Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

The Deep Diver, emitting a light blue shimmer, slowly descended from the sky. It was so huge that the Wild Boar, which was more than fifty meters long, looked like a child in front of it.

But even such a behemoth was just a fragile object that needed to be handled gently to Su Zhou. He used his spiritual power to control it and gently lifted it to the sea. Even so, the landing of the Deep Diver still failed. Waves arose, causing it and the Wild Boar to sway on the sea surface.

"My lord have mercy!"

And when Su Zhou returned to the Wild Boar with his eyes tightly closed and without saying a word, his face full of joy or despair, he was greeted by the entire crew of the Wild Boar, as well as Ammon and Sara. People kneel down.

Obviously, even the pirates with the worst brains know very well that if Su Zhou had not blocked the divine punishment of the Dragon of Judgment before, they would definitely be ashes and debris floating on the sea now, even buried in the belly of a fish. Neither can be done.

"Okay, okay, you all have to accept the trial. I blocked Leifa just because I thought it would be more useful for you to repent while alive than dead."

Su Zhou waved his hand impatiently, signaling everyone to get up quickly. He couldn't stand such disgusting flattery, and he preferred others to argue with him. That was the real entertainment: "Remember, I may be A bit more merciful than the previous dragon, but if I knew what evil deeds you had really done, then I guarantee that all of you would die miserably, far worse than being struck by lightning."

"Now, get back and sail the boat."

"Yes Yes!"

Immediately, all the crew members on the Wild Boar rolled back to their jobs, and the same was true for the crew members on the Deep Diver. After finishing these things, Su Zhou threw Albert in his hand on the deck. He narrowed his eyes and stared at him, but his mind drifted to other places.

——The dragon of humanity.

To put it in a simpler description, it is the product of some kind of substantive subconscious aggregate.

"Leviathan - the incarnation of some kind of collective subconscious. Back in the world of dragons, the dragon summoned by Kumor, the second prince of the Kelba Empire, was such a humane dragon."

"There are various signs that the Dragon of Judgment is such a divine dragon."

Su Zhou is no longer someone who knows nothing about extraordinary power. He knows this aspect very well. It is not surprising that the collective subconscious of mankind may indeed turn into an entity. In fact, when the spiritual energy recovery reaches its highest peak, Finally, as long as the planet is enlightened, it will also have its own consciousness.

Coincidentally, most of the ancient Earth Mother Goddess had dragons and snakes as symbols - as far as Su Zhou knew, among the many worlds in the multiverse, if there was a will to the world, their forms would most likely be some kind of Huge dragon, snake and python.

More than this, Su Zhou wanted to know why such a humane dragon actually appeared in a world like the reincarnation world, which was obviously not particularly spiritual.

But soon, he had a bold guess.

"At the beginning of the era, I joined forces with Elias and the God of Wind to split the 'Earth Soul' into countless fragments and gave it to all the people of wind and fire."

"My original intention at that time was to allow everyone to have the potential to become gods. Even if it is not possible, at least it can improve their innate spirituality."

Recalling what he had done in the past, Su Zhou was not so forgetful. After all, for him, everything happened just over a year ago.

The soul of the earth that was split and given to all the people of wind and fire can indeed greatly enhance everyone's natural spirituality. Although, this powerful spiritual object gifted from outside will allow people to advance from the leader to the overlord level. When the time comes, an additional step of purification is needed, but most people cannot cultivate to the peak of leadership. Those who can cultivate to the peak of leadership can purify the earth soul fragments in their souls as easily as drinking soup.

Overall, the pros far outweigh the cons.

"But now it looks like...the fragments of the Earth Soul seem to have gathered together through the subconscious of the people of wind and fire, spontaneously, or were induced by others, and then transformed into today's 'Dragon of Judgment'" 'The prototype is the third god besides the God of Wind and Fire."

This is not a random guess. Su Zhou has already begun to doubt the Lord of Judgment from the beginning, because in the world of reincarnation, there are only four gods in theory, that is, the four elemental gods of earth, water, fire and wind, unless there is one in the future. The amazing and talented natives of the world of reincarnation developed a method of cultivation at the level of immortals and gods, breaking the reincarnation of the divine thrones. Otherwise, there would only be these four divine thrones.

