Everyone thought the most powerful scientist they had ever seen was a national treasure-level technologist, until they met Bai Zhi—the Light of Technology, a cosmic-level scientist.
Congrat...
This is the attitude of the underworld. If Mo Baizhi doesn't give them a satisfactory answer, then they might as well not cooperate. They will continue to go to the world of the living as usual if they want to.
Although those Heavenly Masters are a trouble, as long as all the ghosts unite, I think the Heavenly Masters will be afraid of them.
The most important thing is that they don’t have to be exploited by Mo Baizhi anymore!
When they first signed the tripartite agreement, they obviously didn't expect Mo Baizhi to be so exploitative.
Just think about it, you have to be a social animal when you are alive, and then have to work 996 after you die. Who can stand it?
Moreover, there are very few ghosts going to the world of the living now. If they want to go to the human world, they need Mo Baizhi's permission. Their authority has been greatly reduced, and these ghost officials are very dissatisfied.
At the same time, the pressure on the underworld has not been relieved at all!
Since Mo Baizhi can't do anything to them, they will definitely resist.
When Xian Shucheng heard this, his brows instantly frowned.
He works for a personnel company in the Yin and Yang worlds, and he has been exposed to the world of metaphysics since he was a child, so of course he knows what the current situation in the human world is.
The world is short of people, so it's a good thing for ghosts to go to work.
But there are still many ordinary people in the world who are unaware of the existence of ghosts. How could they rashly allow countless ghosts into the mortal realm? What if they caused trouble in the mortal realm, or disturbed those ordinary people?
How can that be!
Therefore, the personnel companies in the Yin and Yang worlds have been slowly releasing ghosts into various industries.
But now, the underworld is not satisfied with this slowness.
And now they want Bai Zhi to come up with an explanation. If she can't solve the problem of the underworld, they will not cooperate, and the previous tripartite agreement will be invalid!
Although they have signed an agreement, who can supervise their implementation of the agreement?
If these people in the underworld want to tear up the agreement, it’s just a matter of a word, and no one can do anything to them.
Originally, Mo Baizhi could have scared them...
But now, they are no longer afraid of Mo Baizhi.
Xian Shucheng looked at Mo Baizhi, and all the ghosts also looked at Mo Baizhi, they were all waiting for her response.
Bai Zhi was very calm.
She was not angry at all because of the opinions of these people in the underworld, nor did she change her expression because of the conditions proposed by the Black and White Impermanence. Her expression did not change at all.
He just nodded after they finished speaking.
Then, he threw the handkerchief to Xiao Yu who was carrying the bag with his right hand, and slowly put on his glasses with his left hand.
Bai Zhi clapped her hands, a smile slowly forming on her lips. "Very good. I thought we were all friends, and no matter what, we should work together. But since you're unwilling, then let's not cooperate."
All the ghosts were stunned.
The one who relatively benefited from the tripartite agreement was Mo Baizhi. Did she just agree not to cooperate so easily?
Even the ghost officials and big ghosts who expressed dissatisfaction were stunned.
Mao Hua stuck his head out and said to Bai Zhi, "You should just refuse to cooperate. The Underworld will handle our affairs. We don't need you to interfere!"
Bai Zhi glanced at him, and just with that one glance, Mao Hua shut his mouth again, not daring to speak anymore.
The ghost officers looked at each other, and one of them spoke up, "Since you won't cooperate, what happens to our underworld is our business. Master Mo, please remove the talismans that are sealing all the cave entrances."
Xian Shucheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't dare to speak.
Obviously, as long as Bai Zhi takes down the talisman, a large number of ghosts from the underworld will come to the world of the living. Moreover, because they are afraid that the celestial masters will attack them, they may even gather together...
A group of unrestrained and clinging ghosts will definitely affect the order of the human world!
Xian Shucheng looked worried.
Some ghosts already looked expectant.
They want to go to the world of the living!
But Mo Baizhi restricted them. After Mo Baizhi took down the talisman, without any restrictions, they could wander around the world without restraint!
Amidst the expectant gazes of these ghosts, Bai Zhi slowly spoke, uttering two words—
"I don't."
Ghosts: “???”
They stared at Mo Baizhi with wide eyes.
The ghost messenger who had just made the request was even more stunned. He raised his voice and said, "Mo Baizhi?! Since we won't cooperate, what gives you the right to seal our passage to the underworld?!"
Bai Zhi looked at him with cold eyes: "Because I won't cooperate, and I am a human. I think it is not a good thing for me for you to come to the world of the living, so I refuse."
The smile on her lips became even colder: "Since you don't want to be my friend, why should I be polite to you?"
