Pope Shenhua’s tone was very light and sincere. Even if he didn't do this deliberately, it could make people feel that he did regret this matter, or even repent.
Even if you don't explain the bloodshed behind the experiments of the Divine Cult, others can guess some clues.
"But although I regret it, I can't stop it. No matter the me in the past, the me now, or the me who is born next after I am lost, there is no way to stop this."
"Once something happens, it just can't be stopped."
Pope Shenhua said profoundly: "You should have seen the power of divine light."
Lu Li nodded and said calmly: "Monsters created by fusing Poseidon's flesh and blood with divine power. Yes, I have indeed seen one and killed one with my own hands."
Hearing this, Pope Shenhua shook his head and said: "No, if it is complete divine light, with your current strength, there is no way to kill it. Your understanding of divine light is only half correct. It It is indeed a fusion of the flesh and blood of the Poseidon General and the divine power of the Celestial Clan, but the creation of divine light does not really rely on these."
"Is it blood?"
Before Pope Shenhua could continue to explain, Lu Li said: "The ancient court and the ancient tribe worked together to study how to continue the bloodline of heaven and humans. Since the divine religion has inherited these, it is definitely impossible to give up the power of the bloodline. And since the era of all races, , without the help of Guting and the Water God clan, many ancient clans like the Nalan family can only usher in their decline. It is impossible for them to give up the benefits brought by the blood of heaven and humans. In order to continue this power, you actually don’t need to Whatever you do, they will come to you and make a choice.”
"It seems that Sanli's appearance has given you a big shock."
After listening to Lu Li's words, Pope Shenhua immediately understood something.
He knew that Lu Li had met Sanli, and he also knew how cruel Sanli, the 'humanoid martial spirit' created by absorbing the life and flesh of the entire younger generation of the Nalan family, represented. However, he still sighed, shook his head and said, "Lu Li, you still don't understand what each and every living life of you, me, and all living beings means."
"In other words, what does life itself mean?"
"Is it alive? There are seven emotions and six desires in one life, and all kinds of flavors. Even if you become a heavenly being, you can't completely erase the complex human nature. The human race thinks that it is an intelligent life and has control over everything, but it has never thought about a problem."
He pointed to the ground under his feet, and his voice was very soft, but like thunder: "To this world itself, who are we?"
Lu Li's expression changed slightly.
However, Pope Shenhua continued: "The True Martial Territory is so vast that even if you reach the realm of gods and humans, you may not be able to travel all over it. To this world, we humans are just some ants. We are as strong as the Grandmaster. Slightly larger ants and gods can leave this world, so what? Are they detached? What changes will happen to the world itself from one world to another?"
"Have you never thought about why the improvement of the world's status requires the strength of the human race as a whole?"
After raising this question, Pope Shenhua slowly said the answer: "Take it from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and return it to the consciousness of the world."
"The powerful source of the human race comes from the aura of heaven and earth, and the essence of aura of heaven and earth is nothing else but the power of the 'world'."
"Hundreds of years ago, I traveled to a strange continent. The people there did not practice martial arts, but developed a brand new system. Among them, there was a very special technique called Gu Chong. Those who used secret techniques to The cultivated Gu bugs are put together to fight, and only the strongest ones can be selected as their own Gu to follow the master in battle and give feedback to the master."
"Does it feel familiar?"
Pope Shenhua laughed, a little coldly, "To this world, we are just a group of Gu insects. Its consciousness awakens, increases the concentration of the spiritual energy of the world, releases the so-called luck, and cultivates batch after batch of The strong one makes it itself more powerful. So what do you think, our lives, mean?"
Lu Li was silent for a long time, and finally frowned and said, "This is not the reason why the divine religion cultivates artificial life."
Although Pope Shenhua's words made Lu Li a little confused and gave him ideas about many previously unexplainable things, this had nothing to do with the cult of God cultivating artificial life, or even cultivating artificial celestial beings.
If the human race is just a group of Gu insects to the Zhenwu Domain itself, when the human race practices martial arts, they indeed draw strength from the Zhenwu Domain. Without the aura of heaven and earth, without those energies, it would be impossible for the human race to become powerful.
This is a mutually beneficial relationship.
If Pope Shenhua wanted to use this incident to excuse the behavior of the divine religion, it would be too far-fetched.
"So I said that although you are very smart, you are not smart enough."
Pope Shenhua stared at Lu Li and said, "You have also seen the powerful men of Tianwaitian, and you know that not all the heavenly beings of the human race are dead. They are all hiding in the interlayer of space outside Tianwai, and they even deliberately prevent the Zhenwu Domain from opening next time. Da Shi, I don’t want the status of Zhenwu Domain to be improved, do you know why?”
Hearing this, Lu Li frowned again: "Because the world's status has improved, they will not benefit from it. On the contrary, their own combat power will be weakened due to the increase in the strength of the boundary wall."
"Ha ha."
What surprised Lu Li was that after hearing this answer, Pope Shenhua burst out laughing. Moreover, the laughter did not stop, but intensified.
Then the scene became extremely strange.
Lu Li stood there with no expression on his face.
Pope Shenhua sat on the stone, laughing so hard that he almost burst into tears.
"You are so... so naive."
After laughing for a long time, Pope Shenhua realized his gaffe, waved his hand apologetically, suppressed his smile, and said with a slight twinkle in his eye: "I know you have been to the world beyond the sky, the River of Two Realms, and the Palace of Life. ,Is it right?"
Before Lu Li could admit or deny it, Pope Shenhua continued: "The River of Two Realms is the boundary between life and death, a false world that cannot even be called a world. And the Palace of Life has a unique status among the heavens. Specially, each generation of Life God itself is the manifestation of world consciousness. The stronger the Life God, the stronger the world. These two worlds are indeed very novel to you, and they will also make you mistakenly think that you have come into contact with the truth. In fact, , they are all outliers among the heavens and cannot be considered as examples at all.”
"Do you think that so many heavenly beings are trying their best to prevent the improvement of the world status of the Zhenwu Domain just to prevent their own strength from declining?"
"Otherwise?" Lu Li stared at Pope Shenhua. Although he was surprised in his heart as to why he knew about the Two Realms River and the Divine Art of Life, he still resisted showing it and said in a deep voice, "If this is not the reason, what else is there? Is there a better reason?"
"You think of the world consciousness as too kind, and you think of heaven and humans too simply."
Pope Shenhua restrained his smile and said, "The most important thing for a strong person at the heavenly level is not the change in combat power, but the change in the level of life. After reaching the realm of seeing gods, the level of life has become extraordinary and has completely evolved into a more perfect creature. , you have known this for a long time. So, what harm does the improvement of the world's status have to the heavenly and human-level powerhouses whose life levels have become more perfect? Can they be turned into mortals again? "
"If this is the only reason, apart from the first batch of heavenly beings, how could the new heavenly beings who subsequently join Tianwaitian not fight to the death with those old guys?"
"Because they know very well what the world really looks like."
"At the end of the era of all races, they believed that the end of the world was coming, so they built the interlayer of space called Tianwaitian, hoping to avoid the coming apocalypse of spiritual energy decline. But later they discovered that the real apocalypse does not occur after the spiritual energy declines, but after the spiritual energy declines. When spiritual energy surges!"
Pope Shenhua said word by word: "Once the world's status is promoted and the world's consciousness is completely awakened, it will regain the power once given to the 'Gu insect', integrate everything, and promote it into a stronger world!"
