Chapter 882 The Death Demon's Self-Destructive Tendency
Li Qi was very curious.
What happened between the four demons in that distant ancient period?
The Death Demon absolutely treated everyone equally. No matter whether it was the Heavenly Demon, the Five Aggregates Demon or the Affliction Demon, he probably didn't want to let them go. All of them had to die.
Then, according to the relationship between the four demons, the Heavenly Demon would definitely not hesitate to step on the Death Demon. Probably, in the death of the Death Demon, the big guys from all sides made a lot of efforts.
And now, three of the four demons are extremely active. The Heavenly Demon even jumped out of the Formless Realm all day long at the risk of being beaten. It is estimated that the repeated jumping has long attracted the intervention of the Buddha.
The Five Aggregates Demon (doubtful) personally came forward to give Li Qi his true rhyme, and he used five strands at a time, and he is still active.
The Affliction Demon personally summoned the fighting force to join the battle between humans and witches, and it is unknown which side he is helping.
So, in the meantime, do you say that the practitioners of the Death Demon lineage have no intentions? Li Qi himself does not believe it.
But the question is, what are their intentions?
According to the usual guess, it should be to bring an end to all things, which is the ultimate goal of the Death Demon lineage.
If the witches want to build a natural world, and the human way wants to replace heaven with humans, then the world that the Death Demon lineage hopes for is a world with nothing.
Li Qi knows a lot about the Death Demon lineage. After all, he has disassembled and interpreted the Daoyun of the Death Demon, and therefore has gained a lot of knowledge and insights.
As a demon, they still have a clear and self-awareness. The Death Demon lineage fully understands their situation, but through the entire Dao of the Demon, they are convinced that the world is nothingness.
This world is originally meaningless and nothingness. The value and meaning of the pursuit are illusory, and this pursuit is futile.
Then, this form of manifestation of nothingness is the negation of vitality. Everything that denies the value of life in reality and makes vitality decline is the pursuit of nothingness.
This pursuit is a feeling, a sense of absurdity.
According to Li Qi's understanding of the lineage of the dead demons, they feel that the fact that they are "alive" is absurd. These thoroughgoing nihilists live in this world and feel that everything is absurd and meaningless. Everything anyone does is meaningless.
The source of this meaninglessness is actually that the world itself has no purpose and meaning of its own. As the saying goes, heaven and earth are not benevolent and treat all things as straw dogs. The world just exists there, neither good nor bad, neither sad nor happy. It is not nihilistic in itself, and the real source of the absurdity is that we humans always have to question the purpose and meaning.
Therefore, we who live in this world always project our expectations of purpose and meaning onto this world, but as we just said, the world itself has no purpose and meaning. Every time we want to ask the world for meaning, but the world has no response to us, so we always feel a deep sense of separation between our existence and the world itself, and this sense of separation is the source of nothingness.
The sense of nothingness makes the practitioners of the lineage of the dead demons feel that this world has nothing to do with me, and has nothing to do with any essence.
If the essence of the world and people is to survive, then people live just to live, and no one will commit suicide.
If the essence of the world and people is kindness, then people will be good to others when they are born, and there will be no evil in the world.
If the essence of the world and people is equal, then people who make more money will divide their money, and we will not feel the disparity in the world.
But it is obvious that people are of all kinds, and the world is the same. People have no essence.
People have all attributes, and the world also has all attributes.
So, it is equivalent to that people and the world do not actually need to have any essence or any attribute.
There will be infinite things happening in the world, and people can do infinite things, but no one has to do anything, and no world has to have anything happen.
So, since the essence of the world is nothingness, let it return to nothingness.
This statement seems very extreme, but in fact... Li Qi also has his own feelings about this.
For Li Qi, his practice is like this. Thinking itself is the root of pain. The more you think, the more painful it is.
The more you understand, the more you feel the insignificance of your life.
