Myriad Paths

The colorless world collapses——

The universe should originally be a void, with nothing in it.

But at this moment, all matter was turbulent.

The devil's wild laughter moved silently in all the energy.

This time, it is no longer the demon that sneaked out before, and it is no longer the demon that can only invest a very small part of its power.

But a real, complete demon.

All living things... that is, all living things, every life with "emotion" and "high intelligence", including highly intelligent AI life, including inorganic life, including cluster intelligence and Gestalt civilization, all of which have The life of thinking ability, from gods to mortals——

Each of them felt at this moment that their emotions were 'enriched' a lot.

Originally, everything in the universe was so magnificent.

However, many lives do not feel the joy and spectacular scenes from it, because they have seen too much and have become numb.

We are so tired of seeing the spectacular spectacle happening over and over again in the universe that we are no longer curious about the wonders.

In fact, these practitioners were exhausted and disenchanted.

For hundreds of millions of years, countless practitioners have either voluntarily or been forced to observe the fate of many worlds. At the same time, they have also experienced their own fate and become the objects of observation by others.

You looked at me, I looked at you, and by the end, no one thought there was anything strange about it.

So many joys and sorrows may be novel to young people, but to these immortals, these have been repeated countless times.

Therefore, many immortals, after experiencing a long life, have even lost interest in pursuing the path. They are too lazy to listen to the verbosity of the universe and simply let their attention drift randomly in the void.

The flow of time is unusual in this boring life.

However, at this moment, everything changed.

These immortals who had long lost their motivation suddenly had ‘desire’ at this moment.

Their world suddenly became more colorful.

They have rekindled their interest in the world, want to taste delicious food, read stories, and experience emotions. The lake in their hearts that had long dried up is now welling up with sweet springs.

They stood up, looked around at the boring and unfamiliar desolate scenery, listened to the thin and sharp sound of the wind, and the slowly passing time and aching thoughts made them more and more panicked.

The time that I was used to taking for granted has now become... so painful.

They ignited desires, such as appetite, lust, curiosity, and conquest. These desires gave them motivation and forced them to act.

Just like when you are hungry, you will desperately look for something to eat.

These desires themselves are the driving force of life and the color of the universe.

Without desire, you lose motivation, and you will lie there without wanting to do anything. If you are an ordinary life, you will die because of this, and you will even be too lazy to move after death, because he has no desire to live anymore.

And if they are immortals, they will not even die, they will just lie there and wait for time to pass.

But they were a little tired of it.

What does it matter?

Before that, they didn't even care whether they could complete this journey. What did the scenery outside mean?

But now, everyone's heart was filled with intense vitality. They stood up one after another, and a kind of passion returned to them.

And for those practitioners who have not lost their desires and are still working hard, their desires have become even more intense!

The lives of all species are exuding passion at this moment.

One by one, the vitality of the worlds and the observable universes began to expand.

This is a good thing.

With the rapid development of science and technology, technological explosions began to appear. Everyone began to show their desires and everyone was full of motivation. Art, technology, and even all kinds of things exploded vigorously.

Desire is motivation! And motivation will push life to create more and more miracles.

Plants are more prosperous, competition between animals and plants is more intense, and even wild beasts are full of power.

One by one, the world began to ignite curiosity about the universe and began to travel across the vast ocean of the universe.

Their families also shouted out to those expedition ships:

"I send you happy wishes for those of you who are traveling across the stars!"

But it's not all good.

Because of the explosive growth of desire, many cosmic empires were born. They were crazy and vicious and spread everywhere. Wars between giants and wars that had nothing to do with moral disputes began to roar.

Huge planets fly around in space at alarming speeds, killing each other.

Even, not only the civilization itself, if you dive into the water or soil of some planets, you can also see several luminous microorganisms twitching.

Even microorganisms have begun to expand this desire.

The war has begun.

The war of all against all, a war that never ends, a war driven by desire.

Amidst the roar of war artillery fire and the jingle of swords clashing, there seemed to be the snickering of the devil.

But this is what mortals see.

