Beyond the Divine States Chapter 457: : Speaking of crimes
The sinner sits on the ground, the crow feathers in the black robes are like burnt ashes. His long pointed fingers are his pen, and the complicated spells are being drawn on the fingertips.
Ning Changjiu also sat down in front of him, staring at the symbol drawn by the sinner.
It is a circle, and in the center of the circle are two twined, embryo-like humans, full of fangs, with lizard-like tails growing.
"What is this?" Ning Changjiu asked.
The sinner replied: "This is the sin of mankind."
Ning Chang thought for a while, and said: "In a certain creation myth, the ancestors of mankind violated the supreme divine emperor, so mankind thereafter, from birth to death is a process of atonement. People because He is guilty, so he will definitely die, but man can never redeem his sins, so death is an inevitable result."
The sinner temporarily stopped the hand of the talisman and said: "Do you believe this statement?"
Ning Changjiu shook his head and said, "I think it's ridiculous."
Sin Jun Dao: "I used to believe in this."
Ning Changjiu said: "I would like to hear the details."
The gray mist under the black robe was tumbling, and the crow feathers kept withering, and those feathers turned into real crows. They flew to the top of the temple, shouting loudly, and scenes of dark scenes emerged in the temple. image.
That was the experience before the sinner became a god.
The picture is a gloomy forest. In the depths of the forest, there is a simple tower made of stones. On the tower, the full moon casts a miserable white light.
This forest is called the corpse forest. It is located in a large rift valley. The remains of the corpses produced by the earthly demon wars will be thrown into this rift valley, and the animals in the corpse forest will feed on these corrupt flesh and blood.
Although the poisonous miasma is full of plagues here, life is also born from this damp and dirty crack.
They are snakes, insects, centipedes, and rusty mice running around.
Many of these humble lives at the lowest level have also given birth to spiritual wisdom. Some of them climbed out of the Great Rift Valley and went to the chaotic world. Most of them survived in the rift valley, and threw them on the wall. The corpse feeds on.
Tonight is the night of the full moon, and all the lives in the corpse forest converge towards the central stone tower.
A crow stood on the stone tower.
The crow was very big and looked more like a vulture. Its hair had fallen off a lot, and its flesh and blood had rotted and caused sores. The crow's green bean-like eyes stared at the corpse forest steadily. It looked at the cold creatures that gathered and nodded.
Today is the night of the full moon, and as usual, the crow will perform the ceremony here.
"You have been born with heavy sins."
The crow brought himself a crown made of black copper and began to talk about it once a month.
"You are the lives born in the corpse forest, feeding on decaying corpses, these corpses nourish you, and the corpses are stained with sin—I told you before that death and sin are connected , The guilty one will inevitably die, and the pure body can gain eternal life."
"If you feed on the corpses of sins, you are also contaminated with their sins, and you cannot be detached from eternal life."
Under the stone tower, there was a commotion.
A little mouse walked out tremblingly and asked, "Master Wu, where did the crime of these corpses come from?"
The crow monster cried and said, "Their sin is inherent!"
"Inborn?"
"Yes, in the ancient times, the ancestors of all spirits violated the supreme **** emperor, and they committed crimes, so their descendants will have to atone for them for life after life, and they will be called the one who made the sins. Saints, they will be immortal and immortal, and become a perfect existence like a **** emperor, while creatures who cannot atone for their sins will be erased by death."
The sharp tone of the crow spread throughout the corpse forest, and no one of the creatures dared to speak, as if they were repenting for their inherent sins.
The little mouse asked again: "The newborn babies are extremely pure, are they guilty? If not, according to your statement, won't they directly become immortal saints?"
The crow stared at the little mouse. It was a little angry, but in full view, it suppressed the anger in its heart and explained it patiently.
The crow said: "Sin is a river that has been passed down from the ancestors to the present. The children are the flesh cut off from the mother. Of course, they inherit the mother's corrupt body. How can a filthy life give birth to a pure spirit? What young spirits have is hypocritical innocence and kindness. When they have power, they will show their inherent sins! What's more, many young spirits die after birth. According to the will of the **** emperor. The innocent life is immortal, and the young spirits will die, which just shows that they are burdened with sin!"
The little mouse was glared at by the crow and shrank back in fright. It couldn’t refute the crow’s words. It felt that a filthy life really couldn’t give birth to a pure spirit, just as it had imagined the appearance of a **** emperor, but it was so humble. His life can't imagine the existence of a perfect **** emperor.
The crow looked around and found that no one refuted it. It was satisfied and began to continue preaching.
