Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

However, she couldn't enter that state anymore. She opened her eyes helplessly, thinking that she was probably just lucky to be able to enter that state before.

However, she can start practicing from the state of internal vision. The authorities are not taking any action for the time being, so she has plenty of time to practice.

Xu Jiawei closed her eyes again and entered a state of introspection. These two states are quite similar, and one can gradually progress from the state of introspection.

Xu Jiawei went into seclusion for three days. During these three days, she could only observe her surroundings and the composition of energy through internal vision. This process was extremely boring. She couldn't hear anything and could only stare blankly at the energy.

Just three hours ago, while Xu Jiawei was in a state of introspection and daydreaming, a strange feeling suddenly overwhelmed her, and she suddenly realized that the time had come.

She found that feeling, and Xu Jiawei immediately moved closer to that feeling, once again entering that mysterious realm.

She saw the fundamental laws of this world, just like the natural laws of oxygen on Earth and water flowing downhill. This world also follows natural laws, but there is one difference from Earth: the natural laws here can be changed by energy. For example, a water mage can make the water of a waterfall flow backward or fly into the sky with the help of magic.

Everything in the world is made of energy, which explains why the Dark God wanted to devour the world—simply to absorb energy. The energy of an entire planet is a great source of nourishment.

Xu Jiawei absorbed knowledge from the world like a sponge, trying to understand its rules. In just a few hours, she learned a lot and gained a deeper understanding of the world.

Now, she finally saw the fragments of her divine essence deep within her spiritual world. They were scattered in various corners of her spiritual world, like stars, flickering on and off. But the fragments were so far apart, how could she put them together?

Xu Jiawei felt this was a huge undertaking. She sighed and resignedly tried to fuse the fragments together, but when she tried to guide one fragment, that fragment showed signs of collapsing.

Startled, Xu Jiawei immediately stopped what she was doing. She hadn't expected the fragment to be so fragile, and she dared not touch it.

Xu Jiawei recalled the words of the Mushroom God. It seemed that she still needed to gain a deeper understanding of this world and a more profound control over the rules in this state before she could attempt to condense a divine spark.

After all, her condensation of the divine spark was on a difficult mode. She didn't know what would happen if others condensed their divine sparks using pills, whether the pills would protect the divine spark fragments, or whether they would act as a binding agent. It was just a pity that Xu Jiawei couldn't use them.

Three hours later, Xu Jiawei opened her eyes. Understanding the rules was a very tedious thing, but of course, understanding the rules also had its benefits. Although her strength had not changed much, her mental power had become more robust, and her control over her mental power had become more refined.

Xu Jiawei saw hope. If she continued to practice, her mental strength would become stronger and stronger, and her control would become more and more precise. At that time, it would be much easier to attract the fragments of the divine spark.

Once she reaches a certain level of control over mental power, even small fragments of divine power will be no problem.

Xu Jiawei opened the chat interface, which contained an official message that there would be a negotiation event with the nobles tomorrow, and Xu Jiawei could come and participate if she had time.

Because of the increased prestige of the player community, the nobles are no longer so arrogant and have begun to take the player community seriously. They no longer need Xu Jiawei to support them, so the official team has no requirement for her to go, and she can choose whether or not to go.

However, Xu Jiawei felt that the officials said that because they wanted her to practice more.

"Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock?" Xu Jiawei checked the time. There were still nine hours left. She could go and take a look. If those nobles caused trouble, her presence could serve as a deterrent.

After replying to the message, Xu Jiawei set her alarm and continued trying to enter that state. She needed to learn how to skillfully enter that state. Right now, she could only enter it by luck. She hadn't even figured out the method yet. She only knew that when the feeling came, she could enter it. If she didn't feel it, she couldn't enter it even after sitting for days.

She wants to find the pattern and re-enter that state, so that she can see the world without relying on her eyes. This state is actually like the "mind's eye" in Buddhism, seeing the world through the mind's eye.

What she needed to do was open her mind's eye. She wanted to consult a few Buddhist masters, but now there were only a few players left. These traditions had been broken off after several natural disasters, and many things had been lost. Now players were only thinking about how to survive, and no one would inherit these traditions.

She suddenly thought of the novels she used to read, especially the interstellar novels. Without exception, the background was always some kind of upheaval that caused humanity to be wiped out. Xu Jiawei felt something was wrong back then. No matter how big the upheaval was, it was impossible that nothing was left behind.

But now she understands. Just look at the players now. Basically, a lot of things have been lost, and there are very few players left. Moreover, those inherited books and such are still on Earth. What's the difference between this and a complete break in the lineage?

I estimate that in a few years, players won't even be able to recite the poems anymore; they really won't remember anything then.

If only she could return to Earth and rediscover their human culture, Xu Jiawei made up her mind. Even if Earth no longer wanted them, she would still go back and bring humanity's precious heritage to their new home.

However, that's something to think about after you become a god; it's too early to think about it now.

Finding a Buddhist master would be too difficult, so how about a Taoist master? She's not much different from meditating right now; in fact, she's meditating. Xu Jiawei kept this guess in mind, thinking that she could help them connect these traditional cultures with the laws governing the world, and perhaps create a unique cultivation method.

The treasures and wealth left by their ancestors are not entirely useless.

For a full eight and a half hours, Xu Jiawei couldn't get into that state of mind. It wasn't until her alarm rang that she regretfully opened her eyes. Oh well, she should just go to the meeting. She hoped those nobles wouldn't cause any trouble.

Xu Jiawei arrived at the conference room early, where the base leaders were directing their subordinates to make arrangements for the upcoming meeting.

Upon seeing Xu Jiawei, the base leader smiled and said, "Oh, you're here so early. I've arranged a good spot for you."

Xu Jiawei glanced at the time; it was already 8:35. There couldn't possibly be no one here. So she asked, "Where is everyone else? Why is there no one here?" No, she should say there was no one else besides the staff.
