Chapter 957: Demons Emerge, Buddha Dies

The colorless world collapsed——

The universe should have been empty and nothing.

But at this moment, all matter was in turmoil.

The demon's wild laughter silently gathered in all the air.

This time, it was no longer the demon that sneaked out before, no longer the demon that could only devote a very small part of its power.

But it was the real, complete demon.

All living beings... that is, all living beings, every life with "emotions" and "higher intelligence", including strong intelligent AI life, including inorganic life, including collective intelligence and Gestalt civilization, all life with thinking ability, from gods to mortals——

Every one of them felt at this moment that their emotions were "enriched".

Originally, everything in the universe was so magnificent.

However, many lives could not feel the joy and spectacular scenes from it, because they had seen too much and were numb.

We are tired of the spectacular scenes that happened in the universe again and again, so we are not curious about various wonders at all.

In fact, these practitioners are exhausted and no longer have illusions.

For billions of years, countless practitioners have observed the fate of many worlds, either voluntarily or forcibly, and at the same time experienced their own fate and became the object of observation by others.

You look at me, I look at you, and in the end, no one thinks it is strange.

So many joys and sorrows may be novel to young people, but for these immortals, these have been repeated countless times.

Therefore, many immortals, after experiencing a long life, have even lost their interest in the Tao. They are too lazy to listen to the nagging of this universe and simply let their attention float freely in the void.

The speed of time is unusual in this boring life.

However, at this moment, everything changed.

These immortals who had long lost their motivation suddenly had "desires" at this moment.

Their world suddenly became more colorful.

They rekindled their interest in this world, wanting to taste food, read stories, and experience emotions. The heart lake that had long been dry in their hearts is now gushing with sweet springs.

They stood up, looked around at the boring and unfamiliar desolate scenery, listened to the weak and sharp sound of the wind, the slowly passing time, the faintly painful thoughts, which made them more and more flustered.

The time that was originally accustomed to has become... so painful at this moment.

They ignited desires, which were like appetite, lust, desire for knowledge, desire for conquest, etc. These desires gave them motivation and forced them to act.

Just like when you are hungry, you will desperately look for food.

These desires are the driving force of life and the color of the universe.

Without desire, you will lose motivation and will lie there without wanting to do anything. If it is an ordinary life, it will die because of this, and even if it dies, it will be too lazy to move, because he has no desire to survive.

And if it is an immortal, they will not even die, but just lie there and wait for time to pass.

But they are a little tired.

What does it matter?

Before that, they didn't even care whether they could complete this journey, so what did the scenery outside matter?

However, now, everyone's heart is full of intense vitality. They stand up one by one, and a passion returns to them.

And those practitioners who have not lost their desires and are still working hard, their desires have become more intense!

The lives of all species are exuding passion at this moment.

One world after another, one observable universe after another, vitality begins to expand.

This is a good thing.

Science and technology are developing rapidly, and technological explosions are beginning to appear. Everyone begins to show their desires, everyone is full of motivation, art, technology, and even all kinds of things are booming.

Desire is motivation! And motivation will prompt life to create more and more miracles.

Plants are more prosperous, the competition between plants and animals is more intense, and even the wild beasts are full of power.

Worlds after worlds begin to ignite curiosity about the universe and begin to cross the vast ocean of the universe.

Their families also shouted to those expedition ships:

"For you who are crossing the stars, I wish you happiness!"

But it's not all good.

Because of the explosive growth of desire, many cosmic empires were born. They were crazy, vicious and spread everywhere. Wars between giants, wars that had nothing to do with morality, began to roar.

Huge planets flew around in space at an astonishing speed, killing each other.

Even, not only civilization itself, if you dive into the water or soil of some planets, you can see several glowing microorganisms twitching.

Even microorganisms have begun to expand this desire.

War, began.

The war of all people against all people, a war that will never stop, driven by desire.

In the roar of the war artillery, the clinking of swords and knives, there seemed to be a snickering of the devil.

But this is what mortals see.

