Chapter 1341 - 1087: More Divine than the Gods!

What exactly made me become what I am now? Is it Divine Status? Divine Power? Or is it my inexplicable sense of superiority that comes from being a Giant? Or is it my soul, superior as a transmigrator?

Only the lowest forms of life enjoy adhering to predefined rankings and hierarchies in human society, while higher beings choose their own way of life.

I don’t know what causes my disregard for life, but this is not what I want.

I can change.

I must change.

Just then, behind Long Yi, a statue wearing a golden robe slowly emerged. Long Yi turned around and looked at the statue. Under the shadow of the hood, dark golden sparks continuously shot out from the eyes, the power of the Greedy Snake.

"I did not create new life, so why did you suddenly appear?" Long Yi suddenly asked.

Clearly, that statue was himself; it could not answer his questions.

"Yes, it’s because I made a change, a change no less significant than creating a new life. I am remaking myself!"

Long Yi inexplicably answered himself.

He suddenly delved deep into his own consciousness. Long Yi’s consciousness space was no longer pure white but dark gold. In this space, there appeared to be two completely distinct consciousnesses.

One consciousness belonged to Long Yi himself. The image that emerged in this consciousness depicted Long Yi as strong-willed, unyielding, playful—all traits that Long Yi could see himself.

The other consciousness was purely golden, the Trinity’s consciousness. Powerful, serene, mechanically precise, yet completely devoid of any warmth.

"Is it either this or that? Are you binary?" Long Yi suddenly said, laughing.

In fact, both consciousness were Long Yi; they were always present in this consciousness space. Whenever the Trinity’s consciousness came close to Long Yi’s original consciousness, his thought process would take on a divine aspect. And the manifestation of this divinity was precisely a lack of warmth.

Must gods lack warmth? Must they disregard ordinary lives? Who decided all this?

I, do not accept this!

Long Yi actually began to expand his Divine Soul to examine it.

Exploring one’s own consciousness, such a thing would have been unimaginable before. But now, having devoured countless Divine Worms, Long Yi had mastered these inherent abilities of the Divine Worm. This allowed Long Yi to observe his own Divine Soul as if he were a bystander.

To be honest, it wasn’t easy. If it were his own consciousness, he wouldn’t even need to observe. Long Yi’s high level of self-control meant he usually did not care about these things. But the Divine Soul was different.

This was still the first time Long Yi observed the Divine Soul.

A person’s consciousness usually consists of various memory fragments, and combinations of these memories determine specific responses to external stimuli. The imprecision of human memory provides infinite possibilities, which are referred to as creativity.

For the Divine Soul, this is absolutely not allowed.

The Divine Soul is composed of rules. Rules above all, highly precise, they have a set response to everything, and no changes are permitted. Those rules are governed by the divine decrees.

The divine decrees, Long Yi had heard about them once when a Divine Envoy sister was explaining the Divine Worms to him, saying a certain god had violated the divine decrees. And now, these so-called divine decrees were laid out before Long Yi.

Or rather, they should not be referred to as a ’thing,’ for the divine decrees are a mixture of rules defining what can be done, what cannot be done, and what must be done.

No one who has not seen the divine decrees can imagine just how complex and detailed they might be! Long Yi couldn’t find a single adjective to describe the complexity of the divine decrees. Simply put, everything you see, hear, and feel—or even cannot—is included in the divine decrees.

Certainly, creating life is also among them.

Just as Long Yi thought, such an old-fashioned collection of rules would inevitably have some simple methods of reference. Long Yi tried several different methods of inquiry, it must be said, the various inherent abilities of the Divine Worm are quite useful. Long Yi quickly grasped some techniques.

Creating life is defined in the divine decrees as the highest order, as creating life will elevate a god’s status, and elevation of status means a great enhancement from the Divine Soul to Divine Status to Divine Power. Therefore, every god would open their own universe, creating life.

At the same time, the divine decrees also forbid gods from invading the universe created by other gods in any way.

Clearly, the Divine Worms must have overstepped but perhaps found some loopholes in the divine decrees.

Long Yi doesn’t understand, doesn’t know, and, in fact, he is very annoyed.

Who threw this here? Who wrote it? Who gave the authority?

Long Yi extremely dislikes such tricky, silent behavior. How is this different from being a thief?

And disregard for life is one of those rules in the divine decrees!

As a god, you are not allowed to feel any affection or dislike towards lesser lives in any way.

This means, in the definition of the divine decrees, those so-called lesser lives are no different from a stone.

Damn! Can’t I even like little cats and dogs?

Long Yi decided to delete the divine decrees.

But it was difficult.

The Divine Worm’s innate abilities included some that could alter consciousness, especially exerting simple influences on divine consciousness. Most often, the worms preferred to gradually expand their influence over their hosts through these minor influences, eventually aiming to completely parasitize the host. It was also possible to directly alter consciousness by amplifying this ability.

