The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 361

Chapter 90: Reincarnation of Heavenly Beings
Heavenly beings have five weaknesses: filthy clothes, haggard head, sweaty armpits and pus, body odor and filth, and disgust.

Of these five declines, the first four are the inducements, which are the symptoms of the temptation and depravity of the four evil gods.

Clothes stained with blood will be hard to remove.

The head is withered and the brain is weak, and wisdom does not arise.

Sores appear on the armpits, and the pus is like sweat.

The body is sinking in desire - the sea is smelly and filthy like rot.

The fifth one is the final one, who is a fallen deity whose self is distorted and his temperament becomes evil. He regards other deities, including close relatives, as enemies.

These five declines are accomplished. From then on, gods and humans fell and evil spirits were born.

For the Celestial Clan, the five declines of Celestial Beings are a more terrifying ending than real death.

No normal heavenly person is willing to suffer the five debilitating effects of heavenly beings, unless he is already despairing, sinking in despair, but cannot wish to die.

What kind of heavenly beings are prone to fall into the five degenerations of heavenly beings?
There are also five categories.

Those who are deaf and blind cannot see light or hear music, and are prone to fall;
Those with withered and decayed appearance are ugly in body and have a low heart. They are jealous of beauty and are prone to fall into decline;
Those who are physically weak and timid will be weak and courageous, narrow-minded and poisonous, and will easily fall;
Those who love things and love money are greedy, arrogant and extravagant, possess excessive amounts of money, and are prone to fall;
Those who see many illusions are addicted to false appearances, paranoid and blinded, and are prone to fall.

Duke Shen Yang's whole body was almost turned into a high paraplegic after being ablated by the two dogs with spiritual energy. He was easily able to fall into the fifth category.

If he is left alone, sooner or later this guy will fall into the five degenerations of heaven and human beings and transform into the minions of evil spirits.

The best way to deal with it now is to kill him directly, which can be regarded as a kind of kindness to Shen Yanggong himself.

If he could find the soul stone and him, death would be a slightly longer dream for Duke Shen Yang.

As long as there is a soul stone, even if Shen Yanggong dies, his soul will enter the soul stone and live temporarily.

When there is a suitable opportunity, you can find a pregnant woman and let her wear this soul stone during pregnancy. Then the soul in the soul stone can slowly integrate into the fetus in the pregnant woman's belly, so that she can be reincarnated.

Of course, the fetus after birth will not have the memory of the previous life, but if the fetus is mentally strong enough as an adult, he or she can slowly retrieve the memories of the previous life with the help of the previous soul stone, which only takes more than ten years. Time is enough to grow into a seasoned deva.

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least hundreds or even thousands of years for a young celestial being to grow to this level naturally.

This soul reincarnation technology was invented during the heyday of the Celestial Beings, and quickly spread among the Celestial Beings - who at that time called themselves Edari, meaning children of the stars.

Countless Edari chose to die directly after aging, their souls entered the soul stone, and then the suitable person was chosen from the descendants to be reborn with diamonds.

At the end of the period before the great catastrophe was caused by the Edari tribe, almost the vast majority of individuals in the entire Edari tribe were reincarnated from the ancestors of the Edari.

The abilities of these reincarnated Eldari matured almost in the blink of an eye, making the entire Eldari empire unprecedentedly powerful. During this period, they defeated all their old enemies, including the terrifying C'tan (a star-based planet). (a high-level existence of food), and the older generation of star sea overlords, a unique race called mechanical zombies.

However, the popularity of reincarnation technology soon led to extremely fatal consequences.

Although the reincarnated Edari greatly shortened the growth time of newborns, due to the influence of the memories in those soul stones, it was difficult for them to break through the shackles formed by the knowledge of their previous lives. In other words, their The upper limit has been set.

Only those newly born souls grow more slowly, but their soul essence is stable and active, with an extremely high upper limit, and the future is full of infinite possibilities.

Since most of the newborns in Eldar are occupied by reincarnated souls, fresh souls born in Eldar are extremely scarce.

This has led to the fact that although the Eldari clan has a population of tens of billions, there are very few real geniuses in its tribe. Even if there are a few normally born Eldari geniuses, their competition in their childhood is very difficult. Zhongye is far inferior to those old yins.

