LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 582 Hell
"." Chen Ze grinned wordlessly, leaned down and picked up the ax transformed by the power of law, looking back and forth as if he had found his favorite toy.
"Old man."
Chen Ze raised his head slightly, stared at the other person and said,
"Why be so impatient."
"Why don't you listen to what I have to say first?"
"What do you want to say?" The old man responded calmly and threw the sharp weapon over.
Chen Ze didn't answer it anymore, he just played with the ax in his hand boredly.
"I'm new here."
He suddenly threw the ax high into the air,
"Old man, why don't you teach me first, what exactly is this place?"
"Here." The old man seemed to be thinking as he looked at the ax falling in mid-air.
"of course"
Clang.
The ax fell heavily to the ground, but the old man's expression suddenly changed.
"hell."
Chen Ze, who suddenly appeared in the old man's ear, answered in a deep voice.
Although Chen Ze always respects the old and loves the young, it is obviously not feasible to rely on the old and act like one in front of him.
dong dong dong dong!
After a heavy punch, the old man who was pinned to the ground had less air coming in and more air coming out.
However, this naturally does not have much impact on the old man who is inhuman in nature, but other than that, Chen Ze's divinity erosion is no joke.
"Divinity." The old man with half of his skull collapsed said with difficulty,
"Who are you?"
"I'm asking you now." Chen Ze stabbed the Huang Zhijian with his backhand, causing the old man's essence of existence to pass quickly.
"What is this doing?"
He pointed to the scale, which was trembling with the constant weight of the pallet.
"We are restarting here." The old man replied slowly, but he still sighed at the end.
"What a pity."
Even when faced with an existential crisis, the old man still maintained an indifferent attitude.
This forced Chen Ze to be more serious and absorb part of the old man's divine essence.
As a result, I got some surprising results after swallowing it.
Through the analysis of the old man's divine nature, Chen Ze unexpectedly discovered that this was an acquaintance!
To be precise, they are acquaintances who have never met before.
But at this time, when the old man saw that Chen Ze was silent, he thought he had figured it out, so he persuaded him earnestly,
"You'd better commit suicide."
"You can't escape from here."
But before he finished speaking, a breath quietly leaked from Chen Ze's body made the old man change his color again.
The violent shock caused him to involuntarily twist his skull, causing his entire head to almost shrink into a big ball, so he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Neili, Lili"
It was Chen Ze who helped to straighten his head.
"Is this what it is?" The old man had not yet recovered.
"Yes." Chen Ze released the auras of the eight dragons hidden deep in his divinity,
"You're not wrong."
"Brother?" The old man stared blankly, as if he was tracing some extremely long past events.
"That, I am"
"Of course you are also one of the Dragon Sons." The helpful Chen Ze answered for him again,
"The name the real dragon gave you is"
The old man's eyes suddenly widened, and he and Chen Ze spit out the answer in unison,
".狴犴."
"I'm stupid, really."
Bi Fan raised its dejected head and continued,
"I just knew that those bald monks would deceive the dragon, trick my brother into going to the camel monument, and capture him to carry the incense burner; I didn't know that the Buddha would do a better job than them."
"When Tianwaitian was built, I made an appointment with Chaofeng to sneak in when the entrance opened."
"In the end, that kid didn't know what kind of benefits he got. When the time came, he suddenly quit and wanted to stay in this world. Before I could ask, his pair of divine wings opened and disappeared without a trace."
"But the time is coming, so I have to squat near the entrance first, trying to find Fu Xi."
"Once the Heaven and Earth is built, it will be eaten by the heaven and the earth sooner or later if it remains in this world. Even if it is a lazy creature, it will have to move."
"I know it very well. I will probably come here early to find a place to blend in to hide it from others."
"And according to the temperament of this lazy creature, he will definitely not want to move if he stays in one place, so it won't be difficult to find him."
"It's a pity that when I got there, I was intercepted by Buddha Sakyamuni. He told me that I was destined to be with him. Anyway, when I woke up, he would already be here."
"The Bodhisattvas told me that this place is already heaven beyond heaven. Buddha moved the entire hell into it."
"Now that things have come to this, I can only accept their arrangement and watch the gate here."
"Originally, I thought it was a bit too much, but at least it can be considered as entering the outer world, and you don't have to worry about it every day in this world."
