Chapter 441: Chapter 441: The Special Teleportation
The Far North had never suffered such a terrifying onslaught since its inception!
There were no resources here, only a teleportation array...
It wasn't worth the effort for the powerful to unleash their skills in bombardment.
Thus, in the face of Sterl's world-destroying Fission Divine Power, there was simply no way to stop it!
It exceeded the limits that this land could endure!
After the Far North fractured, the teleportation array was naturally engulfed by the destructive white light, its exquisitely intricate energy structure disappearing in an instant.
Next came the boiling seawater, forming a massive deep pit filled with evaporating gas waves, rapidly surging in all directions. Even in the high sky, above the Crystal Barrier Galaxy, Sterl could still see a gigantic void with his naked eye.
After a few seconds, the white light gradually subsided.
Sterl finally caught sight of the terrifying Frost Giant from before...
"Just as I thought."
He nodded; everything was as expected.
If earlier the Frost Giant had been extremely imposing, its massive form towering as if it could hold up the sky, now...
There was no difference.
At most, due to a temporary loss of balance, the giant had sunk into the void formed by the vaporized seawater, appearing a bit awkward...
Indeed, the Frost Giant was completely unharmed!
He emitted an extremely fine display of resisted attacks—
[block], [block], [block]...
"Just as I guessed."
Sterl had been calm just a second ago.
Then...
"What the hell is this thing?"
He couldn't help but voice his frustration.
Sterl had predicted that the abilities of the lower realm wouldn't harm the Frost Giant, but to find out that even after ascending to godhood and launching a full-force attack, it still came to nothing was extremely disheartening!
In the past, Sterl had never faced such humiliation.
Against any opponent, hadn't he always been able to one-shot them?
Others couldn't harm him at all!
Now, he had become the unfortunate one who couldn't hurt others but got taken down in a single hit.
Sterl rubbed his temples; thankfully, he had prepared in advance and had already teleported to the next continent. Otherwise, he might have exhausted his lives without being able to deal with this Frost Giant.
"Once I reach the new continent, even if the giant is extremely powerful, he won't be able to chase me down..."
"Wait, he won't actually follow me, will he?"
Sterl muttered, and then his expression turned grim.
He had just resurrected and was in a hurry, so he hadn't paid much attention to the changes in his body.
It was only now that he noticed a new BUFF he had acquired.

[Description: Having been subjected to the gaze of [data unreadable], he will relentlessly pursue your footsteps, delivering death to you.]
The buff itself had no damage potential; it merely formed a pale blue mark on Sterl's left chest, resembling a simple drawing of a giant.
It was quite well-drawn.
But Sterl had no time to appreciate such details.
He felt a bit troubled.
If the Frost Giant were to continuously hunt him, he currently had no effective response plan.
Unless he logged off to avoid disaster.
But the problem was that he needed to complete the legendary promotion ritual! Logging off meant a halt in his power growth...
He couldn't help but think about the impending calamity, the inexplicable distortion of the Crystal Barrier Galaxy...
Sterl had skills to allocate; he originally didn't need to rush to increase his strength, slowly developing until he reached the pinnacle, but the current situation was pressing!
Fortunately, the process of teleportation remained calm and peaceful.
Sterl's gaze only caught sight of the Frost Giant sinking into the swirling waters, and as the steam slowly dissipated, the bowl-shaped vortex pit gradually filled with flowing water.
The Frost Giant remained at the bottom of the water flow and did not emerge…
Through the sensing ability of the Holy Spirit Bloodline, Sterl discovered that the Frost Giant wasn't deliberately avoiding him; rather, the giant was clumsy and could only thrash around wildly in the vortex.
Though its strength was formidable, it was slightly outmatched by the vastness of the ocean. The Frost Giant's attacks and defenses, which operated on a certain set of rules, were utterly meaningless against the lifeless ocean.
Even though countless water currents were frozen, it didn't hinder the Frost Giant's explosive power; the more it struggled, the faster it sank.
In the end, all that remained was the sound of gigantic water cannons surging.
"It looks like I don't need to worry for a while," Sterl shook his head.
The reason he could observe the enemy while using the teleportation array was that the intercontinental teleportation relied on the folds of the Crystal Barrier Galaxy membrane. He had to wait for the fluctuations of the Crystal Barrier Galaxy; only when the folds appeared could he be teleported.
Before that, Sterl was in a special space.
After observing the Frost Giant, it seemed the folds had just appeared, and Sterl found himself suddenly transformed into a beam of light, rushing into the Crystal Barrier Galaxy!
Sterl felt himself compressed into a stream of information swirling rapidly...
"What is this?"
He was a bit puzzled. According to previously acquired information, when using the teleportation array in the Far North, even divine-level beings sensed a sudden loss of consciousness, only to open their eyes again at their destination.
How come he still retained consciousness on this end?
He vaguely realized...
