“To stir up a starstorm that sweeps across the universe with human power? That voice... was it an illusion? Number Two?”

“Beep! Information search in progress! Beep, search result: ‘Number Two’ was subjected to unknown interference at the time and was forced to shut down, leaving no relevant data.”

“Shut down...”

Recalling how all machinery on the entire battleship failed at that time, Ethan Brooks was not surprised that “Number Two” was forced to shut down.

“Is that really a realm that human power can reach? Humans can actually become so powerful!?”

Over and over in his mind, replaying that starstorm that filled the entire world, Ethan Brooks felt an indescribable shudder rising in his heart!

That realm!

Humans can actually become that powerful!

“Heaven above!”

Ethan Brooks muttered under his breath. Even someone as calm as he was, at this moment, was clenching his fists slightly, trembling, unable to control himself.

“If, in my life, I could reach such an achievement, I would have no regrets in this lifetime!”

……

“However, having personally experienced such a grand and magnificent scene, if I don’t strive toward that direction, that realm, in this life, how could I, Ethan Brooks, ever be content!?”

……

“Heaven above!”

Reciting these words again—it was awe, it was fervor, it was desire, it was determination, it was longing!

……

After a long time, the surging emotions in Ethan Brooks finally began to calm down.

It seemed that bowl of meat soup had its intended effect; Ethan Brooks could already feel some of his strength returning.

“A skyscraper rises from the ground. I am the young sect master of Yunlai Sword Sect. Yunlai Sword Sect has produced level-eight dangerous creatures. Reaching the level of a level-eight dangerous creature is my first step toward that transcendent realm.”

With this in mind, Ethan Brooks was already eager to get out of bed and learn more about this Yunlai Sword Sect that could produce level-eight dangerous creatures.

“Hmm?”

As soon as he tried to get out of bed, Ethan Brooks immediately felt a strong sense of discomfort between his mind and body, and between his body and the outside world... This kind of discomfort...

“Number Two, environmental analysis!”

“Beep! Environmental analysis in progress, estimated time: 32 seconds... Analysis result: The air composition of this planet is 2.6 times higher than that of Paradise Star, the most suitable planet for human habitation in the Federation, and contains a large amount of beneficial elements. The planet’s gravity is 6.2 times standard gravity. There are unknown elements in the air, composition analysis in progress...”

“6.2 times gravity, no wonder. To live on such a planet, even an ordinary person would become a superhuman if they went to the Federation. My escape pod failed to escape—gravity difference must be the culprit. As for the battleship crashing onto this star, it’s almost certainly because it was captured by this planet. With 6.2 times gravity, if I want to launch into the cosmic starry sky again, the escape velocity would have to be...”

After a quick calculation, Ethan Brooks was immediately stunned on the spot.

A moment later, he shook his head forcefully.

“Even if I could repair that battleship, it could never fly off this planet... That familiar star system, with that battleship, I’ll never be able to return. Unless I can become a powerhouse like that great being, with the power to stir up cosmic storms, able to destroy the universe and cross the stars with ease, wouldn’t traversing the universe be a piece of cake?”

Understanding his current predicament, Ethan Brooks immediately entered a meditative state.

Meditation.

The best method to restore one’s spirit. In the Milky Way galaxy, not even one in ten thousand can enter a meditative state, but Ethan Brooks, as a ninth-level psychic with one foot in the aristocratic circle, was a one-in-a-million genius. Given his commoner background, if not for his extraordinary talent in psychic cultivation, how could he have reached the realm of a ninth-level psychic without any resources?

Through meditation, in just half a day, his mental state had already improved significantly. While not fully restored to his peak, at least walking around was no problem at all.

“6.2 times gravity, truly terrifying. After my psychic scale reached the ninth level, I could actually project it outside my body, affecting external matter, performing telekinesis, psychic control, psychic sensing—things ordinary people could never achieve. But in this 6.2 times gravity environment, the omnipresent pressure from nature actually makes it hard for my psychic waves to spread out. My perception of the outside world is almost completely cut off. Telekinesis and other abilities are all unusable. At best, I’m just an ordinary person with keen senses.”

A ninth-level psychic, in that world, was definitely among the elite of the elite. If certified as a mecha knight, he would have the terrifying power to influence a small-scale war. But here, he couldn’t even control his surroundings.

“The old testing methods can no longer serve as evaluation standards. Looks like I need to update the database, Number Two!”

“Beep! Awaiting command.”

“Analyze my physical strength. Analyze my psychic scale. A ninth-level psychic’s psychic scale is 1. A level-four swordsman’s physical strength is 1.”
