Chapter 913: Infernal Purgatory
It's been a long pull.
This is completely an extreme torture of the will. It can even be said that this is not something that the fourth grade should bear.
The Demon Prince has been trapped in a dream for tens of billions of years. He is constantly waking up and waking up again. In each life, he will have a new identity and new memories.
When you are reincarnated, you are yourself in the first life, but what about the second life?
The third life, the fourth life.
In each life, you will have a new identity and memories, a completely new personality, family, and experiences. Are you willing to let this new identity be swallowed up by the past?
Of course, it is impossible for the personality of one life to resist the main personality of the Demon Prince.
So...just sink in.
Lost in reincarnation.
As long as the memory of reincarnation surpasses the Demon Prince's past memories, his personality will naturally change.
At the same time, his body has been shattered, being torn apart, then recovering at a slow speed like geological movement, and then being torn apart again.
It's like the ancient Pangea supercontinent that is constantly gathering.
Tens of millions of levels are stacked together and squeezed together heavily.
But it's far grander and more spectacular than that.
Both mentally and physically shattered, the demon showed no mercy at all. He...she, it...all planned to kill the demon prince.
Billions of years passed like this.
The Demon Prince's memory is constantly being cleaned and covered, and his body is constantly being broken and reorganized. It can even be said that the elements that can constitute the existence of the 'Demon Prince' are becoming increasingly rare.
You are a male, and if you are reincarnated as a female ten times, can you still firmly consider yourself a man?
Demon Prince, more than ten times.
This is what Buddhism calls...the suffering of reincarnation in the six paths.
Follow the wheel of karma, life after life, and cycle back and forth in the six paths.
Birth, old age, illness, death, separation from love, meeting of resentment and hatred, lack of what you want, and the overflowing of the five aggregates.
From now on, for hundreds of thousands of millions of nayutas, there will be no indescribable kalpas and no liberation.
There are hundreds of thousands of millions of samsaras in the world of asamkhyas that are inconceivable, indescribable, immeasurable, indescribable, and countless, and all are filled with immeasurable bitterness. There are hundreds of times, and there is also immeasurable suffering.
The five aggregates gather together to form a body, burning like fire.
The color aggregate is blazing, the four elements are out of tune, and there is suffering from disease.
The feeling aggregate is blazing, accepting the distinction, and making all the sufferings come to an end.
The aggregate of thoughts is blazing, and thoughts are pursuing each other, but love is separated, resentment and hatred meet, and all kinds of suffering are caused by not being able to seek.
The accumulation of action is blazing, causing various karma, and is the cause of subsequent rewards. Moreover, due to the action, it is constantly changing, causing the suffering of old age.
The accumulation of consciousness is blazing, causing confusion and karma, causing reincarnation and the suffering of life and death.
Misfortune leads to short life, poverty and misery. If you are exposed to adultery, your family members will quarrel. No tongue sores, ugly and crippled.
What you ask for is not what you want, and you suffer from hunger, thirst and sore throat. He was so frightened that he lost his life, and the heaven and earth were plagued by disasters. He is obsessed with death and his parents are vicious.
Flesh and flesh are separated, blindness, deafness and muteness, eternal life in the evil realm, endless reincarnation in hell for hundreds of millions of kalpas.
Every 'dream' requires the Demon Prince to wake up again.
The Demon Prince kept repeating such things until the world collapsed.
However... it's not over.
When this world goes bad, it parasitizes other worlds.
If his world is bad, send it to his heart.
When his heart is bad, he sends messages to each other from time to time.
It is so infinite and comes again. The so-called endless evil force is like this.
From the time when I first entered, to now, hundreds of billions of eons have passed. One day and one night, there have been countless deaths and countless lives. I can’t even take a breath for a moment——
Hence the name ‘Infinite Purgatory’.
The so-called seamlessness means forever and ever, without the pain of breathing.
There is no gap at all, there is no gap.
The Demon Prince needed to stay awake longer and longer.
At first, it only took him a moment to realize that he was in a dream.
But as all this progressed, memories of dreams and drowsiness began to invade his personality. He saw all kinds of demons and demons, and his heart was full of infinite emotions, including sadness, crying, worry, sighs, fear, and fear.
