The strength of one's soul depended entirely on one's willpower. One had to be fearless in the face of danger, to be intoxicated but not confused, and to be able to endure pain, loneliness, boredom, and pressure. When one's willpower was not guided by external objects, one would be able to achieve a state where one had nothing to rely on and roam infinitely.
Zhang Kui stood quietly. The blood that flowed out of the wound returned to the wound and healed quickly. His originally dark skin shone with specks of starlight, and a colorful halo surrounded his body.
The red was the brilliant fire, the green was the vigorous wood, the yellow was the heavy earth, and the green was the gentle water … There were also countless small black vortexes circulating in the halo, which were pure dark energy.
The energy of heaven and earth sensed his existence and flocked to him. The gray chaotic evil energy and the purple space-time energy began to appear one by one.
His indifferent eyes looked at the shattered Buddha statue and faintly felt the prying from another world. It was the prying of another kind of god, with a cold and oppressive aura of death.
In the early days of human society, the initial concept of gods was established because of the fear of death. Later, people deified all things and things that were beyond the reach of human strength. Gradually, the uncontrollable forces of nature evolved into gods. For example, fire, wind, water, and the sun were directly personified. People believed that these natural phenomena had their own will and life. Later on, even animals and plants were deified …
In the era of science and prosperity, many things that were thought to be impossible were realized by humans one after another. People no longer feared gods, and gods also became not scary. Then, the existence of gods began to be questioned, and some people began to change from belief to materialism.
However, with the further research of science, many coincidences and inexplicable phenomena all hinted at a higher level of existence. There seemed to be a strong will in the unseen world. It was not limited by the laws of nature, but was instead higher than the laws of nature. At the same time, it dominated the material world and could directly or indirectly influence the material world.
In today's Great Evolution Era, all kinds of things in legends were gradually becoming true. The converted energy of fire, wind, and water were not just energy. They also had their own will. The relationship between humans and nature was further integrated. Humans could study nature in depth, and also further peek into the power of the Creator.
He turned to look at the two people in the cage. With a wave of his hand, the cage that was harder than steel immediately shattered. After breaking away from the shackles of the original body, the psychokinesis field became even stronger. This was because psychokinesis came from the soul. For the soul, the body could protect it from the invasion of external energy, but it was also a shackle that bound and imprisoned it.
The body was changing, but the soul was eternal. It could be compared to the universe. The macroscopic universe was complex and changeable, but the microscopic particles that made up the universe would never change.... This was the true meaning of the ancient religions of the universe.
Gan Zhi and the other man were stunned. They opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but he turned around and left indifferently.
After a long time, Ma Xiaojia muttered, "He's not Zhang Kui."
Gan Zhi had already seen that person's state just now was like that of a god. He did not know why, but he felt that person gave him a familiar feeling, as if he had seen him somewhere before. However, he could not find anything even after searching through all his memories.
Ma Xiaojia suddenly said, "He also has a glow. He's a human."
Gan Zhi was stunned and asked doubtfully, "Since he's a human, why … why did he become Zhang Kui?"
Ma Xiaojia pointed at the space between her eyebrows and said softly, "If the glow between our eyebrows is a candle flame, then the glow between his eyebrows is the sun. It's eternal."
…
Luo Kai was still a little unaccustomed to being treated as another person. He touched his short bald head and kicked his thick thighs. He tried to activate the psychokinesis field and slowly levitated into the air.
The sunlight that was full of ultraviolet rays shone on his skin, causing him to feel numb and itchy, which made him feel very uncomfortable. The ultraviolet light was actually a type of light energy, and it was an extremely pure light energy. It was specially used to target life forms with Yin attributes. Strictly speaking, he was now a lonely soul possessing another person's body. Naturally, he would be affected by this kind of radiation.
Zhang Kui's consciousness was still there, but it was in a state of deep hibernation. His soul power was too strong, and this body was not enough to accommodate it. If he occupied Zhang Kui's body for a long time, it would probably squeeze out his consciousness. Therefore, he had to return to Mount Juyuan in Shangjing as soon as possible and find his body.
About two hours later, he had already left the Ao Long Mountain Range. He slowly landed and saw a small county in front of him.
This was the northernmost region, and it was still very far away from Shangjing. This body could not use the geomagnetic gravity, and could only use the psychokinesis field to fly. The speed was very slow. It was okay to fly at low altitudes for short and medium distances, but it would consume a lot of energy for a long time. It was best to find a means of transportation.
