Sacral clone now planned to create a method to awaken these atoms, actively. He also wanted to experiment with fusing atoms of the same nature or different ones, to see if they could grow more powerful. He aimed to discover if unwanted atoms could be destroyed or expelled from the body.
He wondered if atoms could be separated to create new ones. After separation, would they become weaker? He also wanted to learn if awakened atoms could help stir the natures in others.
Could he add entirely new atoms? Would living in a fire elemental world awaken more fire natures? Could treasures or pills speed up the awakening process?
So many questions filled his mind. Until now, he had ignored these atoms, focusing solely on cultivation. But after witnessing the child's power, he felt determined to awaken his own—perhaps even multiple abilities.
He closed his eyes and began experimenting on a nearby plant with his divine senses. His body was pure energy, without atoms. He had no plans to test on his main body yet.
After closing his eyes, he murmured, "Well, this atom awakening phenomenon is just like physique awakening in xianxia novels. Like the Ice Crystal Jade Body, granting ice powers. Or the Tyrant Ruler Body, with earth element atoms that push mortal strength beyond limits."
So he decided to name this phenomenon Physique Awakening.
The child's physique name should be Dark Crimson Blaze Body.
The name would not be overpowered or dominant. Even though the child's physique held great power, it was not yet worthy of words like Heavenly God, Emperor, or Ruler. For now, it was simply unique.
But in the future, if the child's physique fully awakened—or evolved beyond—it could grow far stronger. Then it might earn those grand titles.
Lastly, the sacral clone added, "I think more people will experience physique awakening in the future....I should force the heart clone to focus more on the Fate Element. That will strengthen the Divine Sage profession; otherwise, this same oversight will happen again—I won't get news in time to stop it."
With that, he began his work. He needed to create a method not just for awakening physiques, but also one to help the child control his powers.
The other two clones said nothing. They knew this task was more urgent. The fortress could be built later.

While the construction continued in the vast emptiness of space, a single video published on the E.A. Network—uploaded by the network itself—shook the entire world on Earth.
The footage showed a seven-year-old boy named Advait living an ordinary, joyful life. He played happily with his friends, ate meals with his family, and went to school every day like any normal child.
But one day, everything changed. In the school garden, a chubby boy the same age as Advait was bullying a female student. Advait stepped forward to stop it. He told the chubby boy calmly, "If you don't stop, I'm going to tell the teacher."
Advait did not want to fight. He simply could not stand by and watch the girl get hurt. The three of them were alone in the garden—no adults, no teachers, no one else around.
He could not wait for help to arrive. His mother had always taught him to help those in need, not to hurt them more. He had to act.
The chubby boy showed no fear of teachers. He sneered back, "I'm not stopping. Her father works for my father, so she works for me too. My father told me I can do anything I want with her, and even her own father agreed. She had attended this school just so she could serve me and fulfill my needs. So why should I stop? Go tell the teachers if you want—I'm not afraid. My father is a teacher here too."
Advait did not believe the girl being a worker for the boy at first. He looked at the girl, hoping she would speak up. But she stayed silent, head down, saying nothing. In that moment, he guessed it was probably true.
But Advait still spoke up firmly. "Even though she's your worker, you can't just bully her. And as for your father being a teacher, I know him. He's our physical education teacher, and I don't think he'll side with you when he sees your behavior. He'll probably beat you instead."
Hearing those words, the chubby boy grew furious. He shouted, "My father will never beat me! He loves me more than anything. And I'll bully her however I want. You can't stop me!"
With that, the chubby boy kept tormenting the girl. He roughly grabbed her hair and hurled more insults at her, laughing cruelly the whole time.
Advait moved forward quickly. He gave the chubby boy a light push to break his grip, then helped the girl stand up. Her clothes were filthy now, her hair a tangled mess.
The girl rose slowly, tears still shining in her eyes.
But as soon as she stood, she saw Advait infront, facing her. Behind him, the chubby boy raised his fist, aiming a punch straight at Advait's back head.
Panic surged through her. She did not know what else to do. She just shoved Advait hard, pushing him out of the punch's path.
The chubby boy saw he had missed. He did not stop. Instead, he shifted his aim without hesitation.
