However, as time continued to pass by and the clones reincarnated, hundreds, thousands, and even tens of thousands of years would pass by. No matter how much desire they had, they would eventually be exhausted.
Vulgar pleasures were no longer something they were interested in, or rather, they were sick of. Therefore, they gradually set their sights on higher-level pursuits.
This was a very natural process. It was just like how when ordinary people became rich, they would eat, drink, and play. However, when they reached the age of 40, 50, and 60, most of these rich people would have other pursuits.
However, money could not be compared to celestial arts, and the lifespan of ordinary people could not be compared to that of immortals and Buddhas.
Therefore, after Tathagata and Taishang Laojun passed the stage of squandering wealth, power, and power, their sights were more focused on higher-level goals that were more illusory to ordinary people.
Who am I? Where am I from? Where am I going?
Ordinary people would not be concerned about such questions. Even if they were concerned, most of them would just be sentimental and emotional.
However, would it be emotional for Tathagata and Taishang Laojun to be concerned about such questions? Of course not. They really wanted to know.
The world was very big to ordinary people. However, to existences like Tathagata, who could see through the Three Realms and Six Paths with his Heavenly Eye, there was nowhere in the world that he could not see.
Tens of thousands of years ago, Taishang Laojun and Tathagata had already discovered that after reaching their level, their powers were still increasing, but their realms could no longer be increased.
Then, was this the limit? Was this the entire world?
Were they able to go one step further? Other than their world, were there other worlds out there? What were the higher realms in cultivation?
Until the sudden appearance of Zuo Qingcang, who had unprecedented powers and knowledge, allowed them to see the possibility of a breakthrough.
Looking at the two of them who seemed to be deep in thought, Zuo Qingcang knew that there was no need to hide too much. He nodded and said, "It's useless to say more. Then, let me demonstrate."
At the next moment, the Zuo Qingcang in the void space suddenly shattered, turning into streams of black torrents that gushed toward the two of them.
"This?"
"What happened?"
Of course, Tathagata and Taishang Laojun were not surprised by the shattering of Zuo Qingcang, but by the fact that there were some abnormalities in their memories. No, it should be that there were contradictions in their memories.
…
100 years ago.
In the Tushita Palace, the Grand Supreme Elder, who was refining Golden Pills, suddenly opened his eyes. He saw Zuo Qingcang reaching out to touch the Pill Furnace and leaving behind a faint smile.
"Master?"
On Spirited Mountain, Tathagata, who was lecturing on Buddhism, suddenly narrowed his eyes and saw Zuo Qingcang looking at him with a faint smile at the bottom of the crowd.
"Teacher?"
Five hundred years ago, Sun Wukong encountered a mutant in the depths of the East Sea. He drifted on the sea for seven years and finally met a black-robed Daoist.
"Teacher, can you teach me the method of immortality?"
Zuo Qingcang threw him an indifferent glance and said, "Finish reading 'Dragon Ball', 'One Punch Man', 'One Piece', 'Grim Reaper', 'Naruto', and 'Hunter'. In addition to these two university physics books, I'll teach you a 'Six Desires Demonic Chapters'. It'll be enough for you to dominate the world."
"Thank you, Master." The Monkey King was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him.
"I am not your master. Remember, no matter who asks you, don't reveal my identity."
1,000 years ago, the Grand Supreme Elder and Zuo Qingcang went through Hangu Pass together. The pass commander, Yin Xi, taught him the Five Thousand Words of Virtue and the Wave-Particle Dual Phase Method, becoming a sage of the generation.
5,000 years ago, during the war between Zhou and Shang, Ji Fa was hunted down by King Zhou. When he passed by a cliff, he met a mutant in black who taught him the Divine Level Martial Art, Book of the Chaos, and defeated the army of King Zhou of Shang.
Countless years ago, there was a surge of green gas in the chaos. It entered the world, but it passed through the ears of people. It dispersed into Qi and condensed into Taishang Laojun. He often discussed Dao with a black-robed man in Kunlun.
In India, Tathagata gave birth to the Crown Prince, who was carried by the Four Heavenly Kings. Zuo Qingcang, who was wearing a black robe, stepped out of the void and received the Crown Prince in his Heavenly Robe. At this time, the Crown Prince faced the four directions and took seven steps, saying, "In the heavens and under the earth, only I am supreme."
With a boom, as if a bolt of lightning flashed across the sea of consciousness, Tathagata and Taishang Laojun woke up together.
They looked at Zuo Qingcang in front of them and instantly had a feeling of extreme distortion.
"You … What did you do?" Taishang Laojun's mind was churning violently. At his level, of course, he knew that the other party's method was not an illusion, brainwashing, or memory modification.
It was his memory, or rather the past, that had really changed.
The past had been changed. This was a very strange feeling. It was like you had a childhood friend in your memory, but on your eighteenth birthday, he suddenly told you that today was the first day you knew him. He had returned to the past to become good friends with you.
It might be acceptable from a rational point of view, but it was hard to understand emotionally.
Tathagata and Taishang Laojun had the same feeling now. In their memory, Zuo Qingcang was a powerful existence that was already alive before they were born. But today, he suddenly disguised himself as a demon king from another world, fought, communicated for a few days, and made a bet. He suddenly tore off his mask and revealed their teacher's identity. Then he told them that the past had been changed, and that they had only known each other recently.
The twisted feeling filled their hearts. However, their standards were very high. Although they felt uncomfortable, they quickly controlled their emotions and suppressed the uncomfortable feeling.
When Zuo Qingcang heard Taishang Laojun's question, he said, "This is one of the things that you've always wanted to do. It's also a realm that you've been unable to break through. Changing the past and traveling to the future."
'But that's only for you guys,' Zuo Qingcang said calmly in his heart. To Tathagata and Tathagata, changing the past was almost impossible. But to Zuo Qingcang, it was not that difficult or exaggerated.
However, for now, he could only add variables to the past and not modify it, much less delete it.
He slowly judged, 'It's similar to the virtual world of supercomputers, but the degree of simulation here is too high. Even I can't tell the difference between the real world and here from the data.'
However, he was not born in this world, so he was not restricted by this world like Tathagata and Tathagata. With the quantum channel, he could transmit information and energy through the quantum transmission gate. After spending some time, he still understood the differences between the two worlds.
'Although it's similar, it's not a real virtual world.'
He had thought that this world was a pure virtual world like The Matrix, and that he had been tampered with when he entered.
This was verified when he tried to search for Tathagata and Tathagata's true bodies. He discovered that he could directly find the corresponding world through quantum transmission and make physical modifications.
To Tathagata and Tathagata, directly modifying the information and data was equivalent to changing the past and revising the timeline.
'To them, the timeline has changed. But to me, has the timeline changed?' Zuo Qingcang shook his head. He knew that now was not the time to think about this.
It was because when he was modifying their source files, he had discovered another point. He could only add variables and not modify them, much less delete them.
After going a little deeper into his research, he tore off the veil of the so-called virtual world.
This world was not a real virtual world. It was because it was both real and fake.
