Hei Fengshen's infinite deduction to become a saint
Chapter 42 Corrupting Ancestral Spirits, the Iron Curtain Order
After walking a few steps, the True Immortal's eyes saw deep within the ancestral hall, where there was a dark and mysterious space.
That space was formed by the incense smoke from the ancestral hall, and a soul was sleeping inside.
This soul was half black and half transparent, with the golden light from the incense burning shimmering within its transparent half.
The other half, pitch black, had a hideous appearance, with countless bizarre pustules growing on it, and even strange black eyes.
These eyes were fixed on Li Changshou, as if they could see his presence.
Upon seeing this, Li Changshou's heart skipped a beat. "What is that?"
He focused his mind on the Jade Disc of Creation, and all the images before him were transformed into information and injected into it.
"What is this thing?!"
Information appeared in the Jade Disc of Creation; it was information that had already been recorded and did not require calculation. Li Changshou quickly knew what it was.
Ancestral Spirits: These are ancestors worshipped in villages who received a trace of human witch blood to sustain their goodwill through offerings. This formed the power of incense and vows, ultimately transforming the ancestors' souls into ancestral spirits. These are extraordinary souls with wondrous innate magic, but because they lack a systematic cultivation method, they will eventually be gradually eroded by the costs of their magic, turning into demons.
Note: Only humans can generate incense offerings and vows; no other race can.
Looking at the displayed information, Li Changshou finally understood.
However, he noticed one thing: "Only humans can generate the power of incense offerings and prayers."
"Does maintaining good intentions through witch blood have something to do with witch blood?"
"Kindness seems to have a very special place in this world."
As a time traveler, he understood very well that kindness was extremely important in a society.
It forms a game with evil, and ultimately creates the greatest common denominator of a social moral system.
A world consisting only of good or only of evil is bound to collapse.
His gaze fell upon the ancestral spirit, then swept over the surrounding dilapidated villagers, before his attention returned to the Jade Disc of Creation.
"Extract information on the social structure of villages, kingdoms, etc. in Jambudvipa (the southern continent of Jambudvipa)."
The Jade Disc of Creation flickered slightly, and soon some information flowed into his mind.
The contents recorded inside are not many; the Jiejiao Yingxianlou does not record much information about these mortal dynasties.
But Li Changshou had already understood why the village had become like this.
The saying goes, "Success and failure both depend on Xiao He."
These villages in the wild must worship their ancestral spirits in order to survive.
Ancestral spirits can protect the village and the surrounding land, and drive away various strange phenomena or monsters and demons that may appear at night.
Demons are the most dangerous creatures in the wild.
It is usually a demon beast or cultivator who has achieved great success in cultivation, and becomes something due to complete corruption.
Once they appear, they will be suppressed by the Nine Provinces Barrier of Jambudvipa, which will then attract the imperial court to surround and kill them.
Ancestral spirits can, to some extent, hinder some weaker demons.
However, while the ancestral spirits protect the village, they also need to continuously draw upon the incense offerings and prayers of the villagers.
These wishes all require the consumption of human life and personal fortune.
The greatest function of these incense offerings, besides enhancing the power of the ancestral spirits, is to counteract the pollution and costs associated with the innate magic possessed by the ancestral spirits.
If the village has a good harvest, the villagers are well-fed and healthy, and they can withstand this kind of consumption.
Once the village's harvest weakens and the villagers become frail, this depletion, like a disease, gradually erodes the village's foundation until it eventually drains the entire village dry.
The ancestral spirits will also completely transform into demons, and the entire village will become a den of demons, with countless dead villagers turning into puppets.
Therefore, before such villages were destroyed, they would be monitored and taken over by the imperial court, and then used as slaves to be offered to various religious sects.
These slaves were fortunate to be able to live for a while longer.
Li Changshou fell silent upon seeing this.
He suddenly understood the basic rules governing how this world operates.
All human dynasties continuously built villages, and various sects sent monks into the dynasties as worshippers to protect the stability of the human dynasty's order.
At the same time, they continuously harvested the villages that were about to be destroyed as offerings demanded by various religious sects.
This is a mechanism that has been operating for millions, even tens of millions of years.
He finally understood how Daoist Duobao had refined such a large number of treasures.
I also came to understand the entire order of this world.
"All crops are at the bottom; humans are like grass-eating cattle and sheep."
"The entire Humanitarian Dynasty is composed of people who are half shepherds and half landlords."
"The so-called cultivators are tax collectors or nobles of varying ranks, with the saints at the very top."
A network so harsh that there was no hope of resistance was clearly presented in Li Changshou's eyes.
He felt his hair stand on end; the bloody order was almost suffocating him.
Looking at the limited energy stored in the Jade Disc of Creation, he suppressed the urge to make calculations. Now was not the time to waste energy on these matters.
"This is a complete cannibalistic food chain. The human race in this world is too miserable."
Just then, the western sun crashed down, and the whole world suddenly fell silent.
The ancestral spirits in the ancestral hall suddenly changed. A faint golden light emanated from them, quickly sweeping across the entire village.
A radiant barrier appeared at the village's border, and the ancestral spirits in the ancestral hall underwent a transformation.
The transparent, dark gold face opened its eyes, revealing a pained yet clear gaze.
The black, ferocious half of his face became even more excited, filled with a destructive and murderous desire.
oooooooo!
Suddenly, a low wolf howl rang out outside, and a strange black shadow rushed out from the dense forest in the distance, pouncing directly on the village.
It was emanating black mist and was a huge wolf demon with a body length of seven feet, but its body was covered with rotting wounds and pustules, and its eyes were cloudy and ferocious.
It crashed heavily into the golden barrier, creating a violent shockwave that made the entire barrier seem on the verge of collapse.
The ancestral spirit looked towards the direction of the demon wolf, a hint of helplessness flashing in its clear eyes, and slowly raised its right hand.
A ray of golden light transformed into a javelin. He suddenly raised his hand and threw it. The javelin flashed and struck the demon wolf.
"Woo woo..." The wolf, its head pierced, let out a whimper and then fell silent.
The radiance on the ancestral spirit dimmed noticeably, and the black pollution became even more excited, eroding half of his body.
Pain flickered across his clear, half-faced features as he opened his mouth and gasped sharply.
He inhaled wisps of golden incense smoke from every house in the village.
The golden light shone brightly again, and the black pollution was suppressed.
After witnessing the entire process, Li Changshou couldn't help but sigh, "He was also powerless to control his own destiny."
He admired the ancestral spirit for enduring as much pain as possible and absorbing as little incense and prayer power as possible to protect the villagers.
Li Changshou shook his head and turned to leave.
A hoarse voice rang out, "Immortal, please wait!"
