Chapter 1159: Chapter 837: Reading the Letter
Tia’s words implied a sense of having a sword and having no sword to use. Without fate-related powers, it’s akin to not having a sword, and people’s perception of such a presence would deviate.
But with such abilities, it’s like being someone who carries a sharp sword at all times, and people’s perception of such a presence would deviate in another way.
Why would a perfectly normal person carry a sword? Are they planning something bad?
Even if Zheng Yichen had no such intention, many people would still think so because of the sword.
And fate-related powers involve fate itself. By possessing such powers, Zheng Yichen has already become a crime suspect in the eyes of fate.
Even though he hasn’t committed any crime, Zheng Yichen already has the corresponding conditions to commit one at any time.
Therefore, after obtaining such powers, whether he uses them doesn’t make much of a difference.
"So I can just use this whenever I’ve got nothing else to do in the future?"
Zheng Yichen clicked his tongue, recalling a joke from before he transmigrated.
It was about a person who, after killing someone, was destined for Hell, and then the devil came to persuade him—since you’re going to Hell anyway, is killing just one person enough?
Why not let blood flow like a river and go to Hell in style as a great Demon King...
Fate-related powers could be like that too?
"That’s your own business." Tia said she wouldn’t interfere with Zheng Yichen’s thoughts. She merely informed him about the impact of fate powers; how he chooses is up to him.
"Actually, you could say a bit more on this matter." Zheng Yichen sighed, feeling that things were definitely not as simple as Tia suggested.
Using or not using, are they really the same, but when used or left unused, are they truly the same?
Zheng Yichen viewed fate-related powers as nuclear weapons, and when used as a deterrent, they could serve the function of nuclear weapons and usually wouldn’t lead to severe consequences.
Conversely, it would make others more rational.
If nuclear weapons are abused and thrown at anyone displeasing, rationality is out of the question. Given the chance, others would certainly not hesitate to throw a massive amount of nuclear weapons back.
So using or not using makes no difference in a certain way; from a deterrent perspective, that’s the case, but abuse and cautious use would certainly differ. Zheng Yichen felt that overuse would lead to a strong dependency.
Before Zheng Yichen killed the Fate-Defying Supreme Demon, he attempted to use such power to reverse fate, and Lilith acquired the soul fragment of the Fate-Defying Supreme Demon.
Analyzing and calculating from the information obtained, if the Fate-Defying Supreme Demon had succeeded in reversing fate, many unforeseen changes would have occurred to Zheng Yichen’s strike at the time.
For example, the attack would miss, or Zheng Yichen might accidentally hamper his breath, significantly weakening the strike, allowing the Fate-Defying Supreme Demon to directly ignore such an attack, or even more extremely, directly invalidating Zheng Yichen’s strike without reason.
Defying fate is a reversal of results; if the result changes, the process is like a constrained world line—whatever happens in between doesn’t matter since the result is predetermined; no matter how chaotic the process, it would ultimately conclude in the determined outcome.
Moreover, Zheng Yichen thought, since things are like this, when encountering fate-related ability users in the future, he might as well not hold back—just do it as he sees fit. The key is to use it with restraint, not to overly rely on such powers.
Back at his dwelling, his family members were busy here, even though Zheng Yichen’s relocation was a very thorough move, the position of the house changed, and the direction it faced was different too.
Some things initially set up here needed readjustment, including the weapons Zheng Yichen once installed here, though those weapons are outdated now. It was a good time to replace them with new ones during this adjustment.
Lilith used the Universal Toolbox combined with Divine Domain, this combination enabled the Universal Toolbox to directly become something akin to a Cradle of Civilization.
Actually, Zheng Yichen can now directly fetch a Cradle of Civilization from the Firmament Wheel world. If there wasn’t a Virtual World Core, they could get one, but now it’s unnecessary. The Universal Toolbox can serve as the chip of the Cradle of Civilization, reshaping matter within the Virtual Genesis by Lilith.
The Cradle of Civilization is instead a ’burden’.
Currently, what limits Lilith is energy. Though she can make most things now, there are still some beyond her manufacturing range.
For instance, something like a harmonizing stone can at most be simulated in the Virtual World, impossible to create a substantial artificial harmonizing stone. It requires enormous energy and has stringent material requirements.
