Destiny is ashes

Chapter 362 "The True Interpretation of the Supreme God"

"That's nice to say."

An Jing commented: "But in practice, it is nothing more than a replay of the laws of heaven and earth, some so-called survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle."

He had been listening carefully when Bai Qinghan was talking, and only shook his head and commented when he finished, "What people seek is nothing more than peace of mind, so they set up various laws and rules, develop skills and practice, and band together to rely on the strong in order to live a worry-free life."

"The evil of the Tianyi Demon Cult is that it uses freedom to destroy people's peace of mind... All actions are allowed, including killing; the strong do not protect the weak, and the survival of the fittest is natural selection. In essence, it uses the name of freedom to make people anxious for survival, and uses anxiety to promote involution, and uses involution to promote progress, forcing people to regard other people as enemies and constantly defeat other free people."

“Blood Pill, Hundred Lives Reincarnation… I originally didn’t know why these seemingly peaceful secret methods would be twisted into this state. Now it seems that the answer may be very simple: they were twisted from within.”

At this point, An Jing said with some disdain: "I also understand why those people would leave Tianyi Mountain to become their own 'heaven' - they must establish laws in a place, control the rules, become the supreme in their own rules, and regain a sense of peace of mind from it."

“They may seem free, but in reality they are slaves to their sense of security and need to spend their entire lives fighting for their own peace.”

"You're right." Although Bai Qinghan didn't quite understand what the word "involution" meant, as the name suggests, she could roughly understand what An Jing wanted to express.

She repeated the word 'involution' several times, and sighed, "The Divine Church has never said cannibalism, but in the name of freedom, some people will eventually choose to exploit the weak. No one can live forever, and if this behavior is beneficial in the short term, it will never disappear."

"But I always feel that the true teaching of the Church of God is not 'freedom', but something more fundamental...but I can't think of what it is."

An Jing nodded slightly.

Bai Qinghan was already thinking deeply.

She was indeed not deceived by the surface of the Tianyi Demon Cult, but tried to explore the essence of its core doctrines in depth - from this perspective, Bai Qinghan is indeed worthy of the title of goddess, and is much stronger than the Western Envoy who only touched the surface.

But Anjing goes one step further.

As a person who truly [apostatized], he had long been keenly aware that the core idea of ​​the Tianyi Demon Cult was not freedom, nor the law of the jungle, nor the internal competition that followed.

Those are all later things derived from the original idea of ​​the Great Dao of Patriarch Tianyi, and they are all tributaries.

And that initial thought of the Great Dao...

"【Rebellion】? 【Question】?"

An Jing also had only a vague idea. He was a person who had comprehended the Huangtian Houtu method and mastered the time of heaven. Through thinking about the core of the method, he had a vague feeling: "Controlling the time of heaven means breaking the inherent time, and then controlling my time... is it [redefinition]? No, it doesn't feel right..."

While thinking, An Jing thought of what Jin Yanhua had said about the origin of the Tianyi Demon Cult.

Patriarch Tianyi was originally a Lingxiao of Shangxuan Sect. For unknown reasons, he rebelled against Shangxuan Sect, gathered unstable elements from many sects in Zhonghengdao Continent at that time, founded Tianyi Sect, crossed Tianhai and arrived at Beixuanji Continent.

Patriarch Tianyi established the Tianyi Mountain Gate on the shore of the West Sea, and was hostile to the Yushen Court, which was not yet the Tian Sect at that time. Even after the Yushen Court became the Tian Sect, and until it was destroyed in the great catastrophe, the Tianyi Demon Sect still exists to this day.

——Why can the Tianyi Demon Cult continue to thrive?

——Why does it attract those "unstable elements"?
An Jing seemed to have realized something: "The best way to understand an existence is to confront its real opponent."

"The opponent of Tianyi Demon Sect is not other upper sects, its opponent is Shangxuan Sect and Beichen Imperial Dynasty."

"The characteristics of these two forces are that they want to build a heaven and create order... But this is not right. The Heaven's Will Demon Cult is not trying to resist order. They want to build their own order. So, the Heaven's Will Demon Cult also wants to build a heaven?"

"wrong."

An Jing suddenly discovered that apart from the Heavenly Court, there was another thing in common between the Shangxuan Sect and the Beichen Dynasty.

"The essence of Heaven is the Dao Court. To build Heaven is to restore the order of the ancient Dao Court..."

He murmured to himself: "This is the most similar point between Shangxuan Sect and Beichen Dynasty... These two forces, as well as the 'Imperial God Court' that previously competed with Tianyi Demon Sect, are all sects that want to restore the ancient Taoist order!" "But Tianyi Demon Sect is different - according to Xiaobai, Tianyi Demon Sect directly abandoned all the 'Tao Laws' set by the Great Immortal Huaixu and started from scratch!"

"Go beyond, cross the line, surpass, break the established rules..."

In An Jing's mind, he thought of his previous life. It was a war that swept the world, shattered all the boundaries and inherent ideas of people, eliminated the concept of the country, and established a community of shared destiny that existed only in the imagination of mankind in the past.

It is not about destroying a country and then building a new one; it is about destroying a country and then building something completely new that no one knows about...

That is the real new world and new heaven.

An Jing suddenly realized: "Could it be that the purpose of the Heaven's Will Demon Cult is to find a 'new heaven' that transcends the order of the ancient Taoist court?!"

hum-

Between An Jing and Bai Qinghan, the thin atlas suddenly lit up.

Beixuanjizhou and Xitianhai.

【Um? 】

In the blue star lake, a bright star suddenly shone brightly, causing the figure who was checking the direction of the stars in the universe to turn his head with a look of surprise: [Old thing... the thoughts of the ancestors are slightly moving? Someone has understood the true meaning of my divine teachings? ]

[This is the Four Extremes Dharma King born in my Divine Religion, the seed of the two phases of heaven and earth, and even my position as the leader of the Religion... Let's see who it is]

The figure raised his hand excitedly, and suddenly, the Star Lake began to spin like a rushing river in the sky. Countless incomparably complex auras were connected, like billions of endless nets entangled together, forming an indestructible earthly formation.

In this formation, a red-gold shining light appeared, causing the figure to slightly widen his eyes: [It turned out... to be our divine general? ]

【OK】

The figure laughed: [As expected of a divine destiny, he can understand the will of heaven better outside the church than inside! It seems that I have greatly underestimated him. He is indeed a person who takes the initiative to break free from the shackles and crosses the boundaries! ]

At this moment, the figure had completely given up the idea of ​​'bringing An Jing back to the mountain' - this young god who had comprehended the true meaning of the Divine Will Religion would have been made a Taoist disciple long ago if he were a member of any other sect.

But in the Divine Will Religion, the more important a person is, the less likely they will set up any shackles or barriers for him, allowing him to run freely between heaven and earth.

As for whether or not to lean towards the religion of God?

It doesn't matter.

As long as he understands this true meaning, he is free to go in whichever direction he wants, to become who he wants, and to do whatever he wants.

He is the Divine Religion!

[Don’t let others know this]

The figure raised his hand and pointed at the star lake - suddenly, many of the silk thread networks that were originally spying on the red and gold-colored two-color star were all cut off. Even the many means within the Tianyi Sect were cut off directly and cleanly by the figure.

Linjiang City.

An Jing frowned slightly and picked up the album in his hand.

And above it, the six characters of "The Secret of Human Immortal Body Refining" gradually faded away, while the six new characters of "The True Explanation of the Supreme Heaven and Man" glowed faintly.
