Wang Baole shook his head and looked at the pictures formed by the emperor's memories in front of him again, his expression still complicated.
In the picture, the first ray of life born in this vast universe has been alone in this vast universe, practicing for countless years. Fortunately, the appearance of the parrot has made these two lives accompany each other.
In the following years, with the emperor's cultivation, when his cultivation reached a certain level, the laws of this universe also became comprehensive, until other life forms were born one after another.
In the early days, the emperor watched the appearance of those lives curiously, and did not disturb them often or interfere too much. However, his occasional appearance still had an impact on these lives.
His totem was slowly outlined in the prototype of civilization formed by these life forms, and he... was gradually called a god...
Until more and more life groups appeared, more and more civilizations were formed, and legends about gods were passed down from generation to generation... At the same time, under the occasional guidance of the emperor, the methods of practice slowly became like seeds. spread in more and more civilizations.
I don’t know when the civilized people in this vast universe began to practice.
Time passed slowly like this. For the emperor, watching the life in this universe gradually increase and watching a large number of monks appear one after another, he was very happy in his heart.
This made him feel that he was not so lonely anymore.
Finally one day, in one of the civilizations, a strong man was born. He walked out of his civilization and stepped into the starry sky. This seemed to start a certain cycle. In the following years, one strong man after another was born. Born in different civilizations.
In this way, the first person who tried to challenge the gods appeared.
His inheritance does not come from the emperor, but from the parrot that rarely appears in the world.
His name is Xuan Chen.
Xuan Chen's challenge failed, but he chose to follow the emperor and became his subordinate.
As the years passed, those who could reach their own extreme and challenge the gods gradually appeared one after another, but in the end no one succeeded, and one after another became the emperor's subordinates.
If the timeline of this great universe is divided into three parts: the front, middle and back, then in the early days of the great universe, the emperor was indeed a god-like existence.
He has taken his own path to the extreme.
There are one hundred and eight generals under his command, any one of them is enough to suppress an era. Each of them has its own story, including the stunning Luo in the later period, and the ill-fated Gu.
If time continues like this, then with the control of the emperor as a god, the middle and late stages of this great universe should still be controlled by him.
But at this time, the emperor's memory recovered somewhat.
Although this recovery did not remind him of who he was, his mission, or his origins, it did remind him of the images of him being buried in a coffin when he died.
Or to be precise, this restored memory comes from the coffin's perception of the outside world.
It was at this time that the emperor realized that the reason why his memory could not be restored was because... he was incomplete.
In the coffin that was fused with the corpse of the previous life, there was another remnant soul of his own.
In the emperor's previous life, after death, the corpse and the shattered soul were sealed in the coffin. According to some ancient ritual that he could not remember the details, but had a vague impression of, he would be resurrected one day.
But unfortunately, before this ancient ritual could be completed, the coffin carrying the body of his previous life encountered this special universe.
This vast universe is indeed special.
The black wooden coffin has been floating in the starry sky for so long. It has encountered many big universes, but none of them can fuse it. Only this big universe... is very different. It actually fused with the coffin and turned it into wood. Source, this accident caused the emperor to be resurrected, but it was incomplete.
If he wants to be complete... he needs to retrieve the other part of the remnant soul that exists in the black wood of the coffin that turned into a wooden path, merge it with himself, and completely complete it, so that the unexpected ritual can return to its original track.
Therefore, the relationship between Wang Baole and the Emperor was not a clone as he had guessed. To be precise, he, like the Emperor, was a life that emerged from the split of the source.
However, due to the rules of this large universe with perfect and comprehensive laws, as well as its particularity, if the emperor is bound here, he cannot plunder it by force, unless he can wait for the moment when this large universe reaches its later stage and is exhausted. Only then can he truly take back the remaining soul and make himself complete.
But... the emperor couldn't wait that long.
So, he thought of a way.
He wants to deceive this big universe and make it feel the danger, so that it will suffer a disaster of destruction. The most powerful disaster of this big universe is... the first law of the birth of the universe.
The origin of Wood Road.
