Chapter 450: Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
Xia Lin was confused by Lao Wang's words.
No, buddy, why am I the key again?
Lao Wang's face also looked a little strange, as if he also felt that the development of the situation was absurd and didn't know where to start.
The Six Pillars cannot be omniscient and omnipotent.
No single pillar can understand everything in the world and see through all development trends.
Therefore, they cannot completely control the direction of events. There will always be unexpected people and things that disrupt everything that has been planned.
And Xia Lin is the biggest "variable" in this game.
After hesitating for a moment, the King of Kings shook his head, as if he had found a point to start the conversation.
He slowly spoke: "This matter must start with the essence of the Six Pillars..."
Xia Lin was stunned. He didn't expect that the King of Kings would pull the timeline back to the creation of the world with just one sentence.
Is this okay?
But Lao Wang didn't want to explain it in detail.
He used only a few simple sentences to explain the essence of the six pillars.
"Pillars are the foundation of the universe and the underlying laws of the universe!"
"Six is the maximum number for the new universe! From the very beginning, the new universe can only support six pillars. As long as the old pillars are not destroyed, new pillars will not be born!"
"So this brings up a problem... Under the current situation, if you want to become a new pillar, relying on your own efforts is not enough. You must kick out one of the existing six pillars before you can ascend to the throne."
Xia Lin knew all these things clearly.
The ongoing battle for the throne among the six pillars is actually a manifestation of the underlying logic of this sentence.
——No one can create the new six pillars without grabbing the position of the original dark side six pillars. No matter how difficult this step is, it is indeed the only way.
The King of Kings stroked the Spirit World Book and slowly continued, "To be honest, this design is beneficial to the vast majority of the existing six pillars."
The six pillars are above everything else.
The rule makers give themselves the greatest privileges, which is extremely reasonable and in line with human nature.
"As the founder of a new universe, I didn't initially see any problem with this design... Supremacy is inevitable because we are inherently supreme."
"And it's not like I didn't give those below me a chance... The will of the universe and the power of transcendence bestowed by heaven also give those at level twelve a theoretical chance of seizing the throne."
"Actually, until just now, I was still hesitant. I wanted to see if my son and his men could seize the throne and establish the new Six Pillars under the existing rules."
The King of Kings looked forward.
Ahead, more challengers rushed into the Primordial Dark Side, but none of them could hold out longer than Lu Zhao and Wang Laoer...
They passed the first step, but could not make it to the second step, let alone the third step.
It doesn't matter if it's lack of strength or bad luck.
The difficulty of class advancement is like a chasm that stands in front of these challengers, but no one can make it.
The King of Kings smiled.
“And without new pillars, there’s no way to overturn the existing situation.”
“Actually, my original idea was very simple.”
"Using the six pillars of the original dark side as the leaders, cultivate a new pillar, thereby breaking the balance of the war between immortals and demons and resolving the greatest disaster in the universe: the grudge between immortals and demons."
"Once the new pillar is born and can control the power of the original dark side, the second disaster of the universe: the problem of the original dark side will also be solved."
From any perspective, the original dark side is the best target for seizing the throne!
But even so, no one can do it.
The King of Kings took a deep breath and said, "This forces me to think about this question."
"Is our design fundamentally wrong?"
"The window we opened to seize the throne wasn't big enough."
"The Six Pillars' power is too great, and challengers can only sigh in despair. Theoretically, there is a chance of success, but without a miracle, this success rate will always remain at the theoretical stage."
The King of Kings spoke faster and faster, which seemed to indicate his determination.
He suddenly turned to look at Xia Lin: "Wenyu has long realized this problem... My son's subordinates are too tied up, and Wenyu is left alone. He realized that everything he has now cannot support the Twelve Level to seize the throne of the Six Pillars, even if it is the simplest of the Six Pillars, the Primordial Dark Side."
The faceless hand behind him spread out, and a smile appeared on the face of the Demon Emperor.
This person is also one of the pseudo six pillars, and theoretically has the highest success rate in seizing the throne!
But he never even tried from beginning to end!
Xia Lin realized one thing.
"When you talk about miracles, I get excited!"
The uncertain shadow has the authority of miracles.
Old Wang nodded and smiled, "I had a secret conversation with Wen Yu about Junyou's matter that day. In fact, Wen Yu paid the price and asked me to create the Soul Light System and the Spirit World Book."
"His original intention was to allow the Uncertain Shadow, representing miracles, to explore the theoretical possibility of seizing the throne... If anyone had the opportunity to touch upon this possibility, then the Uncertain Shadow would be the most suitable person."
