Chapter 1457: Power comes from people

Zhu Zheng's face became excited as he watched the monster-like machine start to operate and transfer the substance obtained by squeezing dozens of people into the container where Zhu Yu was.

“It’s a great masterpiece, isn’t it?”

"Using countless lower-level providers to worship a supreme being! This is in line with the logic of biological populations!"

"Moreover, compared to killing the aliens and then absorbing their essence, this method of squeezing juice from them alive has a higher conversion rate!"

“This is absolutely wonderful!”

Zhu Zheng's smile gradually became perverted, with a hint of paranoid madness in his eyes.

"It won't be long before I too will have my own Ipsilon!"

……

Two days later.

Yang Xinxin found Zhang Yi and provided him with the first deciphered intelligence.

"I have finished compiling the Epic of King Gesar. You will definitely be very interested in this information, brother."

Yang Xinxin, wearing a black Lolita outfit, sat obediently beside Zhang Yi, smiling, putting her white and tender hands on his shoulders, and looking at him with a smile.

Zhang Yi was wearing casual home clothes, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, and opened the information transmitted by Yang Xinxin with great interest.

Looking at the information in front of him, his eyes were soon filled with light and deep shock.

The feeling of the doubts that had shrouded his heart for a long time gradually dissipating made him feel very refreshed.

"Interesting, really interesting!"

According to the records in the Epic of King Gesar, King Gesar and Guru Padmasambhava had many conversations in those days, which were specifically about the power of Tantric faith and the extraordinary people.

The so-called reincarnation is actually a kind of ability of King Gesar.

It is not a true reincarnation, but a belief that through the belief in Tantra, a suitable successor is selected in the afterlife.

This also explains why Jueguo and Luozhu were able to merge in the end and both exerted the power of Tantric faith.

During the decisive battle with Prince Anlit, the undertaker said that he was Guru Padmasambhava, probably because Guru Padmasambhava helped King Gesar suppress the demon kingdom.

The meaning of this sentence is that Zhang Yi is his destined ideal helper.

"If one is a top-notch Nen user, he or she can indeed pass on his or her beliefs to future generations through blood or faith."

Zhang Yi murmured.

Yang Xinxin sat beside him with her legs bent, her little feet in black stockings dangling gently.

"I think the most interesting records here are about supernatural powers and the Nine-story Demon Tower."

She helped Zhang Yi look through the somewhat complicated information, found the relevant pages, and then pointed to the text on them for Zhang Yi to see.

"In the understanding of King Gesar and Guru Padmasambhava, extraordinary people are born from huge ethnic groups. The more people there are in the ethnic group, the stronger the collective belief that is born."

"This power will eventually converge on one person, making him the child of destiny."

She rolled her eyes and said, "Back then, on the snowy plateau, the Demon Kingdom ruled the land and enslaved the people. King Gesar came into being. He was born under the inspiration of this belief, and he possessed the power strong enough to overthrow the Demon Kingdom!"

When Zhang Yi heard Yang Xinxin say this, he couldn't help but think about the strange people he had seen around him.

"But, after the apocalypse, are people's beliefs strong enough to give birth to so many aliens?"

He shook his head.

"I don't understand Inhumans, but do I understand humans? Their only belief is to keep themselves alive. They won't pray for others to become stronger and then destroy them."

"This is fundamentally different from the chaotic ancient times. People are more rational and more selfish."

Yang Xinxin smiled and nodded.

"Brother, I think so too."

"So," she pointed to the Nine-Story Demon Tower, "I saw some clues in their description of the Nine-Story Demon Tower."

Zhang Yi looked carefully.

The material contains descriptions of the Nine-Storied Demon Pagoda by King Gesar and Guru Padmasambhava.

It was born in the Demon Kingdom era.

The high priest of the Demon Kingdom followed the devil's will and ordered people to build a high tower and offer sacrifices with flesh and blood.

The highest level of sacrifice is humans with special talents.

Water it with blood, make musical instruments with skin and bones to please the devil, and show your sincerity to the devil with bloody killings.

In a nutshell, the construction of every nine-story demon tower is accompanied by the deaths of countless people.

"Xinxin, what do you think?"

Zhang Yi asked.

Yang Xinxin's gaze gradually became profound, and the smile on her lips became much more intense.

"My guess is, it's the human heart!"

She stroked her chest, which was slightly flatter now.

"Brother, do you still remember what Jueguo said to you when we parted?"

Zhang Yi recalled that time and murmured, "In this world, there has never been any reincarnation, let alone any power of faith."

"Yes, it's just the human heart."

It dawned on him.

"You mean to say that the so-called supernatural powers come from the power of the human mind!"

Yang Xinxin said: "This statement is a bit metaphysical and difficult to explain. But we can think that people have some special energy. When it comes to an individual, this power is very weak."

"Of course, since the human population is so large, there will always be some special individuals who are born with more powerful special energies."

"They are born aliens. In the past, we thought they were people with super powers."

Zhang Yi nodded, and gradually understood.

"So, the Nine-story Demon Tower, or the purple pyramid in the underground world that I have seen before, are actually energy collectors! They exist to obtain a large amount of this special energy from humans."

"Therefore, they need to be subjected to bloody sacrifices to release the energy from the human body through killing."

Sometimes the truth of the matter is revealed as you sort it out.

Zhang Yi suddenly raised his head, looked at Yang Xinxin in surprise and said:

"That's why, after the end of the world, so many strange people suddenly appeared in this world!"

"Because the more people die, the more their special energy will dissipate. Thus creating a huge energy field!"

"Others who absorb this power will become Inhumans."

"Moreover, as long as the apocalypse continues, the more people die, the higher the probability that the survivors will mutate, and the stronger they will become!"

A mysterious smile appeared on Yang Xinxin's lips.

She hugged her legs and sat on the sofa, looking sideways at Zhang Yi.

"Brother, you are very smart. This explanation basically fits everything we have experienced so far."

"However, the truth of the matter is probably not that simple. We need more intelligence to see the problem more thoroughly."
