Death Benefit

 The layers are merging very quickly, and everyone can feel that their strength is recovering quickly.

 The restrictive rules between different levels are dissipating little by little.

This made the challengers feel like they were filled with tears.

 Before, in the human world, they were a group of challengers. The real challengers rode bicycles to find people to fight in groups.

 They have never been so low.

Even after entering the underworld, their power has been greatly improved, but every time they use power, they have to rely on connections and mobilize it from other realms layer by layer, and it is not obtained directly.

Every time power is mobilized, every boundary layer needs to cooperate, and then power concentration, structural construction, boundary breaking ceremony, power receiving ceremony, etc. are carried out.

  Anyway, you need to prepare once for each boundary. Otherwise, the power accuracy will be insufficient, so you should be prepared to attract boundary-breaking attacks on your head.

 The procedures are cumbersome and very energy-consuming.

 Because of this, their previous use of power was somewhat similar to a turn-based system.

 After using a move, you need to prepare for a certain period of cooling down before you can use your power. This process is time-consuming, laborious, and emotional.

 Now, although the power is still in other realms, the connection between them has become much clearer at this moment.

 It is enough to just send a certain request and then accept it through the ceremony.

 The procedure has been simplified by at least dozens of steps.

This feeling of power returning to the body is so wonderful.

 So much so that they are all inexplicably moved now.

 At the same time, a feeling of happiness rose in my heart.

 However, as this feeling grew, they immediately felt something was wrong.

Their minds are extremely powerful. They have lost their power for a period of time. Although they will feel happy when their power returns, the happiness is too much.

 Especially when they know that Lu Bai's path is happiness.

 Beware of happiness.

This kind of thing makes them instinctively dislike it.

 Because the pursuit of happiness is the essence of the existence of all life.

Some behaviors that seem to sacrifice one's own happiness are actually the pursuit of happiness, the kind of self-motivated happiness.

 It's like licking a dog. In the eyes of others, he loses his dignity and licks others and is not happy at all.

However, if you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?

 Perhaps for licking dogs, this kind of licking is a kind of happiness in itself.

 They start licking for happiness. They are constantly being pulled during the licking process and feel their emotions being aroused, thus feeling happy.

 If you lick your hand in the end, you will be even happier.

 Hence, the definition of happiness lies within each person.

If someone thinks that licking is happiness, then Lu Bai's method of happiness can still be applied to this person.

 Now, counterintuitively, they need to restrain their happiness.

That is to tell a licking dog to stop licking, people who love food start a hunger strike, and people who want to become stronger will weaken themselves.

This kind of behavior against happiness is truly against one's own inner pursuit of happiness.

Just thinking about it this way, their hearts were filled with reluctance.

 At this moment, they feel happy because they can use their power relatively easily.

Do you want to give up using your own power in order to avoid the influence of Lu Bai's path?

But soon, they also thought of a way, which was to calm down their emotions as soon as possible and treat everything as normal.

It is difficult for people to feel that kind of happiness with everything they are familiar with in daily life.

 Because people are always dissatisfied. For example, before, they never had such a happy feeling about everything they had under their control.

 This happiness comes only after regaining possession.

 The thoughts in their hearts change accordingly, and each of them is pretty good at interfering with their own minds.

Lu Bai smiled, sensing the changes in the other person, and collecting everyone's feedback on happiness.

 At the same time, the power of the true self is also constantly growing and changing.

 The next step is...

At this moment, Lu Zhu, who was in the distance, suddenly felt a large amount of black aura coming out of his body. His 'human' body was constantly being melted in the process.

 Some metaphysical things begin to form in their life.

 Sublimation, transformation, to meet higher life forms.

 At this moment, his power has broken through a limit, and his power is increasing exponentially.

 Lu Zhu opened his eyes, only to find that his body had been integrated into thousands of selves at this moment. In other words, at this moment, he had become the ‘Other Transformation of the Demon Lord’.

 The other person’s self becomes his self.

 At this point, it has become a foregone conclusion that he will achieve the Self-Heaven.

 And the real difficulties began to unfold at this moment.

 I can see that among countless selves, there are many driving forces mixed in.

Many people think that various thoughts come from the heart, but in fact they are the result of various external factors.

For example, love, most of the time, is nothing more than an emotional impulse driven by hormones and self-perpetuating instincts.

 Once time passes, love will deteriorate.

 Many people cannot see themselves clearly, and the so-called self is also full of influences from various external things.

At this time, as the life of Zi Zaitian undergoes transformation, this influence is also further penetrating into ‘Lu Zhu’.

 Desire is the main body of the self. The development of life derives from desire, and the instinct to continue the self also produces desire.

 The lofty pursuit of morality is also a desire, and changes in the mind and changes in information from the outside are also desires.

 The past drives its own present, which is also desire.

 The need for transformation and the persistence of the past are also desires.

These forces from other real dimensions were eroding Lu Zhu at this moment.

 Suddenly, Lu Zhu's existence became a battlefield.

 And he needs to stick to himself in this process and not be completely disturbed by other existences.

 The so-called self is the sum of all these, what is ultimately formed.

 This is why the Self-Heaven is the last real dimension that appears.

 Because the self is such a product.

As long as he can stick to himself and use these influences to his own advantage, then he can ascend to the real dimension and become the free heaven!

 However, at this critical moment, Lu Zhu opened his eyes and looked at Lu Bai.

 The self was affected by all those things, but after it finally took shape, the existence of ‘Lu Zhu’ was relatively little affected.

 He will become the outer shell of the free world.

 Become a better spokesperson than the real Challenger, but not much better.

 He may not even be as good as the Lord of the Underworld.

 This is not the self he wants! (End of chapter)
