Chapter 173: The Council’s Announcement
In the room,
Yi Chen was reaching the final stages of comprehending the various properties of the laws.
Over the past month, he had nearly advanced at lightning speed, understanding one property of the laws each day.
Next, he needed to take the second step.
Based on the characteristics of the power of the laws and his own spirit power, he aimed to create special law seals.
In Yi Chen’s mind, these law seals were equivalent to the core engines of formations.
These engines could absorb spirit energy and simulate or transform the corresponding power of the laws.
He needed to utilize his own spirit power and create them based on his understanding of the properties of the relevant laws.
The difficulty was considerable.
The main issue was that his realm was too low; he had just barely reached the minimum requirement for creating formations.
A low realm meant that his comprehension of various heavenly and earthly principles was not deep enough.
It was at an elementary school level.
Fortunately, lack of knowledge could be compensated with talent.
With the fierce beast army brought by the Sacred Water Tribe, the territory of the Flame Mountain Tribe had expanded to over 780,000 square kilometers.
The additional talent bonus reached as high as 7.8 times.
Spirit power surged from Yi Chen’s Qi Sea.
Soon, a defensive light curtain formed before him.
This light curtain used spirit power to guide the formation of the power of the laws.
Since he did not use the Method of All Laws, the defense of the light curtain was not particularly strong.
However, Yi Chen was not trying to defend against anything.
He simply wanted to produce the purest form of the power of the laws for research, to see how he could create law seals that continuously transformed the power of the laws.
He wrapped the defensive light curtain with his divine consciousness, analyzing and studying it.
While continuously channeling spirit power from his Qi Sea, an unusual energy shape formed beside the light curtain, measuring only a few inches in both length and width.
With his eyes slightly closed, Yi Chen controlled his spirit power with divine consciousness, carving a mysterious line with traces of the laws into the energy shape.
After carving two lines, he cut off the spirit power, making the shape disappear.
Thanks to his powerful talent, he vaguely sensed and predicted that the positions of these two law lines were incorrect, and there would be no continuation thereafter.
If he made a mistake, he would start over!
From his Qi Sea, spirit power surged forth once more, and for the second time, an unusual energy shape formed beside the light curtain.
…
“Is Yi Chen not creating skills but something akin to divine consciousness?”
The audience in the live room started to feel a bit confused.
Based on Yi Chen’s state, it seemed like he was directly researching and testing something.
It was not like the usual process of creating skills, where he would first comprehend the principles of heaven and earth and then proceed to study the energy circulation pathways.
It looked more like the process of creating his divine consciousness ability, where he did not need an energy circulation pathway but instead created a new ability directly.
“Is there a brilliant mind among us who can reason out what new ability Yi Chen is actually creating?” someone asked with curiosity.
“Having a brilliant mind and top-notch logical skills is useless here; the success rate for reasoning about Yi Chen is very low,” someone quickly countered.
“Only those with imaginative and unconventional thinking might stumble upon the answer.”
“I remember when Yi Chen crafted the flying treasure, there was a brother who, through sheer guessing based on just the known condition of heavy usage, miraculously predicted that Yi Chen was going to build a house.”
“I think this time it’s more suitable for reasoning. Previously, skills were judged to be defensive; now, it should be a defensive ability.”
“Because all the signs indicate that whether it was Yi Chen using Sword Energy to cut walls, studying the golden-furred Little Gold Ball, or using divine consciousness to sense the hardness of spirit mines… or even now, the light curtain he produced, all connect only to defensive skills or abilities.”
“The only thing that’s unclear is that strange little shape; we don’t know how Yi Chen created it or what he is researching and testing about it.”
“But it must be related to the defensive ability; we just can’t figure out its function yet.”
“That sounds somewhat reasonable. Whether it really makes sense, only Yi Chen knows. We don’t know how long it will take Yi Chen to finish this new ability.”
“If we infer from the process of creating the divine consciousness, it will likely take a long time.”
“You should know, when he first created the divine consciousness, it took him only a few hours to start researching and creating it. I think it took about four or five days to complete the divine consciousness.”
“The time difference between the two is roughly twenty times. It’s not like creating skills, where the time spent comprehending and researching the energy circulation pathways is almost one-to-one.”
“Right now, he has already spent over a month comprehending the principles of heaven and earth. It’s possible that creating this ability will take two or three years.”
“I hope it’s as quick as possible, but I also wish it would take longer.”
“Yes…”
The audience in the live room felt very conflicted.
Hoping for it to be quick was driven by their curiosity to discover what Yi Chen’s new ability was.
Hoping for it to take longer meant that the day of teaching this new ability seemed far off, leading to anxious anticipation.
“Hey, the council has made an announcement; can someone check what it says?” someone revealed in the live room.
The vast majority of the audience chose to ignore it.
Council announcements were usually lengthy and tedious, often longer than many novels.
An announcement that could be summarized in one sentence could stretch out to several pages.
Most people waited for media analysis before looking at a simplified version.
However, a small portion of the audience logged onto the council’s official website to take a glance.
Upon seeing dozens of pages, half of them quickly chose to retreat.
Only a few people quickly skimmed through to get the gist.
Upon doing so, they were stunned.
They were astonished to find that the core content of this lengthy announcement seemed vaguely related to Yi Chen and the Heart Tribulation Stage.
Some top geniuses quickly read through the announcement, using their powerful divine consciousness, and were all left completely shocked.
The grand total of over 200,000 words summarized into a substance that was not very lengthy.
The gist was that due to stealing Yi Chen’s skills, all of humanity was rapidly transforming and evolving, which led to a mysterious relationship developing between humanity and Yi Chen.
When humanity breaks through to the Peak of the ninth level of Spirit Consciousness and experiences a heart tribulation, it is very likely that they will encounter an illusion where Yi Chen demands skills.
To successfully overcome this illusion and break through to the first level of Heart Tribulation Stage, one needs to weaken this mysterious relationship.
The first option is for those at the Peak of the ninth level of Spirit Consciousness to voluntarily pay Yi Chen tuition based on their own will and conditions.
Then the council and military would convert it into what Yi Chen needs and send it to the exile planet using Large Battleships.
The specific plan is still being drafted and is expected to be announced in a day.
Everyone who saw the rough content of the announcement was greatly shaken.
It seemed very serious!
