Chapter 97: [anti-law Ruler] And [instigator]
After comparing Industrial God and Anti-Law God in his mind, Yuan Zhu curiously asked: “What about the great Mao Mao King? Is she an Industrial God? Or an Anti-Law God?”
From Luxury Children’s Wear perspective, Mao Mao King is solidly an ‘Industrial God’; but Space of Gods was created by a group of Anti-Law God Demons, and being able to establish a Happy Home here means she must be an ‘Anti-Law God’. Zhou Chu has always been shouting about ‘vigilance against Mao Mao King’s Anti-Law trap’.
The Captain countered: “Why can’t she be both? Is it difficult to operate an Industrial God Kingdom with Anti-Law? Anti-Law, like Law, encompasses everything and tolerates everything. You can naturally operate that Disease Garden through Anti-Law, isn’t that what you want?”
In the Captain’s mind, Yuan Zhu likely discovered a fallen ‘Disease Demon God’ remnant in that Disease Garden. Such innate ‘Demon God corpse’, if refined and controlled, would be extremely suitable as an Anti-Law Origin for operation and lending.
Disease Pollution has high risk and poor reputation, direct control bodes ill for the future; better to hold it indirectly through Anti-Law, enhancing safety. At least 1/3 of Du Ling’s Anti-Law System practitioners started by scavenging corpses. And Yuan Zhu actively chose Holy Light as his foundation system, further confirming his idea.
Who would choose such a lifespan-shortening path? Only if stuffed and burning life for fun? But Yuan Zhu clearly came prepared with clear purpose, using Disease Ash to cast Holy Seal, enhancing resistance and suppression against ‘Disease Pollution’.
And all this… isn’t it to continuously improve ‘Holy Light’s disease resistance, ultimately refining the ‘Disease Demon God remnant’, controlling it, incorporating into Anti-Law, thereby indirectly dominating the highly potential ‘Disease Pollution’, stepping onto the Path to Ascend to Demonhood of Anti-Law God Demon!
As long as he can refine and control the ‘Demon God corpse’, possessing Disease Anti-Law, selling the garden wouldn’t be regrettable. What he gains is a Path to Ascend to Demonhood (Godhood)!
Sell the garden, earn a huge sum of resources and Wealth, rapidly expand his ‘Path to Ascend to Demonhood’ for growth, exchange into strength for survival, resisting the behind-the-scenes ambitious ones.
Ha! Everything makes sense now. This kid has such great Opportunity, such great Ambition! Unfortunately, ‘Disease Pollution’ is too disgusting, he has zero interest in touching it.
In the Captain’s eyes, Yuan Zhu has become a ‘Holy Light System potential newcomer’ on the surface, and underground a ‘Disease System Pollution Evil Demon’ wanted by world’s major organizations. And he will stage a bloody love-hate chase drama with his former Teammate, Investigator Lady. From Du Ling Present World, chasing each other all the way into Bubble Layer… crossing countless spaces and times.
The Captain shook his head fiercely, shaking out these stray thoughts from his mind. These days reading too many romance novels written by Mao Mao King, his brain isn’t quite normal anymore.
Yuan Zhu also didn’t know what bloody scene the Captain imagined? Mistaking him for some Anti-Law: Cough King. But Tiger Demon disdainfully didn’t explain, instead pursued: “So do you think I can step onto the Path of Anti-Law? What are the conditions and restrictions?”
Seeing Yuan Zhu not refuting, the Captain, feeling tacit understanding reached, explained: “Anti-Law has a very high upper limit, but also a very low lower limit. As long as you successfully cast seal, condense a Soul Crystal, you qualify to cultivate a second Supernatural System. And Anti-Law’s minimum requirement is to obtain an independent ‘Supernatural Root (Pollution Source)’ absolutely dominated and controlled by you, using it as the core of your exclusive Anti-Law. At this point, you can operate and grow this ‘Supernatural Power’ through contracts, lending, etc., developing it into your God Demon foundation.”
