"Imperial Lords, please bring the Moon Lord back to the Fire Cloud Cave to rest first. I'll pick her up later."
Li Changshou said in a low voice. Fuxi and Shennong, who were behind him, nodded slightly. Their figures merged into the Chaos aura and slowly disappeared.
They did not say anything, nor did they seem sad.
On the contrary, the two Imperial Lords felt relieved, as if they had completed some mission.
The Fire Emperor's life had been too tough.
"Senior Brother, are you coming?"
Li Changshou asked softly. He slowly stood up and carefully placed the ashes in his palm into a jade bottle before putting them into the depths of his treasure pouch.
Master Xuandu was puzzled. "Where are you going?"
Li Changshou looked up at the palace in front of him and whispered,
"Purple Cloud Palace."
"Do you need me to go with you?"
"It depends on what you think, Senior Brother." Li Changshou smiled bitterly. "Senior Brother, it's best if you don't come over. I want …"
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "Then I'll go with you."
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
The Great Daoist Master raised his hand and patted Li Changshou's shoulder. He said, "I don't know what you're thinking now. I don't want to ask. I'm afraid I won't know even if I ask. However, you have to try to get someone to help you share the burden."
Li Changshou nodded with a smile. He looked at the place where Suiren had disappeared and heaved a sigh of relief. He flew towards the Purple Cloud Palace not far away with the Great Daoist Master.
At that moment, the Purple Cloud Palace was rather quiet, as if nothing had happened.
The Dao Ancestor sat quietly in the deepest part of the hall. A peaceful aura floated around him, as if he had known that Li Changshou would come and was waiting quietly.
The Great Daoist Master took half a step forward and bowed with Li Changshou. He addressed him as Grandmaster.
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun nodded with a smile. His calm voice echoed throughout the hall.
"The Heavenly Dao gave birth to selfish thoughts because of the selfish desires of the human race. The human race used the will of the human race to seal this selfish thought. It contains the Great Dao of Karma."
Master Xuandu said, "Grandmaster, you are right."
"It must be fake."
Li Changshou said calmly.
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun frowned slightly. The Great Daoist Master turned to look at Li Changshou in shock.
The Great Daoist Master looked rather surprised, as if he was studying if Li Changshou had lost his soul.
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun asked, "What's fake?"
"The will of the Heavenly Dao," Li Changshou said calmly. "The Dao Ancestor once said that there is a remnant will of Pangu that needs me to suppress. Where is Pangu's will now?"
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun could not help but fall silent.
Li Changshou took two steps forward and said word by word,
"The Dao Ancestor has merged with the Heavenly Dao. The Dao Ancestor is the Heavenly Dao and is no longer a living being."
"The Heavenly Dao is an amalgamation of rules. Its own will is not similar to that of living beings. Living beings and the Heavenly Dao are unable to understand each other because there is a fundamental difference in the way they think and the space-time dimension is different. Therefore, to living beings, the Heavenly Dao does not have a will. The Heavenly Dao is nature.
After the Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao merged, the will that the Heavenly Dao gave birth to is only the Dao Ancestor's own will. "
"Dao Ancestor, why did the demons slaughter the human race in the ancient times? Why did they force the human race into a corner?
Where did the human race obtain the remnant soul of the Fiend Ancestor?
Apart from the two Saints of the Western Sect who went to repair the Western Sect, only the Dao Ancestor has the remnant soul of the Fiend Ancestor. "
"Dao Ancestor, what do you want?"
"It's because I obtained the wrong position. I plucked the Heavenly Dao Fruit left behind by the Pangu God and felt a little guilty. That's why I want to control everything."
Master Xuandu was a little stunned. He looked at his junior brother's back and suddenly understood why Li Changshou was slightly conflicted previously.
He wanted his senior brother to be a witness, but he did not want to drag him into the vortex.
Alright, I'm here to expose the Dao Ancestor's background.
The Great Daoist Master instantly reacted. He looked at the Dao Ancestor's helpless expression and immediately took half a step forward. He hurriedly said, "Grandmaster, is what Changshou said true?"
His expression was quite on point.
The Dao Ancestor sighed and said, "Changgeng and I seem to have a deep misunderstanding.
I can suppress the Primordial World with a flip of my hand. Why do I have to spend so much effort? "
"Dao Ancestor, suppress me."
Li Changshou looked up at the Dao Ancestor. "I was rude. Please punish me, Dao Ancestor."
"Changshou!" The Great Daoist Master stopped in front of Li Changshou and whispered, "Are you crazy or have you lost your mind? Grandmaster, don't blame me. My junior brother should have lost his Dao heart because Senior Suiren died in battle."
