The peerless black hand that covers the sky

Chapter 1057 Repeated Harvesting, Kidnapping All Beings!
“We can all understand that the purification of the ‘Nine Springs’ is incomplete, unlike true reincarnation. It is destined to contain impurities and evolve into a strange and ominous new form… How could the person whose destiny it is not aware of this?”

"Yet, in order to transcend his own limitations, he continued to spread his own path... This is knowingly committing a crime, and his crime is compounded!"

"However, the person whose fate is sealed is not easy to deal with..."

Ye Fan murmured softly, "Killing him is not difficult. Even though my condition is precarious and I need to use my remaining power to cover my hiding place, as long as one cauldron acts in my place, it will still be enough to suppress and kill him!"

—What are you babbling about? Go tell my Heavenly Emperor Cauldron!

Even though it's just a cauldron, it still possesses the power to awe all living beings in the world who have not yet transcended the cycle of rebirth. Not just anyone can challenge it head-on.

The previous guild... was stubborn, defiant, and tried to stir up trouble.

How is the result?

A massive cauldron descended from the sky, shattering all their resistance!
The wisp of divine thought hidden in the shadows, secretly belonging to the Pollen Emperor, could only watch helplessly as all of this unfolded.

It wasn't that she didn't want to do anything... Although she was just a wisp of her primordial spirit that had broken free of the seal and was wandering outside, her true strength was inferior to that of her original body.

However, it will not be much inferior, and can briefly reproduce its peak combat power!

At her level, she was just one step away from transcendence. As long as she was alive, any kind of blood essence clone or divine thought incarnation could be made almost indistinguishable from the main body if she wished, and she could transfer her combat power.

Only eternal silence, or being completely crushed by the coffin lid, will bring a burst of light as soon as a crack is torn open and a sliver of sunlight is seen.

However, even under these circumstances, on that day, the Pollen Emperor hesitated for a long time and ultimately did not make a move... She was not confident and felt that she was no match for that cauldron.

If she fails again, she won't have the face to ask the Copper Coffin Master for help!

After careful consideration, she chose to go underground, developing underground operations, secretly expanding her membership, and waiting for an opportunity.

Unlike her.

Or perhaps they learned from her experience.

Several outpost leaders have been operating in the shadows from the very beginning... especially after they moved from "online" to "offline"!

"But I need to find him before I can make a move... However, he is elusive and seems to have countless clones, all of whom disappear in a flash, making it impossible to pinpoint his location..."

"Furthermore, there is a massive black hand, obscuring the sky and severing the secrets of heaven, belonging to an existence of equal rank to me... The sky is shrouded in eerie mist, exuding the deepest and most sinister aura... It belongs to the consciousness of the plateau!"

Ye Fan sighed.

It's so slippery!

Moreover, although he looked down on the pure lucky one, Gao Yuanyi, he was confident that in a battle at his peak, he could beat him until his face was covered in peach blossoms.

Ultimately, their levels of understanding are not that different, and it is difficult for them to know everything about each other.

"Were you ancient overlords really this good at hiding your true nature?"

Ye Fan looked at the seeds and asked.

Immediately, words of severing echoed in the stone jar. Several seeds transformed from ancient overlords righteously severed their ties, expressing their utter contempt for the cowardly and timid master of destiny and their shame at associating with him!

This would remove the Lord of Fate, the Jade Emperor, Mahayana, and others from the "list of overlords"!
"Aren't you all hiding here too, not showing yourselves at all?"

The Azure Emperor suddenly spoke out of curiosity, making the atmosphere inside the jar extremely awkward for a moment.

The next moment, several overlords refuted them one after another.

"Can that be the same!"

"I am a true man who can bend and stretch, unlike a coward like you!"

"Avoiding the enemy's sharp edge and showing forbearance for now, today's actions are merely a strategic maneuver... This is my wisdom in dealing with the world!"

"..."

The stone jar became noisy.

A chaotic blue lotus, always bringing up the most sensitive topics, with such a sharp tongue, speaking such blunt truths!
If he hadn't been so good at currying favor with powerful figures, those overlords might have given him a taste of what it's like to be brutally beaten by society!
In the face of a combined attack, the Azure Emperor was defeated and retreated, only managing to end the campaign by protecting the Desolate Heavenly Emperor in front of him.

With the devastation before them, these overlords became more obedient and turned their attention back to the Fate Master and his companions, who were clearly about to successfully escape.

