Above Destiny

Chapter 297: Good and Evil

Another approach?

Ji Jue was confused the whole day. After thinking about it, his mind was empty. He just wanted to change his mind, or change the examiner.

This bastard is targeting me!

One hundred percent!

But with no other choice, he once again devoted himself to research.

——If it is difficult to solve the problem with quantity, why not try quality instead!

If you, worm brother, are not interested in my mechanical engineering, I have one or two sage afterimages that I can have a friendly exchange with you.

The sage is the same as the dragon, one is the beginning and the other is the end.

Well, for a mere unborn dragon, it’s not excessive for me to use the afterimage of a sage to fight it, right?
Once the creative mode is turned on, you can get whatever you want, with unlimited supplies of materials and blessings. In addition, the time acceleration saves a lot of waiting. Even if you make a mistake, you can press rewind to go back to the time before failure.

Ji Jue felt like he was almost addicted.

It works so well!

I'm afraid I'll have to quit for a while after leaving the simulation.

Even when he was involved in the creation of the Sage's Shadow, Ji Jue did not forget the opportunity to continue to simulate for free. Through the reconstruction, research and splitting of the Sage's Shadow, he once again invested in the research of fluid alchemy.

With unlimited supply of resources, you don’t even have to worry too much about theory. Just use simple trial and error, and there will always be a way to succeed.

If the effect cannot be achieved, then we have to settle for the next best thing, using the same blessing sequence or other material properties to copy or compensate.

It's like, there's nothing that can't be done!
When I came to my senses, I realized that more than two months had passed in my physical sense, while ninety years had passed in the simulation.

At this moment, standing in front of Ji Jue was a crystalline mountain that was rooted on the seabed and its height broke through the atmosphere!

From top to bottom, the cube is of equal scale and absolutely precise.

And in it, thousands of veins that swung out like hands shone with brilliant light, so gorgeous. Under the interweaving of countless veins, the shadows of unprecedented saints emerged from the ocean of infinite spiritual essence.

He used hundreds of blessings, from transformation to ruins, all twelve virtues were complete, and the internal blessing sequence exceeded ninety-one. Strengthen the body, interfere with the outside world, maintain oneself, suppress opponents, attack the soul, destroy the body, modify things, create illusions, make the false become true, lightning speed, high-speed regeneration, resurrection, fanaticism, bloodsucking, breaking defense...

Everything Ji Jue could think of was stuffed into it.

Unprecedented cruel information!
Not to mention the afterimage of the sage, even if the sage himself came, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to bestow so many blessings!

Even when Shuiyin was alive, he had never fought such a rich battle! Even if the Mohists killed all of them, they still couldn't gather so many precious materials.

This isn't just a flying dragon riding on the face, this is almost like Shangshan himself coming.

Tell me how to lose?
How to lose?!

"Come on, Sim, show me your limits!"

Ji Jue laughed wildly and started the sequence.

Countless spiritual furnaces overloaded and exploded. Amidst the terrifying roar that shook the earth, the huge crystalline mountain instantly broke into an endless tide of spiritual energy.

In the frenzy, brilliance shone everywhere, arms that were so dazzling that it was hard to look directly at were spread out, countless wings covered the sky, and eyes in the palms overlooked everything.

Destroy everything!
Just by waving his hand, a frenzy was set off; just by spreading his wings,... he exploded himself.

boom! ! !
As Ji Jue was stunned, even before the Nether Sea Worm appeared, the afterimage of the sage that he had placed high hopes on shattered into debris on the ground.

Internal conflicts, contradictions, and conflicts between the two blessing sequences triggered a chain reaction, resulting in a large number of different spiritual essences after qualitative changes being annihilated like water and fire.

Blasted.

"I hold—"

Ji Jue hurriedly rewound the tape, checked, and after eliminating any hidden dangers, he operated it again. This time, it exploded even faster.

Pour it out again, check it again, and then fry it again.

