Chapter 658. What Does It Mean To Be A Realm?
After beefing with the System a little more to relax, Liu Shu decided to stop bullying the poor thing and focus on her changes. ’The said that I’ve become a , but what does that mean exactly?’
Liu Shu pondered, spreading her senses around herself. Once she did, she noticed a subtle difference compared to before. "I exist... but I don’t at the same time."
It was such a weird thing to say that Liu Shu paused after completing the sentence. Still, after thinking for a while more, there was no simpler way of explaining her current change compared to before.
She observed herself a bit more and then decided to try and spread her roots. Once she did, her face gained a subtle expression of confusion and, paradoxically, understanding. As her roots moved through space, she could see they were now drilling right under the main spatial layer.
Previously, Liu Shu used her spatial prowess to expand the sub-dimension, and her roots followed. Mixing those powers with the help of her subconscious allowed her to maintain her terrifying, constant spreading speed, even when her main body was not much larger than before.

"I believe that she should have finished whatever she was trying to do. The flow of essence in her roots is much tamer compared to before. It is even calmer than before she began trying to open her , as she explained."
Elyne asked, curious. "Lady Tree, your affinity with space is profound. Can you tell what has happened? The other day I tried it, and I can fly through Liu Shu’s body. It’s as if she has stopped existing."
Tree pondered, her mind finding it difficult to put into words what she felt. "Liu Shu is now... deeply connected... to her dimension." Tree spoke slowly, trying to find the correct words. "No. More than connected... She has merged with it."
The Life Tree’s words made them ponder. Tree continued. "If I am correct, Liu Shu should’ve managed to put the title to use."
