This villain is too popular.

Chapter 227 Heavenly Dao Cells - The Envisioned Immortal Mode [Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets]

As the pale blue lightning flowed across Tiandao's arm, the comments section of the dimensional viewers exploded.

Because of Tiandao's performance in the past two seasons, and the shocking effect of his recent use of 'Perfect Technique: Purgatory Rashomon'.

They knew very well that Tiandao, as the "favorite son" of the production team and the "face of the production team," could always bring unexpected surprises to everyone.

And they were right.

With its star energy value breaking through the second-level critical point, the Heavenly Dao had already acquired the ability to challenge the third-level star envoy.

However, his hesitation was not due to a lack of strength, but rather because he was waiting for the exclusive reward for the season's most popular player after the second season ended—the right to modify the character's backstory.

In the first season, Tiandao not only used this authority to add a terrifying talent called 'overclocking calculation' to himself, but also gained an exclusive side story, which greatly boosted his popularity.

At the same time, it is also because of this special talent that the Heavenly Dao is able to subconsciously maintain the high-computational-power technique of 'Return of All Things', making it an almost unsolvable passive ability.

This second permission to modify the character's background is equally important and significant to him now.

This is because it not only relates to the plot structure and iconic scenes of his third season, but also to the special technique he had been conceiving for a long time—the Sage Mode.

In a famous manga from a previous life, the core of Sage Mode was 'Sage Energy'.

This energy requires the absorption of natural energy to be combined with one's own physical and mental energy in a balanced ratio of 1:1:1.

Despite the significant differences in the power systems of the two worlds, the Heavenly Dao believed that he could fully adopt the concept of the unity of 'essence, energy, and spirit'.

In a sense, Heaven has not only done something similar, but it has also succeeded.

This refers to the 'coexistence' state after the 'star nucleus' and 'star source' are perfectly combined.

In this state, the Heavenly Dao can integrate 'vector control' into its own star energy, making its star energy utilization rate and effect far exceed that of ordinary people.

However, this kind of 'coexistence' is undoubtedly missing a very crucial element compared to the 'divine energy' in the famous comics of the previous life, namely 'physical energy'.

In most people's eyes, 'body energy' may be equivalent to the star energy in the Star Envoy's body.

But Heaven has a completely different understanding of this.

He felt that the Star Envoy's physical body was itself a manifestation of 'energy'.

Furthermore, the physical strength and potential of a Star Envoy directly determine the upper limit of their future potential.

That's why he looked down on the Mechanics, thinking that these guys had gone mad and would actually think of turning all their bodies into cold machines.

This approach might work in a world where the power system is not very sophisticated.

However, in a world like Stellaris, where the waters are clearly deep, a purely mechanical ascension route might not necessarily be much stronger than a traditional cultivation route.

They can only bully ordinary star envoys at levels one and two.

Once you reach level three, the advantages of intelligent machine modification will visibly decrease.

After all, at this level, most Star Envoys have undergone a qualitative change, and their strength far surpasses what they used to be.

Although the Heavenly Dao has already spent a lot of popularity points to develop its various attributes to the extreme at this stage.

But Tiandao felt that this was not his limit.

Because his potential includes not only his physical potential, but also his amazing 'popularity value'!
The biggest wave of popularity for the second season hasn't arrived yet, so how can we say that he has fully developed his potential?
Therefore, the perfect opportunity for him to break through is not now, but after the second season of All Stars ends.

As soon as he gets the reward for winning the second season's popularity championship, he will immediately use the 'background modification permission' to add a brand new talent setting for himself.

A concept called 'Heavenly Path Cell'.

【Name: Heavenly Path Cells】

[Effects: Possesses powerful star energy recovery and storage rates, enhances bodily regeneration and environmental adaptability, and is perfectly compatible with various special techniques]

[Description: 'The weak adapt to the environment, the strong become the environment themselves.' — Heavenly Dao Master of Fate] Heavenly Dao had long ago inquired with the Popularity System about the feasibility of 'Heavenly Dao Cells' and received an affirmative answer.

That means this setting is entirely within the scope of the 'Character Story Background Modification' authority.

It is precisely because Heaven knows these things that it is not in a hurry to break through.

Why rush to break through when the potential hasn't even been realized yet?
What he is doing at this moment is essentially just a derivative of vector control.

It was also an exploration of his own physical limits.

After all, the reason he could generate electricity in his arm at this moment was that he changed the direction of some of the 'electrons' in the air through vector control.

Of course, he can't actually control every single electron right now.

However, he was able to artificially create positive and negative electric fields by altering the force field around him, guiding the directional flow of electrons in the air and creating the illusion of "holding a thunderbolt in his hand."
However, this move is not very practical for the current Heavenly Dao.

What he really wanted to do was to see if he could further stimulate his physical potential through 'electric shock'.

However, the Heavenly Dao will not actually do this until it obtains the 'Heavenly Dao Cell'.

After all, electrocuting oneself is somewhat dangerous.

If he's not careful, he might get himself killed off before the production team of StarCraft even arranges a plot kill for him.

He just wanted to create some fancy moves to gain more 'popularity chips' for the upcoming third season and avoid audience fatigue with his work.

It's not that they really want to court death.

Celestial Cells, Immortal Mode, Lightning Control.
These are the new abilities that Heavenly Dao tailored specifically for the plot of the third season, 'Martial Arts Capital'.
After all, it's a place where everyone is a brute and 'hot-blooded' type.

Relying solely on Star Source abilities might get you called a 'sissy'.

Who is Tiandao?

He is the pinnacle of the stars, the answer of the embers!

He had already planned it out. Once the Starry Sky Ladder Ranking Tournament of Season 3 of the Starry Sky opened, he would find an opportunity to activate Sage Mode with his left hand, Eight Gates with his right, and Lightning Chakra Mode in the middle.

He announced his arrival to everyone in a way most in line with the spirit of the Martial Arts Capital.

His base attributes are already incredibly high.

In addition, there are the 'Heavenly Dao Cells' and the three 'Transformation Forms' that enhance it.

Under a level 4 natural disaster, who can withstand his serious punch?
There was a time when the Heavenly Dao was very averse to the concept of 'numerical monsters', feeling that it greatly affected the balance.

But after he got used to being a number-obsessed person, he realized that what he hated was not being a number-obsessed person, but rather that he hated not being one.

If being a numerical freak is a disease, then it seems he's already finding it hard to quit.

Thinking of this, Heaven couldn't help but laugh.

Looking at Tiandao's sudden wicked grin, little Danica instinctively shuddered.

Although she didn't know what Mr. Tiandao was thinking, her intuition told her that someone was about to be in trouble.

This reminded her of Chen Kong, who had been released by the Heavenly Dao not long ago, and she muttered to herself.

Could that older brother be this unlucky guy?

P.S.: That concludes today's update. The recent storyline has been difficult to write, so there's a lot I need to think about.

I'm asking for your monthly votes!
