I Take Life Seriously Chapter 105: The Growth of Evil (Part 1)

The Five-Dimensional Spatial Thought Model, having just discerned You Yan’s intent, immediately warned Zhang Mingjing, “This guy is about to cause massive destruction! When that happens, not only will Zhang Yidao’s Bagua Formation be instantly shattered, but Zhang Yidao himself will be severely injured. Moreover, all of you will suffer major setbacks, and the tide of battle could turn against you.”

Upon learning this potential outcome, Zhang Mingjing was both horrified and enraged. He shouted, “How can we take this guy down?”

At that moment, the Temporal-Spatial Monster Code inside You Yan observed his actions and regained confidence in him. It poured all its effort into helping him redirect every attack, allowing him to focus entirely on energy accumulation. In about a minute, the energy would concentrate into a point no larger than a soybean, and then...

The Five-Dimensional Spatial Thought Model had already devised a countermeasure. It said to Zhang Mingjing, “Gather all the energy from your battle armor and the Bagua Formation around You Yan, creating a high-energy protective shield to encase him. Even if the explosion he unleashes manages to break through this shield, the backlash will harm him as well. In that instant, both he and the Temporal-Spatial Monster Code inside him will lose their willpower for several seconds. After that, you know what to do, right?”

“Understood!”

No sooner had Zhang Mingjing finished speaking than he ordered Catherine, Jamie Lee, and the Second Pet to release the energy stored in their battle armor, while also instructing Zhang Yidao’s Bagua Formation to discharge its energy. After releasing all this energy, it was concentrated around You Yan and, with the help of the Five-Dimensional Spatial Thought Model, was woven into an ultra-high-energy protective shield.

You Yan sneered at Zhang Mingjing’s tactic, but the Temporal-Spatial Monster Code inside him, analyzing past combat data from other such codes, immediately calculated that if You Yan used his ultimate move at this moment, the resulting fierce explosion would backfire on both him and the code. The code would lose its willpower for several seconds, during which it could not use teleportation techniques, inevitably leading to their destruction by the three satellites overhead firing high-energy lasers.

Thus, the Temporal-Spatial Monster Code attempted to call off You Yan in the final seconds, but You Yan, emotionally charged and resolute to strike, ignored it. In the end, to protect itself, the code began sabotaging him.

You Yan’s energy accumulation abruptly ceased. Both Zhang Mingjing and the Five-Dimensional Spatial Thought Model detected this immediately. Zhang Mingjing promptly instructed his team to retract all energy back into their battle armor.

In that instant, Zhang Mingjing guessed what had happened, and the Thought Model did too.

At the very first moment, they exchanged a silent understanding and waited quietly for the outcome.

Almost simultaneously, Catherine and Jamie Lee exclaimed in surprise, “What on earth is going on?”

Zhang Yidao then asked, “What’s happening here?”

Zhang Mingjing explained, “The Temporal-Spatial Monster Code inside You Yan is sabotaging him.”

“So... the final trick is being played out!” Jamie Lee murmured, a chill running down her spine.

Catherine and Zhang Yidao also felt a terrifying, ominous shadow enveloping them.

Zhang Yidao sighed, “According to our Daoist realm’s teachings, You Yan is possessed by a demon. He should be exorcised.”

At this moment, You Yan sat calmly in the center of the Bagua Formation, hands folded over his dantian, his expression serene. To the untrained eye, he might appear to be meditating in midair, completely concealing the fierce internal battle raging between his will and the Temporal-Spatial Monster Code.

Two minutes later, Zhang Mingjing couldn’t hold back and asked the Five-Dimensional Spatial Thought Model, “What now? Should we keep waiting?”

“Yes, keep waiting.”

“Why not attack now?”

“You know the Temporal-Spatial Monster Code is currently using teleportation techniques, so any energy attacks will be ineffective.”

“Then stab him with a lightsaber!”

“Hmm... I believe You Yan must have realized the true nature of the Temporal-Spatial Monster Code by now, so he will fight desperately. In another two minutes, we’ll see the result. Let’s be patient. Besides, I have already divined their fortune—it shows a sign of dragons battling in the wild, blood colored yellow and black. Observing is our best strategy.”

“Damn! You actually used divination for battle planning...”

At that moment, Catherine and Jamie Lee also asked what to do next, and Zhang Mingjing told them to wait.

Sure enough, in less than two minutes, the outcome revealed itself. You Yan evidently did not let the Temporal-Spatial Monster Code win. At the last moment, he ignited the energy within his body, creating a blaze of true fire that incinerated both himself and the code.

During the incineration, it seemed that You Yan let out a hearty, liberating laugh, while the code emitted a helpless roar.

Zhang Mingjing sent a surge of energy to envelop the burning You Yan. In less than three minutes, You Yan and the Temporal-Spatial Monster Code within him were reduced to ashes inside the energy shield.

Afterward, Zhang Mingjing instructed Zhang Yidao to find a nearby feng shui spot to bury You Yan’s ashes.

...

