The sacred staff helped bear the brunt of the pressure, easing the strain on his body and mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Alan observed the way mana circulated within the staff, he began to glean new insights—fresh comprehension of mana manipulation took root in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when both Mana Compression and mana Overpressure reached their peaks, Alan suddenly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint golden glint shimmered from his pupils, echoing the radiance emanating from the blade of Lumen Sancta.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, there was no trace of confusion in his gaze, no madness, no turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his eyes, two rotating six-pointed star arrays shimmered in radiant prismatic hues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding dark elements, so oppressive before, now retreated like receding tides. They withdrew, as though instinctively acknowledging the birth of a new monarch—the sovereign of both mana and elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just the act of releasing it has already distorted reality… This kid... never ceases to surprise me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man—Jacob—couldn't help but smile bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he had planned to carefully walk Alan through the structure and operation of Mana Compression, step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could've imagined that, after a mere theoretical explanation, Alan would forgo all demonstration and independently devise an original method of compression—one completely unique to himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of talent was beyond anything those spoon-fed academy students—who only knew how to recite passages from The Theory of Magic—could hope to match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob was now convinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan wasn't merely gifted. No—genius was too mild a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be this deeply attuned to both mana and elements at such a young age… he was a monster, plain and simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob ran a quick estimate. Now that Alan had grasped Mana Compression, his internal mana manipulation had already exceeded the level of most tier-gold magi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's more, these new insights fed directly back into his mana Overpressure and every other skill he wielded that relied on mana and elemental foundations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, his overall magus class proficiency had leapt forward by a considerable margin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from the totality of his capabilities, Alan's current strength could rival multiple tier-platinum mages in concert. The only bottleneck left was his innate mana reserves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even that limitation would soon become irrelevant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Alan prepared to retract his Mana Compression and mana Overpressure, a mysterious energy within his body began to stir violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the chaotic Originmana—leftover fragments from the many staffs he'd absorbed previously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, fearing they might interfere with his advancement, Alan had ordered Lumen Sancta to purge them from his system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or at least, that's what he'd told himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, he never discarded those fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd buried them deep within the staff's core, thinking that maybe, one day, they would serve a purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that day was now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Lumen Sancta had compressed mana with such intensity, those hidden remnants had been forced to the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alan no longer feared them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Mana Compression firmly under his control, even the most volatile mana would bow to his will like a docile rabbit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the moment, Alan merged his own mana with the chaotic Originmana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in that instant, an overwhelming mana fluctuation burst outward from his body, shaking the void-like space around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob wiped the sweat from his brow and clutched his chest. \"Damn it… don't tell me this brat is going to break through right here?! This is insane…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in his youth, Jacob had also been hailed as a prodigy among his peers. He'd spent nearly every waking moment—aside from sleep—researching mana and magical theory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to that dedication, he was awarded the title of Grand Mage of Kent Kingdom before the age of thirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet… even with all that under his belt, he couldn't help but feel inadequate standing next to Alan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who the hell else mastered six elemental affinities, learned mana Overpressure, and created a functional variant of Mana Compression—all before the age of twenty-two?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob had devoted half his life to researching Mana Compression, only achieving success in his fifties. But Alan? Alan's understanding of the technique already surpassed that of its creator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that Alan wasn't just capable of using it—he was incapable of failing when performing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't clear how long had passed before Alan finally withdrew his mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The compressed forces dissipated, and Mana Compression and mana Overpressure faded into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darkness once again crept through the space around them, as if everything that had happened was just an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the difference was clear to Jacob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That seamless retraction—so smooth, so controlled—was the mark of someone truly masterful at mana manipulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob stood beside him, his breath still a bit unsteady, watching Alan with caution and admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew clearly—when Alan had first entered this place, he was only a bit past the tier-silver threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after that sequence of training and breakthroughs, Alan had climbed to the very limits of tier-silver. He was just half a step away from ascending to tier-gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, for some reason, right at the final moment—just as mana overflowed within him—Alan had deliberately cut it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why… why didn't you push forward and break through to tier-gold?\" Jacob couldn't help but ask aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan chuckled softly and waved a hand. \"No rush. The journey must be walked one step at a time. You can't swallow a meal in one bite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I force a breakthrough now, it'd be like building a skyscraper on unstable foundations. It might stand tall at first, but one day, those unaddressed flaws will catch up and tear everything down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the moment Jacob truly conceded—from the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This young man… wasn't just talented. He was grounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not grow arrogant with power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not feel ashamed of his lower rank, nor did he scramble to make up for it with shortcuts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, Alan understood something that even many veteran mages failed to grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That rushing forward wasn't the same as progressing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Jacob himself had nearly intervened a moment ago, almost pushing Alan to make the jump to tier-gold. That was how seductive power could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alan resisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He resisted easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That level of restraint—that mental fortitude—was the sign of someone destined for greatness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you. Truly,\" Alan said, after smoothing his mana flow. He gave a respectful bow toward Jacob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob waved it off quickly. \"There's no need to thank me. All I did was explain a bit of theory. Everything you've achieved—you earned it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan didn't let pride cloud his sincerity. \"Even so, without your theoretical guidance, I might have wasted ten more years fumbling around in the dark. Please accept my gratitude. And I haven't forgotten what I promised you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with a junior who was not only outrageously talented but also humble and courteous, Jacob couldn't hold back his grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed his hands awkwardly. \"Alright, alright. Since you insist, I'll accept that 'senior' title. But let me remind you of one last thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You may not have advanced to tier-gold today—but your strength is already on par with gold-tier mages.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In fact, some of them who've slacked off in their training may already be weaker than you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And when the day comes that you truly cross that threshold…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob's eyes sparkled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can say with confidence—within your tier, you will have no equal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1250,"2026-06-06T15:56:34.301Z",1,"novelbin.me","6696feda0b5b6055e593ee411f5f4431ba4ddf6b47248a0bc5bf16c9c7fd407e","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-667","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-665",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
