Today, Lu Li is very tired.
In the morning, he condensed several kilograms of "volcanic ash rock" subatomic particles, almost depleting the energy within his body.
Afterwards, although he rested for a few hours and recovered a lot of energy, he then continually used his superpowers to carry mbers of the Morgan Clan away from the Ugly Country, which consud a lot of energy as well.
In the end, he used the high-level life pheromone on over a hundred people consecutively, which can be said to have exhausted his energy.
If he used the high-level life pheromone on a hundred people at once, it might not have been so strenuous.
However, spreading it out, that kind of continuous consumption truly gives one a feeling of exhaustion.
After the interrogation, Lu Li had Zhou Jinming, Zhu Fangming, and others take turns guarding the mbers of the Morgan Clan, then he fell into a deep sleep himself.
Before the fourth deep evolution, Lu Li would sotis dream.
Accompanying the completion of the fourth deep evolution, he reached the realm of a "real person with no dreams."
According to reason, after reaching the realm of a "real person with no dreams," one should not dream under any circumstances.
However, this ti when he fell asleep, a rather strange situation occurred.
...
Not long after he fell asleep.
Lu Li "saw" his "consciousness" erge from his body, hovering outside his physical body, being fully aware of everything within an eighty-kiloter radius.
Regardless of all the artificial structures within this eighty-kiloter radius or every small insect and even every tiny particle, all were reflected in his "consciousness."
This sensation was like the "area omniscience" when activating a "field."
The difference was that "area omniscience" would consu an enormous amount of energy, whereas in the current state, energy consumption was not felt.
"Huh?" Lu Li realized his physical body had fallen into a deep sleep, but his "consciousness" was exceptionally clear, "What is this? I obviously didn’t activate the ’field,’ so how could there be ’area omniscience’?"
He found it strange.
Lu Li cald himself to carefully sense.
Initially, he didn’t notice any difference.
A mont later, he gradually sensed what was different between this state and activating a "field."
If activating a "field" is like high-power electrical appliances being turned on, then the current state is more like there’s a "battery" in his "consciousness."
At this mont, this "battery" is fully charged, and as long as it’s not entirely consud, it can independently exist.
In short, the "field" is like a "tram," with high power and more superpowers available.
The current state is like a small "remote-controlled airplane" with a "battery," having very low power and superpowers...
Well, except for "area omniscience," there’s hardly any.
"A bit similar to ’astral projection.’"
Lu Li mused, "However, ’astral projection’ can use superpowers and consus a lot of energy. Mine is more like a ’power-saving mode’ of ’astral projection,’ but with so subtle differences. It seems it can continually beco stronger until one day, I can exhibit a ’field,’ or even more magical superpowers, in this invisible and intangible state."
This was the information he "anticipated" from this state, whether it is so or not remains unclear.
He rembered "astral projection" is an erroneous evolutionary thod with a certain distance limitation and cannot be separated from energy replenishnt, usually just the limit of the "field," roughly an eighty-kiloter radius.
Lu Li felt so curiosity, "Does the ’battery’ function an I can break through the ’field’ limit range and travel to farther places?"
With a thought, he was surprised to find his "consciousness" suddenly appeared above a mountain range beyond eighty kiloters!
This process might have taken only two or three seconds.
"Oh?" Lu Li beca interested, "In this state, I seem to be able to break through the ’field’ limit range, and with a thought, it seems I can go anywhere I want, breaking the limits of matter."
"Moreover, even if I’ve exceeded the ’field’ limit range from my physical body, I seem to still be able to sense and control the body."
Lu Li fully comprehended his current strange state, "No, I should say, there is still a real ’consciousness’ within , but because the physical body is too fatigued, that real ’consciousness’ has temporarily fallen into slumber."
In other words, even if my current "consciousness" were destroyed, it wouldn’t impact the real body.
Lu Li thought quietly for a while, still not understanding the situation.
But one thing could be sure: in the current state, energy consumption is extrely small.
Judging from the consumption rate, even if this "consciousness" doesn’t return to the physical body to replenish energy, it can last for twelve hours.
"When I traversed eighty kiloters in four or five seconds just now, it seed the consumption increased slightly."
Lu Li mused, "And I didn’t calculate whether it was two or three seconds to traverse eighty kiloters, I should test it to get a complete set of data."
Thinking this, he locked his gaze on the direction of Los Angeles and once again drifted away with a thought.
One second.
Five seconds.
Nine seconds.
When ten seconds arrived, Lu Li stopped and judged how far he had traveled.
In the end, he reached two conclusions.
