Chapter 530: Conceptual Rewriting

Although Li Heng is not clear about the origins of the Calamity and the monsters.

Yet at this very moment, he can clearly perceive that the Black Hole Essence is beginning to transform in the direction of the Calamity and the monster, and its aura is gradually becoming terrifying and powerful, somewhat indescribable.

Extreme unwillingness and grief-stricken anger can actually transform into a Calamity monster? It seems this is also one of the pathways for the origin of Calamities and monsters.

Li Heng is lost in thought.

But it is a pity he cannot wait any longer; if he could, he would very much like to wait for the Black Hole Essence's mutation to succeed. After all, this would allow him to observe the entire process of a Calamity or monster being born, and incidentally, he could also obtain more Source Power and Golden Source Points—wouldn't that be wonderful?

But if it continues to be polluted and mutated like this.

The Infinite Element possessed by the Black Hole Essence might also be polluted. By then, just like the Infinite Element of the Infinite Mechanism, it would be unusable or would only add hidden dangers, which is not advisable.

Unless... one pulls a "civet cat for the crown prince" swap.

Li Heng thinks for a moment.

It is known that he has the Infinite Mechanism on him, an Infinite Element that very likely contains hidden dangers, and it is also known that the current Black Hole Essence still possesses an unpolluted Infinite Element.

Then, he can temporarily swap the two Infinite Elements.

Of course, he could also unilaterally take the Infinite Element over. But after removing the Infinite Element, this Black Hole Essence would likely lose the foundation of its mutation into a monster and a Calamity.

By then, he would not be able to observe the complete process, so that is not advisable.

As for how to swap them? That is also very simple.

Cheat!

With a movement of his mind, Li Heng's Source Power pours out rapidly, then transforms into a profound and mysterious power, swapping the two types of Infinite Elements at the conceptual level.

And due to the special nature of the Source Power, its status is extremely high.

The Black Hole Essence has not yet realized this point and has been undergoing metamorphosis; it has no idea that in that very instant, not only was its "kidney" swapped by someone, but its heart was swapped as well.

Li Heng nods slightly; the consumption of Source Power matches his expectations. It should be that his strength already completely crushes the Black Hole Essence, so the Source Power consumed is not much, and he did not use any Golden Source Points.

However, because the Infinite Mechanism has lost its own portion of the Infinite Element, its strength has now fallen below the Sacred level, and Li Heng is also unable to use the Infinite Power.

Of course, it is also very simple to make up for this point.

Either slaughter the Black Hole Essence and take that portion of the Infinite Element back, or stuff the unpolluted Infinite Element he just took, which is currently in his hand, into the Infinite Mechanism.

But he will not do that.

After all, the Infinite Mechanism is full of Calamity, and he still does not understand the strange, indestructible essence of that Calamity to this day. Who knows if, once the unpolluted Infinite Element is stuffed into the Infinite Mechanism, it will cause the Infinite Element to be polluted again?

Since he can win, he will not take such a risk.

So he takes the Infinite Element in his hand back into his body and then begins to watch the metamorphosis of the Black Hole Essence. He wants to observe the formation process of the Calamity monster, he wants the Source Power after the Black Hole Essence dies, and he also wants to take back the Infinite Element that should belong to the Infinite Mechanism.

In short, he wants it all!

At this moment, Xuanyang and Youxuan beside him are terrified.

The power currently erupting from the Black Hole Essence is truly too terrifying; every strand of aura it emits seems capable of directly destroying the Present World, and there is an infinite amount of such aura!

What is even more terrifying is that they also feel the aura of the Calamity!

This black hole seems to be turning into a Calamity, turning into a monster.

Now this black hole seems to have become an embryo, gestating something indescribable, unspeakable, and extremely terrifying, making their spiritual sense jump, unable to stop at all.

Their body's instincts are urging them to run away!

This is simply unbelievable.

After all, with their level of cultivation, they have long since completely tamed their own bodies. Every subtle part of themselves is under the control of their own minds; there should not be a feeling of being out of control.

Yet this feeling has appeared.

Even if they want to block this feeling, they cannot.

"Great Fierce, a Great Fierce object! It is even more terrifying than the Calamity clone that previously shrouded the Present World Heaven and Earth and invaded along the Time Axis!"

Xuanyang mutters incessantly, trying to suppress the trembling of his instincts.

"Great Terror, it reminds me of the beginning of the Reincarnation's destruction!"

Youxuan says solemnly.

Although he has the identity of the artifact spirit of the Reincarnation Artifact, the Reincarnation Disk, the Reincarnation Disk is now incomplete, and he, as an artifact spirit, also appears incomparably weak; at this moment, his appearance is just as unsightly as Xuanyang's.

They cannot help but cast their gaze toward Li Heng, feeling puzzled in their hearts.

Is the Imperial Teacher/Master not going to act yet?

What exactly is he waiting for?

"Fellow Daoist Li Heng, what has happened here?"

At this moment, the Void breaks open, and the Present World Heavenly Dao, Shen Nu Tian Yao, appears beside Li Heng, standing side by side with him. Her expression is puzzled and incomparably solemn; clearly, she also senses the crisis derived from the Black Hole Essence.

"Even you have come; it is truly interesting."

Li Heng chuckles.

It seems the potential of this Black Hole Essence is not bad; after turning into a Calamity monster, it should be able to destroy the foundation of the Present World Heaven and Earth that he has strengthened, making it unable to be reborn; otherwise, it should not have attracted Tian Yao's attention.

"Wait with peace of mind; there won't be any major problems."

Knowing that all three are anxious and puzzled, Li Heng says calmly.

At this moment, he feels more and more that his decision was correct.

Because under observation, he has discovered some clues.

For instance, the concept representing the Black Hole Essence is being rewritten.

If one takes the three characters "Black Hole Essence" as the foundation of the Black Hole Essence, then now, these three characters have already begun to distort and change, just like clerical script turning into wild cursive.

Even in the end, the three characters have become completely blurred, and their meanings have developed problems. And reaching this degree also indicates that this Black Hole Essence is completely dead.

He cannot see any external force intervening in this change process. It is as if it happened suddenly. Clearly, there is a higher, mysterious power at work within this.

However, Li Heng is not discouraged.

Since he has already seen the process of change, he is equivalent to having already begun to gradually understand, wanting to transform the Unknown in the mysterious into the Known.

Since on the surface, the transformation of normal objects into a Calamity or monsters is the fundamental concept being rewritten and distorted, could there not appear a relatively universal method—one that not only he can use, but most living beings can also use—to stop the rewriting or even reverse it?

Of course, this is actually a bit too ambitious. Aside from Source Power, he cannot find any force capable of stopping the rewriting or reversing it; he lacks the power that can act upon this process.

Power, power, Li Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Perhaps, when the Heavenly Emperor departed for the Unknown back then...

... it was to search for such a power?

He has no way of knowing this; he can only vaguely guess, and he cannot even confirm if this understanding of his is truly correct. After all, he is only looking at the surface and has not touched upon the fundamentals; he can only conduct experiments and make inferences according to scientific methods.

Is it really the concept being rewritten? He is not clear on that either.

He only knows that he is about to take action.

Li Heng looked at the unidentified object before him that had finished its mutation and could not be known if it should be called the "Demon of the Black Hole," and smiled slightly.
