Shen Qian looked at the man in white, his eyes inexplicably becoming moist.
The man in white was none other than Gao Wenyuan, who looked countless times younger, and the sigh before sinking stemmed from... his inability to determine whether his teacher had encountered some misfortune.
Perhaps, apart from this memory-like illusion, he will never hear Lao Gao's voice again.
"Your level of understanding is not yet reached, so there is no need for you to understand now."
The man in blue spoke gently, “I want you to enter the mortal world and establish a family, to be passed down through generations in the name of ‘Balancing Time and Space,’ but you must withdraw from it, sever all ties, and wait for that day to come.”
How can I tell when that day has come?
Gao Wenyuan solemnly agreed and then asked.
"The rise of the human race is unstoppable, but if all races discover that only the human race has the possibility of 'perfection', they will surely destroy the human race at all costs. You need to tell the human race leader in advance that although the 'Original Land' is a dead land, it also contains a glimmer of hope."
The man in blue sighed, "When the universe is restored and spiritual energy reappears, that will be the day you are born."
“I’ve got it.” Gao Wenyuan nodded.
"During this time, you only need to do one thing."
"Please go ahead, teacher."
"Search for the 'Creation Jade Disc'."
"'The Jade Disc of Creation'?" Gao Wenyuan exclaimed in astonishment. "But legend has it that this object shattered when Pangu created the world..."
“Not bad, but there are still fragments to be found. We don’t need many, just one fragment will suffice.”
The man in blue waved his hand and said, "Go, it's time for me to face my tribulation."
Upon hearing the words "calamity," Gao Wenyuan's eyes turned red, but he still said nothing, only kneeling on the ground and kowtowing heavily.
"Wait." Just as Gao Wenyuan was about to leave, the man in blue called him back. He then looked at the little snake on his shoulder with affection. "Little Qing is blessed with good fortune and may be able to reincarnate. If you can find her when you are born, you can take her under your wing and teach her on my behalf... It can also be considered as leaving a legacy for my demon race."
With a sigh from the man in blue, the scene before them suddenly froze, darkness surged in like a tide, but quickly receded again, transforming into a new scene.
...
This is a spacious, circular rooftop terrace covered in lush green grass, where cats and dogs roam freely.
"The top floor of the Tower of Babel?"
Shen Qian was taken aback for a moment, then looked around. Below the Tower of Babel, a new city was rising from the ground, with construction sites bustling everywhere.
This is... Jingcheng from two hundred years ago?
Shen Qian suddenly realized that the catastrophe of the spiritual energy revival had swept the globe, destroying most cities in the disaster, and this was clearly a time for reconstruction.
Then, Shen Qian saw the two men drinking together on the edge of the rooftop.
One was dressed in a long white suit, and the other in a white long gown; both were equally elegant and refined.
Gao Wenyuan and the Prince of Jiangling.
Shen Qian subconsciously walked over, and the two people's conversation reached his ears.
"Is the time coming?"
Gao Wenyuan asked.
"Yes, the White Emperor has entered the starry sky to pursue the Buddha's trail. If the two of them join forces, even 'she' will have to be cautious."
The Prince of Jiangling nodded. “This is the best time to conceal the secrets of heaven and forge the ‘seed of fire’.”
"Fire?"
Shen Qiantong shrank back, never expecting to hear this word again from the King of Jiangling, and that "she" had also referred to herself in this way.
Immediately, Shen Qian saw Gao Wenyuan flip his wrist and take out an inconspicuous white jade fragment.
The Prince of Jiangling accepted the white jade fragment with utmost solemnity.
"How confident are you?" Gao Wenyuan asked after the Prince of Jiangling had put away the white jade fragments.
"Half and half," King Jiangling said with a smile. "To incorporate the characteristics of all the Emperor-level powerhouses, no one knows what kind of mutations will occur in this fragment of the 'Creation Jade Disc'... But if even I can't succeed, then probably no one else can."
"If we lose, but have done our best, then we can only say that the human race deserves to perish," Gao Wenyuan said calmly.
"You old fogies have such a good mentality!" King Jiangling laughed heartily. "But I'm unwilling to accept it. This revived new world was created by my own hands; how can I let it perish so easily? It's just a pity..."
"What's a pity?"
"Including the Heavenly Emperor, your teacher Demon King, White Emperor, Buddha Venerable, and myself, there are only five people. The original 'Creation Jade Disc' was divided into seven. If the human race had another Emperor-level expert, it would be considered complete."
The Prince of Jiangling sighed, "But now, there is always a slight regret."
"Nothing in this world can be perfect. Besides, this is just a starting point. Whether it will succeed depends on the person who uses it."
Gao Wenyuan smiled faintly.
"This matter will require Wen Yuan's attention." The Prince of Jiangling nodded and smiled. "In terms of education, no one in the world can surpass you... But have you already chosen an ideal candidate?"
“Let’s wait.” Gao Wenyuan looked down at Jingcheng, his gaze deep. “What I’m looking for is not a genius.”
"What is that?" King Jiangling asked in surprise.
"You'll understand when you see him in the future."
Gao Wenyuan gave a meaningful smile.
...
All the images shattered with a crash, and Shen Qian was instantly jolted awake.
He stood there, stunned, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
The spark... is equal to the system?
I see.
He was absolutely certain that these two fragmented images were prompts from the system, telling him about the system's origins.
Even though I had already guessed before the sinking, I still didn't expect that the system's birth would come from a plan that spanned millions of years.
Without a doubt, the blue-robed man with the mark on his face was the demon king whom Shen had never seen before, and he may have already foreseen something, and all of this started from him.