Compared to the loose tongue of the Chaos Green Lotus, they were more concerned about the fact that she was dragging her "good friend" down.

"If the person destined for this fate won't come out, then force him to!"

The butcher said coldly, "'The main god' can launch a propaganda campaign, vehemently exposing the drawbacks of memory initiation, using all their intimidation skills to exaggerate the consequences, and stating that those who are initiated are destined to die a terrible death, have an ominous old age, have red hair growing from their souls, go mad and insane, and become ruthless and kill all their relatives..."

"Ideally, find some examples... If there aren't any, then stage a few to become typical examples!"

The moment this ancient overlord opened his mouth, his murderous aura was overwhelming, terrifying people with fear.

"Such intimidation and widespread propaganda create unease among the people, making them hesitant to attempt memory infusion again. Sooner or later, the person in charge will become restless and be forced to take action and resist..."

"We'll lie in ambush and keep tracking him... Even if we can't catch him in person, we can severely damage and destroy his organizational system!"

"It can be like this..." Ye Fan's eyes lit up, as if he were thinking, "...Intimidation?"

"Isn't this the truth?"

"Even you, Emperor Ye, think so, let alone all living beings?" The Burial Master laughed. "Yes, the purification of the Nine Springs will have impurities, which will cause the birth of 'disloyal hearts'. What I said before is true."

"But how could the person destined for this not know?"

"He will naturally take steps to resolve this..."

"I tried to put myself in his shoes and think from his perspective, and I was able to come up with some solutions..."

"Just like the baptism of ominous substances after the original ashes are diluted, although it can create dark creatures and give birth to strange true spirits... there are also special cases where being baptized by ominous substances not only does not lead to darkness, but also becomes an opportunity."

"Look, isn't here an example?"

"The burial master said, glancing at the desolate landscape.

“Not bad,” Shi Hao said calmly. “When I was a Celestial King, I used the power of the ancient artifact of origin to illuminate and baptize myself. Not only did I not fall into darkness, but it also opened the door to my potential and greatly increased my potential.”

People cannot be generalized.

What is poison to one is honey to another!
"Of course, the reasons are complicated... Firstly, because I had come into contact with the Three-Life Coffin and was once influenced and transformed into a similar flower. Coffins are containers for containing bones and ashes, and there is an invisible restraint in them."

Shi Hao added, "Secondly, it's also because of the method I created... It wasn't a coincidence, but rather a great overlord who schemed against the Pollen Emperor, raising a sky full of pollen to chase after the perfect seed... a miracle that has been waiting for countless years."

"Those are seeds meant to be planted on the tombstone of the bronze coffin master. It's no wonder they can turn darkness into nourishment." "A combination of factors has led to my exceptional case."

“Special cases are enough…” the Burial Master chuckled. “With special cases, we have direction, we know what to do…”

Even if we cannot turn harm into benefit, we can mitigate the damage and reduce the aftereffects to the greatest extent possible.

"Furthermore..."

The deceased said meaningfully, "Talking about toxicity without considering dosage is also unreliable."

"Not bad!"

Youjiao spoke up, the former Lord of Heaven saying leisurely, "I have a lot of experience in this area... After all, I studied primordial matter very deeply in the past."

“Every living being has a different tolerance to dark matter.”

"It is not to say that even the slightest bit of dark matter can erode any living being, transform it, replace its original true spirit, and allow a strange true spirit to dominate its body."

"Moreover, as a cultivator's own strength increases, this tolerance will also increase significantly... Corroding a mortal and corroding a true immortal are completely different concepts."

“Conduct the most thorough examination to understand the precise upper limit of dark matter tolerance for each individual. Below that limit, it is within the safe range, and one can ingest a moderate amount of dark matter to enhance their potential.”

"Perhaps, this tiny bit of potential growth is the last straw that breaks the shackles of the realm."

Emperor Youjiao has far too much experience in "getting something for nothing"!

As the greatest landowner under heaven, he racked his brains to ensure a better harvest of "crops" from his land.

However, he doesn't want to "pay out of his own pocket," so what can he do?
So he turned his attention to primordial substances that cost no money.

Yes.

Primal matter is very dangerous; it can easily replace a person from the core.

However, setting aside the side effects, its ability to unlock and enhance personal potential is clearly visible.

The evil side is ten times stronger, and that's no exaggeration!

Therefore, how to avoid becoming corrupted without becoming completely corrupted was once a research topic for Emperor Qiaogu.

