[Beauty]
Silence reigned.
Not only the hundreds of thousands of Saints participating in the normal Judgment, but also the Saints in the surrounding area who could view it through the [Judgment Record] turned their gazes toward Ansen, with tens of millions of Saints staring intently at him.
More and more Saints are taking in this scene through the [Judgment Record], and even many Survivor mixed in with the Saints are watching.
Such a large-scale [horse-riding] scene is relatively rare even in Survival Games dominated by eccentric characters.
But this put far less pressure on Ansen than Mu Hongyuan's casual snort.
His expression remained unchanged. He turned and looked tenderly at Mu Hongyuan, saying softly:
Are you ready?
Mu Hongyuan raised his head slightly, his expression neither sad nor happy.
Ansen raised his hand, his fingertips firmly supporting her chin, lifting her face, and with Ye Guanlan's assistance, his voice boomed:
"Such a Perfect face, such a Perfect body, such Perfect soul— Divinity creation bestowed by the highest order!"
"A person possessing such beauty could never Blasphemy thoughts! Could never commit sins! If you condemn her, you are violating the beauty of the Gods! You are punishing the purest and most benevolent God!"
Hearing these flawed words, Yun Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, like the fear and emptiness of someone grabbing her butt and sucking out all her excrement.
Ye Guanlan suddenly sensed that Yun Xiaoxiao's life force had ceased, as if she were dead.
She shut down all her senses, in every form, into an eternal slumber, which, without external awakening, would remain eternally silent until death.
Ye Guanlan was startled and hesitated for a fraction of a second before locking down most of his senses.
The Saints were almost amused by this ridiculous reason.
Absurd! Utterly absurd!
Where in the world are there rules for judging good and evil, and for absolving oneself of sins?
If one could be exempt from all sins and directly attain Divinity simply by possessing stunning beauty, wouldn't worldly laws, Divine Kingdom rules, and the law of cause and effect become utterly ridiculous?
What kind of reasoning is this? Why don't you say that a Blasphemy prostitute could be acquitted by all 501 red-clad jurors who initially opposed her simply because she exposed herself in court?
But in the next instant, Ansen gently cupped Mu Hongyuan's head in his palm, making her slowly raise her head.
The generational order of everyone began to change.
Ansen stared intently at Mu Hongyuan, who was so close to him, and suddenly recalled the fragmented knowledge his philosophy teacher had taught him back then.
He said that all the lecherous people in the world are just a bunch of scoundrels who have no aesthetic sense and claim to have good taste.
Ordinary people are trapped by the beauty of physical appearance, while wise people pursue the beauty of Truth.
Beauty is inherently a progressive hierarchy: superficial physical appearance, graceful posture, pure spiritual virtue, dignified manners and character, vast artistic Knowledge, and profound Truth...
Ascending layer by layer, one finally arrives at the source of all beauty—the absolute, pure, perfect, and eternal [Essence of Beauty].
True beauty itself depends on no medium, is neither born nor dies, and is eternal and Immutable. All beauty in the world is but a glimpse of its brilliance. It is the source of all beauty, the ultimate existence that is pure, perfect, and of oneness with Truth!
But that transcendental existence, which only exists in philosophy, seemed to have descended upon Mu Hongyuan in that instant.
[Beautiful]!
It didn't seem like something that could exist in the real world; it was more like a figment of imagination.
No living being can resist it; the meaning of all living beings' existence lies in pursuing what they perceive as beauty!
At this moment, Mu Hongyuan represents the pinnacle of beauty, the ultimate destination for all beings' obsessions.
The world was deathly silent, holding its breath, watching with fervent, obsessive intensity.
The next instant, a burst of pitch-black flames suddenly erupted from Yun Xiaoxiao's dormant Consciousness Entity, silently engulfing the Judgment platform.
Mu Hongyuan moved swiftly and stood beside the Judgment platform.
She's safe.
Countless eyes in the world followed her, as if waiting for her to be redeemed in her Fate.
The Black Flames did not return to Yun Xiaoxiao's sealed Consciousness Entity; instead, they dissipated on the spot, and she committed suicide.
This is Back Door pre-set by this wisp of Heartfire, which even the automatic program inside the Heartfire cannot change. Once this situation is detected, it will dissipate on its own.
From an extraordinary perspective, Mu Hongyuan's beauty stats weren't enough to ignite Su Luo's Heartfire, but what just appeared wasn't just a matter of stats.
Therefore, this Origin Heartfire could not possibly return to Su Luo's soul carrying her worship of Mu Hongyuan.
Tens of millions of Saint prostrated themselves at Mu Hongyuan's feet, as if they were venerating a New Life God.
They spontaneously embraced the exquisite Divinity that New Life before them, regarding Mu Hongyuan as a newly ascended supreme God.
Ansen stood there, stunned, his gaze fixed on Mu Hongyuan, watching as the ethereal beauty that seemed to transcend reality slowly faded away, leaving only an otherworldly, breathtaking beauty that could crush the world.
Mu Hongyuan put on the veil, the Fairy Tale came to Endgame, and the princess was rescued.
Ansen's aura began to intensify, but he ignored this and asked instead:
"Was the [God] possessed by the Two Principles Daojun of the previous era?"
This result is not difficult to predict; in fact, it is quite obvious. Survivor lived to Chaos dawn of time in the previous era should have been able to deduce it.
The identity of a powerful being in the world has been taken over by a Survivor.
However, it's unknown who he replaced in the first era, in the Second Era he replaced the Two Principles Daojun, and in this era he replaced a [God].
The Gods of this era are more unique than those of the previous two eras.
He is eternal and possesses immense power.
Perhaps... it's because of its 30 Attributes; it's in an extremely mysterious state, possibly reaching the power ceiling of Large Dungeon.
If you successfully possess someone, it will be very difficult to play, since most Survivors, even Essence fully unlocked, only have Attributes at the level of thirteen or Fourteenth Rings, with only slightly higher actual combat power.
Mu Hongyuan nodded slightly, tacitly acknowledging his guess.
"Is it possible to forcibly possess any powerful being, or to directly Lock-On the strongest being in that environment and replace them after entering a specific environment?"
Ansen swallowed hard; he suspected that the Survivor had possessed the Two Principles Daojun was not so simple.
He might be Rainbow Badge, or he might be Gold Badge with exceptionally extraordinary Talent; in any case, he's extremely troublesome.
Mu Hongyuan knew more about the other party, and that information came from Scholars.
Scholars often share information, but this is generally based on the trustworthiness and competence of the other party.
For example, Yun Xiaoxiao does know a lot of things, but her strength is relatively weak, so she cannot know many important real-time information in the Dungeon.
Mu Hongyuan raised his eyes and looked at the sacred Great Throne floating high in the sky.
The God's enormous body sat Jingjing atop it, eyes closed, breath held deep, maintaining its ancient, slumbering posture.
After assessing the time in his mind, Mu Hongyuan turned to look at Ansen and began to speak:
"In this Large Dungeon, there are probably many Survivor have fought against the Survivors corresponding to the Two Principles Daojun."
"But in our eyes, he only has this one record of interacting with Scholars at the end of the last era."
Ansen knew, of course.
The Scholar twisted off the head of the Two Principles Daojun and watched in the Chaos as the heavily injured Demon King walked up from the lower world. Then came the battle between the remaining Survivors.
The various Survivors are at a loss with each other.
Mu Hongyuan nodded. "Then why didn't the Scholar kill him, but merely carried his head?"
