Short, Light, Free - Chapter 36: In What World?

What happens when a dantian becomes a nuclear reactor?When meridians behave like fiber-optic cables?When brains are restructured as supercomputers?When eyes are reconstructed as LIDAR?When neurons are structured as integrated circuits designs?When a cultivation manual is rewritten like a physics textbook?Simple.You get Elias Vance.A world-renowned physicist, inventor of interstellar communication, and proud owner of six Nobel Prizes (which he never bothered to unpack), Elias Vance had one problem: his brain was dying. His solution? Turn himself into data and transmit his consciousness into the great unknown.He expected the quantum realm. He got… a cultivation sect.Now stuck in a world where people punch mountains and drink spiritual chicken soup to get stronger, Elias does what he does best: overanalyze everything and break the system entirely.Armed with divine sense sharper than a microscope and an ego that runs on cold logic and dry sarcasm, he’s not just here to cultivate. He’s here to **optimize**.Forget pills and slow breathing. He’s got cellular Qi reactors, runic programming, soul-lattice engineering, and a vendetta against spiritual inefficiency.This is not your typical path to immortality.This is **The Quantum Path**.
