Mirror Nezha was truly moved by Nezha's words, because his consciousness was shaped from Nezha's Divine Soul.

Nezha looked at a version of himself as though just out of school, eyes clear with a trace of 'wisdom', knowing he was about to be persuaded. He knew himself too well, and immediately said, "If you don't believe others, do you not believe in yourself, you fool? Think about your character!"

Mirror Nezha, having been born not long ago, had not had the time for his thoughts to grow. He furrowed his brows slightly, his eyes vacant as he began to ponder, thinking about his character?

Possessing most of Nezha's traits, he thought about his character?

Completely confused! Of course, complete confusion!

Activating thought acceleration, his brain started to operate, and then with a small clap of his hands, "Right, if I don't even believe in myself, who else would?"

"Alright, we'll cooperate."

Nezha immediately adopted a look of having gained a great advantage, and after some negotiation where both sides proposed their own conditions, Nezha shouted, "At this age and still not a Saint, can you sleep well? I certainly can't!"

After saying this, he felt his body, which had been slightly awkward, return to normal. Mirror Nezha's thinking no longer opposed his own but instead obediently began to meditate and cultivate. At the same time, a message was transmitted from Mirror Nezha to Nezha.

If one were to describe Nezha's current feeling, it's as if he gained an internal brain, upgraded from a single-core to a dual-core processor, and one with certain Demon God capabilities at that.

His original cultivation was akin to playing a game where he had to grind endlessly to increase his cultivation, but now it's different. He can passively receive benefits, an aspect that would make numerous cultivators weep with envy.

Mirror Nezha is a newborn Spirit created by the Thought Demon God using some method based on Nezha's Divine Soul power.

You could think of it as Nezha developing a secondary personality disorder, or directly as an offspring of Nezha in another form.

Its instinct is to keep seizing Nezha's Divine Soul, eventually replacing it, but the problem is that the methods of the Thought Demon God were too formidable.

This being, apart from its instinct to contend with Nezha for dominance, possessed more spirituality and had learned to think independently. Now, after a round of persuasion from Nezha, it also had a more noble goal.

Not only did it suppress its own instincts, but it also became an aid to Nezha's cultivation. This meant that even without Corpse Cutting, he enjoyed the treatment of a One Corpse Quasi-Saint.

The method of Cutting Three Corpses is to cut out one's obsessions to form new entities, thereby aligning more closely with the Great Dao while possessing a second consciousness, achieving a 1+1＞1 effect.

Nezha wasn't sure if Mirror Nezha, possessing thought acceleration and other abilities, would boost his progress more than a corpse-cutting avatar, but having one is better than none.

Moreover, Nezha could later make it appear as though he had become an Evil Corpse to fool others. A One Corpse cultivation, in a Primordial world devoid of Saints, was already top-notch, yet still a considerable distance from becoming a Saint, engendering a position of reverence without eliciting the fear of some. It's a very comfortable position.

He did not plan to walk the path of Corpse Cutting, but he couldn't tell others, nor let anyone guess his real progress in cultivation.

Only at the final moment would it be time to reveal his cards.

Rubbing his brow to deal with the aftermath of the encounter with the Demon God, he sat down to meditate, adapting to the presence of Mirror Nezha and adjusting his body to its peak state. He also shared many outer Dao methods belonging to the Thought Demon God from Mirror Nezha, the most eye-catching of which was thought acceleration.

The operational speed of the Divine Soul is limited by many factors, such as the quality and strength of the soul, and the strength of the physical body. Typically, the higher the cultivation level of an immortal, the faster their thought speed. Within the same breath, a Golden Immortal might have thought through thousands of ideas, while True Immortals and Profound Immortals might only manage a few hundred.

This is also one of the reasons the repression of cultivation grows more severe the further one progresses, and fighting across realms becomes more challenging. After all, with unequal mana and understanding of the Dao, if your mind can't keep up, what chance do you have?

This limitation is both a shackle and protection. There are individuals whose natural Divine Soul activity exceeds that of common people. These individuals are what people call geniuses, whose thinking is innately several times or even dozens of times faster than others', appearing incredibly monstrous in thinking and learning ability. This is the so-called otherworldly insight, and the price is a significant reduction in lifespan.

Further still are the madmen, whose thoughts are so lively they consume their physical body to compensate, these people often live chaotically, exhausting their brainstem in thought, dying young.

In a normal world, this is what is known as heaven's jealousy of talent.

The ability Nezha now possesses allows him to exert this on himself, breaking through all constraints on the Divine Soul with outer Dao power, bringing Nezha to a transcendent mode.

This state in Daoism is called enlightenment, and in Buddhism, parinirvana. Abandoning the constraints of the physical body and plunging into the endless Great Dao, the advantage is a dramatic increase in cultivation speed. The downside is the rapid consumption of Divine Soul power. If not managed well, it could literally play oneself to death.

Now, Nezha's cultivation speed, enhanced by the Creation Jade Scroll, Merit, and other external factors, has already reached a very high multiplier. If his base speed increases three to four times more now, the resulting actual effect for Nezha will be extremely terrifying.

After some tests, he found that opening four times the thought acceleration put him in a very comfortable state. The consumption speed of the Divine Soul balanced well with the recovery speed, having no impact on Nezha's combat strength.
