Volume 9: Star Cave Chapter 81: Becoming an Abyss Worm?
The body's instinct is constantly pushing Lu Bai to swallow other lives around him into his mouth.
Desire seemed to be overflowing at this moment.
Lu Bai even found that even his soul seemed no longer like himself.
It is also because of this that Lu Bai's ability to control his desires is no longer helped by his own soul, and he can only rely on his own pure will to fight against it.
"This feeling is still very strange." Lu Bai couldn't explain clearly how he felt right now.
It was like throwing one's memory and consciousness into a strange body and soul.
Although the connection with his original body and soul is still there, it seems as if everything in front of him is just a projection.
However, this feeling that everything outside of himself had been changed and countless previously tamed factors had become uncontrollable at this moment still made Lu Bai feel strange and dangerous.
For example, Lu Bai could have lived on nothing but wind and dew, and even survived without any supplement. For Lu Bai, appetite was nothing more than a desire for self-enjoyment.
However, in this new body and new soul, Lu Bai could feel his body's urgent need for food.
The state of being tortured by desires and having uncontrolled desires is very bad.
"And I'm sure that eating the eggs around me now to satisfy my appetite can be said to be a necessity for survival."
"But later, as desires are constantly satisfied by oneself, when various desires come, one may have developed the habit of being driven by desires."
"In the end, I might get lost in this ocean of desire."
The connection between Lu Bai and desire is very strange. Although his soul is made up of desires, it is extremely stable. Various desires form a fixed structure, which can ensure that Lu Bai's own thinking is in a normal state and then control these desires.
However, this new soul does not have such a structure. It is filled with desires without any valves, and is completely restrained by its own consciousness.
Lu Bai felt that this was an unprecedented test.
It can even be said that this is probably the only important event in the entire fifth level of the Star Cave, and one must rebuild one's own power characteristics within this event.
In this regard, Lu Bai is different from other Star Cave adventurers.
"Is it because I attracted some extra attention during the Three Realms War on the fourth floor?"
All we can say is that the special starting point triggered all the special encounters.
Lu Bai's identity was not normal to begin with, and he was successively affected by special factors such as the Lone Star hatchlings entering the Star Cave and the fact that the fourth level of the Star Cave was related to humans.
There must be a difference between his and other people’s normal journey to the Star Cave.
"So, this time I want to take control of my soul again!" The change in Lu Bai's soul did not actually come from himself.
He had been in the underworld for more than seventy years, allowing his soul to be in a state without the constraints of the body. He changed with the underworld while being protected by the God of Thousand Dimensions.
A variety of factors mixed together and influenced each other, which made Lu Bai's soul become what it is today.
It might not be possible for Lu Bai to transform a soul from scratch with his current consciousness.
"And I felt a deep malice." Lu Bai twisted his new body, sensing the trembling eggs around him.
Lu Bai now knows very well that even if he is not in the abyss, he is in a place that is deeply affected by the abyss.
Even if these lives that were born were not abyss demons, they were not too far off.
Now that the body has just been born, the same group of "demons" around it are about to be born.
If he could not replenish his energy quickly and upgrade his new body, then when a large number of demons were born around him, he would enter an era of great chaos .
One step slow, every step slow.
Lu Bai could feel that even if he died, it would not have much impact on his body, but this journey to the Star Cave would definitely be over.
"When did I become so afraid of desire?" After struggling for a while, Lu Bai finally reacted.
Although he seemed to be unaffected by the original vision and had always been indifferent to it, it did not mean that Lu Bai was really at ease with all this.
Everything about him was in a puppet state, and instinctively, Lu Bai was wary of these forces that were strongly influenced by other things.
In other words, I didn't have much experience before, so I was fearless.
Now Lu Bai's knowledge has reached a certain level, and he knows that every point here has a heavy price.
It is undeniable that fear of this situation appeared in Lu Bai's heart.
Being afraid is not actually a bad thing. People need to have the emotion of fear in order to understand the danger of some things so that they can face them better.
Lu Bai hadn't experienced fear for such a long time that he was a little overwhelmed at first.
But Lu Bai is Lu Bai after all. Even if it is a strange environment, a strange soul, and strange emotions, he reacted immediately.
If you want to control your own soul characteristics, you need to deeply perceive the characteristics of desire, then grasp the desire and reconstruct it into that desire soul structure.
