Within the pure white space, time seemed to have lost all meaning.
Wu Heng sat cross-legged in meditation, like an unchanging reef enduring the wash of light from all directions and the incessant mental brainwashing of the luminous figure. Praises and exhortations concerning "devotion," "redemption," and "holy mission" continuously emanated from the figure's body, spreading in every direction like background noise.
Yet they were completely filtered out and isolated by his powerful consciousness.
All of his focus was immersed in a deep analysis of the angelic power around him. The power of the Evil Spirit Puppet acted like a precise probe, using its own suppressed "discomfort" as a reference to carefully perceive, record, and analyze this energy attribute, so utterly different from demonic power.
As the analysis began, Wu Heng identified the differences in appearance: angelic power was holy, orderly, and possessed a strong sense of rules and purification, standing in stark contrast to the chaos, brutality, and corrosiveness of demonic power. But that was merely the surface.
As his analysis deepened, he discovered a more profound structure.
These two seemingly opposing powers possessed a startling common origin at their most fundamental level. Like light and darkness, both were essentially electromagnetic waves, differing only in frequency and amplitude.
The underlying "energy particles" and properties that composed angelic and demonic power were similar. One could even say that they originated from the same, older and more essential "source."
The key reason their properties differed so drastically was that part of their "coding" or "polarity" had been set in completely opposite ways.
Just as different arrangements of key base pairs in a DNA chain could result in vastly different biological traits.
This reversely configured structure caused angelic power to tend toward cohesion, order, and purification, while demonic power tended toward diffusion, chaos,