The goal of the pirates should be to find the soul of the source water and become a god. The God of Earth could not have appeared in the first place, but it is not known which one of them is Elias or the God of Wind. Through various methods, they The soul of the earth in the souls of all living beings was gathered together, and based on this, it simulated the image of Su Zhou, and condensed the 'Dragon of Judgment' that was exactly the same as Su Zhou.

"The general situation should be like this... interesting, the god that connects everyone's hearts. In this case, everything will be explained."

After thinking about this, Su Zhou raised his head and looked at Gao Tian thoughtfully, then turned his head and looked at everyone beside him.

If we say that the Dragon of Judgment is the collective subconscious of everyone in the world of reincarnation, then in other words, everyone is a part of the Lord of Judgment, and the Lord of Judgment knows about the evil things everyone does, and it is indeed not an exaggeration. .

It may be empty talk to have a god above your head, but the Dragon of Judgment really exists in everyone's heart.

"In this case, the point of 'judgment will eventually come' is not false - even if it is a criminal, as long as he feels that he has committed a crime, then even if others do not know, he can accumulate ten dollars just by relying on his own will. Years and eights will also bring him judgment... Oops, even though I just split him apart, now I suddenly feel that this design is quite good!"

Thinking of this, Su Zhou even got a little excited - he has always been modest and studious, and would never deny the merits of others because of prejudice: "People can never deceive their own hearts. This may be some kind of 'karma' The source of... This design is good, it belongs to me, and it can be used next time!"

Having almost deduced the origin of the Dragon of Judgment, Su Zhou now also understood how he should cut off the wishes related to the 'Dragon of Judgment'.

The reason why the power of desire entangled in Su Zhou converges on him is mainly because of two reasons - one is image promotion, the image of the Dragon of Judgment is obviously designed based on Su Zhou, and the second is the image of the Dragon of Judgment. The first reason is because Su Zhou was the initiator who split the soul of the earth and gave it to all living things.

In other words, the Dragon of Judgment not only imitates Su Zhou, its existence itself is also the 'cause' and 'result' that Su Zhou himself planted.

Therefore, if you want to cut off the wishes related to this aspect, you can change the image of the Dragon of Judgment, or you can directly capture the Dragon of Judgment and force it to be transferred... In the Xianxia method, it is to transfer the cause and effect. , arrest people to prevent disaster.

Apart from these, Su Zhou actually gained only one thing in the end.

That is, he discovered that his original self was so annoying!

Thinking of this, Su Zhou even couldn't help but speak and whispered to himself: "Tsk, I really didn't expect that I was really a demon lord in the past, and he was so stupid... It's so shameful!"

But then, Su Zhou heard Yala's teasing words: "The devil is not bad, at least he can take revenge." But the young man quickly retorted: "Can't I do it now? Look at what you said, a good person You can also enjoy grudges!"

"host……"

And just when Su Zhou was preparing to fight Yala for thirty rounds, he heard Aimeng's voice beside him.

The young man turned his head and saw the gray-haired priest standing beside him with a complicated expression. There was no doubt on his wrinkled face, but there was a kind of sorrow: "Are you worried? Because you are with another master. A fight?"

"Ah, Ammon."

When Su Zhou saw his follower - or rather, the follower of the Lord of Judgment, he was actually quite surprised.

Because he didn't hear "confusion" from the other person's voice.

This is very unusual - as a believer of the Lord of Judgment, Ammon is not confused and confused because of the hostility between himself and the Dragon of Judgment? This is not something that ordinary believers can do.

Su Zhou asked as soon as he thought of it. He turned around and motioned for Ammon to follow him to the side of the ship. The two of them watched the waves rising and falling at night. The young man said directly: "Don't you find it strange? My fight with the Dragon of Judgment, They are obviously gods, but they start a conflict over a group of pirates who are theoretically guilty.”

