Chapter 17

Of course, not choosing to concoct potions, but directly devouring various items or living beings that contain Beyonder characteristics can also allow oneself to undergo metamorphosis and gain control over various abilities.

After all, this universe was evolved from the Primordial Creator, and the Beyonder characteristics within it all contain His authority and power.

However, because the Primordial Creator's mental imprint is deeply hidden within various Beyonder characteristics, and due to the mutual repulsion between different Beyonder characteristics, recklessly devouring various items containing Beyonder characteristics is basically seeking death.

Even if one ultimately succeeds and does not die, they will basically go mad, lose sanity, or become an indescribable lump.

In the early Second Epoch, the many ancient gods born in the Dark Ages were due to their bodies containing completely contradictory Beyonder characteristics, causing these ancient gods to initially lack sanity, having only chaos and madness.

Later, these ancient gods, through procreation, instinctively expelled part of the contradictory Beyonder characteristics, purifying the authority within their bodies, and only then did they possess sanity.

And at the end of the Second Epoch, after God's resurrection, the ancient sun god awakened from the Chaos Sea, one of the nine Primordial Substances, bringing out the first blasphemous slate recording various Beyond Sequence knowledge, and only then did this world have a complete potion system.

According to the potion system, strictly consuming the corresponding sequence potion, although one will still constantly be affected by the various madness contained in the Beyonder characteristics, compared to recklessly devouring items containing various Beyonder characteristics, it is already considered a relatively safe Beyond path.

And on the blasphemous slate, a total of twenty-two sequence pathways are recorded, or they can be called God's Pathways.

These sequence pathways range from Sequence 9 to Sequence 0, with strength gradually increasing.

Upon reaching Sequence 0, one is considered to have grasped a portion of the Primordial Creator's authority; on Earth alone, calling it divine authority is not an exaggeration.

Therefore, in this world, Sequence 0 is also called a True God.

Because these sequence authorities are not self-cultivated by beings but actually come from the Primordial Creator, each sequence's top can only have one Sequence 0 True God.

Moreover, because it is not self-cultivation but rather accommodating the authority and the Great Dao of the Primordial Creator, who can evolve the universe, this world's Beyond system is biased to an extreme, even said to be bizarre to an extreme, and cannot be divided by the normal cultivation levels of the other heavens.

This is because, in this world's Beyond system, most sequence pathways do not follow a direct combat line, but instead play with the various authorities and concepts possessed by the Primordial Creator.

For example, the protagonist Zhou Mingreach achieved Sequence 0 of the Seer pathway, becoming the Fool True God, after which he can already use his own authority and concepts to extinguish the blazing sun.

But despite his great power, his life level has not truly reached that point; his body is still not very strong, and if he were to suffer a direct impact from the blazing sun, he would also directly fall.

Of course, given his life-preserving ability and his manipulation of various rule concepts, under normal circumstances he would not directly face lethal danger.

However, this also illustrates the bizarreness of this world's Beyond system, which is completely different from the cultivation system of the Longevity Realm where essence, energy, and spirit metamorphose together without major shortcomings.

Of course, the entire universe does not merely have only twenty-two Beyond pathways; this is merely the Beyond pathways possessed on Earth.

Besides Earth, the universe also contains other Beyond pathways.

However, during the Primordial Creator's awakening process on Earth, the Primordial Substance and Beyonder characteristics He split off, together with those attracted to Earth, amount to only the authority of the nine Primordial Substances and the twenty-two pathways.

Therefore, the first blasphemous slate only records the sequence system of the twenty-two pathways.

And above the Sequence 0 True God, there are also Old Ones that accommodate the Primordial Substance and multiple adjacent sequence authorities.

In the present era, many planets outside Earth are orbiting, awaiting the Outer Gods who wait for the barrier of the Primordial Creator's power on Earth to disappear; they are all Old Ones.

And among the many Old Ones above the Sequence 0 True God, the strongest are the Celestial Venerable, God, and the Fallen Mother God, who respectively symbolize the spiritual realm, star realm, and material world of this universe, and are also called the Three Pillars.

