129: Chapter 129 Changes in Constant Force

Cultivation knows no time.

Ten days passed silently.

The sky over Han City went through ten Reincarnations from dawn to dusk, and Chen Mo had not changed his posture in the position where he sat cross-legged.

Hengyuan Force circulated within his body without a moment's pause.

Every cycle was a tempering of his body.

Every part of his body became denser under the repeated scouring of the golden flames.

A faint golden luster began to emerge from deep within his bone marrow.

His physical strength had already reached 2.14 million tons.

Ten days ago, it was just over 2 million tons.

The acceleration of Hengyuan Force's tempering of his body continued, and the further it went, the greater the enhancement brought by each transformation became.

Chen Mo felt no ripples in his heart.

The combination of Infinite Growth and the tempering of Hengyuan Force should naturally be this way.

A greater change lay within Hengyuan Force itself.

Chen Mo raised his right hand, palm facing upward.

A wisp of Hengyuan Force surged from his palm, condensing into a fist-sized ball of light above his fingertips.

Ten days ago, the color of this light was a pure golden yellow, like a miniature stellar core.

Now, the golden yellow was fading, replaced by a layer of white-yellow halo.

White-yellow.

The temperature of the flames was rising, the density was deepening, and the quality of every wisp of Hengyuan Force had increased by nearly ten percent compared to ten days ago.

The color change of Hengyuan Force corresponded to its stage of qualitative change.

Chen Mo observed the flames circulating within his body.

He was very familiar with this change.

Medium-mass stars would expand into red giants at the end of their lives, but that was due to the imbalance between outer shell expansion and core collapse.

His Hengyuan Force did not follow that path.

From the very beginning, Hengyuan Force followed a path of becoming denser and denser.

Hengyuan Force continuously tempered and compressed, the temperature rose, and the spectrum shifted toward the blue-white end.

From golden yellow to white-yellow.

From white-yellow to pure white.

Finally, when the color elevated to blue-white, both mass and temperature would reach their limits.

That was the end point of a supermassive star.

A blue-white giant star.

With a surface temperature of tens of thousands of degrees, its luminosity would be sufficient to illuminate several galaxies.

That was the true limit that Hengyuan Force could reach within the 4th-Rank framework.

Chen Mo withdrew his perception.

"When the limit is reached, the direction for the 5th-Rank will be completely revealed."

He did not continue to deduce.

The path was correct; once he reached the end, he would be able to see the next segment.

During these ten days, Minister Li Long and Elder Liu had established a direct connection channel with the Tianzhi Race.

Cang had dispatched a specialized liaison team.

After several days of intensive communication, the civilization advancement plan had been finalized.

When Elder Liu came to the office to report, he was filled with irrepressible excitement.

The core of the plan was to proceed in stages.

In the first stage, the Tianzhi Race would assist the Blue Star Federation in completing the global AI coordination System.

It would integrate resource extraction, energy scheduling, and industrial production into a unified intelligent network, while simultaneously building a planetary climate monitoring System.

After this step was completed, every ton of Ore, every unit of electricity, and every change in ocean currents on Blue Star would enter real-time dynamic optimization.

In the second stage, they would accelerate the commercial mass production of controllable nuclear fusion and promote the development of various planetary energy sources.

Geothermal, tidal, and orbital solar energy—all high-efficiency energy sources that had once remained at the theoretical stage.

With the engineering and technical support of the Tianzhi Race, the mass production timeline would be significantly advanced.

In the third stage, they would master earthquake intervention technology and atmospheric control technology.

They would completely control Blue Star and ascend to a Rank 1 civilization.

"Virtual Universe and genetic technologies are also being advanced simultaneously," Elder Liu added, "but the three steps above are the backbone."

Chen Mo finished reading the entire plan.

Then he noticed a problem.

"Why not fully accept the technology of the Tianzhi Race? Using what is already available should be faster."

Elder Liu was silent for a few seconds.

Then he spoke, his pace not fast, every word carefully considered.

