Chapter 377 I am dead, I have something to burn paper~(1/2)
Zhu Lerui is a city in the underworld, and it was established about two or three hundred years ago.
The reason why time is blurred is that time in the underworld is already blurred, and there is no time for reincarnation in the sun and moon.
In the underworld, the style of a city or gathering place depends on the existence of the city, or the age of its establishment.
Who created Zhu Lerui is now untestable, because it was just a small gathering point during the chaotic period when the order of the underworld collapsed. The founder probably had an average strength. Two or three hundred years have passed and he has disappeared.
The rulers of this city have undergone several generations of changes.
Although time seems to have flowed slowly in the underworld and everything is so slow, the only thing that is not slow is the change of regimes.
After all, as long as there are "people", there will be a world of martial arts. It's not about fighting, killing, but about human nature.
The city of Juleri has now reached the parliamentary system.
It seems to be a council composed of five people, five bronze-level souls.
This is a city rich in "jewelry". The city name also means jewelry. If it is translated as a free version, it should be called Baozhu City.
Although the underworld is barren and deserted, it also has its own unique specialties. Those souls also have some demand and consumption in the underworld, and they also have to carry out relatively "daily" production activities.
It is more appropriate to regard this place as a strange and strange world.
Like the dead souls in the city, except for the lowest beings who struggle on the brink of life and death every day, most of the dead souls have to work to support themselves.
Jewelry in Zhuleri City is very famous because it is close to the tributary of the Styx River. They have a special "salvage" technique to salvage some special ores and jewelry from the Styx River for processing.
This thing is not a luxury item, but a real consumable item, and it is a gathering of spiritual energy.
In fact, in the world of appearance, jewelry is not just a luxury, but the consumption of jewelry is quite large in the world.
The reason why the world of watches regards jewelry as a high-end luxury is because of this aspect.
Most of the above information was told by Dante, who told the five people that Dante was an old undead who came to the underworld five or six hundred years ago. So he knew that there were many things in this world.
The first person to meet Dante in the underworld can only be said that Siro has made great contributions.
That’s right, the dead souls also have to work to support themselves in the underworld, because the dead souls will also "dead" in the underworld!
The souls need to continuously consume spiritual energy to maintain their own existence, but the souls themselves cannot generate spiritual energy.
If the spiritual energy is insufficient, one's own spirituality will be worn out by the rules of the underworld, so ordinary souls only have two paths.
The first one is reincarnation, but in the Western underworld, this method is very difficult.
Because they have not established an effective system of reincarnation...
Before, Zhao Hao learned a lot about the underworld from Uncle Tie. Because Uncle Tie is a serious Taoist priest who received the talismans, even if his practice was not able to leave a clear image in the sea of spiritual energy, his soul could be a bad person in the underworld after death.
Specifically, it is the Eastern Underworld system. Of course, some factions have different relationships above, and some are working under the command of Taishan Mansion.
The Shangqing faction is all about this...
Zhao Hao knew that after a person died, the soul would go to the underworld. After a layer of rotation in the underworld, the soul would be reborn as a human being, and the spirituality would return to the sea of spiritual energy.
The sea of spiritual energy did not exist in this world at first, and was the spiritual gathering of countless years of intelligent creatures.
Of course, although the soul is the essence of a person, our consciousness is born on the basis of spirituality. And spirituality returns to the sea of spiritual energy, so the person after reincarnation has basically nothing to do with this life.
It’s like a person wearing a hat. If he changes a hat, it seems that the person has not changed, but the hat is the essence!
That's why people think about practicing because if they strengthen their spirituality to a certain level, they can resist the assimilation of the sea of spiritual energy.
At that time, not only will it leave a clear mark in the sea of psychic energy and become an independent existence, but there is a high probability that you will be able to awaken Su Hui after reincarnation and start again.
It's equivalent to being reborn!
Of course, this is very difficult. Because after the soul is reincarnated, new spirituality will be born. If the spirituality of the previous life cannot be awakened in time, it may be incomplete.
The mystery in the fetus is very powerful. Generally, who would want to bet on life unless it is absolutely necessary?
The East is already very difficult, but it is even more difficult in the West. Because for ordinary people, let alone gambling on their lives, there is no chance for reincarnation!
What is the evil spirit and confusing beast that Zhao Hao and the others encountered before? That is the product of the dead soul after the second death!
The dead soul needs to consume spiritual energy to maintain itself, just like a person needs to eat. If a person has no food to eat, he will starve to death, and if the dead soul has no spiritual energy, he will starve to death.
If you cannot be reincarnated again before your spiritual power is exhausted, the dead soul will die. If the dead soul dies again, it will become a evil soul!
