Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 522 Replacement

"Heh, don't think too much. I'm not asking you to accept or reject it now."

After casually throwing out the theory of inheritance, Wang Luo on the opposite side suddenly laughed.

"I made you the crown prince without any reason, not because I want you to give me any answer. I put forward the conclusion in advance just so that you can listen to me quietly and finish the story, instead of treating this conversation as a cat-and-mouse game with the advantage, and then desperately trying to find a way to die with me. For example, don't ask for help in the Ascension Record. Tianzun will not draw his bow and shoot me."

Wang Luo was silent for a moment, then he took back the Ascension Record from his sea of ​​consciousness, and then asked, "With your ability, there should be many ways for me to listen to your story quietly, right?"

Wang Luo on the opposite side nodded: "Yes, and being open and honest is one of them, and it is my favorite one. For you, at least at this time, there is no need for me to continue to hide the facts and be mysterious. So, if you are ready, nod your head, and then I will tell the story from the beginning and sort it all out for you. Well, I know you have guessed a lot of things, but it is definitely not as thorough as me telling the story from the beginning."

Wang Luo did not hesitate any more and nodded gently: "You can start now."

"The story begins before the catastrophe. At the end of the old immortal calendar, the gates to immortality opened up again and again on the Jiuzhou continent, allowing many practitioners to ascend to heaven, including our master Song Yijing... and even our senior sister Lu Zhiyao."

Wang Luo nodded again, indicating that he already knew about this matter.

So Wang Luo on the opposite side said: "But you should not know that the immortal gate was opened at that time because the Heavenly Court could not continue, and the old ancestor Chicheng was making his last struggle. He was not successful in opening up the Star Sea and the Heavenly Domain, and the way forward to the immortal world was almost cut off. And the immortal law without a way forward quickly decayed, so he had to introduce the mortals of Jiuzhou to ascend to immortality to neutralize it. You don’t need to understand this part too deeply, just remember the general conclusion. In short: at that time, the old ancestor Chicheng had foreseen that the immortal world would die, so he tried every possible way to save himself, and a large number of practitioners took that opportunity and luckily got the status of a true immortal in the last years of their lives... This includes me."

Wang Luo couldn't help showing a hint of surprise.

In his memory, he had never ascended to heaven, and knew nothing about the immortal world. From the time the immortal gate opened until the fall of the immortal world, he was sleeping in the Dingling Palace... Although he knew that this memory was probably fabricated by Lu Zhiyao, he never expected that it was fabricated out of thin air...

"Oh, it's right to be in seclusion in Dingling Palace. But from my seclusion to the collective ascension of Lingshan, and then to the fall of the Heavenly Palace, it was actually a long process that lasted for decades. With my talent and qualifications, as well as the unique cultivation environment of Lingshan, how could I not be able to break through the bottleneck of the Wanmiao Golden Pill for decades? Long before Senior Sister was led to ascend by the Immortal Sect, I had already cultivated the Wanmiao Golden Pill and broke through the barrier."

Wang Luo nodded again, but there was a hint of hesitation in his action.

Wang Luo on the opposite side smiled and said, "Don't think of the Wan Miao Jin Dan as a flaw. It was the wonder of the immortal way in the old immortal calendar era and is no longer applicable to the new era... In my opinion, it is not as good as the Yi Qing Yuan Ying in your body. Moreover, it was precisely because of this golden elixir that condensed the supreme wonderland of the old world that I chose to stand on the opposite side of Senior Sister at that time."

Wang Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, and the surprise in his heart began to overflow with words.

"Well, after I broke through the barrier and became a pill, my progress in cultivation did not slow down at all, and it continued to advance by leaps and bounds. Soon, I broke through the Nascent Soul and the Transformation of the Spirit realms. Then, as the gate to the immortal realm opened, I went through the purification of the immortal spirit with my senior sister, and became a rare flower who ascended to immortality before the fusion. However, of course, there is a price for being a rare flower. Although the cultivation of the peak of the Transformation of the Spirit can make one a hegemon in the mortal world, it has almost no breathing rights in the immortal world - the right to breathe in the literal sense. For me at that time, everything in the immortal world seemed too brilliant and too strong. Just to maintain survival, I had to go through the vicissitudes of life. 'Breathing', that is, the circulation of immortal essence in my body, requires me to do my best. So, after ascending, I was actually sent to the hospital for emergency treatment immediately. Haha, even after a thousand years, it is still a shameful black history. So, your memory of long-term seclusion and a thousand-year dream is not a big problem. Because in fact, it was during the process of seclusion and healing that I fell to the ground with the entire heaven, and was seriously injured and unconscious for a long time... Senior sister was stirring up the situation of heaven and earth with her own strength outside, and I was sleeping soundly all the time. "

Hearing this, Wang Luo couldn't help but slow down his breathing.