As Lilith explained, to create something like a harmonizing stone, Zheng Yichen might need to actually insert a planet’s star core into it, as artificial star core batteries couldn’t achieve that.
Zheng Yichen was thinking if he could really dig out the star core of a planet, then he might as well go to the world of magic to find more harmonizing stones. If he could achieve that level, who could stop him?
Although once this thing is artificially created, it means infinite resources of the same kind can be obtained without painstakingly searching for natural ones, the cost of finding natural harmonizing stones is still lower.
Arriving at the storage cabinet, Zheng Yichen collected the latest replies, storing all except the letters from the three little ones into the internal space for Lilith to read and organize.
After he finished reading the letters from Liu Hongzhao and the others, Lilith would report the organized information.
The three little ones are still on a mercenary mission, with the letter stone from two days ago, and their feelings reflect some frustration. Their general situation was that they went to a world of good versus evil, where there were martial artists and immortality cultivators...
Due to the world environment, the differences between the two weren’t too significant. Martial artists were not completely outclassed by immortality cultivators.
In that world, immortality cultivation is about becoming an immortal, while martial artists use martial arts to enter the path. Ultimately, immortality cultivation shows early results but demands high aptitude, and it’s not something you can casually practice just for quick results.
If you don’t have the aptitude, don’t think of getting quick results.
Once martial artists truly get started, their combat power isn’t inferior to immortality cultivators, though their impact range doesn’t match that of immortality cultivators, such as with spells like wind summoning and rain invocation.
However, in the influence range of martial artists, immortality cultivators don’t have much advantage. This range doesn’t require martial artists to be close to exert influence; as long as they are at the center, those spells are not strong enough to harm the martial artist.
As for wind summoning and rain invocation... martial artists can’t do that, but they can slash rain clouds. Rain? Think again.
The letter roughly explained the situation in that world, which was very suitable for the three little ones. However, issues arose with the ’good versus evil’ pattern of that world, and they followed the Evil Path.
The Evil Path is just one of many paths, like immortality cultivation, demon refining, etc. These aren’t side paths you can casually walk, but by following the Evil Path, they are easily categorized as part of the evil faction.
Especially Liu Hongzhao, who unleashes a storm of blood the moment she acts. People’s first impression of her is of a beautiful Female Demon, an evil enchantress.
That’s the saying in that world, and then the Evil Path of that world became dissatisfied. "We walk the Evil Path, don’t lump us into the evil way so easily!"
There are many paths within the Evil Path. Although some are bloody, why should the evil way claim them?
Simply put, both involve a slaughter, but in the Evil Path, for greater power and effect, other aspects become unstable. Although this yields quick results.
The Evil Path does similar things but pursues greater power and effect, though it isn’t necessarily less stable, just with higher requirements.
If the conditions aren’t met, using it and getting backlash means you are underprepared. This is also a hurdle. While the Evil Path emphasizes speed, its requirements are sometimes higher, but once met, there are fewer issues.
The evil way has fewer requirements and offers quick success, similar methods to the Evil Path, but without a series of preconditions, looking more convenient yet actually cuts off the true path.
Once the Evil Path conditions are met, there are no further issues. The evil way lacks conditions leading to unresolvable subsequent problems, which only explode once suppressed beyond a point.
Some of the Evil Path’s draining methods result in only temporary weakness, and overusing will drain Life Force, whereas for the evil way, it always saps Life Force.
Moreover, the method of Life Force exhaustion applies not only to the Evil and evil ways but also exists in the Righteous Path.
In Liu Hongzhao’s world, both the Evil and Righteous Paths are like top-tier students, though the Evil Path is more aggressive, opting for high-risk, high-reward strategies, like running an underground operation, using methods to monopolize business and force others to submit. It’s not legal, but they set rules and have a framework.
The Righteous Path takes a more stable and proper approach, like a regular business development, whereas the evil way just robs banks, seizing opportunities when they see money, and after scouting points, they do a job.
High risk, quick returns, but prone to issues.
The world’s other Evil Paths vary, but in Liu Hongzhao and her world’s case, this is how it operates.
Yet, the Evil and evil ways often get easily confused, leading people in that world to lump them together.
Even though those on the Evil Path do tend to lean toward the evil way, good and evil are just a thought apart, with the Evil Path in between.
This situation, coupled with the influence of decoders, led them to be viewed as enchantresses...
