Zuo Xiaonian was shocked. She turned around and her sword was already in her hand.
Zuo Xiaoduo turned around slowly as if he was not surprised at all. He looked at the person in front of him leisurely.
The person was dressed in a green Daoist robe. Although he was just standing there, he seemed to be one with heaven and earth.
No, it should not be as if he was one with heaven and earth, but as if he was one with heaven and earth, sharing the breath of the sun and the moon!
He was the wind, the clouds, the flowers, and the trees. He was everything between heaven and earth!
There was no difference between him and nature anymore. Moreover, the Daoist Rhymes that flowed around his body made people feel lost or enlightened when they looked at him.
Zuo Xiaoduo bowed slightly and asked, "Dao Ancestor?"
The young Daoist nodded with a smile. "Little friend, you don't have to be so polite."
Zuo Xiaonian also bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Dao Ancestor Hong Jun."
"Hey, phoenix girl, you don't have to be so polite …"
The Dao Ancestor smiled faintly and said, "The so-called Hong Jun … is just a level, not a name. The so-called One Qi Into Hong Jun is just a creation of the descendants. You can call me … Senior."
Zuo Xiaoduo giggled and said: "As the saying goes, Hongjun comes first and Heaven comes second. Senior, you're even before Heaven and Earth, suppressing the universe and creating a new world. Just this achievement alone is worthy of our respect."
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun said, "That's not right. Who can be before Heaven? The so-called opening of Heaven is just opening up a small world in the universe. "
"Moreover, Heaven was never opened by me. I was just a cultivator who merged with the Great Dao due to fate and could no longer transcend."
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun looked at Zuo Xiaoduo with a complicated look in his eyes. He said softly, "The so-called opening of a world … is more of a manifestation of one's thoughts … Since ancient times, many Gods of Creation have been free and unfettered between heaven and earth …"
"A world from nothing needs a God of Creation to give birth to a world. Only then there is electricity, light, and the subsequent myths and legends …"
Zuo Xiaoduo said, "Then what's going on with our world?"
"The ancestral land world we're standing on is a barren land … We don't know when this world came into existence, so it's hard to investigate. Who was the one who created this barren land … is even more unknown. "
"The only thing I know is that an almighty created this world by chance. However, I don't know if it was intentional or not, but this world didn't evolve completely and left early."
"Until the Primordial World gave birth to life on its own … and we were the first living beings of this world …"
"At that time, the Pangu God's strength had reached a certain level, and he was determined to split the heavens and the earth apart. Only then did the heavens and the earth of this world begin to separate. As the saying goes, only when the heavens and the earth are created can one be enlightened …"
"On the other hand, the cultivation methods of all living beings were scattered into the world after I fused with the Great Dao. Each of the 3,000 Great Daos evolved on their own based on the laws of fate and creation …"
Dao Ancestor Hongjun smiled faintly. "Therefore, this world is an incomplete world. Compared to the independent space that those almighties opened up with their own strength, created living beings, and set the rules of the world … there's a fundamental difference. "
Although Zuo Xiaoduo's strength was tyrannical and had reached the peak of this world, when it came to experience and knowledge, he was still very shallow. Naturally, he had never heard of such a lofty argument.
An incomplete world?!
There was a fundamental difference with the existence of other worlds!?
Zuo Xiaoduo thought of his own Void Extermination Pagoda. After comparing the two, he understood a little.
Perhaps in this world, no one could understand the profound meaning of these words better than Zuo Xiaoduo.
Because in his hands, there was an incomplete world that was about to be formed.
"I see. This is the truth of this world." Zuo Xiaoduo suddenly understood.
With a thought from the Dao Ancestor, this place became a paradise. Birds chirped, flowers bloomed, white clouds floated, and rare beasts appeared. In the misty clouds, a tea table was placed in front of the three of them.
"Little friend, come and have some tea."
"I was just about to disturb the Dao Ancestor."
Speaking of disturbing, it was appropriate. Because in this world, anywhere could be said to be a guest in the Dao Ancestor's house.
