From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

For love, one can sacrifice one's own life to save the lighthouse from danger, but one can also abandon one's principles for love and use the threat of others' lives to achieve revenge.

As for good and evil—

In the apocalypse, everything is about survival; discussing good and evil is absurd.

Wearing a cloak and mask typical of members of the Light and Shadow Society, Lu Jin quietly observed everything from among the still-living members. Finally, she focused her gaze on Charles, wanting to see what choice this city lord, who had risen to power by murdering Mark, would make.

"The Lord of Light and Shadow will never abandon me."

Charles glanced at the pain and resentment in Orland's eyes, but paid no attention. However, looking at his father, he had no choice but to approach the abyss.

The Abyss Walker is a biological armor that senses the life essence of humans. As Charles approached, it automatically opened, revealing a scene that resembled flames.

Something's not right!

Regarding Dr. Carrie's experiments on living beings with the Abyss, Lu Jin had also observed it with his mental power. The Abyss would indeed sense the approach of humans and open up, but a light red viscous liquid would emerge from inside, covering the entire human body and enveloping it completely.

But now?

A golden light emanated from the back of the Abyss-Dweller, accompanied by waves of heat that destroyed Charles's clothes.

Brother Jiang!

Using the light from the ancestral aperture, Lu Jin transmitted the image to Jiang Liu in real time.

【I see.】

Seeing this through Lu Jin's eyes, Jiang Liu suddenly realized what was going on.

Charles's genes were altered in his childhood by a projection of a higher-dimensional will into three-dimensional space, which is why he was able to maintain his will despite the erosion of scarlet pigment. However, since he is ultimately human, scarlet pigment will still gradually erode his body...

Chapter 1234 The Arrival of the "Lord of Light and Shadow" (Part 2)

So, ASH, or perhaps one of the purposes of that will, was to get Charles into the Abyss?

Lu Jin's mind was a little stuck for a moment.

Going through so much effort—

Just for this?

[Very likely!]

But for me, it was also a pleasant surprise!

Charles was modified from childhood, making him no less than Mark, an eco-chimera. Once he fully integrates with the product of the ecosystem, namely the Abyss, he will have the same body as Mark.

Others who use the Abyss Walker, including Bai Yuekui, essentially need to envelop themselves in the pure soil within the Abyss Walker's armor, thus becoming the energy and consciousness that drives the Abyss Walker's actions.

In short, it was "getting on the list".

The Abyss Walker = Game Character

Driving = Gamer

But getting "on the account" is not easy. Energy consumption is one thing, but the key is to make human consciousness 100% take control of the Abyss.

The key to completing the "game account login" in real three-dimensional space lies in "Xirang".

This substance is normally in a solid state, but it is activated by hemoglobin and launches an indiscriminate attack on any prey containing life-generating substances. Only high temperatures can temporarily suppress it.

At the same time, the soil is also the root of the Mana flower, which can continuously extend and expand the biomagnetic field of the Mana flower, with a range of up to tens of kilometers.

It is precisely because the impurities-free Breath Soil is used as the key to connect the driver and the Abyss Walker that the Abyss Walker can truly become a "game character" walking in real space.

And the abilities of those who stand at the edge of the abyss...

Besides basic flight and enhancing physical capabilities, it also amplifies the potential inherent in the pilot.

In other words, the types and magnitude of abilities that each person can unleash after wearing it are different.

at the moment.

Unlike other pilots, Charles himself had been modified by the "Lord of Light and Shadow," and he and the Abyss Walker, which was made primarily from the nose of the Mana Primordial, were like the positive and negative poles of a magnet, naturally attracting each other.

in short.

At this moment, the magnetic field of the Abyss-Bearer and the magnetic field of Charles's body spontaneously linked, no longer needing the pure Breath Soil as a medium.

The flames that emerged were essentially the remnants of pure soil ignited by the excessive energy density after the magnetic fields of both parties linked.

As one of God's chosen ones, once Charles dons the Abyss Walker, it's as if he has completely merged himself into the Abyss Walker—

Players are game characters!

Simultaneously.

Charles will also become the "embodiment" of Mana's will, or rather, one of the game characters that Mana's will can "acquire".

