"It's true!"
" Everything in the void is real. I really opened the mind space and awakened my superpower!"
Cao Ren was surprised and shocked. He had returned to the empty space in his dream last night. Then, he realized that the empty space was his spiritual space.
The silver water droplet in his spirit space was a special power produced by the vibrations of his spirit space-heartforce.
Heartforce was a mysterious power that seemed to have the terrifying ability to make one's wishes come true. The ability that Cao Ren had just used was born from his consciousness accidentally coming into contact with heartforce.
This superpower that was born from heartforce could turn everything he had into frames. Cao Ren called it the superpower of frames.
This ability was just like the name Cao Ren had given it. It had only one core ability, and it was Wang Shang's world.
Simply put, Cao Ren's existence was like the main character in a 3D movie. All his movements and the flow of time were made up of 3D images like a movie.
In Cao Ren's eyes, the world was no longer like a solid, continuous line that flowed continuously.
Instead, it was a dotted line formed by countless dots separated by an infinitely small distance.
Each dot was the 3D image of that dot. In the end, the 3D images of countless dots formed the world in Cao Ren's eyes.
And relying on this ability, it also extended two basic abilities.
One was the "indirect" version of photographic memory.
From the moment Cao Ren awakened his ability to visualize the scene, every trace that he took was turned into a 3D image. It was like watching a movie. If you felt that you didn't pay attention to the front, you could go back and watch it carefully again. You could even pause the scene at that moment and watch it carefully.
The " photographic memory " extended from his ability to visualize his surroundings allowed Cao Ren's consciousness to instantly enter his body at a certain moment in the past. He could use his five senses to re-experience everything that he saw, heard, and smelled in that instant in the 3D image.
This kind of photographic memory was like an open-book exam. It wasn't that Cao Ren really remembered everything in the past. It was like he had taken countless 3D photos of his past and then flipped them out when he needed to.
This extended ability was like watching a movie and going back to the past to sense everything, so Cao Ren temporarily called this ability consciousness reversal.
Another extension of his ability was to allow Cao Ren to go back to a 3D image of a certain moment in the past.
However, this time, it wasn't his consciousness that returned to the past, but Cao Ren himself!
It was just like how Cao Ren had just returned to his bed from where he was standing.
This was what surprised Cao Ren the most. The only thing he wasn't sure about was whether his " going back to the past " was really going back in time or just going back in space.
The difference between the two was huge.
The former meant that Cao Ren could really go back to the past, which meant that he had obtained eternal life and could be reborn into the past indefinitely.
As for the latter, it was equivalent to teleporting in space. It was a bit like Ike's ultimate move in League of Legends, returning to a certain self in his past trajectory.
In order to test whether it was the former or the latter, Cao Ren got up and took out his phone. He adjusted the stopwatch and started the countdown.
Cao Ren walked to the window and pulled down the curtains.
Although there was only one family opposite his house, and they were separated by dozens of meters, it was usually impossible to see his movements in the room.
But just in case, it was better to be careful.
After the founding of the country, no abnormal people or things were allowed.
If he, an esper, was discovered, who knew what kind of supernatural beings he would attract?
Those novels that exposed their superpowers to cooperate with the country and lead the country were all nonsense.
One had to know that the human heart was unpredictable.
Without absolute power to suppress it, if he exposed his ability, who knew what kind of evil spirits he would attract?
Who knows, the moment you leak this information, some evil big shot will come up with a plan to capture you alive, and even a bed in the research institute will be prepared for you.
Therefore, Cao Ren had to be extra careful before he had absolute power to ensure his safety.
It was not easy for him to have the possibility of eternal life, and Cao Ren did not want to die before he could achieve it.
One minute later, Cao Ren activated his superpower and teleported to where he was standing.
Cao Ren quickly looked at the phone in his hand and saw that the countdown was still going on, and the time hadn't returned to the beginning.
Cao Ren knew that his 'going back to the past' was in space, not time.
In other words, this was a teleportation, not a space-time travel.
But this…shouldn't be the case?
Cao Ren frowned. There was no reason why a superpower awakened at a time when he wanted to live forever would not be related to immortality.
Otherwise, what was the point of him awakening this ability?
To Cao Ren, he couldn't live forever. No matter how strong he was, it would be meaningless once he was buried decades later.
"Again!"
Cao Ren was unwilling to give up. He started the countdown again and walked around the room. This time, he waited for five minutes before activating his superpower and returning to his original position.
However, Cao Ren's heart sank as he watched the countdown on his phone continue.
It was only a spatial displacement. He did not go back to the past, which meant that this ability could not make him immortal.
Cao Ren returned to his bed and sat down, deep in thought.
Finally, Cao Ren stood up again. His expression returned to normal, and his gaze became much more determined.
"It's impossible for me to awaken my superpower for no reason."
"So this superpower will definitely grant me eternal life."
" I can't go back to the past now, but that doesn't mean I can't in the future. After all, abilities have to be developed. Just like the awakening of the Devil's Fruit, if my ability to turn into frames is awakened or upgraded, I might be able to go back to the past."
" So, what I need to do in the future is to develop the super power of frame count."
How to develop it?
Cao Ren was confused. This was his first time awakening his superpower, and he had no idea how to develop it.
No one gave him a reference, so he could only figure it out himself.
How to explore?
Cao Ren thought for a while and the only solution he could think of was to use more superpowers.
Didn't they say that practice makes perfect and that quantity leads to qualitative change?
Perhaps after using it more often and becoming more familiar with it, his superpower would be able to improve further.
Following this train of thought, Cao Ren began to teleport around the room, returning to the spatial locations of the previous points.
Every path he took was his Flying Thunder God's spatial coordinates. He could teleport there in an instant.
Cao Ren carefully sensed the feeling of space movement.
He realized that this kind of spatial movement was not like the point-to-point movement of spatial ability, or the wormhole-like spatial movement.
Instead, it was a bit like a map. It was to move him from this position to a three-dimensional image in the past to replace himself in the image, thereby achieving an effect similar to spatial movement.
So this ability was called 'Capturing Images... Teleportation'?
