Complete Possession!
At the instant Su Ming Possessed a hundredth of the tree, Ecang's will withered away, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace. It was completely replaced by Su Ming's soul, causing the purple Ecang tree to become Su Ming's clone from then on!
It was also at that instant that Su Ming completely Possessed the tree that waves of vast and ancient memories surged into his soul like a tidal wave.
The memories were incredibly jumbled up, causing Su Ming's soul to immediately feel as if it was swelling up. Stabbing pain filled his soul, as if it was being branded deeply into his soul by the memories. The pain was difficult to describe with words … but at the same time, Su Ming could sense that his soul was swiftly becoming stronger. As the memories gathered together and his soul continued becoming stronger, he could sense his level of cultivation going through a drastic change.
He seemed to have understood the changes in the world in an instant. The places where his thoughts had been blocked off in the past were all opened up at that instant.
The one hundred thousand galaxies, the one hundred thousand golden seas, and the one hundred thousand Ecang trees in the one hundred thousand planets shuddered at the same time. At the instant Su Ming sensed that he had become Ecang, he immediately sensed that there were many more galaxies beyond the one hundred thousand galaxies in the universe.
There were nine wills that did not lose to him in those galaxies. Each of them contained the power of one hundred thousand galaxies, and at that moment, they were gathering together and surrounding the one hundred thousand galaxies that belonged to Su Ming. They looked as if they wanted to charge towards him, but were lingering around.
There was no need for Su Ming to think too much about it. He could already tell that the nine wills lingering around the area were the remaining nine parts of the Ecang tree after it had split up.
In the past, when Ecang had split into ten parts, they had used Western Ring Nebula's foreign land to heal themselves. If Su Ming had not appeared, then perhaps after a long period of time had passed, they would have devoured each other and gathered together to form the true Ecang. Yet now, as Su Ming appeared and successfully Possessed the purple Ecang, the ripples of power that spread out from the purple Ecang before it died caused the other nine wills to arrive and devour him beforehand.
If Su Ming was interrupted during the critical moment before he could form his clone and was devoured by the other nine wills, then even if he Possessed the purple Ecang, he would still not gain any benefits from it. He would only end up as one of the true Ecang's souls.
Originally, the nine wills would have instantly spread to the one hundred thousand galaxies of the purple Ecang and carry out a brutal devouring and fusion process. When the purple Ecang Su Ming Possessed was completely devoured, the nine wills would have become much stronger.
In fact, before the purple Ecang died, it had sent a divine thought to the other nine wills. This was what it had originally planned to do, because it had once made a promise with the other nine Ecang souls. Before the ten of their souls had completely recovered, they would not devour each other. They would only devour each other once they were complete. If that was the case, they would be able to give birth to a true Ecang that was completely unharmed and even stronger!
That was why if the purple Ecang's divine thought did not exist, the other nine Ecang souls would not have come. However, even the purple Ecang Su Ming Possessed did not expect that Su Ming's Possession would not wipe out the other party's soul in the traditional sense. He would only Possess the other party's body, which was why it had miscalculated.
This sort of traditional Possession would cause the other nine wills to reject Su Ming violently, and they would immediately rush in to devour him. However, Su Ming's Possession was an Abyss Builder's inborn ability. This sort of Possession did not just require the body, but also the soul. In fact, he would also need to obtain the brand of life. He would need to gather together a new body from within the purple Ecang's body. It did not matter whether it was the presence of that body or all signs of life, they would completely belong to Ecang.
It was just like how when Su Ming Possessed one of the three Crimson Python Phoenixes in the past, the other two had not noticed him. Instead, they had always believed that Su Ming was their companion. In fact, their presences had not even changed.
This was the Abyss Builders' Possession!
It was also the key to the purple Ecang's failure, even if it died!
More accurately speaking, the Abyss Builders' Possession was divided into three steps. The first step was to pass off the fake as the real one. This was the initial stage of Possession, and it could be seen as the invasion of the soul, just like the purple Ecang just now and the Crimson Python Phoenix devouring Su Ming's soul in the past.
The fake here was referring to Su Ming's soul, and the real here was referring to the other party's body and mind.
The second step was to steal the sky and replace the sun. He would completely Possess the other party's body, mind, and even the brand of life. In fact, once he Possessed the other party's Life Matrix and made it his own, it would be as if he had replaced the sun and moon in the sky. At that moment, Su Ming was in the process of completing this step. Once he successfully Possessed the other party, he would replace the sun and moon in the sky.
The main point was to replace them, not wipe them out. That was why there was the third step.
Turning something rotten into something magical.
The rotten symbolized the past, and the magical symbolized the future. The change between the rotten and the magical was like a rebirth. With the rotting of the past, the magical would be reborn.
This step was what Su Ming was prepared to do at that moment.