Being in harmony with heaven and earth, sharing the breath of the sun and moon, was not just a saying!
"Last time, little friend, you said that you wanted to talk to me."
The Dao Ancestor sat down with a smile.
"Little friend, you're already a great fated person with a new world. Since you invited me, I naturally have to come and meet you."
When it came to the main topic, Zuo Xiaoduo sat upright and said, "I'm confused and puzzled. What's the true meaning behind the Dao Ancestor's instigation of this war?"
The Dao Ancestor smiled faintly and said, "After the war, I also asked myself this question."
"Then what's your answer?"
"My body has transformed into the Great Dao. Originally, I shouldn't have any meaningless thoughts, but I didn't expect that I couldn't avoid it after all."
"So?"
"I ask myself, I've been in charge of this world for countless periods. I thought that the Great Dao was heartless. Life and death, heaven and earth turning upside down, and the vicissitudes of life were just a game in my eyes. It passed by in the blink of an eye."
"The so-called genius experts, the so-called children of destiny, the so-called legends, the so-called nobles, generals, and ministers, the so-called hegemony of a thousand years … Everything is a meeting of the wind and the clouds. In the end, it's still a pile of yellow soil. It's just a blink of an eye, and it's over."
"However, this Clear Heavenly Tribulation has caused my heart lake to be turbulent, and it's no longer calm."
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun was very calm when he talked about these things, including what he had done. His words were full of calmness.
He did not hide the distracting thoughts in his heart at all.
At his level, everything no longer mattered. Naturally, there was no need for any dressing up. He was frank and straightforward.
"I wonder if there's any obsession in the Dao Ancestor's heart?" Zuo Xiaoduo sensitively noticed this.
"Obsession …"
The Dao Ancestor raised his head slightly and looked at the void with empty eyes. After a while, he said, "In this world, ever since I merged with the Heavenly Dao, I have set up six Saints as the pillars of the world. They each suppress the destiny and support the world … There's no need to list my past achievements in detail."
"In an incomplete world, I have no idea. Only by merging with the Dao can I maintain the integrity of the world and create all living beings. The evolution of all races is endless."
"Why did this Clear Heavenly Tribulation let everyone go but only restrained me? How unfair is that?"
"Outside the world, there's another world. Above the starry sky, there's a universe."
"Those who transcend can roam the world and obtain freedom. However, what about those who can't transcend?"
"Transforming into the Heavenly Dao is indeed a great mercy and a great wish … However, this world is like an ordinary person's courtyard to me …"
The Dao Ancestor smiled bitterly. "Little friend, do you know how it feels to be trapped in your own courtyard for the rest of your life and not be able to take a step out?"
Zuo Xiaoduo sighed.
"If I can't go out, it's fine. It's not impossible to be content with a corner and enjoy myself. Unfortunately … that's not the case."
"Under the Clear Heavenly Tribulation, even the Saints of the past were able to transcend. In the future, all living beings will be able to transcend if their strength reaches the level of transcendence … Only I can only wait here bitterly and watch as many living beings transcend one by one and obtain freedom."
"As for me, I can only stay in this place forever and look at the sky from the bottom of a well."
The Dao Ancestor smiled bitterly. "With my cultivation level and the accumulation of countless years, this should not be the case. However, when it comes to it, I still feel indignant. It's this indignance that caused the calamity that you saw."
"With your cultivation level, it's only a matter of time before you transcend. At that time, perhaps you will be able to understand my confusion. I don't dare to."
"Mental imbalance is one of the reasons."
Zuo Xiaoduo nodded and did not say anything. He could understand that feeling.
"I'd like to hear the second reason."
Zuo Xiaoduo said.
"As for the second reason, it's … the general trend."
The Tao Ancestor said blandly, "This time, the Heavenly Tribulation came suddenly, and the true meaning of it is to eliminate all the unstable things. In the future, only one clan will be left, and it will be the constant dominator. And this world, under the continuous infusion of the pure fate of only one clan, will slowly reach a perfect state."