Xia Lin rubbed his hands in anticipation: "Come on, give me the Spirit World Book, and I'll give it a try!"
Wumian chuckled and said, "No, buddy, you washed away all your miracle skills yourself."
"The probability that I can find it again is non-existent."
"But you don't have a deep understanding of this area, you haven't had much exposure to it, and your level and strength are not high enough. You can't even get past the first level."
Wumian smiled and ruffled Xia Lin's hair. "To put it bluntly, the Demon Emperor's expectations are what he expected, but you yourself have taken the wrong path..."
Xia Lin immediately turned off the engine.
The King of Kings smiled and said, "It's like this. You've strayed from the right path... The Demon Emperor dislikes control and prefers variables and the unknown. The soul light I created has helped you eliminate the influence of the Six Pillars of Heaven's Will."
"Your current ability system is all your own choice. You haven't embarked on the path to the Six Pillars that Wen Yu designed for you... But honestly, even if you embarked on this path, you wouldn't be able to successfully reach the end and achieve the Six Pillars."
Xia Lin looked at Lao Wang in confusion: "I think I have that ability. If time could go back, I really want to try it..."
Lao Wang shook his head and said, "It's not about your personal ability, but about what happens next. It's about the birth of the original master."
Xia Lin was silent.
Lao Wang continued, "The escape of the original dark will has brought about drastic changes. This matter has nothing to do with you..."
"I've gone back through time, deducing every possibility. I've realized your significance in this, but it's almost non-existent. With or without you, the Original Dark Will would have emerged, and the Original Overlord would have been born. The only difference is the process."
"And the biggest impact of this incident on the seizure of the throne is time."
"The birth of the Primordial Overlord has greatly advanced the theoretical timeline for the start of the throne seizure."
Because of the birth of the Original Overlord, the Original Will wants to take back the authority of the Six Pillars that belongs to it.
As the legitimate heir to the Six Pillars authority, it would only take a relatively short time for the Original Will to successfully complete this operation, thereby putting an end to all Level Twelve Six Pillars dreams!
"You've gone astray, but that's not a big deal. After all, without you, Wenyu still has more uncertain shadows... You're not irreplaceable in this plan."
"But the issue of time affects everyone... Currently, no Uncertain Shadow on the Miracle Side has reached Level 12, so they simply can't catch up with this feast. And my subordinates have proven with their actions that unless a miracle occurs, they will not be able to successfully seize the throne."
"And ultimately, once the Primordial Overlord takes back the six pillars... the window for the theory to exist will become even slimmer."
The complete six pillars are absolutely unshakable.
The Lord of Heaven's usurpation plan and the current seizure of the throne are both aimed at the incomplete and imperfect Six Pillars - the former Old Ones and the original dark side.
Only the six pillars that are incomplete and have huge flaws can be dethroned. Even the six pillars have never thought of the above three pillars and super stars as their targets for dethroning.
The King of Kings finally said, "So I can say this: if this game fails, it means that the upward channel we designed to reach the Six Pillars has completely failed."
It has failed.
In just a simple conversation, most of those who intended to seize the throne had already completed their attempts.
The result is that none of them work.
"So I changed my mindset and secretly contacted the Demon Emperor and Chaoxing through Zhang Hai and Wumian."
The King of Kings said this as he threw the Spirit World Book to Xia Lin.
"I call this new plan, Ashes to Ashes, Ashes to Ashes!"
"We will completely bury the former six-pillar structure and resolve the two nearly unsolvable problems that plague the main universe: the former grudge between immortals and demons and the original dark side."
He looked at Xia Lin and said, "And you, Xia Lin, and the spiritual world book in your hand, are the key and center of the new plan."
He gently stroked Xia Lin's shoulder and said slowly, "I need you here, at this moment, to complete the dual-class conflict and create the cosmic bug I need."
It's not that Xia Lin needs to be promoted to level 12, but that Xia Lin needs to create a cosmic bug by using dual professions in conflict!
Xia Lin was confused and didn't understand what he meant.
Faceless took a step forward, standing in front of Xia Lin, and spoke slowly: "One of the coincidences about you is your dual professions, the Uncertain Shadow and the Pillar of Eternity!"
…
The reason why coincidence is coincidence is that no one can predict it in advance.
After Xia Lin acquired dual professions in the past, the path of Uncertain Shadow had actually gone astray - Xia Lin had already given up the miracle mechanism of Uncertain Shadow at that time.
Therefore, his dual-profession system was really just a design by the Demon Emperor with all his efforts, and it did not contain any calculations.
"But by chance, your dual professions have found a place to be used right now."
