Chapter 355: Humans
In today's hell, there are only twenty-two small hells guarded by the Prison King, and these twenty-two small hells do not include the Love Emperor's Ten Thousand Tribulation Little Hells.
As early as three hundred years ago, on the day of the fall of the Emperor of Love, the Nai He Bridge leading to the Little Hell of Ten Thousand Tribulations was restored to its original state.
However, on the stone tablet in front of the bridge, the words 'Ten Thousand Tribulations' are only faint traces, but the ink color that was originally stained red with blood has disappeared without a trace.
As the connecting core of the eighty-one small hells, the reincarnation square has always been relatively lively, and almost all the envoys from all sides will pass through here when they enter and leave the small hells, and there will naturally be a large number of people flowing.
At this time, on the reincarnation square, the messengers who came and went all stopped and did not move, and there were emotions of surprise, reverence and so on in their sights.
"That's ...... The First Emissary 'Loden Ram'! and the new Second Emissary, Lin Wu!"
"The two of them, they met so soon?"
"After all, in the entire hell, only Lord Lin Wu is at the same level as Loden Ram. ”
"I heard that Loden Ram has always been unkind, and the prison kings of all parties have wholeheartedly invited her to join, but she still goes her own way and is only stationed in the small hell of ten thousand tribulations, I didn't expect her to take the initiative to know Lin Wu?"
"The First Messenger and the Second Messenger joined forces...... Tsk, that's probably the bottomless prison that can sweep through most of the little hells. ”
Amidst many discussions, Lin Wu followed Loden Ram through the Reincarnation Square and walked towards the Nai He Bridge of the Little Hell of Ten Thousand Tribulations.
"Loden Ram. ”
Lin Wu's heart moved, and the will of all things immediately repelled the air around the two of them, forming a vacuum compartment, blocking the transmission of sound, before he smiled and said, "Have the prison kings invited you?"
Lodenram glanced at him and said, "Do you want to ask me why I didn't say yes?"
Lin Wu nodded.
"I'm just the emissary of the Emperor, and I always have been. ”
Luo Deng Ram said lightly: "What's more, those prison kings can't give me anything, I don't lack extreme yin qi, as for the Taiyin Hidden Spring...... Most of the prison kings are not as much as I have, and it is only a matter of time before I become the prison king, so why should I be an envoy to other prison kings?"
Lin Wu smiled and said, "That's what I said. ”
Loden Ram had a pseudo-ultimate soul a thousand years ago, and it was only a matter of time before he achieved the ultimate soul, even if he couldn't break through now, as long as the ultimate soul was one and absorbed the Taiyin Hidden Spring, he could still break through.
It's no wonder that she didn't join any of the little hells, only stayed in the small hells of ten thousand calamities, and hell didn't care about her.
In the eyes of the prison kings of hell, Loden Ram must be one of them in the future, and he is still invincible, so he will naturally be treated specially.
Moreover, Loden Ram has not yet been crowned king, and she can enter and exit the bottomless prison at will, with her strength, she is enough to crisscross most bottomless prisons freely, and it is naturally not difficult to obtain the Taiyin Hidden Spring.
Therefore, it is normal that Loden Ram's family background is thicker than that of the prison king.
While speaking, the two of them had already arrived at the Nai He Bridge in the Little Hell of Ten Thousand Tribulations.
"The ...... of Doom"
Lin Wu looked at the stone tablet on the Nai He Bridge, and the traces of the words Ten Thousand Tribulations could still be seen on this stone tablet, which were only engraved, but there was no other blood color of the Lord Little Hell.
"The Emperor has endured the tribulations of the chaotic era, realized the truth of the order of the world, and made a great obsession with this, and made a grand wish to return the world to order and return to ......peace forever."
Lodenram looked at the stele with a confused look in his eyes and sighed, "But I don't know why...... In order to break the shackles of the ultimate extreme, the Emperor of Love actually took such a desperate path and died ......"
Lin Wu looked at the stele quietly, and suddenly reached out and touched the stele.
At the same time as his fingertips touched the stone tablet, a sigh sounded in his ears, but it was not real, as if it were a hallucination.
"Huh?"
Lin Wu couldn't help but say, "Is there anything special about this stone stele?"
When Loden Ram heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said: "Special? What does it mean? There is only a trace of the obsession of the Emperor of Love on this stone tablet, and there is nothing special." ”
"Really?" Lin Wu nodded thoughtfully.
