Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves
Chapter 599 - 336: Wizard World, Resolved!
"This works too." Shen Yu thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
Though the world consciousness must have its own advantages, a newly ascended, time-only consciousness at the Saint Level is not enough to impose much pressure on the current Association.
At least compared to the benefits, this risk is completely worth it.
But Shen Yu still added a sentence.
"But you have to explain to Nuwa yourself, you may also need to increase the reward."
"That's only natural." Wizard Shen Yu nodded slightly.
After all, it's about bringing more pressure to the other party, hence it's reasonable to increase the reward.
And just as Wizard Shen Yu had guessed, Nuwa did not oppose it.
She only put forward a further request, hoping that when things become unfeasible or difficult to control, to promptly increase investment and hire the other two Saints from the Primordial World.
And those two free Saints are currently just in the Primordial World, helping the other three Saints resist the invasion at the Law level.
If they wish to leave, they can indeed do so at any time.
Thus, this matter was decided just like that.
Wizard Shen Yu also began to take action.
Though he intended to help the enemy complete the final growth step, Wizard Shen Yu wasn't foolish enough to offer unreserved assistance.
On one hand, he leveraged the Celestial Dao Tree to enhance the analysis and control degree over this World Laws.
On the other hand, he also used Gray Mist to lay down some traps for the enemy during the process.
Embedding some traps at this stage is evidently simpler than engaging in a hard battle later.
Meanwhile, Wizard Shen Yu was also actively digesting the techniques of the Level Ten Wizards.
Indeed, this set of techniques had already been basically acquired.
Although Wizards were reluctant to easily abandon their plans, the various contingencies they prepared were sufficient to analyze the changes in circumstances.
They realized that the appearance of Wizard Shen Yu and the Association would greatly reduce the risk of their scheme.
Thus, they were rather cooperative.
This also gave Wizard Shen Yu more confidence in conquering this world.
Overall, everything proceeded according to plan.
With the help of these techniques, Wizard Shen Yu basically understood how this special Heavenly Dao creature came into being.
It was indeed a very peculiar approach.
The Level Ten Wizards took a long time to collect the essence of life, then gradually integrated these emotions into the laws, believing that the evolution of life is born from emotions, even if initially they were disguised or feigned emotions, over time, the self would find its own way, and life would naturally be born.
Clearly, they succeeded.
The only downside is that this is uncontrollable.
The birth of emotions is inherently uncontrollable; any control program would prevent the emergence of self-awareness.
However, this flaw is not considered a flaw in the face of Gray Mist.
It's easily mended.
The rest involves the data variations within the practical experiments.
Along with the consumption of Gray Mist, all Wizards in the entire Wizard World gradually perceived the change.
Firstly, various experiments related to Extraordinary Power started becoming extremely unstable.
Secondly, many people, even many inanimate objects, began showing changes, seemingly forming the nascent form of self-awareness.
Just these two changes are enough to bring profound impacts to the entire Wizard World and all Extraordinary Worlds.
Chaos began to manifest. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Some ambitious individuals saw this change as an opportunity, believing that as long as they could control the source of this change, they could create a new path.
Others saw the danger in it and instead sought safe methods rather than control.
However, all these civilization changes have little to do with Wizard Shen Yu.
For he was frantically documenting, while knowing in his heart, that it would soon be over.
"This war might not need civilization to get involved."
Yet, just as Wizard Shen Yu was musing this, he noticed some Level Ten Wizards seemed to have received special orders, starting to appear and intervene in the development of civilization.
First, was the proclamation of the danger level of Buddhist civilization!
Wizard Shen Yu immediately grasped the reason.
"The opposition felt threatened." Wizard Shen Yu not only didn't feel danger or trouble but was somewhat excited, "It seems that, regardless of different life modes or thought logic, the first to manifest remains life's greatest instinct—survival instinct."
At this time, the Heavenly Dao consciousness hasn't taken that final step.
Self-awareness has emerged but hasn't truly perfected, just short of a little bit.
Yet, it already began actively preparing like a real life, initiating some actions.
However, just while Wizard Shen Yu was about to continue observing, he discovered all actions and preparations by the opposition once again came to a halt.
The reason is simple.
The opposition is scared.
"I must have been discovered." Nuwa was slightly helpless, "The laws of this world differ greatly from those of our own; even as I stealthily hide myself, it's difficult to ensure invisibility—not with the entire world under their control."
