Chapter 253: The Power of Ash
There is no doubt that pain is an unliked emotion.
This probably stems from the emotion of suffering, because it is only when human beings are forced to experience something that they are extremely repulsive that they can only have such emotions as painful.
And just like the relationship between happiness and pleasure, pain itself means sadness, sadness, or simply gives rise to emotions like anger, depending on the human definition of emotions, many of which are inextricably linked, and even one emotion contains another, which is a strange definition that is inexplicable.
Human beings show different emotions because they have endured different things.
When you are full, you will be satisfied, and if you find your other half, you will fall in love, and you will be happy if you can live every day as you think.
On the other hand, it hurts to be hurt, anger to provoke, sadness and sadness when a loved one or loved one has left, and all of these can be called pain.
According to the evil gods, suffering is the anger of human beings against their own impotence.
Almost any negative emotion can be associated with pain.
If you die of your wife, you will be in pain.
Dead a household register, more painful.
Being hung upside down and cut with a knife is of course painful.
Another example is that the family is usually very happy, but suddenly being turned green by the old king next door, it must be very painful.
Or to put it another way, when you are very rich, you suddenly go bankrupt, and all kinds of people come to your door to force debts, which is undoubtedly painful.
Just as happiness contains most positive emotions, pain also contains most negative emotions, so the emotion of pain is indeed the most efficient emotion among negative emotions, as the evil god said.
So, if Mo Ren is really ready to activate the gray lines, then pain will undoubtedly be his first choice.
As for sacrificing happiness, Mo Ren didn't care about this for a long time, as long as he could become stronger, even if he lost happiness, lost happiness, and lost all joy and joy, what could he do?
Similarly, since he doesn't even want happiness Moren, then he definitely won't care about love, he won't care about joy, and he won't blindly expect some things.
The only one that is a little troublesome may be Dauntless.
Mo Ren was a little unsure of the specific meaning of this emotion for a moment, whether it represented courage or something else?
"Forget it......"
Shaking his head, Mo Ren's side simply constructed a sacrificial circle, and then by throwing out a few negative coins as a price, the evil god took away his fearlessness within an hour.
"Hmm, is that how it feels?"
Mo Ren quietly experienced the emotional changes in his heart now, he tried hard to fantasize about some imaginary enemies, or constantly thought about what he was going to do next, and found that fearlessness was really similar to bravery and other emotions, after losing his courage, Mo Ren found that he was a little timid when he did anything, always worried about failure, even if he fought with the enemy, he would not move forward, but became too worried, which was indeed a little different from his previous self.
Of course, this is not a purely bad thing.
Because Mo Ren found another way of acting in himself, such as replacing courage with other emotions.
With anger, with fear, with hatred, these negative emotions, if used properly, can also do things similar to courage in a sense.
Let's take an analogy.
Suppose there is a person who is very timid from the beginning, and he does not have the courage to come forward to subdue the other party when he sees a robber running around, and then finds that the robber rushed into his home, killed his parents, and abused his wife in various ways, and finally chopped off his daughter's head, then this person must have gone crazy directly.
Infinite malice and anger would swallow his reason, and the fear of losing his loved ones would break him, so he changed his usual cowardice and carried a knife to kill the robber.
This is not a good example, but it is a reasonable explanation.
Sometimes, a lot of negative emotions can really make a person look different in a short period of time.
Of course, Mo Ren must be different from the timid man before, because although Mo Ren has lost his courage, his wisdom still exists, which means that he can accurately calculate many unexpected factors, and after eliminating these dangers, he can directly use anger, fear, or hatred to urge himself, and let these infinite negative breaths replace this "courage".
"Well, it does seem to work. β
After thinking about it for a while, Mo Ren also nodded with satisfaction, and then once again called out the evil god through the sacrificial array.
"I've decided to activate the power of the gray line. β
After summoning the evil god, of course, Mo Ren didn't talk nonsense, he directly talked to the billowing gray mist.
"Ah quack quack!!" After hearing Mo Ren's words, the evil god here looked extremely excited, and even his laughter became even more weird: "Sacrifice! Sacrifice all your positive emotions to me!!!"
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing that the evil god seemed to be going crazy, Mo Ren couldn't help frowning, but after hesitating for a while, he still said it directly to the evil god.
"I will sacrifice my love, my happiness, my joy, my fearlessness, and my hope. β
"Quack Quack !!"
After hearing Mo Ren say these positive emotions, the evil god let out an unprecedented terrifying laugh, his evil had even broken through the sacrificial circle at this moment, completely enveloping the entire underground base in this endless gray, an incomparably evil, incomparably cruel cold aura began to seep into the surrounding stone walls, infiltrated into all the facilities and tools, and even the water droplets on the top of the cave turned into a terrifying pale gray.
After Mo Ren sacrificed his positive emotions, the power of the evil god was almost boiling and reveling.
These gray air waves are constantly surging from the underground base, and the incomparably evil force field even triggers the local celestial phenomena, the original black sky dome with bright moon and sparse stars, I don't know when it has been covered with gray-black terrible dark clouds, these dark clouds are different from ordinary rain clouds, they are constantly surging without any wind interference, an indescribable evil spreads from inside, this terrible evil and cruelty is so amazing, so that all the creatures within hundreds of miles around are instinctively trembling, as if they have encountered some kind of natural enemy, all creatures, whether it is jackals, tigers and leopards, or rats, poultry, humansEven the fish in the ocean, the plants rooted in the soil, are trembling at this moment......
