Chapter 548 Predation and Origin
"If you are just fighting for your own pride, I advise you not to do this. You should know that there is no point in killing me. You can neither get what you want nor cause any loss to me by destroying my body."
He frowned after hearing Zheng Shu's words. It seemed to him that Zheng Shu was simply too proud to lose face. They were all people who could master the "Tao", and the other party should be very clear whether what he said was true or not.
No matter how you look at it, it is better to follow his advice and inherit everything he has than to destroy his body out of a momentary anger.
"Of course, if you really feel angry, you can kill me after inheriting my legacy. Don't worry, I will never resist."
After thinking about it, he felt that Zheng Shu might still be too young and couldn't afford to lose face, so he found a way for him to save face.
Anyway, just like he said, the destruction of body and soul means nothing to him. As long as his true spirit still exists in the Heavenly Dao, he can be resurrected at any time.
"You still don't understand what I mean." Zheng Shu looked at Yi's expression and knew that the other party still hadn't reacted.
"I've said before, I have no interest in your inheritance, nor in the so-called responsibility. I'm only interested in the answer in your mind. As it happens, you've also pissed me off, so I don't mind killing you and then getting the answer in your mind."
Zheng Shu bent his body, put his face close to Yi's eyes, and stared into the other's eyes.
"Moreover, you were not honest in your words before. You only told me what I was going to do, but you didn't tell me what you would do after I accepted your inheritance."
He was silent for a moment, then nodded with a calm expression.
"It seems that you have seen through me. That's right, if you accept the inheritance, you must accept my position, and I can escape from this responsibility and gain true freedom!"
Then he quickly added: "But I did not lie to you. There is no harm in accepting my inheritance. All you need to do is to take over the responsibility in my hands.
As long as you take over the inheritance from me, you can save billions of lives, be believed by them, and be worshipped by them. The safety of all lives in the entire galaxy rests in your hands.
And because your existence is special, you will not be subject to any compulsory constraints. This is obviously a win-win situation!"
"I don't care whether the creatures in this galaxy live or die. Whether they worship me or curse me, it can't affect me at all. On the contrary, I am very unhappy with you, so it will make me feel comfortable to make you uncomfortable."
Zheng Shu glanced at him, stood up, closed his eyes slightly, and seemed to be adjusting something.
"You... didn't I tell you that even if you kill me, it won't have any effect on me? Are you just trying to comfort yourself with falsehood?"
"Can't kill you?"
Zheng Shu tilted his head, as if he heard something funny, and his whole body began to shake with laughter.
"It's nothing more than posting your information to the world. You are a little too confident."
"What do you mean?!"
After hearing Zheng Shu's words, Yi suddenly felt an indescribable sense of threat and asked involuntarily.
However, Zheng Shu did not answer him after saying that. Instead, he narrowed his eyes again, as if he was adjusting something.
"Although I said it arrogantly, I still feel a little uncomfortable psychologically for directly devouring a humanoid creature. Fortunately, my state of mind is high enough, so I can do some tricks."
Thinking silently in his heart, Zheng Shu began to adjust his mental state.
Use observation and concentration methods in your mind, focus all your attention, and try your best to control all the thoughts in your mind.
In the visualized inner world, Zheng Shu picked out all the mental changes that were unique to Ort's body and actively molded them into a special personality.
Afterwards, he hid his main personality behind the mental barrier and released his secondary personality.
In the outside world, Yi was still advising Zheng Shu earnestly.
Suddenly, he stopped involuntarily and looked at the silver-white monster in front of him with shock.
In addition to shock, there was also a hint of imperceptible fear on his face. This was the first time that negative emotions had appeared in his heart since he appeared.
"How can it be?!"
Looking at the monster in front of him, he found it hard to understand.
At his level of cultivation, he had long since abandoned prejudices based on appearance, and when he looked at people, he judged them more based on the other person's heart and soul.
So even though Zheng Shu's appearance had undergone extreme changes before, Yi was not worried, because in his opinion, the other party's soul was still rational.
