"When people die, just like a lamp goes out, and when grass and trees wither, spring comes. I wonder when all living things will have an afterlife?"
Xuan Chen arrived late at this moment. Although the incarnation communicated with his soul, he could not help but sigh in his heart when he saw the scene of bones and blood everywhere.
The new ghosts are annoyed and the old ghosts are crying, and the sky is dark and rainy, chirping.
The human tribe that was slaughtered here was threatened by the little golden crow, and the demon tribe had not had time to take away the flesh and blood. Therefore, countless corpses were lying around, and the souls of wronged souls were scattered in the air. Unfortunately, there is no reincarnation yet, so even if the body dies, the soul will also die. There is no place to return.
Even if Xuan Chen wanted to save them, he couldn't. He could only sit back and watch as they were slowly wiped away by the scorching sun and strong wind.
"What did Fellow Taoist say just now?"
"What afterlife?"
Suddenly, a voice from behind startled Xuanchen. When she turned around, she saw that it was Hou Tu. Did she just hear her sigh?
Although Xuan Chen hopes that all living things will have an afterlife, Hou Tu helped the human race twice, but he did not want the other person to reincarnate and completely disappear into the prehistoric world.
Reincarnation is established, peace of mind comes out, and there will be no more witchcraft in the future.
He once thought about waiting for Hou Tu to achieve reincarnation, so as to gain some merit, but after getting to know Hou Tu, he gave up the idea. To achieve oneself at the expense of others would only make his Taoist heart dusty.
But reincarnation is the general trend of heaven and earth and cannot be stopped.
He could only let nature take its course.
"No, fellow Taoist heard it wrong." Xuan Chen denied it strongly.
Demon Court.
Di Jun, who had just returned to the Demon Court, angrily punched the table in front of the Demon Emperor's throne. Apparently, the loss of three top-quality innate spiritual treasures made Di Jun feel very bad.
"How many human flesh and blood essences have been collected in total? Nine Infants?"
"Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor, has collected a total of nearly 1.2 billion human flesh and blood." Jiuying answered truthfully.
"not enough."
According to Di Jun's opinion, at least one billion, one billion and ninety-six million human souls were needed to refine the witch-slaying sword that could break through Pangu's true body. However, at present, there was still a shortfall of nearly 100 million human souls.
"Well, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, you made an oath to heaven not to attack humans within a hundred thousand years?"
"Now we can no longer attack the human race!"
Jiu Ying was a little panicked. This time, in order to collect the flesh and blood essence for refining the Witch-Slaying Sword, almost all the demon gods from the Demon Court came out. However, they did not expect that His Highness the Prince would fall into the hands of the human Xuanyuan. Therefore, in order to save the Prince, His Majesty, He had to pay for three top-quality innate spiritual treasures, and even made an oath of heaven not to invade the human race for 100,000 years.
If the human race's flesh and blood and soul are not enough, this effort will really be in vain.
Di Jun pondered for a moment and said: "The oath of heaven cannot be broken. If I, the demon clan, cannot take action, why can't others take action?"
"Most of the blood essence and residual souls of the prehistoric creatures will be attracted to the Netherworld Blood Sea after death. Moreover, the Netherworld Blood Sea will definitely contain many human spirits."
"Take my token and go to the Netherworld Blood Sea to find the Ancestor Styx and ask for some human souls."
"If the human souls in the Netherworld Blood Sea are not enough, you can ask Patriarch Styx and his Asura clan to collect some human flesh and blood souls. I am willing to pay the price of a top-quality innate spiritual treasure."
"Get down!"
"Yes!" Jiuying quickly accepted the order and left.
On the other side, even though Xuan Chen tried his best to deny it, Houtu Zuwu refused to give up.
As a quasi-sage, she was sure that she heard correctly. The reason why she was so unyielding was precisely because she felt that the two words "afterlife" played a very important role in her, as if she was born to exist for these two words. .
As long as she could understand its meaning, she believed that it would be no problem for her to break through to the post-quasi-holy stage.
He even used Chi You as a threat, saying that Xuan Chen would not let him take Chi You away unless he made it clear.
Facing such a powerful Houtu Zusha, Xuanchen could only say: "I am indeed talking about the afterlife."
"O ancestor witch, you watch the sun rise in the east and set in the west, and the grass and trees wither and flourish year after year, but these living beings die and die, and even the remaining souls can only wander in the vast wilderness. There is no destination.”
"I just saw the corpses on the ground, and I couldn't help but feel sad. I don't know what will happen to me after I die, so I lamented about the afterlife."
Looking at Hou Tu Zu Wu's dazed look, Xuan Chen also knew that reincarnation was Hou Tu's mission and responsibility. Even if he didn't say that Hou Tu would figure it out one day, it would be better to tell her directly, maybe she would do it earlier. I understand there will be different results.
It blooms and fades like this every year, and when spring comes back at one year old, it will die.
Yes, plants and trees wither and flourish with each passing year, but all souls die like a lamp extinguished, never to be rekindled.
How unfair is this?
No, God is sovereign.
Could it be that this prehistoric world is incomplete, so all the creatures in the prehistoric world have no afterlife? Is it my mission to complete this prehistoric world? Let all living beings in the wild have an afterlife?
Hou Tuzu's shaman had an enlightenment, and the aura around his body was constantly changing, like the flow of yin and yang, like the withering of vegetation, like the overlapping of life and death, and like the change of the sun and the moon. Finally, two words appeared in Hou Tu's mind: reincarnation.
This is your own way, this is your birth mission.
Let the dead have a place to return and the living have a place to go.
