Chapter 1161 The Joy of Causality

On that [Ice Mist Snow Island].

Through the effects of the [Heavenly Torrent], one can silently feel the immense torrent of cause and effect, formed by countless acts of bloodshed, pain, power, and strength.

Just like a plant that is constantly being irrigated and nourished.

Ling Wuyuan felt that he was constantly absorbing nutrients from various sources to promote his growth.

This situation made him realize once again that the "Heavenly Torrent" was actually an ability to continuously grow stronger by manipulating and influencing all living beings...

but.

Even so.

Even if the [Heavenly Torrent] gains various benefits due to external turmoil.

However, the real reason why he did not choose to take action himself to quickly quell the situation, or let Yan Manyan and others suppress the various forces, was still not because he wanted to engage in cannibalism or play some kind of causal absorption game, intending to absorb more causal laws by causing a massive upheaval.

after all.

to him.

Even when peacefully ruling, he can still draw upon the law of cause and effect.

The turmoil is merely a temporary increase in efficiency through short-sighted measures.

The real reason that prompted him to choose to remain a bystander was simply because he knew very well that the establishment of great things often requires bloodshed, sacrifice, suffering, and... enlightenment.

He is very clear.

Something easily obtained.

They are often not appreciated.

This is one of the inherent weaknesses of living things.

For example, peace and stability that come easily are typical examples.

Moreover, just as he wanted to know the determination and loyalty of his subordinates.

Those guys who actively sought him out.

They also need a suitable opportunity to demonstrate their determination and loyalty.

The whole thing was never one-way, but rather two-way.

Therefore, as the future super power that will unify the surrounding [domains], [Snow Moon Cloud Pavilion] needs to wait until everyone feels the pain and torment, and until each subordinate has achieved some respectable results, before it can justifiably take action, suppressing everyone with absolute force and rescuing all the unfortunate souls from this sea of ​​suffering...

As for who caused that sea of ​​suffering?
I advise you not to ask...

As for the various sacrifices that have already occurred?
Ling Wuyuan's contribution was only a drop in the ocean.

after all.

The surrounding areas are all quite large.

Even assuming the most favorable scenario, it would still take at least several decades for the Snow Moon Cloud Pavilion to initially eliminate all overt resistance forces and largely unify the surrounding domains!

To completely integrate the surrounding domains and make them a unified whole would be an extremely long process!
no way.

The territory is indeed that large.

and.

Not only do the lives on Earth need to be managed, but the floating islands in the sky, or the winged alien races, and the various marine intelligent races living in the vast ocean are also targets that need to be managed by the Snow Moon Cloud Pavilion. This directly increases the actual management difficulty of related matters to another level.

be honest.

Right now.

Just thinking about how he now needs to plan various matters on a yearly basis gives Wu Yuan a feeling of how much time has passed...

Once upon a time.

Time units like [year].

In his mind, it was still a long time.

but now.

As time goes by and more things are experienced, the unit of time, the "year," is gradually approaching the former "month" in Ling Wuyuan's concept of time.

Moreover, it is entirely foreseeable that in the not-too-distant future, as he becomes more accustomed to his identity as an immortal and his concept of time.

Even if it's a long period of thirty or fifty years.

In his eyes.

They will gradually become no different from three to five minutes.

Ultimately, one reaches a point where one can sit idly by and watch the sea dry up, the rocks crumble, and the mountains and seas shift, treating it all as if one is merely taking a short rest.

This is not only an inevitable process of transitioning from short-lived species with a lifespan of only a hundred years to long-lived species with a lifespan of countless millions or billions of years, but also a fundamental change in the continuous evolution of mortals towards living saints...

In short.

At this moment.

Even though the turmoil in the outside world had been going on for some time, and countless lives had been caught up in it, creating a scene of utter devastation, in Ling Wuyuan's view...

The whole thing is just getting started.

It doesn't matter who it is.

It was still his subordinates.

Neither side wanted things to end there.

There are reasons to keep things going.

Only the weak and powerless hope that things will end soon.

but……

For the weak.

Most of them were already living a life of unbearable hardship.

The current situation is, at best, adding fuel to the fire.

In this regard.

Ling Wuyuan felt no guilt whatsoever, only that it was perfectly natural.

The strong are willful, the weak accept their fate.

Whether in the main timeline or on Earth, these are the most basic operating rules.

Throughout the ages.

Various races and regions.

Weak.

They are all consumables.

It will be quickly consumed by the various desires and actions of the strong.

Therefore, Ling Wuyuan felt that these guys were all worthy of dying for their ambitions and goals.

If you disagree.

Then let's rebel.

Whoever wins is right.

There are no extra rules for the whole thing.

This is the absolute truth that might makes right.

Other than that.

Based on the principle of causality, there is no reason why things should not be wasted.

Facing those who died and suffered various consequences due to their own plans.

Ling Wuyuan also decisively chose to use the [Heavenly Torrent] to remotely guide and harvest the causal laws related to himself.

This situation is a side practice of the cause-and-effect inhalation exercise.

They treat each affected person like a leek to be harvested remotely...

For every target who dies because of him or suffers a corresponding impact because of him, he can reap some corresponding benefits.

This fully demonstrates that although he did not directly engage in cannibalism, or the kind of trick where he grabs an opponent, instantly refines them, and turns them into a pill, he still managed to achieve his goal.

But in essence...

His behavior wasn't much better; it was still the absolute law of the jungle.

Especially when abilities such as [Heavenly Mandate], [Comprehensive Understanding of All Things], and [The Strong Get Stronger] are combined with each other.

While remotely harvesting causality.

Ling Wuyuan also automatically possessed the ability to read the target's causal information to some extent.

This makes him think about those who died because of him.

Given the actual gap in strength, there is a possibility that one can directly and remotely access certain skills or knowledge that the other party has learned or possesses.

to him.

Even if it's due to insufficient strength.

The skills and knowledge he currently acquires remotely are mostly incomplete.

However, in the case of small accumulations, the total can be significant.

That will inevitably bring him many unexpected gains.

This literally means drawing on the strengths of many, treating the masses as one's own tonic and fully automatic learning machine...
