Chapter 20: The Evil God's Incense
Inside the sprawling temple.
Lin Chu crossed Erlang's legs, leaning on the throne without any gods, and there was curiosity and doubt in his eyes under the shadow.
In the air in front of him, a light scarlet mist of human height was floating, and this scarlet mist was constantly churning and surging, and a vague shadow could be faintly seen in it, as if it was roaring and struggling wildly, but it was unable to break free from the shackles of the power of the dream realm.
"Is this what is called mental pollution?"
Lin Chu looked at the scarlet mist, as the owner of the dream, he could completely feel all kinds of negative emotions and a faint sense of consciousness in it.
Yes, it's consciousness, that's why dreams catch its presence.
It's just that the consciousness in this scarlet mist is not the same as the consciousness of normal people, it is too simple, and it is not as complex as normal people.
It seemed to be lurking in Li Chenghai's consciousness before, and it was not revealed until Li Chenghai recited the spiritual incantation.
"Does this thing create delirium hallucinations?
Lin Chu stared at the shadow in the mist, his fingertips lightly tapped on the armrest of the divine seat, and thought quietly.
"If this thing can make people lose themselves and degenerate into apostles of evil gods, then I am afraid it is personality...... Or maybe it's a change in consciousness......"
"It's kind of like being swallowed up by a para-personality. ”
"While practicing spiritual spells, you will also be eroded by this scarlet mist because of the perception of certain existences, and gradually form an 'evil god personality', the longer the erosion lasts, the stronger the evil god's personality becomes, and gradually swallow up your own personality, leaving only the personality that obeys the evil god......"
"If you think so, it makes sense. ”
Lin Chu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Could it be that this is the reason for the Hope Alliance to exterminate the religion?" but...... If it's just this reason, I don't feel like it, in the past hundred years, I'm afraid I don't know how many evil god apostles have been born, I'm afraid there are deeper reasons......"
He thought for a long time, and suddenly showed a smile:
"Is this the culprit that prevents members of the religion from being able to practice to a higher level?"
"If that's the only reason, my dream ability just restrains this so-called spiritual pollution, and it can completely allow religious members to practice without scruples......"
Judging from his understanding, the most critical reason why today's religious members have limited achievements and are much worse than those of the ancient gods is spiritual pollution!
Take the Valhalla Temple as an example, Li Chenghai and Bilos are both like this, because they are afraid of spiritual pollution and don't want to lose themselves, so they have never dared to practice spiritual spells, and their spiritual power cannot progress, so the strength of the Heroic Spirit stays at the 'high level of the professional level'.
It's just that Li Chenghai's situation is more serious, and he has reached the point where he may lose himself at any time, that is, the so-called verge of degeneration.
But now, Lin Chu has pulled out the 'evil god consciousness' that lurked in the depths of Li Chenghai's consciousness!
And Li Chenghai's spiritual pollution has also been eliminated, and he has returned to normal, and he no longer has to worry about losing himself and becoming an evil god apostle!
Even if Li Chenghai practiced the spiritual spell again and was polluted again, as long as he came to Lin Chu's dream realm to draw out the evil god consciousness, Lin Chu would be able to clear his spiritual pollution again!
In front of him, the greatest problem of religious members has been solved.
"Good. ”
Lin Chu showed a hint of a smile, "It's a bit unreliable to instruct believers only by the identity of a god, but now that I am driven by real interests, even if I am not a true god, to them, there is no difference from a true god." ”
He looked up at the faint scarlet mist in mid-air, it was time to deal with this evil god consciousness.
"Break it. ”
Lin Chuxin's mind moved.
The figure in the scarlet mist suddenly disappeared silently, without the slightest power to resist.
In the dream world, he, as the master, is invincible.
However, the scarlet mist did not disappear because of this, and it still floated in mid-air, but it no longer swayed and struggled, and became much quieter.
Lin Chu stared at the scarlet mist, and was about to make it disappear as well, but suddenly there was a strong urge in his heart.
Soak it up!
Absorb it!
Lin Chu took a deep breath and tried his best to restrain this impulse, feeling a little suspicious in his heart:
"How can I feel this way? Can I absorb it? What if ...... What should I do if I lose myself and become an apostle of evil gods?"
He hesitated for a while, but instead of following his heart's wishes, he decided to try.