Ji Jue had no choice but to grit his teeth and delete many conflicting sequences and modules, and came up with a complete and running streamlined version... Now there are only 200 blessings left, less than half of the original.

When the afterimage of the sage finally took shape, Ji Jue almost cried, just like a programmer who saw the program finally run.

All I have to do is buy an incense burner and kowtow a few times.

Then, amidst the earth-shaking changes, the Underworld Sea Worms appeared.

Amid the cries, the sage's once brilliant afterimage suddenly began to show cracks... Along with the rush of massive spiritual essence, as the blessing was overloaded, dark shadows appeared on its body.

Like cracked porcelain.

There is no need for any special moves. The evil frenzy spewed out by this terrifying magnitude is the most terrifying method of attack.

The chirping of the worms is like the terrifying high pressure in the deep sea. All flaws will be instantly revealed and exposed in the terrifying pollution penetration.

Even before the other party made any moves, the towering projection that stretched across the sky and the earth had already gradually slowed down. The pollution seeped into his body through the cracks and spread wantonly.

boom!
The blessing chain formed by the combination of the transformation and Tianyuan's blessing was activated, purifying the inside and forcibly suppressing it. Then, the many blessing sequences carefully prepared by Ji Jue were activated, and they attacked fiercely!

It lasted a total of one hour and forty-one seconds.

Most of the time, it was a war of attrition that neither side could do anything about.

Until the worm's huge body was torn apart from the inside, and spread out its strange giant wings that were between reality and illusion, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, the pollution level rose sharply again!
In response to this sudden attack, it has completed its evolution!
Countless scales fell from the giant wings like seeds, landing on the afterimage of the sage. Then, each scale, like a seed, took root deeply and entangled the core.

The huge afterimage of the sage was rapidly dissolving, shattering, and becoming unresponsive.

Until Ji Jue had no choice but to press the self-destruct device.

A fierce light shot up into the sky. All the sea water within a hundred miles evaporated. The dazzling light emerged from the atmosphere, swaying like a long tail.

The oceans evaporated, the seabed cracked, and destruction continued to spread, rotating, wave after wave, endlessly.

Having learned from the lesson that a large number of fusion bombs turned into light effects, Ji Jue deliberately set up a chain of self-destruction this time, converting all the power of the sage's afterimage into high heat.

In the burning and destruction that lasted for a whole day, the world had sunk into hell.

The massive smoke and dust that rose up covered most of the sky in the present world, and the countless fish and shrimp that died in the boiling ocean emitted a horrible stench. The plague sprouted from the corruption, and cracks appeared on the present world.

But at that moment when the high temperature gradually decreased, darkness surged in the burning hell, and the re-transformed Nether Sea Worms actually condensed into shape again.

Total failure!

"you are dead."

After time was reversed, the examiner's voice sounded: "I don't think I need to remind you of the cause of death - lack of oxygen. However, you have found a good way to destroy the world. Congratulations.

Anyway, the only noteworthy thing about your performance is your self-explosion."

He did not hide his gloating at all.

"The Mohist school has indeed mastered the essence of the Embers, but its essence lies in control and operation. The upper limit is extremely high. At the same time, once the operation and control are lost, the lower limit is terribly low.

Mercury's shadow without spiritual flow is nothing but an empty shell. Even if you operate it, how well can you perform?

You are going the wrong way.”

The examiner commented calmly: "[10] points."

Ji Jue panted for a long time before finally waking up from the suffocating feeling of lack of oxygen. He got up and collapsed on the ground, unable to muster any strength. "What's the full score?"

"100."

“It can’t be that low?” Ji Jue was annoyed.

"9 points is the recognition for the saints of the past, and 1 point is the performance score of your final self-destruction effect."

The examiner sneered: "Alchemy is not engineering, and manufacturing is not making giant robots. Even the Empire's Atlas doesn't have so many blessings on it.

In the absence of coordination and a stable structure, the more blessings there are, the greater the burden will be, and they will only interfere with each other, or even be unable to coexist.

