Yes, it was consciousness, not willpower.
There seemed to be no difference, but in reality, the difference was huge.
Willpower referred to the core of this origin, but it did not necessarily have consciousness.
To use a simple analogy, willpower was equivalent to a soul, which meant that it was alive. However, being alive did not mean that it was awake. A vegetable was also alive.
Lin Xiao's original core of the crystal wall system was equivalent to a vegetable. It only had a body and a soul, but it did not have much power. That was why he could control it completely.
However, after this nightmare's willpower origin was injected, it was equivalent to a vegetable waking up. It had an independent consciousness and could move freely and do what it wanted to do.
This was the difference, but it was not the result Lin Xiao wanted.
He had spent so much effort to fix this thing. Was he going to give it to someone else just like that?
Once this crystal wall system's original core developed a true consciousness, it would definitely not allow him to continue controlling it completely. This was impossible. It would definitely go against him in order to gain freedom. This was the nature of life.
That was why Lin Xiao had only hesitated for a moment before he had to make a decision. He would devour this nightmare's willpower origin that was starting to fuse with the crystal wall system's original core. He would replace the nightmare's willpower origin and become the consciousness of this crystal wall system's original core.
In other words, he would change his body.
He could not say that he had changed his body. His original divine body was 100% contaminated and could no longer be used. Even if he could return alive, he would have to use his divine power to reforge his divine body.
Compared to reforging his divine body, using this crystal wall system's original core as his divine body …
It was not unacceptable.
After all, for a god, whether it was becoming a demigod or a true god in the future, their physical body would transform twice. The core would be the soul. During the transformation, the physical body would use the spirit and divine title as the foundation to transform into a divine body that was most compatible with the rules and divine title that they controlled.
In any case, it would transform anyway. He was just transforming earlier.
Also, using the crystal wall system's original core as his divine body was definitely better than using any other divine body.
Not only was it stronger, but it also had greater potential.
Currently, he had not completely refined the remnant soul in the Tesseract of Good Fortune. He only needed to wait until he refined it and fused his spirit with the crystal wall system's original core to reforge his divine body. Then, he would know what the result of using this as his divine body would be.
Boom!
A loud sound that even his mountain-like body could not block out appeared in Lin Xiao's consciousness. He looked towards the direction of the sound and saw a massive figure that was over two thousand meters tall rising from the sea filled with gray fog.
His soul, which had undergone a qualitative change, allowed him to ignore almost all spiritual attacks, allowing him to look directly at those indescribably terrifying existences.
In other words, the current Lin Xiao was also one of the indescribably terrifying existences to ordinary people.
As the huge figure covered in mud stepped on the island, the mountain of flesh in the center of the island seemed to be stimulated and began to tremble. Then, several kilometers of arms stretched out from the rolling fog and supported the mountain of flesh. The turbulent gray fog surged in all directions along the ground like a tide.
It wasn't Lin Xiao who was controlling the mountain of flesh. Instead, it was a new consciousness that had been born in the mountain of flesh while he was sleeping.
This new consciousness controlled the mountain of flesh to let out a soundless roar that could only be heard on the spiritual level. The earth cracked, the island cracked, and the sky was filled with gray fog. Waves of suffocating, terrifying waves surged in all directions.
The Nightmare Children on the ironclad warship anchored at sea couldn't bear the terrifying spiritual waves head-on. They had to order the warship to retreat further. They didn't dare to look directly at the intruder and could only observe from other angles through a water mirror.
"What a powerful existence. I'm afraid that even the knights can't resist this power."
"It should be second only to the lords. In this world, it has power comparable to the lords."
"If we can kill one and transform into a Nightmare, then …"
The other five Nightmare Children looked at Max at the same time. Their expressions seemed to say, "Are you dreaming?"
Max asked back.
"Haven't you thought about it?"
Jovis nodded and shook his head.
"We thought about it, but it's meaningless. Our domain can't bear such a terrifying existence."
"Then what if the six of us share it?"
The Nightmare Children paused. Max continued, "Captain, you must have thought about it.
"Captain, you must have such an idea when you stopped. If one of the gods is killed by another later, if you can get a part of the god's body, maybe you can use it as a foundation to cultivate a powerful Nightmare Beast with the flesh of a god."
"It may be difficult and dangerous, but if we succeed, our strength will increase exponentially."
This sentence was very tempting. At least the six Nightmare Children were tempted.
After a long silence, Jovis said, "Let's observe first.
If there's a chance, we'll talk about it. "
The cabin fell into silence again. The six Nightmare Children stood in a circle and stared at the water mirror in the center. What was shown in the mirror was a mass of gray mist that couldn't be seen with the naked eye. Waves of substantial waves and pitch-black light beams were constantly spurting out of the gray mist.
The two terrifying existences that could be called Gods in this world fought. The surrounding sea creatures fled. The world was in chaos, and the battle situation couldn't be seen clearly. But Lin Xiao, who was inside the meatball, could see the battle situation clearly.