The sky was already dark, and the small county town was the same as other human cities. It was surrounded by a ten-meter-high city wall, and the houses and shops on the deserted streets were all closed. Occasionally, there would be a few pedestrians, but they were all in a hurry. When Luo Kai approached them, these people seemed to be frightened and quickly ran away.
After walking around, he finally saw a shop with lights on outside. There seemed to be people inside, so he walked over.
It was a restaurant. Luo Kai knocked on the door. After a long time, a short and fat young man opened the door. He pulled out a pistol from his waist and asked cautiously, "What's the matter?"
Luo Kai asked softly, "I'm sorry to disturb you. What is the name of this place? Is there a rail car or airship that connects to Shangjing?"
"This is Jichen County. There is a lying down coach that goes to Guangyuan Prefecture, and there is an airship that goes to Shangjing." After the short and fat young man finished speaking, he hurriedly closed the door.
Luo Kai turned around and found an eave to sit down. He quietly recovered his spiritual power, and at the same time, he felt the state of this body. This body was very solid, and it was obvious that his physical cultivation was very good. The earth and fire energies were all over his body, but they did not repel each other. If he did not die, his future would be limitless.
After a while, the door of the restaurant suddenly opened again. The short and fat young man poked his head out and shouted at him, "Hey, do you have a place to go tonight?
If you don't have a place to go, you can stay here for the night. "
Luo Kai smiled and shook his head, "No, I can stay outside."
The short and fat young man was a little angry. He scolded with a straight face, "Now, there will be strange things at night. If you really don't want to live, go and join the army. It's better than being eaten by strange things!"
Luo Kai no longer refused. He stood up and said, "Thank you."
The short and fat young man's name was Guan Peng. He was the chef of this restaurant. He took Luo Kai to the back kitchen. The basement used to store sundries was transformed into a bedroom. There was a small coal stove burning. It was very simple but also very warm.
"Brother, you can stay here for the night. Don't let the coal stove burn out. I live upstairs. Call me if you need anything."
Luo Kai nodded and said, "Thank you." Seeing Guan Peng was about to turn around and leave, he asked, "Can you tell me about these strange things?"
Guan Peng hesitated for a moment, then turned around and sat at the head of the bed. He sighed and said, "It seems that you must have lived in a big city before. You still don't know how powerful these strange things are. About three months ago, a lot of people suddenly died in a residential area in our county. Rumor has it that there was a malicious spirit causing trouble. Then, people kept dying in the county. Some people suddenly went crazy and bit their own people. Horrifying cries could be heard throughout the county at night. Many people died every night. Later, the higher-ups told us not to turn off the fire at night.
Luo Kai nodded and continued to ask, "Are you nervous about eating?"
"Nervous. Now the grain output is very low. Fortunately, our Guangyuan county is a big ranch. There is no shortage of meat."
After Guan Peng left, Luo Kai lay on the shabby wooden bed and pondered. It seems that although the situation continues to deteriorate, it hasn't reached the point of no return. Finally, he looked at the small coal stove and waved his hand to extinguish it.
At the moment when the light was turned off, there seemed to be a black shadow flashing through the basement's only vent.
Luo Kai's eyes flashed with a trace of cold light. With the experience of having an out-of-body experience, he was able to experience another kind of life form. For human beings, ghosts seem strange and terrifying, but in fact they are not powerful. Fire, light, wind, sound and other natural forms of energy are their great enemies.
A burst of cold wind brushed past his neck. It was as if someone was blowing on his neck from behind. If it was an ordinary person, he would have hurriedly turned around. But Luo Kai's face didn't change. He continued to lie on the bed as if he didn't feel anything.
After he closed his eyes, a black mist-like ghostly figure appeared in the room. It was the figure of an old woman. She was about to make a move, but a sense of danger rose in her heart. This human in front of her seemed to be very powerful.
She circled around in the air. The aura of the human in front of her was somewhat similar to that of ghosts. After a moment, she couldn't resist the desire for life essence. She floated to Luo Kai's face. Her nose moved slightly, and a pair of sharp teeth protruded from the side of her mouth.
At this time, the human in front of her suddenly opened his eyes. A pair of black vortex-like pupils stared at her. She couldn't help but become sluggish. Then the human suddenly opened his mouth and bit her soul body. He tore out a large piece of her soul body and swallowed it without chewing.
She wanted to escape in fear, but she found that her soul seemed to have been paralyzed. She couldn't move at all, and she couldn't even make a sound. She could only watch as her formless ghost body was eaten by the other party piece by piece until it completely disappeared.
