Thanks for the invitation, I just entered the chat group after traveling through Under One Person.

Chapter 165 World Mechanism
Until Chen Long's generation accumulated enough dark energy, the Holy Lord was destined to be resurrected, but was defeated by his father. Then the Dark Energy Father introduced his adopted son, Mask, and then there was Little Dragon.

Ultimately, unless one can defy the very essence of the world, one is bound by the limitations of balancing forces. The balance of Yin and Yang is the principle governing the extraordinary powers of this world.

Righteous energy and dark energy are equal. Once one side becomes stronger, a very powerful figure will emerge from the weaker side.

The Demon Dragon gains the power of the eight demons, which will eventually lead to Shendu defeating the Demon Dragon.

If this father and son were to join forces to rule the world, evil would surge, and the world's rules would begin to take effect. On the side of good, an incredibly powerful mage would emerge, defeating both of them simultaneously.

The great sorcerers of every era understood this principle. On his father's birthday, he did not choose to keep the dog charm for himself, thus preserving his youth and vitality. This was not only due to his own willpower overcoming greed, but also related to this point.

Furthermore, the main characters rarely use talismans, again for this reason. If the main characters, representing the righteous side, are in danger, then the talismans become the power for the righteous to turn the tide. And the one chosen for this turnaround by the righteous side is Xiaoyu, hence the saying "in dire straits, Xiaoyu is the one to rely on."

The final actions of the Archmage Pelosi, resurrected by the Rat Talisman, reveal that he always operated on the principle of maintaining balance. After Pelosi shifted from stillness to movement, it's as if another exceptionally powerful figure has emerged on the side of good, with Father as the core of good and Shendu as the core of evil.

If the righteous side suddenly gains a very powerful archmage, then the evil side will produce an even more powerful demon to balance the righteous side. Therefore, Pero immediately returned the talisman and quickly transformed himself back into a stone statue to prevent the emergence of an even more powerful demon.

My father also cultivates immortal techniques, and it must be said that the cultivation system of the immortal world where Venerable Bai resides is extremely perfect. From the outside to the inside, from body refinement to spiritual energy, from physical body to soul, every important part is cultivated.

He thought he was already an old man and had no future in cultivation, since this chat group didn't have any cultivation rooms or similar features. The old man tried practicing some cultivation techniques and quickly mastered them, almost catching up to the group leader, Cheng Yiyi, who had been cultivating for a long time.

At that moment, Dad looked like he had become ten years younger, as if he were holding a dog charm.

After chatting with the chat group members for a while, the old man roughly understood the reason. It was probably because he was the main bearer of the righteous energy of this generation, and he had a part of the world's original fortune in his body, so his cultivation speed was not affected by age at all.

Just when the old man was about to give up his cultivation, someone in the group spoke up.

Master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion (Fifth Rank, Jiang Mingzi): "The Yin-Yang balance of this world belongs to the origin of the world, while the external opposing balance of righteous and black qi is the manifestation mechanism."

Similar to my world, cause and effect are the fundamental principles of the world. Therefore, in my world, innate supernatural powers based on cause and effect are incredibly powerful. The mechanism by which this fundamental principle of cause and effect manifests is the law of causality. Having studied the law of causality for so many years, I dare say that no one understands its mechanism better than I do.

Tequila Girl (Tier 2, Joe): "Oh? Could you tell me about it?"

The talkative Er Qiao was the perfect straight man in the chat group, able to chime in on any topic.

Master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion (Fifth Rank, Jiang Mingzi): "You all should know that as long as it is a mechanism, it is not a thing with a brain; it is a tool that can be used. And the establishment of a mechanism must be of some benefit to the world itself."

Taking my world as an example, the most abundant element in the world's primordial power is cause and effect. Disrupting this world's cause and effect has the greatest impact on it. Therefore, the law of cause and effect exists to act as a lock, preventing external forces from interfering with causal relationships.

So what we need to consider now is the purpose of the Yin-Yang balance mechanism in Fellow Daoist Chen's world? What do you all think?

