Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 548 Return to Familiarity
What would a dream that can't be stopped look like?
When the timeline in the dream came to two thousand years ago, Wang Luo saw the dream of the five hundred years of rapid development after the Immortal Ancestor created the world.

It was a fragmented, unevenly-colored sea of ​​white-gold fog. The entire Kyushu continent had sunk to the bottom of the sea of ​​fog, and no details could be seen. The once magnificent and prosperous fairyland was now covered by the overly strong light and was barely visible.

"Wait a moment while I adjust the perspective so you can see more clearly."

Before the Lord of Heaven finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and condensed a pair of sunglasses out of thin air and handed them to Wang Luo. Before Wang Luo could stop him, he sighed, stretched out his hand to take it and put it on.

As expected, the scene in front of me became particularly hideous after the white light was filtered out.

The Kyushu continent at the bottom of the foggy sea had long ceased to exist, and the essence of the fairyland that was looming was completely changed. Those towering palaces, those monuments that carried the glorious years, those gardens that nurtured precious trees and fairy fruits... Some seemed to have been corroded by strong acid, with pits and holes on the surface, and some were like melted candles, and their shapes gradually became deformed and terrifying under the washing of the platinum light.

With such a building, immortals are naturally not immune. Those creatures wandering in the ruins can hardly be called human beings. It's like...

"The appearance of a mortal turning into a wasteland, right? The nature is indeed the same. The immortal law that is forcibly patched will only deform living people into stitched monsters. This is true for mortals, and immortals are no exception. And this dream that was fabricated to accommodate the Heavenly Lord is actually not as good as the immortal law that the three great families joined forces to recast back then." The Lord of the Heavenly Court smiled bitterly and sighed, "And Senior Sister called the Royal Court's noble energy a wasteland poison, which really saw through the essence at a glance. The end of this whirlwind dream is a dazzling wasteland."

Wang Luo nodded slightly and looked around, searching for the theoretical only survivor.

"Chicheng, he..."

The Lord of Heaven pointed his finger above his head, and saw that the once brilliant night sky was also riddled with holes. Through his sunglasses, he could clearly see ugly cracks opening across the sky, with platinum blood flowing out of them, emitting a sweet smell.

And at the end of the sky, there is an extremely dazzling star, and its light can still burn people's eyes even if it is infinitely far away.

"In the past five hundred years, he has been soaring all the way to an unattainable height."

The Lord of Heaven sighed, "Initially, this was our deliberate guidance, and it was also the only way to make the best of a bad situation. Immortal Ancestor's creation of the heavens is simply a nonsense that should not exist. I, the dream weaver, have cut off the way forward for the Xinghai Tianyu from the root, but he wants to forcibly open up a new path. But in the face of this contradiction, I have no choice but to give in... because his creation of the heavens uses the same logic as the first heavenly tribulation. In other words, if I deny the creation of the heavens, it is equivalent to denying the core of this fictitious dream - that is, the group of immortals mending the sky. And once the creation of the heavens is indulged, it will be the current situation. The Immortal Ancestor will never return to the Xinghai Tianyu, and we, the dream weavers, can only do our best to make up a way forward for him. Later, if there is occasional spare energy, we will go to embellish the fairyland and Jiuzhou under our feet. After five hundred years, it is what it is now."

Wang Luo opened his mouth and temporarily took back the words "It's all your fault". Mocking the other party would not help to make the situation better, not to mention the current problem was...

"Has he never looked back in these five hundred years?"

The Lord of Heaven was silent for a moment, then said with a hint of self-mockery, "Of course there is. This sea of ​​white-gold fog is to hide the tragic situation in the lower world. Fortunately, he only looked back occasionally and never came down in person, otherwise everything would be exposed. So we have spent all our efforts to weave dreams over the years, just to prevent him from looking back. For this reason, we don't even care about the means of drinking poison to quench thirst."

"Drinking poison to quench thirst?" Wang Luo asked with a little doubt. At the same time, his eyes followed through his sunglasses all the way to the distance. He saw that the star symbolizing Taichu Tianzun was expanding in an incredible way, like a sun that was about to shine.

The Lord of Heaven smacked his lips and said, "Is the Yangxian realm going to be broken through? Then the next one should be the Yuanxian realm. Tsk, it seems that we have to start exaggerating the return of heaven and earth to the origin phase in advance..."

Wang Luo was puzzled: "Yangxian, Yuanxian? Why does this sound like the setting of a novel about upgrading?"

