Xi Tong was silent for a long time... a long time...
Hongjun's words shocked him deeply. This shock came from the exploration of the origin of the world and the understanding of the essence of the world.
In the parallel world system, everyone has the capital to become a saint.
Saints such as Tongtian Cult Leader, Yuanshi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, Zhunti, Jieyin, etc. all condensed their incarnations through the power of merit to create the "Three Corpses Yuanshen".
Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, it also requires great opportunities and great luck. If one mistake is not made, everything will be lost like the Master of Tongtian.
But what about in the parallel world system?
Everyone has countless "Three Corpse Souls", but due to various reasons, these "Three Corpse Souls" are unable to face their true hearts and understand the Great Way.
Even Einstein only resonated with selves in other worlds and contributed to scientific research results, but he did not become a saint immediately.
Saints such as Master Tongtian knew the direction of the avenue they were pursuing from the very beginning, but they just didn’t have enough Three Corpses Yuan Shen.
The parallel world system has countless three corpse souls, but it doesn't know what it is pursuing, and it doesn't even know the existence of the great road.
"So, can Western religions successfully enter the world of gods and be transformed into Buddhism?"
Hongjun nodded and agreed with Xi Tong's idea.
This is not the successful invasion of Western religions, but the success of the Fengshen World in assimilating them, just like the Central Plains cultural circle has assimilated the grassland peoples again and again.
Buddhism emphasizes understanding one's mind and one's nature.
To understand one's mind is to discover one's true heart, and to see one's nature is to see one's true nature.
That's why you can achieve great enlightenment and become a Buddha immediately.
Everyone has Buddha nature. If you abandon evil and follow good, you can become a Buddha.
In a parallel world system, everyone has countless selves, and these selves are either good or evil, strong or weak, civilized or martial...
And no matter which one, as long as they can resonate with each other, they can transcend the world and sublimate themselves.
It is precisely for this reason that Buddhist disciples always say to everyone they meet that the donor has a destiny with me, the Buddha.
The Buddha saved the world, but it was a pity that all sentient beings were ignorant.
Therefore, the Buddha only saves those who are destined to him.
For example, Long Yang suffered three calamities of greed, anger, and ignorance. Feipeng, Long Yang, and Jingtian experienced three lives, but they all ended in failure.
In the world of Fengshen, Long Yang's "self" is Yang Jian.
There is no overlap in the fate of the two people, and there will never be any overlap. Both parties have achieved their own achievements, and they have diverged from many turning points.
However, because of Xi Tong, Long Yang and Yang Jian met and became one.
In a sense, Long Yang has killed a "three corpse spirit".
However, his method of beheading the three corpses was completely opposite to that of Saints such as Master Tongtian.
In the same way, there are Nezha and Xiaoliu.
Xiaoliu was the first to kill the soul of three corpses in this way, so the moment he succeeded, he was recognized by Heaven, and a share of Heaven was given to him personally.
Xi Tong scratched his head and felt an idea break through the soil, speaking wildly, as if it was about to burst out of his head.
“Will these worlds continue to evolve?”
Hongjun shook his head, "The meaning of the parallel world system is to give birth to more extraordinary heroes and more saints. This is the meaning of their birth and the value of their existence."
"Each turning point will have a varying number of parallel world branches. Within a certain range, parallel worlds can interact with each other, but beyond this range, the probability of mutual influence is greatly reduced or even disappears."
"So, this world will become useless waste and then be abandoned."
"Every certain period of time, or when a certain amount is accumulated, these useless worlds will be tested."
"Or Nirvana and rebirth, completely getting rid of the fetters, starting your own path, exuding countless turning points."
"Or it may simply be annihilated and cease to exist."
Xi Tong couldn't help but think of the earth.
"So, where did the world of Annihilation go?"
Xi Tong thought of a possibility, but was not sure about it. However, Hongjun confirmed his suspicion.
"Revival of spiritual energy!"
Xi Tong has seen scenes of the Titan world merging with other worlds.
The world of loot was shattered into pieces by earth, water, fire and wind, then expanded into prehistoric times, returned to chaos, and merged into the Titan world in its original form.
During this process, certain temples, ruins, or things such as beliefs and inheritances will persist and be buried in the clouds, underwater, and rocks, waiting to be opened by the destined person.
It's not that the integration is incomplete, but that something valuable has been retained by the world.
The earth is different.
Many things in the two parallel worlds are 99% similar, or even identical. There is no need to preserve them separately, so they have all been transformed into their origins.
When the two "selves" merge, the external manifestation is that they possess incredible power.
These powers may be personal hobbies, pursuits, obsessions, desires, or some hidden talents, bloodlines, and opportunities.
Xi Tong couldn't help but think about the ending of the earth "in 30 years" in his own world.
Destroyed by unknown forces.
Except for a few extraordinary heroes who survived and continued to wander, 99.9999% of all living things have become the burial objects of the earth and continue to give gifts to other worlds as part of the recovery of spiritual energy.
Scholars in the future world have never understood the reason for the revival of spiritual energy, and ultimately attributed it to cosmic tides.
The fact is...
Cruel?
Cold-blooded?
If it were the Earth Age, Xi Tong would definitely feel that his fate was unfair, and even had the idea of "If Heaven wants to destroy me, I will kill Heaven."
But after understanding the nature of the world, Xi Tong felt relieved.
The world in which people live is just a drop in the ocean of the parallel world system, and the interval of personal existence is just a blink of an eye in this world.
So what about life, so what about death?
If you cannot become a transcendent hero, transcend the earth, transcend the parallel world system, and become a saint-like existence, you will eventually return to dust and dust.
So what if you struggle, what if you roar?
The world is destroyed, how can there be any eggs left behind when the nest is overturned?
I have been in a state of confusion for more than ten years and twenty years. Not only did I not practice cultivation and seek to have a clear mind and see my nature, it also became an obstacle and burden for "selves" in other worlds to clear their minds and see their nature.
Death is not only their liberation, but also their final destination.
Every cause must have an effect.
The world they live in was born due to a turning point in history, and will also be annihilated due to this turning point in history.
The period of their existence may be long, or it may be short, but for the world that is at the turning point of history, it is only a blink of an eye, or even a thought.
Such as dreams.
Countless possibilities at historical turning points have created countless worlds, and countless worlds have developed and been annihilated. Some have blazed their own path, while others have become considerations and weights for the development route at historical turning points.
Just like at certain critical moments, or when making important decisions, people will always have mixed thoughts, and the possible scenarios that will happen after each decision emerge in their minds.
It seems like many years and many things have gone through in one moment.
But they don’t know that those things are real and happened.
Therefore, there is a saying that one flower, one world, one thought, one Bodhi.
Your thought may be the eternity of other "selves".
Your eternity may also be the moment of other "selves".
Xi Tong looked up at Hongjun again. Just as he was about to say something, the old man waved his sleeves and swept him out.
"The time has not come, the time has not come..."
"You are not strong enough, and rashly touching these secrets will do more harm than good."
