Chapter 568 -394: The Essence and Source of Extraordinary Strength
“Supernatural Law Two, the Law of Supernatural Entropy Increase… Supernatural attributes will not be destroyed, but will transfer from one vessel to another, never diminishing, only increasing.”
Speaker Azjiluo said indifferently.
“However, the world will, as a result, develop from order towards disorder, eventually leading to irreversible destruction… That is the complete ‘Law of Supernatural Entropy Increase’.”
“From order to disorder, ultimately leading to destruction?”
Chen Lun was quite shocked.
The Speaker nodded.
“Looking at past eras, the direction of the world strictly adheres to this law.”
He then steered the conversation back.
“So, the question remains, where does supernatural power truly come from?”
Speaker Azjiluo slowly raised his hand.
“There is only one answer, and that is corruption!”
What appeared to be his normal hand slowly transformed into a spiky, jointed claw, covered in black spikes. Chen Lun immediately felt a wave of corruption spreading, and even though his Mysterious Resistance blocked much of it, the intense suffocation did not lessen, and his Sanity dropped.
The Speaker unveiled part of his Mythical Creature Form!
“Transcendents trekking the path of the gods essentially undergo a process of continuously receiving corruption. Once they complete their supernatural transformation and ascend to a Holy Rank, becoming Mythical Creatures, they themselves become terrifying sources of corruption… Rather than saying supernatural powers come with a trail of corruption, it’s more accurate to say that supernatural powers are merely a byproduct of corruption.”
Afterward, he reverted his claw back to its original form as a hand and remarked,
“Mortals hungrily seek the supernatural, seekers chase knowledge… Yet the truth is that corruption seeks vessels and knowledge chases humanity. Most people are unaware of this yet continue tirelessly.”
Azjiluo sat in a high seat, his hands clasped together, looking down at Chen Lun.
“Jack, much of the past history has been lost, presumably erased by beings of True God Level… Tracing the origins isn’t feasible, even I do not know where the source of corruption truly comes from, but it’s noteworthy that supernatural powers were present in the very first era, though not controlled by humans then.”
Chen Lun silently listened to these hidden truths, his astonishment spreading through his heart.
The Speaker paused slightly, then continued,
“Back then, the strongest Supernatural Creatures, we now refer them as ‘Ancient Gods’! The source of corruption might be linked to them… In other words, it’s very likely that supernatural powers have been transmitted from the ‘Ancient Gods’ to the present.”
“Ancient Gods…”
Chen Lun murmured the term, recalling the “Son of an Ancient God” he had once slain in the Spirit World alongside Mr. Pot, even his Didak Armor originated from that Ancient God’s descendant.
‘And the next update relates to the turmoil in the Spirit World, seemingly originating from that Ancient God!’
He thought for a moment, then looked up at the Speaker and said,
“I have heard of an Ancient God named ‘Distadact’ and have slain his descendant… Could he also be one of those who have lived from the very first era to today?”
The Speaker was surprised.
“I didn’t expect you to know this secret… Correct, his honorific is ‘Father of Darkness’, a powerful entity dwelling at the end of the Dark World, indeed one of the Ancient Gods who has lived through five eras.”
He pondered for a few seconds.
“The method of spreading Mystical Knowledge now, is actually what we humans have learned to do from the ‘Ancient Gods’… High-ranked beings can, through consuming corresponding Mysterious Substances, record their path of supernatural knowledge on paper, in ways we humans can comprehend… But from another perspective, this is also how high-ranked beings share the burden of corruption with others, for at my level one is compelled, constantly needing to maintain Sanity, stay lucid, and even refrain from rashly engaging in combat.”
The Speaker’s voice was calm, yet it made Chen Lun feel inexplicably creepy.
“On one hand, more Sanity is required, while on the other, pollution must be expelled; otherwise, one would lose control, descend into madness and become a Mythical monster devoid of humanity… Thus forming a cycle, affirming the Law of Supernatural Entropy Increase, leading the world from order to chaos, until its end.”
“This…?!”
A look of horror spread across Chen Lun’s face, not knowing what to say.
Speaker Azjiluo observed his reaction and his solemn expression suddenly shifted into a light chuckle, as if teasing a child, intentionally frightening him.
“Of course, you don’t need to worry too much, Jack… This Solar Era is only the Fifth Era, just over four thousand four hundred years old, far from the so-called doomsday… Even if you can witness that day, it means you have already ascended to become an Angel, an entity with limitless lifespan; I believe with the authority of an Angel, you could avoid the catastrophe and welcome the birth of a new world.”
“You jest, Speaker, sir.
Chen Lun wiped a cold sweat secretly and spoke softly.
Azjiluo gave him a meaningful glance before saying,
“If you wish to transcribe knowledge from other paths to spread, you’ll need to learn some special techniques… However, they are not recorded inside the Generous Council, firstly because they are indeed very valuable, and secondly because we don’t need them. If you wish to learn, then I suggest you go to the Royal City after this and start within the Imperial Judgement Group, on the condition that you have accumulated enough merits.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Lun nodded thoughtfully.
