Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2188
[Chapter 701 The Ceremony of Life and Death in the Netherworld]
Emperor Fengdu did not answer directly, but asked: “What do you think of these gods?”
Zu An pondered: “Gods, of course they are immortal, omniscient and omnipotent…”
“Wrong,” Emperor Fengdu interrupted at this time He said, “First, although gods have long lives and are indeed immortal compared to mortals, they are not as immortal as ordinary people think. Although their lifespans are long, they still have an end. You have a word in the world called heavenly beings. “Five declines” is not very accurate, but it does mean that when gods reach the end of their lives, they will also have various signs of decline. This is why the elixir is so precious in the world. ”
Zu An took it. Surprised: “Elixir of death is also useful for gods?”
“Of course,” Emperor Fengdu replied, “For example, some of the legendary Yao Chi flat peaches, ginseng fruits, fruits of Eden, etc. in your human world are all elixirs. In fact, gods Some extremely powerful people or other types of life forms, or even some nebulae or collections of abstract consciousness can become gods. They are so powerful that they can create or destroy the world, and they often become gods in the minds of all living beings
. An’s pupils tightened when he heard this. He didn’t expect that even a being like Nebula could become a god.
In fact, it’s not surprising when you think about it. Aren’t the Twenty-Eight Constellations characters in ancient Chinese mythology? But at the time, I thought they were just some gods in charge of each constellation. Now it seems that those gods are just the incarnations of those stars.
At this time, Emperor Fengdu continued: “In addition, the second mistake you just made is that no god is truly omniscient and omnipotent. Although each god has its own magical powers and knows a lot of information, they cannot be called omniscient and omnipotent in the true sense, because There are more than hundreds of millions of supernatural powers in the world. There are always other beings of the same level who can cover up some secrets and make some mistakes in their judgment. This is also the reason why the Great Dao is fifty and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine. No matter what the situation is, there will always be a glimmer of hope. Reason, you must keep this principle in mind, it should be able to help you in the future.”
Zu An felt moved. No wonder he always felt that prophecies and fate were mysterious in the past, but he didn’t want to completely believe in those fates. The outcome could really change…
Emperor Fengdu added: “Although the Three Purities are powerful, the Emperor of Heaven and the Buddha have jointly planned it. It is not difficult to hide from them in a short time. After all, mortals know that one day in the sky is one year on the earth. After many years in the human world, the heaven may also be Just a moment passed.”
Zu An asked curiously: “Is what you call heaven in a black hole? Otherwise, why would there be such an exaggerated time comparison?”
He thought of some science fiction movies he watched in his previous life, such as “Interstellar”, where the protagonist and his party The people were only delayed for most of a day on a planet around the black hole, but after returning to the spacecraft in orbit, their companions had been waiting for them for decades. It was because of the different gravity that the time flow rate was different in various locations.
“Black hole?” Emperor Fengdu laughed dumbly. “That’s what some technological civilizations say. In fact, it’s just some special worlds. When you are strong enough in the future, you can go and see it yourself.”
Zu An’s heart was filled with excitement at this time, and he became more and more curious about the outside world . world.
Suddenly something came to mind and he asked:
“I have met some Heavenly Emperors in other secret realms before. Although I have never seen them personally, I have heard many rumors. I don’t know if that Heavenly Emperor is the same as the Heavenly Emperor in this world. ”
When he was in the secret realm of the Xia Dynasty, he came into contact with some ancient myths. There was also a heaven there, and there were even several heavenly emperors in the legend. The various lineages seemed quite confusing, and he was a little confused about who was the real emperor.
“It’s normal for you to have such doubts, because the current generation of Heaven is not the first generation of Heaven.” Emperor Fengdu looked solemn, “Like the human empire, Heaven will also face wars, power seizures, dynasty changes, and losers. Gradually it dissipated, and new victors took their place. This happened several times over the course of countless years.”
“Of course, it’s not always a life-and-death struggle. There are also situations where both sides compromise and coexist. For example, I was the absolute master of the Netherworld Underworld, but then Ksitigarbha came, and none of us could do anything to the other, so we reached a certain kind of agreement. Balance and compromise, Ksitigarbha recognizes my status as the Supreme Being of the Netherworld, and I allow Ksitigarbha to hold lectures and save the souls of the dead.”
Zu An was shocked when he heard this, thinking of the news that Hei Wuchang mentioned before: “You and I. Ksitigarbha should be the two indescribable beings above the five ghost emperors.”
“Yes,” Emperor Fengdu nodded slightly, “but you must not mention these names after leaving my special space. It will bring you great disaster.”
“I know.” This was not the first time that Zu An was reminded like this. At this time, his heart was filled with confusion. It turned out that all my old friends existed at this level. Who was I in my “previous life”? Woolen cloth.
“Knowing too much when a creature is too weak will not do any good, it will only bring unwarranted disasters,” Emperor Fengdu said in a deep voice, “That’s all I can tell you. There are many things that you need to do yourself in the future. Experience and explore.”
Zu An was used to this and couldn’t help but smile: “Well, what’s the reward after I pass the test this time? Since we are old friends, you can’t fool me.”
“This temper of not being able to suffer any loss has not changed.” While Emperor Fengdu was speaking, a book suddenly appeared in his hand. The book was extremely dark, and there seemed to be rolling clouds and mist on it. From a distance, one could feel the extremely rich aura of death, and at the same time there was a force of life.
For two completely opposite attributes to exist in such a harmonious and unified way on the same object is beyond the scope of Zaun’s understanding.
At this time, Emperor Fengdu gave a gentle push, and the book flew in front of Zu An. Countless clouds and mist rolled across the open pages, and various images flickered inside. Zu An could see every corner of the Netherworld, and even every dead soul.
“This is the “Grand Ceremony of Life and Death in the Netherworld”. The one who holds this object is the master of the Netherworld Underworld. From now on, your words are the will of the Netherworld Underworld.”
Zu An was taken aback: “I can’t accept such a valuable thing, let alone Now, you gave me this thing, what will you do?”
Emperor Fengdu sighed at this time: “Old friend, can’t you see that I have actually fallen away a long time ago, and now I am just a trace of regret. That’s all, I feel relieved
after giving this thing to you.” Zu An was really shocked: “You are the master of the underworld, and you will also fall?”
When ordinary creatures die, their souls return to the underworld. Wouldn’t he return to his own territory after his death?
How could such a being die?
Emperor Fengdu smiled calmly: “Didn’t I tell you just now that gods are mortal, and I am no exception. I am very happy now. As predicted, you successfully came to me and won this trial. I am more and more confident that you will be able to change your destiny and defeat those real enemies.”
Zu An suddenly felt uneasy: “Who are the real enemies you are talking about?”
Emperor Fengdu shook his head slightly. , did not explain, but said: “Old friend, come have another drink with me.”
For some reason, Zu An felt a kind of sadness about life and death at this time. He knew that the remaining soul of the other party was probably going to disappear completely, so Instead of disturbing the other party, he poured wine for him and saw him off.
The two of them clinked their wine glasses together, and Emperor Fengdu suddenly remembered something: “By the way, I used this technique to hide the secrets of heaven. Although I have given you the “Ceremony of Life and Death in the Netherworld”, there are still a few old friends waiting for you outside. , you have to defeat them and go through the cutscenes, I guess this shouldn’t be a problem for you.”
