Chapter 403: The Three Poisons of Life, the Dimension of the Heart
Amidst the widespread outbreak of war, whispers filled the air, causing everyone's eyes to turn red with a frenzied desire to kill. The rebels were venting their ambitions with increasing urgency and madness.
Qin Muye observed this scene and realized something was amiss. The madness had reached a fever pitch, as if everyone had lost their minds.
Above the entire Da You Dynasty, the collective madness of the people condensed into a visible black smoke, gradually forming a massive, tangible entity.
Perhaps the cultivators of the Upper Three Realms could faintly sense the aura emanating from this black smoke with their divine senses.
"The Three Poisons of Life, terrifying to this extent," Qin Muye couldn't help but sigh.
Others might not be able to discern the true nature of this black smoke, but he could. These were the three great demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion from the Spirit Realm.
However, they had now transcended the Spirit Realm and formed a higher-level entity.
"I once thought that Greed, Hatred, and Delusion might be one, but I never imagined that someone would use three 7th Rank beings to merge into an 8th Rank one. This is completely unscientific."
The black smoke, resembling a heart, pulsated continuously above the Da You Dynasty. Even the Divine Emperor of Da You noticed it but only glanced at it once before resuming his own meditations.
He knew that these three demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion were about to reach an even more powerful realm. Naturally, the first to face them would be Qin Muye, not himself.
"The insect race's Yin energy, it seems you seized the opportunity for your breakthrough during your absence," Qin Muye quickly identified the reason for the transformation of the three demons.
If anyone were to match Yin energy perfectly, it wouldn't be the 10th Realm cultivator, the Divine Emperor of Da You, but rather the three demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion, born from emotions and desires.
Qin Muye wanted to take action, but he couldn't.
The black heart was not a tangible entity but a phantom existence, a conglomeration of all the emotions and desires from the rebellion.
He could indeed instantly eliminate a large number of rebels, but that would be counterproductive, accelerating the formation of the entity rather than curbing it.
Putting people to sleep or forcibly stopping the war would also be ineffective, as this was fueled by emotions and desires.
Of course, there was a solution: destroy the world.
But Qin Muye didn't want to do that. In the past, he was forced to resort to such drastic measures when he was at a disadvantage, but now he was in a favorable position. Why should he do it? He not only needed to complete his mission to gain territory traits but also to secure all the resources in the server.
He even had the audacity to devour the entire server.
In a favorable position, one must play the game accordingly. Caution is necessary, but it must be applied judiciously.
"Is the Divine Emperor not going to take action? If the three demons of the Spirit Realm truly form, the first to suffer won't be me, but his own cultivators."
The Divine Emperor's assessment was correct. Even if the three demons fully transform, the first to face them will indeed be Qin Muye.
However, the impact will be on the cultivator system. These cultivators will be immediately corrupted by the demons, turning them into a horde of madmen.
The entire Da You Dynasty is managed by cultivators. If the cultivator system fails, the dynasty will grind to a halt. Even calling it a mess would be an overstatement.
The common people, who are illiterate and unaware of laws and trade, would have to rebuild from scratch if they survived.
However, Qin Muye soon realized that perhaps the Divine Emperor wanted this outcome.
After all, the Da You Dynasty was already saturated.
Not by ordinary people, but by the noble families and schools.
So, this wave of chaos could be a chance to clear the slate. With only ordinary people left, it would be easier to manage. He had once established the vast Da You Dynasty under the siege of three forces. With the current favorable situation and years of governance, he could certainly restore it.
The three demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion were also pleased. Without cultivators, even if ordinary people rose to power and oppressed each other, as long as the Divine Emperor's policies were people-centric and the noble families and schools were cut off, the population would grow even more.
"These two sides might not have communicated, but after thousands of years of entanglement, they know each other inside and out. A small move can reveal the next step," Qin Muye shook his head, understanding that compared to these old foxes, he had no advantage except for his special abilities.
Perhaps they were destined by heaven, but without the necessary skills, they would never have been able to ascend to their current positions.
"Currently, it's just the heart. The other organs will probably take a few more days to form. They really are quite confident," Qin Muye felt that the three demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion were underestimating him.
"I need to test them and see what this thing is about," Qin Muye thought. He couldn't just stand idly by and had to take some action.
Otherwise, if they transformed right in front of him without any resistance, he would lose face.
"Come, witness the dark star of Dionysus."
Qin Muye rubbed his hands together, and strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, and gravity began to converge in an extremely unscientific manner.
This wasn't a legitimate scientific process, after all. He wasn't scientific, the Sky Net wasn't scientific, and the first person to use it, Hercules, wasn't scientific either.
But that was fine; unscientific methods had their own way of being used.
He just needed to modify it a bit.
The black star began to rise, transforming into a terrifying black hole that devoured everything.
The black hole was still small, barely noticeable on the pulsating heart, but in an instant, it expanded, its fierce suction pulling everything around it.
Even the heart itself seemed to blur for a moment.
"Insatiable, indeed not scientific," Qin Muye mused.
The black star was incredibly greedy, pulling everything into it, but the heart remained steadfast.
Even when emotions and desires were pulled in, more emerged from the Da You Dynasty to fill the void.
This only accelerated the process rather than delaying it.
Qin Muye had no choice but to cut off the dark star of Dionysus. As he stopped, the black hole-like star gradually dissipated in the endless sea of emotions and desires.
"Not quite smooth, it seems my technique is still lacking. I'm better at overwhelming force," Qin Muye narrowed his eyes as he looked at the black heart.
This thing was very difficult to handle and was not a conventional living being.
Physical and magical attacks had no effect on it; it was entirely a phantom existence.
"It should be described as being one dimension higher than the Sorcerer Dynasty server," Qin Muye now understood why it was called a high-dimensional demon.
Because its form placed it in a different world dimension from Qin Muye.
The heart existed in a dimension of the mind, emotions, and desires, not in the real world.
Qin Muye's dark star of Dionysus could indeed affect it, but only to a limited extent.
Harming it was impossible.
Now, Qin Muye was continuously analyzing it, trying to find a way to break through this method.
He could kill someone, but he couldn't remove their desires or emotions at a metaphysical level.
"Unfortunately, if I could cut off the frontal lobes of the three demons, why can't I cut off the frontal lobes of the people supplying them?"
Qin Muye suddenly realized that while he couldn't kill, he could cut off the frontal lobes of these people.
All the citizens of the Da You Dynasty were the frontal lobes of the three demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion.
Emotions and desires were just that. Qin Muye decided to remove them at the physical level. Without the necessary organs, there would be no metaphysical or theological significance.
Although the heart existed in a higher dimension of the mind, its foundation was still in the real world, which was its greatest vulnerability.
"I'll try it out. If it works, none of you will have it easy," Qin Muye sneered. He was never a good person and always took whatever means necessary to achieve his goals.
Soon, Qin Muye selected an experimental area in the Da You Dynasty. It wasn't appropriate to have the goblins assist him, as his experimental area contained 30,000 people, ranging from ordinary citizens to sorcerers.
After all, it was a rebel camp, so it was quite normal.
Qin Muye had to personally remove the frontal lobes of these 30,000 people. With his current strength, it was quite simple. A slight movement of his hand, and everyone in the experimental area became mindless zombies.