This is everything that has been experienced in the past ten lives, hundreds of lives, and thousands of lives, including parents, siblings, husbands and wives, relatives and close friends, flesh and blood children, all love, all beauty, all memories and experiences. Everything surrounds the devil prince, endless memories. Surrounded by the beauty and torture in it, you can never leave.
The real pain is not infinite torture, but a little bit of beauty, plus the never-ending urging. In this way, the hope rising in the heart is the greatest torture.
How long has it been?
The Demon Prince couldn't remember clearly.
He only vaguely remembered that he seemed to have a certain identity?
His self-awareness has almost faded away, and billions of years are no longer enough to describe it...
In fact, there is no difference at all between billions of years and an instant.
One calamity is one thousand five hundred and ninety-nine thousand and eight thousand years.
The Demon Prince has gone through tens of billions of calamities.
Moreover, because he is very powerful, he woke up very quickly at the beginning and was able to achieve "one day and one night, ten thousand deaths and ten thousand lives".
So, how many times did he live and die?
There are too many to count.
With all the evil things happening, it’s hard to tell all the eons of sand in the Ganges River. I’m afraid I’ll have to use Asamkhyi to count them.
The five turbidities enveloped his mind, making him completely forget who the so-called 'Devil Prince Shang Fan' was.
The so-called five turbidities, also called the five turbidities, are methods that cover up the turbid and impure thinking. The so-called 'desires cloud the mind' and 'all kinds of wrong views', many of which are caused by the five turbidities. They cause the turbidity of sentient beings' views, causing their minds to gradually become Taoist. Decline, dull mind and weak body, more sufferings and less blessings, and all kinds of ignorance caused by countless births and deaths cause troubles, such as greed, anger, ignorance, pride, doubt, etc., caused by confusion caused by being obsessed with worldly things.
With just one glance, the Demon Prince suffered countless lives and deaths.
An asamkhy is the ultimate number, with tens of thousands as billions, trillions as trillions, and one asamkhy as tens of millions, trillions, trillions, trillions.
Although this number is nonsense, this number was invented to describe this kind of thing.
Enjoyment and fruits are endless, suffering is endless, time is endless, life is endless, body and shape are endless, weapons of sin are endless, species are endless, all kinds are endless, endless.
If he continues, he may not be able to defeat Amon, and he will have to use Konard's arrow.
This level of torture was just a look from the demon.
The speed at which the Demon Prince wakes up is getting slower and slower, from being born ten thousand times a day to being born one day a day.
Then, it gradually became a life of ten years and a life of a hundred years.
He gradually began to live an ordinary life, passing through the ordinary days of joy and sorrow, but throughout his life he never discovered that he was actually the 'Devil Prince'.
But...why do you have to worry about being the Demon Prince?
Does it make sense?
The Demon Prince is an identity.
An ordinary mortal named Wang Er also has an identity.
Why do you have to think that you are the Demon Prince? Obviously they are all themselves, just a different experience in life. Why deny one of them and admit the other?
Could it be said that because you deny Wang Er's identity, you are no longer Wang Er?
That's obviously not the case. No matter how much you deny it, Wang Er is a part of your life.
Just like Baili Xi, he is both a prime minister and a slave. It is impossible for him to deny himself as a slave just because he becomes the prime minister.
In that case, it would only cause confusion about his identity, because if there was no slave Baili Xi, there would naturally be no prime minister Baili Xi, right?
Life is a straight line, and every segment on the straight line is a component of the straight line, and no part of it can be denied.
If you insist on believing that you are the Demon Prince, is it just because...the identity of the Demon Prince is more noble?
So, when enough identities come together, who are you?
The personality is confused, the memories are stacked, the five turmoils are confusing, and the demonic thoughts are all around him. The reality of the Demon Prince has been almost destroyed. It is just a look from the demon, which in the eyes of the outside world only lasts less than half a second, but he has experienced enough. A terrible time that breaks the strongest minds.
However, the demon suddenly made a surprised sound.
"Huh?"
She found out.
The Demon Prince has indeed lost his personality.
He couldn't tell who he was, nor did he understand the difference between Wang Er and the Demon Prince. Endless reincarnation destroyed his understanding of himself.
but……
That doesn't matter.
The Demon Prince doesn't care who he is.
It doesn’t matter who ‘I’ am. How could ‘I am who I’ be be able to stop the Demon Prince?
Of course, to say that, in fact, this is not just a simple "I am who I am", but a forced distortion of cognition through a large number of memories and experiences, which is the same operation as brainwashing.