You know, even for celestial beings, the number of blessings that can be integrated into the soul is only twelve.

Relying on external things is indeed the right way for Embers, but at the same time, there is one more important point: do not use forces that you cannot control.

Remember, the words "overestimating one's abilities" and "playing with fire" often appear together in the obituaries of craftsmen.

These two words are beyond your reach today.”

The examiner said slowly: "Do you know why small workshops like to release explosive materials? Because they want to cover up their weaknesses, just like you.

It is easiest to add when you are poor, but when you are abundant, you have to engrave subtraction into your instinct.

"Just right" is the best compliment to a craftsman. "

"Easy to say!"

Ji Jue glared: "How is it just right? Why don't you tell me about it!"

"I'm sorry, I'm just working for the association, and no one treats me as a craftsman."

The examiner just smiled strangely, seeing through Ji Jue's provocation: "Besides, I'm not your teacher. If you have any questions, you have to think about them yourself."

What the hell are you...

Ji Jue sighed, but immediately understood the hidden meaning behind his words. "Teacher"?!

In an instant, many of Ye Xian’s scraps in his memory appeared in front of Ji Jue’s eyes. He had dismantled so many of them himself, and no one could compare to Ji Jue’s understanding of his teacher.

The premise of dissociation is insight, followed by understanding and analysis, and finally finding the weak points and contradictions in the structure of the blessed creation, so as to break them in one blow through the interference of one's own spiritual essence.

It can be said that Ji Jue learned the foundation of the spiritual circuit structure from Ye Xian's works through day-to-day practice of dissociation.

He used to not understand why so many works were discarded simply because of differences in physical properties or unstable construction of spiritual circuits.

Even in Ji Jue's opinion, it all seemed to flow smoothly and naturally.

But if you look at it from this perspective...

Maybe Professor Ye’s standard is: works that can’t survive one round of his dissociation technique are rubbish? !

If I use this standard to compare the many works I created in the exam...

Ji Jue broke out in a cold sweat.

No, maybe for Professor Ye, the fact that his students named their works "Ex-wife" and "Stepmother" is not as embarrassing as his stupid kid showing off his defective works among other naughty kids...

Oh no, it’s time to take the spiritual attack and defense class!
In order to avoid Ye Chun, the lazy dog, gloating over the belt at the side, Ji Jue could only grit his teeth and temporarily give up too many unrealistic ideas, and instead start to build the foundation of the Shadow of the Sage from scratch, and hone his basic skills at the same time.

Then he realized... not to mention surviving a round of dissociation, just meeting the standard of 'just right' was extremely difficult.

He has almost worn out the fast forward and rewind buttons, but he hasn’t even finished the structure of the Shadow of the Sage!
Then, as he was immersed in it...

Snapped!
Everything rewinds and returns to the starting point.

Ji Jue looked up blankly: "What's wrong?"

"Well, let me see what's going on..."

The examiner’s teasing voice sounded again: “You are old and dead.

Calculating the time, one hundred and ten years is considered a long life.

Your life is a life of unrealistic ambitions, a life without value, a life that makes the embers cry.

You have invested your limited abilities into imitating the nearly infinite power of the sages. Although you have made some progress, unfortunately, there has been no result. "

“My advice is, reopen it,” he said.

Ji Jue glared angrily.

You bastard, you——

But at least he still had a little rationality left and didn't curse out loud on the spot.

This damn examiner is petty-minded and of poor quality. He smiles on the surface, but who knows what he's planning to torture me secretly!
He held back a curse and started his life anew.

This time, he learned from his previous lessons and did not aim too high or waste time on projects that were beyond his capabilities.

Instead, he exchanged them for a large number of analytical instruments and equipment and invested them in the research of the interior of the Underworld Sea.

Know yourself and the enemy.

Let’s first figure out what the internal circulation is!
Just like that, wearing full protection, we went deeper into the pollution.

It was like the butterfly stroke in a sea of ​​feces, flapping its wings repeatedly.

