"Yes, the Shangqing Saint …"
The Qingping Sword Spirit smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet the Shangqing Saint at that time."
Tsing Hui looked at the Qingping Sword Spirit …
If he did not guess wrongly, the Qingping Sword should be the sword of the Shangqing Saint?
Why …
Why was he separated from the Shangqing Saint?
"Due to the battle at the boundary tablet pass, the Shangqing Saint lost all his disciples. However, the Dao Ancestor was unfair and disheartened. After being punished by the Dao Ancestor and sealed in the Sky Beyond Heaven, he simply left the Primordial World. When he was wandering in the Primordial World, he left the Primordial World by chance and entered the Chaos Void. He lost his way back in the Chaos Void. If we did not meet by chance later, the Shangqing Saint would have needed many years to return to the Primordial World … Naturally, there would not be a series of arrangements."
"Do you have any arrangements regarding the creation jade?"
The Qingping Sword Spirit nodded. "In fact, when the Shangqing Saint returned to the Primordial World and intervened in the battlefield, the defeat of our Immortal Dao civilization was already irreversible. The Saints had fallen. Even the great Dao Ancestor Hong Jun could not reverse the situation."
"The Saints have fallen?"
Tsing Hui frowned. "Have they really fallen? Didn't they say that the Saints and the Immortal Dao world coexist? As long as we can reignite the flames of the Immortal Dao civilization, the Saints will be able to return from death one day and be reborn. "
"That's true, but … the key to how to walk out of death and be reborn lies in the river of time of our Immortal Dao civilization. The true meaning of the Saints' immortality also comes from the river of time. The river of time is the best and greatest gift that the great Eternal Plate left for us descendants."
"The river of time?"
"That's right. The great Dao Ancestor controls the eternal power to awaken the fallen Saints from the river of time … This is also the reason why even if the Saints are not sleeping but have truly fallen, as long as the fire seed of the Immortal Dao civilization is not extinguished, the Saints of the Immortal Dao civilization will return from death one day …"
Tsing Hui was enlightened when he heard that.
At this moment, he already understood the greatness of ultimate eternity. As the river of time left behind by the Eternal Plate, it was not surprising that it had such an ability.
"Wait … you're saying … the Dao Ancestor can awaken the fallen Saints from the river of time? In other words, the Saints are completely immortal and indestructible. If they die, they can just return from the river of time. Then why … why were they defeated? "
The Qingping Sword Spirit glanced at Tsing Hui. "Shouldn't you understand this point?"
"I understand?"
"The price of manifesting the River of Time."
"The price …"
Tsing Hui immediately understood.
Manifesting the River of Time required a Saint to burn himself …
"How difficult is it to become a Saint? If the Immortal Dao Civilization was still complete, it would only take a few tens of thousands of years for a fallen Saint to regain his Sainthood. But without the support of the Immortal Dao Civilization, it would be extremely difficult for a fallen Saint to regain his Sainthood … "
The Qingping Sword Spirit said.
"Tens of thousands of years …"
Tsing Hui understood.
Under normal circumstances, tens of thousands of years was nothing to the great Saints. Perhaps they could rest for hundreds of millions of years.
However …
During the great war, countless top experts died at every moment. Even if the time axis of creation and chaos lifeforms was extremely long, tens of thousands of years was still enough for many things to happen.
In other words, the speed of the enemy's attack surpassed the speed at which they could revive and recover.
Under such circumstances, even with the River of Time, the Immortal Dao Civilization would still be defeated in the end.
"In addition, to activate the River of Time and revive someone from it, there's another prerequisite … it requires the power of the creation jade …"
"The creation jade?!"
The Qingping Sword Spirit nodded. "That's right! Compared to the long river of time, the Immortal Jade of Fate is equal to a key, a key that could bring people out of the long river of time. The one who holds this key is qualified to open the long river of time. Only then could he really revive people out of the long river of time … "
"But later … the creation jade shattered?"
"Yes."
The Qingping Sword Spirit said, "Due to various reasons, the creation jade itself was damaged. Even though it was repaired by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, it was not nourished by the power of the Immortal Dao Civilization, leaving behind hidden dangers. Like broken porcelain, no matter how well it was glued, the cracks could not be truly removed forever. Usually, these cracks did not seem to affect the Immortal Dao Civilization, but when the creation jade was frequently used, it finally became unable to bear the burden … Moreover, at that time, the Master of Chaos appeared out of nowhere and blocked all of our attacks. The Master of Gods and Master of Time led many creation and chaos lifeforms to attack with full force, tearing apart our Immortal Dao Civilization … Thus, the creation jade that was equivalent to our Immortal Dao Civilization's imperial jade seal … shattered …"
It had cracked …
The prelude to the Immortal Dao Civilization's defeat.