“Usually those choosing to cultivate Anti-Law are those who have achieved certain success in their fields but have no hope of promotion. They then attempt to blaze a new path to godhood. Like you, after reaching 6 seals in Holy Light System. Gradually feeling lifespan exhausted, potential depleted, ascension to Angel hopeless. You can secretly cultivate an Anti-Law Origin, using your Holy Light System expert identity for cover, secretly acquire resources, cultivate and grow a small sect to nourish Anti-Law. Once Anti-Law is developed properly with god potential, you can completely abandon Holy Light System, switch focus, and complete ascension as an Anti-Law Demon God.”
“If Anti-Law investment fails, decisively abandon or sell the Anti-Law System to someone else to take over. Exchange for resources to advance your foundation system further. Of course, some Deities unwilling to be bound by their God System will secretly develop Anti-Law to go solo. Or some powerful God Demon secretly opens an Anti-Law alt account, hiding a backup plan. Half of Space of Gods’ Anti-Law God Demons are big shots’ alts. So I say your idea is correct, but the timing is too early.”
In the Captain’s eyes, Supernatural Cultivators walking the Anti-Law path is perfectly normal. But only quasi God Demon level powerhouses qualify to consider it.
Thus between his words, there emanates a tone advising Yuan Zhu to stay Calmness, not impulsive, don’t rush into Anti-Law System on a whim. Especially throwing into Disease Pollution such evil path, future is pitch black, destined to be a great Demon head ascending to demonhood.
In Yuan Zhu’s eyes, Anti-Law can somewhat be seen as ability users starting their own Entrepreneurship, opening a private Company/studio (private Pollution System).
Holy Church, Kunlun, Buddhism such top-tier big factories, full of internal Gods and Demons, clear promotion routes but positions all taken. High-Ranking difficult, better after gaining certain status, secretly poach company walls, secretly nourish your own Anti-Law, attempt ascension to god + job-hop.
Similarly, there are powerhouses who failed to impact God Demon position, hoping Anti-Law for another comeback. God Demons locked by God System, secretly opening small company for themselves, planning to poach people and job-hop to start anew. And those already big God Demons, but secretly opening alts, infiltrating enemy God Systems…
After substituting Earth Business mode into thinking, Yuan Zhu instantly comprehended Anti-Law’s various mysteries: Capitalist path!
“So, is the great Mao Mao King also some big shot’s alt?”
Space of Gods is inherently a super base camp of Anti-Law God Demons, half are anonymous alts. No wonder Mao Mao King doesn’t work seriously at all, Happy Home is probably a test-water Anti-Law backup? She has another main job!
The Captain denied for his own Boss: “Not so, Mao Mao King is not anonymous, but openly cultivating Anti-Law: Luxury Children’s Wear, this is an attempt at Business expansion. Outside her original core system, attempting to open a second God Demon path for the God System.”
Yuan Zhu instantly got it.
That is, ‘Demon God Mao Mao King’ received orders from her God System, developing a new Anti-Law path in Space of Gods, opening a new revenue stream for the God System?
So the slacking Mao Mao King chose Luxury Children’s Wear to perfunctorily cope with her God System? This is Du Ling contemporary high-level God Demons’ mental state?
Yuan Zhu thoughtfully: “So, as long as I complete Holy Seal casting, condense Soul Crystal. And obtain a ‘Supernatural Root’, I qualify to side-hustle Anti-Law?”
Captain nodded: “Yes. But I must remind you, Anti-Law is far from as glamorous as you think. Not only high risk, but initial effects very poor, will disappoint you. Anti-Law isn’t for newcomers, only if you’re already God Demon caliber or quasi-god strength, choosing Anti-Law then adds wings. Still that sentence, your chosen ‘timing’ is too early.”
Where is there a 1-seal Anti-Law Master? You probably can’t even beat your own ‘lender’, get counter-killed in minutes, letting them usurp your Anti-Law.
Captain still bitterly advised, but Yuan Zhu unappreciative, instead sincerely: “Thanks for the reminder, Captain.”
After Captain’s pointers, he gained his own Cognition of Anti-Law.
If second generation Industrial God System is like establishing Industry Company on Earth, needing to register Brand Name, Establish a Factory, Investment, produce real Industry, sell goods externally, output Divine Power.
Then after third generation Anti-Law becomes mainstream, directly register a shell Company, not necessarily needing real Industry (Industrial God Kingdom) support, directly leverage increasingly powerful Law System, Anti-Law System super platforms for Asset (Polluting Energy) operation, financial maneuvers, threshold undoubtedly lower.