The most terrible thing is that due to the extremely long lifespan of Edari individuals, their sensitivity to any social issues that affect them is relatively delayed.

Just like the social problems caused by reincarnation technology, if it were placed on humans with short lifespans, they might become prominent in one or two hundred years, and then self-correcting social unrest would break out.

Having said that, I have to mention something.

Many people regard the cycle of chaos in human society as a mistake, and see turmoil as a ferocious beast. In fact, this need not be the case.

Most of the time, turmoil is just a manifestation of self-correction in the development process of human social civilization, and it is also an indispensable part.

Because it is impossible for anything to develop without errors, from the microscopic biological genetic structure, to the macroscopic social relations, and even the grand structure of the universe.

Even some human-induced social unrest can actually be regarded as a kind of passive correction in the long run, although this kind of correction is basically malicious.

After all, flies don't bite seamless eggs. Being able to be led to problems by others means that there is indeed a problem in oneself. Being found out by others early can be regarded as a kind of short-term pain like removing the focus in advance. If you wait until the long-term illness becomes serious, the problem will disappear. Big.

A typical representative is a certain steel bear in Ergou's previous life.

Because of their long lifespans, Edari are not very sensitive to internal problems. It often takes thousands or even tens of thousands of years for them to truly feel the pain until the disease reaches their bone marrow.

Coincidentally, the reincarnated soul also has another shortcoming.

Their spirits are very unstable, their emotions are changeable and extreme, and they always do some heinous acts for the sake of some sensory enjoyment, especially those individuals who have been reincarnated many times, and their behavior has a lower limit. Even compared to the evil spirits, they are not willing to give in too much.

It can be said that it was the excessive popularity of this reincarnation technology that led to the catastrophe of the Eldar civilization.

Since the fall of the Edari hegemony, most of the tribe fled to remote places in the universe, and a very small number of them allied with humans to become the new Celestial Clan. Soul reincarnation among the Celestial Clan has become a method that will never be used unless necessary. means of guarantee.

There are only two situations where a heavenly being would use this method.

One is that the Tianren clan encounters a genocide-type crisis and needs to explode their troops to fight. At this time, the full version of the reincarnation technology will be activated.

The other type is the peerless devas who have made great achievements and outstanding talents. They are indispensable pillars and precious treasures for the deity clan. Such devas are eligible to enjoy the benefits of reincarnation.

Moreover, even if such heavenly beings complete reincarnation, the step of absorbing the memories of past lives from the soul stones has been cancelled.

However, the Tianren clan did not leave this technology idle in normal times.

Another application of reincarnation technology is widely used among devas on the advice of human wise men.

Although the lifespan of celestial beings is very long, their population has never been able to increase due to the difficulty of reproducing their offspring. So human wise men came up with an idea for the heavenly beings. Since the number is increasing slowly, they should extend the time dimension so that each heavenly being can have a longer lifespan.

In this way, even if it is difficult for heavenly beings to breed, as long as the accumulation time is long enough, the population of heavenly beings can still increase.

The orthodox Edari generally only have a lifespan of more than a thousand years, but after the heavenly beings have gone through a series of self-transformations, their average lifespan has basically increased to ten thousand years.

The Celestial Clan can increase the upper limit of life span tenfold, and its biggest reliance is the soul reincarnation technology.

When each heavenly being's body function begins to decline, he will choose a unique way of survival in which the soul and body are temporarily separated.

Its body will be put into a stasis force field similar to time stagnation, and its soul consciousness will be injected into some kind of alien beast containing the gene fragment of the heavenly being, and then released as the incarnation of the heavenly being. Enter life in the human world.

Every once in a while, whether the alien beast is killed by humans or the alien beast deliberately commits suicide, their souls will return to their old bodies to be nurtured for a period of time before continuing with the next incarnation.

Most of the strange beasts killed by the Demon Suppressor, including the San De Donkey next to Er Gou and Shen Yang Gong in Shen Yang Cave, were almost in this situation.

For heavenly beings, being killed by the incarnation of a strange beast is basically the same as being killed by someone else when playing a game.

Some heavenly beings are forced to "play games". The killing of the game character (incarnation) is not only not a grudge, but a relief for them. They are grateful but it is too late.

