Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 330, 329: More Debt, Less Burden

"Bring extraordinary beings from non-adjacent pathways under your control, and reawaken your spiritual imprint within them?"

Irving had a "Are you kidding me?" look on his face.

For an extraordinary individual on a particular path, there are three sources that can influence them.

One is the spiritual imprint of the previous extraordinary being, originating from the extraordinary characteristics and the demigod level. The reason why demigods are called demigods is because they have transcended the scope of normal creatures and have become half-mythical creatures or complete mythical creatures.

This left their spiritual power within their extraordinary characteristics, forming a spiritual imprint, which may be temporary or long-lasting.

One source is the deities and high-ranking beings to whom this path originates.

The higher the sequence path, the stronger its influence on this path. For example, Nicholas, as the "mistake," and Tang, as the King of Angels, both have the ability to adjust the extraordinary abilities of all sequences under this path, or directly make their voices echo in the ears of extraordinary individuals in this path when their mental values ​​decline as they advance.

Finally, and most importantly, is the influence from the original Creator.

In the early days, the original Creator conceived the Fallen Mother Goddess, who differentiated into multiple personalities such as "Primordial God" and "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun". The vast majority of the extraordinary characteristics existing on this planet today originate from the original Creator, while a small portion originate from other Great Old Ones in the astral plane.

The extraordinary characteristics flowing within all extraordinary beings inevitably bear a trace of the original Creator's spiritual imprint. The only difference between extraordinary beings of different sequences is the strength of this spiritual imprint, and the spiritual imprints of different extraordinary beings belong to different entities.

For example, the original imprint of the three mysterious paths is the Heavenly Venerable of Blessing and Prosperity, the five omniscient and omnipotent paths and the two paths of calamity are the original God, and the moon and the mother are the fallen Mother Goddess...

This is similar to the first type, which is the spiritual imprint left behind by those who once possessed extraordinary characteristics. However, the essential difference between the first and the third type is that the spiritual imprints of the third type, which originate from the original creator, are indelible. They originate from the imprints of the ancient rulers and pillars. Even if the current "Lord of Mysteries"/"God" achieves a temporary victory and defeats the spiritual imprints existing within the extraordinary characteristics, he will inevitably lose to those ancient rulers and former pillars in the eternal course of time.

As for what Tang said about the spiritual imprint reviving within them... unless Tang once contained those extraordinary characteristics, or he was the original creator, otherwise...

Owen paused for a moment.

He quickly connected the dots to what had happened to him.

Yes, his path and Tang's path are not adjacent, but so far, the common problem of those in high positions is that the will of the original creator remaining in their extraordinary characteristics is awakening quite slowly... or rather, it is being suppressed by something.

He is Sequence 1 of the Death Path. The will to be revived, besides the original creator, actually includes the will of the former Death God, Hades Salinger.

"but……"

Irving couldn't help but glance at Tang.

Tang's previous explanation was that he could use the authority of the Mysterious Attendant to balance the subtle connection between the Fusheng Xuanhuang Heavenly Venerable, the original creator's will, and the anchor points. Through the connection of blood, he could graft this connection over, interrupt the revival of the original creator's will within himself, and neutralize the remnants of Salinger's spiritual will...

Irving was already skeptical of his younger brother's simple explanation, and now he was even more doubtful.

The idea of ​​reviving one's spiritual imprint in another's body sounds like possession, and it gives you a sense of dread.

But where did you, a mysterious waiter, learn such skills?
That can't be that cunning, can it?!
"Why are you looking at me like that... I'm not crazy, nor have I been hijacked by the Lord of Mysteries."

Tang Wuyu opened Owen's hand, which was about to pinch his face to confirm whether his younger brother had been possessed by the Lord of Mysteries, while at the same time stabilizing the spiritual threads of the giant feathered serpent that was struggling again not far away.

The number of spirit threads wrapped around Tang's hands increased, and as one small, independent piece of spirit and flesh after another became his puppet, those spirits and flesh that had become his puppets gradually perished along with the surrounding deathly aura.