The Lord of Heaven said, "It's the setting of the novel about upgrading. After becoming a Golden Immortal, there is actually no way forward. The Immortal Ancestor Chicheng died in the Golden Immortal Realm. But in order to keep the dream of the Primordial Illusion going, I quoted the world view of the novel and invented a new power system. After the Golden Immortal is the Yang Immortal, and after the Yang Immortal is the Yuan Immortal. Each realm has different magical powers, and each is ten times more powerful than the previous realm. Of course, in essence, this kind of power and magical powers are purely the imagination and willpower of a group of ordinary immortals who racked their brains..."

"This sounds so far-fetched, Chi Cheng actually believed it?"

"This design is indeed too far-fetched and full of flaws, but it is particularly suitable for someone like Chi Cheng who is dedicated to improvement. He is the top scroll king who realized the truth on his own in the prehistoric era and broke through to the ascension. As long as you paint a beautiful prospect for him and plan a long-term growth path, you don't even need to do the details to the extreme, he will fill in the rest in his mind. However, this kind of growth is of course not endless, because the ability of the dream weaver is limited. It is not easy to render a picture of breaking through the realm that Chi Cheng himself can believe in. In fact, we have encountered difficulties many times in the Yangxian realm. When it comes to the Yuanxian realm, I can't even guarantee that the return of heaven and earth will not be seen through at the first time, thus exposing the whole trick."

Wang Luo couldn't help but ask: "And if the trick is exposed at this time, what will happen if the Immortal Ancestor wakes up from his dream? What impact will the creation of the world in the dream have on reality?"

The Lord of Heaven sighed, "The situation in the dream will naturally not completely correspond to reality. In reality, there are not so many heavens open to him, and there is no such thing as the realm of Yangxian Yuanxian. But the same reality is that in the deep cave, Tianzun has been worshipped as a true god by us True Immortals for hundreds of years. During this period, he absorbed nutrients from the three parties of heaven, earth and man. In terms of the reserve of immortal essence alone, it is far better than when he was at his peak. In numerical terms, if my peak was 100, then I am probably around 60 or 70 now, and I can try to get to 80. And the Tianzun in the deep cave is at least over 200. What does this numerical comparison mean? No need to say more, right?"

Wang Luo took a breath of cold air.

The values ​​used by the other party should be derived from a set of simple models that Senior Sister once mentioned. There seems to be only a 20% difference between combat power of 80 and 100, but this 20% in actual combat means that the weaker party will be defeated within five moves. And if the current Taichu Tianzun's immortal essence value reaches 200, it means that he can theoretically kill the former Immortal Ancestor Chicheng in one move! This is no longer a comparison of the same magnitude, and once the strength crosses the magnitude, it is even difficult to make up the difference with quantity.

However, in theory, such a huge amount of immortal essence cannot be housed in a single living being. The cultivation level of Immortal Ancestor Chi Cheng before his death should represent the peak of individual immortal essence at that time, so... "So Taichu Tianzun is already a monster that completely transcends the original immortal theory. We wove Yangxian Yuanxian for him in the dream, and he continued to improve according to what he learned in the dream, and changed the reality bit by bit in an incredible way, and this change is highly unstable. Although his immortal body under the deep cave contains a huge amount of immortal essence, the operation of the immortal essence is something we have never seen before, and it is not based on any Yangxian theory. Therefore, we can't even guarantee that his immortal body can continue to exist stably. Maybe at some point, even in the next moment, the immortal body will completely lose control, and then with a bang, the entire Jingzhou will be blown up to the sky."

These understated words left Wang Luo dumbfounded.

"You guys are really good at raising monsters..."

The Lord of Heaven shrugged and said, "Why don't you ask the Taixu Tianzun in the Xianyue Guanghan Palace what his current immortal essence value is?"

Wang Luo was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the Lord of Heaven say: "To be honest, I don't know the details, but I think it's probably higher than Taichu Tianzun. After all, the prosperity of Taixu Fantasy is far better than Taichu, and the prosperity of Tianzhiyou is also not comparable to today's Jingzhou. Of course, Lu Zhiyao's control and management of Taixu Tianzun is much better than mine, but considering Taixu's own growth and the existence of Taichu Tianzun, I'm afraid the stability over there is about to reach its limit."

Wang Luo keenly grasped the problem: "It sounds like Taixu was implicated by Taichu."