Aimeng followed Su Zhou. When he heard the young man's words, he nodded first, then shook his head: "I find it strange, my lord, I didn't expect that such a conflict would break out between you."

"However, you are different from the Lord of Judgement. I have understood this from the very beginning when you praised the fish soup made by others in Sunset City."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Su Zhou became interested. He asked curiously: "What do you think is different between me and the Dragon of Judgment?"

Ammon was silent for a while, thinking about the words, and then said slowly: "The teachings of the Lord of Judgement are to uphold fair and equitable judgments, in which there is no favoritism, no compromise, no favoritism or connivance."

"Judgment is ruthless. As long as you violate the precepts, even good people will be punished... No, as long as you violate the precepts, you are no longer a 'good person'."

"But I always feel that doing this is a bit too cruel and not the same as what I yearned for when I was young."

After saying such a series of words, Ammon closed his eyes, clasped his hands and prayed, then opened his eyes, continued to stare at the sea, and murmured: "Perhaps it is because of this doubt in my heart that makes I have been unable to advance to the level of the Chosen One. My Lord, I am not actually pious. I may perform rituals, pray, and follow the precepts on the surface, but in my heart I am always doubtful, always confused, and always It’s helpless.”

"That's a good thing, Ammon, and reasonable doubt is a virtue."

Su Zhou didn't care about this, he encouraged: "Then, what kind of god am I to you?"

The gray-haired priest hesitated for a while, but then he chuckled, bowed slightly to salute Su Zhou, and said calmly: "You have love, my Lord."

"Compared to the Lord of Judgment that I am familiar with, you have more love for this world."

Having said this, Ammon straightened up again, and his face returned to its original calmness with a hint of sadness: "I can't be sure which side is right between you and the other master, but... you are by my side and allow I question you."

"So, I think the other side is more inhumane."

"Haha, you are really wrong about this."

Hearing Aimeng's description of himself, Su Zhou couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head with a smile and said: "If we calculate based on the number of people, it is likely that the Dragon of Judgment is more humane."

Then, the young man turned his head and looked at the approaching Sunset City not far away. The city was full of lights even at night. He said calmly: "However, you are right about one thing."

"The biggest difference between me and the Dragon of Judgment is indeed love."

like.

It is not the love between men and women, or the love between parents and children, but another broader emotion.

Su Zhou could not describe his feelings towards this world of reincarnation and towards the people of wind and fire, a race that he almost created by himself.

how to say? Just like the love of Lord Shanti—bearing all things, believing all things, hoping all things, enduring all things.

He looks forward to their possible growth, believes in their future transcendence, tolerates their current shortcomings, and endures their temporary ignorance.

And, I firmly believe that their future will get better.

The same goes for Su Zhou.

This feeling can perhaps only be described as love.

Thinking of this, Su Zhou smiled, turned around and looked to his side and behind.

There, there was Ammon who was waiting for him to continue speaking, and Captain Ned who was standing behind him with a confused face at some point. In addition, there was Sara, the wind citizen who was slowly waking up, and some others. He was working, but his pace was slow, and the Wild Boar was parked on the deck.

Even Albert, who knew that he was bound to die and had not said a word before, just waiting for the final judgment to come, knelt on the ground and listened silently.

“Lord, tell us your way.”

Aimeng stood in the first place. He bowed to Su Zhou with great solemnity and asked God for instructions.

"Please inform us, my lord!"

And everyone else bowed in unison: "We want to know your way."

"Since you have made a wish to me, I will grant it."

Su Zhou calmly accepted everyone's bows. Facing everyone, he calmly spoke out the spiritual sound that vibrated both worlds: "But I want to teach you that even my Tao is not perfect. It must have errors and omissions, contradictions and contradictions." Disharmony is the same in any Tao. 】

[A powerful existence, even if it has the ability to destroy the world, also has magical powers, power and knowledge. Its power can move mountains, overturn seas, and do everything in the world. But if there is no love in the heart, it is just a tool, like judgment. The dragon is just like a tool for the tyranny of many people to vent their hatred. 】

[He judges the iniquitous and helps the good, and this is indeed just to all nations. But without love, all this is meaningless to Himself, and the same is true for those who are being judged. 】

