Lets go, we cant let Killer J continue to deliberately create trouble again Noah said.

This matter was related to Negarys evolution, and while Killer J was a part of Negary, he was also an unstable variable.

His chaotic train of thought could come up with numerous kinds of miraculous thoughts, some of which had actually been able to save a definite failure, but most of the time, they would cause unnecessary incidents.

Killer Js rate of success for missions among the Impure Hermit Order was actually at the very top if you flipped the rankings upside down, despite the fact that his strength was far more than enough to crush some of those missions.

For example, there was a certain ore vein that was found to be suitable for mining that was taken over by the Black Rock tribe of Desolates, Killer Js mission at the time was to peacefully announce their acquisition and discuss some friendly relations.

Establis.h.i.+ng relations between the Demon race and the Black Rock tribe was very crucial. It was necessary to open a new stage in their cooperation and maintain mutual benefits, overall, building a peaceful relations.h.i.+p between slaves and slave owners.

During that time, Killer Js jumpy thought process went completely off the rails in a moment of carelessness. He infiltrated the Black Rock tribe and convinced the heir of the Black Rock tribe that being bald while cross-dressing had the benefit of strengthening oneself. Furthermore, he even persuaded that heir that it was best for him to become the idol of the Black Rock tribe, leading them to become the Demon races dependent early on in order to quickly be recognized as a superior species by the Demon race.

There were no problems with deluding the heir of the tribe, but what the h.e.l.l is a cross-dressing bald idol? Even worse, that guy actually believed it and formed a faith of believing in the cross-dressing G.o.d within the Black Rock tribe.

In the end, he actually became weaker as a result of being too immersed in cross-dressing, leading to the Shaman of the tribe discovering the issue as well as Killer J.

Afterwards, Killer J still managed to conquer that tribe through fist and knife negotiations, but the ore vein was also sunken down further into the earth by the tribes Shaman, thinking that he might as well not let the invaders benefit if he couldnt benefit from it, making it now at least twice as hard to mine.

This wasnt an outlier case either. Killer Js chaotic thinking and his personality of liking to seek death had led to one unexpected situation after another, despite the goal of the mission being pointed out so clearly.

At this point, Noahs trust in Killer J had plummeted through the ground. He wanted nothing more than to quickly make his way to the [Protagonist]s location and properly arrange everything.

Ah, you should put a bit more faith in little J, he just cant help his nature being the way it is Lan Shan smiled while glossing that matter over, she only thought of Killer J as being a bit naughty, but also quite an interesting person.

Within the Desolate Sacrifice world, Negarys consciousness slowly regained its strength as he had practically finished removing the white flames attached to it.

Negarys consciousness slowly entered the Ancestral Wild and began to spread throughout the entirety of the Ancestral Wild. Information relating to the Ancestral Wild also rapidly flowed into Negarys consciousness.

The so-called Ancestral Wild was in fact a secluded world within the Desolate Sacrifice world, it was the central connection area to the various aspects of this world, as well as the gathering place of this worlds essence and life reincarnation.

The Ancestral Wild would absorb Source Energy from s.p.a.ce, refine it, then create various Totems using that energy and hand them over for the living beings of this world to wors.h.i.+p and pledge their offerings to. Through this process, it would gradually convert the Totems into creatures and objects of this world.

After a living being dies, their Totems would return to the Ancestral Wild and become a part of the Ancestral Wild. It was through this gradual and systematic process that the world spirit ensured the worlds healthy growth.

When necessary, it would also be able to discard the outside world. As long as the Ancestral Wild remains, it would still be able to develop the entire world again without issues

The so-called legend of being able to enter the Ancestral Wild and obtain eternal life after depicting its complete form is also nothing but a lie

After fully manifesting a Totem, ones consciousness would be able to use it to enter the Ancestral Wild, but not their body

They would still eventually die if this was the case, so a different system would open up

Negary shook his head as he thought of this.

A complete depiction includes both the Inward and Outward Aspects, the Outward Aspect being the Totem within the Ancestral Wild, while the Inward Aspect is the Totem within oneself

In reality, the so-called Inward Aspect is ones [Origin], and using the Totem to release ones [Origin] bit by bit before combining both the Inward and Outward Aspects in order to enter the Ancestral Wild is essentially selling oneself to the world

All things considered; this is a relatively successful method of herding living beings Negary commented without prejudice.

From the perspective of living beings, the actions of the Desolate Sacrifice worlds spirit would be considered extremely inhumane, being no different than ma.s.s genocide; but from Negarys perspective, this kind of behavior wasnt actually wrongful.

This was just like raising chickens to continuously collect their eggs, then eventually butcher them when they get old. From the perspective of humans, this was normal behavior without fault, but from the perspective of a chicken, this would be condemnable without issue.

And so, the perspective of the observer was very crucial, just like many things that were in a grey area, whats important is the perspective.

What Negary was criticizing the Desolate Sacrifice world spirit about was the fact that its actions were too conservative. It herded living beings but was also afraid of living beings growing too powerful.

This led to there only being 6-7 individuals who had ever released their [Origins] to the third stage and obtained a Seed of Truth in the entirety of the worlds history; each of whom had left a considerable mark in the Desolate Sacrifice world.

At the same time, during the 10-odd years that Negary had appeared, over a dozen individuals had already reached the third stage of release, which was double that of the worlds entire history.

If you raise sheep, theres no need to fear a sheep being too strong that it runs away, wouldnt a fatter sheep simply be more delectable?

Of course, a sheep couldnt stay being just a sheep no matter how they tried

Negary wasnt an unreasonable person. As long as the other party fulfilled his qualifications, what harm would there be in allowing them to enter the Ancestral Wild? At most, he would only lose a bit of Source Energy compared to the output.

In short, the Desolate Sacrifice world spirits plan was too minor, limiting itself to being a tiny Sand Realm. For the sake of stable development, it had suppressed the development of the worlds living beings as a whole, being too conservative to explore any potentials.

In that case, hand the world over to me. If you have this much progressive will, I will keep your consciousness structure intact, it wont even be unreasonable for me to turn you into a unique clone Negary sent his consciousness towards the Desolate Sacrifice worlds spirit, being a benevolent ent.i.ty willing to grant anyone an opportunity.

The systematic world spirit immediately gave him its reply. Even though Negarys consciousness had begun to corrode its consciousness, it still considered Negary an invader, and its survival instincts were telling it to reject Negary.

As expected, very stiff and rigid

Negary could sense the worlds Source Energy beginning to manifest as a sort of curse under the world spirits manipulation to attack him.

In essence, Cede was simply a derivative power of the worlds Source Energy, created through making offerings to Totems. Due to a difference in the creation process, Cede was similar to Mana, but it was also different. Most of the power of Mana was due to its own nature, while Cede by itself didnt contain as much power as Mana; in return, it had the characteristic of being able to draw out other natural forces.

For example, the captain of the Meng tribes enforcers had used Cede to extract a bit of blood essence from the sword.

Thanks to the correlation capabilities of Cede, the fact that the world spirit perfectly wielded the worlds authorities, as well as this amount of Cede being directly converted from world Source Energy; these factors made it so that this Cede curse was extremely potent.

Lightning was being drawn by the Cede to manifest as spears that penetrated every aspect of the world while aiming for one very specific target.. The purple lightning seemed to be lingering around all things in the world, containing a will to not stop until it had damaged or destroyed Negarys consciousness.
