Chapter 6: Unleash your imagination, the advent of the devil
In his understanding, a truly powerful cultivation system should be like that of the World, where all great power and breakthroughs are attributed to oneself.
How could it be that in one World, proper human cultivation actually requires sacrificing other creatures to overcome limitations?
Isn't this a blatant 'man-eating' – oh no, 'beast-eating' cultivation mode?
Compared to the Human Spirit Master side, the system of Spirit Beast breakthroughs experiencing heavenly tribulations was more in line with Tang Wulin's concept of a legitimate cultivation system.
Cultivation only required absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and breaking through bottlenecks only required successfully passing the heavenly tribulation.
However, to Tang Wulin's great surprise, the historical records of this continent seemed to contain no trace of Spirit Beast Divinities, aside from the Shrek Seven Devils of the human race and the Angel God and Rakshasa God of the Spirit Hall.
Of course, Soft Bone Douluo Xiao Wu was not among them; in the eyes of Tang Wulin, a novelist, no matter how flowery the descriptions in the history books were—things like 'dual Divinity in one body,' 'human and beast as one,'—
Ultimately, if Xiao Wu did not possess her own God Position, she was essentially just an appendage to Tang San's God Position.
"But, I remember Xiao Wu ultimately didn't achieve God Position as a pure Spirit Beast, but rather through what was called Spirit Beast Human Transformation?"
"Could it be that the heavenly tribulation is too powerful, or the Spirit Beast itself is too weak?"
"Hmm… it seems the Spirit Beast cultivation system also has some limitations."
As Tang Wulin's thoughts surged, the Fantasy Omnipotent Book slowly opened.
"A new story is born! Fantasy—Fantasy—Fantasy—Almighty!"
A high-pitched, impassioned song suddenly resounded.
Moments later, Tang Wulin's initial excitement gradually transitioned to a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, until he finally closed the Fantasy Omnipotent Book with a helpless expression.
How to describe it?
After his recent exploration and attempts…
He discovered that the main body of the Fantasy Omnipotent Book in his consciousness was indeed genuine.
But his Fantasy Omnipotent Book, having been reborn with his soul, or rather, his consciousness, had lost its physical form and transformed into a mental energy-like existence.
Of course, if explained using this World's cultivation system, it could perhaps be described as having become something similar to his own Spirit, or rather, a Tool Spirit.
And it is well known that Spirit Masters in this World can only truly summon the powerful force of their own Spirit when they reach the Seven-Ring stage and possess their own Spirit True Body, which is what other Worlds refer to as "Small Accomplishment of Saint Body."
Therefore, according to his calculations, if he wanted to fully unleash the power of the Fantastic Almighty Book, he would have to wait until he reached the Seven-Ring stage and possessed the ability of a Spirit True Body.
Only then would he potentially be able to successfully summon the true body of the Fantastic Almighty Book.
Even due to the special status of the Fantastic Almighty Book, he could not be certain if he would truly be able to summon it even after reaching the Seven-Ring stage.
Perhaps only when he successfully breaks through to the so-called Hundred-Level Divinity will he be able to smoothly summon the main body of the Fantastic Almighty Book, it is unknown.
Before that, he could only utilize a portion of the Fantastic Almighty Book's power, within the scope allowed by his own strength, which was the Fantastic Driver Book transformed from its pages.
And this was also the source of his second Spirit; the storybook he mentioned was in fact just a page from the Fantasy Omnipotent Book.
But the most crucial point was this:
His Fantasy Omnipotent Book was a blank book, with no stories filled within it!
So, his current second Spirit was equivalent to a blank slate!
Just like the lyrics that came when he opened the book.
A new story was born, and this brand new story began the moment he opened the pages.
So…
This also meant that his dream of directly inheriting Teacher Touma's max-level account from scratch… was shattered.
Driver Books like the Courage Dragon, Dragon Knight, Ancient Dragon, Elemental Dragon, which he had heard of, were all non-existent!
At this moment, his Fantastic Almighty Book had evolved into a brand new account, as new as could be!
In short, his Fantastic Almighty Book currently possessed the power of omniscience and omnipotence, enough to rival God.
But for various reasons, his book had become a new account.
Even because he couldn't summon the main body of the Fantastic Almighty Book, the omniscience and omnipotence he currently displayed could only rely on his current strength and belief.
Of course, according to his deduction, only when he reached the Seven-Ring stage with his Spirit True Body, and even after reaching the Hundred-Level, might he truly be able to control the main body of the Fantastic Almighty Book.
But returning to reality, given his current strength, it meant that he could only exert the power of omniscience and omnipotence corresponding to a three-level spirit power.
