fairy father

Chapter 623 No Truth
Old man Wangri clenched his fists slightly.

At this moment, his face became expressionless, and it was impossible to tell the extent of his anger. He didn't seem to care about the figures moving away from him.

The figures behind Li Pingan and the Faceless Man gradually increased;

About 40% of the figures behind Old Man Wangri have disappeared.

In the Chaos Sea, the Chaos beasts seemed to have divided into camps and began to confront each other.

Li Ping'an watched the situation quietly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He was dressed in a white robe as white as snow, with green lotuses surrounding him.

"Teacher," Li Pingan said, "I think everyone still respects you. Why don't we each take a step back and lead everyone to a better world? Isn't that possible?"

Old Man Wangri did not speak, but the gap on his body continued to shine with light.

Li Pingan continued, "Are you really just driven by obsession, and are you fulfilling your obsession just for the sake of fulfilling it? I don't believe it. I have been with my teacher for hundreds of years. Although this period of time is nothing to my teacher, it has been a long time for me. I can feel your concern for me."

Wangri sighed and looked down at his palm.

Li Pingan didn't say much.

when--

The Chaos Bell fell in front of the old man Wangri with a melodious sound, and the bell spirit appeared with a faint fairy light.

She looked at Li Ping'an with a bitter smile in her eyes:

"Can you tell me what happened? Why... and you, how did you become compatible?"

Li Pingan glanced at the faceless man, not afraid of what would happen if he said this in front of all the immortals, and just said: "Specifically, I haven't been able to fully react. The core problem is that only one of me and the world can exist. Then it suddenly occurred to me that I can make myself one with the world... and merge with the Tao."

Zhong Ling was puzzled and said, "But this world is flawed. It will come to an end. Isn't this suicide?"

"maybe."

Li Pingan smiled calmly:

“When I learned the truth, I didn’t know how to face it.

"At least the problem is solved now, isn't it?"

Zhong Ling didn't know what to say for a moment: "But, but he did so much for you."

"I didn't deny it, I didn't refuse it, I even admitted everything because I sympathized with him."

Li Pingan's eyes were filled with helplessness:
“I just want to solve the problem now. Although four hundred and twenty-nine worlds have already passed away, this time, I will at least stop it.

“Because I’m here, I’m here.

“I’m going to do what I think is right.”

"But!"

"Well," Wangri closed his eyes and sighed, his pupils seemed to lose all light in an instant, "In the end, I just worked in vain."

"No, teacher," Li Pingan shrugged, "Perhaps you can think about how to pull me and the world out of the final catastrophe... Don't you want to save me?"

Wangri's expression was suddenly indescribable.

The Three Pure Ones, having recovered, slowly rose behind Li Ping'an.

Tongtian Patriarch looked at Li Ping'an and the Faceless Man in confusion, Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes showed a little more admiration, while Taiqing was calm.

Laojun came riding on a cow, bowed to the old man Wangri, then shook off the dust and said slowly:
“Transcendent Spirit, there is no need for a fight in today’s situation.

“If a war breaks out, both sides will suffer losses, and the world you want to open up and the world we want to open up will not be able to truly come into being.

"Now is a critical moment for the tangible world. Why don't we each take a step back and help one side?"

Wangri shook his head, and his figure was wrapped in a cloud of mist, returning to his usual appearance.

He just looked at Li Pingan and asked calmly: "Is this what you want?"

"That's what I want."

"That's good, that's good," Old Man Wangri smiled with satisfaction, "In that case, I have done what I should do. After you merge with the Dao and become a part of the world, you have transcended my karma."

Li Pingan thought for a moment and called out softly, "Father?"

The world is peaceful and quiet.

The surroundings became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Old Man Wangri smiled, but he just closed his eyes and smiled. He said:
“I am about to collapse, and I can’t do much for you. Since you have chosen this path, I won’t force you to do anything… I will wait for you at the end of the Chaos Sea, waiting for you to open up a new world. I will also try to live longer, so that if someone wants to plot against you, I can help you destroy them.

“After I die, you will have full control over this sarcophagus and those remains of heaven and earth, as well as the Chaos Bell.

“I’m definitely tired.

"In fact, I want a grand ending, a sublime battle, and a quick death... Unfortunately, my story can only end peacefully, because I have to save all my energy for exploration.

"The starry sky... the starry sky is pretty good..."

Old Man Wangri opened his left hand slightly.

Almost in an instant, one-third of the figures in this small world collapsed.

Wisps of dust flew back to Wangri's body and then disappeared.

Wangri's aura slowly rose, and even... his strength was three points higher than the level at which he had previously been able to suppress Pangu God.