In the eyes of beings with reality, things are even more terrifying.

Especially those above the third rank, they see more clearly.

As we all know, life does not only live in one world, but in millions of worlds and hundreds of billions of worlds.

Each world has its historical evolution, its values, that is, their "Tao", which will explore the possibility of ultimately pursuing happiness in its unique living environment.

This universe will have countless kinds of happiness, countless benefits, and countless different cognitions.

Moreover, these countless worlds will also produce countless branches, that is, "world lines".

The number of world lines is infinite.

The possibility of the secondary branch path of each world line is also infinite.

Therefore, the number of world lines observed and changed by the three products is infinite.

At the same time, the number of world lines that are not observed and interfered by the three products is also infinite.

The number of world lines that are partially interfered with by the three products and then abandoned is still infinite.

In the infinity of the infinity, there are naturally infinite creatures.

This is a super large number that cannot be reached by Gonard's arrows, and it is truly infinite.

However, all these "infinites" are filled at this moment.

All infinities follow the infinite demons.

All possibilities, all world lines, and all creatures in them, have their own "demon" at this moment.

Sometimes they would ‘talk to themselves’.

Of course, they thought they were talking to themselves, but in fact… they were talking to the demon in their hearts.

They questioned themselves and their hearts.

But the most terrifying thing was this: they questioned their hearts, and then their ‘hearts’ responded, and they thought that was their own answer…

In fact, even the thoughts themselves were spoken by the demons, and even practitioners could not tell whether they were their own thoughts.

Everyone could be a puppet of the demons, although they knew nothing about it and they all thought they were normal.

Now, the concept of the entire universe, a fully awakened spiritual world, seems to be realized at this moment, and the demons have completely enveloped the spiritual world.

In the past, in the pure spiritual world, there were giant beasts wandering around, and Li Qi was one of them, and the demon kings and demon kings were even more unscrupulous in searching for prey.

Those primitive mortals would use means such as ‘dreams’, ‘drugs’ and ‘meditation’ to allow their spirits to penetrate into the world of pure thinking, while the magic and spiritual ways were like giant beasts entrenched in pure thinking, but some were gentle and some were violent.

Sometimes mortals get enlightenment, and sometimes they get nightmares.

No one knows what the consequences of diving into dreams will be. This kind of spiritual pollution may even descend into civilization and completely destroy the entire civilization, making the pollution from the spiritual world extremely terrifying.

But it is also possible to bring about the rebirth of civilization, and obtain taboo knowledge that would never be obtained under normal circumstances from the hands of some friendly dream beings.

And now, this world that belongs only to ideas has descended on a truly overlord beast.

Is there a perfect spiritual world that can understand and taste the existence of this farce?

The answer is unknown.

But it seems that diving into the spiritual world in the future will be much more risky.

At the moment when the demon threw away all the seals and reappeared, Li Qi also felt something.

The desire world in the body is stirring.

And he also felt a certain call-!

So, Wu Xian's power spread over.

The power from Huanglong also appeared.

The power of the first grade of humanity also looked at Li Qi.

The Five Elements Demon also seemed to pay a little attention.

The Daoyun of Haotian on Li Qi, that is, Yao Ji, suddenly acted as a coordinate and projected the power from Haotian.

It seemed that everyone was waiting for something.

Li Qi couldn't help but sigh. Was it him again?

Was it all brought by the Desire Realm?

He was powerless and could only pause his deduction and turn his attention to the bigwigs around him who were projecting power.

However, at this time, in the formless realm...

At this time, a voice spread throughout the heavens: "Good! Good! Good man, now I have obtained all kinds of wisdom. How can I hear it without hearing it? The so-called deep and subtle treasure, all sentient beings have Buddha nature, and there is no difference between Buddha, Dharma, and monks."

At that time, all the gods and people were terrified, and their hair stood up.

The great bodhisattvas had their hair standing up, their throats and tongues were dry, and they were trembling with fear. They wanted to scatter, and they saw that their bodies were no longer bright, and all their power and virtue were completely destroyed.

