20: Chapter 20 Them, Speculation!
Actually, ever since the first time he used [Tree Realm of Life], Chen Mo had a feeling.
His comprehension seemed to be very high, and now it was finally confirmed.
Comprehension is one of those elusive yet truly existing attributes.
It isn't displayed on the panel because players don't need comprehension at all.
Whether it's breaking through or comprehending laws, the system does it for them, but having transmigrated to this world, he cannot do without this hidden attribute.
"Expand panel."
Chen Mo looked to his side, and the character panel he had previously folded away instantly expanded.
Name: Chen Mo
Level: 101 {Demigod · First Turn}
Divine Domain Level: Tier 2
Kin: {Mutated Species} × 47, Blood Beast {Parasitic Species} × 3453
Divinity: 1, Strength: 160, Speed: 160, Spirit: 195
Divine Power: 142 {Daily Faith Income 350,000 = 35 Divine Power}
Divine Persona: [Source of Plague · Damaged]
Laws: Death {1.39%}, Life {1.34%}, Calamity {1.19%}, Blood {5.17%}
Divine Arts: Blood Kill {Tier 2}, Endless Life {Tier 1} {Unmastered omitted, Tier 0 omitted}
Special Fate: Chaos Blessing {Curse} {1/4}
Warning: A blessing is also a curse. Those lacking sufficient status and willpower will eventually become minions of Chaos. Even across time and space, They are still watching you.
"5.17%!"
Chen Mo stared fixedly at that extra law comprehension on the panel, and for a moment, he was a bit dazed.
The last time he used Tree Realm of Life, his Life law comprehension increased by 0.09, which wasn't a large amount.
But this time, not only did he comprehend the divine art, he also comprehended the corresponding Law of Blood, and the comprehension level was as high as 5.17%.
What kind of concept is this? A Tier 1 divine art can be cast as long as one has the law, while the threshold for a Tier 2 divine art is 5%.
In other words, Chen Mo had reached the requirement to cast the Tier 2 divine art [Blood Kill] in one go.
"Something's not right!"
Chen Mo furrowed his brows tightly. As the saying goes, when things are abnormal, there must be a demon. He hadn't not used divine art cards in his previous Life; this matter was clearly not that simple.
Unknowingly, Chen Mo suddenly cast his gaze toward the last line of the panel.
"Even across time and space, They are still watching you, They..."
In an instant, a chill took over his entire body.
"No, even a Supreme Being cannot affect me in this time and space. Could it be that the Chaos Pantheon has already made contact with the Main World, and Their power has affected me because of that?"
Chen Mo fell into deep thought, but after thinking it over and over, he couldn't come up with an answer.
Actually, in his previous Life, although the Main World was the players' starting faction, well, players are players—everyone knows how it is; they go wherever the benefits are greater.
And the benefits the Chaos Pantheon gave players weren't just material, but also on the panel.
Many players discovered that as long as they joined the Chaos faction and accepted the 'blessing', their leveling speed would increase significantly.
Of course, it also doesn't exclude the possibility that his own comprehension was already very good, and combined with the bonus from the Chaos Blessing, it created this near-heaven-defying comprehension.
"I need to speed up. If nothing else, I at least need to latch onto a few big shots at the same level. Otherwise, when those Chaos figures appear, do I 'submit' or do I 'submit'?"
Actually, Chen Mo had always felt that his 'Death' was very unjust.
In his previous Life, he didn't say no!
Compared to the other Chaos Supreme Beings, Father Nurgle actually had a pretty good 'reputation' among the player community.
"Let's test it one more time."
Chen Mo put away the panel, and another card appeared in his hand—it was the [Earth Control] divine art card.
The next second, the divine art card shattered, and the comprehension illusion appeared along with it.
This time it was some extra-territorial civilization plane, where dense swarms of native superhumans were doing their utmost to attack a giant stone fortress comparable to a divine miracle.
"So noisy!" A voice came from the heights of the fortress, also from some figure whose specific appearance could not be seen clearly.
"The main force hasn't arrived yet, and I didn't want to lower myself to your level—after all, superhuman-level natives can also be sold for money—but you are pushing your luck too far."
Before the voice even faded, the earth instantly tore open, and countless rocks gathered toward this place. In the blink of an eye, this earth-and-stone fortress had grown several times larger.
"It shouldn't matter if some of you die."
After speaking, the figure pointed remotely at the area below, and the fortress constructed from divine arts beneath his feet seemed to come alive, crushing toward these alien races that were 'crusading' against him.
One side was a demigod or even a true god who had mastered divine arts.
And on the other side, there were pitifully few high-level superhumans.
A slaughter, undoubtedly a slaughter.
And at this instant, Chen Mo broke free from the shackles of the illusion and returned to reality.
divine art cards are basically all made by deities whose time is running out. It's very normal for some memories from their lifetime to remain within them, which also makes it more convenient for the user to comprehend.
Compared to the Fourth-Tier Divine Art [Tree Realm of Life], these Tier 1 and Tier 2 divine art cards were clearly more suitable for him right now; what he saw and what he comprehended was much more.
"Ding, epiphany ended. Completion rate: 93.15%."
"You have obtained the divine art [Earth Control], you have obtained a law: Law of Earth, comprehension level: 2.52%."
"As expected!"
Chen Mo couldn't help but nod secretly. This time the completion rate and comprehension level were not as good as the divine art [Blood Kill], but it was still a very exaggerated value.
As for why Tier 1 would be lower than Tier 2, there are actually two reasons.
One is the quality of the divine art card itself; the more effort the creator puts in, the more law comprehension remains within it, and the effect naturally becomes better.
The second is adaptability, which is law affinity.
Chen Mo could clearly feel that his affinity for the Law of Blood was clearly above that of the Law of Earth.
"Master, why are you frowning one moment and smiling the next?"
Yu Mo, who had been silently 'guarding' Chen Mo, suddenly spoke up.
"It's nothing. I thought about it carefully; some things can't be avoided, and for now, the benefits definitely outweigh the drawbacks. If I don't smile, should I cry instead?"
Chen Mo poked Yu Mo's little face with his finger, although he couldn't poke anything.
Whether it was Yu Mo or other intelligences that relied on the Virtual Universe to survive, they were just a stream of data.
Unless he was willing to pay a huge price to transform Yu Mo into an intelligent Life form, she would never be able to possess a physical body.
"Don't poke me."
Yu Mo looked at her master with dissatisfaction, then flew to Chen Mo's shoulder as if nothing had happened.
"By the way, Master, you have an email from the Virtual Universe."
"What email? Who sent it?"
"I don't know either, there's no signature." Yu Mo was also full of confusion.
Generally speaking, whether it's a system email from the Virtual Universe or an email from other users of the Virtual Universe, there would be a signature.
But this email not only had no signature, even the content was strange.
"Let me see."
"Alright, Master."
Yu Mo nodded her little head, and a line of information immediately appeared before Chen Mo's eyes.
"Chen Mo, I'm very happy to have met you. I hope you can continue to fight in the Myriad Domain Arena; this is very important for you."
"This is...?"
Chen Mo was puzzled at first, then, as if he had thought of something, he stood up abruptly.
"Yu Mo, enter the Virtual Universe!"
"Yes, Master.!"
