Chapter 549: The Mystery of Reincarnation (I)
The world is vast, and even Emperor Zhang can't see the end at a glance.
Compared to the Divine Realm and the Nine Heavens Realm, the area of the Sanctuary World is like an elephant and an ant. However, it is also much larger than the area of the earth and even the Vientiane Cave Heaven and the Qianyang Realm. And there is still a certain half-plane in the shelter world. This is enough to prove that this world has the perfection of ordinary small worlds.
And such a world is opened up with a world stone, which fully reflects the strong cherishing of the world stone.
As for the source of the World Stone, Zhang Hao has not yet figured it out. However, he doesn't believe much in the game's information about the World Stone.
Speaking of the origin of the World Stone in the game, we must first talk about the overall background and world view of the game Diablo. The world of Diablo is supposed to be made up of four worlds right now. The most basic and important is the so-called Chaos Realm.
The Chaos Realm is like the universe in the starry sky cosmology. Heaven and hell and the sanctuary world are planets in the universe.
It's just a metaphor. In fact, the Diablo world should belong to the crystal wall system, not the starry sky universe.
In the background information, after the birth of the Chaos Realm, there were two great gods, Anu and Tasammet. These two seem to be born to look at each other unpleasantly, and they have been fighting each other for an unknown number of years, and as a result, both of them are defeated and died at the same time. And the World Stone is the embodiment of Anu's eyes.
After Anu's death, the body was transformed into the highest heaven. Tassamet's body was burned to hell. Angels and demons were born in the High Heaven and the Burning Hell, and the two sides continued to be at war. And the reason for belligerence is to fight for the World Stone.
Until someone in the top echelons of both sides despaired of the endless war and stole the World Stone and opened up a sanctuary world in the Chaos Realm. When Heaven and Hell track down the traitors, they discover the Sanctuary World, and the traitors either die or disappear, and the Sanctuary World becomes a belligerent factory between Heaven and the Territory. It seems that they are also a little tired of the direct war with heavy losses, and have replaced it with a more urbane way of competing through the shelter world.
This background information is unreasonable in the eyes of Emperor Zhang. If the World Stone was transformed by Anu's eyes, how could it be worth the countless years of war between the two camps? If Anu can leave the World Stone, but not Tassamet? The two myths are on the same level.
Therefore, Emperor Zhang felt that the World Stone was likely to be the treasure left over from the opening of the Chaos Realm, and Anu and Tasammet fought endlessly to fight for it. Of course, this is just his guess, and whether it is correct or not has yet to be verified.
It may also be that after Anu and Tassamet, who were tasked with opening up the world, died together, the essence left behind gathered to form the World Stone.
Speaking of which, Zhang Dadi is still very interested in Anu and Tasamet in the background information. These two feel a little similar to Pangu. Of course, their transformation into the world does not seem voluntary. And the opening up of the world of heaven and hell cannot be compared with the opening up of a world like the flood and the wilderness.
But there is no doubt that the cultivation of these two mythical artifacts is absolutely extraordinary.
Judging from the cultivation path that Zhang Hao now understands, these two will definitely surpass the Blue Emperor. But looking at it now, whether it is Heaven and Hell or the Shelter World, the highest ceiling of cultivation is the Heavenly Immortals. This seems to indicate that the world is not perfect, at least not in line with the cultivation of Anu and Tasammet.
Emperor Zhang wanted to know exactly what caused this situation, which was a great help for him to see the way forward.
Well, the story about Anu and Tassamet, which is not very useful now. It's just a thought that naturally emerged in Zhang Hao's mind at this time. Now the focus is still on the World Stone.
No matter what the origin of the World Stone is, but Zhang Hao has now determined that it is precious to himself, so he must not miss it. As for the rest, when the World Stone is in hand, or when it is traced to the end of the long river of time in the Diablo world, it will naturally be able to understand clearly.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hao withdrew his gaze into the distance, swept over the three Akara who were parked not far away from the Human Emperor Jinzhou, signaled to the female officials beside him, and then ignored it, and turned to think about the second thing that Fang had just discovered.
The magic carpet that the three of Akara were riding on had already taken the initiative to stop to the side when the Human Emperor Golden Boat flew over. The three of them were thinking about what to do. How about the place to take the initiative to greet you, how the other party doesn't pay attention to it, and so on.
When the Human Emperor Jinzhou stopped, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, but then their bodies tensed, and they stood firmly on the magic carpet, not daring to move. It's not that they lack the courage and wisdom to deal with the unknown powerhouse. It was completely caused by the pressure of Haoran transmitted on the Golden Boat of the Human Emperor.
This is not deliberate on the part of the Human Emperor Jin Zhou and Zhang Hao or the palace maids above, and even the Human Emperor Jin Zhou has suppressed his breath. But the Human Emperor Jin Zhou is too powerful, especially for the three of Akara.
It's like a small beast, facing a divine beast that devours the sky and the earth. Even if the beast didn't pay attention to the little beast, the little beast still couldn't move under the instinctive fear. The three Akara were not members of the Daqian system and did not receive preferential treatment, so it was normal for them to react.
A magnificent starlight bridge spread out from the Emperor's Golden Boat, and two dignified and gentle female officials, escorted by several guards, followed the Starlight Bridge to the magic carpet.
The female officer at the head was slightly blessed, and the unfamiliar but gentle and beautiful etiquette, especially the strength of the other party's forces inadvertently, made the three of Akara a slightly at a loss. Fortunately, they are all the top powerhouses in this world, and they have completely risen and struggled in hardships and hardships, and their minds are not bad. According to the etiquette of this world, each of them returns the salute.
