Chapter 447: 250 “Zero Realm Master” and “Personal Experience of Transcendence” (Seeking Subscriptions)_5
The Zero Realm Master did not discuss these matters in front of Alastair, the Realm Master.
Because some things require personal enlightenment.
However, he did tell Milton Cheney, for he knew that Cheney would not recklessly share the information.
“Does that mean you won’t be able to leave the Tide Realm for a long time?”
Upon hearing this, Milton Cheney asked.
After the remark was made, the Zero Realm Master smiled.
“Who told you I couldn’t leave the Tide Realm, I simply cannot leave the World Sea.”
“A new Transcendent will inevitably arise within the Tide Realm, it’s just a matter of time,”
the Zero Realm Master said.
After countless years, he had actually come to terms with it.
Moreover, at this point, his desire to leave the Tide Realm was not as intense as when he had just become a Transcendent.
After all, he could afford to wait now.
As long as he remained in the Tide Realm, his lifespan was limitless.
Unless the Tide Realm perished.
Other Realm Masters might face a limit on their lifespans, but he had no such limit.
Having explained this, Milton Cheney nodded.
If the Zero Realm Master was unconcerned about these matters, then Cheney saw no need to worry on behalf of others.
“You seem quite interested in Transcendents, so would you like to personally experience the sensation of transcendence?”
the Zero Realm Master suddenly asked.
The moment the words were spoken, Milton Cheney thought he had misheard.
What did he hear?
To personally experience the sensation of transcendence?
Milton Cheney was bewildered, as he briefly lost grasp of the meaning behind those words.
He wondered if that was really what he understood it to mean.
Surely the Zero Realm Master wasn’t joking with him.
If that was the case, could it be true?
Could such serendipitous fortune truly fall from the sky?
Milton Cheney did not immediately respond, as he truly was puzzled by the intentions of the Zero Realm Master.
To say that the Zero Realm Master wished him harm would be entirely unnecessary.
In front of a genuine Transcendent, Cheney did not believe he, a Pseudo Realm Master, stood a chance.
If the Zero Realm Master truly intended to harm him, there would be no need for such roundabout methods; he could have taken direct action.
Of course, it wasn’t out of the question that the Zero Realm Master had other plans or intentions, it was just that Cheney was unaware of them.
Yet, with such an opportunity before him, he seemingly had no reason to refuse.
After all, the reason he chose to undergo Reincarnation Simulation in the Tide Realm was to understand how to extricate himself from the influence of the Power of Destiny.
If such an opportunity existed, wouldn’t it mean he could achieve that in one fell swoop?
It seemed nothing could deepen his understanding of transcendence more than personal experience.
The Zero Realm Master’s gaze lingered on Milton Cheney’s face.
He took in every nuance of Cheney’s expression.
He did not interrupt Cheney’s contemplation.
Instead, he waited quietly.
After a moment, Milton Cheney nodded.
There was actually nothing to hesitate about, and Cheney’s ultimate choice was decidedly to accept.
With matters having come this far, there was no reason not to accept such an opportunity that presented itself at his doorstep.
Seeing Milton Cheney nod, a smile appeared on the Zero Realm Master’s face, as if he had thought of something amusing.
“However, I need to tell you in advance that if you experience my process and sensation of becoming a Transcendent, then you will no longer have any hope of becoming a Transcendent yourself.”
“Even if you complete your consciousness and become a fully integrated individual, you will not have the chance to become a Transcendent,”
“because this is my Transcendence Technique. Once you’ve experienced my technique, you will absolutely not be able to forge a new path,”
the Zero Realm Master said.
Hearing these words, Milton Cheney did not hesitate and nodded again.
This was no issue for him, as he had never intended to become a Transcendent during the Reincarnation Simulation.
Plus, the memories formed within the simulation would not affect reality.
If there was a chance that the simulation might impact reality, Cheney could rely on his Simulator to block out the effects of those memories.
So, this was naturally not a concern for him.
That was also the function of his Simulator.
If his Simulator did not have the capability to shield the effects of memories from within the simulation, perhaps Cheney would not have chosen to take the risk.
But since it did have that function, what was there to fear?
