Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 255 - 223: Brain Domain_2

As Wang Ye descended deeper and deeper, the length of the rope attached to him grew shorter and shorter.

The sound, like a flood surging, grew louder and louder, as if it were right by his ear. It was as though there was a dragon in the abyss below, churning the seas. Accompanied by the faint tremors of the cliffs and the bean-sized raindrops hitting his face, it conveyed a tremendous sense of pressure.

Even Wang Ye, at this moment, felt a tinge of fear.

Goosebumps and the hair on his arms stood up.

This was a fear of nature.

Although Wang Ye’s physical fitness was already very strong,

the force of nature could still easily put him to death.

"The rain is getting heavier; I need to finish quickly." Wang Ye glanced at the sky and frowned.

He continued to lower his head, gazing at the abyss beneath his feet.

He was not far from the bottom of the Swallow Cave now.

The surrounding space gradually became more expansive.

The angle at which Wang Ye climbed changed from initially perpendicular to the ground to an inverted angle.

Because Swallow Cave was narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, much like an irregular triangle, it was normal for the climbing angle to become slanted as he progressed.

But what stopped Wang Ye in his tracks was not the slant but the stench emanating from the bottom of the abyss.

The wet smell of rain and mud mixed with the odor of accumulated feces in the cave made Wang Ye feel nauseated.

His sense of smell was exceptionally acute, making him particularly sensitive to such aromas. Any slightly strong odor would trigger a strong urge to vomit.

"When I started climbing, I didn’t notice, but how is it so stinky down here..."

Wang Ye couldn’t help but grimace.

Just as he was about to endure the stench and continue to climb down.

Suddenly, he found that his olfactory senses seemed to be blocked by the brain. The intense odor that was making his head spin vanished instantly.

"Did I just... shut down my olfactory senses?" Wang Ye’s eyes revealed shock. Although it was a momentary thing, he could feel that his consciousness had actively directed his central nervous system to turn off his sense of smell.

Some human body parts can be controlled autonomously, but most organs cannot be, since the body’s organs, primarily internal organs, aren’t controlled by the central nervous system like limbs, which are directed by the brain for conscious movement.

Internal organs are mainly governed by the autonomic nervous system, leading to autonomous rhythmic movements.

The human autonomic nervous system, also known as the visceral nerve fiber’s efferent nerve, manages vital physiological functions: such as heartbeats, respiration, digestion, blood pressure, metabolism, etc. It mostly regulates bodily functions unconsciously, like heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupil response, urination, and sexual arousal. It primarily controls "stress" and "emergency" reactions.

However, organs like eyes, ears, nose, mouth, tongue, and throat are still under the control of the central nervous system, albeit to a lesser degree, only able to perform superficial movements like blinking and opening and closing, unable to entirely block or activate them, similar to how people can’t fully control their heartbeats but can accelerate them through intensive exercise.

Yet Wang Ye somehow manipulated his central nervous system just now to shut off his sense of smell.

This means he seemed able to preliminarily control the deep movements of organs.

It is said that people with exceptionally developed brain domains can control organ movements at deeper levels. For instance, deftly controlling the tongue to tie knots or manipulating muscle fibers to twitch in various parts.

"Is this also the work of the Divine Attribute?" Wang Ye called out the panel to check his attributes.

Over four months of evolution, his Divine Body attributes both exceeded 10.

This indicates that his brain’s evolution level was already more than ten times that of an ordinary person.

This attribute did not directly improve his intelligence but enhanced his memory and thinking speed, which indirectly increased his intelligence.

However, Wang Ye always thought this attribute was quite redundant. Because his current method of learning skills mainly relied on the system’s skill level. Memory capacity did not mean much to him. Except for some instances where remembering others’ Qi was somewhat useful. Most of the time, this ability just added unnecessary expenditure.

Now discovering that this attribute enabled him to control organ movements was undoubtedly good news for him.

"Since I can perfectly control my sense of smell, controlling other organs shouldn’t be too difficult," Wang Ye’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

It is said that those who develop their brains to the extreme can freely control metabolism speeds, regulate the secretion of various hormones, and can freely enhance their strength to more than a hundred times the usual level. Even when limbs are severed, they can autonomously stop bleeding by relying on their brains, simulating lizards and salamanders in regenerating lost limbs.

Additionally, there are many strange abilities that organs can achieve, which won’t be listed one by one. Therefore, there are rumors on the internet that if a person can freely control all body organs, that person will become a true Divine Being.

But at the same time, the brain’s burden will also become heavy, because most of the time human organ activity is entrusted to the autonomic nervous system. Even breathing, blinking, and tongue placement are automatically managed by the subconscious, though occasionally temporarily transferred to the conscious mind for handling.

So, when you become aware of your breathing, it shifts to manual control. You need to consciously manage your breathing volume and frequency.

But because most people’s conscious processing capability is weak, no matter how you adjust, you can’t reach the optimized state automatically managed by the subconscious.

So, if someone can perfectly manage regular organ movements with their conscious mind, that person would also need to have an extraordinarily high IQ, and with these preconditions, becoming a "Divine Being" would not be a difficult thing.

Although these rumors are not scientifically verified and sound quite absurd.

But Wang Ye thought there was some reference value in this rumor.

After all, others couldn’t prove the rumor through experiments, but he was truly evolving.

Putting aside his thoughts, Wang Ye resumed climbing down.

Without the interference of his sense of smell, his descent speed noticeably increased.

In total, it took him half an hour to pin all the anchor points he brought along.

Carlos above had been stunned. His Red Bull Team had arrived five days earlier than Wang Ye, and despite having more people, they still hadn’t kept up with Wang Ye’s work progress.

After completing the basic preparations, Wang Ye then began preparing to climb back up,

For many adventurers, cave exploration offers the thrill of descent, but the climb back up can feel like a crematorium.

Because descending only requires relying on the buffer function of the descender and slowly descending with the help of a rope, it consumes very little stamina. But rock climbing back to the surface requires relying on one’s own strength.

However, since Wang Ye hardly relied on the rope’s traction during his descent, climbing and descending were no different for him.

Wang Ye stood at the bottom of the cave where the water flowed rapidly, scanning the surrounding environment. Although where he stood was a relatively shallow area, the water was already over his knees. Rainwater soaked into his rain boots, making his feet feel chilly. Looking up, he could see streams falling like threads, forming a waterfall that pummeled the rain below.

He could even foresee that the day of his challenge, he would undoubtedly end up in the pool, like a dive. His parachute would certainly be drenched by the waterfall, causing his descent speed to increase.

During the process, he might also encounter swarms of tens of thousands of birds and bats pecking at his parachute, even tearing it, causing his descent route to deviate.

Wang Ye couldn’t help but click his tongue: "Sure enough...the rainy season is not a good time for challenges. But since I’m here, there’s no choice but to tough it out."

It’s the end of the month, a little bit of a monthly vote.
