Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 706: Chapter 515: Ignite_2

"Indeed, the attitude with which those old creatures handle matters is worth learning from. As a Longevity True Monarch who requires humanity, I truly should not engage too much with these divine beings, otherwise I’ll sooner or later exhaust what little humanity I have left..."

With this thought, Chen Zhixing grew increasingly troubled.

He was still too young.

Prior to this, Bai Yu had warned him several times not to interact too much with Sos.

He didn’t listen.

And when this incident first occurred, Bai Yu had invited him to seek out his senior sister... Now that Chen Zhixing thinks about it, that must have been a ruse, the true intent being to draw Chen Zhixing away from the vortex that is Sos, away from the only calm Inner Ring Forest Sea in the entire Cosmic Realm! Away from Divine Wood Spring City closest to Sos.

"But even if I had known, what would it change? Even if offered another chance now, my choice wouldn’t be any different!"

After ruffling his own hair, Chen Zhixing felt he must appear insane at the moment.

Yet what vexed him was not the deceased creatures of the Cosmic Realm, but the foolish things Sos, his friend, is currently undertaking!

"Yes, he’s inducing Karmic Fire, aiming to ignite the entire Cosmic Inner Ring. It’s true, he long realized the plan of linking the sky’s Divine Kingdom with trees wasn’t feasible. His true goal is to burn the remaining parts of the World Tree with Karmic Fire, allowing this world to be reborn in flames?"

Thinking of ’rebirth in flames’ reminded Chen Zhixing of the three Phoenixes currently contained in a small green bottle, creatures Sos refers to as Undying Phoenix.

Earlier on, Chen Zhixing discovered the Undying Phoenix was merely in its infancy stage, just a newly born phase after being reborn in flames; therefore, he never delved deeply into this matter!

But linking to the current situation.

These three Undying Phoenixes likely did not happen to fly into the Cosmic World by themselves, but were exchanged or even forcibly brought in by Sos from the outside!

"Nine-Ring World, water, sand, and wood, cycling three times, forming the world as a whole... Never paid much attention before, yet now it seems, is this not the fundamental basis for the biological constitution, using Karmic Fire to ignite the entire world, creating conflict with water, substituting black soil with sand, using wood to form the Spiritual Qi of life, blending under powerful forces replacing the death fate of the world, ultimately allowing a world tree called Cosmic World to reborn in Nirvana like a Phoenix post-death, it’s entirely possible!"

In other words, facing the aggressive plunder of Yimiao and Li Er, why doesn’t Sos resist?

Inability to win is one aspect, but the deepest reason is that the damn Sos plans for the Cosmic Realm to restart!

Blank slate makes it easy to paint a picture.

Does a blank slate describe the current Cosmic Realm?

Of course not!

Although the Cosmic Realm is dilapidated, it still possesses its operational rules, and with Sos and His Watchers, it doesn’t count as a divine blank slate!

But if the Cosmic Realm is truly burnt down, wouldn’t a new world birthed above it become the best slate for painting?

"Then the most crucial point now is, even if Sos is willing to induce Karmic Fire to ignite the entire Cosmic Realm... where does the initial fire source come from?"

Pardon Chen Zhixing, for he has spent a considerable amount of time within the Cosmic Realm, but he has truly never found anything that could act as an igniting material for Karmic Fire!

Without an igniting material, how is the world to be set ablaze?

Chen Zhixing wants to know!

...

Fire source?

What is a fire source?

A fire source is the initial flame left behind to ensure the material can be ignited.

A weak flame cannot ignite damp wood.

Anyone knowledgeable knows, to light a solid piece of wood, the best way is to use a flame to ignite an igniting material, thereby expanding the fire.

So here’s the problem, if one wishes to burn the world with Karmic Fire, yet must ensure the world retains life after being burnt, what makes the best igniting material?

Sos himself can act as the fire source.

Then, what about the igniting material?

To preserve life within the Karmic Fire, the igniting material itself requires copious amounts of life!

