Chapter 39: The Gate of the Holy Land
"I used to think that if I was pushed to the limit, I would become crazy, crazy to plunder everything, desperate to continue life, and pursue the next rejuvenation, but I was wrong, I didn't expect that when I was about to die, I would be as calm as I am, and there was even some longing for this day to come sooner and return to the arms of the great enemy mother. ”
As he spoke, Lu Shimahata gently picked up a bit of dirt and rubbed it on his hands.
Rikushi Mahata was first a wizard and then a warrior.
He did this when he was a child and his father taught him how to pray to Mother Earth.
Mother Earth's beliefs spread throughout the celestial realm, and the ways in which they play are also strange, and some are not allowed to speak, but can only pray in their hearts.
Some need a special place or a special environment to pray, and some require a special posture.
Although the faith is the same, the methods and ways of believing are different.
This is also the smartest thing about Mother Earth, who has limited what mortals believe in her from the very beginning.
That is, those who have received their own blessings and power can only carry out secret inheritance, because mortals' mouths, tongues and throats are filthy, so it is disrespectful to Mother Earth to proclaim the blessings of Mother Earth at will.
Those who truly believe in Mother Earth and are blessed by the power of Mother Earth, that is, the wizards of the southern wilderness, rarely even mention Mother Earth's name, and only mention Mother Earth's name when praying, during rituals, or when passing on the power of Mother Earth to the next generation.
On the contrary, ordinary people who have not been blessed by the power of Mother Earth will mention Mother Earth more frequently.
If left unchecked, even if there is only one god and demon in Mother Earth, countless religions will be born because of different ideas.
Even if it is just a few words, a few words different, two completely different religions may be born, and as the development of the two sides will become bigger and bigger, and finally the war will meet, blood stains the earth, this kind of thing is too common.
Mother Earth, as a long-lived god and demon, has seen too many things like this. I also know what a terrible catastrophe this can cause.
Keeping the sorcerers who are Mother Earth blessed from the equation is not entirely preventing, but it has a huge benefit in alleviating the situation.
The downside is that the inheritance of witchcraft is easily broken.
But that doesn't matter, because Mother Earth will continue to bless mortals, and as long as she is around, new wizards will always appear. And very powerful.
Rikushi Mahata learned his sorcery from his father, who learned it from his grandfather, who had been given it by Mother Earth during a night in the wilderness.
At that time, his grandfather had used his fingers to pinch the soil, so the action of pinching the soil became a must-do action for three generations of their ancestors and grandchildren when they prayed.
Lu Shi Zhenba has no heirs, and now that his life has come to a point, his witchcraft inheritance will also be cut off.
Of course, severing the inheritance is acceptable for wizards, who are not like warriors.
The warrior's physical strengthening method, combat skills are honed in life and death, painstaking efforts to polish, every strong person who has experience in their own fighting, especially those who have created various methods, are trying their best to leave their inheritance.
Lu Shimahata kept talking, and at the same time used his fingers to pinch the soil and rub it gently on his hands, hoping to let Mother Earth hear her pious prayers in this way.
During his prayers, Master Lu suddenly felt sleepy and could not resist.
In a daze, Lu Shi Zhenba suddenly felt the life force in his body passing rapidly.
"It's finally here, my last moments. ”
Lu Shi Zhenhan felt that the life force in his body began to dissipate, faster and faster, and in the end, it was like a flood that burst the embankment, and it couldn't be stopped at all.
In the face of the dissipation of life force and the advent of death, Lu Shi Zhenhata could not avoid feeling great fear.
There are too few people who can really face death calmly without fear.
Soldiers on the battlefield can fight bravely without fear of death, and that is with a lot of blood.
Dying for one's own beliefs and ideals is fearless in the face of death, and that is because of the support of faith.
The fear of death is the instinct of life, and those who die calmly with a fearless face are actually afraid in their hearts.
Lu Shi Zhenba is just an ordinary person, and in the face of death, he is no different from a normal person.
The dissipation of life force made Lu Shi Zhenhan really feel fear, and at this moment, a warm light enveloped him.
Moreover, Lu Shi Mahata was surprised to find that as his life force dissipated and death approached, the scenery around him changed dramatically.
As the vitality in his body decreased, the real-world scene began to dissolve like snow in the scorching sun.
Behind the dissolved real world, a whole new world has emerged.
It was as if there was a clear boundary between life and death in front of Lu Shi Mahata's eyes, and this boundary was measured by Lu Shi's life force.
The real world is the world of the living, and the life force maintains the connection between the landing master Mahata and the world of the living.
The one behind the real world is the world of the dead, and the less life force there is, the weaker the connection with the real world, the clearer the world of the dead.
With the dissipation of life force, the world of the dead slowly appeared in front of Lu Shi's eyes.
The first thing he saw was the magnificent mountains and land, which was peaceful and quiet, with many plants and flowers that he had never seen before.
With the clarity and completeness of the world of the dead, in the depths of the distant mountains, he saw a gate, the gate was tall and straight to the sky, the majestic and magnificent mountains were like small stones in front of the gate, the gate was golden, and a soft light shot out from the gate, enveloping himself, and the warm light that shrouded him before he died and helped him dispel the fear in his heart was shot out from the gate of the world of the dead.
"It is the gate of the legendary Holy Land! Only the most valiant warriors are entitled to enter after death! This is countless times more spectacular than I imagined! This is the world of the dead, I was summoned to the gate of the Holy Land, and my life's brave battles have been recognized!"
The last life force in Lu Shi Zhen's body was dissipating, but he no longer had fear, instead there was a frenzy, and he was now eager for the life force to dissipate faster.
Even, Lu Shi Zhenwan couldn't wait for his life force to completely dissipate, he stood up desperately, and walked towards the gate with great strides towards the life force that was still dissipating.
