"distortion?"
Lu Yu was a little confused. He hadn't even figured out the spiritual puzzle yet, and now he was getting distorted.
Normally, shouldn't we avoid it at all costs?
After all, if a beast tamer is excessively corrupted by spiritual energy, it will directly pollute their physical body and soul. The former is relatively easy to deal with; as long as you have money, you can find a professional medical beast tamer to perform repair surgery.
If all else fails, you can go to the Mechanical King's Domain to get a mechanical prosthetic limb and join the glorious evolution.
However, a change in the soul is troublesome and difficult to remedy. Even if one is saved by chance, their personality will change drastically, and they may even develop some unusual hobbies.
For example... they like to eat the flesh and brains of their own kind!
This is not an exaggeration; such a thing actually happened, and the person who did it eventually became an evil beast tamer, calling himself "The Eater," preying on ordinary humans and even beast tamers, and ranking among the top 1,000 on the Alliance's blacklist of thugs.
So, is it really okay to let the spiritual puzzle be actively distorted?
Or has this succubus in the big cabinet... been knocked out by the hot spring?
As a gentleman, Lu Dashan showed concern for women. Women are made of water, but Lilith is made of wood and may not be rotten.
"Darling, your gaze is as audacious as ever, but that strange look can sometimes add a bit of fun. If only it were a little more disdainful... Anyway, let's get back to business!"
Lilith had originally intended to burn it, but seeing Akatsuki Yume staring at it, she swallowed her words and then said in a serious tone:
"Although I'm not a beast tamer, I know quite a bit about humans, after all... well, never mind, let's get back to the point. Do you know what [aberration] actually is?"
"Distortion? Isn't that just..."
Lu Yu instinctively wanted to answer, but the next moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Because he discovered that his understanding of the aberration was limited to knowing that the side effect was turning him into a monster.
But what exactly is the nature of the distortion? We have absolutely no idea!
Psionic pollution?
Or perhaps, it's about confronting certain higher-dimensional beings?
Lu Yu vaguely grasped something, but still lacked some crucial information, so he asked earnestly:
"Ms. Lilith, please enlighten me!"
Lu Yu always remained humble in the face of knowledge!
"People who earnestly pursue knowledge are truly admirable. I hope that one day in the future, you won't be the one being hunted by the knowledge you crave..."
Lilith nodded in satisfaction, then, after saying something meaningful, continued:
"Most distortions are caused by an imbalance in one's own spirituality, which leads to the erosion of the self. However, while this statement is correct, it is not detailed enough."
In fact, the entire natural world, and even the workings of all things in the Mother River, always tend towards balance. Just like the wind in nature, where there is high pressure on one side and low pressure on the other, gas will flow from the high pressure to the low pressure, thus achieving balance between the two sides. This process creates wind, although extraordinary forces are excluded from this category.
If your own spirituality remains balanced, you will not be affected. If it becomes unbalanced, it will become "low pressure," attracting high pressure to actively maintain this balance. In reality, it does not want to destroy you, but rather gives you a chance for a life leap.
Rather than being corrupted by psychic energy, it's more like being corrupted by the world, merging with nature and its laws to achieve complete sublimation and enter a state of harmony between humanity and nature.
However, if they fail, they will directly become part of the psionic energy. Moreover, after most life forms are mutated into monsters, a new balance will be reached. The limits of different life forms are different, and the mutations of ordinary people and Morning Star-level beings are vastly different.
"The only thing capable of infinite transformation is probably the [forbidden existence]."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu roughly understood the meaning: it was similar to cancer cells, where the body couldn't withstand the strain, leading to evolutionary failure.
However, it is more like the Taoist concept of the unity of heaven and man, transforming oneself into the Tao. In this world, once the spirituality of life loses its balance, it will be carried away by the world.
However, this process is like pulling up seedlings to help them grow. Most life forms will fall off as soon as they fly out due to their own limitations, turning into monsters that are neither good enough nor good enough.
As for infinite transformation, Lu Yu could only think of the anomaly, which could devour the primordial spiritual energy in the Mother River without restraint and had the potential for near-infinite evolution.
On the contrary, after he dies, he will become a super fierce guy!
"Of course, I'm not saying that distortion is a good thing. On the contrary, balance is the right way. However, everything is in balance, so we can't judge it as absolutely good or bad. A bad thing can turn into a good thing if given the right opportunity."
Lilith, seeing Lu Yu deep in thought, assumed the young man was shocked and continued with a smile:
"The Spiritual Puzzle was created by the combined spirituality of the Beastmaster and his three pets. Its initial purpose was to balance their own spirituality, upgrading a filter into a deluxe filter. The stable effect brought by the four-in-one combination is not additive, but exponential.
Logically speaking, this should be enough to greatly increase the strength of the human race.
But you human beast tamers are indeed notorious for being a bunch of lunatics. Some of you actually think that since both the soul and body are at risk, but the puzzle pieces are so stable, why not try actively causing distortion, allowing the spiritual puzzle piece to steal the power of the Mother River's laws and sublimate?
