578: Chapter 576 Never change your approach!

[Future Tang Zheng: I have uncovered some secrets. Every Purifier leaves behind some residual thoughts after death; this is the result of a game between two worlds.]

[The consciousness within your body is likely a collection of these residual thoughts. From the moment you became a Purifier, it was born within you. It possesses intelligence, hates The Gloom, but instinctively wants to occupy you and replace you...]

Chu Xuan nodded slightly. This actually aligned very well with what Yang Yu said, but there was one point that contradicted it.

That was that Yang Yu had once said these residual thoughts had actually always existed, perhaps just attached to some object, waiting for a suitable successor to walk this path.

Chu Xuan couldn't help but think: Could [Future Tang Zheng] be the collection of these thoughts? Was the reason he deliberately said these things because the other party had actually been paying attention to his every move for a long time... including his conversation with Yang Yu?

This possibility was very small.

Because [Future Tang Zheng] had predicted future situations correctly more than once, especially this time when he spoke of [Concealment] devouring the Lord of Madness and the news that the world would be destroyed soon after.

The incomparably terrifying heavenly thunder that descended was the best proof.

But all of this did not prevent Chu Xuan from considering the worst outcome.

Murphy's Law: One must consider the worst result, because even if the probability of it happening is small, it is very likely to occur.

[Future Tang Zheng: The method to resolve this is very simple. You just need to keep leveling up in a short time, reach Rank 20 as quickly as possible, and at the same time max out the level of the Fire of Nirvana. Then you can attempt a Breakthrough; the System will naturally give you prompts for the specific conditions when the time comes.]

[Once your life level undergoes a further transformation, you can completely control yourself. By then, the hidden dangers of the Purifier path will be solved.]

"Level up as quickly as possible..."

Chu Xuan's expression was calm, but his mind was turbulent.

Yang Yu had once said that the further one went on the Purifier path, the greater the possibility of being replaced.

Not only that, Yang Yu had also deliberately asked Minister Liu Fumin to pass on a message to him, suggesting it would be best to change to a different promotion path.

And now, [Future Tang Zheng] was telling him to level up as quickly as possible.

After pondering for a while, Chu Xuan's eyes flashed, and he immediately informed the other party about the anomalies in the real attribute he gained after these few level-ups, as well as the number of rule fragments he gained every time he killed a Martial Artist from the Cangyun World.

Finally, Chu Xuan also gave his own conclusion: [My current situation should be somewhat similar to when I faced the Phantom Demon. The further I go on the Purifier path, the higher the risk of being replaced.]

[Future Tang Zheng: That is why I said you need to level up as quickly as possible in a short amount of time. In this way, the consciousness within you will not have time to convert the attribute points you gain and the rule fragments you harvest.]

[Didn't you notice it yourself? The number of rule fragments you gained from the few Cangyun World Martial Artists you killed later has already returned to normal.]

[As for the attribute points gained after leveling up, it is the same principle; you just need to level up continuously in a short time.]

[This is equivalent to a parasite. As long as you, the host, eat enough and quickly enough, and convert nutrients to strengthen yourself in time, then the parasite can only absorb a small portion of the nutrients.]

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows. [Future Tang Zheng]'s analogy was very similar to his previous guess.

[Future Tang Zheng: This is the best solution I have derived after uncovering the secrets of The Gloom and spending a large amount of spirituality value and rule fragments.]

[Since you have already advanced in Rank and your spirit attribute has converted into real attribute, you must have already entered your own spirit space. You should have already encountered "It", right?]

[As long as you ensure that your strength is always stronger than it in the spirit space, you don't need to worry about your body being taken away.]

[Because no matter how the other party hides, when it wants to replace you and occupy your body, it will inevitably manifest in your spirit space. Every time you defeat "It", although you cannot kill it, you can cause it damage and force it to lie dormant.]

Chu Xuan looked thoughtful. This sentence from [Future Tang Zheng] spoke to Chu Xuan's heart again; he had the same thought before.

However, regarding how to deal with the consciousness in his body, Chu Xuan already had a decision in his heart, so he tested again: [I am planning to temporarily switch to another promotion path. What do you think?]

[Future Tang Zheng: Absolutely not! First of all, it is extremely difficult to find a promotion path that is compatible with you. It is very rare to find one that can reach Rank 15, and as for Rank 18 or Rank 20, those require wasting a lot of time and energy.]

[Doing this is just a waste of effort, and even if you find a new path, you will have to consume a lot of resources, slowing down your pace of leveling up and becoming stronger.]

[At the very least, your current Purifier path is enough to support you to reach Rank 20 and become one of the prerequisites for a Breakthrough.]

Chu Xuan fell into silence.

And [Future Tang Zheng] continued to send messages.

[Future Tang Zheng: Besides that, there is an even more important point! Our world has always been affected by the Gloom Invasion, and except for a small number of people, almost everyone has been suppressed by the Rank restrictions.]

[On the initial timeline, for a long time, the Rank of every Transcendent was very difficult to exceed the invading Specter, and they were almost always one step behind.]

[And now, because you have become a Purifier, you have broken this rule. You are equivalent to the pathfinder in this survival race. As long as your leveling speed is fast enough, it will be much simpler for those who come after. This is reflected in the game between worlds, which is to break through the suppression of the darkness rules from multiple dimensions, and even be able to generate rules that are favorable to us.]

[But if you change paths, especially if you achieve a Breakthrough in other ways, then this advantage will gradually be lost, which is not a good thing for you.]

Chu Xuan carefully finished reading the messages that [Future Tang Zheng] sent one after another.

He had to admit that the other party's words made a lot of sense and touched Chu Xuan's heart.

But at this moment, Chu Xuan thought of Yang Yu's words again — [In the process of changing paths, you may be obstructed by that residual thought.]

Are these admonitions not a form of obstruction?

Just then, [Future Tang Zheng] sent another message.

[Future Tang Zheng: Changing paths is a matter of great importance. You shouldn't make such a decision rashly. Did someone bewitch you? Could it be Yang Yu?]

[Chu Xuan: Why do you think it is Yang Yu?]

[Future Tang Zheng: You are already at the forefront of everyone! Besides him, I can't think of anyone else who can influence your decision! Do not believe a word he says, because... Yang Yu is already dead!]

Chu Xuan's gaze suddenly tightened.
