Chapter 400: A Great Harvest! Power of the World! (2)
Brian greedily looked at the grain of golden sand, reached out his finger, and touched the golden sand.
Bang~
The sand dissipated, slowly merging into the surrounding void.
..
Boom~
Along with the merging of the golden sand.
The entire Blissful Space began to flow.
It started a new round of transformation!
This process was destined to be long.
But at the moment of merging, Brian immediately felt the changes in the Blissful Space.
Flowing, not the air, not the space, but time!
After merging with the origin of the Long, Brian's Blissful World from then on had the concept of time!
"No, it seems something is still missing.."
Brian closed his eyes to feel the state of transformation in the Blissful Space.
He didn't know how much time had passed.
He suddenly opened his eyes, showing a look of realization.
Brian finally realized why the rule origin attribute displayed by the Long, clearly was of years, was called Time-Space Dragon.
With a single thought.
The dust formed from the Long's physical body had also merged into the Blissful Space.
The next moment.
Rumble~
The already perforated Blissful Space, the cracks in the sky, were visibly recovering at an observable speed.
Not only that.
The Blissful Space, which could already envelop the entire Mercury, began to expand slowly once more.
Moreover, during this expansion, Brian felt a more tangible texture of space.
All this was due to the dust.
The dust formed from the Long's physical body was not ordinary dust, but a material containing fragments of space rules.
Originally, the Long's space origin was in the body, while the time origin was in the soul.
Only the combination of the two was a complete Time-Space Dragon.
Brian was quite fortunate.
The Long he encountered, its physical body was already on the verge of collapse, and the contained space rule origin had been shattered into countless fragments, causing its origin to be torn and incomplete.
Otherwise, the result of the previous battle could not have been said for sure.
...
This change in the Blissful Space was greater than the last, and Brian could not help but feel joy in his heart.
If not for the long digestion and transformation process of the space, he would have wished to guard the space, waiting for the transformation to end.
After all, his hope to get rid of the Blood Moon was placed on the time-space rules!
Unfortunately, more patience was still needed.
Idle hands are the devil's workshop.
Brian turned his gaze to the other two spoils of war.
..
The remaining two spoils of war.
One was a colorful light.
Although called colorful, it actually consisted of more colors, presenting a mass of shifting colorful clouds, which were still writhing.
The other was a large amount of ethereal mist.
Brian's finger pointed to a mass of mist.
The next moment.
A large number of memory fragments surged forth.
These memories turned out to be fragments from the Long's countless years.
The torrent of memories was too vast.
Even just a mere one percent of this mist contained memory far exceeding all of Brian's fifty or so years combined from his past and present life.
He hurriedly sealed these memories within his mind.
His own memories, compared to this small portion of the Long's memories, were like the life of an insect to that of a human.
This creature had lived for far too long.
Even if he fast-forwarded through everything, it would take some years.
Brian planned to take his time with them later, as a form of entertainment.
He turned his gaze back to the writhing multicolored cloud, reaching out his finger.
...
The next moment.
Buzz~
Strands of dim light turned into rainbow light, swiftly darting in all directions, attempting to break through the barrier of the Blissful Space and escape this place.
As these lights dispersed.
Brian finally understood what these were.
Each strand of rainbow light was a powerful soul that still retained consciousness.
No need to guess.
These were the souls from the afterglow shards.
Just why the Long devoured them but didn't digest them remained unknown.
Indigestion?
Yet the problem wasn't severe.
The Long was lucky to encounter someone like Brian, who was kind-hearted.
He did not mind helping the Long finish its after-sales service.
...
Bang bang bang~
Sounds of collision came continuously.
These souls, like birds startled, found with horror that, not only could their weak selves not breach the space's barrier, but they were also being bounced back.
Before they could continue trying.
Tentacular appendages of a sinister nature descended from the sky, wrapping around their souls.
The next moment.
The pain of tearing came.
In horror, they discovered that their rule origin was actually being stripped from their soul in the face of a tyrannical power!
"How is it possible? Even Long at the Seventh Rank needs to rely on time to slowly erode us. Why can these tentacles directly devour!!!"
