What is it...?

Many barnacles grew on Lin Feng's body. He sensed something flowing gently, but this time he did not find the power of truth.

This seemingly dead world is not actually depicting death, and the parasitic lives are not the main characters of this world.

"Are these barnacles and corals?"

These organisms, capable of parasitizing any object, rely solely on instinct to reproduce and survive. Despite their extraordinary parasitic abilities, they do not exhibit anything particularly noteworthy.

"Evil begets evil, so there must be some purpose behind bringing me into this world."

"Guike, go tell them that I might be gone for a long time..."

Lin Feng gave a few words of advice and then drifted towards the ruins on a calm ocean current.

Coral, barnacles, corpses—his figure drifted into the depths of the ruins with the ocean currents, and the dark shadow that had snatched the driftwood appeared not far from him.

Like the enormous parasites that drift around the ruins with the ocean currents, they not only devour life, but also the despair of life, until they lose their voice, and then they are thrown onto the slender corals.

Some of the luckier ones drift with the ocean currents to the shallows, becoming walking corpses controlled by the barnacles on their bodies, searching for fresh life.

"Perhaps, evil begets evil because it wants to tell me something..."

"Following his line of thinking, I shouldn't look at it from a human perspective."

"What is it..."

Lin Feng quickly put aside all his thoughts, and his will slowly flowed into the barnacles on his arm, trying to empathize with the thoughts of this parasitic creature.

But this creature's every breath is purely instinctive, and even if he completely controls every detail of it, he gains nothing.

"It seems we need to go into that shadowy place."

Thinking it and acting it out, Lin Feng was like a delicious piece of fresh meat, falling onto the shadows and causing a stir that made the barnacles and corals excited.

"This is..."

Until his body was completely engulfed, a fleshy tentacle within the shadow touched his flesh and blood, and an exceptionally vivid will immediately led him to see a completely different world.

"It is the breath of life."

"Life flourishes after death and despair..."

"Evil begets evil, and it completely negates the meaning of human life..."

Lin Feng opened his eyes in disbelief. He had already understood the meaning that Xie Shengxie wanted to express at this moment: to make him completely deny himself and humanity, and then to comprehend the true truth of life without any prejudice.

Even in this dark sea, even in a place devoid of sound and filled only with despair and fear from a human perspective, this place is still the most vibrant cradle of life!

He could perhaps view the previous three worlds from a very different perspective, but the perspective of this world now is a complete denial of the meaning of humanity.

Perhaps this isn't difficult, after all, they have already transcended the meaning of humanity, but the denial of evil begets evil means that he completely negates the meaning of all human existence, and also makes him deny all human cognition and history...

"Once I completely deny it, I'm afraid I'll never be able to come back to that moment..." Lin Feng thought to himself silently: "In movies and TV shows, humans always use emotions to move alien creatures, making a life form that has not had any emotional fluctuations for millions of years cry for humans... There are even extraordinary life forms that sing praises of human greatness in order to feel human emotions, but in reality, these are all false and unrealistic fantasies, which only move humans in the end."

"Is the purpose of 'evil begets evil'... just to make me join the Evil Origin Path?"

Lin Feng recalled what Tang Hong had said before: once he ignored all of this, joining the Evil Yuan Path would be a natural outcome: "This shouldn't be his goal. If it were evil begetting evil, he wouldn't do this, but if it were Rui Yao, he would definitely do it."

"However, to put it another way, this is from the perspective of the Heavenly Dao. Even if you move the heavens and the earth, you cannot change the laws governing the operation of the Heavenly Dao. In fact, this is part of the operation of the Heavenly Dao, and it is not an accident."

"I..."

"Can we really get out of this?"

"This is equivalent to the absolute version of the mental matrix, completely treating all memories as stored data."

“The word ‘moved’ is treated as an ‘if’ or a basis for judgment based on whether or not.”

After pondering, Lin Feng finally closed his eyes and immersed his will into this completely different truth of life.

He also wanted to know whether, deep down, he truly denied these things.

If so, even without the arrangement of evil begetting evil, he would eventually walk down this path silently.

As his will sank into it, the others outside also noticed that Lin Feng's will seemed to become omnipresent, a kind of will that corrupted the meaning of all human existence throughout the world, turning all the lives dragged into this sea into barnacles and coral nourishment.

"He wants to attain the Dao?"

Sun He's sudden words sent a chill down the spines of Si Zang and the others.

"If it were him... perhaps he really would do it, but why conform to this kind of Dao?" Tang Hong discovered the life truth that Lin Feng had revealed. If it were any other Dao, he might not think much of it, but this...

"Wait a minute, I haven't noticed anything wrong." Si Zang picked up the tortoise shell and turned it around. Compared to that ethereal world, the connection between Lin Feng and them made it easy for him to calculate something.

Upon hearing this, Tang Hong couldn't help but ask, "Si'er, let me ask you, is your method still accurate now? These kinds of things can't be observed from a normal perspective anymore, can they?"

“Normally, it shouldn’t be possible, but why do you think I used normal methods to calculate it?” Si Zang chuckled: “Speaking of which, my master mentioned back then that all the fortune-telling in the world is viewed through human eyes, so from the very beginning, I incorporated some external factors into it.”

"However... it's not that accurate. Nine times out of ten, it's neither fate nor what we can do."

With that, Si Zang shrugged indifferently and put the tortoise shell away: "This is just a trial for me. You can't rely on me completely, can you?"

Tang Hong rolled his eyes.

"Wait, he will come back." Sun He interrupted their conversation. To be honest, he only thought that Si Zang would use this method of merging with the Dao, but he did not expect that the first person to use it would be Lin Feng, and that he would merge with an abnormal Dao.

"What if he doesn't come back?" Si Tao asked abruptly, immediately earning a glare from Si Zang.

Even though they shared these concerns, the way Si Tao put it conveyed a very straightforward certainty, as if Lin Feng really wouldn't be coming back.

Sun He remained silent for a long time. Just when Si Tao thought no one would answer his question, Sun He suddenly said, "If he doesn't come back, he will definitely leave behind a backup will attribute to let this will dominate everything."

"Until...the moment it all ends."

Until the very end.

After Sun He finished speaking, Si Zang and the others fell silent for a moment.

Perhaps the speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart; the moment when everything ends seems not far away for them.

Si Zang swept away the strange looks on everyone's faces. After this Earth-level advancement mission, they all seemed to have some special ideas.
