Chapter 100: Guiding Houtu to open reincarnation! The balance of life and death!

~7 min read 1,355 words

"Sister Houtu, there is no such thing as fairness in the world."

"From the perspective of living creatures, the strong preying on the weak is the most basic law of survival."

"Everything done by the strong is the law."

"Everything done by the weak is original sin."

"The strong possess the weak, and the weak bully the even weaker."

"This is the main theme of the Honghuang world."

Seeing that Diti also said so, Houtu immediately wanted to put forward a different opinion.

But just as she opened her mouth, she was attracted by his next words.

"But if you stand from the perspective of heaven and earth."

"We are all mayflies on His body."

"The so-called laws of survival are just excuses we mayflies find to release the desires in our hearts."

"They are not absolute laws established by Him."

"Whether you follow them or not stems from your own heart."

"If you think it's not good, you can change it, you can ignore it; it has nothing to do with Him."

"The problems He cares about are always the disasters that affect the survival of heaven and earth itself."

As he spoke, Diti cast his gaze on the Pangu Temple.

"The Wu Clan is born from the Earthly Calamity Turbid Qi, naturally close to the earth, and born to be loved by the earth."

"Carrying the blessings of Father God, walking on the Honghuang Tian Di, and acting on His behalf to rule over all living beings."

"Sister Houtu, as the bloodline of Father God, you contain the Great Dao of the Earth that embraces all living beings and carries things with great virtue."

"It can be said that you have inherited the compassionate and merciful side of Father God."

"This is why you sometimes appear out of place with Dijiang and the others."

"You can care about all living beings and have compassion for all things."

"Heaven and earth will naturally respond to you."

Hearing this, a sudden realization appeared in Houtu's eyes.

"In other words, everything I feel now actually comes from the guidance of Father God."

"Is heaven and earth trying to tell me that there is a hidden danger in the Honghuang world that is enough to destroy the world?"

As she spoke, Houtu's eyes were covered with confusion.

"But what is this hidden danger?"

"Could it be related to the survival method of the strong preying on the weak?"

"Or is it related to the desires in the hearts of living creatures?"

"If it is really like this, what should I do?"

"To save heaven and earth and not live up to the expectations of Father God?"

Diti looked at Houtu's thoughtful expression.

And immediately decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Sister Houtu, the Buzhou Divine Mountain is transformed from the spine of Father God and should have been eternal and immortal."

"But as time passes, it is less and less like its former divine might."

"Do you know the reason for this?"

Regarding Diti's seemingly unrelated question.

Houtu did not perfunctorily answer, but instead thought about it seriously.

"The reason for the gradual weakening of the Buzhou Divine Mountain."

"Should stem from two aspects."

"As the pillar supporting the world, the living creatures and all things in heaven and earth are constantly increasing, and the pressure it bears is becoming heavier and heavier."

"To bear more pressure, the Buzhou Divine Mountain also needs to release more power to ensure that heaven and earth will not close."

"The other aspect is the baptism of time."

"The more power the Buzhou Divine Mountain releases, the more powerless its own protection becomes."

"Under the constant erosion of the years."

"Even if it only consumes a little bit every day, over the years, it is enough to wear away all the divine might left by Father God."

"When the divine might left by Father God on the Buzhou Divine Mountain is exhausted, that will be the day the Buzhou Divine Mountain collapses."

Speaking of this, loneliness and sadness gradually appeared in Houtu's eyes.

Knowing that the Buzhou Divine Mountain would collapse.

But feeling powerless made her feel extremely self-blaming in her heart.

"What you said is indeed correct."

"But the root cause of all this."

"Ultimately lies in the balance of life and death."

"The balance of life and death?"

Houtu listened to Diti's words, feeling as if she had grasped something in her heart, but always felt it was a little short.

"If life outweighs death, it means that we mayflies will continue to grow until one day, we completely crush heaven and earth, causing all things to return to chaos."

"If death outweighs life, it means that living creatures will gradually disappear, the world is heading towards destruction, and when death covers the world, that is when heaven and earth return to chaos."

"The current Honghuang Tian Di is in a state where life outweighs death."

"And this is one of the main reasons why the Great Calamity descends to cleanse the world."

"After all, if the situation where life outweighs death cannot be effectively suppressed."

"Then simply killing the excess living creatures."

"Letting life fall below death to alleviate the pressure on heaven and earth."

"Is also a good emergency measure."

"Isn't it?"

Listening to Diti's rhetorical question, Houtu fell into deep thought.

How can life and death be balanced?

Where is the limit that heaven and earth can bear?

Is it possible to find an existence that records the limit of life or the limit of death?

If it can be found.

What method should she use to solve it?

Just like heaven and earth descending the Great Calamity.

Directly clearing away the excess life?

But what if the balance is not grasped well?

What if death outweighs life?

One question after another sprouted in her mind.

Making her forget time and space, and completely falling into thought.

Diti looked at Houtu who was deep in thought.

And did not continue to intervene.

The awakening of the Earth Dao and the creation of reincarnation.

All need the other party to explore on their own and figure everything out.

He was able to give so many hints by relying on his ability of foresight and the shielding of the Chaos Bead.

Otherwise, when discussing the balance of life and death just now.

Heaven and earth would have descended thunder to warn him.

In order to avoid anyone disturbing her.

Diti set up a defensive array around Houtu and did not interfere too much.

He turned and walked straight to the Pangu Temple.

"Big Brother, you are here."

However, just as he was about to push open the gate, Dijiang happened to open the gate from inside.

Finding that it was Diti who had come, his face was filled with joy and excitement.

He immediately stepped aside and invited him into the Pangu Temple.

And Zhu Jiuyin, Zhurong, and Gonggong were also practicing in the Pangu Temple.

Seeing Diti, they all stood up to welcome him.

"Zhu Jiuyin (Zhurong, Gonggong) pays respects to Big Brother."

"There is no need for such courtesy between us."

Diti waved his hand with a light laugh, letting everyone not be restrained, while.

Sitting on the seat specially arranged for him by Dijiang.

In fact, there were no seats in the Pangu Temple in the past.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches all sat on the ground or soaked in the blood pool.

Later, anticipating that Wang Shu and Diti would come, there wasn't even a seat.

Plus the fact that there were more and more clan affairs to handle.

Dijiang carved many stone stools and a table that was more than ten meters long, three meters wide, and 1.8 meters high out of chaotic stubborn stone.

So that Diti and the others could have a place to chat and rest when they came.

"Big Brother, I don't know if you have anything to instruct us today?"

Regarding Dijiang's inquiry, Diti nodded slightly.

And stated his purpose.

"I came here today for two things."