Just like Earth’s hometown p2p, blockchain, virtual currency… Damn! Thinking this way, no wonder Industrial God System gets iterated out.
I see today’s third generation is the trend too!
Yuan Zhu, who in his previous life on Earth stepped into pits repeatedly, got pitted like a dog, suddenly felt an urge ‘I’ve gotten rained on, so tear Du Ling people’s umbrellas too’!
Anti-Law cultivators’ bound ‘Pollution Root’ is equivalent to a Anti-Law Company’s core Business. Then leverage today’s strongest Law System platform for endorsement, successfully register, start operations for listing.
As long as continuously grow Anti-Law, madly lending, crazily cut leeks, operate properly, can quickly impact ‘Anti-Law Demon God’, achieve Mortal ascending to god miracle.
After becoming Anti-Law God Demon, qualify to seek joining Space of Gods, purchase private Space, ring the bell for listing in Nightmare Bubble Layer, become Space Demon God level like Mao Mao King. Further expand and strengthen.
But similarly, Anti-Law cultivators who explode, bankrupt, die miserably are everywhere. So Captain bitterly advises not to rush, not invest too early into this bitter sea. Bankruptcy exit is minor, body and dao perish is real trouble.
After they die, the ‘Pollution Source’ bound and constrained by Anti-Law will be recycled by Pale Great Law, completing Pale Great Law constraining all world’s ‘Power of Pollution’, forging Du Ling Pale Heavenly Way’s original purpose.
This Logic suddenly makes sense!
Law System through Practitioners positively subduing constraining Pollution, step by step moving mountains, growing ‘Pale Great Law’.
Anti-Law System breeds a group of ‘reverse-refining Law’ Capitalist God Demons, leveraging ‘Pale Great Law’ to turn constrained Pollution into their own use… but when Anti-Law Demon Gods fully fall, their heritage still gets automatically recycled by ‘Pale Great Law’, achieving its ultimate purpose of self-growth.
No wonder Du Ling so chaotic, Innate Pollution Roots one more heaven-defying than the next. Each has Heavenly Dao qualification, mutually involuting vicious competition, leading to constant melee, Pollution Sources stylishly iterating, environment increasingly hazardous. Outer Universe subjugation armies come in batches die in batches, adaptation speed can’t keep up with Pollution evolution iteration speed.
Instead Pale Great Law this acquired man-made Heavenly Dao can rise against the trend, surpassing many ‘Innate Pollution Roots’.
Reason nothing more than Anti-Law proliferation speed too fast, massive ‘small Pollution Sources’ through Anti-Law Master operation, quickly grow strong, impact native Pollution Market… then beaten to death by old-brand ‘Innate Pollution Roots’. After death, either nourish ‘Pollution Root’, or nourish ‘Pale Great Law’s growth.
Ciao!
Stepping onto Anti-Law, must be trembling like walking on thin ice, guarding against both internal and external parts? Not only other Pollution Systems want to kill you, the backing Law System also wants to backstab kill you, to recycle Anti-Law God Demon heritage?
Du Ling is toxic, is there no reliable Cultivation System?
…
“Captain, I still can’t quite figure it. After I cast Holy Seal, condense Soul Crystal, how can I side-hustle Anti-Law? Holy Light and Anti-Law have no relation.”
Captain: “Casting seal and condensing Soul Crystal means you’ve completed entry stage, formally reaching Seed standard. Soul deeply fused with Supernatural System, life level elevated, qualifying to withstand second Pollution System impact. In Du Ling, no matter the system, as long as reaching Seed tier, can side-hustle second system.”
Yuan Zhu: ???
“This is different from what I heard!”
Captain: “What you heard is correct, once choosing to reinforce one Pollution System, no way back. Because your life foundation already transformed by that Pollution. But ‘side-hustle’ is another case, involving Du Ling Planet’s special rule phenomenon called Three-Phase Power.”
“Some say Three-Phase Power is also a Pollution System, others see it as unique Universe Law. Three-Phase Power content: once you complete opening Three Phases ritual, Du Ling Star defaults you can simultaneously cultivate three different Pollution Systems, freely adjust switch primary-secondary relations.”
