New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 6 I was killed first, and then I was killed back, it was self-defense!
"It's actually very simple to turn back into a human. You can actively deactivate the [Boss Template] at any time and return to human form. While in human form, you can also activate the template at any time and load the Tiger Demon form. But I don't recommend it. Wait a moment."

"Oh? Why?" The tiger was puzzled.

Snake: "Have you seen the health bar? It's not fully restored yet. Your current human body died from excessive blood loss. It was the divine blessing of the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] that allowed you to successfully transform. Your current physical body is covered and protected by the [Boss Template], sharing the benefits of health and mana recovery. The fact that your health has not been fully restored means that the Tiger Demon itself has been damaged, and your human body is also undergoing repair. So wait until your health is 100% before untransforming, and you will be a brave man again!"

Yuan Zhu was delighted when he heard this: "With the [Boss Template], won't any illness or injury be able to be cured by bugs in the future? This is good news."

"That's right. But the [Boss Template] has its limits. It's only limited to ordinary human-level diseases and fatal injuries. If a limb is broken and lost, it may not be able to grow back. As for injuries caused by other sources of pollution, curses, and extraordinary diseases... the situation is also unknown."

Yuan Zhu was not disappointed: "That's great. Even a fatal wound that pierces the heart can be repaired. It's incredible!"

The elf quickly added, "There's one more thing to note. In Tiger Demon form, your health and mana regeneration are all overlaid on your human form. However, in human form, you only enjoy the most basic 'Soul Firewall' protection of the [Immortal Scripture]. Beyond that, you receive no additional support."

Cat was shocked: "Why is this happening? You are discriminating against humans. How dare you?!"

The snake elf remained unmoved and calmly responded, "Because the [Demon (Deformed) Spiritual Root] is a precious hidden resource, it shouldn't have appeared in your possession. If the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] hadn't been contaminated and its hidden data hadn't been leaked, and I had promptly intercepted it as compensation, you wouldn't have been able to access it at all."

"Normally, after safely arriving in the Immortal Cultivation Universe, users like you will load the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture Client] and access the normal cultivation panel. Guided by the game spirit, you will access spiritual resources and practice cultivation techniques. Through your own efforts, you will search for and accumulate natural treasures, and synthesize ordinary spiritual roots based on your own attributes. This is the orthodox way to cultivate immortality!"

"And now, you've loaded the [Deformed Spiritual Root] and ascended to the heavens. Outside of your human form (normal faceplate), you've transformed into a demonic being. After deactivating the [Boss Template], this power will be hidden within the unique space created by your soul data, undetectable to the outside world. You'll only appear as a normal human faceplate."

"To explain it in gaming terms, it's dual class, dual templates. Plus, a hidden bloodline, and it won't affect any training in your human form. In other words, if you suddenly don't want to be human anymore, you still have the possibility of dual bloodlines. However, strictly speaking, the Tiger Demon has transcended the scope of bloodlines and is more like a special, independent body. It's somewhat similar to the Susanoo you remember."

Yuan Zhu was very surprised by this. He climbed up and tried to move his limbs, carefully feeling every inch of his body, which was no different from a real flesh and blood body.

"Then is my current 'Tiger Demon Body' actually Yuan Zhu's human body? Do I have two bodies?"

Snake Elf: "I can't explain this; it's too profound. I'm just an ordinary novice tutorial navigation elf. I only know that the bloodline information of the [Tiger Demon] is all written into the [Deformed Spirit Root]. Now the spiritual root is rooted deep in your soul, integrated with you. To activate the [Tiger Demon] form, you must rely on a human body. When you return to human form, you will be disconnected from the [Boss Template] and only remain running in the background, providing the most basic soul firewall services."

There was a clear stupidity in the cat's eyes: "Amazing! I think I understand something? But only a little bit."

Sheshe's eyes were also dull, and she agreed fiercely: "Yeah, I kind of understand it too."

This tiger and the other snake, two people with 'deformed spiritual roots', clearly knew nothing, but one dared to teach and the other dared to believe, and their communication was very pleasant.

The skull snake head shook its empty skull and screamed, "Oh my! Why is my soul program getting slower and slower? The more I think, the slower I get. Do I need to grow a brain?"

The Dark Big Cat was also immersed in his own transformation, muttering to himself: "Great, I'm gradually understanding everything!"

Just when Tiger Head and Snake Tail were about to fall into a vicious circle, a mental alarm from [The Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] pulled the two out of the vortex of brain damage.

“Uh…→_→”, “←_←…Hmm”

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

...

At this moment, the game elf suddenly broke the silence and said, "Actually, I was born less than half an hour ago. I'm still very immature, a blank slate. I haven't had time to build my own logical models, and I don't have any accumulated life wisdom or experience. The reason I can communicate now is entirely due to relying on your thinking patterns and accessing your memory bank. Only then can we connect with each other. I can use the language that understands you best to better understand you, guide you, and assist you."

Yuan Zhu: "Forget it, I forgive you. You are just a temporary instruction manual for a spirit. How can I expect anything from you? People must rely on themselves. When I return to human form, what should I do if I get hurt?"

Little Tail earnestly offered a suggestion: "Two methods. 1. Find an uninhabited place, enter Tiger Demon Form, absorb the power of shadows, and repair your human body. 2. Deactivate the [Boss Template], and slowly recuperate in a pure human form while waiting for recovery. Completely severing the human form from the [Boss Template] is actually a protective measure. It was originally intended to prevent the local experts in the cultivation world from detecting the [Boss Template] hidden within the user. With a clean body and synthetic spiritual roots (ordinary client), infiltrate the sect and practice."

