Chapter 192 Global Strengthening!
Chapter 192 Global Strengthening!
A memory that does not belong to Earth itself.
That was... from the "Pioneers".
It is an extremely blurry fragment of information, almost unrecognizable due to the erosion of 3.7 billion years.
He could only capture a few fleeting, key moments:
A super civilization composed of countless enormous, indescribable "beings of light".
Their figures can easily traverse an entire galaxy, and their will can distort spacetime.
They existed when the universe was at its youngest, when it was still in a state of chaos.
Then, they disappeared.
It's not about destruction, it's not about war.
Instead, they actively "left" this universe.
Before leaving, they sowed the "seeds of the world" on countless primitive planets with the potential to give rise to intelligent life.
That is both a legacy and a hope.
Su Chen vaguely understood the "pioneers'" intentions.
They hoped that later civilizations would be able to utilize the Seed of the World.
To evolve their home planet from an ordinary resource planet into a true "living world".
This gives them the ability to protect themselves in a perilous universe.
The Starsea Council maintains "highest level of vigilance" over all the relics of the pioneers.
They even went so far as to enact stringent laws for this purpose, and the reason is quite simple.
Because... the power of the pioneers far surpasses that of the council.
Parliament fears this power.
Just as Su Chen's consciousness was immersed in these cosmic secrets...
Above the Earth's surface, a "spiritual tide" triggered by the awakening of the Seed of the World has swept across the globe.
An unprecedented, extremely pure tide of psionic energy erupted from the direction of the Earth's core.
Like a silent spring rain, it covered every corner of the earth.
The influence of this spiritual current on ordinary people is subtle and gradual.
Many people simply feel that they suddenly become exceptionally energetic, clear-headed, and full of vitality.
Some minor ailments that had bothered me for years even disappeared without me even noticing.
Their physical abilities are being gently transformed and enhanced by the spiritual tide.
But for the awakened ones, the impact of this spiritual tide is earth-shattering.
Exclamations of surprise echoed from survivor bases around the world.
"My God! I broke through! I'd been stuck at the peak of C-rank for a whole year, and just now, I suddenly jumped to B-rank!"
"Me too! I feel like my superpower has become...more than twice as strong!"
"What's going on? There seems to be something new in the air..."
Awakened individuals worldwide experienced varying degrees of "ability leaps" within just a few hours.
A B-level Awakener easily broke through to A-level.
The A-level Awakened Ones, who were already at the top of the pyramid, felt as if they had touched a brand new door—the door to S-level.
Among them, the most dramatic change was in Shen Mo in the Spark Lab.
The moment the spiritual energy surged into his body, the young man, covered in oil, let out a painful roar.
He was enveloped in a blinding gray light.
His "metal manipulation" ability, which was originally only D-level, began to evolve in an unbelievable way under the crazy baptism of the spiritual tide.
From D-level to C-level, B-level, A-level... Finally, with a crisp sound like shattering glass, his superpower jumped directly to S-level!
When the light faded, Shen Mo stared blankly at his hands.
He felt like the whole world had changed.
He can no longer merely "manipulate" metal. He can "understand" everything.
In his eyes, any mechanical creation becomes an incredibly clear three-dimensional blueprint composed of countless parts and energy circuits.
He can even conjure up entirely new, non-existent mechanical blueprints out of thin air in his own mind.
Then... using his superpowers, he instantly turned these ideas into reality.
His superpower evolved from "metal manipulation" into a completely new and unprecedented concept—"the ingenuity of all things".
The third effect of the Spirit Tide is the most unexpected.
The surviving, mutated beasts on Earth that survived the apocalypse.
Under the influence of the spiritual tide, large-scale "evolution" also began to occur.
But this evolution did not make them more ferocious or bloodthirsty.
Instead, they become wiser.
An unbelievable scene has appeared in surveillance footage from many human bases.
Some high-level mutated beasts, whose eyes originally held only ferocity and hunger, actually showed a glimmer of... spirituality.
They no longer indiscriminately attack all living things as before, but instead exhibit a clear sense of territoriality and group order.
In the waters near the East China Sea base, the "Deep Sea Overlord" mutated beast that had once given Zhao Gang a major headache actually appeared on its own within the base's warning range.
But it did not attack; it simply remained stationary far away on the sea.
With those enormous eyes, they gazed curiously, even with a hint of awe, at the brightly lit human base.
Zhao Gang and Long Lao stood on the command tower, staring at the images transmitted back on the screen, speechless with shock.
Old Master Long recalled what Su Chen had said at the "will meeting".
"Xiao Su once said that he wanted to make the Earth evolve... Could it be... that all life on Earth is evolving along with it?"
No one could answer him.
The source of all these changes, Su Chen's integration process, is still ongoing.
For seven days and seven nights in total.
At dawn on the seventh day, as the first rays of sunlight illuminated the sea, Su Chen's consciousness finally emerged slowly from that endless ocean of information.
He "woke up".
Su Chen "woke up".
But he did not open his eyes, because he no longer had "eyes".
He experienced a completely new way of being, one that could not be described in any language.
He is still Su Chen.
His memories, his emotions, his will—that slightly cunning soul who loved watching the barrage of comments—everything is still there.
But at the same time, it is also Earth.
He could feel every current in the North Atlantic, every weight of the Himalayas, and every gust of wind blowing from Siberia to the Pacific Ocean.
His consciousness was completely integrated with the entire network of laws governing the Earth.
He no longer "controls" the Earth, but has "become" the core of the Earth's consciousness.
Just as the human brain is to the body, he is the "brain" of this planet.
The Seed of the World has completed the first stage of awakening.
The laws governing the Earth have undergone a fundamental change.
It is no longer a passive, habitable planet that can only be slaughtered by others.
Rather, it is a "living planet" that possesses self-awareness (through Su Chen) and is able to actively mobilize its own power.
