Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

One of the characteristics of practitioners is that the areas they can observe will increase as their strength improves.

Mortals can only see the purely material world, except for various phenomena created by extraordinary beings, such as flames, strong winds, and air vibrated by energy. Apart from this, they cannot see any spiritual light or spiritual energy veins.

When the spiritual energy is turned on, one can occasionally hear spiritual sounds and see black and white phantoms of souls, but at most, it is only at the moment when the spiritual energy is the strongest. Just like Su Zhou did at the beginning, it was more like there was something wrong with his own spirit than extraordinary phenomena.

But practitioners at the awakening level have begun to truly see the truth of the world. Compared with ordinary people, they can see ghosts in the spiritual world, bright auras, and perceive various qualities of auras.

Practitioners at the extraordinary level can even see the flow of spiritual energy, the different radiance of different elements, and distinguish the different spiritual energy tracks left by different people - Su Zhou is special, he can see this at the awakening stage. .

The extraordinary beings at the command level can already be called demigods. They can see the essence of the soul, directly attack the soul of a living person, and see the whole picture of the spiritual world, truly understanding the dual intertwining nature of this world. A powerful leader can even see the path of the curse, follow the curse back in time, and attack the curser.

So, what unusual things can overlord-level practitioners, who were called immortals in the past, see?

Su Zhou originally thought that practitioners at the Overlord level could only see in more detail. For example, they could see the structure of the spiritual elements that make up the soul, and the process of transformation between elements. They could see the spiritual energy hidden in the seemingly grand. Under the violent waves, how does spiritual energy nourish people's souls, and how soulless creatures can also give birth to souls.

In other words, practitioners at the Overlord level can already use their own spiritual power to warm things without souls, causing them to open up and give birth to wisdom and give birth to life.

This power, which is close to creating life, is also a power unique to the overlord class.

But now, Su Zhou, who had taken a step further with his supernatural powers, found that he was wrong.

——The truly powerful Overlord level can see far more than these.

Just like now, when he saw the infinite gray fog in front of him, he found that his eyes reflected things he had never seen before.

It's like witnessing eternity.

The feeling at this moment was like a gray fire lighting up in a pitch-black void.

The dark gray fire shook the void, spreading out concentric ripples and spreading to everything.

In Su Zhou's eyes, the icy void in front of him had changed. The dazzling light of the world, the pioneering silver lines extending endlessly in the void, and the dust of the world floating in the great ashes area were all concentrically absorbed. Affected by the circular ripples, it twists and then begins to rotate, turning into identical concentric circles.

Finally, that's it...

Caught in ‘reincarnation’.

It was extremely huge, as if the spiritual sound that shook the infinite world came from it. It was the voice of countless true spirits chanting the true names at the same time.

At this moment, Su Zhou closed his stinging eyes, and purple blood and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and then he wiped them away.

And when he opened his eyes again, what the young man saw was just an extremely ordinary ordinary gray fog.

The time and space of the responder Su Zhou's return fluctuated, and the hazy gray mist emerged in the void. He shined with the light of reincarnation like concentric circles, projecting the will from the far side here.

"Huh... I can't believe that I actually communicated with this kind of existence in the past? Ignorant people are really fearless."

After taking a long breath, Su Zhou laughed. He stared at the gray mist that appeared in front of his eyes and said calmly: "How is it, Lord Ji, are you satisfied with my actions this time?"

【very good. Well done, you will be remembered by the children of Tartadis. 】

Mixed with rumbling spiritual sounds, it can be said to be soft, like a loving mother who has given birth to all things, and the voice that covers everything like the sky, all-inclusive, sounds from the other side of the void somewhere: "You are really suitable for me, as if Born to break the cycle of reincarnation...]

[However, I must admit that Chaos is also very suitable for you... However, I still have to say, aren't you going to join me? 】

In this regard, standing in the void, holding the scale of the gods in his hand, Su Zhou faced the great being who once again extended an olive branch in front of him. He was silent for a while at first, and then smiled easily: "No, Lord Ji, I don't know how. Join anyone.”

"In turn, whatever you want to do, I will do."

Stating so calmly, Su Zhou raised his head and looked directly at the gray fog in front of him. His eyes were bright, as if there were burning fire in his pupils: "Innovation - breaking the reincarnation - exploring the unknown in the distance - establishing a stable order - To find endless possibilities—and to exist, to exist with everything I care about.”

"I have to do all this."

【...Is this your choice? 】

The gray mist is hazy, and it rolls around, gathering, dispersing, and rejoining irregularly, but its gentle will still loudly resounds through the void: [Choose to admit all the things that are right? This may not necessarily be a road...]

"No, not just admitting everything."

Su Zhou shook his head and retorted calmly: "I also question everything."

Having said this, he raised his head, stretched out his hand, and pointed at the silver line in the frozen void that ran through the boundless void, which was the legacy left by the pioneer.

Su Zhou said seriously: "Just like the pioneer... Is the pioneer correct? Of course, if the curiosity and desire to explore everything are wrong, then what use does intelligent creatures need this wisdom?"

