Volume 9: Star Cave Chapter 93 I wish you all a happy life!

Of course, there are still some other requirements before using this ability, otherwise it will only pollute one's own mind and turn good things into bad things.

In Dongshanshi's past mind, he gave a dark soul gem to Lu Bai, and the purpose was actually to test him.

This soul gem is essentially made up of the souls of at least tens of thousands of stone men.

And in this way, Lu Bai was able to bypass numerous restrictions and reach the place where the abyss primordial liquid was refined without being discovered by the holy spirits.

More importantly, it gave Lu Bai a way to absorb the abyss fluid.

Only individuals with the original abyss in their souls are qualified to carry the original fluid of the abyss.

But it's just a qualification.

Carrying the abyss fluid also has many side effects.

For example, the influence of the abyss on the soul increases dramatically, making you no longer yourself.

Including Dongshan Stone, it actually experienced a similar thing.

In the "original" state, before he carried the abyss fluid, he was also in some kind of chaos.

Dongshanshi has never awakened to become a holy spirit or an awakened being.

However, with his special spiritual talent, he was even able to split his own mind into two and hide the chaotic part, so that the holy spirits could not discover the internal problems.

He then successfully took over the Abyss Liquid.

But at that moment, the problems in his heart broke out as he was infected by the abyss fluid.

And at the critical moment, Linji and the Herd intervened.

Among the beasts, there are countless stone men, whose only desire is to survive.

And at the critical point, the change of the mind is activated.

These two changes made Dongshanshi's heart fall into complete despair.

He could certainly clear away those disturbances, implement the plans of the Holy Spirits, and then follow the Holy Spirits back to the Holy Land, from then on become a god or Buddha and enjoy eternity.

But he can't do it!

He could not ignore the countless stone men who died tragically because of him and became victims.

Their skin is stone, but their hearts are solid flesh and blood.

That's why Dongshanshi's actions happened and why everything was destroyed.

Perhaps out of regret, or perhaps to make up for it, Dongshan Shi later came up with a way to avoid contamination of the abyss liquid to the greatest extent possible.

That was the soul gem that Lu Bai had in his hand.

The main material for extracting the abyss fluid basically comes from the stone man.

Therefore, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.

The origin of the stone people is the abyss, which is why they were particularly prone to losing control and degenerating into demons in the past.

But before losing control, the stone men did possess normal thinking ability and rationality, such as Dongshan Shi himself.

In this case, the abyss fluid can actually be regarded as the collective origin of the stone men.

Then, with this collective power, we can in turn restrain the Original and keep it in the state it was in before the Stone Man lost control.

If you had looked carefully before, you would have discovered that the original position in the dragon's soul had been replaced by a huge soul gem at some point in time.

Of course, there is no real soul in this soul gem.

All the souls had died, and only the remaining souls of some stone men remained.

This mind disguised itself as the Soul Gem.

Originally, it was just a driving force for the change of the soul.

Then when the mind reaches a certain level, it can also become a driving force.

When Dongshan Shi gave the soul gem to Lu Bai, he actually had this idea in mind.

If Lu Bai wants to carry the abyss liquid, he needs to first transform the stone man's spiritual power into a driving force, place it into his soul, and then use this driving force to balance the abyss liquid.

If he doesn't do this, Lu Bai is likely to lose control. After all, the soul is not Lu Bai's own. Lu Bai is just a projection of his mind on it.

Once it gets out of control, even if the other party successfully evolves into a magic dragon, it will only be a native magic dragon in the spiritual world and will have nothing to do with Lu Bai.

All of Lu Bai's requests will fail.

This is the test that Dongshan Stone gave to Lu Bai, and it is also the last way of survival he is looking for these stone men.

Dongshan Shi used this method to place part of the remaining stone man's mind into the dragon's soul.

Then, after Lu Bai absorbed the abyss liquid, it was actually equivalent to obtaining some of the permissions that Dongshan Shi had once obtained from his mind.

This can tear apart Dongshanshi's mind that is obsessed with the past and let the real him reappear.

This is also the reason why Lu Bai thought Dongshan Shi’s previous condition was abnormal.

He went mad the day he took over the Abyss Liquid, and even after his death, he was still obsessed with the past.

