As the contemporary chief of the Pure Land of Eternal Life, Zhan Xing's status is like that of the young leader in the sect. If nothing unexpected happens, when she grows up, she will succeed the position of high priest and become the next leader of the Pure Land of Eternal Life.
Therefore, she naturally knows many secrets of her own organization.
The Eternal Pure Land was established in the late period of the rise of the God King, that is, when the God King successfully drove the angels out of the witch world and began to escape and develop with the world.
At that time, in order to accelerate the growth of the witch world, increase the number of witch talents, and reduce the loss of some unnecessary talents, the God King authorized two followers to set up a department dedicated to studying death and reincarnation. The ultimate goal was to build
Hades system.
That special department was the predecessor of the Eternal Pure Land, and the two followers of the God King were the founders of the Eternal Pure Land and the ancestors of their descendants.
Of course, most people actually only know the titles of these two ancestors, but do not know their names, but Zhan Xing knows it. When she became the chief, her teacher, the current high priest, once led
I took her to pay homage to the portraits of the two ancestors.
Red Moon Sage Lilith, Eternal Sage Joan.
This is the name of those two ancestors.
Among them, the Red Moon Sage is the founder of the reincarnation system in the underworld, while the Eternal Sage is more specialized in the spirit body itself.
One pursues the natural reincarnation after death, while the other pursues the eternal existence of the soul even if the body dies.
The differences in the respective philosophies of the two founders eventually led to their parting ways. Red Moon Sage chose to practice her own success personally. She could have been immortal and often took the initiative to reincarnate.
The Eternal Sage has always guarded the Hades. She is the Lord of the Underworld. The Eternal Pure Land is the training organization she later founded to better train staff for the Hades.
Zhan Xing was not a student of Witch Academy originally. She and her teammates originally followed Master Clown to perform the task of monitoring the Angel Mission, but she didn’t know what was going on. Anyway, as soon as Witch Night began, she just felt
She felt a sudden and intense sleepiness hit her, and then when she regained consciousness, she was in this witch's night.
However, she herself was not too alarmed by this. Instead, she felt it was quite novel. After all, she had never been to school...
e. It can’t be said that he has never gone to school. After all, the Pure Land of Eternal Life is originally a college. It is just an underworld college that specializes in training civil servants in the underworld. It is a kind of private school.
However, there are more ghosts than people in the Pure Land of Eternal Life, so there is really nothing to entertain. Most of them are doing scientific research in their own tomb laboratories on weekdays, and they rarely talk, let alone engage in activities.
Zhan Xing remembered that the biggest event she had ever participated in was when a certain senior zombie witch was finally admitted to Hades, and she happily invited everyone to dance on her grave to celebrate.
Well, even though Zombie Star herself is a ghost witch, she still felt that the celebration was a bit too underworld.
Now, it was rare for her to experience the earthly activities of Witch Academy, so she was naturally a little happy.
Especially when she learned that this was the middle stage of the rise of the God King and the time when he was about to have a decisive battle with the angels, she was even more excited. She thought at that time that she might have a chance to meet the young ancestors.
Of course, she was just thinking about it at that time. After all, how could she, a little witch with no money and power, have the opportunity to get in touch with the people around the God King? Her two ancestors must have been big shots now.
Not that nice to see.
But reality sometimes turns out to be more complicated than planned.
The day after she landed, she met her boss, Mr. Clown. Within a few days, she received a new mission from Mr. Clown, asking her to participate in the Hades construction plan. Then, she inexplicably became friends with her ancestors.
colleagues.
Anyway, until now, Zhan Xing often feels as if he is in a dream...
Okay, she is indeed dreaming now, but it really feels like she has been appointed by someone. What is her identity, Master Clown? Why can she kill me so easily?
It was stuffed into this top-secret plan.
When he thought of his mysterious boss, Zhanxing became very curious.
However, as a judge, she still has basic professional qualities. If you know what you should know, you will know it naturally. Don't ask too much about things you shouldn't know. There is really no benefit in knowing too much about some things. It turned out to be
If she does the tasks given by her boss well, she will be done with them.
