Little Bowl's "End of the Divine Era" plan had a brief explanation before awakening Zhu Jiu, so Zhu Shi roughly understands what we need to do now.
"I've heard about Xu Gou..." Zhu Shi said. "If we change the existing world order with the divine seal, then what about the female researcher Ai Ye, who was possessed by Little Bowl's spirit summoning on Xu Gou? Or does the concept of a post-mortem world and souls in the previous world mean Ai Ye wouldn't disappear? But the previous world should be one where souls don't easily manifest, right? Could there be some negative impact?"
The figure of Little Bowl materialized beside us, and she explained: "Ai Ye's consciousness was previously operating on Mr. Xugou's soul and won't dissipate due to such problems. Moreover, we have already revived her, so there won't be any issue now."
"Revived? But wasn't Ai Ye a living sacrifice for reviving Impermanence, and therefore unable to be revived anymore?" Zhu Shi asked doubtfully.
"Xu Gou is no longer Impermanence," I replied.
Speaking of Xu Gou, we must touch upon the issue of the Divine Seal Fragments. Xu Gou relied on the Divine Seal Fragments to become a Great Impermanence Level combat power, a super-modified human. Therefore, once the divine seal completely restored, the seal fragments within him disappeared.
Without the Divine Seal Fragments, Xu Gou would've died due to various defects from the modification surgery. However, the actions taken by the female researcher Ai Ye made him a modified human without fatal flaws. Even if the Divine Seal Fragments vanished from the heart area, he could use super regeneration ability to repair the heart.
With the main power source gone, Xu Gou naturally cannot continue to exist as Great Impermanence Level combat power. But relying on Ying Lingyun's super modification surgery and his past experience as Great Impermanence Level combat power, he can still retain the strength at Great Success Rank after regression. Inside his body also remains part of the Power of Divine Seal Fragments, though it's exhausted with each use, he can still exert a certain degree of Power of Great Impermanence in a short period.
Xu Gou probably won't be upset about his regression. Precisely because he is no longer Impermanence, the living sacrifice Ai Ye, who serves as his foundation, has the opportunity to be revived. Though achieving it remains considerably difficult, it has been reduced to the point where it's possible with merely the power of my Third Door.
As for whether the divine seal power can achieve Great Impermanence level resurrection, I haven't tried it yet. Honestly, even if it can, it wouldn't be surprising.
Mazao added, "Furthermore, Zhu Shi, you have been with your mother all night, so you didn't hear... The 'End of the Divine Era' plan has an additional component."
"Even though adding that part makes 'End of the Divine Era' less fitting," Little Bowl said.
The evening before the decisive battle with Shan Liangyi had mentions of supplementing Little Bowl's plan based on personal intentions. We discussed this content yesterday with Little Bowl and Mazao, and they agreed. Now Little Bowl is sharing this part with Zhu Shi.
After Little Bowl's explanation, I took out the divine seal.
The circular disk, like Tai Chi, began to rotate, seemingly producing and releasing an infinite amount of True Spirit Power. Although there had been experimental operations before, this was the first time I pushed it with a mindset of "what to truly do." The divine seal is a divine artifact capable of reading the user's true desires, whether prepared with such thoughts will lead to a stark difference in the nature of power. It seems to have sensed such resolve, and a "certain will" buried deep within our world also responded.
That was the will left by Liu Shuying when he made a wish, which might serve as a factor for his resurrection.
For characters with advanced undying body ability, as long as there's a remaining part of self, there's a possibility of resurrection. At the levels above Great Impermanence, especially those who have unlocked their Third Door, even if they haven't awakened the special abilities related to immortality, they can simulate resurrection by distorting all principles with their own power. Liu Shuying's will, left in this world, is sufficient to serve as the "remaining element" for his resurrection.
If we aim to eliminate the source of Doomsday, it will inevitably erase Liu Shuying's will completely, and it appears my actions have stimulated this power.
A phantom figure appeared before me; it was Liu Shuying.
His demeanor was lifelike as he stared intently at me, then said: "Zhuang Cheng...what do you intend to do? Turn this world back to its original state? Let everything revert to a boring form, is this what you want to do after defeating me?"
"Liu Shuying..." I looked at him.
He didn't revive; what's present wasn't even a soul. Although it seems to possess the same personality as when alive, it's merely akin to an echo, mysteriously recreating Liu Shuying's last moments in life.
Because I killed him using the True Spirit Power of the Doomsday Divine Seal, it's impossible for Liu Shuying to resurrect by simply relying on this echo. But since the opponent was once the Master of Divine Seal, we must destroy this entirely.
"What if I answer 'yes'?" I said.
"No...you couldn't possibly do that." Liu Shuying said, "Even if you become slightly different from me, you still pursue adventure. And even using a gradual approach, if the world a millennium later is roughly the same as the future of the original world, you wouldn't do that..."
