Chapter 933: Chapter 870: The Devil’s Whisper

Since the first cricket fighting competition had been held, several years had passed, and during that period, countless contestants had made a striking impression, making their names memorable to numerous cricket fighting enthusiasts.

However, in that era of numerous rising heroes, only one person had become the absolute king of this event.

In the past 36 cricket fighting competitions, he had taken 34 championships.

"But I still don’t understand what ’sinking’ means?"

Vadim interrupted the middle-aged man’s reply, raising his question.

Even though his time among the stars had been extremely brief, he had felt an unprecedented shock from it, far more profound than the "evolution" promised by "Blue Eyes."

It also made Vadim realize that beyond the world he knew, there existed separate spaces with entities beyond human imagination.

Deity.

The name "Nothingness" he heard matched everything humans imagined about deities.

"Every cricket in the competition possesses unique abilities, which is key to their victory in intense events, and even to us, the crickets’ talents are uncontrollable."

The nominally crickets, however, possessed autonomous mental awareness, meaning, even if they followed the same paths, they could develop distinctly different abilities.

Before the ceremony was completed, they didn’t know what kind of cricket they would receive.

"And you, young man, your ability is truly..."

"Nothingness" didn’t continue, knowing how strong a blow it would be for a newcomer to Spiritual Energy.

Of course, he had learned these truths from his own students.

Forsaking the physical body and existing as pure consciousness was the way to ascend to higher worlds, implying that regardless of their past origins, upon completing "Ascension," they had to abandon everything.

In another world, they gained almost unlimited time.

This would inevitably distance them increasingly from their former selves, thereby evolving into something utterly different.

Empathy, compassion, and kindness—these qualities also would be devoured by the prolonged time.

Just as the people of the time had named them, at the end of time, only Nothingness remained.

"But I’ve heard people say, a king has the ability of a king, a chef has the ability of a chef, likewise, Psychic Abilities have no levels of strength or weakness."

Vadim had used his connections with Kolo Film Industry to interact with students from Purple Wisteria Academy, and he had heard this phrase from them.

In fact, this phrase had inspired countless "ordinary" Ability Users, firmly believing that their abilities would shine and heat up someday in the future.

"Oh? Have you heard this phrase too? Has it really become so famous?"

"Nothingness" was taken aback, "Theoretically speaking, this phrase is correct. As long as you possess sufficient Spiritual Energy, no matter how weak your ability sounds, it can become an entity not to be underestimated."

This reminded him of a confrontation in a past cricket fighting competition.

His disciple had proven that even the ability "never to choke while eating" could be enough to win the championship in the cricket fighting competition.

It should be noted that after a few experimental early competitions, any champion of subsequent cricket fighting competitions was considered a strong contender among humans.

"But unfortunately, this phrase has nothing to do with you because your Psychic Abilities are also weak, like a small flame that could be extinguished by a breeze anytime... What are you doing?"

"Nothingness" looked puzzled at Vadim, who after being struck down, walked to a corner and slowly sat down on the bare concrete floor, looking up at the azure sky.

"Don’t mind me, from now on, I’m a mushroom."

This was a psychological therapy mentioned by a psychologist on TV. The beautiful psychologist from The First Region believed that most psychological disorders today stemmed from the stress of life and society, and corporate people were particularly at risk. The fundamental reason was their high expectations for their present and future. Once reality couldn’t meet these expectations, the feeling of broken hopes would torture them deeply.

Therefore, by having no expectations for the future, one could fundamentally solve the problem.

For example, when facing setbacks, you could imagine yourself as a mushroom or a potted plant.

At that moment, Vadim had just experienced a journey from heaven to hell.

He had witnessed the vastness of the stars and once believed that he had been chosen by a deity, but immediately after, this deity told him that his abilities were almost useless, and his Psychic Energy was so weak it seemed as if it could extinguish at any moment.

Even if "Blue Eyes" and military technology were not up to the mark, at least they had promised him that he had completed "evolution," thus transcending humanity.

But if one were to look on the bright side...

After receiving the blessing of "Nothingness," he was at least more formidable than a mushroom or a potted plant, thus in the future, he wouldn’t easily lose to the staff of a weed control company or participants in a mushroom plucking contest.

"A mushroom? You can’t be a mushroom, you still have to compete in the 37th cricket fighting competition."

"Nothingness" quickly said.

After all, the times had changed. The age of Spiritual Energy had long ended, and nowadays, participants in the cricket fighting competition no longer had the luxury of being choosy, even cricket that used to act only as experience fodder needed nurturing.
