Chapter 44 - 33 Actually, My Name is Chen Yi
Here’s the translated text:
```html
The Five Decays of Celestial Beings.
Clothes become filthy, flowers on the head wither, sweat flows from the armpits, the body emits a foul odor, and one no longer delights in their seat.
The Buddhist scriptures explain that when a celestial being nears the end of its lifespan, these five signs of decline appear. Although the Asura are not celestial beings, they are similar, and thus the Five Decays of Celestial Beings manifest in them as well.
Furthermore, compared to celestial beings, the fate of the Asura after their decline is even more tragic. The vast majority fall into the Ghost Path due to their combative and sinful lives, becoming ghost kings who wreak havoc.
As for how Chen Yi came to know of these Buddhist concepts, the answer is simple—through the game encyclopedia of "Heavenly Realm."
"Heavenly Realm," in the pursuit of creating an authentic world, extensively researched various references. Beyond the three teachings and nine schools of thought, it even delved into the Zoroastrianism of the Western Regions, Nestorianism, the six heterodox schools of India, the Tan’gun traditions of Korea, and the Shinto Pure Land of the East. All this information was compiled into the colossal game encyclopedia.
After Chen Yi first cleared the game, he began reading the vast and varied entries in the encyclopedia in preparation for starting a new run, particularly scrutinizing content related to the early stages of the game, going through it two or three times.
He still remembered marveling at the encyclopedic detail back then, thinking, "This is so thorough it feels like such a world truly exists."
