Chapter 149: The Sole Uniqueness

Seclusion was like a brief sleep, yet time flew by like a white horse glimpsed through a crack; every breakthrough of the spiritual limit accommodated more knowledge, while also plunging him into a longer period of digestion afterward.

In the God-Abandoned Land there were neither sun nor star sky, only eerie screams and eyes hidden in the darkness like the netherworld.

Jiang Xuan slowly opened his eyes; a golden ring flickered briefly in the depths of his gaze, hidden deep within.

"What wondrous Rule Power!" Golden rings faintly appeared in his eyes, and lines similar to Spirit Body Threads emerged on every person and every object.

These were the Fate Threads of every person or thing; he could intervene in these threads, causing errors in their fate, thereby completely affecting everything about the other party.

If he severed and grafted their Fate Threads, Jiang Xuan could replace that person and continue to possess their fate, while that person would vanish without a trace, and no one could discover a person who had lost their fate.

Most importantly, errors also granted him the ability to steal; he could steal any goods from anyone who could see Fate Threads, and could also steal abstract things such as time, space, and spirit.

Overall, even without counting his body-refined physique and Dao arts, he was a True God who possessed the "Fool" Characteristic and the "Error" Uniqueness.

Unlike Uniqueness and True Gods, Jiang Xuan had not completely constructed his own Realm.

Originally, when absorbing the curtain, Jiang Xuan already possessed a prototype of the "Hidden" Realm; now, after absorbing Amon's Uniqueness, the prototype of the "Hidden" Realm was added to the "Error" Rule, and even some knowledge sensed by the Old One's Box trembled along with it, making the composed thing change greatly, appearing instead more incomplete.

"Realm Manifest!" Jiang Xuan lightly pointed forward, and a large number of shadows rippled in the space; if one could see Rule Power, they would discover that strands of Rule Power accumulated like bricks, and the rules in the entire space were gradually changing.

But it stopped hastily when the bricks were half stacked, so it was merely a prototype of a Divine Kingdom.

Simply put, a True God's Divine Kingdom was constructing an environment completely favorable to oneself and unfavorable to others.

Like the Night Goddess's Deep Dark Heaven, where it was like the God-Abandoned Land with no sun or day, in the eternal night, the power displayed by the Night Goddess was the most top-tier.

Of course, this did not mean that possessing a Divine Kingdom made one invincible within it; just like on the Covering the Heavens Continent, Saints already possessed their own Realm, yet could only be considered mid-level.

The collision of Realms and Realms would always result in the weaker side being crushed and defeated; before absolute strength, forcibly entering a Realm to kill the other party was not very difficult.

Jiang Xuan lightly tapped his hand, and a huge stone actually floated in the wind like a leaf; this was grafting the Fate Threads of plants onto the stone.

Immediately afterward, the stone actually stood up, becoming a genuine stone man hammering the ground; this was Jiang Xuan using the Puppet Master's ability.

Originally, the use of "Error" needed to conform to certain logic and similarity, but within the Divine Kingdom, Jiang Xuan could ignore any conditions, and because of the partial Rule integration of the same-origin "Door" and "Mystery" Pathways, this characteristic of ignoring all logic and rules became even more powerful, even more eerie!

Jiang Xuan looked back at the entrance connecting Chernobyl to the Chaos Sea, and strode outward.

After integrating the "Error" Uniqueness, Jiang Xuan received a piece of information: that he could no longer mobilize the Chaos Sea, let alone refine it into the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Source Quality was part of God's body, or Spirit Will, or even a Divine Kingdom, and even obsession and thoughts; likewise, Source Quality differentiated into corresponding Pathways.

The Chaos Sea only had same-origin Sequences: Dreamer, Sun, White Tower, Tyrant, Hanged Man; mastering one or more Rules was required to enter the Chaos Sea and attempt to control its power.

And Jiang Xuan obviously had a target: Adam, who mastered the First Blasphemy Slate and was stained by the Primordial Sun God's spirit.

The Primordial Sun God could not allow his resurrection; not to mention the recent near-death conflict between Adam and Jiang Xuan, after all, he bore the shadow left by God, and whether he would be possessed by God after resurrection was uncertain.

Adam should be very anxious now; he needed to digest the Potion, and had to incite war in the Loen Kingdom, even trigger a God War; only by leading an Era and swallowing the Potion at the peak of the Era's turmoil could he truly break through to Sequence Zero.

What was the peak period? It was when True Gods fell because he led it!

