"I'm not dumb, why can't I speak?"

The old turtle lay down again, motionless, only moving its mouth twice.

The little cow asked curiously: "What do you mean by what you just said?"

Seeing that the old turtle had closed his eyes and seemed to be returning to a motionless state, the little cow hurriedly said: "Don't be so ruthless, have you ever drunk my milk?"

The peacock beside him also hurriedly said: "Yes, have you ever eaten my eggs!"

Hearing this, the old turtle lazily opened his eyes.

It said, "In the last life, the Great Dao was fighting. If it failed to completely purify the unknown, it would be considered a loss. Because when the unknown disaster resurfaces, no one will be able to control the unknown. So at the last moment of the last life, the Great Dao took a path that no one could imagine. This is a desperate path, which contains endless risks."

Jin Long and others widened their eyes. The old turtle's words shocked them.

Jin Long couldn't help but say, "Old Turtle, you know so many things. Could it be that... you have lived from the last life to the present?"

The willow branches of the willow god flew, and suddenly there was a wave of fluctuations.

She seemed to have some memory awakening, and she was surprised and happy and said, "You... you are the God of Time?"

The old turtle did not deny it.

All of a sudden, everyone took a deep breath.

"The Turtle of Time, walking in time and space, growing in the long river of time, leaving no trace, and at the same time, the supreme being that guards the long river of time! It's you?!"

The peacock flapped its wings and flew to the old turtle's shell, revealing the secret in disbelief.

The legend of the Turtle of Time is engraved in their memory from birth, which is very strange, because this legend has never been confirmed, but it has been passed down from generation to generation and cannot be erased.

This memory has long been sealed in the deepest place by them, and they didn't expect to awaken at this time.

The Turtle of Time, guarding the power of time and controlling the past, present and future, is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first divine beast, and it actually exists!

No wonder it is so lazy, not even willing to move, because if it moves, it will be enough to stir up the torrent of time and space, causing immeasurable impact. It has guarded the long river of time for countless years, like a statue, born to be quiet!

"It really is you, my master once fought side by side with you."

The voice of the God of Willow came again. She thought of the battle that year, because it was so impressive that she could still recognize the God of Time.

The golden dragon said in shock, "How come even you..."

"Back then, that madman integrated himself into the Tao and wanted to go against the flow of time, and I was the first to suffer."

The old turtle said helplessly, and then said, "I thought I would die, but I didn't expect that I was saved by the master. How many people of that generation are still alive?"

Its tone was full of sighs, seeing through the vicissitudes of time.

The little cow widened its eyes, "Then the master is... the Tao?"

"Yes, or maybe not, I don't know. This is a road that has never been walked. The Tao is invisible. Even the Tao itself can't explain it. Who can define it?"

After the old turtle finished speaking, he closed his eyes again, as if petrified, motionless.

Jin Long and the others knew that it would not move no matter how they called it, so it was no use.

The willow god's willow branches were flying, and a cold voice came out with the breeze, "No matter whether the master is a great way or not, he is obviously trying to reunite the power of the protector of the way. He wants to reproduce the power of the last life. Even if he failed in the last life, I believe that the master will not fail in this life!"

"Moo, Senior Liu said it well!"

The big cow called loudly and said, "Daughter, hurry up and produce milk with me, and do your best for the master!"

"Moo"

at the same time.

Yang Jian had already walked to the gate of the courtyard and said respectfully, "Excuse me, is the Holy Lord at home?"

"Squeak."

Xiaobai opened the door and let Yang Jian in.

He bowed and said, "Greetings to the Lord Saint, Fairy Daji, and Fairy Fire Phoenix."

"Huh? True Lord Erlang is here, please take a seat." Li Nianfan greeted him with a smile.

He was a little surprised. Usually, people from the Heavenly Palace would come in groups. It was rare for someone to come alone. He didn't know why Yang Jian came.

Oh, he suddenly remembered that the little fox had gone out with them and hadn't come back yet. He

immediately asked, "How is the little fox? Hasn't he come back yet?"

Yang Jian replied, "The little fox is stuck in a chess game and hasn't gotten out yet."

Stuck in a chess game?

I didn't expect that there are chess masters out there who can make the little fox so happy that he doesn't want to leave.

Li Nianfan nodded and asked, "Then I wonder why Erlang Zhenjun came here?"

Yang Jian said respectfully, "Sir, I have a question that I can't figure out, so I came here to ask you to solve it."

"Oh? Tell me first."

Li Nianfan was slightly stunned. He was curious about what questions Erlang Zhenjun would ask, and at the same time he was prepared. If he couldn't answer, it would be embarrassing.

"I heard a story about a monk who wanted to resurrect his lover after his lover died..."

Yang Jian slowly told the story of Chu Kuangren. During the narration, his brows were furrowed, and it was obvious that he was still struggling with this question.

They were trapped in the cycle set by Chu Kuang Ren. Although they escaped, they were still affected. If they could not get rid of their doubts, they would sooner or later breed inner demons. This was the brilliance of Chu Kuang Ren. Few people who entered the altar could walk out.

"Sir Saint, I don't know whether this is right... or wrong."

"Defying the will of heaven to save people..."

A trace of deep thought flashed across Li Nianfan's eyes. He never expected that he would hear such a bloody story. Moreover, why did Erlang Shen not go to cultivate immortality but start thinking about life?

He saw that Yang Jian's eyes were full of curiosity, and smiled and said, "The most harmful thing in this world is not ruthlessness, but biased love. How many people fight, possess, control, and entangle in the name of love. It is better to forget each other and let nature take its course. Many times, the greatest mercy is ruthlessness and equal treatment. If the strong can resurrect their relatives, how unfair is it to the weak?" "

As the saying goes, heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as reeds and dogs. The way is ruthless and treats everyone equally. This is exactly the fairest. For personal gain, defying heaven and changing fate, causing chaos, may be a hero from a personal perspective, but from a righteous perspective, it is a devil's path."

“Once the Tao has its own thoughts, its slight preference will cause the imbalance of heaven and earth, and the people of this world will suffer.”

Yang Jian’s pupils shrank slightly and he stood there for a moment. Then he stood up and bowed, saying, “I understand. Thank you, Lord Saint, for clearing up my doubts.”
