Chapter 311: Forbidden Canon

The world is like an egg. The outer shell is the toughest, but compared to the essence inside, the outer shell is the most barren, just a monotonous black or gray, or colorless.

But inside the world, there are many colors, and their colors are constantly changing.

Seeing this color, Wu Pifu immediately knew what it was instinctively. But it was very complicated, and he couldn't describe it perfectly with language. If he had to describe it, he could only describe it as "evolution"—the evolutionary process of a world from nothing to something, from simple to complex.

But with the "passing by" of the indescribably massive giant object, it destroyed the outer shell of this world and simultaneously endowed this world with a special color, a color called Ring.

Ring is a symbol, or a concept, an authority, a source, meaning circulation, circling, repeating endlessly, and also meaning immortality and self-satisfaction. These are all positive aspects, but this Ring is a source-level pollution spread, so in addition to its superficial positive effects, more of it is its terrifying pollution and distortion effects.

This Ring first changed the life cycle of this world. After all the lives in this world died, they did not perish physically as usual, with their spirits merging into the world and their souls falling into the death world, but were changed by this Ring into information and numbers that circulated endlessly in this world. At the same time, the changes in the entire world became more intense. At first, the time of the entire world became a Ring.

From the initial Divine Era to the final Dharma-Ending Era, time circulated from beginning to end. From the hollow point of this Ring, one could go to any era, and from any era, one could go to the hollow point. Karma was distorted, eras were confused, and the entire structure of the world underwent earth-shaking changes from the bottom up.

Because of the too drastic changes, the first era was ended. If it were another world, it might have been annihilated and disappeared because of this, but under the action of the Ring, this world was reborn into the next era. However, this Ring was after all a huge distortion. This kind of circulation would not last long. Soon, the entire world would be rendered as the Ring itself, existing as a secondary body of that source-level pollution, and then began to fall along the path of the source pollution. By then, this world was actually equivalent to being absorbed and changed by the Ring, and the world essence was also completely extinguished.

But at this time, there was a new accident: the Demon came.

Unlike the massive object full of mosaics, Wu Pifu didn't see any traces of the demon clan in this picture, but the color representing the Ring changed. That color was called "Demon." The demon clan arrived in this world.

Perhaps it was just a transit station for the demon clan, or some temporary territory, or something else. In short, the demon clan transformed the world that had been eroded by the Ring for the most part. Five similar yet different colors eroded the color of the Ring, adding this five-colored color to it. That was the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The appearance of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth changed the Ring and also changed this world that was on the verge of shattering.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth made the world have life. This was not an adjective, but a realistic description. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth made this world really have the initial hazy life. As long as there was continuous injection of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the entire world would turn into a peculiar, massive, powerful life form after a long time, or in other words, a World Demon.

But because of some reason Wu Pifu didn't know, the demon clan withdrew in a large scale, and the injection of spiritual energy of heaven and earth stopped there. Afterward, the external power of alchemy also came to this world, and then the power of darkness, the power of death, the power of holy light. Among them, the power of holy light was the strongest, bringing holy names, including the Seven Deadly Sins and the Eight Virtues. Vaguely, fifteen existences close to the source cast their gaze over, but they withdrew their gaze because of some reasons...

Because it lost its outer shell, this world was particularly easy to enter and leave. A large amount of external power, carrying other source information, fell into this world, which both increased the complexity of the world and diluted the proportion of the Ring in this world.

If it continued at this rate, the entire world would likely turn into a ten-thousand-world transit station that gathered many worlds, especially the distortion of time, space, and life by the Ring, which would make this world extremely special and brilliant.

But...

The vision before Wu Pifu's eyes changed. He was no longer watching the changes of the entire world from a macro perspective, but went deep into this world. Sunrises and sunsets, vicissitudes of life, countless times passed. Gradually, the entire world had gradually stabilized. The power of the Ring still occupied a large share of the bottom structure of this world. Its manifestation was that the time of this world could be manifested, and eras could penetrate each other. At the same time, the main body of the Ring, or the largest part of the Ring, turned into a pan-consciousness shared by life and extraordinary...

Sea of Spirituality.

It was also the extraordinary source of this world.

It endowed the lives of this world with the possibility of obtaining various extraordinary powers, until... the appearance of that man. In that era, the son of a tyrant of a small country killed his father and ascended the throne as king.

This small country was one of many countries on the fertile land of this alluvial plain. Rather than a country, it was better to call it a city-state. Dozens or hundreds of similar city-states were killing and attacking each other here.

The new tyrant ascended the throne. He had ambition beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and the first step of his ambition was to unify this alluvial plain. So he learned the strongest extraordinary power he could find, the extraordinary system of the necromancer. And as the most brilliant hero of this era, he made huge changes to the necromancy, changing it from simple life itself to power aimed at the entire world.

Through the changed magic, he extracted the great power of the natural world, thereby obtaining terrifying power that surpassed almost all extraordinary beings, and even surpassed the few gods that still remained.

He unified all the city-states in this area. Those who did not submit were all killed, and most of the remaining people were reduced to slaves. And his authority reached its peak in this area, at the cost of this fertile alluvial plain turning into a desert.

Short-term success did not extinguish the fire of his ambition. The tyrant concentrated the manpower and material resources of all the desert city-states and attacked the southeast, northwest, and center of the entire world. He was the strongest extraordinary being of this era, with strength surpassing the gods. He was the most formidable politician of this era, knowing how to make distant friends and attack near neighbors, and how to unite and join forces. He was the most terrifying military strategist of this era, with hundreds of thousands of troops under his command like precise machines. He was the greatest scientist of this era, manufacturing advanced farming tools, improving waterwheels, improving farmland, and changing the diet of everyone...

When he was seventy years old and extremely old, half of the world was ruled by him, and the other half had heard of his prestige, either submitting or paying tribute. He was the King of Kings, the only monarch assisted by the remaining gods. He was the strongest extraordinary being in the world, the eternal emperor, and the monarch of all life. However...

He was still going to die, because of the changes in the era, this era could no longer become a god. At the same time, because of the limitations of the Sea of Spirituality, every era and every race had its limited lifespan. The great King of Kings was actually defeated by lifespan and died at the age of seventy-five, the limit of his lifespan.

He was unwilling, he roared, he was angry, but it was of no avail...

The ambition of the schemer did not stop because he had almost conquered the world. He originally intended to command his invincible army to continue to conquer other eras, but now what he had to do was to increase his lifespan and surpass the limitations of the Sea of Spirituality.

!

So, he summoned almost all the scholars and extraordinary beings in the world and concentrated them in his capital, studying the rules of this world, extraordinary power, and the Sea of Spirituality day and night. And even without talking about the art of ruling, he was the most brilliant and powerful one among the extraordinary beings. In terms of knowledge, ability, and research, he was also unmatched.

A year passed, the second year passed, the third year passed...

In the last year before the tyrant's life ended, an unprecedented ritual spell was researched. Then the tyrant sacrificed eight million slave lives, turned two forests into barren land, and then, with the joint assistance of hundreds of thousands of extraordinary beings, finally used this ritual spell.

An unprecedentedly powerful spell presented everything from the beginning of this world to the present before the tyrant. It could be an extremely long video, or information revealed only in the mind, or an abstract picture, a secret text recording riddles, or a book that anyone could see and read, recorded in common text.

At that time, the tyrant knew the origin of all this and also found a way to achieve his immortality, and even more and greater ambitions.

This ritual spell was called...

Forbidden Canon.
