Chapter 678: I Disagree! (Part 2)
"I also want to live well, do you keep wanting me to cry for you forever?" The little sister said angrily, "You just have to not die."
"Hahaha!" Xing laughed heartily, "Yes, live well, live peacefully, that's the most important!"
…
But when it comes to war, even if you don't pay attention to it, it will come to find you.
As days passed, the chaos on Pangu Continent gradually grew.
Once a blood sacrifice is initiated, you're either slaughtered or it snowballs, growing ever larger. Acquired myths are also myths; although their combat power can't compare to innate myths, as long as the quantity is enough, they can still offset the difference in quality.
Moreover, acquired myths have a natural advantage; the number of descendants significantly increases, and the bloodline is easier to inherit.
On the contrary, the bloodline of innate myths is not so easily inherited.
When the clouds of war hang over one's mind, there is always a genuine, suffocating feeling.
Weakness is the original sin.
The Changshan Clan faces tremendous pressure.
Clan members complain: "Some races have more than ten acquired myths, and the speed at which they slaughter small clans is increasingly rapid. Their greed is endless... One day, it will affect us."
"Big brother, although your combat power is strong, you can't fight four hands with two fists. If ethnic war breaks out... even if you survive, it's hard to protect us."
Xing remained silent, feeling downcast.
Reflecting on past decisions, he did not regret.
The most knowledgeable clan member said, "Big brother, I heard there's a way outside to significantly enhance combat power, without needing a blood sacrifice, and can be used directly."
"Whether innate myths or ordinary spirits can use it! It's called 'Infinite Qi'!"
…
"I will introduce someone to you."
A figure wearing a gray robe approached, bowing slightly: "My king, nice to meet you for the first time, this method is called 'Infinite Qi'."
"Why are you so generous? Offering this method for free?" Xing was full of caution.
The gray-robed being laughed: "My king, this method has long been spread. It's not invented solely by my race."
"As long as you provide me with a small amount of resources, I will teach you this method."
…
Infinite Qi requires actively using the mind to connect with a place called 'Dark Sea.'
The 'Dark Sea' is extremely far from Pangu Continent.
With just a thought, unlimited energy can be provided.
Indeed, it doesn't require blood sacrifices and has no side effects!
However, this power doesn't originate from Pangu Continent and therefore can't be used to create acquired myths through Infinite Qi.
But with the use of 'Infinite Qi,' the strength of some strong bloodlines is already comparable to acquired myths!
It provides astonishing vitality, allowing its owner to fight continuously on the battlefield for three years, killing countless enemies without needing any food or drink; it can also conquer numerous alien females in bed for three years without needing any rest!
The life force it provides is so vigorous that as long as the soul isn't damaged, the body can quickly recover! Even if the brain is smashed to pieces, it can regenerate.
This thing is incredibly effective, swiftly spreading far and wide!
So what is the cost?
Only a small number of wise individuals worry about it.
The 'Dark Sea' is being dragged over, slowly yet resolutely—the essence of Infinite Qi is actually the process of converting mental potential.
Like a small ball located high up, it naturally has gravitational potential energy, and the process of free falling converts gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy.
Infinite Qi is similar; it isn't truly 'infinite,' but rather a conversion of Ideal Energy in the celestial movements of the 'Dark Sea.'
But few know this truth, and geographically isolated Changshan Clan knows nothing at all.
…
There's no eternal in the world.
On a certain day, the 'Dark Sea' approached Pangu Continent for the first time, without any collision, but passed by each other!
But at that instant, all those possessing Infinite Qi suffered devastating attacks!
Xing suddenly lost control of his body!
His brain pounded with uncontrollable pain, as if his soul was about to be wrenched out, and every inch of muscle began to spasm!
He stumbled out of the cave, discovering all clan members who used 'Infinite Qi' were rolling on the ground in hysteria, bleeding from all seven orifices, the scene extremely horrifying.
The sky turned blood red, whirlwinds appearing one after another in the dome of the sky, with fierce winds blowing.
A stench descended amid the thunder.
"Big brother... what's going on?!" shouted the rain-soaked little sister as she ran over in tears.
She hadn't used Infinite Qi, her mental state was normal, yet she still felt the terror in the sky.
"I... don't know either." Xing looked at his most cherished sister; his head hurt intensely, but he still reached out to touch her head.
Suddenly, a strange desire emerged deep within him, as if by swallowing her whole, his pain could be alleviated.
He was shocked by this terrifying thought.
Yet this thought grew stronger, increasingly hard to suppress.
Then, a terrifying pulling force attacked from the depths of his soul, causing his eyes to turn crimson, nearly driving him insane.
He heard the frantic screams outside. As an innate myth, his will was strong, but how could others endure?
He forced out one last line through clenched teeth: "Run! You must run!"
Everything went black before him.
He no longer has any memory of what followed.
