Above Destiny

Chapter 825 Not the So-Called Attacker
I've got it!
When Ji felt his five fingers contract, a blurry shape faintly appeared in his hand, shifting and changing.

Like an arm quietly reaching for the victim's wallet... Caught red-handed with the stolen goods.

That's why it happened so suddenly and so unbelievably.

So much so that outside of the apocalypse, countless eyes were wide open in disbelief, and countless question marks sprang from every forehead across the land, like a volcanic eruption, an explosion of utter bewilderment:
No way, buddy, how could you possibly hold onto that?!

How did you catch it?!
How can you touch something that never existed in the first place!

It's like scooping the moon's reflection from the water or plucking a flower bud from a mirror—it's just too bizarre!
The principle of tragic work is formless and shapeless, almost like a destiny or creation. It was just one step away from being the mandate of heaven, but Ji Jue actually caught it in his palm.

It was even as if... in order to be captured by Ji Jue, it deliberately transformed from illusion to reality, fixing its form and existence so that Ji Jue could better manipulate it!
No, it's the other way around!

After a moment of bewilderment and shock, a sense of realization and vigilance emerged.

It's not that the tragic work is about "lowering one's status," but rather that Ji Jue transforms the impossible into the possible, giving it a form and state out of thin air.

—Destroy the intangible and give it substance!

Who the hell is this expert?!

The answer is: Non-aggression.

——【Circle of Non-Aggression】!
Just like the simple, honest, and straightforward nature of the Mohists in the past, the blessing chain of the transformation level is called transformation, and the blessing chain of the rebirth level is called rebirth.

The realm that Non-Aggression aims to and achieves is still called "Non-Aggression"!
In fact, even compared to all the realms, the Non-Aggressive Realm is probably the smallest one, the kind that can't even be served at a holiday dinner!
Because its maximum range is limited to a distance that is literally 'within reach'!

Its existence lies solely in Ji Jue's hands.

It's simply not enough to cover the whole body.

It has no invincible power or explosive force, nor does it have a terrifying range or value. In fact, it is not constant—when the five fingers are spread out, the circle expands and spreads; when the five fingers are contracted, the circle closes and shuts down.

When Ji Jue reached out, the circle appeared in response; when Ji Jue withdrew his hand, the circle vanished without a trace!
It has many drawbacks.

However, compared to its effects, all these drawbacks are not drawbacks at all, but rather limitations that all craftsmen are willing to accept in order to fulfill the wishes entrusted to it.

After almost abandoning all the conveniences of the circle, what is gained is a terrifying enhancement and expansion of the effect of non-aggression itself, and even the infinite possibilities of the ten fingers of both hands!
This is absolutely, infinite possibilities!
To others, Ji Jue's actions might seem like nothing more than a casual handshake.

From his perspective, however, the same instant and the same action produce endless reflections.

It was as if the world was splitting apart before my eyes in a hallucinatory perspective.

One becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight...

The same action was repeated hundreds or thousands of times in this single instant.

Every time Ji Jue stretched out his hand, the world in his eyes would split and change once with the terrifying consumption of his spiritual energy. In the same instant, others only saw one action, but he saw countless hands stretching out like phantoms, covering the sky and the earth!
For example, like when mercury appeared to the sages in the past.

Reaching the heavens above and the netherworld below, controlling all things, and recreating everything!
As Ji Jue tightened his fingers, countless reflections and divergences converged once again beneath that palm... Countless possibilities overlapped under the faint light reflected in the palm.

Thus, the one in a billion chance, the elusive fate, and the tragic principles at work in the apocalypse were all grasped by Ji Jue!

"This is not what is meant by attack, but by annihilation!"

A voice, almost like a hallucination, rang out from the flames of the matrix, echoing in the soul. The wills and prayers of countless Moists of the past overlapped, entrusting this inherited power to Ji Jue.

The proof of severing injustice is non-aggression, but it does not represent compassion and peace, but rather a determination that transcends murderous intent and anger!
Expel the root of evil, eradicate the very seeds of oppression and ravage.

This will bring peace and stability to the world, free from the scourge of cruelty and strife!

Therefore—

— Punish the wicked and punish the unjust!

In the flow of spirituality, one can see countless resolute faces and eyes, casting gratified glances towards the distant future and towards Ji Jue in this place, filled with anticipation and laughing aloud.

We hereby wage war against the world before us.

Even if the sky falls and the earth cracks, leaving no trace of our bodies! As long as there is even a sliver of possibility, this spirit of change will never cease. Even if there is absolutely no possibility, we will use these two hands to create a brand new future!
From the very first blessing, "Masterful Hands," Non-Aggression began to subject the craftsmen's hands to near-extreme enhancement, constantly expanding their limits and the scope of their interference.