So, what was the unexpected surprise?

Lu Jin was puzzled.

[If Charles and the Abyss One complete their fusion, my primordial spirit can directly travel to the ecological plane using his body, without having to wait for the vortex to open!]

Once Charles becomes a self-aware "game character," not only will the will of the Mana ecosystem be able to possess him, but Jiang Liu will also be able to use this "game character" to invade the Mana ecosystem's dimensional space.

That is, to go through the internet to bring "Zhen Yuanzi" back, and to give the will behind Mana Ecology a good beating.

He might not be able to do it with just one primordial spirit, but if you add the remaining 1,748 primordial spirits, the situation might change.

【Understood.】

After ending the communication, Lu Jin looked at Charles, who was walking step by step toward the Abyss, and thought to himself: Not only must Charles be allowed to enter the Abyss, but the will behind Mana Ecology must also be allowed to possess Charles!

"Change is painful, my child, you must hang in there."

Just then, Morgan suddenly spoke, his tone devoid of the childlike exuberance he had shown when speaking to Jingnan; instead, it was deep and somber.

"Only by having two legs can you survive on land."

Charles glanced back at his father, then resolutely walked towards the Abyss, for he was reminded of the past—

The night before the three laws were announced, his father told him a story called "The Little Mermaid," which he took as just a bedtime story.

At that time, he was unaware of the immense sacrifices that came with the promulgation of the Three Laws...

but now!

He learned the truth!

To get what you want, you have to pay a price!

The fish tail symbolizes the instinct for life and the connection with emotions, and the moment the mermaid stabs off the fish tail with a dagger is the triumph of reason over instinct!

Morgan continued, "The Little Mermaid picked up a dagger and stabbed herself in the tail. With the sound of the blade cutting through bone and muscle, the intense pain caused her to lose consciousness..."

She woke up on the beach and struggled to her feet...

His underwater companions shouted:

Come on!

Take a step forward!

Take one more step!

Seeing Charles's resolute gaze, some members of the Light and Shadow Society couldn't help but rush forward and shout, "Lord City Lord! Don't listen to these beasts!"

boom!

The city garrison opened fire, killing the man who charged forward.

"The intense pain nearly made the Little Mermaid faint, but she knew that only by enduring the pain could she undergo a transformation!"

Morgan continued telling the story of "The Little Mermaid," "In the sunset, she walked towards the castle, towards her beloved..."

Without realizing it, her cut legs transformed into beautiful legs...

Her friends' voices echoed in her ears...

"Lord City Lord!"

"do not go!"

"Don't go any further!"

Even though the members of the Lighthouse Society and the law firm knew that Charles had secretly left Morgan on the lighthouse, they had long been influenced by the Lighthouse Society's ideology and had developed a genuine faith in Charles. They kept running forward, trying to stop Charles and call out to him.

This scene—

This story complements Morgan's description of "The Little Mermaid" perfectly, but unlike Morgan's, the Little Mermaid receives encouragement from her companions:

"Take one more step forward!"

"Take one more step!"

Charles, however, received dissuasion from his followers.

All the believers who rushed forward were shot dead by the enraged Orland and other heavily armed city guards.

Charles —

He didn't even glance at the believers who had sacrificed themselves for him.

Lu Jin, among the members of the Light and Shadow Society who dared not run out and were trembling all over, also felt a chill in her heart. This was because of Charles's indifference to the deaths of his loyal followers, the fury of Orlando that crossed the line after his love turned to hatred, and the madness of these people who had been brainwashed by Charles's ideas, lost their sense of self and judgment, and disregarded their own lives.

No wonder Brother Jiang dislikes religious sects; whether it's Taoism, Buddhism, or Confucianism, he only takes their ideas, not their doctrines!

Light and Shadow Festival...

It is no different from those evil cults!

All of these are dregs that cause people to lose their independent judgment!

Lu Jin felt no respect whatsoever for these people who dared to face death, and didn't even have the thought of helping them.

This is solely because of people who have been completely brainwashed—

There's no cure!

Charles had already stepped into the Abyss, and the opened shell slowly closed, leaving not a single gap remaining...
