215: Chapter 196: Extraordinary 215: Chapter 196: Extraordinary “…This is quite a dilemma for me.” Although he said this, while looking at the system prompts that filled his screen, Lu Ping’an felt a subtle sensation. […..Evolution completed, congratulations to the host, obtaining the Body of Black Iron (Ten Thousand Spirits), becoming a true Extraordinary.] This was the prompt that he initially received. At the time, Lu Ping’an was more focused on the “comprehensive enhancement of life system abilities” it provided and didn’t realize the need for the system to congratulate him. That “true Extraordinary” at the end of the description glanced over at the beginning, and looking back at it now, it is even more commendable. “Before this step, I could still only be a Mortal?” The system’s arrogance is exactly like that of the big cat. But now, the new prompt is even more subtle. [Facing Divine Grace while maintaining selfhood, congratulations to the host, obtaining the Body of Ten Thousand Spirits (Black Iron), becoming a true Extraordinary.] The previous body was a Black Iron level Extraordinary that had some trace of Ten Thousand Spirits. Now, the Black Iron Lower Level has indeed reached the body composed of Ten Thousand Spirits. From “Extraordinary” to “Extraordinary”… Lu Ping’an seemed to vaguely see the system’s mockery. “…Am I not even human anymore?” [Congratulations to the host, after painstaking training, your basic attributes have increased greatly!] [Current status: Physique (Black Iron middle-rank), Reflex (Black Iron Lower Level), Spirit (Upper Black Iron)] Except for the unchanged Reflex, both Spirit and Physique have taken a large step forward. Especially the core attribute of Spiritual Power as a Gardener, this increase is delightful. Looking at the bedhead steel bar in his hand that easily bends with a twist, Lu Ping’an casually twists it back… He feels that he can beat his past self to a pulp with just brute force. Although Physique didn’t reach the Upper Black Iron, Lu Ping’an just did some minor training and found that the increase in basic physical strength was also extremely terrifying. The gains are tremendous in bits and pieces, and even the forbidden knowledge and reading and writing abilities of Scholars have risen a lot, opening the door to convenience for future Advancement of Contractors. Unlike the previous prompt “Body of Black Iron (Ten Thousand Spirits)” full of patches and uncertain numbers, this time the description of the Body of Ten Thousand Spirits is much simpler, but it makes people think more deeply. [Body of Ten Thousand Spirits (Black Iron): You have seen the source of all things, and you have heard her voice. In the mortal world, you are the master of life, the executor of the sublime will, and one of the favorite children of the Mother of all things…] A very subtle description, especially the “one” at the end, the malice is simply overflowing. Thinking of the “love and affection” shown by the Church of Life and life professionals these days, Lu Ping’an feels more and more subtle. [Blessing of Ten Thousand Spirits: Greatly increase the life system abilities, greatly enhance the resistance to life system/death system attacks, reduce or even ignore low-level life/death system curses and costs (below the level of your Body of Ten Thousand Spirits).] A very simple and direct effect, but Lu Ping’an strangely feels a bit familiar. “…Isn’t this a variant version of the cost of my Life Bank?” At the same time, perhaps due to the effect of this ability, Lu Ping’an is surprised to find that the effects of several of his abnormal abilities have increased greatly, to the point where they are completely incomprehensible, and the core ability has evolved straightforwardly. [Middle Brass Abnormal Ability, Life Affinity (Passive permanent): Increase your affinity with the power of life, increase your affinity with polluted life, increase ‘Life Perception’ and other life…] This original Gardener… No, the core ability of the life system has directly risen from the Black Iron Lower Level to the Middle Brass, resulting in a comprehensive improvement. There may not be a direct increase in combat power, but this improvement in basic abilities and foundation is so great that Lu Ping’an is a little scared… “3%.” In response to Lu Ping’an’s inquiry, the big cat spoke a number. “What does it mean?” “Under normal circumstances, the chance for an idiot to explore the origin on his own without any divine guidance and really reach the other side without dying or going mad.” “You wanted to harm me?” Although it’s a question, it’s said with a casual affirmative tone. “I said without guidance… Didn’t I guide you?” The big cat’s inexplicable guilty conscience, but still stubborn. Upon hearing this, Lu Ping’an nodded silently. He didn’t ask about the survival rate