Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1305 Variables Aren't So Appealing

The land of China is boundless and limitless.

Looking down from the dome, the entire land of China resembles a coiled strand of hair, with mountains and rivers stretching outwards, one end hidden within and the other protruding outwards.

A prominent corner, stretching straight into the vast sea.

It is a towering cliff that stands at the very top of the sky. If you are on the top of the cliff, you can see the clouds rolling and unfolding above, and the tides rising and falling below, with the sea and sky blending into one color.

"incredible"

Standing atop the cliff, Lü Yang gazed upon this vast world, a world of round sky and square earth, its scale equivalent to a boundless sea of ​​light, and beyond description even of a boundary sky.

Only then did he straighten his fingers and release his grip on the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] panel. Just as Si Chong activated the [Heavenly Book], if he hadn't suppressed the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes]'s outburst with all his might, that page would have been taken back by the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes].

This is a pleasant surprise.

Lü Yang clicked his tongue in amazement, looking at the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] panel in front of him. After refining his primordial spirit, his connection with this extraordinary treasure seemed to have become even deeper.

They were able to capture the panel.

In the past, the uprising of the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes would have been something he couldn't have stopped, and the First Saint would have surely discovered the clues. However, this time he did not.

In that instant, Lü Yang had a sudden inspiration:
'As my rank increases, so does my access to the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes]. In time, this extraordinary treasure will hold no secrets from me.'

Just then, a soft laugh rang out:
"What are you thinking, fellow Daoist?"

Lu Yang was not surprised to hear this. He turned around, looked at the slightly illusory figure, let out a long sigh, and replied, "I was thinking about your safety, senior."

"I am relieved that you are alright, senior."

The visitor was none other than Si Chong.

However, unlike before, Si Chong now appears to be unharmed, but he has already abandoned his physical body, leaving only a wisp of his primordial spirit remaining.

That being said, his primordial spirit and status were too high, so much so that even a single thought of his still brought a tremendous sense of oppression to Lü Yang. Lü Yang even suspected that even with just a single thought, Si Chong could easily suppress him at this moment.

"Hahaha."

Si Chong laughed loudly upon hearing this, then pointed at Lü Yang: "The First Sage was right after all. You know how to choose words that make people feel comfortable."

"You flatter me, you flatter me."

Lu Yang scratched his head with a seemingly innocent expression, but he quickly regained his seriousness and asked solemnly, "May I ask, senior, what exactly did you just do?"

He didn't understand.

At first glance, Si Chong seems to have simply used the lost page of the "Book of a Hundred Generations" to open up a new world, but it seems to be more than that.

Because the Dao Lords, led by the First Saint, disappeared after the creation of the new world, he waited patiently for a while, but they did not come to kill him again. This was undoubtedly strange. Everything seemed so calm and peaceful, as if the calamity had already passed.

"It's actually nothing."

Si Chong shook his head upon hearing this: "I did not resolve everything. The initial saint's power is already established. I tried my best, but I only ended up with a draw."

Yes, neither winning nor losing.

He did not win because the First Saint was still intact, the Dao Lord still existed, and no one except Du Xuan had died, so he still held an absolute advantage.

However, he did not lose, because he successfully broke the primordial saint's "destiny" and overturned the chessboard that he had set up for 129,600 years.

"Come, fellow Daoist, take a look."

Si Chong walked to Lü Yang's side, gently tapped Lü Yang's brow with a ruler, then pointed at him. Lü Yang looked in that direction and suddenly felt enlightened.

What came into view was the outer side of the new world, a blazing white color surging like waves. It was the empty shell of the sea of ​​light, having lost its boundary, its life, its matter and spirit. At this moment, the sea of ​​light was only filled with the eternal and inextinguishable Yin-Yang light of birth and death.

“This is…” Lu Yang’s gaze narrowed slightly. In his eyes, the new world and the surging sea of ​​light seemed to have formed an extremely delicate, yet incredibly fragile, balance.

"I have already transcended this state."

Si Chong explained, "With my own body, the new world I finally created naturally possesses the essence of 'transcendence,' and not just anyone can come here to fight their way through."

"My original idea was to take this new world with me, use my 'transcendence' nature to completely disappear into the void, and leave the Sea of ​​Light behind, so that the First Saint would regret it while holding onto the empty shell of the Sea of ​​Light. However, the First Saint reacted quickly and used the Sea of ​​Light to trap the new world I created in place."

"Both I and the New World have transcended the Sea of ​​Light."

"The reason why the First Saint used the Sea of ​​Light to control me was to weaken my [transcendence] essence and gradually pull the new world I created back into the rule of the Sea of ​​Light."

This is how the situation came about.

"Right now, because the new world has just been opened up and the essence of [transcendence] is intact, they can only look, not actually reach this place."

"However, as time goes by, this already fragile balance will be broken, and the situation will tend to favor the side with more sophisticated methods and greater strength."

"Of course, it won't be now. It will be at least several thousand years, or even tens of thousands of years later. After all, I have emptied the Sea of ​​Light, overturned the chessboard, and the First Saint himself has been severely injured. The [Destiny] imagery has been severely damaged, and he may not even be able to maintain his status as a Nascent Soul Dao Lord."

"Really!?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang immediately understood.

'The initial saint was able to return to the position of Dao Lord because, on the one hand, he relied on the Refining Secret Realm to fill the fragments of the [Other Shore], and on the other hand, he was already severely injured.'

When the fixed order is incomplete, change occurs.

Lu Yang had long suspected that this "the less health, the stronger strength" mechanism had its limits, and now it seemed that he had reached his limit.

'Once this limit is broken, the profound mystery of "the fixed order is flawed, and thus change arises" immediately collapses. And simply absorbing the fragments of the "Other Shore" from the Refining Technique Secret Realm is insufficient for him to maintain his position as a Nascent Soul Dao Master. In other words, isn't now a golden opportunity to kick a man when he's down?'

For a moment, Lü Yang felt a surge of excitement.

However, he quickly regained his composure when he looked at Si Chong.

Even though they have fallen from the position of Nascent Soul Dao Master, the current First Saint is not someone they can handle. Only if Si Chong takes action will they have an overwhelming advantage.

However, what about Si Chong, who severely injured the First Saint?

How much better can he be?

"Don't worry."

Seemingly seeing through Lü Yang's thoughts, Si Chong smiled and said, "It's just that my Dharma body has perished, but I still have a wisp of my primordial spirit, and its position has not changed."

"After all, I'm self-taught, so I'm a little different from other people."

"So if it really comes down to violence, I can do it."

At this point, Si Chong also seemed somewhat helpless:

“But once I make a move, it will be the First Saint who will be trapped in a dead end. And you should also know that within the Sea of ​​Light, everything has a glimmer of hope.”

【variable】!
Upon hearing this, Lü Yang was speechless for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "Senior means that if we take action now, the [Variable] will help the Initial Saint?"

"Yes."

Isn't this just stirring up trouble?

Lu Yang was completely speechless. He felt that the seemingly kind and approachable "variable" had suddenly become unappealing and even repulsive.