The Lord of Heaven said, "You are right to understand it this way. Although Taichu and Taixu are no longer the same thing, there is still a clear connection between the two Heavenly Lords. Although the plan to replace them has not been realized, it has not completely failed. However, to say that they are implicated... I am afraid it is not necessarily the case. The original opening style of Taichu Tianzun had some shadows of Taixu, so we are also implicated. In short, through the state of Taichu Tianzun, I can more or less guess that the situation on Lu Zhiyao's side is not optimistic. What's more, Tianzun is absolutely intolerant of heresy. At this point in time when the left and right sides of the sky are about to be peacefully unified, Tianzun himself is the biggest threat. No matter who implicates whom, the result is the same... Otherwise, I am afraid she would not let you come so easily."

Wang Luo was surprised again when he heard this.

Because of the other party's implied meaning, the senior sister was willing to let him go not only because she needed someone to inherit Tian Zhizuo's heavenly legacy, but also because she needed Wang Luo to resolve Tianzun's crisis.

However, how can a mere Nascent Soul be involved in a crisis of the Heavenly Venerable level? As the Lord of Heaven and the Lord of the Immortal Alliance, can't you clean up your own mess?

"Yes, this matter can only be done by you. You are the only one who can sink into the Taichu and Taixu illusions at the same time. This is very important. Because next, we have to kill two Tianzuns at the same time in the illusion."

"?"

The Lord of Heaven explained, "Unlike ordinary illusion walkers, Taichu and Taixu Tianzun are themselves part of the illusion. Once they are completely destroyed in the illusion, it is equivalent to the real death of the gods. And without the divine consciousness, the immortal body will naturally disintegrate and no longer pose a threat."

Hearing this, Wang Luo couldn't help but ask, "Being destroyed in the illusion is equivalent to the death of God?"

"Yes, if a normal practitioner dies in an illusion, he will just wake up from a nightmare, with at most a slight loss of consciousness. But Tianzun cannot die in a dream. He can be injured and encounter setbacks, but he must not die. The moment of death is the moment Tianzun disappears. The only problem is..."

"How can you let Tianzun die?" Wang Luo couldn't help but shake his head. "Tianzun Taixu is omnipotent in the right of heaven. It's hard to even look up to him in the illusion. And Tianzun Taichu is the peak of Yangxian. In the dream, he is completely above the fairyland. If you want to eliminate these two in the illusion, you might as well think of a way in reality."

The Lord of Heaven said, "No, it can only be solved in the illusion. In reality, we may be able to take advantage of the Heavenly Venerable's dream to destroy his immortal body, but the result will definitely be the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth, and it may even trigger a second heavenly disaster. In the illusion, even if the sky collapses and the earth cracks ten times, at least it will not seriously threaten reality... Moreover, compared to destroying a monster with an immortal value of more than 200 in reality, it is more feasible to destroy Yangxian in the illusion."

Wang Luo was even more puzzled: "How can it be more feasible? If Yang Xian's cultivation is measured in numerical terms, I'm afraid it's more than 200!"

The Lord of Heaven smiled and said, "Yes, strictly speaking, it is two hundred and fifty-five... So, do you understand?"

Wang Luo was stunned for a moment, and a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind. As long as he thought about it for a moment, he would get the answer.

But the Lord of Heaven announced the answer first with a smile.

"The fantasy has its own gameplay, and this gameplay is the easiest to achieve the weak defeating the strong. The basic concept of the Taichu Fantasy is based on Taixu, and you should have experienced Lu Zhiyao's Taixu Fantasy. The most exciting part is called the Taixu Scroll. Although there are thousands of contents in the scroll, the most popular and most popular categories are mostly based on combat. So, think carefully, in those combat-themed scrolls, do participants often need to face a terrifying and powerful enemy whose numerical value is simply a world apart from their own, and then use various techniques and various mechanisms to defeat the strong with the weak? In the scroll, participants can often achieve miraculous victories that would never be possible in reality. Compared to a first-level Qi-inducing monk who is naked and unharmed and a single-pass Jindan old demon, I think dealing with the Fantasy Heavenly Venerable is relatively simple."

When Wang Luo heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Although the words of the Lord of Heaven sound a bit absurd, when you think about it carefully... they actually make sense.

Killing someone in a dream, or even with a deliberate plan, is indeed much simpler than in reality. However, no matter how simple it is, it is still the Heavenly Lord... The Lord of Heaven's plan must not stop there.
