Chapter 522: A Glimpse of the World Behind the Wall!

“Subject: Su Mo

“Physical Value Analysis is detected to be 39.27, three times higher than an average human being.

“Cellular Activity Rate is detected to be 0.594, six times higher than an average human. The rate of cell division is slower and slows down degeneration time.

“Energy Component is more than 99 percent similar to a human being, and the remaining values are not included by default due to possible minor error in value.

“Bone Age Analysis of the subject is approximately between the age of 35 to 41. The lower body bones are shown to be worn out, whereas the upper body shows a certain degree of oxidation.

“Blood Component Analysis…blood type…identified as B. Blood oxygen content exceeds 135 percent, is highly saturated, and has excellent blood activity.

“In vivo radiological imaging is in progress…”

Compared with Moore’s physical condition, Su Mo’s physical analysis showed that his body components were still within human understanding despite the long-term nourishment of psychic energy water.

The positive effects of oxygen levels in a highly supersaturated state were a physique three times better than normal humans and cellular activity six times higher than that of human beings.

His bone ages greatly exceeded his actual age by more than ten years, which was the side effect of high oxygen levels.

Su Mo’s body was like a fully functioning atomic furnace rapidly undergoing a chemical reaction, providing the body with overwhelming energy every minute.

The high oxygen content also put unbearable stress and oxidation on the bones in the process.

At this rate, Su Mo’s bone aging process exceeded an average human being by…

Fifteen times!

“Your blood is highly oxygenated. It’s like a double-edged sword. The stress you put on your bones increases with the amount of energy you exhaust.

“Your back muscles are built on high oxygen levels, so they are able to withstand the tears caused by your power exertion.

“However, your bones can’t be replaced. They’ve already shaped when you reach adulthood. The oxygen levels will only cause damage and won’t be of help to them.”

They looked through the data as the remaining test data was still being analyzed.

The first thing was an x-ray of Su Mo’s skeleton. Yan Xiaqing waited for the coloring to finish, and she stretched out her hand, pushing the screen toward Su Mo, who was still lying on the bed.

A bright red muscle outline represented health. However, his neck and below were covered in a grayish tone, which meant they were in an extremely poor state.

Su Mo could even clearly identify a crack on the bones of his lower body.

According to bone age, his bones had indeed reached the state of forty years old.

“You shouldn’t fight anymore in the future. Your power is simply unbearable for a human body.

“Human beings have strong adaptability, but our bones limit us. They’re as fragile as a piece of paper. Your cells are incredibly active now, maintaining your metabolism and nutrient delivery.

“However, if you were to improve your physical fitness and use too much of your powers, it would only take a few more times before you’re completely paralyzed!”

Yan Xiaqing was straightforward and gave him an ultimatum after seeing that Su Mo was lost in thought.

On Earth, the majority of the creatures that could achieve several or even dozens of times their own strength were invertebrates.

They could lift objects hundreds and thousands of times heavier than their body weight instantly without the limitation of bones while merely relying on their muscles and instantaneous outburst of energy.

Meanwhile, living beings that had bone structures were limited in strength.

There would be unimaginable side effects to the body if that limit was exceeded.

This was precisely why athletes who exercised regularly aged ten times faster and were more prone to injuries.

“Sister Yan, can’t we strengthen my brother’s bones…”

“No!”

Yan Xiaqing interrupted Su Chan and shook her head.

“His current state is not caused by a nutrient loss that we are familiar with but because of work overload!

“The recovery rate of bones is constant, but when the damage sustained is higher than the recovery rate, there will only be more injuries!

“As long as he doesn’t use his power and just be a normal person, his bones still have a chance to…”

Yan Xiaqing shook her head more frequently as she spoke.

She knew what it meant if Su Mo, the territory lord, could not use his power.

“It’s okay. I’m aware of my body’s condition. Don’t worry about it.

“The wear and tear of my bones mean nothing if our experiment is successful…”

Su Mo smiled and ended the topic, seeing that Yan Xiaqing’s concern was overflowing.

To wear the crown, you must first bear its weight.

The aging of his bones meant nothing compared with the increase in cellular activity in his body.

If you were to give everyone in the doomsday wasteland a chance to choose between a physique that could increase strength infinitely with the cost of bone aging several times faster than an average human, or to live as an ordinary person, living in constant fear for their lives…

90% of people would not hesitate to choose the former.

“You’re right! We’ve one more reason to succeed in this experiment!”

