Chapter 608: 557 Erosion One

On the way to the base, Li Chengyi also pondered in his heart. As the number of gangsters he controlled increased, relying solely on the Consciousness Seeds became gradually less effective.

Essentially, he did not enjoy this method of coercion and oppression. After all, he considered himself a kind person.

But the system of the Evil Flower forced him to act this way.

Actually, this wasn’t even the fastest method of control...

While reflecting, he thought of the Evil Flower’s architectural summoning ability that he had never used.

After fusing with the Divine Flower Gourmet, he had gained this architectural ability. Just like summoning the Secret Sword, it required gathering different proportions of Evil Thoughts and corresponding Flowers to successfully summon.

In essence, one should first don the Divine Flower Gourmet, corrupt the surrounding environment into Evil Soil, and then, using the Primordial Soil as nourishment, naturally give rise to the true core buildings—the Royal’s City.

The true nature of the Evil Soil was actually to parasite on a super-large world, absorbing all its Evil Thoughts and converting them into nutrients to grow the pure center—Royal’s City.

This is the reason for the Evil Flower’s notorious reputation and why it was besieged and hunted down.

In its essence, it thrived on pollution and plunder.

’Directly placing a structure in Anze is not ideal, perhaps... I can find a suitable Blind Spot World for an independent summoning.’

Li Chengyi pondered.

’Moreover, the disturbance caused by the Evil Soil is too great. If Royal’s City can be summoned independently, skipping the Evil Soil stage, it should be more convenient. Even though the summoning conditions are a bit more troublesome and require a lot of materials—the total amount of Flowers and Evil Thoughts needed is much larger—it is still better than causing trouble due to the massive presence of the Evil Soil.’

With a plan in mind, Li Chengyi returned to his senses.

His gaze turned toward the direction of the main gate of the base.

The entire base was a temporary storage they had set up here, containing a large number of saplings that had been transported over but not yet planted.

In the dim warehouse, specks of dust softly fluttered in the light.

Whoosh.

Sudden glimmers of light started twinkling in a corner of the warehouse.

In the corner where the light appeared were men and women, old and young, all sharing one common feature.

That was golden eyes.

A total of six people, each with distinct attire and temperament—some looked like scholars, some like chefs, others were innocent children, and there were also stately ladies.

Each one seemed to have a clear and distinct role, easily recognizable at a glance.

"Greetings, Your Highnesses, good afternoon," Li Chengyi said with a faint smile, bowing slightly to the six people.

"It seems that only a few could make it upon receiving the recent news," he said, scanning each of them with his gaze.

These were avatars, representatives of True Gods on earth, human in body but divine within.

To regard them as gods was no different.

"Lord, what instructions do you have for calling us here so suddenly?" The God of Art, an old man in appearance, wearing a long gray scholarly robe, asked in a refined and gentle manner.

"Ah, just a minor annoyance," Li Chengyi replied with a somewhat exaggerated tone, still smiling.

The gods tensed up slightly, sensing a bad feeling.

"May I ask... what troubles you, Lord?" The God of Art persisted, despite the knots in his stomach.

He knew that the seemingly gentle and smiling silver-haired handsome man before him had slaughtered three Divine Realms of True Gods in just a few weeks.

It wasn’t merely killing the True Gods, but completely destroying them along with their Divine Realms, causing them to fall into the deepest depths of the Star Realm.

Even the great resistance and power brought by Divine Fire seemed like nothingness before this man.

As he asked his question, the rest of the deities also stared at Li Chengyi, somewhat nervously.

"Here’s the thing," Li Chengyi continued casually, "I’ve been conducting an experiment recently, and it’s consuming too many materials. Hence, I’m running out. So... I was hoping each of the esteemed lords present could lend me a portion, consider it a temporary loan to me."

"You... what materials do you require? We are naturally willing to lend anything we have," the childlike deity immediately replied.

"Don’t worry... you all definitely have it..." Li Chengyi said with a smile. He scanned the six people, paused, and then opened his hand.

