Instance.
Scene transformation.
It was night, and only moonlight filtered through the window, providing a faint glow to the dim room.
Liens sat cross-legged on the bed, pondering the idea that had suddenly co to him in the dining hall.
This idea was nad—Harmonizing with the True Path.
As an Extraordinary One progressing towards the Master-level, Liens naturally had his own True Path, which was his chosen connection for communicating with heaven and earth.
His True Path was—dium, or it could be called "Montum."
He had comprehended it during that snowy day.
From then on, whether it was elents or heaven and earth, to him, they were rely extensions of his own will, diums for expressing his thoughts, Montum that could be influenced.
In his view, the so-called Master-level was about continuously increasing his Montum allowing the small heaven and earth he could influence to constantly expand. Once it reached a certain degree, he would step into the Grandmaster Realm.
He nad this process—Assimilation of Heaven and Earth.
Of course, the above was his understanding based on his own True Path.
Everyone's experiences and insights differ, leading to different perceptions of the world. And reaching the Master-level, it's naturally difficult for identical Master True Path paths to exist.
He naturally didn't know what the situation was like for other Masters.
As for himself, the reminder he received from Nimophila in the dining hall, besides making him realize that the power affecting Atel's body might be so kind of divinity…
More importantly, he discovered a commonality between its actions and his own Master True Path—assimilation.
That power was assimilating soone into its subordinate, while his "assimilation" was assimilating heaven and earth, transforming heaven and earth into Montum that he could influence.
This wasn't to say his Montum was stronger than that power; on the contrary, he was pitifully weak.
Because that power, which might be divine or equivalent to divinity, could potentially cover the entire world.
He didn't know how "divinity" was defined in this world, but in web novels from his previous life, "divinity" was often described as the embodint of the world's rule power.
So, making a bold guess, that power was a type of rule power, and it was very likely related to desire.
However, this wasn't his main focus.
The key was that he got an idea from Atel; perhaps he too could beco soone like Atel.
Of course, this wasn't to say he wanted to guide that power to act upon himself, thereby transforming himself into a Succubus.
Instead, he wanted to beco a "spokesperson."
From a certain perspective, if Atel were transford into a Succubus, it would an she had beco a "spokesperson" for that rule power, able to use its related abilities.
So, he ca up with a bold idea.
He had already established a connection with heaven and earth; to so extent, it was very similar to the connection Atel established with that rule power, but one was active, the other passive.
Therefore, could he abandon assimilating heaven and earth and instead let heaven and earth assimilate him, allowing himself to beco a "spokesperson" for heaven and earth?
This was also why he called this idea "Harmonizing with the True Path."
If he succeeded, he would beco an existence similar to Primordials in prehistoric novels. Wouldn't that be Harmonizing with the True Path?
Such a heaven-defying idea, achieving success in one step, had to be attempted no matter what.
Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Liens, following his preconceived idea, used the connection he had established with heaven and earth to fully integrate his mind and will into the vastness of heaven and earth.
If it were the real world, he might have worried about the consequences of doing so, but this was a Instance , so, just go for it.
At first, although he extended his mind and will through his connection with heaven and earth, the effect achieved was no different from his assimilation of heaven and earth; it wasn't the Harmonizing with the True Path he had envisioned.
Although the speed of assimilating heaven and earth through this thod would be faster.
However, the consumption of ntal energy was too great, and ntal energy was extrely difficult to restore, and weakened ntal energy had a huge negative impact on one's own existence.
Therefore, in reality, he could not quickly beco a Master-level through this thod.
"Another useless result."
In the white space, Liens murmured softly.
In the previous Instance, he had completely exhausted his ntal energy, which led to his direct return to the white space… He didn't know if he had died or lost consciousness.
Without discouragent, Liens started a new Instance again, making new attempts.
It was just one failure… If he didn't fail dozens or hundreds of tis, he wouldn't even think of giving up. If he succeeded once, he would instead worry about the result being problematic.
And so, Liens continuously attempted "Harmonizing with the True Path" in the Instances.
Sotis dozens of seconds, sotis a few minutes… He returned to the white space again and again, starting new Instances again and again.
He didn't know how many tis this back and forth had gone on?
Gradually, his efficiency in assimilating heaven and earth beca faster and faster, and the level he could perceive beca deeper and deeper before his ntal energy was exhausted.
From the perspective of his mind, heaven and earth beca increasingly vast and crowded in his eyes, with countless pieces of information flashing before him.
There were light signals, human emotions, elental changes, material compositions…
Finally, heaven and earth beca clear.
"Hmm? I'm back… Did I succeed?"
Liens was stunned for a mont before realizing he had returned to the white space.
That instant, an almost infinite stream of information almost directly overwheld his cognition.
If he hadn't been stunned and lost consciousness, returning to the white space, at the very beginning of the Scour, he might not have had a future.
"It seems that I, in the Instance am not truly invincible. That kind of direct attack on cognition still has the potential to 'kill' ."
"Should I continue?"
This chapter was first seen on *.
Liens hesitated for a mont, then started the next Instance.
Give up? Impossible.
He had finally seen progress, seen the hope of success. How could he just give up like that? Only by striving forward can one stand tall in this world.
…
"Knock, knock, knock!"
At night, a knock on the door sounded.
Liens stood in front of Atel's room door, quietly waiting for a response from inside.
He was here to resolve the curse on Atel, as compensation for her serving as his test subject in the Instance.
After thousands of Instances, from noon directly into the deep night, he finally completed "Harmonizing with the True Path."
Although this "Harmonizing with the True Path" was not exactly what he had envisioned, he had, in a sense, indeed beco a "spokesperson" for heaven and earth.
However, this could only last for a few minutes at most each ti, and the consumption was still very high.
"Hmm?"
"Atel couldn't bear the curse's influence anymore and started looking for soone to clear her passages?"
Liens wondered to himself.
He heard two sets of footsteps inside the room.
However, he quickly dismissed his previous thought, because he was very familiar with the other set of footsteps.
