Chapter 459 Eternal Will, Limitless Divine Body
Soon, Chen Yuan began cultivating according to the new plan, dividing all his consciousness into three parts: the main body continued to study life materials, while the Soul Devouring Beast clone began to comprehend the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation.
And most importantly, he devoted the vast majority of his consciousness to fighting against the oppressive will of the near-eternal late stage of eternity!
It can be said that, apart from the trace of consciousness left behind by the Nether Sea clone to maintain the transaction of the Primordial Tower, Chen Yuan had gathered back almost 99% of his consciousness, and ninety percent of that consciousness was used to temper his will.
Less than 10% of his consciousness remained, which was used to study and comprehend the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation.
Under such circumstances, Chen Yuan's research efficiency was predictably low.
Although gene research does not require much conscious involvement, Chen Yuan's sudden withdrawal of 90% of consciousness will definitely have a significant impact on research efficiency.
Compared to the previous few centuries, his research efficiency is now only about one-tenth, and progress is extremely slow.
On the other hand, the Rhino King's side doesn't require much effort; as long as the computing power supply is sufficient, they can smoothly solve the problem.
Fortunately, the other two cultivation methods don't require much computing power. Even when researching genes, his computing power was already far beyond what was needed. As for willpower confrontation, there was no need for any calculations at all.
This excess computing power is perfectly allocated to the clone to comprehend the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation.
Therefore, apart from the slow progress in gene research, the efficiency of the other two cultivation methods is quite good, and can even be described as rapid.
Especially the Rhinoceros King Bureau.
Previously, during the inheritance assessment of Duan Donghe, Chen Yuan only took eighty years to solve the first five thousand games, and that was with only ten thousand times acceleration.
Now, Chen Yuan is enjoying a speedup effect that is a thousand times greater. With the full support of Ireil's computing power, this most time-consuming and computationally-intensive training is progressing at an extremely fast pace.
Even though the difficulty of the Rhinoceros King's Game increases as the game is solved, Chen Yuan only took a short year to complete a thousand games and break through the sixth bottleneck!
And when he completed his 6000th endgame, his comprehension also improved slightly.
The bonus isn't much, only around 10%, mainly because Chen Yuan's comprehension has already exceeded the scope of the sixth bottleneck of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation, so the improvement is not significant, but it doesn't take much time either.
Chen Yuan felt it was a good deal to exchange a year for a 10% increase in comprehension.
Later on, although the difficulty of the endgame increases, the insights gained from solving it also increase significantly.
Chen Yuan spent eighteen years solving the 7000th endgame puzzle, and his comprehension increased by 30%.
Most importantly, these increases in comprehension are directly based on his existing comprehension level!
If we consider Chen Yuan's comprehension level before his seclusion as 1, then after breaking through the sixth bottleneck, his comprehension level reached 1.1, and now, after breaking through the seventh bottleneck, his comprehension level is 1.43.
If there is another breakthrough, his comprehension will continue to increase proportionally from 1.43, like a snowball rolling downhill, accumulating more and more.
Not to mention, this was just an improvement in comprehension achieved through the "Rhinoceros Emperor's Bureau" alone.
His real improvement in comprehension during this period certainly goes beyond these, also including some improvements brought about by his willpower and genetic research.
If all these improvements were added, Chen Yuan felt that his comprehension was now about 1.5 times better than before he went into seclusion.
"My choice was definitely right."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "Without the Rhinoceros King Bureau and the tempering of my will, if I had buried myself in studying the genetic structure, the improvement in my comprehension would probably have been negligible. It's nothing like now, where I've directly improved by 50%."
This is even before his willpower has broken through!
If Chen Yuan were to break through to the level of Eternal True God's Will, its strength would increase a hundredfold. Although his comprehension would not increase a hundredfold as well, it would certainly increase by several dozen times, and that would be based on his current level.
The higher the foundation, the greater the improvement in values, and the stronger the foundation becomes—that's the snowball effect!
As this cycle continues, Chen Yuan's comprehension will soar like his left foot stepping on his right, reaching for the sky and widening the gap between him and his initial level.
"This is the correct way to cultivate!"
Chen Yuan slowly exhaled: "By exchanging short-term gains for long-term improvement, the higher my foundation is built up, the more terrifying the future gains will be."
"The changes may not be noticeable in just a few hundred years, but the longer I cultivate, the more astonishing the effects of this improvement will become."
