In the pure white space, time seemed to lose its meaning.

Wu Heng sat cross-legged, like an unchanging reef, enduring the onslaught of light from all directions and the continuous mental indoctrination of light and shadow. A series of praises and exhortations about 'piety,' 'redemption,' and 'sacred mission' emanated from the body of that ball of light and shadow, spreading in all directions like background noise.

It was simply completely filtered and isolated by his powerful consciousness.

His entire being was immersed in a deep analysis of the surrounding angelic power. The power of the evil spirit puppet was like a precise probe, using his own suppressed 'discomfort' as a reference to meticulously perceive, record, and analyze this energy attribute, which was completely different from the demonic power.

As the analysis began, Wu Heng confirmed the differences in their appearances: the power of angels was holy, orderly, and carried a strong sense of discipline and purifying properties, which contrasted sharply with the chaos, tyranny, and corrosiveness of the power of demons, but this was only the surface.

As he delved deeper into the analysis, he discovered an even deeper structure.

These two seemingly opposing forces actually share a surprising common origin in their most basic structure, just like light and darkness, which are both electromagnetic waves, only differing in frequency and amplitude.

The underlying 'energy particles' and properties that constitute the power of angels and demons are similar; one could even say that they originate from the same, more ancient, and more fundamental 'source'.

The key to their distinct nature lies in the fact that a portion of their 'encoding' or 'polarity' is set in completely opposite ways.

Just as different sequences of key base pairs on a DNA strand can lead to vastly different biological traits.

This part of the structure is reversed, causing the power of angels to tend towards cohesion, order, and purification, while the power of demons tends towards diffusion, chaos, and erosion.

It was through this insight that Wu Heng gained a profound understanding of the true nature of Heaven and Hell's attitudes toward humanity.

Angels need positive human emotions and faith—piety, hope, sacrifice, and love—but these emotions are not essential for the angels' own power.

They are more like a luxury item or an environmental regulator.

With this positive energy generated by humans, angels will feel more 'comfortable' and may be able to exert their power more smoothly, just like having an air conditioner in a room, where the temperature is comfortable and the body feels pleasant.

But even without these, the angels still exist, remain powerful, and are not harmed by them.

For Heaven, humanity's existence is a power plant providing 'comfort,' not the oxygen that sustains life.

The same applies to hell.

They absorb negative emotions such as fear, anger, and despair to 'nourish' themselves, to make the environment more in line with their 'preferences,' and to enhance their strength in certain specific areas, but this is by no means the fundamental reason for their survival.

Humans, to the lofty heaven and hell, are essentially 'useful but substitutable' resource providers, or even part of the 'landscape,' rather than equal beings.

This perfectly explains why the angels could indifferently watch dozens of people die and the seal loosen, because the survival of humanity is of no concern to them as long as it does not affect their core interests.

As Wu Heng continued to delve deeper into the analysis of the surrounding light and power, his consciousness, like a scalpel, began to dissect the essential soul that constituted the light and shadow before him.

He discovered some unnatural signs of patchwork and alteration.

The techniques used to create these traces carried a strong hellish style, especially reminding him of those hellish monks who were obsessed with soul modification. "So that's how it is," Wu Heng realized.

This explains why Dean and Sam were transformed into demons in the original storyline.

Those high-ranking demons who took action used methods that were essentially the same as those of the monks. They were all high priests within the Hell system. This kind of transformation directly affected the soul level, forcibly reversing the soul's will and injecting it with the origin of Hell.

Those who are transformed, like Dean, suffer unimaginable spiritual pain during and after the transformation.

This kind of pain goes far beyond the limits of physical torture and leaves a deep post-traumatic stress disorder on the soul, namely PTSD, which can lead to a personality that gradually becomes cold, violent, and crazy.

The headaches experienced when recalling hellish experiences are a manifestation of the soul's trauma being touched.

The so-called 'demon blood affects temperament' is merely a superficial phenomenon; the root cause lies in the extreme pain and subsequent distortion experienced when the soul is violently reshaped.

Wu Heng assessed this modification technology as “crude and inefficient.”

In his eyes, these 'engineers' of heaven and hell used barbaric methods, relying entirely on powerful energy to forcibly twist and turn, wasting a lot of energy and causing unnecessary and irreversible deep damage to those being modified.

Based on a thorough understanding of the similarities and differences between the powers of angels and demons, as well as the principles of soul modification, Wu Heng rapidly deduced and constructed a completely new and more sophisticated technical blueprint in his mind.

He not only fully understood the principles of demon and angel transformation within the 'legitimate' power sphere of this world, but also innovated and developed several more optimized solutions.

The first method is precise transformation, which can selectively transform a person into a specific type of demon, such as the Crossroads Demon, the White-Eyed Demon, or a low-ranking angel. The transformation process is smoother, the soul's suffering is greatly reduced, and the success rate is close to 100%.

The second method is power extraction and potionization, which allows the power and spiritual essence of demons or angels to be extracted directly to create temporary or permanent enhancement potions.

Users can gain some of the abilities of demons or angels for a certain period of time, or fine-tune their own soul wavelength to enhance their resistance to certain forces.

The third type: Controllable purification and pollution, which can be reversed to 'purify' souls that have been polluted by demons, stripping them of their hellish attributes, or to 'pollute' ordinary souls, injecting them with hellish or heavenly power, to a controllable degree.

It can freely transform an angel into a human or a demon, or it can reverse a person who has become a demon into an ordinary person.

After finishing the analysis, his gaze seemed to pierce through the barrier of this pure white space and land on the two figures outside who were working hard for him.

"Dean, Sam," a barely perceptible ripple stirred in Wu Heng's mind, "It's still too much of a strain to always fight these monsters with a mortal body."

Especially considering the possibility of even more powerful archangels appearing later, or even Lilith and Lucifer themselves.

An idea quietly emerged: perhaps it's time to give these two main characters a little upgrade.

It doesn't necessarily mean completely transforming into a non-human being, but at least one needs to possess enough power to protect oneself in higher-level battles, or even influence the course of the battle.

He wondered if these brothers, whose fate had been written into their lives, possessed the power to break through the barriers of power, could they truly stir up the waters even further, and perhaps even shake the screenwriter hidden behind the scenes, the one known as 'God'? (End of Chapter)
