Wang Xiao blinked, "...Not entirely sure, but it involved some kind of reaction involving plutonium or uranium, I think?"


    Aurora nodded with a beaming smile, "Exactly. Now imagine recing plutonium or uranium with hypothetical Element X, possessing the capability to manipte gravitational forces and, by extension, time itself, or Element Y, which could be used to rend the very fabric of spacetime for instantaneous travel. Envision these extraordinary phenomena as mere interactions between elemental forces."


    "Consider the myriad elements that might have existed in the ancient past or in the unexplored reaches beyond Earth. There could exist minerals capable of tearing through spacetime itself!"


    "Once Aether dissipated, the arcane knowledge we Pangeans held became obsolete,pelling humanity to adapt anew. Now, your generation is on the brink of rediscovery, piecing together the mysteries of existence."


    "Imagine if humanity were to uncover a substance capable of altering spacetime. By harnessing such a substance, they could develop devices enabling inteary travel or even instantaneous movement across vast distances."


    "Furthermore, through advancements in biotechnology, modern humans might achieve what we once did through the sheer power of our evolved minds—altering their physiological makeup. In the future, they could potentially engineer their brains to harness Psychokinesis."


    "And it doesn''t stop there. By mastering the elements and their frequencies to the utmost degree, even in the absence of Aether, humanity could perform feats that seem magical by today''s standards."


    "Consider your current quantum theory, which posits that the particlesposing your body are in perpetual motion, albeit on a scale so minute you appear stationary. Now, what if you could influence this constant motion through Psychokinesis?"


    "....You could also —  Develop your perception to recognize the substances that humanity has yet to uncover. The possibilities are boundless; it might require time, but humans could eventually mimic the frequencies the brain employs tomunicate with other particles..." Aurora''s words painted a vivid picture, and as Wang Xiao absorbed her words, his expression shifted to one of enlightenment.


    "It seems more feasible now that you exin it. Using PK, I knew someone, who could concentrate her mental energy topress space, causing explosions, and she could even generate fire and wind..." Wang Xiao reflected, reminiscing about Bing Xueli''s capabilities.


    Aurora''s agreement was prompt. "Right! That''s Psychokinesis at a molecr level. By elerating the motion of atoms in a specific area, thereby increasing kic energy, you elevate the temperature, resulting in fire.


    Should your friend push beyond, exerting such pressure that atomic nuclei can no longer maintain their cohesion, it might lead to nuclear fusion, or in an extreme scenario, copse into a singrity, forming a ck hole!"


    "It''s even conceivable to synthesize new types of particles, essentially creating anything. In the Pangean era, simr principles were applied using Aether. However, Aether, being a muchrger and more massive particlepared to others, was simpler to manipte."


    "Even now, rearranging the atoms could give you, atom of water, that is less catastrophic, but still far harder as it was used to be when thier was Aether." Aurora spoke, slightly curious of whom Wang Xiao can refer as friend.


    Wang Xiao face darkened, "So you mean, my normal practice seesions can one day, erase our whole gxy as I identally copse it under a ck hole."


    Aurora smiled bitterly, "You need enough strength to put that much pressure first."


    Wang Xiao, "So... Not possible?"


    Aurora shook her head, "For mortals? Not possible, but you forget important thing about evolution, it works in real time, so if you start to beat your hand against a tree everyday From early ages, till you grown up, your bones in hands would be already far stronger than average limit of human bones."


    "Averages are wrost estimate, as people forget to consider, it''s an average, and it can change as you change poption, not to mention you don''t need to abide by it."


    "So considering, you can live few thousand years, and practice PK daily, you should be able to atleast get to level to diintegrate things and copse reality."


    Hearing Aurora''s projection, Wang Xiao was visibly startled. "A few thousand years!?"


    Aurora affirmed with a nod, "Yes, that''s the timeline for someone like you. Given that you''re only 22 and already exhibit psychokic abilities a hundred times more potent than the average practitioner, you''re venturing into territories beyond my wildest spections."


    Aurora offered a smile, aiming to encourage him, but Wang Xiao wasn''t consoled—daunted by the prospect of needing millennia to reach his potential.


    The idea of spending thousands of years to master his abilities seemed overwhelming.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Observing his crestfallen expression, Aurora found herself at a loss for words.


    Why did the mention of time dishearten him so?


    Was the timeframe too ambitious, or had she inadvertently set it too conservatively?


    She pondered, realizing the chasm between their perspectives.


    For Aurora, even a timeline spanning millions of years to achieve such profound mastery seemed reasonable, underscoring the vast differences in perception between them.


    Her gauge of time, influenced by her own journey and the long history of the Pangeans, starkly contrasted with Wang Xiao''s human impatience and thirst for swift progress.


    Rustle...


    As Aurora began to dress, Wang Xiao followed suit, their journey to Transylvania having reached its destination.


    Yet, a persistent curiosity gnawed at Wang Xiao,pelling him to probe further into the ancient mysteries. "Hey... What existed before Pangea?" he inquired, his interest piqued.


    Aurora, seemingly anticipating such a question, replied with a casual ease, "Our knowledge of our past is as fragmented as your understanding of yours. I might share more another time, but for today, it''s irrelevant—and it might unsettle you, or more urately, provoke your anger."


    "Make me angry?" Wang Xiao was taken aback by her response. It was rare for anything to truly rile him, sparking his curiosity even further.


    With a swift motion, they both leaped from the sky, descending towards andscape where ancient forests stretched endlessly, culminating at a medieval-style pce perched on the very edge of the horizon.


    With a resonant boom, theynded a distance from the pce, opting to approach the domicile of Asmodeous on foot.
