The Otherworld War Madman Projection of Ten Thousand Worlds

So he planned to withdraw after the matters between Kizaru and Marshal Sengoku were almost settled.

As for Kizaru, it's easier to say. As for the development of fruit abilities, as mentioned before, the more scientific it is, the more difficult it is to unleash the true potential of the fruit. If one only vaguely understands it, the technological black box inside the fruit can be unleashed.

All I have to do is give him a general direction, let him explore it slowly on his own, and reap a wave of technological achievements regularly.

It’s the Warring States Marshal’s side.

This made Li Zhong a little confused.

The Animal-type Devil Fruit has always been known as the weakest Devil Fruit.

Although it is not too bad in a sense, after all, before the fruit ability awakens and the domineering system is practiced, the expressiveness of the animal-type devil fruit is far too different from that of other devil fruits, the magical superhuman abilities, and the nearly invincible natural abilities.

But the problem is that the animal system is not just ordinary animals.

It also has two branches: 'ancient species' and 'mythical beast species'!

As the name suggests, ancient species are giant and ferocious ancient creatures represented by various dinosaurs.

Well, it's only in ancient times, they haven't become extinct. It seems that in some areas of this world, creatures like dinosaurs and mammoths still exist.

The mythical beasts are various fantasy creatures.

Similar to Kaido's dragon, the nine-tailed fox, the phoenix of Marco, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' first squadron, the gyu-ki of the Five Elder Stars Satan, and the great Buddha of Marshal Sengoku.

When Li Zhong first learned about the Mythical Beast Devil Fruit, he was actually slightly stunned.

Because of the existence of this devil fruit, some of his speculations about the nature of devil fruits were broken.

In his opinion, fruits like the zipper fruit and other fruits that are full of artificial traces prove that this thing is most likely man-made.

The mythical beast-type devil fruit gave him another angle to speculate on the nature of the devil fruit.

After actually studying the blood factors of the Warring States Marshal, his speculation was further strengthened.

That is, could it be that the Devil Fruit is created by a non-precision process, but in a somewhat random way...

This may be a bit confusing.

Let’s put it in a way that is easier to understand.

In the eyes of most people in this world, Devil Fruits are most likely a kind of secret treasure created naturally by heaven and earth. People discovered this secret treasure and then named it according to their lifelike nature.

It's like the various wonders of nature's uncanny workmanship.

"Look at that cloud, does it look like a kitten... No, I think it looks like a JK girl."

Li Zhong's initial understanding was that the Devil Fruit was an artificial creation of a powerful civilization and the crystallization of various cutting-edge technologies. The powerful civilization edited a large amount of cutting-edge technology into the blood factor of the Devil Fruit.

Taking painting as an example, it is like a world-class master’s painstaking creation.

The existence and research of the mythical beast-type devil fruits revealed another possibility to Li Zhong.

Will the truth about devil fruits be like AI paintings?

The creators of the devil fruit don’t know the underlying principles of the devil fruit. They just discovered a special world mechanism and then turned on this mechanism. As for the rest, they just let the universe take care of it?

They just input some conditions, and then the devil fruit system started to work naturally!

The reason why Li Zhong had such an idea was that when Li Zhong was conducting blood factor-level research on Marshal Warring States' ability of 'Animal System·Mythical Beast·Human-Human Fruit·Great Buddha Form', he discovered a very strange phenomenon.

That is, his bloodline factors will undergo drastic changes after birth!

Chapter 360: The research on the mythical beast species was urgently stopped!

Buddha is a very special thing.

No, to be precise, Buddhism, Taoism, and the Christian system are all very peculiar things.

Li Zhong has seen many of these beings during his travels through the worlds.

It is foreseeable that in all the worlds, there must be some ultimate bosses like these!

Level three, or even the highest level four that is currently unobservable to him is possible!

Li Zhong was naturally a little curious about this mysterious existence, and he had once followed the traces of these existences to a limited extent.

Of course, judging from his current development situation, he has not gained much substantial results.

He did obtain some useful things, but those things were a bit too useless for a supreme god of a secondary world who was powerful enough to influence the existence of multiple parallel universes.