"I would like to ask each of Your Highnesses to share half of your divine duties and bestow them upon me..." His cadenced voice echoed within the warehouse.

At the sound of his voice, the color drained from the gods’ faces.

What is divine duty? It’s the foundation upon which they exist. Sharing half of their divine duties meant that Li Chengyi could create similar deities to replace them at any time.

He could easily achieve this by finding any divine being.

"Lord..." the God of Art began, his voice hoarse as he spoke with difficulty. "Are you joking?"

"Do I look like I’m joking?" Li Chengyi’s smile abruptly vanished.

Hum!!

An invisible, terrifying pressure suddenly bore down on the six gods.

The enormous Consciousness Power enhanced by the Nineteen Seals exerted its influence unadornedly.

This sole Consciousness Power made the gods feel as though they were surrounded by countless Flying Swords, ready to slice down at any moment.

That was a terrifying pressure comparable to medium-grade divine power.

Just this Consciousness Power alone, coupled with this man’s various elusive techniques and the sharp, terrifying lethality of his blades...

The gods fell silent.

Their inner anger rose and fell like waves.

Anger +4.

Anger +5.

Hatred +4.

A series of Evil Thoughts flooded rapidly into Li Chengyi’s mind.

In just a moment, the final segment of the Wisteria’s evolution degree needed was filled, and the sixth evolution was swiftly completed. The Mark of the Evil Flower shone with pure purple light.

"Alright, don’t be so tense, can’t you take a joke?" Li Chengyi watched the six stern-faced gods and suddenly smiled again.

Instantly, the oppressive weight melted away like snow, and the atmosphere lightened up with his expression.

The gods scrutinized his face carefully, confirming that he had indeed been joking, and slowly relaxed.

In an instant, the newly replenished Evil Thoughts were solidified, and Li Chengyi had achieved his goal.

"Well, the reason I called you all over this time is just to check on everyone’s emotions and see how you’re doing. After all, having just joined the same organization, we should all love and help each other, becoming a family that supports one another," he concluded.

Li Chengyi spoke some nonsense, casually making up an excuse.

"Alright, you can go now," he waved his hand.

At that moment, the Six Gods finally relaxed their tensed nerves slightly.

Once they were certain they could leave, they bowed to Li Chengyi one after another, eager to transform into faint light and disappear from sight.

Leaving Li Chengyi alone, he reached out to touch the Mark of the Evil Flower on his hand.

’Wisteria Flowers: Sixth evolution progress 100%, Evil Thoughts 100%. Final Ultimate Form evolution imminent, would you like to initiate?’

Is the seventh the Ultimate Form?

Li Chengyi felt a tinge of regret in his heart. He had thought that the Wisteria Flowers could continue to evolve with additional Divine Flower Positions, but now, it seemed that there was an end to it after all.

He glanced at the Evil Flower shining with purple light and made his decision with certainty in his heart.

Hiss.

Instantly, a beam of purple light irradiated brightly, spreading swiftly from the Mark of the Evil Flower, enveloping Li Chengyi’s entire body.

A sensation unlike any previous Floral Dress evolution surged through his heart.

This evolution was also strengthening his physical body and Consciousness Power.

The extent of this enhancement was not substantial, but it was incredibly balanced, almost feeling like a 0.5 Origin Seal upgrade in every aspect of the body.

And the Flower Language Technique, too, underwent an unusual change during this new evolution.

In the bright purple light, the Hand of Eternal Slumber, which had been quiet, received further enhancement.

’Hand of Eternal Slumber: Anything you touch may enter Eternal Slumber, not limited to living beings.

(Eternal Slumber: Internal particle activity temporarily ceases, current highest probability: 50%.)

(Note: Abilities related to causality and fate may resist this power.)’

’This ability...’ Li Chengyi was slightly surprised, feeling from the description alone that something was amiss.

This power seemed slightly overbearing.