Biwan was chattering a lot, but Chen Ze saw that the balance tray over there seemed to be filled, so he got straight to the point,
"So Buddha used this hell as a testing ground?"
Bi Fan nodded.
"What's the test?" Chen Ze asked again.
"This" Bi'an was embarrassed to sell out.
"It's a long story."
"Then let's make a long story short." Chen Ze replied.
So Bi'an had no choice but to hold back his complaints against the Buddhas and asked instead,
"Since you have cultivated your divinity, do you know how to strengthen your divinity and what are its roots?"
"The power of faith." Chen Ze replied succinctly.
The power of faith is the basis for the growth of divinity. This is not a secret among high-level cultivators.
"Then do you know the nature of the power of faith?" Biwan asked again.
This time Chen Ze thought about it seriously and shook his head.
Although Wang Lingguan and other seniors have mentioned some of them, most of them are unclear. They only know what they are but don't know why.
"Alas" Bi An sighed again, which surprised Chen Ze.
According to legend, the dragon-like creature has the head of a dragon and the shape of a tiger. He is prone to litigation and has always been a majestic image of being eager for justice and being resolute and resolute.
You must know that the dragon children have come true from illusion, so their characters should be consistent with the legend.
As a result, the dragon in front of him was extremely depressed.
"Most people really don't know, but they are like Buddha." Biwan became angry when he mentioned this name.
"When you reach the level of Buddha, there are no secrets in the world."
"The so-called divinity and the so-called power of faith are actually the flow of soul power."
"Soul?" Chen Ze repeated.
"In other words, the soul, the alaya consciousness, the soul, the spirit, the astral body, the consciousness. In short, it's this kind of thing."
Bi Fan gave an example,
"Every plant and tree has a spirit, and every living thing has a soul. It's just that there are more or less souls, and the potential is different."
“For example, plants, trees, vegetables and fruits are insignificant and almost equal to dead things.”
"The potentials of the Mao, Jie, Lin, Yu, and Luo people above are also different. Either the right time and the right place, or they can be inspired by others to transform into monsters." "And humans are the only favored ones in the world. As a group, everyone is born with unlimited potential.”
"So as long as the environment is suitable, human beings can become stronger through practice."
"There is no need to mention the cultivation process from mortal to immortal."
Bi'an sounded like a child playing house.
"I think you have already passed that hurdle, fellow Taoist."
"When we reach the level of you and me, only divinity is left to continue to grow."
Bi Yan finally reached the key point,
"In the past, the gods just copied the gourd and drew the scoop, and then collected the power of faith to refine their divinity."
"But since the decline of heaven and earth, the top group of strong men have been forced into a hurry, and they have cracked the mystery."
"The so-called power of faith is essentially absorbing the soul power of mortals!"
Although this answer was unexpected for Chen Ze, it was still reasonable.
Just because he had long suspected that how could faith alone create something out of nothing and increase divinity?
Therefore, Chen Ze has always insisted on not allowing the family and friends he values around him to establish this kind of faith connection with himself.
“The power gained in each interaction through the connections established actually comes from the audience themselves.”
Bi An sighed again and said,
"It's just that this kind of extraction is extremely weak, so weak that even the immortal gods who absorb the power have difficulty detecting the truth."
"but"
Biwan changed the subject and speculated sadly,
"I don't believe that those old guys don't know the secret."
"It's said that they only figured it out when something happened. I think they already knew it."
Chen Ze asked why he said this, and Bi An settled a score with him.
"Take this hell, or a place like Hades, Underworld, or Purgatory."
"Why do the immortals who established these fields want to study the principles of reincarnation?"
"Hehehehe."
"Believers who have dedicated their souls are involved in it. As the master of the domain, the immortal gods only need to find some excuses, saying that the believers are harmful to nature and have done many unjust things, and then they can just tick off the book of life and death and shorten their life span."
"On the surface, we follow the rules, but in fact, after the believers go through reincarnations over and over again, the lost soul power will naturally stay in the realm."
"Let's talk about merit and reward. Give power to those obedient 'great good people' and let them be the ghost soldiers of Yama to maintain this set of rules. It can be said to the outside world that their good deeds will be rewarded, so that more people will believe in them. Miles!”