with “guidance”, but it should not be much higher than 3%. However, he underestimated himself. Possessing a reduced version of the Body of Ten Thousand Spirits was the main reason why the cat ultimately guided him in that direction. Having four options at the “dyeing” stage was a clear display of favor from the higher dimensions… The cat had at least a fifty percent chance of believing that he would survive among the 3%. In the room, he waved his fists and kicked his legs, and Lu Ping’an felt his body in a state of unprecedented wellness. But instead of physical and strength improvements, what he was more delighted with was his recognition of the “truth”. Now, he could understand many of the seemingly incredible and even unreasonable phenomena from the past. Primitive pollution was disorderly and chaotic, and the so-called “purification” by the gods was just endowing it with a layer of “order” that belonged to intelligent beings. In a sense, the terms “water purifier” and “reflector” were quite fitting. Talent abilities were chaotic, while professional abilities were orderly. Why were the professional systems of professionals so intricately connected to real society? Because “thought”, “thinking”, and “civilization” themselves are a kind of order. The deities, or some other entities, transformed the murky and unbearable primitive pollution into a supernatural force with order and control by “naming” and “imparting the concept of human society”. “No wonder the Scholar profession is so special; it doesn’t rely on the power of any deity. It is the embodiment of intelligent beings transforming the outside world.” The change in self-awareness brings about comprehensive improvement. Lu Ping’an could faintly see numerous paths finally opening up to him. Finally, he could understand what the Church of the Mother Goddess was and why those guys would fight desperately to live or die.”The Mother Goddess is loving. She loves all her children and sincerely hopes to see them shine brilliantly. When they are tired and weary, she takes them back into her embrace, enveloping them in a new cycle of reincarnation…” If it weren’t for truly witnessing the Ten Thousand Spirits, Lu Ping’an might have believed the cat’s nonsense. This was her understanding of the “source of life” and the fragment of truth she obtained after blindly groping around. Is it true? Yes. Is it the whole truth? Of course not. Is it a perfect reproduction? No one who has taken drugs would say that. Does she believe it herself? She tries hard to hypnotize herself into believing it. Perhaps, in her “real” eyes, there is a Tree of Life that constantly secretes spores. These spores then drift off to various planets and quickly grow into small saplings, which are later harvested by the Mother Tree. While saying this, Lu Ping’an’s malice almost overflowed, but the cat didn’t bother to refute it. The description shared is one aspect, but the “truth” in the images and memories is what resonates with the source of life and serves as the basis for further progress. “You have to see what’s above before you can further climb higher.” Recognition is the first and most challenging step in understanding. Perhaps, mortals, professionals, Divine Envoys, and deities are all doing the same thing: climbing towards higher “positions”. In fact, when deities express their understanding of the “truth” in words and teachings, they form the cornerstone of the career paths of their subordinates. In this process, deities expound on their understanding of the “root source”, and others can also climb up using this rope as guidance. But once they reach a certain level, they naturally reach the top… The big boss is waiting above. The bloody competition between similar deities becomes easier to understand. Since everyone is climbing the same rope towards the top, it’s natural to kick off their opponents for a smoother ascent. “…Is this how it works?” Lu Ping’an asked directly, but the cat shook her head. “No, it’s more complicated and cruel than that. What you said is too simplistic. However, using language and analogies you can understand, you can also snatch away the ropes of the other side and combine it with yours, capturing their truth and making up for the missing pieces of your own.” The cat sighed helplessly, for in a sense, she had already fallen into the abyss. “From the perspective of others, I have fallen from the Tree of Life’s ascent, but my position remains. Naturally, there are people who want to get my ‘truth’, directly take my position, and inherit my legacy…” Complex emotions filled the cat’s words, as she once again felt the ruthless manipulation of fate. Especially after Lu Ping’an so easily obtained his own “truth” and then so casually stepped on her to obtain everything. “…But in fact, you have already taken everything from me.”
