Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 775: Daluo, time, process, and Taiyi Zhenren's killing intention

"I am Disciple Taiyi, seeking to see my Master." Taiyi Zhenren knelt in front of Yuxu Palace and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times.

After Dong Hai met Qinglong, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he returned to Kunlun Mountain.

This is also the greatest confidence of being a disciple of a saint - being able to seek help from the saint at critical moments.

Although under normal circumstances, the saints' disciples would not ask the saints for help, just as adult mortals would be ashamed to continue asking their parents for help.

But that's just normal.

When encountering some special situations, this little bit of shame is nothing.

There is no doubt that what Taiyi Zhenren saw in the East China Sea was a special case.

After a moment, the gate of Yuxu Palace opened wide, and the long voice of Yuanshi Tianzun also came from the depths of Yuxu Palace.

"What's the matter?"

Taiyi Zhenren entered.

In the Yuxu Palace, the real body of Yuanshi Tianzun is not here. There is only a sculpture whose appearance cannot be seen clearly.

After Taiyi Zhenren bowed to the sculpture, he sat down on the cushion in front of it.

"Master, during this trip to the East China Sea, I encountered something I couldn't understand." Taiyi Zhenren narrated what he saw at the Azure Dragon in the East China Sea, and finally came to his own conclusion.

"I feel as if I have seen the future."

Although he is only Taiyi now, his future will be Daluo - and once Daluo is achieved, it will be forever achieved, and he can even travel through time and space.

Therefore, the characteristics of the future Daluo have already manifested themselves in the present Taiyi Zhenren.

It was this quality that gave Taiyi Zhenren a different understanding of the wonders of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire evolved by the Azure Dragon. He saw the shadow of the future in the traces of the flow of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire.

However, the current Taiyi Zhenren is only Taiyi, not Daluo, and he himself has never thought that he will truly become Daluo one day - so he cannot be sure about what he sensed.

That's why he came to Yuxu Palace.

Is what I sense true or false? Is the 'future' an illusion, a delusion, or is it the true essence?

This answer is of vital importance to Taiyi Zhenren.

"What you see and feel is what you think."

"What you think is the truth." In Yuxu Palace, the voice of Yuanshi Tianzun sounded - it seemed to come from the statue, and it seemed to come from every corner of Yuxu Palace.

Taiyi Zhenren fell silent all of a sudden.

An unexpected yet expected answer - expected, because he also had such a feeling, so he came to Yuxu Palace.

What was unexpected was that given Yuanshi Tianzun's character, he should not have told him the answer directly.

Because this answer can be said to announce Taiyi Zhenren's future as Daluo, making Taiyi Zhenren destined to become Daluo in the future - and not a Daluo like Maitreya, who only exists in the future, but a real Daluo that exists everywhere between heaven and earth.

At this time, a new question emerged in Taiyi Zhenren's mind.

"Master, I don't understand, what is the significance of the existence of time to Daluo?" asked Taiyi Zhenren.

This is a question that many Taiyi between heaven and earth have - but no Taiyi knows the answer to this question.

Once Daluo is achieved, it is achieved forever; once it exists, it exists forever. When Daluo is achieved, time and space have been concluded. From the moment of its birth, its fate of becoming Daluo is determined.

But if, once Daluo is achieved, it will be achieved forever, then for the creatures who can achieve Daluo, what is the meaning of their existence in the process of going from ordinary creatures to Daluo?
Even if time and space are reversed, even if this process does not happen, Daluo will still be Daluo, right?
Since Daluo is destined to be Daluo, what is the meaning of his existence during this period of time?
After this question was raised, a chuckle suddenly sounded in Yuxu Palace.

That was the laughter that Taiyi Zhenren had not heard for countless thousands of years. It came from Yuanshi Tianzun, the most serious and solemn saint.

"Time has no meaning to Daluo."

"The process is meaningless to Daluo." Yuanshi Tianzun said with a smile.

"However, this has supreme significance for beings below Daluo."

