The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 511 Another Timeline! (Please Subscribe)

Between the real world and the supernatural, an extremely black sphere floats in a void.

The black sphere exuded an extremely terrifying eerie aura!

This is a prison built by dark forces, bringing together all the supernatural elements, with a 'parallel world' as its framework.

The purpose was to trap Mu Sheng's Golden Ghost Prison so that it could be refined and devoured.

Mu Sheng has always been the one refining others, but now it's finally his turn to be refined.

"Local world consciousness is so rude!"

Inside the black sphere, Mu Sheng was furious when he saw the golden material that formed the foundation of Ghost Prison being shaken.

At this moment, he understood perfectly well that the world consciousness had betrayed him.

Ghosts cannot be killed!
The only thing that can fight against ghosts is ghosts!

Supernatural forces cannot affect the golden substance!

These are the three universally acknowledged laws in the paranormal community. Everyone accepts the existence of these three laws, but no one has ever figured out the root cause behind them.

Leaving aside the first two laws, the third law alone is quite strange!
Supernatural powers can alter terrain, manipulate time and space, and modify human cognition and memory.

Yet it could not affect a substance that humans had named gold.

What's even stranger is that these kinds of vengeful ghosts, like the Deceitful Ghost and the Wish-Giving Ghost, can create things out of thin air.

From a scientific perspective, this is no longer just manipulation of molecules and atoms; it goes far beyond the manipulation of electrons and quarks at a deeper level.

Such powerful supernatural forces, however, could not affect the gold molecules.

There's clearly a big problem!
The reason for this became clear to Mu Sheng when he stepped into the Land of Origin and came into contact with the world's consciousness.

The reason why supernatural forces cannot affect the golden substance is because of the power of the Heart of the World.

Without the corruption of dark forces, this world would have developed a transcendent system based on the power of gold.

The reason why supernatural forces cannot affect gold is that the world's consciousness chose gold as its substance when it was fighting against the forces of darkness.

The supernatural and gold are essentially dark forces and world consciousness.

So when Mu Sheng saw the golden foundation stone in the Ghost Prison being shaken, he immediately thought that the world consciousness was behind it.

"Damn it! Why is it so hard to be a good person?"

"Should good people be held at gunpoint?"

"Serves you right for being invaded by dark forces!!!"

Mu Sheng grew angrier the more he thought about it, partly because he had never dealt with the world's consciousness before.

The previous two instances of taking advantage of promotional offers do not count!
He had assumed that world consciousness was an absolutely rational, mechanical form of thought.

We will abide by the agreement they made!
Who would have thought that this thing would be just like a human, calling you brother one second and turning your back on you the next.

"You want to refine me? Not so easy!"

Mu Sheng was not about to sit idly by and wait for his death. With a thought, golden light shone brightly in the Golden Ghost Prison.

Countless forces of law materialized from the void, and he reclaimed all the divine weapons bestowed upon him.

Even the supernatural power that sustained the existence of the ghost slaves was summoned back.

Although this would cause drastic changes in the real world, Mu Sheng couldn't care less about that at the moment; the bigger picture was what mattered.

But for Mu Sheng, the overall situation has always revolved around him!
With this surge of power, the Golden Ghost Prison became even more solid.

The once-shaken golden foundation has been stabilized again.

at this time.

A force distinctly different from the supernatural acted upon the Golden Ghost Prison, bypassing the blockade of the dark forces.

Seeing that the dark forces were helpless against Mu Sheng, the world consciousness intervened itself.

Its failed attempt to cultivate golden power amplified the impact on the foundation of the Golden Ghost Prison.

"Boom!"

The Golden Ghost Prison trembled once more, and cracks appeared on Mu Sheng's statue. The golden runes imprinted on the Ghost Prison dimmed.

Even the million golden pillars in the fifth level of the Ghost Prison began to melt like ice and snow.

Dark forces seized the opportunity and a large amount of black mud poured into the Golden Ghost Prison, its terrifying supernatural power eroding every inch of space within.

"bring it on!"

"Let's refine each other!"

"You want to refine my golden power, and I happen to want to use your resources to forge the Seventh Golden Ghost Prison!!!"

Faced with the erosion of dark forces, Mu Sheng felt no fear whatsoever, and his ghostly body completely merged into the Golden Ghost Prison.

With an unbreakable will, it controlled the entire Golden Ghost Prison and began to forcibly refine the dark power.