The confused beast is just one of the evil spirits. Because of their own differences, evil spirits are divided into many kinds. Ignorance and unconsciousness are only the nature of evil.
The Eastern saying is "Ghosts die and make sounds (five sounds), and ghosts are afraid of them when they see them."
Originally, in an era when the divine system was still alive, this was not a problem because there were various gods who were alienating them.
Even if Western gods have not built a system of reincarnation, they have a way to deal with those excess souls. Of course, it is definitely not a good thing for the souls. But at least it is a sustainable balance system.
But the period of spiritual silence has come, which has caused a devastating disaster to the extraordinary system of the entire world, and it is even more devastating to all kinds of gods. What is the twilight of the gods, the Dharma-Ending Age, the Apocalypse... is what it is talking about.
The gods fled to death and went their separate ways. The underworld was completely out of control.
This is also the reason why a large number of gathering places and cities spontaneously appeared in the chaotic underworld during the middle and late stages of the spiritual energy silence period.
Because it is necessary!
When those dead souls were in chaos in the underworld, they could not obtain psychic energy stably and would soon turn into evil spirits.
The entire underworld is filled with dead souls and evil spirits, and there is basically no place to be safe.
Therefore, it is not only driven by individual ambitions, but also an objective need of the group.
Personal struggle depends on the historical process~
...
When Dante introduced the evil spirit, Sam was not calm.
"Wait, Mr. Dante, didn't you say that good people go to heaven and evil people go to hell? Are all the people in this underworld evil people?"
Old Man Dan smiled and gently knocked on his cane, as if he was recalling something.
"Whether good or bad can go to heaven is not determined by good or evil. Although evil people are definitely unable to go to heaven, they are not allowed by good people... But evil people have the opportunity to go to hell, as long as you want!"
"What, what does it mean?" Sam was confused.
He is not a devout Christian, and he has been influenced by him since childhood. You should know that Amei has kept "Oh my God" on her lips.
Now you, a good man, cannot go to heaven, but the evil man can go to hell and make Sam confused. Are we talking about the same thing?
Dante lowered his head and smiled: "You must know that most people will come to the underworld after death. Whether good or evil! Even if you were a great good person in your lifetime, you will come here after death. Of course, if you have made great contributions to the Holy See, or even be a high-end priest or a high-level extraordinary person, you may be able to be taken to heaven when you die!"
After saying that, he waved his hand again: "When I died, due to spiritual power, the gate of heaven was rarely opened. I guess it was too much... Even the Pope didn't know if he had a chance to go to heaven. I heard that it became even more serious later. I guess unless it was a person who was particularly important to heaven, he would not be able to go up!"
"But I heard that it has started to improve in recent years, and even the spiritual energy of the underworld has become much more abundant."
All five of them remained silent because Dante's words were too informative.
According to him, whether you can go to heaven depends on your role in heaven, not whether you do good!
This really subverts everyone's concept!
Sam's lips trembled, trying to refute but didn't know what to say.
But Dante waved his hand: "Don't doubt it, after all, I was the one who was invited to heaven at the beginning!"
"Ah? Then you, then you..."
"Why am I here?"
Sam nodded.
"Because I refused!"
Sam was stunned again, "Why, why? Is heaven not good?"
Dante smiled and said, "Of course heaven is good, there is no danger, as if there is infinite spiritual energy, rich and peaceful... But, when you get there, you will soon be no longer you."
Just like the sea of psychic energy, heaven will also assimilate the soul.
Those assimilated souls are called prayers, who lose their spirituality, or are completely distorted and assimilated, becoming part of heaven, and some of them will also transform their souls into angels!
"Where do you think that the almost infinite light energy of heaven comes from? It was produced out of thin air? This does not conform to the conservation of energy!"
Zhao Hao was startled: "Do you still know how to conserve energy?"
An old ghost in his five or six hundred years old actually told me that energy conservation is not the right way to open it?
However, Dante was very calm. What is the conservation of energy? He knew so much!
The six hundred years of life in the underworld have allowed him to see too much.
According to him, he had met Socrates, Archimedes, Galileo, Darwin, Nietzsche and others, and many of them had been communicated.
Most of these people still exist in an unknown corner of the underworld.
This means the difference between Dante and the above-mentioned people, ordinary people, and those who have become evil spirits.
They all have great spiritual brilliance!
The rules of the underworld cannot erase their brilliant spirituality in a short period of time. Therefore, they can last forever, even exist for longer than some powerful city lords.
Moreover, most of these great souls choose to stay in the underworld rather than go to heaven. In order to maintain their own free and independent consciousness.
Survival is precious, and heaven is even more expensive. If it is for freedom, both can be abandoned.
To be continued...