But, to modify the Divine Rules? Impossible!

The Divine Rules are the foundation of divine consciousness, the deepest layer! It’s like the relationship between an operating system and software in a computer—if there isn’t even an operating system installed, how can any software be installed?

Now it seemed that the Divine Rules were the operating system and were unmodifiable.

This was how the Divine Rules felt to Long Yi.

Bullshit! Don’t tell me I haven’t already replaced generations of operating systems in my computer and upgraded the operating systems in my fighter jets countless times, and now you’re telling me it’s unmodifiable?

Long Yi didn’t believe it, he staunchly refused to believe!

It wasn’t that it couldn’t be changed, but rather that he didn’t know how to change it!

Wait a minute!

What if I don’t change it?

What if I completely abandon the Divine Rules? Keep in mind, although divine consciousness relies on the Divine Rules, essentially, they aren’t locked in a fixed relationship. What if the divine consciousness is transferred?

For instance... onto my own original consciousness!

Long Yi was immediately stunned by his own ingenious wit; this was almost like playing with fire, but the feeling of being shackled was simply unbearable for Long Yi!

However, to achieve this, the power of the Divine Worm alone was not sufficient; Long Yi needed to harness some knowledge from the Giants.

He opened up the Giant’s tablet and pulled out the Giant’s scepter. These were two of the most powerful pieces of equipment among the Giant’s gear. The Giant’s tablet brought Long Yi countless pieces of knowledge, while the Giant’s scepter helped Long Yi to implement this knowledge.

Lacking sufficient materials around him, Long Yi directly used Cosmic Stones as raw material to craft a helmet for himself. This helmet contained extremely complex arrays, whose main function was to help stabilize his own consciousness since Long Yi anticipated that the fusion of two consciousnesses would inevitably cause a collision, and in the absence of Little Zi, Long Yi had to rely on some special measures. In fact, if things weren’t so urgent, Long Yi should have waited for Little Zi, but he was worried about creating a huge mess, so he had to act immediately.

At this time, in the Azure Sky Empire, Suolin was sitting with Ai Lin, Isrile, and Ruosha. Ai Lin was sharing funny stories from the Lower Plane with Isrile and Ruosha, while Isrile bragged about her grand achievements in her covert operations, and Ruosha held the core of a Star Devourer, teasing Isrile on the side.

Usually at such times, Suolin rarely spoke because although she had experienced many fun events, she couldn’t tell these people about them.

But just then, Suolin suddenly stood up, and just when everyone was puzzled, a voice suddenly came from Suolin, "Warning, detection of sudden timeline change, timeline change data unknown, reestablishing new time node. New time node congruence is zero, prepare for temporal shock in five, four, three, two, one."

Buzz!

Everyone saw Suolin’s body seem to flicker for a moment, and then there was no further explanation.

"What happened?" Ai Lin quickly stood up and asked.

"I don’t know, but what I do know is that someone is making an unprecedented move right now, one that will completely change the future," Suolin said.

"Will there be any danger?" Isrile also asked.

"I don’t know, because he has already created a new timeline, in this time, I am as new as you all," Suolin said.

"In that case, we’ll just ask him when he gets back, right?" Ruosha said nonchalantly.

"It’s up to you to ask because according to the law of space-time, I will be forcibly returned to my correct timeline now; I don’t even know if I can come back," Suolin said with a hint of sadness in her voice, she did not want to leave at all.

"I..." Before Ai Lin could speak, the flickering around Suolin intensified, and then she disappeared in front of everyone.

The girls looked at each other, somewhat at a loss due to this sudden change.

Just then, the main door was pushed open, and it turned out that Suolin reappeared!

"Eh? Didn’t you just leave?" Ruosha exclaimed in surprise.

"Was it my time to leave? Ah-ha! The new timeline has indeed made time travel more precise!" Suolin happily said.

"We hadn’t even gotten the chance to feel sad about your sudden departure," Ai Lin said with a smile.

"Actually, we were just starting to worry about Long Yi," Isrile said.

"Don’t worry, neither I nor Long Yi will have any trouble," Suolin said.

"That’s great then!" Ruosha exclaimed happily.

"But Suolin, are you sure about this? You used to say you couldn’t reveal any future news..." Ai Lin asked puzzled.

"That was the case previously. I was also wondering why the law of space-time was changing. But now I know it’s because someone is changing the entire universe in a way that will astonish the gods! Ha ha ha ha!" Suolin sounded unprecedentedly excited, watching her, the girls were all somewhat baffled.

"Is it that divine?" Isrile said, curling her lip.

"More divine than the gods!" Suolin asserted very confidently.