"There is also the so-called requesting immortals and gods to do things. Even if you perform rituals on the altar, your life span will be shortened. They don't even think about who will lose all the life span?"
"There are many doorways here!"
“The more and more complex the rituals and rules are, the easier it is to manipulate them!”
"Anyway, if any believer is overextracted and dies violently, others will help make excuses, saying that they have violated taboos, greed, or karma."
"Forget it for latecomers, I don't believe that the first immortal to do this wouldn't be unaware!"
What Bi An said was so convincing that even Chen Ze felt like breaking into a cold sweat.
According to what Bi'an said, all the immortals and gods in the sky seem to have become black-hearted vendors, trying every means to recruit leeks for themselves. It can even be said to be like plucking the feathers of geese. They think about how to kill believers all day long? !
Obviously Chen Ze has no consciousness of being a participant.
But he still noticed the illogical logic in it.
"But will the gods be restrained like this?"
"Wouldn't it be fun to just eat up the souls of believers?"
As soon as Biwan heard this, he stretched out his fingers as if he had expected it and replied,
"First, most immortals and gods don't know the truth, so they can only follow the rules."
Bi Yan stretched out a second finger,
"Secondly, even mortals know how to fish from the lake, how can the immortals and gods not understand? Even if there are some who don't understand the rules."
Biwan secretly pointed at the top of his head.
".There will also be rules-makers to make Him understand the rules."
Having said that, Bi Yan stretched out a third finger.
"The third is the most important point."
Biwan rarely used a solemn tone and said,
"The total amount of soul is conserved."
Without waiting for Chen Ze to ask further questions, Bi An immediately explained,
"The total amount of souls of all living things in the world is always constant. This is what I heard when the Buddha was talking crazy things."
"So since ancient times, whenever human beings prosper, all spirits must wither. One will decline and the other will grow."
"And the number of humans will not continue to expand. Once a certain critical point is exceeded, the birth rate will continue to decline."
"The immortals and gods would naturally like to have as many mortals as possible, but it backfires."
"Besides, if you directly devour souls, one or two is fine. If there are too many, the purity of your own divinity will inevitably be tainted."
"So the immortals and gods have no choice but to go around in so many circles."
"Allowing some low-level immortals to enrich their souls, wouldn't it just save trouble for the superiors?"
"In the final analysis, there is still a lot of food for a monk."
Bi'an said a cruel fact in a calm tone,
"To put it bluntly, the so-called immortals and gods are actually no different from mortals, no different from ants."
Bi Fan pointed to the top of his head again,
"It's just the small amount of food reserves that exist."
"." Chen Ze was silent for a moment,
"Are you talking about all life, including beyond Earth?"
"Of course," Bi'an said matter-of-factly.
“The vastness of heaven and earth encompasses everything, and is itself a summary of the basic rules.”
"This set of rules is followed even in the universe beyond the earth."
"Life only exists on earth, so people gave it the name 'Heaven and Earth'."
"So there is no life in the entire universe except the earth?" Chen Ze asked again.
"You can't say that." Bi Yan looked more and more relaxed and shrugged.
"As far as I know, no immortals have ever truly reached the edge of the universe."
"At least in the areas that have been explored, there are no signs of life in Tianhe and its surrounding areas."
"Originally, while the gods were managing the earth well, they were slowly exploring the outside world, reducing expenditure and increasing revenue. Everything was in order."
"but then."
"The world has changed." Chen Ze frowned and continued.
"It's because the rules in the entire universe have changed." Bian pointed out.
"This change has forced the gods and gods into chaos."
"There are all kinds of things here. Well, that's fine."
"In short, this outer world is a camp created by the immortals and gods."
"Camp." Chen Ze's eyes sharpened.
"Yes." Biwan walked up and down, holding his hands behind his back.
"All the immortals and gods know that Tianwaitian is just a place of survival. If we want to truly survive, we must find a way to break the situation once and for all."
"And here, this place."
Biwan raised his hand and pointed at the huge shaking balance.
"This is the Buddha's Bodhgaya (place of enlightenment)."
"Or"
Bi Fan suddenly snapped his fingers, causing the trembling of the scale to calm down instantly.
".The testing ground for Buddha's soul."
Chen Ze and Bi An stood side by side, staring at how the balance filled with soul bricks was transformed with the cooperation of technological equipment and Buddhist instruments. (End of chapter)
