Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 434 Variables
"The future remains unchanged."

Ji Fuyou walked out of the Demon Suppression Valley.

While others walk, their thoughts follow the progress of their dreams, constantly integrating and recalling.

As his spiritual realm improved, and with the exploration of his own potential, almost all his memories surfaced, including details of his past dreams.

Based on the information he currently had, he compared it with these details one by one, and all the parts where he knew the "what" but not the "why" became clear.

"On Xuan Yue Island, there are the Bull Demon Commander, the Bull Demon King, the Skeleton Demon Lord, and then the Black Heaven Demon Lord, the Holy Domain Master, and the Crimson Moon Demon Lord..."

His thoughts paused for a moment at this point.

"The Crimson Moon Demon Lord is the Blood Moon Demon King!"

The battle between him, and the entire Crimson Star civilization, and the Blood Moon Demon King was ultimately inevitable.

The entanglement was not severed despite the fall of the Holy Venerable of Rainbow Sun City.

"After the Crimson Moon Demon Lord came the Earthly Treasury Demon Lord, the Dark Demon Dragon, and then... the Two-Winged Dragonman, and the Ice and Snow Troll."

As Ji Fuyou's thoughts became clearer, he saw the forces that these two demons represented.

Two-winged dragon people, from the demon dragon race!

Ice and Snow Trolls, from the Snowy Lands!
A causal entanglement originating from the realm of mountains and seas.

A causal entanglement originating from Rainbow City.

“Cause and effect entanglement… I thought that after the destruction of Rainbow Sun City, even if we Red Star didn’t sever our causal entanglement with the Blood Moon Demon King, at least the Snow Region wouldn’t confront us again. But now it seems… I underestimated the power of cause and effect entanglement.”

Every gift has a price tag attached in secret.

This cost does not change based on his "assumptions".

"I can't change the future."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he tilted his head slightly and looked towards the direction of the Mountain and Sea Realm: "So, there won't be any further changes in the future, right?"

Just like how he now kills the Thunder Giant Scorpion as easily as slicing melons and chopping vegetables, rampaging through the Demon Soul Palace with only his sword, what is destined to happen will still happen.

and so……

The future remains unchanged!

But he will change!
His ability to foresee the future makes him the biggest variable!

"In that case... let's see who grows faster..."

Ji Fuyou remained calm.

Now, he can use his tenth-tier power to easily defeat a seventh-tier Thunder Scorpion. So, when the Black Sky Demon Lord and the Blood Moon Demon King truly appear, and he breaks through to the eleventh or twelfth tier, will he be able to kill these monsters with the same overwhelming power he used to kill the Thunder Scorpion?
And then there are the future dragon monsters, the ice trolls...

If he had achieved legendary status by then, wouldn't killing these monsters have been a piece of cake?

If he can go a step further on the basis of legend and reach the level of a demigod who is suspected to be above legend, so what if the star-devouring monster comes?
Kill him outright with overwhelming force!

"The future remains unchanged! But as long as I grow fast enough, I'll kill one if one comes, and two if two come! In the struggle for the Great Dao, there is no retreat, only advancement. Anyone who opposes me will be killed!"

At this moment, Ji Fuyou felt his thoughts become more open than ever before.

The original worries, anxieties, confusion, and depression seemed to be completely shattered by this newly born belief!

He even felt incredibly relaxed!

It was filled with a sense of lightness, agility, and even...

It also carried an indescribable, fleeting spark.

Right now……

Thoughts flowed at the speed of light, arriving instantly without any hindrance.

It's not just a flash of lightning.

As Ji Fuyou became completely immersed in this state, his thoughts and inspirations entered the quantum realm, and almost the moment a thought was born, a result would immediately appear.

Although this result was limited by his understanding, the process itself...

Cause and effect occur almost simultaneously.

Cause and effect become a whole without any process.

The changes between the two will not take any time.

This is……

The power of the mind!

The soul is clean, pure, clear, and flawless!
All thoughts, ideas, cognitions, and causes and effects are so clear that the outcome can be seen at a glance, and there are no illusions or obstacles in the movement of thoughts.

Unfortunately, Ji Fuyou was clearly not paying attention to the changes brought about by these unrestrained thoughts at this moment.

He had no idea that this fleeting moment of inspiration, if explored further, would touch upon the spiritual power he so desperately desired.

However, this is normal.

The power of the mind requires purity, clarity, and flawlessness.

If one single-mindedly pursues this kind of purity, one will be obscured by obsession, thus drifting further and further away from the essence of spiritual power.

It was precisely because Ji Fuyou himself was unaware of his own state at that moment that he was able to glimpse the tip of the iceberg of mental power.

Feeling an unprecedented clarity of mind and unparalleled lucidity, he immediately invoked the power of the void.

This time, when he invoked the power of the void, he seemed to have touched upon a deeper level of the wondrous uses of the power of the void, as if he had grasped the true essence of the power of the void.

but……

Even this strange change did not pull him out of this lightning-fast state.

At most, he felt that wielding the Void Authority this time was incredibly easy.

A dense power of void energy emanated from him.

When the fog dissipated, he was already at the outpost outside Bai Ze City.