As long as the soul has not changed, no matter how hideous the appearance becomes, Yidu can still talk to it calmly.
Because he knew very well that the other party was essentially a being with whom he could communicate.
However, just now, the "person" in front of him changed and turned into a real "monster"!
"interesting……"
The silver-white giant lowered his head again and moved it closer to the thing imprisoned in the crystal. His spirit emitted fluctuations with clear meaning.
However, after understanding the meaning contained in the other party's mental fluctuations, he felt a chill down his spine.
Even when Zheng Shu looked like a spider before, he was still a human being at heart. And now, even though his appearance is more like a human, he is still a real monster at heart.
The communication ability that the other party just demonstrated was not real intelligence, but a disguise to capture prey.
This is just like in some horror legends, some bears in the deep mountains and forests would hide the corpse of a human being, with only the head, shoulders and one arm left, behind a rock and then hold it up and shake it to attract more humans to come and be eaten by him.
However, the horror in my heart did not last long and soon turned into fear.
Just after the silver-white monster emitted its mental fluctuations, Yi's body involuntarily recovered quickly because he felt the fear in his heart.
The limbs that grew rapidly from the body also attracted the monster's attention.
So the simulated "personality" of Ort quickly recalled his mission.
"Food...prey!"
As the dark blue pupils on the mask shone brightly, the silver-white monster spread its limbs and stretched its body.
The sturdy carapace and blue-green crystals on the body began to flow like liquid. Almost half of the body, including the chest, completely melted and turned into a group of tentacles that wrapped around everything.
Before he could even resist, he discovered that his environment had changed. Judging from the silver shell and blue-green crystals around his body, he should be trapped inside the other person's body.
He frowned involuntarily, thinking about the other party's mental fluctuations just now.
"This guy, does he really want to eat me?" Then his expression quickly relaxed, "Forget it, since he has to do this to calm down, then let him eat me.
Anyway, I have figured out the composition of his abilities. After he is resurrected, I will develop new technologies based on his abilities. Next time, I will capture him and then negotiate with him. This little guy should be able to appreciate my efforts. "
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and mobilized his Tao, ready to revive immediately after his body and soul completely collapsed.
however……
"How is this possible?! My true spirit that has merged with the Heavenly Dao... is disappearing?!"
Looking at his body and soul that had been half-digested, and feeling his true spirit disappearing at the same time, Yi immediately realized that what Zheng Shu had said before was not an exaggeration.
"How is it possible to have such ability?!"
The real death crisis that he hadn't experienced in many years almost crushed Yi's spirit. Controlled by his survival instinct, he resisted involuntarily.
But for Ort's body, how could the "food" that had been eaten resist it?
Not only was he unable to mobilize his own Dao, but even the connection between him and the Heavenly Dao was taken away, making it impossible for the immortal to abandon his body and merge with the Heavenly Dao again.
He tried every possible way but still couldn't escape, and Zheng Shu was completely consumed by endless confusion and fear.
……
……
"Digestion complete. As expected, to deal with such beings, one must specialize in their own fields."
Feeling that his body had been completely dealt with, Zheng Shu completely crushed the fake personality he had just created, allowing his main will to control the body again.
Feeling the changes taking place in his body, Zheng Shu nodded with satisfaction.
As one of Ort's few special abilities, "Predation" is very simple and has a narrow range of applications, but its effect is extremely powerful.
In the Type-Moon world, the data of the servants eaten by Ort will be taken away from the higher-dimensional Throne of Heroes.
Once the entire Servant is completely eaten, the other party's data on the Throne of Heroes will completely disappear, and even the history represented by that Servant will be eaten as well.
So for Oort, it is naturally good at preying on various abstract concepts.
The ability of immortals to entrust their true spirits to the way of heaven and to be able to resurrect continuously is indeed difficult for other people to deal with, but it is unlucky for him to meet Zheng Shu who has strengthened the Ort strengthening template, and he has walked right into the trap.
Of course, Oort's hunting ability is not limited to this. After "predation", there is also "mimicry".
The so-called "mimicry" means that Ort "imitates" the abilities of the creatures it preys on.
