141: Chapter 141 The Path to a Stronger System

The opponent's Origin of Cinder Sun could actually reverse-suppress energy of the same fire category, causing the opponent's fire power to nearly drop to zero.

If it were any other powerhouse of a fire-attribute system, encountering Jin would be almost equivalent to having half their combat power crippled.

"Interesting."

Chen Mo's interest was piqued instead.

He did not immediately force a breakthrough, but instead carefully sensed the principle behind the opponent's suppression.

Chen Mo discovered that Jin was using a higher-level flame Origin resonance to forcibly lower the activity of lower-level flame energy.

In essence, it was a suppression of the level of energy control.

"There's some skill to it."

Chen Mo commented softly.

But that was all.

Because his Hengyuan Force had never been just simple flame energy.

"Break."

A calm word fell.

The Inner World expanded with a boom, and the white-yellow light Domain instantly swept across the entire surface of the star.

Wherever it passed, all flame rules were forcibly reset, and the Origin suppression that Jin was so proud of shattered instantly, as if it had struck a copper wall and iron barrier.

"What?!"

Jin let out an incredulous exclamation.

Its most proud Origin suppression had actually failed?

Before it could react, the power of the Inner World had already contracted and condensed, turning into a giant hand that blotted out the sky, grabbing that ball of golden fire.

Crack.

It was like the soft sound of an eggshell breaking.

Jin's main body struggled violently in the giant hand, flames erupting wildly, but it could never break through the shackles of the Inner World.

In just a few breaths, the violent flames gradually dimmed, were eventually completely crushed by the Hengyuan Force, and finally turned into a wisp of blue smoke, dissipating into the space.

[Battle ended. Source Power System, Chen Mo, wins.]

[Trial Tower ranking updated: Current rank is 27th.]

The space returned to calm, and Chen Mo stood on the spot.

This battle was won easily, but it was not without gains.

The idea of attribute Origin suppression gave him new inspiration.

Hengyuan Force currently followed an all-around path—high temperature, impact, and defense were all covered—but it lacked this kind of targeted Origin attribute.

If he could further break down and refine the Hengyuan Force to deduce different attribute Origins, he could handle opponents of different systems with greater ease.

This was a new direction for the refined development of Hengyuan Force.

After three consecutive battles, he fought his way from 50th place all the way to 27th.

Chen Mo, however, had no intention of continuing to push upward.

Enough.

Zhao Ji's Extreme Will Tyrant Spear followed the path of "Will Condensing into Domain," using pure martial Dao will to pierce through rules and condense a Domain.

Wu Wuyi's Myriad Thoughts into One followed the path of "Mental Power Control," using consciousness to cover perception and manipulate external objects.

Jin's Origin of Cinder Sun followed the path of "Energy Origin," using Origin energy to rule over similar attributes and form suppression.

Three paths, three directions of 5th-tier control, each had its own merits, yet all pointed to the same destination.

And his Inner World was a complete Small World that integrated Physical Body, energy, Mental Power, and will.

Its level was naturally higher, but precisely because it was too complex, the polishing of many details was far inferior to these specialized systems.

"The improvement of the Inner World cannot rely solely on energy accumulation and expansion.

Integrating will can increase sharpness; integrating Mental Power can strengthen perception; integrating attributes can enrich means."

Chen Mo understood in his heart.

These three battles allowed him to find the direction to optimize his Inner World.

More importantly, he also saw the current shortcomings of the Source Power System; the reason the Source Power System was currently strong was, in essence, because he was strong.

The Inner World and such were all reliant on his Infinite Growth ability, which ordinary humans could simply not replicate.

Stripping away his personal exclusive abilities, the Source Power System, when placed among the ten thousand races, could only be considered upper-middle; it could not be considered top-tier.

The strength of a civilization cannot rely on just one person.

If the Source Power System wanted to truly carry the entire human race, it still needed a great deal of optimization and perfection.

