Chapter 68 Raging Lust
night!
Chen Zheng withdrew part of his consciousness, looked at the fire orchid on the table, thought for a moment, and instead of cultivating it, put it away.
Take a shower and go to sleep.
The next morning, Chen Zheng got up, washed up, and went out as usual.
Today, instead of rushing down the stairs, he waited in front of the elevator, along with a dozen or so other students on the same floor.
Five elevators were running up and down. After waiting for a few minutes, the side elevator opened, but it was already packed with people.
Chen Zheng felt a slight sense of irritation after failing to get on the elevator, and he even had an urge to beat all those guys up and throw them out.
Chen Zheng raised an eyebrow, not suppressing his emotions.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Chen Zheng finally got an elevator that wasn't full yet.
Stepping into the elevator, there were seven men and four women inside. One of the men was even more handsome than Chen Zheng, causing the four women in the elevator to steal glances at him from time to time.
He felt a bit annoyed and wanted to kill him. Without any 'control,' a very faint feeling of 'jealousy' began to grow in Chen Zheng's heart.
Interesting, I actually get jealous of people who are more handsome than me.
Stepping out of the elevator, Chen Zheng felt a little disappointed that he hadn't seen Bai Su today. Uh... what was he disappointed about? Was it because he hadn't seen a beautiful woman?
The morning sunlight streamed down outside the dormitory building, illuminating the vibrant figures, including Chen Zheng.
Feeling the warmth of the sunlight on his body, Chen Zheng instinctively felt a faint sense of repulsion and disgust; he felt he preferred the darkness.
Chen Zheng pondered, "Indeed, I've been affected by the Abyss. When did it begin?"
"It seems that after the Abyss Avatar broke through to the third tier and received the blessing of that wisp of Abyss power, it became quite noticeable."
"Chen Zheng is here."
"Good morning, Chen Zheng."
As he entered the classroom, some classmates greeted him warmly, and Chen Zheng responded with a smile, but inwardly he calmly sensed the fluctuations in his emotions.
"These people are so annoying, can't they just be quiet?"
Just then, a fragrant breeze wafted from behind Chen Zheng, and Xu Hui patted him on the shoulder: "Good morning, Chen Zheng."
"morning."
Chen Zheng turned around and smiled as he looked at the beautiful girl who was wearing a purple belted long dress today, which made her figure appear even more voluptuous and tall.
Noticing Chen Zheng's gaze sweeping over her chest, Xu Hui's cheeks flushed slightly, but she did not look away.
Fortunately, Chen Zheng's aggressive gaze only flashed by for a moment. At that moment, another classmate walked into the classroom, and the two of them went to their respective seats.
When passing by some pretty female classmates, Chen Zheng's eyes would unconsciously sweep over them.
"Is it lust this time?" Chen Zheng pondered as he sat down, seemingly feeling that the abyss was amplifying his desires.
No, it can't be that simple.
"Hey! Chen Zheng, we've received over 100,000 yuan more this morning."
Jiang Mo excitedly came over, and the background of his personal terminal showed that the Rune Notes had been downloaded more than sixty times.
"Sure." Chen Zheng's eyes lit up slightly, and a feeling of joy welled up in his heart.
Is this greed?
After chatting casually with Jiang Mo for a few minutes, Chen Zheng turned off the projection function of his personal terminal on his left wrist, then brought it to his lips and whispered something.
"Number One, search online for all information related to [Abyss Contamination]."
Soon, hundreds of titles appeared on the terminal screen. Chen Zheng's gaze fell on the top post with tens of millions of likes, titled "Multiple Pollutions of the Abyss".
Chen Zheng clicked on the content, and dense text appeared.
Unlike the Abyss and the Void, it does not distort the form of life and cause deformities, nor does it turn infected individuals into deformed monsters with wildly dancing tentacles and grotesque scales.
The pollution of the abyss is an extreme amplification of darkness and negativity, and it is divided into pollution at the level of consciousness and pollution of the body through demonic transformation.
