Chapter 369 Combination Mode, Soul Subservient
As soon as he came out, Ye Yang immediately immersed his consciousness into the Devouring World and began to deduce and comprehend it.
He only stopped after seven years.
"Sigh, I've been wrong all along."
Although he sighed, he was actually laughing: "Why would I need to fuse and study each of the scale patterns on that serpentine bead one by one?"
「一阶1万1664片鳞甲，二阶124万8048片，三阶7748万2980片，四阶35亿1679万1256片，那幺五阶就是1276亿8671万6172片！」
"This is only the fifth tier; there are still 215 tiers of scale armor to come. Each tier is more difficult than the last. If we forcefully deduce and fuse them one by one, we'd never finish!"
"It's a good thing I had that kind of perseverance to forcefully deduce it to the fourth tier. But after the fifth tier, I can't continue to deduce it like this anymore, it's too inefficient—there are actually several similar patterns within each tier of the scale armor system."
「比如五阶鳞甲体系，分为：1时5空、2时4空、3时3空、4时2空、5时1空，共五种模式。五种模式，即可诠释1276亿8671万6172片五阶鳞甲的所有奥妙！」
"As long as you grasp the patterns of these few models, no amount of combination of essential elements can confuse me."
Ye Yang continued to analyze the combinatorial patterns, and soon, five years later, he deciphered the second fifth-order pattern.
The third mode will be introduced after the New Year. Eight years later, he will have deciphered all five fifth-order modes!
Based on these five models, Ye Yang deduced the remaining 1276 billion fifth-tier scales in just 20 years!
Although the difficulty far exceeds the sum of the first to fourth tiers of the scale armor system, the time it takes is only a fraction of what it took to comprehend the first tier snake scale system back then.
Having thoroughly comprehended the fifth-tier scale armor system in one go, Ye Yang felt an increasing sense of importance in broadening his horizons.
"When the blind spots of logic are illuminated, it can very well trigger a revolutionary breakthrough!"
He withdrew his consciousness from the world he was devouring and continued his study tour.
More than four hundred years later.
"it's over."
After flying out of the world portal of the last dungeon on the travel list, Ye Yang let out a long sigh.
Although only 2200 years have passed in standard time, Ye Yang subjectively feels as if he has traveled through various worlds for 1.5 years!
Completely different cultivation systems, races, cultures, and ways of thinking—each time brought him an incredibly novel experience and a profound impact!
Ye Yang's understanding of laws that are similar yet not entirely the same in most worlds, such as spacetime, the five elements, yin and yang, and the soul, has also reached a whole new level.
During this time, he had a sudden inspiration and realized that the method of comprehending and deducing the serpent scale secret pattern system of the spacetime fusion law by "combining patterns" is the embodiment of this special understanding.
"Go home."
Ye Yang returned to the planet where the Jili Dao Meridian was based. For him, home was where his family was. Therefore, neither Ling Shu Star, where he and his mother had moved away, nor Ming Hong Star, which was still under construction, could be considered home.
"You brat, it's been over two thousand years and you haven't come back even once."
The True Immortal of Zhushan displayed the majesty of his grandmaster when facing Ye Yang.
Hearing that his true form was finally returning, he quickly pulled me, the True Immortal, back with him.
In fact, I, the True Immortal, had already basically completed my ascension a long time ago, but it seems that there was some problem with the subsequent cultivation of True Meaning Martial Arts. He has been hiding in his own star, tinkering with the subsequent Immortal-level cultivation methods.
Therefore, Ye Yang had only chatted with his master online for the past two thousand years.
"Since you haven't come back, your master has been hiding in his star and won't come out. He's probably been shocked by your sudden attainment of the Star Lord Dao Fruit and has been brewing some kind of trick up his sleeve," said True Immortal Zhushan.
"Haven't I always had a cluster of fungal offspring mimicking a human form left here?" Ye Yang's human form asked in confusion.
Zhushan Zhenxian sighed helplessly: "You yourself said it's an avatar. How can an avatar and the original be the same thing?"
As the two were talking, a celestial ship finally docked in the planet's orbit, and then a streak of light fell directly to the ground, transforming into a handsome and imposing man in the open space in front of them.
However, that was just an illusion. With his current level of cultivation, Ye Yang could see through the illusion at a glance—this person was clearly a bald, burly man!
His head was like a big light bulb.
"Um?"
Ye Yang was stunned for a moment, and then he recognized the man from his facial features as the True Immortal Who Sees Me.
"Master, are you going to cultivate yourself to become a Buddha?"
Faced with Ye Yang's sarcastic remarks, the previously somewhat spirited expression on Wo Zhenxian's face instantly crumbled: "Become a Buddha my ass!"
