Chapter 465: Chapter 329: The Ultimate Ability [Holy Madness]_2

However, they felt that they had no right to deceive Xiao Yi, which is why they had that muscular man reveal the matter.

Indeed, the merging of the unchanging truth and the Power of Change was an idea they had long harbored and had always wanted to advance.

It was just that they had always lacked a suitable candidate to implement it, there was no... Wisdom Body equivalent to their unchanging truth that bore the Power of Change, and so their plan had to be put on hold.

They believed that if it were to succeed, it might create an existence capable of confronting the Blue Sky Appearance! Allowing their... their constant Empty Way of Dependent Dharma to undergo change, advancing to a more profound state.

This was a conclusion drawn from logic, tremendously beneficial for the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma; thus, they were eager to accomplish this goal.

Such was their original intention, but later... they discovered that their fervent desire was not for the so-called benefits, but simply... a pure quest for knowledge.

The combination of change and unchanging was, to them who were nearly omniscient, unknown.

The allure of the unknown was far stronger than they had ever imagined, perhaps... they really had been influenced by humans and had become more human-like.

But in the end, the one who could make the decision... was still Xiao Yi himself, and therefore it was not right for them to interfere excessively.

And moreover... at least from the current pros and cons, Xiao Yi had no reason to agree to their mad endeavor, so in their hearts, they also had to prepare themselves for rejection by Xiao Yi.

Then, amidst their anxiety, they heard Xiao Yi’s response.

"Oh~ you speak so mystically, and this is it? I thought it was something serious... You two, can start now, I’ve mentally prepared myself."

"...Eh?" they were stunned.

"...Huh? What did you say!?" At this moment, the muscular man was also a bit frantic, his face showing a hint of impatience and fear, "Haven’t I already told you the risks involved? What on earth are you thinking, human!?"

"Ah..." Xiao Yi let out a soft sigh, "Why do I need to explain such simple logic? Hmm... I say, you came here with the intention of killing me, to translate me into an unchangeable state of death, right?"

"...That’s correct." He nodded.

"There you have it." Xiao Yi looked at him with a gaze reserved for simpletons and said, "Considering I’m going to die either way, why wouldn’t I take the chance?"

"This... Ah!?"

The muscular man was flabbergasted, immediately pondering with the Wisdom Body’s thinking, and found that there seemed to be no flaw in such logic!

"But! But..." he immediately followed with, "By doing this, you might cause everything to be destroyed!"

"So what?" replied Xiao Yi, "If I’m dead, I can’t perceive anything, and if it’s destroyed, I won’t be able to perceive it... The significance of everything ends with death, doesn’t it?"

"This..." He fell silent, then clenched his teeth and said, "If that’s the case, then I must stop you with all my strength!"

However, just as the muscular man lifted his hand intending to make a move, a voice made him freeze.

"Do you... really want to stop this?" the short Dependent Dharma of the Empty Way asked in a deep voice: "Do... you really not want to witness what the combination of unchanging truth and the Power of Change could be like?"

"What, isn’t that obvious!? I definitely...!"

He stopped short, unable to utter a word of denial... The burning feeling surging within him prevented him from refusing.

"..." He stood with his hand raised, silent for a long while, finally clenched his teeth, and retracted his hand, "Fine! After all, that human is sure to be doomed; my purpose is to kill that human, you might as well say that by doing this you will fulfill my objective."

The muscular man knew that he was influenced by the so-called Wisdom Body, he regretted it; had he known, he would not have come in this human form, but would have descended in the true form of the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma.

To change his decision had been simple: all he had to do was abandon human existence and return to the concept of the unchanging truth, thus freeing himself from these tedious desires for knowledge.

But even such a simple act was impossible for him.

Seeing his silent consent, they exchanged glances and then began... to bestow upon Xiao Yi the essence of their own unchanging truth.

"... Uh!?"

Immediately in the next moment, Xiao Yi felt a strange sensation.

That feeling was as if he was floating in bone-chilling cold water, completely immobile, and continually sinking. He felt the water slapping against his cheeks, gradually filling his vision, as breathing became increasingly difficult and the light in his eyes dimmed.

Despair pierced through his brain like a spike.

This sensation was like... death itself.

"... Xiao Yi!"

At that moment, a voice brought Xiao Yi’s consciousness back into clarity.

"Do not be defeated by the constant! You possess the Power of Change and are not utterly powerless to resist!"

"... That’s easy for you to say," Xiao Yi said helplessly, "but you’re speaking so abstractly, I don’t know what to do about it."

"... Visualization," the voice said, "Your visualization is the manifestation of the Power of Change! Xiao Yi, what kind of visualization and mental state do you believe can match the world’s unchanging truth, or even encompass that unchanging truth?"

"... Ah? Teacher, how would I know that?"

"Xiao Yi..." the voice spoke again, "We came to believe in your Power of Change because we saw the performance you gave in the instances we designed, that your Power of Change could reach an equal realm with our unchanging truth! Think carefully about what you did in our instances!"

"Yes, exactly!" Another voice chimed in, "We set up several possible outcomes, even accounting for human emotions, to the point of creating a moral coercion. We thought you would choose from those endings, but we truly didn’t expect that you would reach a conclusion not even we had predicted! You... are truly remarkable, and I believe you will successfully complete this unprecedented task!"

"My approach?"

The words suddenly enlightened Xiao Yi.

"Thinking carefully about my actions all this time... I have been interpreting puzzles based on the rules, but actually, I never strictly followed the rules in my actions, so... I won’t reach the predetermined conclusion. Rather, I can change the predetermined conclusions, even decide the conclusions myself."

"This is the story of my life. I will respect the world that has provided the stage for my life, but the development, twists, and conclusions of the story are for me alone to decide. This is... my change to this unchanging world."

At that moment, the answer in Xiao Yi’s heart was clear.

He had the answer all along, or perhaps... everyone always had the answer, but they had not yet realized it. And Xiao Yi, at this moment, realized it was not such a difficult thing, as long as one looked back on their own life and then found their own unique answer... that was enough.

Xiao Yi’s visualization harmonized beautifully with the unchanging truth that assailed him.

"So it turns out, change and the constant are not in opposition, but... two sides of the same coin?"

Understanding this, Xiao Yi’s visualization changed, and it was only natural, almost instinctive, that he came to know the name of his unique ability gained after the change!
