Reincarnation is one of the most profound avenues in the universe.
One after another, the powerful gods are closely related to the Great Way of Reincarnation. According to legend, the person in charge of reincarnation is the Queen of the Earth. Even in the ancient times, where strong men are like clouds and giants are like rain, he is still the most powerful one. By.
Under Daluo, no one dares to say that he has understood reincarnation. Even the Buddha only claimed to be free from reincarnation, withered and prosperous, neither increasing nor decreasing, neither birth nor death.
Although Shen Gongbao transformed into Ksitigarbha, his grasp of reincarnation is only superficial.
In his opinion, flowers bloom on the other side, and flowers fall on the other side. The flowers bloom and fall on the other side for a thousand years. After all, there is no similar person.
After the reincarnation of ordinary creatures, everything is washed away and they start over. Even if there is a little bit of cause and effect, after going through the past life, this life, the next life, and the three reincarnations, the cause and effect are completely eliminated and transformed into a brand new creature.
In other words, in the first life, the second life, and the third life, there is a chance to awaken the true spirit and find oneself, but it only happens three times. After three times, there is no chance again.
However, the Golden Immortal Emperor is immortal, no matter how many times he reincarnates, he has the cause and effect of maintaining the enlightenment in that life. Under countless chances and coincidences, he found the fragments of memory, finally opened the source, and returned to his true body.
"But, when the reincarnations of the later generations return to the first life, who will be the one to lead their lives."
Ksitigarbha King Shen Gongbao spoke softly, his eyes touched the infinite river of time, and murmured: "Should I identify with the true self of the Emperor of Heaven in the first life, or should I insist on my true self in the later life, and treat the memory of the first life as a movie, like a revolving lantern to watch? But without any emotion.”
This is the biggest problem after the reincarnation of the Golden Immortal Emperor. I am me in the first life, and I am me in the future life. Who is the master, who is second, or is it a fusion.
Whether to recognize the previous life, whether to recognize the feelings, whether to integrate oneself into the memory, this is the key point of reincarnation.
After reincarnation, the Emperor of Heaven and the Great Emperor of Fengdu thought whether he was an innate god or an acquired being. The biggest conflict lies in his choice of stance and different perspectives.
If he accepts that he is an acquired being and chooses to rebel against heaven, will he still be the emperor of heaven in the past?
If one recognizes oneself as an innate god, perfectly inherits memories, and suppresses one's self in later generations, then can such reincarnation be called a body-seizing.
Love, hate, ups and downs, all kinds of flavors of life, past and present life, collide at a certain moment, it's hard to describe.
The matter of reincarnation is like a person knowing whether drinking water is cold or warm.
Ksitigarbha King Shen Gongbao looked at the land of endless reincarnation. He couldn't help but clasping his hands together and sighing: "All living beings suffer."
Life is painful, death is painful, reincarnation is also painful, the world is like a sea of suffering, and few people can transcend it.
Like a fish swimming in a net, it will be a long stream, slipping in and out, only to be caught in the net again.
At this thought, Ksitigarbha, who carried all Shen Gongbao's good thoughts, all compassion, and all humanity, couldn't help but shed tears. He stood in hell and swore a great wish: "If hell is not empty, I swear that I will never become a Buddha. Only by saving all sentient beings can I realize Bodhi."
The great wish resounds through the three realms, the source of the netherworld trembles, and the will of the nine netherworlds cheers. It just so happens that the underworld has no owner, and the emperor of Fengdu reincarnates. The supreme authority, accompanied by the sound of the great wish, moves towards Ksitigarbha.
Rays of brilliance condensed, rounds of merit spread, the treasures were solemn, and the netherworld was clear. After Emperor Fengdu, there was another person who combined Taoism with reality and became the master of Jiuyou and the emperor of Dao.
There is no longer any entanglement with the calamity of the day after tomorrow, and it is closely integrated with the Nine Nether Avenue. It truly lives the same life as the heaven and the earth, and the same age as the sun and the moon.
