EBE Chapter 5 The Divided World
Chapter 5 The Divided World
As the relevant information flooded his mind, Huang Hong's expression changed from excitement to calm.
Human potential?
Huang Hong admitted that he really shouldn't have had too many expectations for this.
Once you reach the maximum level, your potential is fully activated. What you gain is not any special ability or talent, but simply a stream of energy that can enhance your own attributes!
Moreover, this strengthening energy is instantaneous, only targeting Huang Hong's current physical attributes, and must be guided and used immediately, otherwise it will directly merge into his body and be evenly distributed to strengthen his four-dimensional attributes.
Without much hesitation, after a brief moment of thought, Huang Hong channeled this power into his physical attributes. Instantly, 90% of this energy surged into his physical attributes, while the remaining 10% was distributed across his strength, agility, and intelligence.
Huang Hong possesses the ability to enhance all things, but this enhancement requires consuming physical strength, spirit, energy, soul, mind, existence, and all other tangible and intangible things to transform into equivalent 'value'.
At this stage, the cheapest consumable for Huang Hong is naturally his own physical strength. Improving his physical attributes is the best way to expand his advantages.
The energy cleansing was incredibly refreshing. Huang Hong felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring when he was extremely tired, with every pore on his body relaxing and he couldn't help but let out a pleasant groan.
"Ahem!"
After a few breaths, Huang Hong came to his senses and quickly covered up his embarrassment. Fortunately, no one was around and no one was looking after him, otherwise it would definitely have been a dark history for him.
After adjusting his mindset, Huang Hong opened his extraordinary panel. Apart from his physique attribute increasing by 1 point, his other attributes remained unchanged.
Huang Hong suddenly felt a slight tingling sensation from the wound on his back. He unbuttoned his clothes, reached out and gently touched the wound, and found that it had already healed, leaving only a shallow mark.
Huang Hong adjusted his body for a while, then decomposed the goblin's corpse, gaining 3 points of source energy.
Next, Huang Hong made a preliminary plan for his next move...
Firstly, one should accumulate source energy to enhance more items and improve strength.
Secondly, explore the world of the amusement park as much as possible to figure out why it turned out this way.
Having determined these two action guidelines, Huang Hong looked at the Cultural Museum. This somewhat ancient-style building shimmered in the sunlight, standing out like a crane among chickens in this suburban location.
If Huang Hong wanted to observe his surroundings, going to the top floor of the museum for a panoramic view was the best option.
Thanks to the absence of human traces in the surrounding area, the monsters naturally wandered away as well, and any that were missed were all eliminated by Huang Hong.
Upon entering the museum and ascending the stairs, one can frequently see bloodstains splattered on the reliefs, as well as scattered, uncollected pieces of flesh in the corners.
Soon Huang Hong arrived at a storeroom on the top floor of the museum, and then climbed up the internal stairs to the roof.
Fortunately, Huang Hong had helped out here before, so he was familiar with the place.
Besides housing numerous computer cases, the rooftop is primarily used for raising pigeons.
Ignoring all of this, Huang Hong went straight to the edge of the roof and looked into the distance. What he saw next made him gasp involuntarily.
The distant sky and earth were neatly divided into different blocks. Although he was currently in the suburbs of Anyue City, he could see various buildings standing tall, giving it a modern feel.
But as the gaze moved eastward, about three or four miles away, the landscape abruptly split into two completely different ecological environments…
To the southeast lies a jungle made of flesh and blood. All the trees and bushes are clumps of writhing flesh and blood. From a distance, you can see them rhythmically contracting and expanding, like a complete living thing.
To the northeast lies an endless wasteland, the earth composed of gravel and sand, with massive stone pillars piercing the sky. Above, thick clouds hang heavy, and one can vaguely see enormous figures moving through them.
Three completely different worlds are arranged side by side, creating a stark sense of conflict.
…………
Anyue City, city center.
Suddenly, cracks appeared in the calm space, and then it opened up abruptly to form a black cavity from which three figures—two men and one woman—emerged.
Although these three individuals have human appearances, they also possess non-human features such as sharp horns and tails.
The man in the lead had a cold expression and exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay. He didn't say much, just quietly looked at the sky, seemingly lost in thought.
Behind him stood a man and a woman; the man was arrogant, and the woman was alluring.
The arrogant man complained, "Those old guys are insane! To put 'qualification' in such a remote and impoverished place, do they really think that the Black Iron race, which can't even awaken the extraordinary, can give birth to any treasures?!"
The alluring woman chuckled and said, "The old men have their own considerations. Besides, it's just letting these ants hold onto the 'qualification' for a while. Even if they can break through the Paradise World, they'll still need to undergo a bloody test to truly inherit the 'qualification.' At that time, we can naturally take the 'qualification' back."
"Hmph!" The arrogant man snorted coldly and said, "Of course I know about this kind of thing, but the thought of such a sacred 'qualification' being defiled by these ants makes me furious!"
The alluring woman waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, let's get started. This is, after all, the Paradise World. We can only come in during the gap when it's devouring new areas. Once the rules of this area are completely assimilated by the Paradise World, leaving won't be so easy."
The arrogant man spat in annoyance, and his saliva melted the ground, forming a lava crater.
Then, the arrogant man took out a regular, multifaceted crystal and began to inject energy into it.
However, after a moment, the arrogant man frowned and said, "Strange, there seems to be something wrong with the spacetime in this area; it's impossible to condense a spacetime echo."
"Oh?" the alluring woman said with interest. "Let me think. Usually, this situation is caused by the spacetime energy level of the area being too low."
"'Mostly'?" the arrogant man asked doubtfully. "Could there be other possibilities?"
The alluring woman rolled her eyes at him and said, "You really are ignorant. There are some special cases, such as when certain great beings fight and cause spacetime disorder, interfering with the past and the future."
"However, the original world of this area is definitely not like this, otherwise the Paradise World would not have been able to tear this area apart so easily."
The arrogant man shrugged, unconcerned, and asked instead, "So what should we do now?"
The alluring woman said, "So what? Since we can't extract spacetime from this area, let's expand the scope and extract spacetime from other areas to create a spacetime echo."
The arrogant man didn't care, but he still glanced at his boss. Seeing that the latter didn't react, he began his operation, saying, "Well, even if they're unlucky, mixing different worlds' timelines together will only create unstable time-space echoes. Chaotic rules will give birth to all sorts of aberrations. Hehe, this is going to be fun!"
……
Fellow high-dimensional observers, how about we play a game?
The two routes that appear in this chapter, "Jungle of Flesh and Blood" and "Plains of Giant Beasts," are the routes that the protagonist will take after leaving Anyue City.
I will list the options below, based on the number of comments. From the moment this chapter is published until 23:59:59 on March 16, 2025, the protagonist will take the path that has the most comments.
↓↓↓↓↓↓
Flesh and Blood Jungle: A vast jungle made of endless flesh and blood, where every step is fraught with danger, and it doesn't seem like a good choice.
Giant Beast Plains: A plain teeming with enormous, ferocious beasts. Encountering any of them will result in far more than just a near-death experience.

Important Notice!!!
The protagonist will obtain important items on these two routes that can influence future developments and partially change the future plot. Please make your choices carefully.
Note: There is no option to have it all, because the protagonist will not take the risk of retracing their steps.
