Volume 6 Chapter 20: Three-pronged consciousness

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

With support from a certain someone, this disaster ultimately could not be averted.

The Nanwu Shaman had thoroughly changed her species from a short-lived race to a long-lived one.

Previously, she was an old woman over 100 years old, but among long-lived races, 100 years old was nothing but adolescence.

During her conversion into a new species, the Nanwu Shaman had killed and devoured her own Totem, thus escaping from the world’s influence.

She continued to use her tribe to create constant destruction, bringing disaster to the world and using this disaster aura as a trigger to open a gap in the world’s defenses.

The world’s power could no longer reach her location as easily as before, which made it impossible to create heaven’s tribulation to kill her off. Having no other choice, the world spirit could only use a portion of the world’s operational resources to create a force that counteracted the Nanwu tribe.

Every world naturally had numerous small branching Principles, but the core Principle of the Ancestral Wild was offering and sacrifice, which the world used to digest the raw Source Energy that it absorbed from space. For this reason, while it had Principles relating to disaster, it wasn’t very profound.

This led to the Desolate Sacrifice world’s spirit being unable to punish the Nanwu tribe who used disaster aura despite commanding the world’s disaster authority.

However, as the Desolate Sacrifice world’s spirit focused itself on calculating the bigger picture as a whole, it felt puzzled. Since the enemy was an Evil God who commanded disasters, it was natural for the other party to have an understanding of disasters surpassing that of the world spirit, but this place was still the Desolate Sacrifice world.

All matters within the Desolate Sacrifice world must follow its basic rules, so how could the other party’s Principles of disaster adapt to the world so rapidly that they managed to make a Shaman, an individual with tight relations to the world, lose control within the short span of a month?

This wasn’t something that could be achieved by an Evil God who had not manifested their Pathway, so the only explanation would be that the Evil God had a large amount of the Desolate Sacrifice world’s data that allowed him to adapt his Principles and Ideals to the world.

Then, how did that Evil God get this data?

‘A living being of this world must have leaked it…’

Or ‘That Evil God has a unique means to extract the world’s information…’

Or ‘The world’s operation originally had a loophole relating to the domain of Disaster…’

Without any data to draw from, the world spirit was stuck on this question. A systematic world spirit would definitely not use subjective emotions and feelings to judge something. All of its conclusions must be drawn from existing data, so it was unable to produce an answer.

At the same time, some irregularities began to occur within the world spirit as a portion of its consciousness was starting to change under the subconscious influence of the collective Desolates of the world.

Everything within a world, except the living beings’ [Origins], was unified, which made it possible for every individual soul to influence the world. For this reason, even if every individual living being had their own personality and consciousness, they also had a collective consciousness called Alaya.

Previously, the Desolates were only a species of living beings that had the absolute advantage over others, so their collective consciousness didn’t have a lot of influence on the world spirit as a whole.

But ever since Negary’s information stimulated the world’s cycle of reincarnation and gained the possibility of replacing the world spirit, he caused the world spirit to gradually recognize its sense of ‘self’. A particular portion of the world spirit had been much more severely influenced compared to the rest and gradually gained its own sense of ‘self’ as well.

Due to the domino effect caused by Negary’s appearance and the Lord of Disaster’s disturbance, when this portion of the world spirit got stuck on a logic trap, it gradually fused with the collective subconsciousness of the Desolates and became fully personified as the Desolates’ Alaya.

And so, the Desolate Sacrifice world’s spirit was divided into three parts.

The first part was the Desolates’ Alaya – the Desolate spirit which was mostly dedicated to controlling the Desolates’ collective subconsciousness. It held the majority of the world’s authority, but these authorities were no longer absolute. Additionally, it held control over the [Protagonist].

The second part was the foundational world spirit that maintained the world’s operation. After the Desolates’ collective subconsciousness had been separated, it once again no longer had a sense of self and veered completely to the side of chaos.

It was the basic consciousness created from the world’s systematic operation, which held the foundational authority over all of the world’s systems, which it could use to take over the Desolates’ collective subconsciousness’ authorities.

And the final part was naturally Negary, who could be considered to be the Celestial’s Alaya at the moment. He commanded very few authorities, but the Celestials’ competitive strength far surpassed those of the Desolates; and ever since the Desolate spirit became independent, Negary had begun to deprive its authorities.

Some of the foundational authorities relating to the Principles and Ideals that Negary comprehended had begun to be taken away, so it wouldn’t take very long for him to take that entire portion of authority for himself.

At the moment, the Desolate spirit had the advantage, but from the foreseeable future, Negary would only gain a greater and greater advantage, leading to the only pivot point left for the Desolate spirit to be the [Protagonist].

「 It was definitely Negary who leaked information to that Evil God, and only he has reasons to do so 」

After separating from the world’s operating system, the Desolate spirit was easily able to draw this conclusion using the wisdom of countless Desolate generations. Regretfully, he had no proof of this, as Negary had not shown any signs of communicating with the outside world, nor as any of his subordinates brought any of the world’s core data outside.

〖 Tch, so it finally became personified 〗Negary observed the world spirit’s changes.

If the other party hadn’t become personified, it would have been much harder for Negary to take over the Desolate Sacrifice world in this manner. Frankly speaking, all of his efforts so far had been to force the world spirit to become personified.

〖 Of course, it will also be a lot more challenging from this point on 〗

After the Desolate spirit manifested, he would be able to utilize his authority much more freely and flexibly.

For example, the natural energy of the world within the Celestials’ territory was gradually flowing towards the Desolates’ territory, including the life forces within. In the past, when the world spirit still operated with the entire world’s benefit as a whole, it would never do such a thing.

The Celestials’ territory was gradually becoming harsher, with the most obvious signs being the horrible wind and rain, after all, the majority of the world’s authority was currently in the Desolate spirit’s hands.

Of course, there was also a price for doing this, which was a worse impression from the foundational world spirit’s perspective. If this continued, the Desolate spirit’s grasp of this authority would gradually wane as it was transferred to the foundational world spirit.

Of course, the Desolate spirit also recognized this, but he had no choice but to do this as he could not suppress the Celestial’s growth. By sacrificing his future benefits to boost their current strength, the Desolates would be able to destroy the Celestials in their upcoming final battle. At that point, he could use the [Protagonist] to digest everything within the Celestial’s civilization and use it to help the Desolates evolve.

This was the most accurate decision as calculated by the Desolate spirit through numerous data.

As for the various details on how to use the [Protagonist], that would depend on his own capabilities. At least for now, the [Protagonist] Meng Luo was still a Desolate tightly under the Desolate spirit’s grasp.

…

〖 Make an announcement, initiate the plan to strengthen the nation through science and technology, focus your attention on developing core technologies, just grasping the basic Principles and Ideals are enough. So what if the authorities are in the Desolates’ hands? Even authorities must follow basic rules! 〗Negary’s consciousness surged and cause the entire organization of Celestials to also swiftly leapt into action.

The Celestial’s rate of execution of Negary’s orders was frighteningly high due to them following the same core beliefs. On the contrary, under the Desolate spirit’s control, the alliance of the tribes did not proceed smoothly at all.
