The Law of Heaven

Chapter 70 God accepts meat

Chapter 70 God accepts meat
Time seemed to stand still. After saying these words, Aihara fell into deep thought. Fortunately, this was within the illusion of time stopping, so he wouldn't waste time leading his people to escape.

The origin of all this can be traced back to the mirage dragon.

What exactly does the Shi family want to do with the Mirage Dragon?
Fu Wanghu's spirit pondered for a moment, then asked curiously, "You just said that those people didn't really die, but were reborn in a different place?"

It must be said that, as a high-level immortal being, this guy really has no airs at all.

If you don’t understand, just ask.

Those eyes were filled with a longing for the unknown.

It's like a child seeing something new.

Aihara hummed in agreement and recounted his experiences in the Misty Mountain: "Based on my guess, about a hundred years ago, the Germans, in alliance with the Toki family, opened the forbidden gate. The Mirage Dragon was awakened, and its genes flowed into the mortal world, infecting the people of this city. After being infected, humans develop severe genetic defects."

Unawakened immortals may contract diseases as a result; I'm not sure what those diseases are, but the mortality rate is high. As for awakened immortals, I'm less clear about what this genetic defect means.

For many years, the Shi family has been searching for patients with this genetic disease. Many patients' families believed they were dead, but that wasn't actually the case. The Shi family simply used some means to bring them to the opposite side for experiments.

Those experimental subjects underwent a transformation into mythical creatures, possessing unimaginable power.

Fu Wanghu's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had figured something out, and he murmured, "So that's how it is. The so-called genetic disease patients are actually experimental subjects."

In recent years, he has been living a secluded life in prison, occasionally going to the hospital for treatment of mental pollution. He knows very little about the changes in the outside world, but he really didn't know that the Shi family was doing such crazy things.

That makes sense now.

During his escape, he discovered that many people in the city suffered from a strange genetic disease, which was very likely caused by something in the Fog Mountain. However, there was no conclusive evidence and the cause remained unknown.

Now he understood. It turned out that this was an experiment by the Shi family. No wonder the spiritual fluctuations he sensed when he secretly sneaked into the other side were so strange.

What were the characteristics of those experimental subjects?

Fu Wanghu asked again.

"Uh, half-human, half-dragon, incredibly agile and brutal, and it will continue to evolve. Compared to the Dead Apostles, it's on a completely different level."

Aihara scratched his head, feeling embarrassed to admit that he hadn't seen the test subject's true appearance.

"I didn't expect you to know so much."

Fu Wanghu gave him a deep look, his eyes profound: "But don't you think... this unique life form is a lot like the monster in the diary of delusions?"

Aihara frowned. Of course, he thought so too; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked so many questions indirectly before.

“But something still feels off. Why is the Mirage Dragon in such a strange state? Why is it shedding bone and blood? Theoretically, once the laws of nature are restored, they should cause disasters…”

He pondered for a moment, a flicker of emotion crossing his eyes, and murmured in disbelief, "So that's how it is! It's amazing, unbelievable!"

Aihara was taken aback: "What's wrong with you?"

Fu Wanghu licked his lips excitedly and said in a hoarse voice, "This is my guess, but the probability of it being correct is very high. Master Zhou should have told you that Tianli is a mythical creature, and its appearance is often accompanied by great disasters, which are usually recorded in history. But looking at thousands of years of history, no one has ever recorded a primordial disaster in Wushan. If that's the case, why is the Mirage Dragon sleeping here?"
Furthermore, if the forbidden gate in the Misty Mountain had been opened more than a hundred years ago, the Mirage Dragon should have awakened long ago, and the primordial disaster should have occurred then. It's impossible that it's been delayed until now; a hundred years is too long.

But why not? I think there's only one explanation: the Heavenly Principle within the Misty Mountain was originally an inanimate object. Some extremely secretive and powerful being sealed it here. Over a hundred years ago, someone broke the seal, but the Heavenly Principle didn't awaken, because it was already dead. However, its blood and essence flowed out, polluting the city, and a forbidden ritual began.

This statement was so shocking that it startled Aihara.

"Is the principle of Heaven an inanimate object?"

he murmured.

“I guess so. His status and his current power don’t match. He is too weak and doesn’t seem like someone who has been dormant for thousands of years. During World War II, a primordial disaster occurred in Hiroshima, Japan.”

Fu Wanghu explained, "That Heavenly Principle's status is far inferior to that of the Mirage Dragon, but its destructive power is much greater. If the Mirage Dragon hadn't just been resurrected, even if I were to wield a Superior Living Spirit, I shouldn't be able to affect it."

Aihara was somewhat curious about the historical events surrounding the revival of Tenryu, but there was a more pressing question at hand: "What exactly is this forbidden ritual you're talking about?"

Fu Wanghu glanced at him and said indifferently, "Why does Heavenly Principle subject the immortal race to spiritual erosion? It's because Heavenly Principle's instinct is destruction and invasion. It will devour reality from the other side and assimilate all life or matter that it perceives, including humans, of course."

This is the instinct of the Heavenly Principle, which is why they are extremely dangerous and are called primal calamities. Now there is a deceased Heavenly Principle whose bones and blood have flowed into the present world. The genes of those infected will become defective, and after being modified by some kind of technology, they will evolve towards the level of the Heavenly Principle.