If not cushioned by this life, the only outcome post-Karmic Fire is to be obliterated into ashes.

Does the Cosmic Realm have life?

Desolate beyond belief.

Does the Cosmic Realm possess an igniting material capable of setting the world ablaze?

Undoubtedly, the World Tree itself is the best igniting material!

It’s unreliable that Sos’ goal of preserving the World Tree’s life would have him light the World Tree itself, so Sos needs a new igniting material.

Searching throughout the Cosmic Realm, excluding the World Tree, is there another igniting material?

There is!

It’s one Sos had perfected through discussion over ten thousand years ago, ultimately preserved perfectly with internal life akin to the concentration from two thousand years ago when none of the gods had felled the World Tree!

Cyan Wood Longevity Realm!

It’s something Sos began preserving over ten thousand years ago, investing much over the years to maintain its plentiful inner life, with the sole intention of it becoming an igniting material in ten thousand years, hence used to ignite the entire Cosmic Realm!

Exactly, the person who originally discussed ’Phoenix Nirvana Theory’ with Sos, had the surname Shi.

That person was one of Shi Hao’s blood ancestors!

A true blood relative and a genuine Stone Race strong one and sage.

At least Chen Zhixing can’t fathom the world burning by Karmic Fire, then reborn through the Phoenix Technique!

This is simply too insane, too incredible.

Normal people wouldn’t even conceive such a thing!

Yet that ancestor from the Shi Family not only conceived it but actively propelled Sos, the Terminal Death God, to actually carry out their plan!

This is what it means to be extraordinary.

Though dying prematurely seems somewhat regrettable, the situation left by them for Sos aligns entirely with their plan.

Using Sos as the spark, lighting the easily combustible Cyan Wood Longevity Realm as the igniting material, then continuing to light the entire Cosmic Realm.

Following their plan, the entire Cosmic Realm would be burned by Karmic Fire, whereby then, only the edge of the Cosmic Realm outside the Outer Ring Endless Sea might escape this world-ending flame!

As for those remaining at present.

No.

It should be said that in this Cosmic great escape, those who survive, are those on Sos’ board, preparing them for when the Karmic Fire arrives, sending them into the Starry Sky, representing Cosmic Realm’s remaining fire source.

If during this world’s Nirvana rebirth, Sos manages to endure, then post-rebirth of the Cosmic Realm, not only can external primitive Cosmic Realm entities aid the new Cosmic Realm, but if this tribulation cannot be survived by the Cosmic Realm, then those ’strong ones’ stranded outside become the Cosmic Realm’s sole fruits.

This plan has originally been swirling in Sos’ mind, supplemented by Chen Zhixing, it’s now executable.

The only current puzzle for Sos is waiting for some new divine beings to be born.

Compared with the many demigods in the Cosmic Realm, Sos still believes genuine divine beings heading into the Starry Sky would have far better self-preservation.

Yes.

Regardless of strength, or rather, even strong ones need to be sifted, strong ones sent to the Starry Sky, weaker ones left as raw materials for igniting the Karmic Fire!

As for how the Karmic Fire is produced.

That Stone Race person said, provided that enough massive misdeeds are committed frequently, it will inevitably draw Karmic Fire upon oneself!

Then, how to commit misdeeds?

By having Sos, the God of the Human World, incite an enormous slaughter across the Cosmic Realm?

As long as enough are killed, Karmic Fire will naturally be drawn!

On the day Sos is enveloped by Karmic Fire, choosing to plunge his true form into the Cyan Wood Longevity Realm, then bring the entire Cyan Wood Longevity Realm crashing into the Inner Ring Forest Sea, thereby igniting the core of the World Tree and using the force of a realm to drive the world tree known as Cosmic World to undergo rebirth!

It’s a magnificent plan, though creating it and carrying it out makes one scorned as inhumane!

Equally, it’s a vastly flawed plan.

The most crucial two points being, both Sos as the source of fire, and the Cyan Wood Longevity Realm as the igniting material, must encounter no issues to succeed!
