Heavenly Demons to Each Other, discussing constancy and the Dao!

At the center of the ceremony, Locke received the Supreme Meditation Method from the other party. He quickly read it and discovered that it was a top-tier Supreme Meditation Method Supreme Meditation Method that used the winds of the mind to cleanse one's chaotic forms, Reduction into Emptiness. To use it, one needed to be in an extremely cold environment and take a special Golden Potion: the Ice Soul Potion. Deep within, a wind of the mind would arise that could cleanse the body and soul, impacting the limbs and bones from the inside out, removing the chaotic forms and leaving only those of acceptable quality.

Locke confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the content of the book titled "[Ice Soul Wind: Supreme Meditation Method]".

Acquiring more Supreme Meditation Method can significantly enhance the power of your Pseudo Forging Minor Reform.

These Supreme Meditation Method are the result of the hard work and dedication of High-Ring Wizard.

Next, Locke read the contents of "Discussing Constancy" through the Lingzhi Magic Plant. Simply put, Discussing Constancy is a small game played by wizards of the Moon-Ring Grand Wizard and above. Two Moon-Ring Grand Wizard describe to each other their understanding of Pseudo Forging and Constancy, and become each other's Heavenly Demon. They connect their Constancy by becoming each other's Heavenly Demon, forming a special battlefield.

The Discussing Constancy" is no longer popular today.

Because Discussing Constancy's status and role have been largely replaced by other systems, such as who has more Representative Species, who can develop more magic fires that make it onto the Magic Flame Ranking, or whose magic fires can rank so high on the list. These more tangible things have replaced Discussing Constancy.

However, some wizards still maintain the habit of playing this game.

Some wizards have also written about Discussing Constancy.

After all, the core of the Discussing Constancy is that each other is Heavenly Demon, questioning the Constancy described by the other until one party's Heavenly Demon is broken and can no longer question the Constancy of the other party.

Locke quickly read through the information. The Witch Catherine told him that he could Discussing Constancy; even if he lost, he would gain a Supreme Meditation Method.

I'm still young, so even if I lose, it will be more beneficial than harmful to me, and my teacher has a lot of confidence in me.

Locke realized that his opponent was a long-established Pseudo-Forging Lord, and that he himself had very little experience in the field of Pseudo Forging, so dealing with him would indeed be quite difficult.

The Pseudo Forging witch said, "It seems that people in later generations Discussing Constancy less. Discussing Constancy is something that requires a solid foundation. So I'll start."

The empress walked around Locke. "The power of the Pseudo-Forging Lord lies in his ability to maintain his own Constancy."

"Only those Pseudo-Forging Lord can maintain their own Constancy are truly powerful Pseudo-Forging Lord. Therefore, the key to determining whether a Pseudo-Forging Lord is powerful lies in whether he can maintain his own Constancy so that he cannot be attacked by anyone."

"To maintain one's own Constancy, one must use rules and strong power to restrain those with potential rebellious intentions."

The Queen walked behind Locke. "As a young Pseudo-Forging Lord, you should know that a glorious Pseudo Forging will inevitably attract those who want to leech off others. In other words, Pseudo Forging will inevitably produce leeches. Pseudo Forging that cannot sustain itself under more forms will weaken, decay, and decline. And once it becomes affiliated with more forms, the Pseudo Forging will be filled with those who want to take advantage."

people.

"Therefore, determining whether a Pseudo-Forging Lord Pseudo-Forging Lord is powerful depends on whether they can suppress those who want to take advantage and continue to lead the Pseudo Forging industry to develop."

Locke's Magic Pressure surged at that moment, and his Constancy Constancy with that of the Empress of Pruodimor.

At this moment, the Magic Pressure of both Locke and Pruodimor was rising.

Mike and Klee have already left this world, and deep within this Venom Great World, at this very moment, Locke, alone and using the native divine body brought by the Huaniu Apple, is discussing the Dao with the Queen of Pruodimor.

Locke and she both stood at the center of the ritual in Duel City, without moving.

However, as Locke listened to the other person's description, a vision of the once incredibly prosperous Pruodimor appeared before his eyes, with wizard cities rising one after another and wizard Airship entering Pruodimor's port from the void every moment.

The wizard's Airship came and went.

A group of First-Ring Wizard stood at the port, blocking the wizards who were carrying a large amount of magical supplies from beyond the void and about to enter the port with wooden crates. The First-Ring Wizard rudely demanded that the wizards who brought back these supplies hand over a certain percentage of the supplies to them as protection money, otherwise they would steal the supplies.