Yan Xiaqing paused and shrugged after understanding Su Mo’s words, then continued to quickly swipe her fingers across the screen.

Seconds later, all the data slowly disappeared, and an interface consisting of a percentage popped up.

Simultaneously, a lever located on the side of the side machine that could be pulled down also stuck out, radiating a thick metallic glow.

“During the experiment, we’ll have two safety words, one to start and one to exit the experiment.

“You can recite in your heart to increase, and we will increase the frequency, but when you feel that you’re in danger, recite in your heart the word ‘exit’.

“We’ll pull you straight out through the wake-up precaution setting.

“Safety first no matter what!”

Yan Xiaqing pointed at the lever in her hand and narrowed her eyes. The moment she saw Su Mo nod, she pushed forward suddenly.

Buzz!

A huge current passed through wires and accumulated below the machine. The numbers on the meter had also visibly begun to increase.

The meter increased to 30%, and seeing that Su Mo still had his eyes open, Yan Xiaqing increased the electrical current.

When the current had reached 50%, Su Mo could feel a numbness throughout his body, and he began to lose his neural senses.

Su Mo felt as if his body had disappeared as he gradually lost the senses throughout his body. He slowly closed his eyes and began to sink into his consciousness, recalling the scene where he saw the frosted glass.

At 65%, Su Mo could no longer feel anything below his neck.

At 75%, he lost all senses and control from below his eyes.

At 85%, darkness had consumed his vision as his eyes shut close, losing complete control of his iris.

The body had several senses.

Su Mo’s consciousness gradually became active after losing his senses of vision, hearing, taste, smell, and control over his body, and his brain was utterly numb.

Without the burden of the five senses, the sea of consciousness formed by the quantum realm rapidly moved around as he tried to communicate with the nothingness.

Invisible radio frequencies emerged in Su Mo’s mind, like tuning a radio frequency, patiently testing the channels until it was connected.

However, it was a pity that it was as if the antenna on the radio had not been pulled up, so the radio signals were unstable and could not be received clearly.

‘Increase, increase, increase…’

Su Mo watched as the memory fragments flashed before him and cited in his heart unconsciously. He began to concentrate on searching for a particular memory.

It was simple yet challenging to find the controller.

Su Mo’s muscles had fallen into a state of “anesthesia” after the intense electrical current passed through him.

However, it was different from anesthesia injections.

This method did not affect the nerves wrapped around the inner and lower parts of the muscle.

At the same time, similarly to when one is close to death, memories would flash through the human mind and create a message to deceive the brain.

As long as Su Mo could find the controller and trigger the fusion mark in the process, then according to the nerve’s response he could easily find the so-called “trigger point” for the controller and copy it.

‘In fact, the word “controller” might not even be accurate. To be precise, it is the location where authorization is stored.

‘Its location is probably close to that piece of frosted glass.’

After the current was increased, Su Mo laughed silently as he watched the familiar memories flash before him.

The memories quickly flashed by in a proper sequence, and he fast-forwarded it to the expeditionary base.

The images began to get clearer.

The memories of when he entered the base, passed the test, repaired the rocket, and prepared for launch…

Su Mo was nervous when he finally saw himself in the memories leaning against the wall, prepared to use the divine authority.

Then, a burst of purple light radiated from the authority.

The scenario changed, and a familiar frosted glass scene finally appeared in front of him.

“Stop, stop here!” Su Mo shouted.

The scene gradually stopped showing Su Mo standing in front of the frosted glass, deep in thought.

With the help of a third-person perspective, Su Mo saw something that he had never noticed before!

The frosted wall was not really a single whole object.

Instead, it consisted of objects of different transparencies, shapes, and sizes.

The refracted light was confusing because of the different volumes of the objects.

When viewed from the front, the transparent wall appeared to be a “frosted glass”.

“Wait, is this the… authority I have now?

Su Mo scanned every different-looking object and was stunned when his vision swept across the sixth object in the fourth row of the wall.

Compared to the other larger objects, this one was only about one centimeter and had a width of only 0.5 centimeters, which made it seem highly insignificant among the others.

However, he saw a blue droplet that was hard to spot on its surface.

Su Mo tried to control his consciousness to move closer to look at the object.

He felt as if his whole body was struck by lightning in the next moment!

His vision had clarity like never before, and before his eyes was an impressive field of vision.

This object had no impurities.

The only thing it had was a scene that would make anyone want to shout out in fear.

