Chapter 1822: Chapter 436: Third Domain_3
They are all members of the Pure Land.
Gu Shen is the Master of Pure Land. His physical body was destroyed... This, of course, impacted the world of the Pure Land. The moment the light sword cut off his head, the Skytop of the Pure Land was shrouded in darkness.
The lower-level Pure Land beings without spiritual wisdom did not know what had happened.
But how could someone as astute as Qingci not understand?
At this moment, the entire Pure Land World was evolving towards the "Great Cold" season. The once desolate leaves of the Suspending Wood frosted once again, becoming cold and withered, while Gu Shen, standing under the tree, was covered in a layer of pale snow.
It was just this matter.
Gu Shen himself was completely unaware.
After "dying," his state of mind became unprecedentedly clear and lucid.
At this moment, Gu Shen remembered what Xiao had said to him long ago.
["Death is not the end."]
["Death is another kind of beginning."]
In the Ice Sea, Gu Shen originally thought he had comprehended life and death, but in fact, he hadn’t... Only those who have truly experienced "death" know the meaning of these words.
Thinking about it carefully, it’s actually quite absurd.
What meaning is there for a person who is already dead to comprehend these things?
Gu Shen slowly sat down under the Suspending Wood. His world became incomparably pure, and his whole will became extremely clear.
He entered the Heart Flow Realm, but this time...
It was no longer as simple as an ordinary sixth-layer Heart Flow.
Even if Qingci, Tie Wu, and others did not speak out loud, he could hear their voices. This was his world in the first place, but it was the first time he clearly sensed the existence of so many beings in the Pure Land, not just the souls he had absorbed. Every blade of grass and tree was breathing.
His "Heart Flow" power seemed to have suddenly opened up, able to distribute into a thousand threads, each given to different living beings in the Pure Land.
"Upon death, one knows everything is empty..."
Gu Shen murmured softly in his heart.
If a person dies, all becomes empty, yet his inner world still lives.
Since the beings in the Pure Land still breathe.
How can he be considered dead?
A wisp of fire ignited at Gu Shen’s brow. The phantom of the Fire Spirit surged and appeared behind Gu Shen, and the Fire Spirit opened its eyes...
"Lord Divine..."
Tie Wu, facing the Fire Spirit, shivered, unable to help but want to kneel.
A gentle power rose out of thin air, holding him up.
"When you see me, there’s no need to kneel."
Gu Shen’s voice echoed in Tie Wu’s heart, with just a few simple words, bringing tears to his eyes.
Apart from Tie Wu.
At this moment, every Pure Land Soul saw the figure of the Fire Spirit formed in the wind and snow, and they all heard the heartfelt voice conveyed by Gu Shen.
The physical body is destroyed.
The spirit remains.
Amidst Silent Annihilation, Gu Shen still summoned the Chi Huo...
The second domain, the "creator," enveloped the Pure Land.
At this moment, Gu Shen suddenly understood what Chu Ling meant by "heart transforming into thousands."
He also possessed nearly endless power to divide his Heart Flow.
He could hear the voice of every soul in the Pure Land and engage in dialogue with them.
The frost and snow frozen on the long leaves of the Suspending Wood were ignited by Chi Huo, burning anew. Every long leaf and branch corresponded to the Heart Flow power that Gu Shen divided... spreading over the Pure Land like a giant umbrella.
"Domains united..."
"Domains united..."
Gu Shen looked at the large umbrella overhead, first with confusion and then with clarity.
He chuckled softly and said, "There is no such thing as domains united; the power of the Transcendent naturally originates from ’one’ dividing."
The so-called second domain is reliant on the first domain.
It is just the Transcendent trying to extend their Extraordinary Power, exploring how far the Domain Power can reach...
But in reality, domains of the same system always belong to the same origin.
To access the origin, one needs to comprehend all the powers contained within that origin.
Domain unity is just one step.
"My Pure Land began with the gift from Mr. Gu Changzhi’s ’Four Seasons Wilderness’... but in truth, from the moment I reversed the breathing method, my Pure Land had already differed from Mr. Gu Changzhi’s."
"Reborn in death, entering life from death."
Gu Shen lowered his eyebrows, looking at the palm of his hand resting on his abdomen, where countless Flowing Fire and countless long leaves of Suspending Wood gathered.
"I must truly experience ’death’ to grasp ’rebirth’..."
Gu Shen extended his palm.
The Fire Spirit did the same.
The first domain and the second domain overlapped and merged at this moment... In reality, they were always the same thing; the fire of life, creator, Gu Shen, they became one.
Vast flames engulfed Gu Shen, and he grew formidable within the sea of fire.
Thus, the two domains united.
But all of this did not end.
Gu Shen looked up towards the Skytop, his voice resonating throughout the Pure Land World.
"Without Mr. Gu Changzhi’s ’Four Seasons Wilderness,’ perhaps my life’s comprehension would have only reached the ’Origin of Life’ at its end."
Gu Shen’s Chi Huo, that evolved into the first domain, is the "fire of life."
But due to the reverse breathing method of the Pure Land.
He touched another origin power.
"Now... I am not content with the ’Origin of Life.’ No matter what, I need the possibility of touching a second origin power."
Gu Shen’s gaze was more resolute than ever.
He pressed one hand on the ground.
The Fire Spirit also pressed its palm on the thick soil and snow.
The immense "creator" domain spread over a million miles, thoroughly enveloping the Pure Land, a warm sense of burning sensation rose in the heart of every Pure Land Soul.
Gu Shen’s voice was deep, like an oracle.
"I want this Pure Land to be fully integrated into my domain."
"Hereafter, it is neither the Netherworld King’s Divine Domain nor the Four Seasons Wilderness..."
"This is the third domain that belongs only to me, Gu Shen!"