At that very moment, a group of wizard guards wielding magical iron whips immediately struck the First-Ring Wizard with these whips, which crackled with lightning.

The wizard guards declared that, by the Queen's decree, thieves who had plundered property would be severely punished and banished to an outpost in the Infinite Void, where they would first endure five terrible punishments on body and soul that would terrify all wizards.

The figure of the Pseudo-Forging Lord Queen appeared behind these guards. She raised an eyebrow at Locke and gave him a satisfied smile.

"Orders are obeyed without question, and no transgression is permitted. Constancy is secure, civilization is secure, and the empire is secure. Explorers enter the void, guards protect the people, ironclad laws uphold the empire, and capable wizards will receive the greatest resources, which will be distributed to Pruodimor in proportion."

At this moment, Locke listened to the other party's words while considering his own thoughts. "The Pseudo-Forging Lord should protect the beings within the Pseudo Forging system. Not every being possesses combat power, but the lack of combat power, or their current weakness, does not mean they have no value, nor does it mean they are useless within this system."

Locke transformed into the opponent's Heavenly Demon at this moment. The Lord of Heavenly Demon descended into this world, and the Constancy of Pruodimor was shaken. The Lord of Heavenly Demon was the Pseudo-Forging Lord outside of this Pseudo Forging.

Pruodimor's eyes revealed a hint of interest.

She wanted to see how this overly young, Pseudo-Forging Lord from later generations would Discussing Constancy with her in the depths of this world, and to see what kind of understanding such a young person from later generations had of Constancy.

Locke continued speaking, and as Locke did, the Pruodimor witch saw within her Pruodimor system a wizard who was researching fundamental mathematics that was of no value to the exploration of the void. He was weak, timid, and not good at arguing. Because of his long-term research into fundamental subjects that had no direct benefit to void warfare, he was considered a Pruodimor witch.

The teachers looked down on it.

He lived in the impoverished region of Pruodimor, where he spent his days writing and drawing on paper, doing his work.

But on this day, he was about to be evicted because he couldn't pay his rent. He got into a fight with the guards, and being someone who disliked conflict, he was beaten black and blue. He went to the local magistrate to complain, but because he wasn't good at communicating and his speech was unclear, he was instead reprimanded by the magistrate. He stood under the magic street lamp, head down, pondering whether the world of Pruodimor still needed him.

Next, Her Majesty the Empress of Pruodimor saw a painter who had no direct combat ability and no way to record otherworldly scenery, and who spent his days studying what colors would make wizards feel the most joyful, and what primary and secondary compositions would amaze other wizards.

This person was even worse than the previous one; he even had problems with daily living and was only a Third-Class Wizard Apprentice.

Because his magical paintings were so useless, he was looked down upon by his neighbors.

One day, because he was desperately short of money and supplies, he stole some Magic Resources from someone else's house. As a result, he was blocked at his own doorstep, where a group of people were beating him and calling him a useless piece of trash.

As Locke described, Queen Pruodimor looked at the third wizard, a genius psychic wizard who became First-Ring Wizard before the age of twenty. His family expected him to develop Spell Model with satisfactory combat power in the field of Mind School phonology, but one day he suddenly fell in love with linguistics, a second-level discipline of General Studies School. He began to devote himself to studying those niche, primitive languages used by only a few people.

His family was horrified by what they saw, even thinking he had gone mad. They pointed at him and yelled, "What's the use of researching that kind of thing? Only researching things that enhance combat power is useful. Other schools of wizards provide direct combat power, but we, the wizards of the Mind School, should research mind magic that can alter the perception of other worlds, secretly modifying other people's minds. That's how we become useful. Mind School magic should have that kind of ability."

Locke walked behind Empress Pruodimor and said, "The Pseudo Forging should have the ability to nurture all life. The world itself is the Pseudo Forging, providing people with life and rest, and all things in nature nourish humanity. The Pseudo-Forging Lord should provide an environment where people can seek Truth-Seeking and strive for improvement. In a world without the Pseudo-Forging Lord, people live in the most primitive world. A person may have the talent to paint, but if he does not have the talent to hunt, he will starve to death."

"A person may have the talent to play moving music, but if he cannot compose battle songs that can enhance people's fighting spirit, then he will starve to death."

"In the days before Pseudo Forging appeared, people needed to be versatile. They had to build their own houses, obtain and process their own food, and be proficient in a variety of things to survive. Therefore, they had no energy to develop and hone their skills. But when a Pseudo-Forging Lord appeared—"

The Constancy vibration between Empress Pruodimor and Locke.

