The Knowledge Imprint was incredibly powerful.
This thing directly affects the soul, so there's no need to worry about it being stolen or restricted.
Chen Ping took a deep breath, calming himself down.
This unexpected bonus reward was already in hand, but what came next was crucial for his future achievements.
He could choose to master a total of nine branches of knowledge.
Looking at the dozens of swirling vortexes before him, how should he select and combine the suitable knowledge?
Only now did Chen Ping understand what the previous nine trials were for.
It turned out that from the moment he entered the Hall of Knowledge, he was being guided on how to systematically receive knowledge.
Only with a system can knowledge be transformed into power.
Haphazardly, one can only be strong for a moment.
Chen Ping possessed insights from two lives, and in some aspects, his thinking was not as limited as that of people in the current world.
Many times, as long as one breaks out of existing limitations, a whole new grand vision can be opened.
In this regard, Chen Ping never underestimated himself.
This was also the advantage of many transmigrators.
Knowing more than you is simply knowing more than you, there's no logic to it.
Perhaps elsewhere, this slight advantage would be nothing at all.
But in the Hall of Knowledge, this was a ladder to heaven!
His gaze swept over the vortexes one by one, and each contact provided a brief introduction to that branch of knowledge.
Chen Ping didn't hesitate much and first chose Science, Magic, Mysticism, Theology, and Domination.
The first four were about the essence of knowledge, and the last one was about the application of knowledge.
For the remaining four, Chen Ping had to fall into deep thought.
Even though the timer had started, he wasn't in a hurry to make a decision.
This was the foundation for future development; once missed, it would require a hundred or even a thousand times more effort to recover later.
Evolutionary Studies.
Essence Studies.
Dimensional Studies.
Consciousness Studies.
A full day passed before Chen Ping finally selected the subsequent four branches of knowledge.
The other unselected knowledge vortexes contracted and disappeared, leaving only the corresponding nine.
At the same time, within Chen Ping's soul sea, in the visualized world of the solar system he had constructed, each star established a connection with one of the branches of knowledge.
Chen Ping integrated the nine major branches of knowledge into his visualized world, arranging them in order.
Sun: Essence Studies.
Mercury: Magic Studies.
Venus: Mysticism.
Earth: Consciousness Studies.
Mars: Evolutionary Studies.
Jupiter: Science.
Saturn: Domination Studies.
Uranus: Theology.
Neptune: Dimensional Studies.
When the knowledge matching was complete, the entire visualized world let out a thunderous roar, as if the gods had returned to their positions, becoming incredibly stable!
Essence Studies explores knowledge of the world's origin; through learning, one can establish a link with high-dimensional powers.
Magic Studies and Mysticism complement each other, representing an understanding of high-dimensional projection power.
Consciousness studies, in essence, is the analysis of self-cognition; as one learns, they can fully master themselves, making it Chen Ping's top priority.
Evolutionary studies are matched with Science; one explores the path of evolution, while the other summarizes and categorizes the existing forces of the world.
Dominion studies are knowledge almost all Lords entering the Hall of Knowledge choose, as it can strengthen a Lord's abilities.
Divinity studies explore and master the power of gods.
Dimensional Studies, the core discipline for pursuing the secrets of the highest dimensions, is also one of Chen Ping's hopes for returning to his original world.
Each of the nine branches of knowledge is an immense ocean, and one might not fully master it even with a lifetime of effort.
The more choices one makes, the less advantageous it becomes, as the demands on the master also increase.
Once one is too distracted, it will eventually lead to a situation of knowing a little about everything but excelling at nothing.
However, Chen Ping was not too worried.
What is Heaven Rewards Diligence for?
If effort brings reward, then why not study until he drops?
This is a talent even more unreasonable than so-called equivalent exchange, as it doesn't even demand how much you have to put in…
Chen Ping immediately focused on learning the core of the nine branches of knowledge.
He temporarily let go of the other minor details.
These are all things he can deduce through continuous learning and inference in the future.
Time flowed by.
Everyone who entered the Knowledge Tower was in an independent space.
The more one learned, the more time they could extend.
Four days later, Natasha was the first to leave the Knowledge Tower.
Five days later, the Glasses Man, Lu Fei, also left the Knowledge Tower.
Six days later, the Mysterious Man, who entered last, left the Tower.
Seven days.
Eight days.
After a full ten days, Chen Ping finally appeared outside the Knowledge Tower.
Standing before the gate of the Hall of Knowledge, Chen Ping felt completely different from when he first arrived.
His mastery of knowledge made him appear more mysterious than before.
His eyes seemed to hold mysterious whirlpools, and others who looked for too long would even feel drawn in.
“So much time has passed.”
Chen Ping hadn't expected to stay in the Hall of Knowledge for ten days; adding the better part of a day for the trial, that made it eleven days.
More than a week had passed for the Lord Trial outside.
However, considering the gains from this trip, the slowdown in territory development was acceptable to Chen Ping.
He was confident that upon his return, his territory would experience explosive growth.
The temporary slowdown was merely preparation for a surge in the future.
“It’s time to leave.”
Chen Ping turned around, silently wishing to leave, and immediately a whirlpool appeared before his eyes.
He glanced back at the Hall of Knowledge and noticed a formless figure had appeared inside the wide-open gate at some unknown time.
A pair of eyes calmly watched him, and upon seeing him look back, the figure vanished.
Chen Ping was puzzled but did not linger, stepping into the whirlpool.
