Just as Shiheng was shopping and scanning goods as he pleased, the eyes of the entire bustling street were almost all quietly focused on the two of them.
Life God Realm has always been peaceful and quiet, and those who come and go are gods who abide by their true intentions and devote themselves to the Tao. Over hundreds of millions of years, all living beings have polished Laws and refined Divine Position is the only pursuit, and they look down on the glitz of external objects. These shops that sell ornamental treasures often find it difficult to sell a single item for ten thousand years, and few gods are willing to spend Precious God Coins on objects that are not helpful for cultivation.
In the eyes of all the gods, Shiheng, the top Highgod with a profound aura and terrifying coercion, has an extremely unusual style of acting.
Ordinary Highgod, sitting on endless wealth, will only collect Laws rare objects, Divine Soul treasures, and spiritual roots of heaven and earth to consolidate Laws, break through the shackles. But Shiheng puts the cart before the horse, spending a lot of divine coins on ornamental treasures that are flashy and have no use for practice. He behaves casually and flamboyantly, and completely lacks the calm pattern of a top powerhouse.
A series of obscure spiritual thoughts swept over him gently, with surprise and confusion, but no one dared to have any malice.
This is the Life God Realm, Overgod iron law, and all disputes are forbidden in the city. In addition, the Highgod pressure faintly overflowing from Shiheng is enough to frighten all the creatures in the entire long street. Even if everyone is full of curiosity, they only dare to look far away and dare not get closer.
Shiheng is completely unaware of this, or simply doesn't care.
The opinions of others, the pattern of strong men, and the character of gods were all forgotten by him at this moment.
The reason that drives him to keep shopping is not just to make up for the regret of poverty in his previous life.
The mortal memory buried deep in the soul affects him all the time like a brand. In his previous life, he was trapped in daily necessities, money, and food, and he was very stretched. He calculated everything carefully and suppressed even the smallest desires. That long-term poverty and restraint are still dormant in Divine Soul, urging him to spend as much as he can.
But in addition, there is still a heavy sadness in my heart.
In order to protect him, Kailin sacrificed Supreme Elves Bloodline and Divine Soul, leaving only a spiritual cocoon. This pain of separation is still lingering in my heart.
On the battlefield, he could kill enemies with a sword and vent his emotions through fighting. But when he stepped into this forbidden Life God City, there were no enemies to conquer, and boundless sadness began to surge. He could only rely on constantly selecting and buying treasures one after another. In this way, he numbed his mind and temporarily suppressed the heart-wrenching regret.
Half of this retaliatory consumption is to compensate the struggling mortal in the previous life. The other half is Shiheng's own spiritual salvation in this life.
Only in the process of continuously selecting treasures and putting objects into the storage ring can the emptiness and sadness of losing a close friend be temporarily covered up.
Today he is not doing it for practice, not for chance, not for Great Way.
Not only to please my humble self, but also to find an outlet to put away the bitterness brought about by Kailin's death.
After collecting the last box of brilliant diamonds, Shiheng casually put all the treasures into the storage ring. His movements were free and easy, without any intention of cherishing money. He turned to look at Sailiya, who was quietly following beside him, and his eyes swept over her cold and beautiful face.
The peerless God of War, who has been practicing hard for hundreds of millions of years since he was born, now has soft eyebrows and eyes, less fierce than in the past when he was bloody and killing, and a little more gentle like the fireworks of the city.
Along the way, she stayed by his side in silence, neither urging nor puzzling, but quietly watching him spend his money and do as he pleased. Sailiya could vaguely sense that underneath Shiheng's seemingly fanatical desire to buy, there was a layer of unspeakable and heavy sadness, and the novelty and empathy in his eyes became increasingly intense.
"Would you like to pick out a few too?"
Shiheng spoke softly, his tone was relaxed and gentle, but if you listened carefully, there was still a hint of unnoticeable fatigue.
"This Divine City has countless treasures and all things are prosperous. You have worked hard for hundreds of millions of years, but you have never seen it properly or owned it properly. There is no need to be rigid about Great Way today, just take it if you like it."
Sailiya was slightly startled, and a trace of confusion flashed in his clear eyes.
Hundreds of millions of years of practice have engraved it into her bones. For her, everything in the world can only be divided into strengths and weaknesses, pros and cons.
If the treasure is beneficial to spiritual practice, then keep it; if it is not beneficial to Laws, then discard it.
She has never had the thought of "liking" or "pleasing herself" in her life. Fighting, tempering, and becoming stronger are all that she has never changed. Prosperity, enjoyment, and doing whatever she wants, these words were far more unfamiliar to her than Laws Mysteries and Plane battles.
Looking at the dazzling array of ornaments, spiritual jades, exotic flowers, and fairy brocades on the long street, Sailiya gently shook his head, then nodded slightly, and his cold voice was gentle and light:
"I don't understand this and have never been involved in it."
She raised her eyes and looked at the prosperity everywhere, with a hint of relief in her eyes. "After hundreds of millions of years of hard work, I have long been accustomed to abandoning glitz and only clinging to Great Way. But when I saw you like this today, I realized that practice is not necessarily just hard work and killing. Occasionally indulging in prosperity and doing whatever you want is also your true intention."
Dao Heart that has been tense for hundreds of millions of years, in this peaceful Life God City, in front of Shiheng's obsession to transcend reincarnation, a gentle gap quietly opens.
She has always believed that cultivation means cutting off distracting thoughts, abandoning desires, practicing hard day and night, and never letting up.
But now she understood that the real Great Way was never a paranoid ascetic, but one that followed one's true heart and was worthy of oneself.
Suppressing desires, restraining one's nature, and being patient all one's life may not be the way; doing one's will, not being ashamed of the past, and perfecting one's original mind are also practices.