The Buddha's sons, Shariputra, Maudgalyayana, etc., all raised their hands and beat their chests, cried and wailed, their limbs trembled and could not hold themselves, blood flowed from all the pores of their bodies and spilled on the ground, blood all over their bodies was like the luxury of the Pagoda, tears filled their eyes and they were in great distress.

Just one sentence.

It made the first-class people in the entire universe look sideways. In the moment when they gathered in front of Li Qi before, it seemed that something extraordinary had happened in Buddhism.

All the Buddhas sighed together: "Alas! Alas! The world is empty! The Tathagata will soon enter Nirvana!"

The Tathagata, the Buddha, is about to fall.

After this moment, the first-class people who were still paying attention to Li Qi disappeared.

While Li Qi shook his head, he also felt a sense of relief.

However, at the moment of relaxation, he immediately sat up again, and a cold sweat broke out on his back!

Li Qi realized something belatedly!

Everyone, including the first-class people and Li Qi, thought that the demons and the desire world were plotting something on Li Qi.

But they were all wrong.

From what happened in this moment, it can be guessed...

The devil has tricked all of them!

———————————

World Honored One.

The strongest and most important ‘Buddha’, the source of all Buddhism, is revered as ‘Buddha’.

When he was in the second level, he finally became enlightened despite the interference of the demons.

At the first level, he suppressed the four demons at the same time and then sealed the heavenly demon.

That's how it exists.

At the same time that the Formless Realm declared its destruction, he also announced his own ‘annihilation’.

All the first-grade, second-grade, and even third-grade people were in extreme shock.

All the first-class people poured in.

At this moment, the time and space where the Formless Realm is located is the most lively place in the entire universe.

No matter how busy the third grade was, even when faced with a life-and-death crisis, they all chose to stop. Whether it was enemies or war, they all gave up what they were doing and witnessed the most terrifying scene in the universe with their own eyes.

The first grade fell.

This is the most terrifying thing since the Taoist War.

World Honored Tathagata, this person whom everyone had never thought of and thought would be absolutely fine, has now... actually passed away.

Everyone is gathered here.

The World-Honored One Tathagata sits cross-legged on a lotus and emits various lights from his face. The bright lights are of various colors including green, yellow, red, white, glass, and agate, illuminating all three thousand great Buddha realms.

Shariputra sat in front of the Buddha, sobbing and choking.

The World-Honored One caressed Shariputra's head, smiled and said, "You should be happy and not fearful."

"World Honored One, why did you enter nirvana?" Shariputra calmed down his emotions and looked at the Buddha in front of him, his master.

"Of course it's because of me." The demon appeared among the master and disciple.

The Buddha gently waved his hand, and the demon was repelled, but he was not annoyed and just laughed.

No one interrupted the demon's laughter.

After he had finished laughing, the World Honored One finally spoke and said: "Evil demons transformed into ascetics and entered the monks. They preached all kinds of heresy and caused many sentient beings to fall into wrong views and preach wrong Dharma."

"That's why the World Honored One wants to spread the Dharma and enlighten all sentient beings." Shariputra said immediately.

"That's why I want Nirvana." Buddha interrupted Shariputra.

The World-Honored One put his hands together and recited a verse:

“In all the worlds, all living things must die.

Although lifespan is limitless, your needs must be exhausted.

The three realms are all impermanent, and everything exists and has no happiness.

With the Tao's nature, everything is empty.

Now that I have entered Nirvana, it is like a fire being extinguished.

The Dharma of all Buddhas is like this, and one should not cry again. "

After saying that... the power of the four demons began to grow explosively.

When the Buddha died, the power of the dead demon increased to an unprecedented level!

Because of this verse, all the suppression of the Dharma of the demon of afflictions and the five aggregates is dissipated.

The demon was even more happy and even started dancing!

The demon danced wildly, causing the surrounding practitioners to become dazzled and confused.

Shariputra was not affected, but clasped his hands together and said, "I wish to achieve nirvana before the World Honored One."
