Chapter 1538 The Difference Between Gods and Mortals
Lin Yu hadn't really forgotten that the "God of Frost" was imprisoned in this core area. After all, even if Lin Yu was very forgiving, he couldn't possibly forget a god who had just attacked him.
Although, to be fair, there were quite a few gods who attacked him earlier, the Frost God was, after all, the "first" one.
However, a large part of the reason why Lin Yu was not on guard was because he took it for granted that...
Since this Frost God is a "deity," he is probably more special than the other prisoners in this core area who have not become gods.
It is known that at least a dozen prisoners are being held in this core area. Even if the "Frost God" is not treated in any special way as a deity, logically speaking, he should be kept in a relatively deep place, right?
Moreover, Lin Yu didn't think he would be so unlucky as to encounter the God of Frost when he blindly opened the third cell.
But at this moment, facing the frost on his legs and the undeniable fact that he had been released from prison this time and had directly reached the "God of Frost," he had no choice but to admit it.
First of all, the "God of Fairness and Judgment" is indeed fair and will not give the "God of Frost" any special treatment or imprison him in a deeper place just because he is a god.
Secondly...
I really am that unlucky.
"As expected, we were too optimistic and took things for granted. In such a complex situation with many high-ranking figures involved, we must make the worst-case scenario plans for every step we take and we cannot relax in the slightest."
Lin Yu sighed inwardly.
As an ordinary person, if I relax even slightly, I will reveal my weaknesses and make mistakes.
Fortunately... although he makes mistakes, he is also able to make amends for them.
Although his limbs are frozen, Lin Yu is not using his original body; this is a body he created himself that he can discard at any time.
If Lin Yu could abandon his entire body, what would be more important than his two legs?
However, what's slightly more troublesome than the frost on my legs is the recurrence of mental stagnation.
Moreover, Lin Yu understood that this time he was facing the undisputed true form of the "God of Frost".
The frost was eroding his soul and mind more than twice as fast as before.
But this time, Lin Yu didn't have Zheng Jianshen to help him.
He can only rely on himself!
And [Ancient Notes].
Even someone as cautious as Lin Yu, though prone to making mistakes due to laxity, often does so because he has acquired some kind of leverage to "relax."
At this moment, Lin Yu's actions in the core area are somewhat reckless. One important reason is that he is now only one step away from clearing the dungeon. He can leave this [dungeon] at any time by initiating a duel and using the power of the 'Death Game' that no high-ranking being can defy to leave this "eternal cage", leave the divine kingdom of the "God of Fairness and Judgment", and leave the entire divine realm.
It's like watching a horror movie on a computer. No matter how scary it is, Lin Yu can close the window at any time by clicking the "X" in the upper right corner. Although it's not exactly that simple, having the option to exit at any time naturally gives people an unparalleled sense of security.
Of course, another important reason is...
Lin Yu's current body is a projection of his soul information materialized from the [Ancient Notes]. It is similar to the structure of an information life form. Although it brings Lin Yu many inconveniences, it also gives him more advantages besides being able to abandon this body at any time.
After all, Lin Yu has a huge advantage over ordinary information life forms or Lao Zheng, whose body was also constructed by the projection of "information materialization".
That is... he is still the holder of the [Ancient Notes].
In other words, after Lin Yu created his own body using the Ancient Notes, he could directly influence his current body and existence by manipulating the Ancient Notes.
Now, Lin Yu has literally become the master of his own life!
Even though the influence of this "frost" is not limited to the physical body, it is also eroding Lin Yu's mind and soul.
but……
When Lin Yu's soul resides within this "physical information," he can naturally exert influence on his own soul!
Although Lin Yu is now a genuine prisoner, no matter how many special experiences and "tools" he has, he is still just a mortal.
However, by taking advantage of his current unique life form, his already special soul pattern, and the [Ancient Notes]...
Lin Yu began to use his "information" authority to influence his own soul!
“The soul’s sluggishness is essentially a slowdown in the speed of ‘processing information’… In that case, I will completely transform a part of my soul into a part of the ‘information’ authority!”
At this moment, a portion of Lin Yu's fragmented soul has completely and actively assimilated with the "Information Authority"—Lin Yu transformed part of his soul into the form of an information life form and entered the [Ancient Notes], yet maintained a complete connection with his original body.
