Another Chance to Change Fate Now Lay Before the Steel Plate

"This is a new Divine Ability Thought Splitting I created based on the Little Puppet's Spirit-Splitting Technique and the Immortal Realm's mind- Possession Art."

While stroking the Puppet Venerable's head, Bai Qiuran explained to Jiang Lan and the others, "Although Little Puppet's Spirit-Splitting Technique allows one Consciousness to control multiple bodies simultaneously, it requires that the body itself does not contain other Souls. However, the Consciousness Demon is a creature that combines spirit and will, similar to Souls, so her Spirit-Splitting Technique is ineffective Consciousness Demon it. While Thought Possession can take over the Consciousness Demon's body, it causes our mind to leave the original body, turning the original body into a vegetative state with a soul and spirit but Consciousness. Neither of these methods is suitable for dealing with Consciousness Demon, so I combined the two and secluded myself for more than ten years to create this Thought-Splitting Technique."

He looked to one side, and the Wooden Puppet on the other side walked towards him and stood beside him.

"Once you master the art of Thought Splitting, and combine it with Thought Possession, you can make the Consciousness Demon born from your thoughts work for you. You will have two bodies, one physical and the other Consciousness Demon. The physical body walks in the Material World, while the Consciousness Demon occupies the Consciousness Domain. Moreover... the combat ability and potential of the Consciousness Demon should not be underestimated. They are no less powerful than us. The top Consciousness Demon on the other side of the Consciousness Barrier are no less powerful than my unworthy disciple."

After a pause, Bai Qiuran looked at Tang Ruowei and added a sentence.

"I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about your second and third junior brothers. You're not qualified."

"I know!"

Tang Ruowei flew into a rage and replied angrily.

"However, if you can learn this, your strength might surpass that of your second and third junior brothers in a short period of time."

Bai Qiuran explained, "After all, Consciousness Demon only needs willpower to grow stronger. If you have enough willpower, there won't be any bottlenecks in Consciousness Demon growth. Besides, Ruowei, the physical form of Consciousness Demon is closely related to your thoughts, you understand?"

In terms of talent and comprehension, Tang Ruowei is definitely very impressive compared to her peers, but compared to Li Jinyao, Su Xiangxue, and Jiang Lan, she is indeed much inferior.

The latter two have lived longer, experienced countless battles, and seen everything. Their knowledge and experience surpass Tang Ruowei's, and their thinking is more mature. The former, on the other hand, was born with a cheat code that she had paid for, so there's no way to compare.

However, when it comes to talent and aptitude in Tang Ruowei's ultimate dream, let alone Li Jinyao, even if you tied up three girls, they still couldn't beat her.

So after hearing Bai Qiuran's words, Tang Ruowei reacted within seconds, her beautiful eyes sparkling with hope for life.

"Master."

She bowed to Bai Qiuran and said sweetly, "This disciple wishes to learn this."

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Bai Qiuran gave her a thumbs up.

"Since you want to learn, of course I will teach you. I'll teach you this when we get back."

After hearing Bai Qiuran's explanation, Jiang Lan understood. She blinked and then asked Bai Qiuran, "Qiuran, are you trying to fight poison with poison?"

"That's right."

Bai Qiuran nodded and said, "If only Consciousness Demon can deal with Consciousness Demon, then we should become Consciousness Demon."

"Then I want to learn too."

Jiang Lan said earnestly, "I also want to lend you a hand."

"Of course, no problem. Anyone who wants to learn can learn."

Bai Qiuran agreed while glancing at the Wooden Puppet beside her.

Now that the Thought Splitting had succeeded, the Wooden Puppet was no longer of any use. He raised his hand and shattered the Wooden Puppet with a single blow, simultaneously annihilating the Souls within Wooden Puppet.

This Souls was not his; it was a blank Souls used for experimentation, devoid of Consciousness. He had obtained it from the Heavenly Dao by activating the spell "Bargain with Heaven."

The Heavenly Dao gave him the method to create Souls, but the price he paid was the supernatural Divine Ability of Thought Splitting his mind.