She was disheartened after seeing the first ordinary First-Ring Wizard studied mathematics beaten and left with no recourse. However, an inspector suddenly intervened, re-examining his case and punishing the corrupt judicial officers and wizard guards. At the same time, a relevant wizarding organization recognized his research on fundamental mathematics and offered to fund him.

For the first time, this wizard felt that his life was being valued.

It turns out that he does have a skill that earns him respect.

Then, the Queen saw that the painter who studied magical paintings for people to appreciate had received the help of appreciators who helped him build a gallery. Soon, some wizards who were interested in these aesthetically pleasing works of art were encouraged by the wizard guards to enter the gallery. Although the painter was only a Third-Class Wizard Apprentice, he still gained some social status and a place to stay.

Empress Pruodimor saw a third person who, after being criticized by his family for his useless research into niche languages, showed his parents a competition to decipher a niche language, telling them that the Pseudo-Forging Lord had organized such a competition, and that Pruodimor "recently suddenly needs a reserve of scholars who have studied niche languages."

His parents were skeptical, but they still believed his decision.

Locke walked from behind the witch of Pruodimor to stand in front of her. "The Pseudo-Forging Lord should nurture all living beings, ensure their safety, and lower the living standards of Wisdom beings who originally needed to know everything to survive, helping them to better find the paths that interest them and continuously develop along those paths."

"The Pseudo-Forging Lord was founded to help people Truth-Seeking."

"Therefore, what determines the strength of a Pseudo-Forging Lord is how many people within his Pseudo Forging are truly Truth-Seeking, and how many actually want to Truth-Seeking, rather than merely maintaining his own Constancy."

At this moment, the world turned upside down, and it was the turn of Pruodimor's Pseudo-Forging Lord to fall into Locke's Pseudo Forging World, where she transformed into Locke's Lord of Heavenly Demon.

This is why they are each other's Lord of Heavenly Demon.

If the Heavenly Demon wins, it will become the Pseudo-Forging Lord, while the Pseudo-Forging Lord who was suppressed will become the Lord of Heavenly Demon of the opposing side.

At this time, the Empress of Pruodimor saw a different Pruodimor: there were no more wars of conquest, people lived peacefully and contentedly within society, each pursuing their own interests. Painters were valuable, rhetoricians were valuable, Constructor were valuable, and explorers were valuable. Nature created all things, and Pseudo Forging nurtured people; all things thrived and multiplied.

Pruodimor narrowed her eyes and looked at Locke with surprise.

"This person is young, yet so difficult to deal with. No, a large part of the reason he's difficult to deal with is probably because he has seen worlds constructed by beings of even higher realms. The Wizarding World of later generations must be extremely prosperous, otherwise how could someone his age have such knowledge?"

"They're not easy to deal with."

"It's my turn to make a move."

Pruodimor began to think seriously. She was in a difficult position, but then she suddenly remembered the events of the early days of her reign in Pruodimor. Back then, she had also been kind-hearted. No, to be precise, she still had that kind of kindness now.

Empress Pruodimor said, "Well said. Pseudo Forging should indeed nurture all things. However, the prerequisite is that they must survive."

Your viewpoint stems not from a deeper understanding of Constancy than mine, but from the fact that your environment is absolutely safe, completely different from that of Pruodimor.

The Empress walked behind Locke and said, "Pruodimor didn't have that much leeway back then."

"An overly lenient environment, while fostering a desire for personal growth, attracts more people who are obsessed with appearances. These people, pursuing appearances, flooded into Pruodimor, and soon Pruodimor became a chaotic mess. Not only did the ideal of nurturing all living beings not materialize, but my Constancy was also shaken."

"People who are greedy for small gains will always exist; they will never disappear. All Pseudo Forging have to deal with this kind of person. And the existence of this kind of person makes it extremely easy for a Pseudo Forging to break."

As the Queen recounted, Locke saw countless people pursuing form flooding into his world. Seeing that the painter could receive patronage from admirers, they hurriedly imitated him. Lacking the talent themselves, they practiced, copying his paintings thousands upon thousands of times. They didn't understand what made the paintings good, so they forcibly memorized every detail. Then, a large group of self-proclaimed artistic painters flooded into Locke's Pseudo Forging.

Since they don't have to take responsibility for the results, and can simply dismiss those who point out their flaws with a dismissive statement that they don't understand art, they don't need to undertake dangerous adventures or necessarily achieve any results. So why not imitate this painter and follow the same path?

