The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

"Tear it?"

Gong Yuerong looked at Li Muchen in surprise, and then giggled.

"Do you really think that's a book that can be torn up at will? That's the law of nature, the foundation of how the world works!"

"The way of heaven is unfair, there is no need for such rules to exist." Li Muchen said.

"But without rules, how can mortals protect themselves? If the weak lose the protection of the rules, the strong can trample on everything, and the world will inevitably fall into chaos and become a world where the strong prey on the weak and people eat each other!" Gong Yuerong said, staring at Li Muchen with her beautiful eyes, as if she was looking forward to his answer.

Li Muchen smiled and said, "You are wrong."

"Am I wrong?" Gong Yuerong looked at him curiously.

"The strong prey on the weak, which is also a rule." Li Muchen said, "The reason why the strong become strong is because they are protected by the rules, and the reason why the weak become weak is that they suffer from the rules. Without rules, where would the strong and where would the weak come from?"

"In order to rule the world, the Heavenly Dao first established a set of chaotic underlying rules. Under this set of rules, tigers eat wolves, wolves eat sheep, the strong bully the weak, and the big bully the small. People all think that this set of survival rules is the true face of the world. The weak have no one to rely on and can only pray for God's protection. Then the Heavenly Dao sealed the temple of all things on top of this underlying rule and rebuilt a new order that seems fair. So all living beings are grateful and all people are grateful."

Gong Yuerong's eyes sparkled as she said, "I never thought you could see this far. But what can you do if you see it? Do you want to go against the way of heaven?"

"If the way of heaven is unfair, why can't we resist?" Li Muchen asked back.

The light in Gong Yuerong's eyes became brighter, even a little enthusiastic: "Your tone of voice is similar to his!"

"Who?"

"Holy Master!"

Gong Yuerong seemed to be thinking of something, and a trace of melancholy appeared on her face.

"Back then, he founded the Holy Religion and led us to rebel against the Heavenly Dao. People called us the Demonic Religion and said that he was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Demon. He never seemed to deny this. He said that the devil is in the Dao, and the immortal is in the Dao. Whether it is an immortal or a devil is just an obsession. It's a pity..."

Gong Yuerong sighed, "It's so easy to resist the way of heaven! Even someone like the Holy Lord failed in the end. Do you think you can do it?"

"I don't know." Li Muchen did not show confidence and enthusiasm, but just said lightly, "Whether to do it or not is one thing, whether it works or not is another. The success of cultivation is not the success of whether it works or not."

Gong Yuerong nodded slightly: "Yes, you are indeed qualified to accept the trial of the Divine Palace."

"Trial in the Divine Palace?" Li Muchen was slightly stunned.

"Didn't you just ask how the Divine Palace came about?" Gong Yuerong looked at him and said, "It is said that after the saint created the world, he died and his spirit was scattered throughout the world. Therefore, all living beings in the world, who inherited the saint's spirit, have Divine Palaces. And this is where the saint died, and it is also the origin of life."

"Not everyone can come here. Your entry proves your bloodline and your good fortune. However, it is easy to get in, but difficult to get out. To get out, you need to go through three trials. Only by passing the trials can you prove that you are qualified to resist the way of heaven. At that time, I will follow you and recognize you as the Holy Lord, and our Gong family will have completed its mission."

"Which three levels of trial?" Li Muchen asked.

"Chen Guang, Samsara, and Wuque." Gong Yuerong said.

"Chen Guang...Wu Qu..." Li Muchen murmured.

“Are you surprised why the name of the Trial Gate is the same as Shen Guanghai and Wuque Mountain?” Gong Yuerong asked with a smile.

"Yes, Shenguang Sea is the place of the underworld, and Wuqi Mountain is the land of light in the west. What is their relationship with the Shrine?"

"As I said earlier, the Shrine represents the origin of life. Where there is life, there is death, and where there is death, there is life. When a saint dies, his soul is divided into three parts. The first is the Shrine, which is the soul of life; the second is Shen Guang, which is the soul of death; and the third is Wu Ji, which represents the bright and clean soul that transcends life and death."

"Then Shen Guanghai and Wuque Mountain, could it be that the other two souls of the saint have returned to their place of rest?"

"Chen Guanghai was originally part of the world, connected to Kunlun. The seal of the Heavenly Dao Palace controls the reincarnation of the sun and the moon, and the birth of all things. Later, the Book of Conferred Gods was published, and the Palace of All Things was sealed. In order to fight against the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Demon was reincarnated and the Holy Lord was born. Hades is the most capable person around the Holy Lord, but he and the Holy Lord have different ideas. The Holy Lord wants to liberate all living beings and make everyone equal. But Hades' goal is to replace the Heavenly Dao."

"Later, Hades stole Shen Guang's soul, manipulated the death of all living beings, and formed his own underworld. From then on, yin and yang were separated, life and death were in conflict, and the fate of all living beings was completely manipulated by the Heavenly Dao and Hades. The departure of Hades also caused the disintegration of the Holy Church. However, only a few people knew that Hades did not just leave, but completely betrayed. In the process of the destruction of the Holy Church, Hades secretly joined forces with the Heavenly Dao..."

Having said this, Gong Yuerong's face showed grief and anger, and then she sighed deeply, as if she didn't want to mention Pluto again.

"As for the Immaculate Mountain, there is no such mountain in the world. The Immaculate is beyond life and death, bright and pure. Only those who have attained the Tao can see it, and ordinary people can never find it. Lu Xifu once pursued the Immaculate Soul, and he searched all the way west, and finally founded the Western Church of Light. But in the end, he was unable to obtain the Immaculate Soul, because the light of heaven is everywhere. No one can achieve enlightenment under the eyes of heaven."

"So that's why there are nine levels of heavenly tribulation?!" Li Muchen said.

“There are more than nine levels!” Gong Yuerong said, “Once the Book of Conferred Gods is published, the seal of the Divine Palace will be determined by the Heaven. Who can open and close it, and how many levels can be opened, are all decided by Heaven. After the ninth level, there are nine point nine levels, nine point nine nine levels, and it will never end.”

Three words popped up in Li Muchen’s mind: many disasters.

"Then why is there no Divine Palace in the triple trial, but Shen Guang and Wu Qu, with a reincarnation in the middle?"

"Because the Temple of God is the source of life, the original life does not need trials. And Shen Guang is death, people are most afraid of death, facing death, all the ugliness and sins of human nature will be exposed. Therefore, Shen Guang's trial is the most dangerous."

"After death, there is extinction. From nothing to something, reincarnation is needed. Reincarnation is also life, but it is not the life of the God's Palace, and it is not the most fundamental energy of life. It is enlightenment in the endless reincarnation. Although this level is not as dangerous as Shen Guang, it is the most tiring."

"After reincarnation, one will have a pure body. But no one has been able to pass this level so far. I don't know what I will experience."

After Gong Yuerong finished speaking, she looked at Li Muchen.

"Do you understand? If you are willing to accept the trial, follow me."

Li Muchen still had some questions in his mind, such as how did Gong Yuerong know the content of the three-level trial? Did she pass the first two levels herself? If not, then someone else must have passed. Who was that person?

But Gong Yuerong was gone.

He didn't ask any more questions and chased after him.

Gong Yuerong was right in front of him, walking slowly. She was covered with a thin red veil, and her snow-white skin and exquisite curves were vaguely visible. In the pink, warm and moist fantasy space, she looked so psychedelic and charming.
