Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Unfortunately, even the most perfect path has a few flaws that prevent it from being truly perfect.

First, loss of control can only be prevented, not eliminated.

The principle behind the ability of the Dao Path to reduce the rate of loss of control is to integrate the power system, consolidating the player's originally chaotic and disordered personal abilities into fixed modules, thereby reducing the pressure on the player's aptitude when becoming stronger.

However, the root cause of the loss of control has never been resolved.

Therefore, not only players can lose control, but non-players who embark on the path can also lose control. Moreover, the rate of non-players losing control without the protection of the amusement park is far higher than that of players. In Nan Lixiang's words, the best-selling accident insurance in the night is the one that claims you will die from a loss of control incident while walking on the street, which is a kind of cyber mental illness.

Secondly, the overly inclusive and top-tier Daoist path spread through the hands of players.

Here's a simple example:

I am Feng Qingyang.

A master of the Huashan School, his swordsmanship is divine.

This year I am already advanced in years, and my cultivation has reached its limit.

He wished to follow the martial arts masters to break through the void and travel to a wider world, but he could never grasp the essentials.

Heaven won't send immortals, and earth won't let humans go.

So be it, what does it matter if I turn into a handful of dust?

But then, at the Cliff of Contemplation, the Huashan Sect's eldest disciple, whom I had been so proud of, suddenly brewed wine to say goodbye. Before leaving, he unleashed his magnificent martial arts essence, and I was astonished to find that my supposedly perfect internal energy was as insignificant as an ant. The essence of his transcendence left me mesmerized.

I opened my heart's eye in a moment of sudden enlightenment.

Internal energy cultivation can be fully converted, and a wider world is right in front of you. The pinnacle of the martial arts world, which is bound by heaven and earth, is nothing more than a thin piece of paper that can be easily punctured.

The price, however, is only the possibility of moral decay.

Ten years later,

There is no longer any Feng Qingyang at the Cliff of Repentance; instead, countless Feng Qingyangs have appeared there.

……

The higher the level of the world, the easier it is to apply the Daoist teachings. Or perhaps the perfection of the Daoist teachings is largely due to those worlds with tens of thousands of years of accumulation, while players only have a history of over seven hundred years.

Players initially didn't mind spreading the light of their path to the infinite starry sky of the paradise, just like the United States promoted the global use of the US dollar. However, the problem was that the light of their path also shone on the rebels in the blessed land, and even the Nine-Life Abyss Dragon showed interest.

That's a bit Muggle-ish.

Overall, however, the advantages that the path gives to players far outweigh the disadvantages, and it even gained the favor of the Paradise and became the Paradise's designated evolutionary route. Jolyne was no exception and decided to follow in the footsteps of her predecessors.

Although the five paths are completely different, they are all connected by the same concept, which is the realm that runs through the beginning and end of the cultivation of the path and the standard for dividing combat power.

Once you break through to the second realm, you must choose one of these five paths to take.

Jolyne came to ask Kanoko for advice, hoping she could provide some suggestions. Given Kanoko's strength, she must know the "insider information" of the five paths. Jolyne didn't want to fall into an unknown pitfall, such as being told that there was already a supreme being in the Martial Arts path after he had chosen it. That would be comparable to Klein choosing the Monster path after landing.

Of course, this is just an example, and Joren doesn't know if the Dao path has the concept of "[Supreme and Unique]".

After a while, a shiny light bulb appeared on Kanoko's head.

"Kanoko's suggestion is—"

Naoko, drawing out her words to pique Jolyne's curiosity, then stuffed a deer cracker into her mouth and mumbled, "Anything is fine."

Gaa~ Gaa~ Gaa~

Three crows flew in a line across the sky.

"Then why did we come to find you?"

The Jorogumo, disguised as a mouthpiece, says, "We've come to ask for your advice and opinions on the five paths! Which path harbors hidden dangers? Which path offers a faster and easier promotion route at Chiba Zoo? Which path is your antler radar more suitable for its master?"

The problem is that they all have drawbacks!

Kanoko counted on her fingers, "The most unsophisticated martial arts system relies heavily on talent. Those lacking in insight and resources can be stuck from the Hundred Herbs Garden to the Three Flavors Study. Every year, a large number of practitioners exclaim that learning martial arts cannot save the country."

The magic system is full of retired old men who love to show off and discriminate against others' intelligence. In reality, without the bloodline of immortal beings, these people will be in their coffins before they even break through. If a crude martial artist gets close to them, they can only wait to die.

The Soul System is even more of a deathly underworld, with eight out of ten having psychological problems. It ranks second in terms of the rate of loss of control among all the major paths, and is among the most disliked by both people and dogs due to the frequent occurrence of vicious incidents.

The prospects for mechanical engineering are not bad. Its previously mediocre performance has been improving year by year. However, this is the most monopolized path. Mechanical engineering students with connections have a smooth journey, while those without connections work for higher-level mechanics from birth to death. A little cutting-edge knowledge can block your progress.

The last one, the Mystic/Strange type, is even more extraordinary.

