This Necromancer Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1661: 454 The True Essence of Reincarnation and Death_3

Unless he no longer cared for his life!

As for the first strategy…

Matthew glanced at the other four people who were still unconscious, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

The Dusk Disaster is a very powerful phenomenon.

The frightening aspect of it lies in its ability to subtly influence a person’s mind and body.

Matthew had been through it.

...

He knew very well that when you were in the midst of it, many things that would normally seem bizarre would start to appear logical and reasonable in your eyes.

Traps full of holes in the eyes of the outsider,

Would be completely undetectable to the person trapped within, not even a hint of something amiss!

Everything feels so natural.

The most terrifying part is,

When Matthew put himself in the shoes of someone experiencing the Dusk Disaster, pondering whether he would have had the chance to change anything if the contents turned into reality, his heart provided a rather pessimistic answer!

"In the end, that Divine King Matthew in the dream was indeed a true projection from the depths of my soul!”

"To become a god, to act recklessly, to live dissolutely, to become distorted, and then to face the dusk

"It’s almost an inevitable fate!”

It was the irreversible moral distortion brought about by the uncontrollable expansion of supernatural powers upon an individual.

The eventual outcome of it all,

Does not change with personal will, nor does it have anything to do with an individual’s quality, morals, or integrity—

When you live long enough and possess great enough strength, you gradually become desensitized to everything that once interested you.

In order to prove your existence,

You’ll urgently seek any possible stimulation.

This is exactly the beginning of losing control and heading towards destruction.

It was at that moment,

Matthew once again felt profound admiration for Isabelle and the others for their greatness from deep within his heart.

The apparent madness of the Heavenly Mages,

Is actually the result of super self-discipline and extreme restraint.

If it had been ordinary people,

They likely would have been even crazier!

Of course, this might also have something to do with the fact that the Heavenly Mages have not lived long enough.

At that moment,

Matthew was controlling the precariously unstable Lost Paradise, desperately fleeing on the verge of the slowly collapsing Heavenly Family Palace.

The continuously collapsing space led to a newfound enlightenment within him—

"That’s why short-lived species can appreciate the splendor of life itself.”

"While for long-lived species or immortals, as the years increase, the madness within them continuously accumulates, ultimately leading them on the path to self-destruction! If they are unable or still unaware to self-destruct, then they would bring destruction to the entire world along with them!”

"This is the profound truth engraved in the core of life in the Multiverse!”

"Every life, at the moment of its birth, has already written its own future death!”

"Life is such, planes are such, it’s merely a matter of sooner or later

Matthew remembered what the Calamity Mage had said.

She might have foreseen the ruin of the world, and attributed it to the gods.

Therefore, there was the Ascension of the Heavenly Palace.

But in reality,

The destruction of the world has nothing to do with the gods, they are merely an inevitable catalyst.

If others were to gain the power and life span of eternity, they would ultimately bring about disaster as well.

This is the inevitable fate.

Because—

"Life, is Death.”

Matthew’s eyes gradually brightened.

At that moment,

All the domains within him began to boil.

The balance between the Oak Tree and the Undead was broken, and then sublimated, eventually fusing between life and death.

The boundaries of these two major domains also began to expand continuously.

Amidst Matthew’s rapidly surging thoughts and mind,

The previously somewhat thin Domain Contract was instantly expanded by tens of thousands of words!

At that moment,

His other domains within were pushed aside.

Only life and death were rapidly expanding and compressing each other.

The two major domains seemed to be engaged in an unprecedented contest.

Amid the intense collisions,

Both domains became incredibly twisted—but within that distortion, there was a dynamic harmony.

Matthew released a faint power from the Divine King Authority.

The Tauren Domain and the Equilibrium Domain also expanded violently.

Ultimately,

The domains of life and death within him achieved an unprecedented coordination.

And the previously precarious Equilibrium Domain,

Had now become much stronger!

…

"Prompt: You have profoundly comprehended the profound meanings and laws of life and death.

You acquired three Abilities in both the domain of life and the domain of death, as well as a nascent authority!

You have achieved a new balance.

Your Equilibrium Domain has become even stronger!

Your Domain Ability ‘harmonize spells’ has sublimated into ‘Extraordinary Harmony’!

Extraordinary Harmony: Now, you can use a certain supernatural power of the same Attribute to harmonize more of the same type of supernatural powers from different factions!”

…

"Extraordinary Harmony

"This is exactly what I need, but it’s not enough!”

Matthew was well aware of how dangerous it was to harmonize Divine Fire of Retaliation.

He had to advance further on The Art of Equilibrium!

Boom!

A fiery meteor brushed past the edge of Lost Paradise and plummeted into the bottomless astral world.

Matthew once again dodged the space full of vortices.

A few seconds later,

He made a decisive decision.

…

"Prompt: Would you like to activate the third Subordinate God slot and issue a summons to mortal creatures?”