In the eyes of beings with reality, things are even more terrifying.

Especially those above level three, they can see it more clearly.

As we all know, life does not only live in one world, but spreads across millions of worlds and hundreds of billions of worlds.

Each world has its historical evolution, its values, that is, their "Tao". These "Taos" will explore the possibility of ultimately pursuing happiness in its unique living environment.

In this universe, there will be countless kinds of happiness, countless kinds of benefits, and countless kinds of different understandings.

Moreover, these countless worlds will also produce countless branches, which are ‘world lines’.

The number of world lines is unlimited.

The possibilities for secondary branching paths for each worldline are also endless.

Therefore, the number of world lines observed and changed by the third-level people is infinite.

At the same time, the number of world lines without third-grade observation and interference is also unlimited.

The number of world lines that have been partially interfered with by the third-grade people and then abandoned is still unlimited.

Within this infinity within infinity, there naturally exist infinite beings.

This is a super large number that even Konard's arrow cannot reach, and it is truly infinite.

However, all this ‘infinity’ is filled up at this moment.

All infinity follows the infinite demon.

All possibilities, all world lines, and all the creatures in them, at this moment, have a 'devil' of their own.

They sometimes ‘talk to themselves’.

Of course, they think they are talking to themselves, but in fact... they are talking to the devil in their hearts.

They asked themselves and their hearts.

But the most terrifying thing is this. They asked their hearts, and their "hearts" responded. They thought that was their answer...

In fact, even the thoughts themselves were uttered by the demon, and even practitioners could not tell whether they were their own thoughts.

Everyone may be the puppet of the demon, although they all know nothing about it and they all think they are normal.

Now, the idea of ​​the whole universe, a fully awakened spiritual world, seems to be realized at this very moment, and the demons have completely enveloped the spiritual world.

In the past, in the world of pure spirituality, giant beasts roamed, and Li Qi was one of them, and the demon kings and demon kings searched for prey in it unscrupulously.

Those primitive mortals would use means such as "dreams", "drugs" and "meditation" to let their spirits penetrate into the world of pure thinking, while the demonic way and the spiritual way are like giants entrenched in pure thinking. Beasts are just some gentle and some violent.

Mortals sometimes receive revelations, and other times they induce nightmares.

No one knows what the consequences of sneaking into dreams will be. This kind of spiritual pollution may even come to civilization and completely destroy the entire civilization. The pollution from the spiritual world is also extremely terrifying.

But it may also bring about the rebirth of civilization, and obtain forbidden knowledge that is never possible under normal circumstances from the hands of some friendly dream beings.

But now, in this world that only belongs to ideas, a true overlord beast has descended.

Is there a perfect spiritual world that can understand and savor the existence of this farce?

The answer is unknown.

But I think the risk of diving into the spiritual world will be much greater in the future.

The moment the demon threw away all the seals and reappeared, Li Qi also felt something.

The realm of desire within the body is about to stir.

Moreover, he also felt some kind of calling——!

As a result, Wu Xian's power spread.

The power from Huanglong also appeared.

The power of a first-grade human being also looked at Li Qi.

The Five Aggregates Demon also seemed to pay a little attention.

The Haotian Daoyun on Li Qi, that is, Yao Ji, suddenly acted as a coordinate, projecting the power from Haotian.

It seems that everyone is waiting for something.

Li Qidu couldn't help but sigh. Is it really him again?

Is this all brought about by the desire realm in the body?

He was so powerless that he could only pause his deduction and turn his attention to the big figures around him who were projecting power.

However, at this time, in the colorless world...

At this time, a voice spread throughout the heavens: "How good! How good! Good man, now I have obtained all kinds of wisdom. How can I hear it without hearing it? The so-called deep and subtle treasures, all living beings have Buddha nature. There is no difference between Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.”

At that time, all the gods and humans were in great terror, and their body hair stood on end.

The hairs on the bodies of all the great Bodhisattvas were raised, their mouths and tongues were dry, they were frightened and trembling, and they all wanted to scatter. They saw that their bodies had no more light, and all their majesty and virtue had been wiped out.

