Volume 9: Star Cave Chapter 169 I go my own way, my name is Lu Bai!
The soul is the influence of the real dimension, driving certain special existences within the dimensional membrane to produce special things.
The soul in its most primitive form naturally possesses powerful strength.
In essence, all actions are actually driven by this driving force within the soul, resulting in various reactions from the soul.
In other words, if any soul does not have an origin and driving force, then it is just an "object" without any thoughts or actions.
It is because of the driving force that we can truly move.
Therefore, everything in the life soul is controlled by the driving force, like a puppet, and never has freedom.
Just like a toy car, which moves when pushed by the hand, children may not be gentle with the car and may grab the car and let it drift and drive in various places just for fun.
However, once the child lets go, the car will no longer have any meaning, because it is just a toy car and it cannot move by itself.
Most people in the world seem to be independent, but in essence they are all like immobile toy cars that need something to push them to move forward.
But there are still some ways to escape from this situation.
"After all, at the Sun level, there is no requirement to completely control one's soul. All that is needed is integration." Lu Bai knew this clearly.
However, to go further, you need to actually create something.
Those individuals who rely on the real dimension need to gain recognition from the real dimension in order to have a certain "original" control. Such individuals correspond to challengers, and different real dimensions have different names, so everyone is accustomed to calling them challengers.
This original control power is actually similar to the current driving force of the God of Thousand Dimensions. In name, the highest authority belongs to the real dimension, but one can control it to a certain extent.
In other words, if there were no other driving forces in his soul, Lu Bai could even rely on the driving force of the God of Thousand Dimensions to reach the Challenger level to a certain extent.
Of course, this is the treatment that Lu Baicai enjoys, because Lu Bai’s cognition is sufficient.
Others may have to wait until the resonance rate reaches 100% before they can gradually gain the corresponding perspective and truly utilize that driving force.
The convenience provided by the Thousand-Dimensional God is simply that He himself does not become an obstacle.
Relatively speaking, it is much easier for a Traveler to advance from the Day level to the Challenger level.
"Could it be that the one who breaks the rules is the challenger?" Lu Bai frowned. It seemed that this was possible.
With control over the driving force, he no longer needed the Traveler System provided by the God of Thousand Dimensions to manipulate the power, thereby destroying the five skill bars given by the God of Thousand Dimensions.
Therefore, it seems quite normal that travelers at the Challenger level are called Breakers.
But Lu Bai felt something was not right.
First of all, Yunhe, according to Lu Bai's current perspective, she has not really reached the level of a challenger. She should still be a little short of it, but she is a relatively strong individual among the exceptions.
That's not quite right.
Therefore, those who break the rules are still just relatively special day-level ones.
However, this does not mean that the exceptionrs are not important. After all, only the exceptionrs can obtain the real power of the Traveler System.
Without thinking about this anymore, Lu Bai turned his thoughts back to the third path he wanted to take.
After reaching the Day level, one must either be recognized by the real dimension and gain original control, or rebel against the real dimension and thus go against the opponent's driving force, control this force, and eliminate the mark of the real dimension inside.
Therefore, compared with the previous type, there are very few truly rebellious challengers.
Most challengers have two or more original primaries.
They need to play both sides, use the opponent's force to counter the opponent's force, go through thousands of risks, and get infinitely close to real death, so that they can reduce the original in their souls to a certain level, and then give birth to a miraculous power from it, suppress the original, and finally gain the initiative.
At this point, a true challenger was born.
Of course, there are other ways. For example, an individual with original control power can suddenly rebel while hiding his thoughts from the real dimension behind him, and use his lower authority to launch a self-destructive attack, thereby undermining the real dimension's control over him.
However, this type of difficulty is much greater than the previous one, and there are very few successful individuals.
But, it is not uncommon, Lu Bai met such an individual - Dongshan Shi.
Lu Bai got inspiration from the other party.
That is the self itself, which is not powerless.
When the origin is weakened to a certain extent, the self has the possibility to reverse the Tiangang.
"When you reach the Sun level, because of the integration of the soul, you will have the ability to use cognition to promote the dimensional membrane mechanism and derive dimensions."
"But if there is no special treasure as a price, even the Sun-level will need to sacrifice their soul to form the creation core."
"In other words, at this time, the Sun-level individual actually already has the "driving force". Even if it is weak, it is still a driving force."
"It has gone from being an ordinary toy car to an electric car that can start on its own."
However, this driving force is too weak, and there are mountains and obstacles all around, so this weak driving force is so weak that it cannot even find a new direction for development. Therefore, it can only rely on the real dimension and enter the same field.