"Dao Ancestor, please punish me!"
Li Changshou shouted and looked at Dao Ancestor Hong Jun.
The Dao Ancestor sighed softly.
"The Dao Ancestor can't do it, right?"
Li Changshou raised his head and took a deep breath. "In order to suppress that senior, the Dao Ancestor paid too much. Instead of saying that the Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao joined forces, it would be better to say that the Dao Ancestor stole the Heavenly Dao and used the Primordial World to suppress that senior.
If the Heavenly Dao was a huge tree, the power of the six Saints would be the foundation. However, the Great Dao of the six Saints would be enough.
The Dao Ancestor became the trunk and grew the crown of the Celestial Court.
The Dao Ancestor could only use the power of the Heavenly Dao. He no longer had the Dao Realm or Dharma powers. Therefore, the Dao Ancestor could not kill me, right?
That was because the Heavenly Dao could not erase the greatest variable of an era.
In the Primordial World, the strongest living being is actually our teacher. Therefore, the Dao Ancestor did not care that Senior Suiren led the heroic spirits here because the power of the Heavenly Dao could suppress them.
However, when his teacher and his two Uncle-Masters came, the Dao Ancestor had no choice but to give in. Then, he took out the last will of the Pangu God that he had prepared and had been infected by his selfish desires.
From the beginning to the end.
The Great Tribulation was the Dao Ancestor.
My master, Qi Yuan, was burned to death. When I was recuperating in the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice, the one who looked at me was the Dao Ancestor.
The one who arranged everything in the Primordial World and threatened Saint Nuwa was also the Dao Ancestor.
The Heavenly Dao only has a will, the Dao Ancestor. "
There was silence in the Purple Cloud Palace.
The Dao Ancestor said slowly, "Do you really think so?"
Li Changshou's eyes were filled with indignation as he stared at the Dao Ancestor.
The Dao Ancestor asked, "Why would you rather believe a wanton Daoist who went to the Demon Court to steal someone than trust I?"
"I don't believe any of you!"
Li Changshou stared at the Dao Ancestor and sneered. "That senior's goal for pulling me to the Primordial World is self-evident.
The Dao Ancestor has given me many benefits and allowed me to have a smooth journey in the Heavenly Dao. His goal is not purely for the living beings of the world.
You are all scheming and surrounding the Primordial World for the legacy of the Pangu God.
The world ultimately belongs to all living beings. Whoever wants to control the world will become a puppet of the world.
I'm standing here now. The Dao Ancestor can take back the Heavenly Dao sequence and my authority. "
"Why bother?"
The Dao Ancestor sighed softly. "Changgeng, don't be so obsessed."
Li Changshou took a deep breath and bowed with his head lowered. "Today, I will still address the Dao Ancestor as Grandmaster. However, Grandmaster, I have made my bottom line clear today.
The human race, my relatives, and the Jade Emperor.
I will continue to preside over the Great Tribulation. I will continue to do what I should do.
The Heavenly Dao's selfish desires are not obvious. The Celestial Court will naturally prosper.
The order of the Celestial Court is a blueprint that I drew. If I rebel, the Primordial World will definitely collapse in an extremely short period of time and return to chaos.
If disciple has offended Grandmaster in any way today, I hope Grandmaster is magnanimous enough to forgive me. "
After saying that, Li Changshou bowed again and turned to walk towards the door of the Purple Cloud Palace.
Master Xuandu hurriedly bowed to the Dao Ancestor. "Grandmaster, don't take it to heart. Junior Brother is possessed."
Then, he hurriedly chased after Li Changshou.
What's wrong with Junior Brother?
It's too unstable to threaten the Dao Ancestor face to face!
Could it be that it's extremely stable?
After leaving the Purple Cloud Palace, the Great Daoist Master grabbed Li Changshou's arm and fled towards the Chaos Sea. The Dao runes of the Taiji Painting wrapped around the two of them and quickly left.
The Purple Cloud Palace was wrapped in lightning, like the wrath of the heavens.
When they flew out of the range of the Heavenly Dao's influence, Master Xuandu activated the power of the Taiji Painting and enveloped the two of them. He glared at Li Changshou.
"Are you crazy? What if Grandmaster really attacks!?!"
Li Changshou lowered his head and exhaled. Cold sweat seeped out of his back and forehead.
"I didn't attack."
Li Changshou muttered and looked down at his palm to calm his Dao heart.
Done.
The Great Daoist Master frowned and sized up Li Changshou for a while. He was puzzled. "What are you plotting?"
"The luck of the Primordial World."
Li Changshou smiled helplessly and made an inviting gesture to the Great Daoist Master. "We can't stay in the Chaos Sea for too long. Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao will tacitly agree that we are escaping the Great Tribulation. That will be really troublesome."