All the disciples of the Buddha, Shariputra, Maudgalyana, etc., raised their hands and beat their chests, howled and cried, their limbs trembled and could not control themselves, blood flowed from the pores of their bodies to the ground, and the blood all over their bodies was as luxurious as a polo, and their eyes were full of tears and they were in great distress. .

Just one sentence.

At this moment when all the first-class people in the universe gathered in front of Li Qi, it seemed that something terrible had happened in Buddhism.

All the Buddhas sighed together: "What a pain! What a pain! The world is empty! The Tathagata will reach parinirvana soon!"

The World Honored Tathagata is about to perish.

After this moment, the first-class people who were still paying attention to Li Qi disappeared.

While Li Qi shook his head, he also felt relaxed.

However, the moment he relaxed, he immediately sat up again, with a cold sweat breaking out all over his body!

Only then did Li Qi realize something belatedly!

Everyone, including the Yipins and Li Qi, thought that the Demon and the Realm of Desire were plotting something against Li Qi.

However, they all guessed wrong.

You can guess what happened at this moment...

The devil has tricked all of them!

———————————

World Honored One.

The strongest and most important ‘Buddha’, the source of all Buddhism, is revered as ‘Buddha’.

When he was in the second level, he finally became enlightened despite the interference of the demons.

At the first level, he suppressed the four demons at the same time and then sealed the heavenly demon.

That's how it exists.

When the Formless Realm declared its destruction, he also announced his own ‘annihilation’.

All the first-grade, second-grade, and even third-grade people were in extreme shock.

All the first-class people poured in.

At this moment, the time and space where the Formless Realm is located is the most lively place in the entire universe.

No matter how busy the third grade was, even when faced with a life-and-death crisis, they all chose to stop. Whether it was enemies or war, they all gave up what they were doing and witnessed the most terrifying scene in the universe with their own eyes.

The first grade fell.

This is the most terrifying thing since the Taoist War.

The World-Honored Tathagata, who everyone had never thought of, and who everyone thought would be absolutely fine, has now... actually passed away.

Everyone is gathered here.

The World-Honored One Tathagata sits cross-legged on a lotus and emits various lights from his face. The bright lights are green, yellow, red, white, glass, and agate, illuminating all three thousand great Buddha realms.

Shariputra sat in front of the Buddha, weeping and choking.

The World-Honored One caressed Shariputra's head, smiled and said, "You should be happy and not fearful."

"World Honored One, why did you enter nirvana?" Shariputra calmed down his emotions and looked at the Buddha in front of him, his master.

"Of course it's because of me." The demon appeared among the master and disciple.

The Buddha gently waved his hand and the demon was repelled, but he was not annoyed and just laughed endlessly.

No one interrupted the demon's laughter.

After he had finished laughing, the World Honored One finally spoke and said: "Evil demons transformed into ascetics and entered the monks. They preached all kinds of heresy and caused many sentient beings to fall into wrong views and preach wrong Dharma."

"That's why the World Honored One wants to spread the Dharma and enlighten all sentient beings." Shariputra said immediately.

"That's why I want Nirvana." Buddha interrupted Shariputra.

The World-Honored One put his hands together and recited a verse:

“In all the worlds, all living things must die.

Although lifespan is limitless, your needs must be exhausted.

The three realms are all impermanent, and everything exists and has no happiness.

With the Tao's true nature, everything is empty.

Now that I have entered Nirvana, it is like a fire being extinguished.

The Dharma of all Buddhas is like this, and one should not cry again. "

After saying that... the power of the four demons began to grow explosively.

When the Buddha died, the power of the dead demon increased to an unprecedented level!

Because of this verse, all the suppression of the Dharma of the demon of afflictions and the five aggregates is dissipated.

The demon was even more happy and even started dancing!

The demon danced wildly, causing the surrounding practitioners to become dazzled and confused.

Shariputra was not affected, but clasped his hands together and said, "I wish to achieve nirvana before the World Honored One."