Because next, obviously, comes the key to the story.

Wang Luo on the opposite side said: "When I woke up, I saw a doomsday scene. Most of the immortals who took good care of me when I first ascended to heaven no longer exist. Those who survived by chance were divided into two factions, killing each other to death. Among them, the leader was my closest senior sister, and the ones who were killed were the immortals who treated me like their own children before I ascended to heaven... including the Bai family. I know Lu Zhiyao told you about the Bai family. Senior Sister Bai Cheng killed Song Yuan, which made the hatred between them almost impossible to resolve. But from my point of view, what I saw at that time was only a group of uncles and elders who regarded me as their closest relatives, who were killed or injured overnight. , one of the three great True Immortal families was expelled from the family. I will not judge whether what Senior Sister did at that time was right or not. I just want to tell you that after the heavenly tribulation, I was seriously injured. It was the Bai family who found me and spent the few remaining treasures of the Immortal Family to heal my wounds and prolong my life... Those old immortals really regarded me as one of the Bai family's own. And until the last moment, they did not consider using me as a hostage to threaten Lu Zhiyao. Instead, they sent me, who was seriously injured, to the Immortal Mansion Cave Heaven for careful protection. It was not until Senior Sister Bai Cheng's wedding night that the Bai family was no longer able to maintain the existence of the Immortal Mansion, and I finally woke up. At that time, I didn't know how to face Senior Sister. "

Wang Luo opened his mouth, but found that he really had nothing to say. "Well, don't force yourself to comment on anything. This is my experience, and I don't need anyone else to empathize with me. In short, my reunion with my senior sister was not a pleasant one. She never thought that I was still alive before, and she became so... cruel and ruthless to her old comrades after the catastrophe, which was more or less due to me. So, my "resurrection from the dead" was naturally not a piece of news that would make her happy immediately. Some things, once done, can never be turned back."

Wang Luo remained motionless and silent.

"I know you might want to blame the Bai family: since they were able to find me and save me in the first place, why didn't they tell Senior Sister? On the one hand, because Senior Sister had already started killing people at that time, many people thought she had gone crazy after the Immortal Law was broken; on the other hand, among the few surviving Golden Immortals of the Bai family, there happened to be one who was proficient in the art of pulling stars and great evolution. With the help of the power of the stars outside the domain, she calculated that after the heavenly tribulation, Senior Sister and I would be mortal enemies. So, before she saw the truth, she decided to hide me temporarily. And later, everything that happened later only strengthened her judgment."

At this point, Wang Luo on the opposite side also felt that the atmosphere was becoming too depressing, so he simply shrugged his shoulders in relief and said with a smile: "Ha, after all, it seems that it is all self-excusing words. For you who naturally stand on the side of the Immortal Alliance, it is a bit boring, so I will fast forward a bit and skip these trivialities that don’t matter if you don’t know. In short, for various reasons, after I woke up, when I stood in front of my senior sister for the first time, I parted ways with her. I took over the immortal law in my master's body and became the new Immortal King - yes, the new The leader of the Heavenly Court is called the Immortal King, which is so earthy that it is black, but for the surviving immortals who are dying out day by day, this almost primitive title can actually unite people's hearts. At the same time, a person who is not extremely powerful but happens to have a natural body of Taoism and can perfectly absorb the immortal law is also worthy of being followed by the survivors. Of course, there are inevitably some dirty political calculations behind this, but that is irrelevant. Without those calculations, it would be difficult for me to unite the immortals at that time and firmly block Senior Sister's plan to settle the wilderness from the right side of the sky. "

"You..." Wang Luo couldn't help but speak, but he only said one word and stopped.

Because, in fact, there is no need to say anything more. What happened later is partially recorded even in the general education textbooks that can be found everywhere in the Immortal Alliance.