As the Wooden Puppet was destroyed, Bai Qiuran's perception of Wooden Puppet also vanished.

It seems that the destruction of the clone will not have any effect on my original Souls, body, or mind...

Bai Qiuran silently noted this question in her mind, then said to Jiang Lan and the others, "This is temporarily finished. Lan'er, let's go back first. Little Puppet, here are two Divine Ability methods for Thought Splitting techniques. Take one and send it to the Great Library for safekeeping. It can be copied, handwritten, and accessed by any Subjects of the Underworld Ghost Realm. As for the other one, have someone send it to the Central Immortal Realm and personally deliver it to the First Immortal Emperor or the Central Immortal Emperor."

"I see."

The Puppet Venerable accepted the two manuals on cultivating Divine Ability powers and replied.

In fact, Bai Qiuran's plans and ideas went far beyond that.

When he created the Thought-Splitting Technique, he considered many other things besides how to eliminate the Consciousness Demon.

For example, the further development of the Immortal Realm, the further improvement of Cultivators' combat power, and how to make the Consciousness Domain and Consciousness Demon harmless and usable by all living beings.

As the saying goes, "The work of a sage is what matters." Bai Qiuran believes that anything in this world, as long as it has the heart, can benefit the people.

During his seclusion, he also considered this issue and maintained his observation of the world that was initially eroded by the Consciousness Domain. Through his observation of the Blood Hatred Consciousness Demon within the Consciousness Domain of that world, Bai Qiuran gained Spiritual Sense.

In that world, although the Blood Hatred Consciousness Demon could no longer directly interfere with the Material World, it still established a Religious Sect among the people through methods such as entering dreams or manifesting illusions.

Within that Religious Sect, those who worship its ideology and regard it as a god provide it with the means to grow, and naturally, the Blood Hatred Consciousness Demon also bring benefits to these believers.

Although its followers are ignorant, they are not completely stupid. This Religious Sect is not the kind of casual Religious Sect where people think, "It doesn't cost any money, so why not give it a try?" They can even betray the sect in front of the True God without any consequences.

The Blood Hatred Sect a lifelong membership; once you join, you remain a member even in death. If there were no benefits, why would anyone follow it?

Bai Qiuran also saw those benefits. The Blood Hatred Consciousness Demon was Consciousness Demon born from war. It possessed concepts such as war, hatred, and mass death. In addition, it devoured the Pleasure Consciousness Demon, so it also possessed the concept of the Pleasure Consciousness Demon.

Believers who adhere to a particular concept will naturally receive some benefits as long as their faith is firm and devout.

For example, believers in war will have bigger fists, stronger bodies, and will grow stronger faster through cultivation. Meanwhile, those who believe in the concept of romantic relationships will, over time, experience a significant improvement in their appearance.

Of course, in Bai Qiuran's view, this slight improvement was merely a passive effect of the Blood Hatred Consciousness Demon. In order to go further, the followers would have to do something to please the Blood Hatred Consciousness Demon.

For example, they might instigate a war to recruit more people into the religion, or hold a bloody feud, or a joyous banquet, and so on.

If believers successfully please the Blood Hatred Consciousness Demon, the Blood Hatred Consciousness Demon will also give them benefits, such as making them stronger, more handsome, and more beautiful. In addition, there is an even more advanced way of bestowing gifts.

If the believer's performance greatly satisfies the Blood Hatred Consciousness Demon, then it will establish a peculiar connection with the believer. Through some kind of power, it will twist and transform the believer's soul into a Consciousness Demon. After the transformation is completed, even the believer's physical body will be twisted and transformed into a monster. They can instantly obtain the most powerful force in that world.

Moreover, even if their physical bodies are killed, they will not truly die. Their souls will return to the Consciousness Domain, to the side of the Blood Hatred Consciousness Demon, where they will become true Consciousness Demon and become immortal. No matter how many times they die, they can return to the Consciousness Domain to be resurrected.

This method was referred to by Bai Qiuran and Wisdom Immortal as "Demon Ascension".
