Chapter 466

Wu Pifu agreed to Vesperion's request.

As long as he could return to the real world, he would definitely bring Vesperion back together.

Next, Wu Pifu obtained a detailed map from Vesperion through prophecy, which marked the places occupied by the remnants of the Seven Towers, almost directly reaching the Gluttony Forbidden Area where the Empire was located.

"Saint, be very careful. Even in the lands, the Seven Towers belong to the most terrifying kind, because they directly use the power of origin-level existence. This is invincible, but it will also quickly pollute and fall, and then turn into a catastrophe. This is also the reason why the Seven Towers were jointly wiped out before. Unless you sublimate yourself, you cannot resist. Remember, remember."

Wu Pifu already knew this. When he was eroded by Lust, he was almost forced into a desperate situation.

The origin-level pollution characteristics did indeed undergo a qualitative change all of a sudden, which was completely different from all the pollution attributes he had faced in the past. It was a difference across levels. He really couldn't resist it now.

"Falling from reality, after the appearance of the extraordinary, life is divided into three levels: ordinary life, sublimation body, and origin. The relationship between the three is a sublimation of essence. When separated by one level, it is still possible to fight and win, but when separated by two levels, it is truly the difference between heaven and earth, similar to a real person and a fictional character in a novel. They are in different dimensions and have no comparability at all. This is also why you can defeat the Golden Body Luo Han, but have the danger of falling when facing a little bit of origin pollution."

Beelzebub had been telling Wu Pifu this information along the way. She said, "Only by being separated by one level can you fight against it. For example, in the memory I vaguely recovered, the Heavenly Court seemed to have a past where a sublimation body with extremely strong combat power defeated an origin-level existence. Of course, that was offending the superior. In a civilization where rules are greater than heaven like the Heavenly Court, the end of this sublimation body was miserable. It seemed that after being skinned, its life essence was refined into a pill."

Wu Pifu asked while rushing forward quickly, "Then how to become a sublimation body? What is the essence of a sublimation body?"

Beelzebub said, "There are two ways to become a sublimation body. One is to follow an extraordinary system all the way, and then after reaching the limit, obtain the gift of the origin to which this extraordinary system belongs, and give the origin artistic conception, thereby achieving sublimation. Another way is to break the limit by yourself after reaching the limit of that extraordinary path, thereby becoming a sublimation body."

"As for the essence of the sublimation body, I haven't recovered much memory, only knowing some definitions. You can refer to it yourself. They are flawless, leakless, mixed yuan as one, self-circulating. After reaching this step, it is a sublimation body."

Wu Pifu carefully remembered this information, and he also recalled when he took the Golden Body Luo Han into his sea of consciousness, its essence was washed away by the mental negative backlash to the end. It was a round golden pill, incredibly tough. Finally, that part had a sense of perfection. Even in the infinite negative of the sea of consciousness, it stood firm for a long time. At that time, he had some ideas.

While speaking, Wu Pifu rushed forward with Beelzebub. And his body had been fully restored, and after the second body tempering after the martial arts "Seeing the Divine, Indestructible", his body was reborn. His skin, muscles, meridians, bones, and internal organs were almost brand new. His blood and Qi were so thick that they didn't look like humans. In the dream world above 0.7, just in terms of body, he could already be called a land immortal.

With such physical fitness, he could fly at a stable speed of about 3,500 meters per second in a normal state. If it was an explosive advance, he could stabilize at a speed of about 4,500 meters per second, and he could explode for six or seven hours at a time before running out of strength.

Because there was a map, and Wu Pifu didn't take Jiujiu and Daphne, the speed was very fast along the way. Even though the area of this world was vast and there were jungles and mountains, he arrived near the capital of the Imperial territory after more than five hours. From here, it was the Gluttony Forbidden Area.

Wu Pifu didn't rush into it immediately. When he stood at this border, he felt a palpitation, the same feeling as when he faced Lust before. Then he probed and deepened little by little according to this danger premonition, trying to find the characteristics of Gluttony, one of the Seven Deadly Sins of Life, and then let Beelzebub see it, so that she could recall more things.

Looking at the wilderness, he didn't see anything special, not even a trace of human smoke. Wu Pifu walked inside according to his danger premonition. He advanced about five kilometers, but his danger premonition didn't increase much.

Just then, he saw foreign objects appearing in front of him. It was a wriggling fat mass, about three meters high, wriggling on the ground. Vaguely, more than a dozen limbs could be seen, but it was completely unrecognizable as a human form. This fat mass crawled on the lawn, and everything disappeared wherever it crawled—the lawn, various insects on the lawn all disappeared. Then this fat mass crawled toward a big tree.

"Is Gluttony a biochemical crisis?"

Wu Pifu murmured, watching the fat meat mass crawl onto the tree, easily swallowing a big tree from the roots to the crown. Vaguely, this fat mass carried green and plant fiber colors.

"... No, it shouldn't be that simple." Beelzebub was also puzzled. Just looking at this picture, this was a physical flesh deformation. This was much worse than Lust in terms of style. Lust's erosion already involved the infinite cycle of satisfaction and dissatisfaction at the philosophical concept level. Gluttony, also one of the Seven Deadly Sins of Life, shouldn't have such a big gap, right?