Along the edge of the Gray Fog, Jiang Xuan returned to outside Moon City.

In this gathering place that could no longer be called a city, there was a bit more vitality than the previous deathly silence, and there were a few more people standing guard outside.

Seeing the familiar golden light appear, the young man rubbed his eyes hard and ran excitedly toward the camp: "Great Elder, the angel glowing with gold is back!"

The camp was that big; hearing the youth's shout, the Great Elder walked out quickly and just saw Jiang Xuan appear before him in an instant.

"Great Elder! Do you know how long I've been gone this time?" Jiang Xuan slightly performed a gentleman's salute; it had to be said that in this mysterious world, being able to maintain the inheritance of gentleman etiquette was quite difficult.

The Great Elder frowned and thought for a while: "We here don't have much concept of time; roughly twenty-four weeks!"

Jiang Xuan nodded slightly; twenty-four weeks was six months; he hadn't expected that this time refining the "Error" Uniqueness would take so long.

But the harvest was always gratifying!

"I'll take you to Silver City! Once I open the Giant King Court, you can go together to the North and South Continents to look around, or live here temporarily; the materials here are still very valuable in the outside world!"

Without waiting for the Great Elder's agreement, Jiang Xuan's consciousness enveloped everyone here; to say everyone, there might actually be fewer than two hundred people, and that was after Jiang Xuan had previously eliminated the pollution in their bodies, otherwise there would be many more casualties.

The space of the entire Moon City camp was enveloped and compressed, like tearing a piece from space to build into his own toy, appearing as a small cube before Jiang Xuan.

At the torn location, one could see deep and chaotic rift turbulence, and faintly from the rift one could see a reflected land flashing with red, white, and yellow light; that was the Spirit World deeply connected to this world.

Some Rules could even tear open space, teleporting oneself or others into the Spirit World; some could even transform between Spirit Body and true body, living long in the Spirit World.

Withdrawing his gaze, Jiang Xuan rushed toward Silver City in a flash.

Replacing a space several li outside Moon City and Silver City, Moon City officially connected with Silver City.

Only half a year had passed, yet Derrick had already reached Sequence Five "Priest of Light"; the living environment of the entire Silver City had improved greatly under Derrick's influence, at least newborn children no longer needed to be stained with blood and could live normally with their parents.

The Priest of Light restrained pollution and filth, and could also cleanse pollution within the human body, just that the required Spirituality consumption was not small.

It was precisely because of this ability that his status in Silver City rose like a boat with rising water; besides Colin, he was the Senator with the most say.

"Sir Envoy!" Derrick respectfully saluted.

Jiang Xuan nodded slightly: "I will go to the Giant King Court to open a passage connecting to the outside world; afterward, you can organize some people to try contacting the outside world and slowly integrate into society!"

"Thank you, Sir Envoy!" Derrick's eyes were full of worship; although he had already worked very hard, he had only made life in Silver City a little better, while the Fool's Envoy directly solved the most fundamental problem of this land.

Colin ran over from afar in a hurry: "Angel Sir, I know the way to the Giant King Court; let me lead the way for you!"

Jiang Xuan lightly shook his head: "I can go by myself; you can prepare to send people out through the Giant King Court."

The Giant King Court was the Divine Kingdom of Giant King Olmiel, where the evil spirit of Dark Angel Sasrir was hidden.

Sasrir was the leader of the eight Great Angels, Angel Kings, inheriting the Authority of Falling of the Primordial Sun God and two parts of Sequence One Beyonder Characteristics of the "Hanged Man" Pathway; previously he also mastered the First Blasphemy Slate, but afterward the Blasphemy Slate was taken by Adam, and he himself became an evil spirit due to the pollution of the Chaos Sea.

Sasrir as an evil spirit was not very difficult to deal with; with Klein's help, Colin and a group of people could solve it, let alone Jiang Xuan whose strength now far surpassed True Gods.

He just happened to recruit some believers for Klein as anchors, to better escape from the Fool's influence.

Also, to study the Rule knowledge of the "Hanged Man".

The "Hanged Man" Pathway possessed Authority over Falling, Pollution, Mutation, and other Realms; it was a pure combat Pathway, where every stage strengthened one's own combat power, and the mastered Rules targeted flesh and blood.

Unfortunately, although the Hanged Man possessed the "Falling" Authority bestowed by the Primordial Sun God, could create polluted creatures, and had pollution ability, it did not possess the Uniqueness of the "Hanged Man".

