Ye Zan used a small soul separation technique to let the indigenous heroes of this world know that the spirit and the body can be separated, and that there is a 'soul' in the human body. Subsequently, the indigenous heroes who were extremely interested in this matter made requests to Ye Zan one after another, and they all experienced the feeling of out-of-body souls.
"The existence of this soul has indeed refreshed our knowledge, but what does it have to do with the most fundamental question you mentioned?" The indigenous hero's curiosity was satisfied after both experienced souls out of the body. They turned their attention back to the issue brought by Ye Zan about the source of world power.
After all, these indigenous heroes have only just learned about the existence of "souls", let alone conducted many targeted studies. Therefore, they are still unable to think of more related issues based on this "soul", and naturally they cannot imagine any connection with Ye Zan's issue.
And Ye Zan let the indigenous heroes know the existence of "soul", and he didn't expect everyone to understand everything instantly, just to set the stage.
Ye Zan went on to popularize some common sense about the soul in the outside world to the indigenous heroes, saying: "In the outside world, after a person dies, the soul will leave the body, or gradually dissipate, or enter a special world, where The opportunity for reincarnation. That special world is called the underworld, and the one who manages the underworld is called the underworld.”
After the collapse of heaven and earth, the underworld was actually abandoned. Why didn't the order of yin and yang in various realms completely collapse? It is because the Underworld is just a "management agency", a means for the Immortal Court to bring Nether under its jurisdiction, rather than the Underworld opening up Nether.
Therefore, fundamentally speaking, whether there is an underworld or not will not have much impact on the underworld and the entire world. What is the function of the underworld? Examine the good and evil of people to determine what family you will be reincarnated into. Will you enjoy all the glory and wealth in the next life, will you be a cow or a horse for others, or will you really just be a beast
In fact, everyone knows a saying, "Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs." The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth actually does not care about good or evil, nor does it punish evil and promote good. So, who cares about the good and evil of people? There is such a word "enlightenment", and this word often appears in the mouths of "rulers". To put it bluntly, it means using domination.
What is goodness? What is evil
The most basic "goodness" is to abide by the rules and not infringe on the rights of others. Therefore, "good" people often take advantage of rule and are an important part of maintaining the stability and harmony of a country. "Evil", on the other hand, willfully breaks the rules and infringes on the rights and interests of others, which will have a destructive effect on harmony and stability. Naturally, it is not what the ruler is happy to see.
Therefore, no matter who is the ruler, as long as he wants to maintain his dominance, even if he is completely "evil", he must still adhere to the principle of "punishing evil and promoting good".
This is the reason why there is an underworld in the monastic world, and why reincarnation is determined by good and evil. And without the underworld, there is no mechanism to determine people's good and evil, but it will not have any impact on this world.
"So, what if there is no Netherworld?" The Sun King asked Ye Zan curiously. In fact, after hearing what Ye Zan said, he had already made some guesses. However, the guess is just a guess after all, and you still have to get confirmation from Ye Zan.
"If there is no netherworld, the soul will stay in the Yang world, which is the world where we live normally. Most of the souls will completely dissipate in a short period of time, but some will become 'ghosts' due to various reasons. So. , If there is no place like Netherworld in your world, there should be many ghosts wandering around in the world now. Especially, judging from your performance just now, it seems unlikely that you have any experience in dealing with ghosts. "Follow the Sun King. question, Ye Zan further talked about the existence of ghosts.
Of course, Ye Zan's statement is not absolute. Even if there is a netherworld, ghosts will not stay in the earth. In the world of monasticism, there are many resentful souls and ghosts in the Yang world. Even in the era of seducers from the underworld, there are still fish that slip through the net.
But this world seems a bit strange. Let's not talk about whether there is a netherworld. Anyway, Ye Zan has never seen a ghost until now. You must know that Ye Zan's "seeing" does not simply refer to seeing with his own eyes, but also includes the scanning and exploration of the world by detection equipment.
Therefore, Ye Zan can almost say with certainty that there is really no ghost in the "yang world" of this world.
Originally, Ye Zan thought that this world was different from the outside after all. Maybe there was some mechanism in the laws of heaven and earth that allowed the souls of people in this world to dissipate instantly after death. However, he has also seen dead people in this world. He has clearly seen people die in front of his eyes, but he still can't find any trace of ghosts.
Until now, Ye Zan found the records about the nightmare incident from the Supreme Council's documents. In fact, in the record of this event, what is really important is not how many people died in the dream, but the dream those people had. What really matters is not that everyone has the same dream, but what that dream shows.
"You mean, there have never been ghosts in our world, so there should be a ghost-like space that accommodates or handles the souls of people after they die?" Everyone present is not stupid, they are all like this Even though it was the first time for the world's top expert to hear about souls and ghosts, he still easily understood what Ye Zan meant.
Ye Zan nodded, projected an image in mid-air, and said to everyone: "I drew this picture based on the description of the dream by the survivors in the data. Combined with the information I mentioned before, I I have a bold guess about this. Maybe this is the netherworld of your world, and it is also the source of the world’s power that I am looking for.”
"Are you saying that the netherworld of our world exists in everyone's dreams?" Lagoris asked with some confusion.
"No, according to my guess, dreams should be just a passage leading to the Netherworld. And the human soul, after death, enters the Netherworld through this passage. This also explains why, in your Yang world, there are always No ghosts have appeared." Ye Zan concluded and expressed some of his conjectures.
