Source Abyss Celestial Lord 47

Li Aoz stared at the old woman. He knew that she had signed a special contract with Star Abyss, and that she had to protect every oath and identity. So he asked boldly and confidently:

"What does this have to do with me taking over someone else's body?"

"No, that's not someone else's body."

The old woman stared at Li Aoz: "All of this is yours. Your fate was predetermined, like the protagonist of a popular novel, an invisible hand, a down-and-out 'writer,' manipulating and playing with your destiny—your fate is being sketched and depicted."

"You mean, I'm actually the protagonist of a book?"

"It's just a metaphor. You're not necessarily the protagonist, nor are you necessarily a book. You might just be a thought," the old woman said. "But your life trajectory... what I saw through the spirit world was a strange straight line. Someone arranged everything for you."

"I don't care what you say."

Li Aoz felt very uncomfortable:

"There's something in my mind that's giving me hints. Can you help me find out what it is?"

The old woman looked at him and said:

"I will die."

"Why?!" Li Aoz in confusion. "If it's the brain, I can just replace it. Could that thing possibly destroy my consciousness?"

"Yes."

The old woman's words were concise and to the point:

"If you dare to do that, you will kill yourself."

"Why?"

"I told you, that's you, and all of this is yours."

The old woman pointed to her head and said, "You, Li Aoz, Lioz, Li Si, it's all you."

"Lioz? I didn't possess Lioz's body."

Li Aoz was taken aback. Without thinking too much about it, he asked:

"What should I do? Although no problems have surfaced yet, what about later?"

The old woman shook her head. "I don't know."

"Can you solve it... Grandma?"

Li Aoz felt the problem was becoming intractable. "Is there no way to stop it from affecting my thinking? If this continues, I will definitely be swallowed up by society because of schizophrenia!"

"You should find someone else to help you with this."

"Holy crap!"

Li Aoz almost sat up. "Atamasha·Spirit Pivot, you are the greatest [Mind Mentor] in the Abyss. If you can't do this, where am I supposed to find someone to solve this problem!"

"You."

Atamash Coffin slowly stood up, took a bottle of medicine from the cabinet behind him, and placed it in front of Li Aoz.

"What's this?"

"Xia Er Guiniya's [Truth Drug]".

Atamash said, "That was a deity who [Overlord Universe]. Although his reputation wasn't very good, he did resist society to some extent. However, with the fall of the Morphedria Main God who [Overlord Universe], Xia Er Guiniya also disappeared."

"The Truth Drug is a counterfeit, with only 1/3 the effect of the original. The raw materials are the Obscure Butterfly, the Dead Moon Eye, and bone powder from the Morris Wolf. You yourself are a craftsman, so you can synthesize it."

Li Aoz picked up the medicine bottle, poured out a pill, a pale yellow pill about the size of a fingernail, which gave off a strange coppery smell that he found somewhat repulsive.

"It can cure me?"

He was skeptical of this.

Even though the person in front of him was the most mysterious [Mind Mentor] in the entire Layer Abyss, and also a top mentor in the [mysterious] category.

"No, no one can cure you. It's like a volcano; its existence is not wrong. It's just that the disaster caused by a volcanic eruption brings extremely serious panic—isn't that what you're afraid of?"

Atamash slowly sat down:

"It can't save you, but it can help you release stress—it allows the uneasy and indifferent parts of your consciousness to make judgments in certain situations. By constantly eroding that part of your consciousness, you won't be affected in any way."

Li Aoz looked at the pills, then pleaded with Atamash: "Am I really unable to save myself?"

"Child, this is not about saving, it's about growing up."

Atamash said coldly, "You must understand that no matter what wrong you have done, no matter how badly you have been beaten like a dog, you are you, and all of that is you. You have enjoyed the benefits of the past, and you must bear the responsibilities of history—you must face this fact."

Will there be any side effects?

"If you mean the drug will harm your mind and body, or affect your endocrine system—then I can tell you with certainty that it won't. Xia Er Guiniya is a Goddess of exceptional talent, and her drug Perfect and Flawless."

Atamash shook his head. "But I must remind you. The smarter your mind is, the deeper that part of your consciousness will affect you. This is not a bad thing. You should make peace with yourself. If you want to truly 'save' yourself... then I suggest you continue on the path you are on now."

"Okay... then can you find out who gave me the psychological suggestion?" Li Aoz shrugged. "Surely that's possible?"

"Piarinus. He also has a somewhat well-known nickname."

Atamash said calmly, "— [Source Abyss Celestial Lord]."

Li Aoz's pupils contracted.

"As expected... it was the problem with that Spirit Wraith that I encountered when I arrived."

"Piarinus has always coveted the path of the [Dominion] lineage. For many years, He has sought to find the ' Eye of Discernment,' one of the Destroyers, to destroy it and avenge Him. However, the path of the [Dominion] lineage lacks a chief god; He only needs to cultivate one..."

"It's easy to imagine that He will directly possess an army of God Embracer from the main temple. A force that can be used to fight against [Society] and the Three Great Destroyers." Li Aoz understood what she meant.

Has [Source Abyss Celestial Lord] ever supported anyone else?

"Don't be nervous, there are many more like this. You're not the only victim."

Atamash spoke slowly:

"If you want to solve this problem, you can only rely on yourself to become stronger. Once you become stronger, all problems will cease to be problems."

"Easy for you to say, but that's Source Abyss Celestial Lord!" — Li Aoz didn't say it directly. Atamash Coffin was a figure close to a god. Players have always suspected that she was actually Omega-rank, but due to some accident, her strength and level dropped greatly, which is why she chose to retire.

If that's the advice she's giving, then other people, especially those at her level, would likely offer similar advice.

"... It's better than nothing."

Li Aoz suddenly laughed.

He used to mock Ya Wen for being too insecure, like she had Yu Yu syndrome, but now he's almost having a mental breakdown himself.

Fortunately, he strengthened his mental fortitude; otherwise, he might have remained in the dark for who knows how long.

Next, he needs to continue to improve his mental resilience.

—Promoted to the rank of Bishop.

A thought suddenly occurred to him, and he immediately realized this.

The Bishop possesses a passive skill: Sleepless Heart, which reduces the effect of mind attacks by 60%.

This is the best way.

Atamash's advice is actually quite simple: a drop of ink in a bottle of water is considered pollution.

Ink droplets in an ocean are nothing.

If you increase your mental resilience and release the subconscious pressure in time, you won't need to worry about such a small thing.

But Li Aoz didn't want to let it go so easily.

[Source Abyss Celestial Lord] wanted to control his destiny, to make him ascend to the main god of the [Dominator] path, and then join hands to find the Destroyer, ' Eye of Discernment ', whose fate was unknown.

Although the process was good, the beginning and the result were not good.

The Destroyers are among the most Combat Power beings, and a few main gods alone cannot contend with them. Moreover, they might already be dead, their bodies completely rotten.

Li Aoz didn't want to be bound like this. Based on his understanding of Star Abyss, there were very few in history who could fight against the Destroyers.

[Source Abyss Celestial Lord] wants to drag me to my death? No way!

"I will go as far as you want me to go!"

Li Aoz swallowed a pill directly.