In the mouth of the crow, the spirits of creatures are immortal, and the flesh is the punishment of the **** emperor to the ancestors of all souls, and it is the thing that carries sins. The spirits control the cumbersome body to walk in the world, and the rest of the life is atonement. the process of.
The **** emperor was compassionate to all living beings, and when he was punished by death, he also created a path of atonement—cultivation.
Practice can prolong life and delay the arrival of death, so it can be considered as the only way to atone for sins. Crows have wings. They have been to the outside world to see them. They know that monks like to live on mountains, and they do so. In order to stay away from the dirty world, keep the body clean.
Someone asked cautiously: "But we have already carried so many sins, and we can't wash it away in our lifetime, what should we do?"
The crow is quite satisfied with this question.
It finally began to express its core concept: "The **** emperor bestows the power of cultivating all spirits to atone for their sins, but what are the creatures outside doing? They are killing each other! Killing is the greatest sin, and the creatures have violated it. After the will of the **** emperor, they have no repentance and are still continuing their heinous crimes. The **** emperor does not like this world."
The crow took off the black copper crown and said: "Last night, I dreamed of the **** emperor. I can hardly describe its perfection to you. The **** emperor gave me two things, the same is the black bronze crown, and The same is this pure bottle!"
The crow told them that this black copper crown is the incarnation of sin. When the sin is paid for, it will become the texture of gold, and this pure bottle can contain all pure souls. It will be sanctified and then brought Let them go to the kingdom of eternal life, and all they need to do is to believe in it.
For the next period of time, every full moon night, the crow will fly with a head, and it tells them that this is the head of the leader of the tribe outside, the head of sin.
It put a black copper crown on the head of the sinner, and everyone can clearly see that the black copper crown sucked black blood from the head like a sponge.
This kind of time has passed for a long time. Every time a head is brought back, the crow will tell how powerful the owner of the head is, but they have committed crimes because of the killing, and they are commissioned by heaven, so they can easily kill them. died.
The lives of the corpse forest have never seen the outside world, and they are far less powerful than the crows, so over time, their curiosity about the world and worship of power makes them believe in the words of the crows. Very few do not. Those who believed were all burned to death in public by crows.
The crows also sell their feathers to them. It is said that eating their feathers can redeem part of their sins. The exchange of feathers was the inner alchemy and flying sword found in the corpse.
A few years later, the skulls of bones were piled up under the stone tower. All living creatures believe in crows as the holy son, and the crows have swallowed their power of faith, and they are getting bigger and bigger.
Even the vacillating little mouse, after several years of baptism, is convinced of the crows. It believes that the crow **** is a saint who can lead them to eternal life.
Another full moon night.
At this time, the crow is already taller than the stone tower.
Tonight, it held back a head. It was a human head. The crow told them that this is the king of mankind. It has been killed by it. All the evil heads outside have been killed. Tonight, it will be holy. , Lead everyone to the kingdom of the **** emperor.
The life in the corpse forest enthusiastically gathered around it, cheering like a mountain whirling and a tsunami.
The purification ritual is very simple, that is, burning. The flame will burn away their sinful flesh, leaving only a pure and immortal soul.
The crows have been describing with them the joy of returning the soul to the kingdom of heaven after the body is burned, and the beauty of the kingdom of God, so everyone is full of expectations for burning such a thing, and they don’t think there is anything wrong with them. They are grateful. The crow bestows them wisdom and leads them out of this rift valley that never sees the sun.
The fire ignited, and the little mouse squeezed into the crowd. At the moment when it saw the fire burning, it suddenly felt sober, but it was so sober that it was quickly overwhelmed by the fanatical and neat slogans and cheers of all the surrounding creatures. .
It can't make any sound, it can only cheer along with them.
The flame began to burn from the edge, the life of the arthropods was crackling in the flame, and the soul was stripped from the flesh, flew into the crow's bottle, and turned into liquid.
The crow stared at the bottle, praying to the gods in a bit of thought, his expression also extremely enthusiastic.
The flame spread towards the center, many creatures have passed out in a coma, and the little mouse's mana is not bad, and it is barely supported.
Just when this grand baptism is about to be completed, the life in the corpse forest is about to be purified by the **** emperor in the holy scripture.
The sudden change!
On the cliff next to the corpse forest, a monster jumped down.
It was a blue-gray wolf, with something in its mouth, and it was running wildly.
It's on the run!
The gray wolf ignored this sacred ceremony and ran towards here.
The crow looked at it in horror, and in the name of the **** emperor, it began to rebuke it loudly.
But the gray wolf ignored it. It leaped forward, stepped directly on the saint child supported by all spirits, stomped its body into a smash, and then kept moving forward.
