Chapter 71 Why am I? What am I?
(The essence of man is the sum of all social relations)

In the silence, Fang Zheng suddenly said, "By the way, whether you like it or not, let's drink some milk first to clean up."

Then he placed a box filled with milk and said, "Everyone, whether you are healthy or not, drink some. It shouldn't do any harm."

After a moment's silence, many Supreme Beings lined up to take out buckets of milk from the box and drank them one by one without hesitation.

In an instant, the palace hall was filled with blood. Almost every supreme being's body burst out with more or less blood mist, and their souls also suffered corresponding injuries.

This shows that the previous conjecture has been confirmed - under the fluctuations of the long river of time, every cultivator in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths may have been infected by the seeds of darkness in the distant past, causing their emotions to be affected unconsciously.

It’s just that the extent of this impact may be deep or shallow.

After all the supreme beings have finished drinking the milk, it means that the black energy deep in their souls that subtly affects their emotions and memories has been completely eradicated.

After they finished drinking the milk, Fang Zheng did not wait for the entanglement that he thought the Supremes would have.

Inside this magnificent palace built of feathered blue gold, someone let out a soft laugh.

Along with the sound of footsteps, an old man in plain cloth walked out from among the many supreme beings.

The faces of practitioners often represent their state of mind.

Some cultivators still look young even if their spirits are exhausted and their qi and blood are withered, which often means that their mentality has not changed much.

For some monks, their faces will become more and more aged as their lifespan passes, which means that their mentality also begins to age.

This old man is one of the ancient celestial beings of the mythological era, known as the Lord of Morality.

His hair is silver-white and his face is old but not decayed, just like a vigorous sacred tree, which seems to remain in this state forever.

He looked at Fang Zheng and chuckled softly, "Fellow Daoist Fang Zheng, there's no need to worry too much."

As he spoke, the five energies in the chest of the Lord of Dao and Virtue rose, and the three flowers on the top of his head blossomed. Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, the five gods who suppressed the secret realm of the Taoist Palace came out one after another.

Five gods with different faces spoke at the same time: "Is a part of me mine?"

"Uh?" Fang Zheng felt like scratching his head. "I guess so."

Immediately afterwards, the three flowers on the head of the Lord of Morality bloomed again, and three figures walked out of them.

The young Yuqing, the middle-aged Shangqing, and the old Taiqing, this is the secret method of the Lord of Daode, the incarnation of the Three Pure Ones in one breath.

This method is extremely powerful. In a short period of time, it can summon three incarnations with the same combat power as the original body.

The young man Yuqing laughed and said, "The me of the past is not me?"

The middle-aged Shangqing laughed and said, "The me now is not me?"

The old Taiqing said with a smile: "The future me is not me?"

Fang Zheng: "So...it should all be you, right?"

……

Immediately afterwards, another bald man walked out of the crowd. His name was Amitabha the Great Emperor. He was also a remarkable man among the many great emperors and ancient kings. On his way to enlightenment, he did not kill anyone, but instead brainwashed and converted all his enemies.

As he walked out, on the Big Dipper under the Yuhua Qingjin Palace, in the Western Buddhist land, an old monk, who was the divine body condensed by the endless power of faith of the Great Emperor Amitabha, also took a step forward and came here.

Amitabha Buddha smiled and said, "We Buddhists cultivate the afterlife. If you believe in the afterlife, it exists. If you don't believe in it, it doesn't exist."

"If I die thousands of years later, and a flower that looks like me blooms in the world, will it be my afterlife?"

"If there was a flower similar to me billions of years ago, was it my past life?"

With a smile, Amitabha Buddha holds a flower in his hand.

Fang Zheng saw that his fingers were expanding endlessly, and a lotus as huge as a lotus appeared at his fingertips, consisting of a total of three thousand worlds.

The lotus continued to expand endlessly, wrapping Fang Zheng in it, allowing him to see that in one of the vast three thousand worlds, there was another Amitabha Buddha smiling and holding a flower in his hand.

There is a vast world of three thousand in the finger, and in the three thousand worlds there are three thousand Amitabha Buddhas, nested like Russian dolls.

Amitabha Buddha smiled and said, "What color is the wind? The wind is originally colorless, but it becomes visible due to the movement of the flag. I am not real, but I appear due to the arising of conditions."

"The arising and ending of karma is 'I'"

Then he pointed to the sky with one hand and to the earth with the other. "Above all heaven and earth, I alone reign supreme!"

The deity, shaped like an old monk, nodded. "The power of all living beings' faith in Amitabha Buddha has coalesced into me, but who am I? Am I Amitabha Buddha, or am I the Amitabha Buddha in their hearts?"

“Do I live in them, and do they live in me?”

"Ah, this?" Fang Zheng was a little confused.

……

Lingbao Tianzun then stepped out from the crowd. "Ancient texts say that when a person dies and is buried in a Feng Shui-rich place, after a long time, they will be reborn."

"But once the primordial spirit dissipates, the corpse will transform into a spirit, giving birth to a brand new primordial spirit and leading to a brand new life."

