For creatures that only have one life, death is the most terrifying existence, because death means the elimination of all possibilities; But for a world that can be infinitely reborn, the so-called "death" is just another chance to start over.

On Earth, this fear of death has given rise to concepts like heaven and hell in every civilization - people want to believe that they will enter another world after death, whether it is bad or beautiful, in short, death is not the end, and it must not be the end!

This kind of culture is not possible in the Ascension Realm.

Because the Ascension Realm itself is already beautiful enough. People are even willing to believe that they are living in a fairyland, and that they are superior immortals.

In this fairyland, they take pleasure in "fighting", and if they win, they will be glorious, but if they lose, they will just start all over again.

And their attitude towards life, because of this mechanism, is almost all frivolous.

It's very much like the mechanics of playing a game, and if a person knows that the character they control can come back to life in the base every time they die, then he will naturally choose something more fun and adventurous to play the game - even at the cost of sacrificing the character's life a few more times for it.

For people who ascend to the Heavenly Realm, the so-called "cultivation" is actually just a process of playing a game, playing a slightly boring game that can be read infinitely.

A master like Samadhi, no matter how powerful he is, in the eyes of others, he is just a top master in the game, and in the face of him, other people's fear is more of a fear of loss - after all, even if he can be reborn, death has a price, and that is the cultivation of this life.

This atmosphere in the Ascension Realm has really undergone a subtle change, that is, in the past hundred years, the nine major factions have begun to prepare to monopolize the resources of flying swords and spirit stones. For the lowest level cultivators, this is equivalent to increasing the "leveling cost" after their rebirth, and the whole game is starting to become a little difficult.

However, no matter how difficult it is, the essence of the game will not change, because in the Ascension Realm, no matter how miserable it is, everyone can live well. Don't worry about eating and drinking, the world is free to fly......

Until Wu Xiaoqing, the search and rescue team, and the Soul Eater Array, and finally, the appearance of *.

*and*, not only cut off their self-esteem and survival foundation as trapeze, but more importantly, after these two things disappeared, it was revealed that the cold and cruel rules of the game that existed in this world were revealed.

In the simplest terms, this rule is that there is no bottom line in the state of survival, and survival itself is not easy.

For the Flyers, in this game world, it is enough to kill the enemy, and as for the captivity - when the enemy can get energy replenishment anytime and anywhere, imprisoning the other party is undoubtedly a chance to take revenge.

What about being locked in a cage, as soon as people's eyes are closed, they can still recharge themselves...... Not to mention that in this process, people still have friends who have made over hundreds of thousands of years, and they will come to save people, and they will come to find trouble......

Therefore, in the Ascension Realm, imprisonment has never been a good strategy against the enemy, and gradually, this strategy has been subconsciously forgotten.

But things changed when one* destroyed the energy source for everyone on the planet.

A qualitative change has emerged - before that, time had no cost for everyone, and it could even be said that the cost was negative - because living itself was already a positive benefit.

Since everyone has an infinite lifespan, it means that the time cost of each fixed period of time is almost zero. Imprisoning a person with a finite life can allow him to live less time, but it is completely indifferent and meaningless to live for a person with an infinite life.

And now, this cost of time has arisen - first of all, naturally, there has been a serious decline in the quality of life.

Without the aura replenishment, you can't fly...... This makes the flyers almost lose the possibility of moving in a wide range in this world.

Not to mention, relying only on the spiritual energy reserves in the body after rebirth, everyone will live for half a year at most.

The world began to live in endless freedom, and suddenly became a repetition of half a year in extreme hardship, then self-killing, three months later, and half a year later.

If you don't commit suicide, you won't even be born again, so what's the difference between a whole person and "real death"?

Life suddenly went from a pleasure to a misery and struggle...... And there is no end in sight to this struggle. Infinite life is like endless torture from this point of view - it can almost be compared to an earthling, who has to eat only two days a week, and then starves for five days...... Eat for two more days...... When you think about such a day, you will feel terrible.

However, this is not the bottom line.

The most terrible thing is what the samadhi people say.

Put a trapeze man in a cage, and when he runs out of aura, put it there like a cargo...... Neither killing, nor moving......

Theoretically, there is still a possibility of resurrection for this flying man in the future, but when he is resurrected is completely out of his control - that is to say, the power of life is completely in the hands of the person who controls him.

To resist this fate, the only thing that can be done in captivity is to kill yourself before you are captured, before you can still be able to do it—if it was the previous Ascension Realm, this might still be possible, but now......

After being reborn, without the protection of the Nine Great Sects, can these people still have any ability to resist in the face of the Soul Devouring Array?

Their fate has been locked since then, or they are in a constant cycle of suicide and rebirth...... Either they end up missing, or they give up on their own initiative, and the control of their lives is in the hands of the enemy.

At that time, the other party can live when he wants, he can live as long as he wants, and he can live as much as he wants......

It was worse than hell.

