Somewhere in the universe
"Is Ancestor Hongjun a saint in the last cosmic era?"
A quasi-saint said as he looked at a remnant soul in front of him.
Ten thousand years ago, he participated in the quasi-saint competition, lost, and was seriously injured. He almost lost his life. He took care of himself for many years before he recovered. After that, he gave up practicing and traveled the universe. Unexpectedly, he met a remnant soul of the quasi-saint level in this secret realm.
He knew this remnant soul because before the competition, Ancestor Hongjun and others took action and killed some quasi-saints with the aura of big demons. The aura of this remnant soul was among them.
He easily took down the remnant soul and waited for him to finish his last wish before preparing to kill him. Unexpectedly, the remnant soul told him a shocking secret.
He told the quasi-saint that the universe is an era every once in a while. At the beginning of the era, the universe appears. At the end of the era, the universe is destroyed. All living things will die, but the saints will survive.
And Ancestor Hongjun was a saint in the last cosmic era, and he is still a saint in this era, and the same is true for the other saints.
"Yes, don't you think this is funny? Among mortals, there are people who have become kings, princes, generals and ministers. Are there any special breeds of people who can become saints? Are saints also passed down from generation to generation to one person? Then what are we? Isn't our practice a joke?"
"I'm going to confront Patriarch Hongjun. You come with me."
"I'll go, but it doesn't matter if I die. What about you? Are you a match for a saint? Hongjun wants to kill you. Can you stop him?"
"How is that possible? Patriarch Hongjun is not such a person."
"Haha, I didn't expect that you are still so naive after becoming a quasi-saint. I was also a quasi-saint ten million years ago. There were only six quasi-saints at that time. I was about to become a saint, but Hongjun said that I was a demon and not a candidate for saint, so he killed me.
Do you know what crime he brought me to? It was excessive killing and lack of merit. Tell me, have you killed anyone since you started your Qi Refining Period? Have you really not hurt any innocent people?"
"How is this possible?"
The quasi-saint shook his head. Which immortal cultivator didn't fight for his life? Who hasn't killed people? Who can guarantee that there will be no innocent people involved? Especially in the fights between forces, there are so many innocent people involved.
"But he used this statement to kill me. At first I thought I was wrong, but now I think, haha, it's just a false accusation. What Hongjun wants to do is to let the saints be passed down among the nine of them for generations. They will always be the noblest people in the world. What does the destruction of the universe have to do with them? They are just like sleeping and waking up, and they are still saints."
"This, I don't dare to believe it."
"If you don't believe it, you can go find evidence. There are many quasi-saints who are treated the same as me. You can ask them."
"I will check, but now, get in here."
The quasi-saint snorted coldly, and then cast a spell to put the residual soul into a treasure box.
"I hope this world is not as dark as he said."
The quasi-saint looked into the distance. The amount of information in this residual soul was so large that it was a bit difficult for him to accept.
If it is true as he said, the nine saints are saints in every life, what about them, the book boy who accompanies the young master's maid to study, or a joke that can be ignored?
·········
Tianyu
Lianglong is back, but he did not go into seclusion. He can learn the magic skills of the saints, but now he has to understand many things.
"I don't know much about the 20 million years of the universe catastrophe. Ancestor Hongjun didn't say much, but I didn't expect that the universe catastrophe is related to us."
"Lin Jiang, do you have a feeling that the universe catastrophe will be related to the quasi-saints?"
"Will it?"
"Let's think about it from another perspective. If you are not a saint, but a quasi-saint, no, an ordinary immortal, an ordinary immortal who practices very hard, would you accept that there are only nine saints in the world?"
"Of course I won't accept it. Immortality is immortality, isn't it the original motivation of immortals? From the moment I accepted the practice, everyone said so.
If there is no real immortality in the world, it's fine, but if there is, why can't it be me? "
Lin Jiang said directly. This is very straightforward. It is also the reason why we should worry about inequality rather than scarcity.
It's fine if there is no real immortality in the world, but if there is, why can't it be me.
"Do you think there are many people
in the world who think like you?" "Not many. Most people in the world are mediocre. Immortality is too far away from them. But if you take into account the population base, it's hard to say. Even if it is one in a billion, it is a terrifying data. The Interstellar Alliance under our command alone has a population of more than ten trillion, not to mention those other places. In this competition, there are more than 300 quasi-saints, and we only have a few people."
Lin Jiang said. Most people certainly don't have this ambition, but they can't stand the large base. This is an unsolvable problem.
"So even if it is one in a billion, will there be a quasi-saint among these people?"
"I know what you mean, but can a quasi-saint really destroy the world? "
"Theoretically, quasi-saints are not as good as us, but that doesn't mean they don't have destructive power. Even if they are criminals, their strength is definitely not as good as the official ones. But can you deny the destructive power of criminals?"
"No, then what should we do? Take action in advance?"
"Killing without guilt, what will happen? We are saints."
"So this is the catastrophe, we know it clearly, but we can't stop it, and can only wait passively? "
Lin Jiang frowned. Is this the catastrophe? How could this happen?
"Maybe this is the catastrophe. Wait, I think the catastrophe will begin soon. Maybe it's a process we can't expect."
"When the enemy comes, we will fight. When the water comes, we will block it with earth. Liang Long, don't think too much. Go into seclusion as soon as possible and learn all the magical powers of the saints. Even if it is a catastrophe, we are not afraid. We must protect the heavenly realm so that our people can live happily."
Lin Jiang said. Lin Jiang has heard enough about the catastrophe. He is tired of it.
No matter what kind of catastrophe it is, they are no longer afraid. They have the strength to protect themselves and their families. This is enough.
"I know. If there is a problem, send Cao Ying and the others to the Heavenly Dao Space. The Heavenly Dao Space cannot even enter time and can protect their safety."
"That's not certain. Forget it. I won't say it anymore."
Lin Jiang shook his head. The Heavenly Dao Space is not omnipotent. Lin Jiang knew this.
Even a saint like Lin Jiang is not omnipotent. After all, there are still many paradoxes. For example, asking Lin Jiang to create a stone that he can't lift is a typical omnipotent paradox.
If Lin Jiang can create this stone, he is not omnipotent. After all, he can't lift it. But if he can't create it, then what is omnipotence.
Liang Long went into seclusion, and Lin Jiang continued to live in the Heavenly Domain.
He protected Liang Long in the space for ten thousand years. After ten thousand years away, he also wanted to spend time with his family.
The Heaven Realm also slowly returned to its previous decadent life. After all, the entire world could not produce a tenth saint. Even if it was cultivation, what was the point?
Therefore, even those quasi-saints had already lost their will and began to live a life of drunkenness and debauchery. Lin Jiang did not treat them unfairly, giving them extremely high status, extremely high authority, and abundant enjoyment. As the saying goes, as long as the request was not too abnormal, Lin Jiang would satisfy it.
In this way, day after day passed, and finally another 100,000 years passed. On this day, Lin Jiang and Liang Long were shocked, and the two quickly appeared and looked into the distance.
"Someone provoked the ancestor Hongjun"
"It seems to be the quasi-saint in the competition. I remember what his name was, Ye Fan?"
"It can be seen that it is the name of the protagonist, so arrogant"
Lin Jiang said with a smile. This Ye Fan is really arrogant. He dared to challenge the ancestor Hongjun. This is too awesome. He didn't dare to do it.
