The Path to Godhood Begins from the Otherworld

For example, during an earthquake, in order to rescue her child who was buried in the rubble, the seemingly soft mother could burst out with strength with her bare hands, allowing her to lift hundreds of kilograms of cement slabs.

……

There is great terror between life and death, so people who have experienced life and death have often lit up the "glory of humanity."

However, as a miraculous flower that grows under the brilliance of human nature, even if the inherent ability is awakened, its flowering period is quite short. Especially after the great terror between life and death, many survivors often find it difficult to replicate their past feats.

Because after the external threat is lifted, it is difficult for them to continue to maintain the "courage to face death."

Therefore, the vast majority of people who have ignited the brilliance of humanity and awakened their inherent abilities are unaware of the miracle they possess. As time passes, they often inadvertently lose the patience to keep their brilliance shining.

After all, mankind’s greatest enemy is often not death or fate, but oneself.

The process of human beings overcoming their desires is the process of facing their own human weaknesses again and again.

There are many great people in human history, but there are only a handful of them who can truly be called "perfect people."

This is because once humans become "perfect beings", their humanity as humans will not be far from completely disappearing.

Luo Shu guessed that if he had not encountered the World Tree Seed by chance after traveling through time, he estimated that even if he still awakened his inherent abilities today, without the reminder of the World Tree Terminal, he would only think that his will had become firmer in the face of the temptation of beauty.

Sometimes, the importance of intelligence is reflected here.

At this moment, he finally realized the true power of the World Tree Terminal, the first form of the World Tree Seed. That is, the World Tree Terminal can publicly visualize intelligence information that is closely related to itself.

Just imagine, if in real life, during the learning process, we have a data panel like a game reminder, constantly reminding you how much reading can improve your grades, then would you still be tired of studying?

Many people think that reality is a shitty game. This is because for us in reality, not only do we not understand our own information, but even the information we get from the outside world is difficult to distinguish the value and authenticity.

In short, what Luo Shu was truly happy about at this moment was not the acquisition of 3000 World Origin Points, nor the discovery that he had awakened the inherent ability [Iron Will (EX)].

Instead, he discovered that perhaps he could grow by relying on his own will to act.

Luo Shu agrees with the saying, "If you rely on mountains, the mountains will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away."

In one's life, the only one you can rely on is yourself.

Luo Shu certainly understood that he was lucky to accidentally obtain the "World Tree Seed" after traveling through time.

But he had a strong intuition at this moment, that is, if he blindly abused the powerful power brought to him by the "World Tree Seed" in the future, and indulged in it too much without restraint, he would regret it sooner or later.

This intuition became even stronger after the awakening of the inherent ability [Iron Will (EX)].

Strong enough to trigger his unease.

"It seems that I must be more cautious in treating every ability I gain."

It has to be said that men who are in the sage time often have a very obvious improvement in their IQ when thinking.

Although Luo Shu was not sure about the consequences of his previous lack of determination, he had his own considerations on how to control the powerful power given to him by the "World Tree Seed" in the future.

To control the World Tree Seed, rather than relying on the World Tree Seed.

Luo Shu gently stroked his heart, as if he heard his inner self giving him such a warning.

What a truly strong person possesses is often not extraordinary strength, but the iron will to control strength!

Under the sound of water dripping from the shower head.

Luo Shu discovered that as his mind became clear and his heart calmed, he seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat, and even the whispers of Kurumizaka Ruri and others in the big bathtub.

Is this the physical manifestation of an iron will controlling nature?

My five senses have been enhanced?

Then, he subconsciously focused his attention on his hands, and then on a whim, he activated the [Mysterious Limit] he had exchanged before.

The reason why Luo Shu did this was because after he discovered that his five senses had been enhanced, the rumored sixth sense, that is, the vague intuition that gave him a warning just now, gave him an impulse.

This experience is very unique.

Luo Shu could only attribute this to the effect of awakening his inherent ability, [Iron Will (EX)].

Why does it feel a bit similar to the intuition of my king in Type-Moon?

Regardless of whether this sudden impulse of his came from this "intuition" reminder, he chose to trust his own judgment.

Then, as [Mysterious Transcendence] was activated by Luo Shu, he could clearly feel that there seemed to be some tiny energy particles in the air.

"This is?"

Some strange floating objects emitting faint light appeared in front of Luo Shu's eyes.

Almost subconsciously, he tried to touch these luminous particles floating in the air with his own thoughts.

Then, Luo Shu instinctively had a strong urge to combine this other luminous particle with the water in the air.

The emergence of this strong impulse did not trigger the defense mechanism of [Iron Will (EX)].

This made Luo Shu completely relieved.

He decided to follow the guidance of a strong instinctive impulse deep in his heart.

