The Law of Heaven

Chapter 17 Mind Field

After Aihara secretly practiced, he determined that the ability of the second form of Alaya consciousness was to release a field of thought that could extend about ten meters from him and exert an invisible force on everything within the field.

The reason it took so long was because the teacher and classmates were all there, and he didn't dare to make too much of a commotion.

We can only try it in secret.

"I see. So it is indeed an ability related to mental will, only it has changed from simple perception to the ability to influence matter. Interesting."

However, the output of this mental field is not strong at present. According to the test, it is about the same as the limit of a healthy ordinary adult, and he needs to concentrate highly to achieve that effect.

Therefore, he still needs the Perfection Technique.

Otherwise, one cannot improve one's abilities.

After all, the morning's contact had exhausted his energy and spirit; he could feel his soul withering away.

Aihara gripped his pen and scribbled furiously on the exam paper. He placed his phone on the edge of the desk drawer, touched the screen remotely, and opened Master Zhou's online course.

Thanks to his Alaya consciousness, he can see the content displayed on the screen without looking down at his phone, which brings him great convenience.

A day had already made him accustomed to this newfound sense of awareness, as if it were an innate ability bestowed upon him, signifying that the fusion between the ancient artifact and him was flawless, and that his talent was indeed outstanding.

In fact, he doesn't really need to study anymore, since his Alaya consciousness can help him see the answers on other students' exam papers.

It is possible to cheat perfectly during the college entrance examination.

But if he's extremely unlucky and everyone within ten meters is a poor student, then trouble is brewing.

So, just to be on the safe side, you should still learn it.

"Students, please open your textbooks to page 42..."

Today, the physics teacher was very strict. He noticed that the students were quite restless after yesterday's attack, so he had no choice but to use the upcoming college entrance examination to put pressure on them, and the effect was quite good.

The pressure of the college entrance examination quickly overwhelmed the students. Yi Ran, who had been discussing the attack with the student behind him, also obediently lowered his head to do his questions. However, he glanced to the side out of the corner of his eye and muttered to himself, "What is Brother Yuan doing?"

Aihara had already secretly put on her headphones and huddled in a corner against the wall to listen to Master Zhou's online lecture.

The online course began with Master Zhou's utterly idiotic speech, but when he got to the main point, he became serious and spoke in a profound tone:

"The origin of all life in this world comes from a grand death."

These words inexplicably touched Aihara.

"Death is the end that every living thing will face. The withering and passing of life can happen anytime and anywhere in nature. Only the human species has a special feeling about death. And only humans will use the method of funerary sacrifice to commemorate their own death. Humans think about where the soul goes after death, imagine the afterlife, and fantasize about reincarnation and being reborn."

"Is all of this due to humanity's fear of death? Perhaps some interpret it that way, but in my eyes, it's not. I believe that humanity has misunderstood the purpose of funerary sacrifice. The earliest funerals were not emotional memorials, but rather ancient rituals performed by the deceased to resist death!"

"We firmly believe that the origin of the immortal race stems from an ancient funerary ritual. The first immortal race was born in such a ritual, transcending the mortal body and truly attaining immortality!"

The wind blew in through the cracks in the window, making the curtains sway like a skirt, and the textbooks and test papers in the classroom were blown by the wind, making a rustling sound like the tide.

The weather was gloomy, and the wind carried the smell of earth.

It's going to rain again.

Aihara suppressed his fear and adjusted his headphones.

The video he had seen the night before flashed through his mind: a strange and eerie burial complex existed deep within the mysterious and ethereal misty mountains.

"We don't know in which era the first immortal being originated, nor do we know how he learned of the existence of this ritual, but he did change history and the world. The existence of that first immortal being is an inexplicable paradox. As we all know, humans with certain qualities, after fusing with ancient relics, gain mass in their souls, which is called spiritual matter. Spiritual matter brings us extraordinary power, and when it manifests, it grants us all sorts of strange abilities."

