The Collection of The End

——Feng Shen——

What does it feel like to be a saint?

Those who are more literary may say: I rule the universe and the universe, and I have endured countless tribulations without any wear and tear. I am not stained by cause and effect. I am always with the sky, coexisting with the Tao, omniscient and omnipotent.

A more common person would say: Under the saints, everyone is just an ant.

The stupid ones can only shout: I am invincible in the world!

For Luo Shen, he was completely overwhelmed by "knowledge".

As any sentence formed in her thoughts, it would be accompanied by an explanation of every word, every metaphor, every grammar, every ambiguity in the sentence, as well as explanations of these "explanations", and A further explanation of these "explanations".

To use a metaphor, an obscure paper document has all the hyperlinks clicked on, as well as the hyperlinks of the hyperlinks. Moreover, these hyperlinks are not the table of contents of the cited materials, but the full text of the cited materials and the hyperlinks. The "full text" of this article comes with more hyperlinks that have been clicked...

As for the sentence that was formed at the beginning, it is a luxury to keep any two words next to each other, let alone the meaning of it being understood.

This situation also occurred when Luo Shen was just "born" in the chaos. At that time, her choice was to forcibly close the chain explanations of more than two levels and no longer inquire about some insignificant things. This made her occasionally It will look a bit... "cute".

After being forced to become a saint because of her perfect merits, the characteristic of "omniscience" directly broke the "maximum two levels" rule she set herself, and spread endless knowledge in her mind, even if there were constant " The "island" "rises" from the "sea" and has no time to process and classify so much content.

Luo Shen feels like a "knowledge bubble" that is constantly growing. As the more knowledge inside, the more knowledge that does not belong to him becomes accessible, and then the bubble itself will absorb these "extra “Incorporating knowledge into it, and thus being exposed to more knowledge, is completely a vicious cycle.

She struggled and slowly found a solution in this knowledge: first, break a complete bubble into countless small bubbles that do not interfere with each other; second, open a door on this bubble that only allows you to get out. door to achieve a balance between internal and external interactions; third, give up the self-consciousness of "Luo Shen" and wait for the larger self to condense a new consciousness that is enough to control this knowledge - because the last one is equivalent to self-destruction, it just appeared was instantly rejected.

In this case, even if Luo Shen was vaguely aware that there seemed to be something wrong around him during the process of becoming a saint, he had no way to interfere or stop it.

hell.

Poof, bang!

After hearing a sound like a bubble bursting and hitting something, Luo Shen returned to normal logical thinking.

After looking around, she found that she was in a simple wooden boat that was completely hollowed out from a tree trunk. It was made of a strange kind of redwood, and the redwood boat was floating in a sea of ​​crackling noises. In the magma that bursts into flames.

The magma was endless, flowing slowly, and emitting high temperatures, but it did not ignite this ordinary-looking wooden boat.

When Luo Shen turned to look upward, he did not see the sky. Instead, he saw rugged mountain rocks that were an unknown dark red in color and looked extremely solid, as well as lava waterfalls that continued to flow from some cave entrances.

It seems like... something's wrong?

Luo Shen pointed his finger at his lips and thought for a moment, and finally discovered that these things he had never seen before were clearly in his field of vision, but there was no "explanation".

Logically speaking, when she opened her eyes, she should know the name of this place, the material of the wooden boat, the scope of the magma lake or river, what the rocks on the zenith were called, how far away from her, etc. - but at the moment she had no knowledge at all.

And why did he suddenly appear here even though he was becoming a saint?

Luo Shen focused on thinking about this question for a moment, but no answer emerged on its own as usual, so he had to analyze it through "normal" thinking.

"I see, I used the first method and it was successful." Luo Shen clapped his hands together and suddenly realized.

While her thoughts were flowing smoothly, she immediately perceived countless "selves". They were wood carvings and clay sculptures. They were the "Blessings of Empress Nuwa" casually spoken by the human race. They were the feelings of the demon race and the witch race towards "Lord Houtu". Pray sincerely.

These different "selves" are in "bubbles" of different sizes, surrounding "self" and "noumenon". What is quite interesting is that the self is related to "houtu", and the "noumenon" Over there, they were all looking for "Nu Wa". In addition, there were three golden "Bubbles" looking for "Luo Shen". These must belong to those three golden crow friends.

After Luo Shen thought about the whole situation, she also recalled her further plan: She planned to take advantage of the low-profile identity of "Houtu" to leave her "consciousness" here, and let her "subconscious" take "Nuwa" The knowledge there is completely sorted out and then combined into one.

