.

Horrifying changes have occurred throughout the entire land of China, and even in the skies of half of the Northern Hemisphere!

The once azure sky was instantly dyed a magnificent purple-gold.

Auspicious purple clouds are coming from the east!

Stretching for three thousand miles!

In the sky, the clouds churned, and faint celestial music and chanting echoed in the void, as if the entire world was trembling at the birth of this power!

Chen Bing was thrown away by the aftershock of the purple beam of light.

He crashed heavily onto a rock more than ten meters away, his chest heaving with blood and qi.

But he didn't care about the pain he was in.

He lay on the ground, his bloodshot eyes wide, staring intently at the purple light that pierced the heavens and earth.

"God...this is the true God descending to earth!"

Chen Bing muttered to himself, his rock-solid materialist beliefs shattered into nothingness at this moment.

His legs went weak, and he involuntarily knelt down heavily before Zhang Huaimin, who was bathed in purple light.

At this time.

Space agencies, observatories, and military monitoring centers around the world.

They were completely gripped by an apocalyptic panic!

NASA Deep Space Exploration Command Center, United States.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

The piercing red alarm lights flashed wildly, and the entire command center was in complete chaos.

The bureau chief stumbled and scrambled into the lobby, completely unaware that the coffee he was carrying had spilled all over him.

"What happened?! Was it a nuclear attack?!"

"Chief! It's not a nuclear weapon!"

A radar monitor pointed to the main screen in front of him, which had turned into a speck of static, his voice trembling with tears.

"Just now, a terrifying energy ray that is completely unanalyzable erupted from the direction of Mount Tai in China!"

"The frequency of this energy surpasses all our existing knowledge of physics!"

The monitor clutched his hair in despair.

"It not only blocks all radio signals on Earth."

"All our reconnaissance satellites deployed in low Earth orbit, the moment they came into contact with this purple light..."

"Complete overload! The main circuit board is completely burned out!"

"What?!"

The bureau chief was struck dumb; his legs went weak, and he collapsed into his chair.

Not just in the United States.

The Soviet space control center and the European Joint Astronomical Observatory.

In the same second, they all suffered a devastating blow.

Those optical and radio telescopes, costing billions of dollars, represent the most cutting-edge technology in humankind.

While trying to observe the purple light that shot out from Mount Tai.

All the lenses shattered, and all the receivers melted down!

At this moment, the world's astronomical monitoring systems became completely blind!

Modern technology, which humanity is proud of.

Faced with this grand and vast power of higher-dimensional mythology.

Like a paper toy, it is utterly vulnerable and ridiculously fragile.

"Sir...we've gone blind."

The NASA monitor slumped to the ground, his face pale, muttering desperately to himself.

"This isn't a power from Earth... What kind of monster has awakened...?"

The summit of Mount Tai.

The purple beam of light lasted for a full ten minutes before gradually beginning to recede.

The purple clouds that filled the sky receded like the tide.

The gale subsided, and a deathly stillness returned to the world.

Zhang Huaimin still stood on the edge of that deep pit.

The black dragon stone slab on the ground had completely turned into a pile of ashes, which were scattered by the wind.

He slowly lowered his raised right hand.

At this moment, Zhang Huaimin appeared to be unchanged in appearance.

But in his deep black eyes, there was a faint, shimmering purple-gold divine light, like the fading of stars.

With every gesture, he exuded a terrifying divine power that surpassed all things and caused the surrounding space to distort slightly.

"Is this the power of higher dimensions?"

Zhang Huaimin clenched his fist, feeling the immense power within him, a power capable of shaking the heavens and earth, enough to grasp the stars.

A satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

He finally shed his mortal form and embarked on the path to divinity.

Just then.

Chen Bing, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly seemed to see something extremely unbelievable.

He suddenly raised his head, his finger trembling as he pointed behind Zhang Huaimin.

"Huai...Huaimin...behind you..."

Zhang Huaimin was slightly taken aback, but did not turn around.

He had already sensed the strange phenomenon behind him by relying on his merged higher-dimensional divine sense.

Behind Zhang Huaimin.

In the gradually dissipating purple halo.

A towering, majestic, and imposing phantom suddenly materialized out of thin air!

The phantom figure wore a flat-topped crown and a purple-gold imperial robe.

His face was blurred, yet it exuded the aura of an unparalleled emperor who looked down upon all the heavens and worlds and suppressed countless galaxies throughout the ages!

The illusory image of the emperor hovered quietly behind Zhang Huaimin.

It was as if he were the sole ruler of this world.

however.

At the same time that Zhang Huaimin's imperial phantom appeared.

In the depths of the endless starry sky, countless light-years away from Earth.

In an ancient star field shrouded in deathly silence and darkness.

As the purple beam of light pierced through Earth's atmosphere, it rippled here like waves.

In the dark abyss.

Two terrifying eyes, as large as stars, burning with ghostly flames.

Suddenly, it slowly opened its eyes.

"Well……"

A deep roar, seemingly capable of shattering galaxies, echoed eerily in the vacuum of space.

It seems there is some enormous creature that has been sleeping for hundreds of millions of years.

Completely awakened by this purple aura.
