From the end of the world

Chapter 298 Bifang 2
What did Gua Tianshi just say?
"Invite Yin Yue?" I felt like I had heard something ridiculous. "Luo Shan is the headquarters of demon hunters. Even the Great Impermanence should be a demon hunter. You want to persuade a man-eating demon like Yin Yue to join Luo Shan?"

"The identity of a demon hunter is nothing more than history before the Fantian incident, which is fixed in our hearts by the power of the divine seal for some reason, like a mental stamp. The real us should not be 'demon hunters', but 'monks' - I'm sure you are familiar with this, right?" Gua Tianshi answered in a tone as if he was telling the truth, "As for the difference in races, it is even more inappropriate for you to say this.

"Do you think that you are more like a human being than Yin Yue now? The heretic Wu Chang Zhuang Cheng, or... the flame monster Zhuang Cheng?"

It is an inevitable trend that as their power grows, demon hunters become less and less human in nature.

Even weirdos would be considered as fallen demon hunters by Luo Shan. And even though he could see that the winter car in the past period of time had the nature of a weird thing, Fu Feng still acted as if it was commonplace.

A superpower like me, whose human body is completely mimicked by fire, is even less like a human, but I am still treated as a human. The Gua Tianshi in front of me has appeared in front of me in the form of a strange bird for some reason. If an ordinary person saw him for the first time, how could he be regarded as a human?

What exactly is the definition of “human”?

Is it a soul? But racial distinctions are like gender, and seem to be based on the concept of the body. As far as I know, souls have no gender, and there seems to be no racial distinction. If I have to say, the way of thinking will change the nature of the soul, and Silver Moon is a strange creature, and the way of thinking is in a different dimension from humans.

But now my way of looking at the world is also drifting away from humans. At least, as far as I know, humans cannot directly observe and influence cause and effect on a metaphysical level like I do. The closer I get to the realm of great impermanence, the more difficult it is for me to describe what I see and the insights I have accumulated from it in words. I can only use some crude metaphors to palely describe the causes and consequences of things. I am entering a realm that human perception and thinking cannot reach.

The only thing that can classify me as a human being is the fact that I was once a human being. If we only look at the "present" and from the perspective of ordinary people, I may have already become a weird creature that is no different from Silver Moon.

Although I judged that he was a human being based on the similar impression that Gua Tianshi gave off, if even I am not considered a human being, Gua Tianshi naturally would not be one either.

Could it be that the Gua Tianshi had predicted that this conversation would take place, and therefore appeared in the form of a strange bird?

"Yin Yue has a human appearance, is compatible with the human perception system, and can use human language, so of course she can be defined as a human." Gua Tianshi said slowly, "Admittedly, she also has an evil personality and cannibalistic habits, but at the same time, she also has a rational and orderly tendency that is rare among weird things.

"Her spiritual tendencies can also be described as a kind of 'civilization'. Considering her unique special abilities and strong potential, I think we can first bring her into Luoshan and make use of her.

"At the same time, she is also a rare object for observation. In the future development of Luoshan, we will encounter more strange creatures that have powerful powers and can communicate with language. It would be a waste to eliminate them all without thinking like in the past few thousand years. In the future, we may need to consider 'absorption' as an option. Silver Moon is an important attempt.

"What's even more rare is that she is not a completely weird creature now, right? She is the Silver Moon's incarnation that manifested through the human Zhu Changan as a vessel. It is very likely that while she is a weird creature, she also has a human perspective. As a reference object for seeking common ground while reserving differences, she is really the most suitable."

It seemed that Master Gua not only valued Yin Yue's abilities and potential, but also had his sights set on something even further down the line.

As for the fact that he knew Chang'an's name and the truth of Yin Yue's "resurrection", it was nothing surprising. He was the legendary divination master who could predict all information about the past and the future. It would be a shame for him to surrender and say "I don't know" on such a small issue.

He probably can't really know all the secrets of this world, but knowing most of the things in this world should be easy. Thinking of this, I feel that he is a bit like the Lord of the Divine Seal.

"What if I say I want to destroy Silver Moon? Are you going to stop me?" I asked.

"No, I'm just a spectator this time." He shook his head. "I won't stop Yin Yue from recovering her power, nor will I stop you from destroying Yin Yue. If Yin Yue really dies in your hands, it only means that she couldn't grasp this opportunity, and it was her fate.

