Pretending To Be A Boss
Chapter 997 - End: A Clear Day in Two Worlds_4

The massive Ice Peak Mountains collapsed with a thunderous roar, and a figure surged towards the Eden Master with an unstoppable stance.

The strongest punch that once knocked the Eden Master down from the Nine Heavens to the ground came again with a sweeping force!

"Impossible! What is this all about…"

The Eden Master's voice came to an abrupt halt as a terrifying punch pierced through its abdomen.

Tang Xian's face carried an angry and decisive expression.

But what the Eden Master saw was countless shifting faces!

It slowly came to realize the answer.

It was simply unbelievable!

At this moment, it wanted to summon the Spiritual Purgatory, but Tang Xian's punch was countless times stronger than the one before the ice sealing.

Destructive pain rendered the Eden Master incapable of using any means!

[This... why...]

The Eden Master couldn't even speak, it could only communicate with Tang Xian via consciousness.

"Does this scene look familiar? When faced with destruction by a powerful force, ultimately a stronger force comes to save me! You know I've experienced this many times; indeed, I am no longer just myself, but stronger than before."

"There is a gigantic flaw in the world you created."

[Impossible! My world is perfect!]

"You attempted to give consciousness to the world, to make all beings under you a controllable matter."

"You became complacent, believing you are the sole ruler in your world. But have you ever considered, I now have learning abilities tens of thousands of times greater than before! You used my body against me, unaware that I understand this body far better than you!

I didn't inherit the power of the Lost God, nor the Power of Reincarnation; I merely devoured their Soul Crystals and comprehended that power."

"The most crucial thing is, Junlin revealed the true usage of Soul Crystals to me in his world-ending duel with you!"

Upon hearing this, the Eden Master vaguely understood something.

It shook its head in fear.

[How is this possible!]

"So the conditions are all fulfilled, it's time for you to draw your conclusions, isn't it?"

"Under your influence, the world's consciousness can be controlled, and consciousness itself is where the wisdom of beings resides."

"Only you could control them before. Soul Crystals release different powers, channeling the energy of the world through various circuits. It is a kind of code.

Each Soul Crystal has basic and advanced characteristics, like how the Fox Clan can breathe fox fire and the Dragon Clan can control celestial phenomena, while you can manipulate the characteristics of life. But all beasts possess further abilities, namely the deep development of Soul Crystals."

Tang Xian's words made the Eden Master's heart sink even further.

It couldn't imagine there was a being in the world that could see through such fundamental truths.

"And I know my body best, I can recall the feedback from every muscle, every subconscious movement. The Orderer's gray Soul Crystal, its basic characteristic is the force that exhaustively destroys life, and its advanced characteristic is simulation. By observing you, I deduced the method of using the Spiritual Purgatory, although I don't have the basic characteristic of the Nether Phoenix, I can't attract spirits."

"That's why Qi Yuan seeks to obtain the inheritance of all beast gods; if she succeeds, she will possess a power even more terrifying than yours."

"Your greatest mistake was displaying the Spiritual Purgatory right before me. You wouldn't really think that I somehow overlooked your possession of the Nether Phoenix inheritance, would you?"

Although Tang Xian had used the Spiritual Purgatory himself, it was always in a passive state.

In reality, before becoming the Orderer, Tang Xian had never truly comprehended the mysteries of Soul Crystals.

The Eden Master's body was once his own, and after acquiring the computational and learning abilities of the Orderer, Tang Xian, through familiarity with his own body, and from observing the Eden Master perform the Spiritual Purgatory from the Orderer's perspective at close range, cracked the code of the Soul Crystals.

Junlin's legacy of seven days to Tang Xian, along with the insight gained from devouring the Judge and Lost Bird Soul Crystals.

Plus the highly expandable gray Soul Crystal of the Orderer, it granted Tang Xian the insight into decoding the Soul Crystals' code.

Soul Crystals are the pinnacle of wisdom in the great cosmos. This is the gap between the Eden Master's fake world and the real world.

As for why Tang Xian had that dream during the ice sealing.

It was because he truly nearly died, his will was desperately trying to keep him alive.

Memory is a person's most precious thing, those memories once abandoned in the ruins by Tang Xian became his strongest support between life and death.

Here is the God Kingdom, and in the God Kingdom, Li Xiaoyu is always a bug.

Thus, when all other memories had faded over a hundred years, only the praying girl remained constantly by Tang Xian's side.

The Eden Master had understood everything.

Why did Tang Xian observe him using the Spiritual Purgatory?

Because the Spiritual Purgatory relies on absorbing the consciousness of spirits to replenish oneself.

What Tang Xian did was absorb the consciousness of living beings to restore himself. He didn't have the basic characteristic of the Nether Phoenix, couldn't absorb the spirits, but he learned the operational principle of the Spiritual Purgatory to absorb those living beings from the God Kingdom!

So it wasn't that Tang Xian overlooked his possession of the Nether Phoenix laws, but he deliberately allowed him to display such a method.

Those millions of beings imprisoned in the God Kingdom became an unending source of power for Tang Xian.
