From the end of the world

Chapter 303: Mountain Two Principles 1
The navy Xuanwu really intends to be my enemy!
As soon as he said this, a passionate echo resounded in my heart. I observed him very carefully.

Although I do not possess any abilities in the spiritual realm, ever since my powers awakened and my perception became sharper, I can vaguely sense many invisible things, including other people's emotions, especially those directed toward me, such as malice, hostility, murderous intent, and so on.

The current navy Xuanwu released a very clear killing intent towards me, but I could clearly tell that this killing intent did not contain anger or hatred. He just chose to be my enemy out of necessity and wanted to kill me very calmly.

I once suspected that the reason why he tried to kill every fire-powered person he met was because he had some deep hatred for them, but now it seems that this possibility can be ruled out.

The tone of his murder declaration was so calm that it seemed like he was just mentioning one of the tasks he had written on his schedule.

"Regardless of whether you have the ability to take my life..." I said, "Can you first tell me why you want to kill the flame ability user?"

"I'm looking for a specific flame user, and for some reason, I have to kill him." He actually explained to me, "However, I don't know the name of that flame user, nor do I know what he looks like, I only know that he must have the ability to manipulate fire.

"He is most likely a super genius in the field of fire, and he can sweep away everything as soon as he is born. But I cannot rule out the possibility that he is unable to display his talent for some reason, or it is also possible that he knows the origin of his power through some channel, and wants to hide his talent to avoid some disaster.

"So whenever I come across someone with that potential, I kill him or her to verify my thoughts. And in my opinion, you are most likely the person I'm looking for.

"A flame that burns and refines everything, a talent that is as unfathomable as the reincarnation of a myth, an experience that allows one to grow rapidly without anyone teaching them...

"Although I have wondered if Xuan Ming is the one I'm looking for, I didn't really doubt it. I just tried to spy on him. But you are a hundred times more suspicious than Xuan Ming. It would be better to say that if you are not the one I'm looking for, many questions would be unexplainable."

Listening to what he said and combining it with his previous words, I slowly realized that what he was talking about might be related to the origin of my super powers.

"You still don't seem to have explained why you would want to kill that particular flame user," I said.

"This is my secret, and there seems to be no need to explain so much to the target I am going to kill later." He said coldly, "If I have to explain it from the beginning to every fire ability user I am going to kill, it will probably take more than a day."

"Since you already regard me as a dead man, what's the harm in telling it to me? Besides, according to what you said, even among all the people with fire abilities you have come into contact with, I should be the particularly special one." I said.

"You're talking about something that has nothing to do with me. Do you think I can't kill you?"

He first looked at me with a murderous look, then actually thought seriously for a while, and finally nodded: "But... it does make sense."

"Are you willing to tell it?" I asked.

"Although it is a secret, the reason why I want to keep it secret is just because I don't want to cause gossip. Since you are most likely not an irrelevant person, it's okay to tell you." He thought for a moment and said, "...Have you heard of the name 'Shan Liangyi'?"

Mountain Two Principles...

I immediately felt that it sounded familiar. I had definitely heard this name somewhere before. And it was something that happened recently.

Shan Liangyi, Shan Liangyi... I quickly dug out the scene when I heard that name not long ago from my memory. It was when I fought against Yin Yue in the old base of the Humanitarian Division. At that time, she saw me emerge unscathed from the nuclear explosion, and she mentioned that name with a sigh.

——"Does 'innate spirituality' really exist in this world?"

——"If Shan Liangyi knew that such a genius could actually appear in the world, he would probably be so jealous that he wouldn't even be able to sleep well."

Yin Yue also seemed to have some understanding of the man named Shan Liangyi.

Because many other things happened afterwards that distracted my attention, I quickly put that name out of my mind. I didn't expect that the name that flashed by in the battle would appear again in this place. And it seems to have an unknown connection with the origin of my superpowers. "Who is Shan Liangyi?" I asked.

The navy master Xuanwu no longer concealed the truth and told me the background of Shan Liangyi.

Shan Liangyi is a great impermanence that has been active for a long time. Even the water master Xuanwu cannot be sure how long ago it can be traced back. We only know that it is a person who has been recorded in the history of the strange world at least three thousand years ago. If I remember correctly, the writing at that time seemed to be oracle bone script.