After all, he only needs to understand that he is not mentally disturbed by some external factors, and if he acts according to his own heart, it will be difficult for problems to arise.

Only by believing in your own heart and learning when to follow your instincts and when to suppress your instinctive impulses can you become a truly strong person.

As a result, Luo Shu's consciousness received a reminder from the World Tree Terminal.

After [Mysterious Over Limit] was activated, his unexpected actions guided by his instincts allowed him to unexpectedly master a mysterious skill immediately after [Mysterious Over Limit] took effect.

Wow, I accidentally saved a lot of world origin points.

Chapter 24: Surprise

This mysterious technique is called [Ether Coding].

[Ether Code]: The free ether in the universe is the root of mystery and the most fundamental mysterious energy. This mysterious art can be strengthened as the master grows.

Luo Shu discovered that the initial rating of the [Ether Code] he mastered had reached D-level. He estimated that this was the result of the perfect combination of [Natural Flesh (C)] and [Iron Will (EX)].

Otherwise it would be difficult to explain how as soon as he activated [Mystery Approaching] and initially unlocked the mysterious shackles of his body, he directly mastered a mysterious skill.

While thinking, he browsed the description of the mysterious art of [Ether Coding].

When the proficiency of this skill reaches C level, one will be able to weave various spells through ether, no longer needing the help of external media, and can counter all mysterious spells that require media such as electromagnetic waves to perform spells.

When skill proficiency reaches level B, one can interfere with local reality, invade dreams, and perform fantasy transformations on technological products;

When the skill proficiency reaches level A, it will be possible to open space-time rifts leading to other derivative worlds where life exists, and read, decipher and record the world coordinates corresponding to the derivative worlds connected to the rifts.

"Can [Ether Code] not only be used to cast magic, but also to become a top-notch cyber hacker?"

A trace of thought flashed in Luo Shu's eyes, and he lowered his head to play with the round ice ball in his hand, which was formed by the combination of ether drawn by [Ether Coding (D)] and the water vapor in the shower room.

Afterwards, he simply named the technique obtained from this first experiment "Icing Technique".

"Well, the mental energy consumed will increase as the etheric energy drawn increases."

Luo Shu made ice balls of several sizes in succession, feeling the consumption of his mental energy and the loss of physical strength in his body, and came to a preliminary estimate.

"With my current physical fitness and mental reserves, I can probably produce hundreds of round ice balls the size of ping-pong balls continuously. At this stage, the endurance seems to be insufficient. What if I switch the ice balls into thin, dagger-shaped ice slices..."

Luo Shu quickly began his first magical experiment.

He crushed the ice ball in his hand and reshaped it into a palm-sized ice dagger, which was unexpectedly smooth.

Moreover, Luo Shu discovered that the production of light and thin ice flakes consumed nearly half the ether consumed by condensing the ice ball, so naturally the mental and physical energy required to cast the spell was also reduced accordingly.

The advantage of camphor over ice balls is that it is concealed and sharp, but its disadvantages are that its application range is limited and camphor is more susceptible to dry environments.

However, Luo Shu estimated that if the ice shards of his dagger could directly hit the target's vital parts within a range of fifty meters, it would not be difficult to kill the target without him being seen.

After all, borneol contains very little water vapor. Once released, it will quickly melt or even evaporate if the ambient temperature is high.

So, after the borneol kills the target and melts, unless there is someone who masters the same mysterious skills as himself appearing at the crime scene, it is difficult to detect the various abnormalities caused by a small amount of ether with modern technology.

Overall, Luo Shu was very satisfied with the first technique he developed.

He made a brief summary of the first technique he developed in his mind, and immediately recorded the information into the World Tree Terminal.

The Ice Spell, initially rated D-level, uses etheric coding to adjust the temperature differences in the real environment, thereby temporarily changing the form of water. However, it cannot be separated from water as a medium for the spell, which is its only flaw: it will not work well in hot and dry environments.

However, if the water in the human body can also be utilized, then this disadvantage may no longer exist?

So, the ice technique is essentially a type of technique for special attacks against people.

Of course, this doesn't mean that possessing the mysterious skill of [Ether Code] means Luo Shu no longer needs to exchange for other abilities. In fact, the greatest advantage of [Fantasy Exchange] is that it allows him to exchange for other fantasy creations to strengthen and compensate for his shortcomings before even improving his proficiency in [Ether Code]. Luo Shu briefly reviewed the relevant information about the Ice Formation Technique, then connected his consciousness to the World Tree Terminal and recorded it completely in the "Technique Atlas."

This "formula diagram" is a derivative function that emerged after he mastered the mysterious art of "Ether Coding".

Luo Shu began to estimate how long it would take to train his Ether Code proficiency to C-level, and soon came up with a preliminary estimate.