"Since you don't understand, just pick slowly."
Shiheng smiled faintly, took her step forward, and slowly walked towards the elegant shop selling God Realm accessories and spiritual flowers.
Unlike those spiritual treasures that are often priced at sky-high prices, what this shop sells are all elegant and commonplace items that are unique to the Life God Realm.
The immortal jade that has been condensed for thousands of years, the immortal God Realm fairy flower, the flowing nebula accessories, and the warm and flawless divine silk brocade, none of them have the effect of increasing the cultivation level and tempering Divine Soul, and none of them are conducive to Laws's improvement.
Their only purpose is to be beautiful, elegant, and pleasing to the heart.
This is a shop that God Realm gods rarely pay attention to, but it is the ultimate beauty that all mortal beings dream of.
Sailiya let him hold her wrist, walking softly, and a strange feeling felt in her cold heart that she had never felt before.
After hundreds of millions of years of fighting, she fought with people, competed with the strong, and lived with the desolation. Her physical body had been broken and reorganized tens of millions of times, and her divine body was stronger than Divine Weapon. No one had ever dared to treat her so gently, and no one had ever allowed her to let go of all her sharpness and experience a moment of tenderness.
Shiheng glanced at the elegant treasures on the shop floor, and still chose them casually, regardless of condition or price.
He took off a spiritual jade hairpin that was warm and transparent, lingering with the soft light of life all year round. The jade body was flowing with a faint green halo. It was condensed from the unique origin of the Life God Realm. It contained no power, only gentleness.
He raised his hand and gently inserted the hosta into Sailiya's snow-white hair.
The green hair hanging down and the jade hairpins embellishment instantly diluted the ever-lasting murderous fierceness on her body, making her gentle and graceful eyebrows and peerless fairy posture, losing the edge of the God of War, and adding a bit of agility of the most beautiful person in the world.
"Very nice."
Shiheng smiled calmly, but the smile did not completely fall into his eyes.
In his previous life as a mortal, he was limited by financial constraints and never bought any exquisite ornaments for his family or the people around him. All he could think about was survival and burden.
When he comes to Divine Position in this life, he not only wants to make up for his regrets, but also wants to be kind to everyone around him who accompanies him on his bloody journey.
Sailiya raised his hand and gently touched the warm jade in his hair. His fingertips moved slightly, and his heart felt warm.
Without Divine Power fluctuations, without Laws blessing, it would be of no benefit to her practice. But this simple hosta gave her Dao Heart, which had been cold and lonely for hundreds of millions of years, an unprecedented warmth.
"Thank you."
She whispered softly, her voice as soft as the wind.
No need to kill, no need to become stronger, no need to shoulder endless missions.
At this moment, she is just an ordinary creature enjoying the scenery and getting things as she pleases, not a peerless strongman who conquers the heavens.
Shiheng felt a little relieved when he saw this, but did not stop.
He simply let go of his hands and feet and took Sailiya through the entire long street, starting a truly unscrupulous purchase. He kept raiding one store after another along the way.
The God Realm spiritual dew that nourishes the skin and calms the mind, the immortal plant of life that never withers, the dazzling accessories, the soft and flawless divine fabrics...
Everything that pleases the eyes and brings joy to the heart, no matter whether it is useful or not, or of high or low value, will be swept away.
Massive amounts of divine coins were consumed like water, and mountains of treasures of various colors poured into Shiheng's storage divine ring.
His storage space has long been filled with Divine Soul ultimate treasures, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and Divine Weapon divine armors. Now most of the free space is filled with these elegant treasures that are flashy and pleasing to the heart.
The gods coming and going looked more and more stunned.
They have seen the Highgod who denounced Fang Qiu and swept away the treasures, but they have never seen such a top-notch strongman who refuses to take the supreme Great Way treasures but indulges in mundane interests and covets flashy foreign objects.
But no one knows that Shiheng no longer cares about these worldly views.
People in the world cultivate God in order to transcend the mortal world, cut off the seven emotions, and have no sorrow or joy.
As for his spiritual cultivation, he has to carry the emotions and obsessions of two lives.
The mortal world in his previous life had restrained him for half his life, and in this life he witnessed the sacrifice and death of his best friend. Shopping brought a short-term sense of fulfillment, while healing the scars left by long-term deprivation in the previous life, while temporarily burying the great grief of losing Kailin. This was not only compensation for the previous life, but also Shiheng in this life, a difficult spiritual redemption.
Sailiya stood beside him quietly, his eyes gentle and caring.
Looking at the young man's free and easy back, she vaguely understood the deep loneliness hidden under this carnival.
He is neither extravagant nor narrow-minded.
He just carries a mortal heart that has experienced suffering and poverty, and at the same time carries the pain of losing his best friend. On top of the eternal Divine Position, he heals his past self while comforting his broken heart at the moment.
Hundreds of millions of years of hard training are replaced by one day of relaxation, and half a lifetime of forbearance is replaced by one day of wantonness. But under this wantonness, there is unspeakable sadness.
Life God Realm The wind is warm, the city is full of flowers, there is no fighting, no disputes, and no danger.
Under the protection of the supreme iron law of Sovereign, this Divine City is gentle and tolerant, accepting all the original intentions and relief, as well as the sorrow that the strong do not want to show.
Shiheng stopped and stood in the middle of the long street. He raised his eyes and looked at the bustling city. A relieved smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but deep in his eyes, there was still a trace of lingering sadness.
The storage ring is full of treasures, including the supreme treasures that protect relatives and friends and strive for Great Way, and the flashy worldly things that please your true heart and fulfill your obsessions.
All the regrets of the previous life, spanning thousands of reincarnations, are compensated today.
But belonging to this life, the pain of losing Kailin can only be redeemed slowly through this prosperous feast.