The huge meatball that he was in seemed to be at a disadvantage in the battle.
The meatball that he was in wasn't the meatball that was born in the divine territory and fought with the Nightmare Wills. It was the meatball that was formed after he devoured the Nightmare Wills and souls. After returning from the war, his contaminated God's body was deformed into a monster. After devouring all the life on the island, it formed a mountain of flesh that looked very similar to the meatball.
After all, it was just a divine creature that wasn't even a Demigod. Even if it was deformed and expanded, it couldn't compare to a real God that was three thousand meters tall. This was not the kind that looked like a Dharma Idol in the divine territory. This was a real and terrifying body. So soon after the battle, the mountain of flesh was at a disadvantage.
But after all, the size was here. Even if it was at a disadvantage, it wouldn't be defeated or die for a while.
Moreover, in order to let himself transform smoothly, Lin Xiao kept providing soul power to his depraved and deformed God's body.
Not for anything else, but to make it last a little longer. As long as he could finish his transformation, it would be okay.
At the same time, he also sped up the purification of the remaining souls. He had already purified and devoured more than ninety percent of the souls. The purification speed of the remaining souls would be greatly increased.
This battle started by an indigenous Evil God of this world lasted for nearly half a month. The terrifying size and power directly shattered the island. Even the battlefield had unknowingly moved into the sea. The original location of the island had been submerged by the sea.
The six Nightmare Wills' ironclad warships were far behind. They didn't dare to approach at all.
After half a month, even with Lin Xiao's continuous support, there was still a gap in strength. In the end, the mountain of flesh was still not a match for the challenger. In the end, it was completely at a disadvantage. Dozens of arms that were a few kilometers long were mostly torn off and sunk into the sea. Only a few were left struggling. Defeat was close at hand.
"Rip!"
A piece of flesh that was a few hundred meters long was torn off. The monster that was covered in black sludge reached out its huge hand and grabbed the mountain of flesh. It tore off a large piece of flesh and threw it into the sea.
The dark red blood flowed into the sea and began to crazily devour the nutrients in the sea. A liquid creature that was a mixture of seawater and blood was about to take shape. However, it was instantly crushed into powder by the terrifying power of the Evil God of Sludge.
The torn flesh sank into the sea and disappeared. However, not long after, the black seawater boiled and a piece of deformed flesh full of tentacles floated up. More than a dozen black tentacles that were a few hundred meters long held strangely shaped sea creatures. There was no lack of huge monsters among them.
The Nightmare Wills were excited, nervous, and full of anticipation as they looked at the Chaos that was about to determine the victor. They hoped that there would be some bodies left after the battle.
In the depths of the mountain of flesh that was violently hammered, the core of the crystal wall system that contained Lin Xiao's soul finally purified and devoured the last of the souls.
When all the souls were devoured, the amalgamation of souls was finally complete. Millions of purified souls gathered in the shell of the core of the crystal wall system. All the wills of the souls were purified, and only his consciousness was left. Naturally, this amalgamation of souls was unified, and his soul began to transform and sublimate.
Inside the core of the crystal wall system, with his soul that had fused with the will of the Nightmare Wills as the center, it was like a supermassive black hole in the center of a galaxy. It exuded a powerful attractive force. Every purified soul in the surroundings was a star. Countless stars began to revolve around this supermassive black hole as the center, slowly shrinking inward.
Bits of starlight were sucked into the center of the river along with the rotation of the gravitational force. The speed also became faster and faster. Soon, it began to devour and fuse at a rate of ten or twenty thousand per second. His soul began to transform.
In the dark, an indescribable feeling appeared in Lin Xiao's consciousness. He felt that his soul was growing stronger at an indescribable speed, as well as undergoing a qualitative change and sublimation.
The so-called sublimation, simply explained, meant that a low-level soul was upgraded to a high-level soul.
In the Extraordinary Domain, with Lin Xiao's current situation as an explanation, the strength of his soul had undergone a qualitative change. From the previous level of his soul, it had leaped one or more levels to another level.
Lin Xiao felt a trace of the concept of immortality from this sublimation. This was a domain that only True Gods could touch upon.
When a True God ascended to godhood, their soul would come into contact with the World's Origin Sea. When their soul roamed the Origin Sea, they would come into contact with the truth of the world, and thus, their soul would become immortal.
This was reflected in the understanding of ordinary people. True Gods were immortal and did not have the concept of lifespan. There were many rumors of True Gods falling, but they all died in battle or through other means. There had never been any rumors of True Gods dying of old age due to the exhaustion of their lifespan.
Lin Xiao did not know whether his soul was in the core of the crystal wall system or not. He also did not know whether the core of the crystal wall system was the legendary World's Origin Sea. In any case, after the transformation and sublimation, his soul had gained immortality.
Moreover, his immortality seemed to be different from the immortality of True Gods in legends. On the contrary, it was somewhat similar to a legend among the gods of the Origin World.
