I am GSD, a sword that explodes stars

Chapter 379 Faith and Will are a Kind of Power

After discussion, Alvin and Karon selected hundreds of ghosts and gods that met the requirements.

Alvin called all the one hundred ghosts and gods over and explained what they needed to do.

Finally, Alvin granted them the ability to come to this world and actively contact their respective counterparts.

Normally speaking, ghosts and gods from different dimensions can only enter the real underworld when they become strong enough.

In this way, you can become one with these ghosts and gods, helping yourself to become stronger.

"Except for the eight great demons, the other ninety-two were carefully selected by Kalon and I."

"Except that Jig has to make the first move."

"You all need to step into the Phantom Tower of the Underworld and break through as soon as possible to become one of the Transcendents."

"The purpose of this action is to allow the glory and great name of the underworld to resound in the world once again."

"Caron and I have already dealt with all the concerns and obstacles you have in mind."

"So I don't want to hear reports that you can't do it or that you failed. Do you understand?"

Ivan sat on the throne of the underworld. The aura released by the shadow of the ghost behind him was enough to make all the ghosts and gods crawl and tremble. His voice was also extremely domineering, leaving these ghosts and gods no chance to consider whether to accept it.

"We have understood and will follow our king's orders."

When Jiger heard that he was to actively spread the legacy of ghosts and gods in the world, he knelt on one knee without hesitation and accepted the task.

He was undoubtedly very supportive of this move, but he did have some concerns in his heart.

Because those present are all ghosts and gods with extensive experience.

According to the previous rules and order, ghosts and gods are not allowed to stay in the world for too long.

However, the King of the Underworld and the Lord of the Underworld have already announced that the obstacles have been cleared, so Jiger naturally has no worries and is fully confident that he can complete this task.

Upon seeing this, other ghosts and gods immediately followed suit, some kneeling on the ground, some crawling on the ground, proclaiming the name of the King of the Underworld.

"Jig, you guys go first."

"Once you have completed the arrangements, you can return to the underworld and then step into the Phantom Tower of the Underworld."

"This time, the opening time of the Phantom Tower of the Underworld will last for a long time, until the next cosmic war."

"I don't ask much of you, only two. One is to leave a legacy and complete the mission, and the second is to seize the time to become stronger."

"Because when the war comes, I will lead you to meet the enemy."

When Alvin issued the mission, he also revealed the news that a war was approaching.

The nine great ghosts and gods had known about this matter for a long time, so they did not react too much.

However, the other ninety-two ghosts and gods below couldn't help but tremble in their hearts when they heard that the war was approaching, and they were filled with a surge of fighting spirit.

Among the great forces in the endless dimension, the underworld has always acted in a low-key manner because it cannot descend into the world at will.

After most ghosts and gods entered the underworld, most of them never even left the underworld.

So each of them was extremely eager to step out of the underworld.

Now that the King of the Underworld has personally announced that the war is approaching, fighting along with them means that they will be given the opportunity to descend into the world and fight the enemy. This is not a mission but a gift.

"Thank you for your gift, my king!"

All the ghosts and gods shouted in unison upon hearing this.

"Go ahead. I'm going to start setting up the Phantom Tower of the Underworld."

Alvin felt the excitement of the ghosts and gods and nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Ivan's underworld rules, ghost rules, soul rules, and time laws emerged.

"The Phantom Tower of the Underworld will open in a month."

"This time the number of floors in the tower has been increased from 100 to 1,000."

"So that you can improve better."

"Everyone can prepare to make it through the higher levels."

"Normally, Karon and I may not be able to see too many ghosts and gods, so we can't give you a chance."

"But through the Phantom Tower of the Underworld, you just need to try your best to climb up."

"Not only can you declare your abilities to me and Kalon, but you will also be given more opportunities and receive more rewards."

"Before, you lagged behind some guys in strength and status because of a lack of resources or opportunities."

“But this time, as long as you can make it through the higher levels of the tower and create your own glory, you may even be able to turn from a ghost to a ghost with real status, or even a ghost with a reputation, and trample your previously invincible enemy under your feet.”

"Let those who used to look down on you look at you differently from now on, and even respectfully address you as Sir."

"Come on everyone. The long-standing structure of the underworld needs to change."

Ivan's voice resounded throughout the underworld, echoing in the souls of all ghosts and gods.

"Thank you for the gift from the King of the Underworld!"