The outside world is like a dark continent. If you are a worm without eyes, you can only crawl for food. Although you are trapped by hunger and thirst, you can still have a little happiness.
But if you open your eyes, you will only face endless torture.
Thinking brings pain, but if you want to solve the pain, you can only think.
But that is just drinking poison to quench thirst.
You burn the light of your thinking, solve one pain, and then you will immediately face the second one.
This is like Sisyphus.
It's like pushing a boulder to the top of the mountain. Every time you reach the top of the mountain, it rolls down the mountain again, and all the previous efforts are wasted, so you keep repeating this thing endlessly.
Li Qi's journey of following the path is like this. When he reaches the level, he can only continue to pursue upward, break through once, and then pursue the next breakthrough?
Then, what the first-grade people pursue is just like this, right? What's the difference between them and Li Qi?
What's the difference between Li Qi and those seventh-grade people?
For example, love makes people happy, but in fact, as long as you love, you will feel heartache or even heartbreak.
This is destined.
From the moment you ‘love’, you are destined to lose love, because nothing is immortal, love will expire and deteriorate, and happiness is destined to decline from the moment it is born.
When happiness appears, it represents the appearance of boredom. When ‘life’ appears in this world, ‘death’ also appears.
Do you love? Regardless of the answer, there is only one result, that is, failure.
Even if you win, the result is still failure.
In a world where winning or losing is a failure, what is worth pursuing?
If you want to keep your heart intact, then don’t love anything, but if you don’t love anything, what’s the use of your heart?
If you have to describe it in one sentence, it is ‘drawing the sword and looking around with a confused heart’.
I drew the long sword to this world, but what’s the use?
Everything points to a unique ending, the only necessary ending, that is, “extinction”.
Since the world itself is nothingness, then return to the true nothingness again, so as to eliminate the futility of Sisyphus and end all torture.
The lineage of the Death Demon believes that life will never have any satisfying meaning, and all attempts are futile and illusory. Then this will be a form of self-destruction, which is negative and destructive to all spirits. It is a manifestation of destroying the unpleasant ideals imposed by all things.
They want to deny and destroy a completely indifferent universe.
This is part of what Li Qi learned from the Daoyun of the Death Demon.
Of course, there are all kinds of people among them. Some Death Demon practitioners choose to end their lives, but some choose to help others end their lives.
As for the Death Demon himself...
According to Li Qi's observation and calculation, he should have both.
The Death Demon has a strong tendency to self-destruction. In other words, the Death Demon himself wants to commit suicide, even as a first-grade. In fact, Li Qi believes that the death of the first Death Demon is likely to be his own choice.
The Death Demon is not a fool. Doesn't he know what the result of declaring war on the entire universe is?
Not to mention that it was the "Great Struggle" at that time, which was a super-large-scale chaos caused by the incident of preaching the Tao to the world.
The emperors, saints, witches, gods, immortals, Buddhas, and even the demon clan saints and the four demons will preach in person, and everyone can listen. There is almost no threshold.
All the sects preach selflessly, and everyone can get the orthodox inheritance.
There is no difficult entrance test at all. The precious knowledge from the first-class has been widely spread throughout the universe, and everyone's practice speed is amazingly fast.
In this situation, the death demon still brazenly launched the destruction of the entire universe. This is probably driven by the impulse to destroy the whole world, and it also has a strong tendency to self-destruction.
Anyone can die, anyway, something has to die.
The final outcome is also known, and the death demon has disappeared from then on.
And that era ended because of this.
After all, the birth of that era was ultimately due to the attempts of the first-class.
The first-class has the ability to reshape all realities. Therefore, in that period, there is unlimited energy, all natural treasures are at your fingertips, and all practice resources are complete. Even if you are born in that period, you can enjoy the wonder of walking out to the end of the world.
However, this is not a ‘natural’ state. In fact, such prosperity is based on the fact that many first-class people actively expend their own power to maintain the world.
‘Haotian’, who is known for his gentleness, did not participate in this action, but ‘Taiyi’ was very interested in it.
