"You didn't lie to me." After seriously staring at him for a moment, Wen Ce confirmed that he wasn't lying. He said, "It seems you are confident that you will always be different from us and not walk down our old path."
From this silent and taciturn young man in front of him, he could feel the shadow of his own hot-blooded youth.
For a time, a complex feeling filled his heart.
"I am indeed different from you." Fu Qingjun nodded. He drank his tea, a bit lacking in confidence. But, he didn't say anything. He also admired these past heroes and courageous individuals.
He also thoroughly understood.
As strong as Undying, Yuan Shou, and even this prehistoric existence in front of him, they all once had a selfless and selfless mentality. It was just that after the transformations of the universe and the cycles of reincarnation, they couldn't withstand it and walked towards destruction.
Perhaps this was a natural law to begin with?
Fu Qingjun suddenly whispered to himself, as if he had grasped onto something in the dark.
After all, ordinary humans only reached the peak of their creativity at 20 to 40 years of age. After the peak of their creativity passed, their entire being would decline. They would grow old and fear death, decay …
Wasn't it just these Empyreans?
It seemed as if Empyreans were the highest rulers of the universe, but in truth, on the level of the universe, Empyreans were no different from ants. They were all bacteria within the body.
At this moment, the ancient existence in front of them also smiled, "The universe does not have a consciousness, but it gives people a huge sense of terror. This natural environment has some kind of law, and mortals are trapped in it, unable to stop it."
"In reality, you only have two choices."
"The first is to dominate this era and eventually die of old age, dying along with this era.
"The second is to continue living and steal the rules and materials of the next universe. Then, you can use your body that has no talent or ability to open up new paths to sneak into the next universe. Then, you can occupy a seat and not do anything, instead dealing with other young Empyreans."
Wen Ce kindly explained, "I suggest you choose the second option. After all, as long as you continue living, you might be able to find a way to solve this cage. Then, you will truly be able to conquer the heavens!"
He paused for a moment. Then, in a voice filled with inexplicable emotions, he said, "I want this universe to no longer treat us as bacteria within its body. I want it to truly become our paradise, to be controlled by us. Humans can truly dominate this world."
The universe is dead.
He was clearly fighting with this dead thing. This dead thing clearly had no power to fight back, but it seemed to have no place to exert force. It was like a curse that could not find any way to escape its transformation and reincarnation.
It was obviously an inanimate object!
Fu Qingjun glanced at him and suddenly said, "This is also your hope for survival, right? You have certainly failed. The you from a few eras ago had undoubtedly failed miserably. You had killed your most important friends, but you realized that you were still enslaved and dominated by nature. The common people were merely her bacteria. That was why you had always wanted to live on, to fight against the heavens, to truly defeat it. Man can conquer nature … If you could completely break free from the cage of the universe and break through to a new realm, the you from that time would be cleansed of all the stains and sins of corruption. Instead, you would become the greatest hero of the era. "
"Yes, the winner takes all."
Wen Ce was also magnanimous. Looking at the endless stars in the sky, he said gently, "The sacrifices of the many eras of the universe, the fall of the common people, the fall of the Epoch Celestial Lords, their sacrifices are not meaningless. They are all paving the way for the dark dawn. As long as I obtain the final success, then everything they have sacrificed will be worth it."
"The universe only has the seventh rank, but I believe that the eighth rank exists. It requires many eras of the universe to explore. If it can be established, the universe will enter a whole new era."
Wen Ce quietly stared at Fu Qingjun and suddenly smiled. "I have already shouldered the lives of the common people for several eras of the universe. It is impossible for me to lose."
"I understand your intentions. Thank you for being so frank."
However, Fu Qingjun closed his eyes and suddenly said, "However, you have already decayed. You who do not have the ability to create, continuously walking towards the next era is like a curse. Isn't this the dark curse of the universe's resistance towards you?"
"It has made you shoulder a huge amount of karma. Perhaps you have long been bored to the point that you want to die. Dull, dry, and boring. Every minute and every second is torture to you. However, you are shouldering the lives of the many eras, making it impossible for you to turn back. You can only brace yourself and persevere. This huge sense of guilt …"
"This is unsolvable. No matter how long you live, you will not be able to find a solution because you no longer have the talent," said Fu Qingjun, saying a very cruel sentence.
Every living being had a peak period, a period when their talent was surging. However, as time passed, they would wither and age, no longer having the time when they were full of energy.
The person in front of him was just an old man who had lived for a few eras.
He was using all kinds of methods to maintain himself from dying. It was already extremely difficult for him to linger on in this world.
"No, I don't have the talent, but the common people do. That's enough." He smiled slightly and explained, "I only took away 30% of the rules in order to maintain the minimum level of not being overthrown. I want the geniuses of each era to accumulate again and again, to find a way to transcend 'Heaven' and enter the eighth stage."
Fu Qingjun was completely enlightened.
No wonder..,
No wonder he had always been hiding behind the scenes, hiding so deeply that the bottom could not be seen. He had also handed over most of the heaven-defying rules to the young people of this era, allowing them to have variables and deduce the era.
He could clearly cut off all the variables that were overthrown. With his strength, it was not difficult to secretly kill the Celestial Venerables one by one and seize their rules.
However, he did not.
He maintained 70% of the variables that could be overthrown by the common people, allowing Fu Qingjun to threaten him because of all kinds of coincidences. Was he stupid?
No..,
It was he who wanted variables, wanted to transcend this universe.
Since he wanted variables, he had to tolerate the possibility of him being overthrown. This was relative.
This universe was irreversible. It seemed to be controlled by the Celestial Venerables, changing the rules and developing at will, but the deeper he understood, the more he realized that there were some things that could not be changed.
If the universe was compared to a person.
Then the Celestial Venerables were the microorganisms in his body. These microorganisms could change this person's living habits, even his appearance and posture. It seemed to change all his life experiences, but did it really change?
This person would still be born, grow up, age, turn into a cocoon, and then give birth to the next generation. This was the true law of this person! They could not change this person's true law at all. What they could change was only the appearance.
The Heavenly Dao in the underworld, the supreme will of the universe, was controlling all the common people, all the bacteria in the body. No one could escape the cage of his universe era.
"The universe is really magical."
Fu Qingjun sighed in his heart and completely understood cause and effect. "He clearly has no self, but he is the greatest and most vast law of nature. It is still a long way for living beings to defeat him."