The scene ended here. Wang Baole withdrew his gaze and stood there silently for a long time.
According to outsiders, the emperor was finally arrogant and tried to replace the will of the universe, so he had to endure the Five Elements Wood Tribulation. But now through these memory scenes, Wang Baole has clearly understood...
It's not that the emperor is arrogant, he did all this deliberately. What he wants is not to replace this big universe. What he wants from beginning to end is only one, and that is... the origin of Mu Dao.
Back then, this big universe took away the black wooden coffin and forcibly transformed it into the wooden origin of the universe itself. Then... the emperor used this method to try to lure it out and take it back.
This is the truth.
Wang Baole stood there for a long time and sighed softly.
The more he understood, the deeper he found himself confused. Raising his head at this moment, he looked at the familiar first-level world that emerged in front of him after the emperor's memory screen disappeared.
Slowly, his gaze became deeper and deeper.
"There are three more levels to come... and three more memories." Wang Baole took a deep breath, swayed his body, and walked forward. He wanted to go through these three levels as quickly as possible to read all the emperor's three subsequent memories.
And the moment Wang Baole walked away, everything in this world turned into food at this moment, and every food exuded an aura that made people crave for it.
It is the law of appetite.
If it were just like this, the manifestation of this law was not weird enough. What was really weird was that Wang Baole suddenly felt like... every part of his body seemed to have become a delicacy at this moment.
He needed a lot of restraint to suppress the crazy appetite coming from his body.
Because... if one cannot suppress it, under the influence of the law of appetite, he will be unable to control himself and eat his body bit by bit.
Chapter 1431
This is the law of appetite.
As the first Law of Six Desires that Wang Baole has mastered deeply after entering Yuanyu Daokong, it can be said that his understanding of it is the most profound among all the Laws of Six Desires.
After all, regardless of the subsequent desire to hear, see, and finally intend, the time and energy Wang Baole spent on it were very short.
Only with regard to the Law of Appetite, he came into contact with it from the very beginning, and slowly accumulated and exploded all the way until he reached the level of a glutton, and his understanding of it was very profound.
He clearly knows that the source of the Law of Appetite is actually the desire for food, and the breath produced by this desire is the best nutrient for practicing the Law of Appetite.
For example, the Gluttony Festival in Appetite City is a feast where the Lord of Desire and the Lord of Gluttony divide the gluttonous atmosphere among the monks in the city.
It is precisely because of this understanding that although Wang Baole is breathing rapidly at this moment, his eyes are still firm. In fact, with his current cultivation and attainments, it is impossible for the simple law of appetite to have such an impact on him.
What really makes this law of appetite powerful is actually... the superposition of desires.
This level seems to be the law of appetite, but whether it is what you see with your eyes, the ubiquitous aroma, or the sound of food being cooked, the fusion of these desires makes the law of appetite reach an incredible level. Degree.
Even if Wang Baole has become a part of desire, he will still be affected.
And the influence itself... Wang Baole also had the answer after going through the previous levels.
"The battle between desire and reason!" Wang Baole murmured. Although his six desires turned into desires after they were completed, desires are not all he has. To a certain extent, it can be said that he is controlling his own desires.
And the road to this level is to make Wang Baole's desire explode in a big way, and to suppress his reason like a resistance, so that Wang Baole will be controlled by desire and lose his reason.
This is something he cannot allow.
In Wang Baole's perception, desire... is like a ferocious beast from ancient times, and reason is a cage that imprisons this ferocious beast, and the lock of this cage is also made of reason.
Once the lock is opened, he will lose himself.
For example, at this moment, with the outbreak of the Law of Appetite, the cage of desire locked in Wang Baole's body began to turmoil, but he was not an ordinary person. Whether it was the experience of the Federation or the scenes in the world of stone monuments, Wang Baole could reach this day from his humble beginnings. Although there is an element of luck, his perseverance is also one of the cornerstones!
Be cruel to others, and be even more cruel to yourself.
This is his character, so at this moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and when he raised his right hand, just like before, a blood mark was slowly drawn between his eyebrows.
