Chapter 598 Test: Desire to Devour

Liu Ping opened his eyes.

Everything around has disappeared.

He found himself standing in the dark universe, looking down at a blue planet.

A very strange feeling rippling in his heart.

——Everything on that planet can be decided by oneself.

Not only that.

He looked up into the dark depths of the universe.

There are many worlds hidden in planets and voids, and more gorgeous galaxies are extremely powerful world-like life forms.

I am insignificant in front of them.

There are even some powerful world-like life forms that are devouring everything of the same kind.

The law of the jungle is nothing but the most basic rule.

As soon as his thoughts moved, lines of burning small characters suddenly appeared in the void:

"The first level, the desire to devour."

"When the world-like life form is born, it has a strong desire to devour. If you can't overcome it, your world will be completely swallowed by you, and you will directly enter the state of death."

Liu Ping's gaze swept across the countless barren planets in the universe——

These are worlds that died at birth.

They didn't even make it through the first hurdle.

——In the range that can be detected by the mind, tens of millions of planets are all dead.

Only the planet in front of me belongs to me——

Or the world.

It was just born!
It will bring Liuping the desire to devour!
Liu Ping looked towards his own world through the long void, and immediately saw everything that happened on the earth.

Countless beings are cultivating, gathering, and hunting.

They thrive on the ground.

Liu Ping watched this scene silently, and a thought suddenly appeared in his heart:
"The souls of all living beings are beneficial. Eating their souls can make you stronger quickly."

He fell down and stood at the funeral of a primitive tribe.

Layers of dry firewood have been ignited.

The dead man was burned with fire, and his bones returned to the earth.

But his soul has left his body, floating above the funeral in a daze.

"God, please take me away, I have left the world."

The soul prayed.

Liu Ping suddenly had an unprecedented desire in his heart.

eat it!
As long as you eat this, the power of the world will become stronger!

Liu Ping frowned slightly, and murmured: "Is there no home for the soul? No... Although eating it can make me stronger, there must be other ways."

The voice fell.

He couldn't help looking at the soul again.

This time, Liu Ping could hardly take his eyes off his soul.

The uncontrollable appetite turned into a frenzy from the depths of his mind, sweeping everything crazily.

eat it!
The souls of all beings were born in the world, but they represent the essence of the world!
As long as you eat it, the power of the world will be further strengthened!
eat it!
eat it!
eat it!
All thoughts in Liu Ping's mind disappeared, leaving only this strongest desire.

suddenly.

A radiant human-shaped existence floated in mid-air, facing the soul.

Liu Ping looked at the human-shaped existence, and suddenly a sense of enlightenment arose in his heart.

This humanoid being represents itself.

It is the spirit of receiving!

It will guide all dead beings.

Whether to lead these souls to Liu Ping and be eaten directly, or to lead them to other places.

Now Liu Ping has to make a decision!

In the void, lines of burning small characters emerged:

"Start setting the rules of the world."

"The Spirit of Reception has been born."

"After any existence dies, as long as it is touched by your guiding spirit, it will be sent to you immediately."

"Are you going to eat them, or are there other options?"

"Please set up a guiding language for your guiding spirit in the world, so as to guide the souls of all beings!"

All fine print is collected.

Liu Ping tried his best to suppress the strong sense of hunger surging in his body, and couldn't help letting out a deep growl.

This is too difficult, I can hardly control my appetite, but I have to keep the guiding spirit from being touched by the soul.

Once it is sent to me, can I resist this desire?
--How to do?
God solemnly said: "Quickly set up a welcoming language to warn the souls not to approach - otherwise they will directly integrate into your soul. Once there is the first time, there will be the next time, until you are completely unable to resist the desire!"

"Some souls don't listen to warnings, so we must take this into consideration." The goddess of death interjected worriedly.

Liu Ping knelt down on the ground, his sanity began to blur.

But at the last moment when his consciousness was clear, he waved his hand and set an initial law for the guiding spirit!
After doing this, he immediately fell into a coma.

"He has lost the power to resist. Once he eats the souls of all living beings in a coma, he will fail the test." The female death god said.

"What rules did he set?" Mother Earth asked nervously.

"Just look at it." God said.

The three gods looked at the guiding spirit together.

I saw the soul floating in front of the guiding spirit, attracted by the indescribably powerful fluctuations of its body, couldn't help but knelt down in mid-air, and worshiped:
"Are you here to receive my god?"

The guiding spirit said in a dignified and solemn tone: "Guide your mother and guide you."

The soul was stunned, and whispered:

"Your Excellency, why are you angry? I just want to be attracted—"

The guiding spirit continued: "Guide your mother."

The soul is not sure what this radiant existence is.

"Did I make a mistake in this world? You are so angry..."

The soul is restless.

"Angry your mother." The guiding spirit continued.

Mother Earth couldn't help but asked, "Does it only answer the word 'your mother'?"

"Yes." God said.

"What's the use of setting up rules like this? Wouldn't it make mortals lose their sense of awe?" the female death god asked in confusion.

"Look on." God said succinctly.

The three gods continued to look around.

I saw the soul floating in the air for a while, but found that the guiding spirit did not make any other movements, nor did it speak any words.

"Could it be...it's nothing?" Soul murmured in a low voice.

"It's your mother." The guiding spirit scolded.

The soul floated silently in mid-air for a while, then retreated quietly, and left here after a while.

The world returned to quiet.

"It's the first time I've seen this method of attracting." Mother Earth murmured.

next moment.

World scene transitions.

In another tribe, a chief died.

His cremation was held in great solemnity.

The soul flew into the air, and immediately saw the human-shaped white light exuding infinite power fluctuations.

"God, is that you?" The chief's soul immediately knelt in the air and asked.

"I am your mother." The guiding spirit said.

The chief's soul was stunned, and asked, "Are you—really my mother?"

"It's your mother." The guiding spirit said.

"Your Excellency, are you my mother, or the envoy who came to pick me up?" the chief asked.

"God made your mother." The guiding spirit said.

The chief's soul hesitated for a moment, and murmured: "...it's a monster."

He stepped back cautiously, and after a while, he flew crazily away from the faint direction of the guiding spirit.

"It seems to be generally working," God said in a judgmental tone.

"But it's just for a soul that has wisdom and can communicate. What about other sentient beings?" the female death god asked curiously.

The scene shifts again.

in the forest.

A wild dog's time to die.

It lay on the grass, could no longer bear the torment of the disease, and stopped breathing.

Its soul floated up and flew into the air.

The guiding spirit appeared.

The soul of the wild dog looked at the guiding spirit, and growled vigilantly: "Wow!"

The guiding spirit took a deep breath——

In the next moment, only the spirit of receiving and guiding roared with all its strength in the void:

"Wow your mother!"

This sound was so piercing, earth-shattering, and deafening that the wild dog's soul immediately disappeared without a trace.

"……"God.

"..." Female death.

"..." Mother Earth.

"...Who is this person..." The ancient god's whisper sounded in the void.

The voice fell.

Lines of burning small characters quickly surfaced:
"Congratulations!"

"You set up the spirit of receiving in a way beyond ordinary people's comprehension, so that you successfully survived the desire to devour."

"We are about to enter the next test."

"Gods will be born in your world..."

Liu Ping suddenly opened his eyes.
