Chapter 99: The Speed of Brain Waves Increases Dramatically
As time passed, Yi Chen gradually began to ‘hear’ various sounds.
The heartbeat of the Little Gold Ball, the faint sound of air flowing…
To avoid experiencing the same issue as before, where his brain struggled to process too many mixed sounds, Yi Chen decided not to continue in that direction. Instead, he tried to expand this Perception Ability outward.
Unfortunately, there was still no progress.
He could only sense within about one meter.
It seemed that, at this stage, the maximum limit of his Perception Ability was only one meter.
Yi Chen didn’t mind; a one-meter limit was enough for him to create new skills.
As his realm increased, this limit would naturally grow.
He then began to use his Perception Ability to sense the smells around him.
Next, he focused on tastes.
Then on touch and feelings.
…
“What’s going on? What’s wrong with Yi Chen?”
“Usually, Yi Chen should be stabilizing his realm first and then creating skills suitable for this new realm.”
“But he’s neither training nor seems to be attempting to improve the pathway of energy circulation for the Spirit Law version of the Chaos Technique.”
In the live room, the audience was puzzled as they saw Yi Chen standing still, appearing to do nothing.
“Maybe he’s searching for inspiration to create new skills?”
“That’s possible; otherwise, it would be hard to explain.”
“If that’s the case, may the heavens bless him to find inspiration and prove those Experts and Scholars wrong!”
“It’s tough! Even if he’s the greatest genius in humanity’s history, he’s still working in isolation! At the very least, he should walk around and see things to spark his thoughts.”
Everyone’s eyes began to fill with intense anticipation.
Whether they were those who doubted Yi Chen could find inspiration for new skills or those who believed he could, everyone hoped he would create a new skill.
…
In the room, Yi Chen furrowed his brows.
His eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and consciousness.
He had successfully simulated these six senses using his Perception Ability.
With his Perception Ability, he could see details and directions that the eyes couldn’t detect.
With his Perception Ability, he could hear sounds that the ears couldn’t perceive.
Through his Perception Ability, simulating thought felt like his brain had switched to a different processor. Both the speed of activation and the speed of thought were astonishingly fast.
Yet, these abilities existed separately and independently.
They could only be considered a super-enhanced version of the six senses.
This was completely different from what he envisioned as divine consciousness, his seventh sense.
The enhanced six senses were far from meeting the conditions he needed to create skills.
The simplest skill he had wanted to create for a long time was the weapon refining technique.
To create this skill, his biggest limitation was that he couldn’t analyze all the characteristics of each type of spirit mine.
He also couldn’t observe and test how two, three, or even more spirit mines would interact together, whether their characteristics would conflict, enhance, blend, or react in other ways.
He needed a capability stronger than the enhanced six senses to perceive all the properties within the spirit mines, to sense the distinctions among these properties, and to evaluate the changes and stability of these characteristics…
Everything required feedback from several of the six senses at once, or even instant feedback from all the enhanced six senses.
‘Of course!’
A sudden realization surged within Yi Chen’s mind.
His idea of divine consciousness should be the integrated ability of the enhanced six senses.
Since that was the case, he could try to gradually merge the independently existing enhanced six senses together.
With a newfound clarity, Yi Chen began to try using his Perception Ability to sense the images and sounds around him simultaneously.
Although he had successfully developed the enhanced ‘eye sense’ and ‘ear sense,’ merging them into one seemed extremely difficult.
After more than ten minutes, he made slight progress.
Yi Chen patiently continued to understand and merge…
Until five or six hours later, he managed to successfully integrate the two.
Then, based on this foundation, he attempted to incorporate the ‘nose sense’ as well.
The difficulty seemed to increase even further.
Time flew by.
As the founder and pioneer, he had to rely on his own exploration, with no prior experience or materials to refer to, let alone someone to extract the essence and guide him.
Even with Yi Chen’s incredible talent, discovering divine consciousness still required gradual exploration and improvement.
