Chapter 410: The Descent, Birth of the Undying Realm
"Is it... gone?" Gu Shanhai was quite puzzled.
He saw the Eye of Peaceful Death enter and then the sharp-beaked eyeball blinked.
Then there was nothing.
It had left this world entirely.
Gu Shanhai keenly sensed the clues.
"Death, has it vanished?" Being the embryo of the world, Gu Shanhai naturally sensed the changes occurring.
Just in that blink of an eye, the concept of death had been devoured.
"It really just slurped once and then fled, good man, oh no, I mean, good eyeball," remarked Gu Shanhai with a strange expression.
He hadn't expected this; Gu Shanhai thought it would at least devour a chunk of the world to cushion its departure, but it turned out to be so picky.
However, this was good news for him.
"With the disappearance of death, all life in this world must have already mutated into various forms of madness."
Gu Shanhai could see that the Eye of Peaceful Death had not only swallowed death but also dispersed the bloodlines on Xiao Yongsheng.
Yes, the Eternal Sleep Bloodline and the Chang'an Bloodline.
A group of immortals attracting and slaughtering each other was unquestionably a disaster.
In contrast, the concept of life in this world began an irrational expansion, which made Gu Shanhai feel at ease.
It was as if he was buried in soil and then photosynthesizing through the leaves he grew.
"I think I've found the raw material for the Vermilion Bird in the Four Sacred Beasts System," Gu Shanhai said, relaxed to the point of spreading a mass of spirit plant roots.
Beidou governs death, Southern Dipper governs life.
Southern Dipper's Vermilion Bird, using the life in this world opposite to death as raw material, would be splendid.
Switching to another world would never yield such excellent material; in 99% of the worlds, life is always balanced with death.
Even the so-called Netherworld, Underworld, and such, the spirits and ghosts themselves represent another form of life.
Without death, life became conspicuously apparent.
"I need to extract the concept of life."
"Not only to manufacture the companion spirit Vermilion Bird but also to use it as material for my breakthrough into the Magic Awakening Stage, killing many birds with one stone."
The amount of the concept of life needed to create the companion spirit Vermilion Bird wasn't much, just a trace would be sufficient. Essentially, it still erodes and then dominates over the notion of life.
As for what happens to this world with the concepts of death and life missing, that no longer concerns Gu Shanhai.
"This style of mine doesn't seem quite right."
Gu Shanhai's spiritual sense swept through, and most people at this moment either had mutated flesh, altered bones, or deformed hair. None were like Gu Shanhai, who grew plants.
"Hahaha, I am immortal!!!" Xiao Yongsheng's insane laughter rang out.
The sound wasn't solitary but a duet, one was his voice, and the other was like a barbell-like female voice.
Clearly, it was another body transformed from his skeletal structure.
Xiao Yongsheng was actually undergoing a secondary mutation, his body and exoskeleton covered in various peculiar eyes, big and small, every form imaginable, including some non-human eyes like various animal eyes and even mutated eyes, also present on that skeletal body.
"His brain is washed away, beyond saving."
Gu Shanhai checked and saw that not only had the eyes in the soul not decreased, but they had become even more numerous and terrifying. Plus, with the mutation without death, he could absolutely become the new king of this world, truly deserving that stance.
This power allowed him to soar to heavenly heights, reaching near a 1000 level.
As for others, they are relatively lower at the moment, only 50 levels.
Xiao Yongsheng becoming so strong was normal, as he was a meritorious figure, naturally, he wouldn't be mistreated.
"I guess the limit would be about 4000 levels, but growing up to that depends on whether I agree."
Gu Shanhai quickly gauged the extent of Xiao Yongsheng's power change. As for others, the upper limit wouldn't be too high, at most around 1000 levels, barely reaching the starting point of Xiao Yongsheng.
Of course, some individuals are geniuses, freaks of nature; they certainly aren't included in this upper limit.
Only a few individuals could possibly catch up to Xiao Yongsheng, at most not exceeding the number of fingers on one hand.
"Hello, nice to meet you for the first time, I have a gift to give you," Gu Shanhai instantly moved to the crazed Xiao Yongsheng.
The other's mad laughter abruptly stopped, his eyes on his body staring fixedly at Gu Shanhai, his expression containing confusion, puzzlement, and other emotions.
Having many eyes is useful, able to very effectively convey various emotions.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yongsheng still had some rationality, knowing that unprovoked kindness either signifies malice or thievery, so he wasn't planning to accept the so-called gift from Gu Shanhai.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is this gift, you have to take it whether you like it or not!"
Gu Shanhai immediately produced a ball of putty with eyes, indeed, this thing was the product of the merger of the Eye of Peaceful Death's vision and "Tai Shang's Eight Diagrams Scripture," seemingly on the brink of death, urgently in need of a kind-hearted savior.
Now, that kind-hearted savior had appeared. As for this action resulting in some uncontrollable factors, it didn't matter anymore, the world was already in such a bad state, a bit worse wouldn't make much difference.
Before Xiao Yongsheng could react, Gu Shanhai pressed him to the ground and stuffed the eyeballed putty into his body.
