Chapter 492 - 342: Laser Eyes
Wang Ye put the herb into his mouth and chewed a few times, immediately feeling the bitter taste spreading through his entire mouth.
But he simply continued to extend his hand and pointed at his mouth.
A light burst from his fingertip.
Within it, the Primordial Qi penetrated inside, transforming into nanoscopic units, starting to alter the internal chemical structure of the herb he had chewed into crumbs.
In an instant, the bitterness that spread throughout his mouth turned into sweetness.
This was because the internal chemical structure of the herb had been altered by him.
The five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty, to put it simply, are concepts composed of different chemical elements,
Firstly, the stimulus of sourness mainly comes from hydrogen ions. When hydrogen ions in food bind with receptors on the taste buds, it generates the sensation of sourness. Sweetness is mainly triggered by carbohydrates, which bind with sweet receptors on taste buds, creating the sensation of sweetness. Bitterness is mainly caused by alkaloids, phenolic compounds, etc. These compounds bind with bitter receptors on taste buds, generating the sensation of bitterness. Spiciness, in fact, is a type of pain sensation, caused by compounds like capsaicin stimulating capsaicin receptors. Spiciness is not a basic taste, but a stimulative sensation. Lastly, the salty taste mainly comes from sodium and potassium ions, binding with taste buds on the tip of the tongue, generating the sensation of saltiness.
These chemical elements are not complex and were thoroughly explored by humans a century ago. However, humans currently mainly focus on extracting these elements for research, and this technology is not widely used in daily life.
Therefore, as long as the internal chemical components of food are altered, its flavor can be changed, transforming a very bitter and unpalatable food into something as delicious as a gourmet dish. Hence, the technology to alter food flavor can exist, but humans have not yet fully mastered it.
But now, after Wang Ye acquired knowledge of the Third Stage Innate Skill, he easily gained this ability. This is a capability gained after further elevating the Innate Skill—Reconstruction of All Things.
All complicated matters, in Wang Ye’s eyes, are deconstructed into strings of virtual objects like codes, which can easily be transformed or grown through his thoughts.
Wang Ye felt a surge of amazement within.
To know that this ability can be used beyond just accelerating the growth of plants and animals.
Reconstruction of All Things signifies that he can now control most of the things he recognizes.
As long as he can identify the elemental composition of an object before him, he can easily decompose and reconstruct it.
Wang Ye summoned the panel to see what name the Skill granting him this ability was given.
[Creation lv1 (0.01%)]
Upon seeing the name on the panel, Wang Ye was slightly taken aback.
The term Creation is certainly not ordinary.
In his impression, the term Creation generally symbolizes supreme power or supreme fortune.
In mythological stories, it also represents the abilities of certain powerful Divine Beings.
It refers to changes and transformations in nature, encompassing the historical evolution of both mankind and nature, embodying a mysterious force and causal manifestation, permeating the Cosmos, influencing the destiny of all living things.
Essentially, it is a natural vitality, the driving force behind the operation of the Cosmos and all things, surpassing human rational understanding, manifesting in myriad forms, where on a macro level, it includes phenomena like the sun, moon, stars, wind, clouds, thunder, lightning, seasonal cycles, etc., all embodiments of Creation, while on a micro level, the generation, growth, death, reproduction, and mutation of all things are also expressions of Creation.
For an individual who can control Creation, it is no exaggeration to say that they can already be called a supreme Divine Being.
On Baidu’s entry, the term "Creation" is explained as creative evolution, referring first to the creator of nature; also signifies nature; secondly, creative nurturing; thirdly, fortune, luck; and lastly, grant fortune.
Now his Skill has been named Creation by the system.
This, without a doubt.
Indicates that the function of this Skill is unquestionably beyond what he imagined.
Wang Ye continued to turn his gaze to other things.
Today in Sichuan, there’s some light rain, the sky is very gloomy,
tiny raindrops continuously fall on Wang Ye’s face and hands, somewhat chilly.
He extended his hand, and the raindrops gradually fell onto his palm.
Forming dense clusters of water beads.
In the eyes of others,
he’s just standing in the rain, lost in thought.
But in his eyes, these billions of raindrops carry countless exceedingly complex mathematical formulas, forming countless grayish-white threads, connecting all the raindrops together, an amount of information enough to overwhelm an ordinary person’s brain, yet in Wang Ye’s eyes, they’re as simple as one plus one.
He can, through these naturally surfaced formulas in his mind, judge the volume and weight of each raindrop, even determine their respective falling points.
When a gust of wind blows, these formulas will change like garbled text, approximately three seconds later, they will stabilize again to a relatively stable state. To know that for current human science levels, most of the phenomena in the natural world can be called chaotic and disordered, humans almost cannot accurately determine the flow of wind and water, locations of lightning strikes, times of tectonic movements, they can only use prediction methods with large margins of error to shallowly estimate approximately, thus avoiding misfortune.
For most people, "prediction" is a skill long desired.
Even in some films, there are instances of indirect and seamless killings achieved through "prediction".
