Chapter 654: The cage
The black smoke enveloped the huge statue as high as a hundred feet. The black tentacles emitted a cold light in the smoke, wrapping the statue tightly inside. Tentacles rotated at high speed and pierced into the statue. The tentacles rubbed violently with the statue, making a sharp explosion.
The statue trembled even more violently. In the blue eyes as blue as the sea, the terrifying look became more obvious. A sudden muffled sound was made, and the statue instantly shattered and turned into thousands of dust. Countless black tentacles rushed into the statue like snakes, tangling wildly.
In the smoke and dust, there were bursts of angry roars, as if something was struggling violently. Liu Qingwu sneered, and more black tentacles burst out from the smoke, wrapping up layer by layer.
The smoke and dust dissipated, and the hall returned to peace. Liu Qingwu's head floated in the void, and her body disappeared. Layered black tentacles grew out of her head, tightly wrapped around a light blue transparent phantom. The phantom struggled violently, but under the wrapping of the black tentacles, it could not be broken free.
The phantom was the appearance of a young man, looking extremely heroic and powerful. It was exactly the appearance of the statue of the Holy Lord in the hall before. His face was full of unwillingness and despair, and he was twisted hard under the heavy tentacles.
"Holy Lord, don't struggle anymore, you can't escape." Liu Qingwu looked at the phantom of the young man and smiled faintly.
"Who are you and what do you want to do?" The phantom of the young man stopped struggling and looked at Liu Qingwu and said majestic.
"It has reached this point and is still posing in front of me." Liu Qingwu smiled disdainfully, "You should be very clear about what I want to do. Over the years, you have been hiding in this sea area, wanting to get rid of the shackles of this world and reappear in this world. Unfortunately, the energy you have accumulated for countless years will belong to me. Your delusions can only turn into bubbles, haha."
"Humiliating reptile." The young man shouted angrily, "Since you know who I am, you dare to offend my majesty. You are really looking for death. You are just a mortal, but I am a noble god. Why don't you kneel before me and pray for my forgiveness."
"It seems that you have been sleeping for too long. You seem to have forgotten what you did back then. Perhaps the pain can make you more awake and understand the current situation."
Liu Qingwu sneered, and the black tentacles rotated at high speed, desperately penetrated into the inside of the man's phantom. The young man screamed shrillly, with a look of fear on his face, and shouted: "It's him, this is his breath."
"Haha, Holy Lord, you finally remembered it." Liu Qingwu said with a faint smile.
"This is impossible, this is impossible." The young man roared, "He had already fallen ten thousand years ago. He was killed by us with his own hands. Why do you have his breath? Who are you and who are you?"
"He has fallen, but he will still be resurrected because he is the real god. At best, you are just a false god."
Liu Qingwu smiled indifferently and said, "The sky is dead, Huang Tian is here to stand. This world was created by him. Since this world is still running, how could he completely fall? He has already fallen, but he has already calculated everything. In the near future, he will come back to the world with another identity. This identity may be me, or another person, but... you can't see all of this, because at that time, you no longer exist."
"I don't understand." The heroic man roared, "Damn, what the hell is going on? We have obviously killed him, how is this possible."
"It seems that you are indeed a little confused." Liu Qingwu sneered.
"'Everyone is my thought, and one word becomes the world'. Only when a practitioner reaches this level can he truly get rid of life and death and achieve great freedom. This legend has existed on the continent for many years, but it has always been just a legend, and no one has truly reached this level."
"Ten thousand years ago, there were many talents on the mainland, and many talents emerged. God-level powerhouses of the same period as you, and God-level talisman masters emerged one after another. You are one of them. You have reached the peak of your cultivation. What you can hit next is the legendary realm of the world."
"But many years have passed, and the god-level powerful people have grown old one by one, but no one has reached that level. At this moment, someone finally discovered the secret."
After looking at the young man indifferently, Liu Qingwu continued: "This secret is cruel, which makes every god-level strong man feel desperate, because you know that no matter how hard you try, you cannot truly transcend life and death and reach that legendary state."
"The reason is very simple. This world itself does not exist originally. This continent and the billions of creatures above were created by a powerful man. The powerful man reached the state of "Everyone and the earth are all thoughts, and one word becomes the world" and created this world. You live in a world created by others. All the energy comes from this world. How can you create a new world in this world and get rid of life and death?"