"It was just that something unexpected happened when I was creating the Immortal-level True Meaning Martial Arts Cultivation Method."
As he spoke, he touched his bald head with a touch of melancholy: "Not only has my once-beautiful hair disappeared, but all the other body hair on me is gone too. This is considered a Dao injury," he said, "fixed by the power of the Great Dao, and cannot be changed."
Ye Yang remained silent.
Upon inquiry, I learned that the situation was extremely dangerous, and that the price I, a true immortal, had paid was only the concept of losing all the hair on my body, which was already very light.
"I may have gone bald, but I've also become stronger!"
Seeing my confidence, the True Immortal said, "Don't underestimate me just because my current Great Dao realm is only at the peak of True Immortal. In a real fight, even the Great Dao power of a Star Lord level would have difficulty wearing down my fully formed Dao-bound physical body!"
"And if they can't do anything to me, I can tear down an entire constellation!"
"That's amazing! How did you train?" Ye Yang asked curiously.
Upon seeing me, the True Immortal, I will immediately recount the Immortal-level True Meaning Martial Arts that I created.
The "Star Ascension Method" essentially transforms seventh-level cultivators into Dao-based beings that exist on the material and energy foundation of stars.
The true entity is one or more planets that have been refined.
However, the characteristics of True Meaning Martial Arts dictate that unless practitioners reshape their cognition, it is impossible for them to transform their race into a celestial life form.
So how did Ye Yang solve it?
The answer is simple: the fungus can multiply and transform into stars!
He has shaped the understanding of fungal morphology into a trinity, and the essence of fungal morphology is the fungal cell and the tree-like fractal hyphal structure formed by its differentiation and growth.
But just as humans can twist their limbs and bodies into various postures, a large number of hyphae can also twist and overlap to form various macroscopic structures, and naturally they can also transform into stars.
Ye Yang solves problems in this simple and direct way.
But clearly, he can't see that I am a true immortal, so he must maintain his human form!
So there's only one final result: to transform a star into a plasma fire giant two to three million kilometers tall!
But the main world is not like the Devouring World, which has laws that support such alien colossal creatures!
Under the influence of gravity, all matter becomes soft and pliable. Once a certain limit is exceeded, it will eventually shrink into a sphere. This is the limitation of the laws of the world.
To forcibly violate such a law and maintain a humanoid star form would require an enormous amount of energy every moment.
When stars are in their most natural operating state, energy consumption is minimized!
Obviously, forcibly maintaining human form would consume a large portion of the star's power, making me, a True Immortal, inherently weaker than other True Immortals. How can that be allowed?
There was no other way but to find another path. Inspired by the embryo still in the womb, I saw the method of "I, the True Immortal, create the body of the Dao" and refined a Dao body embryo inside the star.
Like Pangu in mythology, he was gestating in a chaotic placenta before he was born, constantly accumulating power.
Once born, it will unleash a power that can create the world!
"Yes, indeed. After years of tempering, the Great Dao will naturally acquire this Dao Body quality, thus giving the immortal body that travels outside this world this ability and providing all-round enhancement."
Ye Yang stroked his chin and nodded, saying, "When we build the second phase, I'll refine one of the auxiliary stars using this method and see if there's anything worth improving."
Upon hearing this, I, the True Immortal, immediately felt my mood sour again.
Ye Yang, the apprentice, has already begun preparing for the second phase of construction of his constellation, while his master is now finding it difficult to refine a second star.
Seeing my situation, it is much more difficult for other True Immortals to refine a second star. It is as if all my efforts have been concentrated on that "Dao-formed physical body".
The next method of cultivation will not be to refine more stars, but to increase the mass of the original stars.
Back at the manor, they pulled Qian Tong, who had become a homebody, out, and together with a few of Ye Yang's close uncles and nephews, they had a small gathering.
This time, there were no damned Void Fungi causing trouble.
"Mom, you need to hurry. The lifespan of a sixth-level cultivator is not long, and even a seventh-level cultivator's peak lifespan is only ten thousand years."
Ye Yang was telling Qian Tong about her future cultivation plans.
With a wealth of cultivation resources, Qian Tong had already broken through to the sixth level of the True Reality stage several hundred years ago, but achieving the Great Dao was not so easy.
More than two thousand years have passed, and many of Qian Tong's friends have died of old age. Her personality has also changed a bit, and she is now a shut-in who is addicted to the internet all day long.
If Ye Yang hadn't kept a fungal fruiting body by her side for the past two thousand years, she would probably be even more decadent.
In fact, whether in terms of experience or temperament, Ye Yang is much older than Qian Tong, so it's a bit unclear who is the elder and who is the younger.