At this point, Lilith was also amazed, and admired the guy who first tried it. He was absolutely crazy. If he wasn't careful, he would have become a monster or part of the Spirit Sea.
The most terrifying thing is that it actually succeeded!
Humanity, with its beast tamers who are even more insane than the demons of the abyss, has not only survived but has also transformed from an insignificant race into a dominant force that now occupies half of the world.
It's true that only those who dare to fight will win!
No wonder the King chose the human race as an ally to carry out that plan...
A thought flashed through Lilith's mind, and then she continued:
"This process is called the 'Spirit Ascension Ritual.' Specifically, it involves performing a ritual in the primordial spiritual sea that corresponds to one's own spiritual puzzle piece. Some of these rituals are performed through secret treasures, some are passed down through generations of exploration by ancient families, and some are simply done by brute force..."
Regardless of the method, the core is to create the illusion of distortion, to resonate with the original spiritual sea, and to allow the puzzle to integrate into the rules and transform. However, this requires extremely high stability of the puzzle and sufficient spirituality and willpower from the individual; otherwise, it will evolve into a real distortion.
But if successful, it can strengthen the spiritual puzzle many times over, leading to special evolution, and even having a chance to give birth to the seed of [Law]!
The law!?
Lu Yu could understand the first two points, but upon hearing the last one, his pupils dilated slightly, and he said with an incredulous expression:
"Law? Isn't that a power only a true king possesses?"
It's just a promotion ceremony, how come it skips multiple ranks such as Morning Star, Radiant Moon, and Giant, and directly touches the realm of King? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?
"It's not as exaggerated as you think!"
Akatsuki Honglian, who had been listening nearby, interjected, quietly stretching and blushing slightly as she explained:
"The laws possessed by the True Kings have the power to radiate throughout the world, alter the laws, and transform everything they see into their own kingdoms. They are the manifestation of the True Kings' origin and are called the Supreme Laws!"
What is born from the spiritual puzzle is the "Law of Man," or the seed of law, a great miracle stolen from the Mother River. Its greatest ability is to allow you to experience the power of rules in advance, and at the level of spiritual transformation, you can use the true power of the spiritual puzzle.
You should have heard that the Morning Star rank is the true transformation for a Beastmaster. The reason is that after reaching the Morning Star rank, you can start using the power of the Spirit Puzzle to reflect and amplify your pet, or borrow a portion of the puzzle's power to gain a certain level of extraordinary power.
It's even possible to borrow the power of nature to bridge the gap and defy the Morning Star rank. Legend has it that some Beastmasters with Law Seeds have even unlocked a super-low-end version of the Law Domain after advancing to the Morning Star rank. Unfortunately, there's too little information about this, so I don't know if it's true or not..."
The more Lu Yu listened, the stranger his expression became, and he couldn't help but ask:
"What are the seeds of law like?"
"Egg!"
Akatsuki Yume, who had been playing in the water, suddenly spoke up, saying seriously:
"It looks like an egg!" She seemed to have seen it before. To make it easier to understand, she raised her hands and gestured very seriously. However, the movements were so exaggerated that Lu Yu's gaze followed them up and down.
Hmm...you're right!
Red Lotus nodded and said, "Yes, just like Mengmeng said, when it was first born, it should have been an egg or ovum the size of a fist, or it might have looked like a cloud of mist, showing the initial form of the world."
However, after hatching, it will change according to different spiritual puzzle pieces. It has no fixed shape, but without exception, it will become the core of the spiritual puzzle piece and give birth to special abilities.
"..."
Lu Yu fell silent, feeling that what they were talking about was somehow familiar.
Crimson Lotus thought Lu Yu was moved, so her expression turned serious, and she earnestly advised him:
"However, I suggest letting things take their natural course and not forcing your way into the Seed of Law. If you fail, it will affect your potential and even leave lasting consequences, which would be putting the cart before the horse."
Even the top families in the alliance, possessing numerous secret treasures, top-tier spiritual puzzle pieces, and complete rituals, cannot guarantee that they will produce such prodigies generation after generation. Failure often results in death or crippling, leading to a generational gap and the eventual decline of many families.
Lilith continued, "Beastmasters who possess the Seed of Law may not necessarily become kings, but barring any unforeseen circumstances, they are basically future giants and true top-tier prodigies."
However, the Seed of Law is not necessary. Even without it, it will not affect subsequent advancement. Moreover, among your human kings, very few actually possessed the Seed of Law in their youth.
Many of them were not particularly outstanding in their youth, but now their contemporaries have long since turned to dust, while they stand at the pinnacle of everything. Only those who laugh last are the winners.
These are still far from you. If you want to try the [Spiritual Ascension Ritual], you must at least undergo a spiritual transformation before you can even attempt it. Moreover, the Seed of Law also needs the spiritual energy of a transformed being to sustain the consumption.
