Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely Chapter 4: Strengthening of Yuan Force

"Take off?"

A profound transformation rippled through Tao Yu’s soul, filling his heart with an exhilaration that defied simple description.

His vision sharpened instantly, the world clarifying as his sensory perception underwent a sudden, remarkable enhancement.

He had never encountered a talent labeled Divinity during his time here.

As for that peculiar (MAX++??) designation, it was entirely alien to him; it seemed more like a nonsensical tangle of symbols than a standard rank.

Nevertheless, Tao Yu harbored tentative theories regarding the void-dwelling outer gods mentioned in the description, wondering if they held a connection to his own journey of transmigration.

While none of the three known Divinity abilities offered an immediate boost to his raw combat prowess, they represented a horizon of limitless potential.

The gifts bestowed by the world's will were not static, data-driven constants; without consistent discipline, any trained ability would inevitably atrophy.

Only through the accelerated refinement provided by Yuan Force—paired with rigorous exercise and deliberate consumption—could a cultivator maintain stability.

Yet, those concerns were now a thing of the past for Tao Yu!

His ability to heal any injury using Yuan Force and sustenance was an equally extraordinary skill.

Within eyeshot sat his physically impaired third brother and Uncle Hu, while his own parents carried the heavy burden of accumulated trauma from years of labor; none of these lingering afflictions would trouble him any longer.

His second ability, Spiritual Immunity, was straightforward in its phrasing, yet the prefix "ignore any" hinted at terrifying implications—a mastery that would grow in lethality the more formidable his opponents became.

Regarding the final ability, Deification, Tao Yu could not yet grasp its complete function, though he sensed its profound magnitude.

Yuan Force acted as an energy permeating the Abyssal Rift and the remnants of shattered worlds.

It usually resides within Yuan Force creatures and specialized artifacts. Slaying these creatures leaves behind remnants saturated in residual Yuan Force, occasionally yielding forgotten knowledge, combat techniques, or fragmented memories.

The same principle applies to objects imbued with Yuan Force; they often possess unique, utilitarian functions.

Take, for instance, the Autonomic Gun Turret perched atop his residence—a repurposed, secondhand Yuan Force item engineered to track and engage nearby fog demons.

In essence, Yuan Force functions as a catalyst for training, typically pushing a practitioner toward the theoretical zenith of their potential.

Consider physical conditioning: under the influence of Yuan Force acceleration, a regular person could potentially reach the human limit in metrics like explosive speed, raw power, and Endurance.

However, that ceiling remained fixed in the absence of specialized talents; without constant, strenuous maintenance—which itself demands additional Yuan Force—those gains would rapidly decline.

This same rule dictated the mastery of all arts, from the precision of firearms to the complexities of martial combat.

Should an individual acquire new knowledge from Yuan Force remnants or learn a technique directly from an entity within a world fragment, those lessons could likewise be accelerated through Yuan Force. In critical moments, a practitioner could even force a breakthrough past a stubborn bottleneck by exhausting a massive reserve of Yuan Force, with the outcome dictated by their aptitude and the intricacy of the skill.

The expenditure of Yuan Force depends heavily on one's cultivation foundation, natural talent, the difficulty of the maneuver, and the efficacy of the training methodology. Individuals practicing within their own domain of combat talent consume far less Yuan Force.

Furthermore, as an individual grows in strength, the volume of Yuan Force required for acceleration increases accordingly.

One could argue that while Yuan Force is indispensable, it is not omnipotent—it essentially facilitates a quantitative build-up.

Now, with the advent of Deification, could he leverage Yuan Force to catalyze a qualitative transformation of his very abilities?

This thought sent a jolt of intensity through Tao Yu. Taking a stabilizing breath, he reached for his backpack and withdrew a canvas sack. A chorus of metallic chimes emerged, suggesting the bag was heavy with hardened components.

When he parted the fabric, rows of shimmering metal crystals were revealed.

This was currency imbued with Yuan Force—a parting gift from his parents, cultivated from their own limited savings and invested into these rare metals. It was the greatest offering they could provide, intended for use only after his successful talent awakening.

Talent awakening lacks a fixed status interface, functioning more like a subconscious state, and Yuan Force itself is not governed by a standardized unit of measure.

Still, every individual develops a definition that suits their own willpower for tracking their progress.

Based on his parents' anecdotes and standard corporate transaction values, these stones represented roughly one thousand units of Yuan Force—equivalent to their combined earnings from three grueling months of labor.

This hoard could sustain a hundredfold acceleration for ten hours of standard training, or alternatively, a twentyfold boost for a full hundred-hour period.

As one's personal mastery or skill set refines, the demand for Yuan Force escalates.

Additionally, attempting to condense the acceleration into a shorter window results in higher consumption, which dramatically lowers the cost-efficiency. His parents had selected these two modes as the most viable options for his debut day.

While the first method offered lower efficiency, it minimized the time spent in the lethal environments of the fragments on one’s first day. By dedicating twenty-four hours to high-intensity training, a recruit could secure rapid, necessary improvements.

If one tried to cram that acceleration into a single hour, the efficiency might spike to five-hundredfold, but it would be far too wasteful for Tao Yu’s current needs.

As the potential for acceleration climbs, the cost experiences an exponential surge. As strength grows, the drain rate accelerates further. Eventually, even the most powerful figures may find the cost too exorbitant to bear.
