“Impermanence Great Dao?!”
Fang Yuan contemplated the words and suddenly felt enlightened. “Everything within a world has laws governing its existence. Everything will change with time. Everything is impermanent…”
“Hmm?” Representative Heinze was slightly surprised. “Your understanding of the power of Great Dao has reached such a deep level? I’ve been to the Brahman World, and the Great Brahmā has spoken about impermanence. I quote, ‘Everything that exists is temporary. Nothing is eternal.’”
“Brahman World?”
Fang Yuan was very surprised, and he was reminded of past life. It looks like advanced worlds are able to radiate their civilizations… like that world with the Chinese civilization. It was able to radiate to the lower realms and give birth to similar worlds… If there really is a Great Brahmā, then his influence could very well affect other worlds!
Could that be the realm above Demon God?
Netherheaven Demon Gods could maintain themselves under the Heavenly Dao, allowing them to travel to many other advanced worlds while retaining most of their power.
For the realm above Demon God, they replaced the Heavenly Dao with their own Daos, controlling entire worlds on a whim. They were on a totally different level.
With the help of the stats window, Fang Yuan managed to control a part of the power of Netherheaven Demon Gods in advance.
Therefore, it was certainly possible to replace the Heavenly Dao with one’s Dao and radiate one’s thoughts to countless small worlds.
“Ah, yes… Brahman World!”
Heinze was naturally unaware of Fang Yuan’s thoughts. Instead, he said contemplatively, “The leader of that world is named Great Brahmā and controls the Great Dao of Brahman. He is amazing at guiding people and has done profound research regarding the power of faith… I debated with him for a thousand years before leaving after suffering defeat. However, I was given the title of Mental Demon Amoghasiddhi… It seems that anyone who can fight with the Great Brahmā is conferred the title of a god of Brahman, regardless of whether they’re willing or not.”
Ah, this is very similar to my past life!
Fang Yuan felt awkward and wisely changed the subject. “Oh yeah, why have you come here?”
“Of course, it’s for a Derivative!” Heinze said matter-of-factly. “It might be a first-class Derivative, which is why the congress has sent me after it!”
“Speaking of which, as a member of the congress and staying undercover for twenty years, have you gotten your hands on that notebook?”
“Nope…”
Fang Yuan was mildly shocked.
Heinze smiled wryly. “That Philosopher’s Book’s security level is very high, and over seven representatives are guarding it. Furthermore, they only use it when the majority agrees to do so. I don’t have the confidence to make a move while they’re watching… Besides, they’ve already started to doubt me since I’ve been asking around for news about other Derivatives!
“Hmm?” Fang Yuan’s eyes flashed. “Other Derivatives! Yes, the founding of the Sorcerer Congress is to maintain world peace. They must have a lot of treasures after so many battles!”
“They’ve securely hidden these Derivatives at a certain place known only by the president and vice presidents…” Heinze said resignedly. “Otherwise, I would have made my move long ago!”
“How about bringing me along this time?” Fang Yuan asked eagerly.
He had come to this world to increase his strength in the shortest time possible.
So there was no reason for him to give up such a good opportunity.
“I can. My target is the Philosopher’s Book. I’m sure that the rules in it are very compatible with my Dao. As for the other Derivatives, I can give some of them to you if you help me!” Heinze nodded.
“What excuse should we give when we leave?” Fang Yuan took more things into consideration.
Snow, who he had possessed, had no connection to Heinze. To promote him so suddenly and to attend such an important event would surely arouse suspicion.
“No problem, no problem!” A strange smile appeared on Heinze’s face. “I have a strange hobby… It’s a bit strange, but everyone knows about it. As long as you declare that you are now my ‘close friend’ after you leave, there will be no problem!”
“Strange hobby?”
Fang Yuan looked at Heinze. He had not realized it before, but now he sensed an eerie feminine aura all over Heinze. He immediately felt goosebumps, shivering at the realization.
Now that he thought about it, the others had given him a knowing smile when he was summoned alone. He understood everything at once.
“F*CK!!!!”
…
However, compared to his reputation, what he stood to gain was more important.
As a result, after feeling gloomy for a while, he decided to bite the bullet and follow Heinze, ready for the mission.
He was welcomed with looks of envy, jealousy, and despise. However, no one dared to voice their dissatisfaction.
After all, it was entirely up to Heinze to promote his ‘new boyfriend’, and outsiders had no say over the matter.
Fang Yuan felt somewhat helpless looking at this scene. He knew that the reputation of this Snow identity was now in the dumps.
Luckily, it’s not my true body, so what do I have to be afraid of?
