As soon as the words fell, Visheja walked into the house with the demon disciple and said to Lawrence Lu, “Are you the messenger from the Tianshi Mansion?”
Lawrence Lu stood up straight, turned around and looked at Vishakha, then said calmly: “That’s right.”
Bishacha raised his hand and said, "I am here on the orders of the Demon Lord to welcome the envoy to the Great Paradise City. Envoy, please come in."
Lu Zhongran held his head high and chest out, took firm steps, and boarded the chariot prepared for him under the vigilant "welcome" of Pishecha and other demon disciples.
Afterwards, the huge ceremonial team drove out of Wanghai Port and onto a wide and huge road paved with magic light, going straight into the sky and heading towards the Great Paradise City, the royal city of Paradise.
...
After Lu Zhongran was taken to the Great Paradise City, he was arranged to stay in a palace that was heavily guarded and surrounded by numerous formations.
From the beginning to the end, Patriarch Boxun had no intention of letting the mortals from the Western Continent see Lu Zhongran.
But the news that the Tianshi Mansion sent an envoy was leaked, so all the mortals in the entire Western Continent were very curious about the envoy from the Tianshi Mansion.
However, curiosity aside, all the mortals in the Western Continent now believe in the 'Jiliao Dao', and their memories of the Tianshi Mansion have become very vague, and even exist only in legends.
Even more, many fanatical believers of the Paradise Way began to petition, hoping that the "Great Paradise Lord" would kill the heretics of the Tianshi Mansion in order to demonstrate the majesty of the Great Paradise Kingdom.
The Great Lord of Bliss, this is the title that the ancestor Mara gave himself. Because he wanted to establish the Kingdom of Bliss and spread the way of Bliss, he was naturally the Great Lord of Bliss.
As the initial petition appeared, all the mortals in the Western Continent began to petition, calling for the execution of Lu Zhongran.
Finally, on the eve of the founding ceremony of the Paradise Country, the ancestor Boxun finally issued a decree, telling all mortals in the Western Continent that he would sacrifice Lu Zhongran's soul at the founding ceremony of the Paradise Country.
As soon as this decree was issued, the entire Paradise Kingdom fell into a frenzy, and nearly 100,000 sacrifices took place throughout the country that day.
The reason for so many sacrifices is mainly due to the teachings of the Pure Land taught by the ancestor Poxun.
The doctrine of the Pure Land Way states that all living beings in the world have the right to enjoy the state of bliss. Hard work and struggle are against the will of heaven. Only by working less and gaining more and enjoying life to the fullest is the right way.
So how do you get more with less work? It's simple: make a sacrifice.
If a husband wants delicious food, a luxurious house, or gold and silver, he can obtain them by sacrificing his wife. But how should the sacrifice be made? The teachings of the Pure Land Path also have clear regulations.
As long as you bring your wife to the edge of the "Paradise Pool", cut off one of her arms and put it into the pool, you can enjoy delicious food for five years.
Two arms can bring you enough gold, silver and treasures to squander for ten years; two arms and two legs can bring you enough wealth to enjoy for a lifetime.
If all the wives were sacrificed, then one only needed to cut off their heads and place them in the Paradise Pool, and then one could obtain a hundred years of life and ultimate enjoyment.
Of course, the body and soul of the sacrificed wife will enter the Paradise Pool. As long as she believes in the Paradise Path, she will be reborn after ten years and enjoy ten years of bliss.
Therefore, no matter whether it is the sacrificer or the sacrificed, no matter whether it is the strong or the weak, they can all obtain the bliss they want.
In fact, the Paradise Pool is the 'Blood Soul Pool' opened up by the ancestor Poxun using his great magical powers. It will collect the souls, bodies and blood of all the sacrificed people.
In order to make everyone believe in the Way of Paradise, every person who is sacrificed, as long as they persist in believing in the Way of Paradise, then after ten years, the ancestor Bo Xun will randomly select some suitable limbs in the Blood Soul Pool to shape a new body, and send the soul of the person to be "reborn" into this body, and the "rebirth" will be considered happy.
Each person sacrificed has two chances to be reborn. After being reborn twice, their soul will be completely refined by the ancestor Po Xun, but the public will be told that they have gone to the Great Paradise to enjoy eternal bliss.
Moreover, under the teachings of the Pure Land, all human relations and morals are gone, and you can truly do whatever you want.
Moreover, the Paradise also strictly stipulates auspicious days for sacrifices. Sacrifices on unauspicious days will have no effect.
Therefore, under this doctrine, the population of the entire Western Continent increased instead of decreased, and ethics between people completely disappeared.
For example, my sister is also a daughter... my grandfather is also a father...
The Western Continent of the Haolan Realm is a world where human ethics have completely collapsed. It is a place that is enough to make Confucian students die instantly at the first sight of it.
This is why Fang Jian said: "The war with the outer demons is not just a battle of whose Taoism is more powerful or whose magic weapon is more powerful, but a battle of faith."
It is easy for a place to be infected by evil spirits, but it will cost a huge price and make great sacrifices to bring the creatures in this place back to the right path.
