Human desire is a good thing for the devil, and if the soul is a chaotic thread, then desire is a thread exposed by the thread. For the devil like Feige, the desires of man in his soul are still a good thing. Whether it's greed or curiosity, whether it's fear or nervousness, it can now be used to make sure that you haven't been affected by Old Man's divine power.

"You never check your soul less than three hundred times a day. The old man said, "I said I wouldn't affect your soul, can't you believe me?"

"I'm losing a lot in the investment area of trust, so I'm going to be very cautious. Feige looked up, his skeletal mask-like face looking at the white spirit of the god floating beside him. "I don't know if you've noticed a change: a few months ago, your divine power was protecting my soul, and now, your divine power is protecting yourself and my soul. Why is that?"

"Any top-tier devil can be compared to a god, and the threat is always mutual. I've taught you the spells you know, and you should be careful. ”

"I'm not interested in your powers, so to speak. And on the soul level, it is still you who surround me, not the other way around me and I threaten you. Feiqi shook his head and said, "Although you taught me spells, you are only retelling the effects of those spells, and none of these spells can perfectly fit our current predicament. ”

The old man bowed slightly: "The situation we encountered has never happened in history, and it is normal that there is no corresponding spell." Haven't you turned the golem vision into your own spell?"

"I've already finished the puppet vision, but ......," Feige sighed and said, "Old man, how long has it been since you came up with any innovative ideas and spells? ”

The old man opened his mouth, stopped talking, and then became unusually silent. Seeing this expression, Feige knew that he was right. After becoming the god of spellcasters, the identity of the old man changed from a researcher to a protector, and those divine powers filled his soul, like pouring cement into the trunk of a tree, infiltrating every cell. Trees do become stronger as a result, but at the same time, they lose their vitality and vitality.

Under the protection of the old man, the casters will definitely come up with new spells and create new magic, but the old man has permanently lost this ability. Over the years, Feige has asked him many times about the same question, "Is there any way to solve the current dilemma", and his answer has either been "no way" or "you can try the puppet vision first".

With no other caster to provide inspiration, the old man was just a store, search, and protector of knowledge, a relatively powerful and mobile library. The old man currently has the knowledge of "anti-three", but has lost the wisdom of "lifting one", and Feige points out this problem, which naturally makes him fall into depression.

Feige is not a psychiatrist, and has neither the ability nor the heart to help him deal with his depression. When he studied the relationship between "soul, body, and senses", many new questions arose. So he took out the Picture Book again, spread it on his knees, and began to study it again.

He has read this "Painted Leather Book" more than 100 times, and the words and pictures in it have long been familiar to him, and many places can be said to be like reciting them backwards. It's just that people who love to read and often read know that when they read from different starting points, what they see and think will be different. Previously, Feige was thinking about how to add new states to the form that the Lust Demon already had, but now he was thinking about the relationship between the various states.

"How do they coexist?"

It has long been established that the multiple forms of Lust are not "shapeshifting". If it is a metamorphosis, it is certainly impossible to "transform" into another state after death in one state, especially in the state of being burned to ashes. Feige is well aware that each state is independent, they recover separately after being injured, and they also have to prepare separately if they want to use the magic matrix. The only thing these states have in common is that they are all controlled by the soul.

"Ah, soul, soul ......" Feige muttered to himself as he read the devil's words in the Painted Leather Book, "What are you, and what secrets are you hiding?"

Since the various forms of lust are isolated from each other, where are they stored? "Hidden in the soul" is just a general thing, and it does not explain where and what state it is. It's like the description of the golem's Psionic Spell: use the golem's desire for souls to reverse the connection and thus form control. If you stay at this level, you will never be able to go any further, using its hidden principles to develop new spells in response to the new situation facing Feige.

After reading the book for a long time, I was more impressed by the words in it, but I still didn't come up with anything. At this time, the demons of the territorial ground fortress are fighting again, and the one-on-one battle between the desire demon and the ice demon will usually end in the victory of the latter, but the blood spilled in the whole process can let the devils vent their thirst for tyranny. Feige sighed, and he tricked these demons into taking them as guards and builders. Usually in the fortress, there is no strict hierarchy, and everyone is idle and panicked. You can't be brutal to others, you can't be brutal internally, and then there will be gladiatorial fights.