Previously, Kingsberg and others had advised him to seek subsequent Mythological Knowledge and rituals in the official Shelter; now the Speaker also recommended him to the Imperial Judgement Group to acquire the skills for transcribing Mid-Sequence knowledge…
It seems the Empire’s official ranks really are the largest and most comprehensive, offering what one needs.
“Very well, Speaker, I greatly appreciate your answers… and for sharing so much hidden knowledge.”
Chen Lun bowed respectfully to Azjiluo.
The Speaker nonchalantly waved his hand.

[Main quest completed: Scarlet Ceremony!]
[Based on the efforts made in the second phase for suppressing the Red Calamity, the calculation of the Contribution Degree will commence…]
[All cities from Gem State’s Snow Crystal City, Rock State’s Scale Wall City, Pine Sand City, and Melting Mountain City have been cleared… totaling 157 cities.]
[18645 low-ranking clergy members have been killed…]
[954 Mid Sequence priests and bishops have been killed…]
[Incarnations of Blood Abbey’s Ten Cores Archbishop Jemaine, Lafa’s incarnation, and Lafa himself have been killed…]
[65 Abomination Fortresses have been destroyed…]
At this moment, Chen Lun was sitting on the living room sofa of the main vineyard villa.
The Circus executives were also present.
A series of panel alerts popped up, prompting Chen Lun to be secretly amazed and inwardly marveled at having completed so many tasks… Although a large part of them were the efforts of the Golden Cup members and the Circus, even the players recruited to push back the Red Calamity Area, half of the credits counted towards him.
That’s what led to this exaggerated clearing process now.
‘How much will my contribution degree be?’
Chen Lun was somewhat expectant.
‘In my previous life, it was only 0.00013%…’
After about half a minute of calculations, the panel finally popped up—
[Final Contribution Degree Calculation: 12.85564%]
[Main Quest Reward: 400M Experience Points, 8000 Gold Pounds, 30 Attribute Points, 10 Special Attribute Points, 20 Regional Singing Degrees, and 2 Blessing Points!]
[Your personal contribution degree has exceeded 99.99999% of players, earning additional rewards!]
[Extra Rewards (choose one): 1. Significant increase in mystical resistance (increase of 30% on the existing basis). 2. Significant increase in mystical weight (increase of 30% on the existing basis). 3. Small increase in mystical accumulation speed (each experience gain increased by 10%).]
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows, and immediately a look of joy appeared.
‘Such generous rewards… not only Special Attribute Points and Blessing Points but also additional rewards!’
He looked at the options, hesitating.
Mystical resistance could exempt him from more Supernatural Powers and even high-level corruption, allowing him to face some bizarre abilities more calmly… Whereas, mystical weight could increase the priority during judgments as well as involve in invisible confrontations during Divination exercises.
‘Both are quite good…’
Chen Lun fell into a deep thought.
‘However, as I rise through the sequences in the future, mystical resistance and mystical weight will both improve accordingly. It is the last option, the speed of mystical accumulation… it’s essentially a permanent experience booster card. Missing out now, who knows when it might come again.’
He secretly operated on the panel that others couldn’t see, and chose the last option “small increase in mystical accumulation speed”.
‘That’s it!’
[You have selected the small increase in mystical accumulation speed (each experience gain increased by 10%)!]
Chen Lun noticed that in the experience section of his panel, corresponding parentheses and entry appeared—
[Experience: 400M/30M (small increase in mystical accumulation speed)]
He couldn’t help but smile.
Subsequently, Chen Lun spent all the generous rewards.
The 400M experience points allowed him to level up 10 times, improving various aspects and acquiring 10 Skill Points and Attribute Points.
Then, he used up all 40 Attribute Points, 10 Special Attribute Points, and 2 Blessing Points.
Base Attributes became: Strength 177, Agility 178, Endurance 177, Intelligence 178, Faith 10.
Special Attributes were: Charm 50, Willpower 82, Insight 71, Luck 10.
Regional Singing Degree 132, Epic Singing Degree 4.
‘[Juggler LV35]… not far from the max level of 50, but the required experience is also higher now, and to level up once now needs 400M experience.’
Chen Lun couldn’t help but shake his head.
‘With no large quests coming up, gathering experience points is going to be a challenge… Once players go offline, I won’t have more Sanity Points to farm in the Immortal Realm, quite a tough situation.’
Turning off the panel.
He took out the Blood Diamond, and then cheerfully called out to the outside of the house:
“Antonio.”
Shortly after, the door of the villa opened, and a cow’s head popped out, with a big white cat sitting on its head, mouth holding a little hedgehog.
“Mr. Jack, did you call me?”
Chen Lun grinned, nodding and waving.
“Come over, I’ve found a way to help you completely subdue the bad guy inside you.”
“Hmm?”
Antonio paused momentarily, then happily shook his head.
“Woo hoo! Bad guy, your end has come! Antonio is finally going to be free!”
The big white cat, Biebu, clung tightly to its scalp, swinging like a white hat.
This caused a burst of laughter among the executives in the living room.
