Chapter 609: No Life and No Death
"Are we all residual souls?"

Hearing the true form of Wenquxingjun say this, the other Wenquxingjuns couldn't help but laugh.

Without life or death, what are they now? They all know that they are alive and well, living better than anyone else, and they have never been residual souls. Each of them is an independent individual, and each of them is an independent Wenquxingjun.

Even in terms of strength, it is the same, each of them possesses all the power of Wenquxingjun.

Therefore, the original body of Wenquxingjun was naturally killed on the spot.

After getting rid of the crazy Wenquxingjun, the other Wenquxingjuns recommended a new Wenquxingjun to take the position - but this time, this Wenquxingjun was not as easy to talk to as the previous Wenquxingjun. After obtaining the magic soldiers, the new Wenquxingjun immediately started a purge.

Yes, the newly appointed Wenquxingjun was very smart. He knew very well that there must be more Wenquxingjuns eyeing his position and wanting to kill him, so he chose to strike first.

Of course, it takes the right time to strike first, and the newly appointed Wenquxingjun is sharp enough - perhaps other Wenquxingjuns have not discovered this yet, but at the moment when the previous Wenquxingjun was killed, he felt that his own power, his own strength, and even his own luck seemed to have improved a little bit.

Although it was only a small improvement, it was a real improvement that he could clearly perceive.

So from this point of view, the other Wenquxingjun may have discovered this, but there is no doubt that he was the first to take the initiative to raise this point - so, after having common interests, the Wenquxingjuns also had a common enemy.

The common enemy is, of course, other selves. Faced with another self that can replace oneself at any time, everyone's reaction is to kill it as soon as possible.

This is a melee belonging to Wenquxingjun, a melee that belongs only to Wenquxingjun himself.

All the Wenquxingjun have joined the battle, except the new Wenquxingjun, who has stayed away from the dispute because he has to go outside to face other powerful beings.

"In a sense, you're actually right."

Holding the pair of magic weapons in his hands, the new Wenquxingjun sighed to his predecessor who was killed.

“Although they are not residual souls, I can at least turn them into residual souls… Turning them into residual souls is also a good thing, at least they are easier to use than independent individuals.”

Thinking of this, the new God of Literature couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

Although the residual souls are more useful than independent individuals, they are definitely not as powerful as independent individuals - but in the current situation, he does not need any more powerful combat power. Looking at the whole world, even the whole sky, his combat power has reached the true peak. Even if the 3,600 Wenqu Star Lords all become residual souls, he is still the true peak.

It's not that he deliberately wanted to boast about his fighting ability, but few of these so-called powerful people can really fight.

Perhaps they were once heroes, but the days in heaven had long worn away their will, and their so-called mighty power could only be shown to mortals - this could be seen by just looking at the starry sky. If these mighty men really still retained the bloodiness of the past, how could they not kill him to pieces?

"After all, this so-called great power is just another flock of sheep."

Thinking of this, Wenquxingjun sighed.

Wenquxingjun didn't know who designed the plan to let the powerful people ascend to the sky, but this move was undoubtedly the most ingenious. When the powerful people who possessed tyrannical power and even transcended life and death with their own will began to find other powerful people and formed groups, their originally tiger-like and wolf-like temperaments were gradually tamed into the shapes of cattle and sheep.

Just like the so-called Ten Thousand Star Alliance now, when he first proposed to unite these powerful beings to fight against the extraterritorial demons, these powerful beings chose to join without hesitation.

Indeed, joining the Ten Thousand Stars Alliance did give these powerful beings the confidence to fight against the extraterritorial demon, but this did not mean that these powerful beings could really fight against the extraterritorial demon - this behavior was just like cattle and sheep traveling in groups. Although this could indeed scare away tigers and wolves hiding in the dark, it could not change the fact that they were cattle and sheep.

But those so-called powerful people chose to form groups and turned themselves into cattle and sheep.

This made Wenquxingjun, who was also a powerful being, feel ridiculous and pathetic.

The funny thing is that even the heroes of the past have ended up like this. The sad thing is that even the heroes cannot resist their own instincts - even though they have all been pushed by fate to embark on the most difficult but also the most powerful path, now, when they have a choice, they still follow the instinct of human nature, start to gather in groups, and start to keep each other warm.

This is indeed an instinct. After all, that's what mortals do. When facing danger, weak mortals will always choose to form a team to resist the danger outside.

But here lies the problem.

The powerful one is no mortal.

When they reveal their mortal side, they are doomed to die.

"And that extraterritorial demon..."

After thinking of another target who might pose a threat to himself, the new Wenquxingjun shook his head again.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, this extraterritorial demon is a huge threat. After all, this extraterritorial demon is ferocious and powerful, and has even formed a mortal enemy with them - but Wenquxingjun himself knows that this extraterritorial demon is not something that needs to be worried about from beginning to end.

Putting aside other things, the simplest point is, if this alien demon is really powerful enough to ruin his plans, then why doesn't this alien demon just come over and kill him?
If it is to be done, the demon from outside the domain should have done it long ago. Since he didn't do it, it means that he can't do it.

Since it can't be done, it can't be considered a threat to him.

