Chapter 217: Am I Becoming A God Right Now?
After confirming that he would join the [Justice Faction], that grand will slowly dissipated from his heart, no longer paying attention to this newly born [Anti-Law].
At the same time, the concept of [Annualized Interest Rate 49.9%] was also written into Yuan Zhu’s exclusive [Anti-Law.Shadow], becoming one of the core foundations for the [Anti-Law]’s existence and operation.
If he wants to lower the [Interest Rate] in the future, that’s no problem, just a minor adjustment within the [Benevolent God Faction], reasonable and compliant. But if he wants to break through the 50% dividing line, then the foundation of the [Anti-Law] will be shaken, harming the roots.
Once the faction is locked, from this day forth, all users who establish an [Anti-Law Contract] with Yuan Zhu, no matter if the other party offers ‘soul’ or ‘health, body, love’ or something else for the transaction?
Once the [Anti-Law] is established, Yuan Zhu will harvest 49.9% interest on the ‘investment amount’ from the other party every year. As long as the [Anti-Law] doesn’t end, this will be a steady ‘guaranteed revenue’ that can be continuously exploited. Instantly feeling awesome!
…
As the connection between Yuan Zhu and the emerging [Anti-Law.Shadow] deepened continuously, the [Immortal Scripture.Client.Second Panel] in human stance also shifted from virtual to real, triggering a prompt from the [Great Desolation Immortal Scripture].
Just like when he performed the [Holy Mark Ritual] back then.
Although Yuan Zhu now has assembled the [Immortal Scripture]’s built-in [Dataized Soul Firewall 1]; the [Boss Template 2] activated after absorbing [Shadow Pollution]; plus the [Holy Light Profession Panel] unlocked by absorbing [Holy Light Pollution] in human stance, forming triple soul defenses.
Basically no need for active defense; just standing in the pollution-flooded ‘Insect City Forbidden Zone’, breathing deeply of ‘Iron Poison + Miasma + Immortal Zombie Tendrils’, his internal defense mechanisms will automatically clean, destroy, and resist all external pollution, ensuring he remains sufficiently healthy and stable.
But today is different; his soul is actively accepting and absorbing a new pollution source ([Anti-Law]). Although the pollution root of this [Anti-Law] is still himself ([Tiger Demon]), the form of the [Anti-Law]’s existence is one body with [Law].
It can also be seen as him seducing a new [Pollution Source (Great Law)] and attempting reverse refinement. This kind of inside-outside collusion letting the wolf into the house behavior naturally triggers the [Great Desolation Immortal Scripture] that had retreated and played dead again, asking whether to continue increasing his own [Pollution Degree] as the price to dataize and incorporate the new ‘Pollution System’?
Candle, who had long figured out the [Immortal Scripture]’s gameplay, of course knew this was another great opportunity to dig at the old immortal scripture master’s corner!
Of course, he also didn’t know if excessively increasing [Pollution Degree] had hidden risks, so this time, like accepting and refining [Holy Light], he controlled the [Soul Pollution Degree] brought by the [Anti-Law] at [1%].
Anyway, he hasn’t explored the limit of [Holy Light Pollution 1%] yet, so the same [1%] is enough for [Anti-Law.Shadow] to grow for a while.
After he finished all this, the mechanical and rigid [Great Desolation Immortal Scripture] calmed down again, hiding without emerging. Everything continues to be managed by the [Boss Template] agent.
At this moment, his soul pollution degree reached [19.6%], with [Holy Light, Law] each occupying 1%, and the remaining [Shadow (Tiger Demon) 17.6%].
……
When [Anti-Law.Shadow] fully became the [Second System] under human stance, Yuan Zhu had a brand new experience.
First, the original [Human Stance] and [Tiger Demon Stance] were in a severed shielding state, not interfering or affecting each other. Only under [Tiger Demon Stance] could he choose to activate [Health Recovery Mode] to repair basic injuries and replenish vitality for the human body.
But now, with [Anti-Law] successfully anchoring [Tiger Demon] as the sucker pollution source, he clearly felt that above him, there was a spring-like ‘pollution source’, connected to both sides by [Anti-Law].
Human Yuan Zhu can extract shadow pollution from [Tiger Demon]’s body, inject it into the [Anti-Law Fund Pool] to fully claim it as his own, and use it for operation and proliferation, or re-lend it to [Tiger Demon] to supplement its losses and deficits.
