Chapter 471: Invasion of the Tide of Thought

Evolution, update, iteration...

This core ideology constantly bombarded Li Heng's mind, wanting him to accept it, assimilate him, and have him thoroughly become the new self of this self-Calamity, to evolve once more.

Under the protection of Source Power.

Li Heng's consciousness was clear, without any chaos; the so-called bombardment and assimilation were merely wisps of breeze before him, refreshing when they blew, and instead making his body and mind feel comfortable.

After all, aside from being assimilated.

That evolution was also a true evolution.

Through the power of this self-Calamity's update and iteration, the cultivation within his body operated at high speed, running through the circulation, constantly changing, trial-and-error, and evolving, causing his level to rise with the tide.

In short, Li Heng was just wool-gathering.

However, this self-Calamity was very vigilant; seeing that its assimilation and bombardment had stalled and could not affect Li Heng, it manifested a human form to appear before him.

"What do you want to do now? Didn't you just agree!"

The human form said angrily.

Li Heng shrugged and smiled slightly.

"Why are you in such a rush? Anyway, we are both wrapped in this Giant Cocoon, and neither of us can run away, so why worry about any accidents?"

"Besides, it's not that I want to reject you, but that your power cannot even break through my surface. I can't very well hurt myself and then let you enter my body to merge with me, can I?"

The human form was left speechless.

And it was indeed as Li Heng said; now Li Heng was wrapped in the Giant Cocoon and could not escape. Li Heng was not resisting either, but rather their power could not force its way in no matter what.

However, as the saying goes, one is the knife and the other is the fish.

Now that they had trapped Li Heng and held the initiative, their tone was no longer so polite, and they spoke coldly.

"Do not waste any more time. You should actively embrace our power instead of having us exert effort unilaterally. Do you not want to know what that power is?"

It seems the human form had learned to lure with benefits.

Li Heng smiled, neither anxious nor annoyed.

"Why are you in such a hurry? And if I were to achieve the new self, then you would become the old self, swallowed and eliminated by me. That belongs to suicidal behavior, so why are you in such a hurry?"

The human form shook its head coldly upon hearing this.

"The new self defeating the old self is a common principle, a truth. Since that is the case, if you are superior to me, then I deserve to be eliminated and swallowed. What is there to evade?"

"Everything is for evolution, update, and iteration!"

Listening to such solemn words, Li Heng pondered slightly.

This kind of talk was quite paranoid.

"Fine, fine, fine, then I will actively embrace you. The premise is that you can withstand it." Li Heng smiled subtly, opened his arms, let go of his defenses, and allowed the self-Calamity to invade him.

The next moment, he was placed in a wondrous state.

He was placed within a tide of thought.

If one said that just now he was only facing that tide of evolution, update, and iteration, then now he was placed within it, rising and falling with this tide, constantly being assimilated by it.

In a trance, he could see all kinds of illusions.

There were Martial Dao god-men shattering the Void, constantly ascending to the Upper Realm.

There were magic sages constantly learning, creating the Immortal Magic Net.

There were Nano Machine Swarms infinitely deriving, constantly updating and iterating.

All kinds of illusions, no matter what, had three core words.

Evolution, update, iteration.

This core ideology was very normal.

After all, almost all living beings and civilizations pursued evolution, and this was exactly the attitude of seeking the Great Dao; as the saying goes, "If one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening," that is exactly it.

But after Li Heng felt it deeply, he discovered something else.

This kind of thought carried a demonic nature.

He did not know if this demonic nature was innate or if it was produced after being polluted. But after being stained with this demonic nature, perhaps you really could evolve infinitely, but whether the evolved you was still you, that was a different matter.

Perhaps this thing was only suitable for some madmen?

Li Heng pondered in his heart.

While thinking, he also radiated his own thoughts, mixing them into this demonic tide of evolution, conversely assimilating it, infecting it, and even reversing it.

It was unclear what the gains of this operation would be.

But Li Heng felt it was very interesting.

Reversing a Calamity, subverting its ideology, and rewriting it.

This was also quite interesting, wasn't it?

At this moment, if one raised the perspective and looked down at this ocean of thought from an absolutely high position, one would find that the originally pure-colored ocean now had an extra mixed color.

This mixed color constantly encroached, began to expand, and at the same time triggered the counterattack of the original evolution tide, attempting to conversely swallow this mixed color.

However, this mixed color was still increasing more and more.

"What are you doing?!"

The human form suddenly appeared before Li Heng and said angrily.

"What did I do?"

Li Heng was confused, waved his hands, and said innocently.

"You are polluting the Great evolution!"

The human form roared.

"I don't understand." Li Heng smiled, playing dumb.

"Do you really want to resist evolution!"

The humanoid calmed down and questioned Li Heng.

Li Heng shook his head.

"Stay calm, I haven't resisted the evolution; it's just that your abilities are insufficient. It's like a lake wanting to swallow and assimilate an ocean, but in the end, who swallows whom?"

He spoke softly, smiling as he retorted to the humanoid.

"This analogy is inappropriate; evolution is the Truth, not some lake or some ocean."

The humanoid was silent for a moment, then spoke again to refute him.

Li Heng shrugged and gave a dismissive laugh.

"Think what you want; I've made my point. Besides, I haven't resisted your assimilation; I've been trying hard to become your new self, it's just that you aren't trying hard enough."

"That's just how it is, it's so helpless."

Listening to Li Heng's words, the humanoid just wanted to vomit blood.

He realized he had somewhat invited a wolf into the house; he hadn't succeeded in capturing Li Heng to become a new entity, but instead, the Greatness of evolution had been polluted by the thoughts Li Heng radiated.

"Hmph, you won't succeed!"

After delivering this threat, the humanoid vanished.

Subsequently, this tide of evolutionary thought began to strengthen continuously, aiming to swallow and exhaust the influence of the thoughts Li Heng emitted.

Li Heng smiled and paid it no mind.

The reason he agreed to the self-Calamity to become a new self was mainly to see what power this self-Calamity had embraced; he had never said he would be proactive.

And now, he would soon know the truth.

Li Heng's gaze was deep, as if he wanted to pierce through something...

And at this moment, in that terrifying plane where corpses lay everywhere and the Calamity was entrenched, the gaze projected from the Supreme Palace became increasingly suspicious and uncertain.

What is going on? Why has Chaos appeared?

Although that place is the Dao field of that kid Xuanyang, and an extremely chaotic evil god that updates and changes at any time is entrenched there, this area has already been completely sealed, solidified, and stilled; why would such a change occur?

Could it be that the evil god wants to break through the seal?

The being behind the gaze pondered.

He wondered if it was necessary for him to do something.