Many samples were extracted and analyzed endlessly.

But the more I analyze, the more numb I become.

The underworld that is now eroding the present world can be said to be the worm itself. It has taken root in the present world and gradually evolved into an indelible phenomenon.

It's like a part of the whole world.

What he wanted to solve was this cancerous lesion that was simply incurable. He had no idea how the combined fleets of the Federation and the Empire could handle such an outrageous thing!
What puzzled him even more was...

"Examiner, are you there?" Ji Jue suddenly looked up and asked.

"hungry?"

The examiner's voice sounded: "What would you like to eat? Would you like to try my secret burger? It tastes very good and is very popular!"

"Thanks, you can keep it for yourself."

Ji Jue rolled his eyes, raised the pliers and poked the specimen on the test bench.

The stone that was covered and permeated with blood and veins.

This is a sample of pollution he pulled from beneath the seabed, a piece of nearly activated basalt.

It is actually very simple to solve it, there are so many ways.

There is no need to bless it, as long as it is purified through alchemy, the pollution will be squeezed out naturally. But if there is any left, the pollution will spread again, repeating the old situation.

What's even more terrifying is that if Ji Jue has any spiritual essence left, it will be contaminated and distorted by it and become a part of it.

Evil transformation.

"What's wrong?" asked the examiner.

"Isn't this the problem?" Ji Jue looked up and asked, "Why can the essence of supreme goodness fall into evil and stupidity, but the pollution of great sins makes it difficult to ascend?"

The examiner was silent.

After a long while, until Ji Jue thought he was pretending to be dead again, he slowly said: "From top to bottom, falling is natural, from bottom to top, ascending is a hundred times more difficult.

Isn’t this normal?”

"Is it normal?" Ji Jue asked back.

"Let me give you an analogy."

The examiner suddenly asked: "Do you think it is easier to teach a baby to be like you, or is it more difficult to let him become a person who eats, drinks, gambles, and does all kinds of evil?"

Ji Jue was stunned.

"Or, to use another analogy - it's easy to turn a gentle, kind and generous person into a cold, stingy, selfish villain who doesn't hesitate to harm others.

Or is it more troublesome to make a bastard with a long history of evil awaken his conscience overnight? "

"..."

Ji Jue pondered for a long time and shook his head decisively.

"It's not the same thing. Your analogy is bullshit!"

He said, "The highest good is not divided into good and evil at all!"

This was the first lesson in common sense that Ye Chun taught him after he became the Chosen One.

The world's operation is never shaken by human intervention, and the highest good is not restricted by human morality.

Otherwise, Daqun and Bailu would be labeled as evil creatures in a moment, Xinshu and Jing would have to be completely cleansed, and every one of the Ether series would be killed, and there would be some that would slip through the net.

Then, the examiner sighed.

"Unfortunately, the same goes for Dae Sin."

The examiner sighed: “The highest good is the tapestry of the present world, which is composed of all the related things of the past, present and future of this world.

You should know that it is very difficult to have a good beginning and a good end to something, but it is very easy to bring about a bad outcome. You don’t even need to do anything on purpose.

No, just do nothing, and the consequences will happen naturally."

Ji Jue frowned.

I instinctively want to sneer. According to what you said, can the highest good and the greatest evil be...

His sneer froze on his face before it even appeared.

Feeling cold all over the body.

What is the examiner implying?
——The greatest good and the greatest evil are one and the same?!

An unintentional mistake?

Or is the description wrong?

No, this guy looks nonchalant, but the meaning of every sentence he says is extremely complicated, full of ambiguity and suggestion, and even contains advice and guidance to him.

Of course, there was also ridicule and sarcasm.

But no matter what, there is very little water and empty talk in every sentence.

In other words, this is what he wanted to express!
But what does he want to guide himself to do?
Grass, it's broken...

Could it really be that old dog Jian Yuan who broke into the association in disguise? !

Have I really become a pioneer?!
