The peerless black hand that covers the sky

Chapter 1044 Think of your family! Think of your ancestors!
The gods, radiant and holy, are the embodiment of the faith of all beings, transcending all.

However, it's best if it doesn't die, otherwise, after its death, a divine thought will be born, which is a manifestation of its evil side in life, turning it into an extremely evil demon!

The more virtuous a person is in life, the more noble their achievements, and the more genuinely loved and revered they are by all living beings, the more evil their divine thoughts will become after death.

However, if touched, the divine will undergo an astonishing transformation, sublimating from the most evil and wicked, reflecting the Dao fruit before birth, and reappearing that person from back then, although only for a moment, it will be gone like a shooting star.

This subtle and bizarre transformation was too extreme, causing many cultivators to be wary, feeling that there might be some "dirty things" on this path.

However, those who want to explore further cannot find a clear answer. Even immortal kings and Dao ancestors can only know the result but not the reason... Instinctively feeling that they cannot afford to offend them, they can only selectively avoid them. As a result, few people travel and explore this path.

—The water is too deep, there's nothing we can do.

In fact, their feeling was not wrong. The water here is really deep, deep enough to drown an unaware immortal emperor!

Because this resonates with a part of the experience of an ultimate being, both before and after death!
He was once the supreme deity, revered by all living beings, whose brilliance reached its zenith.

After his death, his power, which was connected to spirits, evolved into an extremely evil and wicked demon, which sacrificed itself upon the world!
However, once He returns to His true nature and a bit of His true self reappears, all evil and wickedness will lie dormant and submit to Him!

This ultimate being opened up the cycle of reincarnation and transcended life and death... It is precisely because of this that even the beings who later embarked on the path of gathering the thoughts of all living beings, after death, gathered the thoughts of the gods, and their true spirits had long since been reborn in some heaven or in countless other realms.

But when the thoughts of a deity in a certain lifetime reach their ultimate sublimation, and are freed and awakened from evil thoughts, they will resonate with and summon the true spirit of the past. No matter where they are now, no matter where they are today, they will cross the vast sky and be reassembled like a dream or a bubble, the original soup turning into the original food, truly reproducing that lifetime!
Unexpected, reasonable!
Reincarnation opened a back door, or perhaps it was a favor, a preference for noble virtues such as sacrifice and dedication, which protected the pollen particles from eternal destruction and allowed a past life to be reborn.

Thus, a miracle was created in an instant: a being that had been dead for hundreds of thousands of years reappeared, possessing the Dao fruit and the consciousness of self, as if a life that had abruptly ended was being continued!

However, it was ultimately done through back channels. The deceased is gone, reincarnated, and that wisp of true spirit has already found a new home. Say goodbye to the past life, and don't contact them again, lest there be misunderstandings in this "life".

Showing up is fine, but making an appearance is enough. A fleeting moment of brilliance, a brief bloom, ultimately bringing this past life to a close.

This is the fundamental secret of the path of faith and the power of thought of deities!
In the past, few people knew its essence.

But in this era, many truths have come to light, and mysteries can no longer obscure our vision.

Divine thoughts, reincarnation seals, the four outposts, pollen particles, the source of reincarnation, etc... are either products of beings that are not dead and stiff, which are above the sacrificial path, or they are tools created to explore transcendence.

"Transcending Calamity..." the Divine Emperor murmured, "The divine thought is transcending calamity!"

"The reason lies in transcendence, in this realm that transcends the sacrificial path... its very existence explains the mystery of that level."

"Even if this could be considered an unintentional act by that being, merely a natural effect... if we can utilize it, it's not impossible for us to aspire to transcendence!"

The God Emperor's words moved even the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King; he was truly moved.

It seems...it looks pretty much like that?
“Divine thoughts are formed by death, and revived and awakened in the cycle of reincarnation, like a shooting star that flashes across the sky and disappears in an instant…” At this moment, the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King understood, “Therefore, you will choose me…”

"You... want to apply this model in a specific and subtle way to all living beings, to their peculiar state of being born and dying in the course of time?"

He roughly understood it.

—Let all living beings nurture their own divine thoughts!

—No need to worship gods, you are a god yourself!

—The “I” who died in the “past” is like a god who has fallen, and it is fitting that divine thoughts should be born!
—And such “I” is astronomical in number, so the fallen gods are like stars in the sky, and the divine thoughts born are massive, like a ruin of gods, on which the most evil and wicked resentment of the gods lingers!