Having witnessed the changes in just nineteen years, Chen Yuan is now full of confidence in the path he has chosen.
Keep up the good work!
He quickly returned to his cultivation.
In the Rhinoceros Emperor's Challenge, the difficulty Chen Yuan encountered began to soar, mainly because after breaking through the seventh bottleneck, the endgame he faced was approaching the limit of his comprehension, so solving each game required a lot of his time.
However, Chen Yuan was not disappointed; on the contrary, he was pleasantly surprised because he understood that the rewards and difficulties of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Bureau were directly proportional.
The more difficult the endgame, the more exaggerated the improvement in comprehension will be in the end.
Therefore, Chen Yuan is not afraid of being slow to solve the problems, but he is afraid that the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation is too simple, which will prevent him from getting the improvement he deserves.
Fortunately, Rhino King's Game lives up to its reputation as a game that is popular all over the Origin Continent. It is suitable for all ages, and even the God King will occasionally study a couple of rounds. Its difficulty is indeed worthy of its name.
Thus, after 7000 games, Chen Yuan's speed in solving games began to decline significantly, and it took him a full 260 years to finally break through the eighth bottleneck.
Then, Chen Yuan's comprehension suddenly surged, doubling from its original level!
"Wow, that's ridiculous."
Chen Yuan was taken aback by the magnitude of the improvement.
It's important to know that he didn't waste those two hundred years. Through the tempering of his will and the influence of genetic research, his comprehension foundation is now twice as strong as it was before he went into seclusion!
The improvement here is largely due to willpower, accounting for as much as 90%!
Yes, although Chen Yuan's will has not yet broken through to the level of Eternal True God, he can feel that his will has surpassed the peak of the ordinary Void level.
Compared to when he first reached the peak of the Void level, his willpower is now three times stronger.
Therefore, Chen Yuan's comprehension improved slightly as a result.
After he broke through the eighth bottleneck of the Rhinoceros Emperor Formation, his basic comprehension doubled, making Chen Yuan's comprehension value reach a terrifying "4"!
"My comprehension is getting stronger and stronger."
Chen Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that my willpower hasn't broken through yet. According to my teacher, the more difficult the situation, the less I should rush it; I should let it 'overflow naturally when it's full.'"
In fact, Chen Yuan himself didn't understand why his will had surpassed the peak of the Void level but he hadn't been able to break through. So he took some time to go out and specifically consult Master Zuoshanke.
As expected of the reincarnation of a god-king, the mountain dweller was knowledgeable and experienced. He immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of Chen Yuan's mental will and, in his delight, answered his questions.
Although the "God King of Jin" in his previous life was only at the first level of the God King realm, he still lived for a long time.
Although he had never seen a system of mental consciousness, given the unique environment of the continent of origin, there were many beings born with extraordinary mental consciousness, who could be said to be born with a rudimentary system of mental consciousness.
This situation was regarded as a special talent in terms of mental will by the powerful on the Origin Continent, so there are quite a few records about these talents.
The Mountain Guest had seen similar records in his previous life, so he told Chen Yuan directly that this talent would make his mental will strength naturally higher than that of normal people.
Just like the difference between ordinary life and special life, everyone's genes are inherently different, and their potential is naturally different as well.
Therefore, the mental limits of a normal person are not Chen Yuan's limits.
The reason his willpower has surpassed its limit is precisely because he has not yet reached his own upper limit.
In this situation, Chen Yuan doesn't need to rush. He just needs to continue honing his skills. When his will truly reaches the limit of his mind's capacity, he will naturally enter the next stage.
In other words, water overflows when the container is full.
Chen Yuan still remembers that when Master Zuoshanke revealed this news, his eyes were filled with undisguised envy, saying that his kind of spiritual talent made it much easier for him to break through compared to ordinary people.
He gave a simple example: when it comes to breaking through to a higher realm, a normal person jumps directly from 1 to 100, while a person with special talents can first raise their mental will to 3, 5, or even 10 before transitioning to 100.
The former requires a 100-fold increase, while the latter only requires a 10-fold increase. The difficulty between them is naturally incomparable and is not as simple as a ten-fold difference.
Because human potential has its limits.
For an average person, a jump from flat ground can reach 1 meter, and with a little more effort, they might be able to break through to 1.5 meters.
No matter how hard this person tries, it is impossible for them to jump 10 meters high; that is beyond the reach of ordinary humans.
