Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 776 Ranked Equal to Heaven
He Songling released his Qi and briefly sensed the Qinling Mountains.

With his abilities, as long as he extends his Qi, he can get a clear picture of a place by sensing the tactile feedback from the Qi. It's like an amplified, intelligent version of a bat's ultrasonic waves, which is much more convenient than searching by himself or looking with his naked eye.

At this time, the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley was in a state of decay, and the Qi formation was also in great disarray, so its function was very limited. It seemed that the correct path had been marked out, and there was no longer any danger that a single misstep would cause the Qi formation to overwhelm one's spirit and drive one insane to death.

All traces of Wugensheng's life had disappeared. Sure enough, Zhang Boduan's letter above the Nine-Bend Cave was scraped away by Wugensheng.

Perhaps because of his presence, Zhang Boduan's impact on Wugensheng was not as great as in the original story, but Wugensheng still carried out his own ideas and had a negative dialogue with this Master Ziyang, warning him not to "be a teacher".

He Songling wholeheartedly agreed with this point.

This old guy has a problem: he's too fond of being a teacher. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been tricked and fallen into a deep sleep for so long. He's a bit like the kind of "Old Zhong-style" parents often mentioned online—he has an exceptionally strong desire to control. When he teaches, his students must follow his plans and arrangements exactly as he plans.

Of course, the real Zhang Boduan may not have been like that, but with his "love of teaching" mentality, the memory he created by leaving a letter in the Nine Bends Cave carried this behavioral pattern. Otherwise, He Songling would not have been able to trick him.

The key point is that this old man is genuinely looking out for He Songling. If he really wanted to plot against He Songling, he wouldn't be caught off guard. Any highly skilled sorcerer would have a sudden urge to act, let alone react naturally and avoid it when the moment comes, or even sense the danger before the trip.

However, since Zhang Boduan's memory was genuinely for He Songling's good, it couldn't be detected.

But this incident also proves that "I'm doing this for your own good" and "it actually had a good effect on me" are two completely different things.

"Forget it, there's no point in cursing anymore." Zhang Boduan had already vanished into thin air. The last records about him were all in the books he left behind, so cursing him would be pointless.

Moreover, although that old fellow tricked him, he did indeed repair the last acquired crack in his body. Now that He Songling has fully absorbed everything, he can be considered a Primordial Chaos Immortal, without any more obstacles or flaws.

He Songling sat cross-legged on the ground and circulated his primordial Qi through several cycles to confirm this.

He had already sensed this when he was circulating his Qi. In the past, whether he was at the fourth or fifth level, if he wanted to use the power of the innate divine soul level, he had to first activate it through his nascent soul, using the method of releasing the Yang God to control the divine soul.

This is what is known as the separation of body and soul.

But things are different now. He can no longer sense any divine soul outside his body. His divine soul and body have finally become one after more than a hundred years since he transmigrated.

Immersing his spirit in the Time Chamber, the second floor of the interior had become his domain. His soul could penetrate every corner, and this truly was the "world" he had created.

"So this is what becoming an immortal is like. It doesn't feel any different."

He Songling calculated that there wasn't a significant difference between becoming an immortal and being a half-immortal; the only difference lay in their destinies. From that moment on, the mortal and immortal realms were separated, and even in death, he would be considered a completely different species from ordinary humans. Every gesture he made, every movement he could wield, was powered by the forces of heaven and earth, and innate Qi. Especially since he was an immortal, unlike ordinary immortals like Zhang Boduan, his innate Qi didn't even originate from this world, but from a "world" he created himself.

While other deities might rely on the power of heaven and earth, He Songling's power came entirely from himself. In short, it can be summed up in four words:

His position was equal to that of the heavens.

With He Songling's current level of cultivation, he could truly call himself the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven." Even if there were a Heavenly Court and a Jade Emperor, they would have to treat him as an equal and not as a subject of the Heavenly Emperor.

This is not only about superior combat strength, but also about equality in cultivation and realm.

However, if He Songling were truly on par with the heavens, he would be unacceptable to this world, especially since he is different from figures like Laozi, Anla, and God, whose souls were not born in this land and would have been rejected by heaven and earth at that time.

Fortunately, He Songling was already practically a god at that time. Even though Zhang Boduan's memory tricked him, He Songling unconsciously controlled himself and didn't completely merge into one. He opened a back door in his own time chamber, briefly linking this world of "Under One Person" with the world he created, which allowed him to continue staying in this world.

However, it won't be long, perhaps only a few years, or even less. The trend towards "perfection" is unstoppable, and He Songling will eventually achieve spiritual and physical perfection and ascend to heaven. These petty tricks are truly useless.

He can remain in this realm in this way now because this world is giving him face; if you insert a tube into someone, they can't possibly not know. Therefore, he should also give this world face. Leaving aside their current equal status, when he was weak, this world directly designated his soul as a top-tier innate divine soul, helping him immensely.

Without this, he wouldn't have been able to comprehend the miracles of the Western God of Death so quickly, nor would he have been able to break through the deadly path of the Threefold Reversal of Life in such a short time.

For this reason alone, He Songling has to give face to Heaven and Earth; when it's time for him to leave, he has to leave.

But there's no rush. I've slept for so long, I should go out and find some fun.

He Songling didn't care about the others. After doing some calculations, he found that Lu Huizhong was still alive, but she wasn't very active anymore. The Sanyi Sect was doing well, although it hadn't developed as well as he had hoped—after all, not everyone was as talented as him and Zuo Ruotong, but in the current circle of supernatural beings, they still held a special position.

Because of the existence of "Trinity University," the overall lower limit and average strength of the superhumans were raised somewhat. However, what He Songling found somewhat regrettable was that the combination of Qi cultivation and technology did not flourish more; on the contrary, it became even more restrictive than when he was in power.

However, he couldn't be bothered with all that. Seventy years had passed, and he was long gone. There was no need for him to meddle in worldly affairs anymore.

Over the years, Trinity University has become formalized, standardized, and structured. There would be no place for him if he went back. So He Songling decisively chose to trick his junior brother, Lu Jin, who is now one of the Ten Elders.
