There's something wrong with me

Chapter 222 The 'Heavenly Dao' in Reincarnation

"Hungry ghost?" Brother Clam looked puzzled.
"Master, I don't see any malevolent aura in them, so how could they be hungry ghosts?"

"The hungry ghost realm refers to the hungry ghosts among the six realms, not the ghosts and monsters you are thinking of."

Zhang Feng looked at the lizards again.

"Especially in reality, they are less like being 'reborn' as hungry ghosts in the cycle of reincarnation, and more like being transformed into another kind of being."

This kind of modification is similar to a virus; after a person is infected, their overall bodily functions undergo certain changes.

As Zhang Feng spoke, he actually wanted to mention the zombies from Resident Evil.

They are actually organisms that have been modified by viruses.

But based on this timeline, there are also memories of this world within themselves.

Zhang Feng had never seen a similar zombie movie, so he didn't use zombies as an example.

Otherwise, it would be more thorough.

However, even with just that, they all nodded in agreement, understanding that the virus could change the human body.

Simultaneously.

After seeing that they understood, Zhang Feng continued:
"The principle behind these hungry ghosts is actually the same as how viruses change the human body."

Furthermore, in my opinion, even those mythical creatures in mythology, if we were to use the genetic technology of the Great Yama, would be considered to be products of various genetic modification techniques.

In theory, as long as his skill level reaches that level...

He is capable of creating some well-known mythical creatures and figures.

"If that's the case?" the eldest brother replied, "then... wouldn't he be... the creator?"

"That's right." Zhang Feng nodded.

"They can actually create gods?"

"Is the Great Yama still human? Is this a realm that humans can study?"

"According to Master Zhang, the Great Yama is a Golden Core cultivator with a lifespan of at least five hundred years, so he's definitely not a normal human being..."

Seeing that Zhang Gaoren was certain, the others exchanged bewildered and alarmed words.

Because the 'hungry ghosts' have truly appeared now.

What's more, these 'hungry ghosts' can persist for thousands of years, and they live and reproduce in a disgusting way.

This bizarre transformation, and its real existence.

It has severely eroded their normal worldview!
At least let them face these things, and also face a 'six realms of hell' that can transform them.

They found it terrifying and developed a strong psychological aversion to it.

It's like a feeling that even in death you won't find peace, and that you'll be tormented and controlled by others.

Especially during the era of the Great Yama, it was more common for living people to be captured and sent to the Six Realms.

Then, through genetic modification, they extended their lifespan and continued to endure torture.

This is truly worse than death.

Even people today are grateful that they did not live in the 'mythical era' of the Great Yama.

Myths are beautiful, magnificent, and awe-inspiring.

But the reality before them now filled them with immense fear.

Similarly, Zhang Feng also saw the fear in their eyes.

This is exactly what Zhang Feng is worried about in reality.

If we really want to set up a 'technological underworld,' we can extract the 'soul' from it.

Then the stability will definitely be improved again, and the lifespan will definitely be extended.

The matter of reincarnation will surely be something many people are looking forward to.

But it also invisibly places a huge 'cause and effect' shackle on people.

In particular, the cause and effect of this 'personal reincarnation' is determined by oneself.

To ensure absolute fairness, there can only be one underworld in reality, and its calculations must be performed by a combination of human intervention and a superconducting building.

Otherwise, Yama's Palace would really have to be set up in every place.

If someone were to engage in favoritism or corruption, that would be quite amusing.

Anyway, there are advantages and disadvantages.

In Zhang Feng's opinion, even setting aside the soul, just considering this gene technology alone, if it could be applied to reality...

Leaving morality aside.

So, this applies to genes and biology in various industries, and even to cultivation, big data, virtual buildings, and breakthroughs in neurons.

These all have a significant impact.

Biotechnology has always been a major challenge.

Just like medicine and human lifespan in the past, these are biological fields.

Even cultivation itself nowadays belongs to the 'extraordinary biological category'.

The mysteries of life, the origin of humankind, why humans are human, and why humanity resembles a sophisticated biological instrument.

This is a very large discipline.

If you can study it thoroughly, understand yourself, and adjust yourself according to the corresponding situation.

For example, if lifespan is insufficient, genes can be modified to increase lifespan.