Can you guess why?

Aihara was taken aback: "Resurrected?"

Fu Wanghu nodded and said, "Yes, the flesh is resurrected, and this city is His sacrificial ground. In the end, the Mirage Dragon will choose a perfect host to complete the assimilation."

A storm raged through Aihara's mind. His guess was generally correct, but his motive was wrong.

The Shi family is not conducting an experiment.

It's actually helping the Mirage Dragon revive!
Those so-called experimental subjects were all byproducts!

He suddenly thought of the Ruan siblings.

"If Ruan Qi is devoured by her brother, or if she devours her brother, will she become the perfect host of Heaven's Law, and eventually become the vessel for the descent of a god?"

Aihara didn't know if his guess was right or wrong.

This is terrifying.

A chill ran down his spine.

To everyone's surprise, his first guest had such a remarkable background, possibly being the vessel of a god!

Without realizing it, his heart started racing.

Aihara suddenly thought of a crucial question and asked curiously, "Does Tenri (Heavenly Principles) possess free will? I mean, do they have a personality similar to humans, do they have intelligence and thought, and do they have emotions?"

Fu Wanghu thought for a moment: "Of course, the principles of Heaven possess free will. They not only have wisdom, but also a strong ability to learn. However, theoretically, they do not possess human emotions. Humans cannot understand their way of thinking."

"Theoretically?" "Yes, only theoretically, but there seem to be some special cases in history, but we can't prove them."

"If Tianli is truly resurrected through physical means, what will happen to the original host?"

"Logically speaking, the host's body will be devoured by the power of the gods and move towards the realm of mythology. His soul, naturally, cannot withstand this evolution and will be reduced to ashes."

"In other words, the host will eventually be replaced."

Silence fell on both sides.

Aihara took a deep breath: "Was the Toki family you sensed earlier also in this situation?"

Fu Wanghu raised his head, looked at the fourth-floor stands, and smiled slightly: "Yes, I saw the person who should have died reappear in front of my aunt. Although he looks the same as before, he has indeed changed a lot. If you hadn't reminded me, I really wouldn't have noticed that subtle change."

Aihara frowned: "What subtle change?"

Fu Wanghu said, “Have you ever heard of a False Man? A False Man kills the people around you without you even realizing it and takes their place. It seems that my old acquaintances are in the same situation. Their souls have long been annihilated in the process of evolution, and some new consciousness has taken over their bodies and inherited everything from them.”

"Everything?"

Aihara felt a chill run down her spine; this was absolutely terrifying.

"Yes, including memories, emotions, and personality."

Fu Wanghu shrugged: "If you hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have noticed the difference. I thought they had become Death Apostles who could maintain their rationality, and I was almost tempted."

Aihara's eye twitched slightly: "The way you're talking makes it sound like you're all that rational right now."

However, when he thought about how he had also cultivated ten layers of delusion, he suddenly fell silent, overwhelmed by inexplicable sorrow.

Fu Wanghu shrugged: "In short, whether it's what I'm guessing or not, you can verify it by killing an experimental subject and letting me eat his consciousness."

Kill a test subject.

Aihara pursed his lips, saying it so casually.

The illusion collapsed with a crash.

Aihara sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the venue. The chaotic and profound aura was like an undercurrent in the deep sea, creating a terrifying sense of oppression even from a great distance.

It is clear that the top leaders of the five major families were also attacked, but fortunately the aftermath of the battle did not spread.

He didn't fight any further along the way, but instead used his sensory abilities to observe his surroundings.

He must conserve his spiritual essence as much as possible.

The group walked through the narrow passageway.

Jiang Wanwu was very close to him, and could vaguely feel the soft, delicate body of the mature woman, as well as her warm body temperature.

"Why are you so powerful?"

She raised her bright eyes, her breath sweet as orchids.

This conversation should logically take place in bed.

"I have never said that I am weak."

Aihara remained calm and composed, glancing intentionally or unintentionally at the elegant lady beside her, and said with high emotional intelligence, "Is this your mother? I thought it was your older sister."

Jiang's mother, hiding behind her daughter, immediately beamed and said, "Young man, you really know how to talk!"

Jiang Wanwu said irritably, "Mom! Consider the occasion!"

Jiang's mother rolled her eyes: "What, is it wrong for people to compliment me on being young and beautiful? Are you jealous?"

Despite this, the two women remained on edge, gripping their guns and remaining vigilant at all times. Even with their feet bare on the ground, they showed no signs of being delicate or coquettish.

"Go to the underground parking lot first, find a car and drive out."

Aihara suddenly stopped.

"The elevator door upstairs has opened."

He calmly said, "Someone has entered the emergency exit and will appear in about twenty seconds."

Everyone was taken aback, but after the battle they had just fought, they all chose to believe the boy.

Jiang Wanwu looked at him with surprise.

Jiang's mother didn't know how he had figured it out.

But Jian Mo suddenly appeared, holding a revolver and lying in ambush in front of the door, holding his breath.

Xiao Li lay in ambush on the right, ready to launch a human bomb attack.

The refugees remained silent, holding their breath.

Master Zhou covered his head with his hands and hid at the very back.

Footsteps suddenly sounded.