The Thousand-Year Crouching Dragon (Tier 3, Zhuge Kongming): "The mechanism... is indeed purposeful. The reincarnation of souls in my world is for harvesting jade. In Fellow Daoist Chen's world, the righteous and the dark energies fight back and forth, sometimes high, sometimes low. Could it also be for harvesting something?" Speaking of the world's mechanics, Zhuge Kongming also had something to say. The reincarnation of civil and military officials after death in their world, constantly fighting each other, is also a mechanism. However, this mechanism is artificially created, and he has the ability to find loopholes.

If the causal law in Jiang Mingzi's world is a mechanism inherent to the world itself, even a supreme being like Jiang Mingzi, with unparalleled supernatural powers throughout history, could only bear the punishment of causality and secretly exploit it. The balance of Yin and Yang is also a world-level mechanism; it's just unknown whether it's similar to causality, existing specifically to maintain a certain order.

Long hair down to the waist (Fourth Rank, White): "Judging from the situation in this world, this state of yin and yang opposition exists after death to elevate the world's level. However, something must have gone wrong halfway through, resulting in failure."

Although Venerable Bai was only at the fourth rank, his eyesight surpassed even Jiang Mingzi's. It could be said that he was second only to Su Yun, who possessed the "Fiery Eyes of Truth" cheat. After analyzing the video for a while, he came to a conclusion.

Venerable Bai shared his thoughts in detail in the chat group. Chen Daolong glanced at them and found them very reasonable. The yin-yang balance in this world is not a static equilibrium, but rather a state where the two forces are roughly equal.

Instead, if the dark energy is stronger than the righteous energy for a period of time, an even stronger entity will emerge on the righteous side, suppressing the dark energy faction. After being suppressed, the dark energy faction will grow stronger again, suppressing the righteous energy once more.

Simply put, when righteous energy is 1, dark energy will be raised to 2. When dark energy becomes 2, righteous energy will increase to 3, and so on, spiraling upwards.

Behind the righteous energy and the dark energy lies the power of the world's origin. The continuous rise of these two forces signifies the continuous strengthening of the world's origin.

Jackie Chan and his team are now facing only one demon, Shendu, and even then, it's just a demon whose consciousness is sealed away, yet it can still command the Shadow Legion and the Mafia.

At its peak, the Dark Qi manifested a scene of eight great demons leading thousands of demon wizards to rule the world. These eight demons were at least third-tier power, and not weak among them. Keep in mind that the current All-Heavens Chat Group can't even muster eight members with third-tier power.

At the height of the darkness, the righteous forces gave them a huge surprise, creating eight immortal gods who completely suppressed the eight demons, and even borrowed the name of the Eight Immortals. However, the group members couldn't say for sure whether these eight immortal gods were projections of the Eight Immortals.

The problem lies with the eight immortal gods. This is why, after reading Venerable White's analysis, the group members suspected that they might just be other powerful beings using the name of the Eight Immortals, and not necessarily projections of the Eight Immortals' power.

The spiraling upward trend of righteous and dark energy was interrupted by the eight immortal gods. These eight immortal gods did not kill the demon, but instead chose to seal it away.

Sealing the demon left a void in the black energy. That wasn't the main problem; a void was fine, righteous energy could fill it. But for some reason, those eight immortal gods suddenly ran away, leaving a void in the righteous energy as well.

This is like a tank of water; once it's poured out, another tank of water will take its place, and the tank will be even bigger. What the immortal gods are doing is like sealing this tank of water away. If they don't use their own tank of water to fill the void, then the power of this world will be exhausted.

If it were a genuine projection of the Eight Immortals' power, it wouldn't be so petty as to forcibly block the enhancement of the world's origin. Of course, the group couldn't rule out the possibility that it really was a projection of the Eight Immortals, but had temporarily left this world due to unforeseen circumstances.

Regardless of the situation, this result led to a precipitous decline in the development of extraordinary powers in this world.

Later, the great sorcerers of each generation discovered the secret of Yin-Yang balance: as long as the dark energy faction is not eliminated, but simply suppressed, and one's own side maintains normalcy, the world will tend towards peace.

Thus, for the sake of world peace, righteous mages throughout history have mostly chosen to seal and suppress enemies of the dark energy faction, completely blocking this link in the spiraling upward mechanism of righteous and dark energy. When Xiaoyu used the Dragon Talisman to destroy the Holy Lord's body, the old man even reprimanded her for this action. This shows that this form of sealing has become a tradition passed down among righteous mages.
