"What will happen to a world that is completely assimilated by it?"
Shu Han couldn't help but ask.
Lao Lutou said sadly: "All life will lose its shape, lose its thoughts, lose its future, and eventually return to a unified and indifferent consciousness. Such a world has no color, no hope, only endless loneliness and silence."
As soon as he raised his hand, the previously unfolded fantasy of the vast world began to twist and merge. Everything was swallowed up by the darkness. Flowers, birds, animals, mountains, rivers, and all living creatures first lost their color, then lost their form, and finally merged into a formless thing.
Huge existence, eternal silence.
Shu Han swallowed his saliva. He had seen many fears along the way, but this time he experienced the trembling beyond fear. What he faced was no longer death, but the real nothingness.
.
"Senior, has your original world been lost?"
Lao Lutou nodded and sighed: "The only thing left in my original world is the Land of Immortal Fall. The Land of Immortal Fall is a huge tombstone, recording the world-destroying battle. The Land of Immortal Fall
The ancient tombs on the ground are the names on the tombstones. They were all martyrs who sacrificed their lives in that decisive battle. It is a pity that their sacrifices could not save the world..."
"The Land of Immortal Fall is the tombstone of that world, and it is also the lone boat of that world. It carried the last living beings of that world to the current spiritual world. Now I don't know how many years have passed, and the surviving living beings have long since
I have already integrated into the spirit world environment, so only I still remember that period of history."
Shu Han couldn't help but ask: "What about the fairy world? If a world is swallowed up and destroyed, will the fairy world be indifferent?"
Lao Lutou smiled and said: "Of course the immortal world cares, otherwise why is this cemetery called the Land of Immortal Fallen?" Shu Han suddenly thought of the huge floating corpse, and immediately said: "In that war back then, immortals participated!
?”
Lao Lu nodded.
"There were immortals involved, and they actually lost."
Lao Lutou smiled and said: "Actually, don't overestimate the omnipotence of immortals. After the peak of human nature, you begin to realize the immortal way. The immortal way is the law of the world, and the immortals are just monks who understand some of the laws of the world. To us, they
Although extremely powerful, he is still only human after all. Being human has weaknesses and limitations..."
At this point, Lao Lutou's smile disappeared.
"Do you know why I hate those who break oaths so much?"
"Why?"
Lao Lutou looked up to the sky and sighed: "Because my original world was destroyed by one person's betrayal."
"Although the wandering void is powerful, it has no thoughts, methods and strategies. It is like a baby with unparalleled power. And you also know that the most indispensable thing for the creatures in our universe is scheming and strategy. Therefore, it can often
At the very beginning, I was able to use tactics and strategy to push back the invasion of nothingness."
"But after the void developed an eye, it was observing and learning. Soon it observed a fatal weakness of the creatures in our universe. This weakness is also the reason why we are different from it."
"What weakness?"
Lao Lutou said calmly: "Greed and selfishness."
"The creatures in our universe are all independent thinking individuals, and most of them spend their entire lives competing. Compete with others for superiority, compete with heaven and earth for longevity, and compete with their own illusory life for meaning."
Shu Han echoed: "Yes, the world is like a torrent, and we are all rushing forward in this rapid torrent. Selfishness and greed are the nature of an individual life. No one can say that he does not have a little greed, and those so-called saints are just
The things I pursue are different from those of ordinary people, so it seems selfless. But ultimately, the fundamentals are still the same."
Lao Lutou then said: "The nothingness is learning, and it cannot learn the wisdom intertwined by thousands of independent creatures, but it has learned to take advantage of our selfishness and greed."
Hearing this, Shu Han's eyelids couldn't help but twitch wildly.
Yu Ming clan!
"Give the races in the spirit world power, let the creatures in the spirit world fight against the creatures in the spirit world, and finally enjoy the results?"
Lao Lutou nodded.
"How can there be such an ignorant race!"
Shu Han couldn't help but became filled with righteous indignation: "For the sake of short-term interests, they give up the future of their own race, and even the future of the entire spiritual world, to help the tiger! What is this! Do they have no brains?"
Lao Lutou smiled and said: "Power and strength are like an endless abyss. As long as you are blinded by temporary greed and fall into the abyss, there will be no chance to look back. Maybe when we are talking, what is given by nothingness is just
It's a small profit for a short period of time. But on a real scale, for a race in the spiritual world with little strength and precariousness, it is a huge temptation. This means that the entire race can be proud and proud, and it means that it will be prosperous for at least a million years.
How can seed be considered a small profit?"
Shu Han had to agree with what Lao Lutou said.
This reminded him of the Houqi tribe, the race of Xuanmingxian.
The Houqi tribe lived in a humble life on the Holy Spirit Continent, dominated by the three tribes of humans, demons and demons. They were exterminated just for the sake of an illusory Xuantian seed. For such a small tribe, the future is precarious, precarious, and there is no future at all. Nothingness.
The gift is simply a gift that they cannot refuse. They will never think about the future of the spiritual world millions of years later.
"In this way, the nothingness really takes advantage of the weaknesses of our creatures."
Shu Han couldn't help but ask: "This is true for all living beings, especially the weaker they are, the less they care about gains and losses, and the future. Shouldn't this be the time for people from the immortal world to play their role?! Don't they just supervise and allow themselves to be tempted by nothingness?
!”
Lao Lutou sighed: "I have told you before that immortals are not just monks with higher levels of cultivation, they are also human beings. As human beings, there is a possibility of being tempted."
Shu Han's eyes widened: "Immortals can also be tempted by nothingness? Why, haven't they already achieved enlightenment and become immortals, and live as long as heaven? Why are they still tempted by nothingness?"
Lao Lutou looked at Shu Han and asked: "A summer insect cannot speak of ice. How can you understand the thoughts of an immortal when you think you have attained the Tao and become an immortal? Do you really think that your life span is as long as the sky? After attaining the Tao and becoming an immortal, the desires in people's hearts will be
Disappear? As long as a person is alive, the desires in his heart will continue to churn. Once one is satisfied, ten or hundreds will follow, and it will become increasingly difficult to achieve and never stop."
Shu Han was silent.
When he thought about it carefully, it was indeed true.
When he was still in the foundation building stage, the only thought in his mind was to reach the Nascent Soul stage and marry Shangguan Ruolin openly and honestly. At that time, he thought that the Nascent Soul could live for thousands of years and marry his sweetheart. His biggest wish in life had been fulfilled, and he would be happy in this life.
No regrets anymore.
But after he cultivated into the Nascent Soul, bigger wishes and more difficult-to-realize visions came to the fore. Desires were hard to satisfy, and it was like a curse that could never be solved.