Then, Locke saw that the wizard who studied niche languages had won first place in the competition and received numerous honors. As a result, a group of people thought that this was a niche field with less competition, so they flocked to it and began to learn niche languages. Soon, the field became chaotic. After a large number of people entered the field, they quickly relaxed, stopped studying niche languages, and even started to do things carelessly to cheat for subsidies.

The Queen walked to Locke's side. "King of Pseudo Forging cannot be protected by mercy and kindness alone. A Pseudo-Forging Lord must at least be able to maintain their own Constancy. Those who want to take advantage will flock to it. Pseudo Forging, as time goes by, will become..."

More and more people are pursuing appearances, and these people who prioritize form will certainly be better at making themselves appear to meet the criteria for receiving funding than those Truth-Seeking.

"Because they only care about appearances, they will always be better performers than those who actually do the work. They will produce irrefutable data, they will spout very reasonable arguments, and they will win victory after victory as if everything is running perfectly. In the early days of my rule, I was as benevolent as you, but I encountered wizards who lied about their achievements, and I ended up with a group of wizards who cheated me out of subsidies. The resources that Pruodimor could use were becoming fewer and fewer."

Pruodimor said, "If it weren't for my decisive action, the glorious Pruodimor might not exist."

"I am a sorcerer of the Mind School, specializing in the Third-Level Discipline of the Mind School [Study of Power and Influence]."

"Power possesses energy; it can suppress the minds of others, influence their decisions, and allow a wizard to command the obedience of others even when they are neither actually stronger nor wiser. I ignited the Light of Mind of the Study of Power and Influence, using this Light of Mind to guide Pruodimor during his weakest early stages, which led to the incomparably powerful Pruodimor you later witnessed."

"If my Constancy had been destroyed by those who pursue form, there would have been no Pruodimor."

Empress Pruodimor looked at Locke: "I used [Light of Power and Influence] to suppress the personalities of the people, lower their realms, and simplify my Pseudo Forging. I prevented the system from becoming more complex, avoiding those branches that depend on the trunk—survival and resource plunder. As Great Wizard of Breeding Science, you should understand that when a tree is sick, it needs its excess leaves, flowers, and fruits removed, as well as its excess branches cut off."

"Only in this way can one survive. The Pseudo-Forging Lord is such an existence, relying solely on himself. The Pseudo-Forging Lord countless people pursuing form will flood into his Pseudo Forging, and these people are better actors than anyone else, and he..."

We may not even realize we're pursuing form. Some people know how they acquire those things, while others, less intelligent in their pursuit of form, mistakenly believe they're making an effort, unaware that every achievement they make doubles the disruption to my Constancy.

The world Locke saw before him gradually began to transform back into the world of Pruodimor.

This indicates that the opponent, as the Lord of Heavenly Demon, has been very successful in attacking the Pseudo-Forging Lord.

As the witch of Pruodimor passed by Locke, she whispered, "There was once a wizard who was very skilled at experimental research, and I believed him. Although much of his research seemed impractical and contained elements of combination invention, I was too young at the time, and I believed that technological reserves were essential. What he did will one day transform into something much more valuable."

"Later I discovered that this highly respected old wizard was actually a person obsessed with form. He kept growing within the system I designed, constantly fulfilling every advancement standard I set. If he produced a result, it meant he had consumed dozens of times the resources required to produce that result. I chose him, a fake talent, while burying hundreds of real talents. And this person even started researching a device that could produce a certain Magic Resources on its own, and then tried to convince me that there was no need for uncontrollable talent, that talent was unstable and no longer valuable—all this nonsense that made me forgive him and let him keep his current position. What utter lies!"

"He thinks I'm as stupid as him, unaware of how many organizations throughout history have declined because they believed the nonsense that talent is no longer important, but resources and opportunities from above are."

"My system has lost the ability to select truly talented people because of people like him."

The Empress pinched the bridge of her nose and said elegantly, "For a time, I even mistakenly thought he was truly talented, and he gave..."

He received honors and awards, but he didn't realize how many resources he wasted, and that most of his achievements were superficial, or even exploited from below.

"I neglected true geniuses because of him; I neglected talented people. All because I spent my days engaging in these superficial things."

o

"From then on, I cut off all the branches, leaving only those that allowed Pruodimor to quickly acquire resources. Therefore, the ability to maintain Constancy is still a true mark of a powerful Pseudo-Forging Lord."

The Queen gracefully raised her chin, looking down at Locke. "Because those who pursue form will inevitably enter into Pseudo Forging, I can only implement a series of corresponding measures. And the situation you described earlier is too idealistic. If it could be done so easily, who wouldn't want to do it?"

Locke realized that the world he was about to see was about to become the Queen's world. He focused all his attention, frowned, and then suddenly said, "That's easy."