The crow was trampled on the stomach.
This is an unforgettable scene for Little Mouse.
It has deeply remembered the appearance of the gray wolf. It has never seen such a powerful creature. This is how the great saint son was affected by it...
The little mouse was in his throat, and then a few more black shadows fell from the high cliff.
They rushed past, stepped on the fire that was encircled and suppressed, and killed countless lives.
A life as powerful as a giant wolf is actually being chased by other life!
They trampled past here.
These powerful beings are purely chasing and passing by, and don't care what they are doing or their life or death.
This is a disaster.
Powerful lives come and go, leaving corpses all over the field.
The little mouse survived miraculously. It looked around, and the smell of burnt smell came out of its nose, and its hands were also covered with blood plasma exploded from being trampled to death by a companion. It retched for a long time before getting up and walking forward in a muddled manner.
The crow whose body was trampled on was not completely dead.
It uses its wings to prop up itself and crawls in the muddy plasma, a little closer to the clean bottle.
Most of the soul liquid in the net bottle was overturned, and now only a little bit is left.
It saw the little mouse coming, and said with difficulty: "Bring it...give me...drink!"
"Yes, Saint Son." The little mouse obediently picked up the bottle and moved to its mouth.
The crow saw a ray of light. It stretched out its beak with difficulty to drink water, but its mouth was stuck in the mouth of the bottle, and it couldn't touch the soul liquid at the bottom anyway.
The crow has red eyes, anxious and angry.
The little mouse sat down cross-legged and said: "Master Saint Son, this is not like the story you told us before, the crow drinking water."
The crow opened its mouth wide, and asked hoarsely: "You...what are you going to do?"
"Don't worry, I will help Master Shengzi." The little mouse was still humble. He took the pebbles from the ground and threw them into the bottle.
The crow stretched out its beak again, but it could only touch the hard rock. The water was hidden in the cracks of the rock, and it still couldn't drink.
The little mouse looked at the wreckage all over the floor, and slowly said: "The stories are all deceptive, Lord Son, ignorance is the sin..."
The crow couldn't bear it. It wanted to poke it to death with its mouth, but the mouse avoided it deftly.
The little mouse drank the soul water in the bottle, and then put the crown on his head.
Looking at the crow, he went down to the first trial in his life one by one: "You are guilty."
……
"The black copper crown and the cleansing bottle are precious artifacts. One can draw the power of faith, just like the golden body of the **** of mountains and water, and the other can refine the souls and refine them into pure and powerful spirits. It’s a pity that this crow is only one step away from the five realms."
The Lord of Sin raised his hand, and the pictures faded.
Ning Changjiu and others also looked back.
He looked at the sinner and said: "You didn't believe in original sin at that time. What are you trying to judge now?"
Sin Jundao: "After that, I suddenly gained strong power. I ate the crows, climbed out of the cliff, and entered the earthly war. For a long time, I sneered at the original sin. I believe in the principle that man can conquer the sky, but now I believe that man has the original sin."
Ning Changjiu asked: "Why?"
Sin King said: "Because human beings need to survive, survival is the most powerful desire of living beings, and all other desires are based on survival. Survival is the source of sin! In order to survive better, living beings will definitely do Squeezing the survival of other creatures, since the birth of life, killings and disputes have never stopped-this is the best proof."
Ning Changji thought about it for a while and said: "This is something that cannot be changed, so wise creatures have established morals and rules."
The sinner shook his head and said: "It's useless. Life cannot suppress the desire for survival. Even in a certain order, it is still unavoidable to oppress each other. The winner will become the oppressor, and the loser will become the oppressed. The winner has the power and the power to interpret the rules. From now on, the rules can only be used to rule the loser and cannot restrain the victor. Does that make sense?"
At this point, the sinner sighed faintly and said: "This is something that cannot be changed in the kingdom established by creatures. It is impossible for people to suppress their desires, and they are bound to be corrupted."
Ning Changjiu asked: "If this is the case, how do you think you can change everything?"
The sinner said: "Let the absolutely kind and righteous people maintain order."
Ning Changjiu shook his head and said: "You just said that this is impossible."
The sinner said: "It was impossible before, but it is possible now."
Ning Changjiu watched him quietly.
The Lord of Sin stretched out his long, withered fingers and pointed at the top, "The absolute kind and just person is the **** emperor. The **** emperor used to be an illusory thing, but now... it is above the sky!"
……
"Do you want the Dark Lord to dominate the world?" Ning Changjiu asked.