The spirit thread broke as a result, the puppet died, and was later awakened by the mysterious servant, who once again controlled the spirit thread and turned it into a puppet in his hands.

This is a delicate task; it needs to be handled slowly.

"Ahem, anyway, I planted something on Salinger and the Primal Witch."

"These pre-set things, when necessary, can become a mystical bomb that can blow up the entire path and affect the extraordinary. The closer they are to the high-ranking beings, the closer they are to the Sequence 0 position, and the closer they are to the deity of their path, the more affected they will be."

Under the evolution of "fixed numbers," and amidst the strong interference of Euclidean space and the "Supreme One," at that moment a thousand years ago, Tang let the Primordial Witch and Salinger glimpse what the "future" would look like.

The inevitable "future" was both a danger and an opportunity for Salinger and Chick, who were unaware of it at the time.

The opportunity lies in their ability to see glimpses of the future and make arrangements in advance.

Although the future will not change, it is still possible to seek a glimmer of hope in the unseen "future".

The danger lies in the fact that these "futures" are also a form of pollution, which can involuntarily turn people and gods into puppets of fate.

After all, the "future" is not so easy to peek into, as it can lead to them being spiritually corrupted by the "Supreme One," causing them to frequently see things they shouldn't see and hear things they shouldn't hear.

In other words, Tang relied on the "future" to implant spiritual imprints into Salinger and the Primordial Witch.

Based on the evolutionary path of mad knowledge, if he doesn't dispose of all information about Tang and the images from the "future" after his contact with these two deities, then this "knowledge" from the "Supreme One," along with Sequence 0, which received help from the Wilderness of Knowledge and is equivalent to half of the "Hermits" of the Old Days, will cause them to be continuously bombarded by mad knowledge until their death, making them even madder and dying faster.

Ultimately, everyone will become a puppet suspended beneath the river of fate.

This is Tang's backup plan. Although it is the inevitable future, the future influences the past, and the past influences the future, forming a complete cycle. However, in reality, the extent to which the future can interfere with the past, and how it should interfere, are still within a certain limit.

Take Amon's problem, for example, well, that's something we'll have to deal with next...

If his past self borrows power from his present self, and when he returns to the past, he slaps that Amon, along with Amon who wasn't even there at the time, to death, then the cycle will be in serious trouble, and he might even die himself.

Torn apart by the power they wield, they face death in its truest sense.

On the eve of the Pale Calamity, after being attacked by the unknown ancients and Sequence 0, if Salinger and the Primordial Witch chose to immediately target Tang through divination and prophecy, although Tang from the future would not be affected, the Tang from the past might not be.

“Even though I traveled to a time after the Pale Catastrophe, back then, although Salinger was dead, the Primordial Witch was still alive…”

The creator in the mirror may not be without means to lock onto him and target his past self.

And just imagine, not even being an extraordinary being, facing the Primordial Witch, what a horrible sight that would be... "This paradox is quite terrifying to think about."

So, knowing that they have been mentally polluted, they use the symbols of "death" and "destruction" to cleanse themselves of information related to mad knowledge. In this way, they will not be affected by mad knowledge, but this will create gaps in their memories. Any paper documents or divination results obtained from the spirit world will be simultaneously tainted with the color of mad knowledge, endlessly and unavoidably.

If they choose not to eliminate the information of the Mad Knowledge, they will have to fight against it at all times, and then they will have no time to care about the past Tang.

Clean it up, forget about it, or don't clean it up—it'll be a huge hassle, and you won't be able to spare the time.

This is a guarantee, and also a necessary means of self-protection during the period that affects the past.

"As for the second backup plan, it's aimed at Salinger right now..."

Tang looked at the feathered serpent in front of him. He paused in his hand, which was fiddling with the spiritual threads, and then directed the Euclid Space to send some of its power to the feathered serpent.

The essence of this thing is the uniqueness of half a soul and the Death Path. Regardless of which half belongs to Azik Eggers' soul, the other half, the uniqueness of the Death Path, does indeed belong to the former Hades Emperor Salinger.

