1002 God’s Secret! (2)
“So, if I consider this sand pit as me, the original sand as human nature… and the later filled sand as divinity…”
Xu Qing’s expression changed, his breath slightly accelerated. He vaguely felt that he had grasped a key point, and was about to contemplate it, when in the next instant, a massive scorpion tail shot out of the sand beside him, piercing into his body.
Xu Qing’s body landed in the distance with a loud thud, as if a kite with a broken string.
In an instant, three sand scorpions rushed towards the place where he fell, closing in rapidly and beginning to bite.
Xu Qing ignored them. Although his body was weak, it still possessed resilience. These scorpions couldn’t tear him apart in a short time. Though pain surged, Xu Qing’s thoughts were the most crucial thing for him now.
He allowed the scorpions to bite him while closing his eyes to continue his previous thoughts.
“Erasing one’s own humanity, no longer restraining the beastly nature with humanity, thereby allowing divinity to fill the void and act upon the beastly nature!”
Xu Qing’s mind rumbled.
He understood.
“I don’t need to understand what divinity is. What I need to do is to feel it when it integrates and understand it from the perspective of the god’s sight.”
“At that time, perhaps I won’t need to restrain my beastly nature because it won’t need restraint; it will inherently obey me.”
“So, the heir told me that if I want to do this, I need human nature and divinity to overlap. This is a kind of mixing and choosing!”
“But why would hunger appear?”
Xu Qing understood some of the answers but there were still some things he didn’t understand. However, at the end of the day, he needed to face a choice.
Should he give it a try?
After a while, Xu Qing remembered the tea mentioned by the heir in his early guidance.
He then thought of his experiment on the Golden Crow and the enlightenment he had gained from watching the heir take a leaf from the little seedling.
“Tea and water can be fused but they can also be separated. As for the leaves that leave the grass seedling, they are also a part of the grass seedling. Their origins are the same.”
“So, even if it’s an attempt, it’s not impossible to reverse it.”
Xu Qing fell silent for a moment and determination appeared in his eyes. This was because he knew that unless he was willing to give up on completely grasping the power of the Purple Moon, he only had this path.
“As for how to erase human nature…”
Xu Qing closed his eyes. The way to erase human nature was to no longer restrain his instincts.
Hence, he began to slowly adjust.
A while later, Xu Qing’s breathing gradually hastened and his body slowly trembled. After a long time, his eyes opened, revealing madness like that of a wild beast.
He no longer constrained his instincts, no longer restrained his actions, no longer considered morality, good and evil, or the dignity of being human.
He also didn’t think about his memories or emotions.
Release, release, instinct was continuously released.
Boom!
At the next instant, Xu Qing let out a roar like a wild beast. His eyes were red as he lowered his head and looked at a scorpion that was biting him.
His saliva flowed uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth. The hunger from his body erupted endlessly at this moment.
He didn’t know where he got the strength from but he grabbed the scorpion and started biting it crazily.
Sand and soil flew up as rumbling sounds echoed.
The roars and sharp sounds continued to intertwine and fuse. After about fifteen minutes, a figure rushed out.
He was Xu Qing.
However, at this moment, his hair was disheveled and he was panting. His face and body were covered in blood and his left hand, which had a large amount of flesh bitten off earlier, was completely broken.
However, this didn’t affect his speed.
He didn’t know how to think anymore. Only his instincts existed. He wanted to eat and eat everything.
The instinctive hunger plunged him into madness; he wanted to devour, not only a desire for flesh and blood but also a deeper and more profound craving.
He didn’t know what it was; his sensation was that his body seemed to have numerous voids, a substance of utmost importance to him, concealed within.’
As he hid, the feeling of hunger grew increasingly intense. It came from his body and soul.
At the same time, his body shone with purple light!
This was the power of the Purple Moon!
It surged with unprecedented fluctuations, intertwining intimately with the brilliance of the protagonist at this instant, blending in an infinite fusion.
The surroundings distorted and the world blurred. The power of the god rumbled and erupted from Xu Qing’s body.
