Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 1140 A Surge of Distracting Thoughts
The scene that appeared before Romantina's eyes was a bath, and the person that appeared was Zhou Qing, draped in a transparent veil, half-concealed and half-revealed, her smile and frowns naturally alluring.

It turned out to be a picture of Zhou Qing taking a bath.

"puff--"

Looking at Zhou Qing, who was waving at her as if he were having a good time, Romantina spat out a mouthful of saliva and said speechlessly, "Although I did think about this scene, my rational mind is very clear that he would never do something so fancy."

As soon as she finished speaking, she returned to reality.

Zhou Qing's cultivation was the most complete. His inner vision trembled slightly, and he regained his senses. However, his primordial spirit was filled with countless distracting thoughts, disturbing his mind.

"As expected of the Alaya consciousness, it is truly astonishing that it can cause me to have a multitude of distracting thoughts... to be filled with desires and thoughts, disturbing my mental clarity."

Having said that, he beckoned and took the severed arm of the Alaya-consciousness dragon into his inner vision, using it as a test subject.

The arm entered the inner realm, severing its connection with the outside world. Without the source of thought for the people of the Star Luo Empire, it immediately trembled.

The crystal-clear exterior gradually becomes dusty, and the vibrant consciousness slowly decays.

In the end, only a cluster of cells with relatively strong vitality remained.

The Alaya-consciousness dragon seemed to have noticed the changes in part of its body. Its massive body trembled, and all its thousands of eyes trembled in unison. It mobilized the energy of heaven and earth, guided the earth, water, wind, and fire, and condensed elemental waves, which poured out in all directions.

Zhou Qing threw a punch, Tang San raised his palm, Xiao Wu swung her leg, and Tina used her brain. The four of them used their inner vision to cover an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, not allowing a single cell of the Alaya consciousness dragon to slip away.

The Alaya-consciousness dragon, trapped in the inner landscape, had its cells trembling incessantly, with wisps of white energy emanating from and dissipating from its body.

Ultimately, just like the arm that Zhou Qing had absorbed into his inner vision, its extraordinary appearance had vanished, leaving only a mass of unconscious cells filled with a strange vitality.

"It seems Yu Xiaogang can't change back."

Dugu Bo, who arrived at the scene, witnessed the disappearance of the Alaya Consciousness Dragon. He lamented that the Alaya Consciousness Dragon, which could gather all mankind and assimilate the entire Douluo Star in the simulation, was powerless against someone with an inner vision. It truly proved the principle of mutual generation and restraint.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina all breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhou Qing frowned deeply. He thought that after dealing with the Alaya Consciousness Dragon, his primordial spirit would regain its clarity, but no matter how he tried to regulate it, his sea of ​​consciousness was still filled with all sorts of distracting thoughts.

Too much thinking and desire.

This is a characteristic of Zhou Qing, a modern time traveler.

It is precisely because he is good at thinking and has many desires that he was able to think about directions such as martial spirit cultivation, human body cultivation, regulating the human body and natural energy field, and envisioning inner landscapes, and realize them one by one.

But now?

This excessive thinking and desire was stirred up by the dragon of the Alaya consciousness, resulting in a multitude of distracting thoughts and a constant burst of various ideas and desires.

But it was just a thought, appearing and disappearing quickly, unable to affect the stability of the primordial spirit. However, this constant arising and annihilation did cause Zhou Qing some concern.

"what happened?"

Romantina and Zhou Qing possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and she immediately noticed Zhou Qing's silence.

Tang San was the second.

Xiao Wu again.

“I just had a lot of distracting thoughts for a while. It seems to be a side effect caused by the Alaya consciousness dragon targeting me.” Zhou Qing shook his head and indicated to everyone not to worry. “However, my primordial spirit is still clear, so it’s not a big problem. Perhaps it’s because the Alaya consciousness has temporarily returned to its formless and intangible state.” “Then let’s leave quickly.”

Tang San first left the territory of the Star Luo Empire.

Zhou Qing nodded; this was the only option left to try.

In an instant, everyone left the territory of the Star Luo Empire. Zhou Qing's primordial spirit was indeed cleared, and most of his distracting thoughts disappeared. With a strange expression, he said to everyone, "It seems that I have been marked by the Alaya consciousness of the Star Luo Empire."

"Solving this problem is actually not difficult; just let time take its course."

Xiao Wu chuckled and said quite easily, "The Star Luo Empire has lost its emperor and prime minister. Davis went to our country, and the second prince became a prince. He doesn't like fighting, so the Star Luo Empire is in internal strife. It's only a matter of time before it splits into several small countries. At that time, even if the Alaya consciousness still exists, it will be weakened to the extreme. It will even dissipate on its own without us having to do anything."

And indeed, as Xiao Wu said, within six months of the disappearance of the Evil Eye Saint King and the Golden Saint Dragon, the families and sects within the Star Luo Empire, who had been severely oppressed, began to carve up the Star Luo Empire.

The Haotian Sect also got involved and seized most of the Star Luo Empire's territory, with Tang Chen becoming the emperor of the Haotian Empire.

Gods must not interfere in human affairs.

Tang Chen broke this rule himself.

However, he also had reasons to convince himself: Douluo Star would be promoted to the God Realm in the future, and as a god, he could naturally act in the God Realm.

"Not rigid? That's not bad."

Zhou Qing was slightly surprised to learn that the Haotian Empire had been established within half a year, but he also knew that Tang Chen was not a pedantic person. The talents of the four races of strength, agility, defense, and destruction, as well as their respective strengths in forging, intelligence gathering, construction, and medicine, showed that Tang Chen had considered the path of seizing the world, conquering all people, and gathering faith to become a god at the beginning of the establishment of the Haotian Sect. However, he was worried that it would take too long, and even if he could wait, Poseidon could not. Therefore, he gave up halfway and went to find the place of divine inheritance, hoping to undergo divine examination and inherit the divine position.

Now, Tang Chen must know the main purpose of the God Realm using those thirty-six pillars of psychic power as bait. With the Star Luo Empire leaderless, he acted decisively, seizing most of the territory.

This is a perfectly normal operation.

Moreover, Tang Chen did not put all his eggs in one basket. He sent Tang Xiao, Tang Yuehua, and some of the Haotian disciples out to sea, both to search for the Heavenly Sacred Rift Halberd and to preserve a glimmer of hope for the Haotian disciples.

As the leader of a sect, Tang Chen is domineering and strategic, making him quite perfect.

Unfortunately--

Stubborn and self-willed.

His domineering nature allows him to accept new technologies that arise from the changing times, such as having his disciples research and develop soul tools. However, as proud as he is, he is also stubborn and will not change his belief that he has held for most of his life: the strong are respected.

As long as you are strong enough, everything you do is right!

However, for a country, it is indeed necessary to be tough on foreign affairs, and even "strength" and "power" are still the key to gaining respect and dominance.

However, internally, in terms of governance and management, an order based on the concept of "might makes right" is not feasible.

Admittedly, this can stimulate competition.

But if they cannot become the "protagonists", most people will be in a position of being oppressed. If the rulers cannot empathize with the largest number of people at the bottom, how can they expect them to empathize with the rulers?
But this method of governance isn't without its advantages—

At least the Alaya-vijnana (storehouse consciousness) gradually disappeared because Tang Chen abolished most of the measures the original Star Luo Empire used against its people...