At present, Lin Yu appears to be half inside the [Ancient Notes] and half still in reality on a soul level. The half inside the [Ancient Notes] has undergone a transformation in its life form, and its soul structure has become that of an information life form.
The soul of an information life form... is inherently slightly superior to the soul of an ordinary living being in terms of information processing speed.
not to mention……
As the holder of the [Ancient Notes], Lin Yu can also actively enhance the thinking speed and information intake of information life forms.
With this addition and subtraction...
Lin Yu instantly resolved the issues of his sluggish thinking and frozen soul, and even began an accelerated thinking and calculation mode several times faster than his original thinking speed!
Through this rapid thinking process, Lin Yu also became aware of some things he had never encountered before.
“I see… Although the Frost God is an amateur as a ‘god,’ and I am just a prisoner, we seem to have actually achieved a kind of balancing act that is very common between gods!”
In the clash between gods, the most important part is always the collision between "powers"!
The best way to deal with the influence of one authority is to overwrite it with another authority!
Therefore, Lin Yu did not choose to try his best to avoid the "Frost Authority" by his own means, but instead used and surrounded the materialized "Information Authority" to directly exert a new influence on his soul to offset the effect caused by the "Frost Authority". This can indeed be regarded as the best solution at present!
But, when facing a god...
Even if you achieve the "optimal solution", it doesn't mean everything is fine and you don't have to pay any price!
Maintaining his thoughts and soul at an accelerated pace, Lin Yu gripped the [Ancient Notebook] tightly and immediately "disintegrated" his body.
Then, in an instant, Lin Yu formed a new body that was unaffected by the frost.
And just as he was transferring his consciousness and soul back into this new body...
In just that short time, Lin Yu discovered...
The Frost God seized the opportunity during the brief gap created by the exchange of his two bodies.
The menacing white mist and frost coiled fiercely around him like a trapped dragon—but this frosty aura was not targeting him.
But...
One's "true self" in a certain sense is enveloped by this aura.
Frost had formed and now appeared on the cover of the notebook in Lin Yu's hand!
The God of Frost directly applied His authority over "Frost" to the [Ancient Notes] itself!
This is indeed a struggle of "power versus power"—except that the Frost God has skipped the stage of exerting influence on "Lin Yu" through frost, and the indirect struggle for "information" power.
And His choice was...
Let the two authorities of "Frost" and "Information" collide and interfere directly!
The direct confrontation between the two authorities erupted into a strange and terrifying energy fluctuation with an absolute "superiority"!
Even though this is the realm of gods, the kingdom of another god, the surrounding environment is inevitably distorted due to the influence of the two "authorities".
Lin Yu looked at the God of Frost—the two were still in the corridor outside the cell and inside the cell, separated only by a door.
When the confrontation between the two reached its most intense moment, a clash of "power," Lin Yu initiated a direct dialogue with the other party for the first time.
"What's the point of doing this?"
"Even if you are a god... a complete authority cannot destroy, devour, or completely suppress another complete authority."
Lin Yu said in a low voice.
This was an insight he gained immediately after the clash between "frost" and "information" had just begun.
The God of Frost looked at Lin Yu and answered his question.
“You’re right… but the authority you hold, though intact, isn’t exactly ‘functioning properly’—it’s sealed.”
“The power within the seal is naturally different from the power in the normal state.”
The voice of the Frost God was old but not weak, filled with the erudition and confidence of a wise man.
But Lin Yu could hear it...
"You're just bluffing. While my 'authority' is indeed sealed, your 'frost' authority is also sealed."
Lin Yu looked at the God of Frost and spoke calmly.
The God of Frost nodded: "Indeed... but I don't need to completely suppress your authority—Lin Yu, there is a fundamental difference between us—the difference between a god and a mortal."
Lin Yu narrowed his eyes: "What's the difference?"
"The difference between gods and mortals is that 'authority' depends on the existence, activities, and external influence of gods. Gods are above authority and are the controllers of authority... while mortals are not like that."
“Especially now, your situation is exactly the opposite of mine as a god—that authority not only exists independently of you, but...your existence depends entirely on it!”