"If the problem is merely with those who prioritize form over substance, then as the Pseudo-Forging Lord, I should play my part and devise ways to stop them. I have experience dealing with them."

Augustus and the Genesis Problem involve confronting the dilemma of those who are obsessed with form.

Locke said, "Dealing with those who pursue form is a basic requirement for a Pseudo-Forging Lord. If even this cannot be done, then it means that the Pseudo Forging is too fragile. Or rather, the original purpose of Pseudo Forging was to protect kind and simple people from being harmed by these people who pursue form. Therefore, excellent Pseudo Forging always targets those who pursue form, while protecting kind people from being harmed by contact with them."

"If one day the tables are turned, then this Pseudo Forging will have no reason to exist."

Locke and the Queen locked eyes. At this moment, both of them were highly Mental Power. The Queen was indeed very experienced, and Locke's difficulty was beyond her expectations.

Locke said, "And dealing with those who are obsessed with form is too easy."

Locke continued his description, and as he did, the Queen saw Locke do something in his world of Pruodimor: he erected a sign at the entrance to the world gate of Pruodimor that read, "The Land of Utter Poverty."

Next, they began to have the entire Pruodimor prophecy that it was a land of poverty, and that the world was about to be depleted of resources, its mineral reserves would soon be exhausted, and its dimensional portals and Void Battleship would be difficult to maintain.

As Locke described it, many of those who pursued form began to voluntarily leave this impoverished world.

People who pursue form are mostly just pursuing things that look good.

Some of them don't have any malicious intent; they just can't help but pursue good things. Because they can only see the surface, they often avoid places that are "poor," "evil," "backward," or "uncivilized." So sometimes, it is precisely some places that claim to be barbaric that are actually the most civilized.

Pruodimor was surprised to find that this time, the positions of the Lord of Heavenly Demon and the Pseudo-Forging Lord did not change.

This means that her attack as the Lord of Heavenly Demon against Locke, the Pseudo-Forging Lord, was a failure.

"There really is a way to restrain those who pursue formalities." A look of surprise flashed in Pruodimor's eyes. She couldn't believe that the problem that had troubled her for decades had been solved by Locke in such a simple way.

only--

The Empress's eyes flickered. In the past, Pruodimor claimed to be at the pinnacle of civilization, naturally attracting countless eyes and drawing the reincarnations of many who pursued form. But how could the esteemed Pruodimor himself claim to be a barbaric, primitive, and backward land?

How can this be acceptable?

That won't work.

Locke looked at Empress Pruodimor and said, "This world is the world of the lowest, most evil, and most primitive barbarians. Those who pursue form will naturally avoid this world if they see it so harsh. I also have to thank you for giving me that Supreme Meditation Method, Ice Soul Wind allowed me to come up with this method."

Pruodimor looked at Locke with a questioning gaze.

Locke walked to her side and said, "My Supreme Meditation Method comes from the School of Truth and Goodness of the Four Bright Waters. It mainly uses the life force to create Heart Thunder, transforming oneself into three bodies: present, past, and future. It cuts off the past and future that sever life force, so the Heart Thunder of life force will always eliminate dead ends and destroy bad forms, leaving only forms that are close to life force."

"The Supreme Meditation Method you gave me, ' Ice Soul Wind,' seems to me to be of a lower level than the Supreme Meditation Method of School of Truth and Goodness, and its effects are more limited. It was only after reading this second Supreme Meditation Method that I realized there are different methods for Reduction into Emptiness, each with its own limitations and different levels."

"The Ice Soul Wind' requires one to lower their energy to a minimum and create an extremely harsh external environment. Under these conditions, a mental storm is stirred within, placing oneself in a very dangerous situation. Driven by an urgent pursuit of survival, most of the flawed or unsafe elements are blown away, refining the essence and ultimately returning the heart to nature."

However, the Basic Meditation Method, Advanced Meditation Method, and Superior Meditation Method meditation methods preceding the Supreme Meditation Method are all necessary.

Otherwise, without a clear understanding of oneself, one cannot define the boundaries of oneself, cannot distinguish right from wrong, and is unaware of one's relationship with the world. One only sees oneself, making it difficult to Reduction into Emptiness.

Locke said, "Your Supreme Meditation Method, Ice Soul Wind, and my past experiences have taught me that when an object's energy is at its lowest point and it doesn't appear so magnificent, those who pursue form will discard it like trash and automatically give up. So I was inspired by this and came up with a way to deal with those who pursue form. However, this method still has limitations and can only be used temporarily."

