Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16209

Chapter 16207 The Power of Shadows

Zhao Hai had never seen this kind of power before. He had some black crystals in his hand, formed from compressed energy, and he planned to study this energy carefully, as it was the first time he had ever seen it.

Back in his room, Zhao Hai took out a small piece of black crystal and gently stimulated it with his mental energy. A small ball of black energy appeared in his hand. Zhao Hai quietly sensed this black energy. This black energy was very strange. Although it was black, it seemed to have no attributes. This was the strangest thing about this energy.

All energy has attributes; even the most ordinary energy is divided into yin and yang. But this energy seemed to have no attributes at all. It didn’t belong to yin or yang; it was a completely new, attribute-less energy.

Zhao Hai quietly sensed this energy and found it very strange. It truly was a completely attribute-less energy, yet it seemed to possess an attribute—an attribute he didn’t understand.

This made Zhao Hai even more curious. He immediately began experimenting, wanting to see what kind of energy this was. With a flick of his hand, a ball of white light appeared. The moment the white light appeared, the small ball of black energy vanished instantly. Zhao Hai was stunned. Was this energy afraid of light? Was it really that afraid of light?

No, the energy hadn’t disappeared. Zhao Hai suddenly sensed something was wrong. At his level of strength, he was extremely sensitive to energy. Although the energy seemed to have disappeared, he felt it hadn’t vanished, but rather hidden itself.

Or rather, it had merged with his shadow on the ground. This greatly surprised Zhao Hai. He immediately retrieved the energy from his shadow. The energy was indeed within his shadow; it hadn’t disappeared, nor had it shrunk; it had simply merged with his shadow.

“A shadow?” Zhao Hai stared at the ball of energy, then began experimenting. He fused various energies with it, discovering that it could fuse with all energies except light, even fire. When this energy fused with other energies, those energies also merged into the shadow, completely integrating without any noticeable anomaly or energy fluctuation.

Looking at this shadow energy, Zhao Hai was certain it had no owner. This meant it wasn’t the energy of that god; it was simply ordinary shadow energy. However, this shadow energy was vastly different from ordinary shadows. Ordinary shadows have no energy, but this shadow energy was energy, yet it shared the same attribute as shadows. How did this energy originate?

Zhao Hai was very curious, so he continued to study this energy. He discovered that this energy could be compressed and diluted. For example, the ball of shadow energy in his hand could be compressed into black crystal, or diluted. After dilution, this ball of energy actually became an ordinary shadow, and it was impossible to retrieve it; it had truly merged into the shadow.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Hai immediately understood that this shadow energy was actually created by someone using special methods to compress shadows, turning ordinary shadows into energy. This was indeed very powerful, but how to compress shadows?

Zhao Hai immediately began experimenting. Shadows are everywhere; wherever there is light, there is a shadow. But how to compress these shadows required careful study.

Shadows cannot be considered a form of energy, just like light. Under normal circumstances, people don’t consider light as energy, but it is indeed a form of energy. The same is true for shadows; under normal circumstances, people don’t consider shadows as energy, but it is indeed a form of energy, it’s just that people haven’t recognized it before.

Now that Zhao Hai is treating shadows as energy, he can compress this energy. Every type of energy has its proper way of being used, and shadow energy is no exception.

However, Zhao Hai quickly discovered that shadow energy requires a special method to compress. Initially, he tried to compress shadow energy but couldn’t find a way. He also discovered that this shadow energy seemed to be thicker and more powerful than light, which surprised him. Zhao Hai

became serious and immediately began comparing this energy with other energies. He discovered something astonishing: shadow energy seemed to be more abundant than all other energies combined. How could Zhao Hai not be surprised?

Wanting to know why this was happening, Zhao Hai carefully observed this energy. He discovered that the world is filled with energies of various attributes, but these energies are like fish in the ocean. Although there is a lot of water in the ocean, no matter how many fish there are, it is not as much as the water. Shadow energy is like that water; it carries all the other energies.

This discovery surprised Zhao Hai even more. He really hadn’t expected that this shadow energy was actually a kind of energy that could carry all kinds of energy. This made Zhao Hai think of something, namely dark matter.

Dark matter is a special type of matter that is ubiquitous in the universe, accounting for 85% of the total mass of matter in the universe. How similar this is to the shadow energy that Zhao Hai discovered!

Zhao Hai suddenly felt excited. If he could master this power, he wouldn’t have to worry about any enemy anymore. However, mastering this power was no easy task.

But this wasn’t a problem for Zhao Hai. He had time; he could study it slowly. He believed he could definitely master this power, he definitely could.

Zhao Hai’s first step was to slowly merge his mental power with this power. He wanted to see what kind of power this was, how it was generated, and only in this way could he truly master it.

However, this tactic, which had always worked, failed this time, which greatly surprised Zhao Hai. He discovered that his mental power seemed unable to combine with that power. This was something Zhao Hai had never encountered before. He immediately began to search for the reason; he wanted to know why his power couldn’t combine with that power, what the cause was.

Zhao Hai quickly understood why: his mental power couldn’t keep up with the shadow energy. Previously, Zhao Hai’s mental power had been invincible because it was incredibly fast; its processing speed could match the energy, allowing it to combine with it. But this time was different. This time, Zhao Hai discovered that his mental power couldn’t keep up with the shadow energy’s speed—something he had never encountered before, hence his astonishment. Zhao Hai frowned.

If he couldn’t combine his mental power with this force, he couldn’t fully control it. Most importantly, this problem remained unsolved.

What was Zhao Hai’s current strength? He was already at the level of a creator god, capable of fighting against the God of Creation. How fast was his mental power? Even so, he still couldn’t connect with the shadow energy. How could he solve this? There was no way to solve it. He couldn’t possibly achieve a qualitative leap in his mental power in a short period of time, could he? Unless his mental power undergoes a qualitative leap in a short period, he cannot connect with the Yin energy.

Zhao Hai frowned, a headache forming in his head. If he couldn’t connect with the power of shadow, he couldn’t fully grasp the power of Yin and Yang, and thus couldn’t proceed to the next step.

In other words, he had to start from the very first step, but the problem was, he couldn’t even begin, which was the most frustrating thing for him.

Wait a minute, Zhao Hai suddenly realized something. He was wrong. Connecting with the power of shadow wasn’t the first step. The shadow energy was there; even without connecting with it, he could still use it. It’s like many people who don’t know how to generate electricity but still use it every day—knowing and using are two different things.

Why not use the power of shadow first, gradually understanding it in the process? Once fully understanding it, he could try to establish a connection. Perhaps then he could connect with the power of shadow. If that were the case, then mastering the power of shadow wouldn’t be far off.

Zhao Hai realized he had indeed made a mistake. He had taken too big a step, wanting to master the power of shadow all at once, forgetting just how powerful it was. It was stronger than all the power Zhao Hai currently possessed combined. Under these circumstances, it was impossible for Zhao Hai to master the power of shadow instantly. Therefore, he had to proceed slowly, step by step, first learning to use the power of shadow, then understanding it, and finally fusing it, until he ultimately mastered it.

Thinking this through, Zhao Hai breathed a sigh of relief. He stopped thinking about practicing or mastering the power of shadow and began to think about how to use it. The power of shadow was there, but to use it, he had to compress it first. Only after compression could he use it; otherwise, he couldn’t. (End of Chapter)
