Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

Feng Lizhui just said that the existence of He Li, Jiang Hongxian, and others is the best proof that the world has begun to descend into chaos and that all living beings will perish...

He Li did not object to this point.

They are people from later generations, and should not have appeared in a past era that has already vanished.

Their presence signifies error.

This means that someone is trying to interfere with spacetime.

This also means that they will influence history, affect the world, and thus create unpredictable chaos.

Not to mention, aside from them...

This era also faces numerous challenges, such as the depletion of spiritual energy and the dwindling of resources, which have already been noticed by the top experts of this era, and they are likely to do more to solve these problems...

Those things, if not handled properly, could have far-reaching consequences, exacerbating the nascent chaos.

Feng Lizhui was, after all, a descendant of Suiren.

His strength and ability must be great.

Even though Feng Lizhui can't clearly see through He Li and the others' true situation, he can at least see and perceive the differences between them and the indigenous people.

They also realized that He Li and his special beings would not normally appear.

Therefore, Feng Li, through He Li and the others, can say with certainty that the chaos has begun without any problem.

He Li also expressed his agreement.

But regarding what Feng Lizhui said...

He Li disagrees with the idea that even God cannot save them from this situation, and that they will only perish.

He came from the future, and he knew that a world where heaven and earth would be separated would appear, and many Qi cultivators and gods would travel to other worlds with their families and abundant resources.

This shows that demise has not yet arrived.

Or rather, the problem of the extinction of all living beings, as Feng Lizhui had speculated, was later successfully resolved.

And what He Li was concerned about was...

In this era, no one in later generations knew anything about the aggregates of evil thoughts under the cover of night, and even in the Middle Realm, it seemed that no one had ever mentioned it.

This is certainly not a coincidence; it is highly likely that there is no record of this information in later generations.

Even the Qi Refiners of the Middle Realm truly didn't know.

As for why there's no record...

Two possibilities.

For example, there were records, but the relevant information about the time of the separation of heaven and earth was destroyed along with the cultivation methods by the Qi cultivators, demon immortals, gods and other beings of that time.

This possibility exists.

After all, those Qi cultivators, demon immortals, and gods at that time had extremely malicious intentions.

They want to sever the connection between heaven and earth, take away all resources, and prevent future generations from continuing to cultivate immortality in the lower realms, so that they can catch up with them and take revenge.

For this reason, they destroyed almost all magic.

They even erased the history of Qi cultivation.

Since they've gone to such lengths, why can't they erase the information about Nightfall?

The second possibility is that people in that era genuinely did not record anything about aggregates of evil thoughts, perhaps because someone later solved the problem...

In the eyes of the beings at that time, the aggregate of evil thoughts could never appear again.

Since that's the case, there's no need to record it.

In any case, future generations won't have to face it.

However, although there are two speculations, He Li still tends to believe that the sages recorded this event, but it was later erased by the beings who left for the Middle Realm.

As He Li thought of this, the torch in his Purple Mansion space unconsciously came to mind...

That thing was made from the branches of the sacred tree.

Torches made of sacred tree branches, Nuo ritual fires burning through the night...

These two are combined.

Furthermore, the information he had just obtained about these aggregates of evil thoughts made He Li wonder if resolving the issue of these aggregates of evil thoughts was related to him.

Thinking this, he looked up at Feng Lizhui: "The balance between the aggregate of evil thoughts and living beings has been broken..."

"Is there really no possibility of repair?"

"Is there really no way to completely eliminate those aggregates of evil thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Lizhui frowned.

He seemed to be pondering something as well.

Several seconds later, he responded, "While there isn't a definitive solution at the moment, there are theoretically possible ways to resolve the issue."

Sure enough, He Li's lips curled up slightly.

"Explain in detail!" he gestured for the other person to continue.

Upon hearing this, Feng Lizhui said, "The aggregate of evil thoughts is not entirely impossible to eliminate; it's just that they regenerate too quickly and there are too many of them, making it impossible to completely eradicate them under normal circumstances."

"And they originate from evil thoughts; as long as intelligent beings have evil thoughts, they will exist."

