Half an hour later.
When Sima Liu woke up from his coma, he immediately discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with his soul, as if it was bound by something, and it was constantly being penetrated.
He was startled for a moment.
Although he had been seriously injured before, and suffered a lot of mental damage later, and his body and mind were greatly shocked, how could he be a master of the mortal level, and a master of the mortal level who was protected by demigods, how could he suddenly be People control?
What exactly is going on?
And just when he was full of doubts, suddenly, the voice without joy or sorrow sounded beside him again, "Are you awake?"
Hearing that voice, Sima Liu couldn't help but come back to his senses. He didn't pay attention at first, but then he discovered that after hearing the voice, he couldn't help but want to surrender and worship, as if he had seen himself. The same name as the ever-faithful God.
He was startled and tried his best to restrain the desire from the depths of his soul. But the desire seemed too strong for him to resist. And that desire didn't forcefully press his head and bow down, but quietly changed his mind in a gentle and silent way. This made him frightened.
So he asked with a trembling voice, "You, who are you?"
At this time, Fang Ze, who was hiding aside, also noticed Sima Liu's situation.
To be honest, he was also shocked.
He had always thought that his ability was immediate and directly mandatory. Who knew that it would actually change with the level of strength and willpower?
However, judging from Sima Liu's current situation, Tuo Moran level should not be able to resist his ability, but it will only take a little longer.
Thinking like this, Fang Ze stalled for time and said slowly, "I told you, the name is just a code name. You can call me Lord Devil, or you can call me Lord."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Sima Liu deliberately wanted to resist, but when the words came to his lips, he seemed to be unable to control his mouth, and he stumbled and shouted, "Your Majesty."
This feeling of being forcibly controlled immediately gave rise to boundless fear in Sima Liu's heart. He struggled even more inside, trying not to be brainwashed by this terrifying ability.
At this time, Fang Ze, who was hiding in the dark, did not disturb him, but regarded him as a good observation object, quietly observing Sima Liu's inner activities.
Perhaps because there was no stimulation from Fang Ze's voice, Sima Liu's resistance gradually weakened a lot, and his mind began to have uncontrollable thoughts, guessing Fang Ze's identity and judging the current situation.
Now that things have come to this, if he doesn't guess that he has been tricked by the mysterious person in front of him, then he would be a fool.
And because Fang Ze had turned off the emotional guidance of [Emotional Snake], Sima Liu's brain became more rational, which also allowed him to discover more details that he had not noticed before.
For example... Although the other party said before that he had no plans against him, looking at it now, it was obvious that he had been designing him from the beginning.
For example... Now that he thought about it, his previous emotions were very abnormal. Although he was seriously injured and suffered a lot of mental torture at the time, he was not to the point of trusting just anyone who showed up.
For example... there must be something wrong with that game. Although he is not a strong-willed person, he will not be addicted to a game when he sees it.
And that game was obviously tampered with: it was very normal during the game, but it would fail at every critical moment. Let him see hope, but never get it.
After analyzing like this, he gradually became certain that he must have fallen into the trap of the mysterious man in front of him. The mysterious man in front of him is probably a psychic master, so that he can be guided and controlled silently.
When analyzing this, a serious problem arises: he is a vassal of the demigods and is protected by the demigods. Demigods are the highest-ranking creatures in the world. In theory, their vassals are invulnerable to all attacks except spells cast by creatures of the same level as demigods.
Therefore, the identity of the person in front of him can be easily revealed: he must be a top demigod-level elder.
The only uncertainty is whether he is a human demigod or an alien demigod.
After Sima Liu thought for a moment, he was more inclined to think it was the latter.
Just after analyzing this, Sima Liu couldn't help but feel despair in his heart: because after discovering this fact, he found that it was almost impossible for him to get rid of the control of the mysterious demigod in front of him.
First of all, he is being assimilated rapidly and gradually begins to obey this mysterious demigod. Afterwards, this mysterious demigod will definitely give him a hush-hush order. It is impossible for him to take the initiative to expose his identity to the Federation and the Sima family.
Secondly, as he said before, after being protected by demigods, he is invulnerable to all attacks. Therefore, if he does not take the initiative to confess his identity, the Federation and the Sima family will not be able to find out that he is controlled through conventional detection. Understand.
Finally, the Federation does not seem to have a way to eliminate the mind control of demigods, so even if he exposes the fact that he is being controlled, he will most likely be imprisoned or even humanely destroyed...
Thinking like this, he suddenly realized that if he wanted to live, it seemed that he could only go to the dark side...
Thinking of this, Sima Liu's "loyalty" to Fang Ze began to rise linearly. His head began to lower gradually, and his back began to slowly bend...
At the same time, Fang Ze, who was reading Sima Liu's heart the whole time, couldn't help blinking his eyes, his eyes full of deep thought.