Ultimately, the resentment was purified, and a bright light appeared, transforming the ruins of the gods into a divine kingdom!

The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King sorted out his thoughts, his eyelids starting to twitch wildly. He looked at Willow God with a complex expression, hesitant to speak, yet his emotions were so similar to those he felt when he was nearing the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, watching the Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit determined to cross the Boundary Sea and fight his way to the other shore to directly attack the strange and ominous lair.
"Hey sis, stop this!"

Is this a game you can handle?!

He carefully chose his words and tentatively began, "Old friend, your plan is excellent... However, I have a few questions, and I wonder if you could answer them?"

"Please speak." Liu Shen nodded.

"If we are to create gods, then all living beings themselves are gods. So... where does the power of thought come from?" asked the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King.

He also benefited from the power of the thoughts of all living beings. When he was a celestial king, he built temples, created statues, and guided all living beings to make offerings and worship.

The power of sentient beings' thoughts is extraordinary and wondrous, capable of nourishing the primordial spirit of immortal kings and consolidating their Dao fruits... Although the immortal kings are wary of the unknown hidden dangers deep within this path, it is not difficult for them to gain some benefit.

Therefore, the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King was well aware that even the most ordinary creation of a god required a considerable amount of faith and spiritual power, and it might take millions of people to create just one.

"Could it be that many hands make light work, and the efforts of millions of people contribute to the creation of one person, making that person a god... As a god, one is naturally powerful, and the quality of the power of thought of the strong is higher. One person can be equivalent to millions of people, giving back to the weak and achieving a positive cycle?"

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King speculated: "First become a god, then influence those who become gods later?"

In an instant, the eternal sky seemed to vanish in this place, as if shaken by these words.

"As those who have become gods know..." the God-Emperor said leisurely, "How can polytheism compare to the power of life and death held by the one true god in monotheism, which is far more enticing?"

"The first thing those who get on the bus do is shut down the chances for those who get on later... After all, no one ever thinks they have too much faith and compassion..."

"Ah...haha..." The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King chuckled dryly, "So, you're not choosing this method? Or are you going to subsidize it yourselves by investing heavily?"

"If the Ancestral Spirit does this, I might believe her... but what about you, God Emperor!"

He chuckled twice, his expression meaningful.

"Six Paths!" The God Emperor frowned and said seriously, "You, a Celestial Emperor, aren't you being a little too disrespectful to me?!"

"Now, we address each other as fellow Daoists... In the past, you would have called me 'senior'!"

"..." The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King's lips twitched.

At that moment, he suddenly understood completely... what it felt like to be worse off than a dog. Even the God Emperor could act arrogantly in front of him, and he was helpless... If it were that big black dog...

"Where am I not a good person?" The God Emperor sighed deeply, lamenting how many people had misunderstood him!

"That's all..."

Thinking about what he had done when he was in the Bitter Leaf Village, the God Emperor changed the subject with a slightly guilty conscience, "Six Paths, your worries are unnecessary."

"Perhaps it's because you've spent too much time with Ye... the Heavenly Emperor, and been influenced by his universal enemy mentality. Your path to growth is filled with either conflicts between friend and foe or differences in stance!"

"The reality is that we must value cooperation and the power of 'love'!"

"In this regard, there are detailed records in the *Great Freedom Heavenly Technique*, which documents the insights and experiences of three supreme beings: the Demon Ancestor, the Demon Emperor, and the Great Freedom Dao Lord," the Divine Emperor said earnestly. "No one should ever think that they have nothing..."

"When you're feeling down and tired, think of your family. Those expectant eyes are enough to lift your spirits!"

"When you're exhausted, think of your ancestors. Those deep-buried coffins are enough to give you a boost!"

"The Demon Ancestor spreads his teachings, filling countless books with false doctrines, but the true scripture is only a single page... Let our ancestors suffer a little more, and we will believe in the wisdom of future generations!"

"Who says that all living beings have nothing? In their very essence lies the imprint of their ancestors throughout history; they are never fighting alone!"

"Even if a Holy Spirit is born of nature, without a father or a mother... that doesn't matter. The Demon Emperor exemplifies the law by his own body. He created a vast harem, had relations with thirty million women, and single-handedly created thirty million races. Every descendant of these races can be considered his believer and can offer a portion of his spiritual power!"