"Your Majesty is clear about your origin and intentions, and I invite you three to come aboard with me. There may also be one of your companions on board, who we rescued by accident while cleaning up the monsters. As for your questions, we will answer some of them, and we can also let your companions inform you.
However, there are still some problems, which need to be decided by His Majesty. Please ......," said the female officer, Wen Yan,
Hearing this, the three Akara could only nod their heads and hesitate, and Kasha stepped on the Starlight Bridge first, Akara followed, and Varif put away the magic carpet and followed last. Kasha and Varif glanced at each other, and found that the other party was completely defenseless against them, and their hearts were inexplicable.
This situation can be said to be friendly to the other party, and it can be said that the other party does not take the three of them seriously at all. But now is not the time to think about that. Hearing the female officer mention her companion, they thought for a moment who it was.
Kane is also well-known in this world. Even if he doesn't have much strength, wisdom and knowledge alone are enough to make people respect him. Earlier, he said that he sensed something wrong and wanted to go to Tristram to check it out. Akara wanted him to wait and send someone to protect him, but the guy quietly left.
Because Kane often goes out to explore, at first Akara they don't notice anything wrong. It was only in the past two days that I felt that something was wrong, but I haven't had a chance to look for it yet. Unexpectedly, Kane was here at this time.
That's fine. The three of Akara turned the thought around. With scholars like Kane here, an understanding of this unknown force also helps.
The two female officials took the three of them to the Jinzhou of the Human Emperor, and whispered all the way about the origin of the great cadres and all kinds of great achievements in helping the world and saving people, so that the three of Akara couldn't help but look sluggish, and even forgot to walk at first.
The female officer was not at all surprised by this. Many of the world's natives learned that when they ruled over hundreds of worlds, they were all similar expressions.
did not take them directly to see Zhang Hao, but in a pavilion on the deck, let the three of Akara meet with Kane first. After learning about Daqian, several of them should be eager to talk to each other and determine how to act first.
This seems to be an enlightened move, but in fact, Emperor Zhang doesn't care about their thoughts at all. No matter what they thought, they couldn't stop Emperor Zhang from taking any action against this world. This is also the reason why Zhang Hao still has to think about the two things he just discovered at this time, and he is too lazy to see them at this time.
Playing with a jade Ruyi, Zhang Hao's eyes flashed, and he muttered: "Reincarnation?!" ”
Yes, the second thing he just discovered had to do with the reincarnation he had been groping for.
Reincarnation is very important, both for living beings and for the world. So far, the world discovered by Zhang Hao has not had a complete reincarnation. This is true even in the Nine Heavens Realm, where the Heavenly Emperor has appeared. That is, there were people in the Shenzhou realm who tried to open up reincarnation, but they were unsuccessful.
For living beings, reincarnation means existence. For the world, reincarnation can improve and expand the world and reduce unnecessary consumption.
There is no reincarnation, and after the death of a living being, the corpse returns to heaven and earth, which is a cycle. The monk's cultivation also returned to heaven and earth. But what about the soul that is born as a spirit, or the true spirit? It can be said that the true spirit and soul are the most precious beings of a living being, even for the world.
This is the wonder of creation, and for the world, it is the most expensive thing to be able to condense the true spirit and soul of living beings, but it is also something that must be carried out if you want to improve the instinct of the world. Without samsara, the soul and the true spirit cannot be handled well.
After the death of a living being, the corpse of an ordinary living being has no value other than the cultivation of a monk, and it is not difficult to be born. It's nothing to the whole world. The true spirit and the soul are completely different.
The lower worlds, which do not have supernatural powers, deal with souls and true spirits most simply. That is to directly extinguish, and the real person dies like a lamp extinguished. This method of processing is simple and crude, and there are very few sources that can be recovered. If it continues, the attrition to the world will become greater and greater, and may even lead to the destruction of the world. Of course, the origin of any world, even the lower worlds, is strong enough, and this time of destruction may lead to a long despair of ordinary beings.
There are also lower world instincts that do not want to do this, and retain the soul and true spirit, but it will make people live together, hedge positive and negative energy, and lose more to the world.
In the world with extraordinary powers, the way to deal with it is also different according to the world level. Some will have a netherworld and an underworld, so that the soul and true spirit can exist for a longer period of time, and during this time, it will be gently eliminated or recycled.
This method is more recyclable and more cost-effective than the simplest and crudest way. But it didn't solve the problem after all. Losses are still significant. But for the living, at least there is some hope. Even in some higher worlds, relying on incense offerings, the soul can exist for a longer time, just like the Shenzhou realm.
And the value of reincarnation lies in this. Provides better digestion and recovery of true spirits and souls. Form a complete cycle. Even if there is still some loss, the loss is already minimal.
The value of reincarnation to the world is immense. The value to living beings is also huge, and there is a chance to start over, a chance to awaken past memories, and so on. And for the pioneers, the value is also huge. The merits offered by the world, the detachment of the rule-blazers, and so on.
So Zhang Hao has been groping for this aspect of things. For him, the benefits of establishing reincarnation are even greater. With reincarnation and in hand, it is very important to consolidate the rule of the great cadres and even give a new start to the loyal subordinates who unfortunately died.
It's just that it's really hard to open up reincarnation. Emperor Zhang didn't know what was going on in the world like the Flood Famine, but in the world he mastered. The opening of the Shenzhou border failed. The history of the Divine Prefecture Realm was extremely brilliant, and even above the Nine Heavens Realm, there was definitely no shortage of Golden Immortals or even higher-level powerhouses, and all of them failed in this way, which was enough to show how difficult it was to open up reincarnation.
But Zhang Hao has never given up, and he still has a certain advantage!
