The Truth About Evil Spirits

When he assumed the perspective of "Heaven," Shen Mo discovered that the will of "it"—or rather, the Heart of Heaven—was formed from the gathered thoughts of every living thing and object in the world.

It encompassed not only cultivators and sentient beings, but also flowers, grasses, plants, microbes, insects, and even mountains, rivers, sand, rubble, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and all things beneath heaven!

Living creatures needed to eat, drink, defecate, reproduce, and thrive.

All beings were the same. Even a single weed yearned for sunlight and rain, hoping to grow strong and lush;

Even a cluster of microbes needed nutrients and energy, hoping to scatter its colony across the world;

Even a grain of sand, a drop of rain, a river, a mountain peak, a cloud, or a breeze possessed its own unique thoughts. They were merely less intense and apparent than those of extraordinary creatures and other sentient beings!

All things formed the entire world;

The thoughts of all things gathered drop by drop, forming the "Heart of Heaven and Earth"—the "Heaven" of this world!

Though the thoughts of inanimate things such as sand, rainwater, mountains, and rivers were incomparably faint, their sheer numbers were overwhelming. Thus, they instead dominated the will of Heaven.

The thoughts of cultivators and extraordinary creatures accounted for less than one ten-thousandth of all living beings;
