"Activate the Enlightenment function."

Once he made up his mind, Aizen no longer hesitated and calmly issued the command to the chat group.

[Command confirmed, Enlightenment Space open.]

In an instant, that supreme dimension beyond comprehension descended once more.

Countless rules representing the origins of the Bleach world system surged toward him in an almost incomprehensible way!

The conception of Asauchi, the calling of the Zanpakuto's true name, the rules and unlocking conditions for Shikai and Bankai, and the mapping relationship between Zanpakuto abilities and the soul essence of the wielder.
The technical possibilities of how to bypass real-name communication to directly steal, copy, or even modify the rules of Zanpakuto are presented like a cold formula.

The causes of Hollow Hollows, the evolutionary tree of Hollows, the optimization of Arrancar technology, the principles and countermeasures of sealing abilities; deeper combinations and optimizations of abilities such as Kido, Binding, and Shun.
Countless questions surfaced in Aizen's mind, only to be answered in an instant.

But that's not all!
What the Enlightenment Space revealed to him was not limited to the Death God system.

Throughout the myriad realms, all laws related to "soul," "energy," "rules," "evolution," and "consciousness" converge as if drawn together, engaging in a frenzied comparison, verification, and fusion with the rules of the Death God system!
All this vast knowledge was forcibly "granted" to him, and under his comprehension, which was enhanced to the extreme, he instantly understood, absorbed, and began to make crazy connections with his existing knowledge!
Scientific inspiration is emerging at an unprecedented rate!
Countless research topics that were once only vaguely defined or even unthinkable have now been illuminated, and clear paths, key difficulties, and even general solutions are rapidly taking shape in his mind!
It was as if he had launched countless research projects at the same time, and each project was progressing at the speed of light!
For a researcher like Aizen, who desperately craves wisdom and truth, the mental pleasure and satisfaction brought by this state of mastering all knowledge, understanding all rules, and having inspiration flowing like a spring far exceeds the increase in power itself!

However, under this extremely efficient "granting" and "comprehension," the points he had accumulated were also being consumed rapidly.

Aizen was completely absorbed in the moment and was unaware of it. However, for him, the knowledge and inspiration he gained every second was far more valuable than the points themselves.

I don't know how much time has passed, maybe just a moment, but the massive amount of points is about to run out.

[Ding, the group member, the Fifth Squad Captain, has exhausted their points and has automatically exited the Enlightenment Space.]

A beep sounds.

Aizen's consciousness was gently returned.

He slowly opened his eyes, and countless points of wisdom in his deep brown eyes gradually settled, eventually settling into a deeper and wiser calm.

He gently pushed up his glasses, the tactile sensation of the regular flow still lingering on his fingertips.

Fifth Division Captain: "...Truly, an amazing experience."

Fifth Division Captain: "It seems that the priority of acquiring points needs to be raised again."

Aizen's voice was calm and gentle, but if you listened carefully, you could sense the contentment beneath that calm.

He didn't describe the specific gains, but all the group members could feel the improvement Aizen received after using the [Enlightenment Function].

Death Agent: "Is the [Enlightenment Ability] really that powerful?"

Death Agent: "You've become obsessed with the [Enlightenment Space] just like the Marquis, haven't you?"

Death Agent: "They've actually started to care about points."

Kurosaki Ichigo was slightly surprised by Aizen's reaction.

In his memory, Aizen was always calm and composed, as if he had everything under control, and rarely expressed such an urgent need for a certain resource so directly.

Although this statement may not seem very obvious, it was indeed the first time for Aizen.

Is the effect of the [Enlightenment Function] really that amazing?
Even someone like Aizen, after trying it, didn't hesitate to prioritize gaining points.

This naked desire for points was something that, apart from Marquis Voban, only Kasumigaoka Utaha possessed in the past.

Fifth Division Captain: "I've always been very concerned about points."

Fifth Division Captain: "Right now, we're just showing this concern on the surface."

Aizen did not deny Ichigo Kurosaki's words, but merely clarified the misunderstanding.