Legend has it that Zhongshan Liangyi is a land immortal who has understood the true meaning of "reincarnation" and reached the ultimate realm equivalent to the realm of true spirits, dreams, and visions that demon hunters dream of. It is said that he can be reincarnated even after death and keep his complete memory.

Although the Great Impermanence were gods who reigned over the afterlife in the past, even they could not get involved in the mystery of reincarnation. In other words, the so-called "reincarnation" is a superstition even in the weird world.

Perhaps some spells can achieve an effect similar to reincarnation, but that is a different concept from reincarnation, and is more like the act of possessing a fetus. There is no function related to reincarnation in the afterlife, and no matter whether it is human or animal, after death, the soul can only stay there until it degrades and disappears, and finally returns to nothingness.

Some people also believe that the mechanism of reincarnation actually exists objectively, but no one can confirm it, not even the Great Impermanence - even the Great Impermanence of Gua Tianshi, whose power is "knowledge", cannot observe it. Only those who understand "reincarnation" can touch its existence. And Shan Liangyi seems to be able to do this.

Therefore, no means can truly kill Shan Liangyi. Even if his soul is completely annihilated, he can be resurrected unconditionally.

Mingzhu's immortal body has a price, which is obtained at the cost of locking his own lifespan, but Shan Liangyi's immortal body does not even have such restrictions.

It sounds like if humans become extinct, or even if all creatures in the world become extinct, he will have no place to reincarnate. However, according to some records, Shan Liangyi can not only reincarnate into the future, but also into the past, and can even freely reincarnate into different worlds.

In other words, this person can not only be "reborn" infinitely, but also "travel" infinitely. If this world is destroyed, he can still go to the next world.

But whether it is true or not, even the water master Xuanwu cannot give a complete and accurate confirmation. He can only confirm that Shan Liangyi can achieve "historical rebirth", but cannot verify the authenticity of "crossing to another world". I am afraid that the only people who can verify this matter are those who are in the same position as Shan Liangyi. In short, Shan Liangyi is an outrageous character beyond imagination, and this has been conveyed to my heart.

And then comes the problem.

Shan Liangyi seemed to be dissatisfied with the power he had obtained. Although he had understood the true meaning of "reincarnation", his original goal was not "reincarnation", but another realm called "manifestation".

Reincarnation is just a route he explored while pursuing the spirit manifestation, which is just a hobby. It is not that the spirit manifestation is more powerful than the reincarnation. In fact, it is the opposite. In the history of demon hunters, there are only a few humans who have comprehended the spirit manifestation, and there is only one person who has comprehended the reincarnation since ancient times, Shan Liangyi. And for some reason, he has an extraordinary obsession with the spirit manifestation, and he wants to achieve it at all costs.

To give an inappropriate example, his situation is like a professional long-distance runner who studies physics when he has nothing to do, and unknowingly becomes a great academic figure, but he still thinks about his Olympic dream all day long.

However, those who can become pioneers in physics may not necessarily become Olympic gold medalists. It does not mean that the former is more difficult and valuable, and those who achieve the former can definitely achieve the latter. These are two unrelated fields. Although he has the talent of reincarnation, he does not have the talent of spiritual manifestation. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot get it.

So he came up with an absurd method - since it was impossible to achieve the state of spiritual manifestation by relying on wisdom, he would use strength to achieve it by force.

Although he was not sure what the specific principle was, he seemed to believe that as long as he accumulated enough strength on the path he was walking on, he would be able to overcome it with strength even if he lacked some key talents.

Then, during one of his reincarnations, he transformed his power into several seeds through a mysterious ritual and dispersed them to be bestowed upon the geniuses of his reincarnation era.

Each seed has different attributes. The seed does not directly give power to the target, but converts the target's talent into the same state as the seed's attributes and manifests them all.

Suppose it was a seed of "flame", and the genius invaded by the seed might have been a political giant who dominated the world of that era, or a pioneer in science, or might have had other paths to take... However, from the moment of being infected, no matter how many types of talents the target originally had, they would eventually be transformed into only one talent.

That is the talent of manipulating fire.