In this realm: gods are called emperors, immortals are called golden immortals, and Buddhas are called bodhisattvas.
When I first arrived at the joyful place, I said that the Bodhisattva's wisdom is the same as that of the Buddha, he understands the Buddhist principles, he sees the great road thoroughly, and he reaches the realm of the Buddha, and he obtains the joy of the Dharma.
This is the realm of Bodhisattva.
Then, in the next nine stages, one can ascend to heaven step by step. When the ten stages are completed, one can achieve the status of Buddha.
"Finally we've come this far."
Shen Gongbao is infinitely happy in his heart. The divine Golden Emperor combines the virtual with the Tao, and the human Ksitigarbha combines the real with the Tao. The virtual and the real are combined. There are his people in the sky and on the earth. He is an invincible existence in the Lotus Lantern universe.
This universe is his base camp and his backing.
In the future, when traveling in all the worlds, if you encounter difficult golden immortals or celestial beings, you can hide in this world and let them use my projection to conquer the demons.
On the surface I am an Earth Immortal monk, but in fact I have the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit. On the surface I have the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit, but in fact I have a Golden Immortal Vest, unlimited matryoshka dolls, which can give many surprises to my opponents.
"Here comes the pen."
Shen Gongbao shouted, and a vermilion pen linked to the laws of life and death in the underworld appeared in his hand.
After becoming the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, the dark book of life and death flew up automatically, and I flipped through page after page, but I still couldn't find the name of Ksitigarbha, because the Golden Emperor had already joined the Tao with virtuality, and there was no need to write it in the book of life and death. Removed.
An extra blank page appeared out of thin air on the book of life and death.
Looking at the blank page, Shen Gongbao smiled slightly and wrote:
[Yang Jian: People from Guanjiangkou, their mother is a heavenly being, their father is a human being, they are also the sons of gods and beings. 】
[Shouyuan: Three thousand six hundred years...]
The long river of time is boiling in the dark, and countless lines of cause and effect are intertwined. In accordance with the changes in the book of life and death, various destinies are compiled, and a new trend is gathered, surging and unstoppable.
After Emperor Fengdu and Red Emperor died together, the heaven was in chaos, gods and immortals were dead, like stars falling, dragons were leaderless, and major forces fought for power and profit, which led to countless disputes.
It wasn't until the three gods, Golden Emperor, Qing Zun, and Black Lord, arrived that the turmoil subsided and all the gods gathered together.
Then, a big question came.
The old Emperor of Heaven is dead, who will be the new Emperor of Heaven?
The gods seemed to be possessed, staring at the throne of the Emperor of Heaven, unable to give in!
What? You said that the Emperor of Heaven fell and the Three Realms were in chaos, oh, then you are about to choose the Emperor of Heaven to quell the chaos.
What? You said that the war between heaven and man makes people panic, and the gods need to come forward to stabilize people's hearts. No, it is better to choose the emperor of heaven first.
What? You said that the remnants of Huang Laojun have not been eradicated, and the resistance in the world is in full swing. Well, it is better to choose the Emperor of Heaven first.
What? You said that the immortals in the lower world are recruiting troops and preparing to conquer the sky for the second time. Well, the throne of the Emperor of Heaven is more important.
The entire heaven was noisy and lively as never before, and everyone supported a faction.
Some gods recommended the ten princes who were the legitimate sons of the Red Emperor, and selected a candidate with both ability and political integrity to ascend the throne. Some immortals shouted for Qingzun to take the throne and become the Eastern Heavenly Emperor. Even the black master in the north had many gods and immortals to support him. .
However, the most popular candidate is the Golden Emperor. Even though Shen Gongbao has not expressed his position, the gods and immortals under his command are not vegetarians, and they all dream of becoming a Conglong Gong.
All he needed to do was shout, "Your Majesty, it's getting cold. Please put on some clothes."
