Chapter 268 Heaven's Will
The one sitting at the top was the [Ancient Human Emperor] Xiao Zhenwu.
In the game, even if the player reveals the identity of Emperor Yong'an and enters the BOSS battle of [Master Hengchang], he will still appear as Emperor Yong'an.
For players, [The Ancient Human Emperor] is just a BOSS title, and does not represent a deeper identity. It is equivalent to [Master Hengchang].
As for Gu Fangchen, he now knew that the real situation was that Lao Deng was using a pseudonym.
Emperor Yong'an is the pseudonym of [Master Hengchang Dao], and [Master Hengchang Dao] is the pseudonym of [The Ancient Human Emperor].
However, the [Master Hengchang] in the middle is somewhat special.
In the Wei Dynasty, [Master Hengchang] is the leader of one of the "Ten Supreme Daos" of the evil cult, the ultimate boss, and the mastermind behind the change of dynasties.
In this "great era of great furnace", it has a literal meaning.
He is the holder of the "Heng Chang" Tao seed and is responsible for the "Heng Chang" Tao.
Gu Fangchen also knew that he was the only descendant of [Master Hengchang] born from the discussion of Taoism. His "time travel" and involvement in the game between the true and false princes were actually planned by Lao Deng.
Their spirit and heart blood were taken away, and he lived in another world for sixteen years before being sent back.
This is the Tao that [Master Hengchang] wants to discuss and the result he wants to verify.
However, Gu Fangchen still had a huge question in his mind.
Because he can now be sure that the "modern society" he lived in in the past is a world created because of himself.
But... even if he is the descendant of [Master Hengchang], he should not have such ability.
This world isn't set up so that cultivation can be passed down through blood ties.
When a person becomes an immortal or an emperor, he can also bless his descendants and ensure that all his relatives and friends will ascend to heaven.
What's more, [Master Hengchang] himself could not create one on his own. At most, he divided a world into two halves, opened up the Yin and Yang realms, and established reincarnation.
——This is because the world originally has two sides, and he just replanned the paths and rules.
He couldn't create the world by himself.
Even Lao Deng himself couldn't do it, so why could Gu Fangchen, his descendant, do it?
Therefore, there must be a step here that Gu Fangchen is not aware of.
It is very likely that it was due to the so-called "discussion of Tao" at the time.
So at this moment, he stood in front of [Master Hengchang], wanting to seek the answer to this question.
The tall man on the dragon throne raised his eyebrows with interest when he heard this and asked:
"What did you want to call me?"
Answering a question with a question... Lao Deng is really not very polite.
Gu Fangchen felt that he seemed to want to test his attitude, but whether it was [Master Hengchang] or [The Ancient Human Emperor], the years they had experienced might not be counted in tens of thousands of years.
The history within this sky is only a small part.
He has restarted and manipulated the history of the present world countless times, making it so similar to the "Honglu Great World".
Gu Fangchen was puzzled by this.
After witnessing all the changes in the world, will he still care about his offspring's attitude towards him?
But then again, how exactly did he produce his offspring... In any case, it couldn't be a normal method.
Gu Fangchen was silent for a moment and said:
"Then I'll call you Xiao Zhenwu. After all, this is your real name."
Xiao Zhenwu didn't mind and laughed:
"I think this name is very good too. When I was just a beggar, I didn't even have a proper name. But I never felt that I was inferior to others, and I couldn't afford to be less than others, so I gave myself this name."
"Now no one knows that there was once a beggar named Xiao Zhenwu. They only know about the Human Emperor Xiao Zhenwu."
He looked at Gu Fangchen meaningfully:
“It can be seen that what a person can become depends on what he thinks he is like in his heart.”
Gu Fangchen twitched the corners of his mouth.
The "once upon a time" that Ultimate Old Deng mentioned was, who knows, a long time ago. Bringing it up now is a bit baffling...
Gu Fangchen didn't think his words were incomprehensible. Xiao Zhenwu probably saw his inner confusion and the mental tribulation he had gone through, and these words were meant to remind him.
But Gu Fangchen's strength at this time has long been able to prove that he has overcome the inner tribulation and has no doubts about his own existence.
It seemed a bit redundant for Xiao Zhenwu to bring it up again at this time.
Gu Fangchen's eyes became a little strange.
It can't be that... he wants to express his concern in this way, right?
Seeing that Gu Fangchen remained silent and ignored him, Xiao Zhenwu also remained silent for a while, then said:
"Forget it... If you have any questions, just ask me."
Gu Fangchen: “…”
Although the person opposite him at this time is the [Ancient Human Emperor] Xiao Zhenwu, he is also the Emperor Yong'an and the [Master of Hengchang Dao].
Trinity, even though the identities are different, the details and habits remain the same.
The most fundamental reason for this is the arrogance of having complete control over the overall situation. He simply disdains to pretend to be flawless.
Because no one can see through his identity.
With his personality, he naturally disdains to disguise himself.
Lao Deng has always been adept at doing things and loves to be witty in his words, but if he suddenly becomes silent and chooses to change the subject.
This means that—
He was embarrassed!
So Gu Fangchen's eyes became even more strange, and he realized that his previous guess was indeed correct.
Lao Deng's attempt to express his concern failed, and he was so embarrassed that he gave up on small talk and could only get straight to the point...
Gu Fangchen found it a little funny and looked around, but there was no stool.
He simply snapped his fingers, and a white plastic stool appeared behind him - the kind of hollow plastic stool with a backrest that you see in food stalls.
He sat down casually and felt that he should have a sword by his side to make it look more atmospheric.
Xiao Zhenwu watched him tinkering with it, his eyes falling on the plastic stool with a look of inquiry or curiosity.
"Is this the product of your world?"
Gu Fangchen nodded.
He stroked the armrest of the plastic chair and asked:
"I have two 'Tao' in me, and they are the reason why I can create that world, right?"
Xiao Zhenwu said:
"Truth and falsehood are the foundation of the world. I separated the two and used the offspring I created with the art of cause and effect as a container to create a mirror."
He stretched out his hand, pointed at Gu Fangchen, and said with a smile:
"That's you."
"One side is true, the other side is false."
Gu Fangchen raised her head and looked at him:
"Where is true and where is false?"
“Wherever you are, wherever you stand, that is the truth.”
Gu Fangchen finally understood.
Why did Xiao Zhenwu only take away his spirit and heart blood, and leave behind his incomplete soul?
He must be on both sides at the same time for the world to be real.
Otherwise, it would be like what he saw when he "died" and returned to modern society: everything stagnated, disappeared, and turned into nothingness.
Gu Fangchen asked again:
"Have you reached any conclusion to your so-called discussion of winning or losing?"
Xiao Zhenwu nodded:
"I think—she won."
Gu Fangchen narrowed his eyes:
"she?"
Xiao Zhenwu laughed, and suddenly there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone:
"Aren't you looking for her and have already found her in the southwest?"
Gu Fangchen was stunned:
"Ning Caiyong?"
Xiao Zhenwu said slowly:
"Or, you can call her—Heaven's Will."