Ghosts: “!!!”
The ghost messengers widened their eyes in disbelief, and then they suddenly understood -
Mo Baizhi seemed to let them give their opinions, seemed to respect them, seemed to agree with their requests...
But in fact, she didn't give them a choice at all!
If they continue to agree to cooperate, the passage will be sealed and they can only go to the world of the living through the personnel companies in the Yin and Yang worlds.
If they tear up their agreement, the passage will be sealed and they will not be able to go to the world of the living!
This woman Mo Baizhi!!
The ghost messengers and the big ghosts clenched their fists, but they immediately thought - this woman was not afraid of their attacks at all, she could not hurt them, and they could not hurt her!
"Mo Baizhi! Don't go too far!" A ghost officer suppressed his anger.
Bai Zhi's smile remained icy, her gold-rimmed glasses gleaming coldly: "Excessive? There are even more excessive ones."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped forward.
Even more outrageous?
What is this woman going to do?!
The ghosts in front actually stepped back subconsciously. When she took a step, they actually took a step back subconsciously.
The ghost messenger and the big ghosts stood there forcing themselves to keep telling themselves in their hearts -
She can't hurt them, she can't hurt them!!
Xian Shucheng's eyes widened. He wished he could record this scene and let everyone see it. Master Mo Tian could actually defeat all the ghosts at once!
Before she could make a move, they were frightened and retreated!
It's fucking horrible!!
Bai Zhi didn't know about Xian Shucheng's shock, nor did she care. She continued to walk at a leisurely pace, talking as she walked -
"I actually really want to be friends with you, so I've always been considerate of you and never taken any real action against you. But apparently, you seem to be taking my friendship as a pretext for your own arrogance."
Her voice was very soft, but inexplicably, every word she said made their hearts tremble and their hair stand on end.
She stepped forward and the ghost retreated, step by step.
Even after she approached, many ghost officials subconsciously took a step back!
Even if they stabilized quickly, retreat is retreat.
——Just now they were actually afraid of this woman!
——How embarrassing!!
The ghost messenger and the big ghosts looked unhappy.
Mao Hua's face was also pale, with big beads of cold sweat dripping down his forehead. Of course, he didn't have cold sweat, but he had this feeling, as if something was constantly oppressing him, making him unable to speak!
Of course he wanted to retreat, but Bai Zhi was staring at him!!
At this moment, Mao Hua just wanted to slap himself twice -
Let you talk nonsense!
Let you provoke her! !
Bai Zhi finally walked in front of Mao Hua. She looked at the trembling Mao Hua and said slowly, "Since you are not polite, then I will get serious."
There was a smile on her lips, her eyes were cold, and the look she gave Mao Hua made his body tremble.
The lenses also have a cold and sharp edge.
Mao Hua: “……!!”
He was so scared that he sat down on the ground, tilted his head back and stared blankly at Bai Zhi.
After a long pause, he said in a hoarse voice, "You, you, you... you just lied to us? Actually... you could actually do something to us?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the ghosts took another big step back!
The ghost messenger and the big ghosts also shook their bodies.
You know, if they were separated, they would have nothing, not even a next life!!
And if they can't attack Bai Zhi, then they can only stand there and let her beat them!
Is that a sitting duck?!
If Bai Zhi had lied to them before, then their life and death would truly be in her hands!
All the ghost faces turned pale and couldn't stop trembling.
Bai Zhi: "No, I'm not lying. I really can't do anything to you right now."
Xian Shucheng: “……!”
here we go again!
My ancestor! Why are you so honest?
Xianshu Chengdu must kneel down to Mo Baizhi! !
The ghosts showed doubt in their eyes, and even Mao Hua subconsciously murmured: "So you said you want to be serious with us..."
Since we can't take action against them, why should we take real action?
"To frighten you is more than just a matter of attacking you." Bai Zhi glanced at the wary ghosts and said in a low voice, "Besides, even if I could attack you, I wouldn't, because—it would be too much trouble."
As soon as she finished speaking, her mood suddenly became more excited!
All the ghosts looked up and watched her fall in front of Samsara.
The reincarnation of the underworld is located in the center of the underworld, and all ghosts live according to the reincarnation.
Reincarnation is what all ghosts look forward to most.
As long as they enter there, they can become adults again. They no longer have to suffer in the underworld. Life in the underworld is not easy, and reincarnation is the biggest expectation of every ghost!
However, at some point, the cycle of reincarnation slowed down, and the underworld became what it is today.
At this moment, Baizhi fell in front of Lunhui.
All the ghosts looked confused, tilting their heads and looking at the woman standing in front of Samsara.
——What exactly is she going to do?
