Chapter 71 Man no longer believes in God, but God believes in man
On top of the sacred tree, Huang Shang's fingers slowly slid in the air.
His movements were extremely slow, and with the sliding of his fingertips, a rune was slowly born, revealing an indescribable charm.
At first, there will always be stagnation, spiritual energy disorder, and rune dissipation.
Gradually, the fluency becomes higher and higher, but at the end, there will still be backlash and I have to start over.
Fortunately, this is the sacred tree, the hub of heaven and earth.
If it were any other place, even in Shushan, after every failure, he would have to recover for a period of time before trying again, but here Huang Shang almost succeeded in one go, and immediately started painting again after every failure, without stopping at all.
Ten times! A hundred times! A thousand times!
Finally, after more than three thousand attempts, the first complete rune condensed in front of my finger.
This rune is different from the current restrictions in the world of immortality. The lines are extremely complicated and seem to be all-encompassing.
But if you look carefully, you can see the artistic conception of reducing complexity to simplicity. Every stroke you take absorbs the charm of all directions and contains infinite mystery.
The true style of cultivation is vividly reflected above.
"Return to nature, let's call it spiritual pattern!"
Huang Shang moved his fingertips again and wrote four more runes in one go.
Thunder spirit, water spirit, fire spirit, earth spirit!
The four runes rotate around the spiritual pattern in the center, making it fuller and more three-dimensional.
"Just so-so!"
Huang Shang thought for a moment and shook his head.
There is progress, but not enough.
Still no match for the siege of demigods.
The gap between demigods and gods and demons should be the biggest bottleneck faced by all living beings.
I don’t know how many strong people with outstanding talents, profound knowledge, and no shortage of hard work and opportunities are stuck at this level.
In view of this, the strong people at this stage must be constantly realizing and sprinting, and no one will be much weaker than the other.
That kind of leapfrog challenge, where I am invincible to demigods, will almost never happen.
The reincarnators have advantages over plot characters because they hold semi-artifacts and various cards.
"well!"
Huang Shang sighed softly, but did not lose hope and prepared to continue working hard.
"Are you trying to curb your evil thoughts?"
But at this moment, the voice of the Evil Sword Immortal came from behind.
Huang Shang turned around: "What do you mean by this?"
The Evil Sword Fairy, who has regained his adult smoking state, has a cold look in his eyes: "No need to pretend, I am you. I understand your fear, and you will definitely kill the evil thoughts in your body in advance to prevent its birth!"
Huang Shang tilted his head and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Sure enough, one lie must be piled up with thousands of lies. Do you really think that evil thoughts can be repeated endlessly?
However, the Evil Sword Immortal vowed: "Obviously, each generation of us is stronger than the last. I am stronger than the Five Elders of Shushan because I have absorbed the evil intentions of many demons in the Demon Locking Tower, and you know the language of the gods, so you have absorbed it."
The evil thoughts of the Gods? I really didn’t expect you to be able to do this. It can be seen that our ‘race’ is evolving rapidly, so don’t kill your next generation!”
"I never thought you could figure out so much!"
Huang Shang was dumbfounded at first, but the Evil Sword Immortal even figured out the race. Other races were getting weaker from generation to generation, and the ancestor was the strongest. But when it came to it, it became stronger and stronger.
This is not nonsense. Natural selection and survival of the fittest actually contain this truth no matter which world it is.
Seeing how the Evil Sword Immortal was protecting the calf after a generation passed, Huang Shang said perfunctorily: "If you don't become the Five Elders of Shushan, I won't do it either. I will treat my split body well, although I don't think it will be born soon.
!”
"No! You are wrong. You should promote its birth. That is in line with the evolution of our clan!"
The Evil Sword Immortal spread his arms and his tone became passionate and excited: "In the long run, as long as the evil thoughts continue to split and the power that can be swallowed becomes more and more widespread, we will become a perfect life form, enough to rule the six realms!
"
He is worthy of being a villain, with ideals and motivation, and a simple and clear goal in life to rule the world!
Huang Shang couldn't help but complain: "But at that time, you will face the risk of being swallowed up by the new generation. Are you willing to sacrifice yourself?"
Evil Sword Immortal corrected: "That's not devouring, but fusion. In fact, I have already done that!"
After saying that, the lower body of the Evil Sword Immortal, which was circling like mosquito coils, suddenly broke into pieces, and each small section transformed into a little evil, making a different cry:
"Jie, Jie, Jie! Chi Chi Chi! Bang bang bang!"
Huang Shang was moved: "Do you want to separate your life from the Lord?"
This is unacceptable to him.
This is no longer a clone, but a complete self chopped into countless parts, each of which exists independently.
Normal people can't do it even if they want to. This ability of the Evil Sword Immortal comes from the way of the demon in the "White Bone Demon Sutra".