Because he is actually very curious: Are these thoughts of Sima Liu his true thoughts, or are [personal deprivation] thoughts controlling him and guiding his birth?
Because, from the perspective of Fang Ze, a bystander, Sima Liu was indeed miraculously changed from resisting at the beginning to gradually accepting himself, and also began to become more and more loyal...
This change is simply too magical!
After observing carefully for a while, Sima Liu finally thought it through and made his decision. He knelt down on one knee and lowered his proud head toward the void, "Sima Liu pays homage to the Lord."
Fang Ze in the void didn't speak for a long time, and Sima Liu just kept kneeling there.
After two or three minutes, Fang Ze slowly said, "Get up."
"Don't worry, as long as you follow me well, I won't treat you badly."
After casually drawing a pie, Fang Ze took back his emotions and thoughts and decided to get down to business. He slowly asked, "Tell me about the information about the Sima family."
After hearing Fang Ze's words, Sima Liu stood up, bowed and said, "Yes. Your Majesty."
With absolute loyalty, Sima Liu didn't hide anything and told the Sima family's situation in detail.
It is similar to the official information of the Sima family that Fang Ze knows. The Sima family is one of the two giants in Yunlan Prefecture. Their demigod is a demigod who ascends to heaven.
In addition to this demigod who ascended to heaven, the Sima family also had two ascending to heaven level and twelve descending to mortal level.
In the Ascending Heaven Rank, there is one person who is a bloodline of the Sima family, and is also the heir who can inherit the mantle of the demigod at any time. The other one was a vassal of the Sima family and a former comrade-in-arms of the demigod.
Among the twelve mortals, only four are from the Sima family's bloodline, and the other eight are vassals.
According to Sima Liu, the demigods of the Sima family seemed to have suspected from the beginning that having too many heirs would lead to poor luck and a collective decline in strength, so they have always intended to control the number of offspring.
This caused the Sima family to be unhappy, but at the same time, they had a lot of talented people.
However, even so, when it comes to Sima Jin's grandson, the Sima family can still see its decline. Sima Jin is already the strongest, but in his thirties, he is only at the Huayang level. He is expected to become mortal in this life, but it is almost impossible to reach the Ascension level.
The basic ability of the Sima family is very strange, called [Anger], which is a very strong martial arts awakening ability. It is said that the angrier they are, the stronger their strength will be, and can even produce one or two changes, which will greatly increase their original strength.
This also led to people in the Sima family never hiding their emotions and acting in an arrogant, domineering and lawless manner. In addition to their own strength, this is also because they deliberately make their mood extremely smooth at ordinary times.
In this way, once a battle breaks out, as long as they give in to the enemy, they will become extremely irritable and angry, thus doubling their strength.
Normally, such a style of conduct should be ostracized by the federation or various companies. But perhaps because of such a straightforward temperament, the federation intentionally or unintentionally supported the Sima family to suppress the Zeng family in Yunlan Prefecture. This also further developed the lawless character of the Sima family.
After listening to Sima Liu's explanation, Fang Ze finally understood why Sima Jin was so arrogant and domineering: He would dare to attack other nobles in other states and capitals! Sure enough everything happens for a reason.
But this also sounded the alarm for Fang Ze: he had now offended the Sima family, and even arrested two senior members of the Sima family, one old and one young. If other noble families encountered this kind of thing, they might try to solve the problem first, and then take revenge slowly.
But with the way the Sima family behaves, they might really come to the door directly. It's even possible for a demigod to come in person...
Fang Ze couldn't help but feel secretly in his heart.
Demigod...the pinnacle of martial arts in this world.
Um. I also have one at home. Do not care.
Of course, there are definitely differences between demigods in their heyday and demigods who just have their souls descended and are on the verge of death, so Fang Ze feels that he still has to be fully prepared and increase his strength and power as soon as possible!
With this in mind, Fang Ze asked Sima Liu for other information, and then quietly brought the topic to the promotion of the Huayang level to the Tuimort level.
Sima Liu was obviously not suspicious: in other words, he was now completely loyal to Fang Ze and didn't think much about it at all. Therefore, he introduced in detail the method and process of raising the Huayang level to the Tuomort level.
According to his introduction, Huayang Stage is completely different from other realms. If other realms are the cultivation of [force], then Huayang Stage is the cultivation of [heart].
After reaching the Huayang stage, the awakened person can no longer only focus on cultivation strength, but must perfect his mind bit by bit to make his mind completely perfect: this is the first small realm of the Huayang stage [Fuque] .
Then, when the soul is complete, the awakened person needs to find his own heart and transform into the prototype of his own Dharma: This is the second small realm of Huayang Stage [True Nature].