In short, Lu Zhiyao's great cause of conquering the wasteland was not completed due to the appearance of her junior brother "Wang Luo". Although in the eyes of everyone in the world, Lu Zhiyao's leading mortals to fight against the immortals was an incredible feat. However, if no one had taken over the immortal law in Song Yijing's body at that time, then the battle of conquering the wasteland more than 1,200 years ago could have completely exterminated the immortals.

"Haha." Wang Luo on the opposite side smiled, "Since then, we have become each other's eyesores. Although we have different personalities, we are equally stubborn in our hearts. We will stick to what we have decided to the end no matter what. Therefore, all the affection accumulated over the past hundred years disappeared in an instant. After that, we spent hundreds of years trying every possible way to kill each other... Because the so-called dispute between the Heavenly Court and the Immortal Alliance is not only a dispute between civilizations, but also a dispute between individuals. These two organizations, two civilizations, in their infancy, are essentially just extensions of me and my senior sister. As long as the core people can be eliminated, no matter how majestic and prosperous the civilization is, it will collapse."

After a pause, Wang Luo's smile opposite him showed a little more relief.

"Then, judging from the results, Senior Sister is still more skilled. I am almost exhausted now... As for how Senior Sister killed me, you should be able to guess some of it, but let's not play guessing games and reveal the answer directly. In short, she used the power of the Heavenly Dao to create a brand new 'Wang Luo' to cannibalize and replace me, the old Wang Luo. I can slowly tell you the specific principles later, but now you just need to remember the conclusion. In terms of the results, you can be regarded as her weapon to kill me... Oh, don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you because of this, or rather, I can't do anything to you at all. The moment you woke up in the Dingling Palace, my fate was doomed. If I can't stop you from appearing, I will completely lose my uniqueness. And immortals must be unique. For you who have never become an immortal, it doesn't matter even if there are ten or a hundred more Wang Luos in the world, but for me, every extra Wang Luo is like a malignant tumor parasitic in the body. If left alone, it will eat away my blood, flesh and essence. But if it is said to be removed, it is likely to cut off the artery directly, and die faster."

Hearing this, Wang Luo couldn't help but ask, "Is there no solution to this replacement?"

"Yes, there is no solution, at least until this moment, it is unsolvable. If there is a solution, how could I sit back and watch myself perish? Similarly, if there is a solution, how could Senior Sister suddenly disappear around the 700th year of your New Immortal Calendar?"

"She retired because...?"

"Yes, because I plagiarized her idea. She used you to replace me, and I can also use someone else to replace her. Although she gradually lost her immortal cultivation after Dinghuang, once she becomes an immortal, she can never wash away the stigma of an immortal. So the method that works for me is the same for her. Moreover, if there is really a solution to this sure-kill technique, there is no reason for Senior Sister not to use it on herself, and as long as she uses it, I will naturally be able to see through the trick... In addition, at that point in time, the Heavenly Court was far more powerful than the Immortal Alliance, so once I know the principle, I have countless ways to optimize her technique to achieve the goal of starting later and arriving first. How about this counterattack plan, doesn't it sound wonderful?"

Wang Luo shook his head: "You have already lost."

"Hahaha, you're right, as you can see. This kind of plagiarism does not allow the disciple to surpass the original. The moment I decided to copy others, I was already digging my own foundation. Not following your own path, but imitating the path of others, is the path of mortals, not the path of immortals. However, at the time, I really had no other choice. Moreover, from the conclusion afterwards, it was thanks to my decisive decision to imitate my senior sister, using the same technique to gradually force her behind the scenes, and even retreating to Jianmu to sleep for self-protection, that your appearance was delayed. Hundreds of years. During these hundreds of years, I have done a lot and achieved a lot. However, I think you are not interested in listening to a defeated general and a dying man bragging about his achievements, so I will only pick out the key points: the most important thing I have done in these hundreds of years is to pave the way for the peaceful surrender of the Heavenly Court. With the only remaining Golden Immortals of the Zhen and Xi families being wiped out by me, there is no longer any extreme opposition in the Jingzhou Heavenly Court. Therefore, the road to the development of the Immortal Alliance does not have to run over the corpses of all of us. "

At the end, Wang Luo on the other side added: "Of course, I know that this condition is not so easy to accept for both you and the Immortal Alliance behind you. But it doesn't matter, things can be done slowly, just like you accepted the 200 million mortals in Mingzhou, one day, you can also accept the immortals in Jingzhou Heaven."
