Jiang Nan climbed up the platform again and faced the Immortal Emperor's projection. He bowed and said: "Your Majesty, can you answer my question this time? You and the Immortal Sovereign had different ideals, but your friendship was very deep. There shouldn't be a need to fight and take each other's lives. Why did you and the Immortal Sovereign both die? "
The two sat on the ground. The Immortal Emperor smiled: "Under normal circumstances, the Immortal Sovereign and I wouldn't have used our killer moves and taken each other's lives. But at that time, we both encountered a problem that we couldn't solve. Dao Brother Green Lotus and I wanted to create a perfect world where the three thousand immortal daos wouldn't decline and wouldn't be destroyed by the nirvanic tribulation. But later, we discovered that no matter how perfect the three thousand immortal daos were, when the nirvanic tribulation arrived, the three thousand immortal daos would still decline from their glory and collapse. The immortal dao era would still end. "
Jiang Nan's hair stood on end: "The Immortal Dao Era is a golden age. Many reincarnated dao monarchs said that this might be a golden age where the Nirvana tribulation would never arrive. How could it fall into Nirvana …"
"There is life and there is death, this is the law of the universe."
The Immortal Emperor was very calm: "Dao Brother Green Lotus and I divined the future again and again and found that the Nirvana tribulation would eventually come and destroy the Immortal Dao Era. Thus, we thought of many strategies and divined the future possibilities, but we were still stumped. We were trapped by this unprecedented problem, so I wanted to return to the universe we came from and ask my father. "
Immortal Emperor's father was the most powerful and evil existence in the Immortal Sovereign's words. That existence stood at the end of the grand dao. Be it the Immortal Sovereign, Immortal Emperor, or even Daoist Bukong, they all regarded him as the end of the grand dao.
The Immortal Emperor thought of his father and wanted to go back and ask him to solve this problem.
With that existence's vision and knowledge, he might be able to solve the immortal dao's inevitable Nirvana tribulation.
However, this was strongly opposed by the Immortal Sovereign.
Immortal Venerable said that his father, that existence, was filled with an incomparably strong desire to destroy and create. If that existence came to this universe, he would definitely destroy the entire universe, bury all the ancient and fascinating history of this universe, destroy all the prehistoric existences, and destroy all the civilizations in the long river of history. Then, he would boldly and decisively open up a new universe, and according to his own ideas, he would make the new universe look like what he wanted!
If he failed, he would once again turn the universe into chaos and reopen the heavens and redo experiments. He wouldn't pity any life in the Immortal Dao Era!
He was full of energy. In the face of such a strange universe, the strong desire to destroy and create in the heart of that existence would urge him to split open the sky again and again, to destroy the world again and again, to pursue the ultimate mystery of avoiding the extinction of the universe with great enthusiasm.
The Venerable Immortal believed that the arrival of that existence would be a calamity for the Immortal Dao Era that had yet to flourish. In the face of this incomparably evil existence, the Immortal Dao had no right to choose and would be completely erased!
Any living being from the Age of the Immortal Dao no longer had the right to choose for themselves. Before that existence, they would be wiped away like dust.
The Immortal Emperor was silent for a moment and suddenly smiled. "Dao Brother Green Lotus is right. My father was indeed such an existence. However, at that time, Dao Brother Green Lotus and I were stuck with a difficult problem, so I said that I would go back to see my father and ask him for advice, but I wouldn't bring him here. Dao Brother Green Lotus didn't allow it, saying that it was too dangerous. Thus, he broke my gourd and turned the conflict of ideas into a battle. This was the cause of our deaths, but it wasn't the direct cause of our deaths. "
Jiang Nan couldn't help but shiver. After hearing the Immortal Emperor's description, an incomparably powerful and evil shadow appeared in his mind. It stood at the end of the grand dao. Its evil shrouded the eras of this universe and drowned everyone in its shadow!
Immortal Emperor's father was such an existence … Immortal Sovereign Green Lotus didn't do anything wrong. It was too dangerous to invite that existence. If it were me, I wouldn't invite such an evil existence to interfere with the development of the immortal dao and the universe, he thought.
The Immortal Emperor said leisurely, "The direct cause of our fall was that we found a way to prevent the Nirvana Calamity from ever coming. So, Dao Brother Green Lotus and I smiled at each other and sacrificed ourselves."
Jiang Nan was startled. "Sacrificed ourselves? What's going on? What method did you think of to prevent the Nirvana Calamity from ever coming? "
"That's the next question."
The Immortal Emperor smiled. "Dao Friend Dijiang, we've tested our dao, dao hearts, and nascent spirits in the previous trials. Now, let's compare treasures."
Jiang Nan summoned the Mantras Celestial Bell and smiled. "Are we competing with connate treasures? I'm poor and don't have as many connate treasures as Your Majesty. I'm afraid I'll lose. "
The Immortal Emperor shook his head. "Let's compare refining treasures. Take a look! "
An auspicious cloud appeared on top of his head with pearls hanging down from it. There were images of innate magical treasures floating within it. He said with a smile, "The so-called innate supreme treasures are also made by humans. There are a few connate treasures in the Hall of Daolord, left behind by their predecessors. They're formed from corporeal bodies and can fix the Hall of Daolord at the end of time. Even the Nirvana Calamity can't reach there and destroy it. This auspicious cloud of mine is a connate treasure I refined and has the same effect. This auspicious cloud is enough to prevent me from being annihilated by the Nirvana Calamity. "
His auspicious cloud was only a shadow, a projection of the real one.
