Chapter 238: The Beginning of Confusion
If it was just a simple interference with the soul, it would not be difficult for Ling Yun. However, it is more difficult to interfere with the cognition of the mind. Simple shallow thinking is possible, but with regard to inherent self-awareness, which is a deep level of inherent cognition, it is very difficult to interfere with it.
Just like a person drinking water, he knows his own warmth and coldness. This is a deep cognition of self-subjectivity, and even Ling Yun can't interfere with this level now.
The hostile nature of beast natural enemies involves the inherent cognition of the soul level, even if Ling Yun has a deep understanding of the soul aspect, but it involves the deeper thinking and inherent instinctive cognition of the soul, and there is nothing that can be done about it.
What he's really worried about now is not that, but what it means.
"You saw it too!" Ling Yun looked into the distance worriedly, slowly explaining the implicit meaning behind this: "Beasts have natural enemies before they are born, and they fight each other endlessly for survival. This is the nature of beasts, and it is also their instinct to survive in the desolate land. โ
Speaking of this, Ling Yun paused and continued: "However, the soul will engrave this instinct!"
"What you're seeing now is just a fight of brutes. If next, the beast souls of those beasts also start to fight. The time of true chaos in this netherworld will come!"
That kind of scene can be easily speculated, and Ling Yue said: "Fight each other, devour each other, the final result of that brute beast is the future of these beasts!"
"That's good!" Ling Yun nodded and said, "That brute devoured the soul of the losing party, because the memories recorded in the soul of the loser were also devoured together, so it would have an impact on the soul of that brute beast. The first red glow in its eyes was a sign of the beginning of a madness of thought. The more souls are devoured, the more chaotic thoughts and memories will become, and you can guess what it will end up with......"
Listening to Ling Yun's narration, not only Lingyue and Jun Wu, but also those mountain gods and earthly gods not far away on the other side could also be imagined. What kind of monster will be born in this situation?
The soul is the carrier of memory, and although the beast has no wisdom, it has its own memory. The consequence of devouring each other's losers is that their own souls are loaded into each other's memories. In this way, it will have an impact on one's own soul cognition. Eventually, it will lead to delirium, mixed souls and bodies, and impurities in the spiritual mind, and finally it will degenerate into a chaotic 'demonic beast'.
This is a fierce demonic beast born out of chaos, and it is different from the demonic beast born from the demonic beast mother's nest in the endless abyss. If left unchecked, it will cause great harm to the netherworld.
What is the purpose of the Netherworld? It is to give the dead souls a place to live!
But the ghosts are fighting each other, devouring each other, and in such a chaotic and disorderly place, it is better to stay in the desolate land. After all, living on the earth doesn't have to worry about being devoured by other ghosts.
On earth, all those ghosts have to worry about is natural erosion. And in this netherworld, if the scene that Ling Yun feared really happened, those yin souls living in the netherworld would be better than death. You must always be on the lookout for other ghosts, and this kind of outcome, which no one can trust, is the worst outcome.
If it is a netherworld created by nature, there is nothing to be chaotic in the beginning, and order can be artificially established. But the artificially created netherworld will become so chaotic.
Ever since he had attained enlightenment and cultivated the 'Fruit of Taiyi', Ling Yun had understood the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao. Whether it is the Heavenly Dao that is ruthless and desireless at the top, encompassing all things, or the Heavenly Providence that runs the world and all sentient beings, what is emphasized is two wordsโ"order".
The more orderly the order, the greater the significance of promoting the world. Chaos can only bring about destruction, and only order can last forever.
Netherworld chaos is not only bad for it, because chaos can give birth to chaotic qi, and chaos is a type of calamity. In the universe of heaven and earth, whenever the chaotic qi accumulates to a certain extent, it will cause chaos in heaven and earth. This kind of chaos is the factor of the great tribulation of heaven and earth.
This must be precautionary: "No, we can't let this place go unchecked. If this is the case eventually, it must be restricted, if not eradicated!"
Lingyue was silent, although she heard Shenjun say this, even she didn't know how to restrict it. Jun Wu, who was standing beside Ling Yue, frowned, listening to Ling Yun's words, and was not optimistic about it.
Having heard Ling Yun say just now, he couldn't interfere with the self-perception of these beasts. This also shows that he cannot erase this perception of the beasts on both sides. If this is not possible, how can this be restricted?
While they were talking, Ling Yun hadn't thought of a solution to what he was worried about, but what he was worried about had already happened!
The two brute beasts that fought and slaughtered seemed to have opened some shackles, and although the victorious brute beast ended in smoke, it seemed to have opened the beginning of chaos.
The natural enemies meet, and the battle of fate begins.
Although the scene of complete chaos has not yet formed in a short period of time, some of the beast souls that were still wandering in the wasteland in a muddy way, in the process of wandering, encountered each other's natural enemies, as if they had returned to their lives, and began to fight.
Some places are calm, others are chaotic. The winner devours the loser, but the winner also bears the mental thinking of the loser. Although the soul body has been strengthened, the spiritual mind has fallen into a state of chaos. And the powerful instinct of chasing them drives them to devour other souls nearby, and the scene becomes more and more chaotic.
This is no longer the rule of 'natural selection, survival of the fittest' on the earth, it is completely a one-sided slaughter. For the first time, the beast that fell into the chaotic mind tasted the sweetness of 'powerful', and in order to pursue 'strong', it killed the ghosts wandering around it.
The fight gradually expanded, and as more and more were devoured, some beast souls became more and more powerful, and some beast souls that fell into chaos became losers in the process of fighting, and disappeared.
Seeing such a scene, not only did Ling Yun feel bad in his heart, but even Ling Yue, Jun Wu, and those mountain gods and earth gods felt bad.
The initial brute beast fight, because it was only limited to one point, did not make a special change in the netherworld.
But now, the scene of fighting is 'everywhere', the chaos is gradually spreading, and a chaotic aura in the dark is beginning to condense. As the chaotic aura condensed, it affected more and more beast souls.
Those chaotic qi originated from the scattered fragments of thought after the beast soul dissipated. These fragments of thought are suddenly extinguished, turning into a chaotic will that can infect the mind. Once the beast soul is contaminated with these chaotic wills, its simple thinking and cognition will be disturbed, and eventually it will go berserk and begin to fight with the ghosts around it.
Because the beasts are ignorant and have no wisdom, these chaotic qi are most likely to trigger their irritability, and the chaotic qi further triggers the situation of fighting and devouring each other. And fighting each other will intensify the condensation and birth of chaos.
At this time, the chaotic atmosphere, like a snowball, is getting bigger and bigger.
Although the chaotic aura cannot be seen by the human eye, the minds of the gods can feel its existence. Although there were some gods who had not seen the aura of chaos, all the gods were disgusted by the aura of chaos. It seems that that thing is their natural enemy, and once they encounter it, it is a situation of never dying.