Therefore, he understands best that discussing toxicity without considering dosage is simply irresponsible!
Even the toxicity...
It can "detoxify"!
"...I've also researched how to resolve the dark matter deposited in a cultivator's essence, hoping to be able to repeatedly exploit and utilize this peculiar power for free," Youjiao smiled, "without using even more powerful forces to purify it."

"Do you think it's a coincidence that I was able to create the 'Holy Ruins' Holy Spirit single-handedly? No, it's the culmination of my hard work!"

"Perhaps, among the ten overlords, my understanding of primordial matter is enough to rank me in the top three... or even first in serious matters!"

He sighed, "Changheng used ornamental flowers from the courtyard in the plateau, which is somewhat of a shortcut."

"Heh." Emperor Changheng chuckled lightly, his meaning unclear, without arguing.

"As for the Demon Emperor's 'coffin sacrifice,' that's simply embracing the bizarre, directly joining in, and even trying to turn the source against him—too abstract," Youjiao commented.

In his view, both of them were shady characters, not as legitimate as him!

"It's true that I can't completely eradicate dark matter, but through continuous exploration, I've also mastered some unique methods..."

Youjiao whispered, "At first, I went straight for the knife... The dark matter invaded the source, right? Then I just cut off that part of the source and dug it out of the body..."

"However, the casualty rate is very high. Even if one doesn't die, the path for cultivators is almost completely cut off, forcing me to change direction..."

"Is it possible to expel it from the body through a process similar to metabolism?"

"Are there any effective methods or medications to suppress and resolve this?"

"If all else fails, could we recreate the human body, transfer the soul, purify the cultivation within the body that was originally corrupted by darkness, transfer it, and then destroy it..."

He recounted his past experiences, reflecting on the present.

"If I were the 'Master of Fate' and the memory infusion was used to poison the world, how could the initiator not have prepared countermeasures?"

"It's likely that he secretly conducted several studies... such as researching and analyzing the tolerance of beings in the new era to external memories, clarifying the different upper limits for each individual, and determining the level before they can reach a point where the impurities left by the incomplete purification in the underworld will not cause a split in their spiritual self..."

"For example, exploring methods of memory-based personality dissection could involve surgically removing personality tumors that have developed in beings who have reached their mental limits and are overwhelmed, or selectively forgetting certain memories so that disloyal thoughts, having lost their vessel, naturally disappear..."

"In addition, there is research on the rejection of personality self... The memories of the initiation are screened, selecting outstanding individuals with similar temperaments to the recipients, and extracting their memories... In this way, because of similar temperaments, and even similar or identical hobbies and habits, the split in self-awareness may be greatly reduced..."

Youjiao said a lot, which greatly moved the two Heavenly Emperors.

It turns out.

Being a bad person is an art!

These days, simply committing murder and arson isn't so popular anymore!

“If what you say is true, the person in question will likely face a very difficult situation… but I don’t see any of the rescue methods you mentioned in this world.”

Ye Fan whispered.

“It’s not the right time yet, and there’s no need for it for now,” Youjiao laughed. “These methods can serve as a way to save ourselves if we are held accountable. If we are questioned by terrifying beings such as the Humanity, the Demon Ancestor, or the Copper Coffin Master, we can use them to argue our way out and get away with it, showing that we can clean up the mess we left behind.”

"Ultimately, it's because people themselves can't resist temptation, so we can't entirely blame him, right? He has remedial measures, which is quite good."

"There are clearly faster ways to improve, and everyone agrees on that, so we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater, can we?"

"Secondly, these are all repeat customers!"

"When all beings are gradually troubled by memories from diverse sources and feel the pain of schizophrenia, the person in charge can then launch a treatment method... Spend money, kid!"

"Spreading the disease first, then charging for treatment... that's the only sustainable way to fleece people!"

"Otherwise, why would the Lord of Fate be so generous when allowing all beings to borrow their future in advance? Why not even ask for interest?"

"That's because I believe I can earn even more in the future!"

"Coexisting with the chronic disease, receiving memory empowerment, self-splitting, eliminating hidden dangers, and then receiving new memory empowerment... This becomes a complete cycle, binding all beings to his war chariot and kidnapping the entire human race!"

Youjiao exclaimed, "From now on, it will be too big to fall, and all living beings will be grateful to it for the kindness it has shown us..."

—Can we, as sentient beings, not know whether the person in question is a good person or not?

—They must be good people!
