Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Jingyun County surroundings.

After Yang Fan unleashed a punch far beyond his own level, he was utterly exhausted.

He quickly found a secluded cave, devoured a meal, and then fell into a deep slumber.

When night fell once more.

Yang Fan finally woke up.

He crawled out of the tent, looked at the dark cave entrance, and muttered, "Did I sleep for that long?"

He stretched his limbs, feeling his muscles still somewhat sore, and his spirit slightly fatigued.

Clearly.

He hadn't fully recovered yet.

Yang Fan shook his head: "That punch was powerful indeed, but I need to be more careful in the future, I can't do it recklessly anymore."

"Gurgle! Gurgle!"

His stomach growled again.

He patted his belly helplessly: "Eat then sleep, sleep then eat, I'm really turning into a pig."

Yang Fan swiftly set up a table, just preparing to enjoy dinner when he felt something was off.

He immediately murmured to himself: "Attributes."

A few lines of phantom text flashed out.

[Attributes]

Physical Value: 18.9

Spirit Value: 20.8

Yang Fan was a bit surprised: "Physical Value increased by 0.3, Spirit Value increased by 0.2, what's going on?"

He pondered: "Was it because that punch broke through my limits that my attributes improved?"

However.

Even though attribute improvement is a good thing, he wasn't planning on doing it like that again.

After all, attacks exceeding the body's limits entail certain risks.

Clearly, one could steadily increase points without taking risks, so why risk it?

Yang Fan took out a few dishes he cooked at home yesterday, retrieved a rice cooker, and opened a bottle of chilled beer to enjoy dinner.

He took a bite of steak, nodded in satisfaction: "With the attributes improved, even my cooking skills have gotten a lot better."

Earlier he thought "flipping pans" and "knife skills" were strong chef techniques.

Now he genuinely felt they were incredibly simple, just a glance allowed his body to naturally master the techniques.

After activating the Vajra Superpower last time, with the Physical Value skyrocketing, he had done some experiments at home.

Holding a kitchen knife to slice potatoes, he could cut them as thin as hair strands.

This was enough proof that his ability to control his body had significantly improved.

Moreover.

His control over taste had also become more precise, and his culinary skills naturally took a huge leap.

After a full meal.

Yang Fan activated Mind Link, summoning the Peregrine Falcon Needle Eye.

"Goo!"

The falcon dragged its master, transforming into an arrow darting into the sky.

At ten in the evening.

Yang Fan returned home smoothly, quickly took a shower, and lay down to sleep.

Due to his body's overexertion, he needed more sleep to recover.

In the middle of the night.

Yang Fan suddenly awoke.

He sat up, his brows furrowed: "Why do I feel like something's going to happen?"

He sat by the bedside, putting on his shoes, ready to go to the bathroom when he suddenly felt the floor start to shake.

He was startled: "Did an earthquake just happen?"

The tremor was very subtle, an ordinary person probably wouldn't notice it.

But his perception was extraordinarily strong, so he sensed it distinctly.

Yang Fan was a bit worried: "Could this be the prelude to a big earthquake?"

Nowadays, with disasters happening frequently, a major earthquake wouldn't be unusual.

Though history tells that no major earthquake had occurred in the Sanjiang Plain where Linjiang City lies, with the world changing so much now, who can be sure?

"Bang!"

A noise came from upstairs.

Obviously, Zhao Xiaoying was also awakened.

Yang Fan glanced upstairs: "Even without awakening, her perception is this sharp; it seems Long-legged Sister's superpower awakening won't be weak."

He curled a corner of his mouth into a smile: "Not bad! She'll make a good undercover in the future."

The stronger Zhao Xiaoying was, the higher her standing in the Jiuzhou Legion would be, and the more intel he could gather from her.

Yang Fan finished his business, couldn't sleep, and walked over to the window to gaze outside.

The community was utterly dark.

Ordinary people didn't sense the earthquake, and were still sound asleep.

"Buzz!"

The tremors came in waves.

Yet Yang Fan felt a faint sense of an unusual calling: "Why do I feel like there's a voice calling me?"

He listened intently for a while, his expression growing more surprised: "There really is a calling."

This wasn't a conventional sense of vocal calling.

Rather, it was as if a voice emerged from deep within his soul.

Yang Fan raised his head toward the night sky and sighed: "This world is getting more and more unusual."

Upstairs.

Zhao Xiaoying was also gazing at the night sky.

She too was worried: "Could a big earthquake really be coming?"

Long-legged Sister silently wished: "Hope my family stays safe, hope Great Xia remains peaceful."

She glanced towards downstairs: "Hope the fishmonger is safe too."

Shangjing City.

Inside the Secret Base.

General Lou came over with another message.

Originally, the Mermaid only agreed to see General Lou once a day.

But last time she discovered a Superpower User who might be a Supreme Treasure, she made an exception to allow General Lou to consult if Great Xia faced an emergency.

"Splash~"

The water surface rippled with waves.

A beautiful face slowly emerged.

The Mermaid yawned: "General Lou, has something big happened again?"

General Lou nodded: "Miss Jana, sorry to disturb you at night."

He said with a serious expression, "I just received a report from the security department, most of the global regions have suddenly experienced earthquakes.

"The strangest part is, these earthquakes' magnitudes were generally at Level 3 or below, not very hazardous.

"However, we are very concerned that such widespread earthquakes could be the prelude to a super earthquake."

General Lou asked: "Miss Jana, what do you think?"

The Mermaid pondered for a moment, then asked back without answering: "Were the earthquakes all happening in densely populated areas?"

General Lou paused and said: "I'll have someone verify immediately."

Soon.

The results came out.

General Lou's voice was filled with surprise: "The epicenters of most of the earthquakes are cities with populations over two million."

The Mermaid smiled beautifully: "Seems my guess was right."

She paused, then stressed: "Your world consciousness of Canglan Star has finally awakened."

General Lou was puzzled: "What is World Will?"

The Mermaid explained: "Every civilization world must have a main race that creates civilization.

"The primary race of Canglan Star is naturally all Canglan People, World Will can be seen as the collective subconscious of all Canglan People.

"Of course, this is just a simplified description that is easy to understand, the actual situation is far more complex."

General Lou listened very carefully.

The Mermaid continued: "Canglan Star fell into the Primordial World, and the World Will developed an independent consciousness under the influence of the Primordial Law, which is the essence of the awakening.

"Taking about a year to awaken after descending is roughly the average for a medium-sized civilization world."

General Lou asked further: "Then what does the earthquake signify?"

The Mermaid smiled: "This is Canglan Star's World Will, using this method to convey information to you Canglan People."

General Lou instantly understood: "No wonder the earthquake centers are all major cities with dense populations."

Causing earthquakes in densely populated areas is obviously the most efficient way.

General Lou continued to ask: "Miss Jana, how can we receive the message from the World Will?"

The Mermaid shook her head: "I can't help you, only the strong among the Canglan People can."

She added: "According to Mei Jia Civilization's experience, one must reach Warrior Level to sense the call of the World Will."

General Lou sighed.

Linjiang City.

Yue Bay District.

Yang Fan listened to the calling for a while, discerning more from it.

He turned his head to look north: "Why do I feel like the call seems to come from the north of Great Xia? What's over there?"

But the sensation was too vague, he couldn't find a way even if he wanted to search.

Half an hour later.

The tremors finally subsided.

Yang Fan yawned and returned to his bedroom to sleep.