"Is what the three human emperors are trying their best to suppress really the last will of the Pangu God?"
"No, there was no last will of the Pangu God to begin with. The last will of the Pangu God was given to our teacher," Li Changshou said. "Otherwise, why would Teacher be trapped in the Primordial World? He would have left long ago."
The Great Daoist Master was confused. "What's going on?"
"It's a long story. I have to start a long time ago."
"Be concise." The Great Daoist Master hooked his left hand around Li Changshou's neck. "If you don't explain it clearly, how can I let you leave today? Don't tell me you don't even believe me? "
"How can I not believe you? Teacher and Senior Brother are the only things I can rely on. Moreover, everything I have now is the opportunity that Senior Brother gave me.
Teacher gave me the confidence to speak to the Dao Ancestor like that. "
Li Changshou sighed softly. "Senior Brother, do you still remember that Grandmaster left me behind when I first came to the Purple Cloud Palace?"
"Yes …"
"Grandmaster told me a story about the last will of the Pangu God."
Li Changshou said, "Senior Brother, you can understand it as Grandmaster guiding me patiently and constantly hinting at me to formulate a series of plans. He absorbed the variables in the world and made me the greatest variable.
I told Teacher about this, but Teacher did not care about it. That's because this is the rule of the Heavenly Dao, not Teacher's Dao. "
The Great Daoist Master smiled bitterly and said, "Our teacher doesn't care about anything."
"That's because Teacher represents the carefree nature of the Pangu God. Back then, the Pangu God could sacrifice himself to help all living beings …"
"Boss Tu is listening. Be careful when you speak!"
The Great Daoist Master grabbed Li Changshou forcefully. "Let's get down to business. What is the Dao Ancestor plotting?"
Li Changshou said, "The Dao Ancestor wants to establish the Celestial Court, strengthen the Heavenly Dao, suppress the six Saints, and suppress the power of living beings.
He had long schemed against the Goddess's Temple.
Also, it was not my order that Maitreya could not enter this world. The Jade Emperor could not do that either. Under normal circumstances, Maitreya and I could enter the world. The Jade Emperor and I could make the decision to send the Heavenly Punishment to him. We could not isolate him from the world.
It was our Grandmaster's scheme the entire time. "
"Why is that so?"
"I can't tell you the answer for the time being, Senior Brother," Li Changshou said seriously. "That's because I have to start from a very basic place. It's not good for your cultivation."
"Oh? Tell me about it. I'm considered one of the smarter ones among the first batch of humans. "
"The second law of thermodynamics. The entropy of an isolated system will not decrease."
The Great Daoist Master was rendered speechless.
"Let's talk about schemes. Did the Dao Ancestor plot against Suiren Fire Emperor?"
"Yes," Li Changshou said. "The Dao Ancestor is protecting a Great Tribulation script. Why does he want to protect this script?
There are two answers. Firstly, the script itself matches the Dao Ancestor's expectations. Secondly, the Dao Ancestor has already made too many arrangements according to the script.
The Dao Ancestor should have been doing it since ancient times. "
Master Xuandu pondered for a while and asked, "Why is that so?"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "That points to the most fundamental problem. What's the relationship between the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor?"
"What's the relationship?"
"I can't say." Li Changshou sighed and said, "That's because I'm not completely sure now. However, I've already said it in the Purple Cloud Palace about the relationship between the Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao that the Dao Ancestor wants me to believe.
Senior Suiren understood that. Therefore, he chose to die at the last moment to lower the Dao Ancestor's guard.
I did that in the Purple Cloud Palace just now to make Senior Suiren's death worthwhile. "
The Great Daoist Master was rendered speechless.
"You've really confused me."
The Great Daoist Master tried to organize his thoughts.
"It means that the Dao Ancestor used you to restrain the power of living beings. He had long prepared for the Goddess's Temple to directly interfere with the Human Emperor and insult the Goddess. He also used you to activate the foundation of the human race and consume that portion of the foundation.
Then, you and the Fire Emperor put on a show. The Fire Emperor was willing to die. You went to the Purple Cloud Palace to threaten the Dao Ancestor. That would make the Dao Ancestor feel that you're nothing much? Thus, he would dispel his guard against you? "
"Part of it is vigilance," Li Changshou said. "He and I are the same. We will never trust each other.
The gift that senior left for me was actually to let the Dao Ancestor step into the Heavenly Dao's trap. As a result, I have become a problem that the Dao Ancestor cannot kill directly.
However, the Dao Ancestor is holding onto my sore spot. Therefore, the Dao Ancestor feels that he will definitely win.