Even if you die, you can go outside to recruit again. The devil of hell is a consumable, different from mortal humans in this respect. Their ...... Souls either come to Hell according to their evil and orderly nature, or they come to Hell because of the restrictions of their living contracts, and then they are nurtured by Hell and turn most of their power into energy to feed Hell Run, and the remaining empty shells are combined with the dirt that is everywhere in Hell to create bad demons. Bad demons are almost worthless, and they progress through evil, whipping, and almost never-ending work to accumulate some hellish goodwill. Climb the steps of the Devil's level long enough, and the Bad Demon can also become a Hellpurgatory.

Lust is not taken this route, lust is transformed from fallen angels. Although he is a devil, only the demon of lust has the "Painted Leather Book", which has many forms. Why are demons so unique, what happens if the rituals of the Painted Book are applied to other types of demons, and what can be found through this comparison?

Thinking of this, Feige put away his book, left the throne, and went to the ground fortress. As the gladiatorial fight drew to a close, the Ice Demon had gained the absolute upper hand, freezing the Lust's legs and cutting off half of its wings, leaving only a way to find a way to kill the opponent and claim victory. The devils are shouting loudly, hoping to see the most exciting death. At this time, Feiqi walked out and said to the ice demon in the sky, "Wait a minute, can you hand over this desire demon to me?"

"Ahh

There were some sighs of dissatisfaction from the audience, which have become more frequent in recent days. It is against nature to leave the devil here not to fight and do evil, and hell is also expressing itself with sighs. If this continues, these demons will rebel sooner or later, and Feige has two choices: one is to let them go to the second world as soon as possible to do evil, and the other is to reduce their numbers, or replace the old ones with new ones.

The demon on the ground struggled, her legs were frozen in ice, and she could only crawl on the ground with her arms, leaving a series of water marks behind her. Feige stepped forward, his right hand turning into a pointed claw, and then gradually becoming translucent. This is the claw of the mind demon manipulating the soul, between matter and energy, it can easily pierce the skin of the desire demon, all the way deep into the soul.

The rituals recorded in the "Painted Leather Book" are all about the desire of the demons, but there is a hidden problem in this: Asmodeirs, who invented this ritual, is not a demon, and even if it designed the demons, how can he verify the effectiveness of the magic ritual? Feige believes that Asmodeirs must have used a large number of desires as experiments, conducted countless cruel experiments, and then wrote the results—and only the results—in the "Painted Leather Book".

Feige unfolded his evil aura and forcibly advanced the ritual with all his mana, without pools of blood, soul maggots, and other elements. Such a "mess" will inevitably lead to failure. The demon screamed, and the soul quickly collapsed in Feiqi's hands, and it only took a moment for him to be demoted to an inferior demon.

Feige withdrew his fingers from the muddy demon and stood in place with a blank expression. Failure was the result he had expected, and failure was also the state he was meant to achieve. People always mistakenly think that they can learn from the success of others, and they forget that success is just a special case of a large number of failures, just a stage of "points", and the real experience is hidden in the "line" composed of a large number of failures.

Compared with those who fail on this path, he is indeed successful, but he is trapped in the "point" of success, and can no longer make progress. He didn't stop thinking, he stopped trial and error. Wisdom, in essence, is nothing more than generating an idea, then exhaustively enumerating all the circumstances, diligently cultivating mistakes, and digging out occasional successes from them.

A demon of lust dies and is reduced to a bad demon, and Feige returns her soul power to Hell. Hell was a little satisfied, but Fitch wasn't satisfied at all, and he extended his claws to the Ice Demon. "You damage my property without my consent, this is your punishment!"

If the ritual of the Painted Book is applied to the Ice Demon, the defeat will be more violent, and the Ice Demon will be demoted to the Inferior Demon at a more painful and rapid rate.