The uncertain shadow represents the unknown.
The Pillars of Eternity represent the known.
——These two points are professional concepts that Xia Lin has long been clear about and has a certain understanding of.
The fusion of two completely conflicting professions could create a cosmic bug. This was needless to say, as Xia Lin had known this for a long time.
But Xia Lin didn't know what the point of creating this cosmic bug was at this moment and place.
Zhang Hai came to Xia Lin and said slowly, "Mistake. Do you still remember the mistake?"
Xia Lin naturally remembered.
Zhang Hai continued, "A new universe gives rise to new errors... In essence, errors are the embodiment of cosmic bugs. Master Chaoxing's research on errors indicates that errors in a new universe can temporarily disrupt the cosmic balance and create critical gaps in the new plan."
Zhang Hai didn't elaborate on the specific principles and details because they were too complicated.
He was just pointing to the original dark side entity in the distance.
"The nature of this error is actually similar to the original dark side. This is the main reason why the Lord of Kings wants you to ascend here."
The original dark side integrates all the negative aspects of the new and old universes, and it itself is also a remnant of the old universe.
In essence, this thing is actually the biggest cosmic loophole in the new universe.
Xia Lin thought about it carefully and suddenly found that there was indeed a convergence between the mistakes and the original dark side!
Of course, Xia Lin still didn't know the full picture of the plan, but he was willing to cooperate and didn't dare not to cooperate.
He just scratched his head in distress: "But I don't know how to deal with dual-class conflicts..."
Wumian smiled: "Coincidence number two, absolute balance."
"Didn't you get the absolute balance that belonged to my former boss?"
To say that the absolute balance is a coincidence is not really appropriate.
Judging from Xia Lin's ambition and character, it was normal for him to achieve absolute balance when he entered the dark world for the second time. Not achieving it would be inconsistent with Xia Lin's character.
Wumian's words immediately woke Xia Lin up.
He frowned, "But my absolute balance doesn't have that effect!"
Absolute balance can balance everything about the two living beings, but it cannot balance Xia Lin's dual professions.
Wumian nodded. "The absolute balance in you is just a figment of the imagination of the original Dark Side. It's indeed not very effective... But it doesn't matter. Don't you still have Fair Trade?"
"And guess what?" Wumian smiled as he approached Xia Lin. He reached out and pressed down on Xia Lin's forehead, like an immortal touching his head. "Not only do I possess fair trade, I also possess the authentic absolute balance."
Faceless, able to simulate and replicate everything in the world.
The most crucial point why he is called the strongest level 12 is that he can even copy the ability system of the Demon Emperor!
Although the ability will be weakened due to insufficient status, the weakened six pillars are still far stronger than the twelve-level ones.
"Of course, I can't possibly give you Fair Trade and Absolute Balance. That's meaningless... I'll only pass on my experience with these two skills to you in the form of initiation. This will help you deepen your understanding of these two abilities!"
Without waiting for Xia Lin to respond, the terrifying energy directly poured into Xia Lin's brain.
For a moment, Xia Lin's eyes were blank, and he was immersed in the memories that appeared out of nowhere and couldn't extricate himself!
A huge amount of experience appeared in Xia Lin's mind in the form of a scale-shaped rune and was deeply engraved in the depths of Xia Lin's soul.
I don’t know how long it took, but the reality was just a moment.
When Wumian withdrew his hands, chaotic light had already burst out from Xia Lin's hands.
The light took shape and transformed into the shadow of a balance scale.
Two more blurry shadows appeared from the depths of Xia Lin's soul.
——This is the Uncertain Shadow and the Eternal Pillar, the embodiment of dual professions!
Xia Lin placed the dual professions at both ends of the scale.
Fair trade combined with absolute balance makes the shadows on both ends of the scale connected to each other and tend to merge.
Chaos is uncertain, the known is eternal...
As the balance began, a deeper understanding of the dual professions burst out from Xia Lin's mind.
It's like a lit powder keg. As the fuse burns, explosion is inevitable.
Just after the two professions completed the initial balance, a hint of dark color suddenly appeared in the center of the scale.
The King of Kings raised the corner of his mouth.
This is the prototype of the cosmic bug He needs!
Of course, it's just a prototype.
It’s not because the cosmic bug was just born and has not grown stronger.
But it is because if it is just like this, it cannot be the core of the King of Kings' "Dust to dust, ashes to ashes" plan.
"Coincidence number three..." Without the Faceless Man having to speak, the King of Kings had already spoken: "The Equation of Heaven and the Coming of the Ancients."
The Heavenly Dao Equation was obtained by Xia Lin's own luck, and it was originally a trivial matter.
