New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 96: You actually betrayed the Holy Light? (Updated under the title of [Deng Anping])
After absorbing the knowledge provided by the captain, Yuan Zhu pondered: "Captain, if we compare it with [Holy Light], where does [Disease] rank among all the supernatural powers?"

He wanted to compare the two to gain a more intuitive understanding of the potential behind the disease. This would allow him to judge the strength of the forces behind it and determine whether he could afford to offend them.

The captain replied, "Currently, [Disease] is inferior to [Holy Light]. The [Viral Universe] is the last of the external universes connected to the Duling Spirit. The 'disease pollution sources' it brings are chaotic, dangerous, and fragmented, and have yet to be fully integrated into the Duling Spirit, giving rise to a complete transcendental system that unifies all 'diseases'. Instead, a large number of different 'diseases' are treated as resources, fought over and integrated by the local pollution system. Its situation is similar to that of the [Plant Universe]. Therefore, the fragmented alien [disease pollution] is far inferior to the highly complete local [Holy Light] system."

Yuan Zhu understood that no matter which universe's supernatural system came from, upon entering Duling, it would be broken down. Either it would assimilate and adapt, abiding by local rules, or it would be digested and absorbed, becoming part of the local pollution.

The [Disease Garden] he currently occupied was likely closely related to the illness of "coughing." It was merely one of the vast array of diseases contaminating the [Viral Universe], and naturally couldn't compare to the vast and powerful [Holy Light].

The captain then added, "From the diseased plants you provided, it's clear that the forces behind this are considering entering the new field of [disease]. By controlling a certain 'disease pollution source', they've developed their own extraordinary system. However, they're hiding their true intentions and are very cautious, so their intentions are currently unknown. Since they're so low-key, as long as you don't proactively reveal the location of that 'garden', you can remain in peace for a while."

However, Yuan Zhu did not like the feeling of hidden dangers always existing, so he asked, "Captain, are you interested in this [Disease Garden]?"

"Not interested in!"

The captain shook his head and explained, "I serve the [Mao Mao King], whose power is far removed from the realm of disease. Therefore, the [Happy House] has no interest in taking over the garden space you mentioned. However, based on your description, that [Garden Space] does have some value, and it's attractive to systems like [Disease, Filthy Bones, and Earthly Immortals]. I can help you contact interested buyers."

Yuan Zhu was delighted when he heard this: "Then I'll leave it to you, Captain!"

The captain warned, "Don't be too happy too soon. Even if you do contact the buyer, these people are not easy to deal with. If you don't have the strength, you will inevitably be robbed by the swindlers. Both the [Virus Universe] and the [Disease Pollution] have been classified as forbidden pollution since their discovery, on the same level as the [Filthy Bones Mother]. Once discovered, they must be destroyed. There is no room for compromise. Anyone who dares to contact and master the [Disease System] must be a major villain in the evil camp. You must not let Zhou Chu find you, she will definitely kill you at all costs."

"Uh...Σ(⊙▽⊙"a?" Are you mistaken? I just want to sell this garden.

The captain was indeed spying on the screen, knowing every move the investigator made. But did he think I was secretly trying to absorb and master [Disease Contamination]? Do I look that hungry?

Captain: "Anything else?"

Yuan Zhu nodded quickly, "Yes, yes. I'm very interested in [Anti-Law], but I've already chosen [Holy Light] as my core foundation. Zhou Chu said that once you choose a power system, there's no turning back. I wonder if there's any other way to cultivate both? What are the conditions?"

The captain was not surprised at all when he heard this greedy question. Instead, he stared at Yuan Zhu meaningfully: See, I guessed right!
How could someone who cultivated the Holy Light to the point of nearly completing the seal in less than a week, surpassing years of effort by others, not have hidden secrets and fortuitous encounters? Furthermore, the Holy Light on the other party smelled off; it was obvious that they had used the extremely evil Ash Seal, which had caused the Holy Light to undergo a slight deterioration.

Yuan Zhu obviously had access to and mastered "resources" far beyond his current level, which allowed him to quickly elevate the Holy Light to this level, and he still had the spare capacity and ambition to advance into [Anti-Law].

The "disease plants" he had previously displayed, as well as his willingness to sell the "disease garden" to an unknown entity, proved that this guy was quite unconventional, possessed abundant resources, and possessed great courage. Otherwise, how could a newcomer who had just entered the "Gods' Space" turn around and plan to illegally resell the "Spiritual Layer. Enclosed Small Space"?

Taking all these factors into consideration, there is only one truth! The captain gently pushed up his lenses, his eyes obscured by a reflection.

He quipped lightly, "[Anti-Law]? When you say [Anti-Law], you mean you want to be the source of control over [Anti-Law], not just a 'signatory', right? It seems you're hiding a big secret, otherwise why would you harbor such ambitions?"

Yuan Zhu was extremely frustrated by this. Since he had consulted the [Anti-Law] question, it meant that he possessed a demon god-level starting capital. Otherwise, how could he have loaned money against the law? As long as he had asked this question, he had already revealed his wealth.

