Abandonment II

Wandering in the void, Lin Hui felt the Wind Energy that was constantly and naturally generated within his body. He no longer needed to devour external objects to increase his Wind Energy, nor did he need to consume the power of complexity to increase it. Instead, the Wind Energy and he himself were part of the power of complexity, and they could naturally and continuously increase on their own.

As the destructive force increases, a balance is reached.

He looked down at the battleground between himself and the Source Disaster the Wind Disaster disaster. From here, the huge blue Wind Energy was like a disc, rotating, grand and majestic, surrounded by patches of different colors representing the other Source Disaster.

The area at the bottom, which was hit by the Wind Disaster, is now being rapidly eroded, with very little remaining.

It seems like comparing it to Wind Energy is like comparing an egg to a bathtub.

Inside the Wind Disaster zone, at the instant Lin Hui achieved True Heavenly Venerable status, the Wind Energy surged, and the area it could rely on for support from other regions was now barely maintained.

Lin Hui reached out again, and a white-haired cultivator with blue eyes appeared in front of him.

This is the Fusionist, and also the new individual he intends to test again to see if he can save it.

"Let's see if we can succeed this time..."

The achievement of True Status brought Lin Hui a terrifying power that was completely unreasonable, increasing everything around him.

The power of complexity has yet to encounter a bottleneck; it can increase the weight of any power out of thin air.

This is a terrifying Source Energy capable of transforming everything.

After capturing the man, Lin Hui did not continue his attack, but instead turned his attention to the small area at the bottom where the Wind Disaster had only just occurred.

"Go." He pointed.

The already enormous Wind Energy zone suddenly expanded dramatically. The total amount of Wind Energy increased tenfold at this moment, and it is still multiplying rapidly.

Lin Hui unreservedly converted all the Prosperity Power he could currently convert into Wind Energy.

Wind Energy is already considered part of the power of prosperity, and it is growing rapidly. Now it is being transformed again, with even more amazing effects.

Instantly, in the void surrounding the Wind Energy war zone, a mixed storm of Disaster Energy and Wind Energy swirled rapidly, reigniting a new war.

The Resistance Army and the Fusionist monsters began fighting again.

The abnormal expansion and enhancement of Wind Energy caught the Fusionist off guard, leaving them suddenly surrounded and weakened by Wind Energy, and they quickly suffered a series of defeats.

Lin Hui ignored the bacterial-like struggle and instead flashed forward, directly bringing the fused elder to the last remnant of the rapidly shrinking Wind Disaster.

"This is just a small area here, yet it's so troublesome and difficult to eliminate. There are many other areas in the outside world with similar Wind Disaster zones..."

Gazing at the Wind Disaster area, Lin Hui felt a strange mix of emotions.

Time passed slowly.

Soon, the Wind Disaster below shrank until it began to reveal a texture like a deep blue stone wall—the area of Stagnant Storm.

Soon, the Stagnant Storm area, like melted grease, quickly disappeared and decomposed.

Then, a burst of intense blue light exploded.

The familiar, violent lightning exploded in Four Faces, once again pushing away the surrounding Wind Energy that was trying to close in.

This is because the internal Catastrophe Belt has been eroded and peeled away.

Lin Hui watched silently as countless enormous monsters, resembling lightning goddesses, leaped out, along with terrifying Wind Disaster monsters comparable to small worlds, all rushing out. Even the giant beast he had once commanded, the Dissolving Whale, appeared one after another.

They rushed frantically towards the Wind Energy area, but were forcibly blocked, eroded, transformed, decomposed, and dissipated by the massive Wind Energy in the next second.

In just a short while, these enormous beasts disappeared, enveloped by an increasingly terrifying amount of Wind Energy.

After the Catastrophe Belt, the Wind Disaster suddenly burst and shrank rapidly, like a soap bubble, before disappearing completely.

At the same time, Lin Hui suddenly felt his efforts come to naught, and all the Wind Energy- driven progress accelerated directly to completion.

"Give up?" Lin Hui was surprised. He did not feel the final struggle of the Wind Disaster. Instead, it was as if he had punched cotton and missed.

Although the Wind Energy spread out and had no opponents, it was left only to be besieged by the remaining Source Disaster.

But the intensity of those struggles is far less brutal than that between Wind Energy and Wind Disaster.

Lin Hui's senses expanded, Wind Energy he discovered that there were now countless Wind Energy cultivators. These cultivators, carrying his power, traveled far and wide, traversing countless dimensions, and had already spread to extremely distant regions.

Soon, he found a new area affected by the Wind Disaster. The Wind Energy rapidly expanded and spread towards that area, starting a new battle.

The war between Wind Energy Wind Disaster has gradually evolved from large-scale regional confrontations into a multi-point, dispersed conflict.

He could only keep searching, devouring, and searching again... repeating this process.

The core of his fighting force is the Phantom Vine Celestial, who is constantly multiplying his army at the core of the Wind Energy.

Lin Hui traveled and searched, and as he dealt with the dense Wind Disaster, the Fusionist he was holding was also constantly eroded and transformed by the Wind Energy, becoming a mixture of the two forces, as everything changed.

Lin Hui kept him around so that he could observe the current situation of the Wind Disaster through the spontaneous changes in the Fusionist body.

This is a protracted war with no one knowing the outcome.

Source Disaster are everywhere, naturally arising from the gaps in the rules, and they are endless and impossible to eradicate. If Lin Hui wants to forcibly replace its position, he must forcibly change the scale of Wind Energy and Wind Disaster.

