1. Power System: Awakenings and Abilities
In this world, individuals can awaken unique abilities, classified into three major categories:
A. Elemental Awakenings
Abilities tied to the forces of nature. These are common among high-ranking combatants.
Fire Manipulation – Pyrokinesis, combustion enhancement.
Water Manipulation – Hydrokinesis, ice creation.
Earth Manipulation – Stone armor, seismic force.
Wind Manipulation – Aerokinesis, speed enhancement.
Lightning Manipulation – Electrokinesis, plasma generation.
Advanced users can combine elements (e.g., fire + wind = inferno manipulation).
B. Physical Enhancements
Abilities that boost the body's capabilities beyond human limits.
Super Strength – Enhanced force, destruction resistance.
Super Speed – Faster reflexes, short-range teleportation.
Regeneration – Rapid healing, limb restoration.
Enhanced Senses – Heightened vision, hearing, and danger perception.
These awakenings are common among warriors and frontline fighters.
C. Unique Abilities
Rare awakenings that do not fit into standard categories. These are often one-of-a-kind powers that defy logic.
Spatial Manipulation – Warping, pocket dimensions.
Time Acceleration – Speeding up personal time perception.
Mental Domination – Illusions, mind-reading.
Energy Absorption – Draining magic from attacks.
Su Chen's Unlimited Mana falls into this category, making him an anomaly in the power system.

2. Divinity and the Gods
A. Divine Beings and Their Hierarchy
Gods are not all equal. They have rankings based on power and influence:
1. Lesser Gods – Newly ascended deities with minimal authority.
2. Intermediate Gods – Commanding divine energy, capable of destroying cities.
3. Greater Gods – War gods, creation gods, or destruction entities who shape worlds.
4. Ancient Gods – The oldest, most powerful entities, capable of rewriting reality.
B. How to Kill a God
Gods cannot be killed by normal means. Only beings who have slain 10 gods can attain divinity themselves.
Divine energy must be overpowered and shattered, which requires extreme force, anti-divine weapons, or forbidden magic.
Su Chen's forbidden spells and unlimited mana make him humanity's greatest hope.
C. The Good vs. Evil Gods
Some gods want to help humanity, offering knowledge, blessings, or combat support.

3. The Cult and Their Purpose
The Cult of Divine Submission worships the gods and actively prepares for their arrival.
They believe humanity is unworthy of free will and should serve as divine servants.
The cult's hidden research revealed a method to suppress gods, but they were unaware that Su Chen's unlimited mana contains this ability—it must be unlocked after killing 100 gods.
The cult is powerful but will be eradicated within two months, delaying the gods' arrival phases.

4. The Awakening Process
A. Normal Awakening
People awaken abilities naturally or through life-threatening situations.
The Academy System trains new awakeners and prepares them for battle.
B. Su Chen's Special Awakening Method
He personally awakens and trains those he trusts, allowing them to achieve faster, stronger awakenings.
Others must go through academies and regular training.
Su Chen plans to build a nation of powerhouses to stand against the gods.

He prepares for a press conference where he will prove his strength to the world's higher-ups.
Phase 2: Cult Eradication (First Month)
He exposes the Cult of Divine Submission and eliminates their influence.
The cult's destruction delays all god phases, forcing them to descend all at once later.
Phase 3: Training and Awakening (Second Month)
He begins training trusted individuals, helping them achieve powerful awakenings.
The academy system prepares others to face the gods.
Phase 4: The First War (Gods Descend)
The weakest gods arrive first.
Humanity fights back.
Su Chen starts his mission to exterminate all divine beings.

Final Notes
Su Chen is the only powerhouse at the start, but he will build an army.
The gods must conquer Blue Star or they will die, forcing them into conflict.
Full-scale wars will break out as the gods see humanity as inferior.
Su Chen's forbidden spells are only dangerous to enemies, unlike in his past life.
His loyal followers will remain devoted after he helps them gain divinity.
This is just the beginning.
