Chapter 576 That Road, the Road of Time Exile
Su Mu remained silent for a long time in response to the white-browed old man's question.
Then, he looked at the long river and said seriously: "I am just a seeker. In essence, I am a living being, a living person."
"It's normal for a person to have seven emotions and six desires."
"In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether I have weaknesses or not. What matters is whether I can protect the people I want to protect. That's enough."
"Seeking the Tao, seeking the Tao, isn't it just seeking the Tao of one's own heart?"
"If you can't even protect your own heart, then what's the point of practicing Taoism?"
After hearing this, the old man with white eyebrows was silent for a long time.
He understood some of Su Mu's words, but not some of them.
From these words, the old man with white eyebrows felt that the feeling Su Mu gave him was completely different from the strong men he had met before. He was obviously standing very high, but he always kept himself very low from beginning to end.
This is something that the old man with white eyebrows doesn’t quite understand.
But he didn't say it. After all, he had no qualifications and no reason to interfere with Su Mu's thoughts.
After coming to his senses, the old man with white eyebrows smiled and said, "Brother Su is right. It is enough to follow your heart."
"Brother Su, if you really want to find something that can replace the coordinates."
"I know a place where there is a slight possibility."
The old man with white eyebrows hesitated again and again, but finally decided to speak out.
Hearing this, Su Mu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where?"
"That road?" the white-browed old man said slowly, looking at the long river.
"That road?" Su Mu asked with a puzzled look.
Seeing this, the old man with white eyebrows also asked back: "Brother Su, don't you know?"
"Know what? What road?" Su Mu looked puzzled.
What what road? How do I know which road it is?
"It's on this river, but I don't know exactly where it is." The white-browed old man said slowly.
"Please describe the characteristics." Su Mu asked.
"As for the characteristics, the water is black, there are no living creatures in the water, and it is very chaotic."
The white-browed old man replied.
"Haven't you been there?" Su Mu asked.
The white-browed old man shook his head: "I haven't been there."
"That road", the old man with white eyebrows once had the opportunity to go, but he didn't go.
He didn't quite understand where "that road" was or what its meaning was.
However, he heard several speculations.
"That road" seems to be the "extra thing" differentiated from the long river of time over the long years, which means that "that road" should have disappeared.
But for some unknown reason, it was preserved.
Others say that "that road" is the "tail" or "broken roots" differentiated from the long river of time and is not under the jurisdiction of the long river of time.
Because its existence is wrong. It is like a tadpole's tail. When the tadpole grows into a frog, the tail should disappear.
And "that road" is the "tail" of the long river of time. After evolving and taking shape in the long river of time, it should have "disappeared", but it was strangely preserved and became what they call "that road".
Since no one knows how to define that "tail", it can only be referred to as "that road".
If there really is a second coordinate bone in the world, or a substitute that can replace the coordinate bone, it can only exist in "that road".
After hearing the description of the white-browed old man, Su Mu stroked his chin and began to recall.
Black water, no living creatures.
Could it be some polluted water?
"Apart from these, are there any other characteristics?" Su Mu continued to ask.
The white-browed old man shook his head and said, "No, because I haven't been there either. I only know these features."
“However, although there are no living creatures on that road, there are ‘dead’ creatures.”
After hearing this, Su Mu's pupils shrank slightly, and he could not understand what the white-browed old man said.
"What is meant by a 'dead' creature?"
"Soul?"
Su Mu asked.
“No, although I don’t know how to define the creatures living on that road, I can be sure that they are definitely not souls.”
"Those creatures are real, not just souls."
"Actually, I don't know how to explain it."
The white-browed old man spread his hands.
Because "that road" should not exist in the first place, then the creatures living on "that road" should not exist either.
Therefore, the old man with white eyebrows was unable to define the state of those creatures.
They are still alive, but they are not recognized by the long river of time and can only live on that road. Once they enter the long river of time, they will be immediately destroyed by the rules of the long river of time.
Let’s say they are dead, but as long as they live on “that road” they will not be wiped out and they all exist realistically.
He didn't dare to set foot on "that road" easily, because once he entered that road and was contaminated by the breath of "that road", when he returned to the long river of time, he would most likely be judged as "non-existent" by the long river of time, and he would probably be wiped out on the spot.
"That road" also has another name, called "The Road of Time Exile".
What it means is that once you are exiled in the long river of time, once you set foot on that road, you can no longer return to the myriad realms, you can no longer return to the long river of time, and you can only be exiled forever.
Not being able to return to the Ten Thousand Worlds is actually no different from being dead. You are still alive, but there is no meaning in living.
This has created a situation where some people who are being hunted by their enemies and have no way out will escape into the "road of time exile" in order to survive.
Only by escaping into the "Road of Time Exile" can one survive, but one can never return to the Ten Thousand Worlds. However, those people don't care. As long as they are still alive, it is enough.
However, not everyone has the ability to find the "Path of Time Exile". Both strength and luck are indispensable, among which luck is the most important.
Some strong people, when they are at their wits' end, luck comes to them and they find the "path of time exile", and their lives are not destined to end.
Therefore, many of the creatures living on "that road" are those who have nowhere else to go in the Myriad Realms and have fled there. They have one thing in common, which is that they are extremely powerful.
Once, the old man with white eyebrows encountered a dead end, and the Time Exile Path happened to appear in front of him, and he almost escaped into it.
In the end, he chose to face it.
In his opinion, he would rather die openly than live in that way.
The meaning of life is more important than living itself.
But even so, there are countless powerful people in the heavens and all worlds who want to find that path.
Because that road has a more resounding name.
