All laws are treacherous, I am the Spirit Lord

Chapter 464 The Master of Parasites and the Master of Voyeurism

Unlike the Crimson Tyrant, the Overlords were not blindly foolish. Even without Li Yu's interference, and even across layers of dimensional universes, they could still see through the Chaos Humans' "clumsy" schemes.

But the reason they made such a quick decision to use the Scarlet Tyrant and the Golden Throne as "bait" to create a trap was to capture Li Yu.

This is the effect of Li Yu's authority on truth.

At this moment, he was like a careful weaver, and every calculation in front of him was not the ultimate goal.

One by one!
If any link in the chain goes wrong, the plan will fail.

If it weren't for his "soul of truth," Li Yu would have given up long ago.

Putting everything else aside, just confirming whether there are still hidden masters or hidden forces lurking behind the scenes is something that no one but Li Yu could do.

Even Li Yu, who was considered to have extraordinary abilities, still couldn't guarantee that his plans would succeed.

It's not too difficult to deceive a ruler.

But a group?
The difficulty can be imagined.

Fortunately, this time it miraculously succeeded.

Under Li Yu's "blessing" and "watchful gaze," the hidden rulers reached a consensus in an instant.

While the Crimson Tyrant was being misled by the artifact, the Golden Throne, and the power of human faith attached to it, they all attacked at once.

If it were simply a matter of helping the treacherous humans capture the Crimson Tyrant, there would be no need for all the Overlords to work together; any one of them could have done it.

After all, that artifact was a cage. All the rulers had to do was reinforce the forbidden laws and distort the tyrant's perception so that he would willingly sit on it.

But now, the real target is Li Yu.

The tyrant was merely bait.

The reason the rulers acted together was to ensure they wouldn't be left behind by their accomplices.

Ever since!
The Crimson Tyrant has met his end.

Although He could not possibly escape the machinations behind the scenes, so many sovereigns suddenly appeared and, without His knowledge, thoroughly desecrated Him.

A powerful entity that is about to reach the level of a powerful god, a split individual of the Devourer of All Realms.

He was instantly turned into a puppet.

Amidst the prayers of the powerful humans led by the Humanitarian Cult, it obediently ascended step by step to the magnificent yet extremely treacherous golden throne.

When He officially took his seat, all the humans in the room cheered and laughed because their conspiracy had succeeded.

And immediately invoke the forbidden magic and the extremely powerful faith and willpower above.

This elevates the emperor, along with his throne, to the realm of destiny.

We will summon Him again when needed.

On the surface, it seems that humanity has won.

They actually managed to "capture" a powerful god with the potential to become a ruler, and lost themselves in the process, about to dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to the human race.

With such an emperor, one can imagine how much the fate of the human race would change.

But in secret, the gods won.

No one can imagine how many tricks and embellishments are hidden within that "Crimson Tyrant disguised as an Emperor" and the "Golden Throne."

Furthermore, the rulers have learned from the previous incident where their attempt to add the ingredients failed, Li Yu discovered their scheme, and they stole the Chaos Egg in public. This time, their actions are even more subtle and bizarre.

However, it was obviously a waste of time.

Because right now!

Li Yu witnessed it firsthand.

He remained silent and made no move.

Because the "busyness" of the rulers is far from over.

The realm of destiny is incredibly mysterious.

Even a dominant entity can only spy on things in a targeted way, and cannot actually descend into this conceptual dimension.

However, if something is added beforehand, it's different. As long as the ruler has the relevant authority and supernatural powers, they can enter that dimension in a wonderfully mysterious way and perform other operations.

For example, right now, within Li Yu's Eye of Truth, one absurd, even somewhat comical, message after another is appearing:
"The Lord of the Veil descended upon the destiny of humanity... Through the power of narrative, He discovered the secrets of the other rulers and injected a seed of narrative reversal deep within the core of all these secrets: that no matter whose methods are superior, He will become the sole actor playing the role of the 'final winner'."

"After the curtain fell, the Foolish God came to the dimension of human destiny. He used his magic to 'fool' all the rulers, retaining only the secrets he himself left behind."