【What is incorrect? After a trial, only praying to the judge will make you feel happy. The judge is just a tool, and the person being judged neither understands why he is being judged nor can he repent and repent. The bystanders can't understand why the current result is happening. They can't. Lessons learned. 】

Saying this, Su Zhou raised his hand and pointed to Albert, who was still pretending that he did not exist. He pointed at the King of the Seven Seas and said lightly: [Just like just now, if Albert was punished by the Dragon of Judgment, Although he killed evil people, could onlookers know what evil he had done? Can onlookers know why he did evil and what reasons led him to embark on the evil path, leading him to grow into the evil person he is now? 】

Hearing this, Albert suddenly shuddered and raised his head suddenly. This red-haired and rainbow-bearded pirate originally showed no emotion or fear of death even when faced with the judgment of the Dragon of Judgment. But now , he looked at Su Zhou in shock.

Su Zhou looked at him and said calmly: [Maybe there are personal factors involved, but the root of all evil must come from a corrupt world operating system. 】

[The truly right thing is that whatever you pray to the judge, both the judge and the judged will receive something. Even if he is about to be executed at the next moment, the person being judged should understand what the correct order is, and all those who pray to the judge and bystanders, in addition to the joy of punishment, can also know the sadness involved, and try to prevent it as much as possible It'll happen next time. 】

[The element of judgment is not hatred, but love first. Because we love all good people, we punish all those who do evil. 】

[Judgment without love and eradication of evil without love are nothing more than cleaning up garbage. Only judgment with love can be regarded as ‘correction’ and let everyone understand that this is wrong. 】

[In this way, we can be considered as taking steps in the right direction. 】

Finally, Su Zhou concluded with this sentence: "The purpose of trial is to make progress, to correct, to know the truth, and to make people better." It is not established just for the purpose of killing people, but is the result of clarifying the truth. 】

[This is my way on the matter of judgment (eating evil). 】

Everyone listened carefully.

Love, Judgment, and Progress.

At this moment, Albert was thinking about his past.

Born as a pirate, he was born as a citizen of the sea. He had no choice in the future. As his father's tool to control the pirate group, he could not choose his future.

If possible, could I choose not to become a pirate?

Albert didn't know it, and he didn't regret it. He had done many evil things in his life as a pirate, and he had been happy for a long time. He had long been prepared to die under trial, so he faced the trial before. Long and Su Zhoushi also acted quite tough... Of course, they were a little scared, but that was all.

However, even if he never regrets it, this great pirate will always be confused. He is confused whether he, who was deliberately used as a tool by his father and mother, really has the right to choose? Is my so-called lack of regret just because I insist on going my own way because there is no other choice?

He was not born out of love... But even so, as his father, Glo took the risk of being discovered by God and told him to leave this sea as soon as possible...

Love this kind of thing...

"Fuck, that's bullshit!"

On the other hand, Ned, the captain of the Wild Boar, was cursing in his heart: "What do you think about love or not? If I have the strength, I will marry a good woman and have a few children, and then go back to the mountains to continue hunting. Who cares?" Fuck you love it or not!”

However, even this kind of Ned, after cursing for a while, there was a trace of complicated emotions in his heart: "But damn... at least the Lord is right about this. If I am judged, I don't want to be without anything." The introduction was struck by lightning - at least let those people in the city know that I became angry and rebelled because I couldn't stand their weird way of speaking."

"If they knew, maybe they would change the way they spoke. Is this the so-called progress... No, am I worthy? If I were a big pirate, maybe I could still have this kind of deterrence!"

At the end of the thought, Ned himself was confused. He shook his head vigorously: "That's all. Anyway, if possible, I still hope there are more good people in this world. In this way, even if I am judged, the punishment I will receive will be smaller." .”

On the other side, Sarah was in a daze. Of course she couldn't understand what Su Zhou said, but there was one thing she agreed with: "The Lord is indeed loving - he even grilled fish for me himself." Eat it!”

At this time, after explaining his feelings and thoughts, Su Zhou felt that the heavenly soul in his body was boiling.

