Chapter 74: Outer Realm Demon? No, I'm Humanity's Final Trial!

What is the essence of Spirit Status? What is the essence of Merit? What is the essence of the Gift system in Little Garden?

The answer is lies, is falsehood, is cultivating truth by borrowing the false, is transforming the false into the real.

The influence between humans and the world is mutual; whether it be actions, words, or daily labor, none of these things fail to influence the world, producing a series of changes.

To humans, this change is their life, but to Little Garden, it is the generation and flow of Concepts, another kind of breathing that influences the "world's breathing."

And this vast and chaotic "flow of Concepts," this kind of breathing belonging to life, is called Merit in Little Garden.

Is this "flow of Concepts" real?

On the level of spirit and belief, this "flow of Concepts" is terrifyingly real, especially after forming a "Concept Torrent" on a scale based on countless multiverses.

This is the truth of how Human History was formed.

And what is Spirit Status?

Spirit Status is the sum of a life's Merit, the sum of a person's influence on the world.

And a Gift is the product of the sum of Merit formed by a certain Concept being transformed into reality.

The Gift and Spirit Status system of Little Garden is a system that takes "Merit," or rather "influence," as its root, collecting Concepts, weaving Gifts, and step-by-step sublimating them into Authorities, powers, and even new truths in the universe.

The only shortcoming of this system is that it is built upon the foundation of Merit (influence).

Just like Su Nian saving the Apocalypse World, did he really save the world?

Is simply handing over the Umbrella Corporation's data to Tianchao enough to be a Savior, enough to have saved the world?

The answer is both negative and affirmative.

Just like a general who commands a victory in a war; this was clearly everyone's effort, but why is the Merit attributed to one person?

Because everyone, and even history, recognizes this as that general's contribution, and without that general, victory might not have been certain.

But what if that general has only a hollow reputation, and even that war itself was a fiction?

But the influence is real; as long as enough influence is caused, this does not prevent that general from obtaining Merit, Gifts, and Spirit Status.

For example, like Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu in history and Three Kingdoms; the burning of Red Cliffs was Zhou Yu's Merit, but because the influence of Three Kingdoms was too great, this Merit was attributed to Zhuge Liang.

Spirit Status is the same; even if it is a false lie or a false Mythology, as long as the influence formed is great enough, it is not impossible to form a real Spirit Status.

And now, the Counter Force has provided him with a practically perfect excuse, an opportunity to reconstruct the Spirit Status of Humanity's Final Trial: Blacklight.

Outer Realm Demon? Why can't an Outer Realm Demon be a Humanity's Final Trial?

Of course, Su Nian doesn't expect the influence of this one world to have any impact on Blacklight's Spirit Status.

What he is plotting is for Blacklight to become a corner of 【Absolute Evil】, not for Blacklight to be a molecule of 【Absolute Evil】.

For example, if 【Absolute Evil】 were a company, then Azi Dahaka would be the chairman holding all the shares, while Blacklight would be a diligent employee who doesn't even get a salary.

And by becoming a corner of 【Absolute Evil】, one gains the qualification to partake in that portion of 【Absolute Evil】's Merit.

Then in Little Garden, who has the qualification to divide the shares of 【Absolute Evil】? The answer is the Mother of Evil Gods, Angra Mainyu.

Is the Mother of Evil Gods dead? As a Two-digit big shot, Su Nian believes that even if she is dead, there is still the possibility of her rising from the grave.

And Xiao An, who was forced to bear the name of Humanity's Evil, is the key to making the Mother of Evil Gods rise from the grave.

To be honest, this feeling of dancing on the grave of a big shot is still too stimulating.

Even Su Nian, who considers himself relatively daring, still feels this plan is too risky and suicidal.

What if the Mother of Evil Gods is completely dead?

Or what if she simply doesn't want to pay him any mind?

However, Su Nian can't think about that much; he has always been one to dare to court death.

Or rather, ever since he discovered he couldn't die, his courage grew, to the point where he even dared to court death directly.

"Isn't the Counter Force trying to deal with me, this Outer Realm Demon?"

"Then how about I conjure one up for them?"

"You think I'm an Outer Realm Demon? Actually, I am Humanity's Final Trial!"

Su Nian has already imagined the expressions of the two Counter Forces when facing a Humanity's Final Trial.

You think I'm here to destroy the world, and it turns out I really am here to destroy the world.

Su Nian wants to see exactly what kind of methods the Counter Force will bring out to deal with a Humanity's Final Trial.

And while he's at it, see if he can fish for some Merit?

Forget it, Merit is better left alone; let's just fish for a Spirit Status first.

After thinking about the monsters and demons of the Type-Moon World, Su Nian gave up on this tempting idea.

The Type-Moon World is truly not suitable for Little Garden's observation; it's suitable for fishing for Spirit Status and Gifts, but not for observation.

God knows how much influence it would have on the Gods and Buddhas in Little Garden after observing the Type-Moon World.

"Saber, come over here, I'm doing an experiment."

Su Nian called out; he prepared to use Artoria's contract with the Counter Force and her relationship with the Throne of Heroes to conduct an experiment.

To see if he could use his Displacement Magic to displace Artoria's true body located in the Throne of Heroes.

"Master, what experiment? Can I choose not to?"

Artoria said with some trembling; she had seen more than enough of Merlin's miserable state.

Although she also found it quite satisfying and enjoyable to watch.

But she really didn't want such a thing to befall herself.

"Don't worry, you are certainly different from that heartless one."

Su Nian patted Artoria's shoulder with great certainty to comfort her.

As one of his former wives, how could Artoria's treatment be compared to that heartless Merlin?

It was just that when using Displacement Magic, there was a small accident while displacing Merlin's Concept and Spirit Status.

He just accidentally displaced Merlin the Incubus into Merlin the Succubus, though later, relying on Merlin's excellent methods, he still successfully kept his "gills."

There were also some other results caused by failed experiments, but all in all, isn't Merlin still living perfectly well now?

There are no extra parts on the body, nor are there any missing parts.

"Master, the more you say that, the more uneasy I feel."

Artoria said expressionlessly; she was already trying her best to suppress her emotions.

If she didn't know that Su Nian was another Arthur, she would have almost thought that Su Nian was another Merlin.