Su Mo felt as if he was a fish that lived at the bottom of the sea, and this was the first time he had jumped out of the water to see the intricate outside world.

It was as if he was an ant who worked all day and climbed out of his pit onto the land for the first time.

For the first time, Su Mo saw it clearly…

The world behind the wall!

“It’s real! It’s actually real! There’s really another world behind the wall! There’s another dimension that exists besides ours!”

The size of the transparent object was tiny. Even if Su Mo opened his eyes as wide as possible, he could only see a golden wall engraved with dense patterns.

Higher-dimensional beings seeing the lower-dimensional world would not show much surprise or shock.

However, when lower-dimensional creatures come in contact with higher-dimensional ones, they would go through significant changes!

Su Mo’s gaze seemed imprisoned as he stared blankly at the pattern on the wall, and his consciousness stopped thinking.

Fortunately, he was viewing the scene in his memories and wasn’t directly staring at it.

Su Mo’s astonishment ended, and he quickly diverted his attention to frantically searching the wall.

“The composition of my authority consists of mostly the ocean… the ocean…

“There it is!”

Su Mo lowered his head and found the object that represented the authority of the ocean in the second row from the bottom.

Compared to the previous tiny droplet object, the volume of the ocean was three times larger, and the length was about four centimeters!

Su Mo looked through it and saw a different picture again.

“It’s not a wall. This is a… door?”

The object’s general shape in Su Mo’s vision could be identified when he looked from a lower angle.

Glancing through the dazzling lights that surrounded it, behind the frosted wall formed by authorities was a door.

Su Mo pondered for a moment, then looked away from the object, found a different authority he owned, and began observing it.

“This is amazing. There’s actually a door behind this wall formed by authorities.

“Is it possible that if I gathered all the authorities, I can break through the wall and enter the world behind this door?

Su Mo found that there was only a door in his field of vision after he observed it from many different angles.

His mind was full of thoughts.

The large door appeared majestic and had natural patterns carved from top to bottom.

Anyone would appreciate this work of art if they saw it from any angle.

The door handle that one would imagine there would be was not there on the door.

Instead, only a keyhole in the middle of the door emitted a pitch-black glow.

Su Mo tried to touch the object composed of authorities with his hand and quietly put his hand down after he could not feel any sensation.

The scenes in one’s memory could only be viewed from a third-party perspective to replay the image of the body’s memories.

The memories could not be changed and could not be controlled as if rewinding time.

Su Mo would have to reuse the authority to enter this magical world to be able to touch these objects.

However, the current situation was that he had yet to obtain more than 51% of the authority.

He had to spend tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of survival points to use his authority every time.

It was a price that Su Mo simply could not afford right now!

‘I’m so close to the truth!

‘It seems that Jiang Chu’s guess about the controller, the program, and the incubator theory might not be entirely correct.

‘The real secret to this world, I’m afraid only the game… and the people behind it would understand!’

Countless possibilities started to form in Su Mo’s mind as he observed the door.

However, he lacked some critical information required to verify his conjecture.

At the very least, he would have to physically enter this place and truly feel the energy from these objects formed by authorities.

‘I’m not sure if Jiang Chu, or those who had received authority before, knew about this door. Since Jiang Chu did not mention it, there’s a high probability that they’ve never been able to come to this place and see through this transparent wall.

‘I don’t know who told them about the controller or the theory about the incubator.

‘But, as far as our current situation is concerned, and based on the system’s information, I’m afraid it’s not even what it’s called…

‘I have to be more cautious!’

Su Mo was suddenly alarmed when he recalled what Jiang Chu had said, combined with what he had just seen.

According to what he saw, there was only one keyhole on the gate, which means there was only one key.

There would only be one winner who could acquire this key moving forward.

Whoever acquired all the authorities had the right to access the door.

It did not matter whether another world outside or another mysterious higher dimension exists.

The humans who survived would also likely become opponents under this sole winner mode when the time came.

Su Mo suddenly lost interest in staying any longer after the thought appeared in his mind.

Seconds later, a calling happened within Su Mo, and the fusion was triggered.

In reality, the mark stored inside a solution was being injected by the machine.

At the same time, the first object on the fourth row began to flicker faintly on the frosted glass wall.

Su Mo gently touched the ray of light, and before he could feel any changes, his vision began to spin.

A surprised voice entered Su Mo’s ears before he could fully recover.

“Su…Mo, we… succeeded… the fusion!”
