From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 597 Life is not born only when it is permitted!

Generally speaking, things involving concepts are extremely complex and terrifying!

In traditional understanding, gods can freely transform between physical and energy bodies, which is why it is extremely difficult for mortals to kill them! Because if mortals do not use the power of laws, they can never truly kill a god! Of course, this god is one who can condense a divine position in various senses, not those servants of gods without divine positions.

The simplest way to use the power of laws is to become a god! When mortals can wield the power of laws, are they still mortals? This is why the saying "Only a god can kill a god" circulates in the divine realm.

Conversely, the reason why the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was almost worn down by Ye Lingling is because the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is not a god! And as long as one is not a god, one is capable of being killed by mortals! Thus, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who considered himself invincible, was very fortunate to meet Ye Lingling.

"I told you, I can't kill you." The Azure Lotus Domain directly destroyed the Sea God Domain. In the pitch-black sky filled with thunder and rain, an incomparably dazzling azure lotus flower was about to bloom atop the Sea God Tang San's head. Beneath its vibrant green exterior lay a terrifying sight: countless ugly, twisted tentacles were deeply rooted within the Sea God Tang San's body! Under the devouring power of this azure lotus, which seemed to come from ancient times and was filled with the aura of ancient ages, the Sea God Tang San's previously full and strong body was withering away in large areas. His naturally handsome skin turned yellow in an instant. In almost the blink of an eye, the Sea God Tang San, who had just been dignified and majestic, was greedily extracted into skin and bones by the roots that emerged from the void before anyone could react!

Those ugly, thick roots, resembling grotesque blood vessels, were like countless tentacles from a dark abyss. They originated from the neck of the Sea God Tang San, frantically taking root and multiplying within his body. Numerous ugly tentacles, baring their fangs and claws, struggled and thrashed through the gaps in his divine armor! These tentacles seemed to all emerge from Tang San's body, then turned towards the strange, ever-growing green lotus above his head, like sacred servants worshipping their god. Their demeanor was incomparably holy, yet their posture was utterly ugly and twisted!

People always marvel at the beauty of life because what they see are the brilliant flowers that life blooms after a long period of accumulation, but they cannot see the roots beneath life that draw from all things in heaven and earth, devour decaying flesh and bones, and spread and climb in the land of death!

From the perspective of God in the divine realm, the eerie blue lotus that was constantly surging and growing above the head of the Sea God Tang San, and was about to bloom, was so eerie, yet so beautiful, so beautiful that one did not want to interrupt this process of life blossoming!

From Tang San's perspective, what he saw was countless ugly and terrifying roots stripping away his body. All the energy related to the body was under the control of the eerie green lotus, turning into its nutrients! It was a dark and terrifying process!

"But as you said, we took everything from you. Fine, now I'm ready to strip you of your body." Amidst the lightning and thunder, the eerie blue lotus grew vigorously above the head of the Sea God Tang San. The buds swayed slightly in the storm, an accumulation of life, and also another kind of withering of life!

The moment this eerie blue lotus bloomed into the heavens and earth, it marked the permanent stripping of the Sea God Tang San from his physical body, his species altered, and he became a spirit! From that moment on, the Sea God Tang San would no longer bleed! There would be no more gender distinctions! He would never again possess a physical body!

"No!!! You can't do that!!!" Until the very last moment, Poseidon Tang San refused to give up his body! Because once he gave up the concept of his body, it meant he also gave up the concept of his gender! He would become a completely undead creature!

As the Sea God Tang San, who had completed his divine transformation, he could sense the power of laws contained within the evil green lotus blooming above his head! Ye Lingling, while completing the extremely difficult transformation of her divine body, also completed the divine transformation of her martial soul! Ye Lingling's original martial soul, the Nine-Hearted Begonia, was said to be able to completely heal anyone who had just a breath left; this was itself a power and authority inherent in her martial soul! And now, with the Nine-Hearted Begonia undergoing its divine transformation, the appearance of the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus signifies that the power and authority inherent in Ye Lingling's martial soul had also completed its divine transformation!

Sea God Tang San could sense the laws and concepts within that evil green lotus! If he dared to abandon his divine body, he would be immediately reduced to an undead creature in a conceptual sense! His life attribute would be redefined from life to death! Although an undead body would not prevent him from becoming a God King, the loss of his physical body would ultimately cause him to lose the benefits that a physical body could bring him!

Re-forming a physical body the day after tomorrow?! Dream on! Once the divine body of Sea God Tang San is stripped away, he will be a 'Congenital Undead'! Re-forming a physical body will only hinder his future development! As a god's realm increases, their strength grows, and their power becomes closer to their origin. At that time, Sea God Tang San's origin will be a 'Congenital Undead'!

"No? Why can't I?" In the pitch-black storm before dawn, black lightning flashed continuously, the sky flickered and darkened, Ye Lingling coldly pinched the Sea God Tang San, whose head was now adorned with the final form of the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus, with one hand, her voice clear and indifferent.

She, who holds life in her hands, is the most gentle and radiant.

She, who holds the reins of life, is also the most indifferent and ruthless.

The cold wind and rain stirred the blue flower bud that swayed playfully like a sprite in the storm. The blue-flame girl slowly pulled the trident of the sea god from her heart.

"Life is never born only because it is permitted."

"Take you for example. I didn't want you to come to this, but you still did."

"For example, I want the lotus to bloom, but whether you, as the lotus, agree or not, I don't care."

Upon hearing this, Tang San, the Sea God who was almost nothing but bones, looked at the azure flame girl in front of him with astonishment. In her azure eyes was a calmness and indifference that terrified him. Her indifference was not from her very bones, nor was it due to other external factors, but rather a kind of indifference of life itself.

The birth of life does not follow the will of life itself!

Everyone follows a life instinct.

From this moment on, Sea God Tang San finally panicked; he saw in the girl before him...

The Great Way is terrifyingly ruthless!