As Yuanshi Tianzun spoke, the long river of time and space in the Yuxu Palace seemed to turn upside down, and little by little, transformed into its most primitive and ancient appearance in front of Taiyi Zhenren.

It is not a long river of time and space with a beginning and an end, a source and a destination, but a round and chaotic sea of ​​time and space with no origin and no destination.

"This is the most ancient era in the world."

"One after another, fellow Taoists came out from here, and then returned to the origin, anchoring their own past and modifying their own legends."

"At that time, time, process, heaven and earth, all have no meaning - any Taoist friend can travel between the past and the future according to his own wishes and adjust everything that is taught by heaven and earth."

"So at that time, Daluo was born Daluo."

"Similarly, that was also the most desperate era between heaven and earth."

"Because Daluo is born Daluo."

"If you are not born as a Daluo, you will never be able to become a Daluo."

"Do you understand it?"

As Yuanshi Tianzun spoke, a bolt of thunder exploded in Taiyi Zhenren’s mind.

With just a few words, a completely different, unprecedented, desperate and dark era with no way forward appeared before Taiyi Zhenren.

High and low, up and down, noble and humble, are all determined from the moment a living being is born.

As a result, for all living beings between heaven and earth, there is no meaning in any effort, and no meaning in moving forward.

Even living beings themselves, except for those who are born as Daluo, all other beings have no meaning of existence.

Therefore, below the level of Daluo, all are ants.

Throughout history, no desperate era imagined by any living being could be even a fraction as bad as that dark age.

Seeing that Taiyi Zhenren understood, Yuanshi Tianzun continued to speak.

"This era lasted for a very long time - maybe a very long time. Anyway, in that era, the existence of time had no meaning, so no one bothered about the length of that period of time."

"Until a person appears." "You should also know the name of that person."

"It is Hongjun."

"When he attained enlightenment, he slashed the sea of ​​chaos with one sword, turning time and space from an ocean into a long river."

"Convince those Daluo one by one, make them recognize the existence of the long river of time and space, and make them recognize the significance of the past and the future."

"And he personally guarded the long river."

"Since then, the existence of time has become meaningful."

“The existence of the process is meaningful.”

“So from then on, every Daluo between heaven and earth also had their own past and future, and the process of their growth from below Daluo to above Daluo.”

"This process has meaning. Practice has meaning."

“Thus, practice came into being.”

“The living beings between heaven and earth have hope.”

"It is precisely because it has given meaning to the heaven and earth, given meaning to spiritual practice, and given future and hope to all living beings that Hongjun's Way has become the ultimate righteous way between heaven and earth." - Of course, this is also the contribution of the Daluo to the heaven and earth.

No matter whether those Daluo obey Hongjun's laws actively or passively, they obey these laws, and between heaven and earth, they keep their "past" before they become Daluo, so that all creatures between heaven and earth can see their past, thereby inspiring the creatures between heaven and earth and letting them keep hope. That is their "meaning" to heaven and earth, and their contribution to heaven and earth.

This is also one of the reasons why Daluo does not fall into the killing calamity.

"Similarly, since Hongjun passed away, history and the past have gained meaning and become an unchanging reality."

"And the ever-changing Dark Ages and Despair Ages were also rewritten under the arrangement of Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, and turned into a piece of history recognized by all Daoists."

“That is, the past of heaven and earth.”

"The past is eternal and cannot be changed."

"It was after Hongjun's death that the future began to become uncertain, and the past, present, and future began to influence each other."

"Just like you, you may have the possibility of becoming a great master in the future - but this possibility is not real."

“If at this moment, you think that you are destined to become Daluo, and you give up practicing and giving up working hard, then your possibility of becoming Daluo will become smaller and smaller, and eventually vanish completely.”

"Or, you can choose to become a being like Maitreya, choose a destined future that will never come, and become a special Daluo."

Yuanshi Tianzun's voice slowly calmed down.

"Master, if that's the case, then what kind of existence is the Azure Dragon of the East China Sea?"