I have a way to break the situation and a few backup plans. However, it's too early to talk about winning now. "
"Yun Xiao and the others?"
"It's not just them. Senior Brother, you too."
Li Changshou took out a treasure pouch from his sleeve and smiled in embarrassment. He handed it to the Great Daoist Master.
"Senior Brother, it's not that I'm going overboard, this …"
"Doomsday Brocade Pouch, I understand. I've seen you give it to Ao Yi before."
The Great Daoist Master calmly took the treasure pouch and smiled. "Then I'll wait for your news in Xuandu City … We're almost at the edge of the Heavenly Dao."
Li Changshou looked back at the Chaos Sea and whispered,
"From now on, this game is no longer a victory between me and the Dao Ancestor."
"Oh? What's that? "
"Life and Heaven and Earth."
Li Changshou waved his finger gently and the Dao runes of the Taiji Painting slowly dissipated. The two of them returned to the world.
As they were about to part ways, the two of them began to show off their acting skills.
The Great Daoist Master wanted to return to Xuandu City from the Chaos Sea and meet up with Kong Xuan, who had been hiding previously. He reminded Li Changshou seriously,
"Junior Brother, you have to learn to control your anger and your emotions. How can you talk to Grandmaster like that?
You're disrespecting etiquette! "
Li Changshou's expression was gloomy, but he lowered his head and did not say anything. He cupped his hands at the Great Daoist Master and turned around to fly into the world. He did not cause any abnormalities.
The Great Daoist Master shook his head and turned to return to the Chaos Sea.
In the Purple Cloud Palace, the burly Lao Dao opened his eyes and suddenly said, "How much is real?"
Behind him, a gray figure slowly condensed and said, "30% is fake, 30% is real, and 40% can't be determined. However, the Torch Flame is on him."
"You shouldn't have lowered your head to Suiren and allowed him to obtain the power of the Torch Flame."
"The human race has won the world. The rules are limited. I have to follow the rules." The gray-robed Lao Dao sighed softly. "In the end, that fellow left behind such a huge problem."
The Dao Ancestor said calmly, "Fortunately, Li Changgeng feels that he was lured here.
Let him leave the Primordial World earlier. He's almost out of control. "
"The time is not right. The rules are not enough." The gray-robed Lao Dao shook his head. "I can't continue to appear. The Heavenly Shackles ultimately restrict my will.
If he suspects again, you and I … "
"Opposing."
In the Purple Cloud Palace, the Dao Ancestor and Lao Dao looked at each other and smiled. The latter's figure gradually dissipated, leaving the Dao Ancestor alone to sit there and ponder quietly.
…
Half a day later.
In the straw hut on Xiao Qiong Mount.
Li Changshou placed the wooden sign that he had carved on the desk in his straw hut. On the sign were the words "Suiren Venerable Position". Three incense sticks were lit in front of him.
Li Changshou first bowed with a Dao salute. Then, he lifted the hem of his Daoist robe and kowtowed three times to the memorial tablet. He quietly knelt on the ground and did not move.
In the depths of his Dao heart, beside Li Changshou's essence soul, the word "one" engraved on a stone tablet was slowly erased by him.
Sometimes, he could not tell the truth to people he trusted.
It was the same for his teacher and his senior brother. That was because most of the time, his way of thinking was different from theirs. If they could not understand each other, it would cause a certain hidden danger.
It was unstable.
His teacher said to let him live from death and fight for a chance of survival.
Actually, he had a comprehensive plan. There was no need to place his hopes on the aura of "Ah, justice will win".
The essence soul raised the brush and engraved another word on the stone tablet.
"Four."
Standing up, Li Changshou placed his hands behind his back and looked at Suiren's memorial tablet.
When did I get involved in these strange karma?
It was inevitable. That was decided by the uniqueness of his background. If he encountered the Heavenly Tribulation and was discovered by the Dao Ancestor, there would be a similar path. He did not want to be manipulated by the so-called fate, so he would naturally react.
It was just like a world. The disturbance at the beginning determined the appearance of the world at this moment.
However, that was not fate.
The so-called fate was nothing more than what the Heavenly Dao wanted living beings to believe.
The words on the Book of Life and Death were changing every moment. Everything was just a fixed number and variable increase. At the end of the day, it was just a mathematical problem.
Li Changshou slowly clenched his left fist and stood there in deep thought.
How should I continue to increase my chances of winning?
Indeed, the more I bear, the further I am from being carefree. Senior Suiren's last entrustment is really heavy.
However, no matter what, thank you.
Pioneers.
Since Changshou's life is no longer in danger, he will definitely not let down his predecessors.
