Chapter 514 The Real Plan

"Anyway, I still want to thank the seniors for their protection."

"Your ancestors paid me a price to do that, and I didn't help at all."

"Senior, you are joking."

Chen Zhixing chuckled and bowed to Huayu.

This gift is given in consideration of the protection of Immortal Master Huayu.

The truth is certainly not as Huayu said, that he could not help or not, because as long as Huayu Immortal Venerable said such a word, or even just showed a gesture, it was a huge favor.

Chen Zhixing certainly wasn't stupid enough not to see clearly.

However, if he was asked to take over Huayu's position because of this, Chen Zhixing would not do it.

Of course, some polite words still need to be said.

So after Chen Zhixing stood up straight, he said to Li Er sincerely: "Senior, if you need me to do something in the future, just send me a message. No matter how far away we are, Zhixing will definitely come."

A very technical sentence.

Old man, I am leaving Tianxuan Realm. If you have any requests, please tell me right away. You may not be able to find me if you miss this opportunity.

Huayu smiled happily when he heard that.

After he smiled for a while, he looked at Chen Zhixing again and said:

"I should have told you before your ancestor passed away that I owed him a favor. I value this favor very much, and I, Huayu, am not an ungrateful person. Let's not talk nonsense. Since you are here, just play a game of chess with me."

As he spoke, Huayu had already put down his fishing rod and sat opposite the chessboard.

Li Er really doesn’t care!!!

He doesn't care about anything.

What did these things have to do with Li Er, such as whether Chen Zhixing would take over or not, and whether the Yuhua Xianzong would decline after he left? No matter how much the Yuhua Xianzong had done for him, he had already repaid the debt by suppressing the East China Sea for the sect for a thousand years.

As for some people, they still hope to get more from him.

Then I'm sorry.

Li Er had been spending the first half of his life repaying the debts he owed. Now, with the passing of the old man from the Chen family, the last bit of debt has been transferred to Chen Zhixing. After Chen Zhixing left Tianxuan, there was nothing left for him to miss in the Tianxuan world.

To put it bluntly, favors are just planting a knot in one's heart. Li Er doesn't care what others think, he only cares about whether he has passed this hurdle.

If he can pass, then no matter how big the favor is in the eyes of others, he will have returned it clean.

If he can't get through, then even if someone points him in the direction while he is walking on the road, Li Er will be able to remember it for a thousand years.

If he didn't have such ambition, how could Li Er seize the position of the world's number one person from Yi Miao's hands?

Cool? Very cool.

Is it likable? Why should we let others like us?

Li Er did not live his life for others. If he changed himself because of other people's opinions, wouldn't that be going against Tian Gang!

Facts have proved that Li Er’s thousands of years on the East China Sea were not in vain.

When playing chess, even if Chen Zhixing played black first, he still had to give up his pieces and admit defeat in the middle game.

Even so, Chen Zhixing still felt that the old man opposite him, who did not look old, was trying to please him!

After giving up his pieces and admitting defeat, Chen Zhixing picked up the black pieces one by one, and then smiled bitterly at Li Er, "Senior, you are a great chess player. I am no match for you."

Li Er shook his head when he heard this.

"There is no such thing as a master of chess. It's just that I've gotten older and played more chess. I can memorize all the moves by rote. To be honest, playing chess is the same as practicing. Older people always have some advantages."

"What you said is true, senior." Chen Zhixing nodded. This is a very practical truth.

"Well, now that you've finished this game, you can count it as visiting me." Li Er, who was also cleaning up the chessboard, suddenly said, "As for Ciyun, you don't have to get involved. Yi Miao had already informed me before doing this."

"Senior actually knows this?" Chen Zhixing paused when he heard this, and countless thoughts in his mind began to run on their own.

