Chapter 144 Possession
The Marquis of Shang's conjecture was not without reason. With the powerful ability to optimize the system, when Chen Yuan advances to the Realm Lord level, he might actually be able to develop special functions related to the fusion of laws.
However, this is only one possibility.
Chen Yuan was well aware of the difficulty of fusing the eight laws—you must know that even the fusion of a lower-level law and a higher-level law is enough to create a universe master!
The fusion of the Ten Laws is something that should only be considered after one becomes a True God.
Because the ultimate goal of the fusion of laws is to return to the source and comprehend the ultimate chaotic laws!
If one can reach this point, becoming the ruler of chaos is almost a certainty.
Even in the Origin Continent, this level of power is enough to dominate a region, making one a true top expert, second only to the God-King level.
From the Lord of the Universe, to the True God, to the Void True God, to the Eternal True God, only then does one reach the realm of the Chaos Ruler.
Therefore, Chen Yuan was never in a hurry to consider these distant matters. With the optimization system, he only needed to take steady steps and eventually reach the peak.
But Shanghou was completely different. He was ambitious and looked down on ordinary cultivation paths, considering them too mediocre.
What he sought was to ascend to the heavens in one step! So even though Shanghou did not know the ultimate secret of the fusion of laws, he was certain that this path must be incredibly powerful, perhaps even unprecedented.
Countless ages ago, Marquis Shang had already failed once, but he was still unwilling to give up and was determined to make a comeback.
If it weren't for Chen Yuan's appearance, he might have continued to wait until the world was destroyed, carefully selecting a perfect target for possession.
But more likely, he won't live to see that day.
Because in Shanghou's mind, his world had just entered the decay period and was still ten epochs away from complete annihilation. But the Virtual Universe Company would not sit idly by and wait for the secret realm to naturally perish. Chen Yuan had heard of the company's plan to actively annihilate the secret realm within an epoch in order to extract its remaining value.
At that time, the Marquis of Shang will also lose his source of energy, his soul will perish, and he will completely disappear into the long river of history.
However, Chen Yuan's appearance changed everything.
The unique nature of the optimization system gave Shang Hou hope and rekindled his ambition to pursue the path of law fusion. After observing for a period of time, he decisively decided to take action against Chen Yuan and seize this body with amazing talent.
"Chen Yuan, I've been observing you for a long time."
The Marquis of Shang's previously fanatical expression had subsided, and his demeanor had softened once more: "In my opinion, you are too cautious."
Lacking ambition.
"Even with such great talent, you're still content to stay in this small company." Shanghou shook his head and sighed. "With talent like yours, you should be roaming the stars and soaring to the heavens."
"..—" Chen Yuan paused for a moment, then finally couldn't help but say, "Don't you know that this is just a small branch of Virtual Universe Company?"
?
"The real Virtual Universe Company is one of the five giants of the human race, and there is more than one being at the level of a universe master."
"The power of the Lord of the Universe is so great that it can even reverse time and space and resurrect the dead."
"In your eyes, this can't still be considered a small company, can it?"
"Is that so? Then I misunderstood you." Shang Hou nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "But it's fortunate that it is so, otherwise I would have missed out on a target as gifted as you, and missed the opportunity to climb to the pinnacle of the universe."
"You seem quite confident that you can successfully possess someone?" Chen Yuan stared intently at the other person and said in a deep voice.
"Of course," Marquis Shang smiled confidently. "Can't you see the difference between us?"
"I, Shanghou, am a genius realm lord from the early days of the primordial universe. My soul is naturally at the level of a peak realm lord."
"I even gained a trace of immortality, and my soul essence soared."
"And Chen Yuan, you," Shang Hou looked at Chen Yuan and said calmly, "Based on my observation, although your soul talent is good, your Hengxing-level body possesses a Domain Lord-level soul."
"However, the gap between us remains as vast as an insurmountable chasm."
Chen Yuan remained silent. What the other party said was true; the difference in power between a ninth-level Domain Lord and a ninth-level World Lord was more than five thousand times, and the difference in their souls was naturally the same.
Moreover, the opponent's soul possesses a trace of immortality, increasing its strength by at least tenfold (normal immortality is a hundredfold).
