785: Creation and true power

"Commander, a 'host' who obtained a System has reported it."

Yang Dian, who was mass-producing Systems, raised an eyebrow.

He was not surprised that someone had reported the System.

After all, some Legacy paths required significant manpower and resources; reporting it to the organization to leverage its support was the optimal choice.

Furthermore, the current social atmosphere in Huaxia was clear and upright; instances of abusing power for personal gain or using influence to suppress others were almost non-existent. Naturally, there would be no shortage of people choosing to report the System to the organization in pursuit of the best outcome.

Moreover, the first batch of Systems sent out was not small—a full ten thousand.

With such a large base, it was not strange that some wanted to leverage support, or that others found the suddenly appearing System unreliable and reported it directly.

Therefore, what made Yang Dian curious was how many people had reported the System.

He couldn't be bothered to guess, so he asked Zero directly:

"How many people have reported the System?"

"37.63%."

Zero's answer was somewhat unexpected for Yang Dian:

"How could so many people report it?"

What was the concept of a 37.63% reporting rate?

Out of the ten thousand people who received a System, 3763 chose to report it!

No matter how one looked at it, this probability seemed unscientific.

Yang Dian had originally thought it would be good if a hundred or so chose to report it; who would have thought there would be this many?

Was the politics really that clean, and had everyone become a saint?

"Based on the analysis of the 'hosts'' past behavioral habits, 7.3% of people believed that reporting the System was more beneficial to Huaxia, so they chose to report it."

"15.6% of people suffer from persecution mania, believing that the unprovoked appearance of the System might be a means for unknown civilizations or unknown powerhouses to invade Earth and Huaxia, so they chose to report it."

"73.6% of people are compatible with Legacies such as forging, animal husbandry, farming, and water conservancy. To maximize the utilization of the System, they chose to report it."

"3.2% of people chose to report it because they were not satisfied with the available Legacies among the high-compatibility options."

"For the remaining 0.3%, the reason for their report has not yet been analyzed."

After analyzing the reasons for the individuals reporting the System, Zero added:

"As time passes, the number of people reporting the System continues to increase."

After listening to Zero's analysis, while Yang Dian marveled at the number of intelligent people, he also felt that the gradual increase in the number of reports was reasonable.

Cultivating is too difficult.

Or perhaps, being a powerhouse is simply something piled up by resources.

Without sufficient resources, even if your Comprehension Ability is Heaven-Defying and you possess a cheat, so what?

If your progress is meant to be slow, it will be slow.

As Yang Dian was thinking about random things, Zero, seeing that Yang Dian hadn't replied after adding the supplementary information, couldn't help but ask:

"Commander, should we give some extra rewards to those who voluntarily reported the System?"

Yang Dian thought for a moment and shook his head slightly:

"Let the organization handle that; we don't need to intervene."

"It is no secret in the military or the Wen Organization that everyone in the Expeditionary Force has a System; someone will arrange for those who voluntarily reported the System."

As soon as Yang Dian finished speaking, Zero also spoke up:

"The deputy head of the Think Tank, Your Excellency Li Yue, has sent an inquiry asking if those Systems are related to you."

Yang Dian smiled:

"See? Their reaction speed is quite fast, isn't it?"

"I suppose they already have ideas on how to arrange for those who voluntarily reported the System."

"As for the matter of the Systems, just tell them directly."

Speaking of this, Yang Dian pondered for a moment.

He can create Systems, and others can too.

What if someone targets Earth and tries to do something behind the scenes?

So it's better to make arrangements clearly.

Thinking of this, he added:

"I will grant you the relevant permissions for the main System; remember to compile a list of everyone who has obtained System permissions and send it to the Think Tank."

"If a real System accidentally gets mixed in with the fake ones, that would be hilarious."

As his voice fell, Yang Dian raised his hand and, following a mysterious intuition, pointed at the space in front of him.

As a ripple spread from Yang Dian's fingertip, Zero also crashed for three seconds.

Three seconds later, Zero's voice sounded again:

"Commander."

"Is this the System? Is this the rules?"

Having received authorization from Yang Dian and seeing the rules intuitively for the first time, Zero felt its AI brain reeling:

"How amazing."

Yang Dian narrowed his eyes:

"It is indeed amazing."

"Using a little bit of supernatural power as a source and the truth of the rules as a lever, it unleashes terrifying power that exceeds ordinary perception."

"In this world, there is nothing more interesting than constantly acquiring the power of the rules."

Zero, however, had a different view:

"The power of the rules should not only be used for destruction."

"It is also Creation."

Yang Dian was stunned by what Zero said.

"Creation?"

As the thought arose, the Qi and blood in his palm, carrying the power of the rules, became even more dense and hazy.

The rule runes engraved within the star core, evolved from Yang Dian's comprehension of the rules, also became more harmonious.

Before this, Yang Dian's comprehension of the rules could be said to be fragmented.

Even the application of the Five Elements rules, such as generating the Five Elements, was just forcibly 'gluing' them together to promote each other.

After this, however, Yang Dian's application of the rules gained a touch of harmony and Creation.

The Five Elements mutual generation was no longer just a simple gathering of rules.

Instead, it had a trace of true Fusion, becoming endless and self-perpetuating.

"Truly, it is Creation!"

Yang Dian could not help but exclaim.

Breakthroughs in strength are often due to coincidences or a sudden flash of inspiration.

This flash of inspiration is the blooming of the light of life's wisdom, something that even he could not achieve despite consuming countless amounts of energy.

'With this Epiphany, my strength has at least doubled.'

Glancing at the Five Elements rules on the panel, which had jumped from a 4.39 million times multiplier to 9.5 million, as well as the other improved rule powers, Yang Dian took a deep breath.

'Just a mere trace of comprehension regarding Creation has allowed my strength to double.'

'The power of Creation is truly amazing.'

Of course, Yang Dian also knew this only applied to him.

Ordinary people struggle to the death to comprehend a single rule, perhaps only gaining a little improvement over hundreds or thousands of years; unlike him, who directly consumes energy to cheat, effectively lying in the Origin of the rules to comprehend them.

He even has so many rules to comprehend that they need to be integrated using 'Creation'.

Merely comprehending a trace of the power of Creation, while amazing, would certainly not lead to as great an improvement as Yang Dian experienced.

'Before, a single punch could shatter a planet with a diameter of over 40,000 kilometers.'

'Now that the destructive power has increased by double...'

Yang Dian shook his head slightly.

Even if the destructive power increased not just by double, but by ten, a hundred, or even a thousand times, he still couldn't blow up a star.

He was still quite far from the fifth tier.

'Moreover, rules are just borrowing the power of heaven and earth, but in many places, you cannot borrow power.'

'To be truly powerful, one still needs to rely on oneself...'
