Or it could be the final, derivative world possibility number eighteen.

Choosing other possibilities in the world is suicidal; it means giving up one's already limited advantages.

While the possibility of World Nine fits the changes, it has the backing of the Goddess of Discipline. Compared to World Eighteen, its changes are relatively stable, leading to a dead end. Its current state is not suitable for it.

Secondly, there is the possibility of the First Primordial World, which is the stronghold of the Sun God. Although he does not have the title of God-King here, he is practically in the position of one.

If Nemes chooses number one now, he's just going to his death.

Therefore, Nems' only choice was number eighteen.

If number nine is chosen, then the essence of the death of the Goddess of Discipline can be used to complete his mythological worldview: the Constant Variable Spiral System.

However, the Spiral Way of Nemus has already bestowed upon it the Constant Thread.

Therefore, through this process, Nemes finally established the prototype of his mythological worldview—the Universal Equation.

This prototype is extremely compatible with the current possibilities of World Eighteen.

Because Nemus seized the Godhood of Change, the world's capacity to bear change increased so much that powerful gods were exerting their influence in order to compete for the power of deflection.

Various phenomena emerged one after another, truly living up to the name of the Myriad Phenomena Calculation.

Once Nemes is completed, the direction of the world's evolution will fall into his hands, and the world's transformation will be in his control.

In conjunction with the path of the ancient gods, the entire world could potentially contribute to Nemus's cause.

Of course, the Universal Equation can only be considered a prototype of the mythological worldview, and Nemus does not intend to push it to a complete state.

It's best to keep it in its initial, undeveloped state.

Once a mythological worldview is established, it will, in turn, guide the possibilities of the world to race wildly in a certain direction.

Perfection, to a certain extent, equates to certainty, which may in turn limit the potential for development of the world's possibilities.

In any case, the path of the true god is not Nemus's main choice; he also has the path of the ancient gods to coordinate and mobilize the power of the world.

In addition, there's the Abyss, whose availability is uncertain...

"You actually mastered the deflection force so quickly..." The Goddess of Discipline's heart sank as she witnessed this.

Just like before, when others obtained Nemus's deflection power, they still needed to fight against its influence and subdue it in order to truly refine the deflection power.

But Nemus had just killed the Storm God and seized the deflection force a moment ago.

The next moment, it was already refined and began to form the prototype of a mythological worldview.

This nascent form, however, gave the goddess of discipline a glimmer of hope.

"The Equation of the Evolution of All Things... It seems that my mythological worldview can also be constructed..." The Goddess of Discipline opened her eyes.

Unlike Nemus, the Goddess of Discipline already possessed ten parts of the power of deflection. However, her previous understanding of the changes in the world had become inactive and rigid due to her long-term occupation of the Goddess of Change.

She has now gathered all the necessary elements.

At the same time, the strategy against Nems can be considered complete!

A figure appeared in the astral plane.

The intense demonic aura emanating from the other party startled Nemus.

Upon seeing the other person, Nemus seemed to realize something.

"So that's how it is... You're not dead!" Nemus recognized the other person upon seeing him.

“Discipline…you actually leaked even this information to him!” the demon sighed, his words filled with helplessness.

Chapter 927 The Demon of Rot

"The Demon of Rot..."

Nemus originally thought that he had read all of the memories of the Goddess of Discipline.

But unexpectedly, something surprising was discovered at that moment.

This memory is probably similar to Nemus's "external existence".

After the Goddess of Discipline and the Demon of Rot separated, the Goddess of Discipline still had this memory in her mind, but the memory itself had faded and was not particularly special. So much so that even though Nemus saw it, he naturally skipped over it.

The reason for all this is that the other party is an extremely special individual.

The Rotten Demon is a special life form that arises from the complete decay of some entity.

This means the other party is no longer a normal number.

There is no corresponding number from zero to one, or from one to any natural number.

It doesn't even qualify as one of the dilapidated numbers like the Abyss.

This is a special number that is purely negative to the extreme.

Upon meeting the other person, one can sense their presence and know their identity.

“I thought you were all dead, but you’re still alive.” Nemus looked at the other person with great interest in his eyes.

The identity of the Rotten Demon is very peculiar; it existed in the extremely distant past.

Even the Goddess of Discipline thought he was long dead before she saw him, and never expected him to be in this state.

The other party's identity is actually not 'complicated'. After all, there are 'numbers' of strong people in the world. It's impossible for a strong person to suddenly appear out of nowhere and not be recognized by others.

"But thinking about it, it makes sense. When something reaches its extreme, the power it gathers is less likely to dissipate so easily."

"The sins you committed back then were far too great." Nemus's words revealed the other party's identity—the god who had tainted the Tablets of Fate, causing them to crack.

His existence has been directly erased by fate.

By the time they got here, Nemes had already decided that he was completely dead.

After all, fate has intervened, and it will certainly not let go of the culprit who shattered the very foundation of destiny.

Logically speaking, he should have been completely wiped out, at least in the memories of the Goddess of Discipline, his original divine name and such no longer exist, she only remembers that there was such a person.

However, upon seeing the Decaying Demon, the image from the Goddess of Discipline's memories began to come alive, thus confirming the demon's identity.

