Chapter 1280 - 1280 1279 Truth Constraint

Chapter 1280: Chapter 1279: Truth Constraint Chapter 1280: Chapter 1279: Truth Constraint [Black Tower Bottom Level – Employee Office]

Han Dong completed the reissue of his “Formal Employee” nameplate here.

At the same time, he also successfully obtained a share.

The high-order world independently created by the Tomb Lord – “The Tombs,” although currently ranked last among all high-order worlds, Han Dong believed in the Tomb Lord’s capabilities, which would surely allow it to slowly develop in a short period of time.

Holding the share gave him a solid feeling.

It wasn’t about the income from the share itself.

Rather, given the current situation of the world Han Dong was in, the share might play a crucial role at a critical moment, and could even serve as a means for turning the tables.

As for the reward for the investigation task “The Tombs.”

Han Dong could apply to the Black Tower for a Legend level material, which was being processed:

“Please fill in your requirements in detail on the application form; the review department will select three Legend materials from the Black Tower’s warehouse for you to choose from based on your request.

The whole process will take 24~72 hours, during which time any demurrage will be waived until you receive the materials.”

“Thank you.”

Han Dong had planned to head straight back to London City, but this meant he had to wait a while longer.

As soon as he stepped out of the office, the voice of the Count came from within him:

“Nicholas, since we have to wait a few days, why not make a trip to the [Boxing Club]?

You are not like before, the depth you’ve reached should be comparable to that of the Ten Elements… This Count must seize such an opportunity to avenge the past humiliation.”

“Hm? I remember you saying that you would never participate in boxing again.

Seems like there was also some promise made, if you fought again, it was what?”

“Cough cough! You must have heard wrong; what this Count meant was for you to participate personally.

Our consciousness is bound together, your victory is also my victory… Besides, you have never won a single time since joining the club; don’t you want to win for once?”

“Winning or losing is not important in the club, but you do make a good point, Count.

My current physical state indeed requires a trip to the club… Just through one thorough match, I may be able to eliminate the discomfort in my body and perhaps even achieve my first victory.”

“You can do it, this Count has high hopes for you.”

In actuality.

Ever since Han Dong climbed out of the bathtub and left the Other Shore Hotel, and until he arrived at the bottom level to handle various matters… Han Dong had not been able to truly adapt to his body, to be exact, he had not adapted to the [state of his body after opening the gate].

Since accepting the Truth and returning it to his body, Han Dong felt a sense of alienation from the material world.

To give an example:

Previously, when making the motion of “reaching out,” he would not think much about it; the arm would extend forward in response to the brain’s command, and the individual would not ponder the principle behind it—it was a natural action.

Now it was different.

When performing the “reaching out” action, consciousness would actively consider the mechanics behind it.

From the generation, release, and transmission of nerve signals, as well as the corresponding body feedback.

To the transcription and translation occurring in the cell nucleus after receiving the neural sensing signal, up to the formation of external actin filaments and the overall operation framework of the muscles.

At the same time.

The Truth branded in Han Dong’s brain would revise this extremely complex “reaching out” process.

It would realize the “reaching out” in the simplest, most optimized material state… The overall energy consumption would reduce by 60~80%.

Han Dong referred to this situation as [Truth Constraint].

The Truth, accepted from the Abyss and imprinted on the brain, was correcting various superfluous actions for the subject, and it could even rectify the flow of energy, spells, and even the movement of Tentacles.

An unadapted Han Dong was like a marionette on strings, with even the most basic walking appearing very disjointed.

Of course.

Once he adapts to the above process, and transforms it into a natural procedure.

The effects brought forth would be profound.

Not only would the simplicity of movement be enhanced, but the release of various spells would also consume less energy and unleash their greatest power.

Moreover.

The truths imprinted in one’s mind do not solely correct the self.

When Han Dong gathers information from the outside world, he also conducts multi-layered analysis.

Effortlessly interpreting the composition of the air, its flow, and density, he uses environmental feedback to optimize his body’s responses and movements.

All of this seems like a return to the essential state of matter, the original movements of matter.

The notion of Ancestor Return is also encapsulated within this.

“Is this the ‘Change’ that bearing witness to the truth brings about?

Cognition, during the time of embracing truth, has been utterly transformed, beginning to focus on grasping the essence of things and reaching out to touch these essences.”

As Han Dong made his discordant way toward the club.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind:

“Han Dong, little brother! Congratulations on Opening the gate!”

Han Dong turned awkwardly and saw the powerful presence of Headless seated at a simple stall.

“Big brother Headless, why are you selling things here again?”

“Didn’t we first meet right here?

Lately, the club is eager to recruit, and I like spotting talents here… If newcomers with talent like you aren’t approached early on, other organizations will inevitably poach them.

You seem to be planning to go to the club for fun? That’s a good idea.

Accepting the truth, cognition ascends.

If you wish to adapt to your body in a short time, nothing beats having a good fight… And, looking at you now, it seems you’ve stayed inside the Door of Truth for a long time, so much so that you can’t even walk properly.”

“Haha,” Han Dong could only give an embarrassed laugh.

“Come with me… the ‘Rehabilitative Exercise’ after Opening the gate is crucial, I’ll find you a suitable opponent.”

“Thank you, big brother Headless.”

During their return to the club, Headless asked:

“Speaking of which, why didn’t you come to the club before Opening the gate?

It’s a big deal, although you’ve already Opened the gate, and you look good… But it’s still best to report such things to the club, seeing as you’re a member.

I remember you were in a hurry to compete at the club last time, and you consulted me for discharge without fully recovering… Could it be that some force is providing you with superior support for Opening the gate?”

“You’re overthinking it, big brother Headless… There is a big shot guiding me to Open the gate.”

“A big shot? Who? I’m quite familiar with the Black Tower; I generally know all the somewhat famous guys.

Is it the leader of some organization? Or a manager from an in-house company at the Black Tower?”

“It’s someone from the upper echelon of the Black Tower, codenamed ‘M,’ a top executive, but I don’t know the exact name.”

Upon hearing this.

The dense resentment swirling around Headless retreated into his body as he stopped walking and turned his rotund figure toward Han Dong.

“Upper echelon, code name M… What does he look like? Or what kind of abilities does he have?”

“Wearing a white whirlpool mask, dressed in a white suit? His ability is a White Liquid, a substance capable of repairing and creating matter.”

Headless was so startled he nearly stepped back, “You! How could you possibly have come into contact with the Supreme Will!?”

“Ha, Supreme Will?” Han Dong heard this term for the first time.

“The ‘M’ you’ve encountered belongs to the highest tier of the Black Tower; they represent the Black Tower’s highest consciousness, and are the managers and rulers of the myriad worlds.

No wonder you did not seek assistance from the club for Opening the gate; with such a power aiding you, the outcome must be better than what the club can offer, unless the boss himself was guiding you.

Can you tell me more in detail, what is this all about?”