“Don’t think too much.” As if thinking that Chen Zhixing’s thoughts were too many and would hinder his future cultivation, Li Er added, “This is a grudge between our generation and Yi Miao. In fact, it’s not really a grudge. It’s just that Ciyun was young and ignorant and offended our Holy Lord. In the following years, Ciyun has been hiding in the sect and has never gone out, let alone going to the Emperor’s Peak to bow his head and apologize. Now he is blocked by Yi Miao in this Huanyu Realm. Thousands of years have passed, and perhaps even he himself has forgotten about this matter. But some things don’t disappear just because Ciyun has forgotten them, so this scene happened again.”

"Uh, senior, do you want to say that Saint Master Yi Miao is narrow-minded?" Chen Zhixing replied cautiously.

"What I mean is, if you offend a woman, you must cut it off immediately and completely, otherwise you will get retribution in the future, and perhaps you won't even understand the reason." As he spoke, Li Er looked at Chen Zhixing deeply, and it was unclear whether he was giving a warning or what he meant.

"The junior knows about it." Chen Zhixing was helpless. The melon he was eating actually fell on his body.

"It's good to know, it's good to know."

Li Er shook his head, glanced at the sky and said, "Also, I'm relying on my status as an elder to say something. I heard that you and that guy named Sos are very close."

"That's what happened."

"Don't have too much contact with him."

"oh?"

"That is the source of trouble, a ghost that has not yet recognized its own identity and mission. If you get close to it now, when it understands its mission in the future, its actions will inevitably implicate you."

"Senior seems to know Him very well?"

"I don't really know, but from what he did, I can guess a little."

"Since Senior said so, why do you have such great malice towards Soth?"

"Huh?" Li Er was stunned when he heard that, then he looked at Chen Zhixing and laughed, "I just said you were smart, but now you forget that you are smart. Well, since you want to know, I will tell you everything."

"Junior is all ears."

"There is no need to listen attentively. It is a very simple truth. The reason why the Universal World exists to this day is not because He, Sos, is the destroyer but has taken the opposite stance, but simply because it is not yet time for the Universal World to be destroyed."

Chen Zhixing: “???”

"What do you mean, senior?" Chen Zhixing didn't understand and could only look at Li Er, hoping to learn something from this rare senior who had a good impression of him.

"The world has a lifespan, and it is very long. It is beyond the control of cultivators like us. Even the most powerful cultivators, or even immortals, dare not say that they can have the honor of witnessing the birth and death of a world."

“.” Makes sense, but it’s nonsense.

"But have you ever heard anyone say that the World Tree should have the same lifespan?" Li Er felt both amused and annoyed when he said this: "It's just a tree, not a real world. Its origin has a fixed number. And it really means that if you allow you to plunder some so-called substances from the outside world, you can extend its lifespan?"

Chen Zhixing: “!!!”

He really hadn't thought about this! "The Universal World, after all, is still the World Tree. These later additions are just a bunch of debris hanging on the World Tree. No matter how much you pile up, what good will it do to its origin? When its huge roots are completely withered and no longer absorb energy from the outside star sea, even if you bring in tens of thousands of spirit stone veins, can it support the endless intake and discharge of all the creatures in the world?"

“.”

"It's just some useless work, just to give him some psychological comfort. When the roots of the World Tree in the Universal World are completely dead and the entire world is facing deficits, what do you think your friend named Soth will do?"

"Senior." Chen Zhixing felt a little tired.

"All he can do is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Otherwise, guess why his priesthood is to be in charge of death."

Having said this, Li Er felt that there was no need for him to continue.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

He felt that Chen Zhixing was a smart man, and a top-notch smart man who could understand things at a glance.

As it turned out, Li Er's guess was correct.

At this moment, Chen Zhixing was indeed sweating profusely.

If the world no longer absorbs and releases energy from the outside world, then can the universal world still be considered a world of cultivation?

Yes or no?

The answer is obvious.

yes.

Because there is still a sufficient population here, it has its own ecological cycle, it is a plane with a complete system, and there are countless believers who trust Soth.

These things ensure that even if the energy of the universe withers in the future, it will not directly turn into a meteorite in the sea of ​​stars.

But is it really so? When that day comes, all South can do is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

Open source is easy to understand, it is to plunder from the outside world, and this is exactly the idea that Chen Zhixing gave to South.