From this point of view, the obsession left by the Emperor of Love on this stone tablet, Loden Ram can't hear it, but he can?
Odd......
Is it because his soul is special, or is there any connection between him and the Emperor?
Just like the door of the ghost market, there is still the obsession of 'An Xuan County Lord' on the door of the ghost market, but except for him, no one can hear the voice on the gate of the ghost market.
Is it a coincidence?
Lin Wu faintly felt that it didn't seem like a coincidence, maybe it was ...... Emperor Qing and Lord An Xuan, what is the connection between these two of them and him?
Or is it because his soul is special, and he has a higher level than the ultimate soul of these kings, so he can hear it?
Lodenram looked at him and asked, "Did you find anything?"
Lin Wu shook his head slightly and said, "It's nothing, I just thought that the obsession left behind by such a powerful person as the Emperor of Love would be a little different." ”
Whether it's for the sake of the soul or if there is any special connection, it's his secret.
Lodenram didn't say anything, just glanced at him, and went straight up the Nai Ho Bridge, towards the white mist that led to the little hell of the Ten Thousand Tribulations.
After passing through the white fog of the Lethe River, which was so thick that it could not be dispersed, the small hell on the other side of the bridge was finally revealed.
This was the first time Lin Wu had come to other small hells, but this Ten Thousand Tribulations Little Hell was no different from the Thousand Faces Little Hell, walking all the way along the wide and deep dark red rock passage, after passing through this dim and long passage, his eyes suddenly opened up, and an endless sea of bitterness appeared.
The huge candle dragon eyes above shone on this black endless sea of suffering.
"It's no different from a little hell with a thousand faces. Lin Wu said softly.
"Of course it's the same. ”
Loden Ram said lightly: "In other words, every small hell is exactly the same, when the first generation of Yama created these small hells, it was to operate the hell, and it is said that this endless sea of suffering actually covers all the small hells, connecting all the bottomless prisons, but they are isolated by the space of the small hells and cannot be passed." ”
"What about the Empress?" Lin Wu said curiously: "The Empress's talent is to transform into a divine void and play with space in one thought, can she shuttle through the space of the Little Hell?"
Loden Ram shook his head directly and said, "How is it possible? For those of us mortal beings who have not yet broken through the limit of life under the king, we should be in the sea of suffering, so the sea of suffering has no resistance or effect on us, but for the ultimate existence beyond human lifeforms, we dare not enter the sea of suffering at all." ”
"Oh?" said Lin Wu in surprise.
Lodenram explained: "The sea of suffering is a collection of grievances of countless beings in the chaotic era, and it is the most terrible suffering of sentient beings, once there are beings above all beings who enter the sea of suffering, not only can they not sink into the sea of suffering, but they will also endure extremely terrible suffering, and they will be impacted by endless resentment, even if the empress can pass through the space of the small hell, she will not be able to bear the suffering of this sentient beings." ”
Lin Wu nodded suddenly.
At the same time, he couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, from the perspective of his soul, his soul was probably even more terrifying than the ultimate soul, and the yin qi emitted was the liquid yin qi of the Taiyin Hidden Spring.
He can also be regarded as transcending the level of sentient beings, can he pass through this sea of suffering?
If he can't get in, won't he be able to go to a bottomless prison?
"Except for the king, no one can pass through the sea of suffering?" Lin Wu couldn't help but ask.
"Absolutely. Lodenram said.
Lin Wu's eyes lit up and asked, "Who?"
"The first Yamas themselves. Lodenram said.
"......" Lin Wu was speechless, when he didn't ask.
Loden Ram shook his head and said, "The first generation of Yamas broke the shackles of the ultimate, and they were the builders of the Sea of Suffering, so it was normal for them to be able to pass through, but how could they pass through the Sea of Suffering if they transcended the existence of sentient beings?"
"The methods of the first generation are incredible. Lin Wu exclaimed.
In every bottomless prison, the main criminals who are equivalent to invincible beings are imprisoned, but those main criminals cannot escape at all, and even the prison kings cannot pass through the sea of suffering.
"The first Yamas, it's incredible. Loden Ram hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But the Emperor is not inferior. ”
Lin Wu couldn't help but be surprised: "Not inferior? Why?"
