Ye Zan pointed out two ways to the indigenous heroes, one is to pass the test to free themselves from the bondage, and the other is to wait for his help in the future. And of these two options, it's hard to say which one is more beneficial to him. He also omitted methods such as inducement and let the indigenous heroes make their own choices.
Let’s talk about the first path first. The indigenous heroes rely on their own strength and pass the test to escape the shackles of the small world. Relatively speaking, they are indeed freer, but they are by no means truly immune to being controlled by others. You must know that the power they use comes from this small world, and the outside world is the world of monasticism.
Perhaps it can be said that the indigenous heroes who left the small world are like a battery that can only be recharged here. In their monastic world, due to differences in voltage, sockets, etc., there is nowhere to replenish the power consumed. Therefore, when they consume to a certain extent, they can only return to Ye Zan, who has collected the small world, to "recharge". Doesn't this count as being controlled by others
As for the second way, not to mention, after Ye Zan took over the small world, he became the master of the world. And the remaining indigenous heroes, even with the help of Ye Zan, have the ability to get out of the small world, they still cannot break this connection. At the beginning, Ye Zan rushed all the way to the underworld just to avoid such an end for himself.
Of course, relatively speaking, the first path may still be a freer choice for the indigenous heroes. The laws of power in them are not allowed in the world of monasticism, but in the world of demons outside the world, there will be no problem of being unable to charge. But there is another problem here, that is, they can have the opportunity to go to the outer world. Don't forget, the gateway to the outer world is indirectly controlled by Ye Zan.
It is for these reasons that Ye Zan does not have to consider how the choices of these indigenous heroes will be more beneficial to him.
Speaking of those indigenous heroes who chose to face the test, they had already swallowed the divinity distributed by Ye Zan without hesitation. Or to be more precise, it can't be regarded as swallowed. After entering their mouths, the divinity actually "floated" to the top of their heads.
Since the radiance of the divinity cannot be isolated, everyone can even clearly see the process of the divinity "floating" from the mouth to the top of the head.
Next, the indigenous heroes who had swallowed the divinity stood there as if they could not help but close their eyes, and could no longer see any other changes. Obviously, what they have to do next is to refine or fuse those divinities, and use the power of divinities to strengthen their souls until they activate the power of desire in this world.
In fact, in Ye Zan's view, the whole process is a bit like a monk's tribulation, especially the so-called inner demon tribulation.
"Maybe we can help them a little!" Ye Zan thought about the inner demon tribulation, and thought of some ways to help overcome the tribulation. However, since he couldn't determine whether there was a deeper difference between the two, he could only choose some of the softest methods.
"Brother Ye, what do you want to do?" Lin Mumu came closer and asked after hearing Ye Zan's words.
"Let's increase their success rate somewhat." Ye Zan said while touching his chin.
Although it is the choice of the indigenous heroes to stand the test, and they must pass it themselves. But this is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Ye Zan to sell favors. Don't even worry about whether what you do here is useful or not, the other party will have to accept his love in the end.
Lin Mumu looked at the indigenous heroes who had "entered trance", then turned back to look at Ye Zan, with a knowing expression on his face, and said: "So, where are the others? Do you want my sister and I to do it right now?" Are they sending it back?"
The other people Lin Mumu was talking about were naturally the indigenous heroes who did not dare to accept the test. Those indigenous heroes have to wait for Ye Zan to take over the small world, and then leave with Ye Zan's "help". Therefore, it is actually not necessary for those people to stay here now.
Ye Zan looked at the space, nodded and said, "Well, there shouldn't be anything we need their help with next."
We have reached this point, in the spiritual space of the demons outside the world, and have seen the most essential aspect of the spiritual space. It is basically impossible for any "big BOSS" to appear again. What's more, even if there is something else, Ye Zan's side is not completely unable to compete. After all, there are still indigenous heroes who have been tested here.
"Okay, I'll talk to them and let them all leave here first." After hearing Ye Zan's words, Lin Mumu turned around to find the indigenous heroes.
Although, those indigenous heroes who dare not accept the test are still very curious about the test of their companions. However, after knowing that this test was a spiritual activity, they also knew that they would not be able to see anything while waiting nearby. So, after hearing Lin Mumu come over and say that he wanted to send them away, everyone didn't insist too much.
As for whether Ye Zan would do something bad to these companions after he and others left, these indigenous heroes were not too worried. After all, Ye Zan even gave away his divinity and showed enough sincerity along the way, so there would be no conspiracy.
This is not blind trust. These indigenous heroes are not fools. As long as they analyze the pros and cons of all parties, they can also infer whether Ye Zan is worthy of trust. Why did Ye Zan want to harm those people? Wouldn't it be better to harm them than to keep them alive? Many things are not about trust or distrust. In the final analysis, it is a matter of gain and loss.
Lin Mumu and Lin Miaomiao, two siblings, led the indigenous heroes who did not dare to accept the test to the passage connecting the netherworld and the dream world. Although the Netherworld has changed its appearance, the passage has not been affected much, including the dream world on the other side of the passage.
After the Lin family siblings and other indigenous heroes left, Qi Qianjun, who stayed with Ye Zan, came to Ye Zan and asked: "Your Majesty, is there anything I need my disciples to do?"
Qi Qianjun's current mentality is actually quite depressed, and he even feels quite useless. From the moment he entered the Netherworld to now, he had exerted no effort at all, just following him all the way like a tourist. You know, although the Lin family siblings didn't do much, they were able to get in here precisely because of the power of their dreams.
Of course, Qi Qianjun didn't mean to compare, he just felt a little ashamed of his "inaction".
