My God-Level System Can Rebuild Civilization in the Apocalypse!
Chapter 204: Mind and BodyAfter all, a new "limb" always required time before it could be fully adapted to.
Even so, this unexpected situation had given Joo Joowon a new source of inspiration.
He finally had a rough idea of how to turn Mental Power into an instinct.
It should function just like physical strength.
When a person lifted something, they naturally exerted force without consciously thinking about it.
Mental Power should work the same way.
It should not be like it was now, where he first had to consciously think about using it before it would respond.
That extra step made it feel more like operating an external tool rather than using a natural part of his own body.
Previously, Joo Joowon had always treated his Mental Power as something completely separate from his body.
He had never possessed Mental Power before, so instinctively he pushed it away and regarded it as something new.
However, in reality, every person was born with Mental Power.
It was not something that only appeared after the Age of Apocalypse descended.
Treating it like an "external brain" or a "mechanical arm" was completely backwards.
It had always been a part of the body, closely connected to concentration, willpower and many other aspects.
Just like Physique and Strength, it had always been one part of the body itself.
The moment that concept became clear, Joo Joowon suddenly felt enlightened.
In that instant, his Mental Power seemed to become much more coordinated with his body.
Joo Joowon was certain this was not an illusion.
It was a kind of synchronization.
At that moment, Strength, Agility and Physique all became closely connected with his Mental Power.
Joo Joowon could not help feeling delighted.
A person was a complete whole.
When someone was hungry, not only did their physical strength decline, but their willpower, concentration and many other aspects also weakened together.
This principle was reflected most clearly in traditional medicine.
Doctors never simply treated a headache by focusing only on the head or treated foot pain by focusing only on the foot.
Very often, they prescribed medicine aimed at an entirely different part of the body, yet after finishing the prescription, the original illness was genuinely cured.
No part of the body existed independently.
A change in one part affected the entire body.
Before the apocalypse descended, the overwhelming majority of people could not consciously use their Mental Power the way they used physical strength.
Instead, their other attributes naturally guided it.
When people ate well and slept well, they felt mentally refreshed.
When their mental state was good, everything they did became much more efficient. Yet at certain critical moments, it was actually Mental Power that controlled the body.
For example, during physical endurance tests where someone continued running toward the finish line even after all their strength had been exhausted, relying on nothing but sheer determination.
At times like those, the body was being driven by Mental Power.
Because willpower itself was essentially one way of using Mental Power.
After the apocalypse, leveling up caused attributes to increase far too quickly.
Compared to the past, the four primary attributes became seriously unbalanced.
Under those circumstances, the body itself had always been out of harmony.
The highest attribute needed to coordinate all the others, creating an entirely new cycle and a completely new system rather than allowing the body to simply function naturally as it had before.
Joo Joowon simply had never realized that before.
The world had changed.
People’s understanding of the world and their state of mind naturally had to change along with it.
Likewise, the body also had to adapt to the speed at which the world itself was changing.
After all, the current world no longer operated under the same system as the one that had existed before.
Now Joo Joowon had finally awakened to that fact.
He experienced a sensation as though his body and his Mental Power had completely merged into one.
He no longer needed to deliberately search for ways to use his other attributes.
His Mental Power would naturally guide his other attributes to keep pace with it.
It was just like when a person believed they could no longer run, yet as long as their willpower held firm, their body somehow managed to keep going until they crossed the finish line.
It felt as though they had broken through their limits, reaching the finish without even understanding how they had done it.
Rather than calling it a true limit, it was more accurate to say that under the urging of their willpower, their Mental Power had been activated, instinctively synchronizing with their other attributes and pushing every one of them to its maximum potential.
The human body never truly operated at one hundred percent.
Those who specialized in other attributes could actually achieve the same result.
For example, players whose main attribute was Strength could use their Strength to drive their other attributes, creating an overwhelming aura similar to the pressure emitted by the Big Belly Zombie.
With Strength as the core, Mental Power became attached to it.
Every movement naturally carried an oppressive presence.
That was how the Strength attribute coordinated the others.
Agility, on the other hand, followed an entirely different method of coordination.
However, regardless of which attribute took the lead, one fact remained the same.
The four primary attributes were an inseparable whole and none of them could exist independently.
...
[ Ding! ]
[ You have comprehended the unity of the four primary attributes and gained new insight! ]
[ Your Talents [Body Faster Than Thought] and [Perfect Impact], have merged together! ]
[ Ding! ]
[ New Talent have been acquired: [Perfect Sync] ]
...
Joo Joowon glanced at his status panel.
[ Perfect Sync: Under the coordination of your Mental Power, your four primary attributes will act in perfect harmony, moving together with complete synchronization.]
Receiving such good news first thing in the morning immediately put Joo Joowon in an excellent mood, and a smile spread across his face.
He was not particularly surprised that his Talents had merged together.
