Chapter 20 (2/2)

He picked up the wooden rod and walked toward the channel.

As he got near to the channel, he felt his body becoming warmer and warmer, like there was a flame roasting him from within. Under this unusual condition, his body constitution felt increasingly better, as though a burst of energy was sprouting inside, modifying his body.

Very soon, he arrived near the space channel.

Staring at the grassy area, he felt like he could enter the Other World with just a single step.

“Should I go take a look? If it is dangerous, I will return immediately.”

He used his wooden rod and probed, sticking it into the space channel. The wooden rod instantly sank, like something was dragging it. He didn’t feel this was strange. After all, the gravity of the Other World was three times that of Earth.

Very soon, the wooden rod touched the grassy area through the space channel. He discovered that there was no contrast brought about by the light refraction; everything was the same as what his eyes saw. The Other World was perfectly fused with the parking lot.

After that, he pulled the wooden rod out. Using that faint light, he paid close attention to the rod. There was completely no damage to it at all.

“Seems like entering is possible.”

He drew in a few deep breaths and continued probing using a single foot.

At the next instant, the space suddenly changed. His body suddenly sank.

Although Chen Shouyi was mentally prepared regarding this, he almost fell to the ground.

Under this kind of gravity, if he sat down in this manner, his tailbone would definitely break from the impact.

The three-times increase in gravity made him feel as though all parts of his body were being pressed down by heavy objects. His breathing grew heavier, and even his heart found it hard to bear. However, he didn’t come here to lament the terrifying gravity. When he finally stood stably, the first thing he did was to regard his surroundings with wariness.

On Earth, the place he was in was shrouded in darkness. But now that he had entered here, it was the day time. He discovered that he was standing at a mountain’s waist. From here, he could see the ocean in the distance. Everywhere his eyes roamed, he didn’t see any large-sized biological creatures. There were only a few tiny black dots flying high up in the sky.,

After closely observing his surroundings and not discovering anything threatening from the Other World, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

He followed the path and soon came to the cemented grassy area. He slowly sat down while holding on to his wooden rod tightly.

Only now did he have the time to notice the transformation to his body. His body grew warmer and warmer, simply to the point of spontaneous combustion. His skin was flushed, and steam was constantly emitting from within.

But the strange thing was that as his body grew warmer, it relaxed gradually.

When he had first entered, he still felt his chest being tight as well as shortness of breath. But as more time passed, he felt the gravity in this world becoming lower and lower. His breathing also grew increasingly smooth and the tightness in his chest slowly vanished.

Undoubtedly, this had something to do with the Book of Knowledge.

He immediately summoned it.

In this Other World, the Book of Knowledge seemed to become even more lively. With just a thought, the attributes panel instantly appeared in his mind.

Chen Shouyi only took a single look and shock soon filled his face.

He couldn’t help it and looked over a few more times. He almost thought that he was seeing things wrongly.

In such a short time, his attributes actually had such a shocking change.

“No wonder I feel more and more relaxed.”

Not only that, but his attributes panel also had an additional innate ability, ‘Natural Recovery’.

He suddenly recalled the material that created the Book of Knowledge. It seemed to be made from the heart of the world tree in the Other World. And in the legends of the barbarians from the Other World, the world tree was born when the world was created. It had the power to control space and to balance nature.

Naturally, a legend was ultimately nothing but a legend in Chen Shouyi’s thoughts, and a vast majority of the story must have been fabricated, making it divine sounding.

Even for the gods in the Other World, their strength hadn’t reached the unimaginable boundary. The majority of the civilization here was still in the wilderness, and the society was mainly made up of different tribes. Therefore, it could be said that there were no countries or empires yet.

Many of the gods they prayed to were totemic gods, ferocious beasts with divine ability, powerful giants, or nature spirits. These beings might have some unfathomable power that was foreign to humans, but it was far from being omnipotent.

But even if the truth was greatly discounted from the legends and the Book of Knowledge became extremely weakened on Earth, unable to manifest its full power, it still seemed to contain some remnant energy and was modifying his body.

Also, the modification hadn’t stopped yet, looking like it had just begun. In just tens of seconds, he already discovered his strength rising by another 0.1.