Because according to all the explanatory information, it made no mention of differences in power levels.

That is to say, as long as the opponent doesn’t possess abilities of the causality and fate category, regardless of their power, they must face the chance of entering Eternal Slumber by fifty percent.

Of course, the precondition was that he needed to touch them.

’Next, it’s just a matter of seeing how common abilities related to causality and fate really are... If they’re not common, then the practicality of this Flower Language Technique will be quite significant,’ he contemplated while standing inside the warehouse.

A flash of dark light, and in the blink of an eye, he left the stronghold and appeared in a bustling district, hidden in a corner.

The shadows concealed the motion of his Shadow Flash, the ability to hide in shadows and mask his presence, once belonging to the King of Shadow Dragons, had been separated out by him, slightly adjusted to allow for hiding in shadows anytime, anywhere.

This adaptation wasn’t as potent as the Shadow Spring, but it was silent and swift.

The activation time for the concealment was several times faster than before, having reached a level undetectable by ordinary people.

Observing the carefree, ordinary crowd coming and going on the street, Li Chengyi slowly stepped out of the corner and approached a bus station entrance.

Not long after,

a disabled dwarf holding a wooden bowl appeared before him.

The dwarf lay on the ground, appearing like a seal, covered in darkness and filth, and emitting a foul stench when approached.

His scalp, devoid of hair, merged sweat and dirt, presenting a particularly disgusting sight.

However, his eyes were gentle and steadfast as lake water, like a beautiful gem revealing itself amidst the mud.

Li Chengyi was satisfied; this was the key to the completion of his twentieth Sublimation.

His lips moved slightly.

Soon, a faint cry for help came from a corner nearby.

"What are you doing?!" A girl’s voice sounded,

Anxious, terrified.

Li Chengyi skillfully flicked his finger, allowing the sound, shrouded with an aura of death, to be directed precisely to the dwarf’s ears.

At first, the dwarf didn’t react, but as the sound grew louder, confusion crossed his face.

Soon after, he became anxious, put down the wooden bowl, and hurriedly moved towards the direction of the sound.

He had a small wooden skateboard with four wheels to assist his swift movement across the ground.

Now, the dwarf lay on the skateboard and rushed towards the source of the sound in the corner.

In a short moment, roars of anger and cries of pain followed.

Then, the girl’s terrified screams.

Li Chengyi’s heart stirred slightly, and wisps of the Sword of Wisdom’s sword energy silently flew over to aid the dwarf, ensuring no accidents occurred.

About a few minutes later,

the dwarf’s Consciousness Power suddenly surged, starting to experience the subtle changes that come before Sublimation.

Li Chengyi was elated, feeling corresponding changes in his own Consciousness Power as well.

This change was so significant that a couple more instances could lead to a transformative Sublimation and the formation of a new Origin Seal.

’The Thousand Face Sword Canon is really convenient... Without any True Yuan fluctuations or cultivation ripples, merely relying on parasitic emulation, it can transform and sublime... Ancestor Chi Yuan, the creator of this technique, was truly a peerless genius.’

Li Chengyi reflected with admiration.

Not long after that, he saw the dwarf and a slightly portly girl walk out of the alley together, with the girl’s face streaked with tears, continuously thanking the dwarf for his help.

The dwarf’s face showed an indescribable strange expression, as if it were adorned with an invisible brilliance, somewhat dazzling and radiant.

’Good child, once you help me form the Origin Seal, I’ll cure your hand and foot disease and fulfill the deepest desires of your hearts,’ Li Chengyi thought with a smile, disappearing into the darkness.

At this moment, he was increasingly unconcerned with external filth and ugliness, valuing instead the purity and beauty within.

After all, everything external was easily within his grasp, changeable at will, but the inner qualities were like the rarest and most beautiful jewels in the world, scarce and exquisite.

Returning to the office in high spirits, he once again observed the Shadow Dragon Prison in the room.

"Hmm?" There seemed to have been a subtle change at the entrance point to the space.