Shen Gongbao declined with a smile: "The Emperor of Heaven has not yet fallen. He is just reincarnated. After going through all kinds of disasters and having perfect merits, he will eventually return."
In an instant, there was a sudden silence in the noisy heaven.
Did they hear it right? The Emperor of Heaven is not dead!
The Red Emperor's eldest prince was extremely excited and asked: "Jin Huang, my father is not dead, where is he?"
"Golden Emperor!" The other princes asked, "Hurry up!"
"Don't you covet the throne of the Emperor of Heaven and want to murder my father?!"
"What is reincarnation?"
…
The attitude of the ten princes made the gods in heaven frown. The ten Golden Crow princes inherited the power of the Red Emperor as hot as the sun, but they did not inherit the profound wisdom and magnanimity of the Red Emperor.
In short, looking at him is not like a human being.
For a while, the balance in their hearts began to tilt. Many old gods were leaning towards the Three Emperors coming back to preside over the affairs of the Heavenly Court. After all, the Heavenly Court was a political alliance of the five gods from the beginning. Later, the Red Emperor's family became the dominant one, dominating the three realms with majesty and domineering power. It also makes many gods miss the past.
In the era of the Five Emperors, they were allies and collaborators of Heaven. When the Red Emperor became the Emperor of Heaven, they had to take refuge in the past and become the Emperor's ministers and even lackeys.
In an instant, countless gods looked at the Golden Emperor, as if saying that as long as His Majesty gave the order, five hundred swordsmen and axemen would stand up behind him, kill the remnants of the previous dynasty, and support His Majesty's enthronement.
Shen Gongbao smiled slightly, waved his hand, suppressed the solemn atmosphere, and explained with a smile: "The so-called reincarnation is a state, like an insect forming a cocoon, emerging and reborn, turning into a flying butterfly, and transforming into one life after another. One stage after another.”
"All living beings are in the cycle of reincarnation, dead and reborn, reborn and dead, endless life and death, like a wheel that keeps turning, and the cycle is endless."
Reincarnation, life and death?
The Lingxiao Palace in Heaven was silent for a moment, and then a huge discussion broke out to discuss this brand new thing.
In the battle against Tian, countless gods fell. Many relatives and friends of all the great gods here died in this disaster. If there is reincarnation...
"Dare to ask His Majesty the Golden Emperor."
In the Red Emperor's camp, a voice suddenly rang out. Fairy Yunhua in scarlet fairy clothes came slowly, bowed and bowed, with an anxious look in her eyes, and asked: "Where is this reincarnation? After the reincarnation, what will happen again?" What kind of creature will it become?”
"aunt."
As soon as Fairy Yunhua appeared, the originally arrogant and domineering Tenth Prince became a little quieter and started to follow his own path.
Fairy Yunhua is not the Red Emperor's biological sister, but an innate deity.
In order to compete for the position of the Heavenly Emperor, multiply heirs, and strengthen his power, the Red Emperor also swore sworn vows to all the innate gods. Because Fairy Yunhua mastered an extremely powerful magic weapon, she was also the target of the Red Emperor's wooing, and eventually became the Red Emperor's sworn sister. , is now the master of the Heavenly Bullfighting Palace.
Shen Gongbao took a deep look at Fairy Yunhua and said meaningfully: "Reincarnation is deep in the underworld, and only the dead can reach it."
"As for who you turn to after reincarnation, it is calculated based on your merits during your lifetime."
"If you have great merit in heaven and earth and great virtue in all living beings, you will have the opportunity to turn into an innate god."
"If the sin is serious, he will be reincarnated as a creature with the shallowest spiritual intelligence, and he may not become a demon for a hundred years."
"If he has no merits and demerits, he will probably become a creature with mediocre qualifications."
When the gods heard that reincarnation was in the depths of the underworld, their hearts suddenly went cold. Heaven and the underworld were fighting, how could they go to the enemy's base camp to track down information.