The Old Ones have been hidden in the Book of the Spirit World. Their original intention was to assist in seizing the position of the Original Dark Side, and to provide great help to Xia Lin in the later stages of his seizure of the throne. However, due to the birth of the Original Overlord, Xia Lin's foundation was insufficient, and he did not have the prerequisites to seize the throne. The significance of the Book of the Spirit World was actually not great.
But these two seemingly unrelated things intersected at this moment.
Because in essence, they are indeed the core abilities of the two six pillars of the main universe!
As soon as the King of Kings thought about it, light began to flow out from Xia Lin's book on the outer world and the spiritual world.
In the world outside the world, Scarlett looked terrified...
She couldn't see what was happening outside, she only knew that a powerful force suddenly descended and forcibly took away the Equation of Heaven from her body!
Irresistible, unable to say no...
It was Xia Lin's voice that sounded again and fell into Scarlett's ears.
"Don't worry, nothing happened."
In the outside world, as the King of Kings withdrew his two abilities, He looked at them carefully and shrugged slightly.
"After all, there's not enough time... The Dark Side of the Old Ones in the Spirit World Book hasn't even reached 100% completion."
This should have been accomplished through Xia Lin's own efforts.
Just because time was urgent, Lao Wang had no choice but to take over and do it himself.
He waved his hand lightly, and the original dark side that countless usurpers could not shake trembled violently.
A full one percent of the strength in his body disappeared out of thin air!
An extremely tiny part of it was transformed into the dark side completion degree, directly pushing the dark side completion degree of the Spirit World Book to 100%. More of it was transformed by Lao Wang into the power of the six pillars, and then sent back to Xia Lin's world outside the world.
"It's for you."
For a moment, everyone in the world outside the boundary, including Scarlett, could see endless light rain falling from the sky!
This is the power of six pillars numbering nearly hundreds of millions!
Xia Lin looked up at Lao Wang blankly and nodded slightly to express his gratitude, but saw Lao Wang smiling and said, "It's just a trivial matter."
The two of them focused their attention on the Spirit World Book.
It was clearly seen that the final entry in the Spirit World Book began to appear.
[The final stage ability of the Dark Side of the Old Ones has been activated: Two sides merged into one!
Merge Two Sides: Forcefully merge the real and dark dimensions! This function will have unpredictable effects on both the real and dark dimensions, so use with caution!
The description of this ability left Xia Lin confused.
But it was obviously expected by the King of Kings.
He placed the light balls of the Old Ones and the Equation of Heaven into the two ends of the scale respectively.
The Equation of Heaven corresponds to the Pillars of Eternity.
The Old Ones' Coming corresponds to the Uncertain Shadow!
In a moment, Xia Lin felt the balance tremble again. After the new material was added, the balance changed again.
More information flowed into Xia Lin's mind, and the King of Kings beside him spoke again, as if explaining or giving advice.
"The six core skills all have secrets to be discovered and hidden uses."
"The Equation of Heaven is like this. You have also figured out the most powerful use of this skill yourself. The same is true for the Advent of the Old Ones."
"All the abilities of the Spirit World Book before were actually offshoots of the Ancient's Advent skill, and the Two-Sided Merger is the core of this skill."
"If this function is used by an original master who has mastered the six pillars, it can instantly reverse the dual dimensions of reality and darkness, turning the dark dimension into reality and sending the reality dimension into the dark dimension!"
Xia Lin shuddered and was a little frightened.
He had personally experienced the power and weirdness of this skill, but now the King of Kings told Xia Lin that this was only one side of the skill, and the true horror had not yet been revealed.
“It will never really be presented.”
In the past, the original Dark Side had no brains and could not use the Old Ones.
Now, the original master has a brain but no six pillars, and cannot display the true power of the Old Ones.
And the future...
"They will no longer have a future."
Lao Wang said this and looked at Xia Lin's scale again.
With the addition of new materials, the cosmic bug in the center of the scale becomes larger and deeper!
Originally, it was just a dual-profession conflict between Pillar of Eternity and Uncertain Shadow.
Now, the conflict between the Heavenly Dao Equation and the Ancients' Advent Double Six Pillars core skills has been added.
The two conflicts merged with the power of absolute balance.
"The Pillars of Eternity correspond to the known, and the Equation of Heaven corresponds to the control of the known."
"The Uncertain Shadow corresponds to the unknown, and the Old Ones descend to control the sovereignty of the dark side of chaos."
"Under the double conflict, and then personally adjusted by me..." A huge amount of dragon energy and divine power, as if tangible, gushed out from the body of the King of Kings.
