Augustus came to Dark Moon this time mainly to visit Lallaria and Olypheus. After hearing that his two daughters almost died in the sea of death while hunting for treasure, he broke out in a cold sweat.
That treasure map is actually one of his collections. It is said that it records the location of a treasure in an ancient Sea Clan kingdom. It is not known whether it is true or not. Later, it was stolen by Lalaria, and she even took Olypheus to hunt for treasure together. If Chen Rui hadn't arrived in time, she would have died at the terrible main altar of the abyss.
Chen Rui knew in his heart that this treasure map was not intentionally left behind by the abyss master. The treasure map recorded should be the real treasure, but because of the age, the kingdom of the sea clan happened to be turned into the main altar by the abyss. Fortunately, he sensed the disappearance of Vesirna's link, otherwise, if he was a step late, the consequences would be disastrous.
Augustus seemed to have thought of something: "Chen Rui, you just said that that woman's name is Benxi?"
"Yes, Your Excellency has heard of her?"
"It can't be her... Could it be the same name?" Augustus murmured to himself, and suddenly came to his senses: "By the way, she said before, to return to the middle of the false god? It must be!"
"I think your guess is correct." Chen Rui shrugged, "Ben Xie's strength was originally the peak of a false god, but due to some circumstances, his strength has temporarily regressed, and he is currently recovering step by step."
"It really is her," Augustus said with a wry smile, "When I left Dragon Island to practice, my father Crusier once warned me that there are a few people who should never be provoked. Among these names are There were Satan and Benxie. Unfortunately, I was young and overbearing at the time. After a promotion, I wanted to challenge Satan. In the end, I was easily defeated. If it wasn’t for Satan’s old relationship with my grandfather Sai Shen, I’m afraid I would have It has turned into ashes."
"It's not your grandfather Seshen, but your grandfather's grandfather Mirsto." Ben Xie's indifferent voice came, "What you met should be just a clone of Satan, but that guy has never been a friendly person. Back then, his real body should have been comprehending the power of the silver box in a deep sleep, and he didn't want to let extra factors affect him, otherwise, you would have already become dust of history, little black dragon."
"Huh!" Augustus glanced at Ben Xie. Although according to their real age, Ben Xie and Satan should be strong contemporaries, and they were indeed older than him by an unknown age, but the phrase "little black dragon" In the ears of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, it still feels harsh.
"Dissatisfied with my evaluation of the Dragon Clan? I said the same to Myrsto back then." Ben Xie sneered and said, "You can fight again if you don't agree! Your pseudo-godhead has only just successfully condensed, and you haven't even fully integrated your faith and life. , is not my opponent at all. Even if you have the Dragon God Eye in hand, it is useless, besides, your current Dragon God Eye is just a defective product, and it has not been restored since it was damaged back then."
Augustus was about to have a fit when he heard the words "fight again". He calmed down when he heard the following words: "I stepped into the pseudo-god level because I integrated the essence of the dragon power of the holy dragon Rodriguez. The reason is actually a false godhead. There are all kinds of problems in the integration of faith and life. I hope you can give me corresponding suggestions."
Augustus actually said these words to Chen Rui. In his opinion, Chen Rui has reached the middle stage of false gods and should be able to give him corresponding suggestions. It's a pity that Chen Rui's "false god level" is completely different from ordinary practitioners, and he doesn't even have a false godhead at all. Of course, he can't answer, so he can only look at Ben Xie.
"You seem to be asking the wrong person, little black dragon." Ben Xi glanced at Augustus with a half-smile, "He can't remember anything now, let me tell you."
Augustus looked at Chen Rui in surprise and knew that Ben Xie was not lying. It seemed that this guy really didn't know (or couldn't remember), so he bowed slightly to Ben Xie and said solemnly: "Please advise." .”
This attitude made Ben Xie nod his head: "The most fundamental difference between false gods and demigods is not that ordinary laws rise to the level of law power, but the integration of national beliefs and life, and the real kingdom of demigods is gradually integrated into the world. In the soul, the core of belief and life is formed, as long as the soul is immortal, the core will not disappear, this is the 'pseudo-godhead'."
It was the first time Chen Rui heard such a theory, and asked, "How to integrate the real kingdom into the soul?"
"First of all, you need the real kingdom, and there are many souls who fully believe in you. These are actually the foundations laid by the demigod level. Then... There is a metaphor, it is like creating a space in the soul to integrate all the real things in the kingdom. Among them, this fusion will cause a qualitative change in the law and become a power."
"Creating space?" Chen Rui faintly thought of something, "Does it mean that the country of the nationalized power is the country of the energy structure, which is equivalent to a general framework from the qualitative change of the field to the country. The country of the demigod-level power is It is transformed from a fictitious country of energy into a real entity. It can transmit the assistance of the "clone" of the country during battle, but this country is still separated from itself. At the level of false gods, the country has merged into the false godhead and completely becomes its own Part of it?"
It's just like the cultivation state of some Buddhist teachings:
Nationalization means seeing mountains as mountains and seeing water as water.
The demigod level is equivalent to seeing a mountain but not a mountain, and seeing water is not water.
The pseudo-god level is equivalent to returning to the original point, seeing mountains as mountains, seeing water as water, but compared with before, there have been completely different qualitative changes.
