Chapter 668: Chapter 401: Endings and New Beginnings
Although Xue Dili had believed that this time he was somewhat rare in possessing fairly comprehensive intelligence.
Unlike last time when he knew nothing about the background of the Ninth Apostle, relying solely on the attacks and probes of the Interstellar Corps to find out about the depths of the Ninth Apostle, and that tiny opportunity for an attack, then he just charged forward recklessly.
This was because standing beside him was the master of the Twelfth Apostle, a master who thoroughly knew almost all the secrets and abilities of the Apostles, coupled with Xue Dili’s probing during this period, all to prepare a plan to kill this Apostle.
But now...
Wrong, all wrong!
There was no Mephisto, there were no Ming Dynasty Transmigrators at all...
No, or perhaps this Mephisto was essentially just a World Consciousness disguised as a Transmigrator!
The Twelfth Apostle, she was the World Will of this world!
A World Consciousness that after growing through its own capabilities, had fished up quite a few good things in Subspace, even belonging to the level capable of sitting at the same table as Earth in terms of status.
But unfortunately, she didn’t know why her tail was caught by the Apostle, and in a state of extreme urgency, she thought of such a method.
Using an alien soul she had once fished up as her hidden sheath, encasing herself within this sheath, achieving the operation of "Reincarnation and Cultivation," while during this reincarnation and cultivation she completely forgot she was World Consciousness, living under the guise of a "Transmigrator."
And her goal was to become a full-fledged Apostle, the conclusion of the road to ascension, when World Consciousness completely turns into a full Apostle, she then would recover all memories and dominion, and then truly ascend in one stroke to become a monster beyond Xue Dili’s imagination.
A monster possessing both the rank of Apostle and the ability to wholly control planetary dominion, Xue Dili had no idea what rank such an entity would hold among the Apostles, at least her power on her native land was myriad times stronger than typical World Consciousness.
It can even be said, if Mephisto succeeds, she would belong to the kind who could escape by herself, detach from the star’s gravitational pull, then initiate a wandering planet mode, if she wishes, drilling into other star systems, even the Fourth Apostle would be unable to find her.
At this moment, even Xue Dili was rendered silent by this information, he now even without the emotion-provided Flowing Light Sand, felt a horror and chill emanating from deep within him.
Thus, all the suspicious points could be explained.
No wonder the Gender Transformation Potion became the underlying logic of this world, Mephisto completely changed gender, and even Faust didn’t know.
It appears indeed, Mephisto’s gender change occurred upon consuming the fruit and contracting into an Apostle, yet for some reason, she didn’t achieve a complete Apostle form, hence the occurrence of such a case, but even so, the incompatibility between body and soul still resulted in unimaginable changes.
That is to say, before the fruit was consumed, perhaps the soul baseline of "Transmigrator" dominated, but after consuming it, the subconsciousness of the world began to take control.
World Consciousness completely seized the soul baseline of this Transmigrator, which was a possession myriad times stronger than the Heart Stealer’s possession, and let herself utterly abandon planetary dominion to start anew in life with resolve and will...
Xue Dili had to acknowledge, this planetary consciousness’s perseverance and resolve, along with such decisive choices.
But in the end, was this planetary consciousness holding such an attitude toward the humans under her rule?
Xue Dili even wondered, when Mephisto decided to kneel to the Fourth Apostle, was it the planetary consciousness possessing this Ming Dynasty Transmigrator, or was it the Ming Dynasty Transmigrator reverse possessing the planetary consciousness.
She instinctively made the decision to betray the humans on her body, to secure more development time for herself, perhaps even Mephisto herself didn’t understand why she had this innate thought logic, that she must delay time to develop herself as much as possible.
As long as she grows, everything will be fine, just giving up a part of the humans on her body, allows her to gain more development time and space again.
When viewed from the perspective of planetary consciousness, Xue Dili found no issue with it!
To planetary consciousness, humans were merely akin to the hair on her body, or at most only comparable to a portion of the skin, now requiring the sacrifice of only an extremely small section of skin, it could be exchanged for sufficient resources and authority to live a loafing life, would you be willing to trade?
Especially as Xue Dili saw in the backstage records, for Mephisto annually only needing to tribute 2 million women, it could secure the Fourth Apostle’s support and resources, such transactions were also not unacceptable to her.
As for whether these tributed women became mere baby-making factories, or became the nourishment for the Divine Tree under the Fourth Apostle, Xue Dili remained clueless.
This aspect wouldn’t be recorded in the planetary records either, it merely recorded the final tribute quantity.
But now, the planetary ritual completely transformed into a paralytic vegetative state, akin to humans who underwent a lobotomy-like operation, losing their thinking capability, yet retaining the instincts and basic functions of planetary consciousness.
Over long durations in such circumstances, this world would see the emergence of a new planetary consciousness belonging to it.