In terms of skill control, Huang Shang is better than Evil Sword Immortal because he has learned so much. However, due to the difference in life forms, Evil Sword Immortal's operation on the path of demons is unmatched by anyone. This is instinctive.
Self-taught without a teacher.
The three views are different. Huang Shang cannot accept his own division at all, but the Evil Sword Immortal doesn't care. Instead, he looks at hundreds of himself with a kind face: "This will be our race. I named it the Evil Clan. You
What do you think?"
Huang Shang recovered from the shock, thought for a while and said: "The word evil is too simple. The cathode is yang, and the anode is yin. The extreme darkness can also produce light. From my point of view, if there is no body and exists as a soul, it is better to call it
Go to the Soul Clan!"
"The Soul Clan...the Soul Clan...is called the Soul Clan!"
The Evil Sword Immortal was persuaded, thinking about the future, and was so mesmerized: "We are not only a race composed of countless lives, but also a complete body, gathering and dispersing as we wish, incarnating into billions of gods, demons, immortals, monsters, humans and ghosts.
Not as good as my soul clan, we are supreme!"
Race: Soul race.
Racial talent: Gather and disperse as desired.
“The world is wonderful!”
Seeing the Evil Sword Immortal transform from a monster that is neither a god, nor a demon, nor an immortal, nor a monster, nor a demon, nor a human, nor a ghost, to the self-proclaimed ancestor of the Soul Clan, Huang Shang sighed at the wonders of the world, and at the same time, a light flashed in his mind: "I probably understand, that light
How did the giant come into being..."
He had always been unable to figure out why the Evil Sword Immortal, who transformed into a giant of light after receiving part of the core luck of the three protagonists of the Fairy Sword, was so powerful, but was directly penetrated into his body by the descending Yaksha and was directly knocked back to his original form.
Now it seems that core luck is not a direct enhancement of strength, but a catalyst.
The form of the Giant of Light is actually the result of the Evil Sword Immortal bringing together all the split soul clans, and using the power of Shushan to transform the two poles.
But although it was powerful on the surface, its internal structure still couldn't withstand the real test, so during the siege, it was still destroyed by the Goddess.
"It's all fancy, but it still gets hammered, alas..."
Just as Huang Shang was sighing in his heart, Xiyao's soft voice came from not far away: "You two, please come over and taste my home-cooked food!"
He and the Evil Sword Immortal floated over, and saw that Xiyao had already set up a round table in front of the flower garden. The demon-suppressing sword took hold of the dishes and put the dishes on them.
Braised cloud swan wings, steamed blue moon lotus, evening cloud grass mixed with rhyme silk, crystal sandalwood fruit plate, heavenly jade dew...
As soon as you hear the name of the dish, you can tell that it is very homely.
After Xiyao finished her preparations, she watched Huang Shang and Xie Jianxian take their seats with joy. She did not say any common etiquette, but moved her chopsticks first, and then narrowed her eyes, intoxicated by her cooking skills.
"praise!"
Huang Shang picked it up and put it in his mouth, and all kinds of delicious adjectives burst out instantly.
The ingredients are so good that they don't need to be refined at all. It's just so delicious that it's ready to go in no time.
Especially the Heavenly Immortal Jade Dew surprised him.
It is indeed a fine wine from the divine world, a fine nectar and jade liquid, and it is just right for your appetite.
(((o(*?▽?*)o)))
The Evil Sword Immortal is not polite either. After all, these are natural and earthly treasures. Even if they don't have a physical body, they can still absorb the spiritual energy from them.
While enjoying the fine wine and delicacies, everyone chatted with each other.
Xiyao was too lonely, eager to hear stories from outside. The Evil Sword Immortal inherited the memories of the Five Elders of Shushan, and later listened to countless demons chatting in the Demon Locking Tower. She had a broad knowledge, and Huang Shang was not afraid of exposing anything, picking up information from all walks of life.
Told a lot of interesting things.
While talking, Huang Shang asked the doubt in his heart: "The spiritual energy in the divine world is scarce, how do the gods survive today?"
Xiyao is at the center of the storm and knows this very well: "Many gods took the initiative to enter a deep sleep and waited until the sacred tree returned to normal before waking up."
Huang Shang asked: "What about the demons?"
Xiyao showed sadness: "They are killing each other, with countless casualties."
The world of gods is silent, and the world of demons is in civil strife. They have different temperaments and completely different behavior styles, but they are all for the continuation of the entire race.
Huang Shang was silent for a moment and then asked: "Then the gods and demons don't want to go to the human world?"
Judging from the structure of the fairy sword world previously observed, the two realms of gods and demons are like two pieces of bread, sandwiching the human realm, the ghost realm is on the back of the human realm, and the fairy and demon realms are dotted like sesame seeds.