Otherwise, after Jiang Xuan dealt with the other party, he could seamlessly refine the Hanged Man's Uniqueness in the Eight Trigrams Furnace, thereby leveraging the Chaos Sea.

Unknowingly, Jiang Xuan had already appeared outside the Giant King Court; this was a round fortress building with an extremely Western architectural style, surrounded by several connected Western fortresses on the outside, and in the Void behind, faint glimmers flickered.

Striding into it, Jiang Xuan was like shrinking countless times to observe human architecture; the rough polishing technique carved exquisite Western patterns, giving a rough and mysterious feeling.

As he explored step by step, scenes of the Giant King being betrayed and falling in a bloody battle appeared in his consciousness, and many murals that did not look too ancient were inscribed on the walls.

The Sasriel Evil Spirit awoke from the dimness, its divine sense long lost.

Its body had three heads, each with an expression of ferocity that would slaughter all things, and a murky aura shrouded the entire space.

Jiang Xuan was expressionless; a Domain Prototype emerged, and he lightly tapped a finger in the void, causing two heads to burst instantly, scattering like powder in the air.

A person having three heads is wrong!

Immediately after, he slightly curled his five fingers, and the Evil Spirit stood motionless in place, its eyes full of clear confusion.

Stealing thoughts! With divine sense paving the way, no one could stop Jiang Xuan's stealing ability!

He lightly pinched his index and middle fingers upward and lifted; the Evil Spirit was like a puppet, its expression vacant as it reached its hand into its own body, grabbed something, and pulled outward with all its might.

Feeling intense pain, the Sasriel Evil Spirit finally regained its senses; accompanied by a roar, countless polluted monsters rushed toward Jiang Xuan, and the Evil Spirit seemed to have recovered some consciousness, wanting to flee this place.

But the imprisoned space blocked him, with various Rule Powers entwining around the imprisonment, not something he could break.

The next second, he looked down at his own hands and slowly and firmly ended his own life.

The meddling of Fate, the manipulation of Time, the hiding of Mystery—this battle Jiang Xuan fought entirely using Rule Power and mental power; facing a former Angel King, it was actually so simple, giving Jiang Xuan a heroic feeling of who dares to fight me.

The Sasriel Evil Spirit died, with no hope of parasitizing again, after all, Jiang Xuan in this world was a professional at playing with the spirit, and it was impossible to let its spirit escape.

Moreover, the Sasriel Evil Spirit left behind two Sequence 1 characteristic products of the "Hanged Man" Pathway.

Jiang Xuan did not absorb these characteristic products that were unpleasant to look at; he merely placed them in the Eight Trigrams Furnace to burn, using them to activate the knowledge contained within, then read and replicated them with his own consciousness, and spent a period of time understanding them.

It was a pity that the Authority of "Fallen" was reclaimed by the Chaos Sea, and Jiang Xuan could not get his hands on it.

The good news was that the monsters created by the Authority of "Fallen" all looked quite disgusting, and Jiang Xuan had no desire to use such Authority.

Even if he later digested the Source Quality of the Chaos Sea, these Authorities would only be used as provisions for Jiang Xuan's path of growth, or simply thrown directly into the Eight Trigrams Furnace to be refined, after all, the Eight Trigrams Furnace had now reached a state where nothing could not be refined.

Opening the passage behind the Giant King Court, Jiang Xuan's body instantly appeared in the North and South Continents.

Looking at the dazzling sun in the sky, it gave one a feeling of finally coming back to life.

That kind of life in the God-Abandoned Land where it was always dark and sunless was truly not a place for humans to stay! Although that environment had no effect on Jiang Xuan's body, he always felt oppressed and stifled.

Through the Gray Fog, Jiang Xuan informed Derrick that the passage had been opened, and again through the "Omniscience" ability of Asule's Brush, he remotely investigated Klein's current situation.

Surprisingly, Klein had already completely digested Sequence 4 "Bizarre Sorcerer" of the "Fool," and was already preparing to advance to Sequence Three "Ancient Scholar."

Such a rate of progress could not be called slow!

The roleplay of Ancient Scholar was very simple; as long as one knew more ancient hidden history, the potion's digestion speed would be faster.

Although Klein did not know too much now, Jiang Xuan knew quite a lot!

With divine sense assisting, he was afraid he would soon collect the materials for Sequence 2 "Miracle Master."

Mourning for three minutes for the Dark Demon Wolf that was lucky enough to survive Jiang Xuan, after all, among the materials required by Miracle Master was the heart of the Dark Demon Wolf.
