Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 765 The Second Stage of the True Spirit

After Song Shi parted ways with the textile machine, he returned to the hotel where he was staying.

According to his preferences, the hotel was empty and all services were provided by intelligent robots. Song Shi ordered an ice drink and drank it all together with the ice cubes floating in it.

He let out a long sigh and started on his journey with ease.

——【Dayuan】Road.

When I opened my eyes again, the vast and magnificent starry sky was flowing down.

The stars transformed by the Great Source psychics of all generations hang high in the sky, emitting thousands of kinds of light. They are big or small, bright or dim, but no matter how small and dim the star is, it emits a unique starlight.

Among these twinkling stars, there must be quite a few [Dayuan] who were killed by his own hands, right?

Song Shi tried to distinguish them with great interest, but after trying for a while, he failed.

So he turned his gaze to the brightest stars.

Even among the stars all over the sky, they are the most shining ones, like the stars in the star system, protected by other stars - that is, the fifth rings!
And now myself.

I have come to the point where I am on par with them and have witnessed the same scenery with my own eyes.

"Then there's 'True Spirit'."

Bathed in the starlight, Song Shi took a step forward.

Just as there are no two identical people in the world, the true spirit of each fifth ring is unique, and even the same power of the fifth ring can be completely opposite.

"All destroyed."

This is the first stage of one's true spirit.

Song Shi thought.

The breakthrough of the fifth ring is no longer limited to engraving one spiritual skill after another, but is about sharpening the true spirit, the three stages, enlightenment and realization.

Before the battle with Apotokalius, he had only achieved the first stage. As for the second and third stages, let alone achieving them, he had not even realized them. He was not sure which direction to take.

but now.
Song Shi continued walking.

In the past, when we were on the road to the present, the stars were high in the sky, casting their light down, as if they were overlooking the visitors - but now, as we have reached the fifth ring, there is no more "as if".

Song Shi could feel that some vague and majestic existence was watching him from above the sky!

"You really change your attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. Do you really like to take advantage of others? Dayuan Daotu."

As he said this, Song Shi smiled.

He had a thought in his mind.

In an instant, a sea of ​​light emerged around Song Shi.

Like millions of fireflies gathered together, or like fluorescent plankton in the deep sea, these countless light beams surrounded Song Shi and formed undulating waves.

Song Shi reached out and gently picked up one of the light spots.

This point of light suddenly disintegrated -

Psychic Skills: [Bifang's Omen of Fire].

Bifang is a bird that symbolizes fire. It looks like a crane, has one foot, red markings, green body and a white beak. If it is seen, there will be a fire in the town.

The effect of this psychic skill is to transform the user into the legendary divine bird "Bifang". Wherever the user passes, all things will burn out of thin air. As long as the user does not retreat, the wildfire will never end.

"Not bad, not bad." Song Shi looked at it for a moment, then let go of his hand and let it return to the sea of ​​light: "It's a pity that I can't use it."

He took off another one.

Psionic Skills: [High-Strength Heat Welding].

The effect is that psychics can condense psychic flames into "welding guns" and weld anytime and anywhere. Of course, a "welding gun" that can easily melt even steel can also be used for attacking. If it is used by a master, it is like a peacock spreading its tail, summoning dozens or even hundreds of "welding guns" at once.

"It's just so-so." Song Shi commented, "And it's a bit too modern."

next.

Psionic Skill: [Alphonsus's Charcoal Seal].

This was a psychic skill that he had never heard of. Then Song Shi carefully and deeply sensed it for a while and understood most of it.

It's probably that in some niche mythology there is a demigod named "Alfonsos", and the most famous treasure in his hand is a piece of charcoal, which is the legacy of the world's first tree that was ignited by lightning.

Alphonsus can teleport to any place marked by charcoal at any time. With this treasure, he becomes the freest demigod in the world.

But these are not important. Song Shi looked at the effect. This psychic skill can leave a "carbon mark" on the target. As long as the "carbon mark" has not been cleaned up, the user can exert psychic power on the opponent through the air. The most obvious way to use it is to inflict damage.