Countless ghosts, gods, spirits, and even ghost servants, had flames ignited in their hearts when they heard these announcements.

There are differences in strength within the underworld, and naturally there are also divisions of status and resources.

Originally this situation would remain unchanged for a long time, but now the King of the Underworld has given them the opportunity to change their fate, which directly inspired them to fight to the death.

The fundamental reason why intelligent creatures live in the world is the desire to stand higher.

After reading the album of ghosts and gods, Alvin divided the trials of the Phantom Tower into more detailed sections.

He did what he said, in order to give ghosts and ghost servants the opportunity to become stronger.

This time, it will take him longer to make the arrangements.

Alvin began to clearly define the rules of the Phantom Tower.

Just divide the abilities and appropriate trials will be arranged in the corresponding towers.

The difficulty of this trial is definitely difficult for the challenger, but the difficulty is not so high that it is impossible to pass.

Just when Alvin was carving the Phantom Tower in the underworld.

A figure with blonde hair and twin ponytails suddenly appeared in the temple of the underworld.

"Caron, what is he doing?"

Puxia saw Alvin engraving various runes into the void.

The formation of each rune will be imprinted in the small world outside the temple of the underworld.

"Build a trial tower that will strengthen the underworld as a whole."

"How did you come?"

Upon hearing this, Caron gave a casual explanation without giving any specific details, and then asked Pusia why she came.

"Esther said that the issue of whether to modify the selection criteria for leaving the inheritance has too great an impact, and she doesn't know what advice to give."

"So she asked me to come find Ivan."

"I was waiting for him at his dojo, but he never came back."

"I thought you might know his whereabouts, so I came here."

Upon hearing this, Puxia explained the reason for her visit.

As soon as these words were spoken, before Caron could open his mouth to reply, he felt a chilly breath, the warning contained in it was obvious.

"When it comes to modifying the screening criteria, it all comes down to whether you are willing to relax the criteria."

Karon knew that Ivan was angry and asked him to get rid of Pusia quickly, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.

"My power and heritage are born for battle."

"And it contains a dark will."

"If you don't have the right character, you will only be able to reach the level of Bayana in your life."

"If they master this kind of power, the harm they will cause to the world will be no less than the chaos caused by ghosts and gods."

"But in order to allow creatures in more dimensions to have more power to resist disasters."

"I have considered lowering the conditions."

"It's just that I don't have a good way to efficiently select a successor for now."

Pusia's voice is clear and pleasant.

Although Puxia herself didn't care about the number of inheritors, she knew that what Ivan said was correct.

If the current Taichu Universe wants to have as many continued dimensions as possible when the war breaks out, it needs more inheritance to give birth to more powerful people.

Otherwise, even if the war is won, if the primordial universe does not fall into the end of all things, countless dimensions will be destroyed.

"It will take me another ten days to complete the arrangements. I will discuss these matters with you in detail when I have time."

"If you are willing to wait, wait for me there."

Alvin originally felt that Prisya's visit was quite troublesome, but when he heard the purpose of Prisya's visit, he still did not turn her away.

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Puxia nodded slightly, jumped lightly, and a spear appeared under her body. She sat on the spear and waited quietly without saying anything.

Although Ivan's words were rather reserved and not so direct, from his behavior, Puxia could tell that Ivan actually disliked her and didn't want to have much to do with her.

But now Puxia also wants to do something, but doesn’t know how to do it, so she wants to come here to discuss it.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

"The Phantom Tower of the Underworld has been opened. Everyone can enter the tower."

After Alvin finished the arrangement, the sound echoed throughout the underworld.

Countless ghosts, spirits, and ghost servants have gathered outside, looking at the world ahead, with thousands of floors of towers emitting a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

One by one, they began to enter the venue in an orderly manner according to their status.

The scene was extremely spectacular for a moment, because there were so many ghosts and gods, and it was pitch black.

The whispering of ghosts and gods is like the wailing of ghosts and gods, shocking the human soul.

If an ordinary person saw this kind of scene, he would probably feel fear instinctively.

However, when Puxia saw this scene, her calm eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest.

Alvin stepped out of the small world and returned to the temple of the underworld.

"Tell me what problem you are facing now."

After Alvin finished making the arrangements, he didn't try to put on airs or do anything to intimidate Pusia. He just got straight to the point.

"I am the representative of light and justice, but the three powers I inherited, the power of the ancient times, the power of the beginning, and the power of Beyana, all contain darkness."

“That’s why the screening criteria are so strict.”