Of course, there are some celestial beings who enjoy "role playing". Killing their incarnations would hinder their enjoyment of the fun. Killing such celestial beings' incarnations would really be regarded as enmity.

However, there is also a loophole in the taboo on reincarnation of gods, which is not a loophole, or should be said to be an unspoken rule.

If a celestial being breeds enough offspring individuals in its lifetime, then at the end of its original life, they can specifically give birth to a hybrid offspring of celestial beings and humans, and then reincarnate themselves there.

Notice! The mother of this hybrid offspring must be human.

Although Shen Yanggong himself is a member of the Shenhou clan, he does not enjoy the benefits and privileges of soul reincarnation of special talents of the Celestial Family.

For him, having more descendants is undoubtedly the best way to continue his life.

This is also the reason why Shen Yanggong went crazy and robbed human women in the Meiling area.

Some people may ask, isn’t there reproductive isolation between humans and heavenly beings?

This is indeed the case.

However, when humans and celestial beings formed an alliance tens of thousands of years ago, the first generation of celestial beings specifically sought out sages among humans to genetically compile and modify some of the celestial beings so that they could combine with humans to produce offspring.

Those demigod offspring born from the legendary union of humans and gods are essentially a mixture of heaven and humans.

This is true for the Seven Fairies, Erlang Zhenjun, etc.

Erlang Zhenjun's nephew Chenxiang has a quarter of the blood of heaven and humans.

During the most intimate period between humans and heavenly beings, the union of humans and heavenly beings was completely a fashion, and was pursued by almost all humans, until some troubles occurred later.

A hybrid of heaven and man was seduced by the evil demon and became the evil god's chosen one, causing great harm to the human race. His name is Xingtian.

However, many big shots suspect that Xingtian's fall is actually a conspiracy of the human race.

After all, although Xingtian seems to have almost subverted the nature of human beings, humans have gained more by defeating Xingtian Divine Chosen.

For example, they cut off part of the evil god's power and integrated it into the fundamental laws of mankind. From then on, courage became the most precious extra talent that humans were born with.

After Xingtian, many other mixed-race gods and humans also experienced corruption. The one with the greatest impact was Chi You, another evil god chosen by the gods.

There is no need to say much about the legend of Chi You.

Although these corrupted evil gods were eventually defeated, they also caused heavy losses to the evil gods.

But since then, the union of humans and gods has gradually become a more cautious behavior, and even became a human taboo for a certain period of time.

Be cautious or taboo.

But no matter what, with the spread and spread from generation to generation, the blood genes of heaven and humans have become part of human genetic genes. Although its proportion is very small, there are still times when it is dominant.

Some people even suspect that some heroes in human history who were different from ordinary people in terms of martial arts may have a dominant gene segment from the Celestial Clan in their bodies.

As for humans with dominant celestial genes like this, if they combine with celestial beings, they have a high chance of giving birth to healthy offspring, and the offspring are likely to be demigod templates similar to Yang Jian or Agarwood.

However, most of the famous human individuals with dominant celestial genes in history are basically men, and there are relatively few famous female individuals, or even none.

Of course, it is definitely not true. After all, from a probability perspective, the proportion of men and women appearing in corresponding individuals in human groups should be about the same.

It's just that for some reasons, these situations have been deliberately hidden by humans.

What?

Why hide it, you ask?

Wake up, the celestial beings are troubled by the number of offspring. If there were such women who could combine with celestial beings and give birth to offspring, what would you do if you were a celestial being?
Don't talk about freedom.

If such a woman is obtained by heaven and man, becoming a reproductive machine for both heaven and man is definitely the only fate for such a woman.

From this perspective, Duke Shen Yang’s behavior in Shenyang Cave is undoubtedly extremely bad.
But this guy is also smart. He didn't use his true form, but let his incarnation do it to cover up others' eyes.

In the end, he tried his best to build a plank road and cross Chencang secretly, but he actually found the suitable mother body, which was Zhang Ruchun.

With this trump card in his hand, although Mr. Shen Yang is paraplegic at the moment, he will never fall into depravity, because he still has hope of reincarnation in his heart.

Therefore, Sande Donkey's worries are not necessary unless something fatal happens to Zhang Ruchun.