But the difference is that this blood mark is extremely deep, as if it is carved on the skull between the eyebrows, and the scratching sound is enough to make people's hair stand on end after hearing it.
The tingling feeling, coupled with the blessing of tactile desire, immediately suppressed all desires, making Wang Baole's eyes shine as he walked forward step by step.
All food loses its temptation in front of it, no matter how exquisite it is, no matter how fragrant it is, and no matter how mouth-watering the sound is, everything is lost in the sting of touch. utility.
Wang Baole's expression became calmer and calmer as he took the fourth, fifth, and sixth steps. The moment he took the seventh step, Wang Baole was also ready. He raised his head and saw a figure.
It was the woman holding an umbrella who appeared in the previous level.
An appetite that was countless times stronger than before exploded at this moment, making Wang Baole's eyes red. He had an urge to eat the woman in front of him.
"It's only the fourth level now... It's already reached the point where I can't suppress it anymore. Then the fifth level of desire, and the sixth level of desire..." Wang Baole was silent, and it took him a long time to finally suppress the madness in his body. When he came down, he ignored the woman and stepped into the statue of this world.
As he stepped in, all the previous senses disappeared in an instant, and what appeared in front of his eyes was what he expected...the picture from the emperor's memory.
The picture seems to be connected with what was seen in the previous Jianyu level.
The emperor thought of a way and deliberately caused the disaster to come. He made all preparations and faced the disaster head-on.
In the picture, the entire starry sky was roaring. Above Yuanyu Daokong, the void starry sky turned into a huge vortex, and an aura that made the entire universe tremble erupted in the vortex.
Soon, a huge black piece of wood slowly emerged from the whirlpool, revealing the vicissitudes of life, carrying traces of endless years, and fell directly towards Yuanyu Daokong!
As it fell, the black wood slowly shrank, and when it finally penetrated Yuanyu Daokong completely, it turned into a black wooden nail, with infinite power, light of destruction, and sensation in the universe. The breath went straight to... the figure sitting cross-legged on the top of a mountain peak in the depths of Yuanyu Daokong!
That figure had long hair, wore a purple robe, had deep eyes, and looked exactly like Wang Baole.
However, his expression was more stern, and there was indifference in his eyes, as if he was indifferent to everything. Only when he looked at the approaching black wooden nails, there were emotional fluctuations in his eyes.
It was a desire that was extremely strong, and it was also a deep expectation!
Obviously, he had been waiting for this moment for a long, long time. In order to welcome it faster, the emperor stood up from his lotus position and roared towards the sky.
The next moment, the black light shone brightly, and the black wooden nails whizzed, appeared in front of the emperor, and touched his eyebrows in an instant, directly breaking open his skin and skull, as if they were about to penetrate.
But the cultivation from the emperor also exploded at this moment, so that the black wooden nail did not completely penetrate in the end, but only penetrated 70%, and was stuck in the middle of the emperor's eyebrows.
Although it was only 70%, the impact and explosion of breath still caused the emperor's blood to spurt out, and his body was directly blasted into the earth. The entire Yuanyu Daokong was shaking, as if it was about to collapse.
In the depths of the earth, cracks appeared on the emperor's body, spreading throughout his body, as if he was about to be torn apart. However, the emperor was well prepared. At the moment when he was about to fail, auras gathered from all directions. All his generals were given life at this moment.
The emperor's body healed rapidly and gradually reached a certain balance!
"Then, it's fusion!"
"After the fusion is completed, I... will regain all my memories, remember who I am, and remember my mission..." The emperor sat cross-legged deep in the earth, murmured, and closed his eyes.
The memory picture stopped here, and as it was fragmented, it turned into countless fragments and disappeared in front of Wang Baole.
Looking at the fragments, Wang Baole had a lot of thoughts. He suddenly wanted to know what the emperor would say when he passed through the Six Desires Level and saw the emperor's true form.
Because obviously, the emperor's plan eventually had an accident.
"The specialness of this big universe..." Wang Baole was thoughtful, and he suddenly thought of... the inheritance of immortals.
