Chapter 2004: Chapter 2001: Breakthrough

It’s probably the only case of someone at the Pseudo-King stage like Han Dong passing through the “Door of Truth” once again.

The reason for his return,

is because Han Dong’s fundamental ‘personal truth’ is undergoing a transformation,

This change is not superficial; it directly influences the roots… Being at the bottom of the Source Pool, merging with ‘Absolute Error’ under the whirlpool’s effect is the main cause of the “root transformation”.

Thrown directly by a mysterious little person to the other side of the Door of Truth, Han Dong needs to start from scratch during his descent to read, comprehend, and engrave the truth.

The final result will be directly reflected in the essence of Han Dong,

In the worst-case scenario, Han Dong’s nature could completely change, transforming into a grotesque, unclassifiable unknown being that can’t maintain an overall shape, even erasing the foundations previously laid.

However,

During the fall,

Han Dong wore only a mad laugh, with not a bit of confusion or disturbance in his heart.

This was considered his third time crossing the “Door of Truth,” the whole process already feels incredibly familiar.

His goal is also very clear:

“To rectify the fundamental truth, modify the fixed pictorial on the stone tablet’s surface, and perfectly integrate the attributes of [Origin Vortex] into it, as the axis of the Trinity.”

If we compar this process to painting,

Han Dong’s previous Black Whirlpool cultivation,

was like adding a central motif to an already completed drawing, which is not only troublesome but may even destroy the original perfect artwork.

Now,

Han Dong found a completely new piece of draft paper, using the original as a draft, he reconstructed and redrew.

Drawing the new [Origin Vortex] at the center, then perfectly replicating the draft’s pictorial patterns, and even being able to correct some details.

“Truth Fall”

Upon completing the fall, Han Dong landed directly at the bottom of his own World Tree, which is the core area where the Throne Stele is located.

The vortex of origin that spread across the stone tablet has been collected,

The entire structure below has not changed, which indicates that all the foundations that Han Dong has laid in the past are unaffected.

The Throne Embryo still stands at the center as usual,

However, the current state of radiant light bursts out from the back of the Throne Stele… A brand new Mythology Map has just formed,

The puzzle pieces that once represented [Mad Laugh], [Faceless One], and [Dark Magic] have not changed at all, only feeling more finely engraved and crisper.

The only change is at the center of the pictorial,

A grey-white lotus flower serves as the pivot of the drawing, rotating slowly like an animation.

Under the action of the lotus, the triple system perfectly integrates and complements each other.

In an instant, a torrent of mad laughter poured out from the bottom of the World Tree, echoing throughout the entire world.

After over ten minutes, Han Dong managed to suppress his emotions but continued to giggle behind his hands.

“Hahaha! I really bet correctly… This belongs to the new system [Origin Vortex] acquired by the assimilation of source liquid with the Black Whirlpool!

Only those who truly accept disorder and naturally carry the attribute of the Black Vortex can possibly master this trait~ My essence has fundamentally changed.

This is the true meaning of the “Trinity”!

Now, I’ve taken a big step forward on the ‘unbreakable’ path of the Pseudo-King… I should be able to approach the Middle Rank, and if I encounter a ‘bank clerk’ I should be able to face them head-on.”

Stopping the insane laughter, Han Dong immediately flew out from the root of the World Tree to the front of the Prison World to assess the impact of errors on the world’s foundation.

During the flight, Han Dong clearly noticed his uniqueness.

His usual speed was more than twice what it had been, accompanied by the sensation of a white lotus rotating inside his body, so much so that the flight didn’t consume any energy.

Upon reaching the world’s front,

everything was functioning normally under the surveillance of the prison inhabitants,

not to mention the presence of Miss Lilia, a Middle-Rank ruler, holding the fort.

Thousands of disordered ones had been sent to the underground laboratory as experimental materials for the Swollen Doctor… Some individuals exhibiting ‘high-quality’ mutations were selected for research on the topic of “Directed Degeneration”.

Moreover,

The “sewage pool” originally constructed at the prison area corner has completely changed.

The complete explosion of the sewage pool has surprisingly transformed into a pond 23.6 times the original area, with a stone bridge even constructed in the center, all independently formed without any interference from prison creatures.

Grey-white lotuses of various sizes bloom within the pond,

It even has “internal weather,” with the pond area in a perpetual state of rain and fog,

resembling a ‘fairyland,’

Any creature stepping into it will be eroded by the source liquid, unknowingly and completely degenerating into a monster.

When Han Dong saw this naturally formed beautiful scenery, his interest piqued, erecting a large stone tablet at the edge of the pond, personally naming it – [Pond of Metamorphosis].

“Since there’s nothing here, I’d better hurry back… I don’t know how much time remaking truth has consumed.”

…

[Impure Planet – Origin Pool]

The egg structure at the bottom of the pool completed its incubation at this moment, blooming in the shape of a lotus.

Maintaining the “true appearance” Han Dong, was sitting hugging his knees inside.

In terms of external structure there was little difference from before, only the skin seemed much more tender,

However,

With consciousness returning and eyes opening, and the Real Demon Eye at the center of the brow opening, [Change] became apparent.

Even when situated at the turbid, disordered bottom of the Source Pool,

Han Dong’s eyes still remained clear as day, even feeling like transparent spring water was flowing between his eyes, able to see through all world’s filth and also to accept and adapt to such filth.

As for the Real Demon Eye, its pupils had transformed into a lotus shape, spinning rhythmically.

Vision ability was further enhanced, now able to see clearly through the entire Source Pool and discern all external situations.

“Hmm!?”

Looking up, the scene reflected in Han Dong’s eyes sent a shock through his mind, thinking his consciousness wasn’t entirely clear and had misseen, he immediately floated up!

Grumble grumble~

Bubbles surfaced along with his head, yet he still couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

1. The so-called “Special Ultimate Master,” even disdained and avoided by the entire S-01, the progenitor of the fiends.

2. Rated by the Black Tower as “Demon King of Ten Thousand Aspects,” the First Chaos within S-01 and the only Messenger amid chaos, dominating the Grey Realm – Sharnoth’s Grey Ultimate Master.

3. Dominating the Realm of Spirits – Carxa, called “Yellow Robe King” by the world, unmatched in the art of souls as the Yellow Ultimate Master.

4. A member of the Black Tower’s Supreme Will, the founder of the Black Vortex, potential ranking in the top five in Black Tower’s development history, the youngest letter bearer in millennia.

The above four were seated by the shore, engaging in a human entertainment activity.

During this activity, all abilities and perceptions were forbidden, requiring them even to descend to “human range” for this top-level, thrilling battle of wits.

Everyone had serious expressions, some with sweat trickling down, some with twisted tentacles, or completely releasing gas.

Currently, it seemed to be the turn of the progenitor of fiends, with the seat beneath them overflowing with mucus, tentacles stiffened by tension… After hesitating, they handed over a “secret item” hidden in front of them.

“Four sticks!”

The traveler opposite showed a gratified smile, as if waiting for this moment, overturned the thirteen-secret-item array on hand meticulously arranged.

“I win! A pure set with big pairs… five sets ~ Sorry, Abu.”
