Law of the Swarm

Chapter 487 The First Conversation

The monks in this world are very different from the monks in System's previous life who practiced martial arts while chanting sutras.

The monks in this world generally do not have clear beliefs, but focus on self-cultivation and self-improvement, so that their bodies will continue to perfect and reach a higher level of life.

The monk can use a unique Qi, which is very close to the [Dharma Palm Technique] that System inherited from the old druid Medlan.

In some respects, monks are similar to the old Drumedran who admired nature. They have their own understanding of everything in the world.

And every monk has a different understanding of everything.

If System forced his definition, the monks in this world were more like the immortals in the novels of System's previous life.

The cultivation of monks can also be regarded as cultivating immortals.

Although the tricks used are different, and the monks don't have any magic weapons, but the concepts of the two are basically the same.

In the early stages of cultivating immortals and monks, they were all about improving their life level and wanting to live longer, while in the later stage, they were all about transcending reincarnation, getting rid of their due fate, and gaining longevity.

The conventional promotion mode in this world is to promote from mortal to magical under the framework of the will of the world, and then from magical to extraordinary, legendary, and fantasy, and finally to seek power and become a divine life, conferring gods to achieve immortality.

The early training of monks is similar to the system of this world.

However, there is a difference in the later stage of the monks' cultivation. After they become fantasy ranks, they will not seek power, but continue to improve themselves, make their bodies perfect, and eventually become another kind of divine creature.

There is a sense in System's previous Xianxia novels of jumping out of the Three Realms and not being in the Five Elements, or it can be called ascension.

In fact, the path that System is taking is similar to that of a monk, both wanting to become a divine life that is not within the framework of this world.

But the monk relies on practice, and he relies on eating slime.

In the poems circulating in this world, there once appeared an unnamed bald monk. This unnamed monk was extremely powerful. In order to make his body more perfect, he once challenged all the powerful existences in this world.

In the poem, the nameless monk can use one finger to subdue the giant dragon of the fantasy rank, and a brain collapse can shatter the skull of the golden holy dragon.

The nameless monk can even defeat the gods head-on in the kingdom of gods.

Later, the unknown monk finally disappeared.

There is a saying that the nameless monk finally died because he challenged the God of God, and there is another saying that the nameless monk finally went to other worlds to challenge stronger existences...

System has always had deep doubts about the authenticity of poetry.

One is that the story is too exaggerated, and the poetry is too old, telling things about 7 years ago, and the remaining poems have been translated countless times to be taken seriously.

Second, from what System has seen and heard, there are really not many monks in this world.

He can confirm that the strongest monk in existence is only extraordinary. On the other main plane where the original Koslin Kingdom is located, there is an extraordinary monk who does not belong to the Golden Banana Federation.

That extraordinary monk wasn't very powerful either, and fought back and forth with ordinary warriors of the extraordinary rank, and there was nothing special about it.

In fact, Dawn, the monk who has grown hair, can be regarded as the strongest monk that System knows.

And after learning about the rest of the monk's secret techniques recorded in Dawn's mysterious fruit core.

System couldn't help but admit the legend about the unknown monk.

Because the remaining eight secret arts included two secret arts that surprised System——[Longevity Art] and [Martial Shattering Void].

Although there may be some differences in translation, it is these two things.

These two special secret techniques, together with superhuman powers and indestructible King Kong, gave System the feeling that he had come from the magical world of the West to the fantasy world of the East.

And System remembered another legend about monks that he saw a long time ago.

It is said that when a monk becomes a special divine life and can escape from this world, he will encounter some disasters, such as thunder, flames and the like.

When System heard this at first, he just felt that it was very inconsistent and nonsensical—why would there be such things as the thunder calamity of the oriental cultivator in the magical world.

System even had a feeling that a senior time traveler appeared in this world, and he became a troubadour, spreading unreliable stories everywhere.

However, after Newton Einstein published the theory of mental power, and learned about void monsters and other things, now System has a deeper understanding of the so-called Thunder Tribulation.

In the final analysis, it is still related to the purpose of monk training.

What the monks ultimately seek is to escape from this world, to cut off all ties to this world, but the power they possess is born from this world.

The so-called practice against the sky is probably like this.

When a monk escapes from this world, he will take away considerable power from this world. The will of the world will naturally prevent this from happening, so things like Thunder Tribulation are produced.

If everyone detaches from this world like monks, then in the end this world will have the same result as the invasion of void monsters, and gradually decline.

……

"From this point of view, the divine creature that I use slime to promote should also be hindered by the will of the world." System looked at the monk Dawn under the skyscraper, showing some emotion .

After all, to steal power from this world and take it away, it is reasonable for the will of the world to hinder him.

System couldn't help but think of the God of Truth that disappeared tens of thousands of years ago - when the God of Truth disappeared, was it blocked by the will of the world?
And these void monsters, why are they not being hindered in stealing the spiritual power of this world?
Could it be the special fluctuations emitted by void monsters that can hinder the detection of the will of the world?

Shaking his head, System did not continue to think about these issues.

Because System was born with a strange idea*****Tum’s character has never changed, he can inflict ill will on people he has never met, but if someone takes the initiative to repay him with kindness, Sith Thum returned an act of kindness, too.

As for System being able to get to this point, the will of the world has provided him with selfless help many times.

He didn't realize it before, but now he has realized the help of the will of the world to him all the time.

Some people may be indifferent to the practice of the will of the world, thinking that the will of the world should do this.

Some people even feel that the will of the world is unfair, giving geniuses so much and giving them so little.

Some people still think that System, as a tentacle monster, cares so much that it's purely careless.

But System is such an existence.

System knew that as long as he opened the head, he would use a special method to become a divine creature.

Using [data template] in the future, there will definitely be people in the Golden Banana Federation who will follow the same path as him, or a similar path.

Although there are void monsters coming in, but whether it is good or bad for this world, System is not sure.

The will of the world helped him, but he made a move that endangered the world. System was really sorry.

……

System looked at the night sky that was gradually clearing up, with little stars twinkling slightly.

"If I say that I will try my best to help you after I become a divine creature, then when I become a divine creature, can you stop me and not give me those messy disasters?"

System said softly, then shook his head with a sigh.

However, following System's words, a buzzing sound suddenly appeared in System's mind, and the voice of the world appeared again.

The voice of the world gave him no title.

Nor did it give him strength.

It just sent him a message, which seemed to be a response to what he just said, and the message only had one word - "Okay."
