Volume 4: The Other Shore Chapter 968: The devil in the world comes from the heart!
In the new era of Huang Fuchen, except for the Dongtian Daoyu, all living beings in the Daoyu created by Gu Xiaoxing began to become different because of their desires!
The bottleneck that originally hindered the development of life seemed to have disappeared. Driven by desire, life soon underwent diverse changes and actions!
The desire for life allows life to quickly acquire the nature of seeking good and avoiding evil, and to be better able to adapt to everything around it!
Just like the desire for knowledge, it is also an indispensable nature of life. Even if the intelligence of life is still very low, it has gradually learned to explore!
Finally, all the Daoyu in the wasteland began to move towards the trajectory of life evolution in the Dongtian Daoyu. Countless races appeared one after another, they continued to grow and develop, and civilizations were born one after another, and a hundred flowers bloomed!
But after the emergence of civilization, what followed was even greater desires!
And the greatest one is... "longevity"!
Birth, aging, sickness and death are inevitable, and the five signs of decay in heaven and man cannot be reversed!
Especially for those in power, the temptation of immortality is too great, and as the five signs of decay of heavenly beings become more serious, their desire for immortality becomes stronger!
So those in power began to mobilize all their forces to search for the legendary elixir of life!
And the cultivation civilization came into being during this long journey of searching for the elixir of immortality!!
At the same time, in the center of the Desolate Dust, Gu Xiaoxing opened his eyes for the second time, looking at the cultivation civilization born in the cave heaven, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
"There is a way to cultivate the truth, but immortality is hard to come by. If we let them explore, maybe they can find another way to cultivate, which is not impossible!"
"But this road will be very long, too long!"
"In this case, I may not have enough ...!"
After a brief thought, Gu Xiaoxing made a decision and closed his eyes again.
But his will turned into a guide, guiding the monks in the dark, guiding them to a path of cultivation that Gu Xiaoxing had once walked!
Condensing Qi, building foundation, forming elixir...!
Soon, the monks’ gaze was no longer limited to the star they were on, but they looked out towards the sea of stars!
However, a Jindan cultivator can only stay in the starry sky for a short time, but the fire of desire can never be extinguished!
Be it the desire for immortality or the thirst for knowledge, when the first Nascent Soul cultivator appears, the footprints of life officially begin to step into the starry sky!
But at this moment, Gu Xiaoxing opened his eyes for the third time, and his gaze was still towards the Dongtian Daoyu, and at a demon that had just been born in it!
This monster was born from a human mother's womb and was born after ten months of pregnancy. It looks exactly like a human!
But Gu Xiaoxing saw it very clearly, he was the monster!
Sky-gazing demon!
The mother who gave birth to this monster was a maidservant in a third-rate family. However, a maidservant could have sex with the master but could not get pregnant, especially when the wife of the main house was not pregnant yet!
This maid was very smart. She knew that if the lady found out that she was pregnant, she would surely die!
So she stole some of the lady's gold and silver jewelry while she was still undetected, escaped from the family, escaped from the city, then crossed the mountains overnight, and after many twists and turns, she finally escaped to a remote town far away.
But when she gave birth to the baby, she found that the baby was born with disabilities and could not open his eyes or lift his head.
As a mother, she found it difficult to accept this reality, and both her mind and body began to suffer from illnesses.
The mother and son depended on each other in the small town. After a few years, the mother was exhausted by her child, her health deteriorated, and she eventually died of illness!
The little boy stood in front of the bed, with his head down and eyes closed. Tears were streaming but he didn't cry out loud. He just held his mother's hand tightly and remained silent!
He stood quietly in the dark night all night long, but the day would dawn and the long night in his heart would have no end.
Although the little boy cannot see, in this world, if there is less of a piece in the east, there will be more of a piece in the west.
Therefore, he is very smart and much smarter than his peers.
So, he understands many things!
So, he hated himself!
The boy actually didn’t want to look at the sky. He just wanted to take a look at his mother, even after her death, to remember what she looked like!
But once the boy has the thought of opening his eyes, infinite terror will befall him and he will be unable to open his eyes!
At dawn, a Taoist priest passing by saw that although the little boy was blind, he had great talent for spiritual practice, so he took him away.
The boy, the demon looking up at the sky, embarked on the path of spiritual practice. A few years later, he returned to the third-rate family where his mother originally belonged, killed everyone, and eventually became a big devil!
After seeing through the past and future of this Sky-gazing Demon at a glance, Gu Xiaoxing slowly withdrew his gaze. He did not intervene, nor did he have any intention of killing this Sky-gazing Demon.
Since he hasn't opened his eyes yet, he is not Yaotian!
Moreover, this Sky-gazing Demon was too weak, so weak that he was not even qualified to be a chess piece of Yaotian!
He is just one of the countless people in the world!
"There has never been a demon in the world. The demon...is born from the heart!"
Gu Xiaoxing closed his eyes again, but as the voice fell, his thoughts of Tao also turned into a calamity that befell all living beings in the entire wasteland!
This calamity is caused by the heart, and only those with a firm heart will not be affected. As for those with an unstable heart, once they are affected by this calamity, their heart will collapse at best, or even be shattered to pieces at worst!
There are also those who have an extremely firm faith in Taoism, but are unwilling to let go of the endless obsessions in their hearts. As a result of this calamity, they fall and become demons!
At this point, sentient beings have encountered obstacles on the path of cultivation, but they have also tempered their Tao heart and started to go further and further!
Finally, after becoming extremely determined in their faith in the Tao, a cultivator successfully embarked on the second major stage of their cultivation and began to establish their own destiny!
That is... the second ancient realm!
And in each Daoyu, the cultivation civilization has sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and blossomed into brilliant flowers!
Ever since people have been able to roam the starry sky, clashes between civilizations have occasionally occurred, and it can be said that there is a myriad of contending schools of thought!
Gu Xiaoxing also discovered more Sky-gazing Demons in countless universes. It seemed that there was no reason for their appearance and they could be born from all races!
Gu Xiaoxing didn’t understand at first, but as he continued to observe, he finally figured out the clues!
The curse of the Sky-Gazing Demon comes from the long river of time and space itself!
In other words, as long as the long river of time and space still exists, as long as living beings are born in it, then these living beings may become sky-gazing demons!
Even in the future billions of years later, even if the boundless Dao Sea of Gu Xiaoxing covers the entire Desolate Dust and turns it into his own Dao Domain, the speed of evolution of time and even all things within it will increase countless times!
But as long as it is still in the long river of time and space in the universe, the birth of the Sky-Watching Demon cannot be stopped!
This made Gu Xiaoxing look into the distance. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could guess!
The origin of this long river of time and space must be closely related to the supreme and powerful demon!
When Gu Xiaoxing looked at Huang Fuchen again, and looked at the first Lord of Life and Death that appeared in it, his eyes suddenly became extremely indifferent, and an infinite rhythm of life and death was intertwined in his eyes!
His thoughts of the Tao once again turned into a calamity, befalling the entire desolate world!
"This era... should end!"