"That's fate."
"Once the world is perfect, I will be separated from the Great Dao. At that time, I will have the opportunity to transcend. That's inevitable. This is also a path of transcendence that the Dao Brother who set up the Heavenly Tribulation left for me. "
Zuo Xiaoduo could not help but be confused. "Since the Dao Ancestor knows this, it's not that I don't have the opportunity to transcend. I'm no longer like before … But why … still …"
The Dao Ancestor said calmly, "Because this is … an opportunity given by an outsider. It's not an opportunity that I obtained with my own strength! In other words, if I can change the outcome of the Clear Heavenly Tribulation with my own strength, the world will be perfectly balanced … At that time, the opportunity to transcend that I have won will be half a step ahead. "
"Perhaps you don't care about this slight advantage, young friend, but to me, it's extremely important. There's nothing more I can do."
Hearing that, Zuo Xiaoduo understood completely!
As a proud ruler of the world, facing a terrifying opponent who he did not know the depth of, the sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart was naturally very uncomfortable.
Whether it was out of pride, out of rebellious mentality, or simply unwilling to accept this person's kindness, once he accepted it, he would form karma. Especially karma of this level, it could be said to be extremely terrifying.
Under any kind of mentality, it would cause him to feel inferior to this person at any time in the future.
For the Dao Ancestor who boasted that he had reached the state of mind of the Great Dao, it would be an irreparable shortcoming.
But in this world, or in this game, using a method that did not change the final outcome to change the outcome of a foregone conclusion … In some ways, it was a victory.
And for such a powerful existence, his layout was broken by me and changed the outcome. It was not just half a step ahead, but half a step ahead of the heavens!
I just didn't want to embarrass him too much, so I didn't completely change the final outcome. The final fate filled the Heavenly Dao, and I was finally free. That was also because of my own efforts, not because of other reasons.
It was I who decided which race would be the ruler, and they would become the rulers, the protagonists of the world. Then, the future prosperity of this race would all come from my thoughts.
In other words, one's life would still be controlled by oneself.
It would not be like before, where one could not control one's own fate and was at the mercy of others.
The entire outcome did not change substantially for this world — Wu people were the rulers, the demon race was the ruler, or the human race was the ruler. In the end, it was still the creatures on this continent who became the rulers.
It did not matter.
However, to Dao Ancestor Hong Jun, it had a very different meaning. His mental state was no longer lacking!
"I see. That's the truth."
Zuo Xiaoduo said calmly, "The Dao Ancestor might not care, but your casual change has caused the entire world to be plunged into misery and suffering."
The Dao Ancestor's expression turned slightly gloomy, but he immediately said, "Little friend, your cultivation level has reached the peak and you are about to transcend. However, you have yet to experience the endless years … Do you know that after I transformed into the Great Dao, there were hundreds of Yuanhui … monitoring the world for a long time?"
"During that period of time, living beings could act according to instinct. However, if any living being did anything evil … divine lightning would descend from the sky and punish them."
"I transformed into thousands of incarnations and walked in the world. Countless Dao manuals and books were all written by me …"
"However … after countless years … I will still be tired. Then, I will feel that everything in the world is tasteless."
"No matter how exciting a life is, no matter how stunning a person is, it will only shine in front of my eyes. How long can it exist?"
"In the blink of an eye, the living beings in this world have already changed several times … All the faces, all the dynasties, all the mountains and rivers … are there any differences in my eyes …"
"Gradually, even if she was a peerless hero, a peerless beauty … in my eyes, she wasn't even a tiny wave in the vast ocean … She wasn't even worth it."
The Dao Ancestor's voice was very indifferent. "The so-called Great Dao is heartless … It slowly evolved from that time. How can it be just words?"
"For example, with your current cultivation level, even if you don't take a step forward, you are already able to live as long as the world and as old as the sun and moon … Have you ever thought about all your neighbors … the ordinary people in your so-called city, what will happen to them in your long years?"