"Then, the creation jade that came after …"
"For our Immortal Dao Civilization to continue passing on and even reignite one day, we had to ensure three major factors. The first factor was the creation jade, the second factor was at least one Saint, and the last factor was that the Immortal Dao Civilization's flame could not be severed. Otherwise, without the Immortal Dao Civilization's worship, the creation jade would not be able to repair itself. Under such circumstances, the Prime Clear Saint, who knew that the situation was hopeless, found a piece of creation jade and found a place to create the Source World, ensuring that the Immortal Dao Civilization's flame would not be extinguished. However … one piece of creation jade was clearly not enough … the Prime Clear Saint vainly tried to find Dao Ancestor Hongjun and take away all of the creation jade … Unfortunately, by that time, we had already been completely defeated. Even the great Dao Ancestor …"
Hearing this, Tsing Hui's doubts were resolved.
All along, he had thought that the teleportation formation from the Divine Wilderness Great World to the Source World was set up by Dao Ancestor Hongjun. But now, it seemed that it was the Prime Clear Saint who had set it up.
However, this was not strange.
Among the many Saints of the Immortal Dao civilization, the Prime Clear Saint was the one who had the deepest understanding of formations. The famous Immortal Extermination Sword Formation and Ten Thousand Immortals Formation were the best examples.
"The situation back then was really terrible. Unfortunately, I was in the long river of time and could not escape. I was powerless and could only think of ways to send a message to the Prime Clear Saint … In the end, the Prime Clear Saint might or might not have known. Anyway, he used a different method to leave behind the spark of the Immortal Dao civilization and planted this spark on the Master of Chaos. He absorbed fuel from the Master of Chaos and turned it into the self-healing energy of the Creation Divine Jade …"
"A different method …"
Tsing Hui looked pensive. "You mean … the divine beast bloodline cultivation system?"
The Green Duckweed Sword Spirit nodded. "Although the Master of Chaos draped a layer of skin over the divine beast bloodline system, it is undeniable that these twelve bloodlines are the continuation of our Immortal Dao civilization. It is precisely because of the existence of these twelve bloodlines that the spark of the Immortal Dao civilization can continue to burn and give the Creation Divine Jade the ability to self-heal. This is also why the Creation Divine Jade was able to fuse into one immediately after you obtained the Creation Divine Jade fragment …"
"We have the Creation Divine Jade and the Immortal Dao Saint, and the spark of the Immortal Dao civilization has never been extinguished … Although our Immortal Dao civilization has experienced a great destruction and almost lost our inheritance, we can still welcome new life after the destruction."
There was a faint smile on the Green Duckweed Sword Spirit's face. "Now, what you need to do is borrow the power of the Creation Divine Jade to revive the fallen Saints in the long river of time … Then, take advantage of these million years of peace and develop an even more magnificent Immortal Dao civilization on the basis of the Master of Chaos' universe. I believe that after obtaining the universe of this great Chaos lifeform, our Immortal Dao civilization will definitely have more resources and give birth to more experts. With more experts, the shackles will be unlocked and the Saints of our Immortal Dao civilization will have hope to take another step forward. Perhaps one day in the future, someone will truly be able to catch up to the great Plate of Eternity and step into the ultimate eternity that symbolizes eternity."
"Then what about me … After I revive the Saints, how do I leave the long river of time?"
"The Fortune Jade is the key to everything. What you need to do now is to summon the power of the Fortune Jade and project it into the River of Time. It can resurrect the Saints, and it can also take you away from the River of Time … However, because your power has been exhausted the moment you manifested the River of Time, you will experience a cycle of reincarnation … Moreover, because your information will be washed away by the River of Time, this cycle of reincarnation will be incomparably thorough, and no information will be left behind …"
"Ascend to the Sainthood again? What if I can't ascend to the Sainthood again? "
The Green Duckweed Sword Spirit was taken aback. "How is that possible … You have the bearing of a Saint, and one who has cultivated to the fifth level of the Chaos Realm. It's just one cycle of reincarnation and won't affect you much. At least, I remember the few Saints who had reincarnated and cultivated anew. Their ascension to the Sainthood was smooth and uneventful."
Tsing Hui thought back to everything that had happened along the way and began to ask himself — could he really ascend to the Sainthood without any external help?
And the countless copies of himself he had seen in the parallel universes …
Tens of thousands of copies of himself had collapsed in the Saint Realm, Immortality Realm, and even the Mortal Realm.
If he collapsed halfway and was reincarnated again, would he still be himself at that time …?
Even if he ascended to the Sainthood again, all traces and information that belonged to him would have been washed away by the long river of time. Would he still be himself at that time?
Everything in the parallel universes was still vivid in his mind …
In some parallel universes, he had even personally killed Jiang Ningzhi, Bai Shuying, and the others in order to attain Dao …
For a moment, Tsing Hui couldn't help but fall silent.
"If … I don't want to return in such a way where I lose everything, what should I do?"
"If I don't want to reincarnate …"
The Green Duckweed Sword Spirit's expression was solemn. After a moment, he still looked towards the end of the Eternal Road.
If he didn't want to reincarnate …
There was only one way.
And that was …
To attain eternity.
