Chapter 411
"How about you try giving birth to yourself again?"
"Nurturing the third Divine Embryo, huh?" Sheng Nai scowled: "I must say, Life Bearer's body is indeed the most suitable environment for nurturing, but firstly, it won't help us break through our current predicament. Secondly, this place is completely under Mequik's control, I can't absorb any useful resources from it, so how can I succeed?"
After all, to reach the Path realm, one had to fully implement their Path into their entire existence, so the seven Gods had far greater control over their own existence than normal living beings. Although Sheng Nai had Killer J's assistance, there was still quite a bit of a gap between them.
This was completely an away battle, so everything around them was under Mequik's control. Everything carried her mark, so they had to constantly be careful of their own willpower and not become obsessed with her Path and Principles.
"Seems like you really haven't woken up yet. Boss has never doubted whether we can succeed or not!" Killer J opened his eyes wide and once again cut through a part of Sheng Nai's infected soul.
"Seems like I've really been infected by Mequik's path too much …" Sheng Nai sighed after contemplating for a while. Mana surged into his hands and manifested into a pair of swords, which he used to face the incoming lifeforms and engage them in combat.
The essence of life was to plunder, and there were so many prey in this place. The other party had the best environment, while he was currently in the worst.
Sheng Nai's blades mercilessly sliced through the living beings, using his understanding of life to kill them and plunder their lives in order to obtain the resources needed to nurture the third Divine Embryo.
More and more vitality mana was being harvested by Sheng Nai to nurture his new body, but more and more living beings were being taken over as well. Each of these living beings was equivalent to three stages of release, although none of them had obtained a Seed of Truth, there were simply too many of them, and Sheng Nai's current state was extremely poor.
Instead, Sheng Nai's life force was being plundered, causing him to grow weaker and weaker, the flame of his life about to be extinguished.
At this point in the outside world, the various schemes had also reached a critical juncture, so most of Mequik's attention had to be focused on dealing with the other seven Gods. Even so, suppressing the living beings within her body wasn't too difficult for her.
If Mequik had more energy to adjust the pathways within her body, it would be much easier for her to kill Shengnai, but she no longer had the energy to do so. This wasn't something to be happy about, as it meant that their scheme had reached its most crucial point.
While Barren Shadow was controlling most of the targets, he was also being controlled by the people he controlled. While The Unreachable Gate was controlling others, his attention was also focused on himself. All of the targets were currently controlling each other, and if they succeeded, they would be able to harvest everything from everyone else. Everything would belong to him.
"What is the connection between life and the soul? Why do souls exist? Why do we have life?" Sheng Nai's body was wrapped in a thick layer of cocoon. The birth of a Divine Fetus was merely based on the environment and previous life forms to nurture a more perfect form. Under such circumstances, nothing was possible.
"Looks like I won't be able to complete the third God Fetus. I won't have a chance to complete the Tree of Life design that I've constructed myself." Sheng Nai could clearly feel every strand of his life slipping away. He had experienced this feeling before. "How annoying."
"I can't believe I flipped over" Killer J sat paralyzed on one side, waiting for his death. Everything seemed to be hopeless.
"If I knew this would happen, I would've used my cross-dressing photo to bribe the author, perhaps I would've become even stronger after seeing that?" Killer J hugged Tuan Zi and silently sighed, then abruptly looked to the side: "Ah, ah? Ah! "
Eternal Heat was currently gathering his power for the final attack. Mequik had spread all of her tentacles to block in front of Eternal Heat, the grey tentacles reaching into every angle and completely enveloping him.
The tentacles spread out like veins, the suction cups on top of them slightly unfolded. Mequik spread her arms upwards, forming a single entity with the tentacles below her, almost like an upside-down tree.
This was Mequik's pathway — — - the Tree of Life design that included all life forms of this world, including everything.
Seeing this, Negri suddenly felt like this wasn't a defense against Eternal Heat's attack, but rather some sort of unique ritual.
As this sensation grew clearer and clearer, a large amount of information flowed into Negri's mind, the most important of which was — — Life Bearer and Eternal Heat were one and the same.
This thought came out of nowhere, but Negri understood very well that his thoughts would never come out of nowhere. Even if they did, they would have come from either Killer J or Lanshan, but since he had sent Lanshan elsewhere, it could only be Killer J.
Towards this Killer J who represented his own Chaos faction, Negri had never tried to restrict his actions or thoughts, because that was the only way he could maximize his usefulness. Because of that, when he was about to enter Sheng Nai's soul, not only did Negri not stop him, he even helped him conceal it. So, this information was actually transmitted by him?
Understanding this, Negri first eliminated the unreasonable aspects of this, then calculated how believable this information would be if it was true.
From what I've seen so far, even though it wasn't said that a single living being could only bear a single pathway, it must have a primary pathway. This was the case for Negri himself. He had researched many pathways, but all of them required his primary pathway to be the primary pathway, which was very easy to see.
It was for this reason that no one had ever suspected that the two Righteous Gods were one and the same. After all, both Righteous Gods had displayed their own pathways, which didn't contain too many other Daos or Principles.
But if they were truly one and the same, then a few things could be easily explained.
Why Great Magus Stim was so easily controlled by Mequik, why Mequik had a weakness in the soul, why Eternal Heat had to guard against Red Tears' attack to prevent his own information from leaking, as well as various other strange behaviors of the two entities, all of these things could be easily explained.
Eternal Heat's goal wasn't just the Unreachable Gate and this Moon Tree world, he wanted to use this opportunity to devour all the Righteous Gods. The Tree of Life blueprint that Mequik displayed was Eternal Heat's evolutionary ritual.
All pathways would be absorbed by him, allowing him to successfully advance to the next stage of his evolution.
[Sun, Life, Death (Dark Death), Ocean, Soul (Red Tears), Shadow (Barren Shadow), Unknown (The Unreachable Gate), [Domination], [Mana] (Great Magus)] Negri slowly recited the pathways represented by the Righteous Gods. Although the Great Magus' path of mana wasn't complete yet, it was already very close: [Of course, there's also the final one — — World]
[As expected, the Moon Tree world is also one of the offerings. These are the ten Origin Substances of the Inverted Tree that represented Eternal Heat's ascension]
