Luo Kai didn't expect that his words would cause the marriage between the Three-Eyed Race and the Royal Family to fail.
He was too lazy to care about these mundane things. Now, the supreme "Dao" was his only goal.
Humans evolved from animals. If they wanted to go further, they had to eliminate their bestial nature and forget their human nature. Only then would they have the qualifications to step on the path of the Heavenly Dao and move closer to divinity.
Bestial nature referred to the instinctive desire at the beginning of life, while human nature referred to some complicated emotions and thoughts. As the saying went, "Love is a sin. Extreme wisdom leads to injury. Deep love leads to death." These things were necessary for survival and reproduction, but they were also the shackles that bound life!
…
Luo Kai came to the University of Shang Jing and went to the Ruifeng Valley where he had stayed before.
The small wooden building that he and Tuoba Yong built was still there. Everything was the same as before. The only difference was that this small valley didn't have lush fields. Instead, it was replaced by a large patch of weeds.
Yun Shan stood quietly beside the small building. His gem-like bright eyes looked at him with a smile.
"Teacher, long time no see."
Luo Kai slowly landed and respectfully bowed. There weren't many people in this world that he respected from the bottom of his heart. Yun Shan was one of them.
This old man was completely worthy of the title of "Saint Master." In the Taoist philosophy, the so-called Dao of Saints was to not fight. Therefore, no one in the world could compete with him!
The Dao of Saints was to stand on a higher level. Everything could be done, but not to fight.
Winning without fighting was to help others, but to achieve oneself.
This was the way of thinking of Saints, the true wisdom.
Yun Shan looked him up and down and said in surprise, "Little guy, you gave me a big surprise!"
"I have to thank Teacher for the Book of the Universe."
Luo Kai bowed. Although he rarely looked at the specific inheritance memories in the Book of the Universe, the Taoist philosophy it contained had already been deeply ingrained in his heart.
Taoism was different from Buddhism. It emphasized gentleness. This was not only the way of living, but also another state of the energy of Heaven and Earth. It was for all things to be negative Yin and embrace Yang.
In other words, any material energy was the product of the conflict between Yin and Yang, including all kinds of soil, rocks, trees, wind, light, and lightning.
Yun Shan stroked his long white beard and said, "Little guy, you've achieved the Saintly Being so early. It's rare that you're so calm. You've really got the taste of Taoism."
Luo Kai sighed. He came to Shangjing this time because he had some doubts in his heart, which was what the Buddhists called confusion.
"What's wrong?
Could it be that there are some things that you don't understand after becoming a Saint Body? "Yun Shan asked with a smile.
Luo Kai thought for a moment and decided to ask the question in his heart. In the Realm of Shattered Spirit, the little golden man had said that he was the Thunder God. He had always doubted it, but as he learned more about the nature of energy, he slowly felt that he might be just as the little golden man said.
The essence of a God was to completely merge with a certain type of energy law. The law was me, and "I" was the law. In that case, whether or not one's own independent will existed was meaningless.
He looked up at the stars in the sky and asked, "Master, if the end of evolution is to completely merge with the Way of Heaven, then does my existence have no meaning?"
Yun Shan's expression froze. He stared at him again for a while. His face was a little bewildered. He thought for a while and said, "Come with me."
The two walked into the small building. There was a portrait hanging in the hall. It was a man with long hair. He stood on the peak of a mountain, facing the wind. His clothes fluttered in the wind. The mountain breeze blew, and he seemed like he wanted to ride the wind back. He was extremely otherworldly.
"Who is this?"
Luo Kai faintly felt that this person was somewhat familiar. It was like someone he was very close to, but he couldn't remember who it was.
Yun Shan looked back at him and said solemnly, "This is you."
Luo Kai's mind was shaken. He couldn't even control his emotions. Wind and clouds immediately gathered in the sky. The rock layers deep in the ground also began to move restlessly. Waves of dull rumbling sounds rose and fell.
For a moment, it felt as if the wind and clouds changed color and the earth was shaking.
His mind also contained the endless changes of the world. When it was quiet, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle. When it was chaotic, there was thunder and rain. When it was gloomy, there were dark clouds. The seven emotions and six desires were unpredictable.
At this point, any of his thoughts could instantly cause the frequency of the world to resonate.
When he was angry, there would be thunder rolling outside, shaking the world. When he was lonely, there would be ice outside, and everything would be bleak.
If he couldn't control it, it would be a disaster for the world.
Yun Shan also didn't think that there would be such a big result. His eyes immediately flashed with green light. He shouted, "Wake up!"
Luo Kai's thoughts returned. He forcefully suppressed the restlessness of his body and mind. The strange weather outside gradually calmed down.
He looked at the portrait in a daze and said, "This is me?"
Yun Shan let out a sigh of relief. He was secretly shocked. This little guy grew too quickly. He already had divinity, or it could be said that he almost touched the Way of Heaven.
Some things were too fast, and it wasn't a good thing. He frowned deeply and said in a deep voice, "Little guy, I don't know how you came back from the dead. I also don't know what you experienced after that, but you must have lost something."
Luo Kai lowered his head to look at himself. His white skin was like a beautiful jade, and there were strands of starlight faintly shining through it.
Under his Mind's Eye, it was actually more like a translucent crystal. His internal organs, blood, and bones were all moving closer to granulation. If nothing unexpected happened, when the granulation of his body was completed, he would be reborn again and become a divine spirit.
He raised his head to look at the portrait again. He actually couldn't recognize his previous self. Or it could be said that he had lost the memory of his own appearance in his mind!
He couldn't help but ask, "What did I lose?"
Yun Shan shook his head and said, "Or it could be said that you were modified by something. The evolution of any life form is a gradual process. This process can take hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years. It can't be done in one go. Your progress is too fast. This doesn't make sense!"
Luo Kai's expression returned to normal. Although he hadn't reached the extraordinary realm where he wouldn't be happy with external things or sad for himself, he wouldn't be so easily shaken by some things.
He closed his eyes and searched through the memories in his mind. With his current willpower, it could be said that his memories of the past were all clear, including the memories from when he was in his mother's womb. Soon, he found a blurry image. Some of his memories were indeed blocked by some kind of power. It seemed like the other party didn't want him to discover anything strange.
But since he had already been discovered, it was naturally quickly washed away.
What he cultivated was a kind of "Way" that simulated the operation of the universe. Everything in the small universe of his body had to be guided by his own will. To him, his will was the Way of Heaven!
After a while, Luo Kai opened his eyes and said, "Master, I think I know what's going on. I need to go into seclusion for a while."
Yun Shan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't say it. Instead, he said, "Okay, then you can go into seclusion here."
After Yun Shan left, Luo Kai looked at himself in the portrait. To be more precise, he looked at the person's palm in the portrait. There was a different finger there. It looked like a normal finger, but it was actually a crystal finger, a finger that was parasitized by an unknown creature.
For a long time, this finger didn't bring him any trouble or inconvenience. Of course, it didn't seem to bring him any benefits either, causing him to almost forget its existence.
Now that he was reminded by Yun Shan, he realized his abnormality. His memories and consciousness were affected by some kind of mysterious existence, so much so that he almost forgot his original appearance, and also this crystal finger.
The greatest power of the gods was that they could understand and change the nature of their bodies. They could tamper with gene fragments, or reorganize the composition of matter, to achieve the ability to avoid birth, old age, sickness, and death.
In other words, this crystal finger was most likely a God's Finger. It had been subtly changing the structure of his body. It might even have something to do with the fact that he was able to reform his body after being killed by the Evil God.
