Chapter 11: Astral Ascension

The rock calmly pondered its class choice. It neither rushes nor delays in choosing. It was a simple existence, and it briefly considered the meaning of the sentence, but not too deeply, and did not hesitate to take it off.

Because it's in space now. Far from the mountains, far from the earth. It doesn't scroll anymore. Now it's more like ...... Spinner, really. If "The Rolling Stones" is no longer released, can it still consider itself "The Rolling Stones"?

One must be true to oneself.

The rock watched with satisfaction as it changed. There are two skills that have changed, and although they have not changed much, they have changed. In addition, the stone has become larger.

It loved it.

Then, as if it were an agile thinker, the stone shifted to the next problem on its list: the gem that contained a wealth of mana, and it had not yet begun to absorb.

It stretched out its tendrils of magic, poked it around the crystal, slowly but surely absorbed it into its own body, deeply absorbing the magic, growing its own cultivation base.

Steal Repair Activation!

Convert artifacts into energy...

That's it!

Level up!

1000 / 1000 magic

You've reached the sixth level of cultivation!

You are now in the [Meltheart] realm.

The gem's energy is very abundant, providing energy to the mana shield of the entire city, so the stone is not surprised because it is enough to break through. However, there are few things that can surprise the stone. It has a stoic face and reacts with the same stone-like calmness no matter what comes across.

And just like that, it grew up again.

Statistics!

Energy level (E) = 1 000 000 W

Core temperature: 1000K

Moving on to the next frontier = need to break through.

Then, finally solving the first two problems on the list, the stone finally turned to the third problem: its environment. Perhaps out of a vague sense of avoidance, it subconsciously put it last. Because...... Stone is really angry.

Very angry.

Pursue:

Current altitude: 363 300 000 m

Up to now. It's further than it thinks. It's so close. So close! It's almost there, and it's right in front of it. These numbers used to be double digits!

Now, when the rock uses [Orbital Slingshot] to hold where it thinks it is, there are nine. It became nine digits when it was almost one.

It also remembered the appearance of the jade carving at the end of the journey, an elegant woman in a robe, her figure reaching out to the sky, as if welcoming the rock home from a long voyage. The rock jumped out and tried to grab his arm, but it didn't.

Because of that person. Not the damn guy - that stone doesn't have feelings like hatred. It just hopes that the person isn't there. But, as before, the stone was powerless to resist someone else grabbing it and taking it wherever they liked.

First orcs, then hunters, and finally dragons. Everyone picks up the stones and plays with them however they like. As long as they help it reach its destination, making the number smaller, the rock will accept it.

It's better than being stuck in place. At least until the last case, [Supreme Archmage].

But now, the stone realizes something. If China really wants to bring this road to an end, it must rely on its own strength, not borrow the strength of others. Because otherwise, those people will drag the stone along – using it for their own ends.

I'll never see you again. So the stone agreed.

It was only then that the rock unleashed its senses to truly observe its surroundings.

It saw the planet below. A blue gem scattered across green continents covered with a layer of fluffy clouds. It spends so much time in it without realizing its true form. Because, now the stone is aware. The world it once lived in......

That's just a very big rock.

Mind you, there are people inside, towns, dragons, and dungeons. But the base material is still stone. The rock remembered its original purpose.

It once wanted to be the biggest rock.

Now, it is humbled and finally realizes that its mission is monumental. But...... It has no despair. It didn't jump for joy. It just calmly opens its stats screen and checks the numbers listed above.

Diameter (d): 4.61m

Then, it closed the screen and looked at the planet in front of it again. If the estimate is correct...... This could be ......

The rock takes quite some time to level.

But then, it saw shadows being drawn on the canvas of the world, and saw the moon rise from behind the earth, like a brilliant pearl emerging from the blue ocean.

Another big rock.

Then, it finally noticed the small rocks around it - they were members of the Rock Congregation, and they had made their way through the slums and had been launched out of Earth's gravitational wells with our hero. Small stones, small gravel. Sand – or just very small rocks.

Big stones and small stones.

Then, it turned its senses outward, looking at the orange sphere that was so small, glittering in the starry sky. Or is it just ...... Up to now?

Nothing more than another stone – a glowing stone, of course – perhaps the largest of all.

So the rock realized an important truth about this world. At its core, everything is rocky. Keep going down. Some are just a little bigger than others. At least for now. Fundamentally, the rock is no different from the planet below it, or the grains of sand floating next to it.

It's just a difference in size and strength.

Level up!

Stone skin

After realizing the truth about all the stones, you can now perceive your other relatives in the solar system

The rock felt a new sensation emanating from it, some kind of field or field, and then realized that this was the field it felt for the first time in the dungeon - when it began to cultivate. If the planet has such a magnetic field, and the planet is just a big rock, why can't it also have such a magnetic field?

Everything is starting to make sense.

And this new ability, when the stone focuses on it, it feels a map open in its mind. Stones, stones, pebbles, so many stones, all swirl around the giant in the center, like an elaborate starlight dance. Smaller satellites orbit larger satellites, and larger satellites orbit larger satellites. Many are as big as the planets below, and some are even larger.

Others are a little larger than our heroes and are part of a huge rock in orbit at the midpoint of the solar system.

It has a lot to do with rocks. It used [Meteor Shower] and began to regroup the scattered and broken fragments of its legion together as a re-forged band of heroes. It abandoned its senses and felt more rocks scattered across the starry sky, waiting for it to gather. Its new congregation naturally entered its new territory and had its own track.

Once again, our hero looked down at the planet below and made a decision.

In fact, it's too weak. It still remembered that the gravity spell had firmly grasped its stone flesh, pushing it higher and higher. It...... I don't want to go through it again.

So it won't be rushed. It will travel through the starry sky and collect more rocks. It's going to get bigger. Then, once the time comes......

It will be back. And there will be no going back.

Pursue:

Current height: 370 200 123 meters

One last glance at its distance figures, the rock silently said goodbye to its home planet, freed itself from the [Orbital Slingshot], and then used [Energy Conversion] - turning Qi into momentum - and began to accelerate faster and faster, leaving its home planet and heading towards other rock clusters it could feel. Towards the large stone in the distance.

It will be back soon. On the time scale of the rocks, of course.

A stone has all the time in the world and the patience of a stone. It noticed the last detail, after constantly using [Energy Conversion] to speed up.

Current speed: 751.7 m/s

It doesn't slow down anymore.