Only Fairy Yunhua paused and returned to her original position, with a thoughtful look on her beautiful face.
He has basically stayed in the Heavenly Palace all his life. He has neither great merits nor too many sins. He can be considered average. Will he be reincarnated into a human race with mediocre Taoist qualifications?
The human race is the largest in the world. Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. Strong human beings such as Kuafu and Si Yi spring up like bamboo shoots after the rain. The protection of each strong man makes the human race stronger and occupy more territory to thrive. , forming a positive cycle.
With the help of the gods and humans, they flourished during the interregnum when the gods were unable to govern the human world, and were on the verge of becoming the best clan in the world.
Fairy Yunhua made up her mind, looked for someone in a hurry, apologized, and walked out of the Lingxiao Palace, ignoring the cheap nephews who called her aunt.
As soon as Fairy Yunhua left, the momentum of the Red Emperor camp weakened, and many neutral innate gods began to waver.
At this time, the heavenly general outside the door came to report that a messenger from the Golden Emperor was taking the God of the Netherworld to the heaven to conclude a covenant, hoping that the world would be peaceful and the three realms would be unified.
The gods were greatly shocked. After repeated confirmations, they all praised the Golden Emperor's achievements and wanted to elect the Golden Emperor as the Emperor of Heaven.
But Shen Gongbao declined modestly: "How can I be the emperor of heaven if I am weak in virtue and strength? You have done me a lot of harm."
"Besides, the Red Emperor is wandering abroad and going through reincarnations. Sooner or later he will return one day. How can I occupy the great position?"
"It's better for the Red Emperor to come back and rule."
When these words fell into the ears of the gods and immortals, they suddenly had another meaning.
If the Red Emperor is not dead, I will feel uneasy.
The Red Emperor must be completely killed before the Golden Emperor can ascend the throne with peace of mind. Otherwise, if the Red Emperor comes back and starts a protest movement, there will be great drama.
Nip danger in the bud.
The gods looked at each other and understood. They no longer insisted on welcoming the new emperor. Instead, they asked the three emperors to come forward to restore the ancient covenant and regent the heaven.
Shen Gongbao happily agreed to this request and governed the heaven together with Qing Zun and Hei Lord.
Because both Jin Huang and Qing Zun were the ancestors of the Immortal Way, after settling in the Heavenly Court, the proportion of Immortals gradually began to increase, and the Immortals began to merge and erode the power of the Red Emperor.
…
In the Great Sun Palace.
"How dare this bitch Yunhua betray us!"
The Ninth Prince roared, his eyes red and burning with anger.
Several other princes were also filled with righteous indignation, lamenting that the world was declining and people's hearts were not as old as before. As soon as the Red Emperor died, many gods and goddesses became nothing more.
"enough!"
The eldest prince frowned and scolded: "What's the use of saying this now? The situation is over, the trees will fall and the hozens will scatter. This is the law of nature."
"unless……"
"Unless what?" Several princes quickly asked
"Unless our father returns." The tenth prince in the corner whispered with a dark look: "We are incompetent and cannot suppress the arrogant soldiers left by our father."
"Only by allowing the Emperor of Heaven to return will it be possible for those innate gods to surrender."
"Not bad!" The eldest prince stood up immediately, glanced at the tenth prince, and praised: "Xiao Shi is right, why do those innate gods disobey me, and instead want the Golden Emperor, Qing Zun, and Black Lord to become the new emperors of heaven."
"In the final analysis, we are sons of gods and demigods. Although we are sons of the Emperor of Heaven, we are not innate gods after all."
"In the eyes of those old antiques, no matter how harsh the Golden Emperor is, no matter how weak the Qing Zun is, and no matter how tyrannical the Black Lord is, they are still their clansmen and a part of the Innate God."
"The Son of God does not have their support, they only support the innate god."
"Only by letting the Emperor of Heaven return can we suppress these rebellious officials and traitors."
