Chapter 3501: Refining the world’s consciousness (1)
Translator: 549690339
Tang Zhen’s attitude was stiff and cold. His words were merciless as he urged the experienced old man to quickly make a decision.
There was still enmity between the two of them, and they were in a hostile state. How could he care about the feelings of the world’s consciousness?
Looking at the actions of the experienced old man, one would know that he was someone without integrity. Tang Zhen had clearly fulfilled his promise, but the other party wanted to kill him and refine him.
Not only did he want to renege on his debt, but he also wanted to take someone’s life. He was simply shameless to the extreme.
However, who would have thought that Tang Zhen would actually have such an ability to forcefully lead a change in the situation.
Since the other party had such conduct, why did Tang Zhen need to be polite?
Tang Zhen had already stated his conditions clearly, and the world’s consciousness did not need to bargain. If it agreed, it could sign the contract.
Tang Zhen’s method could indeed meet the needs of both sides, but it also had hidden dangers.
If Tang Zhen didn’t keep his promise and wanted to refine the world’s consciousness completely, or if the world’s consciousness wanted to take over Tang Zhen’s body, it would cause an unpredictable and terrifying consequence.
There was even a possibility that both sides would perish together, ending up in a state of death.
That was why they had to sign a contract as a restraint between them to prevent any mistakes at the critical moment.
A cultivator’s contract was different from a mortal’s. It had a great binding force. If a cultivator deliberately violated it, he would inevitably suffer the backlash of the rule power.
This kind of backlash was quite terrifying and could turn a cultivator into nothingness. They definitely did not dare to treat it as child’s play.
Since Tang Zhen was willing to sign the contract, it proved that he had enough sincerity. It was enough to dispel the world’s consciousness ‘original concerns.
Furthermore, time was of the essence, and he did not have much time to ponder.
“I agree!”
The world’s consciousness answered decisively. Even though there were still concerns and unwillingness in its heart, it had no time to think about a choice.
If he continued to hesitate, he would probably lose his only chance.
“In that case, let’s not waste any more time. I’m afraid this world will collapse soon.
When that time comes, even if you want to work with me again, I won’t bother with you.”
As Tang Zhen urged him, he formed a contract with a thought and transmitted it to the weathered elder.
The contract was formed by the power of rules. If the elder agreed, he could inject a trace of his own rule power.
After the contract was established, it would form a special rule that existed between heaven and earth.
Unless the contract between both parties was terminated, it would never disappear.
Once someone broke the rules, the power of the contract would take effect and punish the person who broke the rules.
In some worlds, there would be ancient contractual rules that would affect everything in the world.
The weathered elder checked the contract and confirmed that there were no loopholes. He then added his own rule power into the contract.
Once the contract was formed, both parties would belong to the same camp and live and die together.
don’t waste time. Start refining now!
Tang Zhen called out. Both of their figures instantly merged into one. This was the start of the refinement.
Since they had already come this far, there was no need to hesitate. Moreover, the conditions did not allow it.
Regardless of whether the world’s consciousness was willing or not, the refining process was filled with risks. Once an accident happened, Tang Zhen and the weathered elder might be injured and die.
After all, this kind of refinement involved ancient creatures, and they definitely wouldn’t be willing to become a stepping stone for cultivators.
During the refinement process, the lingering spirit monsters would cause trouble.
Fortunately, this ancient creature had been dead for many years, and its remaining might had completely disappeared. Otherwise, it would only need a single thought to destroy the refiner’s soul.
Especially in the current environment, which was even more dangerous. If he was not careful, he would be swept into the space-time turbulence.
At the same time, they had to take care of the cultivators in Lou Cheng and maintain the stability of the formation, making the situation even more difficult.
The more difficult the situation was, the more one could see the means of cultivators.
Tang Zhen remained calm and composed in the face of the enormous pressure, just like a lone boat in the raging sea.
No matter how big the wind and waves were, they never sank.
As the person being refined, the world’s consciousness had a deep feeling and was full of admiration.
No wonder Tang Zhen’s enemies all ended up in such a miserable state. It was because he did indeed possess such strength.
It was only because he had chosen the wrong opponent that he had to bear the price of failure.
At this moment, Tang Zhen was completely focused as he worked hard to refine the world’s consciousness. Due to the active cooperation of the person being refined, the entire process was rather smooth.
If he wanted to completely refine the world’s consciousness, he would have to spend a long time and bear a lot of risks.
However, if he only refined half of it, things would become quite simple.
To travel a hundred miles, one had to be halfway to ninety, but the last bit was the most difficult and most crucial part.
Tang Zhen wasn’t very interested in refining the world’s consciousness because there would be side effects.
However, if he refined half of it, it would be beneficial and not harmful. Not only would he get the power he wanted, but he wouldn’t be affected by too much karma.
However, most cultivators could not control their greed when faced with such temptation.
After all, the benefits of refining half of it could not be compared to refining all of it. It could even be said to be less than one percent.
Tang Zhen would not be like this. He had sufficient knowledge and would not be attracted by benefits.
Moreover, there was still a contract between both parties. Tang Zhen would definitely not look for trouble.
Time flew by rapidly. Tang Zhen was about to complete the refinement.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a wave of indescribable strange energy erupted from Tang Zhen’s refinement process.
“This is the Suan NI’s innate divine ability!”
The surprised cry came from the experienced old man. He really did not dare to believe that Tang Zhen would actually have such luck.
If he could completely refine the world’s consciousness, he would definitely be able to obtain an innate magical power, and even possibly obtain the inheritance of ancient creatures.
However, Tang Zhen was different. He had only refined the surface of it and was actually able to obtain benefits that could only be obtained by refining essence.
This kind of inconceivable situation could only mean that Tang Zhen’s luck was too strong. He was always able to create miracles that were almost impossible to happen.
Tang Zhen did not feel any joy when it came to the innate ability he had comprehended. He had sufficient means and did not lack such an ability.
However, it was also a good thing to be able to obtain an innate divine ability. At least, he had another means of self-protection and facing the enemy.
When excavating the crystal mine, he might be able to get a little help.
After a few dozen breaths, Tang Zhen completed the predetermined refinement and was able to hide the aura of the world’s consciousness in his body.
The agreement between the two sides had been completed. Tang Zhen had obtained the power he wanted, and the world’s consciousness could finally be hidden perfectly.
If Tang Zhen didn’t want to be exposed, there wouldn’t be any problems even if he was investigated by a supremacy.
At this moment, Tang Zhen was able to clearly sense the changes in the crystal mine world. He knew that it was about to collapse in an instant.
This kind of situation was already within his expectations. Tang Zhen was not the least bit surprised. He was even rejoicing that he was able to endure for such a long time.
If it were to collapse and be destroyed in advance, how could Tang Zhen still have the possibility of refining it? he would most likely have been forced to escape from this world.
“Get ready, we’re leaving immediately!”
Tang Zhen passed down the order and tried to lead the Lou Cheng cultivators away from the collapsing crystal mine world.
“Wait a moment!”
At this critical moment, the world’s consciousness suddenly spoke.
“What’s the matter?”
Tang Zhen asked the other party. He knew that the other party would not stop him for no reason.
“There are still tens of thousands of remains here. I’ve chosen them all. Since we’ve decided to retreat, we can’t let those damn bastards take advantage of us.
If you have the ability, please take them with you. It’s my way of thanking you.”
The weathered old man said in a deep voice. Before he was about to leave, he gave Tang Zhen another gift.
