If all the ’Dao’ in a world are created by martial artists, wouldn’t that be creation?

In contemplation, He Ao sensed the void consciousness within himself.

In fact, this pre-set ’creation’ experience consumed quite a bit.

During He Ao’s promotion, the void consciousness accumulated was almost completely depleted, and in the process, it merged into the rules of the New Netherworld. However, once he returned to the Main World, this consciousness would be continuously replenished, so it’s not much of an issue.

If a way could be found to link the Establishment Dao World with oneself and cleverly use the power of the Establishment Dao World during creation, the martial artist’s ’creation’ doesn’t seem completely fantastical.

Of course, the premise is that this martial artist must understand all the world’s rules and can thereby create similar rules, possessing the knowledge to construct the entire world’s rules from scratch.

These skills, even if placed before a martial artist to learn, would likely require a lengthy period.

The difficulty can almost be described as impossible.

But if we disregard all these prerequisites and challenges, according to a martial artist’s abilities, ’creation’ seems indeed a path that can continue to be pursued.

Based on the Grim Reaper’s creation of the Netherworld and New Netherworld, creation isn’t entirely impossible in the universe.

Divine Beings have their creation methods, martial artists have theirs.

So, owning one’s own world is the next stage of martial arts?

From a world’s executor to becoming the world itself?

From Heaven’s chosen child to becoming Heaven itself?

He Ao doesn’t know if this path is correct, but based on current circumstances, this path is the only conceivable martial arts path for him now.

The Martial Arts Manual he initially received still has two final pages he cannot fathom.

The second-to-last page features some blurry lines, devoid of human figures, only scattered clouds and radiance.

Abstract like the system’s character card.

However, He Ao understands what the key elements mean in the system’s character card; he has experienced events related to character cards and can decipher the metaphors within.

This Martial Arts Manual is missing too much, and he cannot piece together the preceding content to understand the subsequent content, only speculate it might relate to some abstract realm.

As for the last page of the Martial Arts Manual, it’s even more abstract, filled with dense dots and some ambiguous phrases.

This is utterly incomprehensible.

However, given that there are no clear records or circulating legends of Martial Arts Usurper God in the dungeon world, perhaps the content on the Martial Arts Manual isn’t entirely accurate.

Regardless, reaching this point, the future path is almost entirely up to him to explore.

Currently, what He Ao can think of is only this path of creation, but clearly it’s extremely challenging to realize.

This feels more difficult than the promotion of Talent Sequences to Usurper God.

After all, those capable of creation he encountered are the Grim Reaper and the wizard from the system’s reward background story, and the wizard doesn’t seem to have completely created but captured a small world and modified its laws.

However, if the goal is to master a world and shape all its rules using martial arts, perhaps one doesn’t need to follow the most difficult path of creation?

In contemplation, a spiritual enlightenment flashed through He Ao’s mind.

Can existing worlds be directly used?

If an existing, controlled world is used, ’creating rules’ with martial arts becomes ’reshaping rules’ with martial arts.

With a reference to compare, repairing and reshaping based on the original world rules is much simpler than creating from scratch.

For someone mastering creation knowledge, creation might be easier than repair, but the issue for He Ao is he doesn’t have this knowledge.

Referencing the rules of a world to modify and reshape can instead help him master this knowledge.

The creation knowledge of the ’New Netherworld’ gained from the Skull Giant’s memory can help him penetrate to the world’s core and complete the initial, toughest step.

So where is there a world perfect for He Ao to attempt reshaping?

He Ao holds such a world, the Martial Arts World within the Trapped Destiny Plate.

Although that world was completely destroyed by the power left by his good friend, it’s still better than none.

With the thought process clarified, He Ao let out a slight breath of relief.

In a sense, the ’creation’ experience obtained in the dungeon world is almost priceless.

After all, not everyone who wants to create can create; even the Grim Reaper requires extensive preparation, these experiences far exceeding his current level elevated his field of view fundamentally, letting him see higher levels and explore some future paths.

Although as dungeon difficulty increases, encountering Divine Beings and even higher existences becomes more frequent, making dungeons increasingly dangerous.

But along with these dangers come countless unimaginable opportunities.

Wrapping up his thoughts, He Ao looked at the cards in his field of view.

Along with his gaze, a line of text appeared.