The list - Road Out of Control List is number one.

The list of heinous massacres in Fudi ranks first.

They created sects and worshipped evil gods.

Polluting civilians and distorting their minds.

They advocated nihilism and committed collective martyrdom.

Starting from the third realm, members of the Divine and Mysterious faction must register with the local official organization and the institution of survival. Any member of the Divine and Mysterious faction without official registration is treated as a criminal suspect or a potential mentally ill person and dealt with with caution. If your neighbor is a member of the Divine and Mysterious faction, even an insurance salesperson will not ring your doorbell. If you join the Divine and Mysterious faction, Bai Yujing will thoughtfully provide you with free psychological counseling once a month.

Hey, there's some delicious deer crackers!

"Isn't that too much of a stereotype?"

Jolyne couldn't help but complain.

In Kanoko's words, none of the Five Paths are normal people, especially the supernatural ones she talks about, which are comparable to armed black people who illegally immigrate to the United States. It sounds like they're always planning terrorist attacks.

Chapter 500 Joren's Path

"The emergence of stereotypes is simply because too many similar things have happened in reality."

Kanoko said frankly, "Each of the five major paths has its own flaws, but none of these flaws are to the extent that you must avoid them. If you have to eliminate some of the five options, I suggest you do not choose the magic system or the soul system."

Jolyne expressed her doubts: "Why magic and soul magic, and not mechanical magic? Isn't mechanical magic the least suitable path for me?"

Under the protection of the workshop, the Soul and Mystic systems, which are prone to evolutionary chaos and mental distortion, are the threats that Jolyne is least worried about. The time-consuming and laborious Magic system can also quickly achieve mastery of all methods through the workshop. The Martial Arts system is not lacking in talent and resources. If there is no hidden pitfall, then the Mechanical system, which is monopolized by high realms, is the only path that is not suitable for Jolyne, since he really doesn't have many Mechanical system experts around him.

But judging from what Kanoko said, he shouldn't have any major problems pursuing mechanical engineering.

"You can go to Hengyu Workshop!"

Kanoko said, "The mentor whose player nickname you stole is one of the strongest mechanics among the players today. I think he wouldn't mind teaching you the path of mechanics, after all, you are Darwin who inherited his name."

Xu Lun was stunned. He never expected his boss to come up with such a bizarre idea. Even if the person's title was mentor, how could he possibly give unsolicited and wholehearted guidance to an outsider?

"Is the prerequisite joining Hengyu Workshop?"

"Of course."

"Then let's forget about it," Jolyne said in a sarcastic tone. "Chiba Zoo has done me a favor, how can I, Jolyne, be a traitor!"

Jorogumo, pretending to narrate, says: "Kanoko's affection for her master increases by 1!"

Nonoko scratched her antlers, trying to say that she didn't care, and even wanted Jolyne to bring back some deer crackers, a specialty of the Federal Zoo. This didn't earn her any goodwill at all.

She continued:

"The reason I didn't choose the magic system is because the one in Baiyujing is the current supreme master of magic, the kind that no one dares to question or can question. If you choose the magic system and prepare to elevate magic to the top in the world, you will inevitably come into contact with Him one day."

After hearing this reason, Jolyne decisively ruled out the magic system, which he was not interested in to begin with.

The one in Baiyujing?

The title of "Supreme Master of Magic" alone is enough to explain the situation. The top player rules the most violent legal institution in Asia. Encountering Him is like a female boxer who accidentally enters a male-oriented novel and transmigrates into a Tang Dynasty princess, determined to go head-to-head with Li Shimin at Xuanwu Gate.

It's not that Jolyne was afraid.

However, anyone with a modicum of rationality would, unless absolutely necessary, insist on climbing the mountain to touch the tiger's backside when they already know there is a tiger in it.

Even Wu Song initially mistakenly thought the innkeeper was lying and tricking him into staying at the inn. When he arrived on the mountain and found that the government had posted a notice that there were tigers in the mountains, he regretted his decision but was afraid of being ridiculed if he went back. So he braced himself and headed towards Jingyang Ridge, where there were tigers.

He doesn't have any spell skills and has absolutely no interest in spellcasting. Did he choose a spellcasting skill just to go head-to-head with Bai Yujing?

That's just deliberately provoking honest people!

Jolyne pondered silently, then looked at Kanoko with a puzzled expression. Kanoko noticed a contradiction. "Didn't you say at the beginning that all five paths were fine? Now, according to you, just one magic system isn't a good choice, and that's why I came to ask you."

"nan?"

Kanoko fell into deep thought. Kanoko raised her head and began to recall. Kanoko immersed her consciousness in the sea of ​​her mind and turned over the pages of history. Kanoko finally remembered that she did not have a brain.

"Did I say that?"

Kanoko looked completely dumbfounded.

Jolyne: "..."

Jorogumo: "..."

Is your deer cracker from the Sanlu brand?

There's no hope. This child's dementia is so bad that we should just give Lu Naizi Brain Gold (a Chinese health supplement) for Chinese New Year.