No matter what, the subject of subjective will also needs to be established on ‘I’.
‘I’ must exist.
As long as I think, no matter what I am thinking, "I" is already present. As long as I continue to think, I will inevitably enter the devil's path, because you cannot bypass your perception system to reach foreign objects.
But it is enough for 'I' to exist.
It doesn’t matter whether this ‘I’ is the Demon Prince, Wang Er, or Zhang San.
As long as ‘I’ exists, that’s fine.
Memory, personality, these things don't matter at all. The Demon Prince doesn't care whether his personality is pure or not, nor does he care whether his memory has been tampered with.
None of that mattered, he didn't care at all.
As long as 'I' is still there.
Because, as long as 'I' is there, then 'I' will not be confused.
Li Qi once commented on the Demon Prince like this——
"Obviously there are billions of roads in front of him, but he will always only take the one under his feet. The other so-called 'long roads' and 'shortcuts' are all invisible." (See Chapter 884 for details. )
That's just the way it is.
The Demon Prince's goal has not changed.
Even if he suffered a devastating blow from the demon, he still followed his own path.
As for how other personalities switch, how memories are confused, and the process of alternate sufferings, happiness, and hopes, all are ignored. Those are just processes.
He no longer remembered that he was the Demon Prince, but he had never looked any other way.
He is still walking on the path he originally chose, without any change. No matter how his personality is distorted, his memory is tampered with, and his preferences are modified, he seems to be invisible and walks on that path by himself.
Go on ignoring everything.
Therefore, the demon's eyes moved away.
it's over.
The Demon Prince's shattered body gradually recovered, but his spirit would not recover.
The devil was originally aiming to kill him, so he was not prepared to recover at all.
The Demon Prince looked at the Demon in front of him, but now he no longer knew who he was. A large amount of memories exploded in his thinking organ like a pot of wonton soup, making everything sticky.
"Do you care about Li Qi that much? Can you ignore me?" Tianmo stepped forward, lowered his head and asked.
At this moment, its shape has turned into a completely round ball, as if it were carved from black jade. It is smoother than any mirror. Anyone who looks directly can seem to see their own heart from the surface of the black jade.
"You...are?" The Demon Prince's eyes were a little confused, but he did not lose his language ability, which showed that basic thinking still existed.
Mo Hu immediately rushed in front of the Demon Prince.
The demon tilted his head.
"Well, I originally thought that you weren't very good at it, but now it seems that you can do it."
Then, he said: "Well, let's press back for now. I think that Shang Fan who doesn't know who he is is also very interesting, and maybe he has other potential."
"You, as his magic weapon, should always stay by his side, right? Then, the rest will be left to you. Remember, if his potential is gone, I will make everything happen again and take good care of him. , It’s all up to you,” the demon said.
When talking to Mo Hu at this moment, the demon's tone was cold and indifferent, not at all as terrifying as talking to the demon prince or as charming as talking to Li Qi.
Mo Hu's body trembled, but he didn't speak.
However, at this time, the Demon Prince suddenly spoke.
He looked dazed, but he still said clearly: "Isn't it right... You should have wanted to go back directly just now, but you gave up. The First-Rank War reshaped the universe, and it definitely has no impact on you. Yes, you will show up instead of going back directly, which already shows that you are 'retreating to the next best thing'."
The demon tilted his head: "Oh? Are you awake? No, your personality is still chaotic, oh... interesting, even though your thinking and personality are chaotic, are your judgments still accurate? Is it because you have absorbed the instinct of a real dragon? Come?"
"Well done, I have another reason to keep you now, but... I guessed wrong. Although it does have some influence on me, it doesn't mean that I need to use small tricks on you." The demon laughed happily. , then, with a smile, its body began to wither, collapse, and turn into a puff of ash, disappearing without a trace.
Mo Hu breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the demon has no way of figuring out its intentions. It has always thought of one place. At least now it seems... the master seems to have the value of continuing to survive.
It’s just... is the current owner really the same as before?
Mo Hu looked at the Demon Prince.
He was confused, his personality was broken, and his memory was almost impossible to survive. It took a time that could only be described by Gounard's arrow to completely destroy his thinking.
What to do about this? Memories from countless lifetimes have been stacked together, and the identity of the Demon Prince may only be regarded as dust among them.