"The most crucial link in this process is the ancient relics. The essence of the ancient relics is the original spiritual essence extracted after the death of the immortal species, or the original spiritual essence extracted from the principles of heaven. In the ancient times before the immortal species existed, where did humans obtain the ancient relics that enabled them to complete the fusion and awaken their spiritual essence?"

“Some students might say that the original immortal being achieved self-awakening and transcendence by fusing with ancient relics of the Heavenly Principle level. Indeed, some people have proposed this possibility, but after our data analysis, we determined that this statement is untenable. This is because we have evidence that the Heavenly Principle only began to appear frequently in history after the birth of the immortal being.”

“We have analyzed historical data and found that whenever the immortal species begin to spread frequently in an era, the frequency of the appearance of the Heavenly Principle also increases simultaneously. There is a special functional relationship between the two. That is, there is an extremely hidden connection between the immortal species and the Heavenly Principle.”

"As we all know, the ancient relics that emerge after the death of an immortal being cannot fully demonstrate the power they possessed in life. Based on this premise, and considering the law of conservation of energy, where does the immortal being's spiritual essence go after death, apart from the spiritual essence carried within the ancient relics?"

"We are not saying that the existence of Heavenly Principles is created from the spiritual matter of the immortal beings after their death. But the appearance of Heavenly Principles must be inextricably linked to the immortal beings."

"After the first immortal being performed the ritual, it is highly likely that it broke some kind of rule of this world, allowing something that originally could not affect the real world to appear in our perception."

"Yes, that's the reason for the alternate dimension. Some scientists have observed the traces left when the alternate dimension appears and named it a wormhole. In fact, the alternate dimension is a space that overlaps with reality, a bit like Schrödinger's cat, presenting two superimposed states. When ordinary people enter the alternate dimension, they will think that this is just an ordinary shopping mall. But when immortal beings enter the alternate dimension, they will see the past that should have been annihilated, as if they have traveled through time and space."

"Time in the alternate dimension does not flow; it is forever frozen at the moment it took shape. The formation of the alternate dimension is often closely related to the emergence of the natural order. Once the natural order awakens, it will erode the real world. The spacetime we inhabit will also be affected, and spacetime will be forcibly distorted, thus forming the alternate dimension. Behind the alternate dimension often lies danger; there may be zombie-turned dead apostles, or even the ancient natural order!"

“We know that once the number of aliens surges, the ecological balance of this world will be broken, disaster will strike, it will erode the present world, and cause turmoil.”

"One of our duties as immortals is to maintain the balance between the present world and the other side. To do our best to prevent the revival of the divine and to eradicate the dead followers who believe in them."

"Don't ask me what the principles of Heaven are. So far, our understanding of them is very limited. I can only tell you that the myths and legends around the world are actually just vague descriptions of the principles of Heaven. But the existence of the principles of Heaven is very strange. Some of them are powerful enough to destroy the world, while others are so weak that they are no different from ordinary people."

"They are mythical creatures. So far, all we know is that they are indeed a special kind of life, but their physical forms are incredibly diverse. They can be a dragon that destroys the world, or an ant that you step on, or even someone next to you."

In the video, Zhou Lunshuo smiled mysteriously and said, "Maybe your family members have already been replaced by some divine authority. Applause if you understand!"

Upon hearing this, Aihara temporarily turned off the video.

It must be said that this Master Zhou does have some real talent. He can use concise language to describe the origin of the immortal species. Although the content of his lectures may not necessarily be the truth, it can mostly withstand academic scrutiny.

The most subversive aspect of Aihara's understanding was his interpretation of human funerary rituals, which was simply absurd. Zhou Lunshuo believed that there is no such thing as unfounded superstition in the world, and that humans, being self-interested beings, would not waste resources and manpower on meaningless matters.

Therefore, the ancients must have believed that funerary sacrifices brought some kind of benefit to them, which is why they continued this ancient tradition.

"Ancient people could only integrate ancient artifacts through burial, so why don't modern people need to? Or is it that everyone needs them, but I don't?"

Aihara lowered his head and stroked his right hand, the dragon bone bracelet on his wrist vanishing in an instant: "The origin of all life comes from a grand death."