Physical Body tempering, Mental Power enhancement, energy circulation—every link still had huge room for improvement.

The advantages of these systems—Zhao Ji's Extreme Will Tyrant Spear, Wu Wuyi's Myriad Thoughts into One, and Jin's Origin of Cinder Sun—could all be broken down, absorbed, and integrated into the Source Power System, making the Foundation of this system more stable and its upper limit higher.

Besides that, he only learned from Zhao Ji that the Trial Tower was not without rewards; it was just that the rewards would affect the development direction of the system, so in order to ensure the purity of the system, they would only be distributed uniformly after the Regional Genius Tournament ended.

Chen Mo could not help but shake his head.

If he hadn't met Zhao Ji, he probably would have waited a long time before knowing about this.

...

At this moment, the Spirit Energy Universe Public Domain had already completely boiled over because of these few ranking jumps.

In a short time, he fought his way from 101st place all the way to 27th, leaping over seventy-four places!

One had to know that within the top 100 of the Trial Tower, advancing even one rank was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

How many Prodigies were stuck at one position for years, unable to advance even a step.

But Chen Mo, on the other hand, was like chopping melons and vegetables, pushing horizontally all the way without even resting.

"A monster! Absolutely a monster!"

"Kong Ji, Shui Wuhen, Zhao Ji, Wu Wuyi, Jin... which one of them was not a renowned figure of the same tier? And he beat five of them in a single day?"

"I originally thought entering the top 100 was his limit, but he rushed straight into the top 30? What kind of background does this Source Power System actually have?"

"A Star Territory-level Genius... this is no longer just an ordinary Star Territory-level Genius, right?"

"Do you think he has a chance to challenge the top of the list, 'Yuan'?"

"Yuan is the recognized strongest of the 4th tier... it's hard to say, but it's worth looking forward to!"

The discussion heat in the Public Domain skyrocketed, and the intelligence agencies of major civilizations successively raised the name "Chen Mo" to the highest priority.

Almost all civilizations reached a consensus: this human pioneer would definitely reach the 6th tier in the future, and even had a chance to challenge a higher Realm.

Meanwhile, in the core Star Domain of human civilization, District 2673000.

Inside a giant war hall floating next to a star, four figures sat opposite each other, each exuding an unfathomable aura.

They were the four strongest pioneers of the main human civilization, all of whom were Universe powerhouses above the 6th tier.

Zhao Ji's figure sat on the left, slowly recounting the details of the battle in the Trial Tower.

"...His system is very special; it has complete 5th-tier Domain capabilities, the level is extremely high, and both his Physical Body and energy are ridiculously strong. Most importantly, he has only been connected to the Spirit Energy Universe for less than a year."

"What?!"

A man in a green shirt on the right suddenly opened his eyes, his tone shocked, "Less than a year, and he rushed into the top 30?"

"That's impossible, right?" Another female cultivator also frowned, her face full of disbelief.

The youth sitting in the main seat frowned tightly and said in a deep voice, "Zhao Ji, are you sure?"

"Absolutely certain." Zhao Ji nodded solemnly, "I fought him myself. His strength is extremely strong, and he hasn't even Cultivated to the limit of the 4th tier yet."

The council space was silent for a few seconds.

Less than a year, top 30 of the Trial Tower.

Everyone knew what this meant.

This was an unprecedented Genius, a seed capable of leading human civilization to the next level.

The youth in the main seat spoke slowly, his tone solemn, "List Chen Mo, the pioneer of the Blue Star human civilization and the Source Power System, as the first sequence of the race.

All Cultivation resources, system data, and Secret Realm permissions are to be opened to him. Once the Regional Genius Tournament ends, send someone to make contact immediately."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

The three nodded one after another, without any objections.

Zhao Ji laughed, "I knew you all would agree. After the Regional Genius Tournament ends, I will personally bring him back."

A Prodigy of the same race capable of challenging a higher Realm is worth the entire race's full effort to Cultivate.