"Yes!" Sin Jun said: "Back then, the crows described a world that was sinful by human beings. Once a person acts evil and exposes his sins, he will be condemned or accepted by the emperor. To punish, or accept death, everything is done under absolute justice... This is my ideal world."
Ning Changji didn’t speak for a long time. He looked at the dark robes of the sinner and the falling crow feathers, and said: "You are just a fantasy."
The sinner asked: "Why?"
Ning Changjiu said: "The Dark Lord is not your ideal divine emperor at all. All it wants is to take away the ‘evil’. In this process, it will destroy all living beings."
The Lord of Sin was also silent for a long time. He said: "But the Dark Lord created the stars and created the kingdom of God. It has the power and method to maintain order. You can transform it and make it a qualified **** emperor."
Ning Changjiu shook his head and said: "I can't do it."
The sinner firmly said: "If you can't do it, no one can do it."
Ning Changjiu calmly said: "This is too risky and not worth it."
"Isn't it worth it?" Sin Jundao: "To build an ideal world where the good will be immortal, and the evil will be destroyed. Isn't such an ideal worth the risk?"
Ning Changjiu said: "That is the world of bliss in your eyes, but it is also the **** in my eyes, not to mention..."
Ning Changjiu looked at the sinner and said: "You just said that the desire to survive is the sin of mankind, and I cannot get rid of such sin. In order to survive, I cannot take any risk of nothingness. , Not to mention, that is not the world I want at all."
The sinner looked at the spell he drew on the ground and said: "That creature will always be ugly."
Ning Changjiu said: "This is the price of survival... Besides, in my eyes, most of them are beautiful."
Although Lu Jiajia on the side could not understand what they were talking about, she also felt that the negotiation seemed to have broken down.
The sinner unfolds his mythological form.
The horrible body pierced out of the dark cloak, and the body that resembled the word of sin was unfolded, bone wings spread out, wing membranes brightened, and entangled lightning condensed between the palms, turning into a shining thunder and lightning. gun.
Ning Changjiu's eyes are always calm.
He stared at the mythical form of the guilty lord and opened his hands.
Liu Xiwan turned into a white sword and flew in a flash.
Just like in the city of Duanjie back then, this battle was unfolded in the kingdom of God.
The staggered lightning runs through the sky, the entangled elements converge into a whirlpool, and the sound of thunderstorms is endless.
Swords and spears rang in the sky, and the hurricane produced by their battle is like an indestructible knife, directly splitting the kingdom of God from the middle!
This is a huge, but there is still no suspenseful battle.
The battle lasted one day and one night.
At the time of Duanjiecheng, Ning Changjiu was cut to the bone, not human, but now, his sword is accurately pierced into the mythical body of the sinner.
At the moment when the Sin King was completely defeated, Si Ming and Lu Jia Jia flew out at the same time, tracing a flexible curve in the air, cutting off the Sin King's wings one by one!
The Lord of Sin fell into the divine kingdom where the earth was cracked.
Ning Changjiu fell in front of him.
The sinner slowly climbed up from the ground and walked to his grave.
His **** seat has disappeared, leaving only a dark cross frame.
He walked to the cross frame, opened his hand, and closed his eyes.
Ning Changlong did not stop him.
The flames burned, and he was like a dry wood, just a little.
This is a fire that has been late for 3,700 years. This fire did not take his life in that ‘sacred book’. Now, he is going to return to the flames after all.
In the cognition of the sinner, the soul is not pure, the body is not sin, and the flame does not have the ability to purify everything either. He believes that survival itself is doomed to evil, and he is doomed to perish. Instead of being killed by Ning Changjiu, it is better to destroy his own existence himself.
Death is the way to eliminate everything, whether you are sinful or kind.
The flames are burning.
The Lord of Sin opened his eyes and said: "I have judged the original sin of mankind. They will kill for generations and will never stop."
Ning Changjiu said: "Without your trial, the killing and oppression will not stop. This is inevitable, and I cannot change it."
The guilty king is like a kid who has succeeded in the prank, showing a triumphant smile: "So my trial will last forever."
Ning Changjiu looked at the sinner’s distorted face in the fire, and did not answer.
The prince of sin seems unsatisfied.
He stared at Ning Changjiu and said: "I will also give you a mortal judgment, and you will be killed by something outside the sky!"
Ning Changjiu's eyes were extremely calm: "I know."
Sinjun frowned and said: "Do you really know what I'm talking about?"
Ning Changjiu nodded: "I know."
"But I will not die. How I leave, I will return."
Ning Changjiu turned around.
The fire swallowed the Lord of Sin completely, thick smoke went to the sky, and the temple collapsed.
The kingdom of the sin king was annihilated.