"Even before you help me find a suitable successor."

"I don't think anyone in the world has the moral character to deserve my approval." "If I intentionally lower the conditions and select the successors, it may bring a lot of trouble. How should I weigh this matter?"

Upon hearing this, Puxia asked her first question.

"The nature of power is that there is light and dark."

"But although the power I control is basically biased towards darkness, countless people in the Lant Dimension regard me as their savior."

"So the true distinction between good and evil still depends on the user."

"Of course, those cultivation traditions that specifically harm others for their own benefit are destined to be dark and evil."

"Your heritage has both light and darkness, but because of you, you are praised as the embodiment of light."

"But whether you admit it or not, you have another possibility, and that is to become the embodiment of darkness."

“So you need to let go of some of your prejudices.”

"As for character, it is more about the rare cases of people being born good or born bad. In fact, the character of most people is gradually formed through the acquired environment and what they see and hear."

"You are absolutely right to worry that your successor will use his power to do evil and cause chaos in various dimensions."

"After all, there is a saying that goes, 'When a knife is in hand, evil thoughts will arise.'"

“As preachers, we have different considerations when we want to leave a legacy.”

“I also had this in mind when I left my legacy. My approach was to plant a seed of faith in their hearts while teaching them.”

"As their power grows stronger, the seeds of faith take root and sprout into will. As long as the will in their hearts is not extinguished, they will always act according to the will they have established."

"And their will will indirectly affect more people, making more people become like-minded people."

"And I am like a sword, always hanging over their heads, so that they always remember that there is something watching them."

“So every disciple I personally trained became a hero in the eyes of others.

Ivan picked up a glass of wine and drank it, moistened his throat, and spoke slowly.

The power of most living beings in the world is limited, and everyone's power is relatively average, so they will form a check and balance against each other, allowing people to take things into consideration.

Whether you want to act recklessly or do something brave and righteous, you will subconsciously consider whether you can do it, and if you can, what the consequences will be.

But when a dragon appears among a group of sheep, with the transcendent power to trample on life at will, the countless weighed thoughts in the mind and the subconsciously suppressed desires will expand without limit.

So when Alvin first taught his disciples, he set an example himself to teach them how to become stronger and also taught them what it means to be a strong person.

Alvin does not require his disciples to punish evil and promote good. When faced with certain things, they can choose to stand idly by and turn a blind eye, but they cannot represent evil.

At the same time, we must also understand what can and cannot be done in the world of the strong.

"Character, faith, and will."

When Puxia heard this, she was thoughtful.

As an innate creature born in the beginning of time, Pusia is the embodiment of light, justice, war and fighting.

She had not considered how character is formed.

She only knew what it took to harness her power.

Therefore, the conditions for inheritance she set would be difficult for anyone to achieve for countless years.

It was not until Ivan took the initiative to help her find one that the successor of Beyana appeared in the world.

After the war is over, she can consider taking back those powers.

“Faith and will are both invisible forces.”

"The faith and will contained therein can be called an eternal and indestructible force."

“Ordinary creatures will grow old, get sick, and die, but things like faith and will can be passed down through the generations.”

“The power of belief and will will never disappear, at most it will be forgotten.”

"In the long years, when new lives are born, someone will rekindle the same faith and will."

"Those beings may have never met each other, or even known each other."

"But just like human desires are indelible, the belief and will to pursue light, justice and beauty are also indelible."

“The difference lies in the flame of faith and will, whether it is a tiny spark or a raging fire that can infect the world.”

"The essence of the law of fluctuations lies in the embodiment of faith, spirit, and will combined with the fluctuations of the world."

Hearing this, Alvin nodded slightly and spoke slowly.

Finally, Ivan's wave rules exploded, and the terrifying murderous intent turned into a tangible blood-red vortex.

This murderous intent also changed and turned into sad raindrops that fell, causing an uncontrollable sadness to well up in people's hearts just by sensing it.

Killing intent, sadness, anger, despair, hope, fighting spirit, kindness, evil thoughts, protection, uneasiness, joy, and longing, all factors that exist in belief and will, have all turned into reality.

"These will emotions are different, although there are also positive and negative ones."

“However, when a certain emotion reaches its extreme, it will also burst out with unprecedented power.”

"It's like at the end of despair, because of some unexpected events, there is hope that can sweep away all the gloom."

"The emotions of living beings are just like these."

