Destiny is ashes

Chapter 361: What We Saw at Tianyi Mountain (43)

There are no 'divine rules' in the religion.

After Bai Qinghan arrived at Tianyi Mountain, he was not in a hurry to practice.

After seeing what happened to the defeated master, she did not panic, but went to the library and patiently read the history and various records of the Tianyi Sect under the guidance of the teacher invited by the Divine Sect.

After spending a month flipping through seventeen thick volumes and reading the history of the Tianyi Sect, Bai Qinghan finally understood something.

In the original Divine Will Religion, there were no rules within the religion.

As long as you are strong enough, you can kill anyone you want and take away whatever you want.

Just because you are in a bad mood, you can capture a few mortals and skin them to feed them; just because you are in a good mood, you can start a lecture and give away the secret books of supernatural powers for free.

You can also capture a few farmers and exotic animals just because you are in a good mood, give them swords, and enjoy a life-and-death fight, a fight between dragons and tigers; you can also rescue a group of displaced civilians from the war between the two countries, give them shelter while they open up the wilderness, and rebuild new villages and lives.

Instead of focusing on martial arts, you can learn cooking and play around with seasonings; you can live in a cave and meditate in seclusion, ignoring everything outside the cave and just reading the books of sages.

The [Ancestor of Heaven's Will] brought hundreds of warriors from different sects and craftsmen and technicians of various skills from Zhongheng Daozhou. He opened up the cave and established the mountain gate, but he did not set any rules. He allowed this group of people who might have hatred and discrimination against each other, and who had high and low status, to fight each other and enjoy this environment where all things were free.

free.

So not free.

After seeing this, Bai Qinghan understood.

She had lived in the wilderness after the disaster in the vast sea for ten years. There were no laws and no morals. There, cannibalism was the norm and killing was common.

But...even in such a wilderness, there are rules.

It's not like there aren't people who help others for free.

Several large tribes in the wilderness are on guard against each other. If you kill someone from the other side, you either pay with your life or fight. In the black market in the wilderness, you can steal and cheat, but if you are caught, you will be hung on a dead tree platform and let the sandworms build nests on your body, and finally become nutrients for the sandworms to reproduce.

People killed each other and scrambled for blood money. In the end, there might be only one winner in a huge fight, but even such a warrior who killed countless people would laugh and throw down a few pieces of dry food when passing by the cave where Bai Qinghan was hiding.

Just as what happened on Mount Providence.

As long as there are people, whether there is a strongest person who establishes order or people spontaneously build rules together, the sand will always gradually gather into sand piles, and the rain and dew from the sky will always gather into the sea.

Man is similar to heaven and yet opposite to heaven. Heaven and earth tend towards chaos and disorder, while man tends towards rules and order.

But people will die, and the heaven and earth will give birth to new life. The most powerful warrior can make the heaven and earth respect him as the Tao, and such a warrior will also restore order to the chaos of the heaven and earth and bring new vitality.

This is the truth of yin and yang, life and death, movement and stillness, positive and negative. It is also the fundamental meaning of the end of Taiyin and the birth of Shaoyin.

After realizing this, Bai Qinghan looked back.

She saw that the Liushan Grandmaster who defeated the foreign grandmaster did not stay in the mountain in the end, but took charge of an altar.

He said that he could no longer stay in the mountains carefree. He had anger and heroism in his heart. He wanted to create the destiny in his heart according to his own will.

He could collect blood taxes like the Western Envoy did, devouring the lives of others and taking his own life.

You can also be like the Northern Patrol Envoy, sneaking into the Celestial Empire and Heavenly Sect, like a spider weaving a web, building a network of cause and effect between heaven and earth. You can also be like the Ghost Patrol Envoy, wandering in the Netherworld, associating with ghosts, gods, and the dead, responding to calls, and reaching contracts, just like a living law.

You can also be like a sea patrol officer, cultivate sea beast elves, completely separate from humans, and instead concentrate on creating the life you want.

Blood tax eats people. Karma eats lives. Ghosts connect life and death, and no matter good or evil, they all go to the underworld.

The way of life is the survival of the fittest. The number of lives lost to sea beasts is more than ten times that of the Western Tour Envoys. But how many sea creatures are fed by those sea shells and seaweeds?
Bai Qinghan understood.

It's all providence.

So it is human will.

It is a principle that is pure in the heart, higher than the sky, and only the stars above the sky can be compared with it.

Everyone is different and unique, which is why they make up the countless dreams in this earthly universe and all things in this endless world.

In this world, there are no rules that force people to do this, no strict laws of heaven that force people to do this, and no compulsory religious rules that force people to do this.

However, naturally, under the impetus of free people, [rules] and [laws] will emerge on their own.

In Tianyi Mountain, no law is compulsory, and no force can automatically punish anyone according to the rules of the church. It is just a convention, a tacit understanding among everyone - there may be a 'law enforcement officer' to enforce the punishment, but if you are stronger than the law enforcement officer and more fierce than the lawyer, the 'rules' of the Tianyi Church cannot restrain you.

Of course. Of course. The most powerful person can make the most powerful rules. In Tianyi Mountain, everyone is free, and no one is free.

Therefore, believers of Tianyi who have lost their tranquility will leave Tianyi Mountain.

Their hearts are restless, so they want to create something.

The Northern Inspector, the Western Inspector, those who were sent to the outer areas, and those Tianyi Demon Disciples who left Tianyi Mountain on their own initiative, were all trying to establish a set of rules in their own way.

To become...

"To become the sky."

Bai Qinghan softly recited the hymn of the Heavenly Will Religion: "Great is the creation of this body by the Heaven, but the people of this world are ignorant and do not know how to be grateful."

"Where does life and death lead to? Only my path is the beacon."

"The one who leads me is the God. The one who walks the way of the God is the Heaven. The one who understands the will of the universe is the Saint."

"The people of the Divine Religion have different ways of practicing the Divine Will. Those who cannot comprehend the Divine Will, the Divine Will and my Will, will only be ordinary martial artists throughout their lives and will never be able to receive the true teachings, even if I am the Goddess of Xuanyin."

"After I understood this, I found that my practice of the Huangtian Houtu Method went more smoothly."

"And on the second day, there was an 'Unstained White Pill' on my desk, a top-grade pill made from the energy of the moon, as well as two fundamental Taoist scriptures, 'Taiyin Pure and Quiet Chapter' and 'Shaoyin Cave True and Wonderful Scripture'."

"Is this a reward, or a recognition? Or a test? I don't know. I just think it's time to start practicing, so I started practicing."

"This is what I saw and heard in the Tianyi Sect... It was a completely different world from what I imagined."