Yuan Zhu greatly shocked: “What? You mean, completing Three-Phase Power ritual enables three different Supernatural Systems?”
“Yes. But not good, contacting one Pollution already quickly pollutes. Compatible two, pollutes even faster, even mutually promote, strength explodes, spirit bears two different impacts, easier to lose control crash. Simultaneously opening three, everyone genius, Get Stronger like drinking water, death easier than breathing… stronger, die faster.”
Yuan Zhu didn’t believe Du Ling has such cheap thing: “Three-Phase Power ritual very harsh? Very complex?”
“Ritual total Price not exceed 1000 yuan, anyone can open.”
Yuan Zhu full of distrust: “Then what Side Effect? Never seen no Price thing.”
“Once Practitioner completes Three Phases ritual, opens second Supernatural System. Besides two different Pollutions’ oppression and interference on soul, no Side Effect. On contrary, if balance two systems well, mutually promote, complement, also mutually suppress, check, Pollution System becomes more stable. But if can’t resist temptation, open three Pollution Systems, then following Three-Phase Power rules, will spawn something named Instigator.”
“Instigator similar to Buddhism scriptures’ Inner Demon, undying undying, born from three Pollutions Power combining your Soul. It has no power, won’t interfere outside. Except yourself, no one can see hear. Only you, will 24 hours nonstop listen to Instigator’s instigation, harass your mind, influence your judgment. You can only endure.”
Yuan Zhu secretly thought as expected has pit!
“What exactly is this Instigator? Can’t eliminate, can it be shielded?”
Captain shook head: “No, Instigator formless shapeless undying undying, only in your heart, can’t shield can’t drive can’t subdue. Every choosing Three-Phase Power person, after collecting three Pollutions, births their own Instigator, some call it Inner Demon. Everyone’s Instigator personality different, they harass through language, instigate change Practitioner’s mindset thoughts.”
“This process, endless, eternal. Even if your mind will firm as rock, can’t ensure never shaken. Thus choosing Three-Phase Power people, once three phases gather, risk mental imbalance, mind greatly changed. Unless…”
“Unless what?”
Yuan Zhu listened with hair standing on end, this Three-Phase Power entry extremely simple, no Cultivation needed, can side-hustle three Pollution Systems. And 2/3 harmless, but if can’t resist temptation gather three phases, will add a shadow-following never-dissipating, can’t interfere only passively accept influence ‘mental split’ phenomenon. Accompany you, 24 hours constant instigation, eternal life…
At first not feel, but more think, more chilling. Du Ling has such heaven-defying thing?
Captain: “Unless your Instigator innately upright Three Views. No, should be innately consistent with your Three Views, such Instigator will constantly correct your behavior mode, no need worry mind change, Mental Breakdown etc. Even if suffer Mental Attack, fall into illusion, omnipresent undying undying Instigator, will remind you, help you escape.”
Yuan Zhu full disbelief: “This Instigator can be good?”
“Instigator any personality, usually evil, like stirring hearts, creating chaos. But also kind personality, indifferent personality… However even if encounter personality-matching Instigator, but people’s personality thoughts change, even if you and Instigator ever so matching, with time, still produce differences. Then, still constantly influenced by it, twist spirit and thought, fall into loss of control and abnormality, can’t distinguish real and fake, spirit twisted split…”
“Damn! Stop, I’m panicking a bit. No solution?”
Captain shrugged: “Don’t gather three phases. How easy to open Three-Phase Power, how hard to escape Instigator… After opening Three Phases, even soul-level destroy abandon one Pollution System, still can’t escape Instigator. Once appears, never vanishes, only you can see hear, until you thoroughly perish, said Instigator still exists, just no one can observe them anymore.”
“…”
Yuan Zhu inexplicably shivered, how feels like listening to ghost story. Du Ling Supernatural System, more understand more eerie. Once open Three Phases, will have one only you can observe Instigator endlessly harass influence instigate you… Originally already soul-twisted by triple Pollution you, even more mindset greatly changed.
So problem comes, how many of Du Ling’s deep-hidden Gods and Demons are rational and normal? How many driven crazy by Instigator?
