There is a saying: Friends are meant to be betrayed, and oaths are meant to be broken. From a certain perspective, the birth of an oath represents a kind of weakness.
Countless people have studied what is the most binding oath in the world. The first thing people think of is the three major oaths, True Name, Law, and Styx.
There is no need to explain too much about the real name. People say that if a man changes his name, he will not change his surname. What the real name refers to is actually the person's reputation. If the reputation is bad, the advantages will always outweigh the disadvantages. After all, if you go out to hang out, you will always have to pay it back.
The River Styx, many people don’t know what it is. Why is this dark, wine-colored, foul-smelling, frothy river, and even if you don’t become an idiot, you will forget all your memories in a day after taking a sip of the water, it is so big.
With its binding power, even the gods dare not break the oath made by it?
It is said that the Oath of Styx is a tradition that can be traced back to the existence before the emergence of mortal things. No one knows which god proposed it, which god made it come true, and how Styx implemented it.
of.
Luo Ling's understanding of the River Styx is also quite limited. He only knows that it did not exist during chaos. It began to form after the birth of the main material world. With the improvement of the plane system, it changed from a trickle to a rushing river. And when it interacted with
Only when the main trunks of the Styx are connected can it truly be called the 'River of Styx', and it has unrivaled majestic power. Before that, it seemed more appropriate to call it the 'Stream of Styx'.
Luo Ling understood Styx as an element and a symbol that constitutes the plane. If the earth is Yin, a sediment of turbidity, River Styx is the sediment of Yin, the sediment within the sediment. It is
The ultimate embodiment of the plane's self-circulating 'death', it is Meng Po Tang, which is the final place where all living things die completely. It is the most powerful executor of the concept of 'dust returns to dust, soil returns to soil'. Naihe Bridge
It may not be possible, but entering the River Styx can make a person alive without even the remains of his soul.
Luo Ling suspected that when there were no gods in this world, the River Styx was the only way to restore and dissolve the soul.
The Oath of the Styx appeared before there were any mortal things, which means that it was not created by mortal things, and it does not exist for mortal things. Indeed, the condition for the Oath of the Styx is to be a god with Godhead 1. It means,
It must be a god worthy of the name, either a primitive god like Luo Ling, or a god of faith who can establish the Kingdom of God.
Of the three major oaths, the Styx Oath is the heaviest. Until now, no god has been heard of breaking it without punishment. However, the one with real practical significance is not the Styx Oath, but the Law Oath.
The power of the Styx Oath lies in its representativeness. It was created by the Supreme among Gods, represents the power of this Supreme, and represents a rule that the entire crystal wall system must abide by. Theoretically, it can be surpassed
Yes, when you reach the height of the maker, when you can break away from the crystal wall system at will, that is to say, when you change from a chess piece to an existence separated from the chessboard, what do the rules of running on the chessboard matter?
The law and oath are different. What is the law? It is not the law of the operation of this plane, nor the basic law that constitutes this plane, or even the law that constitutes this crystal wall system, but the 'Tao'. God can give up everything, but
He cannot abandon his way or betray his way, otherwise he will deny himself. Even if he is the god above gods and the ruler of the crystal wall system, when he denies himself and cannot even implement the 'way', then he will surely
Fall.
Since the law is so powerful, why is it not the most important law?
Because "Tao" is born from the heart, and the heart refers to thoughts. Thoughts are the most miraculous product, the miracle among miracles. They are the only existences that are born in the crystal wall system, but may transcend the crystal wall system. Without thoughts,
So what if I have the power to pierce the crystal wall system with one finger? It makes no sense at all.
Thoughts are so wonderful that their changes can sometimes break any bonds. For example, this 'Tao' can actually be changed, just like those who have successfully deceived themselves and inherited the serious evil in the world.
A person who has gained the power of the Holy Light. I am not guilty, I am not wrong, I am righteous... He kills people, but he is upright and compassionate, and he uses the excuse of saving the world to wash away original sin and escape from the sea of suffering. Such people do exist, especially
Take those religious fanatics as examples.
Of course, the purer and deeper the Tao is, the harder it is to break one's word, but after all, it is changeable, especially before becoming a god, the possibility of change is great. Perhaps a fierce event stimulates,
It can completely change a person's view of things, and the Tao will also be changed accordingly.
In this way, the most powerful oath is to make the three major oaths together.
First of all, use your true name and swear an oath on your own credibility. Once you violate it, lose trust, lose help, lose integrity, and become a coward, a despicable and self-conscious person will never achieve anything.
Secondly, the law is to swear an oath by the 'Tao'. Once violated, the Tao will lose its self. Even if it can continue to live, or even become stronger, it will gradually lose its self and become a living person or a puppet.
Finally, Styx, this is a 'future oath'. Although it cannot take effect at the moment, it can be tied to the real name and the law, and it will also be stated when taking the oath. Once qualified, the oath will take effect immediately. Just like a person who is determined to join the Shaolin Temple, he
I swore an oath to the Shaolin Temple when I was still standing on the gate wall. If I couldn't do it, the Shaolin Temple would kick me out of the temple and hire me or not. The highest person in charge of the Shaolin Temple is the abbot. He is like making an oath on the Styx.