Perhaps it was the effect of the Holy Spirit Bloodline?
But during this time, what could he possibly do?
Sterl felt somewhat speechless; the key was that he was compressed into a stream of informational consciousness, rendering him unable to do anything at all.
He could sense the pulse of the Crystal Barrier Galaxy membrane's folds, but this power was too advanced for him to analyze. After more than two hours had passed, Sterl's "expression"—no, he didn't have an expression now—anyway, his mindset began to change—
"Something's not right! This is bad!"
He felt himself moving through the membrane folds at an exceedingly slow pace, unable to sense how far he had traveled in a short time.
"What's going on?"
"Am I just supposed to wait here without losing consciousness?"
Sterl couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
He guessed that the teleportation array in the Far North surprisingly also involved the Law of Time.
The flow of time during the teleportation process was vastly different from the real-time flow outside.
Thanks to his Holy Spirit Bloodline, Sterl resisted the negative effects of losing consciousness, resulting in him having to wait helplessly for the distorted time to end.
"Hopefully, it won't take too long."
His mindset was still manageable at this moment.
Soon, though, Sterl became numb!
Half a day passed.
Three days passed.
A week passed.
Sterl realized that he was still trapped within this membrane fold, moving slowly, unable to complete the teleportation.
Suddenly, his mindset exploded.
In this bizarre state, he couldn't even find the opportunity to log off; he could only wait silently...
This meant that in the worst-case scenario, if the teleportation failed, would he be permanently trapped in this void?
Sterl knew that in such an empty void, no matter how resilient his soul was, the emptiness would lead to a loss of consciousness, ultimately causing his soul to dissipate!
As an intelligent being, no one could endure the agony of absolute solitude!
Fortunately, Sterl's mindset didn't crumble; his memory held a vast amount of information.
He simply thought back over it all, treating it like a collection of miscellaneous books and novels, which could keep him occupied for quite a while.
Two months later...
Sterl had gone through the various chaotic materials he had read at least twice.
He began to recall his various techniques, using meditation to reflect on his past battles, identifying weaknesses and filling in the gaps.
"Right! Back then, I was already anxious."
"In fact, I didn't need to use Celestial Stars; I could have ended the battle while conserving more energy."
...
"When I first mastered Law Power, I was too crude in my application."
...
"That wave could have been finished with a less powerful skill."
...
Although Sterl was now merely a stream of information, he inexplicably felt that his combat skills had significantly improved!
In the past, he had relied on his overwhelming output and defense to crush his enemies, far surpassing others of the same realm.
However, due to his rapid rise in power, Sterl's foundation had been somewhat shaky.
But after summarizing his experiences over the past two months, he had undergone a transformation. Once he regained his physical form and reacquainted himself with his body, his combat effectiveness could increase significantly.
Six months later, Sterl had revisited every battle he had fought up to that point and then began to study the powers and laws he had already mastered.
One year later.
Three years later.
Five years later!
The information entity that Sterl represented had completely organized the powers he had mastered, radiating an exceptionally clear light!
In this endless stretch of time, Sterl's character underwent immense refinement. The destructive power he had previously wielded in a frenzy was now perfected.
Though Transcendence was a game world, some rules were still applicable to reality. Even though Sterl could instantly max out the proficiency of his skills using blood force, the number of times he had employed his trump cards was far fewer than that of a typical demigod legend.
Even if Sterl was often in a combat state, he couldn't compare to others who had accumulated experience for over a hundred years.
As his understanding of techniques deepened, Sterl gradually calmed down.
His mindset also began to elevate slowly.
If it weren't for the uncertainty of when this teleportation would end, Sterl might have actually gained something from this experience.
But...
The information entity that Sterl had transformed into suddenly burst into light.
He discovered that the dust containing the power of time, hidden in the small world, could inexplicably be extracted!
In addition to reviewing the various abilities he had mastered, Sterl had also grasped a portion of the power of time!
As a result, a soft sound echoed—
A light thud.
Countless dust particles swirled around Sterl, transforming into raging flames!
Within the Crystal Barrier Galaxy, the distorted time instead flowed in as nourishment into Sterl's body.
In an instant...
Sterl experienced a sudden enlightenment!
As always, his innate talent wasn't particularly strong, but the Arcane Soul talent had already made Sterl one of the top geniuses in the lower realm!
At the cost of controlling the dust infused with the power of time, Sterl began to gain insight!
In just a few seconds...
With a thought...
The decades that were supposed to be distorted during the teleportation transformed into a mere instant.
Sterl gained decades of comprehension all at once.
In his state as an information entity, he reformed his body, and the image of a clock face appeared in his eyes.
At this point...
The most mysterious law in the lower realm—time!
Due to an unexpected incident, it had been indelibly inscribed within Sterl's body.
"This is..."
As the power of time surged, Sterl felt his soul vibrating.
His soul power was rapidly and violently increasing!