"This is quite interesting." Song Shi raised his eyebrows and praised: "The person who created this psychic skill did a good job."

——Unfortunately, it is still of little use to me.

Song Shi paced forward, the sea of ​​light following him like a shadow.

Feel free to use.

Even before he reached the fifth ring, Chakoro said that he would occasionally envy low-ring psychics like himself - the latter had the clear path explored by previous generations of psychics and the rich psychic skills accumulated, and they only needed to follow the procedures to advance step by step.

As long as he is not beaten to death because of the ritual.

The fifth ring, [True Spirit], is different.

True spirit is unique. No psychic skills created in the past by other psychics can replace it. This is a path that one can only walk alone.

Tao can provide help in this regard.
Opens up psionic skills.

The countless points of light, or the psychic skills accumulated by the [Dayuan] Dao over the generations, generously opened their arms to the fifth-ring psychics from later generations. Unlike the indifference of the past, the Dao has now become much gentler, like an elder full of expectations.

“It’s such a huge project.”

Looking at these spots of light, Song Shi sighed.

In a way, the fifth ring does not mean that it no longer needs to engrave psychic skills. On the contrary, it requires much more effort than completing the rituals step by step. It requires thinking and referring to the past psychic skills provided by the path, digging into one's own heart bit by bit, and promoting one's own will.

In this way, you can forge your own "true spirit".

"If we look at it from this point of view, the so-called 'true spirit' can actually be considered a kind of spiritual skill." Song Shi's hand reached into the sea of ​​light, sliding smoothly across it like he was caressing a fluffy blooming flower bed.

It was just that it was a psychic skill that was much more outrageous than most psychic skills. Song Shi was still walking aimlessly as he had done at the beginning, but at this time, a terrifying sense of danger emerged from him, slowly and unstoppably rising, as if to poke a hole in the magnificent starry sky and cut it into pieces!

This is the power of the true spirit’s “annihilation”.

Even the floating sea of ​​light began to ripple, and many light spots quickly dimmed and moved away from Song Shi, as if in fear. However, a very small number of light spots became brighter, advancing instead of retreating, reflecting each other, as if they were angry after being provoked.

Those powerful and amazing psionic skills.

Song Shi turned a blind eye.

"Chakoro also spent a lot of effort to achieve the second stage of 'Reversing Life and Death'."

Since I broke through the fifth ring, I have communicated with him many times, discussing the experience, insights and feelings of the fifth ring, as for the actual effect.
It's basically nothing.

If I have to say what I gained, it was that I gained a lot of knowledge by listening to Chakoro's sharp comments on each fifth ring of the corporate alliance.

Song Shi raised his head.

The killing power of "All Annihilation" is extremely strong, and it advances rapidly on the path of destruction and goes very far, but its second stage
In a trance, Song Shi felt that he had returned to the past.

For the first time in his life, he was in a near-death state. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to counterattack with his blurred consciousness. He fought fiercely with Renata Clemens. The two sides fought from the ground to the sky, and then from the sky into the sea, breaking through the atmosphere and launching the final showdown in the boundless universe. It was the closest death battle. The terrifying psychic power of the "Creator" Apotoca Leus, the terrifying power of the combination of the food chain and the ecosystem -

Death is not a big deal to most people I meet. To them, death is just a destination that is not worth mentioning.

I don't care either.

But I am definitely not a person who has a "desire for self-destruction". I would rather live than die - to be more precise, I would like to live according to my own wishes.

"Death is easy, killing is easy too."

Living according to one's own wishes is far more difficult than either of these two.

Song Shi closed his eyes.

Even for a psychic of my level, even with my own talent, ask yourself, have you never encountered anything that was not to your liking along the way?

No, it isn't, on the contrary, yes, there are many.

The aristocratic families of the East Land Republic are high up in the palace, and the world is divided by "bloodlines". People below the door and the stairs do not have any rights that can be called "human". The company's hands greedily grasp the air and sunlight. Even if everyone's flesh and blood have been rotten, it will not let go and will do everything it can to squeeze out the last bit of profit.

None of these are to my liking.

