When you are strong, you only need to pursue what you want and do what you want to do. As long as you don't violate your bottom line, basically no one will dare to point fingers at you.
Unless they are troublemakers from Konoha.
"You're all covered in blood and still not dead? You call this a genuine, mortal person?"
I think I am.
"Okay... then."
When one plan failed, another was devised. Naya changed her voice to a very distinctive one, making her sound like a doctor speaking anxiously.
"Sorcerer Xia Jie, can you hear me? You are not a transmigrator, nor do you know any Heavenly Demon Laws. Everything you see is an illusion within the inner world. Do not believe those illusions, or you will be trapped forever!!!"
No sooner had the words left her lips than another motherly voice spoke:
"My child, please come back soon. Your father and mother are waiting for you outside. Please promise your mother that you won't be obsessed anymore, okay? I'm begging you!"
Then came the father's voice:
"Son, I'll never force you to go on blind dates again. I'll take you out for a big meal, just the three of us, okay?"
Xia Jie raised her eyebrows as she listened.
666, you're using this trick again?
Are you trying to trick me like Li Huowang?
"It's useless. I've seen enough of those kinds of lines. For example, 'I'm in a mental illusion, and I'll die from the mental calamity if I don't wake up.' Or 'I'm actually dreaming, and when I wake up, it'll be the end of the dream.' Take it away, it's so boring."
"My son..."
"It's no use, Nyarlathotep. Don't you think that if this were truly a mental landscape where wishes come true, then all illusions should be as you wish, and there wouldn't be someone like you questioning me. At most, there would be a brainless villain who would make me look foolish."
"...Aren't you worried about what might happen if what I said is true? For example, all your questions might be subconscious self-questioning because you haven't completely given up on reality."
"So what if it's real, so what if it's fake? Let alone the interior, even if I were a brain in a vat, or even virtual data, there would be no need for me to doubt myself. Time will prove everything. If this place is fake, one day the real thing will come and humiliate me. I don't need you to remind me."
"What if the illusion is eternal?"
"What's wrong with the world of illusions? We can make do with it."
“…You’re utterly stupid to an absurd degree,” Nyarlathotep sighed.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you take advantage of my suppression of negative possibilities and consume Tzeentch's concept to become stronger?"
Xia Jie clenched her fist, ready to deliver a punch to Naya's mortal avatar.
Just then, a group of children suddenly fell out of the crevice.
For a moment, the cries of children echoed throughout the limestone room.
"Your ability to suppress negative possibilities has its limits. In this space of transcendent retreat and weakest suppression, your power is sufficient to protect yourself, but as for these children... well, that's another story."
Nyarlathotep didn't say everything, but the underlying threat was already obvious.
Are you threatening me?
Only now did Xia Jie finally feel a trace of anger.
"It's not a threat, it's a deal. You stay in this 'sealed chamber' for a month in exchange for their safety."
"If I accept the deal, you will gain a one-month first-mover advantage and find a way to completely eliminate me."
If I don't accept it, they will die because of me, and most likely they will die in agony, in order to prevent me from comforting myself with the idea that I can be resurrected afterward, thus creating a psychological vulnerability in me.
That's your plan, right?
Although it was a question, Xia Jie said it with an affirmative tone.
A classic villainous tactic, it's quite effective against superheroes, but unfortunately, they chose the wrong target this time.
"You guessed right, what's your answer?"
"I refuse."
Xia Jie shook her head without even a second's hesitation.
"Why? Based on my profile of your personality, you should have pretended to agree, and then worked hard to accumulate strength in your anger to seek a breakthrough in your power, right?"
This is bad, a terrible premonition... The confident smile that had been fixed on Naya's face ever since she stepped out of the rift slowly faded away.
Naya felt that things were developing a bit beyond her control.
"Because there's no need for all that trouble, accumulating strength to break through? Heh, I can do it right now!"
Somewhat angered by the hostage situation, Xia Jie stared directly into Naya's deep black eyes and said, word by word.
"real or fake?"
Having lost interest in making jokes, Xia Jie didn't respond and started reciting Cheng Zun's poem directly.
Since Nyarlathotep so desires to see a powerful individual whose morality and strength are equally perfect, then let him show Nyarlathotep what that means.
Time is fleeting and never-ending, and the cycle of suffering continues forever.
"The sun and moon scorch the millet of yin and yang, and all living beings are burned to ashes in the stove."
"Where is the Divine Lord, who needs my help? And where is Taiyi, whose memories are still being woven?"
"If the tree is weary from the daytime, it will perch and depart; the star and dragon will carry its light to illuminate the past and present."
"Gold and jade are cooked with ease, and the years pass by, returning to a youthful state."
"Celebrating the Dharma, riding through the four seasons, executing the dead, burning their coffins, and sealing the netherworld!"
The inner universe resounded with a deafening roar, and Xia Jie, who had already grown into a demigod of memory in the Sun and Moon Universe, would complete his true ascension here.
Chapter 124 Memory Star God
The inner universe is a mental universe that transcends a single linear time; past cognition, present cognition, and future cognition all exist within it simultaneously.
