Chapter 478: 267 “Third Transformation” and “Strange Sensations” (Please Subscribe)_1

The Abyss does not count time, yet time does not truly stand still.

It had been a very long time since Milton Cheney joined Order Seventeen.

During this time, Cheney didn’t completely clear his mind as he had done before.

As for the perception of the passage of time, Cheney also tried to sense it.

Therefore, he was very clear about approximately how much time had passed since he joined Order Seventeen.

“Thirty thousand years have passed, and the enhancement of my demon body is negligible,”

In a barren land, Cheney sat cross-legged on the ground, muttering to himself.

Indeed, it had been thirty thousand years since he was inscribed with the mark of Order Seventeen.

And this time was approximately sensed by Cheney, not a specific period.

How much time had truly passed, Cheney didn’t have an exact number in mind.

But he was clear that this time would only be longer than thirty thousand years, not shorter.

However, even after such a long time, the enhancement of Cheney’s demon body was not as significant as he had imagined.

There was some improvement, but it was not substantial.

The Cheney of now was no longer the one from before; he could clearly perceive the changes in his demon body.

After all, he had already undergone two complete Transformations of his demon body, and his Perceptual Ability was much stronger than before.

It was precisely because of this that Cheney could clearly know how much his demon body had changed.

In fact, this situation was within Cheney’s expectations.

Time indeed had a tremendous impact on the demon body, but only if it was a very long period of time.

The span had to be substantial.

The main reason Cheney had been able to undergo two Transformations and become a second-tier demon was that he was not affected by time during that process.

Once he understood this, Cheney naturally realized how long it had taken for him to transform from a demon spawn to a second-tier demon.

Although at that time Cheney had entered a state of completely cleared consciousness and couldn’t perceive the passage of time,

one could glimpse the leopard through the tube; from the growth process of his second-tier demon body, it was not difficult for Cheney to guess how long it had taken previously.

While Cheney could not guess the exact time, he could surmise a rough range.

At the very least, it had been hundreds of thousands of years; this was the result Cheney deduced.

Of course, this was merely a conservative estimate.

The actual time spent was definitely more than that.

Cheney was utterly clear about this point.

That’s why he knew that if he didn’t enter a state of cleared consciousness, it would be almost impossible for him to become a third-tier or even a fourth-tier demon in this world.

The amount of time required for that was just too long.

So long that Cheney might completely lose himself in this world.

After all, his current situation was different from when he had been in the Demon Mother River.

The current Cheney hadn’t entered a state of completely cleared consciousness.

So time affected him.

However, because Cheney had been through so many simulations before, these effects wouldn’t manifest in the short term.

But if the time span continued to lengthen, even Cheney would inevitably be significantly impacted.

Fortunately, thirty thousand years had passed, and Cheney had almost entirely grasped the structure of Order Seventeen.

Now, he was confident that he could enter the state of completely cleared consciousness once again.

After all, in the Crimson World, for different orders to wage a war, a lengthy preparation time was required.

During this period, Cheney had sufficient response time.

Moreover, not too much time had passed since Order Seventeen’s last outbreak of a large-scale order war.

So during this period, Cheney was highly likely to be safe.

It was somewhat coincidental; the timing of his joining Order Seventeen was just about perfect.

It seemed that luck was on his side this time.

With this in mind, Cheney hesitated no longer.

After sensing the environment around him once again and detecting no abnormalities, Cheney decisively chose to completely clear his mind.

At this moment, even if he wasn’t one hundred percent certain, he had a ninety-nine percent confidence level.

Nothing can ever be one hundred percent certain.

Rather than continuing to waste a great deal of time compensating for that last one percent, which might not even be possible to make up for,

Cheney ultimately chose to take a risk.

After all, he could bear the consequences of failure.

Sometimes Cheney’s choices were very prudent, but when it came time to take a risk, he would never flinch.

After Cheney had entirely entered the state of cleared consciousness, all perception of his surroundings ceased to exist.

In this state, Cheney could not just fail to perceive his environment.