Bai Zhi stood in front of Lunhui, towering over all the ghosts. She looked down at them and spoke softly.
"I've been thinking about what reincarnation is. Is it about the reincarnation of the dead? Why do people become ghosts after death? What are ghosts? Where do people reincarnate to? What is the principle behind it? How does reincarnation exist? And why does it slow down?"
All the ghosts: "..."
They slowly hit a—"?"
Why did she suddenly bring up these issues again? Wasn't she serious about this?
What is she really going to do?
Why are these questions suddenly raised?
And what are these questions? How do they know what reincarnation is? How do they know what ghosts are?
A ghost is a ghost, could it be some other existence?
What on earth is this woman trying to do?!
"I know you've never thought about it." Bai Zhi's eyes showed a helpless look of being out of tune with the world, and she shook her head. "You take it for granted that you are a ghost, and you take it for granted that there is reincarnation, and you also take it for granted that you accept reincarnation."
Then, she raised her chin slightly, with a sense of superior pride: "But I am different from you. I have been thinking about these questions. I have been exploring these questions since I came into this world."
444: “…”
It had been very silent, but at this moment, it finally couldn't help asking: "Master, is there any mystery behind the existence of ghosts?"
Bai Zhi answered it in her mind: "Of course! This world has made me think about many things. I really like this world. It has brought me a big step closer to the system space."
444: “!!!”
It widened its eyes and couldn't wait to ask, "What? Master, do you know anything?"
However, Bai Zhi didn't say another word to it. She just glanced at the ghosts with blank eyes below her, and then said -
"And now, I finally have an answer!"
"Ghosts are the consciousness of people after they die. Consciousness is just consciousness. It has no form, no body, no carrier. It is just consciousness and thoughts!"
"And you, because you were human in your previous lives, and because your consciousness of yourselves is only in human form, you think you are ghosts, so you are all ghosts!"
As soon as the words were spoken, all the ghosts looked even more bewildered, and only a few understood.
But among this minority, there was also a ghost who was very thoughtful. He immediately raised his voice and asked in disbelief, "So you're saying that we can actually transform into any appearance? Everything we see is fake? Is it just our consciousness telling us so?!"
“That’s right!”
"Impossible! I'm thinking of turning into a tree now. Why can't I do it?!" the ghost continued to question.
Bai Zhi said firmly, "Because your consciousness has already determined that you can't do it, and your consciousness doesn't have that much power. If you believe that you are a tree, you can become a tree, but your consciousness may not be strong enough to make others think you are a tree. Do you understand?"
"What nonsense!" The ghost didn't understand and didn't believe it.
As they argued, the other ghosts gradually came to their senses. They only had a vague understanding of what Bai Zhi said, but this vague understanding made them find it funny.
So, they all questioned:
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"You actually said that we are not like this, and that we are actually just consciousness?"
"I think you're crazy."
"Mo Baizhi, didn't you say you were going to show us what you were doing? What nonsense are you talking about now?"
"Do you think we'll be fooled by just telling us a random theory?"
"Just go to bed. We were all knowledgeable people when we were alive. Who doesn't know about brainwashing and pyramid schemes?"
…
Bai Zhi looked at them and shook her head. "I won't explain too much to you. You don't need to know too much. Since you've decided that you are in this form, then that's it. It doesn't matter anyway."
Without waiting for the ghosts to say anything, Bai Zhi continued, "It's just that you must understand reincarnation. If you don't understand reincarnation, you won't know what's wrong with it."
"Reincarnation is reincarnation, what else could it be?" a ghost said sarcastically.
"Ignorance." Bai Zhi shook her head, her gaze shifting back to the cycle of reincarnation. "I wondered what reincarnation was when I first came to the underworld. Back then, I came here and collected some data. It wasn't until yesterday that I finally analyzed it clearly."
Some of the ghosts standing below were listening attentively, but there was confusion in their eyes.
Some of them no longer cared, thinking she was talking nonsense, and muttered to each other:
"What a woman! Does she think we are so easy to fool?"
"And what is she talking about, science?"
"Come on, she's a celestial master and we're ghosts. We're the most unscientific people in the world!"
"Hahaha, this woman is really crazy."
…
Mao Hua also sneered, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious——
Didn't she just say she was going to take real action against them?
What are you doing now?
Why suddenly move from serious matters to reincarnation?
Baizhi didn't care about their attitude, or even their noise.
She stood in front of Samsara, pushed up her glasses, and when she looked at Samsara, there was a hint of fanaticism in her eyes, and her voice was firm and decisive—
“Reincarnation is a transit station!”
"Because of reincarnation, the underworld exists. Because the underworld exists, your consciousness is stuck here!"