In fact, Li Zhong could have continued to study it in depth, but he gave up.

Because he sensed danger.

It was fine to study some superficial things, but once he started studying the Buddhist, Taoist and Christian forces that involved the super-metaverse level, Li Zhong always felt that it might lead to some not-so-good consequences.

The founder of an extraordinary system always likes to bury all kinds of traps in his system that others can't expect.

Li Zhong thought of himself as a child who was less than a thousand years old, a newbie on the path of cultivation. He did not dare to mess with those top bosses who had been in existence for who knows how long.

He didn't want to wake up one day and find himself becoming some Taoist guardian deity, or a certain Bodhisattva, or a certain angel, being confined by the entire system and becoming a plaything of a higher-level being.

Returning to the topic, when Li Zhong was studying the Big Buddha Fruit of Marshal Warring States, he first conducted research from the blood factor level.

Li Zhong gained a lot in this regard. The progress of the animal-type demon colonization superhumanization and fantasy beast story, which had been stuck in a bottleneck for a long time, has advanced a lot.

It is estimated that in about half a year, his second-generation colonial suit can be updated to a third-generation colonial suit with a certain degree of super powers.

But after finally obtaining such a precious experimental subject, how could Li Zhong be satisfied with just this!

In order to explore more possibilities of himself, Li Zhong's original body blocked the extraordinary knowledge of these projections, wanting them to try a new path that he had never walked before.

But Li Zhongke remembered clearly those that did not involve the extraordinary.

This naturally includes various classics of Buddhism and Taoism.

The classics here do not refer to specific methods of practice.

Instead, they are pure wisdom scriptures like the Diamond Sutra, the Heart Sutra, the Tao Te Ching, and the Nanhua Sutra, and do not involve the practice of extraordinary powers.

Remember what I said before, Kaku, a CP9 employee who had never seen a giraffe, did not turn into a real giraffe after eating the giraffe fruit, but into the appearance of "the giraffe he thought it was".

For the mythical beast species, the situation is even more serious.

No one has ever seen what the phoenix, the nine-tailed fox, or the Buddha looks like.

So strictly speaking, the 'mythical beasts' they transformed into were only what 'they thought' they looked like.

Not what this species really looks like!

This is the only way to explain it. When Li Zhong traveled through the worlds, he had seen some "Buddhas".

Those Buddhas in the second-level world are often ridiculously strong! From the beginning, they will create a Buddha kingdom in the palm of your hand and a small world!

It's not even on the same level as the 'Big Buddha' like the Warring States who uses shock waves to fight the enemy!

So...if the 'real' Buddha's posture, mixed with Buddhist wisdom scriptures, were instilled into the Warring States Marshal, what kind of changes would occur?

Driven by curiosity, Li Zhong began the experiment.

Then he bore witness.

The blood factor in Marshal Warring States' body has initiated earth-shaking changes!

As Marshal Zhan Guo's perception of Buddha changed, the nature of his power began to transform in the direction guided by Li Zhong.

The bloodline factors are constantly breaking down and reorganizing!

This phenomenon indirectly proves one thing.

On the surface, the blood factor is the source of the power of the devil fruit.

But in fact, the source of the power of the devil fruit may not be the blood factor, but something deeper!

Just like gunpowder explodes, on the surface it is the potassium nitrate, sulfur and charcoal contained in the gunpowder that react. But at a more fundamental level, it is the changes in atomic molecules that provide the energy!

Otherwise, the moment the bloodline factor is broken, Zhan Guo will no longer be a person with special abilities, and there will be no subsequent reorganization!

The experiment had reached this point and should have been further explored.

But Li Zhong urgently stopped all related research.

Because he sensed danger!

This danger does not come from the devil fruit.

But it comes from...Buddha!

Fantasy beasts are fantastical species that no one has ever seen in this world, but Li Zhong can use his rich knowledge of the world to fool the people of this world... After all, he has really seen a golden-haired, jade-faced nine-tailed fox, and he has also really seen immortal birds such as the phoenix and the vermilion bird.

