Chapter 328: Chapter 219: The Powerful Attributes Brought by Specialized Organs!_1
The attributes corresponding to the Sundial Turtle Primordial Blood are numerous.
Among them, the highest portion and most important is undoubtedly the [Time] attribute.
To be honest, time, as a noble and special attribute, is quite suitable for enhancing any organ and can extend into various wonderful effects.
After deliberating, Jiang Chen made a decision.
[Brain]
The brain is the leader of the human body, bearing consciousness and soul.
It is the absolute core of the body’s organs.
Even for Jiang Chen, this is absolutely vital.
In battle, it’s okay for him to be struck in the heart by an enemy; it can be repaired with Life Force, healing quickly.
But if his head were to be blown up…
Then, even if he had an abundance of remaining Life Force, it would be like a basin with a large hole, draining rapidly.
Of course, that was in the past.
Thanks to the Flesh Regeneration module given by the Flesh Host.
Now, as long as Jiang Chen’s body damage rate does not exceed 70%, he can automatically consume Life Force to rapidly remodel—
including the head!
This means his perfect human body no longer has so-called “vital points” and can fight recklessly.
Jiang Chen doesn’t need to consider physical defense for his head; he only needs to think about functionality.
And since the brain is the dwelling place of the soul and the spiritual core, after being strengthened by the power of time, it naturally also bolsters the soul.
It can enhance the soul’s temporal resistance.
It can also make the soul’s perception of time more intricate and detailed.
The appearance of the brain after enhancement, however, didn’t change as much as the heart and stomach.
[Sundial Brain (Non-stackable)]
[Type: Specialized Organ]
[Effect One: Absolute Time Perception.]
[Effect Two: Can adjust own relative time. (Can speed up or slow down, maximum ratio is two)]
[Description: Only by perceiving time, understanding time, can one control time.]
The Sundial Brain’s effects seem quite straightforward.
The enhancements offered are far less powerful than those of the Star-burning Heart and the Stars Devouring Stomach, and they don’t even include growth potential.
But…
It was only after the organ specialization was complete and Jiang Chen truly gained the Sundial Brain that
he could understand that, fearfully, it might be the strongest of all specialized organs.
Even the subsequent seven organs would absolutely not surpass it!
Because the power to [perceive absolute time] that it offers is perhaps a fearsome power that not even Galaxy Level beings can master—
To explain this ability, we must first establish one thing.
[Relative Time] and [Absolute Time].
Relative time is easy to understand.
Time is relative; everyone’s perception of the rate of time is slightly different.
Moreover, the vast majority of mecha pilots possess time-based mecha and abilities.
Like nuclear deterrence, I may choose not to use it, but I cannot be without it.
In this case, everyone’s relative time is different; one can easily halt time, speed up time, or even reverse time…
Creating a variety of wonderful effects and abilities.
But, here’s the problem.
What if abilities clash?
Or, if several mecha pilots with the ability to stop time use their time-stopping abilities in turn.
Would it be possible to bring an area, or even the entire universe, the abyss, into a perpetual time stop?
Here we touch upon a concept.
[Absolute Time]
This is somewhat similar to the “Absolute Cooldown” Bai Ying taught Jiang Chen about when he was learning time abilities.
In the relative time-chaotic universe, within the abyss, there exists an abstract concept named [Absolute Time].
If it were to be materialized, “Absolute Time” would be like a clock.
It represents the time of the entire universe, even the entire abyss.
Unaffected by any ability, it keeps moving its hands, ticking over to the next second.
It has no discrepancy across all universes.
It does not change, will not speed up, slow down, or reverse.
Instead, it records those time-ability users and the abilities they utilize.
For instance—
A five-second time stop.
When even time itself has stopped, where does the “five seconds” come from?
Hence, the “five seconds” applied here are [Absolute Time].
“Whether it’s Bai Ying’s use of the [Time Stop] module, or my deployment of [Time Acceleration]…”
“In fact, it has no effect on absolute time.”
“It’s merely a change imposed on a particular area or a particular life.”
“This is also why enhancing [Temporal Resistance] can defend against temporal abilities.”
“To enhance Temporal Resistance is essentially to improve the synchronization and fit with absolute time, allowing oneself to be subject only to the influence of absolute time.”
“Naturally, one can then disregard other temporal abilities.”
After obtaining the [Sundial Brain], Jiang Chen acquired the ability to perceive absolute time.
He could almost hear the sound of an ethereal clock ticking.
Each tick was at exactly the same interval, unaffected by anything, enduring through untold ages.
This doesn’t grant Jiang Chen any new abilities.
But it profoundly improves his grasp over his time abilities, significantly enhancing his potential—
Just as described by the organ.
If one cannot understand, cannot perceive the true [Time].
How can one talk about taking a step further, controlling time?
Of course.
The Sundial Brain’s effects were not limited to that one.
Its second effect is:
“Adjusting one’s own relative time, speeding up or slowing down, up to twice the rate.”
At first glance, this seems no different from Jiang Chen’s Time Acceleration ability, not very significant.