But the prerequisite is that the Tiger Demon, temporarily acting as the [Pollution Root], needs to sign an [Anti-Law.IOU] with him.
Right, it’s clearly pollution energy I got from you, but once it enters my [Anti-Law], it’s fully mine! Want to take it back? Must get my approval and sign an IOU. At the same time, I’ll continue to exploit and extract more [Shadow Pollution] from you, claiming it as my own!
This is [Anti-Law]!
This knowledge required no learning; once [Anti-Law] condensed, it appeared in his mind out of nowhere, learned without a teacher, known innately!
At the same time, [Anti-Law.Shadow] seemed to connect to some invisible massive database. Just like how after his [Holy Light] condensed [Soul Crystal] reaching the [Seed] realm, it automatically connected to the [Holy Light Network].
At this time, [Anti-Law.Shadow] just condensed and was innately [Seed] or even reached a higher realm, thus connecting to a larger [Anti-Law Database].
Yuan Zhu suspected that this ‘database’ might even be part of the [Pale Great Law]. It records massive amounts of free uploaded and sent information from [Anti-Law Masters, Anti-Law Demon Gods].
This information, after blending and precipitating in this unknown [Database], evolves into some ‘general knowledge’, waiting for new [Anti-Law Masters] to discover and read.
Just like free beginner tutorials, helping [Anti-Law] newcomers get started better and faster.
“Is this heavenly inheritance, heavenly dao enlightenment?”
This unprecedented wonderful experience made Yuan Zhu feel great. The [Great Desolation Immortal Scripture] devours and absorbs [Shadow Pollution], granting him the status of a wild god and demon, yet without any attached knowledge.
His ability to utilize [Shadow Power] was entirely due to the [Immortal Scripture]’s built-in [Boss Template]. Shadow was just garbage, carried by [Mutated Spiritual Root], with no supernatural system, all relying on self-summarization and creation. Bad review!
As for [Holy Light Pollution], it was much better, backed by the super platform [Holy Church], with noble status, numerous factions, clear promotion channels, and boundless prospects. The flaw is taking one step at a time, must pay respects to the sect, and spots are all occupied and reserved.
For him, a ‘Holy Light Genius’ purely relying on self-struggle, the future isn’t clear; even 2 seals are repeated castings, without dao lineage inheritance.
The newly contacted [Anti-Law] feels so different!
The ‘beginner tutorial’ he read from the grand [Anti-Law Database] directly points out the cultivation direction of the [Anti-Law System] at the beginning, heading straight for [Deity].
Starting move is how to ascend to godhood! Better and more perfect godhood ascension! Ascend to bigger and nobler super demon gods!
The [Path of Anti-Law] is the path to becoming a god.
After all, the prerequisite for entry is exclusively occupying a dedicated [Pollution Root]. You already have this thing, still want to start from the beginning ([Seed])? Impossible, we start as [Little Evil God]. We do contracts with clients, venture capital, side hustles, seeking massive returns, spicy stuff.
Ultimately reverse refine law, become [Pirated.Pale Great Law (Anti-Law Local Network)], within one’s own [Law (Anti-Law)] scope, become a ‘little heavenly dao’, making countless [Anti-Law Clients] like the [Law System], selflessly dedicate everything to oneself.
Compared to the [Holy Light System] of ‘casting from 1 seal step by step’, the [Anti-Law System] full of pie-in-the-sky promises made Yuan Zhu even more delighted and loving.
Even knowing these are all fake, the emotional value is maxed out! Filling ‘this demon god’ with uplifting vigor to struggle for himself.
……
Yuan Zhu: “Let me read the [Beginner Tutorial] first.”
Snake Snake came over, reading the [Anti-Law.Basic Common Sense] obtained from the ‘unknown place’ together with Yuan Zhu, and exclaimed in amazement: “This [Anti-Law] really doesn’t suck, I already have a thousand Ponzi ideas.”
Yuan Zhu hurriedly warned: “Don’t think like that! We are [Benevolent God].”
Snake Snake showed a pained compromise: “I’ll try to restrain myself.”
As his own [Anti-Law] continuously formed, deepening the connection with [Pollution Root.Tiger Demon], a new instinctive urging and inquiry was born in his heart.
At this moment, his [Anti-Law] actively inquired the soul: how much of the [Pollution Root] to allocate as the initial [Anti-Law Fund Pool]?