And the omniscience and omnipotence displayed by a three-level spirit power…
One could only say that even dogs would shake their heads and sigh upon seeing it!
However, what gave Tang Wulin some comfort was that even though he could only exert the power of omniscience and omnipotence matching a level 3 strength, it was still of the omniscient and omnipotent specification.
Therefore, he could, like Touma in the TV show, or even Arkh from the adjacent Ultraman series, use his imagination to manually write content.
And the Fantastic Almighty Book would present the content he wrote, one by one, into reality, thereby transforming it into his source of power.
After all, the Fantasy Omnipotent Book not only contained the power of omniscience and omnipotence, but also possessed the magical ability to turn everything written into reality, like a creator Divinity.
Because abilities like fantasy materialization, wish fulfillment, and reality distortion, which are considered BUG-level, are also a manifestation of omnipotent power.
But what was frustrating was that due to his current strength and belief being too weak.
Therefore, at this moment, he simply couldn't fully unleash the true power of omnipotence.
For example, he just tried to use his imagination to directly write the story of Oma Zi-O.
After all, although he hadn't had enough time to watch the saint blade TV show, he had dabbled in Zi-O, who was well-known in the tokusatsu field.
Naturally, the story he wrote this time was about Oma Zi-O and Zi-O Oma, not the Grand Zi-O who was repeatedly frustrated in the TV show.
Because in his opinion, the power of time and the power of Oma were BUG-level existences in any World.
So even though he wasn't clear how strong the strongest combat power in this World truly was.
But he was absolutely confident that he, who wielded the Oma Advent Record, was no less inferior to anyone.
But… his idea was beautiful, yet his Fantastic Almighty Book showed no reaction to the "Oma Advent Record" he had written.
Let alone controlling the power of time, not even a blank watch dial dropped for him!
This showed that he was still too weak at this moment.
With only three levels of strength, his attempt to create and even control the power of Oma Zi-O by relying on his own omnipotent power was truly a pipe dream.
Of course, he had previously thought that the Oma power of Oma Zi-O could only be used by Sougo, and others had no chance with it.
So he still tried writing other stories as an exploration.
Because as a novelist, he knew very well how small and powerless the future of ordinary people would be in a World with such an extraordinary system.
Not to mention aspects like treatment and salary, even basic life safety might not be genuinely guaranteed.
After all, he had heard many stories of ordinary people dying in the aftermath of battles between passing powerhouses.
And this was considered a relatively lucky ending; if their luck was bad, they might encounter terrifying existences such as demon lords who would stop at nothing for eternal life, treating mortals as ants and intentionally devouring the World's essence.
Or even those dark supreme beings who would lie dormant for millions of years to become immortals, devouring the vital energy and blood of cosmic beings each time they emerged….

Chapter 7: Fantasy Manifestation, Almighty Power
That was the most despair-inducing situation!
Whenever the thought of his family potentially perishing in the aftermath of a fierce battle between high-level Spirit Masters, or becoming blood sacrifices for some heinous dark blade, surged into his mind, Tang Wulin would feel a strong surge of indignation!
He would never allow such a thing to happen!
Thus, he unhesitatingly unfurled the Fantastic Almighty Book and, with a single stroke, inscribed upon it the most powerful entities from the special effects Domain, such as "Chronicles of Superheroes," "Ultraman Noa," "Armored Hero Emperor," and many others.
However, the result was self-evident: it was completely ineffective.
This was because his own strength was too weak; although he meticulously wrote these stories, the Fantastic Almighty Book simply could not manifest the powerful forces contained within them into reality.
Or perhaps, even if it could, his current frail body would be utterly incapable of wielding the power bestowed by these stories.
This made Tang Wulin feel incredibly helpless and frustrated; he was completely numb.
He thought with deep regret, if he had known it would turn out this way, he should have directly ordered Teacher Tuoma's "Chronicles of Superheroes"!
At least that way, even if his foundational strength was lacking, he could still transform and gain some combat power by relying on the story of a certain knight or team member within it.
Unlike now, the Fantastic Almighty Book possessed that eye-catching, omniscient and omnipotent supreme status, yet due to his own abysmal strength, he was utterly unable to unleash the powerful forces it should inherently possess.
However, after a brief period of complaining, Tang Wulin did not fall into excessive panic.
After all, although he was currently unable to transform stories into powerful forces, this did not mean he would be unable to do so in the future!
Moreover, at present, while the Fantastic Almighty Book lacked immediately usable combat power like "Chronicles of Superheroes," its unique omniscient and omnipotent status undoubtedly hinted at its far greater potential!
"That's right, the ending of the story is decided by me!"
