Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven

Chapter 552: Source Magic Recta, The power to compress

”It is an origin ability,” the Origin Will said. ”It is what allows me to see everything around the world.”

”Can you use it?” Grey asked. ”I want to see how it works.”

”Un.” The Origin Will nodded and displayed her ability to perceive all of the world.

The instant she used it, Grey felt a profound shift happening.

It was a change originating from her mind.

His comprehension was immediately triggered.

”Eh?” However, what he felt shocked him. ”Source magic?”

He was momentarily speechless.

It turned out to be source magic. The power that intrinsically belonged to the ancient Chaos Race.

This was without a doubt one of the many core source magics. The Origin Will was unknowingly calling out to the source magic, which formed a complex neural network inside her sea of consciousness, or origin mind.

[Your comprehension defies the heavens! By observing a source magic, you have successfully learned: [Recta]]

Grey immediately tested the source magic. Several glowing magic runes lit up within his source as he reconnected to the origin of the world, overseeing everything.

Information surged forward like a tidal wave. The molecular changes, the shift in the universe’s expansion, the movement of countless billions of beings—they all rushed into his mind like an unstoppable tsunami.

However, unlike before, he did not feel overwhelmed. [Recta] absorbed everything and... was actively compressing the information!

[Recta] was fundamentally about data compression. With this volume of information, even he, someone with a seventh-rank power level, could not normally handle it. The sheer mass of data was being compressed into several dense data packs using [Recta]. Grey made some rapid adjustments. Immediately, he was able to apply the power of [Recta] directly to his mental server.

All the information he possessed became compressed, but being compressed did not delay the viewing of the data in the slightest. [Recta] worked in such a way that, even if compressed, the full content could be seamlessly observed. Combined with his mind interface, the data could be arranged in an even more efficient manner.

Right now, his data server was only at one percent capacity. Before learning [Recta], it had been half full.

”Damn. That was a good haul,” Grey smiled.

With that done, he patted the Origin Will’s head and asked, ”What about the abyss? Have they tried to invade you yet?”

”They have, but we easily beat them up.”

Grey smiled proudly upon hearing this.

Abyssal energy could not win against Aether energy. It was its ultimate bane.

This energy was specifically created for this purpose, after all: to contend against the abyss and to allow others to cultivate his path.

It was doing its job immaculately!

”I think it is time to make a decision about this world.”

Grey took hold of the Origin Will and descended back to reality.

Everyone was waiting for him in the Snow Empress’s palace.

”Alan. Now that I have discovered the Azure Origin Universe, I do not want to lose contact with them.”

”Is there a reliable way to come back here?”

”Hm.” Alan appeared thoughtful when he heard this. ”As it stands right now, the only way to do it is by using a reality ship.”

”I can give you my reality ship if you want, Master Grey,” Alan added. ”I have another one.”

”Hm.” Grey remained deep in thought.

Even if he used a reality ship, the extreme time dilation between the planes was still a massive issue.

Just then, his Soul Nourishing Jade blinked warmly. The World Tree’s voice transmitted directly into his head.

”Perfect One, if you want, I can help you.”

”Oh?” Grey looked interested. ”How can you help me?”

”I can anchor this world directly to the main world,” the World Tree explained. ”That way, you can use me to descend down here instantly. My roots are spread into every corner of the endless reality, after all.”

”That could work.” Grey gave a strong nod. ”But what about the time dilation?”

”I will also stabilize the flow of time,” the World Tree spoke confidently.

”Alright. That will work perfectly.” Grey nodded. ”Wait, if you can do that, does that mean we can just directly go back to the main world without having to tunnel back through the higher planes?”

”Yes. And it will take less than a minute as well,” the World Tree replied proudly.

”Damn...” Grey was genuinely surprised. The World Tree was proving itself to be more useful by the second, and he liked it a lot more now.

He brought his attention back to reality and turned to the group.

”Never mind, I have fixed the issue. The time of this world will now flow at the exact same rate as the main world.”

”Does that mean you will visit us more, Lord Grey?” the Snow Empress asked with a hopeful gaze.

”Of course.” Grey smiled.

Just then, Little Hong spoke up.

”Dad... who is that holding your hand?” Little Hong had a small glare on her face. Surprisingly, the little Origin Will was also glaring back at Little Hong.

Grey’s lips twitched when he saw the silent standoff.

”This is the Origin Will of this world.”

”What?” Everyone wore equally surprised expressions when they heard this. To think that little girl would be the Origin Will.

”Well, I think it is time to go back to NeoStar and assess the situation.”

”You all stay here.” He turned to the people who had come with him. ”Jasmine, come with me.”

”Coming~!” Jasmine readily jumped up from her seat and arrived next to Grey. They both then headed back to NeoStar.

The reason he made the others stay in the Azure Origin Universe was because it had a lot to see. It was also surprisingly more advanced than NeoStar.

On the way, he wanted to have a serious talk with Jasmine.

”Jasmine, what do you think about converting to my evolutionary path?” Grey asked with a look of hesitation. He knew Jasmine loved discovering new things and would likely hate being restricted to a single path.

”Hm?” Jasmine looked back at Grey casually. ”I am fine with that.”

”Huh?” Grey was genuinely surprised hearing this.