"You finally crawled out of the Abyss of Imaginary Numbers and became a demon... Yes, you want to find that special piece of destiny clay." Back then, the Goddess of Discipline noticed that special piece of clay flew towards the abyss, but she couldn't be sure which world it was in.

The reason why the Goddess of Discipline was determined to attack the Abyss was because the Demon of Rot had given her the information.

What truly concerned Nemus was that this enemy was not easy to deal with; it was an absolute foe of the world.

When someone is erased by fate, all their information is wiped out, and there is no possibility of resurrection or return.

In the end, the other party may have died even more completely than the god of the earth.

But precisely because of this, the death of the other party is the last rule set by the tablet of fate.

In this situation, a bug appeared in the whole world.

That is, the other person was erased, but the sins caused by breaking the slate of fate still exist.

Nemes viewed this matter simply in terms of mathematics.

If we consider normal numbers as natural numbers, as integers, they possess rules and order, representing the normal functioning of the world.

Therefore, a broken number is a disruption of a normal number; it is a disordered number, essentially a jumble of characters.

When this garbled text appears, normal numbers cannot affect it.

Because the numbers cannot be matched, the numerical output is useless for the early broken numbers and cannot truly destroy them; it can only disturb more broken numbers.

These fragments are like phantoms, virtual existences that are impossible to touch.

In order to deal with this broken number, fate established a fundamental rule—sin.

Sin is a punitive number bestowed by fate under the rules of the world.

Fate forcibly links sin and misfortune through actions, causes, and other connections, essentially decoding them through sin.

This can cause the normal numerical output to damage the broken number.

This reveals the nature of sin, which is a negative number.

Essentially, this is to facilitate the elimination of garbled and fragmented numbers that appear as random symbols from normal numerical values.

Therefore, sin, to a certain extent, provides power to the broken number, but it also makes it easier for the broken number to be destroyed.

The predecessor of the Rotten Demon accumulated a great deal of sin by breaking the clay tablet of fate.

But the other party was directly erased by the Tablet of Fate.

This resulted in the loss of the corresponding vessel for this enormous sin.

If the Tablets of Fate were in their normal state, Fate could easily patch this bug, and the sin would naturally disappear.

But fate was powerless at that time.

In this situation, the Rotten Demon and its original location, the Abyss of Imaginary Numbers, appeared.

Imaginary numbers, according to the pure mathematical definition, are essentially "negative when squared", and have no corresponding counterpart in reality.

The Abyss of Imaginary Numbers is like this; it does not actually exist, and it contains no numerical values. It exists only to correspond to that sin.

Then, in this non-existent realm, there exists an individual who corresponds to sin.

Its essence is a kind of informational self-realization of the deity whose existence has been erased.

In terms of its existence, it does not exist in itself and has no specific numerical substance, but its cognition has the complete self of that deity.

It should have never been able to leave the Abyss of Imaginary Numbers, and could only exist in relation to that sin until the sin disappeared, at which point it would also dissipate because there was no corresponding thing.

The problem is that these naturally generated bug rules in the world are not rigorous in themselves.

Information is also 'matter'.

Even if it's just simple information, there are still minute numerical values ​​flowing within it.

From the time the Tablets of Fate shattered during the mid-stage of the Chaos of Elements, and the birth of the Abyss of Imaginary Numbers, this piece of information within the Abyss of Imaginary Numbers has been explored over hundreds of millions of years.

Under these circumstances, the rotting demon, along with the writhing of sin, managed to escape with a few pieces of information.

This information was initially linked to the precepts and involved limited cooperation.

Then, following the convergence of sins, they arrived at the abyss.

It carries a special 'imaginary number', which is extremely dangerous.

Its power may not be great, but its nature is extremely dangerous.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so simple that after observing the other party, fate would have proactively given a reminder about imaginary numbers.

Chapter 928 Bewilderment

"I never expected you to be able to stand in this position so quickly..." The Rotten Demon looked at Nemus, his eyes unconsciously revealing hatred and jealousy.

When he was reborn as a demon and climbed into the abyss, he arrived at the 181st layer of the fictional plain.

At that time, Nemus had only just become a demon lord.

But before he could gain a foothold in the abyss, news came that Nemus had usurped the Godhood of Transformation.

He did not mention to the God of Discipline that he had secretly been reborn as a demon.

That's why, after discovering that the Goddess of Discipline had lost her divine status, they immediately contacted her, found her 'Mystra' as a young girl, and discussed cooperation once again.

Before the Rotting Demon's original form plotted to seize the Destiny Mud, it had a deep connection with the God of Discipline.

Under this connection, even though trust between the two has dwindled to almost nothing now, they remain the most suitable allies.

The rotten demon struggled to emerge from the abyss of imaginary numbers, not to become a demon.

As the one who contributed the most to that battle, he lost everything.

Even in the current situation, he finds it hard to say that he is still himself.

The real me from back then has long been erased.

He is now merely a fictitious number corresponding to sin, just a 'demon,' a rotten demon marked by fate.

This clarity of self-awareness only made him more miserable.

And what about Naims?

The other party was a truly lucky person, having obtained so easily what he had once longed for.
