"If I live, I will die. If I die, I will live."
"This resembles some kind of aberration, but it doesn't come from the Second Personality. The Second Personality cannot affect a true god. Even some powerful Ancient Sages can erase it, provided their willpower is strong enough."
The Death God slowly raised his head, ghostly flames flickering in his eyes.
"But the Heavenly Dao has changed. Everything has changed. Some corruption comes from Sequence Talents."
...The corruption of deities comes from Sequence Talents... Xu Ye was secretly stunned. A single remark had revealed so much useful information.
It matched what the Goddess of Gloom had told Auntie.
Beware of certain Sequence Talents.
If Sequence Talents were corrupted, would any creature possessing them be corrupted too? These Sequence Talents showed no signs at first, but the further one advanced, the more obvious the side effects became.
Suddenly, Xu Ye seemed to grasp something.
The Death God's Dao Guardian, Ron; the Shadow Being, Sophia; and the Betrayer, Athos-these three god-level beings all seemed to have lowered their Sequence ranks. Was it because the Sequences ahead of them had been corrupted?
If that was the case, wasn't the entire world doomed?
Every advancement was a gamble. Who could know whether the next Sequence Talent was corrupted? And after reaching Sequence 4, this corruption from Sequence Talents would exert an increasingly powerful influence on living beings.
The moment you became a god, you were no longer yourself.
"Is there any way to solve the problem with these Sequence Talents?" Xu Ye instinctively asked, his voice urgent.
"There's no way. Perhaps there is, but I've already forgotten. Perhaps what I'm telling you is false, too. Everything is controlled. Everything can be rewritten. Even someone as skilled at escaping as the Illusion Overlord can fall."