"Reincarnation, what a great name! Consciousness exists forever, but its initial form is just a blank. It is life experiences that give consciousness a richer content. So-called reincarnation is about returning consciousness to its original form!"
"Reincarnation, what a good name."
Bai Zhi smiled, and that smile carried an emotion that others could not understand.
444 has become stagnant.
It is not very smart. In fact, since it was bound to Baizhi, its IQ has been hit again and again. It has realized again and again that the IQ set by the Creator for it is really not high, and it is really stupid.
But no matter how foolish it was, it had followed Bai Zhi through so many worlds, and no matter how foolish it was, it still remembered what Bai Zhi had said at the very beginning—
System space is the space of consciousness.
Now, she mentioned the word "consciousness" again. For some reason, 444 looked at the smile on her face and suddenly felt a shudder run through his body!
——This woman, could she really challenge its creator one day?!
In front of Samsara, Bai Zhi suddenly tilted her head.
She looked at the confused, puzzled, and disdainful ghosts below, and she smiled.
"To put it another way, reincarnation is to cleanse your consciousness and throw you back into various worlds. In turn, each world gathers blank consciousness again, returning to its original form, and the cycle begins anew!"
"This space exists because of reincarnation."
"In other words, if reincarnation doesn't exist, then this space will no longer exist, and neither will you. Your consciousness will likely dissipate and enter reincarnation."
“But the rotation at that time…”
At this point, Bai Zhi suddenly paused and asked them, "Do you know why reincarnation has slowed down? Why are so many of your consciousnesses gathered here?"
The noisy ghosts suddenly quieted down a little, and they looked up at Baizhi.
Even though I kept telling myself that she was talking nonsense, I couldn't help but be attracted by her words.
Black and White Impermanence sneered: "You know?"
Bai Zhi looked at them, her gold-rimmed glasses gleaming as she slowly smiled, "Yes, I know. Is there only one inhabited planet in the universe? Even scientists in this less technologically advanced world know this—of course there are more."
She paused and continued, "Consciousness takes many forms. In this world, people are one way, and in another, they might be something else. But the consciousness is the same. So, the so-called reincarnation, or transit point, connects not only this world, but other worlds as well!"
Under the bewildered gaze of the Black and White Impermanence, she chuckled softly and said, "So, the slower reincarnation cycle means lower efficiency. The reason for this lower efficiency is obvious—the passage to other worlds has been closed. Now, the only place you can still transfer to is the mortal world, the world you lived in before!"
"What you said has no basis! And how do we know that what you said is right?" Black and White Impermanence mocked subconsciously.
Bai Zhi raised her hand and lightly pointed in their direction, her voice extremely helpless—
"Well, then, I'll put it in terms you can understand. Have you ever calculated the death rate and birth rate? Have you ever calculated the number of people who pass through the transit station every day? No, in terms you can understand, the number of reincarnations. Is that the same as the number of newborns?"
The ghosts were stunned.
Even Xian Shucheng fell into deep thought.
Yes, there is reincarnation, and people are reincarnated ghosts, but now, the number of reincarnated ghosts is far less than the number of children born!
Bai Zhi stretched out her hand and drew an arrow in the air——
"I can tell you with certainty that if reincarnation is real, then all of you ghosts have been reincarnated into the world of the living. However, not all newborns in the world of the living are your reincarnations; some come through other transit points!"
"The transit station definitely goes to more than one place. Originally, it could take you to the mortal realm for reincarnation, to the interstellar plane, to the realm of cultivation, to many other planes! But now, it only has one plane. The consciousness in the mortal realm is already saturated and no longer needs you, so you are stranded here."
The ghosts were dumbfounded.
I don’t know why…
Although they didn't understand at first, the more they listened, the more it made sense to them?
Is this brainwashing?
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Okay, I've explained a lot to you stupid people for free. Now, I'm going to get serious with you."
Bai Zhi clapped her hands and smiled. "According to my speculation, if the transit point of this world, that is, Samsara, disappears, then you will all be gone. So, if I destroy Samsara, all of you will cease to exist here."
Ghosts: “…”
Finally, another ghost spoke: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could you destroy the reincarnation? This is-"
The sound stopped abruptly.
Because Bai Zhi drew out the sword with her backhand!
It was the sword that she always carried on her back like a decoration!
There was a flash of silver light, and with a "clang" sound, the sword was inserted into the slowly rotating axis of the wheel.
Then……
The cycle of reincarnation stopped.
All the ghosts were dumbfounded.
All the noise just now disappeared.
They looked up at Bai Zhi, their eyes filled with confusion, shock, fear, and terror! !