He couldn’t even perceive the passage of time.

If nothing unexpected happened, Cheney would maintain this state until he reached the critical point of growing into a third-tier demon.

The time span involved was immensely vast.

Therefore, Cheney had also made preparations for unexpected events.

As long as such an accident did not involve other demons directly attacking him without reason, Milton Cheney would have enough reaction time.

In these thirty thousand years, Milton Cheney hadn’t been idle, he learned a lot.

The protection provided by Order Seventeen to each demon is tangible.

That’s also why Milton Cheney could now confidently enter a state of complete mental emptiness.

After all, he had to enter this state someday, so instead of continuing to waste time, the sooner the better.

Sometimes, thoughts and actions change as one’s understanding of the world deepens.

Milton wasn’t stubborn, on the contrary, he knew how to adapt.

That’s why he chose to enter this state even without one hundred percent certainty.

But since he had made his choice, there was nothing for Milton to worry about.

Even if a demon really did attack him forcibly without him reacting in time, the worst-case scenario would be an abrupt end to the simulation.

But what if this reincarnation simulation was forcibly terminated?

Milton couldn’t plan everything perfectly all the time.

If the reincarnation simulation were really forced to an end, then so be it.

After all, with the gains from this reincarnation simulation, Milton was already very satisfied.

Milton was greedy, but he wasn’t insatiable.

His choice to reincarnate in a world within the Reincarnation Abyss was initially just to broaden his horizons and test the waters.

At this point in the simulation, it had already achieved Milton’s goals.

With no risk of a loss, what does it matter if the choices he made were a bit risky?

Time slowly passed, and it was uncertain how much time had elapsed.

In the state of mental emptiness, Milton naturally couldn’t sense the passage of time.

So naturally, Milton had no idea how much time had passed since he emptied his mind completely.

In this wilderness, Milton’s demon body remained motionless.

Although he didn’t know how much time had passed, from the outside, Milton’s body didn’t seem to have changed at all.

At this moment, Milton’s body suddenly moved slightly.

The changes in his body were clearly reflected in his mind.

Milton also gradually came out of the state of complete mental emptiness.

As time went by, a moment later,

Milton realized that his perceptual ability had returned to normal, which meant he had recovered from the state of complete mental emptiness.

The reason for leaving this state was simple.

It was because his demon body had once again reached the critical point of transformation.

Yes, it was the critical point of the Third Transformation.

Milton didn’t sense his surroundings but directly perceived what changes were occurring in his demon body.

Indeed, once he began to sense the changes in his body, he understood how monumental they were.

“This time, perhaps hundreds of thousands of years have gone by.”

Sensing the changes in his demon body, Milton felt somewhat emotional.

If the changes to his demon body were so immense, then he must have remained in the state of complete mental emptiness for countless years.

With past experience, it wasn’t hard for Milton to guess how lengthy this period was.

But even with such a long time having passed, Milton himself was almost entirely unaffected.

This might be one of the greatest advantages of being a demon, or perhaps one of the greatest advantages of all races in the Abyss.

Time continued to pass, but Milton did not move at all.

He was waiting for the Transformation to come.

This time, he didn’t have to wait too long.

Perhaps it was hundreds of years, or maybe thousands.

Milton clearly sensed his body breaking through a threshold.

At the same time, the Transformation began.

Just like the previous two Transformations, Milton felt almost nothing during the process of Transformation.

Even if there were some sensations, he only felt as though his demon body was undergoing a change.

All was happening subtly and imperceptibly.

However, as time passed, Milton still noticed something different about this Transformation.

Unlike any of the previous Transformations, this time Milton clearly perceived that his Talent Ability seemed to be departing.

It was a peculiar feeling.

Departing, yet not departing.

It was as if this Talent Ability was merging into his demon body.

It felt somewhat like suddenly having an additional organ.

Although the sensation was strange, Milton still had no resistance to it.

The Transformation progressed slowly, and Milton absorbed the changes with a clear mind.
