Chapter 1294 Reconstructing the Sea of Consciousness

"Reconstructing the Sea of Consciousness?"

Shi Feng looked at the system notification, his eyes filled with surprise and astonishment.

He was no stranger to the concept of reconstructing the Sea of Consciousness; in fact, he was very familiar with it.

It was precisely because of this familiarity that he found it so unbelievable.

The Sea of Consciousness, to put it bluntly, is a player's soul. Any Tier 5 player who wants to advance to Tier 6, a God-ranked, must overcome a certain hurdle.

That is the qualitative change of the soul!

Anyone who wants to advance to Tier 6 not only needs a powerful body but also a powerful soul. Only when both are met can one advance to Tier 6.

Achieving a powerful soul is arguably the most difficult, because the soul is ethereal. The only thing one can do is constantly improve one's mental strength, which will naturally strengthen the soul.

However, this rate of improvement is too slow. Even if one's mental strength reaches the peak of Tier 5, the effect on the soul is not very fast. It takes countless mental trials to achieve a qualitative change in the soul.

Of course, there is a faster way: to reach Tier 6 God-ranked mental strength!

This terrifying level of mental strength allows one to continuously improve their Sea of Consciousness with their own will, which is incomparable to Tier 5 mental strength.

In addition, there is a third method in God's Domain: to break the original Sea of Consciousness through external objects and rebuild it. This method is similar to reaching Tier 6 God-ranked mental strength, but it is more violent and thorough.

Because this reconstruction directly disrupts and rebuilds everything, rather than just partially modifying the Sea of Consciousness to grow, like a Tier 6 God-ranked spirit.

Such an opportunity is rare and hard to come by for peak Tier 5 experts.

Shi Feng never expected to obtain such an opportunity before even advancing to Tier 5.

After a short silence, Shi Feng chose to accept the World Blessing without hesitation to reconstruct his Sea of Consciousness.

System: The World Blessing will begin in 30 seconds. Please prepare yourself. The higher the player's completion rate, the better the reconstruction effect on the Sea of Consciousness.

"The higher the completion rate, the better?"

Shi Feng dared not be careless. He took a deep breath, only allocating some mental energy to stabilize the Broken Bridge, ceasing any further construction, and prepared to fully accept the World Blessing.

As the 30 seconds passed, Shi Feng felt an excruciating pain as if his soul was being completely torn apart. If he hadn't been tempered by the Tier 4异火 (Yi Huo, alien flame), he wouldn't have been able to endure it.

However, after about ten seconds, the pain vanished completely. Shi Feng felt as if his mind was blank, leaving only countless fragments of his soul scattered everywhere.

Then, he saw the use of magical elements to construct magic arrays, each extremely complex. Even a quasi-master of magic arrays like Shi Feng was shocked.

He recognized more than ten master-level magic arrays, and hundreds of grandmaster-level magic arrays, all forming an enormous soul magic array.

System: The player has four hours to guide the reconstruction. After four hours, the World Blessing will end. If the completion rate is less than 40%, the Sea of Consciousness will not be reconstructed. Afterwards, the player will suffer from soul weakness due to the complete shattering of the soul, lasting 20 natural days.

"Twenty natural days?"

Shi Feng wasn't surprised by the penalty for failing to complete the reconstruction. After all, God's Domain was a place where opportunities and risks coexisted. On the contrary, a penalty of twenty natural days was relatively small.

If the peak Tier 5 experts of his previous life knew about this, they would be fighting over it.

Shi Feng stopped thinking and began to wholeheartedly inscribe magic arrays within his Sea of Consciousness.

At this moment, Shi Feng didn't know if he was lucky or unlucky.

He was lucky because he was in a special space filled with Eternal Energy when he accepted the World Blessing, which was a great help for him to inscribe magic arrays. But the downside was that his mind could no longer control his body, so he couldn't stabilize the Broken Bridge.

In other words, he didn't have four hours to complete the soul magic array...

Nevertheless, the effect of the Eternal Energy made it easy for Shi Feng to inscribe grandmaster-level magic arrays. Even though he hadn't studied them in detail, the entire magic array felt familiar, as if he had seen it countless times, and he inscribed it in one go.

The completion rate of the soul magic array increased at a visible rate.

1%...3%...7%...

In less than an hour, Shi Feng had completed 16% of the massive soul magic array. It was predictable that he would definitely reach 40% in four hours, even if the speed slowed down later due to having to inscribe master-level magic arrays. Reaching 40% wasn't difficult.

In less than an hour and a half, Shi Feng's completion rate reached 35%, a speed that even he himself couldn't believe.

As Shi Feng completed the first master-level magic array, the completion rate of the soul magic array jumped from 35% to 38% in an instant.

"It increased so much at once?" Shi Feng glanced at the completion rate and was also shocked.

Before, completing a grandmaster-level magic array didn't even increase the completion rate by 0.5%. Now, just completing a master-level magic array increased it by nearly 3%. And because of the Eternal Energy, inscribing master-level magic arrays wasn't much slower than inscribing grandmaster-level magic arrays.

