At the center of the blood sea, in the upper-middle of the vortex, Andrew Han sat cross-legged, his mind immersed, his soul trembling with agitation.
An involuntary sense of fear.
Driven by an instinct originating from the depths of life itself.
However, as soon as he began to comprehend the Nether-Fame Stele not far ahead, he felt his soul space violently shake. The Soul Crystal-Diamond, always at the very center of his soul space, suddenly erupted with ten thousand layers of brilliance, as if a long-sealed blazing sun had finally emerged.
Boom!
An indescribable roar echoed through his soul!
Boom!!
The Soul Crystal-Diamond stopped spinning, freezing time and space, radiating starlight!
This, this is...
Sensing all this, Andrew Han was greatly shocked.
One must know, the very existence of the Soul Crystal-Diamond is fundamentally inexplicable and utterly unique. He had searched through all the records without any results, and even the Famous Master Xu from a higher Star Gate could not see through its nature... As if this Soul Crystal-Diamond were a purely illusory, nonexistent thing. Across the universe, in heaven and earth, only Andrew Han himself could sense and understand its mysteries.
Moreover.
The slow rotation of the Soul Crystal-Diamond gives rise to Consciousness Nodes.
So many wonders, impossible to enumerate—this is Andrew Han’s most fundamental and important soul foundation. Not even the gray-white currents can compare to the Soul Crystal-Diamond.
But now, while comprehending the Nether-Fame Stele, the Soul Crystal-Diamond has suddenly undergone a tremendous change.
What’s going on!
Andrew Han was shocked, then became cautious.
In a flash, countless thoughts swirled through his mind like crashing waves, but in an instant his thinking settled—Andrew Han made a decision: everything must be centered on the Soul Crystal-Diamond. If necessary, he would immediately abandon this opportunity to comprehend the Nether-Fame Stele.
There will be plenty of good years ahead.
A Starlight-tier lifespan is over a hundred eras; a Stellar Palace-tier lifespan exceeds a thousand eras; a Void Rift-tier lifespan is even longer.
Andrew Han’s thoughts stirred, and he secretly mused, “I need to clarify the real reason. Why did the Soul Crystal-Diamond react?”
In an instant, he immersed himself in his soul space.
With an inexplicable perspective, Andrew Han observed the entire soul space in minute detail.
Buzz!
Buzz buzz!
Buzz buzz buzz!
His soul space, dominated by boundless darkness, was trembling. At the same time, over eight thousand Consciousness Star-Maps swayed and quivered... His soul was taut, enduring omnipresent soul oppression.
It was as if gravity shifted and the pressure surged countless times.
This was the soul oppression produced by comprehending the Nether-Fame Stele.
Oppression, turbulence.
Oppression, turbulence.
A repetitive process, almost like the fixed order of tides rising and falling—while tempering the soul, it also hones the elusive willpower.
Willpower is invisible and intangible, always difficult to strengthen.
Soul oppression...
The changes in the Soul Crystal-Diamond...
Andrew Han murmured thoughtfully, understanding most of it, vaguely guessing the fundamental reason for the Soul Crystal-Diamond’s transformation.
But he did not jump to conclusions, nor act rashly.
Let’s watch a bit longer.
Andrew Han continued to observe.
Referring to Wade Wu II’s explanation of the Nether-Fame Stele, the soul oppression was like waves, layer upon layer pressing on the soul of the one comprehending.