"When He made His move, so did the myriad changes, but His target was the entire human race. He began to weave the destiny of the human race."

"The Lord in Yellow has also returned, and is quietly imprinting His 'Yellow Seal' on the Golden Throne, the Crimson Tyrant, the fate of humanity... in every corner."

"The Ancient Saint was primarily targeting the Crimson Tyrant. He activated the power of transformation... He would be aware of any changes that occurred in the Tyrant."

"The Lord of Calamity, the Upside-Down Ruler..."

……

Even now, Li Yu can't help but laugh when he sees this information and the corresponding images.

what is this?
Infinite nesting dolls?

The Emperor Chaos Egg that Li Yu stole earlier was already outrageous.

The amount of stuff that the ruler adds is frighteningly large.

A perfectly good Chaos Egg has been almost completely stuffed with the personal agendas of the rulers.

What we see now is even more insane.

Whether it's the human race's fortune as the venue, the Golden Throne, or the Crimson Tyrant, everything is already packed to the brim.

Li Yu was very skeptical; was there still a clean place?
At the same time, I was also extremely frightened.

Because if Li Yu closes the Eye of Truth...

Whether he uses imperial authority or the primordial divine power of a true immortal... to explore and perceive.

There will only be one outcome: nothing will be gained.

This comparison!

It's really terrifying.

The difference is like this: with the lights on, it's a room full of garbage; with the lights off, it's empty and spotless.

This is the difficulty of deceiving a group of rulers.

Li Yu is now certain that even if the Spirit Lord were to come, or if He truly had a reincarnated form, He would still fail if he were to attempt such a thing, and would instead be tricked by the rulers.

There are just too many old silver coins inside the sovereign-level divine entity.

Aside from the usual few who make appearances.

Afterwards, Li Yu also glimpsed several more obscure, more mysterious, and previously unseen rulers.

These individuals were not even involved in the agreement between the rulers; it seems they gleaned it through some secret method and then took the opportunity to sabotage it.

Apart from themselves, no other sovereign could discover them at all.

Unfortunately, he still couldn't escape Li Yu's Eye of Truth's gaze:
"The master of parasites!"

“An incredibly mysterious, supreme entity from the abyss universe, who wields the authority of ‘parasitism,’ meaning that He can parasitize everything. Living beings and inanimate objects are merely the foundation; planes, universes, other divine entities, and so on are all within His parasitic scope. His divinity reveres anonymity and humility; He is almost unknown to the gods.”

"He originally resided within the body of the Devourer of All Realms, but was attracted by the commotion here, so he separated a part of his limbs and parasitized the body of the Crimson Tyrant."

"As the rulers added ingredients in succession, He also laid an egg among all the means."

"His eggs are extremely infectious, and even the gods are not immune once infected." "However, the Parasite Lord cannot be considered a true evil god. He does not pursue any destructive end. He simply infects and parasitizes continuously, even if he can use this heaven-defying authority to infect a large number of multiverses in the entire boundless spirit world."

"But He did not; He simply absorbed enough nutrients to sustain His own existence."

"When it reaches a certain point, it will die on its own and split into countless parasitic eggs to reincarnate."

"In short, He is a 'parasite' within the entire boundless spirit world."

"It's eerie, terrifying, and disgusting, but the harm it causes isn't that great."

……

"The Secret Wise Man!"

“A supreme divine entity from the void universe, whose mystery is no less than that of the Parasite Lord, wielding the two great powers of ‘secrecy’ and ‘wisdom’, which allows Him to deceive other gods of the same level.”

"His divinity is somewhat similar to that of the toad god; he enjoys watching a spectacle."

"But the difference is that He prefers to participate and habitually proves that all the beings and gods in the boundless spirit world are not as intelligent as Him."

"He also likes to collect all kinds of knowledge. He has the most special library in the boundless spirit world. Every book in it was actually written by Him personally."

"He left behind a beacon, enough to watch over everything."

"So, this is a self-proclaimed genius with unparalleled wisdom, who enjoys spying, keeping a diary, and witnessing events, but is too afraid to show himself for fear of being discovered—a lewd and eccentric genius?"

……

When these two secrets came to light, Li Yu couldn't help but feel alarmed.