And Beelzebub vaguely had an intuition that even if her body was a combination of all the Seven Deadly Sins, it was at least one of the top two, comparable to Pride (Lucifer) and Wrath (Satan), and even vaguely exceeded the strength of a thread.

It shouldn't be this weak, right?

Wu Pifu said noncommittally. He watched for a long time, seeing the huge fat mass with green meaning crawl toward other trees. He shook his head slightly and said, "Let's continue to deepen. The danger premonition I feel now is not strong yet. Let's see again. Tell me when you have new memories."

After speaking, Wu Pifu continued to go deep into the forbidden area. Because he had martial arts intuition, he could control the distance of contacting Gluttony pollution, so there was no danger along the way. But walking along the way, he basically saw fat masses one by one, the big ones were seven or eight meters in diameter, and the small ones were three or four meters in diameter, all rolling on the grassland to find plants or other insects and animals. But from here on, the land inside was desolate.

"Is it really a biochemical crisis?"

Wu Pifu frowned. He couldn't believe it, because the death threat perceived by his danger premonition was no less than the previous Lust, and even slightly exceeded it. The most critical thing was that the feeling perceived by his danger premonition was very strange. There was an unspeakable feeling, which seemed to be something more terrifying and terrible than death...

Just then, Wu Pifu and Beelzebub saw a huge fat sphere with a diameter of thirty meters. This sphere rolled forward on the ground in a rolling posture. It not only swallowed all plants and insects, but even other fat spheres were swallowed into it, and its volume became larger and larger.

"... It's the second stage." Suddenly, Beelzebub said this in a completely strange, indifferent tone.

Wu Pifu frowned and hurriedly looked at the big fly, "What?"

"What what?" Beelzebub asked inexplicably.

Suddenly, at this moment, Wu Pifu's eyebrows jumped. He stepped on the ground and rushed out more than two thousand meters away. This was not enough. He continued to retreat for a full twenty or thirty thousand meters. Then, in the next instant, this huge fat sphere exploded. It was not like the flesh and internal organs flying around as he imagined, but individual lives burst out from the huge fat mass one by one.

There were people, cattle, sheep, horses, chickens, dogs, cats, a large number of trees and grass, and many insects. And there was no sign of deformation; they were all independent lives.

But before Wu Pifu could feel confused, these individuals who fell to the ground began to swallow each other. Cattle, sheep, and horses swallowed each other, chickens, dogs, and cats swallowed each other, humans swallowed each other, insects and plants swallowed each other. And humans made the sounds of cattle, sheep, and horses, insects made the sounds of cats and dogs, trees and grass made human sounds. Various animals and plants grew giant mouths different from the ordinary from their bodies, chewing each other. You swallow me, I swallow you. Very quickly, they were no longer distinguishable from each other, turning into a pool of rotten meat that kept wriggling, swallowing, and growing...

"I, I remember!"

Beelzebub screamed loudly, "Seven Deadly Sins of Life, the essence of Lust is self-satisfaction and dissatisfaction in an infinite cycle, while the essence of Gluttony is the decay and rebirth of life in an infinite cycle. All life eroded by Gluttony will not truly die. What can be called Gluttony? It is not never satisfied, but never able to swallow enough. Anything eaten will live forever with the swallower. Whether it is animals, plants, insects, or even microorganisms and bacteria, even if divided into one centimeter, one millimeter, one cell, they will live from the meaning of life, and then mix with the life that gluttonizes all this, the infinite cycle of decay and rebirth, the infinite cycle of eating and being eaten!!"

"This is the second stage, and then the third stage is corruption, born from flies and insects. These flies and insects are their sins. All life will be gluttonized by flies and insects while alive, and then the flies and insects will turn into all of them who are gluttonized. The cycle of life and matter will live forever here..."

Beelzebub's voice became more and more indifferent, more and more strange. When she said the word "live forever", she seemed to have turned into another kind of life.

Wu Pifu flicked Beelzebub gently. The big fly shook for a while, and then screamed, "Why flick me again!?"

Wu Pifu looked at the terrifying "eternal life" scene in front of him. He retreated another ten thousand meters subconsciously, and then he said, "Do you remember how to crack the corrosion of the Seven Deadly Sins of Life now?"

Beelzebub felt the strangeness. She was silent for a while, took a breath and said, "Just now I... forget it, don't flick me again. What is your Sleepless Spiritual Light for? Try shining it on me. But I really remembered how to solve the problem of Lust corrosion. It's a method you can do now, but it's very dangerous. Consider whether to implement it yourself..."

"Lust is self-satisfaction and dissatisfaction in an infinite cycle. Its essence is one level worse than my Gluttony. To save the life forms that have sublimated after being eroded by Lust, you need to break the cycle!"

"This is also the essence of all origins, the essence that sublimation bodies do not possess—cycle, the infinite closed-loop cycle of self. As long as you can break the cycle of Lust's self-satisfaction and dissatisfaction, then you can save the life eroded by Lust. Others can't do it, but you can really do it. After all, Yaoyao is a silly love brain..."

Wu Pifu was overjoyed and asked hurriedly, "How to do it?"

Beelzebub seemed to be holding back laughter and said, "Save Yaoyao, and then break the surface with a point. As for the rescue method..."

"Borrow the Heavenly Court, Yin and Yang harmony!"