"[I am no longer omniscient and omnipotent for the time being, so there is no need to worry about conflicts between 'you and me', because this act itself does not distinguish between you and me]," Luo Shen recalled his "message" and laughed: "'I' It’s really enough for my mother-in-law.”

At this time, she had already figured out her plan and approach: taking advantage of her two identities as "Nuwa" and "Houtu", she would always transfer the trait of "automatic acquisition of knowledge" to the identity she had not yet used. As for "self-awareness", the answer can only be obtained after taking the initiative to "think and analyze", instead of acting abnormally because knowledge is stuffed into the mind - after all, you are a person who wants to be a saint, so you have to be polite.

Then, let's wander around this "underworld" and go find Hongyun, no, let's talk to Ksitigarbha.

After understanding the specific method of obtaining knowledge, Luo Shen obtained information about the material of the boat. It was made of [Danmu] which cannot be ignited. Although it is strange that such a boat would appear in the underworld, the saint is not The existence of reason.

Although the scope of the magma lake is wide, it still has boundaries. Luo Shen paddled and paddled in a red wood boat in a random direction. Soon, he saw the burning lake shore and six "tributaries" also composed of magma. Both sides of the tributaries were all It is dry, solid sand with a faint glow of fire.

"Hmm...is it really the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation'?" After Luo Shen thought for a while, he randomly selected a tributary and sailed into it.

As a saint and the creator of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, unless Luo Shen himself did not want to see Ksitigarbha, the route he chose intuitively must be correct - without the intervention of other saints.

The daily life of a saint must be auspicious, that is, because there are no "auspicious" conditions here. Otherwise, as a female saint, it would be normal for her to have lotuses growing at every step, petals fluttering, and golden phoenixes accompanying her.

After a while, when Luoshen was a little bored, a black door suddenly appeared, spanning the magma river. There seemed to be no difference between the front and rear of it, but after Luoshen passed by, the surrounding scenery changed instantly.

The original magma turned into clear water, the dry riverbank turned into green grassland, and the flat and monotonous ground further away also showed jungle and undulations. The zenith composed of "Hell Stone" also turned into a clear sky, but the suspended The "sun" has no heat and emits cold white light.

"Welcome the saint." The red cloud with shining bald head and red robe as red as blood came across the water, stopped in front of Luo Shen's boat, and bowed slightly.

"Ksitigarbha is joking," Luo Shen put down his oar and stood up to return the salute: "If you want to become a saint, it's just a matter of taking one step."

"Hell is not empty yet." Ksitigarbha simply ignored the question and raised his hand, "The saint must have come here for them."

No, I don’t even know why, it was just a temporary idea...

Luo Shen looked in the direction of Ksitigarbha's finger and saw Gong Gong and Zhu Rong who had been taken away by him before. They still maintained their appearance when they transformed into beasts, one with an ox head and the other with a horse face, but there was no resentment between their expressions and actions. The signs seem to have become an excellent partner.

As a saint, it is naturally impossible for [Hou Tu] to specially allow [Hou Tu] to come to the underworld once. It is obvious that the pair of culprits who really caused Buzhou's mountains to collapse and the sky to collapse have been in [Nu Wa's] heart, no matter what What their ending will be, [Luo Shen] must witness with his own eyes before becoming a saint.

"What are they doing?" Luo Shen watched with curiosity as Gonggong and Zhurong scooped water from the river and then went to water the farmland and fruit trees by the river.

"They are punishing sinners." Hongyun looked at Luo Shen: "The saint has probably guessed that what you see now is not its original appearance."

"Ah... I'm just telling you why hell is empty." Luo Shen hesitated for a moment, but still didn't take the initiative to "see the truth clearly."

"After a saint arrives in heaven, he will probably not be able to pay attention to hell all the time." Hongyun skipped this topic: "This visit can just be used to establish new rules for the underworld."

"Then..." Before Luo Shen opened his mouth, he realized that he had a complete plan ready to come out in his mind. This kind of behavior that calculated against himself... Tsk, tsk, the saint is really scary.

In the end, she chose to speak out: "Nowadays, the human race is flourishing, kings and powers are alternating, and official positions are established. Among them, those who are discerning and discerning can be selected as the 'King of Hell', those who are upright and good in judgment are called 'Judges', and those who are punctual and firm are called ' "It's a sinister mistake, and it's forbidden to reincarnate with memories of previous lives. You and I retreat to the depths of the blood sea. Unless there is a major accident, we will not be able to get out."

"I sincerely comply with the edict of Empress Dowager Tu." Hongyun saluted again.

"You -" Luo Shen was about to say, "You and I are both saints, there is no need to be polite" and asked about the specific conditions of human sinners in hell, when his consciousness disappeared instantly with an illusory bubble bursting sound.