This is also the reason why he is unwilling to consult such issues in Running.

An ordinary college student like the senior student clearly only knew the outlines of the "Anti-Law" movement, not the inner workings, and couldn't help him embark on the path of dual cultivation. Anyone who could answer such a question would be a ruthless character, ready to exploit his opponent and then exploit him to the bone. He dared to question the captain mainly because the atmosphere in "Happy House" was too relaxed and harmonious. Even Zhou Chu, the anti-fraud pioneer who daily and directly denigrated the mastermind behind the scenes, "Maomao Wang," hadn't been kicked out. His small ambition naturally didn't arouse the captain's greed.

Even if he really miscalculated and was forced by the captain to extort the so-called "opportunity", he could easily use the "Disease Garden" as an excuse.

His Holy Light's rapid rise was the result of purifying diseased crops. Now, optimistic about the potential of 'disease pollution,' he coveted the resources within the garden, eager to embrace the viral universe, lend disease, seize the initiative, and become the Anti-Law Demon... Hence, he consulted the inside story of [Anti-Law]; the logic was clear and logical, absolutely flawless!

Seeing that Yuan Zhu seemed to be hesitant to speak and had already prepared a lie in his mind, the captain quickly interrupted:

"Don't answer me. I don't believe what you say, nor am I interested. The [Mao Mao King] doesn't mind his employees embarking on the path of anti-law. On the contrary, the stronger you become, the greater the room for our cooperation. In this era, choosing [anti-law] has long been the mainstream. Your ideas and ambitions are correct. It's just that the 'timing' you chose is too early. Do you know why it is the 'third generation' now?"

Yuan Zhu naturally didn't know, so he shook his head: "I don't understand, why?"

"The second generation was known as the [Transcendent Industrial Revolution]. Transcendent systems called [Industrial God Systems] arose across the globe, eventually spawning numerous variations. These were the entirely new paths to godhood forged by the gods and demons of Duling, combining the principles of the two universes of magic and industry. They transformed industries into [priesthoods], brand concepts into [godhoods], and factories into [divine kingdoms]. They eliminated reliance on the 'power of faith' and transformed industrial production capacity and sales into [divine power]. This gave rise to a vast number of 'industrial gods and demons' still active today, significantly advancing the progress of Duling civilization."

This is the mythical version of the industrial productivity revolution, right? The industrial mythology system crushed the traditional religious mythology system, forcing the Duling to upgrade its extraordinary industry for the second time, thus giving rise to the second generation.

It was during this period that the Xi Nation, which believed in Huang Tian, was crushed by the Red Dragon Empire, which actively embraced "super-industrialization." They fled across the sea to the New World, leaving their weapons and armor behind. Huang Tian was also replaced by Red Tian in the second generation.

It matches the history textbooks of Duling! It also matches the history textbooks of Earth!

The advanced 'industrial myth system' eliminated the 'first generation. pollution myth system' with backward production capacity.

Captain: "However, the emergence of the Third Generation quickly eliminated the [Transcendent Industrial Generation]. This was due to the rapid rise of the [Artificial Heavenly Dao. Pale Great Law] (Law System), which attempted to unify all 'Transcendent Systems (Sources of Pollution)', and the [Anti-Law] that emerged based on the Law."

"[Anti-Law] can bypass the complex steps of the [Industrial God System], such as 'Industrial God Realm, Industry Godship, Brand Godhead...' and directly utilize the rules of the [Law System] to treat a [Pollution Source] as a 'Law' to constrain and operate. By abiding by the rules of [Anti-Law], it can gradually grow larger and stronger, and challenge the status of gods and demons. [Anti-Law] is another capital magic path that is even more shortcut than the [Industrial God System]."

"I understand this!"

Yuan Zhu suddenly realized that the first generation of Duling was still very primitive, belonging to the stage of mythological revival. Various sources of pollution, disguised as traditional myths, descended into the world. Practitioners threw themselves into these, implanting root bones, Buddha cocoons, and holy marks, and began to cultivate immortality, Buddhahood, and angelism...

However, in the second generation, the Industrial God System, practitioners began to identify themselves with pollution sources, began to package themselves, and operated themselves as "brands (god names)." Industrial ascension became mainstream, as simple as opening a factory. A large number of industrial gods and demons began to emerge, and Running ushered in a period of rapid development.

In today's third generation, more young practitioners, having gained control of pollution sources, have abandoned traditional mythological manufacturing and directly leveraged the endorsement of the super platform [Anti-Law/Law Order System]. Using a financial-like approach, they operate their own pollution sources (Anti-Law) and rapidly reach the status of gods and demons. Faster, more demonic!
I understand. I understand everything.

Classical primitive gods and demons → modern industrial gods and demons → contemporary capitalist gods and demons.

The three generations of Duling are very scientific! Yuan Zhu, with his Earthly perspective, feels he can grab a piece of the pie from this third generation. This [Anti-Law Avenue] is destined for me.