Everyone's mind is different, so how can people and individuals understand each other? Everyone wants the world to conform to their own mind, so the world has become fragmented like it is now.

After sleeping for half a year, my consciousness was hazy and all I saw were strange things. It was even difficult to say whether I was conscious or not. Perhaps I just had scattered thoughts.

But it was also because of these scattered thoughts that I had a rare chance to stop fighting and instead let the chaos carry me, go with the flow, and wander among thousands of thoughts.

Yes, real living is harder than death.
——And I want to truly live.

Infinite killing power is not for absolute destruction. Eternal and empty silence is not what I want. What I pursue is
A brilliant new life born from destruction.

True spirit.

second stage.

——“Present world”.

Song Shi opened his eyes, and the breathtaking burning red gold flashed in the deepest part of his pupils for a moment, lingering around his body. The terrifying sense of danger suddenly paused, and then disappeared into thin air.

At the same moment, Song Shi opened his hands, and a ball of light floated in his palms. This was a colorless light, an empty light. No matter how hard you stared, your sight could not reach it. Only a hazy feeling would tell you that there was "light" here.

The terrifying sense of danger was all gathered here. It was clearly derived from the "annihilation" of the true spirit and was the most extreme destructive killing force. However, when it turned into this ball of light, it was so empty that there was not even the slightest sense of existence.

But this is only natural.

To destroy all things and phenomena, burning them into nothingness along with the foundation of existence, this is the power of "total annihilation". When everything is burned to nothingness, how can it bring danger to people?

——And the next moment, this empty ball of light showed new colors!
At first there were scattered red gold dots, and then they connected into one piece, slowly seeping into other parts. From afar, Song Shi was holding a ball of bright red gold light. The spiritual energy that reached the fifth ring could no longer be restrained and began to run wildly.

The light was slowly lifted.

As it went up a little, it was stained with more red gold, and the once empty light gradually turned into a dazzling sun.

When it was about to be lifted to the highest point and about to be completely soaked, the ball of light suddenly stagnated and collapsed in less than one ten-thousandth of a second!
The red-gold color faded away in an instant, and the colorless light suddenly spread out, engulfing everything around it. Even the ocean composed of psychic powers was not spared, and it was extinguished the moment it was touched by the light, turning into a vacuum zone.

It took a long while for the aftermath to dissipate.

"Alas, failed."

One of Song Shi's arms disappeared. It was the hand that held up the ball of light just now. It disappeared like a piece of lead type erased by an eraser. After the condensed "annihilation" collapsed out of control, it destroyed the one that was closest to it.

"It's really difficult to break through to the second stage in one go."

Song Shi said this, but his face showed no displeasure. He snapped his fingers, and psychic flames surged in, filling the gap and barely outlining the outline of an arm.

It may not be restored to its original state in a short time. It doesn’t matter, as long as it is sufficient.

The breakthrough of the true spirit can be divided into two parts: enlightenment and realization. Only after having a goal can one move forward.

Although it has not been realized yet, I have finally realized the second stage.

Less than a year after setting foot on the fifth ring, I finally made another step forward.

As for not being able to continue to make progress and directly break through to the second stage.
The problem is not big.

"If I achieve 'present world'."

Song Shi waved his hand, and the sea of ​​light that was a miserable scene a minute ago quickly recovered and turned into a treasure trove of tempting psychic skills waiting to be explored.

According to his current plan, the use of the "present world" should have a prerequisite, which is "annihilation". Only by destroying reality through "annihilation" and reaching a vacuum state, and then reconstructing the "present world" on this blank nothingness.

There is nothing else, everything is up to your will.
"Present world".

The fields and spaces that I had laid out in the past seemed to have created a lake out of thin air, flooding the earth and rewriting the environment.

But those powerful opponents, such as the psykers of the fifth ring, are like stones sinking into a lake, hard and tenacious. Even after years of erosion, their shapes and outlines can only be slightly changed, turning them into pebbles.

It is still an external object.

That's all, I couldn't ask for more.

But when his true spirit "appears" in the world, he will have to make the stone a part of the lake so that he can manipulate it and influence it at will!
