Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 887 Independence and Betrayal

As the two sounds echoed, Chu Tai looked up suddenly. The roof of Chonghua Palace was shattered at this moment, and the sky suddenly cracked. An eye with colorful liquid flowing inside opened.

A careful observation revealed that the colorful liquid in the eyes was actually formed by the slowly rotating 129,600 crystals, and the pupil in the center was like a lotus leaf or lotus flower blooming layer by layer, reflecting all kinds of emotions from the inside out.

Pride, envy, greed, laziness, gluttony, anger...

Seeing these negative emotions, Chu Tai instinctively resisted, and the [Taiyi] Dao Fruit started to work, generating opposing changes from [One].

Integrity, humility, compassion, fortitude, temperance, hope, love...

Many emotions emerged to compete with the reflected negative emotions, but under the twelve thousand changes in those eyes, these emotions were shifted in different ways.

【Taiyi】Tao Fruit started to work, and more emotions arose.

In those eyes, various "Chu Tai" gradually emerged from 129,600 crystals. These "Chu Tai" also faced different eyes, and those eyes continued to reflect a different him.

This happened repeatedly, and trillions of "Chu Tai" phantoms appeared in his eyes.

The most terrifying thing is that these "Chutai" are essentially fighting against the distortion of their eyes, and the power they display is brilliant and dazzling.

It’s just that their manifestations are different. Some tend to be Buddhist, with thoughts turning like diamond relics, emitting glass Buddha light; some tend to be immortal, pure and spotless, flowing with gorgeous clouds; some tend to be Shinto, pure and pure, with all things flowing...

All these things brought some light to Chu Tai.

These lights all originated from the reflected "Chu Tai". Most of them were of the same origin and were integrated into Chu Tai's body. He could not perceive them and even felt that these changes originated from himself.

The emergence of these changes gradually made Chu Tai develop different ideas from his original self.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Chu Tai at the current moment became different from his original self.

This kind of changes, in the original body and the incarnation, are independent of each other.

But in Shinto, this change is more like the [degeneration], [betrayal], and [separation] of the appearance of gods or their followers.

At the same time, because Chu Tai's [separation] is affected by the eyes above, this [separation] can also be seen as Chu Tai's mind [approaching] the eyes above.

Because all the changes in Chu Tai at this moment are approaching the common image of countless "Chu Tai" in his eyes, or it can be said that Chu Tai at this moment is actually the Chu Tai in the eyes of countless "Chu Tai" in his eyes.

Therefore, this kind of "approaching" itself is similar to the believers in Shinto gradually conforming to the gods of their faith, that is, the subject's integration into the object's "faith", or similar to the "descent of God" in which the object erodes the subject.

Finally, the eyes are located above Chu Tai in terms of position, which makes the [Fall] at this moment closer to [Sublimation] in performance.

At the same time, under the Chonghua Palace, opposite the open universe, in the underworld, a stone statue stood in it.

The evil emperor sealed in the stone statue laughed loudly, and a hole appeared on his body, bearing all changes and accepting all changes at the same time. With the inclusiveness of [sky] and the gravity of [earth], he began to pull Chu Tai's body downward.

However, although the Evil Emperor is now in a low position, the concept of the highest Shinto represented by the authority of the Emperor of Heaven has become concrete, which leads to Chu Tai's fall, which in practical terms is more inclined towards his own [approach] and [sublimation] towards the highest Shinto authority, but in external manifestation it is closer to [degeneration].

The spiritual [degeneration] manifests itself as [sublimation].

The body appears to be [sublimated], but the performance is [degraded].

This twisted relationship caused Chu Tai's incarnation to be significantly different from the original in concept.

The [separation] and [difference] between the two are becoming more and more obvious.

In contrast, in this world, part of the power that originally belonged to the [Emperor of Heaven] and the power of [Taiyi] began to differentiate.

A small part was absorbed by the eyes, and two forces were separated from the eyes and absorbed by Chu Tai and the evil emperor. As soon as Chu Tai accepted this part of the power, he understood its source.