"Of course, this is common sense. You won't even 'forget' this?" Augustus asked Chen Rui curiously, but he didn't ask too much, but turned to the topic, "I Now there are some problems in the fusion country... "
When Ben Xi heard Augustus talk about the difficulties he encountered, he nodded slightly: "The reason is very simple. The power of faith in your country is not enough in terms of 'quality' or 'quantity'. Faith can be said to be the strongest in the country. An important part, the purer and larger the belief, the more solidified the pseudo-godhead, the stronger the power, and the larger the life space it can accommodate. To give a simple example, if your current life space of the pseudo-godhead is a Islands, then Satan... including me, is the ocean!"
Augustus was startled, and with the in-depth explanation of Ben Xie, many puzzles or difficulties seemed to be cleared up.
The practice and comprehension of the power of faith is by no means a one-time achievement. It takes a long time and a lot of energy. The most commonly used state enters a certain dormant state, so that the body and spirit are at the lowest consumption, and the soul is only separated from the kingdom. In, feel the faith.
Ben Xi explained some pseudo-god-level power of faith and the mysteries of dormant secrets, and Augustus couldn't help nodding his head.
Chen Rui, who was listening on the sidelines, finally understood why the supreme three angels, Sariel, and Satan, including Benxie (in the silver box), these peak pseudo-god powerhouses, without exception, would often enter a long "sleep". It turned out to be the truth.
Although the lifespan of a pseudo-god is very long, it is not endless. Sleeping can not only comprehend and practice beliefs, expand and strengthen the country of a pseudo-god, but also greatly reduce the consumption of life.
Chen Rui couldn't help asking: "How is your current pseudo-godhead?"
"Because the damage was very serious at that time..." Ben Xi refers to the time when he and Chen Rui fought in the holy mountain, "but this body's almost absolutely pure soul fusion physique makes my soul fusion quite perfect, and I can be well To fully accommodate the power of my country, plus the previous practice in that place, overall, the recovery is in good condition. For now, the false gods in the early stages are basically a short-term limit. If you want to quickly return to the peak false gods, There's just some kind of shortcut."
"The shortcut you mentioned..." Chen Rui thought of what he said in the previous battle between Ben Xie and Augustus, "Could it be a country that devours others?"
"To be more precise, it is devouring the false godhead. Not everyone has this ability. The false godhead has powerful power. If you are not careful, you will be destroyed. But I happen to have this talent. Although the power I get is not as good as What you have cultivated yourself is purer and stronger, and it will take longer to digest and assimilate to achieve the desired effect, but it is the only shortcut to quickly expand your strength."
"The higher the level of the other party's false godhead, the greater the benefits to me. For example, this little black dragon, after devouring it, I can try to recover...or call it 'shock' the middle stage of the false god." The "little black dragon", Augustus has completely entered a certain state at this moment, oblivious to other things.
Of course Chen Rui would not agree with Ben Xi: "Is there any other way?"
"Then choose another person. Now you bring Satan to me to devour, and I can directly return to the state of the peak false god. If you give me time to fully digest, then the strength will be even stronger than before."
"This is too difficult." Chen Rui smiled wryly, "I still want to rely on you to quickly recover your strength to deal with him, how about this, I will give you a try to strengthen the star in that special world, just like my friends before From the perspective of the situation, the effect is quite good.”
"Okay. But, just take the example I gave with the little black dragon before. Even if the false gods are restored to the peak, the country is nothing more than an 'ocean', so what if it covers the whole world? The legendary kingdom of gods, It is as vast as the galaxy in the sky, and there are countless lives in it. That is the real godhead."
As he said that, Ben Xie looked at Chen Rui with more meaning: "Generally speaking, even those descendants of the gods who have the blood of the gods or the fragments of the godhead... that is, the demigods in the true sense cannot achieve a breakthrough. The bottleneck becomes a real god. However, there may be some amazingly talented people who may be able to touch the height that others cannot reach, and thus embark on the real road to becoming a god."
Chen Rui sighed, well, anyway, the description is getting darker and darker, so maybe I am someone.
After "breaking the jar", a certain person's mind became clearer: "I understand that the reason why Michael and those people stole the faith is to use the power of faith of countless believers of light to continuously expand their own kingdom. It is necessary to use "quantitative change" to induce the real "qualitative change" of the pseudo-godhead, so as to covet the road of the gods. As you once proposed, comprehend the origin of creation and the origin of destruction, which is another way, starting directly from the perspective of qualitative change, because creation and Destruction is the most fundamental law of the universe."
"Actually, I didn't come up with this theory," Ben Xie looked directly into Chen Rui's eyes, "and it's not only a theory, some people have personally practiced this road, it can be said that they almost touched the final field at the beginning... And now I'm not sure whether he succeeded or failed."
Chen Rui recalled that when he told Satan this theory, Satan's reaction was that there was an "old friend" behind him. It seems that this old friend is not necessarily a benevolent person in Satan's eyes. It was the person Chen Rui had been misidentified all along.
"I don't want to explain any misunderstandings anymore." Chen Rui shook his head, "If you try to remind someone of something, it is obviously a failure, because it is simply playing the piano against a cow... Well, this word, you can understand it as a pair of the lowest level The monster plays the instrument in an attempt to make it understand the music theory, understand?"
"Understood." Ben Xi was silent for a moment, then suddenly showed a rare smile, and nodded: "The lowest level of Warcraft-lord."
Chen Rui: "..."