Loden Ram was silent for a moment and said, "I'm just guessing, every time the Emperor talks about the first generation of Yama, the tone of his voice, although he is indeed very admired, but that feeling is ...... It's as if I just admired what the first Yamas did, and I didn't have scruples...... Maybe it's my delusion, but I feel like I'm casual, like I'm treating the first Yamas as equals......"
"Equal status?" Lin Wu became more and more surprised.
Although the Emperor of Ten Thousand Tribulations is known as the strongest Prison King, even if he touches the threshold of a higher level, he is only at the level of a king after all, and the first generation of Yama is obviously a higher-level existence.
"Why?" Lin Wu wondered, "Didn't you ask?"
"Asked. ”
Loden Ram nodded, and said with some confusion: "However, the Emperor of Love didn't explain it seriously, but he once said that the reason why it is much easier to break through the shackles is because he has gone astray, and it is just a sidepath, but it can be regarded as a helpless move for the living to struggle in the chaotic era......"
"Misguided?" Lin Wu muttered thoughtfully.
Soul seducers and ghosts seem to have the same destination, but in fact there is a big difference.
Ghosts and monsters use obsession to keep the soul from dispersing, and at the same time let the physical body transform and awaken, and when it reaches the ultimate, it is the level of the king.
And the soul hooker, his own soul has no obsession, the obsession is just pinned on a certain object, the physical body is still a mortal, the same will be born, old, sick and die, and at the same time shorter life.
Soul seducer, from ordinary soul seducer, to impermanence, judge, grand judge...... When the ultimate is achieved, it is also 'Yama'.
Yama's soul is comparable to the king-level soul, but it lacks obsession, just like a person with hypochondria, so it is much weaker, and there is no threat to the king-level ghosts, and it can only deal with the ghosts under the king.
Judging from what the Emperor said, it seems that it is because of the chaotic era, in order to protect themselves, the living use the side way of 'hooking souls' to fight against ghosts?
Since the 'soul hook' is a side-by-side way, it can naturally be 'quick'.
As long as the Soul Hooker can inherit the 'Inheritance Treasure' of the previous generation of Yama, he can quickly grow into a Yama, which is many times easier than the ghost to break through the ultimate.
Thinking about it this way, it is indeed very much in line with what the emperor said.
"The Emperor of Love is undoubtedly the strongest level among the ghosts......"
Lin Wu said softly: "And although the first generation of Yama has reached a higher level, it is only through the misguided path of 'Soul Hooking Envoy', so the Emperor of Love does not attach importance to the first generation of Yama...... But because of the contribution made by the first Yama to mankind, the Emperor still admires the first ...... That makes sense. ”
Loden Ram said, "The Emperor really admired the first Yamas, which is why he joined Hell and became the Prison King. ”
Lin Wu couldn't help but say with interest: "Where did the Emperor come from before he joined Hell? I don't seem to have heard of the Emperor's reputation before. ”
"This ...... I don't know very well. Loden Ram shook his head and said, "However, the Emperor of Love has survived the chaotic era and agreed with the concept of the original Ten Hall Yamas, so he will join Hell and help the Ten Hall Yamas run the order of this world together." ”
"Order?"
Lin Wu nodded lightly.
Before the birth of the first Ten Yamas, humanity was in the so-called 'Age of Chaos', a time when ghosts were rampant.
At that time, the Yin Si and the Soul Hook were very weak and powerless to fight against the ghosts, until the invincible first Ten Palaces Yama was born, killed one by one the most vicious ghosts in his lifetime, and established the Netherworld Underworld, which ended the chaotic era.
The underworld and hell also exist to maintain order in this world.
Loden Ram sighed: "Back then, the reason why the first Yama did not kill all the ghosts was because he followed the advice of the Emperor of Love, so he left eighty-one evil ghosts whose souls and bodies had reached the ultimate level, and created hell and a bottomless prison, so that they could atone for their sins and run hell in it. ”
Lin Wu nodded lightly.
Although he didn't know the true meaning of hell's existence, the first Yama worked hard to build, presumably there must be some special role, and it couldn't be as simple as 'imprisonment'.
"Speaking of which, the lovers and prison kings ...... You, I...... The envoys of all parties are also ghosts. ”
Lin Wu suddenly said: "And in the chaotic era, it is also ghosts that are wreaking, but the first generation of Yama did not completely rely on the soul hooking envoy, but mainly relied on ghosts to run the order, isn't the first generation afraid of ghosts raging again?"