God of the system, this person entered Shaolin and did not abide by his oath. For the sake of Shaolin's reputation, please get out.
In fact, the binding force of the oath is nothing more than two things, external force and true heart. The oath of the true name is the most characteristic of a mixture of external force and true heart. The external force is reflected in breaking one's trust and being despised by others, and the internal force is reflected in one's own self-esteem,
If you can truly deceive yourself and others, this internal restraint will be nothing. If you can be self-reliant, it will be nonsense if there are no external forces, and the oath will lose its effectiveness. Like the god of deceit, lies, deception, and untrustworthiness are his priestly duties. I
Just deceived and lost credibility. What's going on?
The law is the one that best reflects your true heart. When you make this oath, the saddest thing is your heart. This is like xx is your favorite and most cherished person. For him (her), you can kill people, set fire, and become enemies of the world.
In the end, one day you sold him (her), and if you cannot untie this knot, you will be a useless person.
The River Styx is the most embodying external force. I don’t know how it exists or how it is executed. Anyway, it just works. If you disobey it, you will suffer. It’s like there is a sniper 1 kilometer away, always aiming at you. You know you
If you say no, you will definitely die. That's it.
After all, it returns to the starting point. From a certain perspective, the birth of the oath represents a kind of weakness. It is a binding force. Since it is force, there is the possibility of breaking it. Why do those who are at the top of power
For example, can a cruel king in ancient times run rampant? What kind of oath laws are valid for him? No, if he has a clear conscience, if he is really powerful, there will be no laws to punish him, and any oath can be invalidated at any time.
Luo Ling is powerful, but not so powerful that he is not controlled by any external force and is not bound by his own heart. Some oaths, like the one he made to Xi Lang, are to make the other party believe in his sincerity, and the binding force is more focused on his true heart.
Some oaths, like the one made to Singani, were made to ensure the transaction under the premise that the two parties were not sure of their integrity, and the binding force focused on external forces.
The Oath of Styx is the future tense, and the Oath of Law is not only the 'Tao', but also represents the law and power governed by this 'Tao'. If Luo Ling violates it and confronts Xingani, Xingani can break Luo Ling through the oath.
Ling's method even shattered Luo Ling's unique soul power. This is definitely a situation that Xingani is happy to see. She not only has the opportunity to obtain Luo Ling's unique power, but also gets a powerful divine servant, even if
It was Luo Ling back then, and simply erasing it was still a waste of money.
What's very funny is that in Xinkundulun District, people actually have to swear.
"Take it!" The guard handed a beautifully made copper plate to Luo Ling somewhat roughly. "Swear according to the words on it, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter the fortress."
Luo Ling glanced at the copper plate, and the content of the inscription on it was already clear. The key point of this oath lies in the last sentence: If I violate the oath, the great god of strength Lint will be able to punish my soul in any way.
There is no doubt that this is a complete betrayal for ordinary people. Of course, from Luo Ling's perspective, he can also see the weak side of this god of power called Linte. Before he became a true god,
Gods Gods can be said to be slaves of faith, not masters. In order to have a good operating system, he must process every power of faith as quickly and effectively as possible and feed back divine power or information in a timely manner. In this case, he does
Some people are short of resources, so with this sinister oath, it is equivalent to leaving a small tail, which is convenient for Lint to do some tricks at any time. Because the various clauses before the oath binding method, such as not violating the base's temporary citizen code, do not
Disrupting the order of the base and so on, it doesn't sound very severe, but in fact the concept is vague. It is exactly what I said, and the crime is getting worse, so why bother?
Of course, this kind of oath has no effect on Luo Ling. Even if Lin Te fights Luo Ling with all his strength, he may not be sure of victory. Trying to manipulate Luo Ling's soul with this thing is tantamount to idiotic talk.
Ordinary passengers do not realize the power of this oath. Most of them just treat it as if they had sworn an oath to the party flag in the past. They just go through the motions, recite according to the script, leave their bloody fingerprints, and file into the isolation channel.
New Kundulun is a typical religious base. From the defense forces to the patrolmen who maintain law and order, they all wear blouses with the 'Golden Fist' logo on the chest. Luo Ling noticed that most people here have the church logo on their left chest.
Represents the identity of its parishioners.
In order to enhance its autonomy, the Linte religious base circulates its own currency. Palladium can be exchanged, but there is a limit on the amount. But Luo Ling currently only has dozens of palladium from the frozen poor man, which is already hers.
With all his wealth, he was obviously unable to do anything with this little money. Fortunately, when Luo Ling was on the wandering bus, he contacted Mingyue and Bao Si through the crystal and the Dark Heaven as a transit, and asked them to help find a 'master' to re-establish it.
A specious file. In this file, not only the character's occupation, origin, past, etc. have been adjusted and changed a lot, but even the appearance has become closer to Veronica.
"Simple, you have to go this way to Area C." The person who reminded Luo Ling was a woman who was sitting next to Luo Ling when she came.
