[After catching the word "consciousness" in the void deep within your mind that time, you decisively suspended your forced exploration of Phantom Parade's Domain Expansion.]
[Your absolutely rational mind had reached a clear conclusion: what you lacked at this point was no longer vast reserves of Cursed Energy or further refinement of your precision with your Cursed Technique, but an "opportunity" capable of triggering a qualitative change.]
[Until the right moment arrived, one that could bring you complete enlightenment, any blind attempt would only waste your mental energy.]
[Since the path of forward deduction was temporarily blocked, you turned your attention to another seemingly viable shortcut: since the essence of Phantom Parade was perfect replication, could you directly replicate existing Cursed Techniques and use reverse engineering as a "shortcut" to forcibly master their corresponding Domain Expansions?]
[However, when you worked through the practical details of this plan in your mind, you reluctantly discovered that this path was equally thorny, and even harder than achieving enlightenment yourself.]
[Among the many Cursed Techniques you had encountered and could successfully copy, there were only two whose users you knew for certain were destined to possess Domain Expansions in the future: Satoru Gojo's Limitless and Kinji Hakari's Pachinko Manifestation.]
[To start with the former, Satoru Gojo's divinely precise and complex Limitless, merely gaining a relatively proficient grasp of its basic applications without the Six Eyes' assistance had cost you the long years of several simulations and an enormous amount of trial and error.]
[Even at your current level, relying on the physical stability provided by Forever Seventeen and the progress you accumulated day after day like an overachiever, an almost insurmountable gulf still separated you from Satoru Gojo, who truly possessed the Six Eyes, in both fine control and endurance with Limitless, let alone