Loden Ram looked at the endless sea of suffering, was silent for a long time, and said, "Then why do you say that the first generation of Yama trusted the Emperor of Love?"
Lin Wu thought for a moment and said, "Because the concept of the Emperor of Love is similar to that of the first generation of Yamas?"
"Exactly. ”
Loden Ram said: "I also asked the Emperor this question, and he said...... Whether it's a living person, a soul charmer, or a ghost...... In essence, without exception, they are all human beings, even if they are the kings and powerhouses after the ultimate awakening, they seem to be beyond the 'human' species, but they are still human beings. ”
"Since they are all human beings, there are still differences between ghosts, living people, and soul hookers, which can be distinguished, but how to distinguish between ghosts and ghosts?"
As if asking herself, she said softly: "Lord Qing said that the difference is...... Popularity. ”
Lin Wu looked at her.
"The reason why the ghosts of the chaotic era committed sins was because the living people in that era were too humble, and the ghosts all thought that they were not human beings, and they always regarded themselves as ghosts, but they forgot their original human hearts and ignored the fact that they were originally human, which caused the chaotic era. ”
"And after the establishment of the underworld, the living also have the power to fight against ghosts, but ghosts are controlled, yin and yang are separated, life and death are two worlds, and there is order in this world. ”
"But the living are still weak, even if there is a character like the first Ten Palaces Yama, the first generation will eventually have the day of death, even if they leave behind the innate soul hook bloodline, they can't compete with the immortal ghosts. ”
Loden Ram glanced at Lin Wu and said, "You just asked me why the first generation of Yama relied on ghosts to maintain order, right?"
She said softly: "Building hell is the suggestion of the Emperor of Love, he said, the way to let the prison kings contribute to hell and the operation of order is not status, not power......"
"Rather...... Desire. ”
Lodenram's eyes were fixed on the faces with different expressions in the sea of suffering, "The human heart is the most unpredictable thing, and no one can guarantee whether it will change, but human desires, from the chaotic era to the present, have never changed, and the root of all disputes lies in human desires, if under the order, desires can still be satisfied, there will be no disputes." ”
Lin Wu said softly: "So, there is a bottomless prison that can continuously produce the Taiyin Hidden Spring?"
"Yes. ”
"The instinct of life is evolution, and the instinct that the prison kings desire most is also their own transformation, even if it is for the sake of fighting, for the sake of confrontation...... will also choose to evolve, and the only one who can make the ultimate existence evolve is the Taiyin Hidden Spring, and the prison kings will also obey the order of hell for the sake of the Taiyin Hidden Spring. ”
Mortals only have a hundred years to live, and most of these hundred years have been spent living for the sake of 'living', without idle thinking.
And the ghosts are already immortal, and the longer they live, the more they like to think.
lived a long life and became philosophers.
Even the messenger of Loden Ram understood these truths, and it was naturally impossible for the prison kings not to understand them.
But this is a conspiracy, and the prison king will obediently take the bait for the sake of Taiyin Youquan, knowing that it is the bait designed by the first generation.
"Desire ......"
Lin Wu nodded lightly.
I have to say that this Emperor of Ten Thousand Tribulations is really a peerless person, with strength, thoughts, realm, and wisdom...... Without exception, they are all levels that are difficult to find in the world.
"The Emperor of Love, the reason why he is named 'love' is because of his great obsession, which is related to the desire for love in this world. ”
"Adults have always believed that human affection, whether it is family, friendship, or love...... In essence, it is all self-awareness, everything is a manifestation of 'desire', everything is done to satisfy desire, as long as desire is satisfied, there will be no dispute. ”
Lin Wu smiled stunned and said, "Satisfying everyone......'s desires?
"It's impossible. Lodenram nodded slightly and said: "Objective existence is limited, but human desires are infinite, and human desires are unquenchable, how can human desires be truly satisfied?"
Lin Wu was curious: "Since the emperor's great obsession is this, why did he commit suicide?"
The great obsession is an ideal that can never be accomplished.
The ideal is not completed, why do you commit suicide?
Even if the lover emperor made this kind of adventure tantamount to suicide in order to break through to a higher level and break the shackles, it didn't match his great obsession after all.
"I don't know. ”
Loden Ram also shook his head a little confused, and said: "Since the Emperor of Love and the Cold Cicada Heavenly Machine came back from a deep talk, it is like a different person, although he was also trying to break through before, he was not so eager to break through......"
