CHAPTER 376: 291. THE WAY OF THE ANCIENT GOD, THE MUTATION OF STRONG MANIFESTATION_2

He was momentarily stunned.

This thing was precisely—a Rule Object.

Earlier, he had delved into the Ancient Remains Space and acquired a Rule Object formed by a wisp of Ancient God Power.

With the help of World Power and the assistance of the Primordial Star Formation, once he absorbed the Rule Object, a snowflake appeared in his mind.

Yang Fan focused his Heart Sense for a moment, and immediately a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes: "The Rule Object actually has such an effect?"

Without hesitation, he activated the snowflake.

The Strong Manifestation underwent a magical transformation in an instant.

Unseen snowflakes, visible only to himself, silently integrated into the Strong Manifestation.

Yang Fan marveled at the changes in the Strong Manifestation, utterly surprised: "Fascinating!"

A few months ago.

He, under the name of Mr. Ghost, obtained the highest access to the "Secret Scripture" and read a paper within it.

The title of this paper was—"A Brief Discussion of Superpowers".

The author was not just one person but more than twenty people.

They were all the most outstanding physicists of Great Xia.

From the perspective of modern physics, the fundamental forces of nature include: strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, and gravity.

These are the cornerstones that build the universe together.

The Superpower Research Institute of Great Xia once assembled a group of physicists to discuss the essence of Power.

And the scientists, armed with a pile of experimental data, argued behind closed doors for several days, eventually reaching a conclusion accepted by the majority.

Namely—the essence of Power is the interference of the human will with electromagnetic force.

To elaborate, the will of a Superpower User can influence the electromagnetic force between particles.

The electromagnetic force between two particles is minuscule, but amassed electromagnetic forces of innumerable particles can become truly terrifying.

Therefore, Power, this thing, seemingly unscientific, is actually very scientific.

Whether it’s Power or Strong Manifestation, at its core, it’s a type of "force".

As for Mental Superpowers.

Physicists also gave a logical explanation.

They believe that the various Mental Superpowers, such as fire, ice, and gusts, are essentially another fundamental force—weak nuclear force.

Why weak nuclear force evolved into such myriad, bizarre Superpowers was elaborated extensively in the paper.

Yang Fan read it several times and found it quite reasonable.

It is precisely because Superpowers originate from two different fundamental forces that they are divided into two different systems.

Namely, the physical Element and the Spiritual Element.

According to the scientists’ explanations, the two types of Superpowers should be distinct.

Like water and oil.

However.

The moment the snowflake fused with the Strong Manifestation.

Yang Fan was shocked to find that "water" and "oil" had actually fused.

Water representing the Strong Manifestation.

Oil being the snowflake.

They deeply integrated into one another, forming a peculiar state.

This completely overturned the conclusion of "A Brief Discussion of Superpowers".

Yang Fan suddenly gained a new understanding of the Ancient God: "The essence of the snowflake is indeed the Divine Power of an Ancient God. Its capabilities are not simple at all."

This was enough to suggest that Ancient Gods could integrate the physical and Spiritual Element Superpowers, or at least, they unified the existence of two fundamental forces.

Yang Fan couldn’t help but smack his lips: "So it seems I’ve discovered a path to the Ancient God Rank."

Yet this was of no practical use.

For he was far, far from becoming an Ancient God.

All he knew was that such a path existed, but where exactly it lay, how to proceed along it, and how many challenges lay along the way, he had no idea.

The only use was that Yang Fan could boast about it in the future.

In the future, when faced with a Mysterious Race strongman, he could speak with depth, saying, "I roughly know what the Ancient God is about," which could greatly startle his Mysterious Race guest.

Yang Fan suddenly assumed a stance and unleashed a punch through the air aimed at an ice-frozen Ice Tree a hundred meters away.

As the punch was thrown.

The Ice Tree remained unmoved.

A few seconds later.

"Boom!"

The Ice Tree suddenly shattered into countless tiny ice particles, with a puff of icy mist instantly pervading the surroundings.

In reality.

This punch didn’t seem particularly difficult, as powerful users of the physical Element Superpower could generally shatter an Ice Tree to powder with a single punch.

But this was just the surface.

This punch was indeed quite extraordinary, with a strength beyond imagination.

The process of the Ice Tree being pulverized began at the cellular level.

