Chapter 112 Earthquake
```
it is merely a form of cognition.
ants and mayflies cannot comprehend human existence.
in their lifespans, which do not reach even a day, they cannot grasp the grandeur of a being that can live for a century.
confined to a few thousand meters for their entire lives, they also cannot fathom the vastness of a planet tens of thousands of miles in diameter.
just like alkaid just now, deeply amazed by the ability to see through the essence of all things with a glance.
however, this cognition is similar to how ordinary people can casually grasp the entirety of the world a mayfly can encounter in its lifetime.
the two are of the same nature.
different dimensions lead to different cognitions.
"perhaps it's because of dying and then being revived, or maybe it's the rebirth of the dead; in any case, for some unknown reason, i... have acquired this high-dimensional cognition. it's like an ant suddenly gaining the perspective of a human, able to see the entire world of ants at a glance... however, i am too weak at the moment, much like an infant who can only control their own body simply. i...
am the same, only able to access a tiny amount of information through 'keywords'..."
alkaid closed his eyes, quietly digesting this truth.
high-dimensional cognition enables him to "see" all information related to a certain "keyword" at a glance.
it's as if an ant were given human vision: it would know immediately where the edible leaves were as soon as it "looked."
there was no need for collective effort like the other ants.
similarly, if he wanted to migrate, he could see through and analyze the path and avoid dangers at a glance.
his personal efficiency was much higher than that of the whole collective.
"so, now that i am too weak, even with high-dimensional cognition, i can only search for a very few keywords like [martial path][demon hunter][businessman][artifact refining], just as an infant with eyes can only see a few meters around them.
only as i continue to grow stronger, as my rank of life continues to rise and i can 'see' more clearly, will i be able to unlock more keywords like the ones i want, such as [alchemy][sword cultivator]..."
alkaid made a comprehensive understanding of his mystery.
as for why high-dimensional cognition appeared in the form of an "ancient tree"...
it had to do with his own cognition as well.
in his brain's interpretation of "cognition," images like career trees or skill trees fit best.
if he could overcome his initial instincts, he could also change the image of the ancient tree into a compass, a galaxy, and so on.
as he pondered, his gaze focused on the "dao fruits."
if information was what he "saw," then the dao fruits were his understanding of these things.
like a book, the dao fruits were the knowledge points he learned from reading it.
alkaid rubbed his eyebrows, pulling his spirit away from the truth of the ancient tree.
"now is not the time to delve deeply into high-dimensional cognition. after all... i am but a mere mortal at present. just as a poor man gains no joy from understanding the society of the rich but is more likely to fall into depression, so too with high-dimensional cognition.
instead of exploring the wonders it represents, it's better to use it to improve myself and my surrounding environment, like a poor man who, through contact with the world of the rich, learns their information and turns it into his own wealth to escape poverty."
alkaid refocused his mind on the dao fruit produced at the ninth rank perfection.
this dao fruit...
"star child."
a glint appeared in alkaid's eyes.
ninth rank, known as star transformation.
the existence of a star child was almost equivalent to the result of another type of star transformation.
a life with the characteristics of a star child and its home planet's earth and sky, that is, the magnetic field, would achieve a very high degree of harmony.
even, given enough time to develop the characteristics of the star child to the extreme, he might be able to display the divine anomalies of a star master when reaching the celestial stage.
"i knew it, the life force field theory should only be possible at the ninth rank star transformation, with the life force field and the stellar power field integrating as one to truly enter the realm of the star master. but this power, which should belong to the ninth rank star transformation, appeared in the form of a dao fruit at eighth rank perfection. then, the dao fruits of the ninth rank...
millions of tons of dirt and rocks, accompanying the start of the landslide, poured down fiercely. the terrifying force of this immense and powerful destruction, not just any martial saint, even a celestial seeing it, would have to flee as far as possible.
to confront this power that could be deemed a natural disaster head-on would mean nothing but certain death.
"this power..."
alkaid, feeling the landslide he had caused with his own power, couldn't help but take in a breath of cold air.
too strong.
this power...
too strong.
moreover, at this moment, he was not even a celestial; his life force field also belonged to the rank of a martial saint.
if his cultivation were to make a breakthrough, truly stepping into the celestial realm, with the significant enhancement of his life force field and further aided by the stellar power field, couldn't he then cause a regional earthquake with his own power?
if a celestial could already trigger a regional earthquake, then what about an even more powerful star master?
to destroy cities and demolish kingdoms with high-intensity earthquakes would be all too easy.
even more so...
those star masters standing at the very pinnacle might be able to tear apart continental plates, directly leading a civilization on a planet towards extinction.
further still, above the star masters, could they not directly shatter planets?
alkaid's form trembled slightly.
excited.
afraid.
too strong.
it was a living personification of a natural disaster.
it took a while for alkaid to calm his emotions slightly.
the stellar power field being used to trigger earthquakes and landslides was indeed effective for destroying buildings, but it might not be of any use in the battles at the celestial level.
after all, the opponent would flee.
no celestial would stand foolishly still while watching a mountain landslide bear down on them, allowing it to bury them.
so...
your adventure continues at empire
to deal with the rebirth society, to contend with that soul commander who usurped xie boen's body, suspected to be from the sixth fleet of moon demon empire's divine city conquest army, the power he could truly rely on was still his own strength.
"with the stellar power field trait, the subsequent process of drawing upon the pulse of the land and even the forces of heaven and earth to forge the celestial body will be greatly shortened. furthermore, the soul condensing pills from the snow dragon empire are sufficient to allow me to undergo the divine intent transformation...
if all goes well, in three to five months, i should be able to complete the forging of the celestial body and truly step into the celestial realm,"
alkaid estimated.
however, he knew that the rebirth society powerhouse who had taken over xie boen might not give him so much time.
...
just as he had guessed.
in just a month's time, the mysterious powerhouse who had usurped xie boen made an appearance.
he demonstrated the invincible force of a celestial reigning over a realm with the momentum of a thunderbolt, breaking into the snow dragon royal family.
even though the snow dragon xie family was well-prepared and had people don high-end battle armor with strong firepower, they still ended up torn apart and killed on the spot.
if the xie family's leaders hadn't acted quickly, deploying a small-yield hydrogen bomb over the palace to severely injure the mysterious powerhouse, it's likely that the entire xie family leadership would have been slaughtered by him.
this sudden turn of events left the xie family unnerved.
xie yi'er immediately sought out alkaid, pleading for him to personally take action and carry out a destructive retaliation against the rebirth society.
the snow dragon and the rebirth society had reached a point of irreconcilable enmity.