If you are afraid of desire, afraid of the abyss behind desire, and dare not even touch it, then everything this time is actually a failure.
If he is so scared, then should he revise the Six Desires Demonic Sutra and Demonology: The Great Red Dragon as well?
Is your own soul desire structure also unsafe and needs to be modified?
Fear is a necessary emotion that helps people understand boundaries, but everything cannot be decided entirely by fear.
Of course, you can't just blindly ignore it, because the risk of this matter will not disappear just because your mentality changes.
Lu Bai twisted his body, then suddenly bit an egg nearby. The insect that had already formed inside the egg was broken into pieces by the sudden attack.
He wanted to struggle, but because he had not yet been truly born, his strength was a little weaker, and he had lost the initiative.
He didn't even have time to react before Lu Bai devoured it all in just a few bites.
After the worm in the egg entered Lu Bai's stomach, it was as if it did not exist. The digestive power inside the body turned it into a bottomless pit.
At the same time, the power of the abyss also gathered in Lu Bai's body along with biological energy.
Lu Bai could feel that as long as he ate a few more similar insects, his body would be able to complete its evolution.
This improvement speed is much faster than that of the human body.
The reason lies in the purity of the soul.
Lu Bai could discover that, in this current soul, the original abyss occupied the majority.
Therefore, as long as he sticks to the power of the abyss, he can quickly become stronger and complete his evolution.
However, after eating a bug, Lu Bai stopped fighting and instead looked for a place farther away from the coast and burrowed under the sand.
Then he began to study the power of the abyss in his body that was combined with the vitality.
Although the body and soul have been changed, one advantage of consciousness projection is that knowledge and cognition have not been distorted or changed.
If a normal abyss larva wants to be promoted, it can only use enough abyss power to stimulate the original in the soul and please the original existence, and then obtain corresponding information, and then use this information in conjunction with life energy to change its own life form.
But according to Lu Bai's understanding, in the real dimension, it is absolutely impossible to take care of every individual in the abyss, especially these young ones that are born in large numbers.
Therefore, most of the information packages of larval evolution should have already been engraved in the soul.
Although the power of the abyss that he had obtained was not enough, but with his own will and ability to observe the origin, he should be able to choose to unpack it in advance.
As long as his body develops to a certain level and has the foundation of strength, then even without the evolutionary information from the abyss, Lu Bai can open up his own evolutionary path.
Sure enough, according to Lu Bai's observation of the soul, the power of the abyss and the soul's induction.
Use consciousness to force the power of the abyss to change, and then create the illusion that the power of the abyss is already full.
Suddenly, the abyss engraving in the soul was activated, and a stream of information was automatically injected into Lu Bai's worm-like body, causing changes in his body.
However, Lu Bai intercepted this information the moment it appeared, and then disguised it as a problem with information transmission.
Therefore, the information in the soul could only sense that Lu Bai's abyss power was always in a full state, and the other party had not completed the evolution, so it could only continuously transmit various evolution information to Lu Bai.
Lu Bai analyzed this information and found that they were all different promotion directions for the abyss worms.
For example, big worms, little cowards, small flying bats, green flames and so on.
These evolutions actually do not bring about big changes. They simply promote body growth and develop more body parts.
A relatively special evolution option is Green Flame.
Using the power of the abyss, he burned his own body, thereby controlling an elemental flame called Green Flame and becoming an elemental life form.
Lu Bai took a look at the information package engraved on his soul. When he saw that there was not much information left in it, he began to think about his own evolution options.
Green Flame is one of them, but there are two problems with choosing to become Green Flame.
One is that Lu Bai is not very familiar with elemental life and does not have much relevant knowledge and understanding about it.
Secondly, if it turns into green flame, most of the decrypted abyss information packages will become waste.
After all, most of the evolution of worms is still based on flesh and blood life.
"Then I'll just do it with my own hands!" Lu Bai thought about it, then extracted the information in the information package, and then used the corresponding information to stimulate his current worm body according to his own interpretation.
The power of the abyss also moved with it.
First, the young worms are made to grow bigger.
The feeling of hunger immediately fell on Lu Bai.
After all, it was not a normal promotion for him.
If this continues, Lu Bai might starve to death.
But Lu Bai was prepared for this.