Therefore, although the internalization of the universe occurred in 2015, the Ironclad that was released 20 years later will still exist in the inner world.
As a cognitive foundation that took shape in the information age, fantasy concepts such as the destiny of memory, the star god Fuli, and the benevolent heaven already exist.
In the inner universe, besides one's own belief and imagination, the power that one can draw upon from the cognitive foundation is also a major source of strength.
The conceptual ideas within the foundation are like a throne suspended high in the sky; how much power you can draw from them depends entirely on your beliefs and how well you resonate with them.
If the average person's compatibility with "memory" is around one percent, the remembrancer's is ten percent, and the Pure One's is ninety to ninety-nine percent, then Xia Jie's compatibility with the concept of "memory" is a solid one hundred percent, making her a perfect embodiment of the concept.
Even if Xia Jie's beliefs were not used to suppress overly negative fantasies, such as Fourth Sister Xiao Yang's Index, his afterlife, and the cesspool of the subspace, then Xia Jie would be the only legitimate memory, and the false destiny has no right to award him honors.
If we compare compatibility to the affection level that Ga La gives to Mu Li, then for Xia Jie, memory is like a yandere-level unrequited love, ready to go all the way, a one-sided, unwavering devotion that doesn't need a confession.
Xia Jie, who only craves the thrill of battle, has always refused to "harmonize with the Dao" and refuses to become the philosophical embodiment of "memory".
But now, an angry Xia Jie says to her memories, "Become one with me."
"Okay!" Memory immediately agreed.
Thus, Xia Jie became a being who had attained physical form, and in the illusory inner universe, she was elevated to the status of a true Star God of Memory.
Before him, all things retreated; on his body, boundless flowing light wove together into an ethereal garment; behind him, all things transformed into a flawless, flowing memory.
When time becomes the amber of memory, all things can flow forward in stillness.
Xia Jie grew tall, majestic, and even grand, so large that size lost its meaning, so large that the universe fell into his palm.
Those powerful beings in the universe who were able to observe Xia Jie's ascension process first felt an immense shock, and then they could no longer even feel the shock.
When an object is so large that it loses its frame of reference, humans cannot feel its awe; the same applies to deities.
This scene is like a dream.
Later generations praised it in a poem:
The sun and moon shine anew in my palm, and the earth is cleansed and radiant in my heart.
Who has witnessed its brilliance throughout the ages? I myself have wielded its radiance as a robe of Dharma.
Beyond the myriad phenomena, in the void, Xia Jie held up the inner universe in her hands, thought for a moment, and decided to say something before clearing the level.
Time flies by without a trace, and all living beings are fleeting and impermanent.
"Abundant prosperity and peace are hard to maintain, and fleeting dreams and fragrant illusions are hard to keep."
The sound flowed into the inner universe, transforming into the vast celestial sounds heard by all living beings.
Inside the Wang family compound, Wang Bing, who had been clamoring for his grandfather Wang Ai to avenge him, suddenly froze.
Strange, wasn't Xia Jie, who killed me once, sealed away on Longhu Mountain? Why is his voice coming down from the sky? Am I hallucinating?
Wang Ai disregarded her past affection for her beloved grandson and picked up her cane to beat him mercilessly: "Revenge? Even in this state, you still think about revenge? I'll give you a piece of my mind!"
Above the universe, Xia Jie's voice still echoes:
“My name is Xia Jie. Today, I have attained enlightenment in the inner realm and achieved the ‘One Unleashed Primordial Nature’, thus ascending to the rank of Heavenly Lord.”
"The principle of the existence of all things has been clarified, and it can be understood as cognition, memory, pure and undefiled Dharma, mind, dreams, and the constant nature of all phenomena."
"Because I feel that the suffering of all beings is endless and the karmic fire of this world is never-ending, I now establish this path of enlightenment to save all sentient beings."
“From this point on, all beings can take consciousness as their form and memory as their body.”
"There is no fear of dying young, and no calamity of disease or disaster."
"No worries about food and clothing, no toil and toil."
"No pain of separation from loved ones, no hardship of loneliness."
"There is no resentment between the rich and the poor, nor any distinction between the noble and the lowly."
"This is what is meant by the extraordinary blessings bestowed by Heaven, the 'Great One Paradise'."
From then on, Xia Jie's title was changed from "Yi Guang Dong Yu Zhen Jun" to "Yi Yi Dong Yi Huan Zhou Tian Jun".
Taiyi, Paradise, the end of life... Lao Xia's words of enlightenment are full of essential elements when placed in Beng Tie.
Within the cognitive framework of the Collapsed Iron, concepts such as order, abundance, joy, and preservation began to resonate intensely, and were then accepted one by one by the Star God Xia Jie.
Thus, many destinies followed memory, transforming from the abstract into the concrete, rising from limited imaginary concepts within the cognitive framework to eternal and immortal cosmic rules.
Congratulations to the players of the "One Person Universe" game! They're finally getting to experience real-life Destiny.
Among them, the Memory Path is the most special, because the Star God's generosity has greatly lowered the entry threshold for this path.
