Chapter 1870 - 1441: The Truth of Heaven and Earth! Black Fruit!
He is unsure whether Ling Donglai became a Twisted after dying of old age, or whether something happened inside the Sky that led him to become a Twisted.
Right now, these situations are no longer important; what matters is that he can choose not to pursue inquiries and choose to maintain the other’s final dignity.
"I won’t ask who you are anymore."
Jiang Dali suddenly spoke.
The Twisted stiffened; the madness in his eyes gradually waned.
Jiang Dali solemnly gazed at the Twisted whose emotions were about to lose control, saying, "But there’s one last thing I need to do now, once it’s done I’ll leave here. I want to go in and have a look."
The Twisted let out a sorrowful laugh, "Look... what’s there to see? They’re just some dead people manipulated by heaven and earth. People’s fate is manipulated by heaven and earth from birth, and even after death they remain under heaven and earth’s control. Haha, so I don’t want to die, I still don’t want to die, at least while alive I have my own thoughts; after death, I won’t even have my own thoughts but still be manipulated by heaven and earth."
While he spoke, his body slowly shifted aside to allow a pathway.
Jiang Dali immediately stepped forward, moving closer.
As he approached, the space fluctuations became more intense.
When he was completely close to the spatial gate distorted outward by the Twisted, he chose to stop.
Because even standing at this close distance in front of the Twisted, the visible distance seemed only half a meter, but the spiritual sense sensitive to space fluctuations judged that the spatial distance between them was at least fifteen meters.
The chaotic space fluctuations encompassed the Twisted and countless unknown dead bodies in a dangerous space, like a cage or a barrier preventing anyone from entering. Those who dared to enter would eventually become one of the Twisted, which is the terrifying aspect of the Twisted Land and the strong ability that Twisted can utilize.
Jiang Dali stayed calm, observed under the Twisted’s eyes filled with expectation and complexity, maintained a Primordial State, and simultaneously reached out a strand of his Primordial Spirit.
The Power of Primordial Spirit passed through the distorted space gate, entered the space fluctuations, and immediately seemed to be stretched, proving the distance felt was indeed more than half a meter.
If he had recklessly entered earlier, his body would have been stretched immediately, along with shifts in thinking, awareness, and various sensory distortions.
Even now, with just the Power of Primordial Spirit stretched by space, this intense sense of spatial disarray caused extreme discomfort.
Once the space fluctuations become more chaotic, with the distortion area large enough and too deep, over time the Primordial Spirit would get lost within, and people would descend into madness.
However, in the state of Primordial State, Jiang Dali’s emotions remained stable, and soon his Primordial Spirit encountered one of the bodies with flesh twisted outwards, dead for an unknown time.
In the distorted space which is apparently completely in a vacuum state, causing the dead Twisted’s body to remain uncorrupted for a long time.
And within the brain of this Twisted, a Black Fruit grew, emitting a faint fluctuation of Heavenly Will, even with a slight aura of resentment lingering.
As Jiang Dali’s Primordial Spirit approached, a slight ripple of emotion arose but was quickly suppressed by the Primordial State.
He understood clearly that even the Primordial State gave birth to spiritual ripples, proving he couldn’t sustain it for long. Immediately disregarding the presence of Heavenly Will, the Power of Primordial Spirit directly extended toward the Black Fruit.
The moment of contact, the Heavenly Will was triggered, and a massive pressure immediately impacted.
Boom!—
The extended Power of Primordial Spirit immediately collapsed.
Jiang Dali groaned, his eyes swiftly showing an incredible shock as he stared at the Twisted’s body separated by space fluctuations, heart pounding.
"Is he... Guo Jing!?"
He gasped sharply, his eyes radiating with brilliant energy as he scanned the densely packed bodies encompassed by distorted space fluctuations, astonished, disregarding the damage to the Primordial Spirit, immediately dividing another strand to probe.
As the Black Fruit on each deceased Twisted’s body was touched, one after another, the former identities and deeds of the Twisted were revealed...
Golden Wheel Dharma King!
Night Emperor!
Wu Wudi!
Bai Xiaosheng!
Jin Shiyi!
Meng Chixing!
Li Gong!
...
Jiang Dali’s heart surged with waves of astonishment, looking towards some bodies emanating faint Earth Intent fluctuations, yet lacking the Dark Fruit. The brain positions of these Twisted bodies contained cavities, implying the Dark Fruit had been dug out. His mind seemed struck by lightning.
He finally understood where the so-called excavated ancient texts originated from.
The family controlling the Earth Crystal Core and mastering Earth Intent, indeed leveraged Earth Intent, from this Twisted Land, utilizing the fruit borne from countless deceased Twisted bodies, to scavenge memories, ultimately accumulating the content and information of ancient texts.
Moreover, the family early on collected secret techniques like "Marriage Dress Divine Skill," "Dragon Subduing Divine Leg," likely gained by gathering the memories of deceased Twisted.
However, evidently, Twisted bodies covered by Heavenly Will still occupy most part, probably the portion unbroken by the family utilizing Earth Intent, which is why the family hasn’t grasped all ancient text information in the Mixed Martial Arts World, while also pushing Earth Intent to compete with Heavenly Will within the Twisted Land.
"Ahahaha... is it lamentable? You know all this early, but what of it?"
At this time, the Twisted laughed miserably again, in a mournful and enticing tone, "Fear! Despair! Human life, whether alive or dead, can’t escape fate manipulated by heaven and earth! What are you rebelling against? Struggling against? It’s better to stop here and become one of us. Witness the cosmic conspiracy here..."
"Nonsense! I don’t need you teaching me."
Jiang Dali’s eyes flashed coldly, restraining the shock within his heart, maintaining the Primordial State, glance over the Twisted, sighed and shook his head, "You think these mere truths would scare me into giving up? To descend into depravity? You underestimate me, Jiang Dali, and overestimate heaven and earth!"
He suddenly turned away, walking out of the Twisted Land.
"This heaven and earth, one day, won’t blind me or bury me! Let the Lost Soul guide me to Guang Chengzi!"
The Twisted gazed at Jiang Dali’s burly back with resentment and disappointment, gnashing his teeth, for such excellence not falling into being one of the same kind, feeling intense disappointment and envy.
Yes!
Envy!
When an excellent existence succumbs to depravity, they wish for other excellent beings to fall in the same way, so everyone shares the same sorrow of depravity, none exceeding the other, which is the twisted psychology of a Twisted.
Despite the envy, the Twisted still dared not provoke Jiang Dali, having lost courage, lost passion, and all former good qualities, only instructing a Lost Soul to lead Jiang Dali around the Twisted Land to seek Fallen Immortal Guang Chengzi.
Even after witnessing the so-called truth in the Twisted Land, and seeing the greatest secret in this world, Jiang Dali despite the shock, did not abandon the aspiration to break the shackles of this world, leaving the twisted world, even wanting to take all friends nearby away from this twisted world.
At the root, perhaps it’s because he wasn’t originally from this world.
Therefore, even knowing such shocking truth of this world, the mental impact on him was less intense than on the natives who lived in it.
Natives would feel despair at heaven and earth being a vast conspiracy, their worldview crumbling completely.
But his worldview wasn’t limited to just this twisted world; he knew that beyond this world there’s another world, and he won’t give up because of this.
Moreover, as he sees it, this may not necessarily be a cosmic conspiracy; it could very well be a terrifying phenomenon caused by heaven and earth resentment, maybe resolving this resentment could save the twisted world...