"【Demon】Tao Fruit?"

Chu Tai was shocked, and at the same time he felt the change in power. Different from the weakened Heavenly Demon Way of Dongji Chenguang Datian, the [Heavenly Demon] Dao Fruit in his eyes was closer to the ancient Heavenly Demon Way.

At the same time, Chu Tai also understood the core of the path corresponding to the Evil Emperor.

Pure Heavenly Way.

Chu Tai, who understood this, had a little light in his eyes, and whispered: "So that's how it is. The reason why the Immortal Xiandao turned into the Great Heavenly Emperor and fell asleep was because of you two."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faint sound of bells echoed from all directions.

"Donghuang Bell?"

Chu Tai started to mutter, and above the nine heavens, an ancient precious bell floated, easily suppressing the eyes.

His eyes turned and looked at the Donghuang Bell. One hundred and ninety-six hundred changes occurred, covering the surroundings of the bell layer by layer, trying to distort, shift, and transform it, but they were unable to produce any effect.

However, after the Donghuang Bell appeared, Chu Tai, who followed closely behind, kept changing his image under the attention of his eyes.

The originally handsome young Taoist priest, under the influence of layer after layer of concepts such as [cognitive wrinkles], [distorted cognition], and [information confusion], turned into a broken giant shrouded in a light golden halo.

On the giant's head, countless flowing threads of light entangled with each other. From a distance, it looked like a ball of shimmering mist, distorting light and shadow, and obscuring secrets. The tiny particles of light emitted from the hair tips reflected some of the truth.

Countless fine golden runes flowed on the surface of the upper body, like molten gold leaving deep wounds on the skin. All kinds of light flowed out from the wounds, revealing thousands of truths, constantly superimposed, differentiated, and reorganized.

Everyone who sees it can see in those principles what they want to see, as well as what they don’t want to see, and then feel an inexplicable sense of distortion and identification.

The lower body of the giant was a brilliant nebula, dotted with countless stars, rolling and expanding to form a colorful and strange giant eye, staring back at the eye below where colorful liquid was flowing.

In an instant, countless pure, mysterious, twisted, and terrifying dark forces appeared in those eyes. While the eyes were reflecting each other, they were also refracted by the giant eyes.

Moreover, the wounds on the giant's upper body kept opening, and the light flowing inside collapsed inwards, forming eyes that were also staring at the eyes below.

The eyes tried to distort the giant and the giant eyes, and the giant and the giant eyes also distorted the eyes.

The evil emperor in the underworld saw that something was wrong and was about to take action.

A stream of pure air surged, and the shadow of Shang Qingtian suddenly appeared in the underworld. He looked at the evil emperor in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to get going!"

The evil emperor, who had not yet completely freed himself from the petrification, knew something was wrong the moment the clear air emerged. The moment Shang Qingtian opened his mouth, countless distorted voids emerged around him, and then a misty strange color flowed out from the stone statue.

Layer upon layer of heavens unfolded in the distorted time and space, one day after another, directly suppressing Shangqingtian below.

Tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the stone statue, countless wonderful flowers gushed out, wisps of heavenly fragrance flowed, and many celestial beings, celestial generals, celestial maidens, and innocent phantoms appeared around the stone statue, holding flags, pennants, banners, cloaks, festivals, banners, streamers, flags, fans, umbrellas, and covers, flying up and down, changing back and forth, outlining one mysterious pattern after another, forming a powerful magical ban that firmly sealed the stone statue.

But inside the stone statue, the evil emperor had become illusory, transformed into layers of heavenly realms, merging with the outer heavens, attacking from both inside and outside, constructing multiple universes, and including the magic ban itself.

Just when the evil emperor was about to break free, a Ruyi sword fell from behind and hit the core of the magic ban hard.

"Chutai!"

The evil emperor exclaimed and looked back. It was Chu Tai's body that he had pulled down. At this moment, he was holding Ruyi in his hand, sealing it firmly.