In an instant, time froze, and only the few people present and the original dark side could move and think.
He flicked his finger, and power was poured into the body of the original dark side.
The primordial dark side trembled violently as if it wanted to resist the King of Kings, but it was unable to make an effective counterattack!
The King of Kings continued slowly, "I will use the connection between the Spirit World Book and the original dark side to activate the fusion of the two sides..."
Endless light and shadow gushed out from the original dark side, instantly covering the entire scene and tending to spread outward.
Xia Lin only felt that the entire space began to undergo strange changes, and the underlying rules began to be subverted and distorted.
However, at this moment, the King of Kings took action again, suppressing the entire scene with dragon energy, and the space immediately stabilized.
The Old Ones, led by the original dark side, came and were suppressed by the King of Kings. The power of the two sides combined, guided by the King of Kings, was poured into the cosmic bug that was taking shape and condensing.
In a trance, it seemed as if a brand new space was condensing from the depths of the cosmic bug.
The King of Kings raised his hand again.
In the solidified space, the original dark side body was pulled out by the King of Kings, squeezed into a palm-sized ball, and thrown directly into the cosmic bug!
The King of Kings heaved a long sigh and wiped the sweat from his forehead - all this was not easy for Him.
Then, he looked at Xia Lin and the rapidly expanding cosmic bug and smiled.
"Because they share the same origin, the cosmic bug and the original dark side entity can be integrated."
"And the original dark side is the source of the dark dimension. I sealed it into the cosmic bug, which means that the dark dimension has also been sealed into this cosmic bug."
In the blink of an eye, the cosmic bug had expanded to a size of hundreds of meters and automatically floated to the place where the original dark side had just entered.
The matter is done, and Xia Lin doesn't need to do anything else.
He simply turned to look at the King of Kings with an expression of admiration on his face.
Because things have come to this, he finally realized what Lao Wang’s "dust to dust, ashes to ashes" plan was!
To put it simply, Lao Wang used Xia Lin to create this rather special, hodgepodge, cosmic bug that has a causal relationship with most of the six pillars to create a new dimension that integrates the dark side dimension.
In this way, it is equivalent to sealing the original dark side in disguise - but this seal is actually unsustainable.
Because sealing the original dark side at this moment is equivalent to sealing a six-pillar position.
The six pillars of the main universe are supreme. Without the participation of forces of the same level, it is impossible to complete the eternal seal of the six pillars!
So the next step is to have one of the six pillars join the game!
It’s Lao Wang himself!
He walked towards the cosmic bug and said slowly, "The original dark side represents the dark dimension, and I, Wang Wei, rule over reality!"
"The dual dimensions of the dark side and reality clash with each other, further increasing the weight of this cosmic bug!"
At this point, Lao Wang has stepped into the cosmic bug!
A whistling stream of energy burst out from it, sweeping in all directions like a strong wind!
But looking back at the cosmic bug, it turned out to be unusually stable and turned into a crystal-clear, diamond-like giant entity that was still slowly expanding!
Behind him, Faceless slowly spoke and added, "Currently, this cosmic bug contains two six-pillar entities. Under the guidance of the Lord of All Kings and Absolute Balance, the Lord of All Kings and the six-pillar entities of the original dark side have achieved a counterbalancing balance, making this object completely stable."
Having said this, Wumian's lips moved, as if he was transmitting a message to a distant place.
Just seconds after he finished transmitting the message, three figures forced their way through the Giant's Eye and appeared here!
Immortal Emperor, Demon Emperor and Super Star.
At this moment, with two against one, Demon Emperor Super Star has a certain advantage.
The two of them forcibly trapped the Immortal Emperor and moved the battlefield to this place.
Just after passing through the Giant's Eye, before the Immortal Emperor realized what was happening, the three of them had already plunged into the cosmic bug!
The crystal glittering cosmic bug expanded again, and soon expanded to a size similar to that of the original dark side.
And this cosmic bug... no, it shouldn't be called a cosmic bug anymore... it actually contains the entire five digits and six pillars!
This is far more than the only remaining six pillars of the old times in reality!
And five, unable to achieve balance - the stronger one, comes from the instantaneous outbreak of the Demon Emperor's absolute balance power.
Faintly, Xia Lin seemed to hear a voice of impotence and fury in the distance.
In a moment, a stream of colorful light rushed over and instantly plunged into the cosmic bug, completely disappearing.
And then... time returned to normal.
Xia Lin opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Wumian and Zhang Hai looked at each other and spoke in unison.
"Now, there are no six pillars in the main universe."