"Spare me! I'm willing to be your slave..."
"Explode, self-detonate for me!!!"
In the face of life and death, all sorts of behaviors are revealed.
Brian watched expressionlessly as those rainbow lights begged for mercy, cursed, struggled...
These souls from the Exotic Realm regarded humans as blood food energy.
In Brian's eyes, these so-called divine entities were nothing more than food!
..
As the rules were integrated one by one.
The transformation of the Blissful Space grew even larger.
Gold, wood, water, fire, earth...
The earth...
Mist...
Flesh and blood...
The ocean...
The rules of heaven and earth merged with each other.
In Brian's observation, before they could be digested, a large amount of land condensed from the void...
As if the Creation of Heaven and Earth.
Earth, ocean, trees...
All appeared.
There was even a faint mist rising, transforming into the atmosphere.
Brian had a premonition.
When the power of these rules was fully digested, his Blissful World could evolve into a real world capable of proliferating life.
...
As these rules initially integrated into the Blissful Space,
even more miraculous things happened.
Brian touched his forehead, which was connected to the Blissful Space, feeling it swell as if something extraordinary was being nurtured there.
With a thought,
in the next moment,
Brian's consciousness entered a white space.
This was his sea of consciousness.
In the center of the space, a wisp of faint yellow mist was slowly condensing.
The moment he saw the mist, Brian's heart trembled.
Such powerful energy.
This thing, though he didn't know what it was, gave him the feeling that even in an unformed wisp, the power it contained was more terrifyingly potent than the full-force explosion of energy he had after fusing with the Blissful World.
Brian attempted to analyze this wisp of yellow mist.
A sense of familiarity, accompanied by pieces of information, surged into Brian's mind.
Suddenly, he understood.
This mist was the Power of the World nurtured by the Blissful World!
This thing could enhance the soul, accelerate the transformation of rules, enhance the physical body, create things in the void...
Similar to some kind of universal currency.
This was the reward from the cosmos for Brian, who was about to ascend as the Master of the Blissful World!
As long as the world remained intact,
the more prosperous the Blissful World became, the more Power of the World it would produce.
Right now, it's just a little taste.
Not even one unit.
"Life is truly getting more and more promising!"
Brian rejoiced.
With the help of the Power of the World, he became increasingly confident in resolving the major issue of the Blood Moon Relics.
He only needed the Blissful World to completely devour these Rule Powers and finish the transformation.
Brian was ready to immediately handle the troublesome Blood Moon Relics!
..
Brian continued to stay in the Blissful World for a long time.
After confirming there were no new changes, he reluctantly traversed the Spirit Realm to return to his place in reality.
The time that had passed was unknown.
The place where Brian had left was long deserted.
No human figures.
But there was a dog figure.
It seemed to sense Brian's presence.
A mountain-sized dog beast slowly opened its eyes, full of majesty.
Once it saw who had come, the majesty on the dog beast's face immediately collapsed.
Shi San joyfully stuck out his tongue, wagged his tail, and with booming vibrations, rushed in front of Brian, rubbing his house-sized head up: "Big Dog, you're finally back. While you were gone, I couldn't eat or drink. If you didn't return soon, I would have starved to death.. hic~"
The smell of roast meat, Blood Fruit, cake... all sorts of complicated food smells blew into Brian's face with Shi San's hiccup.
Shi San: ..
This hiccup came at the wrong time.
If I'd known, I would have eaten less today.
Brian smiled wryly, "Why do I feel like you've gained a lot of weight."
Shi San shook his head wildly, "No, this is just a false impression, Big Dog, come on, let's go home. You don't know. After you left for more than a year, Susan's temper continued to flare up. Others can't take Susan's fists, so she came to me every day. Wuwuwu, Big Dog, your absence made my life miserable, hic~"
Brian, holding his nose, begrudgingly sat on Shi San.
He looked at the distant house.
He had a complicated gaze.
He thought only a dozen days had passed at most.
Unexpectedly, over a year had gone by.
He seemed to be growing increasingly insensitive to the perception of time.
