Chapter 256: Chapter 258: World Metamorphosis

’So that’s it. The Dean and the others didn’t come in just because the world consciousness rejected them—there was this other reason too!’

Andre watched the World Origin Space gradually change around him as his body began to expand continuously.

At that moment, Andre activated his Talent, Demonic Energy Frenzy, and at the same time, his Divine Art, Giant Form.

Empowered by these two forces, Andre’s height more than doubled, reaching over 50 meters.

But compared to the World Origin Space, a height of over 50 meters was but a drop in the ocean.

’How long are they going to keep me here before they let me out?’

Andre felt a sense of utter helplessness as he looked at the surrounding Chaos Magic Power, which had been converted from the Power of World Origin.

Just a moment ago, he had tried to open the Secret Realm to forcibly escape the World Origin Space.

But to his surprise, the Secret Realm wouldn’t open at all.

Faced with this situation, Andre could only attribute his failure to the fundamental difference between the Secret Realm and the Cosmic Sea World.

The Cosmic Sea World was a Level 5 World, while the Secret Realm was merely a spatial fragment, not even qualifying as a Level 1 World.

Given such a vast fundamental disparity, and the fact that he was currently inside the World Origin Space, it was perfectly normal that he couldn’t open it.

’I can’t be trapped here forever!’

Andre looked around. Although he was now surrounded by the Power of World Origin, the disparity in their Realms made it extremely difficult for him to absorb it.

Even though he walked the Path of Chaos Truth, it would still take him ten days just to absorb the Power of World Origin.

And that ten-day timeframe was only because a large amount of the Power of World Origin had accepted his Chaos Magic Power and converted into it.

’When things go too smoothly for too long, trouble is bound to be waiting for you.’

The corner of Andre’s mouth twitched as he recalled his gains inside the Multi-Body World.

Since he had transmigrated, he had experienced several different worlds.

Among all these worlds, his time in the Multi-Body World had been the easiest, and his rewards the greatest.

’Just my luck,’ Andre sighed, and began to try absorbing the Power of World Origin.

The world consciousness was using his Chaos Magic Power to absorb power from the Star Realm, giving birth to even more Power of World Origin.

Since he was being used as a tool, it was only right for him to collect a small toll.

Andre calmed himself and began to circulate the Chaos Meditation Technique, trying to absorb a single drop of the Power of World Origin. But no matter how he tried, the Power of World Origin simply wouldn’t draw near him.

’People usually bite the hand that feeds them, but you won’t even give the cook a single bite!’

Andre took a deep breath, but this very action sent him tumbling as he choked.

The breath he had just taken had nearly choked him to death on liquefied Chaos Magic Power.

’I’m inside the World Origin Space, where all sorts of Elemental Power has accumulated.’

’It’s different from the outside, where Magic Power is dominant and Elemental Power is scarcer.’

’Here, Elemental Power is abundant, while Magic Power is relatively scarce.’

Andre came to a conclusion after sensing the composition of power within the World Origin Space.

’Let’s take it slow.’ Andre adjusted his breathing and cautiously absorbed the Power of World Origin.

Even though Andre was extremely careful this time, the Power of World Origin still nearly caused him to burst.

’Worlds of different Levels have Power of Origin of different qualities.’

At this, Andre recalled a book he had read before and reduced the amount he was absorbing once again.

After this adjustment, the amount of Power of World Origin entering his body was significantly reduced.

HUFF, HUFF, HUFF! Andre carefully controlled his breathing, watching the Power of World Origin around him.

Before long, Andre became engrossed in the process of the Power of World Origin converting into Chaos Magic Power.

During this process, Andre clearly saw how the Power of World Origin, formed from various Elements, transformed into Chaos Magic Power.

’So that’s how it is. This part needs to be converted like this.’

Andre became lost in the process. As time passed, he absorbed more and more Power of World Origin, and the Chaos Magic Power within his body grew ever more abundant.

Just as Andre became absorbed in the conversion of Power of World Origin to Chaos Magic Power, a new change was occurring in the Cosmic Sea outside.

The Cosmic Sea World was now constantly contracting, and with this contraction, its internal Power was gradually strengthening.

The remnants of the great war, left behind from the world’s ascension, were being erased by the world consciousness.

At the same time, the Laws and Rules within the Cosmic Sea World were being perfected at an accelerated rate.

"What’s happening?"

Aboard the War Mother Ship, the Dean watched as the Cosmic Sea World continuously contracted.

Previously, due to the world consciousness’s overactivity, many had believed the Cosmic Sea World was on the verge of collapse.

But now, not only had the Cosmic Sea World avoided collapse, it was actually changing for the better.

This couldn’t help but make the Dean curious as to what had caused such a transformation.

Just then, the captain of the War Mother Ship hurried over to the Dean, holding a sheet of paper.

"Dean!" The Dean took the paper. After just one glance, his expression instantly darkened.

"Dean, this can’t be possible, can it?"

The captain asked cautiously, seeing the Dean’s grim expression.

"This is just a conjecture. But the fact that Andre and Angela dared to make it means the civilization within this world does indeed bear some resemblance to the Wizard Civilization."

"If their guess turns out to be true, it would actually be a good thing for us!"

"Other institutes have encountered worlds like this before."

"When faced with such a world, the usual procedure is to communicate with the Wizard Civilization Will and have it replace the original world consciousness."

"Then, the entire world will be pulled toward the ancestral lands by the Wizard Civilization Will."

"Once this step is complete, the institute will gain over a dozen new slots to the ancestral lands each year."

"In the blink of an eye, it’s already been 70,000 years since I left the ancestral lands."

After a brief moment of gloom, the Dean’s expression returned to normal, and a hint of nostalgia flickered in his eyes.

"Sigh, 70,000 years? Dean, has it really been that long?"

A nostalgic look also crossed the captain’s face.

He was able to serve as the captain of the War Mother Ship not only because of his own strength, but also because he was among the first to follow the Dean.

Now, hearing the Dean mention 70,000 years, he realized he himself had been following the Dean for 50,000 years.

"Yes, it has been a long time."

The Dean nodded and continued to gaze at the Cosmic Sea World before him.