The desert shook and the green wind paused. It actually rolled back, as though it didn’t dare to get close.
A wail rang out from Xu Qing’s mouth. He ran crazily toward the mushrooms in the distance and instantly got close.
Originally, at his peak, he would have to expend a lot of magic power to break through the surface of the mushroom. At this moment, he only waved his hand and the surface of the mushroom split open on its own.
As a mournful cry echoed, Xu Qing directly crawled in and opened his mouth to devour it.
His remaining right hand was also constantly waving as he grabbed piece after piece of flesh and stuffed them into his mouth with all his might.
“Hungry… hungry…”
As for the mushroom’s resistance, it was also extremely intense. A large number of tentacles danced out of the sand, forming the outline of a giant that suppressed Xu Qing.
Under its aura, all Nascent Soul cultivators would collapse. Even Xu Qing, in the past, would have had to go all out to resist it.
However, now… as soon as these tentacles that contained suppression got close to Xu Qing, they actually collapsed on their own.
It was completely helpless against Xu Qing.
The waves of terror swept out from within the mushroom, accompanied by agonizing cries that transformed into the lament of life. However, Xu Qing continued to devour, one gulp after another.’
His stomach swelled but the feeling of appetite didn’t decrease. Instead, it became even more terrifying.
In the end, it was as though all the holes in his body had melted together, forming an incomparably huge black hole that devoured him.
The divinity from the Purple Moon shone even more intensely at this moment.
The purple intent enveloped the world.
The divine source erupted.
Xu Qing’s movements slowly stopped at this moment. In his madness, his red eyes revealed a hint of cold clarity. He vaguely seemed to sense divinity.
It was hard to describe and beyond words.
Xu Qing didn’t understand everything. It was just that at this moment, he had a sudden feeling.
For example, whether the Crimson Goddess came or not was no longer important in his thoughts.
Who he was was no longer important.
“Emotions, past, good and evil, grievances, all people, all things, he remembered, but at this moment, none of it mattered anymore.”
His view of things and understanding of everything was different from the past.
“This is why the heir said that the moment I succeed, it will be hard to tell if I am still me…”
“Because the moment godliness completely replaced human nature, the things and people that were once extremely important to me are insignificant at this moment.”
Xu Qing pondered indifferently. He only thought about this question slightly and felt that it was meaningless.
To him, pondering over this matter was equally unimportant.
As for the decaying landscape before his eyes, swept by an aging wind, where grotesque specters filled the space between heaven and earth, and the ground was covered with ruins submerged in a sea of bones and flesh-eating maggots, it also didn’t matter.
Even the blurry fragmented-face in the sky had undergone a transformation, with eyes wide open, gazing down at the earth as if they had never closed.
This too wasn’t important.
The important thing was that the protagonist was very hungry, extremely hungry.
His appetite seemed to be endless with no beginning or end.
Xu Qing understood the source of his hunger.
That was another instinct that pursued the evolution of life.
It was also a farewell and reluctance to part with the past.
It was an imperfect black hole formed by the loss of humanity and the integration of divinity.
“If I want to resolve this hunger, I have to make myself perfect and completely erase human nature.”
“I haven’t done it completely, and the Crimson Goddess hasn’t done it either. The Ancient Spirit Emperor hasn’t completed it either. It’s the same for the captain… So, They will be hungry.”
Xu Qing calmly thought about this unimportant matter that he didn’t know why he was thinking about. Very soon, he stopped thinking.
However, after he stopped, he faintly felt that this was very important.
The collision of two types of thoughts caused a struggle to appear in his eyes. Sometimes, it was indifferent, and sometimes, it regained the color of human nature.
As they continued to intertwine, the veins on Xu Qing’s forehead bulged and he let out a wail of pain. The clarity in his eyes rapidly disappeared and insanity surged again. His instinct to pursue perfection erased the footsteps of humanity and erupted uncontrollably again.
Xu Qing went crazy again. Purple light overflowed into the sky from his entire body, and he sped into the distance like he was possessed.
There was food there.
At the place he left, there was not a single mushroom left. He devoured them all.