The guards at the outpost, already on guard as the fog rolled in, surrounded him. When they saw Ji Fuyou, they were slightly taken aback: "Divine Envoy Ji?"

"Please inform the chief priest of Wupeng or Feilian that I hope to have a deeper level of cooperation with the Shan Hai Jie."

Ji Fuyou stated his purpose directly.

"Yes."

The outpost leader quickly responded, sending a message to Bai Zecheng while inviting Ji Fuyou inside to rest.

It was only while Ji Fuyou was waiting for Wu Peng and Fei Lian to arrive at the outpost that he finally sensed something was wrong. His condition just now…

"I seem to have gained a completely new understanding of the power of the void?"

He was slightly shocked.

He thought back carefully and realized that he was in better condition than ever before at that time.

With a single thought, the power of the void is drawn to accompany it.

Just like...

What he just invoked included not only the authority of the void, but also the power of the void itself.

"Skip the authority of the void and invoke the power of the void!?"

This conclusion surprised Ji Fuyou.

Then, I carefully recalled the state I had just experienced.

However, no matter how he recalled it, he only felt that he was in a good state at the time, and there was nothing else supernatural.

But when he tried to replicate that good state, he couldn't.

"what happened?"

Ji Fuyou pondered for a moment.

Fortunately, he personally could not replicate the scene just now, but the Realm of the Gods could.

The power of the Void God Realm is anchored by himself, and it incorporates the power of the "future" dream, possessing the intertwined power of the past, present, and future.

Everything that happened to him was recorded by the Realm of the Void Gods.

Therefore, with a thought, the scene of him drawing upon the power of the void reappeared.

Upon witnessing this recurrence, he quickly realized something.

"Such exquisite use of void power... is this something I can do!?"

Ji Fuyou was startled.

That state of circulating the power of the void...

He did not hesitate to incorporate this state into the Void Power research project in the Void God Realm.

Suddenly, the nature of this project underwent a dramatic change.

Originally, the progress was stuck at 1% after it was set up, and it was almost impossible to move forward. But it suddenly jumped to 13%!

Moreover, even after the percentage increased to 13%, the project did not stagnate but continued to advance at an efficiency many times faster than before!

This impetus...

While it may not be as dramatic as a breakthrough from 0 to 1, it still gave hope that a nearly impossible project could be accomplished.

"The progress... it's actually starting to increase!?"

Ji Fuyou's eyes were filled with surprise.

Without hesitation, he allocated more than 2 million units of the Void God Realm Power, which had already surged to 5000 million, and invested them into the Void Power.

Just as Ji Fuyou finished allocating his quota, a figure streaked across the horizon like a streak of light.

Ji Fuyou used his divine sense to scan the area briefly and immediately identified the figure that was riding the wind.

Fei Lian.

"The Divine Envoy of Season".

Fei Lian descended from the sky and bowed to Ji Fuyou from afar.

"High Priest Feilian, I possess a divine ability that I wish to pursue in greater cooperation with the Mountain and Sea Realm."

Ji Fuyou Road.

"Oh? A deeper level of cooperation? Is the Seasonal Envoy confirmed?"

Fei Lian looked at him with a somewhat surprised expression.

They had already considered this idea during their previous conversation with Ji Fuyou, but Ji Fuyou was clearly wary of the causal entanglements between the two realms, so he hoped to postpone it for a year or two.

It's estimated that they want to assess the depth of the Mountain and Sea Realm and make further judgments based on his own strength improvement.

at the moment……

It hasn't been long, but he seems to have changed his mind and is no longer afraid of the karma between the two worlds?

"High Priest Feilian, may I borrow a bit of your spiritual power?"

Ji Fuyou Road.

Fei Lian nodded, releasing a wisp of spiritual energy.

However, as he dispersed this spiritual energy, he soon felt that it seemed to be drawn to another world.

"This is……"

"High Priest Feilian, please take a look. These are some of my insights into the shaping of celestial bodies."

He directly passed on some of his experience in condensing celestial bodies to Fei Lian.

After briefly touching upon these experiences and insights, Fei Lian immediately felt as if he had entered Ji Fuyou's vision, perception, and even understanding, and began to transform and reshape his own body little by little in his identity!
This empathy...

Fei Lian's eyes widened suddenly: "This...this..."

"And there's also the insight into the Heavenly Realm."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he once again passed on a portion of his Heavenly Realm insights to Feilian.

His understanding of the Heavenly Realm wasn't particularly profound, but his overall perspective was no less than that of an ordinary ninth-rank cultivator like Fei Lian.

After a short while, Fei Lian's control over the power of heaven and earth immediately gave rise to countless understandings and inspirations!

This kind of improvement...

It worked instantly!
"This...this is unbelievable!"

Fei Lian couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

"My further cooperation with the Mountain and Sea Realm is to provide the Virtual God Realm as a platform, inviting all beings in the Mountain and Sea Realm to upload their experiences and insights to the Virtual God Realm."

Ji Fuyou said, "You must already understand the benefits of this approach. When everyone can share resources and exchange ideas without reservation, and promote each other, I believe that... the strength of everyone in the entire Mountain and Sea Realm will experience a visible leap in a short period of time!"
