Chapter 273 Lifespan Conjecture
That day, Bai Tian was thinking about how to rebuild the Yin-Yang Gate.
Su Ling suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted, "It's daytime, look quickly."
During the day, looking in the direction she pointed, I saw a group of people on Daishan Mountain in the distance. Needless to say, someone else had died, and Jinhong was ferrying souls.
But what was different from before was that this time I actually saw a soul floating towards this side during the day.
It's an old lady.
During the day, Su Ling and I floated over and observed the old woman's soul. It was very strange, floating in the same manner as Bai Suo's soul before, but it was thinner than Bai Suo's soul.
The old woman's soul slowly floated to the center of Xiaowang Lake, and then slowly sank down into the Xiaowang Lake!
Bai Tian and Su Ling were both stunned. It was the first time they saw a soul sinking into the water...
"Broadday, daytime, look, there are many people's souls floating over there." Su Ling pointed to the distance again.
Human souls floated over from all directions, all heading for the small Forgotten Lake in the underworld.
The magical thing is that these flying souls are very slow, but they all slowly sink into the Little Forgetful Lake.
When I jumped in during the day, I discovered that the souls didn’t just sink, but dissolved into the little Lake of Forgetfulness in the underworld!
What's going on here?
After Su Ling and I created humans in the underworld, did we completely change the structure of the underworld?
In the past, souls would disintegrate immediately after entering the underworld. Now, after entering the underworld, souls will actually fly in all directions into the Little Forgetful Lake and dissolve. How weird!
Bai Tian suddenly thought of something and flew towards the Great Forgetful Lake with Su Ling.
As soon as we crossed the mountain, we saw from afar the souls of many animals floating towards the Great Lake of Oblivion. Just like the Small Lake of Oblivion, all those souls had dissolved into the Great Lake of Oblivion.
"It's so magical. The souls on the Small Forgetful Lake are all human souls, while the souls on the Big Forgetful Lake are mostly animals. But there is clearly a river connecting the two lakes." Su Ling exclaimed.
Gazing at the Great Forgetful Lake during the day, he felt a pang of fear in his heart: Could it be that he and Su Ling had completely opened up the Yin and Yang realms, and the Yin and Yang cycle was completely formed?
No, reincarnation should not be fully formed yet, it should only be half formed, realizing the transition from yang to yin.
From Yin to Yang, it should be reincarnation, but it is obviously impossible at present!
Bai Tian swallowed his throat and whispered excitedly, "Su Ling, we have done something big. We are constructing the cycle of yin and yang!"
Su Ling was stunned. "Is this what you were talking about before, reincarnation? When a person dies, their soul enters the underworld, and then through some means, it is sent back to the world of the living?"
"Yes, but it hasn't taken shape yet..." Bai Tian said as a light bulb went off in his head. "Su Ling, I suspect this has something to do with the lifespan of human cultivation!"
Su Ling was confused: "What do you mean?"
Bai Tian suppressed his pounding heart and said, "My speculation is that only when the cycle of yin and yang is complete can humans achieve an extremely long life through cultivation. Because cultivation itself is to transcend the cycle of yin and yang, this may be one of the laws of heaven and earth!"
"Furthermore, after the cycle of Yin and Yang, the populations of the two worlds will likely be fixed. Cultivation is about transcending the laws, and the laws may grant longevity... That should be correct, it's this law, right!"
The more Bai Tian talked, the more excited he became. "Su Ling, I know what's missing from my third level of Hao. No wonder I haven't been able to break through. My third level should be able to break through only after the Yin-Yang cycle is complete!"
Snapped!
Suddenly, a sharp thunder roared from the sky, and Bai Tian smiled. He was increasingly aware of his place in this world...
The souls in the Big and Small Lakes of Oblivion floated for about three days before gradually becoming scarce. However, every day, many souls continued to float in from all directions and dissolve into the Big and Small Lakes of Oblivion.
About ten days later, I finally saw a lot of jellyfish swimming in the Big and Small Wang Lakes during the day!
Strictly speaking, they are actually some transparent energy balls that look like jellyfish and meat balls, a bit like those that were eaten by Su Ling a long time ago.
Especially in the Great Forgetful Lake, these energy balls appeared one after another.
Before, Bai Tian had always thought that these energy clusters were single-celled organisms that would gradually evolve into animals and humans. But now, Bai Tian knew that these energy clusters would not take tens of thousands of years to evolve into humans or animals, because he could not wait that long.
However, I still want to try to open the Yin-Yang Gate during the day, although it might be a little early...
So, during the day, they started digging the mountain in the underworld.
The mountain where the Yin-Yang Gate was located before was different in the world of the living and the world of the dead. The mountain in the underworld was intact, while the mountain in the world of the living had collapsed.
What I thought about during the day was to dig the mountain in the underworld into the shape of the world of the living, and then build the Yin-Yang Gate.
He also had a plan. If the Yin-Yang Gate in the underworld failed to be built, he would also build an identical Yin-Yang Gate in the world of the living. In this way, the two worlds of Yin and Yang would echo each other, and it would very likely succeed.
However, he could only enter the underworld during the day when his soul was in an out-of-body state, and in that soul state, his strength was very weak, so digging the mountain was a huge project for him.
Fortunately, Su Ling also actively helped. The two of them kept digging mountains in the underworld and were very busy.
As time went by, Bai Tian discovered a not-so-good phenomenon: Bai Feng would not grow up!
It has been more than half a year, and Bai Feng is still sleeping all the time. Moreover, he still looks like a bird, without gaining any weight.
Su Ling was very worried about this. So one day, Su Ling secretly fed Bai Fengdu blood, hoping that Bai Fengdu would grow some weight. However, Bai Fengdu fell into a deep sleep and never woke up.
During this period, Jin Hong often came to Bai Tian because Jin Hong encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation and wanted to get some guidance from Bai Tian.
Bai Tian did his best to teach Jin Hong, and even asked him to comprehend "Hao". However, Jin Hong was obviously unable to comprehend "Hao", and only gained some inspiration from Su Ling's skills...
Two more years passed like this.
One night, Bai Tian was busy with Su Ling in the underworld.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of fighting outside. Because I couldn't use my spiritual sense in the underworld during the day, I could only hear the sounds.
Bai Tian and Su Ling came out of the house in the underworld. In the darkness, they saw two hazy shadows fighting in the distant sky. One of them seemed to be a big white dragon.
"It feels like, Qinglong?" Su Ling was very uncertain.
I also felt like it was a blue dragon during the day, but how did it get here?
Without giving it much thought, Bai Tian returned to his original state and released his spiritual sense to investigate.
It really was a Azure Dragon, battling a large white dragon. Although the Azure Dragon was stronger, it was a bit smaller than the large white dragon, and the large white dragon's scales seemed tougher and more durable.
Soon, during the day, we discovered two more people in the distance. One was Jin Hong, and the other was Xuan Nu, and they also started fighting...
