Soul of Negary

Volume 6 Chapter 47: The meaning of progress

Within the Ancestral Wild, various regions with originally different functions had begun to change.

A gigantic eye of consciousness resided above all else.

After Negary retrieved Noah, Killer J, and Lan Shan into his body, his entire consciousness had entered a strange state.

Each of his thoughts, the information flow created by those thoughts, the nodes of his existence, all of them were under his surveillance without fail.

〖 Truly unmistakable! 〗as Negary carefully viewed his own consciousness, he discovered all sorts of colors dying him in their shades, almost like he was the canvas of a dye shop.

The only thing that could be said was that this Reality was much more complicated than what he had thought.

〖 The First Flame, the Black Abyss, the unviewable wiggling entity, the Manipulator, as well as others that I hadn’t discovered before 〗Negary pointed out the brands left by other people on his body one by one: 〖 Impurity, Error, Irregularity, Soul, Knowledge, and even Plague 〗

There were a lot of things hidden inside Negary’s body that he hadn’t noticed before.

Some of them were accidental infections, like the unviewable wiggling entity that resided under the SCR world. That entity didn’t harbor any malice towards Negary because they simply didn’t notice him, Negary was simply too insignificant at the time.

While the other brands were casually left by the progenitor entities whose Pathways Negary had grasped when they sensed him through those powers.

〖 So I got branded with some advertisements? 〗Negary was a bit speechless.

Most of this information wasn’t very tough to remove, since Negary only chose to explore and comprehend those powers without actually delving further into their Pathways, so despite how deeply this information were embedded, they didn’t carry any malice.

In reality, it was hard for them to carry any malice with them in the first place. Since Negary was comparatively much weaker than they were, those entities had the leeway to rely on their superior skills to embed a few pieces of information through the connection of their Pathways without him noticing them, but if this information had interfered with Negary’s will in any way, they would be instantly noticed and removed.

Of course, there was also information that wasn’t particularly friendly to him, like the First Flame and the Black Abyss. The First Flame was naturally information that originated from the White Light, and both of these pieces of information had been embedded deeply into Negary’s consciousness with unclear motivations.

However, Negary had already suspected back in the Moon Tree world that he had actually become a part of their grander plan. This meant that it was either the White Light who prevented Eternal Light from accomplishing his sublimation, or the Black Abyss had managed to win against the White Light during this occasion and resulted in Eternal Light’s failure.

Negary doesn’t know their plan, but he doesn’t need to. A mass of white light as well as some profound dark substance was gradually removed from Negary’s consciousness, then put into a cage made of Source Energy.

To advance into the realm of Pathway Entities, any and all unnecessary baggage without one’s existence must be removed, otherwise, the process would be very prone to failing, and even if one was successful, there would still be terrible consequences.

The mark of a Pathway Entity was the total omniscience of one’s existence, so this unnatural baggage that doesn’t belong to oneself would only cause interference.

This was exactly what happened to the Great Magus Stim Allenz, since his wizardry Pathway was manifested through the chip’s aid, the chip also became his greatest weakness, which was why it could easily rob him of his Pathway later on.

Negary slowly removed this information one by one, up until the very last one—— the Manipulator.

Wang Yuan’s [Origin] originated from him, so there was actually no deeper meaning with him leaving this information for Negary except to be a sign. This gave Negary the same impression as the royal flag in Saint Seiya; removing it meant declaring war, but keeping it here and advancing meant that he just left a beacon for himself to be taken control of.

Without much hesitation, Negary completely removed this information. Nothing had changed, but everything seemed to have changed at the same time. At the very least, at this very moment, Negary had gained complete control over his own existence without leaving any impurities behind.

As the cycle of reincarnation within the Ancestral Wild began to light up, Negary’s consciousness slowly sank inside and borrowed the Desolate Sacrifice world’s authority over all life forms to collect phenomenon factors from the world’s living beings.

Very quickly, within the seemingly borderless cycle of reincarnation, a unique substance began to manifest. It seemed almost like a mass of light, a unified whole, but was also separated into myriad individuals.

That mass of glorious golden light filled with vitality was now drifting within the Ancestral Wild’s cycle of reincarnation.

When you believe this substance to be a living being, you would observe him as such from the perspective of living beings; if you viewed it from the perspective of an inanimate object, it would also be an inanimate object. No matter which aspect of Reality you viewed it from, you would find it to seemingly fit your interpretation.

But when you see it as a phenomenon, you will discover that no matter which aspect you view it from, it would remain as a natural phenomenon regardless of your interpretation.

This was because this was ‘your interpretation’. You find yourself only being able to observe a superficial aspect of this entity because when you face it, you would always find that this entity had one or many that surpassed your understanding.

〖 Soon, only a little bit left 〗as Negary’s consciousness fully sank into this golden light, the Lord of Disaster who was residing in a different world suddenly uttered a resounding howl and manifested numerous golden chains around his own body.

〖 It all depends on them now! 〗

Through the authority connection within the cycle of reincarnation, the phenomenon of progression was able to observe the living beings within the Desolate Sacrifice world, seeing that each of them had their own shortcomings, but were all exerting their efforts due to these shortcomings.

Turning their inability to capability; grasping at what was previously unattainable and making it something they can reach; influencing things that used to influence them; and turning entities that used to control them into entities under their control.

Isn’t that the meaning of progression? And it was also Negary’s original reason for his original pursuit to control everything.

Like a certain great person once said: True freedom wasn’t the ability to do anything you wanted to, but rather to not do what you did not want to.

Negary wanted to control everything not because he wanted to do something to the existences under his control, but rather to ensure that no existence would be able to influence his will.

This state was itself Eternal Peace, but similar to the Celestials who walk the path of eternal peace, Negary also could not see the end of this path.

This was the reason why the majority of the Celestials who followed him call him the Pioneer, or the Unreached Land of Eternal Peace.

In the end, Negary’s gaze fell onto a location where the will to progress was exceptionally more potent than any others, which was the battlefield between the serpent and the Celestials.

The serpent had surpassed the limit of what they could deal with; but regardless of this fact, all of them wanted to defeat the serpent, as this was their own path of eternal peace.

In Negary’s eyes, the ‘luck’ belonging to Yun Yi and the serpent were both rapidly changing. The serpent’s ‘luck’ was disappearing, while Yun Yi’s ‘luck’ had encompassed his companions, each of them advancing beyond their limits and growing by the seconds.