Luo Ling smiled slightly, "The situation I encountered on the road made me change my mind. I'm going to buy some things first. I'll see you when the bus leaves."
Without saying anything more, Luo Ling turned onto the road leading to Area A under the slightly surprised look in the woman's eyes.
Kundulun District looks like a constant flow of people coming and going, but in fact there are not many outsiders, especially people like Luo Ling who come by local bus, which only goes once every ten days and a half. Large-scale surveillance at the base
In the room, someone was already tracking Luo Ling as usual. One of the inspectors leaned on his chair and turned to his colleagues: "Help me check the pan-citizen with ID 3844ea35d. She has the spending power to enter Zone A."
Really? This robe doesn’t look like it.”
"id3844ea35d, concise, from Linhe District, Bayannur, occupation: Freelance Demon Hunter, has conducted four courses of basic training, three magic enhancements, one advanced strength enhancement, the information is a bit old, the last demon hunter transaction
The record is from more than 100 days ago, and it is not very active. The record level is 2, but it should actually be over 3. The combat occupation is probably the Demon Blade."
"Hey! She is still a spoiled and fierce girl, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. Look at this robe, I don't know where I found it, it can be used as a sack." Level 3, maybe 2 years ago, was just a person, but now
Well, level 4 is everywhere, clones, biochemicals are going their way, and strong people have been seen a lot, so level 3 really doesn’t take it seriously, even if he himself is not even level 1. It’s like
In the past, bank clerks used to make a lot of money every day. Over time, they would ignore business of less than 10,000 yuan. In fact, in terms of salary, they may not have much money in a month.
"Boss, exchange materials." Luo Ling entered a private exchange house, and with a bang, he dropped the corpses of 5 monsters in one go. He had hunted them all before taking the lang bus, and he didn't even have time to collect the materials, as if
The wrist wheel was retracted into space like a pig.
The clerk who had looked down upon Luo Ling before he walked in immediately narrowed his eyes and put a smile on his face. If nothing else, the volume of the five monsters of light cannot be contained less than 15 cubic meters. Looking at the goods again, there is nothing.
A low-level creature is almost always a monster that has material value all over its body, and what’s rare is that it’s quite skillful to kill, either by wiping the throat or not even causing any external injuries. You can peel off the skin however you want.
Skinning fully demonstrates the powerful strength of the hunter.
After coming out of the exchange office, Luo Ling already had more than 30,000 crystal coins in his hand. This is the highest denomination currency used in the Lint religious area. Its purchasing power is not bad. Like a seasoned demon hunter, Luo Ling used acquisition + homemade
Method, I prepared myself a set of equipment, bought some clothes, then booked a room at Home Inn, took a short rest, showered and changed clothes, went out for lunch, and then turned into a bar called 'Prairie People'
.
Baotou is an industrial city, and there are not many people in Old Baotou. Qingshan District and Kundulun District are new districts that were established because of the First Machinery Factory, the Second Airport, Baotou Steel and other military and heavy industry state-owned enterprises. They have not been together for many years, and are full of
The northeastern accent on the street is the same today. The most people in Kundulun District speak Northeastern accent Mandarin, and most of them are Han Chinese. There are not many Mongolians. The so-called prairie people are just a gimmick. They don’t talk about kumiss, fried rice, and milk tea.
No, even if I have it, I can’t get used to it. Instead, high-grain wines such as Erguotou, Fengjiu, and Zhuanlongye are more suitable for the taste. There are a dazzling array of them on the bar. They were ordinary before the end of the world, but now they can be regarded as the black and red brands of the past.
, selling foreign liquors such as whiskey.
"Let's have a bottle of Wuhai Tequila." Luo Ling said a little carelessly. Wuhai Tequila is a joking name, but it is actually Wuhai Erguotou, but it is waist wine, 68°. Drinking it is like swallowing fire, full of energy.
The bartender is a woman, in her 30s, a little too mature. The dark circles and bags under her eyes that cannot be covered by eyeshadow show that she not only stayed up late, but also has an average body. However, she looks quite festive, and her eyes are not too sophisticated and cunning.
It's not annoying to me, but with Luo Ling's picky eyes, this kind of evaluation is what most people would rely on.
"Sister, why are you here drinking alone just in the afternoon?" The bartender pushed a small stack of dried fruits in front of Luo Ling and spoke very straightforwardly.
"It takes a long time to ride in the car, just join in the fun, and at the same time, it's stress-free." Luo Ling took a sip of wine from a five-yen small cup, then pinched a piece of dried fruit and put it in his mouth. The dried blue ground fruit should be brewed by himself.
, the taste is good. Although I ate Veronica, the taste is very spicy and can be shared.
"Oh? I know Yu Bo's car will arrive today. Why, did something happen on the road?"
"Yeah, there are three heads of the Slaughter Beast..." Luo Ling sat in front of the bar and started chatting with the bartender.
In the afternoon, there were more and more people in the bar. At this time, Luo Ling talked less and mainly listened. Most of the people who came here to drink were people with a small amount of money, and some of them had just come off their jobs.
Most of them are professionals or witchers who don’t hunt. How do those witchers hunt?