"But the unlimited urge for knowledge is the same as the unchosen sexual urge and the endless appetite - it is a purely physical instinct, an animal instinct!"

Speaking of this, Su Zhou showed an obvious look of displeasure, and then he turned to his companions: "Let's take Yala again. His chaos and doubts are undoubtedly the prelude to progress. More possibilities, without the reflection and competition brought by doubts, enterprising spirit cannot be burned.”

“If you have no goals, no program, or even questions and actions that you don’t know what you want, you are bound to end up in vain, or even fall into worse results.”

——Innovation requires a purpose, a program, and understanding of one's demands. When a person knows why he is fighting, he can do everything he can to move forward.

At this moment, Su Zhou was explaining his thoughts. Above his head, a blue-purple heavenly soul emerged, spinning and blooming with light reflected from countless perspectives. The young man said firmly: "Everything is correct. , all must be accepted. All mistakes must also be seen.”

"This is my right path and dharma - therefore, I will not join anyone, I will always be myself, even if it repeats life after life, reincarnation for thousands of lives, I will be the same."

And the hazy gray fog, after listening to Su Zhou's self-narration, calmly fluctuated for a moment.

Then, Shanzhu said gently: "So, what do you think of me?" 】

"...You may indeed love all existence, but reincarnation focuses too much on the 'accumulation of the past' and the 'end' in the distant future, while ignoring everything that people have now."

Su Zhou exhaled a long breath, frowned, and looked at the great existence in front of him. The young man did not consider his words, but told the truth: "If you can't guarantee it even now, who will fight from the heart and pay attention to it?" Future detachment?”

"If everyone yearns for the perfection of reincarnation in the next life and neglects the practice of this life, it will be difficult to grow into a truly strong person who does not need to care about reincarnation in the past and afterlife and can be respected in this life."

【very nice. 】

After listening to all Su Zhou's opinions, Lord Ji praised: "According to a mortal's perspective, it is indeed a correct view." 】

"A mortal's perspective?"

These words immediately made Su Zhou confused.

Although it is a bit excessive to say it, no matter what, Su Zhou, who has reached the Overlord level, cannot be called a mortal no matter what.

His perspective is essentially that of the immortals and gods of the past, even higher and further.

However, Lord Shanti's words were so simple and direct: "I was not wrong. 】

[Every truth and correctness you see comes from the 'now', and so do the standards of judgment - just like ordinary people who have never witnessed the past and the future at the same time. 】

[Let me give you an example. An ordinary person living a peaceful life is suddenly killed by a robber who breaks in one day. Who is good and who is evil on both sides of the incident? 】

"...You shouldn't have to choose, right?"

Hearing this, Su Zhou suddenly became confused: "Isn't it obvious? Of course, ordinary people are not wrong and they are kind."

【The light of day. 】

And hearing this, the Lord of Silence's voice was leisurely: [You have never seen it, how can you understand the depth of darkness at night? 】

[Child, your thinking about reincarnation is still very superficial, and the same goes for your thinking about other existences. 】

[If one day, no. You will definitely one day transcend time and space. 】

[At that time, under the eternal torrent of time, you will see that the innocent people in this life were pure evil people in the previous life, and the innocent people who were killed by evil people in the previous life will become evil people in this life and will pass away. After several reincarnations, all the villains who had oppressed him were killed in the same way. 】

[Without anyone’s help, the victim killed the perpetrator. This is the truth in the torrent - and who do you want to retaliate, punish, and punish with thunder and calamity? 】

Hearing this, Su Zhou was stunned.

But the voice of the Lord of Silence continues.

[Can the karma and karma that span the past and present lives be simply judged by good and evil? Isn’t everything a person does in his life repaying the cause and effect of his countless reincarnations in the past? 】

[Now it seems very clear what is good and what is evil. From a perspective that transcends time, doesn’t it conform to the response of reincarnation? 】

[This is just the simplest example. My child, real cause and effect, real reincarnation, is a huge system that is far more complex, complex and complete than it is today. You think that I don’t pay attention to the present, and value the past and the future too much, but you don’t know that everything in the present is... It is the result of countless reincarnations and the cause of reward. 】

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, Su Zhou didn't say anything and just remained silent for a long time.

He can come up with many ways to refute, such as saying that things will last forever, at least limiting the current perspective, xx is good and xx is evil, or setting a standard by himself... But this kind of argument What’s the point? Shanti Lord's communication with him was obviously not to distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong. He just used this simple example to tell himself a fact in good faith.

——That is, he is still far from correct.

Even the distance from being called an error is quite far away.

Therefore, after a long time, he nodded slightly: "Yes...it seems that I am indeed superficial. My view of the great existence may indeed be one-sided and labelled."

However, after saying this, Su Zhou also laughed, and he shrugged unconcernedly: "But it's not surprising - after all, I haven't grown up to the point where I have a perspective that transcends time. That's why, There is this gap in thinking.”

