The Source Form flowed into Lu Zhiyu’s mind structure, and he felt his mind power growing again. He could feel himself approaching his limit of his meditation, and he knew that if he kept going, he could become assimilated into this zero-dimension world. At this moment, Lu Zhiyu realized that he could not pull back his mind power. His mind power had an intense transformation in this unique space. All of his mind power clamored like water approaching the boiling point.
He felt his mind power and his consciousness melding together. As the two began fusing, every shred of his consciousness became imprinted with his mind power. It seemed like his mind power was enough to hold his mind. Before, even though he had his mind power, his mind, thoughts, and memories were still dependent on his brain. After breaking through into this stage, it seemed as though his mind power could store all of Lu Zhiyu’s consciousness.
“I didn’t expect that my consciousness and mind power are starting to fuse together! The current strength of my mind power is strong enough to carry my consciousness?”
Before this, even though Lu Zhiyu possessed mind power, his will, thoughts, memories and feelings were all stored within his brain. His mind power was merely a sensory ability that was an extension of the brain. It did not represent Lu Zhiyu.
However, from now on, Lu Zhiyu could place his conciousness on his mind power, allowing his mind power to carry his thoughts and will. This was an idea in Lu Zhiyu’s mind. It was just a possibility, but Lu Zhiyu had not began his experiments.
Once the change of his mind power was completed, he immediately retracted his mind power from the zero-dimension world and recovered to his original state.
Lu Zhiyu stood up. When he felt the change, he thought of a lot of things, especially the more important ramifications. If he could really store his will, personality and memories onto his mind power, then Lu Zhiyu would truly have stepped into a supernatural state and possess true supernatural power.
Normally, there was a limit to how much information a brain of a human being could hold. An average human’s brain could only hold around five-hundred million books’ worth of content. However, this also included everyday memories like images, sounds, the subconscious or the like. These things took up a large portion of a person’s memory capacity! The brain was not infinite, and it couldn’t hold infinite knowledge. There was also a 0.1 second lag between the brain firing a neuron and the information that was perceived. Human intelligence and the speed of the brain in processing information is also limited by this 0.1 second lag. There would be a 0.1 second wait everytime one deliberated a question.
If there was no limit to how much the brain could hold and the lag time between sensing and perception was decreased, boosting the speed of processing information to 0.001 seconds or even faster, that would mean that he could complete a day’s worth of calculation and thinking in a just a minute. It would be a breakthrough in human intelligence.
This thought excited Lu Zhiyu, “How can I store my consciousness and will onto the mind power? A person’s consciousness and memories are all stored within the brain. If I were to change anything for my consciousness, I would have to start with my brain. What if I imprint every cell in my brain with my mind power?”
He immediately began his work. He sent his mind power to infiltrate one of his brain cells and left an imprint. He could immediately feel the connection between this cell and his mind power. It was as if he could control the cell, and he could feel it even if it was out of his body.
“It’s working!”
He could feel his mind power welling out from a nameless and magical spot, slowly infiltrating into his brain. It wasn’t just entering the organ; it was entering each of the individual cells. He wanted to control his power, but found that he could not stop it. The mind power was like water rushing through a broken dam, and he could only watch it change his brain. He had changed his brain once before, dividing it into a main brain and a sub-brain, but this time it was completely different. He could sense the mind power permeating each cell, leaving an imprint on every cell’s nucleus. He realized that this was not a bad thing, and he stopped trying to prevent the mind power from doing so. The mind power immediately began assimilating his brain. All the cells in his brain were infiltrated and imprinted by his mind power. It was as if his brain had been enveloped by a ball of clear water, and every single cell was cleansed by his mind power.
Physically speaking, there was no change made to the cells in his brain. However, from the mind power perspective, his entire brain now was imprinted with his mind power. Each of his brain cell was now merged into his mind power.
Lu Zhiyu could feel his brain was completed activated. Countless memories and emotions, thoughts, his personality, and even the sub-brain programming became one with his mind power. Lu Zhiyu called these cells the mind-power-activated cells, or deified cells for short. After his cells were deified, he could sense every single cell. If one day half of his brain got destroyed, he would still be able to fix it using the power of deified cells from other parts of the brain. This was not about controlling his cells. It was more about how every single cell represented his very will.
When all the cells were deified, Lu Zhiyu felt his brain rumble, as if something had exploded within the brain. He slipped into darkness. He saw that he had fallen into a strange and unknown dimension. He could see limitless information in the darkness. That was all of his memories, from the time when he was a child up until now. Lu Zhiyu raised his head to see a large silver hourglass floating in midair, and he himself became a figure of light, standing in the middle of this world.
“This is my mind power space, I can also call it my mind dimension. As for myself, this being of me is made up of pure mind power, or should I say that I have materialized my own soul? I might be the first person on Earth to fully materialize my soul!”
Lu Zhiyu acted immediately. The fusing of his mind power and brain had created a wonderful transformation. Lu Zhiyu shouted, “Sub-brain!”
“The sub-brain is awaiting orders!”
A translucent window appeared in front of him. Lu Zhiyu was elated to discover that not only was his normal brain deified, his sub-brain was also deified. The abilities of the sub-brain had also been brought over.
“Record the characteristics of the mind power and start developing and expanding the applications of the mind power!”
“Recording in progress!”
Lu Zhiyu smiled. Prior to this moment, the sub-brain could not feel mind power, nor could it document anything related to mind power neither. Lu Zhiyu was quite reactive when it came to the development of his mind power previously!
“Reorganize my memories. Categorize them along with all other information!”
“Set up a mind power information library!”
Lu Zhiyu could feel that his brain was working much faster, almost twice as fast as before. There was still a limit, but that was inevitable due to the limits of his cells, as well as the limits of his mind power. He knew that he would only get stronger from here, with the evolution of his cells and improvements of his mind power. His calculation speed would become faster and faster!
He jumped out of his bed, feeling as though he was wrapped by a spiritual glow and that he was now much smarter than before. His originally already captivating eyes seemed to be able to glow. He could tell that three people were walking by his room without using his mind power, a waiter, a man and a woman. He could also tell their height and weight through their footsteps. A man was upstairs watching soccer and a couple were taking a shower downstairs. He walked over to the window and pushed it open. He sniffed the air, and sensed through the humidity and pressure of the air, “It’s going to rain at night, um...about five hours from now.”
