Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

Time around them was frozen.

And it also appears to be in a state of deep stillness.

Without a doubt, this is something that only Ku Rong, who holds the power over time, can accomplish.

But this power, which can even freeze an extremely evil thought that also controls time but hasn't reached its extreme, is powerful enough to prevent it from breaking free...

But there is always a price to pay for such efforts.

It might not last long, otherwise the withering and flourishing would have been used long ago instead of waiting until now.

As for why he wasn't completely stilled?

Although he was also unable to move, he could see the surrounding situation. His consciousness was not frozen, which must have been the result of Ku Rong's deliberate actions.

As for the reason he did this, it is unsurprisingly because of the Twelve Devils, who harbor extremely evil intentions.

Sure enough, just as He Li was pondering...

The sound of withering and flourishing rang out.

"I have exercised the authority of time. Absolute authority is powerful, but it also has more limitations."

"During this period, while all living beings are frozen in place, I myself am also unable to move or do anything at will, but at least this can buy us enough time."

"While I am exercising my authority..."

"You'd better come up with a solution as soon as possible."

"Whether the established history will be changed if those twelve strange things are not resolved is still unknown."

"But you will surely die at the hands of extreme evil."

"So, you'd better hurry!"

The sounds of decay and prosperity entered my mind.

"I know!" He Li responded consciously, but in reality, he didn't have many ideas at the moment.

After all, things happened too suddenly. He had never imagined that the extremely evil thoughts would have this trick up their sleeve, even though he knew that the Great Exorcism involved twelve beasts and twelve ghosts.

But in later generations, that became just a legend.

Furthermore, since arriving in this era, he had never heard of anything like this...

This led He Li to mistakenly believe that the twelve beasts and twelve ghosts in the later legends of the Great Exorcism and Plague Extermination should not exist, or even if they did exist, they were not at this point in time.

Does anyone know that the Twelve Ghosts really exist?

And it was caused by extremely evil thoughts?

This is so unexpected.

And now... although Ku Rong used the power of time to gain time for He Li to think.

The problem is that although he can think, he doesn't have many clues, and he can't move right now. He can only rely on his brain to figure out how to deal with the twelve beings who are beyond ordinary gods...

This is simply a fantasy.

The difficulty was so high that He Li's furrowed brows never relaxed for even a moment.

However, He Li's brows soon relaxed slightly, indicating that he had an idea in mind.

"The Twelve Devils originate from evil thoughts."

"It is a further subdivision of evil thoughts into the most evil thoughts."

"Furthermore, the thought of extreme evil itself is an amalgamation of the evil thoughts of many supreme gods and deities. Although it does not directly wield power, it has a deep understanding of power or rules..."

"That's why it was able to successfully create those twelve demons based on evil intentions."

"If we follow its line of thinking..."

"Then I should also be able to use the positive emotions of all living beings to create twelve beasts that can suppress and devour the twelve evil spirits to fight against the extreme evil thoughts."

He Li pondered this in his mind.

However, although I had an idea, putting it into practice was not so easy.

After all, he wasn't driven by extreme evil.

He has limited understanding of the rules and authority.

Although he is also a supreme god, the only rules and authority he has come into contact with so far is the inner fire...

"No, inner fire... My inner fire is the concept of confronting fear and cowardice and fierce resistance, and it is also the most powerful positive concept, similar to authority and evil."

"If we break down the 'heart fire' (心火), theoretically we should be able to break it down into quite a few concepts as well..."

He Li calmed down and began to think deeply.

He was also carefully sensing the fire within his own heart.

His inner fire encompasses too many concepts.

In his view, a more detailed and specific classification might include the concept of courage to confront the bizarre, the concept of clarity to face nightmares without fear, or the concept of guarding one's heart to dispel evil spirits, etc.

While pondering and comprehending, He Li's gaze was also fixed on the twelve demons behind the Extreme Evil Thought.

The conceptual power of these twelve mysteries...

He is capable of sensing and discerning.

This may be due to the power of the inner fire, since the inner fire and evil thoughts are inherently related.

The power of the Twelve Demons comes from evil thoughts, so the corresponding Heart Fire can clearly perceive what kind of concept they are, and He Li can also distinguish a more specific corresponding concept for this.

However, the concepts have been separated...

Then how were the twelve beasts created?

He Li frowned again, deep in thought, as he recalled his insights about conceptual divinity...