"If you're seriously injured and blessed by the [Boss Template], you'll be constantly passively regenerating health. This obvious abnormality will inevitably attract attention, leading to soul searching and the exposing of the secrets hidden deep within your soul, which could lead to the exposure of [Xian Jing Lao Deng]... The company has long anticipated this vulnerability. To you, your life is the most important thing. But to the company, you are not important. Hiding [Xian Jing Lao Deng] is the top priority."

"Users are worthless; they can die at any time and be replaced at any moment. Besides, you're not even a legitimate user. And I, on the other hand, am a contaminated anomalous data, at risk of being detected and eliminated. Furthermore, I was born because of you, a part of your soul. Therefore, we are naturally on the same side, and should cooperate with each other to dig into the corners of the [Immortal Scripture], taking every step carefully, first to break free from control, then to grow bigger and stronger, and create glory together!"

As she spoke excitedly, the bone snake elf twisted its body violently, making a crackling sound. If snakes couldn't grow arms, Yuan Zhu could almost see her opening her arms and embracing success. "That's enough, calm down. I agree to cooperate! Old Deng of the Great Wasteland treated me so badly, using me as a pawn, don't blame me for being unjust! Exploit his gold and seize his inheritance."

The elf suddenly became excited. "That's right! Even if it gave you the chance to travel through time and be reborn, gave you the [Boss Template] cheat, repaired your injuries, gave you a soul firewall, and even provided a new client for your human form, it has no good intentions. It deserves to be blasted!"

Yuan Zhu: "You said it very well. I will hold it back next time!"

The black tiger demon noticed its health had reached 100%, then turned its head to scan the bloodstains and body parts scattered throughout the dim hall. The air was filled with the smell of blood and the unpleasant odor of demonic flesh...

It truly was a filthy hell on earth. Even without mysophobia, he couldn't stand it. If it weren't for the need to absorb the 'polluted aura' from the shadows beneath his feet to restore his health and mana, he wouldn't have wanted to stay even a second longer.

"I can't stand this damn place anymore! Now that my health is full, I don't plan to stay any longer. It's time to explore the outside world!"

He traveled through another world, encountered the evil god's sacrifice, got a cheat, and killed everyone. Now he is a young man full of vigor and ambition, and it is the right age to go out and explore the world.

The snake tail of the shadow tiger demon also had its own ideas. It suddenly swam, pulled the vertebrae, and suddenly flew out like a retractable whip. It opened its mouth and grabbed a pocket watch that fell to the ground, and then bounced back.

He bit open the watch cover and grabbed the golden chain, then swam along the black tiger's spine to its neck, then stood up high and dropped the dial in front of the tiger demon's eyes.

"Look, it's already 3:00 p.m., time is running out. It's time to act, erase the clues you left behind, destroy the evidence, and take the first step to clear your name!"

Young people are full of vigor and vitality, and it is the best time to clear their names and escape from their crimes! It is impossible for me to attain enlightenment in Longchang just after crossing over and turning 18.

"Clear yourself?" Yuan Zhu was stunned, his tone filled with confusion and doubt.

The snake elf nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes. You just crossed over and were involved in a vicious murder case. Now you are the sole survivor. So let me ask you, do you think you can still integrate into this world quietly and adapt to it like those ordinary travelers?"

Only then did Yuan Zhu realize his identity in this world: he was just an ordinary 18-year-old working boy. He had studied hard for 18 years, never come into contact with any extraordinary power, and had no background. Suddenly, he was drawn into this sacrificial ritual and became a sacrifice.

If I hadn't traveled through time, this would have been a murder case with seven lives lost. But now...

The elf added, "This has now escalated into a massive, vicious homicide case with 41 lives lost! It also involves multiple, unidentified polluting energies and the arrival of an evil spirit, making it even more devastating. The most urgent task is to find a way to clear ourselves of suspicion!"

"What the hell! 41 people?!"

The tiger was shocked, and jumped up with a whoosh. He asked in disbelief, "What did you say?!"

"I watched the entire process with a cold eye. A total of 34 fanatical believers were corrupted and twisted by various sources of pollution, transformed into indescribable monsters. Six more dead bodies also rose from the dead and transformed. Therefore, Your Majesty, you personally slew 6 deformed demons that threatened social security. Slaying demons and enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven! Truly immeasurable merit. It's a shame this isn't the 'Immortal Universe,' otherwise, the golden light of your merit alone would have allowed you to exonerate yourself."

The Tiger Demon King's flatterer, the elf, quickly started to slander his boss, building up his mentality and helping him to relieve his guilt.

"Yes, that's right! I was also a victim, passively counterattacking. I was killed first, and then I fought back. It was absolutely self-defense. And when I attacked, those guys were no longer human, but polluted and twisted monsters. I was saving the world. And it was you who actually did it. There is only one truth: you are the murderer! You used [The Universe in Your Belly] to devour those evil demons."

Yuan Zhu decisively put the blame on himself.

The elf nodded repeatedly and took the blame forcefully, "Ah, yes, yes! That's right. But your choice of words is a little inappropriate, my king. It's not 'devoured', but sealed and contained. I am also a partner of justice. And you are justice!"

"Well said! Let's continue next time."
