Xu Xiao's Dao of Desire was originally based on the Path of True Intent, belonging to the Dao of Will.
At first, he simply regarded this as a path to reflect his true self, because he was a person who followed his heart. The clearer his thoughts were, the greater the power he could extract.
Later, as he explored this path further, Xu Xiao began to comprehend the idea that "all living beings and all things have thoughts," and developed his career according to this idea that influences all things in the world.
Humans need to be fed and clothed, and they need great strength to fill the void in their Mind Stone. All other Zhihui beings have the same needs, even those beings with only basic instincts, such as flowers and grass.
They also instinctively want to grow strong and absorb nutrients.
It's not just humans who have greed, anger, ignorance, love, and hate; from the most basic beings to the highest sovereigns, no one can escape the prison of desire.
However, desire can also be seen as the ladder of progress for all things in the world!
People strive to be well-fed and clothed, and once one desire is satisfied, they naturally pursue the next.
All living beings are the same; they want to dominate everything, to control infinite power, and to learn more knowledge. All of these are driven by desire.
In order to solidify the Divinity of Desire, Xu Xiao directly sacrificed an entire world, igniting the desires of all beings within that world.
Seeking life, seeking death, seeking power, seeking transcendence...
They naturally have their own understanding of how desires influence those in high positions.
Although he couldn't directly take root in a being of equal status like Galactus to draw power, Xu Xiao could make it fight amongst itself.
Insatiable desires!
When the Divine Venerable of Desire, transformed from Xu Xuanpin, entered the body of Galactus, he was not completely crushed by Galactus's devouring power. Rather, he actively decomposed himself and merged into the other's body.
A divine body brimming with the power of rules is a delicious tonic for any being.
While these Marvel deities may be quite wary of malevolent intent and attacks, they pay little attention to energy traps.
Especially for a being like Galactus, which lives by devouring planets, greed is its most fundamental nature.
Greed that exceeds one's control often leads to an endless abyss!
For example, at this moment, the greed amplified by desire within Galactus directly formed a new consciousness, which began to vie for control with His own will.
In the context of the Eastern cultivation world, this situation is known as inner demons, which are the greatest enemy of many cultivators.
"Haha! Don't resist me, I am you, and you are me! Let me dominate this body, let me devour this world!"
The incarnation of Galactus's greed was laughing wildly. Because this being was the embodiment of extreme greed, it didn't even spare the energy that constituted itself.
One cannot become a Buddha without being driven mad by inner demons; this is the fundamental reason why many practitioners fear their inner demons as fierce as tigers.
These desires themselves are nothing when the main consciousness can control everything, but once they are out of balance, the damage they cause can be greater than that of an enemy.
"Damn it! You're the one who plotted against me!"
Galactus glared at Xu Xiao in the distance, but soon he found that the anger within him was also beginning to stir, which frightened him so much that he quickly tightened his defenses.
Greed is troublesome enough; if anger or murderous intent were added, He would absolutely be unable to maintain control of His body.
These consciousnesses, which are manifestations of His own desires, all strive to seize control of the body. Once they succeed, the main consciousness of Galactus will dissipate.
"Don't be impatient. This isn't a battle. Isn't it normal for me to use some tactics?"
Xu Xiao stood there with a smile, his Golden Pupil of Myriad Phenomena his brows still analyzing the state of Galactus.
"There's a 61.735% chance that the Greedy Consciousness will replace the Galactus's Consciousness; there's a 12.782% chance that a new Consciousness will be born within it. As for the probability that the Galactus's Consciousness will overwhelm other desires and take control of itself..."
"Less than 5%"
"Heh heh, so you dared to devour anything, now you've discovered the consequences of being able to eat but suffering from indigestion!"
Xu Xiao completely ignored Galactus's angry glare, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Driven by desire, the Galactus will eventually sprout a new being from its body, and Xu Xiao can take this opportunity to absorb the power of the cosmic deity.
'Unfortunately, we can't completely use Galactus as a vessel for desire, nor can we completely destroy him; his existence is crucial to the Marvel Universe.'
Xu Xiao felt it was a bit of a pity.
He was well aware of Galactus's importance to the Marvel Universe. Although this world frequently destroys the universe or even creates new ones, the fundamental nature of the Five Cosmic Entities remains unshakable.
It's enough to bully Galactus and extract a little power; you shouldn't come here with the real intention of killing him.
Putting aside the fact that it's impossible to completely eradicate a single universe's Galactus, if we're not careful, the other Five Cosmic Entities born with it, such as Eternity and Death, might come out to take sides, and even beings from higher dimensions might cast their gaze down upon us.
"Once things get out of hand, it'll be hard to handle. My main goal this time is to clarify the concepts and incidentally get involved with Marvel."
Xu Xiao muttered to himself, silently watching Galactus's struggle.
A year has passed in the blink of an eye.
For a being like a cosmic deity, even if they were to be plotted against, this short period of time would be considered a critical illness!
During this time, besides watching over the struggle of Galactus, Xu Xiao was manipulating Apocalypse through the Seed of Desire to cause trouble in multiple worlds. Due to the flow of time, some of the seeds planted in the universes had already sprouted and even grown into towering trees.
Before Xu Xiao, the tricked Galactus is now making its final struggle.
On that energy aggregate, which was even larger than a typical star, three consciousnesses now stood in a tripod formation.
"It will devour everything, and all things will be completely consumed!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! I'll wipe out every living creature! You bastards who plotted against me must die!"
"You two damned bastards, I'd rather die than hand over control of my body to you!"
These three consciousnesses attack each other, constantly vying for control of this energy.
Even because of their internal conflict, their power erupted internally, leaving the outer Milky Way largely unaffected.
As an observer, Xu Xiao could see clearly that what appeared to be a three-way power struggle was actually dominated by one entity!
The first to emerge, the greedy Galactus consciousness, occupied more than 70% of the power and continued to squeeze the power share occupied by the other two consciousnesses.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, He will be the ultimate winner!