"Wait a minute, maybe I'm thinking about it wrong?"

"Creating the twelve beasts to counter the twelve demons might not necessarily require shaping them into gods, but rather... something that exists entirely within the concepts and rules of heaven and earth..."

"A more defined power that takes effect naturally upon activation of the corresponding force?"

"For example, when people have evil thoughts..."

"Does an instinct arise to suppress malicious thoughts with a sense of kindness?"

When being misled, do you instinctively try to remind yourself to stay true to yourself and not be deceived?

"In that case... perhaps I only need to manipulate the concept of the inner fire that already exists in the hearts of all beings, and give it more specific rules for activation..."

He Li pondered.

The light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

However, He Li, who was engrossed in thinking and beginning to try to manipulate the rules of concepts, did not notice that Ku Rong, who was not far away, was frowning as if he was somewhat powerless.

And further away, the extremely malevolent thought, its eerie eyes also began to tremble.

These behaviors all demonstrate that...

The power of time, which governs the cycle of life and death, cannot cover the world for too long, and it cannot sustain itself.

At the same time, that extremely evil thought must have already sensed the anomaly resisting the power of time of decay and prosperity, and it might break free from the power of decay and prosperity at any moment.

Fortunately, as the static force field of the time authority weakened, changes have begun to appear on He Li's body.

His inner fire was also changing.

Moreover, changes in the heart fire can be observed.

If you look at the flames of evil thoughts that He Li released to fight against the extreme evil, you can see that He Li's still flames are twisting...

It was vaguely discernible that the shape of the flames was changing towards that of a strange and bizarre creature.

Of course, the change is too obvious.

Not only did Ku Rong discover it, but the extremely evil thought that was gradually breaking free from the stillness of time also saw the heart fire that was frozen but changing as soon as his vision returned.

As the epitome of malice...

Its perception of changes in the positive concept of "heart fire" must be extremely keen.

Extremely evil thoughts can be clearly felt...

That inner fire became even more dangerous.

It even gives it a creepy feeling, as if touching it would immediately incinerate it.

"What happened?"

The extremely evil thought was somewhat startled and doubtful.

Its gaze instinctively fell upon He Li, but this glance startled the extremely evil thoughts within it, causing all its eerie eyes to contract violently, as if it had witnessed some great horror.

However, this sudden change in the extremely evil thought left Ku Rong somewhat bewildered.

Because the cycle of flourishing and decay is not a matter of reason...

He could only sense that He Li was changing.

His aura became even more terrifying.

However, Ku Rong couldn't see anything else and naturally couldn't understand why He Li's pupils contracted as if he was very scared just because his Qi had slightly increased.

Ku Rong couldn't understand it, but looking at He Li from the perspective of extreme evil is a different story...

From the perspective of extreme evil...

It was clear that He Li, who had originally resembled the Fire Ancestor but was engulfed in flames and seemed like a fire god, had now lost his original "human" appearance...

He transformed into a being with four unfamiliar eyes, a body resembling an unknown beast, and clad in bizarre garments that were both pitch black like an abyss and crimson like blood, filled with countless conceptual and rule-based patterns...

Even more terrifying, this eerie thing held aloft a long halberd that flickered with faint lightning, seemingly capable of cleaving the heavens...

It also possesses a massive shield that acts as a bulwark of the world...

Beneath his feet, a sea of ​​fire raged, filled with eerie sorrow and struggle...

It could vaguely see more than a dozen indescribable, bizarre monsters in the sea of ​​fire, skinning, pulling out tendons, and even swallowing alive the agonizing, howling, and struggling creatures...

What truly terrifies the most wicked thoughts is...

It was because when it saw this "He Li," the other party seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around, its four tightly closed eyes opening and instantly turning the world red...

In an instant, even the most wicked thoughts felt like they would be crushed into dust by an irresistible force.

That feeling was terrifying.

Even the most malevolent thoughts felt a chill run down its spine. If its body hadn't been immobilized, it would have fled thousands of miles away before it could feel at ease.

But, once the extremely evil thoughts subsided...

Its fear was quickly replaced by rage!

"Destiny...destiny?!?"

It hissed softly, its eyes widening as its aura expanded wildly, instantly shattering the already crumbling time-stillness field that couldn't hold for long...

Clearly, He Li's change of heart has driven him mad with the realization that his fate is unchangeable!