"Believe me, Brother Dao," Samadhi Zhenren looked at the trembling appearance of the immortal Taoist, approached a little forward, lowered his voice, and said, "If I hadn't figured out these truths, why would I stand in front of you today and do such things that you look down on?" ”

"As you say, the big deal is death...... What a simple sentence...... But once you die, can you really do it? ”

In the One Sword Sect, the Immortal Daoist has always been known for his quick decision-making - if not, with his not outstanding cultivation, how could he be in the position of commander of the nine major factions.

In the 40 minutes before this, he had used all kinds of means in the meeting, and even did not hesitate to use the elites of the nine major factions under his command as a threat to force several elders in the Yijian Sect to hand over their virtual stones, and put full control over him, and came to negotiate on behalf of the nine major factions.

Among them, if there is a slight error in judgment, or if you fail to calculate those elders, you will be ruined.

I thought that relying on these six virtual stones, not to mention that he could scare the real person of Samadhi away, at least he should have some scruples. But I didn't expect that after the meeting, it was just a few words - the other party didn't even say a threatening word. You must know that the strength of the Samadhi Zhenren itself is a huge deterrent for the Nine Great Sects.

But the other party just said a few words, and the people who didn't fall into the Tao already felt that the current situation was really at the time when they had to descend.

In terms of military confrontation, they had already made various attempts before, but in the face of an increasingly tight and deep encirclement, the actions of the nine major factions were nothing more than a waste of spiritual energy and the loss of disciples, and there was no effective loss to the other party at all.

Naturally, the loss here does not mean killing - because people can be reborn, and the cheapest thing for the rebels is human life.

Losses refer to those Soul Eater Arrays - but judging from the fact that the number of the opponent's Soul Eater Arrays is not small, but more and more, denser and denser, and more and more subtle, it is difficult to destroy, and it is obviously impossible to expect the opponent's Soul Eater Array to be exhausted and stop the army - and this is precisely the weakest link that the Immortal Dao people thought was the most likely weak link of the resistance army before.

In the minds of the immortal Daoists, the more exquisite the magic weapons in the Ascension Realm, the smaller the number tends to be—until they were surrounded, most of the people of the Nine Great Sects still preferred that these magic weapons were found by them from the forbidden land and then transported out.

Although the forbidden land is large, it is also limited overall, and the Soul Eater Array they have seen so far, the Soul Eater Array that has been destroyed, to say the least, is tens of thousands - as long as they keep destroying it, after the Soul Eater Array gradually becomes scarce, it will naturally no longer be a threat.

The Soul Devouring Array is not like the Qianyang Finger, and the top masters, such as the Samadhi Zhenren, can run rampant through the entire Ascension Realm with a single Qianyang Finger. The Soul Devouring Array is a magic weapon that completely relies on numbers to form a strategic deterrent - if it can't be connected into a piece, and then connected into a network, to the masters of the nine major factions, this magic weapon itself is insignificant.

But they don't think that in their minds, it is incomparably precious, and destroying one thing is missing, but it is a standard industrial product made in batches on the earth, on the industrial assembly line.

Even the latest model* costs only one or two hundred, as long as the money is enough, it is how much it wants. The assembly line of the factory was running at full capacity, and the amount of production in three days was enough to fight the war for three months in the Ascension Realm.

Qinglan Consulting is to take into account the possible changes, and the amount of each batch invested before is limited, in order to be able to continuously optimize in use. And in the end, after making up his mind to fight a decisive battle and determining the final model, he almost placed an order of more than 100,000 pieces in one go - this is why the price of spirit stones began to fall on the Spirit Island.

Of course, the people who do not fall into the Tao will not be able to see the assembly line, here, on the battlefield, what they can feel is that the resistance army is putting more and more force into the compression of the encirclement network.

At the beginning, there were probably hundreds of people in each direction, and it would take a dozen soul devouring arrays to attack at most...... But now, the number of Soul Eater Arrays invested in each attack even exceeds the number of people!

Originally, the rebels were all using cheap human lives to cover the advance of the Soul Eater Array - but now, they have reversed the situation, making it clear that the Soul Eater Array will absorb firepower, and the people are more hidden behind the Soul Eater Array, responsible for carrying more Soul Eater Array to the battlefield.

Originally, destroying a Soul Eater Array only required a precise blow from a flying sword, but now, even the top masters in the sect are difficult to be sure that they can completely destroy it with a single sword.

The bulletproof-grade armor of the Soul Devouring Array was designed by Shen Changwen, a material expert, with his peers in related fields--it has been strengthened and optimized in terms of anti-slashing performance. Excellent soft armor that can almost completely absorb the slashing kinetic energy of the flying sword......

Because of the Spiritless Zone, after the battle, almost every time I attacked, I was replacing the Soul Devouring Array with a flying sword - not 1 for 1, but 2 for 1, 3 for 1......

How did so many flying swords come to be on the Spirit Island? Obviously, these were captured on the battlefield. Most of the rebels, in such an offensive, collect loot and exchange batteries for batteries in the rear, which will be used as an energy source for their continued survival.

A few heads may not be clear, but as the commander, the Daoist is naturally clear about this - the nine major factions have now reached the end of their crossbows. A lot of things that I thought about before the war have changed dramatically now - I thought that aura was the key, who would have thought that until now, there are still so many aura, but the flying sword is no longer enough!