If your strength is insufficient, modify your muscles and meridians to increase your power and spiritual energy.

If your thinking isn't enough, modify your brain.

That person was no longer human, but a legendary 'god'.

This discipline is the path to divinity.

Of course, this is a rather straightforward explanation.

Because all other disciplines and all other paths are also the Way.

If you push things to their limits, everything can achieve enlightenment.

What Zhang Feng is doing now is collecting everything and breaking through together through mutual integration and learning.

Even without a breakthrough, just considering the fusion of the Threefold Origin Qi, the fusion of runes and superconductivity, and the orbital cannon.

This integrated system also transcends individual entities.

It includes all kinds of academic and cutting-edge inventions that are extraordinary, and it is not said that it uses only one discipline.

In the simplest terms, can a computer be built using only a piece of iron and mathematics?

Ultimately, we still need to use various instruments for guidance and mix various materials.

However, what I am doing now is not mixing existing materials, but mixing multiple extraordinary systems.

Just like this genetic modification, it can merge with the 'soul' and achieve true reincarnation in the six realms.

Zhang Feng pondered, also studying the structure of the place and recalling the arrangements along the way.

This is a process of refining and improving, so we can see what we can copy when it's built in the future.

It also gives these people time to process the previous news and quickly regain their composure.

You never know when you might need them.

Make full use of human and material resources.

It is also a form of combat power.

This went on for about ten minutes.

After Zhang Feng saw that they had gradually stopped whispering and had mentally prepared themselves, he began to talk about the other four of the Six Paths.

"They all seem very mysterious, but in their core essence, they are all biotechnology that remains the same despite the variations."

Of course, if the modification goes too far, it can create a completely different biological structure.

That means it has truly undergone a complete transformation, becoming a completely new life form.

Because the last of the six realms is the 'heavenly realm of sentient beings'.

"immortal?"

"Master...you mean...he can really 'create gods'?"

The people didn't have a deep understanding of Buddhism and Taoism, but they knew what the Way of Heaven was.

They are nothing more than gods and immortals.

Zhang Feng, however, knew a bit more about the situation. When he heard their absurd claims, he surprisingly shook his head, actually feeling somewhat speechless.

"The beings of Heaven are not actually gods or immortals."

More accurately, in terms of the Buddhist concept of the Six Realms.

The Heavenly Path among the Six Wheels is actually a very special Pure Land.

Those who are reincarnated there have extremely long lifespans.

They will not suffer from the troubles of birth, aging, sickness, and death in this world, but will be carefree.

"Like a Western paradise?" one security guard gave an example.

“You could say that,” Zhang Feng nodded, stating bluntly, “At least in the case of being carefree and having a long lifespan, it’s relatively common.”

However, according to Western beliefs, one must believe in their God to go to heaven.

But in my East, it is doing good deeds.

"By sowing good seeds, one reaps the rewards of Heaven's will."

As Zhang Feng spoke, he didn't want to talk so much about cause and effect and the cycle of reincarnation with these people.

Because they are not like federal citizens in the real world.

Those who are family members generally understand; it can be explained in a sentence or two.

But here, if it's the beginning, then it really needs a proper explanation.

This was exactly what Zhang Feng had expected.

After hearing Zhang Gaoren's words, these people were all confused and felt a sense of awe and wonder.

You might think they understand, but they do understand the literal meaning.

But more than anything, people felt that Zhang was incredibly talented and knowledgeable, with a kind of "knowledge of everything from astronomy to geography".

They even thought that Zhang, who looked to be in his thirties, might actually be over a hundred years old, which was why he was able to learn so much.

'Causality?'

Brother Ha truly understood, and admired Zhang Feng even more.

Honestly, if the situation weren't a bit complicated right now, and the environment weren't so oppressive...

He was even preparing to try to become Master Zhang's disciple.

Of course, more importantly, he valued Zhang Feng's exquisite magic and superb skills.

He wants to learn these things.

call-

Zhang Feng didn't say much to the others, but instead followed the edge of the pit, wanting to try to look down.

Now that they've calmed down, there's no need to worry about leaving them temporarily at the top.

"You don't need to come with me."

At the same time, Zhang Feng stopped his boss, Brother Zhou, and Brother Ha from coming down after seeing that they were about to follow.

