"By the time you see this telegram, I will have already started eating people."
"The so-called cultivation methods of the Western Continent are not as mysterious as imagined. The reason why the people of the Western Continent are able to come into contact with the source essence is essentially due to the poison resistance and tolerance accumulated by generations. Bloodlines without the adaptability to the source essence simply cannot be passed down."
Xia Er looked at the telegram in his hand, his face expressionless, and fell into a long silence.
All the research findings, experimental data, and wondrous methods of the Western Continent that we had hoped for were fake, empty talk. It seems that the only thing that can truly be called the Dao is "cannibalism." Everything else is just law, or extraordinary ability, which is not that important.
This seems reasonable.
Klein's affinity for the Source Castle was cultivated by spirits that hung on the Source Castle for more than three eras.
Grisha's affinity for the Chaos Sea was formed by his spirit and body soaking in the Chaos Sea for more than an epoch.
The people of the Western Continent do not have such conditions, so they can only rely on the survival of the fittest and the targeted mutation of each generation... Fortunately, reproduction is ultimately "protected" by the mother nest, and so the lives of each generation are exchanged for the so-called cultivation talent of the offspring?
"Cannibalism?"
"A battle royale that happens once every 300 years?"
All of this deviates from the expectations in Xia'er's plan. As a recluse on the knowledge side and a writer of audience sequence 1, even a fool would know that he had to make arrangements for the future apocalypse.
He initially chose the Western Continent, and even though he hadn't done it yet, he knew for sure that he would eventually do it. But now it seems he underestimated the difficulty of the Western Continent instance.
"It's not scarcity that's worrisome, but inequality. Can someone with a lifespan of three hundred years sit and discuss philosophy with someone whose lifespan is several thousand?"
"Similarly, I'm afraid that the Heavenly Venerable's backup plan, Penglai, left a deep impression on the Western Continent, and no one would believe any promises."
Putting everything else aside, one thing is certain: the Celestial Venerable's private territory in the Western Continent would never believe in any political contracts or oaths. Without extraordinary factors, they wouldn't believe in such things. Besides, contracts, as a form of authority, can be constrained or offset by other forms of authority.
Even if one really wanted to sign a contract, signing a contract with a Dao Integration cultivator whose lifespan is no more than 300 years would seem to have no effect. When these Dao Integration cultivators are about to reach their end, who would care about the potential backlash from the contract's punishment?
I swore an oath to the source, but it didn't seem to have any effect.
Xia'er thought of the goddess of the night in the fanfiction "The Ring of Destiny," who seemed to have sworn an oath to the River of Eternal Darkness, promising to treat the Haoli lineage well and promote its glory, and that if she broke the oath, she would sink into the River of Eternal Darkness. Putting aside the degree of freedom in this oath, whose Haoli lineage isn't the Haoli lineage? Even if there is a complete internal reshuffle, as long as the signboard is still up, even if it's just a small signboard for a branch, it doesn't count as a breach of the agreement.
These are all minor matters. Based on Xia'er's understanding of the Goddess of the Night, this woman wouldn't be so idle as to cause such a commotion to the original Haoli lineage. In her eyes, perhaps the Church of the Night and the Haoli lineage are no different; in the end, they are both just the Church of Eternal Darkness, both tools for collecting faith.
What he was really thinking was, even if the Goddess of Night openly broke the oath, would she be punished according to the oath?
The core power that sustains the oath is the River of Eternal Darkness, but can the Goddess of Night, who has already ascended to Eternal Darkness (the Old Ones), still be turned against in this way?
Similarly, would the Primordial God, the Son of Chaos (the Kingdom of Disorder), an Old One with the authority or symbol of order, be punished for violating the covenant he himself designated? Would I punish myself? There must be ways to circumvent the "Shadow of Order," and the Primordial God is probably the same.
Similarly, Sequence 0 Sun, the lower-level authority of the Order Authority, is described on the Profaned Slate as follows: once a contract is signed, even the Old Days without corresponding symbols will be subject to strong constraints.
Is this something that the original God released to deceive college students?
For a contract to be enforced, it needs to be guaranteed by power.
If the power comes from the Sequence 0 Sun itself, and the target violates the Extraordinary Contract, it might receive an extremely strong divine bonus, creating a restraining effect when attacking the opponent. However, the idea of truly binding opponents of the same level seems like nonsense.
If any Sequence 0 doesn't have a special authority to cancel the contract, and even the Grim Reaper's extraordinary characteristics can temporarily kill it, then temporarily killing one's own contract seems quite simple.
The constraints of the past, which lack corresponding symbols, seem real because they are so fake.
Referring to the contract of Sequence 3 of the Solar Path, which can bind angels, the core is the power of the Sun in Sequence 0. Even if the position of Sequence 0 is empty, as long as uniqueness exists, the execution of the contract will be maintained naturally. This is the instinct of authority.
So the power that restrains the past must originate from the Chaos Sea, right?
God would surely appreciate such an orderly and obedient sun when it revives.
"The whole world doesn't keep its promises."
Xia Er even thought of the Mother Goddess on the moon. The Mother Goddess is "reborn" once, but the contract is not refreshed. Isn't that cheating? What does the contract signed by the previous Mother Goddess have to do with me, the Mother Goddess? Mystical connections can be refreshed through "rebirth", but sacred contracts cannot?
If the Lord of Mysteries is so powerful that he can slightly modify God's flawless contract, why doesn't he think of a way to transfer the contract on the Mother Goddess's head to her daughter Omibella or the Chaos Origin through some strange method or mysterious connection?
As long as Omibella, Olabella, or Miraobella are still in gestation, not yet born, and still one with the Mother Goddess, the subject of the contract is transferred to Omibella, and then Omibella is attempted to be separated from the original God as part of the Mother Goddess, carrying the contract with the original God.
Isn't this better than directly altering God's written contract?
For a powerful and mysterious lord, modifying a "justified contract" is a bit difficult, just like directly changing the law is difficult. So, finding a scapegoat to take the blame, making it a fait accompli, dropping the case, and indirectly achieving the goal is much simpler than directly changing the contract, isn't it?
In a very short time, Xia Er had come up with so many things, and then couldn't help but wonder whether he had underestimated the difficulty of the God's Contract, or whether Klein on that line was just more straightforward and used to solving problems by the power of authority.
puff~
Hahaha.
Xia Er stuffed the file back into his hand, the gloom in his heart vanishing. He couldn't help but laugh at the thought of the Celestial Venerable's spirit in heaven seeing his successor, the little devil who had surpassed him by half a son, using his authority to "decipher" or "find loopholes" to scan a contract that was practically perfect and specifically designed to prevent the old devil from doing so for so long, and finally managing to distort reality and slightly disrupt God's contract.
LOL~
Even the Mother Goddess was willing to cooperate.
It's so difficult to come up with a contract with God of Death in such a mysterious way.
Is this the political tactic of nurturing bandits to enhance one's own importance?