Because of this, the real dimension cannot allow anyone to challenge its status, so it chooses to suppress it.
Therefore, whether it is submission or rebellion, the driving force of the self has not actually developed, and the challenger is still borrowing the power of the real dimension.
If it is translated into the terminology of cultivation, it is the avenue of the real dimension.
Nowadays, any living being is dependent on the Great Dao. Even if one reaches the Sun Level, they do not have the ability to survive away from the Great Dao.
In order to survive and even go further, one must rely on or rebel against the forces that fight for the great road.
Lu Bai’s third path is to not follow the main road.
Whether it is the Netherworld or other avenues, they have shown great favor to Lu Bai, but Lu Bai is still not prepared to live under someone else's roof.
"Whether it's a side path or a shortcut, I will try my best to eliminate the original and driving force in my soul starting from the day level!" This is Lu Bai's plan.
And from the very beginning, when Lu Bai intervened in the real-dimensional battle on the second level of the Star Cave, he was prepared to cut off all the original and driving forces in his soul.
In the end, you will no longer take the main road, but your own path.
This may lead to unclear development prospects, and one may be "locked" where he is, or even become a vegetable.
But you don’t have to be helpless anymore.
As for how far you can go in the end, it all depends on yourself.
"If it really doesn't work, I still have the identity of the Crown Prince of the Netherworld. With this identity, I can also draw on the power of the Netherworld." This is the confidence.
It has to be said that without this confidence, Lu Bai himself would not know whether he would have the courage to embark on this road with no future in sight.
Moreover, this path is not so easy to walk on. Once you take the wrong path, you may very likely touch the areas of other real dimensions and be eliminated as a challenger.
As for this kind of erasure, those who walk alone on the small path need to bear all the risks themselves.
The identity of the Crown Prince of the Underworld can continuously provide "vision", allowing Lu Bai to avoid going wrong on the path he takes as much as possible.
This path is probably not unprecedented or unparalleled.
After all, there is the God of Thousand Dimensions ahead. He can step down from the position of Lord of the Underworld and still maintain a close relationship with the Underworld.
This means that He did not split the underworld like the filthy land, and it also means that His origin was not the underworld, but that He himself has become a great way.
Maybe the starting point is different, but the God of Thousand Dimensions is indeed like Lu Bai at this moment, developing his own path while serving as the Lord of the Underworld.
"Under normal circumstances, I, who am not even at the Sun level, would definitely not be able to shake the original driving force in my soul and allow the self to have the possibility of sprouting."
"But fortunately, I am not in a normal situation." Lu Bai had at least taken on the possibility of Zizai Tian. Although it had been lost, there were still some remnants.
First of all, the residual characteristics of Zizaitian turned Lu Bai's soul box into a desire structure. This is the direction. It is not developing towards Zizaitian, but using this point to go to areas that are not controlled by other real dimensions.
Secondly, the God of Thousand Dimensions did not become an obstacle, but instead bestowed original control on all travelers. When their cognition reached a certain level, they could use His driving force, which was the basic power.
Then, there is Lu Bai’s own elevated perspective after being involved in the real-dimensional war. This is execution.
Finally...
"My everything!!!"
Lu Bai suddenly activated the driving force of the Thousand-Dimensional God to fight against Jinglin and the Abyss.
With direction, strength and execution, then boldly move forward according to your own desires!
At this time, Lu Bai's fifth skill, the personal symbolic mark radiated brilliance, and then condensed into a mark, driven by Lu Bai's own power of desire, inner strength, the power of the moon phase seal, the power of the great red dragon and other forces.
The mark of Lu Bai, who rebelled against everything, hit his own soul in return.
In the soul, sparkle!
The imprint is a mark that the owner puts on his own things to determine their ownership and location.
This mark symbolizes Lu Bai, so my soul should naturally be marked with this mark as well.
It is not the soul that dominates me, but I, Lu Bai, dominate the soul!
The power of the Thousand-Dimensional God provoked the changes in Jinglin's Henghe Abyss, and the conflict continued to expand.
The power of the underworld sat firmly within, steadying Lu Bai's soul.
At the same time, Lu Bai's mark was also sent into the soul box.
Like a driving force, it took advantage of the conflict between Jinglin and the abyss to occupy a corner of the soul.
It was just a corner, but it made Lu Bai's soul vibrate, and a feeling of emotion blossomed from it.
His soul has its own mark. It seems to be extremely ironic and ridiculous, but it is something that Lu Bai successfully accomplished with the efforts of many parties.
As this mark emerged, Lu Bai's resonance rate suddenly increased to 91%.
The soul should be controlled by oneself.
