Chapter 747 Go All Ou (1/2)

Stare.
Stare.
Keep staring.
Chen Xiaolian kept his eyes focused on the pair of wings, doing his best to push away all distractions from his mind.
And yet, the more he wanted to focus, the harder it became to do so. Such was human nature.
Earlier, when he was in Room Zero, he had regained his memories of Zero City’s destruction. He also found out so many shocking secrets from the conversation between Duwei and Shen. How could he remain calm?
Not to mention, Duwei had given him only half an hour for this.
Should he fail to comprehend it in half an hour’s time, Shen would come and snatch away the Oddity, exterminating them all.
This reminded Chen Xiaolian of his time as webnovel author. Seeing the reader messages in the comment section urging him to upload new chapters, he would open up a Word document and try his best to type something. And yet, no matter how hard he tried, he was incapable of typing anything.
Shen had mentioned that religious devotion was not a requirement to obtain the information left within the wings. Still, an extreme level of devotion would make it easier to push one’s concentration to its highest level.
However, distracting thoughts were flying about within Chen Xiaolian’s mind. He could not even clear them away, what else could he do to concentrate?
For an instant, he had even considered that it would have been better if he had been a believer in some religion.
Twenty more minutes left.Damn it! What should I do?
There was no emotion on Chen Xiaolian’s face and his body was immobile as he sat down cross-legged to stare ahead. However, he was screaming internally non-stop.
Concentrate! Concentrate! Concentrate!Wait!How did I forget this?
Chen Xiaolian slapped himself on his head furiously before pulling out the Sword in the Stone from his Storage Watch.
Sword in the Stone’s auxiliary skill, King’s Eminence, activate!
Reading the description of the skill, he could see that it was for removing the negative mental effects caused by enemies.
However, it did not say that it could not work against his own negative mental state.
After the skill was activated, the distracting thoughts within Chen Xiaolian’s mind was instantly cleared away.
This was not to say that the thoughts had vanished. Chen Xiaolian could still remember them. However, they were no longer actively on his mind.
Assuming Chen Xiaolian’s mind was a room, those distracting thoughts were the equivalent of miscellaneous items brought out from the room’s cabinets and littered all over the floor, leaving no gap for him to even walk into the room. At present, those distracting thought had been placed back into the cabinet, leaving the floor clean and clear.
Thanks to the Sword in the Stone’s special skill, which brought clarity to his mind, Chen Xiaolian was finally able to fully concentrate. He stared intently at the pair of wings, not looking away for even a second.
Slowly, a change seemingly came over the pair of wings. It gradually grew in size until it covered everything, transforming into the only thing Chen Xiaolian could see.
For Chen Xiaolian, it felt as though he was falling down from space. The planet beneath him was none other than the pair of wings. His gaze pierced through the feathers on the surface of the wings, the gaps between the feathers, the molecules of the feathers, the atoms…
Finally, his gaze fell upon darkness.
When it finally lit up, the scene greeting him was that of a slaughter.
The boundless lands beneath him had been destroyed into countless fragments while the sky above his head was blood-red in colour.
A group of winged angels were flying through the sky. However, the wings behind them were not flapping. Instead, they were simply spread open. It would appear that flapping their wings was not a requirement for them to fly.
They were surrounding a humanoid figure. The figure’s body was blurry and it was not possible to make out his features. There was also no way to tell if the figure was male or female.
The surrounding angels besieged the figure. Every time one of the angels brandished the weapon in their hands, the surrounding space would tear into fragments.
Within the torn space, minute green-coloured symbols shone.
Chen Xiaolian’s heart gave a thump and he turned his gaze towards the torn space to get a better view of the symbols. However, it would appear that he was incapable of moving his line of vision to his heart’s desire. Despite doing his best, he was only able to view around 10 to 20 % of the torn space.
However, every symbol he saw would suddenly leave its original position to fly towards Chen Xiaolian. Then, they seeped into Chen Xiaolian’s eyes.
Obviously, the blurry humanoid figure was the first GM, Shen’s former self.
He was not wielding any weapons in his hand. It was also impossible to see what kind of skill he was using.
Standing on that same spot, he reached out with his hand and performed a wiping motion.
The body of the nearby angels, affected by his wiping motion, instantly broke apart and disintegrated before turning into minute green-coloured symbols as well.
Chen Xiaolian struggled with everything he had to look at more of the symbols. Every time his gaze locked on to the symbols, they would fly into his eyes. As the number of symbols within his eyes grew, Chen Xiaolian began noticing a change in the way he saw the world.
It was no longer just from the space destroyed by the angels’ weapons and the deaths of the angels. In Chen Xiaolian’s eyes, even the intact parts of them all became something he could analyse.
A portion of the world had transformed into symbols. That portion kept growing in size.
Is this… … the world’s source code?
The feeling of shock had only just emerged from Chen Xiaolian’s heart when his vision rapidly moved towards the blurry figure. A hand, wielding a sword, appeared in his vision.
Chen Xiaolian was quick to understand that his vision was not that of a bystander. Rather, it came from one of the winged angels.
“The main space has been modified! His authority and powers have been greatly upgraded! We… … we are no match for him!”