"But I need to prevent the great disaster caused by Silver Moon's Law of Heaven and Earth, so I will stay in Yueyin Mountain City temporarily until your conflict is over."

It was great news that Gua Tianshi would not be my enemy. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and asked, "How did Yin Yue get the Law of Heaven and Earth? Did she simulate it with her own ability? What is the specific effect?" Hearing this, he looked at me first, and suddenly said, "Even if I just said that I won't stop you, it doesn't mean that I will provide you with information related to Yin Yue, right?"

It seems that he has decided to stick to the position of not helping either side.

That was quite normal. I didn't expect him to answer so many questions for free. Even if he did, there was no telling if there was any misleading information he released in order to manipulate the situation behind the scenes. At least, if it was the fortune-teller I had heard about before, he might do that.

Just as I was thinking this, Gua Tianshi suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile as if he was joking: "However, you saved my important disciple, so I can answer you anything related to Yin Yue."

"...Thank you so much, and please give me more advice." I pretended not to be surprised by the turn of events.

He seemed to be observing my reaction. I couldn't tell from his bird-like face whether he was disappointed or not. Then he answered the previous question: "Normally, she can't imitate the Great Impermanence's Law of Heaven and Earth. This is the bonus of the land. Yueyin Mountain is her place of origin, so it is limited to this place. With that unique ability, she can perform the Law of Heaven and Earth.

"You have already experienced its specific effect, which is that it can distort the normal order of time and space in nature, trapping its prey inside like a spider web. This white mist is not material mist, but a special phenomenon that occurs when time and space are distorted. At the same time, because she is consciously manipulating and compressing the power of the Law of Heaven and Earth, an area similar to a barrier will be formed in its heart, from which even you will find it difficult to escape easily.

“She chose to restore her strength in this place in order to absorb the power of the land’s spiritual veins. She also wanted to use the power of the law of heaven and earth to kill and devour the souls of all the residents of Yueyin Mountain City.

"And the reason why I came here in person is to curb her influence on the human settlements. If it was Mingzhu or Shenzhao, they would probably be indifferent, but I can't let Yinyue kill so many humans in one go."

By devouring a large number of human souls to restore her own strength - Yin Yue had done something similar in her lifetime, or wanted to do it, but failed. Ying Lingyun, who was still mentally normal in the past, betrayed her and killed her because of this incident.

It shouldn't be difficult for Gua Tianshi to interfere with Yin Yue's Law of Heaven and Earth. The reason for this is not only because of the strength advantage, but also because of the affinity advantage. I have been observing him carefully, and I have seen some things, such as the Law of Heaven and Earth he displayed.

His Law of Heaven and Earth is just as Dong Che said, it does not produce intuitive weather visible to the naked eye. Dong Che mentioned that as long as he enters the Great Perfection level, he will naturally understand the effect of Gua Tianshi's Law of Heaven and Earth. That is probably a prediction made for people like Dong Che who are born with strong perception. I can only see some superficial parts in a short period of time - if nothing unexpected happens, Gua Tianshi's Law of Heaven and Earth may have the effect of affecting other Laws of Heaven and Earth.

I can't explain how I came to this conclusion. I didn't see anything, but the answer came to my mind automatically. Just like I couldn't sense the realm of cause and effect in the past, but I could sense it when my opponent exerted the corresponding supernatural power; the existence of Gua Tianshi seemed to be able to affect my Fa Tian Xiang Di, so I instinctively associated part of the truth.

After realizing this, I noticed another thing - even though I was out of the fog, the rainy weather in the Yueyin Mountain area still did not reappear. It seems that not only Yin Yue and I's Fatian Xiangdi, but also the Fatian Xiangdi of the Water Master Xuanwu was affected.

The air on the mountain also showed a trend of slowly cooling down.

Interfering with other laws of heaven and earth should not be the whole picture of Gua Tianshi's law of heaven and earth, but perhaps just a by-product.

"Not being able to use the magic of heaven and earth to devour all the residents of Yueyin Mountain City is actually just a small matter for Yinyue. The important thing is that we must devour the Ancient Moon God." Gua Tianshi continued, "The Ancient Moon God should have told you that she occupied a part of the spare power that Yinyue reserved before her death. That was a lie.

"The Ancient Moon God was the core of the backup force that Yin Yue carefully prepared before his death. Thanks to you, the Ancient Moon God has died prematurely.

"The current Silver Moon can never truly return to its heyday."