The definition of the ability to mimic is quite broad, ranging from "speaking like a human" to "completely copying an enemy's powers."
Even if the enemy possesses rule-level power or similar powers, it can be completely "mimicked".
In fact, the power of Crystal Valley that Ort possesses, which can distort the rules, is also an ability that was mimicked after the fifth ancestor of the previous generation was devoured in the Type-Moon World.
Like now, after digesting it, Zheng Shu has completely obtained all his power. As long as Zheng Shu wants, he can make himself a new immortal.
But now Zheng Shu is too lazy to care about this matter. There is something more important to him.
"Let me see what the truth is about these things."
The huge silver-white giant curled up, forming itself into a silver-white sphere, and carefully digested the memories gained from him.
……
……
A few days later, Zheng Shu completely restrained the power of the Crystal Valley that was naturally emanating from around him, and then took out a black crystal.
A flash of light passed by, and the people and the spaceship of Wuzhen Samadhi who had been sealed by Zheng Shu with the Reverse Heaven were released again.
After seeing Zheng Shu's appearance, a group of people including Wu Da were shocked. After Zheng Shu's "nuclear and kind" explanation, they believed that the silver-white giant in front of them was Zheng Shu.
After a period of chaos, the group of people from Wu Zheng Samadhi regained their composure and sailed away from this tragic area.
Zheng Shu also retracted his keratin back into his body on his back and flew away with them.
During this process, he separated out a portion of his keratin and kneaded it into a doll that was almost the same size as his own body. The doll entered the spacecraft and talked with Wu Da.
"I never thought you would actually do it."
In the reception room, Wu Da couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief after listening to Zheng Shu's brief description of the process.
Even if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you can imagine how critical the situation was just by imagining it.
After a brief sigh, Wu Da's attention was drawn to another aspect:
"According to what you said, you have obtained the memory of the guy who calls himself an immortal. So, have you obtained all the answers?"
"Almost. Which part do you want to know the answer to?" The figure made entirely of silver-white shell lay on the sofa, looking contented.
"Hey! Now that I have this opportunity, of course I want to ask about what happened. After all, we have plenty of time." Wu Da's eyes were shining with excitement and curiosity.
Zheng Shu touched the head of the puppet he had made temporarily and thought for a moment:
"Okay, let me think about how to explain it to you."
……
……
The original origin of immortals is actually very simple. In an unknown galaxy outside the Milky Way, there is a civilization that has developed genetic technology and life evolution to the extreme.
Their appearance is very similar to that of humans, or rather, humans' appearance evolved towards their appearance.
Until one day, all individuals under this civilization have evolved their lives to a certain limit. In order to be able to evolve their lives further, the entire civilization began to prepare for a grand collective ascension ceremony.
Strictly speaking, they succeeded, and all the people in the entire civilization evolved to a level that could be called immortals.
But on the other hand, they also failed.
In order to cross the final evolutionary threshold, they chose to merge a trace of their core will with the will of the world.
It is what is called: entrusting a trace of true spirit to the way of heaven.
This civilization is indeed powerful. With its ultimate life evolution, every individual can be regarded as a star-destroyer-level life form.
Even though the galaxy where they were born may be larger than the Milky Way, facing hundreds of billions of individuals of this level, other civilizations in the galaxy can only kneel at their feet.
But even for such a powerful civilization, the combined power of all individuals is insignificant compared to the world will of the entire universe. So at the moment they successfully evolve, all individuals within this civilization are completely assimilated by the world consciousness.
Just like a drop of ink falling into the ocean, the individual's will is infinitely diluted by the world consciousness, and the entire civilization cannot even condense a consciousness that can be called an individual existence.
So, after a successful evolution, this civilization disappeared forever.
"Wait a minute, according to what you said, hasn't this civilization completely disappeared? Could it be that someone has dug their graves?" Wu Da discovered the problem with Zheng Shu's narrative background.
"That's not the case. Just like what Yi said, the subsequent changes are actually the disasters that naturally occurred after the birth of the immortal."
