Chapter 768: The Source of the Long River of Time (Additional chapter for Alliance Leader Fu◇Qua)
Jiang Li returned from the gap, and the gap healed automatically.
"The black tide has disappeared, but the rules of destruction remain."
Jiang Li knew that unless he became the second Taichu and set new rules, the rules of destruction would always exist.
The rules of destruction are uncertain, and they might appear somewhere and once again transform into a black tide sweeping the world.
But it’s also good this way. The existence of the rule of destruction is like having a sword hanging over the world at all times. If we want to prevent the sword from falling, we can only continue to establish order.
Jiang Li did not tell others about eliminating the black tide at the possible gathering place because of this consideration.
Establishing order is not something that can be accomplished overnight. If we slack off even a little, order will collapse and we will have to start all over again, and the price of this is countless lives.
Emperor Shun nodded, understanding Jiang Li's meaning: "That's fine."
"What a pity! It turns out that the Yuanshi Seal can solve the black tide. I also studied the True Self Seal as a safety precaution, but it seems that it is useless now."
Taiyi Seal, Yuanshi Seal and True Self Seal, these are the three seals that Jiang Li studied.
Emperor Shun couldn't imagine that the Taiyi Seal could destroy the Heavenly Way, and the Yuanshi Seal could wipe out the black tide, so how powerful would the True Self Seal be?
"Emperor Shun, do you want to give it a try?"
Emperor Shun shook his head vigorously. His old arms and legs could not withstand the torment.
"Is the Human Emperor going back to Kyushu?"
Jiang Li shook his head slightly and looked upstream in the long river of time.
"No, I want to meet Taichu."
Emperor Shun was stunned for a moment before hesitatingly saying, "The Emperor of Man means that we should go against the flow of time, to the source of time, to the moment when the world was born?"
“I have this idea.”
Emperor Shun shook his head and said, "No, the reason why Taichu was able to create all the worlds was because he was the only thought at that time. If the Human Emperor passed away, it would break the uniqueness of Taichu."
"Moreover, when the world was born, the rules of time had not yet been created at the beginning. The source of the long river of time only appeared at the moment when the rules of time were created. Even if the Human Emperor went there, he would not be able to see the complete creation process."
Jiang Li was a little disappointed.
"But..." Emperor Shun seemed to have thought of something.
"But what?"
"The creation of the world is the most important event in the world. Its experience is remembered by the world and imprinted near the source of the long river of time. However, the imprint is too strong, and no one can get close to see it. But according to Emperor Jiang, it should be possible."
"Does Emperor Jiang Ren want to see that mark?"
Jiang Li's eyes lit up: "Yes."
"Then please follow me, Human Emperor."
Emperor Shun took Jiang Li upstream against the river of time to the source of time.
Walking along the long river of time, Jiang Li witnessed many major events in history.
He came to the past nine thousand years and saw that the Heavenly Dao had gained intelligence. The Taoist Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao were fighting, and the entire fairy world was in chaos.
He saw that the Heavenly Dao had split into several clones, one of which represented the beauty of the Heavenly Dao and was the real Fairy of the Mortal World. The immortals could not resist the charm of the Heavenly Dao and drew their swords against it. The Fairy of the Mortal World had no choice but to flee to Kyushu, open up a pure land in the mortal world, and stay away from the mortal world.
He saw that the immortal world had gathered together to research and develop the ladder to immortality, connecting all the heavens and worlds. The immortal world was extremely prosperous, leaving eternal legends in the lower world. Becoming an immortal became the goal of all living beings, and the reputation of the immortal world resounded throughout the heavens and worlds, becoming the true supreme of all realms.
He saw the Immortal Emperor Qiongxiao attain the state of Hunyuan Wuji, establish the Heavenly Palace, and open up a new era for the Immortal Realm, thus laying the foundation for building the Ladder to Immortality.
He saw Yuanzu lose his beloved, so he studied the way of time and achieved the state of Hunyuan Wuji. However, reversing time would only create a new parallel world and could not truly resurrect his beloved, so Yuanzu had to give up.
He saw the Buddha subdue the sixth-day demon king, Mara, under the Bodhi tree. After three immeasurable kalpas, his cultivation of blessings, virtue and wisdom was perfected, and he achieved the Hunyuan Wuji status.
He saw the Confucian saints seeking the truth from the Taoist ancestors, and then preaching to the heavens and all worlds, allowing uncivilized people to understand morality. He had immeasurable merits and immeasurable good deeds, and achieved the status of Hunyuan Wuji.
He saw that after the death of Hou Tu Niangniang, she became enlightened, understood the rules of reincarnation, created the underworld, and became the fair and selfless Hou Tu Huangji. She then established a strictly enforced order, established the six realms of reincarnation, and established hell, so that all beings would have a fear of death.
If there is a slight deviation in these major events, there will be different choices and parallel worlds will appear. Many of the parallel worlds that Jiang Li has visited were created because of the different choices made by Hunyuan Wujixian.
Emperor Shun, who had been walking in front, stopped his steady pace. Jiang Li paused and stopped where he was.
"arrive?"
"arrive."
After crossing the long river of time and reading the past and present, Jiang Li finally arrived at the source of time.
Emperor Shun made a gesture of invitation: "The long river of time we just walked through is the long river of time in our world, and the source of the long rivers of time in all parallel worlds is ahead. I cannot go there, please let the emperor go alone."
Jiang Li nodded and stepped over the invisible barrier in front of him.
Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.
The conditions for crossing the invisible barrier are the same as those for traveling to a parallel world, requiring two types of heavenly-level combat power, so no one can go here.
Obviously, Jiang Li was an accident.
There was a big stone blocking the source of the long river of time, with a rough painting on it. Jiang Li input spiritual energy into it, and the ancient painting seemed to come alive, showing what happened at the beginning of the world.
…
Black, endless darkness.
The black tide swallowed up everything silently, leaving only a human figure.
The whole world was silent, nothing existed, everything was still, until a voice broke the dead silence of the world.
“Stop.”
The figure uttered two words, stopping the erosion of the black tide.
"Disperse."
The black tide disappeared without a trace.
"They are all dead, everyone is dead, only I am the one who survived to the end." The figure muttered to himself, without any joy or sadness.
The man spoke again: "Rules, disappear."
These four simple words have unspeakable power. The rules of the old world disappear completely, even the rules of destruction are no exception.
Today's world is a blank slate, and any idea will become a rule that affects future generations.
"Sure enough, as long as it becomes the only thought, the world can be changed at will." The figure smiled, and everything was as He expected.
"Are you going to revive them as we agreed before? No, as the Heavenly Dao, I have long recognized the greed of living beings. This is why our world was completely destroyed by the rules of destruction. I want to create a world in my mind."
"In the new world, everyone will respect each other, love each other, and there will be no more fighting and disputes. It will be the most beautiful world."
"I want to prove that the so-called rule of destruction is not a threat in my new world."
"I, Taichu, hereby declare that the first rule of the new world is the rule of destruction."
"The embodiment of the law of destruction is the black tide, which can be found in any location and at any scale. It represents disorder."
(What do you think about the extra episode?)