Seeing Milton Cheney nod, the Zero Realm Master did not continue to speak further.
He simply waved his hand gently, and a white light flew from the space toward the center of Milton Cheney’s forehead.
Milton Cheney could clearly see the white light, his body’s instincts seemed to want to resist, but Milton Cheney chose to suppress some kind of instinct.
The next moment, the white light burrowed into Milton Cheney’s mind from the center of his forehead.
Milton Cheney’s consciousness went dark, and his vision changed abruptly.
The Zero Realm Master vanished before his eyes, and the familiar space also disappeared from his view.
Suddenly, Milton Cheney felt that his body seemed different.
Milton Cheney looked down at his body with his consciousness.
Indeed, his body was no longer his own at this time.
Now, he occupied the body of a stranger.
His memory, however, was no different from before.
As time slowly passed, in the blink of an eye, Milton Cheney’s vision altered once again.
Before him, the phantom of a world suddenly emerged.
Under this World Phantom, Milton Cheney felt a strong oppressive force.
This force nearly caused his body to collapse.
His consciousness also seemed to be gradually eroded by this World Phantom.
Milton Cheney forcefully endured this discomfort.
The feeling of a whole world bearing down on him was indeed unbearable and could even be said to be extremely difficult to withstand.
But Milton Cheney’s will made him hold on.
In such a situation, let alone perceiving the passage of time, Milton Cheney couldn’t clearly sense anything from the outside world.
A moment later, Milton Cheney suddenly felt something being forcefully extracted from inside his body.
Another force, different from the one before, weighed down upon him.
If the previous one was simply a force in terms of momentum, then now it was pure power.
These two sensations of oppression were totally different.
The sudden force weighing down on him, Milton Cheney was all too familiar with it—it was the Power of Destiny.
Carrying this Power of Destiny, Milton Cheney felt an excruciating torment every moment.
This Power of Destiny weighed on him so heavily that he could barely breathe.
Milton Cheney could clearly feel that this Power of Destiny appeared because of the things that were stripped from within him.
What had been stripped from him just now must’ve been related to the fate of the Tide Realm.
After the Power of Destiny was extracted, it now transformed into a tangible force pressing down on him.
At the same time, Milton Cheney had an indescribable feeling.
This feeling was as if, though his body wasn’t previously weighed down by a boulder, it was tied with a chain.
But now, even though there was a boulder pressing on him, the chain had disappeared.
It was as if the old him had a limited range of activities due to the chain.
But for the present him, though a boulder weighed upon him, if he could just manage to lift it, he could go anywhere in the vast world.
But the next moment, Milton Cheney found he could no longer bear the weight.
This was no longer a matter of willpower—the actual oppressive force was about to destroy his body.
After a moment, Milton Cheney forcibly endured for a while, but his body was still crushed by this Power of Destiny.
At the moment his body shattered, Milton Cheney’s consciousness darkened and everything before his eyes vanished.
When his consciousness returned to clarity, he was once again looking at the familiar space and the familiar face of the old man.
However, the Zero Realm Master now looked at him with a smile.
“How does it feel?”
The Zero Realm Master asked with a light smile.
Upon hearing these words, all Milton Cheney could do was give a wry smile; it seemed he had only lasted for a mere moment.
“Not too good,”
Milton Cheney said frankly.
The sensation indeed wasn’t great, and could even be described as quite unpleasant.
Even Milton Cheney, under the pressure of the Power of Destiny, found it extremely hard to move an inch.
“This is only the first step to becoming a Transcendent, stripping away the Power of Destiny.”
“Having felt the oppression of the Power of Destiny, do you realize how difficult it is to move?”
“If you want to become a Transcendent, then from the moment you strip away the Power of Destiny until you truly transcend and become a Transcendent, you must continuously bear this Power of Destiny on your shoulders.”
“During this period, you are essentially bearing the Power of Destiny of an entire world.”
The Zero Realm Master explained.
As for what came after that, he had no intention of letting Milton Cheney experience it just yet.
Upon hearing the Zero Realm Master’s words, Milton Cheney thoughtfully nodded his head.
It must be said, his decision to meet with the Zero Realm Master was absolutely right, the gains were immense.
