Chapter 382: Fighting Poison with Poison
The old man of the dead fell into silence at once.
He discovered that this was indeed a problem.
All along, if he wanted other living beings to believe in death, he only needed to show these beings this Gospel.
But the heretic of the True Gospel before him had already read the Gospel several times, and there was no reaction at all; it simply did not conform to Reason.
"How about you read the Gospel a few more times?"
The old man of the dead asked tentatively.
"How about I just chop you down instead."
Li Heng replied nonchalantly.
"Wait, wait, don't be so irritable."
The old man of the dead spoke up in a hurry.
"You look like you're very afraid of death."
"And you call yourself a believer of the 'Great Death'."
Li Heng shook his head.
Perhaps the brainwashing ability of this Death Gospel was poor, not as good as the True Gospel? Or perhaps this old man of the dead had a peculiar train of thought?
"Ahem, I can take out a portion of my Source Power of Death to let you commune with the Great Death, would you be willing?" The old man of the dead pretended not to hear Li Heng's words, coughed, and said solemnly.
"Then what are you waiting for?"
The old man of the dead's expression stiffened, and he was silent for a moment, cursing Li Heng in his heart; if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat him, he would have already made a move. But in the end, he still reached out and plunged his hand into his own chest, tearing it open, blood and flesh dripping, and pulled out a black ball of light from within.
"This is the Source Power of Death."
"You only need to become one with the Great Power, and you will be able to commune with death and believe in death," the old man of the dead said hurriedly.
Li Heng took a look at this black ball of light.
This ball of light was indeed, as the old man of the dead said, pure Source Power of Death, even purer than the Reincarnation death power possessed by his Nether Emperor Lord avatar.
"Speak like a human," Li Heng said faintly.
"Just put this ball of light into your body."
The old man of the dead said, not daring to play coy.
He could sense that this heretic's patience was wearing thin, so he could not afford an accident at this critical moment.
Li Heng was thoughtful.
The reason he had been wasting breath with this old man of the dead until now was mainly to see what the so-called Gospel, the so-called Death Gospel, actually was, so that he could make plans for the future.
And to investigate the truth of it.
Pretending to believe in the Death Gospel was a good choice.
Anyway, what he had here was only an avatar, and he still had plenty of Source Power, so he wasn't worried about crashing. In fact, because the black hole had previously destroyed most of the aberrant Heaven and Earth and wiped out many monsters, his Source Power had risen instead of falling, reaching as much as two hundred billion.
Li Heng did not waste time and integrated the black ball of light into his body.
At this moment, the boulder in the old man of the dead's heart finally landed.
He knew he had won, his body twisting in wild joy.
Li Heng felt that his current state was very strange; his spirit seemed to have crossed the infinite Void and space-time, arriving at a dark and mysterious place, and here existed a voice.
A voice named death.
The voice rippled and resounded, echoing in the Great Void, having infected who knows how many Heaven and Earth, appearing to be the ultimate of everything, the Eternal correctness.
Li Heng's eyes gradually became dazed, and death echoed in his mind.
Death is the ultimate, the correct, the Eternal.
Death is the final destination of all things, and also the Gospel of all things...
Infinite truths of death echoed in his mind.
Until it touched the Source Power protection mechanism Li Heng had specifically set up. Then, in an instant, Li Heng regained his reason; the so-called truths of death continued to sound, but they no longer had any influence on his mind.
Li Heng's thoughts calmed down as he pondered.
This is the truth of the Death Gospel?
No, what he was in contact with now was perhaps only the surface of the Death Gospel, the shape of its outline, not its true essence; after all, it was impossible to know everything just by pretending to believe.
It was just that this was already terrifying enough.
He had just heard the echoes and aftershocks of the Death Gospel's voice, merely perceiving the surface, yet his mind had already fallen and sunk into it; if not for the Source Power, he would have truly crashed, or at the very least, this avatar would have been unsalvageable.
He listened more carefully.
Li Heng suddenly discovered that it seemed there wasn't just this one voice of death; there seemed to be other noises as well. It was just that these noises seemed too far away to be heard clearly.
He used his Source Power to slightly enhance his hearing.
Although it was still unclear.
Li Heng still managed to capture two words.
"True"!
Could this be the so-called True Gospel?
Li Heng wanted to investigate further, but he discovered that these noises did not appear at any time or place. Now, these noises had been drowned out by the voice of death, leaving no way to investigate.
Moreover, a premonition rose in his heart: do not probe casually, otherwise there would surely be a Great Disaster and Great Tribulation. He might be able to withstand it and not die, at most running away, but the Xianshi Tiandi certainly could not withstand it.
After waiting a while longer, he found there were no new changes.
Li Heng sighed, his mind stirred, and he returned to Reality.
At any rate, he had gained something.
Li Heng slowly opened his eyes.
The old man of the dead nearby was very happy to see this.
"Praise the Greatness of death!"
In the eyes of the dead old man, Li Heng had now become a believer in death and would absolutely not make any mistakes, so there was no need to ask any questions.
This was not arrogance either.
The dead old man was very clear about the Greatness of the Gospel of death.
And his expectation was not wrong; if it weren't for Li Heng possessing Source Power that exceeded specifications, this avatar would have definitely crashed.
At this moment, Xiao Hao, who was lying flat nearby, also felt a bit uneasy.
This dead old man was too happy, wasn't he?
Could this big shot have really fallen for it?
That shouldn't be.
Then, the next moment, Li Heng's words made Xiao Hao feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"That's right, praise the Greatness of death."
Li Heng smiled slightly.
"However, I am a bit curious, to what extent has the pasture progressed? Have all the human race already become dead people?"
The dead old man shook his head upon hearing this.
"Not yet, there is still a portion of the human race that remains in the state of Living Dead, but it is not far off. They are completely unable to perceive that they are transforming into dead people, and sooner or later they will embrace the Greatness of death."
Li Heng nodded.
"Dragging it out for so long, what if an accident happens?"
The dead old man laughed.
"That is impossible. As long as the voice of death can still sound in this era, the process of the human race becoming dead people cannot be reversed, and all living beings will also sooner or later return to the Greatness of death."
"Then it doesn't matter if I kill you, right?"
Li Heng asked.
"That is natural." The dead old man nodded triumphantly.
"Very well, then die."
Li Heng slapped his hand onto the dead old man's shoulder, directly shattering his body, soul, and True Spirit, and the sensation of Source Power arriving echoed in his mind.
He clapped his hands and glanced at Xiao Hao, who had been trembling earlier and was now stunned and looking blank after Li Heng slapped the dead old man to death.
"Why do you look so scared, kid?"
"Come, the organization has entrusted you with another major task."
"I will let you become a believer in the Greatness of the True Gospel."
Li Heng narrowed his eyes and smiled, intending to fight poison with poison.