Besides, it feels really great to be able to work with the ancestors.
Although the current ancestors are far from as knowledgeable as later generations, and are rather immature, and their theoretical level is not as solid as that of a future person like her, but the ancestor is the ancestor after all, and there is nothing to say about his talent. Some things she just casually based on the experience of later generations.
As soon as she mentioned it, the ancestors would react immediately, and then they would draw inferences from one example and look at her in shock.
Anyway, she learned a lot from these two ancestors these days.
Of course, this is secondary. The main thing is that she is really building Hades now, and is even one of the three people in charge of the Hades project. This feeling of personally experiencing history makes Zhan Xing extremely satisfied.
She is really full of motivation now and wishes she could eat, drink and sleep in Hades every day so as to better contribute to the construction of Hades.
However, this sudden meeting has somewhat disrupted her rhythm.
"Director Qiong, why do you have to have a meeting all of a sudden? Did something happen?"
Zhan Xing curiously asked the young Patriarch beside him.
Regarding this, Qiong thought about it for a while, and after making sure it was not information that needed to be kept secret, she opened her mouth to explain.
"Nothing, it's just a regular meeting. I need to report the latest progress to the Prime Minister and the Head of State. But in the end, there is indeed a new research project to be launched. I should be responsible for it, but I have too much work in my hands.
So I recommended you to the Prime Minister."
"What project?"
Zhanxing frowned after hearing this. Now all she could think about was dedicating herself to constructing Hades. She had no time to think about other research projects.
"Mechanical Reincarnation."
Joan replied.
Burial Star: "...."
What are these?
Zhan Xing suddenly lost his composure, why is it a machine again?
This time the Night of the Witch is different from the official history. The Burial Star has known this for a long time. After all, the normal witch world is a purely magical civilization, and there is no Mechanicum or magic equipment system.
As a witch, Zhan Xing instinctively rejects these things. She still feels that pure magic is more effective, and she is not willing to study any machinery.
"What's wrong, don't you want to?"
Seeing that this talented junior didn't look very good, Qiong also frowned and asked.
"If you don't want to, forget it, I can do it myself."
She thought for a moment, and then said this vigorously.
"No, no, no, yes, of course I am willing."
Seeing that the ancestor just abandoned him and prepared to leave alone, Zhanxing quickly chased after him.
Alas, what else can we do? Since it is the mission of the ancestor, then naturally we have to bite the bullet and do it.
However, Qiong just looked back at her, and then said seriously.
"This task is very important. If you complete it with emotion, then I think you are no longer the right candidate."
She has always been an upright person and speaks out when she has something to say. It can be said that her emotional intelligence is very low.
However, Zhanxing didn't think much about it. Instead, she calmed down her mood seriously, adjusted her mentality, and then looked at the ancestor in front of her seriously.
"Director Qiong, don't you think a pure spiritual body is better? A mechanical body is completely unnecessary, right?"
She looked at the ancestor in front of her and asked.
In reality, the Immortal Sage Qiong is the one who carries the way of the spirit body through to the end. She is also the origin of the Ghost Witch. As a Ghost Witch, Burial Star now just wants to ask the Patriarch why you rebelled.
I heard the young man in front of me ask.
Asked, looking at the other party's serious eyes, Qiong also fell into deep thought. She did not answer casually, but thought seriously for a moment before speaking.
"The path to a pure spiritual body does have some feasibility, but it is ultimately an evil path."
"Why?"
Zhanxing asked quickly.
At this time, her mood was a little complicated, after all, the patriarch in the dream in front of her had personally denied the path she had followed throughout her life in reality.
That is the road that leads directly to the position of a sage. How can such a smooth road be considered an evil path? Then what are the successors who follow the path of the spiritual body? Are they going astray?
"Because it is too narrow, so narrow that only a few extremely talented people can get through it. It is not suitable for the masses and cannot save the world."