After brief communication with the [Anti-Law Database], Yuan Zhu realized that [Anti-Law Masters]’ states are bizarre and varied, so even with the same name [Anti-Law], their operating models are completely different.
[Anti-Law Masters] have varying degrees of control over their [Pollution Root].
Some [Anti-Law Masters] anchor their ‘father or elder’ as [Pollution Root], with [Anti-Law] just a tool for inheriting heritage. How much ‘initial capital’ they get depends entirely on the superior’s reward. The [Anti-Law Master] themselves has no right to decide.
Additionally, there is a type of anti-law master who is purely a tool person. For example, any ‘Archangel’ from the [Holy Church] suddenly takes interest in the [Space of Gods], wanting to play a couple rounds, get involved. Not wanting to pay too much for it, they go open [Three Phases], just for an [Anti-Law Alt]?
Thus, the angel boss arranges for their subordinate to hold the [Three-Phase Ritual], open an [Anti-Law Alt], anchor me as [Pollution Root], grant you initial capital, nurture you into an [Anti-Law Demon God], infiltrate the [Space of Gods] internals, invade more [Bubble Worlds], spread my [Exclusive Holy Light]!
This kind of puppet tool person, even if they fully privatize massive [Holy Light Pollution] through [Anti-Law]. But as the angel’s puppet underling, do they really dare to act on their own?
Ambitious ones might go solo in ‘Bubble Worlds’ via [Space of Gods], establish their own faction; cowardly weaklings might even reverse-offer the [Anti-Law.X Light] they’ve harvested and accumulated back to their ‘angel boss’.
And this Archangel indirectly controls an [Anti-Law Demon God] acting as a mole in the [Space of Gods]!
“Hmm…”
Yuan Zhu rubbed his chin, guessing: “Snake Snake, do you think [Mao Mao King] might be some big shot’s agent demon god inserted into the [Space of Gods]? Otherwise, why is she so lax? Even I as an employee can’t stand it.”
Snake Snake: “Not impossible.”
Due to various different birth reasons, [Anti-Law Masters] won’t necessarily inject 100% of their [Pollution Root] into their own [Anti-Law].
For example, Yuan Zhu is like this; once he makes 100% of [Tiger Demon] into [Anti-Law.Shadow]’s meat weapon, even the [Boss Template] can’t resist the [Anti-Law System]’s persecution, ultimately causing [Tiger Demon Stance] to be completely scrapped. Human Yuan Zhu starts with a massive ‘shadow fund pool’ but can’t use a single bit of [Innate Divine Ability], pure stupidity.
Snake Snake suddenly spoke: “Oh? I found the [Anti-Law.Capital Injection Rules]. Inject into [Anti-Law] in units of 1% of the [Pollution Root], and select the transaction scale of the anti-law contract.”
Under Little Spicy Stick’s guidance, Yuan Zhu found the document it had organized.
Yuan Zhu’s current [Anti-Law] is in the initial stage; no matter how much share of the [Pollution Source] it occupies, his [Anti-Law] can open at most 10 trading groups, each group accommodating up to 5 trading targets.
In other words, Yuan Zhu’s current stage [Anti-Law] can handle at most 50 clients? Any more exceeds the [Anti-Law]’s contract limit.
Additionally, he as the master must occupy 1% share of the [Origin] for every group opened in his own [Anti-Law]. Reflected on [Tiger Demon], it equals permanently occupying 1% of Tiger Demon’s [Mana Bar + Health Bar], 1% strength.
If Yuan Zhu opens 10 trading groups in the [Anti-Law], [Tiger Demon] won’t weaken, but 10% of its mana bar, health bar, and max strength will be occupied, turning gray, no longer usable.
No matter what, it’s 90% power, 90% health, 90% mana bar… 90% is the limit.
Yuan Zhu was both puzzled and annoyed: “What’s going on here?”
Snake Snake calmly said: “All [Anti-Law] are like this, equivalent to ‘collateral’ in Earth capital operations. Only by recharging 10% of [Tiger Demon (Origin)] into the [Anti-Law System] can your [Anti-Law] open 10 trading groups for ‘capital operations’. Less collateral means fewer trading groups, fewer contracts, less revenue…”
Although annoyed, he roughly grasped the [Anti-Law]’s operating model. This system is after all [Reverse Refining Great Law]; though this 10% [Tiger Demon] theoretically becomes the starting capital of [Anti-Law.Shadow], representing the [Anti-Law]’s binding strength.
