Dancing on the golden ashes

Chapter 211 Exploring the World with My Senses

The air around me trembled ever so slightly, a soft vibration that made the hairs on my skin stand on end. I could feel myself slipping into a state unlike anything I had ever experienced. It was as though I could feel the very aura of the world itself—a sensation I couldn't fully explain. This mysterious state was like a delicate caress of the world, a gentle yet overpowering touch against my skin. It was soothing, yet it carried a weight, as if the world itself was pressing in on me, demanding that I yield to its presence. Perhaps I wasn't yet strong enough, but that didn't stop me from giving it a try.

But even as I marveled at the enormity of it, I realized the limitations of my reach. This world was much larger than I had imagined. I had already traveled, by my best guess, over fifty thousand kilometers from the place where I first arrived, and it struck me just how hard it would be to find the demigod-level beasts I sought.

This world... it wasn't just large—it was massive. The laws that governed it were different from those of my original planet, Earth. If I had to guess, this world was the size of Saturn, if not even larger. The vastness of it overwhelmed me, as did the realization that, with each passing moment, I was only scratching the surface.

I found plenty of demon beasts, and even encountered a few humans in the area, but nothing that came close to the power of a demigod. So, I decided to expand my