"What's the deal with the Soul System?"

A good subordinate should automatically ignore their boss's lapses in judgment and pretend not to notice.

Jolyne continued to ask about the Soul type, but Kanoko turned her head to the side.

"I don't know. The fact that you're not suited for the Soul system is the result predicted by my Deer Antler Radar."

"Am I not suited for the soul-based system?"

Jolyne found it strange, but she didn't question Kanoko's overly hasty explanation. After all, the antler radar was already quite inexplicable. Who could explain why he encountered Kanoko so soon after becoming a player, with the scenario being something that would directly challenge a normal person's brain: "because the antlers were stuck on the power line and couldn't get down, so it needed human help."

Of course, the main reason was that he discovered that the two paths that Kanoko mentioned were ones that he never intended to take. Jolyne inexplicably wondered if Kanoko was really guiding him.

Since he had no evidence that Kanoko was just eating deer crackers and not working hard, he could only console himself that no matter what, Kanoko had at least helped him completely eliminate the options of magic and soul, so now there were only three options left!

These three choices really put Jolyne in a dilemma.

Martial Arts - The Path to Physical Immortality!

No further explanation is needed. The term "martial arts" can even be seen as a synonym for "protagonist." Just look at how many protagonists in action comics reach the pinnacle of martial arts and defeat all powerful enemies in the world through martial arts training. The fact that it's been labeled with a vulgar prefix is ​​simply because everyone is used to criticizing it, just like the regional discrimination against Guangzhou and Chengdu online.

The real martial arts system, if not invincible, at least has stats that are cool enough to impress most people. Can you imagine a martial arts powerhouse with the [Sacred Body Phenomenon] above his head driving the [Eight Gates Formation: King Kai Leo Flying Kick], charging towards you with youthful energy and passion?

Mechanical Engineering - The Path to Creation of the Universe!

Mechanical gods and the boundless starry sea undoubtedly possess a novel charm different from martial arts, but Jolyne's interest is actually not that great. However, the problem is that his largest external workshop can connect with the mechanical system!

The importance of the workshop to him goes without saying!

Choose the Mechanical Awakening to awaken Mechanical Power, advance all the way while gradually comprehending the Workshop, and finally, at the seventh or even eighth realm, raise the Workshop to ignite the Mechanical Divine Fire, and leap to the supreme position of the main world in the Mechanical Awakening!

Following this trajectory, the future of the Mechanical Engineering major far surpasses that of the Martial Arts major. In the face of reason, the path to sainthood through martial arts seems somewhat illusory. However, the Mechanical Engineering major also has significant problems. As Kanoko mentioned, the advancement of the Mechanical Engineering major is extremely dependent on higher levels of the same path. Without access to certain cutting-edge knowledge, it is easy to get stuck in a certain level. And his workshop just doesn't want to be exposed to certain people.

Chapter 501 Holding High Heaven and Looking Down on Earth

Mystic System - Upholding the Path to Heaven!

An existence with numerous flaws yet still able to stand firm on the Five Great Paths. Whether it's mental distortion or uncontrolled pollution, the workshop can easily solve these problems. Most importantly, Jolyne has already solved the only problem in breaking through to the high realm of the Divine and Mystic.

Believers worship, angels serve.

Hold fast to the source, and exalt the Kingdom of Heaven.

The fifth realm of the Divine Demon system unfolds angelic wings, the sixth realm of the Divine Demon system creates the prototype of a heavenly kingdom, and the seventh realm of the Divine Demon system raises the complete heavenly kingdom. Nearly 99% of the fifth realm of the Divine Demon system will get stuck at the step of creating the prototype of a heavenly kingdom, and Jolyne now has a literal prototype of a heavenly kingdom.

That is the kingdom of fairy tales.

Because of the special nature of the fairy tale world, his kingdom only needs to keep growing and eventually devour the existing divine kingdoms to directly transform into a divine kingdom. At that time, he, as the king, will also become the god-king of the newly promoted divine kingdom. After reaching the seventh realm of gods and monsters, he even has the opportunity to use his divine kingdom to devour all the land in the fairy tale world and create a divine kingdom above the boundless territory of a top-level world!

The path to the highest level of the divine and the mysterious has been paved; all that's needed is absolute strength to cross it!

Of course, it's no easy task to devour the numerous divine kingdoms of the fairy tale world with absolute power. However, none of the five paths are easy to climb, and even the slightest chance is already a heaven-defying opportunity.

If Yuan Tianlumo knew that Xu Lun had the extraordinary experience of directly ascending to the eighth realm of the Divine Demon system, she would probably be so jealous that she would feel physically uncomfortable and unable to eat for three consecutive days. If she also knew that Xu Lun had the possibility of reaching the Mechanical Supreme, the look she gave him would be enough to make one envious.

Unfortunately, people's circumstances are not the same.

Her unattainable heights left Jolyne torn between which opportunity to reach, for every path seemed all too tempting.

I want them all!

Jolyne sighed.