Jiang Nan was deep in thought as a reed appeared above his head.
Two hundred years later, Jiang Nan walked out of the altar and walked toward the river of time in the Era of Giant Spirits.
"You're weaker than the last chaos year. Are you desperate?"
Daoist Terminator's voice came. "You weren't this weak back then. Even though you were far weaker than me back then, you had some ability. But now, you're so weak … What kind of ability is peeping at me from a dark corner? Come out, I'll let you experience ten million different ways of dying! "
Jiang Nan used five hundred years to walk through the Era of Giant Spirits and come to the origin of this era, the Nirvana Heavenly Fire. Immortal Venerable Qing Lian's projection sat on the high platform, waiting for his arrival.
"Daoist Dijiang." Immortal Venerable Qing Lian greeted.
Jiang Nan returned the greeting. "Immortal Venerable."
Immortal Venerable smiled. "Let's have a Dao debate in this round. If you lose, you'll have to return home. If you win, I'll consider it as you passing …"
Suddenly, Jiang Nan's body swayed, and his muscles bulged. His corporeal body expanded rapidly, and a Ten Thousand Curses Heaven Bell flew out from between his brows. Then, an unbelievably strong dragon flew out, and Daoist Bukong's corporeal body leaped out.
Before the projection of the Senior Immortal could react, he saw three incomparably sturdy fellows pushing forward. Without any explanation, they knocked the old man to the ground, crushed him, rushed over the high platform, and swaggered away.
Immortal Venerable Qing Lian's projection got trampled by the three fellows. After a while, he got up and looked back. He saw that Jiang Nan had kept the dragon, Bu Kong's body, and Ten Thousand Curses Heaven Bell. He had already rushed into the Sandgate era's River of Time.
"Dijiang didn't fall for the trap. I won't stop him in the next round … "Immortal Venerable shook his head. He was surprisingly good-tempered and didn't get angry.
"Bastard, you're here again!"
In the Nirvana Tribulation of the Sandgate era, Daoist Terminator was furious. "I've never met someone as shameless as you. If you want to fight, then fight. Do you think I'm afraid of you? Come out, I'll change my surname to yours if I don't kill you! "
Jiang Nan used 400 years to go through the Sandgate era. He came to the high platform and saw Immortal Emperor. He smiled. "Your Majesty, can you answer my question now?"
Immortal Emperor sat at the center of the high platform with fragrant tea in front of him. He invited him to take a seat and smiled. "When I was fighting with Daoist Brother Qing Lian, I suddenly thought of an idea to prevent the Nirvana Tribulation from coming. The Nirvana Tribulation comes because of the laws of the universe's birth and death. This law is the golden age of an era, when the Great Dao develops to its peak. After the peak, it starts to decline and decay. It's a cycle of 5.6 billion years, so the Nirvana Tribulation comes once every 5.6 billion years. What if there's a Great Dao that's always developing and changing? What would happen then? "
Jiang Nan's eyes lit up. "If the Immortal Dao is always developing and changing, then the Nirvana Tribulation will never come!"
Immortal Emperor clapped and praised. "Daoist Brother Qing Lian and I thought of this and felt that we solved the problem that had been troubling us for a long time! Another problem followed, and that was how to keep the Immortal Dao forever changing and never stagnating. One person's wisdom is limited, but if we gather the wisdom of all the wisest existences in all the prehistoric eras, then it's possible! "
Jiang Nan nodded. "That's why the prehistoric Daoists had to reincarnate and enter the Immortal Realm to become a part of it, to contribute to the development of the Immortal Dao."
The immortal emperor smiled: "If Daoist Greenlotus and I were still alive, I'm afraid those prehistoric dao monarchs wouldn't want to reincarnate. But if we die, they'll have a chance to enter the immortal realm and become a part of it. That's why we died. As for the stubborn ones, we left behind a backup plan to break the No Man's Realm and force them to reincarnate. "
Many of Jiang Nan's questions were answered, but he suddenly frowned and said: "Where was the battlefield? The Immortal Emperor never answered this question. Also, since the two of you have fallen, where are your corpses?"
Immortal Emperor smiled. "The next test. Daoist Dijiang, let's compare our physiques today. "
Two hundred years later, Jiang Nan left the platform and set foot on the river of time in the Age of Saints.
"It's been nine chaos years. You've studied me for nine chaos years. Are you looking for my weakness? Hahaha, I have no weakness to speak of! "Daoist Terminus said.
Jiang Nan had spent more than four hundred years in the Divine Dao Era to study this incomparably magnificent era. He had seen Wanxiang Daofather's first life. At that time, Wanxiang Daofather was the Tianbao Saint. He was peerless in talent and had raised and educated all living beings. Tianxi Saint was his junior brother.
Jiang Nan walked to the origin of the Age of Saints and a dragon flew out from his brow. His Immortal Body leaped out and the Mantras Celestial Bell hung high in the air as he killed his way to the platform amidst the Nirvanic Fire.
There was no one on the platform. Jiang Nan couldn't help but be astonished. Without thinking too much, he rushed over the platform and ran toward the vampire era.
This was the Age of Blood Ancestor's birth, an age of bloodthirst. The study of bloodlines was also at its peak!
"Haha, here you go again. You've been hiding in a hole like a mouse and spying on me for eight chaos years, but you still don't dare to make a move? You must be in despair, right? "
Daoist Terminus laughed. "As long as you don't come out, you'll continue to despair. Your despair will never end, because no matter how long you hide, all the eras will be destroyed by me!"