In Ye Zan's conjecture, those people in the nightmare incident actually went to the Netherworld through dreams, just like all other people who died in this world. However, some accidents may have occurred, causing some of them to unexpectedly "return to the sun", and their souls returned to the physical body from the netherworld. As a result, these people came back to life and became "survivors". After telling what they saw in their dreams, they created the illusion that many people had the same dream.
Of course, these are just Ye Zan's conjectures, and there is no real strong evidence. However, other than this matter, Ye Zan could not find any more reliable information than this from the Supreme Council's information. It's like solving a problem using the elimination method. I don't know if this answer is right, but I know that the other answers are wrong, so this answer can only be right.
"Entering the Netherworld through dreams, this sounds... a bit... hard to accept!" After all, it was the first time for those indigenous heroes to hear about these things, and they had not seen Ye Zan provide real evidence. Naturally, It is inevitable to have some doubts about this.
"Moreover, even if everything is as you said, do we all... commit suicide and then follow you to that netherworld? This is too... ridiculous." There are also indigenous heroes who have thought about the content of cooperation with Ye Zan, let alone There is no way to accept these things.
It's really ridiculous. If the information is 100% certain, then "suicide" is not unacceptable, of course, provided that you can survive. The problem now is that there is no way to prove whether the information is true or false, and it is not certain whether one can survive after committing suicide. Who would be willing to take this risk? Some people may even wonder if Ye Zan and his friends are playing a conspiracy just to trick them, the natives, into dying.
Hearing the doubts of the indigenous heroes, Ye Zan couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said: "You guys are overthinking. Who said that you have to commit suicide to go to the Netherworld?"
"Ah, isn't it? Didn't you say that the Netherworld is where the souls go after death?" Someone immediately asked with a puzzled look on their face.
"Have you forgotten that I just said that dreams are the passage into the netherworld?" Then, Ye Zan pointed to the forest next to him, looked at the two people who had experienced the power of dreams before, and said, "And I This companion happens to be able to control the power of dreams."
"What you mean is that he can open a passage to the Netherworld, and we can go to the Netherworld through that passage without committing suicide!" The indigenous heroes also understood what Ye Zan meant at this time. In addition to suddenly realizing After that, I couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Yes, that's what I mean, and it doesn't necessarily mean that all of us have to go there. We still need to explore the situation first to see how much power is needed to cooperate with me to control the source of the world's power. In addition, it's not too much to say It sounds good, but all of this is just speculation after all, and there may not really be the source of the world's power in the netherworld." Ye Zan said frankly, not making random promises regardless of the facts in order to convince everyone.
Ye Zan's honest attitude is undoubtedly a plus in the eyes of these indigenous heroes. These people are indigenous people, but they are not fools. They are all old monsters who have lived for tens of thousands of years. Who doesn't know that the more certain they are, the more suspicious they are. When a person swears something to you, he is often not trustworthy. I just hugged, touched, and rubbed outside. How many of them did what they said
"Well, since there are no other clues, let's talk about what you plan to do next." The Sun King asked Ye Zan for the specific plan on behalf of the indigenous heroes.
"My plan is this. First of all, I have to confirm some of my previous guesses, such as whether the dream is a passage or whether it leads to the netherworld. Of course, only the people on my side can do this. After confirming some things, We still need to investigate first and estimate the risks so that we can make corresponding preparations. At this step, if you are interested, you can participate, and you can feel more at ease." Ye Zan simply stated his plan. .
To put it bluntly, this is a total of three steps, the first step is to open the Netherworld, the second step is to detect the Netherworld, and the third step is to officially start taking action. Although the plan is simple, based on the current situation, it can only go so far. When it comes to a more detailed plan, we still have to go to the second step. After truly investigating the situation in Netherworld, we can formulate further plans.
The Sun King thought for a while and didn't think there was any trap inside, so he nodded and said, "Well, that's it. According to what you said, I have no objection."
The Sun King had no objection, and neither did the other indigenous heroes, and Ye Zan's plan was quickly unanimously approved. Anyway, the first two steps are almost all done by Ye Zan. They only choose whether to participate in the second step. If the first step goes smoothly, it will actually prove Ye Zan's guess to a certain extent, and the indigenous heroes will not have to worry.
Ye Zan didn't want to waste any more time. After negotiating everything with the indigenous heroes, he immediately started to take the first step of the plan. Of course, at this time, there is no need for everyone to gather together like this. So Ye Zan and Lin Mumu came to a room arranged by the Queen of the Night.
"Brother Ye, is it really possible to enter the netherworld from a dream?" When he started to cast the spell, Lin Mumu asked Ye Zan worriedly.
"There is only this clue now. You will know after you try it." Ye Zan was quite confident, and told Lin Mumu another guess of his, saying: "Besides, I think that the Netherworld is probably... It has something to do with the head of the demon outside, after all, it involves the spiritual level.”
"So, it's really possible." Lin Mumu nodded in agreement.
Although, according to the external situation, the head and body of the demon outside the world are separated, that is only a separation on the material level, or a superficial separation. From a power perspective, the remaining power of the demon outside cannot be divided as neatly as the body, and must be involved with each other.
The head of the demon outside the sky is where the brain is from a scientific level, and where the soul is born and resides from a metaphysical level. Although, the remnant soul of the evil demon from outside the world was attached to the heart core and was taken away by the Earthly Immortal Taoist Ancestor. But just like ascetics have Yuanying and Yuanshen, the brain still has the function and meaning of existence of the brain, and it is not simply replaced.
