Chen Kuang laughed.
Shen Xingzhu is still the same Shen Xingzhu.
He took a breath.
"I can tell you, but you have to prepare yourself mentally first."
Shen Xingzhu nodded.
Chen Kuang said:
"I reached the edge of the world and saw a moon."
Shen Xingzhu was shocked: "The moon?"
Chen Kuang nodded and said, "Yes, the moon."
"This world already has one moon, but I unexpectedly saw another one, and... that moon is not in this world."
"It's hard to describe where I was. If I had to describe it, it was like a layer of water."
"It was as if we were all living underwater, and I briefly emerged from the water and saw the moon in the sky."
Shen Xingzhu narrowed his eyes. "In other words... you think that everything we see is just a reflection in the water?"
Chen Kuang paused and said:
"Now that you are considered a half-step saint, what do the sun, moon, and stars mean to you?"
This question is not difficult, Shen Xingzhu immediately said:
"The universe's Tai Chi, when gathered, becomes chaos; when dispersed, it becomes the stars. The celestial sphere revolves, forming the four seasons."
The Cangyuan people's understanding of the stars is not so primitive. They knew the composition of the universe early on.
To them, the stars are just countless pebbles scattered in the universe.
But some of these stones, like magical treasures, naturally possess tremendous energy and can even trigger resonance with spiritual energy.
The most representative of them are the sun and the moon.
Chen Kuang asked:
"I once saw Dong Huang and the Liang State Patriarch battle each other, using the sky as a board and the stars as chess pieces... How far do you think the will of a saint can extend?"
Shen Xingzhu pondered for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed.
Chen Kuang looked up at the sky outside the window and said:
"Did you think of it? The distance between the stars in Cang Yuan is much smaller than that in this world, and it's not just a few times, it's tens of millions of times smaller."
"Compared to him, Cang Yuan is just like a young child."
Shen Xingzhu took a deep breath:
"Indeed... the stars in Cangyuan are too small and too close together, as if they were compressed together."
"Using the starry sky as a chessboard, if this world were used, it would be absolutely impossible to do it."
Chen Kuang added: "I once used the 'time and space' method to create a rift in the sky of Cangyuan."
"Only now do I realize that the aura revealed by that crack is exactly the same as this so-called 'Desire Realm'."
"So, I have a guess—"
He looked at Shen Xingzhu and said word by word:
"The sky is solid and the earth is round; the sun and the moon are false."
"These eight words mean that the world is like a layered sphere, with Cang Yuan at the innermost part."
"And the 'Desire Realm' is wrapped in the outer layer of Cang Yuan."
"Beyond the 'desire realm', there must be another world. That is the real world."
"Whether it's the Desire Realm or Cang Yuan, they are nothing more than reflections in the water of that world, just like the sun and moon we see."
…
Chen Kuang's guess was so shocking to Shen Xingzhu that it took her a whole day to accept it.
But then, after Chen Kuang came back from a trip, he came to an even more unacceptable conclusion.
"Cang Yuan is not a complete reincarnation without a soul."
Chen Kuang said so.
Shen Xingzhu had no expression on his face:
"As everyone knows, only saints do not enter the cycle of reincarnation. If you even want to overturn this, aren't you directly overturning the existence of saints?"
Chen Kuang shook his head:
"Saints do not enter the reincarnation cycle of mortals."
"Because the reincarnation of saints is only in Cangyuan, while the reincarnation of mortals is between the 'Desire Realm' and Cangyuan."
It turned out that Chen Kuang took advantage of the fact that he was only in "spiritual decline" and pretended to be friendly with those "celestial demons" to test them.
Finally I realized that the "Heavenly Demon" was actually the saint of the "Desire Realm".
That’s right, “celestial demons” are beings that only reincarnate in the “desire realm”.
The mortals in the two worlds are not without reincarnation, nor do they transform back into all things in the world.
Instead, they returned to each other's world and became mortals again!
Those Night Barbarians are actually the soul fragments that failed to reincarnate successfully. They were originally piled up between the two worlds and had nowhere to go.
But one day, because the "Demon King" opened the channel between the two worlds, they were able to return to the human world by relying on the flesh and blood of the dead humans.
But this flesh and blood is not stable, especially their souls are not complete. Once the body is damaged to a certain extent, the soul will immediately disperse.
This is the truth behind why they must eat humans to survive.
If they don't eat, it means that their bodies will gradually disintegrate and turn into soul fragments again.
And why is it that the more wars there are, the more deaths there are, and the more Night Barbarians there are?
Of course it’s because they are the soul fragments produced after the death of these humans!
However, the "Demon" can be reincarnated repeatedly in the "Desire Realm" stably and continue to survive with different identities. This answers Chen Kuang's question of "What if the 'Demon' dies?"
Until one day, the "Demon" discovered Cang Yuan's existence.
It is conceivable that they were originally just mortals who were able to retain their memories. Although they have been reincarnated, they can only be trapped in weak mortal bodies.
Suddenly, they discovered that there was a world with such a powerful force and what kind of ambitions it would breed.
Moreover, the possession of a "celestial demon" is always short-lived, because the soul of the body is squeezed out and the owner of the body will die soon.
They need to "settle down".