The extremely detailed relevant information was absolutely true. The people in this world could not find a way to refute it. They could only follow Li Zhong's guidance and let their fantasy beast fruit develop in the direction he wanted.

But Li Zhong suddenly realized a problem.

That is, his goal is to become a god. After becoming a god, he will bring this world to the Pure Land of Bliss, make it a part of the Pure Land of Bliss's super-meta-world group, and help him reach the third level.

The power of the mythical beast devil fruit can really simulate the mythical species in the world.

If I use the power of the Fantasy Species in this world, wouldn't that be digging a hole for my original body? !

God knows, after the worlds merge, will there be some powerful being that can use this increasingly deep connection as a springboard to directly attack one's own original body?

So forget it.

Li Zhong, whose extraordinary knowledge has not yet reached that level, cannot judge whether his worries are unfounded, but to be on the safe side, he chose a more conservative action.

Li Zhong stopped his further research on the mythical beast-type devil fruit and explored the essence of the devil fruit. He thought that other devil fruits could be used as substitutes.

Although it would be more difficult to conduct such research on other fruits, he could still distinguish what was light and what was heavy.

But just because he wants to stop doesn't mean others want to stop too.

As a test subject, Marshal Warring States felt his own strength surge and thought he was about to soar to the sky.

But unexpectedly, Li Zhong stopped the experiment with just one sentence.

"Don't stop!" Marshal Zhan Guo wanted to continue the experiment!

Chapter 361 Leaving the Navy Headquarters

This is the price Li Zhong paid for teaching the navy the three mysteries of dominance.

Marshal Zhan Guo agreed to Li Zhong's condition of becoming his experimental subject.

The fact that Li Zhong wanted to become a scientist had already been mentioned in the intelligence about him.

Li Zhong also said that he had reached an agreement with the Five Elder Stars on some scientific and technological research.

Therefore, Zhan Guo knew that Li Zhong not only had a formidable talent in combat, but also had outstanding scientific research talent.

But Zhan Guo did not think that Li Zhong's research on him would have any impact on him other than wasting his time and requiring him to stay up late and work overtime to handle the paperwork that he could have handled in his normal work.

After all, Vegapunk was also very curious about Kizaru's abilities. He once asked Kizaru to cooperate with him in some experiments, but he didn't see any other changes in Kizaru.

With the lessons learned from the past, although Zhan Guo fully cooperated with Li Zhong's experiment, he did not actually regard Li Zhong's experiment as a very important matter.

Instead, as most people in the conference room thought before, they thought that Li Zhong asked Zhan Guo to cooperate with him in researching the mythical beast devil fruit just to "buy a villa for one Bailey" and it was just a symbolic fee to make the navy look better.

But when the experiment crossed the blood factor and entered the second stage, he found that things were not at all what he had imagined.

The knowledge about Buddha that Li Zhong expounded in the second phase of his research was something he had never heard of before.

Li Weizhong's description of the Buddha was just like the true Buddha he had seen with his own eyes, who was in the other side, with infinite greatness and infinite wisdom.

This completely shattered his previous understanding of Buddha.

The Diamond Sutra, the Lotus Sutra, the Heart Sutra, the Shurangama Sutra, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra... the profound scriptures, coupled with Li Zhong's explanation from the shallow to the deep, his Great Buddha Fruit gradually changed from the original body of strength that only increased the physical body to something that could not be explained.

Li Zhong said that the name of that thing is "Buddha nature".

Then he immediately terminated the second phase of the experiment!

After only a few days of brief lectures, Marshal Zhan Guo felt that his strength had increased by at least 50%! This was just an appearance. Zhan Guo could feel that something in his essential nature had undergone a transformation.

My own potential has become even greater, and as long as I continue to practice, I can become stronger quickly!

You know, the Warring States were not some unknown people on the sea.

His power has almost reached the upper limit of this world!

On the basis of this level of strength, with another 50% increase... Zhan Guo feels that even if two sea emperors stand in front of him now, he can beat them up!

If Li Zhong said more, then...

At that moment, Zhan Guo thought of many things.

But no matter how he negotiated with Li Zhong, Li Zhong did not agree to continue preaching to him.