"Hey, hey, hey, since you're willing to accept my power, then I'll give you a little extra benefit!"
Unlike the previous sound that only sounded in the sacrificial circle, the voice of the evil god suddenly expanded to infinitely distant places at this moment, and even the entire heaven and earth echoed with that terrifying sound.
And after the evil god said this, the dark clouds that rolled in the sky began to slowly disperse, revealing a lonely gray sky.
At some point, the original darkness of the night was gone, replaced by a strange gray sky, this gray was filled with an indescribable dead silence, this gray sky had no clouds, no color, no birds, maybe not even gas, an indescribable desolation and dead silence filled this gray sky.
But on this heavenly dome, which should have been nothing, a gray-black sun hung high on it.
This gray-black sun emits the only gray light source, and wherever its light shines, it completely renders a gray color, as if it has taken away all other colors, leaving only this dead and desolate gray to exist in the world.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
With the appearance of this round of gray-black sun, a burst of evil laughter suddenly sounded between the entire heaven and earth.
And after that, a trace of gray suddenly flashed on the gray black sun that was not known how far away, and in the blink of an eye, a thick gray pillar of light shot straight to the ground.
This pillar of light shot directly at the surface above Mo Ren's location, straight through the rocks and soil hundreds of meters deep, and then shone straight on his body from the top of the cave, causing the surface of his body to change rapidly.
"It's ......"
Mo Ren still retained consciousness at the moment, of course he also saw that thick gray pillar of light hit him, but this pillar of light did not have the coldness in the previous gray mist, but was filled with an indescribable warmth, this warmth was like suddenly jumping into a hot spring in the winter, even Mo Ren, who had never been greedy for enjoyment, couldn't help but nod slightly at this moment.
Honestly, it doesn't feel bad.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
The laughter of the evil god echoed throughout the heavens and the earth again, as if it was very satisfied at the moment.
And with the laughter of the evil god, Mo Ren soon realized that the changes had taken place in him, and the positive emotions that had been sacrificed before were disappearing from his brain at a very fast speed.
The understanding and yearning for love, the pursuit and luxury of happiness, the thirst for joy, the pursuit of courage, and the trust of expectation.
All of these things disappeared little by little in the laughter of the evil god.
Mo Ren tried hard to recall what these positive emotions represented, but apart from some literal memories, he could no longer feel the true meaning of these emotions.
These things were completely taken away by the evil god in a way that Mo Ren couldn't understand.
For some reason, Mo Ren felt that his eyes seemed to be a little sour.
This surprised him slightly.
It was a feeling that Mo Ren had never experienced before, and even he didn't know why it was so.
But under the warm gray light, Mo Ren couldn't help but cry.
This is not crying, because Mo Ren's subjective consciousness does not have any sadness or sadness, but with his cultivation and self-mastery of body control, he can't control the two tear ducts in his eyes at this moment, which is indeed a bit strange.
"Is my body grieving?"
Mo Ren wiped his face with his hands, looking at these clear and slightly salty liquids with some confusion.
"Hey, hey, kid, you don't have to be sad. Probably seeing Mo Ren's appearance at this moment, the voice of the evil god echoed in the heavens and the earth again: "Although you have lost those positive emotions, you can also try to gain comfort through these negative emotions, this is the most precious thing for human beings!"
"Really?"
Mo Ren shook his head, unwilling to discuss this kind of question with the evil god, so he also asked something else directly: "Is it already over?"
"That's right, it's over. β
The evil god laughed again: "Hehe, boy, go through it carefully, I'm sure you'll be satisfied......"
"Oh, then you go back first, I'll just experience it myself. β
Mo Ren nodded casually, and then closed his eyes directly, for some reason he was a little tired now and wanted to rest for a while.
"Hey, hey, hey, as you wish......"
As the last words of the evil god echoed between the whole heaven and earth, all the visions began to disappear at a very fast speed, the gray sun wheel and the gray sky looked like a huge and boundless eye at first glance, and at this moment I don't know if it was an illusion, this eye seemed to show a very satisfied look, and then the gray dark clouds slowly closed the eyes like eyelids, and then these dark clouds began to sink, gradually seeping into the ground, and began to gather in the direction where Mo Ren was, and the trembling creatures before also felt a lightness in their hearts, as if some natural enemy had left themγ
Inside the underground base, nothing is as calm as the outside world.
All of these gathered gray mist did not return to the sacrificial circle, they began to gather around Mo Ren for some reason, constantly squeezing themselves, stacking and intertwining with each other, and letting out bursts of indescribable sharp howls.
After that, with an earth-shattering bang, the terrifying shockwave directly collapsed the entire underground cave where Mo Ren was.
"Whoa!"
As two broad and heavy palms slowly stretched out from the pile of rubble, Mo Ren also slowly walked out of the collapsed ruins little by little.
However, his hands were not empty.
At some point, there was a heavy gray cloth on his right hand.
"This thing ......"
After coming out of those sharp gravels, Mo Ren also glanced down at the gray fabric in his palm, and after discovering that this thing was just the simplest square cloth, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