"As long as I become strong myself, then I can truly manifest countless stories! Thus achieving true omniscience and omnipotence!"
"After all, in this World, I don't have any copyright restrictions! As long as I use my imagination, I can write whatever I want!"
"Any story can become my power!"
Tang Wulin murmured softly, full of confidence.
Indeed, although his Fantastic Almighty Book was currently just a blank slate, its authenticity was beyond doubt.
Therefore, regarding the specific content of future stories, he could create them as he pleased.
Subsequently, in an instant, he slowly closed his eyes, recalling the sudden dragon roars that emanated from his spiritual space when he first awakened his Spirit.
If he were just an ignorant child, he might genuinely subconsciously cast it aside.
But he was an experienced novelist, well-versed in story settings where other mysterious entities resided within the body.
Such as a passionate young man who once declared, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river," or those thrilling stories of soul possession and rebirth.
Therefore, for his own safety, he absolutely had to thoroughly investigate what was going on with his body!
After a brief observation, Tang Wulin, who currently possessed only level 3 spirit power, decisively abandoned the traditional Spirit Master meditation method.
Instead, he picked up his cheat-like Fantastic Almighty Book and conducted a comprehensive, meticulous, and all-encompassing examination of himself.
"Although this is just an underdeveloped version of the power of omniscience and omnipotence, it should be no problem to use its omniscient characteristic to investigate the condition inside my body, right?"
With this thought, the Fantastic Almighty Book, which was originally blank in his hand, indeed slowly revealed new text and patterns.
A faint blue Blue Silver Grass pattern gradually appeared on the book page, followed by clear basic information about the Blue Silver Grass noted below it.
"This is my Spirit?"
Tang Wulin gazed at this scene, muttering to himself.
Just then, before he could examine it more closely, the page automatically slowly turned.
Then, on the next page, an ancient and mysterious small hammer gradually emerged, and the basic information about the small hammer immediately followed, coming into view.
Witnessing this, Tang Wulin became even more astonished, because he was all too familiar with this hammer.
After all, its glorious battle achievements had been extolled countless times, whether in historical records or on Spirit-guided television.
"Clear Sky Hammer?"
"Whoosh!"
Before he could recover from his surprise, the page automatically turned again, and then an extremely cute rabbit image leaped onto the paper.
"Hmm, Soft Bones Rabbit?"
Tang Wulin, seeing the third page, couldn't help but feel a bit confused, as in his original understanding, his Spirit was merely Blue Silver Grass.
So why, within his body, were the Clear Sky Hammer and Soft Bones Rabbit also hidden?
"Is it because of the Fantastic Almighty Book that the power of my other two Spirits was completely suppressed?"
"Could it be that I am truly a genius Spirit Master?"
"But that's not right, my Spirit is Blue Silver Grass, not Blue Silver Emperor, so logically it shouldn't be as powerful as the Clear Sky Hammer and Soft Bones Rabbit."
"Then why did the Blue Silver Grass awaken first, while the Clear Sky Hammer and Soft Bones Rabbit did not awaken and manifest?"
"Moreover, if I truly have twin spirits, or even triple Spirits, then I shouldn't only have innate level 3 spirit power."
"After all, it's not possible that one of my Spirits is only worth one level of spirit power, right?"
Recalling the scenes of his Spirit awakening, Tang Wulin involuntarily fell into deep thought.
But soon, by connecting some cases and textbook knowledge he had known, he roughly understood the important factor that the World followed in normal Spirit inheritance—bloodline.
Because, generally speaking, the Spirit awakened by a six-year-old child often originated from their parents or other blood relatives like elders.
Therefore, his Spirit was indeed Blue Silver Grass, but this also meant that perhaps someone in his ancestry had successfully awakened the Clear Sky Hammer and Soft Bones Rabbit.
However, perhaps due to his own extremely low spirit power, or insufficient bloodline inheritance of the Clear Sky Hammer and Soft Bones Rabbit, or some other unknown secret reasons.
Ultimately, these two powerful Spirits failed to awaken.
Instead, the Blue Silver Grass awakened successfully.
But now, due to the miraculous power of the Fantastic Almighty Book, the other two Spirits within him that had not awakened were also keenly detected by its omniscient power.
After all, although his current Fantastic Almighty Book found it difficult to fully unleash its omniscient and omnipotent power due to his own weakness.
The Clear Sky Hammer and Soft Bones Rabbit were inherently Spirits passed down to him by his ancestors.
Therefore, merely detecting and activating the abilities he possessed was naturally an easy task for the Fantastic Almighty Book.
And just as Tang Wulin was racking his brain on how to properly handle the three Spirits: Blue Silver Grass, Clear Sky Hammer, and Soft Bones Rabbit.