As for saving money Since the income cannot keep up with the expenditure, then we can only cut off part of it, or most of it!

But if most of the things that consume spiritual energy are "throttled", then can the universe still be considered a world at that time?

What is the essential difference between it and any meteorite in the endless sea of ​​stars? 'So, the reason why Soth was defined as the final god of death was not that he had to destroy the entire universe with his own hands when he was born. If he did that, Soth would have slaughtered a large number of people who consumed spiritual energy, which would have reduced the burden on the universe. However, it is precisely because of his efforts to maintain the normal operation of the entire universe that he has increased the consumption of the universe's origin, which is accelerating the destruction of the universe.'

"So, this is the ultimate god of death, the culprit for destroying the world, and what Soth is doing happens to be in line with the job given to him by the world?"

Chen Zhixing thought this was ridiculous! A natural god of death who thought he was going against the law to save the market, but in the end he was still carrying out his mission.

And in this process, He also gained the support of almost all living beings in the world . Chen Zhixing couldn't understand it.

Killing is not enough, is it necessary to use such a soft knife to pierce the heart? After a long silence, Chen Zhixing finally spoke:

"So, senior, according to your calculations, how long can the Universal World last?"

"Dead."

"What?" Chen Zhixing widened his eyes when he heard that, feeling unbelievable.

"Why are you so surprised? The World Tree is dead. Otherwise, how do you think Soth was born? He himself was condensed by the remnant consciousness after the World Tree died. Otherwise, do you really think that after a group of gods fell, what kind of mess would be born?" Li Er was speechless when he said this: "You are a Taoist master. For example, if you die, what do you think will be born in your body? Won't they all be directly recycled by the Heavenly Dao and become part of the law?"

"Then why is the universal world still swallowing and spitting out the outside world?" Chen Zhixing still found it incredible.

"Go catch a fish in the sea."

"?"

"Give it a knife, peel off its skin, and throw it into the frying pan, it will still jump around, but do you think the fish is still alive at that time?"

".Dead but not stiff yet?"

"Yes, it has been dead for more than 20,000 years. But for the World Tree, these 20,000 years are the time when it has not yet become rigid. As long as its roots have not been completely destroyed and it has not yet become rigid, it can still mechanically extract energy from the sea of ​​stars."

"So how long can this process last?"

"I don't know. Maybe three to five years, maybe a hundred to ten years, maybe it can still last for tens of thousands of years, or maybe it will completely wither in the next moment. It's hard to say. But according to the calculations of the old guys in the sect, it should be very soon, so it will descend to the world this time and Yi Miao will go out this time."

Immortal Venerable Huayu spoke very frankly, and pointedly stated that this descent of the Huanyu Realm and the Tianxuan Realm was planned by the three holy places, in order to plunder a final batch of the most precious resources from the Huanyu Realm when the Huanyu Realm was about to die but not yet dead.

Among these, the divine powers hunted by Yi Miao are naturally the most important.

If we look at what Yi Miao did to Ciyun from this perspective, it doesn't seem so excessive.

The universe is about to be destroyed. After the world is destroyed, the laws of the universe will collapse, and the godhead, as the embodiment of the laws, will naturally disappear as well.

By then, Ciyun will wake up, and will have thrown off the influence of the Great Lord of Fire in the Universal World, leaving only some understanding of the laws.

In fact, this might be a good thing for Ciyun! But the process was really painful.

After figuring it all out, Chen Zhixing felt his scalp tingling.

really.

None of these old guys who have lived for thousands of years and are still in power are good people. If they really start to scheme, a newbie like him really can't be outsmarted by them.

There is no way, the disadvantage is too obvious.

They started planning their strategy before you were born, and have been planning for thousands of years. You are just a little kid who is not even a fraction of their age. Why should you play against them on their chessboard?

In fact, if someone hadn't deliberately reminded you, you might never know that you are actually a chess piece on the chessboard for the rest of your life. "So, according to your opinion, is there still hope for the Universal World?"

"It's too late to save him. Take the time to deal with the aftermath."