After a month of relaxation, Ye Yang's consciousness once again descended upon the Devouring World.
Over the course of more than two thousand years of traveling through the heavens, ten thousand years have also passed on the side of the Devouring World.
Ten thousand years is a very short time for immortal gods, but the discussion about Ye Yang in the universe has long since ceased.
Every day there are new things happening in the universe. Even though Ye Yang's feat of killing the main battle clone of the universe overlord Ni Tong Venerable was very amazing, only the three universe lords from the three major camps of the demon race, insect race, and mechanical race who received the mission to assassinate Ye Yang truly kept this matter in mind.
Yes, in order to eliminate Ye Yang the next time he appears, the three major alliance forces directly arranged for three universe masters to do nothing but keep an eye on the news!
Besides Ye Yang, the news that the true identity of the human Daohe King was actually Luo Feng thousands of years ago also spread due to a confrontation between the Lord of Sirius and the Lord of Chaos City.
For a time, all races seemed to see the shadow of Ye Yang from back then. After Luo Feng entered the Ancestral Mystic Realm Inheritance Land, they all sent high-level cosmic Venerables to deal with him.
Back then, Ye Yang was in such a sorry state when he was being chased by a beginner-level Venerable of the universe. Shouldn't it be possible to send a high-level Venerable of the universe to deal with Luo Feng, who is not that overpowered?
Unexpectedly, Luo Feng not only possessed a supreme treasure for soul defense, making him extremely resilient to soul illusions, but he also had the ability to create clones!
Then came a series of deadly traps set up against Luo Feng, two of which were even a hundred times more dangerous than those set against Ye Yang back then, yet Luo Feng still managed to survive to this day.
Finally, Luo Feng obtained the seawater of the Netherworld Life in the Nine Netherworld Space-Time. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to nurture the Netherworld Avatar.
Ye Yang once asked Luo Feng why, and Luo Feng replied: "The races of the universe don't yet know what characteristics my brother's third form has. If I were to create the same clone and it were exposed when I roam the universe, allowing the enemy to know how to deal with the weaknesses of this kind of life form, then that would be my fault."
"I don't want to be caught in this dilemma. I don't want to be constrained even after creating a third clone. I might as well choose to create the Nether Sea! The Nether Sea, billions of light-years away, is exciting to think about. Even your fungal clone might not be able to reach that scale, brother."
Ye Yang didn't know what to say.
After that, Luo Feng became engrossed in cultivation and creating and improving secret techniques, disappearing from public view just like Ye Yang.
"Let's continue researching soul resonance."
As soon as his consciousness returned, Ye Yang continued his unfinished exploration.
A hundred years, a thousand years —
Ye Yang drew inspiration from the soul link between the Zerg Queen and the Zerg warriors, which greatly accelerated the progress.
By chance, the water level rose. Ye Yang did not actively comprehend the fundamental laws of metal, but his understanding of the laws of metal was perfected.
His understanding of the Law of Metal was already quite profound, coupled with his possession of the original Golden Horned Beast form and over two thousand years of experience traveling through countless worlds, witnessing the world laws representing the concept of "metal" in many different realms—
The understanding of "gold" has reached the level of "Tao"!
Even if the laws of the world are different, it is very easy to grasp the essence and understand the laws of one's own place.
At this point, Ye Yang had comprehended two fundamental laws.
It doesn't help improve combat power in the short term.
Then, another 3000 years passed.
Ye Yang's new secret method, which he had been racking his brains for, has finally taken shape!
He named this secret technique "Soul Subservience".
"Between master and servant, they are still considered two distinct individuals. But between the main body and its subordinates, in a sense, they have already become a unified whole!"
Of course, it is detachable. What is distorted and modified is only the soul of the vassal. The main body can discard the vassal at any time without affecting itself.
"Between the subject and the subordinate, the souls can resonate, reaching a state of perfect harmony, as if they were one. In this state, even the soul aura—the soul aura of the subordinate—will be infected and transformed by the subject, becoming similar."
With the special soul technique "Soul Subservience" combined with the theory of thought algorithms, Ye Yang's idea of "Zerg Overlord" could finally be realized.
The fungus clones mimic trillions of Zerg warriors, and then uses the Zerg Queen as a control node to manipulate the thousand-fold genetically engineered Zerg warriors mimicked by the mycelium!
This was to compensate for Ye Yang's weakness—his inability to maintain extremely high operational precision while being distracted by trillions of dollars.
Only by transforming his Zerg queens into soul vassals can Ye Yang truly become their master, uniting the Zerg swarm into one and making it the true will of the Zerg!
This is Ye Yang's one-third of the path, the path of fungal morphology.