But from another angle, it’s like Yuan Zhu used 10% of [Tiger Demon] to cultivate [Law System]; though still held by himself, the ‘ownership’ is mortgaged to the [Pale Great Law].
In the distant future, once [Anti-Law.Shadow] goes bankrupt and collapses, this 10% proliferated massive ‘shadow fund pool’ will first be variously split within the [Anti-Law System]; whatever can’t be split clean will ultimately be confiscated and swallowed by the [Pale Great Law].
If impatient, [Law System]’s justice warriors will group up to storm the [Anti-Law System], directly kill the [Anti-Law Master] and liquidate assets (confiscate everything).
Snake Snake: “Boss, how much [Tiger Demon] do we mortgage? More mortgage means stronger [Law], but [Tiger Demon]’s specs get occupied, strength declines. From another angle, the harder we use [Anti-Law] to dig at [Immortal Scripture]’s corner; means more ‘assets’ transferred to [Anti-Law System (Pale Great Law)], though [Immortal Scripture] can’t recover it, higher chance of being sacrificed and handed over? Loss!”
Yuan Zhu: “Indeed can’t rush the transfer, try first. Inject 1% of Tiger Demon, or 5%, or 10%?”
Current [Anti-Law] max opens 10 groups, theoretically can sacrifice the entire [Boss Template], each group with 10% [Tiger Demon] origin.
But doing so is undoubtedly the dumbest.
At minimum 1 group 1%, then 10 groups need occupying [Tiger Demon 10%], this is the upper limit Yuan Zhu can accept.
Lower limit, just minimum 1%, open 1 group, max 5 people.
Doing this undoubtedly wastes all [Anti-Law]’s proliferation potential. He did [Three Phases], then [Anti-Law], and finally mortgage [Tiger Demon], just to sign 5 people?
Snake Snake: “How about starting from 5%? Open 5 trading groups first, see differences between groups?”
Yuan Zhu hesitated a bit; this way, his [Tiger Demon Stance] would forever only have 95% power. Having 100% strength but capped at 95%…
“Remember to remind me later to sign up for a ‘erhu learning class’.”
As [Anti-Law] grows bigger and stronger, he’s destined to learn from Wuming, walking the path of ‘low health pulling erhu’ with no return.
Snake Snake comforted: “Actually boss, no need to be so pessimistic; now we’ve occupied 10% of [Tiger Demon]’s origin. But [Anti-Law]’s purpose is proliferation and making money; when this 10% earns double or even 10 times profit later, casually withdraw double revenue, lend to [Tiger Demon], won’t you burst with 110% power, rampaging everywhere?”
“And due to [Human (Tiger) Demon One Body], the shadow pollution lent to Tiger Demon doesn’t need repaying! Infinite lending, until immortal scripture old man fakes corpse, sends a heaven-shocking gift, making it compensate itself to us!”
“Hmm…”
Yuan Zhu, who originally had a bit of melancholy, instantly relaxed. Forgot he can also sign contracts with himself.
“Decided, open 5 groups first.”
Soon, the [Great Desolation Immortal Scripture] issued another warning; 5% of [Boss Template]’s potential, mana bar, health bar mysteriously locked. Meanwhile, doesn’t affect normal use of the six ‘innate divine abilities’, e.g., [Claw]’s attack power, [Ghost Companion]’s capacity share… all 100%, not weakened.
Next, in the human stance [Immortal Scripture.Client], inside the second panel [Anti-Law.Shadow], five parallel ‘sub-panels’ appeared, like five blank folders, waiting to collect [Anti-Law Contracts].
Yuan Zhu silently perceived this ‘dataized shadow’ [Anti-Law], suddenly saying: “I seem to have some comprehension of [Law]’s power?”
His [Anti-Law] weaves ‘shadow pollution’ into [Anti-Law] similar to [Law] and trades it to different target clients, helping them gain supernatural power.
He is now like [Bankrupt Version.Mao Mao King], using [Shadow Pollution] to replace [Uniform], seducing more ordinary people without potential. Worst case, trick them into unleashing self-restraints, crazily proliferating ‘shadow pollution’ in body, hundred day ascension, instant death.
This way, he can recover the deceased’s heritage through [Anti-Law], make a small profit.
Snake Snake: “This is evil god behavior, but won’t affect your faction. As long as interest rate doesn’t exceed 50%, all is allowed.”
Yuan Zhu greatly praised: “This [Anti-Law] is truly just! Sticking to the bottom line, so holy!”