“As long as I get to that point, I might be able to find my ‘right’ answer.”

"Take one step at a time. I don't want to aim too high and try to reach the sky in one step... Thank you very much, Lord Shanti, for your guidance, which has once again broadened my horizons and guided me in the direction of progress."

And in the gray mist, there was also a wave of relief: [Can you...]

"Stop selling chicken soup - pay for it!"

But suddenly.

At some point, the red snake spirit that appeared on Su Zhou's shoulder interrupted Ji Zhu's next words with disdain.

He said with a rather bad attitude: "What are you still talking nonsense? Are you selling your messy and complicated system of causality and reincarnation that no one can understand? Come on, you don't even understand it yourself, right?"

"The most important thing is that according to your rules, he has transcended reincarnation twice in a row and come out of your world... This time, it's time to give him a benefit!"

The appearance of Yara brought the vicissitudes of life to a halt.

But soon, from the huge fluctuations in the gray mist, there were fluctuations in agreement with the promise.

[Indeed, since you have refused, I should not continue to say more. 】

[However, Su Zhou, you did pass my test, time and time again. 】

[In this case, then, you should be recognized as a person who transcends reincarnation. 】

At this moment, the gray fog dissipated——

Then, a rumbling roar suddenly came from the void, as if some invisible force was operating in the deep void. Deep in the darkness, layers of light lit up. They turned into huge gears, teeth meshed with each other, and rotated in the depths of nothingness, like reincarnations embedded in each other one after another.

Every time a gear rotates, it will drive the rotation of countless other gears. This intertwined reincarnation is the embodiment of cause and effect.

Standing in front of the dissipating gray fog, Su Zhou's eyes flashed with bright light. Even though he could endure the pain of death, he couldn't help but cry out in pain, because the illusion of endless rotating gears was reflected in the depths of his eyes. , manifesting a true and true shadow - one that transcends human life, transcends death, and even transcends the catastrophe of eternal reincarnation.

Huge power descended from the distant end of time and space, distorting the light of the world and spreading the fluctuations of the void. All the power spread under the young man's closed pupils and was engraved into an entity.

But soon, the pain subsided... No, rather, there was no pain from beginning to end, it was just the illusion of reincarnation. Once again, the young man slowly opened his eyes, and in his eyes flashing with purple light, you could vaguely see traces of the rotation of gears.

On the inside of the pupil, a rotating mark appeared.

Su Zhou raised his head and looked around, but could no longer see the shadow of Lord Ji.

However, the vast and gentle voice, as vast as the universe, still resounds in the void.

[I look forward to the day when you will stand high, higher. 】

[You brought my child the hope of transcending reincarnation, and left behind the soul sword that belonged to you. In this case, I will also give you the corresponding power... The power and mark that is enough to see through the cause and effect will reside in your eyes, allowing you to see clearly the trajectory of reincarnation, the ownership of destiny, and the buds of the future. 】

[I hope you can see a clearer reality and find your correctness through this... This is the highest blessing I can give. 】

——Seal of Reincarnation, Gideon——

The will of the Lord of Silence quietly dispersed.

In the void, the young man was silent. After a long time, he raised his head, looked around at the void, and chuckled: "Yara, tell me, can I consider this a success?"

"Of course... we have finally achieved one of our goals."

And Yala let out a long breath, lay on Su Zhou's shoulder, wrapped his tail around the young man's upper arm, and then nodded with satisfaction: "Finally, this guy Ji Zhu completely recognized our plan... He I have given you the Seal of Reincarnation, which is a unique blessing that only His 'highest dependent' can have!"

"Finally, part of the future of this multiverse is included in the 'possibilities' we guide."

Su Zhou didn't respond. He just felt the sudden surge of power in his body and the sudden hot touch from the god scale in his hand.

That power was so ethereal that he was far from being able to touch and grasp it now... The power of the Overlord level was only able to observe the lowest bottom line of that power. If you want to truly utilize it, you may need to stand at a higher place.

The approval of the Lord of Silence.

This recognition is enough to calm down the fluctuations and disturbances originating from 'reincarnation' in the multiverse, allowing the great seal to persist for several more years or even nearly ten years...and this may be Yara's. Purpose?

"...Go on, Yara."

At the end, Su Zhou raised his head and looked in the direction of the earth. The young man's eyes were bright and his tone was calm: "Let us return to Earth first."

"After this trip is over and I have examined the mistakes in my heart, I have so many things I want to do - I can't help but want to go back as soon as possible and sort everything out."

"Then let's go."

And Yara responded calmly, the snake spirit wrapped around the young man's arm, and looked at the other side of the void with him.

"The first step in a long journey is only just beginning."

And behind him, in the shining world of reincarnation, gradually, there was such a chant.

——Holy! Praise be to the Immortal God of Judgment!

He ends the trajectory of reincarnation, destroys doomed destiny, and protects future births.

His light, glory and faith are with us.

As long as we always have faith, we will be at peace even in death.

…