However, we're Discussing Constancy now, and there's no need for a real fight, so it doesn't really matter.

This is just discussing one possibility.

Locke looked at Pruodimor and asked, "Are you convinced?"

"Your Pseudo Forging and power construct the Constancy of Pruodimor, but it seems that your own Constancy is not strong."

The influence of other Pseudo-Forging Lord is so great that even better Pseudo-Forging Lord have left a lingering shadow in Pruodimor. Therefore, while the Pruodimor Wizard Civilization outwardly displays an extreme interest in spreading civilization, it harbors a deep-seated desire for power. The suppression of the beings' realms within the Pseudo Forging realm, and the actions of the Killer in the Duel City, are both extreme manifestations of this Pseudo Forging power Fruit Position reacting to threats.

"After such an extreme manifestation, your Pseudo Forging- Constancy is already precarious. Ultimately, you claim to be maintaining your own Constancy, but I believe the truth is quite the opposite."

"Based on my understanding of your Pseudo Forging of power, it is an idea that arises from the intersection of your Constancy and my Constancy. The positive form of Pseudo Forging of power should be sharing one's glory with the masses, creating a group of people around oneself who share power, and relying on these people to radiate power, using power to subjugate the entire society. The overall structure is that you share your power with certain people, and those people then share their power with those below them, layer upon layer, with each level having its own confidants, and these confidants are the ones who gain power."

"Using Spell Model to transform the Light of Mind, using the Light of Power to intimidate the masses, using the Light of Influence to oppress people, and using circumstances to suppress the Light of Mind —even without laws or morality, society can be maintained, preventing people from fighting and encouraging them to work together for the collective good. This is the most extreme assumption of the Study of Power and Influence within the Mind School. I've learned from reading the Supreme Meditation Method you gave me and from communicating with your Constancy through Constancy. Am I wrong?"

"Leaving aside whether the concept of 'Pseudo Forging and power' is valid—I personally do not agree with it, but I respect it—the positive form of 'Pseudo Forging and power' nurturing all living beings seems completely different from what I have seen of Pruodimor."

"I believe the ability to nurture swarms is the gold standard for Pseudo-Forging Lord's strength. The reason is that Pseudo Forging masters like Pseudo Forging Power are very difficult to nurture swarms. The direction and quantity of nurture are also limited, and even the slightest external fluctuation will cause your Pseudo Forging Power to go to another extreme."

Upon closer examination, Duel City is a rather extreme case arising from this kind of power-driven society.

In the absence of morality and law, relying on the power formed by small groups, they control more small groups and use these small groups to radiate their own power, using the form of their own Light of Mind to coerce everyone.

Locke instinctively wanted to use this angle to demonstrate the fundamental flaw in this line of thinking.

But he quickly suppressed the urge.

Since one is Discussing Constancy with the other party, it is wrong to directly attack the other party's path in the process of Discussing Constancy, and it is forbidden to try to eliminate the other party's Constancy.

If the Lord of Heavenly Demon were to do this, it would easily devolve into Dao Strife between the Pseudo-Forging Lord, rather than Discussing Constancy between the Lord of Heavenly Demon and the Pseudo-Forging Lord.

So Locke stopped working in that direction, but he still used his thinking a little more in that direction: a society formed by such power would easily fall into infighting among small groups.

Each small group has its own power structure, and they even disregard their own interests. In order for their power to continue to intimidate those below them, they must not be outdone by the power of the other group.

Therefore, the ultimate goal of each small group is no longer to safeguard the interests of the collective, but to safeguard the power of the small group itself.

Using Spell Model to convert the Light of Mind into power is like a paper tiger, most afraid of failing to intimidate others. Moreover, the Light of Mind can be used to increase research speed. If one forcibly converts their own Light of Mind into power, then the ultimate goal of each small group will become to try to exchange the Light of Mind for power resources.

To explore new things is seen as a waste of Light of Mind resources.

Small groups need more geniuses to join them, to let the group receive the Light of Mind from these geniuses, to let these geniuses help them increase their power, and to strive to transform that Light of Mind into power and things that bring even more power.

This can lead to the geniuses of society becoming obsessed with converting their Wisdom into power, thus ceasing their pursuit of truth and Truth-Seeking as the act of fools.

But Locke refrained from thinking from this perspective. Discussing Constancy has a theme; it is an experiential technique. He couldn't suddenly deviate from the theme of Discussing Constancy —what to use to judge the the Strongest Pseudo-Forging Lord —and attack the opponent's Constancy entity.

The Lord of Heavenly Demon rarely intentionally disrupts the Constancy of his opponent.

