Li Aozi stared at the other party. He knew that this old lady had signed a special contract and had to keep every promise and identity. So he boldly asked,
"Does this have anything to do with taking over soone else’s body?"
"No, that’s not soone else’s body."
The old lady gazed at Li Aozi:
"All of it is yours. Your destiny has long been decided, like a protagonist in a popular novel, an unseen hand, a fallen and decadent ’writer’ is manipulating and playing with your fate—your destiny is being outlined by soone else."
"You an to say, I am essentially the protagonist of a book?"
"It’s just a taphor. You might not be the protagonist, and it might not even be a book. It could just be a fleeting thought," the old lady said, "but your life trajectory—what I see through the Spirit Realm—is a mysterious straight line. Soone has arranged everything for you."
"I don’t care what you say."
Li Aozi felt uneasy,
"There is sothing in my consciousness that is hinting to . Can you help figure it out?"
The old lady looked at him and said,
"It will be fatal."
"Why?!" Li Aozi was puzzled, "If it’s the brain, I can just change it. Can that thing destroy my consciousness?"
"Yes."
The old lady replied succinctly,
"If you dare to do that, you will be killing yourself."
"Why is that?"
"I told you, this is you. All of it is you."
The old lady pointed to her head and said,
"You, Li Aozi, Leoz, Li Zi, all of it is you."
"Leoz? I’ve never possessed Leoz’s body!"
Li Aozi was stunned and didn’t think much. He asked,
"What should I do? Although there’s no problem now, what about in the future?"
The old lady shook her head, "I don’t know."
"Can you solve it for ...Grandma?"
Li Aozi found the problem increasingly troubleso,
"Is there no way to prevent it from affecting my thoughts? If this continues, I’ll definitely be driven mad and be swallowed by Society!"
"In this aspect, you might need to find soone more capable."
"Damn it!"
Li Aozi almost sat up,
"Atamash Coffin, you are the greatest ntal ntor in the Layer Abyss. If even you can’t do it, where else can I find help!"
"You."
Atamash Coffin slowly stood up and took a bottle of dicine from a cabinet behind her and placed it in front of Li Aozi.
"What is this?"
"Charlgarnia’s Truth Drug."
Atamash said,
"She was a deity of the Dominating Universe. Although her reputation wasn’t great, she did resist Society. However, with the fall of Morphederia, Chief God of the Dominating Universe, Charlgarnia also vanished."
"The Truth Drug is a replica. Its effect is only one-third of the original. The ingredients are gloom butterfly, eye of the dead moon, and bone powder of a Moris wolf. You are a craftsman yourself; you can synthesize it."
Li Aozi picked up the bottle and poured out a pill. The pale yellow tablet, about the size of a fingernail, emitted a strange sll of rusty brass, which he found sowhat repulsive.
"Can it cure ?"
He was skeptical.
Even though the person in front of him was the most mysterious ntal ntor of the entire Layer Abyss, also a top ntor in the Mysterious system.
"No, no one can cure you. It’s like a volcano; its existence is not wrong. It’s the disaster caused by the eruption that brings extre panic—isn’t that what you’re afraid of?"
Atamash slowly sat down,
"It can’t save you, but it can help you release pressure—allow the anxious and indifferent part of your consciousness to make certain judgnts in so situations, thus gradually wearing down that part of the spirit. You won’t be affected at all."
Li Aozi stared at the pill and then looked at Atamash pleadingly,
"Can’t I save myself?"
"Child, this isn’t salvation; it’s growth."
Atamash coldly said,
"You have to understand, no matter what wrong you’ve done, no matter how miserable you were beaten like a dog, you are still you. Those are all you. You have benefited from the past, so you must bear the historical responsibility—you must face this fact."
"Will there be side effects?"
"If you an the drug harming your spirit and body, affecting your endocrine system—I can assure you, no. Charlgarnia was a talented Goddess. Her drugs are flawless."
Atamash shook her head,
"However, I have to remind you. The smarter your mind is, the deeper the influence of that presence in your consciousness. It’s not a bad thing; you should reconcile with yourself. If you want to truly ’save’ yourself... then I suggest you keep walking the path you’re on."
"Alright... can you find out who implanted the ntal suggestion in ?" Li Aozi spread his hands, "Is that acceptable?"
"Pialinus. He also has a sowhat famous title."
Atamash calmly said,
"—Prival Heavenly Sovereign."
Li Aozi’s pupils contracted.
"Indeed... it was the problem with the Spirit Monster when I arrived."
"Pialinus has always been coveting the pathway of the Sovereign system. For many years, he’s been trying to find one of the Destroyers, the Eye of Discernnt, to eliminate it and avenge himself. And since there is no Chief God in the Sovereign system, as long as he supports one..."
"It goes without saying, he will directly have an army of God Embracers from the Main God Hall—a force that can stand against Society and the three major Destroyers." Li Aozi understood her aning.
"Has Prival Heavenly Sovereign supported others?"
"Don’t be nervous, plenty of people. You’re not the only victim."
Atamash spoke slowly,
"If you want to solve this problem, you can only rely on yourself to grow stronger. As long as you beco stronger, any problem is not a problem."
Easy to say, but damn it, that is the Prival Heavenly Sovereign!
Li Aozi didn’t say it outright,
Atamash Coffin herself was a figure close to deities, and many players suspected that she had actually been at the Oga Tier. Due to so accidents, her power and rank had significantly declined, leading her to retire.
If her advice was like this, then others, especially those at the sa tier as her, wouldn’t have much different suggestions.
"...Better than nothing."
Li Aozi suddenly laughed.
He used to mock Yawen for being too insecure, but now he was almost suffering from schizophrenia.
Luckily he strengthened his mind power; otherwise, who knows how long he’d be kept in the dark.
Next, he had to continue enhancing his ntal resilience.
—Advance to Bishop.
This idea sparked in his mind imdiately.
The Bishop had a passive skill: Sleepless Heart, reducing ntal attack effects by 60%.
This was the best way.
Atamash’s suggestion was actually quite simple:
Ink drops in a bottle of water count as pollution.
Ink drops in the ocean are insignificant.
Raising ntal resilience and regularly releasing subconscious pressure allowed him to ignore these minor issues.
But Li Aozi did not want to just let it go.
The Prival Heavenly Sovereign wanted to control his fate, have him beco the Chief God of the Sovereign pathway, and then join forces to find the Destroyer—Eye of Discernnt, whose status was unknown.
Although the process was good, both the beginning and end were undesirable.
The Destroyer was one of the top combat forces, simply impossible to contend with a few Chief Gods. And it might already be dead, its body completely decayed.
Li Aozi did not want to be constrained like this. From what he knew about the Starry Abyss, very few in history had managed to contend with the Destroyers.
The Prival Heavenly Sovereign wanted to drag him to death—not a chance!
"However far you want to walk, I’ll walk!"
Li Aozi directly swallowed a pill.