[Would you like to pay 24 Exchange Stars to exchange for ’The Dead’? (Your available Exchange Stars: 19.5)]

Huh?

He Ao glanced at the remaining 19.5 Exchange Stars.

’Abnormal’ costs 18 stars, ’The Dead’ costs 24 stars, is this reasonable?

Is the gap between the two that large?

Hmm, it seems there is indeed a gap.

’The Dead’ comes with a world.

Although He Ao has not really experienced the feeling of being a creator, after stabilizing the New Netherworld, Hawke’s body’s power was entirely depleted and he had returned to the Main World.

In fact, He Ao himself doesn’t know what the New Netherworld actually looks like.

Currently, aside from the ’The Dead’ character card he can exchange, he doesn’t seem to have a way to enter the New Netherworld, after all, it is a world of the dead.

However, based on his final sense, the New Netherworld should eventually ’on time’ cover the entire dungeon world, at least covering the entire Federation’s governing area.

In the future, the dead in the Federation should have lower mutation rates.

From this perspective, the Netherworld is very important.

And to its creator, the Netherworld is also very important.

Naturally, while deciphering the rules for shaping the New Netherworld, He Ao also felt the Grim Reaper’s ’framework’ embedded within these rules.

The most core one is that the creator of the New Netherworld can at any time sacrifice the souls of the New Netherworld to rejuvenate himself.

This means that in the original design, the entire New Netherworld was intended to be the Grim Reaper’s blood pack.

The Grim Reaper can at any time sacrifice the souls of the New Netherworld to repair himself.

It’s equivalent to the entire world being designed initially as a super blood pack for the Grim Reaper.

Of course, thinking along these lines, since the New Netherworld has this foundational rule, does the real ’Netherworld’ have a similar rule?

Is the entire Netherworld, in essence, a limitless blood pack the Grim Reaper carries?

Viewed from this perspective, the Grim Reaper’s true power probably hasn’t been revealed.

He Ao watched the character card in his field of view gradually fade away.

The Exchange Stars of the system are generally divided directly according to power, and the higher the number of Exchange Stars on a card, the stronger its own power usually is.

Within the same tier, the number of Exchange Stars is usually not too different.

At the end of the last dungeon world, He Ao thought that the Abnormal with 18 Stars was already close to a Usurper God, or perhaps even at the God-Overstepping Level.

But now, seeing the ’Dead One’ directly with 24 Stars, absorbing six more Exchange Stars, it seems that near the God-Overstepping Level, the power gap is probably also very large.

Following this inference, the further upward one goes, the gap within the same tier might be even greater than the difference between an Angel and a mortal.

So what about those Divine Beings at even higher tiers?

Looking back, He Ao’s success in this dungeon also had a significant element of luck.

He borrowed the power left behind by the War God, activating the injury left by the War God, temporarily obstructing the Grim Reaper’s main body.

Then a good friend, hidden in the shadows, struck and eliminated the Grim Reaper’s hidden power in the New Netherworld, not giving the Grim Reaper a chance to unleash power.

Throughout this process, He Ao actually never confronted the Grim Reaper directly; he simply, with the help of a good friend and previous accumulations, momentarily restricted the Grim Reaper’s actions and, taking advantage of the Grim Reaper’s inability to strike, completed the integration of the New Netherworld.

However, these plans can only be used once. Next time, the Grim Reaper will likely be fully prepared, and by then, He Ao will either need a new plan to deal with Him or have to confront this Divine Being directly.

Furthermore, that day may come soon.

He Ao knows very well that aside from the Witch of Desire, the Grim Reaper obviously also has a significant interest in him, or rather, ’hostility’.

The plan to replace ’K’ faith and thereby replace He Ao was clearly meticulously designed, with the clear objective of completely eliminating He Ao.

But speaking of hatred, apart from one instance with Elijah, He Ao before this had almost no intense conflicts with the Grim Reaper, or even with the Death God Sect.

In contrast, he had quite a few friendly interactions with a good friend.

But the Grim Reaper has this hostility towards ’K’, trying all means to resolve ’K’.

If the Grim Reaper is not the type to hold a grudge for a lifetime after one offense, then this hostility must be attributed to other aspects.

This hostility might not stem from anything He Ao did but from something He Ao does not know.

In fact, from this perspective, the sister’s hostility towards me also seems quite ’sudden’.

