Volu 6 Chapter 5: The world spirit
ng 37 was feeling extrely frustrated, unable to understand what kind of grudge he had made that the mastermind behind the scenes had to ruin him to this degree.
However, everything will be better now, all of my efforts will pay off.
Looking down on the unconscious adult man in the middle of the dimly lit cave, ng 37 grinned.
While being pursued by the Warriors of the tribe, he accidentally fell into a swamp, in which he discovered a secret cave. The entire secret cave was filled with a kind of poisonous gas that would unknowingly cause people to hallucinate.
Using the beast tooth, ng 37 managed to fend off this effect and discovered a secret technique within the secret room that would allow him to deprive the Totems of others, allowing even soone without a Totem to beco a Warrior.
Afterwards, ng 37 used this sa hallucinatory gas to restrain the Warrior who ca in pursuit of him.
And now, all he needed to do was deprive this man’s Totem to beco a Warrior, at which point he would be able to leave this place and head to other tribes, gaining at least a decent status.
After a bit of hesitation, ng 37 removed the man’s clothes and exposed his back.
ng 37 had collected a lot of knowledge regarding Totems in preparation for himself, so he had a level of understanding towards the Totems.
A so-called Totem was actually the scenery inside the Ancestral Wild, the residence of God. By borrowing the ritual of the Shaman, they would be able to briefly witness the Ancestral Wild.
It was naturally impossible for a Desolate to rember the entirety of the Ancestral Wild, but they only needed to commit a little bit of it to mind in order to turn that portion into their Totem, after which the Totem would beco the connection between that Desolate and the Ancestral Wild.
Through their Totem, a Desolate would then be able to borrow the power from the Ancestral Wild.
Furthermore, as they continued to provide offerings to their Totem, they’d be able to stimulate its growth. So even said that if soone managed to completely describe the complete Ancestral Wild, they’d be able to enter it and obtain eternal life.
But in reality, none of the Grand Shamans in the history of the ng tribe had ever been able to reach that level, even the number of Grand Shamans they had ever had in history could be counted on one hand, they could only be considered a mid-level tribe.
The majority of Warriors’ Totems were on their backs, as this was a part of the Desolate’s culture. As they were lifeforms that originated as Vitality Root Fetuses, according to their legends, when the very first Vitality Root Fetus grew into the very first Desolate, there wasn’t anyone to perform Wild Release on him, so he had to break his back in order to be born. Later on, in order to fix his back, he had replaced it with the scenery of the Ancestral Wild.
This myth might just be figurative, or it might be true, but in any case, the majority of Desolates had made sure to put their Totems on their backs.
“I was frad, I don’t want to die, so I’m not in the wrong” ng 37 looked down at the person in front of him and said.
Perhaps they had t in the tribe once before, or perhaps not, since the ng tribe consisted of at least several ten thousand people as a mid-level tribe. ng 37 rely felt like he had to say sothing since this person was about to beco his stepping stone.
“The one in the wrong was the one who frad , and you who didn’t try to investigate the truth!”
After making this declaration, ng 37 completely made up his mind. He grabbed the man’s hair tightly and dug out the man’s eyes with his bare hands, then scored the man’s back with the tal sword. He dug out a hole to bury one eye, then clenched his teeth and swallowed the other eye whole, symbolizing ‘I will see the world in your place’.
Finishing his preparations, ng 37 took out the antidote he had prepared to wake the unconscious man up. Ignoring his cries and screams, ng 37 proceeded to torture him to force him to use his Totem, after which ng 37 ripped the skin off the man’s back and stuck it on his face.
As the man’s screams slowly subsided, ng 37 could sense himself entering a sort of strange state. The sll of fresh blood filled his nose together with a strange taste in his mouth that wouldn’t go away no matter what. Since he had to keep his eyes open wide during the ritual, ng 37 felt his vision becoming blurry.
As ti went by, sothing seed to have appeared in front of ng 37, he was able to sense sothing moving around him, exuding a bone-chilling sensation that caused him to shiver.
He could sense the other party facing him, the distance between them was even shorter than a finger, even the other party’s breath could be felt lightly blowing up against the skin on his face.
…
Outside of the cave, Killer J smirked. He had originally wanted to try and interfere with or ruin the opportunity that ng 37 had obtained, but the world spirit had already prepared asures against this. An Ancestral Spirit was currently inside that cave, which was a part of the world’s operation.
In reality, if it was possible, the world spirit might have already sent even more Ancestral Spirits out to kill Negary’s subordinates, but this wasn’t realistic. When Negary’s information flowed into this world, his will had already infiltrated the world itself.
At the mont, he had no choice but to stay secluded within the small aspect of gloom, but as soon as this world’s spirit lost its qualifications, Negary could easily compete for its position.
This was because when Negary spread his information into this world during transmigration, his will had actually infected the world spirit itself, turning it into a Jekyll and Hyde situation. At the mont, even without the world virus, Negary would still be able to infect a world.
This was why Negary had declared earlier that if this world’s spirit didn’t do its job well enough, he would take over and turn the world spirit into a part of himself.
After Killer J transmigrated into this world, he had used the [Heroic Spirit Trial] that Negary created to ‘register’ himself as a resident of this world. If they were a normal person, becoming a resident would only let the world spirit control them easier, but as Killer J was in the process of manifesting his Pathway, not to ntion Negary’s will helping him in the background, forcefully acting against Killer J would only result in more severe consequences.
As long as Killer J was still treating the [Protagonist] in a normal manner, the world spirit would not be able to break its own rules.
Part of the reason for this was because the Desolate Sacrifice world’s spirit was systematic. It wouldn’t be until a world spirit beca personified would it be able to flexibly utilize the authorities in its hands.
Of course, there was also a shortcoming for a personified world spirit, which was turning its operation of the world subjective. While its actions would beco a lot more flexible, it wouldn’t be able to control the world as thoroughly as before, opening the possibility of the world’s authorities being forcefully taken over by others.
This was the case for the Moon Tree world, as each of the three elven Lord Gods had taken over a portion of the world’s authorities for themselves, not to ntion how the Seven Gods had completely stripped almost all of its authorities away and turned the will of the Moon Tree into a cattle to be raised.
If the world spirit at the ti wasn’t personified, this would have been impossible, as the world spirit’s consciousness would fuse completely with the world’s authorities. The inability to violate the rules went hand-in-hand with complete control over the principles that governed those rules.
Or perhaps, it was because they were completely fused with the world’s authorities and rules that they had to perfectly adhere to them. It could be said that Negary had been fortunate, borrowing the imnse power created from the collision of two worlds in order to successfully infect this world.
“Kekeke” Killer J chuckled with an irritating voice. He had always been fond of the appearance of others as they wanted to kill him thousands of tis over without actually being able to do anything about him; in fact, he was currently collecting hostility from the world spirit to use later.
“Don’t tell I’m actually stimulating the world spirit to beco personified? If that’s the case, I’d be overfulfilling my duties. Seems like I’ll be getting a promotion to beco… wait a minute, the only position that’s higher than right now is the boss himself”
Killer J hurriedly cleared his throat, then rapidly praised Negary in his mind while patting his little heart in relief.