He suddenly noticed that the page after the Soft Bones Rabbit page was emitting a mysterious and brilliant golden light, and at the same time, a low and mysterious roar faintly emanated from it.
Seeing this, Tang Wulin did not hesitate at all and decisively opened it.
"I suppose you are the source of that dragon roar within my body!"
As the page slowly unfolded, in the next second, his consciousness was instantly drawn into the marvelous story on this page.
At the same time, Tang Wulin's body outside began to twist violently on the bed uncontrollably.
His entire skin showed a slight redness, and if Tang Ziran and his wife were nearby at this moment, they would be startled to find his body temperature rapidly rising at an alarming rate.
Gradually, his flushed skin began to become translucent, and the veins beneath his skin were faintly visible.
Faintly, one could even clearly see blood flowing within them; at this time, his blood circulation speed was at least three times that of his normal state.
A mysterious golden pattern even bizarrely appeared on his forehead.
And within the Fantastic World, Tang Wulin's figure slowly appeared in a vast, boundless grassland covered with Blue Silver Grass.
But before he could carefully examine everything around him.
A deafening dragon roar and a sharp sound of tearing air suddenly came from the sky, as if a colossal object was rapidly descending from the heavens

Chapter 8 Ancient Dragon
"Roar!"
The next second, a majestic and extremely powerful golden Ancient Dragon opened its blood-red mouth and pounced directly towards him.
Immediately after, he was mercilessly swallowed into that boundless golden World, only to be violently ejected once more.
Gazing at the magnificent golden Ancient Dragon on the page in his hand, Tang Wulin fell into a slight silence.
This was because when he was swallowed by the Ancient Dragon, he could clearly perceive that the Ancient Dragon was enveloped in a terrifying, bone-chilling pressure and a tyrannical aura like surging waves.
Compared to the strongest person he knew—Uncle Master Mang Tian, a Spirit Ancestor—this Ancient Dragon seemed to possess the astonishing power to easily swallow ten thousand Spirit Ancestor Master Mang Tians in an instant…
And this power, filled with hatred for the heavens and earth, extremely tyrannical, and containing an aura of World-destroying might…
All of it indicated the extraordinary nature of this Ancient Dragon.
And at this very moment, as if sensing the layers of doubt deep within Tang Wulin's heart.
The Fantastic Almighty Book swiftly unleashed its omniscient and omnipotent power, automatically presenting the detailed story of this Ancient Dragon.
"A powerful Ancient Dragon from ancient times, for unknown reasons, lost its physical body and finally transformed into a Bloodline power, residing in a young boy named Tang Wulin."
"And now, due to Tang Wulin's Spirit awakening, this Bloodline from the Ancient Dragon has also begun to display its true power within him!"
"But any powerful force comes with a price, and the price of this Dragon power is that every time he cultivates his body, he will experience it."
Witnessing this information, Tang Wulin's brows furrowed slightly, and then he let out a soft sigh.
"Just this much information, it feels like I've read it and haven't read it at all. This is my own body, after all!"
"It seems that due to my strength, my Fantastic Almighty Book is currently only half-understood."
"However, what I can ascertain is that this Dragon should not be Toma's Ancient Dragon Fantastic Book."
"After all, judging from the Dragon's origin, it should undoubtedly be a native Dragon of this World."
"Moreover, as far as I know, the Ancient Dragon that Teacher Toma transformed into seemed to be a white Bone Dragon."
"Looking at it this way, my Fantastic Almighty Book is indeed not the same as the saint blade's Fantastic Almighty Book."
"Never mind, if it's not the same, then it's not. However, judging from this Dragon's story, it must have existed for a very long time, at least longer than the Three Gods War two hundred thousand years ago."
"Furthermore, if it transformed into a Bloodline and resides within me, then this Dragon should have been inherited from my elders."
Tang Wulin, leveraging his meticulous thoughts as a novelist, continued to deduce without interruption.
"First, I should rule out Father and Mother, as they are both ordinary people with meager spirit power, and their Spirits also lack any Dragon attributes."
"Therefore… it should be an atavistic phenomenon in my Bloodline, perhaps an ancestor with Dragon attributes? Or was it intentionally preserved by my ancestors for their Bloodline descendants, only to awaken in my generation?"
"But is the price of this Bloodline a bit too harsh? Was this truly passed down to me by my elders?"
"If I didn't have the Fantastic Almighty Book, just looking at this power, there's no way it could be suppressed by mere Blue Silver Grass!"
Amidst his swirling thoughts, Tang Wulin finally couldn't help but pour out his complaints. Then he slowly closed the book and sat quietly on the bed, his mind filled with countless