"Chairman. According to civilization Rank classification, the Tianzhi Race has already reached a Rank 3 civilization, which is a galactic civilization, and is currently on the way toward a Rank 4 civilization."

"Although they are still very far from a Rank 4 civilization, their technological System far exceeds our current level of understanding."

He looked at Chen Mo.

"It is most important for a civilization to possess the ability for self-innovating technology."

"Fully accepting the technology of the Tianzhi Race may seem to have the highest efficiency in the short term, but in the long term, our technology tree will be completely bound to their framework."

"Once path dependence is formed, we will completely become subordinates to others in terms of technology."

"For the long-term development of humanity, this step is necessary."

Chen Mo looked at Elder Liu.

He trusted Elder Liu's judgment.

"You have full authority to arrange it."

Chen Mo said directly.

"I entrust this important responsibility to you."

Elder Liu stood up straight.

The wrinkles on his face appeared particularly deep at that moment, but there was no hesitation in his eyes.

"Rest assured, Chairman. We will certainly give it our all."

From this day on, human civilization officially began its ascent toward a Rank 1 civilization.

Time continued to pass.

On July 1st, Chen Mo's Hengyuan Force underwent a complete transformation.

The white-yellow light plasma surged within his body, each cycle accompanied by an energy density an order of magnitude higher than before.

The color of Hengyuan Force had completely faded away the shadow of gold.

It was a pure white-yellow, like a star moving from G-type to F-type.

The mass was greater, the temperature higher, and the radiance more intense.

His combat power leaped simultaneously, reaching 94,999.

He was only one last step away from 95% of the 4th-Rank combat power.

Just as he was preparing to continue his cultivation.

The office door was knocked, and Minister Li Long's voice came from outside.

"Chairman, I have an important matter to report."

Chen Mo responded, and the door opened.

Minister Li Long walked in, holding a portable holographic projector in his hand.

His expression carried a fluctuation that Chen Mo rarely saw on his face.

Minister Li Long was not someone who didn't show his emotions, but after the series of major events such as the disaster, the establishment of the Federation, and the connection of the Spirit Energy Universe, there were few things left that could excite him.

Minister Li Long turned on the projector, and an image unfolded between the two of them.

He did not speak, first projecting a holographic video in front of Chen Mo.

On the screen was Cheng Jian.

He was standing on the training ground of the Extraordinary Headquarters, and the concrete floor beneath his feet was rippling like the surface of water.

Ripples spread outward from Cheng Jian's feet, with a radius of at least forty meters.

The surface structure within the range was repeatedly overturned, compressed, raised, and subsided at his every thought.

Chen Mo's pupils contracted slightly.

"This is..."

"An ability."

Minister Li Long's tone suppressed excitement, "Earth Control."

He reported the data one by one.

"During this period, after the spirit source collection technology provided by the Tianzhi Race was put into operation, we captured over 1,349 spirit sources in total."

"According to your previous instructions, only 10 were allocated to Cheng Jian."

"Before absorption, Cheng Jian's base strength was 33.4 tons, Mental Power was 5.4, and his force multiplier was 5.2 times."

"After absorbing 10 spirit sources, his strength increased by 12 tons, reaching 45.4 tons. His Mental Power increased by 0.3, reaching 5.7."

Minister Li Long paused for a second.

"Most importantly, he has undergone Awakening of an ability."

Chen Mo raised his eyes.

The probability of Awakening an ability by absorbing spirit sources was clearly written in the Tianzhi Race's data.

About one in a billion.

This was a purely probabilistic event.

Out of 1,349 spirit sources, Cheng Jian had awakened using only ten.

Ten.

A one-in-a-billion probability.

Could it be that the person he picked at random was actually the chosen one?

Minister Li Long repeated, "Cheng Jian could control the flipping and vibration of the ground within a range of tens of meters upon his initial Awakening."

"Currently, the coverage radius is about forty meters and is still growing."

Chen Mo became interested.

This was the first time a human on Blue Star had awakened an ability.

"Let's go and take a look."