He decided he had nothing to lose. After collecting his equipment, he followed behind Heinze.
“Our target for this mission is a thief. His name is Baggins. He’s been to prison many times for theft, and he recently sold a large batch of stolen goods on the black market.”
Heinze’s face was slightly serious. “Among the stolen goods was the renowned painting ‘Lady Manlisa’! I’m sure you’ve seen the surveillance footage? A painting just vanished into thin air… As such, we suspect that someone has their hands on a certain Derivative and is using it to procure illegal profits!”
“The ability to make objects vanish?” Fang Yuan was somewhat astonished. “What exactly would that be?”
“I don’t know. Derivatives have all kinds of peculiarities. Without conducting experiments, it’s very hard to figure them out… so large amounts of experimenters are required!”
Heinze looked at the many Purple Robe sorcerers and Red Shirt deacons and smiled coldly. “However, these guys are lucky this time. Its destructive force isn’t too great. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent just a single representative over to settle it!”
In fact, Fang Yuan knew that the matter would be nowhere near as simple as Heinze was making it out to be.
After all, Derivatives had all kinds of peculiarities. They could even have the tables turned on them if they were not careful.
“The ability to make objects vanish… Under extreme circumstances, perhaps it can directly steal your heart, lungs, or even your brain!
“However, dangers of this level are still mild to Heinze… The humans of this world are truly pitiful… Who knows how many times they’ve rubbed shoulders with total world annihilation…”
Fang Yuan shrugged.
The team donned in eccentric clothing entered the streets.
He immediately felt the convenience of spells.
Heinze had only casually recited an incantation before the surrounding civilians turned a blind eye to them.
“8 Cape Street—this is Baggins’s place! Peep!”
Heinze approached an old building and snapped his fingers.
Splash!
The walls and doors of the house immediately turned transparent. Newspapers, delivery boxes, spare change, and other sundries could be seen scattered across the floor.
In the middle of the bedroom, a disheveled, middle-aged man was snoring away.
“Target located. We’ll take turns watching!”
Heinze nodded and pointed toward the neighboring building.
Crash!
The place connecting the 8th and 9th buildings immediately split apart and revealed an enormous space. A beautiful, two-story house appeared into view.
“This is my villa. Nice, isn’t it?” Heinze smiled. “Everybody, move in. We won’t be discovered by people from outside and can better keep watch!”
“Is this really… magic?” Fang Yuan was slightly shocked. “This is the power of rules!”
“Yes, rules! Just a single first-class Derivative can distort reality to this extent. You can see how terrifying and grandiose the Impermanence Great Dao is from this!” Heinze said with a voice that was only audible to the two of them.
Even if it was a Great Dao native to this world and was not suppressed, power of this extent was horrifying enough.
“Oh right, are there any other Demon Gods in this world?” Fang Yuan suddenly thought of a problem.
The coordinates of this world had been given to him by the Lord of the Void. That meant that he had also once descended upon this world, and he could confirm this from the things that Heinze had spoken of earlier.
“There are. At the very least, there is the Lord of the Void. I don’t know about the others, but the Lord of the Void still lusts after the Impermanence Great Dao. He must have left some demonic thoughts!” Heinze shrugged. “Although I feel… the chances of that happening are very small!”
“Speaking of which, I’m very curious. Why did the Impermanence Great Dao show itself…”
Even in the Divine Armament World, the Omnidirectional Divine Demonic Armament Dao was divided and contained in many different Divine Armaments. Fang Yuan had to collect them one by one before finally forging the Omnidirectional Divine Demonic Armament Dao.
“I don’t know. Perhaps this world is special in its own way!”
It was apparent that Heinze did not want to think too much about it. After all, this was something beyond his control.
Fang Yuan, on the other hand, had the assistance of the stats window and possessed some Netherheaven abilities. He would also be able to use almost the entirety of his power in this world, so he had the confidence to uncover the reason behind it.
…
It was not long before night arrived.
The sorcerers were facing the transparent walls and monitoring Baggins’ each and every move.
It seemed that he was someone used to moving at night, so he had slept until the sky was dark before getting out of bed.
“Everyone, pay attention!”
Heinze’s eyes flashed when he saw that Baggins had woken up.
Under the sorcerers’ watch, Baggins washed up, wore his clothes, and finally donned a black cloak.
Splash!
He suddenly turned transparent and vanished.
An apple on the desk suddenly flew into the air. With a crunch, part of the apple disappeared, and teeth imprints appeared.
“So that’s it… A cloak of invisibility?”
The sorcerers all immediately realized what was going on.