However, for such gifted individuals, whose normal jump height is five or six meters, they can easily clear a height of ten meters with just a little practice.
Therefore, although the difference between major realms is a hundredfold, the difficulty of breaking through is not so simple at all, and the success rate of breaking through is not one in a hundred.
But even with such an immense gap, for someone with Chen Yuan's special talent, as long as he reaches his own limit, he can naturally and smoothly transition to the next realm.
As long as his willpower can be strengthened, there's no need to rush.
The Mountain Guest also said that even those with special spiritual talents could not easily cross this hundredfold barrier; otherwise, there would be no need to distinguish between these major realms.
According to the records of the Origin Continent, the person with the highest spiritual talent in history only exceeded the limit by ten times. Once the person's will met the limit conditions, the advancement was completed almost instantly.
However, such a tenfold limit of talent is just an exception. For the average talented person, achieving three to five times the potential is already quite good.
Chen Yuan's willpower has now exceeded three times its normal strength, and it may be approaching its limit. All that's left is to wait.
After learning the reason, Chen Yuan let his will continue to be tempered, and also moved the Tomb Ship closer to the stone pillar to maintain this extreme confrontation effect.
However, to his surprise, two hundred years later, his will was five times stronger than at its peak, yet he still had not reached his limit!
"It seems that the mental consciousness system I built myself is not bad. Even compared with those gifted individuals, it is still considered genius."
"I don't know if it's due to the 'Hundred Refinements System,' the perfection of the Sitting Meditation Method, or both."
Chen Yuan was pleasantly surprised by this, which meant that even in the Origin Continent, where powerful individuals were numerous, his mental talent would be among the absolute top tier.
"Right now, I don't know what my true limit is."
After realizing that his will was not yet fully fulfilled, Chen Yuan moved the tomb ship further inside and then went into seclusion again.
Time flies, moving forward one hundred years at a time.
Chen Yuan's will maintained a near-limit level of pressure, and thus it continued to steadily improve, but he never managed to reach his own limit.
On the contrary, the research on the Rhinoceros King's Endgame finally solved the 9000th endgame 780 years after breaking through the eighth bottleneck, and successfully broke through the ninth bottleneck!
Over the years, his comprehension has gradually improved to "5". With this surge, it instantly reached 15, which is three times the previous level!
"This is getting more and more terrifying."
Chen Yuan never expected that in just over a thousand years, he would achieve a gene research efficiency that surpassed his previous peak, even after taking away most of his consciousness!
"Moreover, I haven't wasted these years."
"With the help of new materials, the progress of gene research has been greatly accelerated."
His research progress has now increased from 48.75% a thousand years ago to 76.48% today, and he is not far from truly breaking through the barrier of the "infinite divine body".
"Most importantly, I finally felt the limits of my mental will."
Chen Yuan closed his eyes, sensing the incredibly powerful primordial spirit deep within his soul. Compared to a thousand years ago, his willpower was now nearly ten times stronger.
"It seems that the upper limit of my willpower should be ten times, comparable to the number one person with the greatest mental talent in the history of the Origin Continent."
"Due to the restrictions of the supreme rules, the Mountain Guest did not reveal the name of this person, only saying that this person was already a top expert in the Origin Continent and was still alive."
As for who it is, we'll only know after he passes through the cycle of reincarnation.
Chen Yuan continued to hone his will with high expectations, and sure enough, just eighty years later, his will finally reached the limit of his own mind, exceeding the limit tenfold!
Then, without warning, Chen Yuan felt the oppressive feeling that had been shrouding his mind suddenly ease.
"Am I... forever?"
Chen Yuan was taken aback. Just as his teacher had said, he felt nothing at all, unlike his previous breakthroughs where he had experienced a significant leap in performance.
"This is what they mean by water overflowing when it's full—"
He sensed his current state and found no major changes. It was simply that his will had increased tenfold on the original basis, allowing his mental will to smoothly transition to the early stage of the Eternal True God.
However, although his willpower only increased tenfold, the transformation of his spiritual essence was a real leap forward, which also brought about a leap in Chen Yuan's comprehension.
Yes, Chen Yuan could only use the word "leap" to describe the improvement in his comprehension, because compared to this, any previous improvement seemed like a minor oversight.
"Fifty times————"
Chen Yuan muttered to himself, "My comprehension has actually increased fiftyfold from its original level."
This is an improvement based on the original 15-fold!