The Strong Manifestation, carrying Extreme Cold Power, infiltrated every cell of the Ice Tree.

The moisture inside the cells instantly crystallized into micro-ice crystals, which rapidly expanded, directly rupturing the cell walls.

The vast majority of cells burst open, completely destroying the tree’s structure, reducing it to a cloud of icy mist.

In comparison, a punch from a physical Element Superpower user would shatter the Ice Tree simply by exerting Power.

The two were fundamentally different.

The difficulty was worlds apart.

Yang Fan glanced at his fist, smiling with satisfaction: "The power of combining the snowflake with the Strong Manifestation shall be called ’Ice Gang’."

Although he had not yet achieved an Elemental Body and didn’t know how powerful the Elemental Spirit was.

He had an intuition that the power of Ice Gang was definitely no less than that of an Elemental Spirit.

With a slight thought, Yang Fan activated the Shuttle Boat, disappearing from the wilderness in an instant.

The next moment.

His figure appeared out of thin air in the living room on the second floor of a small two-story villa.

Yang Fan stretched lazily and lay down on the sofa.

His demeanor, whether standing or sitting, wouldn’t lead anyone to suspect that he was the first Middle Rank Warrior on Canglan Star.

"Woof!"

The Great Xia dog, Wang Zai, sensed its owner’s presence and barked happily, quickly bounding upstairs to the living room.

It charged all the way to Yang Fan’s side, wagging its tail vigorously.

As a conscientious watchdog, it was genuinely worried when its owner disappeared without a trace for half a day.

Yang Fan habitually patted the dog’s head, speaking in a great mood: "I’ll add a pound of beef to your dinner tonight!"

This dog, having awakened its Superpower Traits, had significantly increased in strength and its appetite as well, requiring a certain amount of meat in each meal.

An ordinary family would find it difficult to keep such a dog.

"Woof?"

Wang Zai expressed its confusion.

Yang Fan didn’t provide any explanation.

Wang Zai, without the guts to ask, barked again: "Woof! Woof!"

It was saying: Earlier, the female secretary came by. When she saw you were not home, she tidied up your room.

Although this watchdog was responsible for household chores, it did not include organizing its owner’s room.

Yang Fan walked into the bedroom and looked around; he could barely recognize it as his room.

The room used to be messy, with many things piled on the table and bedside for convenience.

Now it was so tidy that it lifted his spirits.

"Woof! Woof!"

Wang Zai was saying: "I can’t tidy up like Miss Ling does."

In household affairs, this dog rarely had moments of self-deprecation.

Yang Fan glanced around, feeling slightly nuanced in mood.

In Tiannan Province.

The banquet hosting the Five Countries in the Middle of East Continent was being held lively in the city hall’s banquet hall.

Although Great Xia was the nation with the largest reserve of resources worldwide during the Age of Calamity, the banquet dishes were modest enough to be called frugal.

Four people per table, each table having four dishes and one soup, with only one meat dish.

The only notable inclusion was a bottle of white wine per table, which was now rarer than meat.

In diplomatic occasions, this could be described as meager.

For Superpower Users, such scant offerings were not even enough to fill their gaps between teeth.

Yet, the four Superpower User representatives showed not the slightest dissatisfaction.

Perhaps there was some in their hearts.

But they certainly didn’t dare show it on their faces.

The incident where the Mutated Polar Bear slammed into Ouye, causing severe soul injury and a complete loss of any chance to become a Warrior, still loomed fresh.

This most formidable Superpower User of Sarifistan fell from the heights to the depths overnight.

The other representatives were deeply shaken, not daring to show any discontent afterwards.

Great Xia was no longer the Great Xia of old.

After multiple rounds of drinks.

A Great Xia representative suddenly said aloud, "Everyone!"

The banquet hall fell silent instantly.

The Great Xia representative smiled and said, "Recently, some unpleasant events occurred involving Great Xia’s enterprises in the Five Countries in the Middle of East Continent. I believe it is necessary to clarify today."

The representatives of the five countries immediately felt a twinge of tension.

If it were a day earlier, they wouldn’t have taken notice; after all, making things difficult for Great Xia people seemed trivial, but what could Great Xia do to us?

Now, no one dared disregard the words of the Great Xia people.

The Great Xia representative named a country: "There was one incident of a particularly severe nature in Gujarat."

The two representatives from Gujarat were breaking out in cold sweat.
