After Ye Ling began to formally deduce and explore the new realm, he regretted it.
At this moment, he was experiencing unparalleled pain, and the path to exploring the new realm was far more difficult than he had imagined!
Under normal circumstances, for every small step he took on his own path, the soul power consumed was a thousand or even ten thousand times his total soul power!
In other words, without the creative power of Good to help replenish his soul power, it would take him sacrificing a thousand or even ten thousand lives to increase his strength even a little!
And the end of this road, like a long march, Ye Ling had no idea when it would end.
What was even more critical was that if it were just boring and tedious, he could endure it, but the damage to his soul also brought him unbearable pain.
Ye Ling felt as if he was constantly moving forward through mountains of knives and seas of fire, finding every step difficult.
After a long period of exploration, Ye Ling felt his consciousness becoming somewhat muddled, and he couldn't help but ask Good, "Good, why do I feel something is wrong? I've only just explored the state of no-self, and now I'm going to develop a new realm. Isn't it too early?"
Under normal circumstances, Ye Ling would need to stay in the state of no-self for a considerable period, accumulating enough foundation and broadening his horizons before attempting to break through and explore new realms.
But now, Ye Ling had only just figured out the state of no-self, and venturing into higher realms at this point was too big a leap.
The Good avatar sitting above Ye Ling seemed unconcerned. He slightly opened his eyes, looked at Ye Ling, who was painfully exploring in the darkness, and smiled, "Those who are destined for great responsibilities must first have their minds tormented, their muscles and bones strained... Kid, what you are experiencing now is far from enough. Honestly explore the new realm. The benefits after breaking through... are beyond your imagination."
"And it's too late for you to regret it now. If you don't have enough power to break the barrier I've placed on your mind, your mind will continue to accelerate like this until your strength is sufficient."
Ye Ling sighed heavily and asked Good, "Is there no other way?"
Good narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Of course there is."
Ye Ling's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly asked, "What is the other way?"
Good chuckled lightly, "Destroy my avatar."
Ye Ling: "..."
It was better to have the first method.
Ye Ling sighed slightly and said, "Forget it, I'll just continue honestly..."
He knew he had no way back, so he stopped asking Good and continued to explore the possibility of moving towards a higher realm.
Thus, day after day, year after year.
Ye Ling himself didn't know how many eons he had been trapped in this mental space, nor could he remember how much soul power he had consumed.
At this moment, he was like a machine, numbly enduring the pain, numbly deducing his new realm.
During this time, apart from providing Ye Ling with infinite spiritual power for cultivation and infinite creative power to replenish his soul, Good offered no guidance to Ye Ling.
Logically speaking, with Good's cultivation and insight, a little guidance would have saved Ye Ling a lot of detours and billions of years.
However, Good did not say a word, and Ye Ling did not ask.
For countless years, the two had not exchanged a single word.
After an eternity, Ye Ling almost forgot his name and purpose, mechanically deducing and searching for a perfect cultivation path that might not even exist.
Crack!
At a certain moment, a crisp sound came from Ye Ling's soul, causing Good to open his eyes.
Good looked at Ye Ling, whose soul was covered in cracks, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Found it... It only took thirty-five trillion years. I thought this breakthrough would take at least a hundred trillion years... Not bad!"
With that, Good raised his hand, withdrew the barrier, slowed down Ye Ling's mental speed, and synchronized the time within his body with the time outside.
"I thought this kid would need some guidance from me. Now that he has found his own path, his future is boundless!"
"Kid, next, you need to go to the Origin Upper Realm to help us attract firepower." Good chuckled, planted a glowing seed within Ye Ling's body, and then his avatar completely dissipated, returning to the Abyss of Nothingness.
Meanwhile, in a certain popular virtual online game.
Good opened his eyes slightly and saw that the Lord of the Upper Realm had led the top-ranked guild in the entire server to surround him while he was AFK.
The Lord of the Upper Realm laughed heartily, "Hahaha! Good! I am now the number one guild leader and have obtained the only divine artifact in the entire server. You have nowhere to escape today, and I will surely slay you!"
Seeing himself surrounded, Good looked at the proud Lord of the Upper Realm in front of him. Not only was he not afraid, but a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes. He said to the Lord of the Upper Realm, "Pulling someone's internet cable shouldn't count as me cheating, right?"
The Lord of the Upper Realm was stunned, "What?"
Before the Lord of the Upper Realm could react, from the Abyss of Nothingness, Good flicked his finger. A strand of spiritual energy flew out, penetrated the Lord of the Upper Realm's helmet, and directly burned out the chip in his helmet.
In the game, the Lord of the Upper Realm's connection was suddenly lost!
Good leaped up, and under everyone's watchful eyes, he sealed the Lord of the Upper Realm's throat with a sword, dropped the Lord of the Upper Realm's divine artifact, and gracefully departed.
Good instantly defeating the top guild leader caused a sensation throughout the server!
In the Abyss of Nothingness, the Lord of the Upper Realm emerged from his helmet and roared at Good angrily, "Good! Are you a sore loser? My account was almost max level!"
Good took off his helmet, created a new helmet for the Lord of the Upper Realm with his creative power, and smiled, "Don't be so angry... Actually, I know the owner of this game. I've created a hidden character account for you. If you can defeat Evil, I'll also open a backdoor for you and let you out of the Abyss of Nothingness, how about that?"
The Lord of the Upper Realm took the new helmet and asked Good, "Are you serious? Is it really a hidden character?"
"Of course! Would I lie to you?" Good chuckled, "Don't worry, I've modified this helmet for you, so Evil can't pull your internet cable."
"Hmph! I'll trust you one more time!"
The Lord of the Upper Realm snorted coldly, transformed into a black mist again, and drilled into the new helmet.
After the Lord of the Upper Realm entered the game helmet, Good looked at Evil, who was sitting cross-legged beside him, and his brow furrowed slightly, a worried look flashing in his eyes, "This is going to be a big problem..."
"I just helped little Ye Ling break through, and my focus wasn't on the game. I didn't expect Evil to be two levels higher than me... If this continues, I'm afraid I'll lose..."
As he spoke, Good flicked a wisp of spiritual energy towards Evil's game helmet, but his spiritual energy was blocked by Evil's runes outside the game helmet.
"Tsk... This guy doesn't trust me and uses runes to protect his game helmet while playing." Seeing that he couldn't pull Evil's internet cable, Good pouted and could only put on his own game helmet again to continue leveling up.
In the Abyss of Nothingness, another soul-stirring struggle for power took place.
At the same time, in the Emperor's Hall of the Chaos Battlefield, the powerful aura that Ye Ling suddenly erupted with shocked everyone present!