“You played out this war’s tactics with such loyalty and honor—I truly admire you!” the Five-Dimensional Spatial Thought Model praised Zhang Mingjing’s actions.

“You even rely on divination to craft your battle plans—I admire you even more!”

They shared a knowing smile.

The Thought Model then joked, “Hey! The ones who got hurt the worst in this battle weren’t Zhang Yidao or Xiao Nuxia, but Yuhua and Chengxian. They were beaten so badly by You Yan that... they actually lost control of their bladder. It’s heartbreaking! They’re feeling pretty down and need some time to recover their spirits.”

“Hey! Show some sympathy, will you? Stop bringing that up.”

“I’m just joking. Why so serious?”

“Hmm! Actually, I did notice one big flaw in you.”

“Oh? What big flaw?”

“You’re unworldly, unfamiliar with human warmth, so people often find you cold.”

“Come on, I’m a Five-Dimensional Spatial Thought Model! How could I possibly partake in the mundane affairs of three-dimensional beings? Isn’t that obvious?” the Thought Model laughed, then after a moment’s thought said, “As for coldness... maybe it’s because I lost my projection source!”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingjing suddenly recalled a question he had long pondered and asked, “By the way, I’ve always wanted to ask—what exactly is the projection source?”

“The heart! Didn’t I tell you before?”

In fact, the Five-Dimensional Spatial Thought Model had told Zhang Mingjing this before, but Zhang’s consciousness was sealed against exploration beyond four-dimensional space. This seal functioned like a powerful program constraint, forcing him to forget the answer the Thought Model had once given.

Hearing this, Zhang Mingjing suddenly felt overwhelmed, unable to think further, as if activating that very seal made him uncomfortable, unwilling to delve deeper into this profound mystery.

He then grumbled, “Forget it! Let’s not talk about this anymore. Such deep philosophy just makes me damn uncomfortable.”

“You’re uncomfortable again?!”

The Five-Dimensional Spatial Thought Model had recently noticed that once conversations with Zhang Mingjing touched on profound philosophical matters, the dialogue usually either ended abruptly or the topic had to be changed. This was very unlike the curious Zhang Mingjing it had first known.

It didn’t yet understand the cause but knew that only when Zhang Mingjing achieved a breakthrough in thought would he gain access to higher-dimensional information and perhaps help it return to five-dimensional space. Thus, it constantly worried about Zhang’s cultivation bottleneck.

Yet it could do nothing but worry. Even though it sensed something suspicious and knew the culprit, it was powerless because the bottleneck was imposed by the elders of five-dimensional space themselves. What could it do?

That said, some of these elders, even upon seeing Zhang Mingjing’s consciousness dimension sealed, did not feel entirely at ease.

Especially Elder A, who had an inexplicable strong conviction that choosing Zhang Mingjing was a colossal mistake. He secretly vowed to persuade the other elders to erase both Zhang Mingjing and the Five-Dimensional Spatial Thought Model after decoding the sun.

He began stirring up trouble and sowing anxiety again.

He said, “You’ve all read it—the Five-Dimensional Spatial Thought Model is still thinking about returning to five-dimensional space.”

“So what?” an elder replied casually.

“So what? This shows it hasn’t given up on causing trouble back in five-dimensional space! If this oddity finds its projection source or returns by some other means, and rebuilds memory connections, wouldn’t it wreak havoc on our order here?”

Another elder laughed, “Come on, you’re overanxious. You make it sound terrifying, but finding the projection source isn’t easy. Even the Celestial Machine System can’t find it freely. So it wants to return to five-dimensional space? Ha! I don’t think it will get past the gate. And as for other methods, I think there aren’t any.”

At this point, an elder sharing Elder A’s stance said, “Don’t forget, there have been rare cases throughout history where thought models found their projection sources and were reborn as humans. Though exceedingly rare, when it happens, it reportedly brings earth-shattering changes to our five-dimensional space. Then, what we’ve maintained here may collapse.”

“Those are just ancient legends! It’s not so easy to be reborn. Besides, even if it did find the projection source and was reborn in a shocking fashion, it would have sensed higher-dimensional information. I believe then it wouldn’t linger in five-dimensional space. It would have long since moved on to higher dimensions, so why cause trouble here?”

“What if it messes things up here first before leaving? What then?”

The elders began to debate fiercely again...

Until one elder finally said, “Enough! Look at us now—not like beings who perceive truth in five-dimensional space, but like low-dimensional creatures lost in wild speculation, worrying over uncertain futures. It’s so unbecoming!”

Hearing this, the elders gradually calmed.

After a moment, another elder earnestly advised, “We should avoid reckless speculation here. If we can’t foresee the future clearly, let’s just wait. Avoid pointless arguments that damage harmony—that’s a minor problem. The real issue is that anxiety leads us to delusion and conflict. These are the roots of negative rotational energy.”

After he spoke, another elder agreed, “Exactly! Too much negative rotational energy weakens our own positive rotational energy. Increasing negative energy in this space isn’t good for any of us!”

Except for Elder A, the rest of the elders ceased their disputes.
