Chapter 404: 377 Assassination Plot Against the Master of Divine Seal 2

"The Right Positioning Heavenly Phenomena is indeed an ability that can be mastered through training, however..."

Divine Light looked at me twice, then shook his head: "Are you trying to master the Right Positioning Heavenly Phenomena to achieve the goal of using mana even within the Void Realm? If so, I advise you to give up early."

The hope that had just arisen in my heart was quickly extinguished by him, leaving me to ask further: "Why is that?"

"Not everyone can master the Right Positioning Heavenly Phenomena through training, especially Impermanence."

This time it was Weichi who answered, continuing: "Strong doesn’t necessarily mean omnipotent. Sometimes, precisely because of strength, certain things become impossible.

"An ant can lift objects weighing over a hundred times its own weight and drag objects weighing over a thousand times its own weight, but if it were enlarged to the size and weight of a human, it would be impossible to accomplish the same feats. Some miracles can only be achieved by the weak, and the Right Positioning Heavenly Phenomena is one of them.

"It is a miracle that can only be demonstrated by emulating the heavens and imitating the earth with humility. Impermanence does not have the conditions to learn the Right Positioning Heavenly Phenomena.

"Even if it can be learned, the Right Positioning Heavenly Phenomena is so difficult that it is basically impossible to learn. Although Impermanence can instinctively display the extreme mysteries countless demon hunters couldn’t achieve in a lifetime, the Right Positioning Heavenly Phenomena is not among them. In Luo Mountain’s historical records, far fewer people have learned the Right Positioning Heavenly Phenomena through training compared to those who have mastered it innately."

I asked, puzzled: "Then how did Divine Light master the Right Positioning Heavenly Phenomena?"

"Before becoming Impermanence, I was the Divine Son." Divine Light answered.

The Divine Son is the descendant of Impermanence. That is to say, Divine Light mastered the Right Positioning Heavenly Phenomena due to his unique heritage.

Upon reflection, it makes perfect sense. Most of the Impermanence have special backgrounds; for instance, Xuanming’s origin can be compared to the tale of "The Mystical Bird Giving Birth to the Merchant." Dong Che once told me that the reason Impermanence can become Impermanence is because they inherently have the qualification to become Gods, some even walking on the earth in the guise of humans. These people might be born walking upright, speaking with human tongues, or bringing celestial phenomena in the womb.

Someone like Zhu Shi, who could communicate with everything in the universe since birth, indeed evokes the feeling of a character from the mythological era upon reflection. However, the feeling she gives, how should I put it... is too amiable? So I generally find it hard to associate her with that.

However, there are exceptions to everything. It is said that the Old Fist God had no special background.

According to the records, the Old Fist God was merely an old martial arts master teaching in a martial arts school long ago, and he was close to fifty years old when he first ventured into the abnormal world, precisely at the age where his spirit was in decline. No one at the time expected him to become Impermanence in the future.

Nevertheless, in Luo Mountain, there are those who firmly believe that the Old Fist God also has a hidden mysterious heritage, though the first fifty years of his life were tough, or perhaps he was a late bloomer.

"After becoming Impermanence, I actually lost the ability of the Right Positioning Heavenly Phenomena," Divine Light said calmly. "However, I have the power to manipulate light, and light is time, so I can reverse my time to temporarily recreate the Power of Heaven and Earth that I once possessed."

"Light is time"—what world view is this from?

Although I scoffed internally, this kind of power hinging on different world views was not something I encountered for the first time. Yinyue believed wholeheartedly that reality was an illusion, which allowed her to forcibly elevate her ordinary "illusion" ability into turning illusions into reality.

"Additionally, my urging you to give up mastering the Right Positioning Heavenly Phenomena is not just because you are Impermanence," Divine Light continued. "The world we live in is gradually descending into chaos, becoming increasingly irrational. Seeking new power by imitating such an anomalous heaven and earth is very unrealistic. The ability of the Right Positioning Heavenly Phenomena might not manifest in the future world."

"Hmm?" Weichi seemed to sense something amiss. "According to your explanation, Number Two should also master the Right Positioning Heavenly Phenomena, right? But isn’t she living in the future?"

"Who knows why. Maybe she just seems young but has lived countless years; or she lied, not being in the so-called ’Doomsday Era’; or perhaps she had opportunities beyond what we can imagine..."

As Divine Light spoke, he looked at me, perhaps thinking that due to my closeness with Number Two, I might know something. To this, I gave no response while organizing my thoughts.

If the Right Positioning Heavenly Phenomena can’t manifest in the future—especially in the chaotic Doomsday Era, then Little Bowl is indeed not Zhu Shi’s daughter, but Zhu Shi herself.

