Thought it was a mistake, but turns out it's just indecisiveness

The driving core of the Feixing Heavenly Dao was the most advanced and overpowered among all the Heavenly Daos Chen Yi had ever seen!

To put it bluntly, aside from the enigmatic Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm, no other Heavenly Dao could compare to Feixing—not even the crippled Heavenly Dao of the Divine Realm!

Of course, this didn’t mean Feixing Heavenly Dao was so overpowered that it could trample the Divine Realm’s Heavenly Dao underfoot. Rather, it meant Feixing Heavenly Dao possessed the potential to surpass it!

The only reason it couldn’t yet contend with the established Heavenly Daos was because Feixing was still young, its foundation far too shallow before reaching maturity.

But in a way, Feixing Heavenly Dao was much like Chen Yi—both were unorthodox cultivators who refused to follow the conventional path, daring to challenge tradition!

If it couldn’t pass the Immortal Realm’s standards, then it would set its own!

Who said the Immortal Realm was always right?

Just because it had a head start of thousands or trillions of years, did that mean overtaking it was impossible?!

Holding this belief, Feixing Heavenly Dao began its unorthodox operations.

And as luck would have it, Chen Yi—this rogue unorthodox cultivator—was present as well. The two were like dry wood meeting a blazing fire, igniting instantly and diving straight into action!

First, they replicated the Heavenly Dao’s driving core, binding the fates of Feixing and Zi Wei inextricably. This laid a solid foundation for future migration and eliminated future concerns for Feixing Heavenly Dao’s unorthodox evolutionary path!

Unfortunately, Feixing Heavenly Dao was too impatient. Relying on its overpowered driving core, it attempted to push forward in real-time, ultimately leading to computational chaos, loss of reason, and descent into madness...

But no big deal!

As long as Chen Yi, the unorthodox cultivator extraordinaire, was around, Feixing Heavenly Dao wouldn’t be able to cause any real trouble!

"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back. Only when you realize the abyss is gazing at you can you break free from its shackles..."

Chen Yi murmured softly, strands of Dao resonance transforming into runes of order that seeped into Feixing Heavenly Dao’s chaotic celestial core, restoring its sanity.

Moments later.

The myriad anomalies in the sky gradually dissipated.

Feixing Heavenly Dao’s twisted and disordered celestial core stabilized, finally condensing into a crimson kitten that landed gently before Chen Yi.

"Heavenly Master... I’m sorry..."

The Feixing kitten hung its head, timid and hesitant.

Chen Yi regarded it calmly. "The evolutionary path couldn’t be pushed beyond the Tribulation Transcendence stage?"

The kitten shook its head. "It’s not that it couldn’t be pushed further. It’s that I’ve derived too many paths, and I can’t tell which one is better. Each differs, some true, some false, their strengths and weaknesses unclear, all tangled together... I just can’t distinguish them..."

Chen Yi: "..."

So it wasn’t a mental breakdown from a mishap—just indecision?

Classic Feixing!

Impressive!

"Then tell me, how many feasible evolutionary paths have you derived in total?"

The kitten paused before answering slowly, "Theoretically viable ones—nine. Those with minor theoretical flaws—thirty-six. And three more still in design."

"Hiss—"

Feixing, you’re something else!

Chen Yi couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath. After a moment of contemplation, he asked again, "What are the pros and cons of these nine viable paths? Why are they so hard to choose between?"

At this, the kitten’s eyes lit up with enthusiasm.

Without another word, it waved a tiny paw, and nine dazzling anomalies materialized.

"Heavenly Master, look! This is the first evolutionary path I derived. Theoretically, it can currently reach the Ninth-Level Lifeform stage, with combat power exceeding traditional Tribulation Transcendence beings by 2.5 times. Whether it can rival Pseudo-Immortals is uncertain, but the Ninth-Level Lifeform is just the beginning..."

As the kitten explained, the first evolutionary path’s core unfolded in detail alongside the anomaly.

This unorthodox evolutionary system was called the Entropic Spirit Reverse Metamorphosis Path. Its core concept was reversing the universe’s law of entropy increase, using localized entropy reduction to achieve reverse ascension in life hierarchy!

From initially sensing environmental entropy flow and thermal equilibrium, to mid-stage creation of orderly nodes within the body to resist chaos and condense negative entropy, all the way to finally transforming into a low-entropy crystalline state—transcending time’s erosion and attaining immortality!

Chen Yi’s gaze deepened as he scrutinized the anomaly’s intricate details, finding nothing but two words written all over it—absurd!

What was Feixing Heavenly Dao trying to do?

Mass-produce the absolute forbidden beings recorded in the Creation Disk’s database—the Reverse Rule Aberrations?

Though this system remained theoretical, not yet proven viable in reality, the mere fact that it was theoretically feasible meant this Entropic Spirit Reverse Metamorphosis Path could work!

And this was just one of the evolutionary paths Feixing had derived. There were eight more just as absurd, none inferior to this one—otherwise, why would Feixing Heavenly Dao suffer from indecision?

"Heavenly Master, the advantage of this Entropic Spirit Reverse Metamorphosis Path is its high baseline and theoretically limitless ceiling. The downside is its excessively harsh evolutionary conditions—perhaps only a handful among billions could even begin..."

"To mitigate this flaw, I derived a second evolutionary path. Behold!"

The kitten’s eyes burned with passion as it introduced its achievements, waving its tiny paw once more to summon another anomaly...
