149: Chapter 143: The Path of Ascension 149: Chapter 143: The Path of Ascension Luo Di was originally considering what preparations to make in the last week before heading to the assembly, but now there’s no need to think about it—that ti will most likely be spent in the Punishnt Room.
The two of them were still suspended in midair, engaged in daily conversation.
Mr.
Hook started with a question, “What do you think is the prerequisite for Consciousness Projection into the True Hell?”
“Hell Symbol?”
Fingers with Hooks instead of nails swaying back and forth, “No, no.
While the symbol is a necessary condition, it is not the most important one.
The reason you are able to project your consciousness into True Hell and the reason you can clearly rember such complex symbols is because of yourself…
it is because you are so well-suited for this place that True Hell seeks you out because of the symbol.
The reason you can project your consciousness to the battlefield in advance is probably related to your early Open Spine, and the rapid feeding of your spine in a short period of ti.
You have been constantly fighting to the death during this ti, right?
You’ve even been contemplating matters related to fighting and battling in your sleep, haven’t you?”
“Pretty much.”
“That’s right, it is the deep desire for slaughter and war within your consciousness that has triggered the symbol within the depths of your brain, projecting your consciousness there.
Luckily, it was just an experience ticket.
If you were really sent to the battlefield now, you’d quickly et a tragic end.”
“How do I control it?
I can’t even be aware of it on my own; my consciousness gets projected there involuntarily.”
“It’s simple!
Since ‘Suffering’ has already beco your secondary system, use it to balance out.
Suppose you just finished a life-and-death duel, and your subconscious is still imrsed in that sort of slaughter.
If you feel embarrassed to torture yourself in public, find a room quickly.
Use the left arm I gave you to construct torture devices.
For example, form a barbed iron whip to thrash yourself madly,
Or hang Hooks all over your body and pull in different directions,
Or heat up iron rods and stuff them into the holes of your body,
In any case, you see to it yourself.
When the pain reaches your limit, your brain, even your soul, will be emptied of everything, and in that mont, you will be completely calm, without a single impurity in your thoughts.
In the next few days, you’ll learn so basic stuff with , to strengthen the tal hidden in your Spine, and strive to catch up with the spine’s growth rate.
That way, you can experience pain more deeply, understand the chanics of it, and then use it to balance your longing for slaughter.”
Having the guidance of Mr.
Hook, no matter how painful, was seen as a good thing by Luo Di.
Or rather, as long as he could beco stronger, as long as he could co closer to his true inner image of a Murderer, he didn’t care about anything else.
He nodded in agreent, but there was one more thing before starting the lessons.
“Okay, it’s just that I have one more question.
The reason I was originally able to co to the Punishnt Room is mainly due to the high architectural similarity between the Fifth Hospital where my real body is and the Punishnt Room.
The various patients in the hospital correspond to the convicts here,
And the old Dean of the hospital corresponds to Mr.
Hook,
Whenever I talk to you in the Punishnt Room, the real would unconsciously go to the Dean’s office.
I initially thought this was just a parallel manifestation between reality and Consciousness Projection, only affecting .
But lately, I’ve noticed that the Dean seems different, and even tal Hooks have appeared on him.
Does this have anything to do with you?”
Mr.
Hook, who has always been skilled at clarifying doubts, revealed a mysterious smile this ti and slowly spread his arms.
“The influence of all things is always mutual,
Since you are in contact with Hell, Hell can naturally touch you and everything around you.
If you were in contact with a Spine on the sa level as , your nursing ho should have already experienced major turmoil, with walls painted in blood in the form of Hell graffiti.
It might even have started a spatial transformation; the so-called Fifth Hospital will beco a space stronghold, and in no ti, a vast army will descend upon your world.
But , I don’t like to complicate things too much.
I am rely taking this opportunity to peek into your world for a mont, to take a look at those so-called movies you talked about last ti.
Regarding that old Dean, indeed, there are substantial similarities to .
I fear that no world could be found whose space matches and the Punishnt Room so well.
He is an important dium for to peer into your world.
Not only will he not die, but he will also live a long life.
His self-consciousness will remain intact.