If you can do it through practice and accumulation, then you definitely can! If you can accumulate knowledge through hard work and experimentation, then you will definitely reap the rewards!

After a long period of trials and accumulation, Ji Jue finally touched upon the essence and nature of Non-Aggression!

Break free from all the constraints and limitations of reality, and truly grasp that one in a million glimmer of hope in your own hands!

Turning the extremely small probability that only exists in theory into reality!

No matter how small the probability is, as long as it's within the circle, it can become 100%!
For ordinary people, it may be a blessing that adds to their happiness, but for the hands of craftsmen who recreate everything, it is an absolute leap and a qualitative change!

Before this, all of Ji Jue's studies and training were aimed at maximizing his own potential and scope of intervention, breaking down the barriers and obstacles between "existence" and "non-existence," and accumulating experience for the qualitative change that would be achieved at this moment!
No matter how absurd or bizarre the purpose, no matter how ridiculous or extravagant the ambition and ideal, no matter how many decimal places the possibility has reached, it doesn't matter at all.

As long as the probability exists and the spiritual energy is sufficient, it is enough to become an absolute reality in the hands of a craftsman!

Just like now!

The moment the hand of the circle reached out towards Beigong, the originally infinitely small possibility was already destined to fall into Jijue's hands!
From the abstract to the concrete, from nothing to something, this seemingly casual grasp shattered the barriers of nothingness, causing it to plummet into reality almost as if it had fallen.

The once lofty and sacred symbol of sainthood has now sunk into the mire!

Enraged, it struggled, violently rebounded, and unleashed a backlash.

The blurry arm trembled incessantly, shifting and changing, with cracking sounds constantly emanating from Ji Jue's hand. Cracks rapidly appeared and spread on the five fingers and palm, causing severe damage, yet in the blink of an eye, it was repaired completely once again.

Under the control of the Circle Realm, the physical properties and sturdiness of Ji Jue's Hand were also elevated to the limit. In addition, there was the suppression from within the Non-Aggression Circle Realm. In the rush, the Bei Gong Hand, which originally had no countermeasures, was unable to break free of the shackles.

But by the time it mobilized the entire power of the apocalypse to suppress Ji Jue... it was already too late!
Ji Jue had already raised his other hand.

Towards the clenched arm, the five fingers opened again, the circle appeared, and then—[Jing Zhen]!
boom!!!
In an instant, Ji Jue's left hand disintegrated and turned to ashes under the shock, but a crack appeared on Bei Gong's hand that Ji Jue was holding!
After bringing the principles of tragic work to the same level as himself, Ji Jue's rich experience finally came in handy!
You know, Jingzhen is such a great thing, who exactly invented it?
Oh, it's my teacher!
Then you'll have to have a good taste!

With a moment of 'pain', the Hand of Sorrowful Struggle went berserk and finally broke free from the suppression of the Circle by sheer force. Then, 'we' saw' Ji Jue in the apocalypse raise his hands, and his shattered hands were rebuilt!
Silent, maniacal laughter.

"What's the rush? We have a long and happy life ahead of us!"

He reached out again, clenched his fist, and the arm in the void reappeared, followed immediately by Jing Zhen!
Jingzhen! Jingzhen! Jingzhen! Jingzhen! Jingzhen!

I'm blown away!
Pan Ying, Zhan Lu, Chi Xiao, Chun Jun, Ju Que... After five rounds of tempering and qualitative change, bursts of spiritual energy erupted from the apocalypse, one after another. The terrifying frequency and hysterical laughter made the entire sea and sky desolate and sad.

From the deepest depths to the association, from decay to ashes, countless craftsmen stood dumbfounded, their skin crawling with goosebumps, instinctively clenching their fists, too afraid to utter a word.

Once again, I recalled the terror of being dominated by Ye Xian, and for the first time, I experienced a cruelty and ferocity that surpassed even Ye Xian's!

Even more surprisingly, a bizarre conjecture that had never been made before arose.

Is it possible that Ye Xian is actually... quite nice to everyone?

While it's unlikely that Ye Xian is a good person, compared to Ji Jue, it's damn likely!!!

"...Master Ye is truly a kind and honest man."

In the Hall of Radiant Light, Gustav, who had just put down his binoculars, couldn't help but sigh deeply. In the deathly silence, no one spoke, nor could they utter a word.

How could such an exciting and exhilarating scene leave viewers feeling exhausted?

I don't understand.

But I'm afraid.

In the stagnant apocalypse, the cruel devastation continued, or rather, it was a one-sided beating, even though the damage caused by Ji Jue and Jing Zhen was at most just a scratch.

If a number pops up after you type it in, it can only be -1, -1, -1... But who has ever seen a craftsman who is neither a god nor a human defy the heavens and pull out the tragic principles of craftsmanship from the realm of sainthood and foolishness and hammer them on the ground?
