Chapter 239 Activation of the improvement method, chaos in Bean village
?After that, his mind entered a strange state, and words flowed from his mouth whose origins he didn't know.
«Path of Endless Elements, 'Neath the heavens, 'neath my sight it lies».
His eyebrows crossed on the bridge of his nose as Adam's body glowed with a bright golden light. The light seemed like a contour, emphasizing his appearance and adorning him. Instantly, a martial atmosphere filled the room.
It was just two words, but they had a powerful effect. The weather in the village suddenly underwent a drastic change; clouds drifted over the "Crystal" boutique, followed by a thunderous roar.
Boom, boom!
Some residents woke up to the loud sound and looked puzzledly at the clouds, then froze in shock. The dense cluster of clouds was so terrifying that it seemed as though demons or something worse would descend from it at any moment!
"Under my pressure, the earth quivers."
A thunderous roar echoed. A sudden earthquake caused panic among the villagers, but under the supervision of guards, they managed to reach a safe place. Meanwhile, Adam remained oblivious to his surroundings, condensing magical energy, and transforming it from liquid to solid. In his magical source, he preserved them as if they were Tetris blocks.
Surprisingly, the magical energy that had already solidified was now twice as powerful as usual!
Crunch. Crunch.
The pressure was too strong, and Adam's bones barely coped. His body rumbled, constantly under the pressure of his refinement technique, which was not as simple as it seemed. The heavens were still unsettled, but the earthquake had subsided. The villagers of Bean were frightened and puzzled, encountering such a phenomenon for the first time.
In the Higher Realm, an earthquake could only occur if two or more powerful beings were fighting, but in most cases, earthquakes could be absent for centuries.
"Mom... I'm scared," the boy said with a whiny, squeaky voice, holding his mother's hand.
"Don't be afraid, little one. We're under the protection of the Moon Goddess," his mother reassured him, though she was not very confident in her words.
In the "Crystal" boutique, Adam, in an unconscious state, muttered the following words.
"All that exists under my control abides."
BOOM!
A quiet rumble sounded as the clouds instantly dispersed, while people within a ten-kilometer radius felt intense pressure, causing many to fall to their knees and tremble with fear emanating from their inner worlds. It seemed like an attack on their souls!
"What is this..." John muttered in shock, one of the guards. He frowned and looked around.
Just a minute ago, these people were standing calmly in place, and now they knelt and trembled in fear as if they had encountered a monster. Most importantly, even John, who had already embarked on the path of evolution, felt fear. This feeling was shared by his colleagues.
"Is the end of the world approaching?" John muttered.

Adam's inner world underwent a significant transformation. When we talk about the "inner world," we refer to the spiritual space known as the spiritual consciousness. It's a place where all memories, and most importantly, the soul of a being, are enclosed. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
All his memories, which looked like ordinary plaques, began to gather in one place and were protected under a thick dome. At the same time, his soul radiated with all the colors of the rainbow.
"Aaargh!"
A scream echoed, and Adam's semi-transparent body appeared. It was his spiritual body.
"Towards the Great Creation, with inner grandeur."
Adam opened his eyes, radiating all the colors of the rainbow, while his face was synonymous with apathy. Like a being descended from the heavens, he possessed a powerful aura and boundless grandeur.
Zzz! Under the unusual sound of current, day and night began to alternate every second, causing chaos in the entire Higher Realm.
"Path of the Endless Elements... cough-cough..."
When he uttered "Path of the Endless Elements," his body trembled, and in the next second, he coughed up blood. The glow on his body disappeared, while outside the window, it was still night.
Ding!

Before he could read all these notifications, Adam lost consciousness and fell asleep. At first glance, his body did not seem to have changed, but in reality, he had become even stronger.

The next morning, Adam started his workday as usual. Thanks to undergoing evolution and becoming stronger, his aura changed, immediately noticed by his colleagues.
"Adam, you seem different today. It feels like you've become more... um, confident?" Aliya suddenly asked, tilting her head.
"Yeah? I don't feel any changes," Adam replied, raising an eyebrow.
The man placed the items the customer had chosen on the counter and helped Aliya pack them into the store's branded bags. Taking the bags in his hand, Adam handed them to the customer and smiled with a businesslike smile.
"Thank you for your purchase. Our boutique 'Crystal' will be open for you anytime. I wish you to be as beautiful and magnificent as always, madam."
"Uh, well, thank you, Sir Adam!"
The customer blushed and politely smiled, practically running out of the store. Adam tilted his head to the side and wondered if the effect of evolution was so powerful.
The thing was, every perfectionist who went through evolution had a special aura and became more beautiful, and considering Adam's natural beauty, it was a double effect.
"The boss made the right choice hiring you. Now we have twice as many customers!" Alice said with laughter, approaching them.