First, long-distance travel does indeed increase energy consumption, but it’s still not particularly excessive, just slightly more than maintaining it, after all, "consciousness" is intangible and formless, so its energy consumption is naturally low.
Second, in ten seconds, he traveled at least 240 kiloters!
"24 kiloters per second?"
Lu Li found it sowhat unbelievable, "Even when I activate the Biological Force Field, my full-speed flight is only about 6 kiloters per second, yet in this state, the travel speed can actually be faster?"
He could sense that 24 kiloters per second was not the limit of this "consciousness state."
It’s just that when he wanted to teleport, it seed necessary to establish a connection with his physical body and get feedback before being allowed to teleport.
This feeling was like he was a drone, and the body was the remote control.
The "consciousness" needed to first send a command to the body.
The body would respond with a series of reactions, finally giving the "consent" command, allowing him to teleport.
"Wait a minute!" Lu Li suddenly thought of sothing, "I rember the limit speed of human thought is 120 ters per second. My current physical fitness strength is about 200 tis that of a normal human at their peak state. Teleporting 240 kiloters in ten seconds precisely corresponds to the speed of thought 200 tis that of normal physical fitness, doesn’t it?"
When he first completed the fourth deep evolution, his physical strength was roughly equal to slightly more than 100 tis that of a human at their peak.
As the days passed and he further enhanced himself, as evidenced by the direct judgnt from the expansion of the domain’s range.
Since the body was twice as strong as before, it was roughly 200 tis the peak of a normal human, wasn’t it?
He vaguely understood sothing.
Unsurprisingly, the idea that his "ntal state" could travel at a further distance was correct.
The reasons he cannot break this limit now are twofold.
First, the physical body is not powerful enough.
If the physical body reached ten thousand tis the peak physical strength of a human.
Perhaps he could teleport 1,200,000 ters in one second.
Which is 1,200 kiloters per second.
At first glance, this seems far from the speed of light, which is 300,000 kiloters per second.
However, Lu Li did not think this way, because there was a second reason.
The second reason is that his physical body is in deep sleep.
Everything is a reflex of the body, transmitting instructions to the "consciousness."
This is the instinctive behavior of the body.
Let’s not forget that his physical strength is not only nearly 200 tis higher than normal humans, but his body structure has also beco a semi-energy body.
If in a conscious state, the mind within a semi-energy body would operate even faster.
Just as information is transmitted at the speed of light through optical fibers, once he becos a true energy body, his thought speed should also be the speed of light.
Although a semi-energy body does not reach the speed of light, it might reach one-tenth or one-hundredth of the speed of light.
If this speculation is entirely correct, the teleportation speed of his "consciousness state" could at least reach between 3,000 and 30,000 kiloters per second.
Of course, this quick speed is just one advantage.
In reality, aside from the ability of "area omniscience" sensing with a radius of 80 kiloters, the "consciousness state" has no other superpowers.
Lu Li feels that the "consciousness state" is more like a "reconnaissance mode."
"What circumstances exactly have cultivated my state?"
He felt very puzzled inside, "Could this be the correct way of evolution? Yet, why is it so similar to ’Primordial Spirit leaving the body’? The only difference is that while ’Primordial Spirit leaving the body’ ultimately leads to becoming an energy body, this thod makes my ’consciousness’ more like a ’clone’, and according to my intuition, it could evolve into a ’Primordial Spirit leaving the body’ mode in the future, even stronger than ’Primordial Spirit leaving the body.’"
Lu Li suddenly recalled the Yang God ntioned in the Dao Sutra, able to split into countless forms and roam the heavens and worlds.
He pondered, could it be that his state is sowhat like the "Yang God"?
If he evolved to a more powerful state, could he also split into countless forms and roam the heavens and worlds?
"Whether or not this is the case, I can’t possibly understand it no matter how hard I think for now."
Lu Li knew that the boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge, and he would naturally comprehend when he evolves to that "transcendent realm."
"The most important thing for now is, to take advantage of the period when ’recon mode’ is open, to see if John Chris Morgan is in Fairbanks."
Thinking of this, Lu Li moved his "consciousness" northward.
Tijuana was a full 2,200 kiloters away from Fairbanks.
If in a normal physical state, Lu Li would need at least twenty minutes to fly such a long distance.
The "recon mode" travel speed is faster, reaching 24 kiloters in one second.
In less than a hundred seconds, his "consciousness" had already arrived over the city of Fairbanks.
Lu Li couldn’t help but marvel, "The speed is really too fast, truly amazing!"