Sequence 9 to Sequence 0, the ordinary Old Ones above the sequences, the Three Pillars, the Primordial Creator.

This series of ordering is the hierarchy division of this universe's Beyond system.

If according to Fengyi's own understanding, this world's Beyond system is a continuous gathering of the Primordial Creator's Great Dao, authority, rules, and power, absorbing them entirely into one's body, thereby gradually becoming the Primordial Creator, which can be considered a left-hand path system.

Considering it, Fengyi's current path of accommodating Fuxi's status and concepts is actually quite similar to this system, which can be used as a reference; no wonder he came to this world.

If the Primordial Creator has completely fallen, even his mental imprint no longer exists, then this system can also be considered a decent system.

Because this is a form of inheritance rather than cultivation, there is no need to worry about insufficient aptitude, talent, comprehension, or an unstable foundation.

As long as one continually devours potions and various Beyonder characteristics, accommodating the Primordial Creator's various authorities and powers, anyone, even a dog, as long as they do not go mad, can become another Primordial Creator in the shortest time.

But unfortunately, although the Primordial Creator is mad, He still possesses sanity; He does not want to die, He wants to be resurrected, and His mental imprint has not disappeared but exists within all things in the universe.

This Beyond system, by continually accommodating the Primordial Creator's authority, rules, and power to strengthen oneself, is also the process of becoming a vessel for the Primordial Creator's awakening.

Moreover, because the fundamental law of this universe is aggregation and division, upon reaching a certain level, even if one does not wish, one cannot control the instinct to aggregate, forcibly accommodating the remaining authority and power, allowing the Primordial Creator to awaken.

"'The higher the Sequence, the greater the madness contained within, and the stronger the aggregation instinct; even beings like the Celestial Venerable and God, who are directly split personalities from the Primordial Creator, as pillar-level Old Ones at the apex of the universe, ultimately cannot control the aggregation instinct and head toward mutual destruction—truly a mad world!'"

Thoughts turning in his mind, Fengyi involuntarily had a saying circulating in this world appear in his brain:

"'We are guardians, yet also pitiful worms constantly fighting against danger and madness!'"

Sighing silently in his heart, Fengyi gathered his thoughts and refocused his mind on the new power contained within his body.

For the people of this world, this sequence system, due to the Primordial Creator's mental imprint, is a very dangerous path.

But for Fengyi, who needs to accommodate Fuxi's status and concepts, this sequence system is a very good reference system.

Perhaps guided by this world's rules, and after devouring the Primordial Creator's mental imprint contained in Fengyi's alternate-world doppelgänger, extracting its rules, the Fuxi status and concepts contained in the Yellow Clay Altar also transformed into a special power, settling in Fengyi's innate spiritual light, seemingly with the aid of this world's Beyond system, gradually merging into his innate spiritual light, truly becoming a part of him, truly belonging to him.

"'Does this mean that, beyond the original sequences, I have obtained a new sequence, a special sequence not originally belonging to this universe?'"

"'That's also not bad; gradually accommodating Fuxi's status and concepts step by step, growing incrementally, mastering it bit by bit from the foundation, making it fully one's own, also reduces much risk.'"

"'However, spacetime, fate, the Way of Yi, Chaos, yin-yang, the Eight Trigrams, celestial phenomena, earth veins, divination through deduction.'"

"'Now I am truly a Seer pathway, no, there is still more.'"

"'Heavenly phenomena, earth veins, human fortune. Gathering masses, human strength. Order, rules.'"

"'Black Emperor? Judge? Or even more.'"

"'Music. The guqin of life and death.'"

"'Is this the Fuxi status and concepts contained in the Yellow Clay Altar?'"

More and more information surfaced, as if after Fengyi fully digests Fuxi's status and concepts in the future, he will be able to wield that authority, causing his expression to become somewhat dazed.

"If we go by this world's terminology, how many paths of an extraordinary being am I currently walking?"