Under normal circumstances, the gods and demons would naturally look down upon the environment in the human world, but now that they can no longer live happily, why don't they move?
Xiyao revealed the answer: "The Emperor of Heaven and the Lord of Demons have ordered that the two races are not allowed to turn to other realms!"
Huang Shang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Wise decision.
Otherwise, the six realms will be in chaos.
But one thing is wrong...
"Why can the Nine Heavens Xuannv disobey orders and come?"
Previously, outside Nanzhao, the projection of the Nine Heavens Xuannv came and fought a battle with the Water Monster. Although it was not the real body in the lower realm, and there were talismans from the eight Kunlun sects, this was against the orders of the Emperor of Heaven.
Moreover, at that time, she was hostile to Nanzhao and deliberately changed her faith.
"The power of faith?"
Huang Shang's clone, Huang Shang, has studied the power of faith very well. He knows that the more powerful the spiritual power is in the world, the more important the power of faith is.
In a sense, the power of faith is a variant of aura, and creatures give them more extreme directionality.
For example, if you offer sacrifices to the Nine Heavens Xuannv, then the spiritual energy will flow towards the Nine Heavens Xuannv. When a small amount adds up to a large amount, the effect will be extremely impressive.
You don’t have to do anything, and someone pours power into your body, how wonderful it is~
"Life in the divine world is hard and simple now, so the power of faith is particularly important."
"Everyone worships Fuxi, the Emperor of Heaven. Among the gods under Fuxi, Jiutian Xuannv receives the most incense, and she has become the head of the goddesses. If the belief in Nuwa in Nanzhao is restored, it will even spread to
In the Central Plains, people will worship Nuwa..."
"In this way, although the gods have not come to the human world, they still regard the human race as a cash withdrawal machine!"
When superiors give orders, subordinates will still distort them due to various interests.
This is true whether it is an ancient feudal dynasty or a place like Heaven.
It seems that this conflict is still inevitable.
Because Huang Shang really wanted to spread Nuwa's faith throughout the Central Plains.
This is to change the fate of Nuwa's descendants and allow the imprint of Nuwa, the ruler of the heavens, to return to the world.
In order to supplement the insufficient spiritual energy with the power of faith, the Gods must hope that all living beings will believe in the Gods. If a fallen Nuwa robs them of the power of faith, conflict will inevitably break out.
The root cause is that the disaster of the divine tree triggered a chain reaction. Otherwise, the gods would study the way of heaven and be self-sufficient, and would not care about the human race at all.
"The symbiosis of the six realms. The two realms of gods and demons are over, and the human realm sandwiched in the middle is also over. Now it is time for the human realm to play its role. If we can build a fleet of flying boats and transport spiritual stones into the two realms in batches, at least we can
To relieve stress in the short term…”
"I'm afraid that these superior gods and demons are still putting on airs and are unwilling to accept rescue from humans!"
Just as he was thinking about the powerful relationship, the voice of the Evil Sword Immortal suddenly sounded in his ears: "Those sleeping gods are a good opportunity!"
Huang Shang asked: "What are you going to do?"
The Evil Sword Immortal said: "The soul clan I separated is still in an extremely weak state. If it stays in the bodies of those sleeping gods, it will definitely grow in size and unify the six realms at the fastest speed!"
Huang Shang categorically rejected: "No!"
What he wants to do is to calm internal conflicts rather than add fuel to the fire.
If the Evil Sword Immortal wants to suck blood from the Gods, he will definitely be exposed. If there are reincarnations who interfere with it again, then the Gods and the Humans will completely fall out!
The Evil Sword Immortal's eyes suddenly became dangerous: "You want to miss such a good opportunity? Aren't you a member of the Soul Clan?"
"I'm your father, if I push you harder I'll kill you!"
Huang Shang felt a rare irritation in his heart. It was really difficult to lead a group of unreliable guys. He quickly drank a big sip of the heavenly jade dew and drank the wine, which made him feel much better.
At this moment, even he had to admit that wine is indeed a good thing for forgetting worries. When things go wrong, forgetting worries with good wine is of course an escape, but it can also adjust one's state. Just don't be immersed in it.
"The power of faith... the power of faith... wait, my Dionysus can also gather the power of faith!"
It was with this thought that Huang Shang looked at the wine glass and his eyes lit up, like two large 10,000-watt light bulbs.
The Evil Sword Immortal was so stabbed that he turned his head away, and then he heard: "This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but your method is too petty. According to me, I can take advantage of the time when the gods are sleeping to make them believe in me!"
Under the shocked gaze of the Evil Sword Immortal, Huang Shang raised his glass and drank deeply, adding in his heart: "From now on, people no longer believe in gods, but gods believe in people!"