"Can you remember all the people you've met? Can you change your emotions for the joy and sorrow of everyone around you? "
"Perhaps you can do it now, but what about thousands of years later? What about 100,000 years later? A million years later? What about after a long time? "
"I can't do it! No matter what, I can't do it. "
"The Great Dao is heartless. It's an inevitable outcome. The end of cultivators …"
"I can understand your anger now because the people who died were people you were familiar with and had interacted with … However, after a period of time, when you think about it again, it's just a thought. You can't remember the faces of those people …"
"However, to me …"
There was bitterness in the Dao Ancestor's eyes. "It's just a passing cloud … Moreover, it's a batch of clouds … There's no emotional fluctuation at all."
The bitterness in his eyes was real.
Zuo Xiaoduo could tell that.
That was because he was very envious of that feeling.
"I really want to have your sadness, helplessness, and grievance again. That way, I will be very gratified, because that way … I can still feel that I'm a human, and not just a so-called … Great Dao without any emotions."
"You still don't know this kind of numbness. This is the saddest thing in life!"
Zuo Xiaoduo was speechless.
He wanted to persuade him.
However, after those words, he realized that he could not persuade him.
He had originally thought that he would transcend in the end. The outside world was huge and he would be free from then on. Why bother about the outcome here?
As long as you don't care, the matters in this world will be easy to resolve.
But now, he was speechless.
"Perhaps we can't understand your heartlessness and numbness, but you used your heartlessness and numbness to create pain and sadness for a lover … Don't you feel that it's a little immoral?"
Zuo Xiaonian said calmly, "So what if I'm like an ant? Who in this world has the obligation to give up their lives in vain for the victory of others? "
"I feel that you're wrong now."
Zuo Xiaonian said.
The Dao Ancestor nodded slowly. "You're right. What I'm doing now is indeed wrong."
"Then you …"
"However, I still have to walk on this path and can't turn back."
"The true Great Dao is in front of me. I've already worked hard for tens of billions of years to walk out. Now, even if I'm wrong … I have to fight for the outcome of this battle."
Zuo Xiaonian also felt helpless.
Zuo Xiaoduo took a deep breath and said, "I thought of something."
The Dao Ancestor smiled and said, "When the reason is different, use your fists to solve it?"
"That's right!"
"I have the same intention. Reason can't change the real outcome, but victory and defeat can!"
"And the two of you are the eyes of this game."
"If the two of you disappear, this game … I will win without fighting!"
Zuo Xiaoduo said slowly, "Dao Ancestor, are you going to attack the two of us?"
The Dao Ancestor said indifferently, "I believe you're already prepared?"
Zuo Xiaoduo took a deep breath and said, "Of course I'm prepared. This Asura World is indeed suitable for a big battle! "
The Dao Ancestor smiled.
Zuo Xiaoduo opened the Void Extermination Pagoda.
Zuo Changlu, his wife, Li Chenglong, and all the other members of the team except for Li Changming appeared at the same time. Then, Demon Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Demon Empress Xi He, Demon Master Kun Peng, Zu Wu, The Flood Witch, Great Fire Witch, Great Ice Witch, Great Dan Kong, Great Poison Witch, and Chan Sheng …
All the top combat forces in the current world.
They gathered here at the same time!
There were a total of 36 people!
After everyone appeared, their expressions were complicated. They bowed at the same time. "Greetings, Dao Ancestor."
"No need to be so polite."
"After this battle, the continent will be peaceful. Everyone, take care! "
"Yes."
The Dao Ancestor smiled. Nether River Patriarch and Demon Ancestor Rahu appeared at the same time.
"It's a little early for you all to start this final battle."
"It's a little early. It's inevitable that you'll be at a disadvantage. Unfortunately, you won't give us any more time."
"It's useless to say more."
"Dao Ancestor is right. Reason can't change the real outcome, but victory and defeat can!"
Countless Dharma treasures were activated at the same time!
"The outcome of this battle will be the future!"
