Chapter 181

Chapter 181: Vol2 Ch79: Disaster Authority project

As time went on, practitioners of Spiritual Inception began to call themselves the New Humans . With people who had achieved the second stage of release as their foundation, they formed various organizations while the world eventually stabilized .

Fang Ze’s previous residential area had now completely changed, several huge fleshy cocoon eyeballs were hovering in the sky, being supported by large tentacles .

Negary’s Dragon of Eternal Sin form had finished evolving, the main difference was that it now had two more heads, becoming a three-headed, three-winged western dragon .

Furthermore, after there were enough people who had achieved the second stage of release using Spiritual Inception, he had begun working on the evolution of his soul .

As for the practitioners themselves, after reaching the second stage of release, Disasforce was no longer enough to stimulate their [Origin] at all .

In other words, unless something unexpected happened, these people would be stuck at the second stage of release without being able to improve any further .

This was natural, as the source of Disasforce had already grown considerably weak .

The ‘God’ written within the Apocalypse Stone Tablet, the one who distributed his Authorities among the people and created the Source Pool, was actually referring to the Will of the world . The ‘Will of the world’ here referred to the great collective consciousness derived from every living being and non-living being in this world .

However, because of the Disaster Authority project, the Will of the world had detached a great number of Authorities from itself, thus becoming closer to Alaya, which was the collective subconsciousness of humans .

Disasforce was, in fact, the power that the Will of the world derived from itself . Due to the many timeline resets, this Will had already been mostly drained, the fact that it managed to help so many people achieve the second stage of release was itself a miracle .

The so-called ‘Disaster Authority project’ was a plan that was hatched in the second cycle, then put into action at the beginning of the third cycle to repel the invasion of the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon .

During the second cycle, due to their strength being too non-centralized, a portion of this world’s psychics were away lured by the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon’s promise of conquest, thus betraying the world . The [Origin] of those traitors were taken out from the world, no longer a part of this timeline .

In order to avoid a repeat of this, the Disaster Authority project was launched, converging the Psychic Factors that used to fill this world to create the foundation for the Source Pool .

Originally, in the second cycle, this world used to be a prosperous psychic civilization, where any talented person could easily absorb the Psychic Factors in the air to release their [Origin] and awaken a psychic ability .

During the first cycle, psychics used to live in the shadows and were very few in number, although there were strong powerhouses, they never truly appeared in the public’s eyes until it was too late .

The second cycle could be considered to be a ‘second life’ script . The young An Ping obtained memories of the future, knowing the great calamity that was about to befall them, he actively pushed for the advent of the psychic era, greatly developing science and technology for psychic abilities . At that time, this world’s supernatural civilization was at the peak of its prosperity .

The Apocalypse Stone Tablet, the Disaster Authority project, as well as many other plans were first proposed during this cycle . As the Protagonist of this ‘second life’ script, An Ping was naturally the greatest benefactor, fully confident in becoming the messiah of his world, but lost it all due to the betrayal of a few .

〖 Should I say, as expected of the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon? Playing with betrayal to this degree 〗

Negary silently thought . It was the same in the Flame world as well, their betrayal caused the plans and preparations of the White Light to become faulty, which resulted in everything that followed .

Back then, they were the ones who committed betrayal, but here, they invited others to commit betrayal .

Regardless, to prevent another betrayal, the Disaster Authority project was put into action in the third cycle, all of the world’s Psychic Factors were gathered to create the first form of Disasforce . After that, the Will of the world divided that into Authorities, turning them into the opposition against the source of disasters, which were actually the calamities brought about by the invasion of another world .

And in the end, they would be converged under the Authority of the ‘King of People’, thus successfully rejecting the invaders from entering this world through the combination of all the Authorities .

Indeed, by this point, the world had resorted to only considering how to shut the entryway and prevent the invaders from coming inside . This was one of the reasons why Negary didn’t trust An Ping, even if their plan succeeded, the most they would accomplish was preventing others from entering this world .

There was also the issue of how improbable this plan actually was . The ‘King of People’ during the third cycle was no weaker than the current Fang Ze, or rather, he was actually Fang Ze from the previous life . He would have had to gather all of the world’s powers, repel the invasion and every enemy, only then would he be able to seal off this world .

In that sense, strictly speaking, the invasion of the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon had already begun, but it existed in the other cycles . The timeline might have been reset, but the power of the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon had still managed to infiltrate this world in the previous cycles .

It would be necessary to also repel this invasive power in order to seal the world off .

Knowing this, Negary would be a fool to believe a single word of An Ping’s plan . Even if they actually won, their victory would essentially cause the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon no damage . In fact, Negary was sure that when it was time for him to use [Otherworld Invasion] with the aid from the Will of the world, his travel might even be intercepted by the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon .

