Chapter 158 Star Energy is the Foundation of Everything
Just as the figure of 'Water Ink' was covered by the 'Starry Rain Curtain' formed by Yu Chen's 'Silver Falcon' and 'Azure Owl'.

The anime suddenly cuts into a bizarre flashback scene that has nothing to do with the two people present.

'The Way of Heaven—we are all learning and cultivating together.'

Why do you always manage to leave everyone else far behind?

On a lawn on a hillside in the Ember Base.

Caroline stared at Tiandao, who was lying on the ground, basking in the sun with his legs crossed, her emerald eyes filled with confusion.

Upon hearing this, Tiandao spat out the grass root he was holding in his mouth, a lazy smile curving his lips.

'Caroline, this has absolutely nothing to do with the Star Eclipse Eye.'

'What does that have to do with?'

'talent.'

'? ? ? '

Seeing that Caroline still didn't understand, the Heavenly Dao simply said, "Think about it, everyone, including you, hasn't exhausted all their energy just by adapting to their own star core?"

Caroline tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded.

Tiandao sat up, turned to look at the still puzzled girl, and said with a smile, "This is the difference between me and you. I adapted to my star core very early on and started doing other things."

For example, the tempering of stellar energy.

'The tempering of stellar energy?'

Caroline frowned, clearly not following the Heavenly Dao's train of thought.

Seeing this, Heaven simply gave a simple example.

'Caroline, the association announced that the maximum star energy for a Level 1 Star Envoy is 1000 points, right?'

Caroline nodded, then said smoothly, "Yes, but the Doctor said that's just a statistical average; the value will fluctuate within a certain range between different people and different star sources."

Therefore, some people can reach 1500 at level one, while others only reach 800.

'But Heaven, why are you suddenly bringing this up?'

The Heavenly Dao smiled and then gave an explanation.

That's because what I'm about to tell you is the method to break through this limit.

As he spoke, Tiandao opened his hand in front of Caroline.

The next second, a pale blue sphere began to gather in the hand of the Heavenly Dao.

That was the signature star energy technique of the Heavenly Dao before it gained 'vector control'—Azure.

As the Heavenly Dao continuously injects star energy into this azure-blue star energy sphere.

The pale blue sphere began to grow larger and larger.

However, after the celestial body was compressed, the sphere began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually reaching the size of only a ping-pong ball.

After doing all this, Tiandao smiled and looked at Caroline, saying, "Well, do you understand now?"

Caroline nodded: "Yes, as long as one's physique is strong enough and one's control over star energy is refined enough, then even with the same upper limit of star energy, the stronger a star envoy's control over star energy, the more star energy they can contain within their body."

As she spoke, countless leaping quantum data streams flashed in Caroline's emerald eyes, clearly indicating that she was performing some kind of high-speed calculation.

And look at the rapidly updating data stream in Caroline's pupils.

Tiandao slowly took off his sunglasses, looked at Caroline beside him, and his voice suddenly became solemn.

'Caroline, remember this: if Star Source is the tool, then Star Energy is the energy that drives everything.'

Therefore, stellar energy is the true foundation of a star messenger.

The moment the words fell, the slightly immature figure of Tiandao in the scene began to slowly overlap with the blurry figure of 'Shuimo' in the normal timeline.

Most viewers believed that the production team of Stellaris chose this time to release this flashback to explain the importance of 'Star Energy' to Star Envoys.

They were completely unaware that this was actually another way the production team was hinting at something.

This suggests that there is an intricate connection between the Fifth Division Captain, 'Suimo,' and the silver-haired boy from earlier.

However, this hidden secret within the light and shadow has only been noticed by a select few at this moment. [The Bridge of Gears and Brass, Entrance]

As the smoke and dust surrounding the Heavenly Dao receded like a tide.

Yu Chen and the viewers in front of the screen gasped simultaneously.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dao was surrounded by a flowing, ink-like defensive barrier.

And relying on this defensive barrier.

He not only blocked all of Yu Chen's attacks, but also remained completely unharmed.

“Vice Captain Yu, you are indeed very interesting, but you seem to rely on your Star Source a bit too much.”

"You must understand that for Star Envoys, Star Energy is the foundation of everything."

"Because only the power of star energy is something that star envoys can decide for themselves."

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying surge of stellar energy erupted from the Heavenly Dao's body like a tidal wave.

Yu Chen's pupils contracted sharply, and the 'Fantasy Silver Wings' on his back instantly expanded to their maximum size. His figure transformed into a stream of light, attempting to escape from this terrifying 'Black Tide'.

However, the speed at which this wave of stellar energy advanced was far, far faster than he had imagined.

In the blink of an eye, Yu Chen was completely engulfed in this lightless abyss.

Even though he was already struggling in this dark abyss of star energy.

What was truly disheartening was that the more he struggled, the heavier his body became.

This was merely the Heavenly Dao's suppression of its purest stellar energy.

A very simple technique for using star energy that is so basic that it requires almost no explanation or practice and can be automatically mastered by all star envoys.

But sometimes, the simpler something is, the more difficult it is to accomplish.

To reach the Heavenly Dao level, he would need at least twice the star energy attribute of Yu Chen.

Although Yu Chen's own star energy attribute is not particularly exaggerated, it is still a full A- grade.

One can only imagine just how abnormal the stellar energy attribute of the Heavenly Dao has become.

Under the watchful eyes of the dimensional audience, Tiandao stepped on the deep black waves beneath his feet and walked step by step to the immobile Yuchen.

“You guys always think that Star Source is everything, but to me, Star Source is just a good tool.”

"Because in most cases, I don't need any complicated use of star energy. I just need to suppress my opponent with star energy and then defeat them."

Tiandao spoke calmly, as if he were just talking about something mundane.

But it was this tranquility that once again made the audience in the anime world feel the power of the character 'Shuimo'.

Because apart from the silver-haired monster, Tiandao Siming, who suppressed the No. 2 star of the constellations, Dust Star, solely with his star energy in the first season.

Currently, only 'ink painting' has achieved something similar.

The power of the Heavenly Way is fully demonstrated in the first season of "Stellaris".

Although nobody really believes they are the same person.

However, this terrifying ability to 'crush those of the same level with just star energy' has already led viewers to subconsciously categorize the two as the same type of person.

A type of person called 'monster'.

After all, to be able to manipulate even the most basic star energy to this extent.

A guy who doesn't need any fancy skills and just crushes opponents with basic stats—what else could he be but a monster?
In other words, Stellaris was not made into a game in reality.

Otherwise, players who get to play the Ink Painting and Heavenly Path characters are in luck.

Because these two characters clearly require a lot of skill!

Amidst the complex gazes of the dimensional audience, Tiandao slowly raised the Shattered Star in his hand.

Just as he said, he didn't need any fancy skills; with only the simplest basic star energy, he could achieve victories that others could only dream of.