"If all else fails, I won't suffer for my ancestors, and I don't have a partner or be able to have offspring... It doesn't matter!"

"When it comes to life, you have to be tough on yourself sometimes!"

"Although the ultimate Mother-Child River has been sublimated and exists alongside countless ages, inseparable from them... the process of deduction and creation was left behind by the Demon Ancestor, so it's not difficult to create a lesser Mother-Child River..."

"If you want a child, just go to the river, scoop up a spoonful, and gulp it down your throat. And the child... won't you have one?"

"Once you have children, you'll have believers... As long as you're ruthless enough to yourself, you can have a billion or eight hundred million offspring, and then you'll have a divine kingdom, right?"

"The God Emperor said."

"Gulp!" The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King swallowed hard.

He felt... that the God Emperor was far too extreme!
At the same time, he was horrified to discover that... although, with Ye Tiandi's ultimate sublimation, the Bitter Leaf Sect was now merely a name, and unless the Demon Ancestor personally intervened, it could no longer torment Ye Fan; its historical mission had ended.

However, that mad spirit and ideology seem to have been completely preserved, resonating endlessly in this era!

He couldn't help but turn his gaze to Liu Shen, looking hopefully at his old friend, hoping that He could make a statement and turn the tide.

However, Liu Shen looked at him with her bright eyes, her gaze filled with an air of self-righteousness and entitlement.

"Snapped!"

The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King slapped his forehead and sighed, "I shouldn't have had any expectations..."

After all, humans are born of human mothers, and demons are born of demon mothers, so... how did willow trees come into being?

Two methods!

They can either reproduce by combining yin and yang to form seeds, or they can simply propagate by cuttings, growing from a single willow tree into a forest!
They don't have any concerns about that at all.

believer?

Just pluck a bunch of willow branches from yourself, rely on your own efforts, and they will grow into a group of new members of the same kind the following year. They will regard Him as their mother and God, and be the most perfect believers!
"Alright, alright, even if your method works, bypassing the initial accumulation for creating gods..." The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King took a deep breath, "All living beings are gods, yet they died in the 'past,' creating countless divine thoughts for themselves..."

"And then what? Is it of any great use?" The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King shook his head. "In the past, the extraordinary ability of deities lay in their capacity to reclaim their previous life's Dao Fruit, creating a miracle of life and death reincarnation..."

“Right now, you are very powerful, very powerful, and you have directly achieved mass production... However, the divine will is limited by the achievements of the ‘previous life’. If you were a waste in your previous life, the Dao fruit you retrieved will also be a waste. Even if a million or ten million wastes are gathered together, they are still wastes!”

He pointed out the most fatal flaw.

In the past, reincarnation meant crossing different "lifetimes": the past life, the present life, and the next life.

Today, despite the countless years that separate us, we are all gathered in the same world, and it is difficult for us to have much disagreement!
Whether the Dao Fruit is strong or not is another matter, but the similarity is real, and it is difficult to achieve any incredible pioneering effect.

"That's not how it works!" the Divine Emperor said with a smile. "People always judge heroes by their success or failure. Whether someone is successful or not depends on various standards of evaluation."

"But... how much difference does it make to the only great principle that governs the world, the human way?"

"Unless one can reach a height that transcends the sacrificial path and transcends it, only then can one be truly regarded by the supreme Dao... Otherwise, even if we are sacrificial practitioners, we have nothing to be proud of."

"Heaven and earth have evolved into all living beings, and all living beings have enriched heaven and earth... In this process, the mystery of humanity is revealed."

"From a human perspective, does He care about your level of cultivation or your strength?"

"Will not!"

The God Emperor chuckled, "Just like the progenitor of the bizarre things to the consciousness of the plateau, they could create them in batches if they wanted to... but they were nothing more than puppets of power!"

"Only those who are most brilliant, independent, and authentically human deserve to be looked up to."

"We are now providing opportunities for all beings, allowing their selves to be stirred and transformed in the process of countless sublimations of divine thoughts... This is truly beneficial to heaven and earth, to humanity, and to all beings!"

The Divine Emperor spoke earnestly.

"I understand!" The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King was horrified. "What you truly care about is not the divine thoughts of sentient beings, but the god who wants to create humanity... Waaah!"

Before the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King could finish speaking, the God Emperor pounced on him and covered his mouth!