"Besides, the body, soul, and mind are a trinity, each of which is indispensable. The pure spiritual path without the body is bound to have its limits."
Joan explained very patiently.
But it was Zhan Xing's turn to have nothing to say about this.
After all, what the founder said is the truth.
This path created by the Immortal Sage has a very high entry barrier. After all, the condition for the birth of the Ghost Witch is that the witch must completely abandon her original body and then convert her soul into a ghost.
Therefore, you can directly understand that if you want to get started, you must commit suicide first.
What's even more embarrassing is that even if you commit suicide, you may not be able to succeed.
Because as the founder said, body, soul, and mind are three parts of the same body. The body is the residence of the soul, and the soul is the container of the soul. All three are indispensable.
Once the protection of the body is lacking, the soul will be easily deformed, thus affecting the purity of spiritual consciousness.
For example, after a person dies, if his soul does not enter reincarnation for a long time, it will soon lose its humanity and turn into evil ghosts, and may even attack the blood relatives it valued most during its lifetime.
Even after the death of witches, the souls of weak witches will still be severely deformed without the protection of their bodies. Generally, only witches above the great witch can achieve soul stability.
But the great witches generally have their own path, and they will definitely not think about changing jobs to become ghost witches. Only the weak ordinary witches have this need, but most of them cannot meet the extremely high level.
entry threshold.
Only those little witches with extremely high soul talents, but who died unexpectedly early before they could grow up, are suitable to take the path of ghost witches, just like Burial Star herself.
As for the spiritual path having limits, this is also true. After all, the immortal sages in reality have not made progress for tens of thousands of years.
However, most witches cannot reach the realm of sages even if they spend their entire lives, let alone the immortal sages who are considered the strongest among the sages. Can such a limit really be called a limit?
Do you still want to go higher? Do you think of the three kings, or even the realm of omniscience and omnipotence?
For a moment, Zhanxing was in a complicated mood, and she really didn't know what to say. After all, her goal in life was just to reach the top, and the sage would just let it happen.
All I can say is that the Patriarch deserves to be the Patriarch, and the little witch really doesn’t understand the elder’s troubles.
While she was silent, Qiong continued to speak. She looked at the young man in front of her as if she were looking at herself five hundred years ago.
"Actually, if it were me when I was young, I would probably agree with your point of view. I think the pure spiritual path is also quite good. After all, my own soul talent is indeed pretty good and I can make it work, even if I give up this path.
With a fragile body and only relying on my soul, I can live for a long time, and I can even achieve the immortality that everyone dreams of."
"But now, I am a Mechanicus monk, and the teachings of the Mechanicus have helped me understand what is the correct path."
"It's the end of the world outside now. What's the point of my detachment alone? Do I have to endure loneliness for a long time in the future?"
"Obviously that is wrong. What we pursue should be for the masses and the ethnic group. We should achieve the sublimation of the entire ethnic group, not the transcendence of individuals."
"This is what the Head of State and the Prime Minister taught me back then. Hela, I hope you
You can understand this too."
Joan, who had always been a talker, rarely spoke so much today. She looked expectantly at the young man in front of her, sincerely hoping that they could become comrades.
"It doesn't have to be mechanical. We can use alchemical human bodies to make it..."
Zhanxing was actually somewhat convinced, but as a witch, she despised weak machines, so she still tried a little bit. However, she couldn't continue talking.
She is a smart person and has realized the problem.
She has always looked at the problem from the perspective of a witch, but the Patriarch in front of her is not a witch yet, she is still a weak mortal.
"Because machinery is cheap and easy to popularize, anyone can learn it as long as they are willing to learn it. Magic, like the path to the spiritual body, is exclusive to a few lucky people."
Joan still patiently answered the young man's doubts.
"Okay, Director Qiong, I'm willing to try this task."
Zhan Xing sighed and accepted his fate.
In response, Qiong finally smiled.
She knew that she would soon have a new comrade.
Holy Hammer, may we use mechanical power to create eternal glory for mankind.
