Above the Dinsion Space.
Duncan began to create a soul using the mories he extracted, an authority belonging to the Divine Spirit, a certain power to create a Prayer and Otherworld Divine Attendant under the Divine Country system.
"This soul I create will think it is , who accidentally crossed over at the age of twenty."
"He will awaken his past life mories bit by bit as he grows."
"And at the age of eighteen, he will fully realize that he has reincarnated into an Otherworld."
Duncan’s voice carried a hint of cold indifference, as he gazed at the Three Corpses before him and said slowly, "You’re also a part of . Whatever you wish to impart to him, infuse it into his soul."
"I know you possess so Divine Power."
This is the cycle of endless reincarnation.
But in essence, it is rather cruel.
Buddhism speaks of reincarnation, a saying that the Buddha practiced through many lifetis in the cycle, experiencing various life forms from animals to humans, from paupers to kings, and finally attaining enlightennt. Similarly, within the stories of the Jade Emperor, there are claims of enduring nurous tribulations.
With Duncan’s current position, he understands these very clearly, that essentially, these are different selves, who through life’s experiences, absorb nourishnt and ultimately reach a higher state of mind.
When one’s existence and stature are high enough, one does not need the Divine Soul to reincarnate but can use a strand of consciousness to cycle through lifetis.
This process is equivalent to painting anew on a blank canvas.
However, at the final mont of ’awakening,’ that lifeti of mine also becos the nourishnt for my true self.
The Divine Spirit in heaven lets the true self reside in the divine position, while a strand of the consciousness cycles through lifetis, and upon awakening, fully assimilates the experiences of being a Mortal in that life.
There’s a TV show called "Journey to the West Sequel," where the Buddha’s reincarnated spirit, Qiao Ling’Er, at the mont of becoming the Tathagata Buddha again, all the experiences of this Mortal life were completely assimilated by the more powerful Buddha persona.
The stronger Duncan becos, the more he realizes the importance of the true self.
A personality can be split—when soone has a ntal illness and develops two different personalities, isn’t the second personality still a part of them?
The Buddha reincarnated over five hundred tis.
Each of these carries more than five hundred different personality mories, so who is primary and who is secondary?
The one with the highest position, the strongest capabilities, and the most intact self is the true Buddha, while all the 499 reincarnations’ mories and personalities serve as nourishnt for the true self.
Kill yourself, and I will be just one.
Therefore, among the Three Corpses, the self-corpse is the most challenging to deal with.
Duncan possesses a strong desire for absolute control, thus he cannot tolerate self-division. This cycle of reincarnation was to fulfill a pact with the Three Corpses, and also in the process of digesting the self, the Three Corpses understand very clearly that they can only beco a part of Duncan, with no other choice.
Why is it that when so immortals experience countless reincarnations, the experiences of their mortal life bear no influence on their elevated divine consciousness?
The reason is precisely this.
The personality of that life is assimilated, leaving only the mory and experience for the original self to read.
This thod of practice essentially turns oneself into a tool as well.
Soone awakens past life mories, as if gaining an entire lifeti of experience, with the past life becoming nourishnt.
Others awaken past life mories, and it’s as if they have been possessed, rendering this life into rely an experience.
Even.
Through the cycle of suffering, the strongest self is the true self, and all the other selves are nourishnt.
(Buddha: Only the strongest self can achieve enlightennt.)
It is for this reason that Duncan’s Three Corpses appeared.
The Jade Emperor Daoist Monarch stole heavenly fortune, using a trace of Heavenly Dao Law to plot against Duncan, setting a trap for him. However, because Duncan was incarnated into a Human Form, which can be changed at any ti, the Heavenly Dao Law descended the calamity onto a wisp of Duncan’s primordial spirit, hence giving birth to the obsession-like Three Corpses, capable of returning to the dinsion level.
In essence, this ans when Duncan entered the real world, the primordial spirit was perated by Law, and a part of the self, the humane aspect, negative emotions, the past self, etc., were activated into an obsession.
To put it even more bluntly, he fell victim to the Eastern spell ’ntal splintering-obsession.’
However, due to the uniqueness of the Eastern plane, it evolved into the Three Corpses.
This bizarre thod of attack.
If it were in the Western world, probably only a powerful enough Cthulhu deity could do it, striking directly at soone causing them to develop a ntal splintering, erging two personalities within self-awareness, with negative emotions evolving into a secondary personality.
But Duncan’s original self’s position is too high, so even if the obsession evolves into the Three Corpses, it is suppressed heavily by Dinsion Space.
Ultimately, after all the intricacies, the Jade Emperor Daoist Monarch rely caused Duncan minor trouble.
The reason Duncan doesn’t kill the Three Corpses is precisely like this; killing them would harm his humanity. It’s like Western surgery, where you cut out the diseased part. The humane aspect negative emotions beco the Three Corpses, so you just surgically remove them.
"If I liken everything about my crossing over to a past life, then the Three Corpses are the manifestation of my past life mories."
My past life’s mistake beca a split personality.
Certainly, one must find a way to assimilate and rge it.
Rather than directly kill it.
It’s fortunate that Duncan doesn’t practice the reincarnation Dharma Gate, as dealing with a massive pile of past lives is indeed quite troubleso for him. But in the East, there truly is the Dharma Gate for experiencing calamities and reincarnation, with each life stronger than the last, eventually nine reincarnations and unifying through tribulations.
While Duncan was comprehending the differences in law between Eastern and Western power systems, the Three Corpses had already injected a part of the self into the recreated soul.