After all, the only thing that happened was that the gate was slammed shut in their faces, would Negary be so naïve to think that the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon would simply leave this world after they were shut out?

During the conception of the Disaster Authority project in the third cycle, several people greatly contributed their wits and efforts, Lan Shan being one of them . In fact, she was one of the few who achieved the third stage of release, and it was she who perfected the abilities related to the [Super Plague] Authority .

It was for that reason that she became the initial Authority Holder of [Super Plague] during this fourth cycle .

Quite unbelievably, such a feeble little girl managed to mature enough to become an entity who achieved the third stage of release at the end of the previous cycle . Nothing could be said except that the world worked in strange and mysterious ways .

Putting the documents related to the Disaster Authority project down, Negary had various thoughts circulating in his mind .

〖 The temporal resets did not actually alter the [Origin], it had only made it return to an unreleased state, the only thing that was reset was the soul 〗

Negary pondered this fact: this situation implied that the [Origin], to a certain extent, surpassed even the timeline of an individual world .

Negary then thought of a certain technique that An Ping surrendered to him . The main use of this technique was to ‘cast’ the information recorded within the soul into the [Origin] .

〖 The Reflective Cast Technique, a technique that An Ping and the rest relied on in order to accumulate the knowledge and technology from the previous cycles 〗

It was similar to the transmigration technique that Negary knew from long ago, but there were also differences .

〖 The fact that they surrendered this technique so easily was probably because they know about me not having an [Origin] 〗Negary nonchalantly tossed this technique aside, clearly uninterested .

Although they claimed to have surrendered all of their knowledge, Negary knew for a fact that they would withhold a certain portion . For example, information regarding that seemingly useful but was actually useless Apocalypse Stone Tablet .

On a surface level, it was essentially just a way to manifest ‘destiny’, but from how Yu Guang Ming from the previous cycle appeared, Negary knew for a fact that it wouldn’t be as simple as a method to record ‘destiny’ .

Lan Shan was standing next to him; a faint golden gleam seemed to be flickering in her eyes .

〖 Since that’s the case, let me accept their offer and play with them a little bit 〗Negary pondered to himself: 〖 I still need a little bit of time 〗

Chapter 182: 182

Chapter 182: Vol2 Ch80: The Path of Error

〖 Before we agree to cooperate, I need some clear confirmation 〗Negary said as he looked at the people in front of him: 〖 Even if I successfully help you erect the barrier, without the coordinates of another world, I would still not be able to accomplish an [Otherworld Invasion] and enter another world 〗

“We were the side that offered this, so we have naturally made the preparations” An Ping replied .

“To be honest, during the second cycle, we had considered the option of moving the entire world, as well as calling for reinforcements” a beautiful woman spoke up: “At the time, the will of the world had provided us access to its information database, which contained the coordinates of other worlds”

“That world is similar to a planet that moves in a set orbit, constantly moving through space . In the 4 . 6 billion years of our world’s history, that world had followed its orbit and passed by this world a total of three times” a middle-aged man pondered a bit and followed up .

“Our two worlds had once exchanged information, through which we obtained the coordinates of that world” another old man explained: “Through the temporal differences and the information we have, we can calculate the world orbit and its current coordinates”

〖 Is that so? 〗Negary chuckled .

This old man was the Disaster King of [Planetary Core’s Shift] . The [Planetary Core’s Shift] in question was a periodic shift of the Earth’s magnetic field, which could also be triggered through external forces . Before the shift, the Earth’s rotation around itself would gradually grind to a halt, which would permanently alter the terrestrial magnetic poles of the Earth . This alteration would result in the rapid expansion of the Atlantic Ocean and rapid compression of the Pacific Tectonic Belt, thus forever affecting the face of the Earth .

This would cause extreme weather conditions . Due to the gradual stop of the Earth’s self-rotation, long periods of day and night would occur, resulting in the melting and refreezing of the new polar ice caps, as well as the shifting of the tectonic plates, thus giving birth to [Continental Sinking] .

In the determined order, he was the Disaster King who was born after [War], called Yake Toth .

The middle-aged man was the Disaster King of [Great Flood], called Fang Shu Nan, who was born at almost the same time as Seven of [Continental Sinking] and used to be a soldier . The Yue Bu earthquake greatly affected the terrestrial landscape, which caused a giant tsunami; as one of the anti-flood army, he and his comrades at the time leapt into the way of the tsunami as a last resort, using themselves as human dams .