The boundless spirit world was constantly redefining Li Yu's understanding.

Whenever he thought that he was strong enough and knowledgeable enough, he would...

New surprises and secrets will emerge.

Despite what it looks like!
The two newly introduced rulers, the Parasite Lord and the Hidden Wise Man, are not skilled in combat.

But their strangeness is undeniable.

Based solely on the information provided by the two of them, Li Yu's eyes once again flashed with countless rainbow lights, and the progress accelerated, with the forty-eighth bubble nearing completion.

Seeing this, Li Yu was also somewhat pleased.

He's already reaping a lot just by watching.

"Any ingredient added by a ruler, or any secret technique left behind, has considerable value."

"I can not only peek into and digest more secrets through touch, but I can also steal them silently."

"The forty-eighth truth bubble is not far from being fully charged."

Although Li Yu had such a firm belief in his mind.

However, he still did not make a move.

It's not that I'm unwilling, but that there's nothing I can do for the time being.

Because deep within his soul, he asked himself a question:
"How can we avoid being tricked by the methods left behind by these rulers and instead deceive them?"

It's just this one question.

Therefore, the answers that burst forth, the clusters of information, directly overwhelmed Li Yu.

Without him!

Too much.

This time, the complexity is incomparable to the previous theft of the Emperor's Egg.

Because the rulers didn't just add more secretive and terrifying ingredients than before, they added them in a chain reaction, creating an endless nested effect.

This means that at this moment, there is an incredibly huge, complex, and chaotic "ball of threads" in front of Li Yu, with each thread connecting to more than one ruler.

What Li Yu had to do was to unravel it without alerting any of the rulers.

This was completely beyond Li Yu's expectations before he took action!
His blessing upon the rulers seems to have gone a bit too far.

He simply wanted the rulers to choose to capture him using traps and bait, and then he would be caught in the dark.

As a result, this trap is now too big, too complicated, and too sensitive.

This left Li Yu unsure how to utilize it.

Even with the current power of this bubble of truth, it seems unlikely to unravel in the short term.

In fact!
After asking questions, it took him a long time to get a definite answer: "By consuming two more Truth Bubbles, all of them can be defused. After killing the Crimson Tyrant and taking his place, the logical loop can still be completed, successfully deceiving every ruler."

The good news is, he actually can do it.

The bad news is that the cost is too high for him to accept.

Including the one currently in operation, he does indeed have two more in reserve.

But spending all of it on this is far too extravagant.

Fortunately, Li Yu never got stuck on trivial matters.

Since the "perfect solution" comes at too high a cost.

Then he would do the next best thing.

With a sudden shift in his mind, he once again inquired, "Is there a way to exploit the Crimson Tyrant with minimal cost and achieve my desired goals, such as the rise of humanity?"

This time, before long, some unexpected answers emerged.

"Do the opposite!"

“I can disguise myself as another mysterious ruler, and pretend to be interested, to add something to the Crimson Tyrant, the Golden Throne, and the entire human race.”

"But the effect will be the opposite. I will deliberately make the Crimson Tyrant briefly sober, so that the human race can take advantage of this situation to complete its rise to power."

"And in order to maintain the perfection of the traps and bait, the Overlords will have to step in to maintain them."

“When they conduct targeted investigations, they can also use the [Parasitic Lord] and the [Hidden Wise Man] as shields.”

……

When this flood of information came out, Li Yu couldn't help but laugh.

really!

No matter how chaotic or difficult it may be.

Truth will always find a way.

This plan, while seemingly a rejection of Li Yu's original method, is actually more perfect.

His risk has been further reduced; he no longer needs to personally step into the trap.

And one of his goals—the rise of the human race—is likely to be perfectly achieved.

Even if it's for the sake of "sunk costs," the rulers have no choice but to hold their noses and maintain the trap, so they take the initiative to help.

As for the gods within the chaotic universe who disagree?
That won't help; the human race will actually have more rulers at that time.

The only troublesome thing is the [Chaos Overlord] quest that Li Yu needs to complete later.

He can't keep using the Scarlet Tyrant as a stand-in forever; he has to take the field himself to complete the mission.