Furthermore, because Pruodimor had other, even more outstanding, Pseudo-Forging Lord, the situation was actually protected by law in the beginning, making the situation even more complicated.

Locke looked at Pruodimor, wondering if she would give up so easily.

After careful consideration, Empress Pruodimor finally spoke, "This method may indeed be effective temporarily. However, those who pursue form are best at imitating these standards, and they will soon discover this deception and swarm in again. In order to maintain its Constancy, the Pseudo-Forging Lord must still try to simplify the situation of the beings within its Pseudo Forging and suppress the levels and realms of these people."

"Make everything simple."

"Secondly, if civilization wants to develop and spread, it cannot always call itself barbarians. It must eventually clarify that we are civilized and let others learn from us. If, after persuasion, they still do not obey civilization, then we must send out a wizarding legion to suppress the barbarians."

Pruodimor, as the Lord of Heavenly Demon, constantly attempts to attack Locke, the Pseudo-Forging Lord.

"Therefore, your method is unacceptable. Moreover, allowing the people of Pruodimor to believe themselves to be primitive and backward for too long will destroy their faith in Pruodimor, and ultimately, the Constancy of Pruodimor will be damaged. Civilization is a matter of dignity, and too many people need this dignity. I have no intention of pursuing dignity, but if I disregard the fact that too many of Pruodimor's subjects need this dignity, then I am tantamount to harming Pruodimor."

At this moment, Locke was under the Queen's attack, and the scene before him kept changing.

Clearly, the other party, as the Lord of Heavenly Demon, is still trying to find loopholes in the Constancy of the Pseudo Forging he described, and wants to make the Lord of Heavenly Demon transform into the Pseudo-Forging Lord once again.

The Queen walked behind Locke and said, "To maintain the Pseudo Forging, society needs to be simplified; to protect our subjects, we can only temporarily appease their evil."

Locke felt a headache coming on; he could sense that the Queen had suddenly changed her strategy. If Discussing Constancy had previously been trying to seriously discuss with me what Constancy was, then in the absence of a victor, my Constancy had still been somewhat nurtured.

Furthermore, I began to learn through Constancy communication, a method I employed.

But this Empress of Pruodimor began to play dirty tricks. She tried to use her vast experience to pull me onto her level in Discussing Constancy. My experience was far too limited; my current knowledge came mainly from recent experiences and magical research.

That's fine. If we continue Discussing Constancy, it will not only be of no benefit to my Pseudo Forging, but it may also give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of my momentary carelessness and defeat me.

Locke knew that Discussing Constancy was a delicate matter, and if he were to say something reckless while exploring the boundaries of Constancy, it would be easy for the other party to find a loophole.

Moreover, the other party wasn't seriously Discussing Constancy at the moment; they just wanted to determine a winner.

Discussing Constancy is a wonderful thing, but if he loses, even if he obtains a Supreme Meditation Method, he will miss out on the world's greatest secret.

I will never know what the Lich God wants to do, what the relationship is between Pruodimor and the God Clan and the Black Sun Tower, and what happened in the Dao Strife of that year.

The Dao Strife depicted on the murals are very simple.

Clearly, the great secrets behind that Dao Strife were oversimplified by Pruodimor.

After careful consideration, Locke concluded that he needed to find a way to end the Discussing Constancy as quickly as possible and win the Discussing Constancy.

What should we do?

Locke fell into deep thought. He had only recently become Moon-Ring Wizard, and his foundation was still shallow. How could he possibly defeat his opponent?

Locke frowned, while the Queen continued her attack. The two argued back and forth, neither able to gain the upper hand.

The Empress, as the Lord of Heavenly Demon, launched a series of attacks.

She changed her tactics, using her greater experience to trap Locke in a situation where he Discussing Constancy on her experience.

Locke suffered many losses because his time as the Pseudo-Forging Lord was too short.

Although the Queen was also very anxious, because she had never been able to wrest the position of Pseudo-Forging Lord from Locke.

Just as Locke was about to fall into an experiential trap, losing his position Pseudo-Forging Lord and becoming the Lord of Heavenly Demon, Locke suddenly felt a surge of Magic Pressure emanating from the Black-Gold Ancient Holy Peach Tree Wizard Robe he was wearing.

Locke stroked the bark of the peach tree with his palm. "Holy Peach, will you participate in this Discussing Constancy?"

Although I'm not entirely sure, the Black-Gold Ancient Holy Peach Tree did indeed exhibit a certain Constancy fluctuation after sensing my pressure. As the Pseudo-Forging Lord, I should trust this fleeting fluctuation. The Black-Gold Ancient Holy Peach is the most outstanding magical plant I have cultivated so far; it is my life's work, my partner, and my ally. Its determination to help me is trustworthy.