For him, points meant resources, knowledge, and the power of different systems, all of which he needed. How could he not care about points?
In the past, this "concern" manifested as a calm, planned hoarding and selective use, rather than an urgent need.

Fifth Division Captain: "The value of points lies in what they can be exchanged for."

Fifth Division Captain: "In the past, there weren't many things that were worth investing a lot of points in. While the [Enhancement Function] can certainly bring a leap in power, its essence is 'gambling,' and its outcome is 'uncontrollable.'"

Fifth Division Captain: "Investing more points may yield nothing, which contradicts my principles."

Fifth Division Captain: "But the [Enlightenment Function] is different."

Fifth Division Captain: "It's not like the [Enhancement Function], which simply and crudely 'amplifies' a specific ability with random results."

Fifth Division Captain: "Instead, it presents the mysteries of the rules and the knowledge of all laws directly to you, granting you the ultimate 'comprehension' so that you can 'understand' and 'master' them yourself."

Fifth Division Captain: "It doesn't give you the result, but rather the ability to obtain the result and the process itself."

Fifth Division Captain: "What you can 'understand' and how deeply you understand it certainly depends on the time you have to accumulate points, but more importantly, the choice is in your hands."

The Fifth Division Captain said: "You can focus on making up for your own shortcomings, delve into a long-standing problem, compare the advantages and disadvantages of different systems and rules, or even try to deduce a completely new and unimaginable path."

Fifth Division Captain: "It brings a definite, comprehensive, and fundamental improvement, and it perfectly aligns with my own path of 'seeking knowledge' and 'exploration'."

Fifth Division Captain: "Compared to the [Enhancement Function], it suits me better."

It is precisely because the effect of the [Enlightenment Function] is so perfectly suited to his needs that points are so important to Aizen.

In order to use this feature more frequently and for longer periods, he naturally needs to earn more points.

As for addiction, no.

Investing resources in projects with the highest and most stable returns is the best choice.

An ordinary group admin: "That's right, that's exactly it."

An ordinary group admin: "Didn't I already explain this? Why are you explaining it again, Aizen?"

Su Yunqing nodded vigorously, deeply agreeing with Aizen's analysis, but then added a somewhat confused comment.

She had already explained it before, so why did Aizen repeat it again?
A prodigy among loners: "Um, your explanation and Aizen's explanation are probably completely different things, right?"

Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't help but interject. He glanced at the chat history, and his lips twitched slightly.

Su Yunqing's previous description of the [Enlightenment Function] was "It's as if you suddenly become the world itself! All knowledge and rules, no matter how difficult to understand, are directly poured into your brain";
"You don't even need to think or ponder; it's as if the answer was already imprinted in your soul, and now it's just being polished."

Basically, he just expressed his feelings.

Just have fun! Be awesome!

However, Aizen describes the [Enlightenment Function] as "It directly presents the mysteries of the rules and the knowledge of all laws to you, granting you ultimate 'enlightenment' so that you can 'understand' and 'master' it yourself."

It doesn't give you the result, but rather the ability to achieve it and the process itself; the choice is yours.

Hachiman Hikigaya compared the two.

A genius among loners: "These are completely two different levels of explanation!"

He couldn't help but complain.

An ordinary group owner: "Huh? Really? Aren't they all the same thing? Anyway, it's very powerful and easy to use!"

Su Yunqing tilted her head, clearly not seeing any fundamental difference; as long as the effect was amazing, wasn't that enough?
Fifth Division Captain: "."

Aizen looked at Su Yunqing's reaction and helplessly pushed up his glasses.

Fifth Division Captain: "Let's just assume it means the same thing for now."

In any case, they all describe the power of the "enlightenment function".

The oldest god-slayer: "@Fifth Division Captain, how much have you improved through the [Enlightenment Function]?"

After Aizen used the [Enlightenment Function], Marquis Voban asked him a question.

Although he had already achieved the status of being the number one person in the chat group below Bai Xuan, Aizen, as one of the group members whose strength was closest to his own and who had even surpassed him not long ago, would naturally be taken very seriously by him.

