Volume 9: Star Cave Chapter 168 The Third Way
Consciousness gradually sank into the soul, and with his breathing, Lu Bai's body began to twist from a human form into its original form - a faint light.
There are four driving forces in the soul.
The God of Quiet Forest, Abyss, Netherworld, and Thousand Dimensions.
Because of Lu Bai's power system and even life changes, the driving force of Jinglin and the Abyss is in a state of being held back.
But once Lu Bai wants to integrate his own soul, these two will become insurmountable obstacles.
The integration process will inevitably lead to changes in these two driving forces.
Lu Bai's soul box is a little special. It is not the ordinary soul power, but is composed of the power of desire.
At this time, the parts outside the soul box, such as mental power, desire, thinking, etc., were integrated as Lu Bai practiced step by step.
And because of some of Lu Bai's previous actions, he has already brought the past under control. Most of the individuals without real dimension support will not remember Lu Bai at all unless Lu Bai deliberately let them go.
In addition, with the help of the convenience of the underworld, Lu Bai had long since escaped the rules of death, and naturally no longer needed to be exploited by real life.
In this situation, Lu Bai used some of Zizai Tian's former characteristics, and his own desires were no longer controlled and exploited by the abyss.
Some time ago, his soul collapsed and died, cutting off the critical driving force. With the help of the thinking realm of those who had previously awakened but not awakened, he regulated his own thinking and prevented it from overflowing.
In this situation, Lu Bai had actually integrated a lot of the outer layer of his soul first, and was able to use some of his "soul" power freely.
This is different from the orthodox way of breaking through the day level. Orthodoxly, it is generally to use a certain original force in the soul, integrate the inner part of the soul and then organize the outer layer of the soul, so that you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
However, individuals like them who have more originality and driving force in their souls can only take this path from the outside to the inside.
With the help of a driving force, and then adding the soul power obtained from one's own integration, one can fight against the complex origin within the integrated soul.
Lu Bai has actually reached the level now where he can use the driving force of the underworld to integrate his soul at any time.
But if this is the case, most of Lu Bai’s abilities will be “suppressed”.
It was as if his life level was elevated, getting infinitely closer to the Netherworld, causing his Netherworld abilities to become exceptionally powerful, while his other abilities received no benefit.
The same is true when the soul originally leans to one side. The essence of soul power is the essence of everything.
Just like measuring elemental affinity through magic, if you have affinity for a certain element, you can practice magic of that element.
When the soul has a special inclination, it will be more "unique" than the inclination at the life level. Not only will other abilities not be blessed, they will even be suppressed to a great extent.
This is the three-step integration.
The first step is to integrate the original and driving forces within the soul box.
The second step is to integrate the exploitation of rules outside the soul and various derivative forces.
The third step is to integrate the various extraordinary powers that one possesses, making one's own power flawless and harmonious.
These three steps can be carried out simultaneously, but for most people, it is difficult to carry out the next two steps without completing the first step.
To be honest, Lu Bai did not intend to rely entirely on the Netherworld, nor did he intend to give up other powers that were not related to the Netherworld.
Lu Bai's soul was constantly changing. As he integrated the soul power obtained from the outside, it touched the origin of his soul, and suddenly Lu Bai's soul seemed to be split.
As the soul is pulled, even the thoughts and cognition seem to be mutated and split into monsters in the process.
The kind of tug that Lu Bai had experienced in the real-dimensional battle on the second level of the Star Cave once again appeared in his soul.
It's just that this time there were fewer hands pulling.
"Sure enough, even if you know the relevant knowledge, it is still extremely difficult to do it." Lu Bai endured the pain of his soul being pulled and calmly observed everything in his soul.
Compared to the original, the little soul power that he integrated through the outer layer was too weak.
Even if he were to use his other powers to penetrate deep into his soul to help, it wouldn't have much effect.
Again, the only thing that can fight against the real dimension is the real dimension.
As Lu Bai activated the driving force of the Netherworld, the pulling sensation finally subsided a lot.
“The key point is constancy and change.”
Lu Bai discovered that most real dimensions, except the Xingxiu Sea, were in a state of binary opposition.
This contradiction is basically reflected in constancy and change.
The underworld is the peace of the dead soul, which is eternal.
The filthy land is the unwillingness of the soul to die, and it belongs to change.
The quiet forest represents the eternity of life, while the green forest represents the distortion of life.
The sanctuary is constant, the critical point is change.
The cape is constant, the end of the world is changing.
The past is constant, myths are changing.
The beast herd is constant, the mechanical wheel is changeable.
Although Zizai Tian seems to be talking about freedom, it actually refers to the eternity of self-desire, while the abyss refers to the change of desire out of control.