Locke pondered, "I've decided to believe it. Let's take the gamble."

Locke knew that if he made the wrong decision in this Discussing Constancy, he might lose his position as the Pseudo-Forging Lord and revert to being the Lord of Heavenly Demon. In that case, it would be very difficult to regain the position of Pseudo-Forging Lord and take the initiative.

However, at this moment he decided to trust his comrade-in-arms.

Locke pondered for a moment, then replied to the Queen, "There is a plant with an extremely interesting ecological strategy. By accumulating and enriching the soil with heavy Magic Metal elements during its evolution, it gains the ability to suppress other types of plants around it, improve the land environment, and protect itself from being devoured by Magic Creature."

"During this process, a new type of Magic Metal is naturally generated around this magical plant, bringing a high-energy object that was originally hidden underground to the surface. This further manifests the rare Mana that was originally invisible in the air into Mana that can be discovered and utilized, transforming it into Magic Pressure Metal. This is the survival strategy of the Black-Gold Ancient Holy Peach Tree."

"Using the Magic Pressure Metal to store energy, the next generation of magic plants and the roots of other magic plants of the same type will entwine and absorb the energy of the Magic Pressure Metal."

"This is an efficient strategy for developing and improving environmental utilization."

Pruodimor narrowed her eyes, a flicker of fear and regret crossing them.

He's introducing other Constancy into the Discussing Constancy. Is this really his first time participating in the Discussing Constancy? Is he deceiving me?

But if this was his first time participating, how could he have mastered such skillful techniques in the Discussing Constancy? In a war of attrition, as a Breeder, he summoned the Constancy of his magical plant companions to join the Discussing Constancy. From then on, he was no longer fighting alone. Although he was alone, he had the entire forest behind him.

Plants cannot speak or move, yet they still possess their own Constancy. This is a skill that only Discussing Constancy can grasp.

What a coincidence!

But if this wasn't his first time participating in Discussing Constancy, why did he seem so unfamiliar with Discussing Constancy before?

Could it be that he made rapid progress while Discussing Constancy?

Pruodimor looked at Locke and took a half step back.

She had heard Lord Dimite say that the Discussing Constancy was discovered by a Moon-Ring Wizard who found a group of Sun-Ring Wizard discussing Pseudo Forging. He observed from the side and summarized it into a set of rules, so that wizards who were not in the Sun-Ring could also use the identity transformation of the Lord of Heavenly Demon and the Pseudo-Forging Lord to complete Discussing Constancy.

But ultimately, this is just imitation of capable people.

However, if someone is already a highly capable individual with the potential to reach the Sun-Ring or Third Ring level of the Tan Heng realm, then even without having studied or been exposed to Discussing Constancy, they can make rapid progress once they start Discussing Constancy Discussing Constancy.

Because the method of Discussing Constancy is something that the Moon-Ring Wizard learned from these people.

Pruodimor began to regret her actions. She had originally intended to bully this young man, taking advantage of his lack of understanding of the concept of Discussing Constancy to recover some of her Constancy from Discussing Constancy. But this man was so difficult to deal with. In the process of Discussing Constancy with me, he instead quickly mastered my Supreme Meditation Method through the interaction with my Constancy, saving her countless hours of hard work in learning.

Moreover, they even mastered the Constancy of magical plants.

Knowing this would happen, she shouldn't have started Discussing Constancy to him. The Empress decided to make full use of her rich experience with the Moon Ring and try to seize the position of the Pseudo-Forging Lord by throwing a flurry of punches at him. Besides, she had created the Duel City and made Pruodimor the the Strongest Fruit Position in order to obtain the Sun-Ring.

This is an extremely powerful Fruit Position.

She decided to try using this Fruit Position to Discussing Constancy with the other party, even though this Fruit Position belonged to the world of Pruodimor and not to her personally. Under the old rules of Discussing Constancy, this would be considered cheating. This was different from the relationship between a magical plant and a wizard who formed Mana Grafting relationship.

Pruodimor covered her right eye with her right hand, and saw that the Black-Gold Ancient Holy Peach Tree on Locke's body seemed to be releasing magical light, expressing her hostility towards her.

She was all alone.

He was just a tyrant.

However, Locke always had his most steadfast allies by his side.

Before the Empress appeared a Black-Gold Ancient Holy Peach Tree growing at the center of heaven and earth; this opponent was attacking her alone with two Constancy.