"It's true. I have some materials here. Let's set up a magic circle around these people to focus and purify their hearts." Ye Zan said as he sacrificed the jade ball and released various kinds of weapons from the space of the jade ball. Materials for laying out the array.
Seeing that he had something to do, Qi Qianjun immediately became energetic and hurriedly went forward to collect the materials and began to arrange the magic circle according to Ye Zan's instructions.
Ye Zan has made some changes to this magic circle that focuses the mind and purifies the mind, removing some of the things that may be more intense, such as those that forcibly erase distracting thoughts, or those that enhance certain thoughts, etc. After all, he didn't quite understand what the tests faced by the indigenous heroes were like. If he accidentally helped them, he would be in trouble.
In fact, strictly speaking, Ye Zan's fundamental principle in setting up formations is "not seeking merit, but seeking no faults." To put it bluntly, I don't expect this magic circle to have much effect, as long as it doesn't have any side effects. The real function of the magic circle is not to help the indigenous heroes pass the test, but to see what Ye Zan has done for them after they pass the test.
Although there are only two people, Ye Zan and Qi Qianjun, both of them have the cultivation level of Yuanshen Realm. It is not a big deal to arrange a simplified and improved magic circle. Therefore, when the Lin family siblings returned, they had already arranged the magic circle on the ground around the indigenous heroes and activated the magic circle.
"Brother Ye, has their test begun?" Lin Mumu looked at the indigenous heroes in the formation, and suddenly found that the divinity in someone's forehead had disappeared, and turned to Ye Zan beside him and asked.
"Well, after their souls and divinity are fused, it's time to really face the test." Ye Zan nodded, with a look of curiosity and expectation on his face.
After all, those indigenous heroes have all been at the top of the small world for a long time. It can basically be said that there is no distinction between superior and inferior. Therefore, there is not much difference in the speed of their integration of divinity. After the first person succeeded, the others also successively completely integrated the divinity they had swallowed.
According to Ye Zan's inference, after those indigenous heroes merged with divinity, they would have to compete with the corresponding power of desire. It is like a person's soul, which was originally divided into two parts, one part is constantly "reincarnated", and the other part is silent in the netherworld. But now, when these two people come together, everyone wants to gain the final dominance.
It's a pity that outsiders like Ye Zan can't see that kind of spiritual confrontation. All they see are people standing there like statues.
"I don't know how many people will pass the test in the end." Lin Mumu looked at those people with some emotion.
"Then it depends on their own luck." Ye Zan also said with great expectation.
From the bottom of his heart, Ye Zan already regards these indigenous heroes as his "harvest" this time. Not only what you put in your pocket can be called a gain, but getting such a group of help is also a huge gain. You know, these people all have Dharma-level strength. In today's monastic world, they are definitely a group of qualified thugs.
Therefore, in Ye Zan's heart, the best of these indigenous heroes should not be lost.
Looking at the indigenous heroes, after they have merged with divinity, they are still standing there one by one, even without any expression on their faces. Simply looking at this appearance, it seems as if these people have left their bodies and all that is left here are their bodies. And this also shows that at this time, their souls may have begun to face the test at a deeper level.
After another period of time, about ten minutes, Lin Mumu suddenly exclaimed: "No, Brother Ye, look, that Hartleon seems to be dead!"
Of course, Ye Zan had been watching from the side, and when Lin Mumu called out this sentence, he had already noticed the changes in Hatteren. I saw that Hartleon, at this time, there was faint energy similar to flames in the seven orifices on his head, which was constantly emerging and shrinking.
"This... is just burning with desire!" Ye Zan was helpless. Seeing such a thing happening, he really couldn't do anything to help. Although Hartleon's previous robbery of divinity made him somewhat unhappy emotionally, it was not enough to make him gloat at this time.
“It really is…” Lin Mumu shook his head slightly, looking a little regretful, but before he could say anything else, he saw the same situation happening on the other side.
There were a total of eight indigenous heroes left here to undergo the test, and as Hatteren became "burnt with desire", four more encountered the same trouble. Wisps of flames continued to come out of their seven orifices, as if the gas vents of the gas tanks were lit, and the fire was obviously growing.
As a result, five of the eight people were "burned with desire", leaving only three people: Bartley, the Sun King, Flenna, the Queen of the Night, and Ignatz, the Deathly Scythe. It seemed that the situation was relatively stable. Only three of the eight Dharma-level experts passed the test in the end. This was really a huge loss for Ye Zan, who regarded them as "harvests."
However, this was just the beginning. In less than a few minutes, small flames of "burning with desire" began to appear in the eyes, ears, mouth and nose of the Queen of the Night, Flenna.
"Brother Ye, there won't be anyone who passes the test in the end!" Seeing this situation, Lin Mumu looked at Ye Zan with regret.
"I'll adjust the magic circle and see if I can help them some!" Ye Zan was really reluctant to lose such a group of thugs, and quickly made magic tricks to activate the magic circle on the ground.
Under Ye Zan's urging, the magic circle, which had no merit, soon lit up with a more dazzling light, almost covering all the indigenous heroes in it. Of course, with Ye Zan's ability, they could still clearly see the situation of the indigenous heroes through the obstruction of the light. However, what they saw was not reassuring. As the magic circle exerts its power, the problems of the indigenous heroes seem to become more serious.
"Brother Ye, it seems like you're not helping!" Lin Mumu said, somewhat dumbfounded.
Looking at the eight people who were all angry, Ye Zan also frowned, not knowing that he was not helping. At this moment, he suddenly thought of something. Since the souls of the indigenous people came from the power of desire, maybe the souls were the real desires.
