Chapter 55 Impermanence, Bloodshed, Eternity, Paradox, and Distortion of the Heavenly Scripture
Bai Zhe separated a wisp of his divine sense, standing with the other gods on the distant horizon, their gazes fixed on Dongfang Jingyun's path to immortality. They remained silent, observing intently at the hero Bai Zhe had once "created."
Every step Dongfang Jingyun took was accompanied by pain and struggle to the limit, until that moment—when he finally surpassed the limits of ordinary people and completely stepped onto the path of immortals.
The gods gazed upon all this, remaining silent.
They witnessed the immense suffering and pain that Dongfang Jingyun endured, and how he achieved divinity through boundless self-sacrifice. The sheer power and unwavering resolve of his spirit and will deeply moved almost everyone who witnessed it.
Neptune, the god of the sea, suddenly laughed out loud: "So, this is the hero who fought the god of life to a standstill?"
His emphasis was on "evenly matched" and "heroes," which was full of sarcasm.
However, the voice of Jupiter, the god of the sky, was filled with deep contemplation and a detached irony: "More importantly, Dongfang Jingyun completely disregarded Bai Zhe's words. Not only did he not follow any guidance, but he was also completely unbound by any authority. You once thought he was a pawn you created, but you've discovered that he is the kind of being who breaks the rules and transcends boundaries." Jupiter's tone carried a hint of both criticism and admiration, as if he had already foreseen Bai Zhe's inability to control Dongfang Jingyun.
"How could this happen?" Bai Zhe muttered to himself.
The mockery and contempt in the myths made Bai Zhe's face burn even more, feeling that he had completely lost face.
"Okay, fine, I admit it, my plan failed." Bai Zhe muttered to himself, barely managing to save face and pretending to be nonchalant. "It's just a minor setback; everyone makes mistakes sometimes."
However, Bai Zhe quickly adjusted his mindset again: "Hmph, don't be impatient. It's still unknown who will have the last laugh. Although everyone is watching Dongfang Jingyun perfect his path to immortality, I gave him the power to survive, I gave him the position of hero, and I personally taught him his most prized Three Deadly Barriers and Three Calamities of Suffering and Calamity. My gains from this observation will far exceed those of other gods."
"Hahaha, who says we have to rely on the old methods? I, Bai Zhe, even if I fail, I can still gain new opportunities." Bai Zhe suddenly understood the essence of miracles from the vast amount of high-dimensional knowledge that emanated from Dongfang Jingyun at the moment of his ascension to godhood. He laughed heartily, his tone once again filled with confidence: "I understand, I finally understand! This is the power of miracles and hope, the miracle that distorts reality, the hope that interferes with reality, this impermanent blood calamity, eternally rebellious and distorting the heavenly scripture, hahahaha, I have it all under control, I have it all under control!"
After returning to the Divine Court of Creation, Bai Zhe went into seclusion to perfect the "Impermanent Blood Calamity Eternal Rebellion Twisted Heavenly Scripture." This scripture incorporated the technique used by Dongfang Jingyun during his godhood to integrate a part of another into his own body, giving Bai Zhe an elevated level of mastery over the "Power of Twisted Reality."
At this moment, Bai Zhe's expectations for his Black Goat clan grew stronger, having learned a profound lesson from the Silvermoon Guardians' failure. While the Silvermoon Guardians' reality-distorting power perfectly protected them, shielding them from external threats to a certain extent, this self-enclosed power also prevented them from transcending their current reality and undergoing a qualitative transformation.
In other words, the Silvermoon Guardians' existence is fixed on a specific trajectory; their power only advances while protecting, rather than experiencing breakthrough growth. Bai Zhe, on the other hand, understands that for an entity to truly break through its limits, it must possess openness and unlimited room for development.
Thus, the transformation of the Black Goat became Bai Zhe's new breakthrough. He decided to further enhance the power of reality distortion, making the Black Goat's life form more varied and adaptable. The Black Goat was no longer a fixed entity, but rather an open platform, a reality distortion entity that could constantly change, adapt, and evolve.
Every known method of attack in this world, whether physical, mental, or even erosion by the power of laws, leaves traces and connections. The information structure of the attack itself and the attacker's own information structure are detached from the attack and incorporated into the Black Goat's warped reality system. Gradually, the Black Goat absorbs this information, transforms its power, and becomes accustomed to the distorted reality effects of these attacks.
As time goes by, the attacker not only loses the effectiveness of his attack, but is also devoured by the power of the Black Goat. He is completely incorporated into the Black Goat's "reality" and gradually falls into a state of assimilation and inability to resist.
Bai Zhe felt immense satisfaction with all of this. He could sense that, after being equipped with the Unpredictable Blood Calamity Eternal Rebellion Twisted Heavenly Scripture, the Black Goat was rapidly evolving into an unparalleled being. It was no longer a mere attack machine, but a life form capable of constantly adapting, changing, and evolving. Every attack was an accumulation of its power to interfere with reality, while every counterattack was an opportunity for the Black Goat to further enhance its ability to distort reality.
Bai Zhe can already imagine that in the final stage of evolution, the black goat will merely "exist," and the entire world will converge towards it, revolving endlessly around it.
Bai Zhe's gaze grew increasingly cold, a sneer flashing across his lips: "The Silvermoon Guardians' closed-off nature limits their growth potential; while my Black Goat possesses limitless growth potential."
He chuckled again: "The Silver Moon Federation? It's nothing more than a blood-soaked feast to help the Black Goats cultivate the impermanent blood calamity, eternal rebellion, and distorted heavenly scripture."