…
“What’s going on? Yi Chen has been sitting there for most of the day, neither training nor improving the energy circulation pathways of the Chaos Technique.”
“Even if he’s deep in thought or seeking inspiration for new skills, he shouldn’t take this long, right?”
“Yes! If he’s thinking about new skills, after an hour with no insights, he should have stopped. It’s been half a day, and there are no signs that Yi Chen plans to finish.”
In the live room, all the viewers were confused.
“No, no, look at the scanner’s data. Yi Chen’s spirit power is being consumed.”
“What’s happening? The Little Gold Ball has already surpassed level 20; it doesn’t need to absorb Yi Chen’s spirit power anymore.”
Finally, someone, while bored and checking various scan data, noticed something unusual.
“Oh my gosh! Look at Yi Chen’s brainwave data review; sometimes, the speed is unimaginably fast!”
Someone suddenly became alarmed: “According to the data saved by the scanner, Yi Chen’s brainwaves travel between neurons at a speed of over a thousand meters per second!”
“Wow! Some special patients with mental disorders exhibit such extraordinary behavior because their brainwave speeds are too fast.”
“But even for these specific patients, the speed of brainwaves between neurons usually only exceeds normal people’s speed by several times, reaching a few hundred meters per second.”
“What does this mean? You can’t tell me that Yi Chen, because he thinks too much, has a brain problem and has become a mentally ill person with a thinking speed far greater than human reaction speed?”
“This is a disaster! Why did it become like this?”
The viewers in the live room panicked.
Soon, all of humanity was in a state of alarm.
“This isn’t how it should be! As our major realm increases, the reaction speed of humans clearly improves tremendously.”
“The central nervous system and neurons also get significantly enhanced. Even if the speed of brainwaves increases a dozen times, the central nervous system and neurons can easily cope with it.”
“After the reaction speed of the body improves greatly, theoretically, even if the brainwave speed increases tenfold, it can still coordinate effectively.”
“What do you mean?”
Many people didn’t understand.
“To put it simply, the speed of thought can, to some extent, also be explained as brainwave speed.”
“Just as spirit power flowing through acupoints varies, the information in brainwaves, processed by countless neurons, can generate commands similar to thoughts and ideas.”
“Theoretically, brainwave speed is not inferior to the speed of light. But because it must be processed by neurons, it isn’t fast—around a hundred meters per second.”
“Yi Chen’s brainwave speed spiking to over a thousand meters per second means his thinking speed has accelerated by more than ten times.”
“Logically, this would create a situation where he thinks about reaching for a candy one moment and then considers putting it in his mouth the next.”
“But the reality is, if his body’s reaction speed cannot keep up with his thoughts, he might still not grab the candy before his hand, halfway extended, goes back to put his hand in his mouth instead.”
“However, because his major realm has increased, his body’s reaction speed has also significantly improved, so this situation wouldn’t happen.”
“Since that won’t occur, a series of chain reactions that keep the body and brain from being synchronized won’t happen either.”
After this explanation, the viewers in the live room felt reassured again.
“So, you’re saying that Yi Chen has not developed a mental anomaly from overthinking?”
“Theoretically, yes, but the question is, why does his brainwave speed occasionally spike tenfold?”
“Could this be a side effect of breaking into a new major realm?”
“Maybe, but in the case where his body’s reaction speed can keep up, this side effect seems like a positive thing, right?”
“Wait! Everyone, be quiet; I have a question!”
Someone suddenly asked: “I’m a mech warrior, and I mostly operate through brainwaves to give commands.”
“If the speed of brainwave transmission between neurons increases tenfold, doesn’t that mean the movements of mechs can speed up tenfold?”
“Whether it’s mechs, fighter jets, or space battleships where instruments and devices are operated through brainwaves, as long as the intelligence processing speed keeps up and the hardware devices can keep pace, they can indeed speed up tenfold!”
The entire live room suddenly fell silent.
Everyone was thinking and understanding the implications behind these words.
