I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 690: The Solution to Obsession

"Can everything be solved?" Mo Ling was a little unconvinced.

"Of course it can be solved. Any obsession can be solved... Obsession, in the final analysis, is desire that cannot be satisfied. The seven emotions and six desires cannot break through the limitations of nature. When things don't go as planned, obsession will naturally arise."

"Birth, aging, sickness, death, failure to obtain what one desires, meeting with enemies and those one hates, separation from loved ones, the five aggregates prevailing. Whatever suffering one experiences, one will have that kind of obsession. Obsession is the 'thought' created by living things in order to defeat the suffering. As long as suffering exists, obsession will exist. As long as the source of suffering is resolved, obsession will no longer exist..."

The man in red seemed happy to discuss this issue with Mo Ling, but just as he was talking about the specific methods of resolving obsessions, harsh music suddenly came from a distance.

After hearing the music, the man in red stopped his story and looked directly in the direction where the music came from.

"It's time to start. Follow me. I'll show you around, and then you'll know how to resolve your obsession..."

Without even waiting for Mo Ling, the man in red ran straight towards the direction where the music came from.

It seemed to be a heavy metal rock song with no rules, with countless noises mixed in, and sometimes mixed with the screams of some creatures...

The sounds of breaking, beating, and wailing... this noisy heavy metal rock became more and more chaotic. The red spots in the air also jumped to the rhythm of the music, gathering into a leaping river, swinging continuously above the city.

After running to the vicinity, the man in red also began to dance to the music. He swayed as he climbed over the low building that was swaying like flames and jumped onto the roof of a house.

The red light kept interweaving and dancing in the air. Mo Ling followed the man in red and slowly flew to the roof.

The man in red looked at Mo Ling and said excitedly, "You can fly?"

Mo Ling nodded and landed beside him.

The man in red looked at Mo Ling for a while, then lost interest and turned to look down.

In the center, surrounded by houses, there is a huge circular "dance floor".

The red light turned into a continuously erupting fountain, splashing in the center of the circular dance floor, rushing high into the sky, circling in the air where the light beams were radiating, and then turned into red raindrops, falling into the pool, creating circles of ripples that swayed with the sound waves.

The dance floor was densely packed with countless indistinguishable creatures, their figures completely blended into the red light, indistinguishable from each other, and their red bodies swayed along with the music. Their footsteps also created ripples on the ground, colliding with the ripples caused by the red raindrops.

Those screams and wails were made by these creatures. There was no rhythm or beauty in them, but they blended together with the crazy rock and roll and became part of the music.

"Life is painful. After ten months in the womb, once you are born, you squeeze through the door of life and fall into the world of mortals. You suffer hunger and cold and are tortured..."

The man in red pointed at a spider-like creature in the middle of the dance floor and began to mutter.

I saw a huge crack in the spider creature's abdomen. Countless small spiders crawled through the crack and crawled onto the dance floor. They bathed in the red raindrops falling on the dance floor and stretched out their new bodies. The birth of life means struggle, but the struggle in the belly has turned into a struggle in the world.

"From one prison to another."

The red light flashed, and the creatures wriggling in the dance floor swayed their huge bodies to the music, and actually stepped directly on the newly born little spiders.

The light spots jumped with the rhythm, and the huge creature walked to another place. Countless red dots like Mars rose from the place where it had just stepped, interweaving with the red raindrops.

The ripples spread, as if nothing had happened...

"If I leave this world, I will no longer have any attachment to it, and I will no longer have to endure the pain of life..."

The music continued to play, and the deafening rhythm ripples vibrated from the center to the surroundings, and even the roof where the two were staying began to shake.

But the man in red sat down cross-legged as if nothing had happened, and continued to chant amid the harsh music... "Aging brings suffering, gray hair gradually appears, steps become unsteady, vitality disappears, and wisdom retreats..."

"The illness is painful, dizzy, broken bones, broken body and mind, dying..."

"Their obsession comes from their nostalgia for their past selves, the younger and healthier selves... But time flies, and the passage of time will leave its mark on every living being."

"Everyone understands this truth, but when it happens to oneself, no matter how powerful a creature was, they will fall into endless despair."

The man in red gently raised his hand and pointed at a huge wolf-like creature on the dance floor.

Although the giant wolf still looked ferocious, its steps were somewhat unsteady.

Not only that, its body is covered with a layer of moss-like black spots, the roots of which seem to have penetrated deeply into its body.

Most of the hair on its body had fallen off, and the remaining hair was very sparse. The exposed skin was covered with black spots. The giant wolf was already dying, but it was still dancing to the music. It could no longer keep up with the rhythm, and its body was extremely stiff.

But the red light did not seem to give up on it. As the red raindrops fell on its wrinkled skin, the light spots gradually gathered around it.

As the harsh sound waves came, the red spots gradually attached to the giant wolf and leaped along with its stiff body.

The black spots on the body stretched out tentacles and climbed up on the giant wolf's already little healthy skin, gradually occupying the giant wolf's entire body.

The tiny black tentacles pierced into the giant wolf's eyes and ears. The giant wolf let out a wail, and pitch-black tentacles grew out of its mouth.

As the giant wolf howled, the rocks in the pool seemed to become even noisier, and the red spots of light became restless. The light beams swept across the giant wolf's body, which was completely covered with black spots, and the alternating red and black outlines became increasingly blurred.

The giant wolf howled again, and the light spots around it rolled up like sparks, spinning around it non-stop, actually raising a storm on the dance floor.

The giant wolf in the storm was shaking strangely, and its head was slowly stretching.

Getting longer and longer...

"Crack!"

A cracking sound merged into the noisy rock.

The giant wolf's neck was unexpectedly torn off, and its head twisted with the music and stretched into the air!

At the bloody neck, only black mycelium was left connecting it, and the mycelium was becoming more and more solid.

The giant wolf seemed to have finally recovered from its illness. Its head turned into a giant snake, dancing in the air and howling towards the sky.

This time, its voice was no longer hoarse, nor was it as sad as before. Instead, it seemed as if it had been reborn. The wolf howl tore through the sky and rushed into the sky along the rotating light spots.

The red light spot that completed its mission emerged from between the black spots and flew into the sky. The red light gathered in the air to form a bright moon, which was so red that it was creepy. The snakes and wolves twisted and coiled in it, and the beautiful body that had been reborn was reflected in the mirror-like dance floor.

The black body stood on the red moon in the pool, ripples spread out, and the harsh music made the black spots on its body dance wildly.

This time, it finally kept up with the rhythm of the music...