If funerary sacrifice is not a feudal superstition but a ritual, then other customs in human civilization may also have extraordinary significance and are worth studying.

Aihara suddenly remembered something his second uncle had said to him when he was drunk, and it inexplicably touched him.

"What the world is like depends on your perception. If you interpret many things from a different perspective, you will get completely different answers."

Therefore, many unsolved mysteries or supernatural events that have been passed down from ancient times to the present may be found to have corresponding answers from another perspective.

Aihara then thought of the Mirage.

The formation of heterodoxy is accompanied by the revival of the natural order.

So how do mirages come about?

According to Zhou Lunshuo, countless alternate sides must have existed in this world, since the existence of the laws of nature and immortal beings is too ancient to be verified.

Unfortunately, the mirages are numbered.

Moreover, it is a special heterolateral.

The serial number is 09.

Aihara rested his hands on his forehead: "The Mirage Tower may be quite ancient, and Uncle might not even be its first owner. This alternate side has special rules, and it can even be controlled. Besides the Mirage Tower, are there other similar places in the world?"

interesting.

There are still many unknown mysteries.

Aihara became even more curious about the world of immortals.

Just as Aihara was deep in thought, someone patted him on the shoulder, pulling him back to reality.

"Brother Yuan, let's go."

Yi Ran reminded him, "They've gone to the playground for an assembly."

"Oh, we still have a gathering on a rainy day?"

Aihara frowned, somewhat annoyed. He hated this kind of boring formalism the most, with students standing in the rain while school leaders spoke on the stage.

After school, he has to register to become a hunter, so he doesn't have much time to spare. He needs to make the most of his time to learn some knowledge in case he needs it.

"There's nothing we can do. After such a big incident yesterday, the school leaders have to give an explanation. Although the media suppressed the news, many parents still filed complaints. I reckon the principal didn't sleep well at all last night." Yi Ran was a little gloating. At his age, he didn't understand many things and didn't think yesterday's events were that terrible, even though he almost died.

Aihara is the same; he's at an age where he's quite oblivious. But some students might be more fragile and could have been traumatized.

Old Wang, clutching his buttocks, started calling for help in the corridor. Xiangyuan and Yi Ran exchanged a glance and walked out together. Hundreds of people marched downstairs to the playground.

The sky was overcast, and a light rain was falling on the lawn. All eight classes of senior high school students had gathered, and no one was holding an umbrella, silently getting wet in the rain.

The school leaders haven't arrived yet, which is their usual practice. It's as if arriving late shows they're usually very busy, but in reality, they're just showing off their official power and making things difficult for the students.

As Aihara reached the end of the class line, a thought struck him, and an invisible field of consciousness silently expanded above his head, blocking the drizzle that was carried by the wind.

"Huh, the rain has stopped?"

Yi Ran looked around like a complete idiot.

Aihara focused his attention on controlling his mental field. Since he had nothing better to do, he decided to familiarize himself with his new ability. He played a game of flicking water droplets in the rain, sending the raindrops flying into the faces of a few delinquents from the next class.

Aihara was having a great time until he noticed someone in the corner of the next class silently watching him. Her eyes were beautiful and gentle, as if they could bloom flowers.

That was Yu Xia, the school beauty. She was one of the few girls who could break the school rules and wear her hair long. Her naturally reddish hair was slightly wet in the rain, messing up her bright eyes. The corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, making her look as charming as a little fox.

Many students weren't in the mood to listen to the leader's rambling, and took the opportunity to secretly peek at the exceptionally beautiful girl. Her school uniform was slightly open, revealing her fair neck and delicate collarbone, and you could also see her black tank top.

"Hello, Aihara-kun."

Yu Xia didn't dare to speak loudly. She just pouted her red lips and mouthed the words, then quietly waved her hand. Her right wrist was still wrapped in a blood-stained bandage.

Why did she greet me?

Aihara suddenly remembered.

The police chief of Wanghai Road Police Station is my second uncle's good brother.

Yu Xia is the director's daughter.

No wonder.
