Is this... a question of conscience?
Chu Yao quickly understood the essence of this final test, which was to examine one's conscience.
With this height, he is worthy of being the lord of the palace.
To be fair, things at a level like the origin of life should not be considered by someone at his level of cultivation, but since Sikong Xuan did this, he must have his reasons.
Keep reading.
…
In this "illusion" created by Sikong Xuan, the flow of time is uneven, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. At every important node, the pace will slow down, and unimportant things will be quickly skipped.
The fertilized egg develops and grows in the mother's body, and once the baby is born, a new life is born.
During the ten-month process, we will experience three disasters.
The first disaster is the maternal disaster.
During the gestation process, the baby continuously plunders the mother's nutrients. The baby and the mother's organs instinctively compete with each other, and only the one who wins can obtain nutrient supply.
The second disaster is the disaster of pregnancy.
During the development process, the limbs, internal organs, and brain grow gradually and may become damaged or deformed at any time.
The third disaster is the disaster of birth.
After going through untold hardships in the narrow passage, he was "polluted" by the outside world at birth and cried heartbreakingly.
Chu Yao looked at these images, and his consciousness could clearly feel the pain, with an indescribable charm in it.
Life itself is the greatest creation.
Then comes old age.
Babies grow up, become young people, become middle-aged, and then become old people.
All parts of the body begin to decay gradually at an intuitive and clear speed. Bones begin to become loose, muscles begin to relax, organs begin to dry up, and the body produces a bad odor.
This process lasted for nearly a hundred years. With each pattern and each consciousness, day by day, month by month, year by year, one can clearly feel the helplessness of the passage of time.
The energy, health and memory I once had were gone with the wind bit by bit, and I watched them all disappear before my eyes.
Along with aging comes illness.
Various common human diseases appear in turn on the body, bringing all kinds of pain and unparalleled physical torture.
Yesterday I was as strong as a mountain and full of energy, but the illness came like a mountain falling. In an instant, I became powerless and barely able to breathe.
Until, finally, death.
All vitality disappeared, turning into a cold corpse.
…
The illusion before his eyes disappeared, and Chu Yao appeared in the classroom again.
Looking at the people around, they all lowered their heads, remained silent, and reflected. A silent and dull atmosphere lingered in everyone's heart.
Is this the test?
Chu Yao couldn't help but look up at Sikong Xuan.
Everyone looked up and looked at Sikong Xuan.
"What did you see?"
He asked with a calm expression.
Thousands of insights emerged in Chu Yao's mind.
Birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of nature and cannot be changed by anyone's will.
Even someone as powerful as the female military goddess Wen Yan will still have a day when her body decays and she will have to start all over again.
But even if you start over again, you can't escape reincarnation again.
"Don't rush to answer. Remember everything you just saw and think about the meaning of life, the meaning of living, and the meaning of yourselves."
"For this final exam, I will give everyone full marks, because all people are created equal, and everyone is a miracle. As for you, you are your greatest creation."
"Between life and death, you must choose. When you turn into a handful of wasteland, how would you rate yourself? How would you rate yourself?"
Sikong Xuan said in a deep voice.
To be honest, this statement was a bit beyond Chu Yao's expectations.
This may sound a bit like chicken blood, but if you think about it carefully, it has a kind of profound truth.
This has nothing to do with practice or strength, but is more like a philosophical thinking.
…
"Of the eight sufferings of the human world, the first four are physical, and the next four are mental."
"There is a certain degree of danger. Not everyone is required to take the test. Those who want to leave now can do so. It will not affect the test results."
Sikong Xuan continued, giving everyone the right to choose.
Above the Soaring Realm, spiritual will is one of the important sources of power, even more important than physical and spiritual cultivation. If one's own thoughts are not deep enough, it is easy to fall into the devil's barrier.
Everyone experiences the same physical birth, aging, sickness and death.
But the various mental pains are different.
Some people were silent for a moment, then began to get up and leave. There were only about twenty or thirty people leaving.
Not everyone wants to live a clear life.
Or rather, I had already figured it out a long time ago.
Both true wise men and true fools are very happy, but most ordinary people are unhappy and worry about gains and losses.
Chu Yao thought so.
After hesitating for a while, he chose to be an ordinary person and experience the four spiritual sufferings.
After everyone who wanted to leave had left, Sikong Xuan waved his hand again.
The illusion reappears.
However, at this moment, the scenes that appear before everyone's eyes are different.
What appeared before Chu Yao's eyes was himself.
Or in other words, the opposite of oneself.
From birth to now, I have made many choices. All the choices are like branches, becoming more and more detailed and in-depth, and finally converging into who I am today.
And in the illusion, Chu Yao saw the opposite side of every choice.
The first time he chose to do so was during the gathering with Song Wenjing. In the underground safe house, he rushed out, fought bloody battles, and protected them all. In the end, he was seriously injured and on the verge of death. But Song Wenjing survived.
This is a choice of sacrificing one's life for justice.
The second choice was when he was fighting with Ye Fan. He was cowardly and chose to admit defeat, no longer fighting hard, and left the ring.
