84: Chapter 84 The Path of Evolution

March 21, 2031.

8:50 AM, ten minutes before the press conference begins.

The main press hall of the Jing City International News Center is packed to capacity.

Reporters from hundreds of media outlets around the world crowd every corner, and camera lenses cover every possible angle.

Across the globe, broadcast signals have reached billions of terminals.

In city squares, people stop in front of large screens, looking up and waiting.

In remote mountain village huts, the elderly and children crowd around televisions.

In office buildings, white-collar workers put down their work.

Everyone holds their breath.

9:00 AM sharp.

The feed cuts in.

The highest-ranking officials of the Xia Kingdom enter and take their seats one by one.

They are dressed in formal attire, their expressions calm and solemn.

But everyone's gaze is not on them; it is directed at the seat on the far right.

That seat has a nameplate on it, with two characters printed on it: Chen Mo.

Then, he walks in.

A young man, wearing an ordinary black long-sleeved shirt.

His pace is not fast, and every step lands at the same interval.

He walks to his seat, sits down, and places his hands folded on the table.

His face appears in the same frame on billions of screens around the world.

Bullet comments flood out like an avalanche.

"This young man?"

"He looks so young???"

"His nameplate says Chen Mo."

"That couldn't be him, right??"

"Did Spiritual Energy Revival make him young?"

A representative of the highest-ranking officials of the Xia Kingdom speaks.

His voice, amplified by a loudspeaker, forms a steady wave of sound in the hall.

"Everyone, welcome to today's press conference."

The scene falls silent.

"The following content will be explained to you all by the gentleman beside me, Mr. Chen Mo."

He turns slightly and nods in Chen Mo's direction.

"This is the person you know as the God of the Human World."

The bullet comments explode into a blizzard.

The comment section is like a boiling sea in a gale, flooded with exclamation marks, question marks, and layers of text so dense they are unrecognizable.

Chen Mo does not say much.

He simply raises his right hand. Palm facing up, five fingers slightly spread.

The air in his palm trembles for a moment.

A white ball of light emerges from the Void Realm.

It is a sphere, the size of a fist, condensing out of thin air from his palm—white, blazing, like a miniature star compressed into this tiny space.

Hundreds of millions of bullet comments freeze in the same instant.

All doubts and all skepticism vanish.

Chen Mo closes his palm, and the ball of light dissipates.

Then he speaks: "Today's press conference is to formally disclose the evolution path of humanity."

His voice is not intentionally raised, but through a Force Field, it covers the entire venue with uniform sound pressure, and then transmits from the live broadcast signal to every corner of the world.

"First, to answer a question that has been circulating online for a long time: Has the Xia Kingdom obtained the secret regarding Spiritual Energy Revival? The answer is, yes. That Basic Muscle Tension Technique was organized and created by me."

He pauses for a moment, then continues under the gaze of the world.

"Its full name is the Human Breathing Method."

For the next ten minutes, Chen Mo lays out the complete path of human evolution before the entire world.

"The Human Breathing Method consists of three parts.

The first part is what you have already been practicing: the Basic Muscle Tension Technique.

Its function is to activate the deep muscle groups throughout the body, re-establish the correct force transmission chain, and lay a solid physical foundation."

He pauses.

"The second part is Rhythm Perception.

When your force output reaches 1.5 times, the trainee can begin to use Mental Perception to sense the Rhythm inside the body. Everyone has a unique Rhythm frequency, which is related to your heartbeat, breathing, electromyographic signals, and nerve conduction Rhythms.

Finding this Rhythm is the threshold for the second part.

This step does not require brute force; it requires the mind's ability to perceive the body."

"I call these two parts the [Basic Realm].

When the Basic Realm is trained to the extreme, the human body will enter a brand-new state, the sensitivity to Spiritual Qi will be greatly improved, and the lifespan can be extended to one hundred and fifty years."

"The third part is Mastering Rhythm.

After finding the Rhythm, engrave it into muscle memory through repeated training, allowing it to become an automatic operating state that does not require conscious participation.