As time passed, the volume of Wind Energy grew increasingly terrifying. Wherever Lin Hui could reach in the Black Domain void, all Wind Disaster were now replaced by Wind Energy.

However, he still did not sense any weakening of the Fusionist's core strength. This meant that the Wind Disaster still had a huge base of support in the extremely distant void.

At this very moment, tens of millions of years have passed around everything around us.

Clear Jade Mountain.

Yun Xiazi slowly sat down cross-legged, gazing at the thousands of disciples and followers before him, his heart devoid of sorrow or joy.

Having cultivated to this point, she was already close to her limit and knew she had no way to advance further. She could only struggle at the Colloidal Dissociation for so many years.

"I... I'm going to die..." Yun Xiazi's white hair hung low, her face still as pure as before, but her soul had long since Decay.

"I am about to... return to the embrace of the Ancestral Master... The increase and decrease of all things have their own mysteries... You must not be lazy and shirk your duties as before... Without supervision, listen more to the teachings of your Martial Aunt Yuexiu..."

She raised her head, refusing to look at her tearful disciples.

Her life was nearing its end, and her soul Decay. The only reason she had lived this long was because Lin Hui used Wind Energy to transform them into Fusionist, forcibly prolonging her life.

"Grandmaster!!"

"Teacher!"

The sound of sobbing came from Four Faces, and the intense sorrow was like an ocean tide, almost drowning her.

"How so?"

Just as Yun Xiazi slowly closed her eyes, an extremely familiar voice rang in her mind.

"Teacher..." Yun Xiazi suddenly opened her eyes wide, and in a daze, she saw a huge white-clad figure floating in the sky.

It was teacher Lin Hui.

"Why choose to give up? With me here, you can live forever without worrying about your lifespan," Lin Hui asked calmly.

"... Disciple..." Yun Xiazi opened her mouth, only to find herself floating, in an abnormal state where she could actually detach from her body.

"I have tried everything I could, but there is still no hope... I have reached the end of the road..."

She didn't hide anything and recounted all her previous efforts and attempts.

Repeating and repeating again, with endless resources and countless methods, yet ultimately, when faced with the realm Colloidal Dissociation, they were still helpless.

Every failure, every time the deadline approached, he relied on Lin Hui's strength to start over.

But the further she progressed, the more her spirits waned, and the less she seemed able to break through.

Ultimately, when all hope seemed lost, Yun Xiazi chose to give up.

Lin Hui could see and understand everything that happened to her.

It was a faint sense of helplessness, a profound weariness, and a feeling of relief.

"Teacher, I have disappointed you..." Yun Xiazi said softly.

"Then take a good rest. There will be other opportunities in the future..." Lin Hui said calmly.

Looking at Yun Xiazi's aged and Decay soul, he gently touched it.

The Celestial Venerable's power instantly sealed it away, preserving it within the seal.

Yun Xiazi's body transformed into a streak of blue light, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the endless Wind Energy in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the Yunxia disciples who were sobbing uncontrollably, Lin Hui understood that for them, whether Yun Xiazi was resurrected or not, they would never see her again.

Lin Hui could only guarantee that the few people in the core circle of Clear Jade Mountain would live forever. As for the rest, those on the outer edges... he couldn't protect that many.

Everything that increases must also decrease, and vice versa.

If he wants to ensure that someone here will live forever, then somewhere far away, there must be a place that is constantly diminishing in order to maintain the eternal existence of this place.

For these less talented disciples and their descendants, their lives might last for millions of years, or even just tens of thousands.

This was their final farewell to Yun Xiazi, and sadness was inevitable.

Lin Hui then turned his attention to sensing the other two.

Xia Si and Lin Yuexiu are his only two remaining disciples. As for the others, he is a generation removed from them and no longer close to them.

Now, Xia Si Sicheng sits on the edge of the war zone, meditating in seclusion, trying to comprehend all things and break through the Colloidal Dissociation.

Lin Yuexiu fared slightly better, successfully breaking through, but she also entered the limit of her spiritual life.

"It seems that ever since they were unable to break through any further, everything was already predetermined. No matter how much they cultivate afterward, it will all be in vain." Lin Hui suddenly seemed to realize something.

Logically speaking, with his support, endless resources, and precise insights and summaries, Xia Si and Lin Yuexiu shouldn't have only reached this level, but... that's just how it is.

The Supreme Omniscience Seal and the True Heavenly Venerable Venerable's inherent immense analytical abilities instantly yielded the results.

"This is a connection..." Mu Cheng Jiang appeared behind Lin Hui. "My disciples back then were the same. If resources and experience could be passed down, so many forces wouldn't have disappeared into the vast void."

He gazed at Lin Hui's retreating figure with a complex expression.

The two floated in the void, experiencing everything together in a dimension imperceptible to everyone else.

"Yes... connecting... breaking through realms, why is the success rate highest on the first try? I see..." Lin Hui sighed.

"The continuity of thought and cognition determines this. Every living being is essentially a dynamic balance model of forgetting and adding new memories. It constantly forgets and constantly creates new memories. And the longer it takes to break through a realm, the more difficult it is to connect the past and the future. This is because this continuity will be broken over time... This is exactly what is needed most to break through a realm..." Mu Cheng Jiang explained.

"The past self, the present self, and the future self are all three separate individuals. That's the principle. All things in the world undergo metabolism, which is no different... Unless one reaches the level of a Celestial Venerable, everyone will eventually face this situation."