"When they plant the seeds of different beliefs in their hearts, the beliefs and wills will eventually take root and sprout, and various virtues will also emerge."

"Although your screening criteria are very strict, Puxia, as far as I am concerned, as long as I have some time, I don't need to look around for people who might meet the criteria."

"Because it is not a big deal for me to proactively create someone who meets your inheritance requirements."

"So do you understand the essence of morality?"

Ivan asked after showing Pusia the instructions.

"I already understand what you mean."

"The rules and authority you control are truly mysterious."

When Puxia saw the more than ten cyclones displayed by Ivan, she nodded slightly.

What Alvin said was actually telling her that moral character is not static.

For those who are extremely disappointed with themselves and the world, there are certain methods that can help them rekindle the fire of hope and have a positive outlook on the world again.

"The ability of the wave rule is extremely comprehensive, with no obvious division between light and dark."

"But if I wanted, I could use it to manipulate people's hearts and minds, influencing countless people to work for me like puppets of my will. This is undoubtedly a dark act."

"But as long as I only use the wave rules to fight, it will help me observe human nature and distinguish right from wrong, and play a role in understanding other people's hearts during battle."

“Others who don’t know the details will think that the wave rules belong to the power of light.”

"I can also confidently say that the nature of the power of the wave rule is fundamentally bright."

In Ivan's hand, there were more than ten cyclones circling between his palms, and his tone was full of calmness and confidence.

"Then how can I train a suitable successor?"

Upon hearing this, Pusia asked again.

"It depends on whether you want to cast a wide net, give some simple warnings, and then wait for them to develop on their own."

"Or should you select them yourself and teach them one by one with great care?"

"But I feel that although you have a lot of free time, at this stage, you probably don't have enough time for you to select a very small number of people to train."

When Alvin heard this question, he opened his mouth to answer.

He did have his own selfish motives and didn't like having Pushya staring at him every day.

This made his normal intimacy with Sosia and Margaret feel a little uncomfortable.

But in the face of the overall situation, Ivan's selfish desires can undoubtedly be suppressed.

"Your suggestion is that I should cast a wider net."

“From a big picture perspective, this approach is indeed the most effective and quickest to implement.”

“But how can we cast a wide net, and how can we set up simple warnings to be effective?”

"I don't have any experience with this, can you help me?"

After hearing this, Puxia seemed to be thinking deeply and understood Ivan's intention, but she herself had no experience in teaching the inheritor.

Her only successor now was obtained with the help of Alvin.

"Since you have come to ask for advice today, I will tell you the difference and of course I can help you."

Alvin looked at Pusia, whose face was calm and seemed to show no emotion at all. However, his inner emotion was filled with confusion. After thinking for a while, he did not refuse.

This woman named Pusia is actually very similar to the complete form of Archangel Michael. Both of them are stupid people.

But Pusia can control her thoughts and actions.

The perfect Archangel Michael could not control the thoughts of destroying darkness that kept bursting out of his heart, so he seemed very crazy.

"Please enlighten me."

When Puxia heard that Ivan was willing to help, she immediately spoke up.

When she said this, Puxia's face was still indifferent and calm. Ordinary people might think that Puxia had no intention of asking for help at all.

However, both Caron and Ivan knew Priscilla's true nature, so they did not misunderstand.

"Caron, you have known Puccia for many years. Have you ever seen Puccia smile?"

But Ivan thought of something and asked Karon in the soul contract.

"No, Pusia's expression has always been like this."

"At first, she looked at me as if I were an ordinary dead object."

“So I fought her a few times.”

"In the end, the misunderstanding was resolved. Her expression and words did not show that she looked down on us. She was just born that way."

Upon hearing this, Caron responded immediately.

Each of these primordial beings was born to stand at the pinnacle of the universe.

Even when people of the same kind meet, there will be some changes in their words and actions.

But when they faced Puxia, Puxia's words and actions were calm and indifferent from beginning to end.

In addition, once they got angry and took the first step, Pusia called them ignorant ants.

When everyone was still unfamiliar with each other at the beginning, they all often came to settle accounts with Puxia.

It was not until they finally realized that they could not beat Pushya in a one-on-one fight that they were willing to communicate with Pushya honestly.

It was only after the communication that they realized that Pushya was in a state of always remaining absolutely calm.

When we first met, I didn't mean to look down on them.

Of course, the fundamental reason why they were able to reach a reconciliation was that Pushya’s fighting power was too strong.

If they could beat Pushya, their attitude would be completely different.