What Lu Bai came into contact with at first was just a small part of Dongshan Shi's spiritual will that had not yet gone mad. When he collided with it and tore open his spiritual world, Dongshan Shi finally woke up.

However, even though Dongshan Shi had truly awakened, he still couldn't walk out, or was unwilling to walk out.

Instead, the possibility of survival is still left to those stone men.

This is how the Heart was born.

It has to be said that in the Star Cave, the difficulty of resurrecting ordinary individuals is much lower than that of Dongshan Stone or even those special individuals.

The problem is that ordinary individuals cannot even realize that they are dead, let alone find a way to revive themselves.

But with the help of Dongshan Shi and Lu Bai, those stone men seem to have a real possibility of resurrection.

"If you want to use the [Heart], then you need to carry the hearts of those stone men to a certain extent."

"It might be troublesome for others, but I don't have any big problems." Lu Bai sensed the mind and gradually came up with an idea.

The Hanguang Cave was opened, and the ability of the [Heart] was enabled and loaded. It was during the loading process, when a large amount of mental power burst out from it, that some blank soul boxes in Lu Bai's Hanguang Cave emitted a suction force.

In order to create the demon, Lu Bai thought of many ways.

For example, the Dahua dimension has basically become the source base of the demons.

In addition, demons appear in other dimensions.

With the appearance of the Demon Control Sutra and the Tongxuan Book, as well as the special module [Guidance] extracted by Lu Bai from the Earth's Fantasy Ocean, they were gradually integrated into the Hanguang Cave Heaven.

Gradually, some celestial demons were able to ascend to the heavenly realm of Hanguang Cave and become celestial demons.

However, for now, the ascension channel for the Heavenly Demons is not very stable. In addition, Lu Bai is still in the Star Cave, and his connection with the underworld is somewhat weak, so the ascension channel is unilaterally closed.

Those demons who were able to ascend were also notified and had to wait for a while.

Under Si Mo's supervision, the ascension passage currently requires a trip through the underworld.

With the help of Lu Bai's own relationship with the underworld, those ascending souls came to Hanguang Cave in the form of dreams.

However, there is no need to go through this formal channel for the souls of the stone men in our hands now.

Their problem now is that only their minds are left, and their souls are just virtual creations of Dongshanshi using his mental power.

Lu Bai still needs to find a way to fill their souls.

But it is not without benefits. The original souls of these hearts all come from the abyss. They are actually just like the people in the devil's land and are more likely to become demons.

In particular, they were placed into the soul of the evil dragon and underwent that kind of soul transformation.

Therefore, at present, as long as one fills the vacancy in the soul, he can become a demon.

Lu Bai had previously used the technology of outer souls to create the incarnation of souls, that is, he borrowed the souls of other people in the underworld that were about to dissipate.

Although this technology has gradually become outdated, Lu Bai now has better technical means.

But unfortunately, Lu Bai now has no materials to use, whether it is old technology or new technology. After all, this place is located in the Star Cave, and many things are not so convenient.

Therefore, these stone men can only be stored in soul boxes as soul fragments.

Lu Bai can guarantee that these stone men will become the backbone of the demons in the future.

Of course, due to various reasons of the Star Cave, these stone men can only survive as dependent individuals in the future, and they can't even truly become independent from Lu Bai.

Dongshan Shi naturally noticed this and nodded.

This is already the best result. After all, when they were alive, it was extremely difficult to survive.

The stone men thus became dependent individuals attached to Lu Bai. Perhaps many people thought they had no freedom, but at least it was much better than before. At least they could... survive!

In the abyss, survival is just a trick of the devil.

After arriving in the holy land, survival is just an illusion given by the Holy Spirit.

At the critical point, what survives is only the twisted thoughts bred from them.

For the beasts, the only thing that survives is the act of survival itself.

From the very beginning, staying alive was a luxury for them.

It’s so great that after dying and arriving in the Star Cave, they can still meet Lu Bai who gives them a glimmer of hope!

With this last thought, Dongshan Shi gradually fell into silence, and then slowly faded away. Within his mind, everything began to repeat itself.

Lu Bai broke his past and took away his only hope.

He could only die quickly here, but it was all worth it.

Watching Lu Bai's scarlet dragon body leave here, Dongshan Shi returned to his life place with a smile.

"Let my last dream not be so embarrassing!"

The past in the mind reappears once again.