Wangri looked around, his eyes full of coldness.

He said, "I am letting this world go for now, not because I cannot defeat you or I am worried about the damage to the origin of the world. I can complete a few more reincarnations to make up for the current shortcomings. I am letting you go... just because he made such a choice, don't let him down."

After saying this, Wangri flicked his sleeves, and his figure turned into a beam of light and disappeared in the bronze mirror.

Taoist Zhayun smiled and bowed to Li Ping'an, then turned around and left with the bronze mirror in his hand. Those figures who had followed Wangri, regardless of whether they had supported Pangu or Wangri before, now chose to follow Wangri and leave.

They don't seem to be afraid of being purged by Wang Ri.

The world quickly fell silent.

Li Pingan didn't know why, but he felt empty inside and stood there for a long time without coming to his senses.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" Laojun called out from the side.

"Well," Li Pingan perked up and tried to smile, but ended up with a bitter smile, "Laojun, what's wrong?"

"Your Majesty," Laojun bowed his head and made a Taoist gesture, "You are in harmony with the Tao to protect the heaven and earth. This is truly a blessing for all living beings."

All the immortals and gods below bowed in unison.

"Your Majesty," Yao Chi looked at Li Ping'an with complicated eyes and whispered, "You should discuss this with us... At the very least... Tell us in advance..."

“Am I any different now than I was before?”

Li Pingan spread his hands:
"To unite with the Dao does not mean to completely become the Dao of Heaven, but to bind myself to the Dao of Heaven. My body is still there.

"The only thing that was cut off was the chance for transcendence. If the world is gone, I will be gone... But that is already a very distant thing. Now, he will not interfere with this world. We can implement the four plans I made."

As Li Pingan spoke, he looked at Qingsu below.

Qingsu smiled and nodded without saying anything more.

Li Pingan secretly felt regretful in his heart that Ningning was not here, otherwise all the love and relationships he had in this life would have come together.

He laughed and said, "Why are you all so sad? Oh, yes, a lot of people have disappeared."

Li Pingan looked down.

On the side of the Chan school, three of the Twelve Golden Immortals were missing: Juliusun, Manjusri Bodhisattva, and Samantabhadra.

What surprised Li Ping'an was that Vice Leader Ran Deng and Taoist Cihang were still there.

They are not chess pieces made by Old Man Wangri using tiny parts of himself.

There were thirty-seven or thirty-eight fewer people on the Jiejiao side.

This made Tongtian Sect Master's expression extremely complicated.

Really, Master Tongtian never dreamed that such a large number of these disciples he gained through fighting and preaching in ancient times were actually pawns planted by Old Man Wangri.

Yuanshi Tianzun, standing aside, looked at Tongtian Jiaozhu with a smile on his face, which seemed to be both blaming and showing off.

Show off his foresight and the rule that the teachings should not be passed on lightly.

Li Pingan stretched lazily and said with a smile: "Everyone continue to observe here. Later, I would like to ask the master to continue to protect this place. We have only resolved the pressure from the transcendents, and the true end of the world has not been effectively resolved."

Tongtian asked: "Where are you going later, Your Majesty? Why not go to the Biyou Palace and play for a while?"

"There are still many things to do," Li Pingan shook his head solemnly, "I don't want to bear any pressure, but so many worlds and countless lives have been lost, and the overall price paid is already incomparably huge. That sea of ​​stars must be opened up."

All the immortals and gods showed solemn expressions.

Li Pingan opened his left hand, and the Chaos Bell turned into the size of a fist and slowly fell down.

He said: "From today on, I will be in charge of the Chaos Bell and practice in the Ocean of Dao. There are only four saints left in the world, but the foundation of the world cannot be shaken."

Laojun said: "Taiqing said that a Taoist conference will be held in the Ninth Heaven a hundred years later, and the fate of the Conferred God Catastrophe will occur here."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slowly and took the initiative to express his opinion: "I am a disciple of the Chan Sect and can be included in the Conferred God List."

Tong Tian Jiaozhu said slowly: "I am a disciple of Jiejiao, and my physical body can also be included in the list."

The disciples of the Chan and Jie sects looked at Li Ping'an and said nothing.

Compared to Li Ping'an who achieved harmony with the Tao before the end of heaven and earth, why couldn't they enter the heaven itself?

"Alas," Nuwa sighed, "I never thought that the transcendent would..."

"Holy Mother," Li Pingan said with a smile, "I will visit the Holy Mother Palace later. Although the matter of the Conferred God List no longer needs to be bound to Nanzhou, the affairs of Nanzhou still need to be promoted."

Nuwa asked: "How do you push it?"