Although he is currently ahead of him thanks to "enhancement", there is no guarantee that Aizen will be able to catch up with him in the future.

After all, Aizen and Loki are not the same.

Loki's entry into the realm of "Rules" was unexpected, but at least he didn't hide himself. As for Aizen, if it weren't for the reward from the last transmigrator mission, who would have thought that he was so close to entering the realm of "Rules" without even realizing it?
The activation of the [Enlightenment Function] and Aizen's description of the function undoubtedly prove its power.

Although we don't know how many points Aizen had stored up before, or how many he used up during the experience, none of that matters. What matters is how much his strength improved after experiencing this feature.

Fifth Division Captain: "Promotion?"

Aizen seemed to find the question somewhat amusing. He chuckled softly but did not directly answer with a specific number or feeling.

Fifth Division Captain: "Marquis, your question seems to be somewhat limited to the level of 'strength'."

Fifth Division Captain: "What [Enlightenment] brings is not simply an increase in energy or a boost in destructive power, at least not for me."

Fifth Division Captain: "It's more like a 'calibration' and 'expansion' of our understanding of the world."

Fifth Division Captain: "If we have to quantify it, perhaps my control over spiritual pressure has increased by several percentage points, my understanding of the various abilities I have acquired in the past has reached an unprecedented level, and many research bottlenecks have been broken through."

Fifth Division Captain: "But more importantly, it pointed me in the direction of how to 'acquire power' more efficiently, and which world systems in the chat group have powers that are compatible with the path I am on and can be integrated into the system I am training."

Fifth Division Captain: "The long-term value of this improvement in 'understanding' far outweighs the temporary surge in power."

The [Enlightenment Function] and [Enhancement Function] are the most common in this respect.

Although the most important aspect of the [Enhancement Function] is not the increase in strength, but the improvement of the enhanced object, the enhancement range of the [Enhancement Function] is too large, often dozens of times.

Even without focusing on improving one's strength, one's strength will still improve.

However, while the [Enlightenment Function] did bring an increase in strength, it also allowed Aizen to see the "future".

Therefore, for Aizen, the most important function of the [Enlightenment Function] lies in "enlightenment" rather than simply increasing strength.

However, to the Marquis of Voban, these words sounded more like a perfunctory and cover-up!
Calibration? Capacity expansion? Cognition?

Marquis Voban frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

This guy is just being mysterious again!

He simply did not believe that Aizen had only gained some vague "cognitive" improvement after investing the points; given Aizen's personality, he would never have shown such an obvious desire for points without a real and significant benefit.

Was he concealing the true gains? Or was the potential increase in strength brought about by this improvement in "cognition" far more terrifying than he casually mentioned?
Either possibility made Voban feel uneasy.

Aizen was already incredibly powerful, and now he possesses the [Enlightenment Ability], a method that can reliably enhance his strength.
The oldest god-slayer: "Hmph, all that's just nonsense."

The oldest god-slayer: "I hope your 'knowledge' is enough to support your power."

After saying that, Marquis Voban's avatar went dark, clearly too lazy to engage in any more witty banter with Aizen, and focusing more on accumulating points.

There was no other way. Although he had quite a few points now, in order to have a truly stable channel for acquiring points in the future, he also had to accelerate the technological progress of various civilizations on Earth.

These points are the necessary expenditure.

Therefore, he cannot use either the [Enhancement Function] or the [Enlightenment Function] for the time being, unless he can randomly encounter a new civilization with a highly developed civilization or a civilization with a cultivation system.

Only in this way can he obtain a large number of points at once to satisfy his consumption of using the two functions.

And this is something he also needs to do.

Therefore, he can no longer spend time in the chat group and must complete the task as soon as possible.

Aizen watched Marquis Voban log off and simply smiled.

What difference does it make whether or not it's concealed?

He didn't believe the Marquis wouldn't try using the [Enlightenment Function] in the future.

When the time comes, you will naturally understand what he meant.
