CHAPTER 906: CHAPTER 730: COLLECTIVE WILL_2

The immense Divine Sense Ability swept through, causing the Infinite Heavenly Immortals and the True Immortals who followed them to have a brief pause in their thoughts.

Not far from where the Purple Light Immortal had just perished, his body began to coalesce once more.

"Is he truly unkillable!?"

"Merely the collective will."

Gu Jinlai remained calm, as if this was no surprise: "However, my target has never been you—it’s just that you were in my way."

His words made the Purple Light Immortal slightly stunned, and then he quickly turned his head back.

There, a brilliant and dazzling beam of energy streaked into the Purple Light Immortal’s Grotto Heaven, annihilating the dozens of towering spires and the formations inscribed within.

With a massive roar and in blazing flames, the entire Grotto Heaven seemed to be completely demolished by Gu Jinlai’s strike, stepping towards destruction.

With the destruction of the Grotto Heaven, the Blood Moat Demon Abyss, which used it as a point of leverage and energy core, began to tremble immediately.

The rapidly expanding Demon Realm Rift also started to shrink at an extraordinary speed.

This scene made the Infinite Heavenly Immortals suddenly realize something: "Master Gu’s aim is to prevent the Blood Moat Demon Abyss from opening in this area, avoiding the outbreak of this war within the Purple Light Cave Heaven City Group?"

"Destroying this Grotto Heaven will not stop our arrival!"

From the other side of the Demon Realm Rift, a being that had not only completed Holy Spirit Transformation but was also clad in armor akin to "mecha" shouted lowly.

The fluctuations of his transmitted information were neither spiritual nor like Divine Sense Ability.

"That’s our concern."

Gu Jinlai watched the gradually closing space rift: "You only need to remember one thing, you have reignited the war!"

"So what?"

This being watched Gu Jinlai from across the space, peering from afar.

"So what? You’ll soon find out. I will personally go to the Demon Realm to find you."

Gu Jinlai declared.

"Hah... there’s no need, a new passage will soon form elsewhere, and I will personally come to find you."

This being spoke quietly, a fluctuation as strong as that of a Great Dao Golden Immortal’s special resonance spreading through space: "Remember, I am the Ruins Sky Master!"

"Buzz, buzz!"

From that moment on, the space rift closed entirely.

Gu Jinlai’s gaze stayed on the sealed space momentarily, then he turned his head to look at the Purple Light Immortal.

Although his body had been shattered by Gu Jinlai, the Purple Light Immortal’s expression showed no fear: "You can’t kill me, just as you can never annihilate an ideology!"

"The Holy Spirit belongs to the collective will, and you merely represent this collective will. But once this collective disappears, the will naturally vanishes as well."

Gu Jinlai said, once again extending his hand.

In an instant, a powerful wave of Divine Thought restrained the Purple Light Immortal.

The Divine Sense Ability that erupted at this moment immediately caused a shock in the mind of this Heavenly Immortal, who had transformed himself into a Holy Spirit and set on another cultivation path: "How can your Divine Sense Ability be this strong!?"

"There is still much for you to understand."

Gu Jinlai said, glancing at the vanished space fluctuation: "Much for you to learn as well! Why do you think, that after having spent just a few years moving from Refining God to Profound Immortal, I would experience no change in cultivation? Why do you still look at me as if I should be treated like a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal?"

"Just... a few years?"

The Purple Light Immortal couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

He could feel a force rapidly infiltrating his mind, eroding it.

Yet his Divine Sense Ability was completely suppressed by that force, unable to move.

"The power of Evil Gods can decompose the Great Dao, so their spirituality belongs to the most fundamental particles of reality, but Divine Spirits, existing between Immortal Golden Immortal and Evil God, despite having transformed into the Will of All Living Beings, collective life, do not possess the ability to decompose."

Gu Jinlai explained.

If Immortal Golden Immortals are compared to a Constant Star, then Divine Spirits undoubtedly are equivalent to billions upon billions of hydrogen bombs matching the total mass of the star.

And Evil Gods...

They are directly the Hydrogen Element.

On a macro level, they are the same, but in reality, the difference is immense.

"The Divine Spirit System acquired stronger survival abilities, but from whole to parts, in some ways, it is weaker than the Immortal Golden Immortal. This is why its birth didn’t alarm the Immortal Golden Immortals too much back then..."

"You cannot kill me. My will returns to the collective. Unless you kill everyone in the Freedom Church and destroy all those who provide me willpower. And in the Longevity World, that number is in the billions."

The Purple Light Immortal quickly regained his composure, coldly looking at Gu Jinlai: "So, will you kill billions of people? According to your Lingxiao Palace’s rules, how would you be judged for such enormous slaughter!?"

He mocked: "Or is it because the rules are made by you and you don’t need to follow them? After all, no one can judge you."

"The collective will, and I am All Living Beings..."

Gu Jinlai sighed: "This is precisely why the Divine Spirit System, despite not threatening the Immortal Golden Immortals much, is ultimately suppressed by the Immortal System. It acts against the Human Clan and undermines the foundation of the Immortal System."

He looked at the Purple Light Immortal.

Theoretically, to annihilate the Purple Light Immortal, he would have to, like other Golden Immortals or Immortal Golden Immortals when they kill Holy Spirits, eradicate all life’s he has tainted.

Even if that number is one billion, several billion, or even tens of billions!

Even the more benevolent Golden Immortals, Immortal Golden Immortals would lock them up on a planet, sealing and severing any information related to that Holy Spirit and its associated Divine Spirit, then gradually cleanse and redirect their thoughts one by one.
