Chapter 467: Chapter 261 “Perception Evolution” and “Transformation Begins” (Please Subscribe)_1
At this moment, Milton Cheney could clearly perceive that his surroundings had become different.
Not only that, his perception of his own body had also changed.
He knew very well what this meant.
It meant that it was not the environment around him that had changed, but his perceptual ability.
If it were the environment around him that had changed, then Milton’s perception of his own body would not have altered in any way.
After all, the environment can change all it wants, but if his body has not changed, his perception shouldn’t either.
Therefore, Milton realized right away that it was his perceptual ability that had undergone a change.
Milton accepted this quickly because he had already anticipated it.
In his previous conjectures, the perceptual ability of a demon was like the vision of a human.
Just as a human’s vision grows with their body, maybe a demon’s perceptual ability would do the same.
That was Milton’s earlier speculation.
Now, his perception of his surroundings and his own body precisely validated his conjecture.
“The world I can see seems to have become a lot clearer,”
Milton mused to himself as he sensed his environment.
If the world he perceived before was shrouded in fog and exceedingly vague,
then the world he perceived now was undoubtedly much clearer.
This clarity was something Milton could feel directly.
Of course, this did not mean that all the fog before Milton’s eyes was lifted at once.
Although everything around him seemed clearer now, it was not completely clear.
He still had a sense of blurriness.
This was like a person with 500-degree myopia suddenly putting on a pair of 100-degree glasses.
The moment the glasses are put on, there is definitely a different feeling.
But after settling down with that feeling, one would find that the world is still somewhat blurry and not entirely clear.
This feeling is exactly what Milton was experiencing.
At this moment, he could clearly perceive that his environment had indeed changed, but the extent of this change wasn’t particularly large.
“It seems I can now perceive some details within the Demon Mother River, but I still can’t sense the presence of other demons,”
Milton murmured to himself as he wandered through the Demon Mother River.
The details in the Demon Mother River that Milton could now perceive had actually always been there.
It was simply because Milton’s previous perceptual ability was too weak that he could not detect these details.
Now that his perceptual capability had evolved, Milton could perceive them clearly.
But at the same time, a trace of doubt arose in Milton’s heart.
Previously, he had always believed that other demons existed within the Demon Mother River all around him.
It was just that his perceptual ability was too weak to sense them.
But now that his perceptual ability had strengthened, he still couldn’t detect the presence of other demons.
This made Milton somewhat doubtful.
Was his earlier guess wrong, and the Demon Mother River truly lacked other demons?
But that possibility seemed far too small.
With this thought, Milton shook his head.
Such a scenario was almost impossible; the Demon Mother River was the birthplace of demons, and it couldn’t possibly exist just for Milton.
That would truly be a wildly fanciful tale.
If within the entire Demon Tribe there existed only Milton, even he himself wouldn’t believe it.
Perhaps it was still because his perceptual ability was still weak.
If his perceptual ability continued to grow stronger, then one day Milton would undoubtedly verify the answer in his heart.
Milton continued to sense the environment around him, trying to discover some other changes.
But unfortunately, the changes he could perceive had already been fully realized in the moment his perceptual ability evolved.
Now, as Milton continued to sense, there were no more changes left to discover.
After sensing the environment around him one more time, Milton decided not to continue his perception.
Instead, he began to sense the changes in his body.
Just now, Milton had indeed perceived the changes in both the environment and his body in that instant.
That was how he could confirm that his conjecture was correct.
Now, after closely sensing the changes in his body again, Milton was completely certain of his conjecture.
There were no surprises.
His body had not changed at all; it was just that Milton’s perception of his body had become different.
Put simply, Milton’s body was still the same as before.
It was just that Milton’s self-awareness had become stronger.
This was like a person who had always used a bronze mirror, but was suddenly given a glass mirror.
His understanding of himself would definitely become clearer.
After all, the reflection one sees in a glass mirror is bound to be clearer than that from a bronze mirror.
And now, Milton’s perception of his own demon body was just like that feeling.
Even though his body hadn’t changed, Milton still noticed some anomalies.
That was the realization that his body was slowly completing a transformation.
This was a very peculiar sensation, and if it weren’t for Milton focusing all his effort on perceiving, he wouldn’t even be aware of this change.