"Does he belong to the past, the present, or the future?" Taiyi Zhenren thought and then asked.

After understanding the relationship between time and space, Daluo, living beings, heaven and earth, another doubt emerged in Taiyi Zhenren's mind.

The present can influence the future - but the future cannot interfere with the present.

If that's the case, then how can the Azure Dragon of the East China Sea take on the "future" and allow oneself to "see" the future in him?

"Because the Azure Dragon originally came from the future." Yuanshi Tianzun calmly gave an earth-shattering answer that Taiyi Zhenren could never have expected.

He clearly said that the long river of time and space was opened up, and Daozu Hongjun personally suppressed the past, but at the same time, he also said that the Azure Dragon of the East China Sea returned from the 'future' to the 'past'.

These two statements are completely contradictory.

No matter how high Taiyi Zhenren's enlightenment is, it is difficult for him to understand this contradictory statement.

"Master, I don't understand." At this moment, clouds of mist rose above Taiyi Zhenren's head. If the person in front of him was not Yuanshi Tianzun, Taiyi Zhenren would have stood up and rebuked those perverse theories, wanting to use fighting to reaffirm his determination and reorganize his understanding of the world.

"The appearance of Azure Dragon is another mysterious aspect of the changes in time and space."

“For Daluo, once they have attained enlightenment, they will attain it forever. Once they exist, they will exist forever. Whether they are alive or dead, whether they have fallen or not, it does not matter to them. For example, the Demon King and others who once fell, if the world reopens one day, they will still reopen with the world.”

"And now, rather than saying that they have fallen, it is better to say that they have withdrawn from the game of this world. In the depths of the long river of time and space, they are watching the development of this game and waiting for the game of this world to start again."

"In this era, they are losers, but in the next era, they may be winners."

"And the reason why Qinglong was able to transcend the shackles of time and space was, first, because of the future he carried on his shoulders, and second, because a Daluo burned himself out in the most thorough way."

“Even if the world reopens and everything is reset to zero, that Daluo will forever remain in the history of that burning moment.”

“No matter how many times the heaven and earth reopen, and no matter how the future evolves, when time comes to that point again, he will surely perish.” There was also a hint of sadness in Yuanshi Tianzun’s voice.

Upon hearing this, a heavy feeling emerged in Taiyi Zhenren's heart, and an inexplicable sadness emerged, as if it was going to block his throat.

He was totally unable to comprehend the reason for this sudden sadness - in the end, he could only blame it on the fact that he had 'witnessed' the demise of a Daluo in the most thorough way through Yuanshi Tianzun's words, which caused him to feel grief over the loss of a great master.

"Master, the future is uncertain, so there is the splendor of heaven and earth, and the struggle of sentient beings to practice and transcend."

"As Master said, the Azure Dragon of the East China Sea is coming in the future. The future it carries will definitely affect the future of this world, turning the uncertainty of the future into a certainty."

"In this way, the Taoist's Xuanmen law has been completely destroyed."

"Disciple, please hold the Pangu Banner to the East China Sea and completely wipe out the Azure Dragon and the dragon clan. Completely erase all traces of them left between heaven and earth to protect the orthodoxy of Xuanmen!" Suddenly, Taiyi Zhenren seemed to remember something and became murderous.

As for the attitude of Jiejiao revealed by the fact that Zhao Gongming stayed by Ao Bing's side, Taiyi Zhenren no longer cared about it.

——Don’t even mention Zhao Gongming, even if all the disciples of Jiejiao were there, he would definitely take action.

After all, what he said about erasing all traces of Ao Bing left between heaven and earth also included the communication between Ao Bing and the disciples of Jiejiao.

"Hahahahahaha." Hearing Taiyi Zhenren's murderous words, Yuanshi Tianzun laughed again.

"Do you know that Ao Bing was in the Green Travel Palace, taking advantage of the green lotus leaf to manifest the form of a green dragon?"

"If you want to erase his traces, do you have to attack the Biyou Palace?"

This made Taiyi Zhenren even more confused.