[Golden Ghost Prison Level 6↑: 1%]

In the void of the supernatural space, black and gold intertwined, like two snakes with their tails connected.

As black swallows a trace of gold, gold melts away a portion of black.

The two became completely intertwined.

Just as the Golden Ghost Prison and the dark forces were intertwined, the world consciousness swiftly withdrew its power, constructing a primordial seal around the gold and black.

Clearly, the world's consciousness intends to eliminate the dark forces and Mu Sheng in one fell swoop.

From the perspective of the world's consciousness, there is no essential difference between Mu Sheng and the dark forces; both are thieves who covet its origin.

"Do you think you can trick me, Mu Sheng, like this?"

"Hmph! A mere world consciousness, it doesn't even know what a cheat is!"

Mu Sheng noticed the actions of the World Consciousness and revealed a disdainful smile.

No matter how much the world consciousness schemes, it could never have foreseen the existence of the refining panel.

Although Mu Sheng was unsure of the limits of the refining panel, he was certain that the panel's rank was definitely higher than that of the mysteriously revived world consciousness.

The seal constructed by the power of origin was gradually completed, and the dark power and the Golden Ghost Prison were finally sealed away.

Mu Sheng withdrew his gaze, his entire mind immersed in refining the dark power.

"Once I've refined the dark power, the next one will be me."

Caught between the real world and the supernatural, the world's consciousness dragged the primordial seal, casting it into the deepest reaches of spacetime.

Just as Mu Sheng had guessed, the world consciousness had been planning this day from the very beginning.

At the very beginning of this world's creation, a dark force drifted from the endless void and invaded this world.

Given the sheer size of this mysteriously resurrected world, even a newly formed place cannot be eroded by a single dark force.

However, this dark power also carries the power of laws that the mysterious resurrected world desperately craves.

In order to rapidly strengthen the world's primordial power, the mysteriously revived world swallowed this poisoned wine.

The price was that dark forces, like maggots clinging to bones, took root firmly in the very essence of the world.

If it's just that, it's fine; at worst, it will turn into a dark world.

After all, there is no distinction between good and evil in the world itself.

Between the weak world of light and the powerful world of darkness, every world will choose the stronger one!

The problem is that this dark power has its own consciousness, and as this consciousness grows stronger, it begins to vie with the world's consciousness for control of the mysteriously revived world.

This can't be tolerated!

Just then, Mu Sheng appeared and became the key to breaking the deadlock in the world's consciousness.

This ultimately led to the current situation.

real world.

The fourth month since Mu Sheng disappeared.

The divine weapons within the bodies of hundreds of thousands of warriors vanished inexplicably, and the ghost slaves maintaining order at the seven bases also turned to ashes in an instant. The billion survivors quickly descended into chaos!
The disappearance of the supernatural is not important, nor is the ghost slave turned to ashes.

Importantly, as the supernatural power disappeared, the food that Mu Sheng had created using supernatural means also vanished.

Since ancient times, food has been the most important thing for people!

When people have enough to eat, they are law-abiding citizens who are self-disciplined.

But if the people go hungry, they could turn into a mob at any time!

"Chaos! Everything's in chaos!"

"Yang Jian, what should we do now?"

Zhao Jianguo looked at Yang Jian with a worried expression. In this situation, he could only rely on Yang Jian.

With the supernatural gone, only a few individuals, such as Yang Jian and Su Lei, can still maintain a semblance of power in the entire human civilization.

Although the supernatural phenomena disappeared with the dark forces and Mu Sheng, Yang Jian, Su Lei, and others who possessed divine positions still survived.

Even though they lost all their supernatural 'superpowers', their divine status still allowed them to retain a portion of their extraordinary physical strength.

"The food reserves are only enough for one week's consumption, and what about the people?"

As Zhao Jianguo spoke, he unconsciously clenched his fist.

If it weren't for Mu Sheng, humanity would have been destroyed by the supernatural outbreak long ago.

As a result, Mu Sheng had only been missing for a few months when something happened, and those people started stirring up trouble again.

Yang Jian knew who Zhao Jianguo was referring to, and shook his head, saying, "Let them be. Without food, there's no point in doing anything now."

"Instead of trapping everyone in the base, let them cause trouble, split up, and find a way to survive outside."

"And there's nothing we can stop!"

Yang Jian clenched his fist, feeling the power within him enough to kill a bull with a single punch, yet a sense of powerlessness welled up within him.