The scarlet mist was immediately controlled, and from it a fingernail-sized mass was split, which was only a tiny fraction for the nearly human-tall mist, so faint that it was almost invisible.
If it's just that, even if there is really mental pollution, he will definitely be able to resist it.
"Come on you. ”
As soon as Lin Chu's mind moved, the scarlet mist that was a little bigger than his fingernails, almost invisible, floated towards him.
He slowly raised his hand, letting his fingertips touch the scarlet mist.
The next moment-
The scarlet mist, which could only be barely distinguished by the naked eye, instantly submerged into Lin Chu's body, like a drop of water falling into the desert, and was absorbed in an instant.
To be precise, the body in this dream is actually consciousness.
"Huh?"
Lin Chu couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
At this moment, he actually felt that his dream ability had grown a little!
Although the growth is small, it can be felt!
Before his death, after the dream realm grew and evolved out of the realm, he didn't grow at all, as if he had reached the limit, and now he actually made progress again?
"My dream ability can actually absorb this mist that pollutes the spirit?"
While Lin Chu was overjoyed, a trace of doubt rose in his heart, and for a while he recalled the mysterious giant shadow he encountered on Jiutai Mountain, and remembered the rubbing text on the last page of the canon......
Perhaps, what is the connection between this?
He took a deep breath, leaving these completely unaware thoughts behind him, and his gaze returned to the faint scarlet mist in midair.
"Continue to absorb it, but you can only take it slowly, otherwise what if there is mental pollution......
Lin Chu controlled the scarlet mist from his heart and separated out a small clump, this time it was much larger than before, a palm-sized clump of mist, under his control, floated towards him.
Immediately, it merged into his consciousness.
His dream ability is like a riverbed that has dried up for a long time, and when he encounters a glass of water, he absorbs it in an instant, leaving nothing behind.
And he didn't feel any mental pollution at all, the so-called delirium, visual hallucinations, and auditory hallucinations were all gone, as if they didn't exist for him at all.
At the same time, Lin Chu also felt that his dream ability had grown significantly!
"Good. ”
He couldn't help but smile, "Go on." ”
Another basketball-sized cloud of scarlet mist split out and floated towards him.
After fusing this scarlet mist, he still didn't feel any tainted feelings, and his dream ability took another big step forward!
"I didn't expect that pretending to be a god would have such a good thing?"
Lin Chu looked at the scarlet mist happily and excitedly, and simply directly controlled the remaining cloud of scarlet mist that was more than ninety percent and floated towards him.
If you absorb all of this large cloud of scarlet mist, I don't know how much progress will be made?
At the moment when the scarlet mist entered his body, he felt as if he had taken a big tonic for his dream ability, and he made a significant leap in an instant, and began to grow at an astonishing speed!
However, just when the scarlet mist in his consciousness was still six or seven percent left, his dream ability suddenly stopped growing.
It's like touching a certain boundary, and I've grown to the limit.
"Did you reach the limit so quickly......
Lin Chu frowned slightly, carefully feeling the remaining scarlet mist existing in his consciousness, and found that the dream ability was obviously still in a very hungry state, and he wanted to continue to absorb it, but he couldn't absorb it.
It's like a cup full of water, even if there is still water, you can't pour it in.
"Strange, why can't it be absorbed?"
Lin Chu rubbed his temples, and suddenly thought of a possibility: "Could it be ...... Is it because I can't bear it anymore? because of my body, because of my consciousness, or both?"
Before his death, the dream ability could not grow, because the tumor in his head had grown to the limit, and the mortal body could not withstand the dream ability.
And although the body of the Heroic Spirit does not have this problem, I am afraid that it also has a limit to endure.
"I guess it will take me to grow up before I can withstand stronger dream abilities......"
Lin Chu thought for a moment, "In this way, we can only start with the ritual power of the Demon God Eater or other religions.
"Hmm, I don't know what professional talent I have?"
He felt the remaining scarlet mist that coexisted with his consciousness again, still silently staying in his consciousness, unable to absorb it, but not trying to erode him in the slightest.
"Forget it, just keep it, and absorb it when I can withstand stronger dream abilities. ”
Lin Chu shook his head slightly, and thought again: "However, this scarlet mist doesn't have a name, what should it be called?"
"Hmm...... Let's call it 'Evil God Incense'. ”
In the future, as long as more religious members are admitted, there will also be more evil gods!