He estimated that if he persisted in training for an hour every day for about a month, he could raise his proficiency in the skill of [Ether Coding] to C-level. However, this must be based on the fact that each time he practiced the technique, he could ensure that the ether, mental strength, and physical energy consumed by the created technique products reached a sufficiently high standard threshold.

If he wanted to save mental and physical energy during training, he estimated that the training effect would be unlikely to be ideal.

However, this makes sense when you think about it.

After all, once you get used to high-consumption spell training, it will be relatively easier to reduce the spell consumption from a certain perspective.

Because the premise for a magician to control the output of a spell is that your own maximum output limit is already high enough.

There is only backward compatibility in the operation, but there is no such thing as upward compatibility.

After figuring out the general operating principle of [Ether Coding (D)], he put away the ice dagger in his hand, turned off the shower head, and walked out of the bathroom.

"Don't soak for too long, you three."

Before leaving the bathroom, Luo Shu did not forget to remind the three women. Without waiting for their answer, he put on his bathrobe and returned to his bedroom.

Rather than exploring the mysterious skill called [Ether Coding (D)] brought to him by activating [Mysterious Presence], he felt that it was more important to find a way to change the wet bedding and sheets first.

Looking at the two fallen red flowers on the wet bedding and sheets, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

Luo Shu finally did not choose to throw away the two fallen red sheets, but instead processed them with ice magic and put them aside.

He thought he should ask Setsuna Sasaki and Reina Hamasaki for their opinions on what to do with these sheets.

As for Kurumizaka Ruri, she had her first time in the living room, so she didn't leave any memories.

When Luo Shu was changing the sheets and bedding, he couldn't help but think that if Kurumizaka Ruri knew that she was the only one who didn't leave a remembrance of her virginity, he wondered if she would be angry.

Forget it, at worst I can just coax her when the time comes.

After all, it was Kurumizaka Ruri herself who chose the living room as the venue for her first life reunion...

After Luo Shu changed the bedding and sheets, the three girls came out of their bath.

They were no longer wearing the chiffon pajamas that were limited to nighttime styles. Instead, they were wearing pajamas of different but equally cute styles. Seeing Luo Shu thoughtfully changing the sheets and bedding, she said happily, "Shu Jun, thank you for your hard work."

Hearing this, Luo Shu turned around and looked at the three women.

He found that Kurumizaka Ruri's pajamas had cat ears, Sasaki Setsuna's pajamas were in the style of a giant panda, and Hamasaki Reina chose the very famous Kumamon Bear in Japan.

Wait, Kumamon pajamas?

When Luo Shu noticed that Reina Hamasaki was wearing Kumamon pajamas, he felt a little surprised, so he pretended to be curious and asked, "Does Reina like Kumamon very much?"

The reason why Luo Shu was surprised was naturally because this derivative world seemed to be not only deeply connected with the works of the inner world, but also seemed to be connected with the world on the other side of the earth.

Perhaps this derivative world can find the world coordinates back to Earth?

Well, anyway, when the proficiency of [Ether Coding] is raised to A-level, the space-time rift can be opened to determine which world has the space-time node that intersects with this derivative world.

The so-called space-time rift is essentially a space-time node.

Based on the information provided by the World Tree Terminal, Luo Shu learned that the birth of a space-time node requires certain conditions to be met. The simplest way to open a space-time node is to plunder enough world origin points.

Chapter 25: Beautiful Night and Morning Service

Hamasaki Reina had no idea that Luo Shu was daydreaming at the moment. She was pleasantly surprised when she heard this, and immediately turned around. Then, with a naive smile, she waved at him and asked, "Yes, I love Kumamon. What do you think of Shu-kun? Isn't my pajamas cute?"

"The pajamas you guys picked are all very cute."

Luo Shu's eyes flickered with a hint of contemplation, but his expression remained calm. He offered direct praise and then suggested, "Speaking of Kumamon, why don't we take some time out this summer to visit Kumamoto Prefecture?"

Kurumizaka Ruri and others naturally would not have thought how upset Luo Shu was when he saw Kumamon. What they cared more about was that Luo Shu actually took the initiative to invite him out again, and they were going out together during the summer vacation. They couldn't help but feel happy.

"Okay, I'll arrange the itinerary then." Kurumizaka Ruri took the responsibility immediately. Then she asked curiously, "But, does Shu-kun also know Kumamon?"

"Yeah." Luo Shu nodded. "Of course I know. Kumamon is very famous on the Chinese internet."

"Speaking of China, Ah Shu, would you take us to China to see the giant pandas if there's a chance?" Sasaki Setsuna preferred China's national treasure, the giant panda, to Kumamon. She walked up to Luo Shu, hugged his arm, and said coquettishly, "This is my lifelong request, Ou Nei Gai! ~"