"My original intention was not to interfere, but I am already in South Continent."

Li Pingan said seriously:

“There are actually only three major events in the world that I really care about.

“First, the world has come to an end, and this matter has taken a turn for the better.

“Secondly, the matter has been basically resolved due to the power of transcendence.

"Third, the issue of Nanzhou's ban on human sacrifices has not been completely settled yet, so we should continue to work on it."

Nuwa nodded slowly and said, "It's rare that you haven't changed your original intention. I will wait for you to come to the Holy Mother Palace."

After saying this, Nuwa bowed to Li Ping'an, turned around and disappeared in rainbow light. Her departure set an example for the immortals and gods. The Three Pure Ones said goodbye one after another, took away all the masters, and sealed this world again.

This place is the top priority of the future world.

Li Pingan looked at the mess everywhere and the bewildered Donghuang Taiyi, and couldn't help laughing: "Let's go drink, substitute."

The corners of Donghuang Taiyi's mouth were twitching wildly.

……

An hour later.

In Chaoge City, inside the empty palace hall.

Li Ping'an put down the wine jug. Without using Ji Dan's clone, he sat on the couch and stared at the white clouds outside the door in a daze.

Donghuang Taiyi burped and wondered, "How did you find out?"

"What did you find?"

"That's right, you can solve all problems with He Dao," Dong Huang Tai Yi couldn't help muttering, "I thought the two sides had to go to war and fight each other."

"There are many ways to solve a problem. We can look for the path that yields the greatest victory with the least sacrifice."

Li Ping'an curled his lips slightly:
"Do you think I want to merge with the Dao? I want to live and die with the heaven and earth. I want to find a way to extend the life of the heaven and earth, which means extending my life.

“I hesitated before.

"Originally, I don't owe the world anything. I've done enough. What does the destruction of the world have to do with me? But when I know that my father has done so much for me, I feel pressured...

"At that time, I felt like, look here, it's about to explode."

Li Pingan pointed at his head.

Donghuang Taiyi smiled innocently: "Aren't you going on? You were right before. It is not the case that what the father thinks is good, the son will think is good. Isn't the world the heir of the father? Although the father created it, the father is not qualified to decide the fate of the world."

"No, no, no, this is just from the perspective of living beings. The answer to this question will be different from different perspectives."

Li Pingan shrugged:

"From the beginning to the end, there is not much justice here, only positions, or in other words, the justice of each position.

"I still say that abiding by one's own principles is the most important thing. For example, one of my principles is that only actions that do not infringe on the rights of others are fundamentally just."

"I don't understand," Donghuang Taiyi smiled comfortably, "I'm too lazy to understand, how are you going to arrange for me?"

Li Pingan said: "Later I will use the Chaos Bell to go back and let you escape from this place. In exchange for your original Zishou, you will go to the Heavenly Court and reunite with Zhichu. After that, you will rebuild your life by yourself."

Donghuang Taiyi smiled and said, "Unconditionally obey the orders of Daozu."

"I'm not the Taoist master," Li Ping'an said with a bitter expression, "I'm just a nobody for whom my father has arranged everything for me."

"Oh?"

Donghuang Taiyi couldn't help but wonder:

"Didn't you turn the entire battle situation around by yourself?

"You made your own sacrifices, you completed your plan... this..."

"That's it," Li Pingan said, "I don't dare tell this to others. I'll feel useless if I tell them, but that's the truth."

"specific?"

Donghuang Taiyi was full of confusion.

Li Pingan exhaled lightly:
“I can’t describe exactly what this feeling is, but my intuition tells me that the path I’m taking now is actually the path my father has arranged for me.

“He knows my character.

"He understands everyone's personality, and he roughly understands the personalities of the main masters in this ancient world.

"Will he not notice that something is wrong with Pangu? Will he not feel that these subordinates he trained have gradually identified with Pangu? Will he not know that there is no eternal world?

"He's been lying to me, partly lying, and look what's happened now?
"I sacrificed myself to stop his plan to destroy the world. I have gained the respect of almost all living beings. Although I am his son, no one will mention this matter in the future. When they mention me, they will only say that I sacrificed myself for the greater good and fought against my father, the Transcendent. I am a hero..."

Donghuang Taiyi asked back, "But, after you merge with the Dao, won't you be trapped in the world? Your life will still be in danger. Since he has been saving you, how could he let you fall into such a danger that may be completely irreparable? You have to know that when you open up that sea of ​​stars, you may die, and this world may not be able to survive."

Li Pingan sighed: "After merging with the Heavenly Dao, I can now deduce very complex problems... We have all overlooked one thing."

"what?"

"Skeletons."

"Skeletons?"