Closing his eyes, the young man felt the power that was constantly beating deep in his soul in his soul space.

In the soul space, above the spirit of the Tree of Wisdom, the purple-green heavenly soul illuminates all the darkness, with countless runes and brilliance spilling out of it, and then it is constantly reorganized and reconstructed in compliance with the will of its master.

Some of its inherent structures were destroyed, but they were filled with new light, just like as people grow up, some old ideas are shattered and some brand new concepts take their place.

But all this is not in vain, because the mistakes made before are the steps laid to move towards the right path.

Finally, all the dancing light returned to the Heavenly Soul and merged into the corona-like halo. The turbid cursed light and the pure will power were intertwined, forming a spiral-like structure in the Heavenly Soul. .

"We are already one-third of the way through...the reconstruction of magical powers is completely on track."

Opening his eyes, Su Zhou's vision became clear. He felt that his perception of curses and wishes was becoming more and more acute, and even the fire of sin became easier to control. Su Zhou felt that if he ignited the black and white karma fire in his body again, then he would no longer feel the extreme pain, and could completely turn it into a part of his body and soul.

At this moment, after listening to Su Zhou's explanation, Aimeng, who had been listening all the time, took a long breath and then smiled.

"My Lord, after listening to you expounding your righteous way, I can finally be sure that you are the God I want to follow."

"Oh?" Su Zhou looked at the gray-haired priest, he smiled and teased: "Are you 'finally sure' now? I originally thought you had recognized me a long time ago."

"You know, there is another Dragon of Judgment in the sky."

Ammon shook his head and responded: "Question, my Lord, this is what you said. I cannot choose the existence I want to follow based on my inherent impression. I must truly understand you, your teachings, and your thoughts. , the path you are going to take can only be said so."

"Now, I am absolutely sure that I did not choose to follow you because you are a 'god'. My Lord, I chose to follow you because of your way and love!"

Having said this, the long-standing sorrow in Ammon's brows gradually dissipated, and he closed his eyes calmly and contentedly.

The gray-haired priest thought about the injustice he had suffered as a child, the family that was framed by others, imprisoned, and almost put on trial.

It was because of a wandering judge who was the Lord of Judgement that he left hell and saw himself being judged by the businessmen who had framed his family. Naturally, he had great reverence for the god who represented judgment.

In the eyes of the children at that time, there was no doubt that the Lord of Judgement was the embodiment of justice and righteousness.

But, is it really the trial that he admires that almost killed his family, only to be reversed in the end?

No... what I admired was actually the judge and the justice shown by that judge.

That love that pursues ‘better’ and ‘truth’.

"That's it, this is the true belief in my heart..."

He murmured in a low voice, and immediately, a line of pure cyan light rose from the top of Aimeng's head, turning into a long line that went straight into the sky. It is extraordinary constructed from pure faith, pure will and soul.

After decades of accumulation and doubt, he finally understood the old priest in his heart, and the power accumulated in his heart finally underwent a qualitative change at this moment!

"Advanced!"

"Priest Amon has advanced!"

Seeing this scene, everyone on the Wild Boar opened their eyes wide. They exclaimed and looked at the gray-haired priest, and Su Zhou was no exception.

The young man stared at the apostle who chose to follow him. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and then he secretly stretched out his hand. Huge spiritual power appeared faintly on the left and right, protecting the opponent's advancement.

At this moment, in the surging clear light, endless elements were naturally used from all directions, turning into a raging whirlpool above Amon's head. The power of the elements attracted by pure faith and soul even induced a whirlpool out of thin air. Fires, atmospheric surges, things being damp, dust condensation and other phenomena are constantly purified, purified and integrated into it by the old man's will.

According to the practice method of the reincarnation world, these elemental powers will be integrated into his body along with the soul power derived from Ammon, so that his soul will be protected by the elements of heaven and earth, and he can directly control the elements of the world with his will. Become an existence that is close to elemental creatures, but transcends elemental creatures.

Ammon naturally knows this - of course he knows it, he has known it for decades.

