Ten thousand I am across the heavens
Chapter 2558 The Power of Time
If the Ghostly Demon Lord possessed complete memories of the past, it would be easy for him to convince his past self. This is because future knowledge is systematic; if he could fully articulate this system, it would be easy to prove its correctness. This isn't something that can be fabricated out of thin air; it requires a vast amount of time and immense human and material resources to develop.
Furthermore, the plausibility of his series of future projections further supports his conjecture, allowing the past Ghost Demon Lord to believe him.
Having witnessed the sheer power of the future's killing move, the past Ghost Demon Lord was beginning to believe in his future self. However, because the other self didn't carry his complete memories, he still harbored a lingering suspicion: the deleted portion of his memories was intentionally removed for some reason, rather than being due to the limitations of the killing move itself, as his future self claimed—that it couldn't be brought over, or was lost during the process of bringing it over.
This lost memory likely signifies the existence of a conspiracy. As for what that conspiracy might be, it's difficult for him, living in the past, to discern. The person who knows him best is himself; his future self knows his thoughts and weaknesses perfectly. If it truly is his future self plotting against his past self, then theoretically, he has no recourse; any attempt to resist will be completely outmaneuvered.
The Ghostly Demon Lord could only temporarily accept the premise that the information from the future was incomplete. Under this premise, he would try his best to learn the knowledge brought by the future, and if possible, understand the underlying principles. However, he didn't hold out much hope. Many of the killing techniques he currently possessed already lacked a clear understanding of their underlying principles. Since the future was a far more advanced era than the present, figuring out the principles behind future killing techniques would undoubtedly be much more difficult. Perhaps even people from that future era wouldn't be able to understand them, let alone him.
Indeed, even in highly developed civilizations, not everyone can fully understand the operating principles of every technological product they encounter in daily life; at most, they have a general idea. Just like modern people in the 21st century, even if they know the general principles of how electronic products work, it's impossible for them to explain the function of each component and why it works the way it does. Only professionals in the relevant industries can possibly understand these things.
As a product created by people from the past facing the future, don't even think about figuring out the detailed principles behind it; it's good enough if you can figure out how to use it.
The former Ghostly Demon Lord first taught the mortals he raised, step by step, the killer moves he would later use. Only after confirming that these moves wouldn't harm them did he begin to learn them himself.
After trying them out himself, he discovered that these deadly moves actually enhanced his strength when used on him. Clearly, these seemingly unsophisticated moves could be combined to form a cohesive system.
Just like the most basic shield parry, it's hardly effective in combat at his level. However, the force transmission system built within his body for this deadly move can be applied to a series of subsequent defensive attacks. It adds an extra layer of skeleton to his body, allowing it to transmit and buffer any kinetic energy impact from the outside, and like a spring storing energy, it accumulates these kinetic impacts.
This often means that even a powerful opponent of the same level is helpless against him. Almost everything that could strike him would be absorbed and stored within him, or even released in return.
The other killing moves complement each other. None of them reach the level of a celestial killing move. However, their effects overlap and combine to subtly form an incredibly complex super killing move.
"This thing is pretty amazing! I feel that even without becoming an immortal, if I really mastered this whole set of techniques, I could possess combat abilities no less than those of an immortal." The Ghostly Demon Lord of the past now completely believed his future self's claim that he could easily capture the other six-turn immortals alive.
This set of killer moves, which significantly boosted his overall strength, enabled him to solo some not-so-powerful seventh-tier cultivators. Logically, capturing one or two not-so-powerful sixth-tier cultivators should have been a piece of cake. She also changed her original plan. Although she had some faith in her future self, the experiment still needed to be conducted.
He still planned to capture the unfortunate fellow as before. However, having undergone a complete transformation, his requirements for the captured individual had become much stricter.
First and foremost, strength, ability, and temperament must all be as weak as possible. At the same level of ability, the power one can unleash should be as weak as possible. This is to ensure that even after he learns the immortal killing techniques I want him to learn, he will still be powerless to resist.
Judging from his own transformation, the unfortunate soul he captured, if he truly learned the immortal techniques from the future, would definitely also undergo a complete transformation. His future self has never lied to him so far. This likely means that after learning the future immortal techniques, the captured soul could very well surpass him in strength in an instant.
Therefore, in addition to capturing the weak and unlucky ones, we also need to consider how many restrictions to place on the captured unlucky ones.
First, you must extract as much of your immortal essence as possible, leaving only a tiny bit to barely sustain the operation of your killing move.
He would plant self-destructing Gu worms inside the immortal apertures, and the same on the body. He would also plant various curses to ensure that he could instantly obliterate any resistance shown. If possible, he would even use mental control and psychological suggestion. His expertise in soul-related restrictions was even greater; he would need to place layers of shackles on the souls of the unfortunate victims he captured.
But according to his future self, even with such strict restrictions, it's not guaranteed that they can completely prevent the opponent from going all-out. Just like the killing move he's now learned. This future-derived move can comprehensively and flawlessly enhance a person's abilities, even if this enhancement is merely a byproduct of the move itself. It's still enough to overwhelm the technology of this era.
Regardless, catching this unfortunate fellow is the most urgent task right now.