Of course, the demon from outside the territory might be planning something, perhaps some way to increase his strength, or it might be the demon soldiers themselves... But no matter what the demon from outside the territory does, it is harmless to him.

As for his worries about the extraterritorial demons and his actions to wipe out the extraterritorial demons, all of this was done for outsiders to see.

This is another reason why he looks down on those powerful people.

It is obvious that each of the powerful ones has tyrannical strength, and each of them could be called a fierce warrior in the past. But now, after encountering this extraterritorial demon, these so-called powerful ones are actually seeking his protection - what kind of protection can he provide? It's nothing more than a pretense. But this pretense has made those powerful ones feel at ease.

"It seems that we need to readjust our evaluation of these powerful beings."

Thinking of this, the new Wenquxingjun was silent for a moment.

If he still felt that these so-called powerful men could still be used in the past, and perhaps could be used to conquer foreign countries and continue to expand territory, then now, in the eyes of the current Wenquxingjun, these powerful men can no longer even do this - in the eyes of the current Wenquxingjun, these so-called powerful men can obviously only be a drag, and with their character, they really can't accomplish anything big.

"but……"

Thinking of this, the new Wenqu Star Lord suddenly felt that something was wrong. Yes, it was indeed wrong. After all, even if these powerful people were not very good in character, their strength was not bad. But now, or just now, he actually felt that a bad character meant that they could not do anything... Where did this criterion come from?
"This……"

The new Wenquxingjun tried hard to recall, and he always felt that there was something wrong with this idea.

According to normal judging standards, even if one's character is not good enough, as long as one has enough power, it is still valuable. If one wants to overturn this set of judging standards, there is only one possibility, that is, he subconsciously always feels that the so-called power of these powerful people is false.

How could the power of the mighty be false? If the power of the mighty is false, then what is his might?
"No way, absolutely impossible."

Thinking of this, Wenquxingjun shook his head repeatedly.

"Power cannot be false. How can this thing be false? After all, this kind of thing..."

Thinking of this, Wenquxingjun suddenly got stuck.

Yes, if power is not false, then how can he verify it?
Splitting mountains and cracking rocks? Or moving mountains and seas? It seems that neither of them works. This can only prove that power itself can change the environment. If you really want to prove power itself, you still have to fall into real combat - but there is a problem here. When the powerful people kill each other, it seems that they have never killed each other completely.

The firm will of the mighty ones transcends life and death, so they cannot be killed by ordinary means. This means that no matter how strong the power is, it will actually have no effect on these mighty ones.

If you want to kill a powerful person, the only way is to make him want to die. This is the only way.

Of course, now we may also need to add magic soldiers.

"But apart from the demon soldiers..."

Wenquxingjun was suddenly stunned.

Apart from the demon soldiers, it seems that the powerful have no other way to kill another powerful person.

After all, the powerful ones have transcended life and death, which means that death does not actually exist for them. If death does not exist, then naturally...

"If there is no death... then what about life?"

The current Wenquxingjun suddenly felt something inexplicably jump in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the words left by the previous Wenquxingjun: there is no life, nor death, they are all residual souls, they are all lonely ghosts... At that time, he sneered at such words. After all, he knew very well that he was not a residual soul, he was a complete Wenquxingjun. He was alive and well, not dead, and would live forever.

But looking at it now...

What if, from the very beginning, his, or rather, all of their powerful understandings of life and death were already wrong?

What if from the very beginning, all of their powerful understandings of life and death, and of the entire world, were incorrect?

If their understanding of power was distorted from the very beginning... No, it can even be said that from the very beginning, from the time they first accepted this so-called power, they had already...

"No! Impossible!"

At this moment, the new Wenquxingjun also held his head and squatted down in pain.

He had already realized that this idea, this knowledge, this last words left by the previous Lord Wenquxing, were poisonous in themselves - but even if he wanted to stop thinking about them now, it was too late.

Just like the famous story of "Don't think about the elephant", the more he controls himself from thinking about these things, the more those forbidden thoughts will continue.

"No, it won't be like this..."

The new God of Literature vaguely guessed the answer.

This also reminded him of the death of the previous Wenquxingjun.

The previous Wenqu Star Lord did not put up any resistance until he was collectively killed by the other Wenqu Star Lords. At that time, he once thought that his predecessor might have known that he was no match for them and gave up resistance, but now it seems...

This is clearly a glimpse of true despair, and he simply stopped resisting.

After all, as his predecessor had said, they had neither life nor death.

As long as you realize this, death has lost its meaning.

In other words, death in their understanding has simply lost its meaning.

"but……"

Thinking of this, the new Wenquxingjun clenched the magic weapon in his hand.

Yes, this is the biggest trouble. What has lost its meaning is only the death in their perception, but what these demon soldiers bring is real death, which is completely different from theirs.

So from this perspective, that extraterritorial demon, that monster that does not belong to this world, that thing that was not even a threat in his eyes, has actually become the biggest threat.

"After all, he can really kill us."

The new God of Literature narrowed his eyes.

"Or, in other words, he can really help us escape from this state of neither life nor death... Absolutely not. This is the only thing that is absolutely not possible!"

Having said this, the new Lord Wenqu flew all the way back to the main hall of the Wanxing Alliance.

At this moment, he is ready to go all out.