Because this pit is hundreds of meters deep, no one knows whether there are any traps or mechanisms inside the walls.

Zhang Feng couldn't care less about so many people.

Let's talk about it after we've finished exploring and it's safe.

At the very least, the boss has to be with him; he's the translator of Yama's script.

This document is also necessary to learn. However, I don't have the extra energy to learn it right now, so the safety of the translators must be considered.

despair-

Also, about ten seconds later.

Zhang Feng followed the wall and successfully stood on the pile of somewhat fragile bones.

Although they were infused with malevolent energy from above, more than a thousand years had passed.

Its toughness is similar to that of some thick iron sheets.

It seemed capable of fully supporting the bodies of those large lizards.

But to me, it's already like a 'thin sheet of paper'.

"Woo~"

When these lizards saw Zhang Feng arrive, they howled in pain, indicating that they felt pain and were not as happy as they appeared to enjoy being devoured by their own kind.

But their limbs were too short and too thin.

After more than a thousand years and twenty or thirty generations of reproduction, they are now born with short, thin limbs and difficulty moving.

Zhang Feng also observed them carefully.

What we see might be a genetic defect in the generation, or it might be something the Great Yama did intentionally.

After they are born, they will most likely just eat, drink, and relieve themselves in the same place.

When they grow up and become large enough to meet the mouths of their own kind.

They reproduce by eating each other.

To be honest, Zhang Feng felt these lizards were too twisted.

Whoosh—

next second.

Zhang Feng also decisively kicked up the broken bones under his feet. With the support of spiritual energy and strength, dozens of bone fragments shot towards the fat lizards like bullets flying at high speed.

At the same time, there was a hissing sound as it entered flesh.

These bone fragments easily pierced their skulls, and their large bodies completely lost their breath.

This forces them to live, enduring the extreme torture of being forced to bite each other every day.

It would be better to just let them die.

Because they are the offspring of sinners, they are not inherently bad people.

However, not killing them is also a good thing; at least it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.

Both sides have their reasons.

Zhang Feng has now seen through the human element in cause and effect; it is chaotic.

In some matters, there is no absolute right or wrong.

In matters where there is no right or wrong, the question of right and wrong depends more on one's own character.

If you think badly, then it's a bad thing.

If the thought is good, then it's a good thing.

We also need to deal with these lizards.

Zhang Feng used his spiritual energy as a spear to separate the broken bones beneath his feet and continued to probe downwards.

We explored for about twenty meters before reaching the end.

Then use spiritual energy to support the bones around his body that were about to bury him.

For a moment, Zhang Feng felt like a submarine in a sea of ​​bones, moving back and forth at the bottom of the crater.

Those on the ground above could no longer see Zhang Feng.

The only way to determine Zhang Gaoren's current location is by observing the 'high-speed moving bulge' above the bone.

"Pay attention, everyone..." After watching for a while, the leader also gave an instruction to the people around him, telling them to be on guard.

Because everyone was looking down, no one was wary of the entrance they came from.

Inside the sea of ​​bones.

After searching about three-quarters of the area, Zhang Feng discovered an opening leading to the hole below.

It was covered by a bluestone slab with a diameter of ten meters.

There are also some formations above that gather evil spirits and gather earth, to ensure that the bones above will not crush it.

But it was precisely this formation that I saw.

Zhang Feng felt that the people from the Heavenly Palace had definitely been to the Underworld, because these formations were created by Yangshan Zhenren and were also 'individual condensation' type of magic.

Then look at the bones above and around.

Zhang Feng suddenly had a question: were these bones brought by people from the Heavenly Palace, or were they originally from the Underworld?
If it's the Heavenly Palace, then it's fine.

If this is the underworld, then after laying out so many bones, if one wants to go to the 'next realm', wouldn't one have to swim through a sea of ​​bones every time?
But think about the Thirty-Three Heavens and the Eighteen Levels of Hell; they can both be described with similar upper and lower levels.

The six realms of reincarnation don't seem wrong.

Huhu—

While pondering, Zhang Feng cautiously lifted the 5-ton stone slab.

With a physique of 100, the maximum basic strength is 1000 jin, which is actually unattainable.

