Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves

Chapter 157: Building the Association's World


That's right, this is the preliminary conclusion the Association reached after deeply experiencing the different Extraordinary Powers of different worlds.

This is also something that can only be researched and explored after stepping outside of the world itself.

After all, only by conducting comparative studies of different Extraordinary Worlds and different Extraordinary Rules, can one discover the role contained in the variables.

According to current research findings, the core of Extraordinary Power lies not in the world, but in the most microscopic particles.

This is also why some Extraordinary Powers can be cultivated in other worlds, while others are exceedingly difficult to do so.

For example, Martial Arts.

The Martial Arts World is built upon Primordial Energy, and this power is, in fact, the essential force of life that exists in most worlds.

The difference lies only in whether it is active or not.

Therefore, in most worlds, Martial Arts can be practiced.

But Magic Power is different.

Magic Power possesses a certain distinctiveness.

In essence, it emerges from a qualitative transformation of Divine Power, while Divine Power itself originates from some Extraordinary Source at the birth of a world.

At present, it exists only in the Magic World, so unless Magic Power is transported on a large scale from the Magic World, it is difficult to popularize it in other worlds.

Similarly, the fact that the core of Extraordinary Rules is founded upon basic Extraordinary Energy can also be observed in the Magic World.

This is because in the Magic World, there exist two kinds of basic Extraordinary Energy, which can transform into each other, yet have certain differences.

Magic Power and Divine Power.

And an obvious phenomenon is that when Divine Power gradually transforms into Magic Power, the original Divine Authority also begins to dissipate.

This type of Extraordinary Rule that belongs to Divine Power is being transformed along with the transformation of basic Extraordinary particles.

From Divine Authority, which was completely controlled by the will of Divine Spirits, it has become a more rigorous and stable set of Magic operating rules.

Therefore, amidst this series of changes, it is not very difficult to draw conclusions.

At this moment, after interstellar world Shen Yu briefly explained the research process and theoretical basis, he spoke: "Based on the situation you described, I can currently make a preliminary conjecture. Your world possesses some form of self-awareness, similar to a Divine Spirit, capable of large-scale manipulation and alteration of Extraordinary Rules. After all, such a sudden change does not conform to the natural evolution of Extraordinary Rules, and moreover, it shows a distinct tendency."

"You mean... the Heavenly Dao has attained self-awareness?" Cultivator Shen Yu's mood was somewhat gloomy.

If this is really the case, then the doomsday crisis of his world will be immeasurably more difficult to resolve.

However, interstellar world Shen Yu shook his head.

"It may not be the so-called Heavenly Dao. It could also be some extraordinary individual who has touched the Extraordinary Source and acquired abilities similar to 'Divine Authority'. Moreover, an evident conclusion is that Extraordinary Rules are not so easily altered, and the properties of basic Extraordinary Energy are likewise not easily changed."

This is also an easily obtained conclusion.

After all, even the gods of the Magic World cannot truly do whatever they please within their own domains of Divine Authority.

For example, the God of Disease.

He can make pathogens stronger, but he still cannot change the fundamental principle that pathogens cause disease.

Because Divine Power cannot accomplish this.

Divine Authority is but the manifestation of the rules of Divine Power. The gods, as life forms lacking self-awareness, can only express their power as an embodiment of the rules of Divine Power.

"In other words..." Cultivator Shen Yu vaguely understood, his eyes brightening slightly, "I only need to take those strong cultivators preparing to break through in my world out of the world, and they can continue to break through?"

If this is so, then not only can the allure of becoming a Demon Cultivator be greatly diminished, more importantly, his own authority will also increase!

This would mean controlling the breakthrough eligibility of all cultivators unwilling to become Demon Cultivators in his own hands!

It can be considered killing multiple birds with one stone.

However, Shen Yu had no choice but to pour cold water on the idea.

"Theoretically, that's correct, but in reality, many problems remain to be solved." Shen Yu shook his head helplessly and continued, "First, even if the Heavenly Dao Rules cannot fully restrict cultivation, they still have considerable influence—especially positive influence. It's foreseeable that breaking through outside the world will have even less chance of success. Second, one must consider the cost of leaving the world—even though we've greatly reduced that cost now, the power of these cultivators is considerable, and the total is not a small number. Lastly, after leaving the world, where can they break through? Wouldn't this expose the Association's strengths and weaknesses? Can the Association's power be displayed? These are all problems."

The questions Shen Yu raised rendered everyone present silent.

But this does not mean that they are at their wits' end.

They are merely thinking.

In the end, it was Shen Yu who broke the silence.

"These three problems, in essence, converge into one," he said in a deep voice as he faced the four pairs of eyes looking at him. "It is time for us to have a 'base camp', and not a fictitious one, but a real, unique base camp capable of accommodating 'guests'."

All along, the existence of the Association has been insufficiently concrete.

Quite vague.

A few people have experienced the Gray Mist Space, but that was only through temporary usage of some virtual images.

For example, buildings and strong cultivators within the Gray Mist.

However, all Shen Yu understood that as time passes, they cannot continue like this indefinitely.