"The Broken Bridge can only be stabilized for a maximum of three hours without my stabilization. There's less than twenty minutes left. It seems I can only try to inscribe one more master-level magic array."

Although Shi Feng guessed that the Broken Bridge could be stabilized for three hours, it was just a prediction. For safety's sake, inscribing one more master-level magic array was the limit.

The entire soul magic array was huge, but the key was the ten or so master-level magic arrays, especially the six core master-level magic arrays.

Originally, Shi Feng planned to inscribe more grandmaster-level magic arrays around them, which would allow the core master-level magic arrays to exert a greater effect, but there wasn't enough time.

Now, he could only grit his teeth and inscribe the second core master-level magic array first.

As time passed, Shi Feng finally completed the second core master-level magic array after ten minutes.

Instantly, the completion rate of the soul magic array jumped from 38% to 41%, completing the system's required completion rate.

Then, Shi Feng chose to complete the reconstruction and didn't continue.

System: Player's magic array completion rate is 41%, meeting the most basic completion rate requirement. The Sea of Consciousness will begin to re-coalesce according to the constructed magic array. Player, confirm whether to begin coalescing?

"Coalesce!"

Shi Feng didn't hesitate. Although there was still more than an hour left, if he died midway, the reconstruction of the Sea of Consciousness would become a joke.

After Shi Feng made his choice, the magic array engraved in the depths of his soul began to operate.

Although the entire magic array was incomplete, it could barely operate, as the system said.

As the Sea of Consciousness was reconstructed, Shi Feng felt an unprecedented clarity in his mind. His thought activity and mental reaction speed were significantly greater than before.

After about twenty seconds, Shi Feng noticed that his Sea of Consciousness had become noticeably more solid than its original blurry state.

This solidification felt like condensing from a gaseous state to a liquid state.

The change seemed small, but the density had undergone a qualitative change.

Even though it was still in a illusory state, Shi Feng clearly felt that his thinking speed was more than three times faster. As long as he concentrated, the surrounding time seemed to slow down threefold, which was incomparable to before.

"Too strong!" Shi Feng looked at his newly reconstructed Sea of Consciousness and couldn't help but click his tongue. "No wonder those many Tier 5 experts in my previous life were so crazy about reconstructing their Sea of Consciousness. With such a solid Sea of Consciousness, even if my mental strength is only at the initial Tier 5, the speed at which my soul improves will probably be faster than even a peak Tier 5 expert."

His mental strength was indeed still at the initial Tier 5, but the strength of his soul was something that even experts with peak Tier 5 mental strength couldn't compare to.

When Shi Feng opened his eyes again, everything around him seemed different.

The range of his mental perception had expanded from the original hundred yards to over five hundred yards. His five senses had also undergone a qualitative change, and his body felt more agile and sharp than ever before.

Even the Broken Bridge, which had collapsed to less than two meters, was now nearly stable without Shi Feng's deliberate maintenance.

Moreover, his previously weakened spirit had become more abundant than ever before.

"It seems there shouldn't be any problem passing the trial now." Shi Feng looked at the Broken Bridge in its semi-stable state and couldn't help but chuckle.

He used to have to deliberately maintain the Broken Bridge to prevent it from collapsing, which took a lot of his mental energy. Now, he didn't need to maintain it at all and could focus on building the bridge, which greatly reduced the mental strain on himself.

Then, Shi Feng began to build the bridge again. This time, it was much easier than before, and Shi Feng's progress was flying.

In just less than three days, Shi Feng completed one-third of the journey.

Shi Feng didn't stop. After all, the Eternal Energy in this special space was too good. Here, he could not only further deepen his understanding of magic elements but also take the time to familiarize himself with his Sea of Consciousness. He could also occasionally verify his envisioned Magic Body.

So Shi Feng wasn't in a hurry to leave and continued to walk forward.

As he got closer to the blurred land, Shi Feng gradually realized that the construction of the Broken Bridge had to be more and more refined, otherwise it would be difficult to support it in the dark space.

After walking for nearly four days, halfway through the journey, Shi Feng found that he could no longer move forward.

This inability to move forward was not because he couldn't support it mentally, but because the Broken Bridge constructed from various magical elements couldn't support it. If the Broken Bridge couldn't undergo further qualitative changes, it couldn't support him standing on it.

"It seems I can only go this far."

Shi Feng looked at the distant, clearer land with a hint of regret.

He could feel that as long as he could reach that land, it would be of great help to him. However, with his current ability to make the Broken Bridge undergo a qualitative change, it was obviously impossible, even if he spent another month or two.

Then, Shi Feng chose to exit this special space.

ps: The New Year is coming soon. Tianyun Lao Mao also has two good news to tell everyone here. The first good news is that the next volume will be the grand finale of this book. After so many years, it's finally coming to an end -_-||.

The second good news is a hidden benefit for the majority of readers. If you are interested in some character anecdotes from this book, or other incidents in the God's Domain world, you can add the w public x number Tianyun Lao Mao, and you can see some content that cannot be shown in the book. After all, the website has many restrictions, and some things really cannot be written, so it can only be a small benefit for readers who love this book.

At the same time, Lao Mao wishes everyone a Happy New Year in advance!