"It's like being closed in a solid room, no matter how hard you try, you can't create something bigger than this room."
"This news was passed on and gradually proved that more and more god-level powerhouses recognized this speculation, and more and more people fell into despair."
"At this point, no one does not want to transcend life and death. When you find that you cannot do this, not because you are not smart enough and hard enough, but because you live in a controlled world and cannot get rid of it, despair becomes resentment."
"You have all forgotten that if it weren't for the powerful man who created this world, you wouldn't have existed at all. You just thought again and again, why would I live in such a world?"
"For you, this world has become a cage, a restraining you from being unable to escape the shackles of life and death, and the powerful man who created this world has become your enemy."
"Finally you don't want to give up. You vent all your resentment on the Creator. You want to get rid of this cage and really get rid of life and death."
"So you made a crazy decision, and that was to kill this Creator, and kill this high-ranking being."
The young man in the heroic martial arts kept listening silently, and suddenly said in a low voice: "This is not madness, this is courage. I am still proud of myself to be able to participate in the battle to kill the sky."
Liu Qingwu nodded and said, "You can call it courage. Anyway, it's the same. You recklessly organized an alliance, found the Creator, and then killed him. At that time, you went there with the will of death, but they didn't expect to succeed in the end."
"Each of you is very happy. Even if that battle broke the mainland, the people wouldn't care, because you sat down to something that was almost impossible to accomplish and killed a living god."
The heroic man nodded, and the look of horror on his face disappeared, showing a hint of pride.
The Battle of the Heavens that year was so tragic that he could participate in it, even if it was ten thousand years later, he was enough to be proud of himself.
"However, after this battle, the result was not what you thought."
"The creator of this world has fallen, but this world has not collapsed, but is still firm and abnormal."
"You are still trapped in this world and still cannot get rid of this world."
"So you cannot get rid of life and death, and cannot create your own world. You have won this battle but failed to achieve your goals."
"But there have been some changes in the end." The heroic man said in a deep voice.
At this moment, he no longer had fear on his face and he regained the majesty that a strong man should have.
"There are indeed some changes." Liu Qingwu nodded.
"Although this world is still firm, the constraints on you are loose."
"So you believe that this world will eventually collapse, and the bondage of this world on you will not exist."
"All you need to do is wait, wait for that day to come."
"On that day, the world will collapse and the creatures will be extinct, but you can get rid of the constraints of this world and achieve your own world, thus get rid of life and death, and achieve great freedom."
"You don't care about the death of billions of living beings. You just want to live forever and to let the world collapse as soon as possible, so as to get rid of the suffering of life and death."
"We have no choice, if you were there, you would have the same choice." The heroic man said majestic.
Liu Qingwu snorted, and a hint of disdain appeared in her eyes.
"Your only worry is that you can't live that moment, so you tried every means to extend your life."
"Your strength is different, so the methods you use are also different."
"The most powerful Seven Sages of Xiaoshan, Huang Liang Taoist, and others have transformed into seven secret realms. These seven secret realms can be said to be close to a du Li world. However, this world has been created. The seven secret realms cannot touch the power of laws and obtain real original energy, so they cannot really ask the constraints of this world."
"As long as the secret realm exists, they will never die. However, the secret realm has been weakening day by day since its inception. However, this is the best way. The realm of the seven of them has reached the level of "Everything and Earth are all my thoughts". If they can get rid of the constraints of this world, they can immediately create a world that is immortal."
"And like other people, they are far behind the strength. Although they are trying hard to protect their life span, they are unable to resist the cycle of time. When they are silent, they feel unwilling to give up and try their best to continue."
"As you like on the continent, although you die, you leave a trace of remnant thoughts. You are waiting for the opportunity to accumulate strength and expect resurrection. There are at least dozens of them. Relatively speaking, you are the best one to do except the Seven Sages of Xiaoshan."
"You have controlled the alien races on this island, educated and developed faith. Over the past ten thousand years, I don't know how much power has flowed into your body. Your current level may have surpassed the Seven Sages of Xiaoshan back then."
"It's a pity that you have already lost your true body, so even if you have enough realm, you cannot become a secret realm like the Seven Sages of Xiaoshan. And you must be alert to the fact that there are real strong people coming and seizing your energy."
"Without the body, I have accumulated countless energy but cannot use it. What you worry most today is still happening, because all this will belong to me, and you will completely fall into silence."