If you have any other questions, ask them quickly~ in a mont, you’ll be in so much pain you won’t be able to utter a single word.”
For a mont, things opened up a bit.
Since Mr.
Hook didn’t recomnd asking questions, Luo Di decided to speak out about all the questions that had been pressing on his mind.
After all, the sights of the Hell Battlefield are like the paintings of a famous artist, lingering in the mind and proving unforgettable.
“True Hell, every life there seems to have a path of evolution, or a way of ascension, right?
The beings I saw on the battlefield varied in strength, so so fearso that a re glance could inspire intense dread.
My projected self seed more like a pawn sent to fill the ranks of the battle.”
“That is inevitable.
A world without paths of ascension is dood to be the lowest tier, destined to be just food for other worlds.
Based on my observations so far, the essence of your world should be a bottom-tier world without paths of ascension.
Humans can only engage in scientific research within their limited and short lifespans, which has produced so interesting things, but ultimately, they are incredibly weak.
However, due to so intervention, your world has opened up a ‘path of ascension’.
This path might not be inherent to your world, but rather composed of so external unknowns.
This ‘Pathway’ is directly related to the pituitary I received from you and has also made your world exceedingly active, with a minority of humans being able to connect to different worlds under extre conditions.
I’m not wrong, am I?”
“No…
You’re not wrong.” Luo Di was startled, having not expected Mr.
Hook to have already discerned so much information.
Mr.
Hook’s right hand opened, revealing a pituitary that had been pierced by a hook and was cut open on the surface.
“Although I can only glimpse it, the analysis of the ‘pituitary’ over this period has revealed that your world’s ‘path of ascension’ is quite extraordinary.
Even though you are Hell’s Apostle, I personally suggest you explore both paths, as you might gain more from doing so.
After all, here in True Hell, especially among those Spines who are never short of people, the internal competition is fierce.
To stand out, you need different things, even if your Spine Type is already uncommon.
The more unique you are, the better.
The way you’ve embedded the pituitary in the back of your hand is rely an external use; it doesn’t count as truly stepping onto your world’s ‘path of ascension’.”
Luo Di nodded, “Yes, once I find the pituitary that is most suitable for , I will establish a connection with the Corner Depths using it through devouring or brain injection.
Currently, all our investigators access the ‘path of ascension’ in this manner, and we should be able to continue growing by heading to the deeper parts of the Corner subsequently.”
“Good, as long as you can retain your autonomous consciousness.”
Luo Di continued to inquire: “What about the ‘path of ascension’ here in Hell?
After my spine becos saturated, will I be able to sense it directly?”
“Different powers in True Hell hold different tickets to pathways, known as ‘Hell Items.’
The Hell’s Spine on your back,
The Painful tal here with ,
Or the Holy Grail Pustules possessed by the powers you faced on the battlefield,
They all count as ‘Hell Items.’
Every day, billions of lives are born in True Hell,
They are the lowest slaves, without any rights, re trash, filth, *excrent.
If this trash excels in so aspect, they might be chosen by a power; those who survive the selection process are granted ‘Hell Items.’
Just like your current self.
However, the requirents are higher for extraterritorial personnel like you since True Hell very rarely recruits from outside.
Obtaining a Hell Item ans stepping onto the ‘path of ascension.’
Once an individual has saturated different ‘Hell Items’ in various forms, they will truly rge with the Hell Items, displaying an external form that is related to the individual’s subconscious.
This is what your ‘Open Spine’ is, except you are so special that you’ve expressed it prematurely without full saturation.
Different powers have different nas for such a transformation; our Order calls it ‘Demonstration of Sin.’
The next stage will be a bit more challenging; it’s not just about feeding, but you need to go to True Hell yourself to find the ‘Gate of Demon Ascension’ that suits you the best.”
“I strongly advise you to pursue the ‘paths of ascension’ in both worlds simultaneously, taking advantage of your natural benefits as an Outer Realm Apostle.”
“Alright.”
“Then let’s not waste more words, there’s not much ti!
In order to ensure your growth through Suffering isn’t left behind, even your sleeping hours must be put to use in these coming days.”
Mr.
Hook cared greatly about Luo Di’s growth through Suffering and couldn’t wait to properly train him.