Therefore, the difference in their souls will be several times greater!
No matter how you look at it, Chen Yuan's side shouldn't have had the slightest chance to resist.
but..
"Your soul essence is so powerful, but my physical body is only at the ninth level of the Eternal Star realm," Chen Yuan said calmly. "Aren't you afraid that after possessing my body, the excessive strength of your soul will cause your physical body to collapse?"
The spiritual realm and the physical body are in harmony!
The original work mentions that the soul realm can only be two stages higher than the body realm at most; if it goes any higher, it can easily cause the physical body to collapse.
Chen Yuan's ability to possess a powerful soul far exceeding the realm of the physical body was entirely due to the cultivation system of another world.
The state of mind that is constant and perfect not only makes his soul powerful, but also allows him to use his powerful mind to restrain the power of his soul and control his physical body, so that the two can achieve a perfect balance.
Without this extraordinary encounter, no one else would have achieved a soul realm that was even a few minor realms higher, let alone two major realms higher.
Even the physical body cannot withstand it.
Faced with Chen Yuan's question, Shang Hou remained calm and smiled, "You underestimate me. After the possession, I will take the initiative to separate a part of my soul to match the physical body."
"As for the secret method of splitting the soul, I am a realm lord in the early days of the primordial universe, and I have collected countless secret methods, so naturally I am not lacking in this one."
"Well, your preparations are quite thorough." Chen Yuan nodded, then suddenly asked, "Did you tell me so much before just to demonstrate your power and break my will?"
"Both," Marquis Shang sighed. "The era I lived in is too ancient; even my deeds are almost completely forgotten."
"I've told you so much, not only in the hope that you'll give up resisting, but also in the hope that more people will understand me, even if that person will soon disappear from the world."
At this point, he couldn't help but sigh: "After all—it's been too long."
"I see," Chen Yuan said knowingly. "Because you haven't interacted with anyone for so long, you couldn't help but want to confide in someone after waking up?"
"Your understanding isn't entirely wrong," Marquis Shang smiled at Chen Yuan. "So, after learning about my deeds, do you feel the urge to join me?"
"It's a pity your talent for laws is too low; you're only holding on by your mysterious positional talent."
In fact, Chen Yuan's current talent in the laws of nature is not bad; at least it is comparable to Bolan's, and he can be regarded as a genius that appears only once every tens of thousands of eras.
But in Shanghou's eyes, this level seemed quite mediocre.
He shook his head slightly and continued, "So, let me do it. After all, I've already tried once, and I was just one step away from success."
"With your mysterious talent as my aid, I believe I will succeed this time."
"Lord Shang, I must say, your persuasive skills are truly lacking." Chen Yuan chuckled. "Just this one reason?"
You want me to give up resisting?
"How much do you know about the universe, and how much do you know about things beyond the universe?"
"You look down on my conformity, but you don't know that I also despise your unconventional ways."
"How foolish it is to choose a narrow, winding path over a wide, direct road."
At this point, Chen Yuan couldn't help but shake his head: "With your talent, you could have had a perfect life. Becoming a king, an immortal, or even a cosmic venerable would have been within your reach."
"But because of your stupidity and that inexplicable ambition, you only reach the realm of the Lord of Realms."
"Even the most powerful realm lord, what then? They still don't have eternal life."
Upon hearing this merciless denigration, Marquis Shang's expression changed, and he could no longer maintain his composure.
He thought that the other party would admire and worship him after learning about his deeds—but to his surprise, the other party was dismissive of his great goal!
"Chen Yuan, you're nothing but a junior at the Heng Star level." Shang Hou's tone was tinged with anger and embarrassment. "You say I don't understand the universe? What do you know then!"
"Me?" Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Although I wouldn't dare say I know everything, I definitely know more than you do."
"Very well, very well." Marquis Shang had lost all interest in idle chatter. "Since that's the case, let me see what you actually know!"
"Once I possess your body, I will thoroughly examine your memories."
After Shanghou finished speaking, his figure transformed into a seven-colored ray of light and pounced towards Chen Yuanfei.
"Chen Yuan, don't let me down!"