So, soon, as the old priest slowly opened his eyes, the cyan light above his head returned to his body with a large amount of pure elemental power, integrating into his soul inch by inch.

Then, a deep breath spread from his body.

Having been trapped in the enlightenment stage for decades, a breakthrough was made today.

Priest Amon has entered the realm of the Chosen One!

Both his body and look were much younger. Aimeng's face was not excited, but with a hint of joy. He raised his head and looked at Su Zhou, who nodded with a smile.

"Congratulations, my apostle."

"Because of your way, my Lord." The priest said sincerely.

After that, everyone on the Wild Boar came to congratulate Ammon.

"Yes, Su Zhou, even though this old man is quite old, he is actually very tough and pure in heart."

In the soul space, Su Zhou could even hear Yala's comments: "Moreover, he is a very, very rare 'true believer' among all types of believers! But precisely because he is a true believer, if he walks in a confused place, On the road, I have been unable to advance."

"Well... it's a good thing that he dares to question me."

Su Zhou also recognized Aimeng's thoughts and final recognition of following him all the way. It was actually an honor for him as a 'god' to have such believers believe in him, and not the other way around. He was very happy in his heart: "This time In my journey to the world of reincarnation, having such a serious thinking believer recognize and recognize my path is already a big enough reward."

After everyone had finished congratulating Ammon, the Wild Boar and the Deep Diver had arrived at the shore of the Twilight City port.

It can be seen that at the pier, the Navy of Sunset City, which has seen the pirate flag, is hurriedly setting off to drive the ship.

Su Zhou naturally didn't worry about such trivial matters. He didn't need to step forward at all. Aimeng, who had advanced to the Chosen One, could take care of everything.

"My lord, what shall we do next?"

Even though he advanced, he was still calm and unfazed. At this time, Aimeng realized that the joy that his strength, which he had worried about for so long, could bring to him was far less than the joy of knowing that he was walking on the right path.

The feeling of taking steps towards the right direction...even if it is just the right one recognized by oneself, is extremely joyful.

At this time, he was asking Su Zhou about his next plan in order to prepare for the next action.

"It's better to go see the Lord of Fire - after knowing so much, I am becoming more and more interested in what that kid is doing."

Su Zhou just looked into the distance, the lights of the city reflected in his eyes: "The Dragon of Judgment, the Soul of Water, Pirates, and the order of this world... Elias really provided me with many surprises."

As he said this, his will locked onto Albert, who was kneeling behind him on the deck, motionless.

"Just in time, I will also bring him a nice meeting gift."

In response, Ammon smiled and nodded: "Your will."

The next day.

The fact that the incarnation of the God of Judgment fought against another God of Judgment in the sky over the Sea of ​​Joy around the Sunset City spread almost throughout the entire Kingdom of Holy Fire.

Not only the Holy Fire Continent, but also the Wind Continent on the other side of the world, some priests learned this shocking news with the help of divine power scrolls.

Not to mention the pirates who are already well-informed and have many sources of information.

"What did you say?!"

The Seven Seas, the Raging Sea.

In a bright and noisy volcanic cave, you can see golden-red lava slowly flowing at the end of the cave, as if the blood of the earth is pulsating.

Although it is filled with the smell of sulfur, the volcanic cave has been cleaned and tidy, and there are even all kinds of unusually advanced and sophisticated magic props that are not like those in the reincarnation world. They are placed here to form a small and refined temporary magic formation.

"Can you repeat that again?"

At this time, in this secret base hidden in a volcanic cave on an island, an extremely shocked voice sounded: "Are you saying that the Dragon God of Judgment descended and was beaten back by the God of Judgment?"

"Albert also died because of this...you mean he was captured?"

"Uh, wait, let me summarize... Because when the Dragon of Judgment wanted to judge Alber, it also judged other innocent people, so the God of Judgment judged the Dragon of Judgment..."

At this point, the voice suddenly became confused: "What the hell are you talking about?! I can't even pronounce the word trial clearly!"

"Forget it, send me the space mission record and let me see what's going on!"

Second update

Do you still recognize the word "judgment"?