Salinger, on the other hand, had seen the "future" once.

Although time has passed and the predetermined "future" node has already passed, the mental pollution from the "future" that remains in the body of this giant feathered serpent has weakened to the point that it can no longer be perceived by even Tang himself, but there are still things that can be used.

By utilizing the characteristics of the Supreme Being, and granting the giant feathered serpent a constant "Observer" power, within the serpent's body, beside the spiritual will of the Underworld Emperor Salinger, a will that may have long since perished is slowly being reborn within the unique Death Path of the Underworld Emperor Salinger...

Although he felt that Salinger would not cleanse himself of the spiritual pollution he had left in His body after that, and intended to use this spiritual pollution to fight against the resurrected will of the original God and the first creator in order to stabilize his half-mad state.

But to be honest, Tang was still a little surprised to see that his will had not been eradicated.

The audacity and astonishment of the former true ruler of the Byron Empire, the Underworld Emperor Salinger.

After all, not everyone has the courage to introduce an unknown spiritual imprint into their spiritual struggle with the primordial God and the original creator.

"But speaking of which, could it be that none of my will, which I implanted into Salinger and the Primordial Witch using the 'future,' has been cleaned up?"

Although it hadn't been sensed before, a Salinger was dead; His "future" had ended, so faint as to be negligible...

Tang sensed it for a moment, and said, "Hmm, very good, I didn't sense anything."

This is probably because the original witch has always been hiding in a special mirror world.

It's quite normal that the place harbors a mirror creator created by two madmen, Arista Tudor and Chick, and that it shields him from the perception of his own will.

The Primal Witch uses her own anchor point to balance the awakening of the First Creator, the Primal God, and his spiritual imprint, thereby stabilizing her humanity and seeking development. This is indeed a very reasonable development.

By introducing a new variable between madness and even greater madness, it is indeed possible to achieve a new balance that is more likely to be realized.

Tang touched his chin, glanced at Owen who was looking at him, and asked curiously, "Why are you looking at me?"

Irving: "I'm waiting for your explanation."

"I haven't figured out how to lie... oh no, I mean, explain."

"You said it out loud," Irving said, arms crossed, speechless.

"Oh, really? Then I'll be more careful next time..." Tang shrugged, not bothering to explain further.

There are many things to explain, such as sentient marionettes, strange higher-dimensional spaces, things that seem to do things predictively all the time, strange gifts and rituals, and things that talk to themselves when they're bored...

Having more debt is never a bad thing.
“In this situation,” Tang turned his gaze back to the giant feathered serpent, “separation is only a matter of time. After the separation, Owen, you should first accommodate uniqueness, and then we will hand it over to the Goddess of Night.”

Using the abilities of the "Observer" and the deception of the mysterious three pathways, he can create another Death God with a sequence of 0.

It simply lacks the uniqueness and the extraordinary property of having only two Sequence 1s. It has a position and can actually do many things, ensuring its own safety.

The Eternal Darkness must be born, and clearly, the Goddess of Night is a better candidate.

Kyrie Irving...

Let's just be a Sequence 1 Archangel. The tall ones can handle the struggles at the top.

That spot wasn't exactly easy to get a seat in.

Seeing that Tang was changing the subject again, Irving thought for a moment and decided not to continue the conversation.

Everyone has secrets; perhaps the best approach is not to ask.

I asked... well, it's probably pointless.

He looked at Tang, thinking silently to himself.

Meanwhile, in the Eastern Continent, in Silver City.

As Nikolai walked down the bustling street, his "erroneous" figure stood out conspicuously among the giants.

However, none of the giants ever noticed the figure wearing a black silk top hat walking past them.

Lightning flashed across the sky repeatedly. Nikolai looked up at the sky and muttered a complaint: he had finally come out from underground, but it was still the same old sky where he couldn't see the blue sky at all.

"Forget it, I'll complain about it later."

The current focus is on how to make Derrick Berg's parents die "reasonably".