After the Dharma is born, the awakened person needs to provide spiritual power to the Dharma over many years, nurture it little by little, and eventually become a terrifying force that can be released to the outside world. Strictly speaking, from the time when the Dharma is conceived until the Dharma is completely formed and can be borrowed for a short period of time, it all belongs to the third small realm of Huayang level [Ling Yun].
Therefore, transforming yang and transforming yang actually transform not only your own body, but also the physical form.
As for how to break through to the mortal stage after reaching the peak of Huayang, Fang Ze also got a reasonable and unexpected answer from Sima Liu: rely on special heavenly materials and earthly treasures to break through!
It is said that when an awakened person has cultivated his Dharma to the extreme, he needs something called [Fading Fruit] to transform his Dharma and completely integrate the Dharma with his body and soul. From then on, he will fade away from the mortal world and achieve extraordinary things.
And this kind of [Fading Mortal Fruit] only grows in a Jedi in the spiritual world. That Jedi is very strange. In the past, all living beings would have their personalities cut off, leaving only their original strength.
In other words, if the demigod of Tuofan dies, his strength will drop directly to Tuifan. If the demigod of Dengtian dies, his strength will drop directly to that of Dengtian. If the demigod of Juebian dies, his strength will drop directly to Juebian. All of them will no longer exist. Enjoy the bonus of personality.
Due to some special reasons in the area where the [Tianfanguo] grows, only ascending to the Heavenly Stage can guarantee one's safety. Going to the Tuamian Stage almost narrowly escaped death.
Therefore, this has also led to several phenomena in the current federation.
1. The Federation and various noble families can strictly control the birth of the mortal class. People, families, and forces who don't know the method to fade away, don't know the area, and don't have the channels to fade away the mortal fruit will always be stuck in the Huayang stage.
2. Anyone who can become a mortal is the confidant of the federation or the nobles of various families, and they are also the top combat power in the family.
3. The family of a mortal demigod is extremely weak. Because they are unable to obtain the Fafan Fruit on their own, their strength is significantly different from that of other companies, and they are more susceptible to the control of the federation. This is also the fundamental reason why the federation has grown in power over the years and has taken control of most states.
After learning about this method, Fang Ze finally understood why Hei Niu seemed to be very talented, but was stuck at the peak of Huayang for more than ten years, unable to move an inch.
I also understand why the remaining masters of the Si family can only reach Huayang level.
The road to transcendence in this world is filled with bumps every step of the way!
And when he thought about the few Huayang Peaks in his family who were waiting for food, Fang Ze couldn't help but have a headache: Could it be that... these masters in his family would be stuck at the Huayang Peak forever?
Moreover, the trouble with this matter is that if they cannot get the Tuafan Fruit, not only them, but also themselves will likely be stuck in the Tuafan Stage in the future.
With this in mind, he asked Sima Liu again. After confirming that there was no missing important information, Fang Ze first used the [Faith Transaction] ability on Sima Liu. After confirming that he could contact him at any time as a devil, he asked again. He was not allowed to reveal or hint about his existence to the outside world. Only then did Fang Ze unlock his link.
Fang Ze wanted to make good use of Sima Liu. After all, his devil's cult is developing faster and faster, and I believe it will encounter many problems soon. With such an expert sitting in secret, he can calm down a lot of things and at the same time shock a lot of people's attention!
While thinking about this, Fang Ze also restored the late-night investigation room to its original appearance, and then he came to the table while mumbling, "Tiafanguo, Tiafanguo... Where can I get Tiafanguo." , prepare to check out tonight’s harvest.
Having completely controlled Sima Liu tonight and obtained so much valuable information from him, Fang Ze believed that there would be a good harvest.
Thinking this, he looked at the desk where the harvest was placed.
At this time, there was a finger-sized, jade-like thing like a crescent moon placed on the desk. It looks like a pendant.
"Pendant? Is it some extraordinary treasure?"
Thinking this, Fang Ze curiously reached out and picked up the pendant, wanting to identify what it was.
A minute later, a simple piece of information appeared in Fang Ze's mind out of thin air.
Fang Ze read the message nonchalantly at first, but for a moment, he was stunned.
"What?"
"Tianfanguo?!"
Fang Ze lowered his head and looked at the thing in his hand that had nothing to do with "fruit", "How the hell does this look like food?"
"Is it the real crunchy, crumbling flesh and blood flavor?"
After ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart, Fang Ze suddenly realized belatedly: Hey... he actually got a Fading Mortal Fruit. Does that mean that he can choose someone to advance to the Fading Mortal Stage? ?
hiss? The second mortal master? And it’s the kind that can be put on the bright side? ?
Fang Ze was a little surprised for a moment!
Anyway, if others ask, you can just say that it was left by the Si family? This is a good way to go!
Look, once upon a time, if I wanted to be a good person, I would just remember the domain name:
