Chapter 1239: The Prelude of Tao, the Indescribable Seed

With starlight.

Everyone sat around.

In front of him was the dry tinder in Lana's backpack and the dry firewood that had been drained of moisture by Jiang Yi.

"When we go camping, there is a custom that the most honorable person in the group should be the one to 'light the bonfire'. Sir, the candidate for the Forest King, let you do it! You saved me, and Ying and Paimon both say that you are the most honorable person here." Lana smiled and stretched out her hand.

The three Lanaros shifted their gazes at the same time.

Lanaro didn't want to lie, Lanaro didn't want to expose the king of plants, Lanaro asked Nala cat to light a bonfire.

Ying blinked, and Paimeng put his hands on his hips with a hint of teasing.

Jiang Yi looked at Nashida beside him.

"Most honorable Mr. Luwu, it's time to light the bonfire." Nashida nodded with a smile.

Don't ask Jiang Yi why he could see Nashida's smile from the expression of the Dusk Bird.

"This guy is starting to use as many names to hide his identity as his nicknames!" Paimeng whispered to Ying. Jiang Yi was called Zeus before, but now he has changed to Luwu.

"These names may not be nicknames!" Ying watched the interaction between Jiang Yi and Nashida. It was becoming less and less awkward for the cat and the bird to be together.

Jiang Yi smiled helplessly, raised his cat paw, and didn't use any fire-making tools.

Simply by snapping the cat's claws, sparks appeared from the sharp and hard claws, igniting the tinder and starting a bonfire.

Lana's eyes lit up. As expected of a candidate for the Forest King, making a bonfire was also full of the demeanor of a strong man. She couldn't help but say, "It is said that in dark times, fire symbolizes warmth and courage."

"At that time, there were real 'tigers' in the forest, and the earliest forest rangers were attendants who guarded the forest king's royal garden."

She talked about the origins of the forest ranger.

"It's just that, due to disasters, many records have disappeared."

This disaster is the dark calamity of Kanreya.

"I've always wanted to see a real tiger..." Her eyes sparkled and her hands were ready to move.

Yes, she wanted to touch it.

I also want to see Jiang Yi turn into a tiger.

"Is this your wish?" Jiang Yi's only eye was clear, like the sky reflected in the puddle beside him, reflecting the azure full moon.

Lana showed an obsessive look: "Legend has it that star mushrooms are the reflections of stars in the sky falling to the ground. Legend has it that if you see the moon lotus blooming, you will be lucky until the moon rises again."

"Legend has it that if you drink the water reflecting the full moon from the footprints of the forest king, you will become the king's attendant."

After regaining her memories of her time with Lan Lana, she recalled many stories that Lan Lana had told her.

Paimeng subconsciously glanced at the puddle where Jiang Yi had stepped.

The moonlight is bright, like pearls.

But isn't this water Jiang Yi's... ahem! Let Yandora drink it.

She and Ying didn't need to enjoy this "gift".

They are friends of the noble Jiang Yi, not his attendants.

"In past legends, the forest king is immortal. At the end of his life, his body will merge into the dense forest, his claws and fangs will turn into iron and wood, his stripes will turn into an endless maze, and his blazing eyes will be divided into the bright moon in the sky and the bright moon in the water."

Lan Lana sways her body, and on the cool night when the stars and the moon shine on the puddles, it always makes people want to get up and tell the legend.

Nashida enjoyed this quiet yet lively atmosphere.

What is quiet is the forest after the rainstorm, and what is lively are the friends of the forest.

Lanlizhe and Lanqidu held hands, looked up, and recited the famous proverbs in the forest.

"Everyone who dies will be reborn in another body;"

"Everything that is rotten will give rise to pure and tender new sprouts."

Ying and Paimeng opened their mouths, not knowing what was happening.

"This is what the forest king said." Nashida smiled and added, "All things have their own time for birth and death, and the cycle continues. The king of trees once preached the way of endless life. The fruits that fall to the earth will become food for the beasts.

And the animals will eventually return to the earth and become fruits. The forest is always full of life. "

Endless life is like the supreme law of natural life.

Jiang Yi engraved the "maxim" in his heart, and a fire flickered like stars inside his body.

A single spark can start a prairie fire; it is the fire of death.

Wildfires cannot be extinguished; they will spring up again with the spring breeze. They are the fire of life.

The cycle of growth and decline each year is the endless power of Tai Sui.

Everything in the world is helping him, helping him to understand life and defeat death. His conversations and laughter are all witty, and there is no foolishness in his words.

but……

The heart beats like a drum inside the body.

The human Tai Su Qi on the chest is shining brightly, and one of its essences of endless life is - reproduction!

The endless power of reproduction makes the flame of life transform from a candle into a torch, burning fiercely. The laws of life are tempered within, and the power of reproduction in the body shows its fangs.

Towards the "high sky" above, towards the "darkness" below, towards "oneself".

Just like the first time life was born, it looked up at the day and night, at the azure sun and the pitch-black sun.

It gave rise to fear, unwillingness, and ignorant hope...Mortals who cannot live forever can only pass on the hope of inheritance to future generations.

Yes, life is endless.

However, God is the only one who is immortal.

When consciousness falls, is the consciousness that reappears still your own?

The supreme reincarnation of Nirvana, life after life of reproduction, endless life, all living things, but... can we still find the original self?

The microbial community, insect community, plant world... in Jiang Yi's body raised their heads together, opened billions of eyes, and revealed all kinds of different thoughts.

Are we you? Are you us?

In essence, human genes are nothing more than fragments of humans combined from most viruses, a synthetic "coincidental" life. We all live in this body, but it was just your consciousness that was once dominant.

Now, the human body has gradually reached its extreme, and everything on the body has turned into everything.

Your descendants are not you, and the part of you...is not you either!

Fanyan whispered to Jiang Yi.

The vast vitality and strong adaptability have never belonged to "people" but to "us".

It was as if all cells had their own consciousness, and the viruses and bacteria in the body came back to life under the vitality of life and the distortion and mutation of the sky and darkness.

Microorganisms are one of the oldest and simplest forms of life; insects make up the vast majority of biological species on the planet; plants are one of the most important organisms... Each of these ecological niches has the power to survive in extremely harsh environments.

Microorganisms, insects, and other organisms with shorter lives are able to reproduce more quickly and adapt to environmental changes.

In a harsh environment, can a helpless human being be better than an insect or cockroach that can survive for weeks or even months without food or water?

Plants provide oxygen and food, can repair the environment and resist pests and diseases, some are able to repair and regenerate themselves, and mosses can adapt to extreme drought and cold and can grow without soil and water.

Their benefits to the planet, their strong vitality, and their wisdom in this world where all things become monsters and dead things become spirits, are no less than that of humans.

So, why are you "Jiang Yi"?

"Everyone who dies will be reborn in another body."

This describes you, and also us who have died in history and are sleeping in the human body.

You are just the soil that gave birth to us. What is resurrected from the rotten corpse is never human beings, but us!

Delusions, whispers, Jiang Yi's dazed expression, then turned into a strange "calmness".

No one noticed, not even Narcida.

Because "they" are also Jiang Yi.

The Alaya consciousness that connects all living beings can make the consciousness of gods descend upon the bodies of others. This nature can also make them who appear on Jiang Yi's body interfere with Jiang Yi's consciousness, because they are also "Alaya".

Inside that body where many higher powers beyond the mundane are interwoven, a life that ordinary people cannot understand, cannot observe, and can only feel deep fear for, is born little by little under the power of the sky, the dark power of the universe, and the power of life.

Is it ominous? For all things, good and evil are meaningless. They control countless laws. If they reveal a corner of their body, humans can study it for thousands or tens of thousands of years... Now, the "forbidden knowledge" that the gods and humans on this planet cannot understand has also been integrated into their bodies.

Then one day, they will not be understood by people on the planet.

The beast hounds with no flesh and blood but only bones, the humus dragons with poisonous blood and black wings, the machines driven by darkness, and... you don't know, the otherworldly things that are now far away in the Water Kingdom, such as stars, meteorites, and the eye-like gap realm primordials... are also the silhouettes of their dark lives.

Yes! It is not simply the "death" of the universe, but the life that embraces the "death" of the universe. Isn't that the dark life?

Some Kanreya people call the dark power an uncontrollable and indescribable force, but if the power is contained by us, we will also be indescribable.

This is the Tao, which cannot be named.

Too simple to be named.

This is the foundation of the universe.

Our universe controls the sublimation of the "ultimate law", which ordinary people call - distortion.

We were born in your body, and we will be supreme.

Our entity passing by is a natural disaster and the end of the planet. This is what “all things are reduced to straw dogs” means.

Before destruction, everyone is equal and all planets are equal.

Jiang Yi's divinity became increasingly darker and deeper, and the aura he exuded was as vast and boundless as the universe.

The prelude of Tao resounds silently, with the grandeur of the great sound that is silent.

"Your Highness Luwu, since you have heard Laurana's wish, why don't you change into another one?" Paimon smiled. It was the first time that she and He Ying heard Jiang Yi being called the candidate for the Forest King.

I am very curious about what Jiang Yi's other "tiger" form looks like.

This sounds like a very unusual title. When will Ying and I be able to have one?

"I want to see it too." Ying said softly, frantically hinting at Jiang Yi's wish.

"...Ahem, it's my honor to meet the candidate for the Forest King. If His Majesty Luwu is unwilling, I have absolutely no intention of forcing you." Lana was extremely nervous.

Jiang Yi rolled his eyes.

I saw the curry rice Lana was making, and then looked at the fruit in front of me.

“For the food offerings and the donors of wonderful sounds, I will fulfill their wishes and come to see my true self.” He smiled, and the base color was stained with a dark green fire of life, which spread throughout his body.

The mycelium grew wildly and turned into a giant tiger.

Majestic and noble.

The colorful colors of the forest hide the unspeakable...horror deep inside.

The giant tiger with a human face and nine tails has deep blue eyes, like the burning eyes of the original forest king of Mount Sumeru, which can be the bright moon in the sky and in the water.

After all, he still has the power of Hai Zhi Yue Hua in his body. Even if it is sealed, he can still display the sacred glory of Yue She Qian Chuan.

But, the back side of the moon.

Maybe... there will be different colors.

"The color of the tree king holy body mushroom, the color of the delicious star mushroom, the color of the leaves and flowers of the moon lotus, the color of the Xumi rose, the color of the Dun Dun peach, the color of the kalpa lotus... the texture of the radiant tree, the enlightenment tree, the karma fruit tree... the feathers and fluff of the dusk bird, the group sparrow, the squirrel..."
