Bizarre Realm-Chapter 199 - 25: The Way of Slay Me! Legendary Domain! Time Spell! (2)
It is said that after the Shadow Sequence ascends close to Legendary, the shadow of the Transcendent will also come to life.
The shadow begins to speak, the shadow has thoughts, the shadow tries to replace the self.
If you successfully prove the Path of Destiny, the shadow will become your second body, essentially a clone in a complete shadow form. Of course, if you fail, then there’s nothing more to say; the shadow is likely to replace your thoughts, soul, and will.
The mysterious knowledge currently in Shawn’s brain is actually his consciousness clone, so the way it manifests is a bit like an auxiliary system in a game from his past life, a concept akin to an NPC.
If he didn’t go through the process of seeking the Way, the consciousness of mysterious knowledge would become his second personality.
The ultimate goal, like other Extraordinary Paths, is to completely replace Shawn himself, becoming the master of this body, which in reality means losing complete control!
Another self succeeds in possession.
"Replace my current sane self with the potentially mad one?"
"Is this the purpose of mysterious knowledge? Also, the Law distorted by the old days?"
"So part of proving the Path of Destiny."
"Is this also ’Slay Me’?"
"Slay the old self, slay the ignorant self, slay the mad self, to be reborn anew by slaying me?..."
Shawn once again felt the agitation of knowledge.
He seemed to enter the state of ’seeking the Way’ once more, as the mysterious knowledge further reconstructed his brain structure.
"To slay the old days, slay the old self first!"
Shawn closed his eyes and murmured, "Isn’t this the Daoist concept of slaying the three corpses?"
"Although the World’s Law is different."
"But this is undoubtedly very close to this concept, and the twisted sequence power will give birth to another mad potential self-awareness."
"Before proving the Path of Destiny, he must be slain first!"
Did the Lady of the House slay her old self back then?
If she didn’t succeed, why was she so strong! Fighting against so many Death Pilgrims alone?
If she succeeded, why did she finally lose control?
The Destiny Legendaries are strong conceptual beings; if she succeeded, it would take a Demigod Level existence to easily suppress her!
In that battle, the Lady of the House did not prove the Path of Destiny, she merely devoured her own shadow.
It’s a pity that Shawn’s previous life didn’t delve much into everything about Daoism, but after understanding the twisted sequence Law in this way, he knew what he had to do next.
"After completing the Path of Destiny on the Shadow Path, the shadow will become another body of itself."
"After the Knowledge Path turns the Law, knowledge should also become a tool of itself!... I have actually completed part of ’Slay Me’!... Is that why the mysterious knowledge is undergoing a change now?..."
If all this is understood in terms of the Daoist ’slaying the three corpses’, then this is just the first corpse testing the Path of Destiny, what must be severed in the subsequent Dao Path?
Shawn painstakingly recalled memories of his past life, found some knowledge about the three corpses through fragments of memory, and it was while reading novels that he had flipped through them; unexpectedly, there was still a trace of information left deep in his memory, and it seemed he was deeply impressed by these understandings when reading at that time.
"The Upper Corpse Worm is named Peng You, it resides in the human head, causing ignorance and stupidity, lack of wisdom.
The Middle Corpse Worm is named Peng Zhi, it resides in the human chest, causing irritation and delusion, unable to remain calm.
The Lower Corpse Worm is named Peng Jiao, it resides in the human abdomen, causing greed for sensual pleasures and food."
Shawn browsed through his past memories.
"No, the Bizarre Realm after all is not the Cultivation World, can’t rigidly apply it, must learn to apply it flexibly... Practice is the only truth!..."
"If when I seek the Way, I truly completed ’Slay Me’."
"Then it should be slaying the mad self, the blindly ignorant self, and all of these are side effects caused by the Bizarre Realm’s World Law assimilating me!"
"From the moment the mysterious knowledge entered my brain!"
"The blindly ignorant and mad potential self has already entered my body."
"So it wasn’t until asking the humans’ sages of generations that I truly woke up and finally rid myself of the Bizarre Realm’s World Law influence."
This is a goddamn world!
If Shawn’s reasoning holds true, then at the moment of his ascension to become a Transcendent, the essence of blindness and madness had already entered his being.
Transcendents have always been obsessed with suppressing mad pollution, but suppression is useless; ultimately, it still needs to be severed!
The Extraordinary Essence is also alive, also conscious.
Transcendents are digesting them, and they are also digesting the Transcendents, in this process, the potential mad self is already forming.
However, it is only when approaching Legendary strength that this kind of mad potential self will manifest.
So after Shawn ascended to a certain level, the mysterious knowledge began to ’speak’!
At first, the mysterious knowledge only had emotions, then it began to speak, next, it started influencing the self, and finally, it would try to replace Shawn, existing as another mad Shawn in the Bizarre Realm.
"Is this the Extraordinary Essence possessing me?!"
A force of Knowledge Law Power surged in Shawn’s brain.
——"Knowledge [Extraordinary Domain]: Further reconstructs one’s brain structure, greatly enhances one’s Magic Power limit, after Knowledge Law turns, one doesn’t need rest, and can slowly acquire the essence of Magic Power from the world. Strengthens all Spell Abilities related to knowledge concepts, these spells’ power, saving throws, penetration, etc., are additionally increased by 4 Extraordinary Levels."
