Chapter 95: Dark Forest (I) Picking up from the last chapter — after I woke, Silver Pearl gave me an enormous hug. There was something in that embrace—the warmth of family, and the bold, generous feeling of friendship. I had assumed that growing stronger would bring out something bolder in me, some new swagger. Instead, what I felt from Silver Pearl's arms was tenderness, a lingering, wistful warmth. It felt like home. I understood where that feeling came from — Xuanze and Hanming,…-

Chapter 94: The Crystal Palace and Cosmic Energy Picking up from the last chapter — Silver Pearl had suddenly hauled me into the air and flown straight for the largest stretch of swamp. I knew exactly what she was after: taking me back to her home beneath the water. That scared me half to death. I couldn't swim. Was she trying to drown me? Silver Pearl didn't care what I thought, and she paid no attention to my struggling. She pulled me straight down into the water. I hadn't expected it —…

Chapter 93: Silver Pearl, Xuanze, and Hanming Picking up from the last chapter — the giant crystal ball, that silicon-based life-form, had taken my two green jade tokens, and then, unbelievably, two lines of tears had slid from its eyes. I was completely lost. I couldn't tell whether this was good news or bad. My guess was that it recognized the tokens somehow. But what exactly was its relationship to the person those tokens belonged to? I had no idea, and I didn't dare ask. The giant…

Chapter 92: Cosmic Traps and Crystal Balls Picking up from last chapter: three strangers had wandered into a restaurant in that empty little town. No one in sight, the whole street deserted — and still they'd had the nerve to eat the food. I could barely keep from laughing. The three of them were stupid in the most endearing way, not one shred of suspicion between them. An entire town, empty as a tomb — didn't that strike anyone as a problem? Anyone who could even enter Future World started at…

Chapter 91: Robinson Crusoe on a Solitary Island Picking up where the last chapter left off: I had finally killed the white-robed giant. His force of consciousness, I discovered, was formidable, but his martial skill was nothing to speak of — mainly his movements were too slow. In the end I finished him off, and his skull burst apart across the ground. Killing him wasn't the point. Harvesting his force of consciousness was. The moment his head shattered, his sea of consciousness shattered along…

Chapter 90: Harvesting Strange Creatures Picking up where the last chapter left off: I'd started hunting the toad-like monsters in earnest, glad for the chance to build up my cosmic force of consciousness. Their consciousness in particular carried an obscure quality that let me see this world more clearly. The toad monsters had circled up and were spitting poisonous mist to keep me from closing in. That only sharpened my interest in the mist itself. If it could dissolve an opponent's force of…

Chapter 89: Yin Winds in the Air Picking up where the last chapter left off: Feng Du and I had talked about Future World, and sure enough, he knew a fair amount about it. He'd probably been there himself. What he'd told me would prove useful for my next move. I took my leave of Feng Du and made my way first to Dusk Bar. There, I spent most of the day talking with Fatty Huang, Du Xiaoran's code-body. Since the two of us had just discussed Future World in the real world already, our meeting mostly…

Chapter 88: Let Me Give You Some Guidance Picking up where the last chapter left off: Mother had just finished telling us the origin of the lotus-shaped green jade disk, and the tangled, unresolved relationship between it and the Myriad-Dimensional Brain. I still had questions, so I asked her, "Mother, according to the Fermi paradox, if extraterrestrial civilizations really exist in such numbers, why haven't we ever truly observed one? Even that saucer you described had no one inside it, and nothing…

Chapter 87: The Lotus-Shaped Green Jade Disk Picking up where the last chapter left off: after Du Xiaoran and I had talked for a while about the virtual Future World, we went our separate ways home. After all, walls have ears. The Elite World's surveillance technology was far more advanced than anything the Mundane World possessed. In the Elite World, everyone's movements and conversations—no matter where you were—ended up recorded in vast databases. So for anything that truly mattered, Du…

Chapter 86: How Dare You Meet Me in Your True Body As I said—Xiang Bianfeng never expected me to skip confronting his force of consciousness outright and instead grind it down into scraps using something he’d never seen before. That humiliation was eating at him now, sharp and furious. He noticed I’d dropped my invisibility while using my force of consciousness, and the urge to land a killing blow took hold of him. He drew qi into his body and thrust both hands toward me, fusing martial…
