    Chapter 206

    After the simulated study and living room vanished, Marble Space returned to its original appearance.

    Only endless darkness and drifting gray mist remained, stretching into the unknown like an infinite sea of clouds.

    There were no colors.

    No shapes.

    Everything Su Hao perceived here was merely his mind interpreting the existence of Marble Space.

    Within this boundless expanse lay every piece of information he had ever recorded—from the distant past until the present.

    This was the true foundation of his existence.

    In Su Hao's understanding, all knowledge was organized by both hierarchy and chronology.

    If Marble Space could be visualized, it would resemble an immeasurably long dragon-shaped vortex.

    The dragon's head represented the present.

    Its endlessly extending body and tail represented the past.


    ---

    Since creating Little Light, Su Hao had accumulated increasingly vast amounts of knowledge.

    Gradually, he noticed something remarkable.

    The information that originally belonged to him had begun merging with the information stored inside Marble Space.

    Pieces of knowledge that had once been completely unrelated gradually became integrated into his consciousness.

    His consciousness continuously expanded.

    It was as though his own awareness was steadily engulfing all recorded information, digesting it through logic and order, transforming it into part of himself.


    ---

    Su Hao compared the process to a single drop of ink falling into a river.

    If that drop could preserve its identity...

    It would eventually dye the entire river black.

    But if it dispersed the instant it touched the current...

    It would simply disappear.

    His consciousness was that drop of ink.

    To preserve himself...

    He first had to continuously strengthen and consolidate his consciousness.

    Only then could he safely absorb more knowledge.

    Regular meditation served precisely this purpose.


    ---

    Within Marble Space, Su Hao's condensed consciousness gradually dispersed.

    His thoughts flowed freely through the endless darkness.

    Wherever his thoughts traveled...

    His core consciousness followed.

    It was an indescribably mysterious sensation.

    He seemed to exist everywhere at once...

    Yet was unable to perceive Marble Space in its entirety.

    At times, it felt as though he had traveled unimaginably far away.

    At other times, it seemed he had never moved at all.


    ---

    As for Little Light...

    It was essentially a colossal information-processing center.

    Its core consisted of a fragment of Su Hao's own consciousness, combined with the special properties of Marble Space.

    Although Little Light appeared to be an independent existence...

    It was fundamentally inseparable from him.

    No matter where Su Hao's consciousness wandered within Marble Space...

    He could instantly locate Little Light.


    ---

    What amazed him even more was the mysterious connection between his consciousness and the body of the Zhuhua person existing somewhere outside Marble Space.

    That connection acted as an anchor.

    Through it, his consciousness projected itself into the body, allowing him to think and act in the real world.

    His primary consciousness could switch freely between Marble Space and his body without encountering the slightest obstruction.

    When residing inside the body...

    He appeared no different from an ordinary person.


    ---

    Su Hao speculated that the phenomenon resembled quantum entanglement.

    At some unknown moment...

    His consciousness and his physical body had synchronized.

    Since then...

    An invisible bond had permanently connected them.

    A faint silhouette slowly condensed within Marble Space.

    Su Hao looked at himself and murmured,

    "So..."

    "Is this what projection really is?"


    ---

    Ever since evolving into a Prophet...

    One question had continued troubling him.

    Why had the power of his consciousness begun growing again?

    After years of exploring Marble Space, he had finally arrived at an answer.


    ---

    The Prophet possessed an extraordinarily powerful brain.

    That brain dramatically increased Su Hao's ability to process information.

    As his processing ability improved...

    His consciousness gained greater control over the information stored within Marble Space.

    Meditation itself was not what strengthened consciousness.

    Rather...

    It functioned as an optimized method of acquiring and organizing information.

    The brain served as the storage medium.

    Meditation served as the algorithm.

    Together...

    They allowed his consciousness to continuously absorb compatible information and strengthen itself.

    Previously...

    His brain simply hadn't possessed enough capacity.

    That limitation had prevented any further growth.

    Only after evolving into a Prophet did he realize...

    The bottleneck had never been his cultivation methods.

    It had always been his brain.


    ---

    Su Hao couldn't help feeling grateful.

    Obtaining the Prophet's genius genes meant that no matter which world he reincarnated into in the future...

    He would always possess extraordinary intelligence.


    ---

    "But..."

    "The Prophet can't possibly be perfect."

    "When my consciousness reaches another limit..."

    "It'll stagnate again."


    ---

    The problem quickly became obvious.

    Unlimited growth would require an infinitely powerful brain.

    Was that possible?


    ---

    Su Hao slowly shook his head.

    Impossible.

    Even if his entire body became one enormous brain...

    There would still be limits.


    ---

    He slowly clenched his fist.

    "My physical strength is already sufficient for self-preservation."

    "My greatest limitation now..."

    "...is consciousness."


    ---

    "Then where can I find knowledge capable of strengthening consciousness itself?"

    "Knowledge that isn't limited by the brain?"


    ---

    Perhaps...

    The answer existed in another world.

    Perhaps...

    His next reincarnation would reveal it.


    ---

    "I must treasure every reincarnation."

    "Every world contains knowledge unavailable elsewhere."

    "Once an opportunity is missed..."

    "It's gone forever."


    ---

    Thinking back...

    He couldn't help regretting certain missed opportunities.

    The martial arts world...

    The magic world...

    The immortal cultivation world...

    There had undoubtedly been many mysteries he had never explored.


    ---

    "If only I had learned how immortals cultivate Divine Sense..."

    "Perhaps many of today's questions would already have answers."


    ---

    Unfortunately...

    He still had no idea what Divine Sense truly was.

    Nor how it was cultivated.


    ---

    But Su Hao wasn't discouraged.

    "As long as I continue learning..."

    "I'll eventually find the answer."


    ---

    Years of meditation had steadily strengthened his consciousness.

    Meanwhile...

    His scientific knowledge had grown at an astonishing pace.

    After upgrading himself into a Prophet...

    His learning speed had become almost terrifying.

    Only then did he truly understand the enormous gap between an ordinary genius and a genuine one.


    ---

    Before becoming a Prophet...

    He estimated it would require at least ten or twenty years to completely master mathematics.

    Instead...

    After evolving...

    He finished absorbing every mathematical text recorded inside Marble Space in just over a year.

    That wasn't merely several times faster.

    The difference bordered on overwhelming.


    ---

    Could other Prophets among the Zhuhua people achieve the same feat?

    Su Hao thought the answer was no.

    Without Marble Space...

    Even Prophets were simply highly intelligent individuals possessing the abilities of Acquisition, Analysis, Recording, and Simulation.

    Only by combining those abilities with Marble Space did his learning speed become so monstrous.


    ---

    Having completely absorbed every scientific text accumulated over the years...

    Su Hao turned his attention toward another project.

    Little Light.

    Its current version was beginning to lag behind his needs.

    It was time for a complete overhaul.


    ---

    With a wave of his hand...

    The endless darkness transformed once more into a familiar laboratory.

    Looking toward Little Light, Su Hao smiled faintly.

    "First..."

    "I'll upgrade Little Light to Version 3.0."

    "Then..."

    "I'll begin transforming Marble Space itself."

    "It needs far more functions than it has now."

    Why does this consciousness/genius stuff feel increasingly non-sensical? I’m just skimming it now.

      Well maybe foreshadowing the next world like sci fi world or magic world (wizard, mage, sorcerer, and warlock) ?