Pollution at the level of consciousness is the infinite amplification of negative emotions such as desires and obsessions.
Like a black mirror, it magnifies whatever you are.
For example, if a person who is inherently cruel is corrupted by the abyss, he will become even more cruel, and eventually it may even turn into a lifelong belief in slaughtering all living beings.
When a person with an intense inner obsession is corrupted by the abyss, their desire to protect will be amplified to the point of fanaticism.
To protect what he wants to protect, he can slaughter any potential threat, including the innocent.
But in essence, he is still a "guardian," only his way of protecting has become extreme and dark.
The internet is currently rife with personal speculations and conjectures about the abyss and corruption, suggesting that those corrupted by the power of the abyss will gradually lose their self-awareness and turn into chaotic monsters.
These views are all misleading.
In the new era, the Abyss is everywhere, and those who are corrupted by the Abyss will not only not lose themselves, but will become more self-centered and extreme.
Therefore, those who are corrupted by the abyss often do not realize that they have been corrupted in the early stages.
This is terrifying. Our friends and family may have already been corrupted by the abyss, but even they themselves may not know it.
...Chen Zheng's gaze sharpened as he read this, feeling as if he had been told the truth. He then continued to flip through the pages.
The characteristics of physical corruption and contamination are that the body, power, and ideology will gradually become dark and corrupted.
Even after being corrupted, these "people" retain their true selves, and some are even still "good people," driven only by their obsessions.
But regardless of whether this person is good or bad, their very existence has become a coordinate for the abyss's invasion of the world, and they must be suppressed or banished.
This post provides a very thorough study of the pollution in the abyss, including the nature of the abyss itself.
The narrative speculates that the essence of the abyss is the concept formed by the resentment, despair, and obsession of countless beings during the destruction of countless universes, combined with the final force of destruction.
Therefore, the abyss is like a cancer cell in the endless universe, filled with destruction, darkness, and pollution.
It has no sense of good or evil, no ultimate goal, only an insatiable hunger etched into its very being, a desire to devour all worlds and planes to strengthen itself.
At the very bottom of this post, there are also methods for "self-rescue" if you find yourself in the early stages of Abyss Contamination.
The first type of physical demonization involves seeking official assistance to refine the abyssal energy accumulated within the body.
The second type of consciousness influences "extreme focus," which involves concentrating on learning, diminishing desires, and recognizing that the orderly "knowledge" of the material world naturally repels the darkness of the abyss.
The third method, also targeting consciousness pollution, is [emotional stripping]; the fourth is [mind sealing]; the fifth is [desire guidance]; and the sixth is [willpower tempering]...
...As Chen Zheng read on, he realized that although the post was very professional, it somehow felt like an official announcement.
"Abyss corruption..."
After comparing the content of the post, Chen Zheng found that it should be an influence at the level of consciousness, but it was different from conventional pollution.
Others might exaggerate one aspect to an extreme, but he has it all.
From this morning until now, he has experienced emotions such as jealousy, rage, greed, and lust.
Chen Zheng stroked his chin. It was obvious that he was not corrupted by the Abyss, but had been a part of the Abyss ever since his Abyss body was hatched.
In the early stages, the Abyss Body was too weak, so it didn't have much of an impact on the Human Body. It only became more and more obvious after absorbing the power of fear.
And that's the most troublesome part.
Because the Black Flame Dragon is part of the Abyss, Chen Zheng is unable to purify his own Abyssification.
In other words, he will eventually become a demon god who destroys the world!
This will definitely not work.
He didn't want to become a demon god driven by the will of the abyss. Even if he wanted to destroy the world, it would be his, Chen Zheng's, desire to destroy it, not that he was driven by the abyss.
If you can't purify it, then find a way to control it. Chen Zheng looked at the solutions below the post, three of which were more suitable for his current situation.
[Strengthening Willpower]
[Driven by Desire]
Extreme Focus
