"Back then, I was ambushed by the Void Celestial, Tutenmu, and was corrupted by Master of the Abyssal Void's true projection," Xu Jingming explained. "With the dean and the others' help, I could visualize Abyssal Void's projection after I woke up… From it, I found a suitable path for my spearmanship! By following this path, I eventually grasped the Heart Realm Force."
Blacksky was a high-dimensional lifeform after all, and he had a long lifespan. His knowledge was second only to the dean and the others. Xu Jingming now felt the 'danger' of the imitation method, so he naturally hoped to receive pointers.
"Heart Realm Force?" Blacksky nodded. "The basic power grasped by Master of the Abyssal Void is the Heart Realm Force. Cultivating the complete Abyssal Void legacy, whether superficially or to a deep level, eventually leads to grasping the Heart Realm Force. However… you grasped the Heart Realm Force using spearmanship? That's new!"
"Although Master of the Abyssal Void has hidden different paths, they ultimately share the same destination. This is the third realm," Blacksky said. "He completely accommodates all paths with his mind."
"Different paths have the same destination?" Xu Jingming understood.
When he looked at Master of the Abyssal Void, regardless of whether he chose the Devouring lineage, the Dark Primordial Star lineage, or his current spearmanship path, the final destination was Heart Realm Force!
"My heart is devoted to the spear, and I use spearmanship to temper my mind," Xu Jingming said. "In a century or so, I refined all the impurities in my mind and completely purified it."
"After that, I tried the imitation method. Imitation of Master of the Abyssal Void's appearance and even his inner self…" Xu Jingming explained in detail.
Blacksky widened his eyes. "Imitation method?"
Xu Jingming looked at Blacksky. "Is there a problem?"
"Yes, absolutely." Blacksky looked at Xu Jingming. "It's no wonder you give me the feeling that you're getting more and more terrifying. So you're beginning to try imitation?"
"Is there any flaw in the imitation method?" Xu Jingming immediately asked.
Blacksky sighed. "As a third-realm high-dimensional lifeform, He can sense the mere mention of His name. Although He is completely dead, and we can casually mention His name, and there are even people in the outside world who cultivate the Abyssal Void legacy, imitating a third-realm great existence…"
Xu Jingming listened attentively.
"Third-realm existences are high and mighty in high-dimensional space. If they don't wish to die, they will never die," Blacksky said. "Therefore, following in their footsteps and imitating them is also something many lifeforms did early on."
"Imitation isn't easy. First, your strength has to be 100% compatible with them, allowing you to completely refine all powers that aren't compatible," Blacksky explained. "As for you, you used your spearmanship to refine and purify your mind."
Xu Jingming nodded.
"Only when one is 100% compatible with a third-realm existence can they imitate it. Therefore, the more one cultivates and accumulates insights, such as those who have already grasped high-dimensional powers on other paths, it's very difficult to have 100% compatibility," Blacksky explained. "But high-dimensional space is infinite, and there are many weak lifeforms who can have a 100% compatibility. Naturally, many of them have tried the imitation method."
"What were the results of their imitation?" Xu Jingming asked.
"As the imitation continues, they will become more and more similar to the third-realm lifeform," Blacksky said. "Every lifeform has their own consciousness, but when the imitation reaches a certain level, one will feel the intrusion of a mighty third-realm lifeform's consciousness and emotions."
"Different consciousnesses, different emotions in the same body…" Blacksky glanced at Xu Jingming. "What do you think will happen?"
"Go crazy?" Xu Jingming asked.
"A conflict of consciousness will result in all kinds of consequences," Blacksky continued. "There were also crazy evolvers who—in a bid to seek strength—focused on imitating the consciousness and even took the initiative to suppress their sense of self."
"From what I know, there are indeed people in infinite high-dimensional space who use imitation to become high-dimensional lifeforms! But once they use imitation to become high-dimensional lifeforms, they will directly become puppets," Blacksky said.
"Puppets?" Xu Jingming was puzzled.
"They completely lose themselves! All that's left is the consciousness and emotions of the third-realm lifeforms they imitate," Blacksky said. "They will only do something mechanically according to the influence of the third-realm existence."
"If the third-realm existence remains alive, they might be able to control them and make them servants."
"But the third-realm existence is already dead! As a result, they will mechanically do something repetitively," Blacksky said. "Despite being alive, it's no different from death."
Xu Jingming was surprised.
Xu Jingming felt that having no sense of self was no different from death.
"You don't have to worry either." Blacksky looked at Xu Jingming. "Those whose powers are 100% compatible with the third realm after purification can only undergo imitation. At most, their consciousness will be divided, and their emotions will be in chaos. They won't be able to reach the level of becoming a high-dimensional lifeform puppet."
"Divided consciousness?" Xu Jingming frowned.
"Secretary General Blacksky, if I continue imitating and immediately stop the imitation the moment I sense a new consciousness appear in my body, what will the consequences be?" Xu Jingming gazed at Blacksky.
"You don't want to give up?" Blacksky gave Xu Jingming a meaningful look.
"I don't have a legacy. I've tried other paths, but they're very slow," Xu Jingming said calmly. "The imitation method is the only way for me to obtain enough high-dimensional information."
