Human Shackles - Chapter517

Every word in the book was flashing with dazzling electric sparks, as if they were originally written by thunder.

Every word, when Luo Kai looked away and looked at it again, it became different, as if it contained infinite changes.

It was not that the words had changed, but the concept expressed had changed. This feeling was indescribable, it was a kind of high-dimensional spiritual feeling.

All along, no matter what knowledge Luo Kai learned, he could understand it at first glance. Now, looking at the essence of thunder, which contained the truth of heaven and earth, he was a little confused.

It was not the technique itself, but the rules contained in it. He could not understand the rules of this power, it seemed like there were no rules at all.

It was like if you wanted to write a program, you must understand the rules of the program code, but when you encounter something without rules, how to explain it.

Taoism explained the nature of all things, and there was also the word "Yi", which was change. Everything in the world was in the process of development and change. This change was reflected in the mutual transformation of two opposite sides, from yang to yin, from yin to yang. Whether it was nature, life, or the changes of heaven and earth, it was the result of mutual transformation of contradictions.

And the development and change of things was gradual. Once it exceeded the highest stage of development, it would definitely develop in the opposite direction. This was the principle of "when things reach an extreme, they will develop in the opposite direction".

If it was described in programming language, the word "Yi" was uncertainty.

The basis of binary programming was the two sides of things, namely, yin and yang, positive and negative, right and wrong.

And in the essence of Taoism of a higher dimension, there was obviously a kind of programming rule that could be called the ternary system. In between yin and yang, positive and negative, right and wrong, there was an additional word "Yi", which was uncertainty.

It was because of the existence of uncertainty that the originally fixed program became disorderly and could no longer be called a program.

Dao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things. This ternary programming rule might be the legendary Taoism of immortals, it was not something that mortals could comprehend, even Luo Kai who had a preliminary glimpse of the four-dimensional world.

…

The universe was vast and boundless, and the core of the planet contained another world.

Inside the core of the planet, in a canyon surrounded by mountains, dozens of armored vehicles were besieged by countless evil spirits. The roars and gunshots shook the entire valley.

The canyon was densely packed with skeletons and walking corpses, and the sky was filled with countless fog-covered ghosts. The mournful howls made one's scalp tingle.

Being besieged by the ghosts were dozens of armored vehicles that emitted a faint green glow. There were also three large military helicopters hovering in the sky. Hundreds of fully-armed soldiers were using the armored vehicles as cover to break through the encirclement with great difficulty.

The only reason they were not overwhelmed by the ghosts was because of the ultraviolet light emitted by the green light on top of the armored vehicle. Any ghost that came into contact with the light would immediately emit green smoke. Only the skeletons with bodies could last a little longer under the ultraviolet light, but they were also quickly killed by the guns.

The three armed helicopters were also equipped with ultraviolet lights. There was also a silver barrel-like weapon under the helicopter. It was a high-intensity laser launcher.

In recent years, the emergence of electricity gave people a lighter and easier way to store energy. In addition to the discovery of many magical elemental materials, human technology had actually achieved a breakthrough. Now, all they needed was a chance to develop peacefully, even if it was just for a short period of time. Unfortunately, the outside world would not give them peace.

There seemed to be very few hungry ghosts on the surface, but the core of the planet was already overflowing with them, especially in the abyss crack where the two worlds of Yin and Yang intersected. The anti-space invasion was imminent.

The laser launcher was fully charged. Accompanied by the sound of energy gathering, a blinding silver light flashed past, and with a boom, a deep pit appeared in an area where the ghosts were densely packed. A large number of evil spirits were all reduced to ashes.

However, this kind of high-intensity laser launcher required a very long period of time to gather energy. It could only fire once every five minutes. Other than that, they could only use the airborne artillery.

Although the army's weapons were very powerful, it was still difficult to escape in the face of countless ghosts. These ghosts did not have the slightest bit of intelligence. They only attacked crazily, using their bodies to block the army's escape.

Gradually, the speed of their advance became slower and slower. One of the armed helicopters was the first to be destroyed by the ghosts who were not afraid of death. The green light flashed and then extinguished. Then, it was drowned by countless ghosts.

After a while, another two armored vehicles were rushed by the walking dead. The walking dead's target was the ultraviolet light installed above. They did not feel that their bodies were constantly being corroded by the ultraviolet light. After they went up, they used their sharp teeth to madly destroy the light.

The human side had already reached the point of exhaustion. Facing the endless ghosts, everyone's face was filled with despair.

This was the advance team of the Earth's Core. The world in the Earth's Core was different from the outside world. The space was chaotic, and the laws of matter were distorted. It was possible to raise one's foot and walk into the sky, and in the next step, arrive in the dark abyss.

They were in charge of finding an area to build a defensive fortress. They did not expect to be attacked by the ghosts as soon as they entered the Earth's Core. The original team of more than a thousand people was almost wiped out. It seemed that they could not escape either.

The leader of the army was a young man with a cold gaze. He held a long spear in his hand, and his body was covered in purple flames. Wherever he went, everything was turned into charcoal. He was unstoppable among the ghosts.

He looked up at the gray sky from time to time and encouraged loudly, "Senior Sound Saint has gone to find the exit. He should be back soon. Everyone, hold on."

In the center of the valley, the leader of the ghosts was a green-faced ghost wearing an ancient minister's robe. Next to him stood a green-faced, fanged zombie that was four to five meters tall.

Around them were densely packed human-shaped dried corpses. They could vaguely see what they looked like when they were alive. There were men and women, old and young. These people's blood essence had been sucked dry by the ghosts. After they died, they were turned into bloodthirsty walking dead.

This was the terrifying part of the Hungry Ghost Realm's life forms. They could turn living beings into an endless army of the dead.

Time passed slowly. Seeing that the human army was about to be wiped out, suddenly, a silver light streaked across the sky.

"Chirp!"

With a crisp chirp, a faint shadow shuttled through the crowd of zombies. Everywhere it went, everything was pierced. Nothing could stop it.

After circling around, the shadow flew into the sky and landed on the shoulder of a woman with an oval-shaped face.

The shadow was a streamlined bird with green light. Its eyes were as bright as ice crystals. It was about the size of a palm and was delicate and cute.

The woman knocked the bird's head and scolded, "Why are you so timid? Go find someone stronger to kill."

"Chirp chirp," the bird cried out in grievance. Then it turned into a shadow and disappeared into the sky.

The person in the sky quickly attracted the attention of both sides. The green-faced evil ghost in the center of the valley said, "Sound Saint of the human race!"

The tall Zombie King at the side looked up and licked his lips. He said, "This woman is the human Saint that the old Rat King talked about?"

The green-faced evil ghost said with hatred, "That's her. Third brother died in her hands. This person is probably at the peak of the Saint Realm. She's probably equivalent to our Ghost King."

The Zombie King stomped his feet angrily and said, "I'll go and meet her."

The green-faced evil ghost pulled him back and shook his head. "Wait, let's test it with the ghosts first."

Then a small bell appeared in his hand. A crisp sound of the bell spread far away. The sound of fighting in the valley couldn't cover the crisp sound of the bell at all.

The countless rolling Yin Souls began to condense, gradually enveloping the entire sky. A pair of giant palms grabbed at the Qian Sky Brocade.

Qian Kongjin wasn't afraid at all. He pulled out the giant sword on his back that was much larger than his body and rushed up. A great battle between humans and ghosts began.
