Spellcasting Heavens

tree world...

In a different space located inside the Tree of Chaos, two consciousnesses that have escaped the limitations of their bodies are looking at each other in the form of pure souls.

After a full minute, Zhang Cheng reached out and inserted his hand into the other person's chest, and said in a cold and emotionless tone: It's over! From today on, I am the only me, a truly perfect life.

The only one? No! You are not the only one! At least not yet! I will lurk in your consciousness, waiting patiently for the second chance of resurrection. As long as I firmly believe that I still exist, you will never be able to erase the last mark. The Initiator did not try to resist. Instead, he left a meaningful message at the moment when he was about to disappear.

You think I will give you a second chance? Naive! Under the resonance of the soul, no matter how deeply your last remaining consciousness is hidden, you cannot escape my surveillance. Although I am sorry to say this, I still have to tell you You, you have no future.

After saying that, Zhang Cheng's hand inserted into his chest suddenly released a silvery light.

The next second...

The soul and consciousness of the Initiator suddenly lost their human form and turned into a ball of silver light that slowly merged into Zhang Cheng's body along the arm.

Finally, when the two merged into one, the entire tree world began to change rapidly.

Those originally hazy images became clear at a speed visible to the naked eye. Various animals appeared in the desolate and silent environment at some point, as if the dead world suddenly came to life.

In particular, the huge spiritual power released by the remaining organs of the overlord's corpse has brought infinite spirituality and vitality to the world.

When Zhang Cheng opened his eyes again, the tree world had turned into a real world.

Looking at the vibrant scenery in front of him, he couldn't help but pursed his lips slightly and said to himself: This is the heart that belongs to me after devouring and merging? A perfect world? But unfortunately, it does not match mine at all. Taste. Maybe, a little smaller changes are needed next.”

The words just fell!

The clear sky was suddenly covered with a thick layer of dark clouds, and the green plants on the ground also twisted in a very short period of time, growing into eerie human faces.

As for those animals, they were all dead in less than a minute, replaced by the undead and ghosts born from the corpses.

dark!

evil!

Weird!

It also makes creepy sounds from time to time!

Gazing at the tree world that was rapidly changing under the influence of his own consciousness, Zhang Cheng nodded with satisfaction: Awesome! This is the truest expression of my heart! People who are completely integrated into the darkness do not need false light, let alone We need a so-called peaceful haven.”

Hypocrisy and weakness are common problems of almost all intelligent life, and the inner world is the most direct manifestation of these two weaknesses.

Hypocrisy represents the restraint on the true self. It is the foolish behavior of self-castration in order to cater to group values. By cutting off strong desires and following certain conventional rules, one can avoid becoming an outlier in the group, avoid being persecuted, ostracized, and even trapped in Loneliness and loneliness.

It is essentially a kind of disguise and deception, but when hypocrisy and ethics are mixed together and become a habit, it will completely kill the infinite possibilities in the future and keep a creature firmly within the well-designed framework of the present.

In contrast, although weakness does not have the ability to stifle infinite possibilities like hypocrisy, the danger it causes is no less small.

Because weakness is a self-protection mechanism, and since the most fundamental motivation of life itself is to live, when encountering a powerful enemy or difficulty, the first thing that often comes to mind is not to defeat it, but to avoid it from a distance, thereby ensuring own safety.

From a certain perspective, weakness can allow an intelligent life to stay away from danger, pain and pressure, and survive in a relatively relaxed environment.

After all, ease and comfort are the ideal lives that most ordinary lives pursue.

But unfortunately, Zhang Cheng was destined to miss out on ease and comfort a long time ago. He would either become a loser on the way to the top and fall from the mountainside into the abyss, or he could climb to the top of the mountain and look down at all living beings.

With the belief that he must not fail, he withdrew from the tree world and began to reshape his body to accommodate his soul and consciousness.

At the moment when the shaping was completed, Byron, who had been waiting for a long time, finally couldn't help but asked: Is it all over?

Ah! It's all over! Zhang Cheng nodded lightly.

Then can you tell me who you are? Or, who has a higher proportion of you now? Byron's eyes flashed with curiosity.

I am who I am! Nothing has changed from before! It's just that there is another memory and another way of thinking in my mind. Swallowing and fusion is not like you think, it is acceptance without any choice. , but a kind of filtering and optimization. In this process, I will lose some precious things, but I will also gain some precious things. All of this is to transcend and make myself more perfect.

When saying these words, Zhang Cheng inadvertently revealed a unique temperament, an aura that was completely opposite to his previous performance.

Byron obviously noticed this and continued to ask with interest: I'm a little curious, what did you lose and what did you gain?

Are you inquiring into my privacy? Or do you want to test whether I have achieved the perfection you expect?

Prying into the essence of the soul is a naked provocation to anyone.

Zhang Cheng didn't fall out directly, he was already very calm and restrained.

Hahahaha! Of course not! I have always known that true perfection does not exist. All beings at the pinnacle of evolution, including you and me, can only be infinitely close to perfection, but they can never reach perfection. I just I’m just curious about what kind of new life can be achieved when two souls from parallel universes collide and merge.”

You want to fight with me?

That's right! Only strength is the most intuitive reflection of whether a life is perfect or not.

No! You are wrong! If strength is the most perfect embodiment of life, then what is the use of knowledge and wisdom? Real perfection is the combination of strength and intelligence, and the tempering of spirit, body and soul. Now , I will let you see what perfection is and what real power is...

As the last word blurted out, Zhang Cheng raised his right hand and pressed it on the trunk of the Chaos Tree beside him.