The ghost eye disappeared, the headless ghost figure vanished without a trace, and more importantly, the supernatural powers of the vengeful ghosts in the Golden Ghost Prison could no longer be used.

If it cannot be turned into food, no matter how strong his physical strength is, it will still be of no use.

"The power of the divine position is still there, which means Mu Sheng is not dead!"

"wait!"

"Once Musheng returns, everything will be fine."

"What if..." Zhao Jianguo hesitated for a moment, a shadow falling over his face, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "...he can't come back?"

"No, I believe him!"

Yang Jian said firmly, "Don't overthink it. Once Mu Sheng returns, everything will be fine."

"By the way, where are Su Lei and the others?"

"Them? Now."

Just as Zhao Jianguo was answering Yang Jian's question, a flash of white light suddenly appeared in the sky.

It was a pure, pristine white!
The white light instantly enveloped the Kangjin Base, and from its center, it rapidly spread throughout the world at the speed of light waves.

In that instant, time stood still!

Then everything began to disappear; the reinforced concrete buildings vanished, and the billion survivors burst like bubbles.

Zhao Jianguo, Xiong Wenwen, Tong Qian, Li Jun, Wang Xiaoming
Everyone's expression froze at the moment the white light appeared.

The world has restarted!
The supernatural timeline has been erased, and a completely different timeline is gradually covering the entire world.

However, a few discordant points emerged during this process.

Several small dots emitting golden light.

These small dots, distributed in several different locations, represent Yang Jian, Ye Zhen, Su Lei, Wang Shanshan, Miao Xiaoshan, and others who were granted divine status by Mu Sheng.

The world's consciousness also discovered these few holdouts, and a few strands of primordial power descended, causing the golden light to dim instantly.

Although the holdout residents were not destroyed, they were removed from their original timeline and placed into another timeline.

As the final obstacle disappeared, the phantom of the new world slowly solidified.

The intense white light vanished, just as abruptly as it had appeared.

"Drip drip!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The sounds of car horns on the road and the noisy hawking of vendors in the market suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

It was as if the whole world had come to life in an instant.

What supernatural era? What unkillable ghosts? What chaotic world? A human apocalypse overrun by vengeful spirits?

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

All traces have vanished; it was all like a dream.

It was all just unrealistic fantasies of a whimsical child on a hot summer afternoon!

Dachang City, No. 7 Middle School.

"Dingling bell~"

The moment the bell rang, Zhang Wei and Sao Pang in the back row dashed out of the classroom.

I ran down the teaching building and headed towards the school cafeteria.

If someone isn't proactive in their work, there's something wrong with their thinking!
"Su Lei! Su Lei?"

While Su Lei was lost in thought, she suddenly felt someone speaking loudly in her ear, and at the same time, her body was swaying.

"Ah! What's wrong?"

Su Lei suddenly woke up and saw her best friend Wang Shanshan looking at her with a worried expression.

"Su Lei, I've called you several times, but you haven't responded. Why don't you go to the hospital to get checked out? This can't go on like this!"

Miao Xiaoshan chimed in, "You were daydreaming during class too; Teacher Zhang has glanced at you several times."

Seeing the concerned looks on Wang Shanshan and Miao Xiaoshan's faces, Su Lei smiled and reassured them, "Don't worry, I just haven't been getting enough rest lately."

"You're making it sound like I have some kind of terminal illness!"

"Pah! Pah! Pah! Don't say such unlucky things! Spit it out now!"

Upon hearing the word "terminal illness," Miao Xiaoshan immediately grabbed Su Lei and insisted that she spit it out several times before she would stop.

"Alright, alright, let's go eat quickly, or all the good food will be gone."

After the little incident, the three of them were soon joking around again and went to the cafeteria for lunch together.

Before leaving the classroom, Su Lei suddenly noticed a classmate in the last row.

The other person was sitting blankly in their seat, staring out the window, seemingly lost in thought.

'Yang Jian?'

Su Lei frowned; the other person's state gave her a strange sense of familiarity.

Yes!

Isn't this the same situation that Wang Shanshan and Miao Xiaoshan described when they were daydreaming?

Is there some connection between these two things?

A thought suddenly flashed through Su Lei's mind, but she shook her head immediately.

'I must be out of my mind. Isn't this how everyone does when they're spacing out?'

Su Lei quickly put the thought out of her mind and left with her two best friends.

As the three figures disappeared down the corridor, Yang Jian suddenly turned around and murmured softly:
"Is it a dream? The paranormal is reviving."