This scene terrifies all the devils. In hell, although the punishment for the devil to annoy the superior is a demotion, it is very rare to directly demote the demon to the inferior demon. Feige's hand in front of everyone was so cruel that it was enough to shock the soul even to the devil. They all stepped back, expressions of fear, but they were also making eye contact with each other. This shows that Feige's mind control has reached a dangerous limit, and if he demotes it again, I am afraid that the devils will break through the control, unite and overthrow the "brutal master" for their own benefit.

"If you don't have anything to do, go and see if there are any suitable territories to conquer around you, or ask if there are any suitable other worlds where you can harvest souls. Feige retracted his claws, which made the devils relax considerably. "Fighting and killing each other here, wasting all my property and your time!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and walked straight back to the underground throne hall, allowing the demons to return to their stable state. Later, Feige discovers in the eyes of Koktar that there are two more bad demons in the castle, and they naturally become the targets of other devils to abuse and vent, which makes the whole situation stable. Obviously, this is a good thing, as long as you provide a lower status and easier to bully, it will be more difficult for the devil to notice that he has fewer and fewer companions around him.

Feige catches the devil with a three-barrel circle and then experiments in the training grounds. As long as the teleportation ability of the devils is blocked with dimensional anchors, all that remains is the collision of flesh and blood and the confrontation of spells. Not every victim demon will be honestly persuaded by the Mind Turning Demon to obediently accept the spell test, and Feige is not invincible in the world. However, he has multiple status clones and cannot be killed, so he can always emerge victorious - as long as he doesn't provoke high-level demons such as the Deep Hell Purgatory and the Horned Demon.

The Bad Demons who survived the battle huddled in corners, scrambling to show their loyalty to Feige for a chance to survive - only to be killed by Feige and thrown into the River Styx. The continuous ritual of the Painted Book makes Feige even more ruthless, but only then can he get closer to the essence of the soul.

"Your soul is starting to terrify me. The old man finally stopped worrying about the problem that he didn't have any innovation after becoming a god, and returned to the state of liking preaching. This shows that his divine fire and soul have been completely solidified together, and no change can happen. Although Feige is sympathetic, he can't do much, he still has to take care of himself first. After looking at the state of his soul, Feige said:

"Asmodeirs left a lot of knowledge in the Picture Book, some of which he may not have been able to use himself. Azus, the answer we want is in the Painted Leather Book, and in this regard, Asmodeirs has miscalculated. ”

"Are you crazy? You can't just say his name! Your words will be amplified by divine power and spread far and wide in the hearing world of the gods! The one who will hear it, we will expose it!"

Feige shook his head, not dwelling on him on the issue. The point at which the old man had to stay has been left behind by the "line" he groped out through failure. "The Painted Leather Book is a ritual that provides multiple states for demons, Ah ...... The one who stuffed your divine power into my body, using spells related to the Painted Leather Book. I dare say that the one who studied a lot of things systematically and only took a small part of them and wrote this book. In the hands of any other demon, this book is a complete, self-consistent system - but what I do best is cracking the system. ”

"Legend has it that one is one of the oldest beings in the entire multiverse, but it certainly can't imagine that the small tail it left behind in the Painted Leather Book ritual, this redundant rune part that seems to be just to increase the stability of the circle, exposes its larger spell ritual. Fei Qi said to the old man: "The rituals on the "Painted Leather Book" are all acting on oneself, but this self is not limited to the desire demon, and that one has also used it on himself. No one knows its true body, only seen it resembling a human being, with horns on its head. Those are not doppelgangers of gods, but more akin to the painted skin state of the demon. ”

"I know you don't understand. Fei Qi smiled at the old man and said, "The above are my inferences, if you are right, the following spell ritual should allow you to enter the soul level." Old man, I invite you to come and see my soul. ”

After saying that, Feiqi summoned a magic matrix, and tens of thousands of runes flew out and flew around the training room, occupying every inch of space. They line up a ritual circle that has never been more complex than ever before.