From a certain point of view, there was not much difference between Su Ming and Ecang. In fact, to a certain extent, they … were the same!
Ecang used Sui Chen Zi's death to be born and devoured Divine Essence. Su Ming was reborn from Ecang's body and absorbed what Ecang absorbed. He also devoured everything that belonged to Ecang. In fact, if he looked at it from another angle, the Abyss Builders were even more domineering than Ecang.
Because …
"You devoured the universe's Divine Essence to be born, and I devoured Ecang's life to live," Su Ming mumbled. Su Ming mumbled. As the chaotic memories in his soul continued being branded into his mind like a storm, Su Ming gained an even deeper understanding towards the Abyss Builders' inborn ability to Possess others.
After all, since ancient times, he was the only one among the Abyss Builders who could devour Ecang, a unique life form in the universe like Su Ming!
"Abyss Builders … are like small fishes that eat shrimps to live, but big fishes eat small fishes to live. The strong prey on the weak … I didn't expect that these words would be displayed so vividly in the Abyss Builders' inborn ability." The black venous pathways and the black hearts in the one hundred thousand purple Ecang trees turned into one hundred thousand Su Ming's faces at that moment. As he mumbled to himself, he also found the reason why the other nine Ecang wills were lingering outside.
'To them, my presence is not much different from the purple Ecang's, but since I haven't completed the third step, there are some differences. That's why they might be lingering around hesitantly, but they won't leave.
'This phenomenon will continue until I complete the third step of Possession and turn something rotten into something extraordinary. Only then will it end … 'The eyes of the one hundred thousand Su Ming faces shone at the same time, and a freezing glare shone in them.
'I need time. It might not be a long time, but it might be a long time. Besides, my soul will fall into deep sleep. After all … the purple Ecang is not like the Crimson Python Phoenix, which can instantly form clones. The purple Ecang is too big …
'During this period of time, whether it will be a long or short one, these nine wills will be a latent threat. If they continue lingering around, I won't be able to bet my life on them not coming to devour me.
'Fortunately, I have the black stone fragment. By the looks of it, the Seed of Life Extermination mentioned by the purple Ecang seems to have come from the same era as the bald crane. That's why Ecang said the word 'also' just now.
'I actually failed as well … '
'Once I Possess the purple Ecang, the secrets of the ancient era and Sui Chen Zi's era will slowly appear in my world. At this moment, I no longer have Yin Death Region's wills manipulating me, and I no longer have Di Tian's plans and control me. From now on … I will be myself!
'The only thing I need to be wary of is … that Di Tian will not be willing to accept his plan to spy on us Abyss Builders failing. Since he can't control my soul, then he will definitely choose to use all his strength to plant his roots in my physical body, which is currently in the land of the Immortals!
'Because he knows that my physical body is my foundation. In the end, I will retrieve my physical body. Protecting my physical body is the same as having a hold on my Achilles heel.
'But … my physical body is my Achilles heel, and it is also … Di Tian's Achilles heel! ' At that moment, Su Ming was different from before. This difference was like a fish returning to the sea, like a tiger returning to the forest, like a dragon returning to the clouds. It was a form of confidence and presence that would naturally appear when no one else controlled his own fate and when he had control over himself.
At that moment, Su Ming was the real Su Ming.
As he mumbled softly to himself, the black stone fragment erupted with a bang. Based on Su Ming's will, it immediately manifested the purple Ecang's soul and presence to make up for the fact that Su Ming had yet to complete the third step in his Possession. That was why his soul and presence were slightly lacking, and Su Ming sent his divine thought outwards.
"Some cultivators tried to Possess me and almost succeeded … but in the end, they still failed. I … am still me. The promise between our souls is still in effect. Now … stay away from my one hundred thousand galaxies!
We have not reached the final stage of devouring and fusing with each other! " As Su Ming's divine thought and the presence of Ecang's soul formed by the black stone fragment spread out violently, the nine wills of Ecang's soul lingering around the one hundred thousand galaxies gradually dissipated. After a moment, they disappeared from Su Ming's senses.
As the nine wills of Ecang's soul disappeared, the edges of the one hundred thousand galaxies where Su Ming was started showing signs of fusing with each other. One hundred thousand galaxies were gradually turning into one.
At the same time, the one hundred thousand Ecang trees that had been separated into one hundred thousand started showing signs of gathering together. Su Ming's soul gradually sank into deep sleep.
"When I wake up again, I can sense that my other clone will become even stronger. My level of cultivation will surpass my current level of cultivation. This Ecang clone of mine … will become my strongest foundation in the future!
"I look forward … to the time when I wake up … and I will be different from before!" Su Ming mumbled. The one hundred thousand faces with the black venous pathways slowly closed their eyes. A fusion, a rebirth, a serendipity, and the final gathering of an Ecang clone began just like that.