"However, when a corpse becomes spiritual, it will form a mysterious mark of reincarnation."

"Ancient texts say that when one dies again and again, and communicates with spirits again and again, forming nine reincarnation seals, the seals will merge into one, and that person will become an immortal and regain everything they once had."

"In each of these intertwined experiences, he will have a completely different life. Perhaps he is a wicked villain, or perhaps a kind person with compassion for the world. Perhaps he has embarked on a path of cultivation, or perhaps he has lived a mediocre life as a mortal..." "When the nine reincarnation seals merge into one, when different memories blend together, who will he be?"

"Huh?" Fang Zheng felt even more confused.

……

Another person walked out, his name was Emperor Hengyu.

He stretched out his hand and the void was torn apart.

On the Big Dipper, the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Yifei, who was staying in the Jiang family's secret realm and was feeling the process of his ancestor's transformation into the third life, was directly grabbed in the hand.

Emperor Hengyu patted Jiang Yifei's face, which was covered in cold sweat and pale with fear from the dense pressure of the Supreme Being. He pinched the face that looked exactly like his own and said:

"Fellow Daoist Fang Zheng, I once studied the method of bloodline immortality, integrating my laws, my memories, and everything I have into my bloodline."

"Thus, everything I have will be reduced to fragments, living on in the blood of my descendants."

"Just like the inherited memories of many races, the bloodline I pass on will pass on everything I have to future generations in the distant future."

"If my bloodline immortality method succeeds, my descendants may awaken certain magical powers or physical qualities, or perhaps even unearth incomplete secret techniques or even memories from their bloodline in dreams."

"Everything about my ancestors is engraved in my blood and passed down from generation to generation."

"One day, the broken laws and scattered memories will finally reunite and give birth to a 'me'."

"Can this 'me' still be considered the 'me' I once was?"

Fang Zheng no longer knew how to respond.

Who am I? Who am I?
Who is Fang Zheng? Who is Fang Zheng?

Fang Zheng was somewhat confused by the understanding of 'me' by so many Supreme Beings.

The Taiyin Divine Emperor also walked out shortly afterwards and said to Fang Zheng calmly, "If the Taiyin Holy Emperor of the past was willing to fight for all living beings, and I am now domineering and cruel, would he recognize me as I am now? Would I recognize him as I was in the past?"

He paused briefly and continued, "Will my adult self recognize my childhood self? Will my old and dead self recognize my present self? Is it still the same person? After going through so many experiences and changing his temperament, is he still the same person?"

Seeing Fang Zheng's hesitation, Taiyin Divine Emperor shook his head, took a long breath, looked at Fang Zheng, and said slowly:

"Neither I nor the other Supreme Beings have a clear answer to this."

“The word ‘I’ exists in one’s heart.”

“Live in the present moment and accept the present moment.”

"Fang Zheng, follow your own path. At least at this moment, you are undoubtedly you."

One after another, the Supreme Beings came out and gently told Fang Zheng their understanding of "what is me".

When facing the threat of time and the crisis of being killed by the enemy because of the weak past, at this moment, there is a way to cut off your weak past and make the present self no longer have the weaknesses brought by the weak past.

Do you still need to hesitate?

Of course not!
Every supreme being rises from countless living beings, fights all the way to madness, kills until heads roll and blood turns into a sea, fights until no one in the world dares to claim the supreme power!
What am I?
Why am I?
Why bother with such ridiculous issues as so-called clones?

Among all the supreme beings present, no one would worry about this issue.

They already had their own answers, and the only one who was struggling with it was Fang Zheng.

"Really?" Fang Zheng was silent for a moment and smiled slightly.

Yeah, there's nothing to worry about.

Although the current block man is square and has no so-called thinking process, he is just a question-and-answer machine.

One that seems to have infinite answers and can even output infinite answers to pi within a limited time.

However, due to the limitations of the search engine "Founder", it is necessary to follow a specific search method to give the corresponding answer.

so what?

Following the narration of many Supreme Beings, another answer was output by Fang Zheng.

Answer: (The essence of man is the sum of all social relations)

There is no need to think, and thinking does not exist. Even without interference from external information, it will gradually stagnate and no longer output answers.

However, external interference, everything that "Fang Zheng" "sees", the answers it brings, and the sum of all these social relations, can't they also be called "Fang Zheng"?
Just as Taiyin said, the word "I" exists in one's heart, and one just needs to live in the present moment.

From this, Fang Zheng once again output the answer—(He smiled and said, "Since you are not confused, let's get started.")
He took out a bucket. "Transform yourself into small fish, so I can collect you and place you, severing your weak past."

"In this way, you will no longer have to worry about the present disappearing due to the weak past being killed when time is changed."

Looking at the Supremes, Fang Zheng asked, "Who will go first?"

The first one to come forward was the Taiyin Divine Emperor.

He said calmly, "No matter how different you think I am from the former Taiyin Saint Emperor, I am only me at this moment."

As he spoke, he activated his secret technique and transformed his body into the shape of a fish, lying on the feathered lapis lazuli floor.
