However, this one-meter-long sphere already has such a high energy density that it causes the gravity shield of the black hole engine to shake—the strength of the gravitational field is starting to become insufficient.

Energy leakage. A small amount of uncaptured high-dimensional energy shot out from the gaps in the gravity shield, piercing through the plasma bubble, evaporating a half-meter diameter channel of seawater, and reaching all the way to the bedrock of the seabed, leaving a ten-meter deep burn mark on the rock.

The panel beeped again.

[Antimatter furnace load rate: 156%. Core temperature: 23000 degrees Celsius. Structural damage risk: Extremely high. Immediate cessation of eating is recommended.]

停?

Now it stopped, and the ball exploded right in front of him. The energy of the explosion, at a depth of 10,000 meters, would be conducted in all directions, and the entire Pacific Rim would be leveled by tsunamis hundreds of meters high within hours.

Coastal cities were completely destroyed. More than half of Earth's carbon-based civilization was lost.

more importantly--

Qin Meng's tomato-flavored potato chip production line is in Jiangcheng. Jiangcheng is also a coastal city.

It cannot be blown up.

You have to finish it.

Qin Meng did something he had never done before. He gave up controlling the upper limit of the antimatter furnace temperature.

Safety threshold - Released.

Temperature limiter - Off.

The furnace is operating in unlimited mode. The core temperature continues to climb from 23,000 degrees. 25,000. 30,000. 35,000.

His internal organ lining began to undergo a phase transition under high temperatures. The innermost layer of the digestive tract mucosa transformed from carbon-based organic matter into a ceramic-like crystalline tissue—not a pre-designed evolutionary direction, but a spontaneous adaptation of the body to extreme environments.

The black ball continues to shrink.

Eighty centimeters. Sixty. Forty.

Qin Meng intercepted all the gushing high-dimensional energy and poured it into the furnace, mouthful after mouthful.

His physique stat isn't jumping anymore, it's rolling.

2950. ​​2960. 2970. 2980.

The black ball shrank to twenty centimeters. The size of a basketball.

This size is sufficient.

Qin Meng stopped using the gravity shield to intercept the energy. He released his hands, allowing the high-dimensional energy sphere, which had been compressed to its limit, to suspend in front of him.

Then—she swallowed it whole.

The moment it went down, his esophagus expanded to three times its normal diameter. The newly formed ceramic-like inner wall shattered halfway as the sphere slid past, and then reassembled at an even higher density while shattering.

The ball fell into the stomach.

The antimatter furnace is completely surrounded.

The final self-destruction—it was trapped inside Qin Meng's stomach.

exploded.

Even after compression and continuous consumption, the residual energy of this core still created a miniature version of the Big Bang inside Qin Meng's abdominal cavity.

Furnace core temperature: 40,000 degrees Celsius.

Fifty thousand degrees.

60,000 degrees.

Qin Meng's plasma bubble radius surged from twenty meters to eighty meters. The temperature inside the bubble reached a point where the hydrogen produced by the decomposition of seawater began to fuse—not quite true fusion, just missing the crucial conditions, but already on the threshold.

His body oscillated at a high frequency between expansion and contraction. Each expansion pushed the abdominal cavity wall to the brink of rupture, and each contraction allowed the antimatter furnace to absorb more of the energy released by the explosion.

The panel's warning system completely stopped working. The last line that popped up was—

[System notification: Data overflow. Monitoring paused. Good luck.]

Qin Meng, at a depth of 10,000 meters underwater, used the contraction force of his stomach to digest a bomb powerful enough to destroy the continental shelf.

The process lasted ninety-three seconds.

When the last trace of core energy was broken down into elementary particles by the antimatter furnace, Qin Meng's physical attributes—

It stopped at 3017.

The control panel has been restarted.

A new notification popped up.

[Physical strength has exceeded 3000. Seventh life leap triggered.]

[Leap Initiation in Progress]

Qin Meng's body floated in the center of a plasma bubble on the seabed. The surface of his skin began to peel off—not a bruised shedding, but a molting process. Patches of old skin tissue detached from the surface, revealing a new epidermis that was darker in color and denser in texture.

The skeleton is being remodeled. This time it's not a localized microcrack repair, but a systemic bone replacement. Old bone minerals are recycled in an antimatter furnace, and new, ultra-dense bone, forged under 100,000 times the force of gravity and tempered by high-dimensional energy, grows from the inside of the periosteum.

Throughout the replacement process, Qin Meng's skeleton made a continuous "clinking" sound in the seawater, like someone was hammering a cast iron vessel with a small hammer.

The structure of muscle fibers is also changing. The conventional arrangement of actin and myosin is disrupted, replaced by a helical nested structure—each bundle of fibers contains an even finer layer of fibers, nested layer upon layer, increasing the density of contractile units per unit volume to the limit of biological theory.

The last thing to change was the black hole engine itself.

The engine's core—the gravitational source residing in the center of his chest—underwent a self-upgrade after swallowing the master node core.

A new feature description popped up on the panel.

The seventh life leap is complete.

[New Passive Feature: Gravitational Domain (The permanent coverage area of ​​the gravitational field is extended to 500 meters, allowing for precise control of the gravitational vector within the field. No longer requires active activation; the field is always present.)]

[The Black Hole Engine has been upgraded to: Black Hole Engine Mk3. Digestion efficiency has increased by 40%, and the upper limit of digestible matter level has been raised to thirteenth tier.]

Current physical condition: 3017.

Qin Meng completed a leap at a depth of 10,000 meters in the ocean.

The plasma bubbles slowly dissipated. The high-pressure seawater recoiled again, and when it came into contact with his newly formed skin, it was gently pushed away by the gravitational field, forming a vacuum layer two centimeters above his body surface.

Even with 10,000 meters of water pressure and a vacuum of two centimeters, you can't touch a single hair on his head.

The master node is gone.

The two-hundred-meter-tall black pillar rapidly disintegrated after losing its core power source, turning into countless high-dimensional fragments that sank into the crevices of the seabed rock. All the high-dimensional runes attached to the pillar were extinguished.

Those "modification instructions" written into the geophysical foundation—during Qin Meng's process of devouring the core, the black hole engine digested the instruction codes nested in the energy structure.

Instruction encoding is the carrier of energy; if the carrier is gone, the instruction is gone too.

It's like pulling out a nail. The nail, along with the plaster, is eaten away. The hole doesn't need patching because that part of the wall is gone.

The threat of triple gravity is over.

Ji Wudao's "Craftsman of Constants" project ended at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, 10,000 meters deep, and ended in Qin Meng's stomach.

Qin Meng moved his neck. His joints cracked eight times. The new bone was much harder than the old one, and the friction between the bone surfaces produced a crisp metallic clanging sound when he twisted it.