"Chilling Heavenly Machine?" Lin Wu had heard of this name, and couldn't help asking, "What did you talk about?"
"I don't know. Lodenram shook his head and said, "The Chilling Heavenly Machine is the best at deducing the future, maybe she has calculated the future......
Lin Wu thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I heard that the Chilling Cicada Heavenly Machine is a woman, and the Love Emperor also has a mysterious wife, could it be that his wife is the Chilling Cicada Heavenly Machine?"
Luo Denglam glanced at Lin Wu and said lightly: "You think too much, I know who the adult's wife is." ”
"Oh, who is it?" Lin Wu couldn't help but wonder.
"The Emperor has never told anyone, do you think I will say it?" Loden Ram snorted, as if thinking about something, sighed, shook his head, and said, "What's more, it doesn't make sense now......"
Lin Wu shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it." ”
Loden Ram took off into the air, flew towards the small island Prison King Hall opposite, and dropped a sentence: "Don't you want to see the emperor's heart? ”
After a while, the two of them flew over the bitter sea and came to the Prison King Hall of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Little Hell.
There were also ghost gate messengers on duty at the gate of the Prison King's Palace, and at this time, when they saw Lin Wu and Luo Deng Ram flying side by side, they all showed shocked faces.
Loden Ram didn't care about them, and walked directly into the Prison King's Hall with Lin Wu.
At this time, a beautiful woman in white dressed in ancient costumes walked over and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Lin, welcome to the Little Hell of Ten Thousand Tribulations." ”
"This is my number three in the Little Hell of All Tribulations...... No, Emissary No. 2, Yu Qing. ”
Lin Wu knew why she was wrong.
Because the original No. 2 envoy of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Little Hell was the second messenger of the past Hell 'Gong Yan', but Gong Yan had already joined the Binglan Little Hell, so Yu Qing, the No. 3 envoy in the past, became the No. 2 envoy of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Little Hell.
"Hello. Lin Wu smiled at Yu Qing.
He had already read the list and information about the messengers of the Nai He Bridge of the Hell Parties.
'Yu Qing' is also one of the messengers of the hell ranking, originally ranked ninth, but now with Lin Wu, he was squeezed to the tenth place, one place higher than Mo Qingchen, and the messenger of the first ladder, counting Lin Wu, there are only nine people, that is to say, this Yu Qing is the strongest person in the second ladder!
"Qing'er, Mr. Lin has already promised to help me, but he wants to see the emperor's heart, I will take him to the prison king's treasury now, and I will leave later. ”
Loden Ram said: "You are responsible for the safety here, now that Gong Yan is not here, you must be cautious, I will come back as soon as possible." ”
"Sister, don't worry. Yu Qing smiled: "That prisoner only escaped from prison once for a while, and he may not come tonight, even if he comes, the new defense method we designed can also work, and it will be no problem in a short time." ”
Lodenram nodded: "I'll leave it to you." ”
"Sister, don't worry about yours, your business is the top priority, if you can break through, you don't have to worry so much. Yu Qinglian said.
Loden Ram nodded slightly, and then led Lin Wu along the corridor in the Prison King's Palace, and walked into the depths.
"Loden Ram, is the bottomless prison of your Little Hell also dangerous?" Lin Wu couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Of course. ”
Loden Ram nodded and said: "Although it is not as dangerous as the small hell of the heart guarded by the Heart Monarch, it is also more dangerous than your small hell with a thousand faces, the bottomless prison under this sea of bitterness, there is not only a prisoner of the level of a fire demon, but also two prisoners of the first rank." ”
"No wonder you can't ......solve it with your strength," Lin Wu said suddenly.
"It can't be solved. ”
Lodenram shook his head and said, "Unless my natal talent can also reach the pseudo-ultimate, the two pseudo-ultimate talents can be solved, but...... If you don't rely on the Taiyin Spring, it is impossible to break through, and if you want to absorb the Taiyin Spring, you can only achieve the ultimate soul, but once you reach the ultimate, I can't enter the bottomless prison. ”
Lin Wu nodded.
This is an endless loop, if you want to break through, you can only reach the ultimate, but once you reach the ultimate, you can't enter a bottomless prison.
"By the way, what about the three princes of the ancient tomb?" Lin Wu suddenly wondered: "How did he break through? His two royal talents have reached the pseudo-ultimate, right? Why hasn't he broken through yet?"