Now, what’s left is entering the Void Realm again to meet Little Bowl and bring her the name "Zhu Shi," which should allow for complete confirmation.

Unfortunately, the Right Positioning Heavenly Phenomena, as well as the Power of Divine Seal Fragments... I might find some way regarding the latter, but the former truly leaves me stumped. Am I really unable to use my powers within the Void Realm?

"Speaking of which... why did you find Divine Light?" I asked Weichi.

"What do you mean?" Weichi queried.

"Divine Light’s real-life identity is something he exposed voluntarily within the Void Realm, and based on my status as an unconfirmed Impermanence from Luo Mountain, he deduced that I am Number Three. In this way, we confirmed one another’s identities. But how did you confirm each other’s identity?" I said, "It shouldn’t be that he found you, but you actively sought him out, right?

"You’ve already exchanged your desired knowledge using the Divine Seal Fragment from the Master of Divine Seal, so did you seek Divine Light for new Divine Seal Fragments as there is other knowledge you wish to exchange?"

"No... I don’t have other knowledge I wish to exchange." Weichi shook his head. "What I need now is resources in reality.

"Though I have gained the knowledge to strengthen myself to the extent of fighting the Old Fist God, the actual process of strengthening requires a myriad of time and resources that my strength alone cannot achieve. Therefore, I must find Divine Light and offer him some support in exchange for what I need.

"...As for the specific resources I need, allow me to keep that a secret."

The Great Success Rank Weichi needs to provide support to the Great Impermanence Divine Light... that sounded rather unbelievable, but it was said Weichi’s understanding of arrays rivals the historically adept Impermanence in arrays, which is somewhat acceptable.

"Then... why do you want to kill the Old Fist God?" I asked curiously. "Do you have any grudges between you?"

Upon hearing this, Divine Light laughed: "Oh? Haven’t you heard? Let me tell you. Despite looking so ragged, this kid..."

Weichi showed a look of having an old wound exposed, unable to bear it, and said, "Hold on! I’ll tell Zhuang Cheng myself later."

"Alright, then let’s get back to business." Divine Light turned to me, "Zhuang Cheng, I want you to tell me how you managed to invade the Void Realm unnoticed by the Master of Divine Seal?

"Although I heard the Master of Divine Seal was in a state of complete slumber at the time, the Void Realm should not be a place where just anyone can invade. If you provide this method, perhaps I can gain some insights from it and become more confident in killing the Master of Divine Seal.

"You must also feel that the Master of Divine Seal is quite a troublesome character. Although I don’t like Xuanming, I agree that many of his judgments are for the good of the world. Even he opposes the Master of Divine Seal and spreads rumors about him outside, which shows the danger of the self-proclaimed Master of Divine Seal."

I didn’t expect Divine Light to hold Xuanming, the Luo Mountain traitor, in such high regard.

"I can tell you." I said, "However, before that, I must make it clear. There are many unknowns regarding the Divine Seal Fragment. Although I succeeded in invading the Void Realm, I’m not completely sure if this method can be repeated, nor if my conclusions are correct. You should take it as a reference."

Divine Light nodded solemnly: "I understand."

"First..." I summoned the Divine Seal Fragment bound to me, "The original target of this Divine Seal Fragment’s bond was not me."

In my mind, I repeatedly considered how I came to acquire this Divine Seal Fragment.

This Divine Seal Fragment first appeared not in my home, but in Changan’s rented room.

If not for Mazao bridging the gap between me and the abnormal world, Changan wouldn’t have knocked on my door that day, and I wouldn’t have had the chance to go to Changan’s rented room and find this Divine Seal Fragment in the basement of the fifteenth floor.

Although at first, I suspected that Changan discovered the basement of the fifteenth floor in his rented room because he was my friend and was indirectly affected by Mazao’s Broom Star Physique, I later realized that Changan himself was intricately linked to the abnormal world and might have entered it as a matter of destined fate. This initial suspicion was unfounded speculation without evidence, as Changan could have encountered the anomaly event on his own.

Assuming he could overcome the fear of the fifteenth floor’s basement and choose to enter bravely, he could likely have found the Divine Seal Fragment there and interacted with it.

Afterward, as long as he had the ability and mindset like mine to solve the basement’s mystery, he could escape and triumphantly return with the Divine Seal Fragment. Though there was the possibility of him being unable to solve the puzzle and thus perishing there, this outcome seemed more natural compared to the scenario in which I intervened.

From the Doomsday Era traversing to the modern times, Mazao had changed my fate, while my actions had altered Changan’s fate.