Upon reaching this step, the Human Breathing Method can be considered formally initiated.

At this point, your breathing will automatically match the Rhythm frequency, actively absorbing Spiritual Qi around the clock, with efficiency increased tenfold.

I call this stage the [Rhythm Realm].

After stepping into the Rhythm Realm, human physical fitness will see a qualitative Breakthrough, capable of suppressing tigers and leopards, and enduring extreme environments far beyond ordinary people.

Lifespan will be extended to three hundred years."

He stops in front of billions of people around the world, giving them time to digest the information.

Then he continues: "After the Rhythm Realm comes the next stage.

The difficulty of this stage is at least hundreds or thousands of times that of the Rhythm Realm."

He raises his right hand, and the ball of light appears again.

"When the Rhythm permeates every cell in the body, and the body and Mental Power are highly unified, a new energy form, [Source Power], will be formed in every cell.

Source Power is the Fusion of the body, Mental Power, and Spiritual Qi.

I call this Realm the [Source Power Realm]."

He looks at the miniature, star-like ball of light in his palm.

"Stepping into the Source Power Realm allows one to drive Source Power to fly freely, and to condense a Source Power protective layer to enter space.

Lifespan will break through one thousand years, or even longer.

And I, at present, am only at this Realm."

The entire venue is dead silent, the lights flickering slightly in the reflection of the ball of light.

"This is humanity's current path of evolution.

Basic Realm, Rhythm Realm, Source Power Realm.

The most correct direction.

There is no second."

Then his tone shifts.

"But there is one thing I want everyone to understand.

The difficulty of the Source Power Realm is hundreds or thousands of times that of the Basic Realm and Rhythm Realm.

Within at least ten years, no second person will reach this Realm.

I will announce the advancement method for the Source Power Realm at an appropriate time; when someone among humanity breaks through the threshold, come find me to learn."

Chen Mo extinguishes the ball of light in his palm and places his hands back on the table.

"The Xia Kingdom will subsequently officially announce the full content of the Human Breathing Method, including the complete training methods for Rhythm Perception and Mastering Rhythm.

Every human being, as long as they are willing to devote time and willpower, can embark on this path."

"I have placed the means of evolution within the Human Breathing Method."

He pauses for one last beat.

"The next era is the era of human evolution."

Across the globe, some begin to cheer, some are still stunned.

Some repeatedly replay the clip of the light ball condensing.

Some push open windows and shout at the sky.

Some bow their heads and frantically jot down every set of words he just said in their phone memos.

Human emotions lose any unified form in this moment; the only constant is that everyone is watching.

Still watching.

Watching until the next second.

Chen Mo stands up and walks toward the outside of the conference hall.

The venue doors open automatically before him, and outside, the sky above the plaza is just right.

He walks to the center of the plaza.

Then he tilts his head back.

Hands upward, Source Power gathers between his palms again.

This time it is not a demonstration the size of a fist; the ball of light begins to expand.

It grows and rises, like a star lifted from the center of the earth, slowly leaving the ground.

The air trembles slightly, and the entire plaza is illuminated in white.

The ball of light continues to rise, crossing the buildings at the edge of the plaza, crossing the skyline of Jing City.

Its diameter has exceeded 3 meters, but Chen Mo is still pouring Source Power into it, making it rise higher, brighter, yet without harming anyone.

This is a sun that will not set, a firework that will not burn anyone.

Then, at an altitude of ten thousand meters, the light blooms.

Countless white bands of light scatter from the center of the sphere in all directions, like a flower completing the moment from bud to bloom in a fraction of a second.

The bands of light trace arcs across the entire sky overhead, covering a range of tens of kilometers.

The entire Jing City is shrouded under this light, and what it brings is not fear, but splendor.

Some stop on the street, looking up at the sky with their arms open; some hold their phones but forget to press the record button; some have tears in their eyes but do not wipe them away.

Seeing this, infinite reverie rises in their hearts.

This time, they are not fearing power; they are embracing an era.