"Yes, the skeleton of another Li Pingan."

Li Ping'an smiled bitterly and said:

“He has been keeping it. I actually still have a chance to leave the world. After this world is destroyed, my soul will be freed.

“I can now predict what will happen in the future.

"Under my leadership, the prehistoric civilization is gradually moving towards the direction of the 'mechanical fairyland'. We drive huge ships in the Chaos Sea to hunt innate gods and demons to replenish the origin of heaven and earth.

“Civilization is constantly evolving, and there are still tens of thousands of years left for evolution, until a truly giant civilization emerges. Then we will gather all the debris of the heaven and earth, the power of the origin of the heaven and earth, to open up that starry universe, and living beings will enter the universe to start a new cycle of life.

"In this process, I will gradually become the rule maker that dominates everything.

“Then I should have another sacrifice scene. The old world will collapse and I will suffer a severe blow. Then, my soul will be taken away by my father who is waiting in suspended animation. His Li Ping’an will be resurrected. I will still be myself, but I will become his son again, his real son. His obsession will be satisfied and he will be completely freed.

"That's probably the case."

"This!" Donghuang Taiyi raised his hand to support his forehead, "Why do I feel that this is just your guess."

"Just consider it my guess."

Li Pingan sighed.

He looked at the clouds outside the palace and smiled peacefully:

"Fortunately, he did not kill me, his father, the father who came here with me."

"By the way, is your father still asleep?"

"He was drunk," Li Pingan smiled bitterly, "In fact, he was drunk by the Heavenly Dao. This was probably part of his plan to prevent the Great Dao of Karma from collapsing in the final confrontation and reconciliation."

Donghuang Taiyi raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

Li Pingan asked: "When are you going to heaven?"

"I have some things to do in a few days."

"What do you want to do?"

"Pray to the Nuwa Temple!"

Li Pingan almost kicked him.

at the same time.

Outside the city of Xuandu, in the secret realm of the transcendents.

The reclining old man Wangri slid the bronze mirror in front of him, watching Li Pingan and Donghuang Taiyi chatting and laughing, with a slight smile on his face.

There were many figures behind him, but most of them had dull eyes and wooden expressions.

The sarcophagus in his arms was now shining with a warm yellow light.

A faint light and shadow appeared behind the secret realm.

A clear bell sounded, and a young Taoist in a purple robe slowly appeared, looking at Wangri's figure with complicated eyes.

"Fellow."

The young Taoist called out, and his voice instantly alerted Wangri.

Wangri suddenly turned his head, sat up immediately, and stared at the young Taoist in front of him who should not be here.

"Fellow Daoist Wuwangzi? When did you come?"

"It's been a while since I started this final plan, and I've been watching how you handle this matter."

Wuwangzi clicked his tongue:

"I need to remind you that you have violated the twelve laws and regulations of the Transcendent Realm. You will have to endure long years of pain. You have interfered too deeply with the tangible world.

"You even made the mysterious boss I mentioned earlier misjudge you. He thought that an interesting primitive world had been born in this tangible world. Later, after checking the data of your tangible world, he realized that you were artificially creating myths and causing the heaven and earth to continue to reincarnate.

“The Space-Time Administration takes protecting the rights and interests of every true spirit as its basic principle.

"I'm actually here to arrest you."

Wang Ri frowned tightly and smiled bitterly: "Can this poor Taoist resist?"

"In fact, I am also quite interested in the evolution of the Chaos Sea to the Cosmic Star Sea. I also want to observe it."

Wuwangzi raised his eyebrows slightly and walked to Wangri's side:
“But, you can’t make any more moves from now on.

"The children have grown up, it's time for them to walk their own path... the words that the mysterious boss brought to you."

Wangri was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled with relief, his eyes full of emotion.

He asked: "Who is that mysterious boss that Daoyou keeps talking about?"

"I do not know."

"Fellow Taoist, don't you know?"

“Hmm,” Wuwangzi had a complicated expression. “He never reveals his name, so he is not involved in karma. Although he is nominally the deputy director, he is the founder of the entire Spacetime Administration. Only a small number of employees can actually contact him. He values ​​your ability to build the world, and he should invite you to become a creator later.”

Wang Ri: ...

"I am about to collapse."

"You can just lie to others, but I can't kill you if you don't want to die."

Wuwangzi narrowed his eyes and smiled, and naturally took the bronze mirror from Wangri:
"You still have a huge amount of sins to slowly pay for. Even if you die, you will be balanced back. Believe it or not.

"Let me see what your baby son is doing..."

In the bronze mirror, the scene of Li Pingan and Mu Ningning kissing slowly emerged.