This ancient world was transformed by Pangu's father god. The heaven and earth, the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains and rivers, and the oceans all originated from Pangu, including all living things in the world.
This is true even for the human race created by Nuwa the day after tomorrow. The Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and Sanguang Divine Water that created humans came from the ancient times and Pangu.
But the power left by Pangu is always limited. There will always be a day when it will be used up. Living things are constantly being born. The dead creatures will eventually be swallowed by the sea of blood, or be wiped out by the scorching sun and the wind. When the power left by God the Father is used up, , is the time of destruction.
What I have to do is to keep the prehistoric existence as long as possible, and let the power of Father God persist for a longer time, which is reincarnation.
After Hou Tu understood this, he immediately broke through to the late stage of quasi-sage, and even his weak Yuan Shen became a little stronger.
At this moment, Hou Tu seemed to see the scene of Pangu Kaitian fighting three thousand great gods and demons. Each of the chaotic gods and demons fell under Pangu's axe. Unable to block the attack of the Great God Pangu.
In the end, Pangu absorbed the laws of three thousand chaos demon gods and finally transformed into the prehistoric world.
Among them is the law of the demon of reincarnation.
But these laws were chopped into pieces by the God's axe. This led to the fact that there was reincarnation in the ancient world, but the reincarnation was incomplete. The vegetation had reincarnation, the sun, the moon and the stars had reincarnation, but all the spirits in the ancient world had no reincarnation.
The reason why Taoist ancestors said that the road to Hunyuan is broken is because the laws in the prehistoric era are incomplete, so no one can understand the complete laws and thereby achieve Taoism and become a saint.
If you want to become enlightened and don't have Hongmeng Purple Qi, you have to find a way to complete the law of reincarnation.
But at this moment, although Hou Tu Zuwu knew the road ahead, he didn't know how to do it and how to complete the law of reincarnation.
So the excitement was followed by disappointment.
Seeing Hou Tu's changing expression, Xuan Chen couldn't help but ask: "Zu Wu, are you okay?"
Hou Tu also came to his senses at this moment, and quickly suppressed the disappointment in his heart, and said: "I'm fine, but my Taoist friend's words made me suddenly realize that if I become enlightened in the future, I will be rewarded generously."
As he said this, he bowed to Xuanchen, but was stopped by Xuanchen. He couldn't bear to bow to him.
Soon, the news that Houtu Ancestral Witch had broken through to the late stage of Quasi-Saint reached the ears of the other eleven Ancestral Witches.
Many ancestral witches are very happy. Now, in addition to Di Jiang, another ancestral witch has entered the quasi-sage stage, and they will be even more confident in dealing with the demon clan in the future.
Only Xuanchen looked at the happy backs of many ancestral witches and fell into deep thought.
He knew the outcome of Hou Tu. Not only did Hou Tu's enlightenment not increase the chances of the Witch Clan's victory, but he was trapped in the underworld, which resulted in the loss of an ancestral witch's combat power among the Witch Clan, and also led to the loss of both sides in the final battle between the Lich and the Lich.
But if the Lich does not withdraw from the prehistoric stage, the human race will have no chance to rise.
On one side is the friendship of the Wu clan, on the other is the future of the human race. He doesn't know how to choose.
A few days later, Xuanchen and Zhao Gongming prepared to take Chi You back to Kunlun, but were stopped by Hou Tu Zuwu.
"Fellow Taoist, now that the lich has stopped fighting for the time being, I plan to travel around the wilderness. I wonder if you are willing to go with me."
The reason why Hou Tu did this was first to repay Xuan Chen for his advice. After all, without Xuan Chen's words, she would not have been able to understand the future. She is now in the late stage of Quasi-Sage, and Xuan Chen is only at the peak of Golden Immortal. So I want to find an opportunity for Xuan Chen.
After all, the prehistoric world was vast and boundless. As a quasi-sage, she might not have a useful opportunity, but it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a great blessing for a golden immortal.
The other was that she felt that Xuan Chen might be able to give him some inspiration and help her complete the law of reincarnation.
Xuanchen was also very surprised by Hou Tu's invitation. He understood Hou Tu's thoughts in a blink of an eye and readily agreed.
After all, following Hou Tu, not to mention anything else, a future authentic saint, the Lord of Reincarnation, will definitely gain some insights on his path to enlightenment, which cannot be exchanged for any amount of spiritual treasures and elixirs.
Therefore, Xuanyuan could only let Zhao Gongming lead Chi You back to Kunlun to become his disciple.
However, out of some inner thoughts, Xuanchen and Zhao Gongming borrowed the treasure money. It was not that Xuanchen wanted to use it himself, but to prepare it for the incarnation of Xuanyuan.
Although Demon Emperor Jun made the oath of heaven, Xuan Chen felt a little uneasy in his heart.
With his own efforts, when the demon clan slaughtered people, the human casualties were not as heavy as in the original history. But would Di Jun really give up so easily?
This isn't some deduction, it's just a whim.
Therefore, just in case, I borrowed the treasure money, hoping that if there is an accident, I can have more protection. After all, any spiritual treasure under the innate treasure can be lost with the treasure money. As long as it is not Donghuang Taiyi, under the saint, He was confident that he would capture the opponent's spiritual treasure.
Whether or not a tiger has a spiritual treasure is the same as whether a tiger has sharp claws and fangs. It will be much easier to deal with.
I have to say, sometimes it feels right.
At this moment, the Demon Saint Nine Infants have arrived at the Netherworld Blood Sea, asking to see the Ancestor Styx.