The beautiful woman was the Disaster King of [Solar Storm], or rather, the second Holder of [Solar Storm], called Xue Xin Yun . Her predecessor was killed in an assassination in 2012, which caused a huge solar flare disaster . At the time, An Ping used [Temporal Displacement] to make the solar flare marginally miss the Earth, during which she inherited the Disaster King Authority .

In summary, out of the 10 Disaster Kings, other than [Heaven Collapse] and the newly born [Order Collapse] who was still getting used to his current state, Negary had met them all .

The Disaster King of [Heaven Collapse] had his place completely switched by the messed-up timeline . The originally final Disaster King [Temporal Collapse] was actually the first to be born, while the one who was supposed to first, [Heaven Collapse], was currently still unborn .

Through reading the documents they provided, Negary also understood what kind of disaster [Heaven Collapse] was supposed to be, it was actually referring to the state in which the gate to this world was broken through and its current sealed state being completely gone .

Once this Disaster King was born, it would also represent the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon breaking free of the seals of time and space, which would also be the advent of the Apocalypse on this world .

And this time, the world would no longer have a way out . The will of the world didn’t have the strength to actually reset the timeline again, they would either need to chase the enemy out of this world or be conquered, after which their people would be turned into soldiers for the enemy and the world’s [Origin] would get sucked dry, turning this into a dried-up dead planet .

〖 Then let us get into the specific negotiations 〗Negary smiled: 〖 I can help you build the so-called Path of Error, but I want to leave immediately after it is constructed 〗

“That cannot be done, your excellency Wang Yuan” An Ping replied: “Without your excellency’s ‘error’ property to organize the defensive arrays, the constructed Path of Error would be greatly weakened”

〖 Because of that, I will have to take control of the Path of Error and fight against the power of the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon directly? 〗Negary questioned in return . He didn’t find this result to be surprising at all, if he could simply leave after constructing the Path of Error, there would have been no need for them to try and take control of him in the first place, directly going into negotiations would have been the best choice .

〖 Then, can you guarantee that if you actually succeed, the will of the world would still have enough strength to transfer me to another world? 〗Negary openly pointed out their machinations: 〖 At that time, the world itself would be sealed off, and there would be nothing I could say about remaining in this world 〗

〖 Do not mention the contract with me, because a contract can be ripped apart as easily as any other piece of paper . At that time, it would be hard to say whether or not you lot are still alive 〗Negary clearly laid out the issues between them .

Following that, the two sides negotiated and haggled over numerous points before finally reaching a reluctant consensus .

Negary would aid in the construction of the defensive array for the Path of Error, while the world coordinates must be given to him in advance . Only after the invaders had begun their attack and their side had fended them off enough could the Source Pool’s Authority be handed over to Negary .

This negotiation ended a lot quicker than originally expected, after all, An Ping’s group had no other choice, and Negary himself didn’t have much of a choice at all either .

The Source Pool was the will of the world’s pool of power, as long as they knew how to, any Authority Holder had the authority to access it and utilize the [Origin] power of the will of the world, which was also where all Disasforce was derived from . Negary’s current Disasforce level had reached Disaster King, and he had also learnt of the way to access the Source Pool from the leather jacket man, but he doesn’t have the access authority .

Regardless of how much he tried, he couldn’t access the Source Pool, simply because he hadn’t been granted the authority from the will of the world . By borrowing the [Origin] power within, Negary would be able to use the [Otherworld Invasion] Authority and the coordinates of another world in order to directly transfer himself to another world .

After this negotiation that didn’t have any binding power concluded, the construction of the Path of Error began .

The so-called Path of Error was actually a means devised to specifically repel the power of the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon . Negary’s ‘error’ property would be used as its foundation, the [Otherworld Invasion] Authority as its skeleton, the people infected by Negary would also be used by borrowing their powers as the flesh and blood, all of which would form the complete defensive array .

As the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon begin their invasion, the first thing to happen would always be their power infiltrating this world, thus paralyzing over half of the world’s natural defensive mechanisms, before opening the gate to this world from the inside .

Since Negary’s ‘error’ power actually had a certain level of common origin with the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon, both properties were exploited in the Path of Error .

The presence of a power with the common origin that specifically had the ‘error’ property would confuse the infiltrating powers of the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon, allowing the defensive mechanisms to still be usable . When the invaders come in with these defensive mechanisms still usable, they would essentially have the home field advantage; by converging all of the world’s power like before, it should be possible to chase the invaders away .

That wasn’t their entire plan, as they surely had other trump cards to use against the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon, but that had no relations to Negary .

Various structures of mixed biological and mechanical nature were being built all over the world, this would be the foundation for the Path of Error, and Negary had obtained the otherworld coordinates .