But the final outcome is well known.
With everything, the best resources, all the geniuses in the universe have not been wasted, everything is perfect, and everyone can grow up in the way that suits them best.
But all this has resulted in an epic Dao struggle. The nine forces in the nine lands of the world are divided into 511 groups, attacking each other and fighting in chaos.
Now it is just a chaos between the three families of human, witch and dragon, and the universe has become like this. It is conceivable what the intensity of the war was like at that time.
Therefore, at that time, the power of the dead demon was directly catalyzed to the extreme.
When this happened, the great Dao sects had to sigh that even if they had all this, it did not mean that all living beings had wisdom and freedom.
In the end, they chose another path, which was to inspire more people through ‘diversity’.
A perfect world may not be perfect, but a diverse world should be wonderful.
Therefore, in the current universe, there are miserable people, happy people, painful people, and happy people.
Creatures with high intelligence will experience various situations and get inspiration from them.
Whether there are few resources or many resources, they are essentially the same, all experiences, and experiences and knowledge will be transformed into the accumulation of life, and then ignite the fire of thought.
Only the sparks ignited by everything witnessed in one's entire life can illuminate the dark path.
However, Li Qi is still very curious.
The desire realm is a collection of projections of all realities, and it is a chaotic soup condensed by the thoughts of all living beings.
So, what did the desire realm look like in that era?
What kind of desire realm would the desires of all living beings at that time shape?
So, in this case... Li Qi uses the current method to explore the Desire Realm, and perhaps he can touch upon the secrets of the Desire Realm in the past, and find past stories from many directions in the Desire Realm.
Li Qi did this, thinking, and constantly "traversed" the entire Desire Realm.
In this process, he sowed seeds, spread the concept of "nothingness", and also witnessed everything in the Desire Realm.
This lasted for 4,500 years.
Li Qi never felt that time was so easy to pass. He obviously wanted to finish and go back quickly, but just one carelessness took thousands of years.
There is indeed a reason why the powerful people have not appeared for a long time. Everything they have to do requires a lot of time and energy.
For example, if Li Qi wants to complete his plan now, then thousands of years is the result of his super overtime, and it seems that there is no end in sight.
Well... while maintaining things here, send a Dharma body to find Shen Shuibi.
I miss my wife.
Moreover, I am also a little curious about what the little bastard has become.
Although he could rely on deduction, Li Qi wanted to see with his own eyes.
So, he separated a Dharma body and temporarily returned to the world at the cost of reducing his work efficiency.
In fact, the cost is not only to reduce work efficiency, but also to some extent dangerous.
Li Qi is not "complete" in the Desire Realm now.
Incompleteness is quite disadvantageous in the battle of the same level, which is one of the reasons why Li Qi has never wanted to go back.
But he couldn't help it.
Think about it, no one will take this opportunity to do it? After all, the Demon Dao has always ignored him, and the Demon Dao above the third grade is walking around Li Qi.
At the same time, the world, Xuanjing Mountain Cave Mansion is located.
As soon as the Dharma body landed here, Li Qi felt an ominous breath.
Although the surroundings are still beautiful and sunny, it seems that nothing has changed, but the faint sense of melancholy shrouds the surroundings.
The dark power lingers in the atmosphere of the mountains. Although mortals can't see it, it seems particularly heavy in Li Qi's sense.
But the next moment, this dark and melancholy atmosphere was swept away.
Because Li Qi is here.
Shen Shuibi turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the cave, hugging Li Qi.
"You bastard... You left without saying anything. The first thing I did after I came out of seclusion was to tell Teacher Zhu that you went to the Desire Realm..." Shen Shuibi held Li Qi tightly, and the calm and cold beauty gnashed her teeth at this moment.
"Look, isn't it okay? Where's Shi Wei?" Li Qi smiled.
"I locked her scapula, just below the root of her nose." Rabbit replied. (End of this chapter)