In recent instances, She did not hesitate to personally descend with power to hunt down He Ao, attempting to devour He Ao’s soul.

It’s as if, after some boundary, She suddenly became unusually concerned about He Ao.

Before this, Her attitude towards He Ao was akin to that towards a good friend.

She viewed He Ao as a slightly larger ant, one that could be killed at any moment, directly descending a power to end matters.

However, it seems from the last dungeon, He Ao found that She was consciously ’searching’ for He Ao and attempting to control and capture him.

Where is the dividing line in this situation?

Did He Ao ascend to Angel level?

The power colors of the Grim Reaper and the Witch of Desire are purple, just like the Super Memory power.

Is it because He Ao and these two Divine Beings are of the same attribute?

But with so many Angels of the same attribute, why are They so focused on me?

Because I’m attempting to ascend to God-Overstepping Level?

Divine Beings and Usurper Gods of the same attribute should have some kind of conflict.

But this only explains the Witch of Desire’s hostility towards me.

After all, He Ao can basically confirm that Super Memory and the one at Winding Hill should be on the same path, because the specific formula for Memory Inheritor was obtained by He Ao at Winding Hill.

And the one at Winding Hill was killed by the Witch of Desire, leaving behind a great number of Thunder Whip Corpses.

The one at Winding Hill had conflicts with the Witch of Desire, so as the one on the same path, it’s understandable that He Ao would be ’cared for’ by the Witch of Desire while seeking God-Overstepping Level.

Of course, though this is a bit forced.

After all, too many Angels attempt to ascend to God-Overstepping Level, but most are cannon fodder, not worthy of a god’s attention; only true Usurper Gods are worth it.

But even so, the Grim Reaper cannot be tied into this unless His hostility towards He Ao comes from somewhere else.

Like ’Super Memory’?

Super Memory directly comes from the sub-body of a good friend, and it itself doesn’t seem to belong to any Talent Sequence.

Though it holds a ’272’ sequence number, it initially was an F-level Talent Sequence, and unlike most Talent Sequences, it binds to the soul; only at the Angel Tier does it spread power to the body.

Moreover, 272’s Talent Sequence is actually ’Memory Inheritor’.

But after promotion, every Talent Sequence in the system interface is directly replaced by Super Memory and becomes Super Memory.

Even the Memory Inheritor of sequence 272 is no exception.

This possibly suggests that in the system’s assessment, Super Memory holds a higher Position than all other Talent Sequences of the same path?

But why?

A good friend might know, but judging from using Super Memory as the core of sub-bodies, perhaps, in essence, it’s not particularly ’precious’, at least not to a good friend.

Or rather, what’s precious isn’t Super Memory itself, but a Super Memory that has grown?

In any case, the Grim Reaper’s actions lack core support, even the Witch of Desire’s actions, He Ao feels are not fully supported.

But the Witch of Desire should know the method for Super Memory’s promotion to God-Overstepping Level.

After all, the one at Winding Hill is suspected to be a Usurper God, and he was killed by the Witch of Desire.

The Witch of Desire likely devoured the one at Winding Hill like a good friend consuming a Tuning Master, and the resting place of that Usurper God’s corpse became Winding Hill.

Even so, the Witch of Desire did not relent, leaving power ’whipping the corpse’ at Winding Hill, and that corpse was also stolen by someone unknown, leaving only an ’empty tomb’ at Winding Hill.

Perhaps, the stolen corpse had certain characteristics, otherwise the Witch of Desire wouldn’t whip the corpse, nor would anyone steal it.

Finding the thief might lead to the corpse and discover the method for Super Memory’s promotion to God-Overstepping Level.

But whoever stole the corpse, wouldn’t be weak.

After all, he managed to silently steal something under the Witch of Desire’s watch.

He Ao rubbed his brow.

In such a vast and boundless universe, finding a powerful being skilled in hiding is too difficult.

But in short, from the current standpoint, the Grim Reaper and the Witch of Desire are undoubtedly hostile, enemies.

The situation with a good friend is unclear, but when dealing with the Grim Reaper, cooperation is clearly possible.

Of course, a good friend may not truly be a friend.

After all, a good friend’s power attribute is gray, and that of the Secret Wizard is also gray.

In the Main World here, the God of Machinery is also an enemy.

Counting it up, it seems I have quite a few enemies.

He Ao watched the text change in his field of view.