Perhaps even the Xingxiu Sea is between constancy and change.
Because the supernatural power inside the Xingxiu Sea is very inert, but outside the Xingxiu Sea it is expanding all the time, and various cosmic phenomena are abnormally "crazy".
This is also constancy and change.
In comparison, the Xingxiu Sea is more like the Netherworld Dead Sea before it split.
Permanence and change seem to be the themes of this vast multiverse.
At this point, Lu Bai knew what the original real dimension was. It most likely symbolized change and was the beginning of everything. It was what drove the change of the dimensional membrane and gave birth to the original real dimension.
However, the initial change is not the only real dimension. Although it is the initial, at the moment when the dimensional membrane is pushed, another corresponding real dimension is born. That is the reaction force of the dimensional membrane itself, that is, its eternal existence in the dimensional membrane.
Under the binary opposition, the prelude to this great multiverse was opened, creating many real dimensions.
The real dimension can also be roughly divided into camps according to constancy and change.
However, this division is not absolute. For example, although Youming and Haijiao are in the Heng camp, the traces of confrontation they disguise on the outside will not arouse suspicion from other real dimensions.
Although Linji's previous plan on the second floor of the Star Cave had the support of the Impure Land, which was also a changing camp, all other real dimensions were opposed to it.
It is also said that although the past and myth, these two real dimensions, are in an opposing relationship of constancy and change, the two sides are not in conflict with each other. On the contrary, they have a good relationship and have always been allies.
It can be said that the real dimension itself has huge interest relations. Although it can be roughly divided into constant and variable, this is only a rough division.
This division is not very useful for dealing with the real dimension, but it is very helpful for Lu Bai to deal with the original in his soul.
"The quiet forest is constant, the abyss is changeable."
"The netherworld is eternal."
“So desire is still the breakthrough point.”
Lu Bai thought to himself.
"Use desire as a sharp knife to trigger the changes in the tranquil forest and the abyss."
"Use the tranquility of the underworld to protect the basic safety of the soul."
"Of course, the most important thing is the God of Thousand Dimensions." Lu Bai felt the driving force of the God of Thousand Dimensions in his soul, his expression a little strange.
Perhaps it was because the God of Thousand Dimensions had not yet truly ascended to the real dimension, Lu Bai was unable to sense too much of the nature of the power from it, and he was not even clear about the other party's inclination towards constancy and change.
It is precisely because of this that the driving force of the Thousand-Dimensional God appears to be particularly "pure".
If it weren't for the strong traces of the Thousand-Dimensional God on it, Lu Bai would even think that this driving force was no different from the soul power he possessed.
"Is this the traveler's path of the Thousand-Dimensional God?" Lu Bai exclaimed. At this moment, his resonance rate increased further and reached 85%.
Furthermore, this resonance rate continued to increase .
"With the driving force of the Thousand-Dimensional God, we can balance the original and driving forces in the soul to the greatest extent."
“It’s like having an extra helping hand.”
"No wonder there are so many Sun-level warriors and those who surpass the Sun-level under the command of the Thousand-Dimensional God."
In essence, the God of Thousand Dimensions is already doing charity.
Any existence that obtains His driving force is, in most cases, only driven by Him in name. In fact, when you reach a certain level, you can control and use this driving force by yourself.
It is equivalent to all kinds of help that parents provide to their children. Although those things still belong to the parents, it is you who are using them.
"This..." Lu Bai felt the driving force and thought deeply.
Is there a quality called kindness in the real dimension?
There is a high probability that there will be, as the real dimension is diverse.
Even the filthy earth that is greedy for money is kind to some beings.
Because after some people die, the Impure World gives them a second chance, allowing them to have the possibility to start over.
This is the real dimension. Even if it is an abyss, if you look at it from a different angle, you might be able to conclude that the abyss is kind.
"So, from my current perspective, the Thousand Dimensional God is the same."
"However, this kindness is not pure kindness. I think he is kind because his actions benefit me."
"But in reality, this behavior is just a step in His actions."
Just like the abyss, most demons can use the power of the abyss to invade other dimensions in the form of projection.
This is a way for the Abyss to ensure that the demon's soul is not lost and its own driving force is not wasted, but for the demon itself, this is a benefit.
The driving force of the Thousand-Dimensional God should also be the same.
It is a benefit for himself, but it also guarantees certain interests of the God of Thousand Dimensions.
To understand what the specific benefits are, we probably need to figure out what the "real dimension" that the God of Thousand Dimensions can ascend to is.
But no matter what, with the driving force of the Thousand-Dimensional God at his disposal, Lu Bai finally had some ability to fight against the original original force and truly gain the qualifications for independence.
The qualification to take the third path between joining the original and rebelling against the original!