In other words, his comprehension has increased by a full 750 times compared to a thousand years ago!
This is an incredibly terrifying number; even crossing a major realm wouldn't result in such an exaggerated increase.
"In any case, this is a good thing."
Chen Yuan was overjoyed by this result, as it meant that when he resumed his full-fledged research on genes, he would make explosive progress.
"If that's the case, then what am I waiting for?"
Chen Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately rearranged his consciousness allocation, preparing to devote most of his consciousness to the research of life genes.
As for tempering his will, there's no need to stop; it's just that his consciousness isn't as prominent as before. Anyway, he has already achieved his goal, and even if there are further improvements, they won't bring about such an exaggerated change as today.
Unless his will breaks through the Chaos Dominator.
As for the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau—he did not give up either, and this cultivation does not require much consciousness, as long as the computing power is sufficient, which Chen Yuan has no shortage of.
After his comprehension underwent a transformation, Chen Yuan looked at the endgame again and found that the parts that were previously obscure and difficult to understand had become much simpler, which inspired him and made his problem-solving efficiency significantly improve.
Of course, no matter how much progress is made, it won't be as fast as the progress in life and genetic research.
Because the research over the years had exhausted the life materials of the eleventh and twelfth universes, Chen Yuan went out again and brought back brand new materials.
The complete materials of the thirteenth and fourteenth universes, and a portion of the materials of the fifteenth universe.
Indeed, a thousand years have passed, and Irelia is already developing the fifteenth interdimensional universe, and this material has also injected new variables into Chen Yuan's research.
After regaining most of his consciousness, coupled with his comprehension increasing hundreds of times and the new life materials, the combination of these three factors directly brought about a qualitative change in Chen Yuan's research.
In just one day, his research progress increased by a full 1%, and he was only 12% away from his goal of becoming an Infinite Divine Body!
Upon seeing this result, Chen Yuan immediately threw himself into it.
As time went by, his research underwent new changes every day, and he got closer and closer to the final limit.
Just 82 days later, Chen Yuan's progress finally reached 99.99%!
"Just one step away!"
Upon discovering this, Chen Yuan was thrilled and immediately took out the next piece of material to begin studying it.
Then, somewhere on your own life structure diagram, make a light stroke.
boom!
In an instant, the body of the original Earthling transformed into the most basic divine power, and then began to reorganize under some influence.
When the reborn Chen Yuan reappeared in the same spot, his body, which was originally hundreds of meters tall, shrank again, easily reaching a height of about two meters.
"It's done!"
Chen Yuan clenched his fists, feeling the power within his body. He felt a surge of energy, yet also extreme weakness. This was because only his divine body had broken through, but his divine power had not been fully replenished.
With the power supplied by the Dark Sea clone, the Earthling's main body quickly became fuller. At the same time, Chen Yuan also clearly felt for the first time that after the Dark Sea clone replenished his divine power, the divine power of the clone was significantly reduced.
This is naturally because after he completed his infinite divine body, the maximum height of the Earthling's divine body also increased dramatically to 2.4 light-years, so the amount of divine power that needed to be replenished was naturally enormous.
Over the years, the Dark Sea clone has been continuously increasing in size, reaching a diameter of 8 light-years, which is why it can supply the divine power of the main body.
Once his divine power was fully replenished, Chen Yuan sensed the surging divine power within his body and experienced for the first time what it meant to be "endless".
Compared to before his breakthrough, his total divine power had expanded by countless trillions of times, giving him the feeling that he could never run out of it no matter how much he squandered it.
"With so much divine power, even if you unleash the highest level of 'Annihilation' and burn divine power, it would probably burn for tens of thousands of epochs."
Chen Yuan's expression was somewhat strange. What would be a desperate move for others was just a normal skill for him, something he could use at will?
"No wonder Duan Donghe made 'Severance' one of his core inheritances. It turns out he was considering the connection between this secret technique and the Infinite Divine Body."
If this terrifying burst of power becomes the norm, the increase in strength would indeed be terrifying, no wonder it has become a core skill.
Shaking his head, Chen Yuan quickly turned his attention back to himself, sensing his current genetic level.
"As expected, my genetic level is more than 90,000 times higher."
Perhaps due to the effects of life forms from more than a dozen dimensional universes, after breaking through the bottleneck of the Infinite Divine Body, Chen Yuan's genes did not simply increase to 90,000 times, but rather experienced another surge.
His gene count has now increased by 94800 times!