The priority right now is to build up the spiritual puzzle. After all, your three pets have significant attribute differences: Void, Dragon, and Insect. While these attributes are powerful and have unique paths, they can easily go out of control if not combined properly…”
Although it appeared to be comforting, Lilith's true thoughts were:
Lu Yu came from a poor background but possessed great talent. Even if he were to undergo a spiritual transformation, there would likely be no suitable secret treasures or rituals to help him advance.
Then she could have the "True King" behind her, who is also the mother of the three Crimson Moon sisters, help him construct the "Ascension" ritual.
If the attack succeeds, it will be best to become a future giant in the future. If the attack fails, the true king can help save his life and minimize the impact.
After all, compared to Lu Yu's talent, the wisdom he displayed was what Lilith valued more.
With so many favors bestowed upon him, and by showing him extra care and concern, you can feel the sincerity of the succubi and play the emotional card. There's a high probability that you'll become the son-in-law of the [Succubus's Nest], or even, by making concessions and taking care of his feelings, you could become his son-in-law.
Once he's on our side, let him work hard, cultivate the land, and produce a bunch of royal offspring to complete the plan and elevate the succubus race to the top of the world!
Perfect!
Upon hearing this, Chi Yue Meng looked at Lu Yu with her crystal-clear eyes and said earnestly:
"It's okay if you don't have any, I can share..."
Before she could finish speaking, Chi Yue Hong Lian covered her mouth, and said to Lu Yu in a flustered manner:
"Mengmeng, do you still think you can beat them in a minute? That's too arrogant! I'm going to teach you a lesson about manners!"
With that, she dragged Chi Yue Meng, who still wanted to say something to Lu Yu, away to have a friendly exchange in the distance.
Lilith shook her head, feeling helpless. This silly child, why does she tell everyone everything?
All three of them are connected to the fate of the succubus race.
We cannot afford to fail!
Lu Yu kept his head down, not paying attention to Chi Yue Meng's words. After all, the president's family background was mysterious, so it wouldn't be surprising if he possessed the Seed of Law in the future.
He was lost in thought because he was thinking about something else.
The Seed of Law described by Lilith and Crimson Lotus looks just like the Chaos Egg in the center of the pasture in the spiritual puzzle of "The Shepherd."
As the core of the spiritual puzzle... its abilities are mysterious... it needs to be nurtured... by fulfilling the "grazing" conditions, different rewards can be obtained to promote its growth...
This must be the seed of law, right?
Isn't it said that one can only obtain this after a spiritual transformation, through countless near-death experiences?
Why did I get it for just assembling a jigsaw puzzle?
This gives you the top-tier equipment that even prodigies possess...
This process had absolutely no sense of ceremony!
"However, they said the Law Seeds are only the size of a fist, but mine... it's almost two meters tall! Is it going to hatch into the Law of Chaos? Or the Law of Pangu? Or perhaps the Law of the Pasture?"
Lu Yu was somewhat troubled and felt inferior because he was too big, making him feel out of place with everyone. He was referring to the Chaos Egg.
Even he couldn't be sure if this thing was truly the seed of law.
What if it's a gashapon machine?
Originally, Lu Yu could have asked Lilith to help with the appraisal, but because of the appearance of the curse system, the old woman almost analyzed even the bank card password, so Lu Yu had to put the idea aside for the time being.
By displaying the strength of the Gold Rank now, one is essentially telling the other party that one possesses a complete Boundary Gate.
Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is necessary!
Therefore, Lu Yu plans to visit his girlfriend Lilith again after some time.
"Speaking of which, now that I've reached spiritual transformation, can I still perform the [Ascension Ritual]...?"
Lu Yu was somewhat curious, after all, he possessed the forbidden rank attached to the [Master of the Gate], which was enough to suppress all aberrations at the soul level and allow him to transform to the extreme.
The Chaos Egg could definitely be upgraded again.
But the fear is... that one's own spiritual puzzle pieces might come alive, transforming into something like the [Primordial Shadow], such as the Eternal Ranch or the Pantheon Ranch...
That would be troublesome!
"Never mind, we'll see when the time comes!"
Lu Yu shook his head. Anyway, there was still a long way to go before spiritual transformation. Before that, he should first study how to complete the concept of "herding".
After a while, Akatsuki Yume and Akatsuki Kurenai returned, water droplets sliding down their fair skin and falling into the hot spring, splashing up tiny water droplets.
Just as Lu Yu was enjoying the hot spring, he saw Chi Yue Hong Lian walk straight up to him, hand him something, and say:
"This is the reward for our last exploration of the temple. Mengmeng went to great lengths to find materials suitable for your pet, and she almost wore us out."
"OK."
Lu Yu was slightly taken aback. He had been too busy lately and would have almost forgotten about it if the other party hadn't reminded him. So he reached out and took it.
Lu Yu's gaze froze as the Eye of Truth swept over him.
This material is very well done!
This 4,600-word chapter is really causing me writer's block. I spent the whole day writing it, and deleted two or three thousand words. I'm not entirely satisfied with it, so I'll organize my thoughts and continue writing. Thanks to wwx141 for the generous donation. I'll release an extra chapter while maintaining quality.