However, everything in the universe is interconnected and mutually restraining.

"While aggregates of evil are indeed powerful, forces such as flames and light can effectively suppress them. Therefore, if there were a sufficiently powerful and persistent force..."

"The power to suppress and eliminate evil thoughts."

"That aggregate of evil thoughts will be completely annihilated."

After saying this, Feng Lizhui shook his head slightly, clearly knowing very well that such a thing could only exist in theory and could never be truly realized.

Because, as he just said, the power to restrain a collection of evil thoughts is actually limited.

And those aggregates of evil thoughts...

It will grow and resist this force.

The most obvious example is that even ordinary flames used to frighten those aggregates of evil thoughts.

But now? They're not afraid at all.

Moreover, although power like He Li's solar fire is also a special flame, it cannot be effective. Considering all this, the power to fight against the aggregate of evil thoughts is too limited.

I want to get rid of them completely...

That's just wishful thinking.

He Li, of course, had also thought of these things.

Leaving aside the issue of limited resources...

He had been puzzled by the fact that his solar fire wasn't working, and now that it was brought up, he couldn't help but ask, "Why isn't my solar fire working?"

"That at least originated from the flames of the Golden Crow, and the Golden Crow represents the power of the sun."

"A collection of evil thoughts doesn't exist during the day, does it?"

"This shows that they are afraid of daylight, or rather, afraid of the power of sunlight."

"If that's the case, why is the sun's fire useless?"

"Why?" Feng Lizhui sneered.

"There are two reasons. First, the source of the sun's fire, namely the Golden Crow, is problematic. Their own will and beliefs can influence the sun's fire."

"A golden crow that commits all sorts of evil deeds, taking pleasure in scorching the earth, burning forests, and destroying life..."

"Do you expect that the Golden Crow Fire, filled with violence, cruelty, and destruction, can combat evil?"

"This flame is meaningless to evil thoughts."

Secondly, it's your own fault.

"You have limited control over this flame."

"You cannot simply unleash your own flames by fusing them with your will and beliefs, but these flames are abnormal..."

Feng Lizhui didn't continue speaking.

But He Li understood.

To put it bluntly, those golden crows were not good people to begin with, so their flames could not suppress evil thoughts, and also, his mastery of his abilities was too low.

If only he could, like Jiang Hongxian, reach the pinnacle of understanding and application of fire…

Then what about the fire of the sun? It could probably burn away countless collections of evil thoughts with a wave of his hand.

I've figured this out.

He Li pondered for a moment and then spoke again: "According to your earlier idea, if one possessed a sufficiently strong, powerful positive force, one could eliminate most evil thoughts..."

"Then we need to find a way to create a special power that can suppress the aggregate of evil thoughts for a long time..."

"So, this can make the aggregate of evil thoughts disappear?"

"Yes!" Feng Li nodded.

He Li then asked, "Then... if we burn the Divine Tree, can we cleanse evil thoughts?"

"Hmm?" Upon hearing He Li's words, Feng Lizhui subconsciously looked up at the divine tree in the distance, whose crown could not be seen, before turning back to examine He Li with some suspicion.

He recalled that he had indeed vaguely sensed something when he approached He Li and the others earlier...

The power that these people retain.

That seems to be the power of the divine tree?

At least, they are similar.

However, the divine tree is extremely powerful. Even the gods could not possibly destroy it. How could these mortals possibly destroy or ignite the divine tree?

Feng Lizhui couldn't quite understand it.

But he still responded: "Theoretically speaking, it is possible, because the power of the divine tree is immeasurable, and its existence predates even the Heavenly Emperor, Nuwa, and the Fire Ancestor."

"And its power is absolutely positive."

"If such a being were to recklessly burn itself and cooperate with the Fire Ancestor and the others to deal with the aggregate of evil thoughts, at least for the time being, the nights would become safer!"

"only……"

Feng Li looked He Li up and down.

"Do you think you have a way to get the sacred tree to agree to burn itself in exchange for temporary peace?"

"Hard to say!" He Li shrugged.