But in addition to foundation building, there are three dantian, as well as internal energy and talisman formations, etc.

Let alone increasing strength by 10 times, even the limit of 100 times is possible.

Especially when the Golden Core undergoes a qualitative change, the increase will be tens of millions of times.

Based on the initial setup, this stone slab should be the second major obstacle after the lizard.

If you don't have the strength, then you can only slowly wait for time to develop.

Wow—

The stone slab was opened.

Zhang Feng saw a similar huge cave below, but it was empty and he could see the end of it at a glance.

Especially at the bottom of the cave, there is an even larger stone slab.

Jump down.

After a quick assessment, it weighed about ten tons.

It's twice the size of the previous one.

Then, without saying anything more, we continued moving.

Snore—

Move it again.

Below was another cave, but this time the water elemental energy was much stronger.

Below another pool of water, there were stone slabs, even larger ones.

Zhang Feng was completely baffled this time, wondering what the underworld's purpose was.
After all, according to the Six Paths and the levels he imagined.

Below the realm of hungry ghosts should be the realm of animals, but there were no animals or even bones in the previous cave.

This should be the Asura realm, but there are no warlike Asuras constantly waging war; instead, it is dominated by water.

However, there was also a stale, bloody smell in this water element.

It looks like it's been cleaned up.

But why weren't the hungry ghosts from before cleared out?
Zhang Feng was increasingly confused.

But let's move it first.

With a rumble, the 15-ton stone slab, three times the size of a hungry ghost, was moved aside.

This is the fifth path, the path of humanity.

His gaze fell downwards.

Zhang Feng saw something different here; it was filled with a scene resembling an underground forest inside a rat hole.

However, there were no human beings inside, but all sorts of strange little insects.

despair-

When Zhang Feng landed on the ground, he startled the insects away.

And in the very center of the cave, there is also a stone slab.

But it would be more appropriate to call it a boulder now.

With a slight push of spiritual energy, it no longer doubled, but directly increased to 25 tons!
Zhang Feng really didn't understand, and didn't know which meaning this subtly corresponded to in the Buddhist concept of the Six Realms.

This irregular increase does not conform to any known theory of the Six Realms.

Even according to the theory of cause and effect, there is no rule about how many times one must do good deeds or virtuous acts in order to enter a better realm of existence.

But at the same time.

Zhang Feng suddenly had an idea: what if we follow the difficulty level of the text, with the difficulty increasing progressively from text to text?

The 'core' of this world might not be about killing enemies, but about relying on one's own strength to quickly navigate the map and solve puzzles?
Is it like pushing aside a rock, or like some kind of 'test of strength' in writing?
In the context of games, this kind of test-based challenge is also quite normal.

However, this is a reality I experienced firsthand.

Then Wenzi felt that the arrangement of the six realms in this world was in line with the setting of this strength test, and so he arrived.

If you calculate it this way...

So if the test is successful, shouldn't I gain something from it?

Because just before that, after killing those dozen or so lizards, the non-main quest was actually completed.

So all that's left is to decipher and test it.

Otherwise, you'll gain nothing in this world, and it's only a short 3-year period, plus double the experience points.

This in itself is the biggest challenge!

Because of the short time, it was impossible to continue to deduce the progress of cultivation.

Once this world is completed, we'll jump to level 8 world.

This is clearly a test of one's own skill level to the fullest extent.

If you get nothing, you'll lose a lot.

Fortunately, with its increased power by a hundredfold, moving this 25-ton rock was a piece of cake.

Boom!

At the same time, it was moved away again.

Zhang Feng also suddenly jumped very far away to avoid a monster suddenly jumping out from under the rock.

Then, I regained my strength.

Zhang Feng walked to the cave entrance, looked down, and saw a corpse.

It sat in this empty cave, a dead 'celestial being'.

But his bones were covered with dense 'Yama script'.

Furthermore, on his drooping hand bones, there is a line of characters carved into the bone, which reads "Xia Wen".

'The cycle of rebirth in the six realms is all within me.'

'I am the Great Yama'

At the same time, there was a line of writing next to him.

Yangshan came to pay his respects to the Daoist brother, but unfortunately he had no chance to see the Daoist brother's peerless beauty.

We are separated by seven hundred years, how lamentable and tragic.
