Seeing Master Zishan so surprised, Du Qian laughed out loud and immediately told him everything about the upper realm.

After hearing this, Master Zishan widened his eyes with mixed feelings.

"You mean, the immortals, gods and Buddhas with names in this world are actually the incarnations of the great powers in the upper world. Sun Wukong caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace and killed a large number of immortals, gods and Buddhas, which led to the disappearance of the immortals, gods and Buddhas in this world."

"But that's not right. There is also a Sun Wukong in this world. The Sun Wukong in the upper world should not have been born at that time, right?"

Looking at Master Zishan who was full of doubt, Du Qian said with a smile: "Who told you that all gods are incarnations!"

"The so-called three thousand worlds are just an imaginary number. The real number is like the grains of sand in the Ganges, infinite and endless."

"Among these billions of small worlds, not every world is controlled by the upper realm. The world you traveled through was probably discovered by the upper realm during the Conferred God War more than a thousand years ago."

"Since then, many well-known gods and immortals have been quietly replaced by the powerful beings in the upper realm. But at the same time, there are also many powerful beings who disdain to do such things. Therefore, there are many independent individuals with the same name, surname and experience in this world."

"...Is that so?" Master Zishan frowned and retorted, "But when the gods disappeared, the Fighting Buddha of my world also disappeared along with the immortals and Buddhas. How do you explain this?"

"The Hidden Tribulation of the Gods... this name is quite appropriate!"

Du Qian was amazed, and then said with a smile: "This is easy to explain."

"People in the upper realm use the small world as a deduction of the future and a simulation of the catastrophe. In the words of our later generations, it is a role-playing game."

“So, most of the gods who came to incarnate played their roles faithfully. Some even sealed their memories and fell into disaster completely in order to deduce better.”

"Among the many major forces in the upper world, the one that likes to do this kind of thing the most is the Western Heaven Buddhism."

At this point, Du Qian paused, looked at Master Zishan who seemed to be thinking deeply, and asked, "In your previous life, you must have heard about the conspiracy theory about the real and fake Monkey King on the Internet, right?"

"For example, the monkey that was beaten to death on Lingshan Mountain was not the Six-Eared Macaque, but the real Sun Wukong..."

Master Zishan nodded solemnly: "Indeed, I have heard of it."

Du Qian laughed and said, “This conspiracy theory is naturally nonsense in the upper world, but in the small world, it is very likely to be true.”

"For some reason, Monkey King in the upper world has somewhat escaped the control of Buddhism. His journey to the West was not going smoothly. While Buddhism was making plans in the upper world, it could only turn its attention to these billions of small worlds."

"As far as I know, they once laid out the myriad worlds under the leadership of Tathagata, trying to consolidate the fortune of Buddhism through the journey to the west of the heavens and myriad worlds, so that the journey to the west plan of the upper world can be implemented smoothly."

"In order to achieve this goal, Buddhism will naturally use every possible means."

"Stories like this, where the Six-Eared Macaque replaces Monkey King's journey to the West, happen from time to time in various small worlds."

"The Monkey King in your world may not be the real Monkey King. He may be the Six-eared Macaque, or he may be a Buddhist master who has come down to earth to play the role. Anyway, for Buddhism, the monkeys in the small world are not important."

"Their only goal is to complete the journey to the west..."

Hearing Du Qian's words, Master Zishan was shocked and couldn't calm down for a long time.

After a long while, he said with a complicated expression: "So, in the eyes of the great powers in the upper realm, the small world is just a chessboard and a game?"

Du Qian sighed and said, "That's about right. At least that's what Buddhism does. Although there are also such cases in Heaven and Hell, they are more restrained than Buddhism. For example, Yang Jian and Nezha, whom you are familiar with, have never done such a thing."

"In all the heavens and worlds, all Erlang Shen and Nezha are independent individuals and have nothing to do with them in the upper realms."

Master Zishan frowned and asked, "Why did Erlang Shen and Nezha disappear as well?"

Du Qian shrugged and said, "Who knows? Maybe he was transferred to another world to fill the gap."

"Although the Heavenly Court does not often infringe upon others' status, it has the strictest view of hierarchy. If the Heavenly Court of the Lower Realm is discovered by the Upper Realm, it will definitely not escape the fate of being governed by the Heavenly Court of the Upper Realm..."

Master Zishan nodded, and said with a complicated expression: "I see."

Du Qian smiled and said, "After saying so much, I haven't told you my identity yet, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Master Zishan became more spirited and stared at Du Qian closely.

Du Qian said leisurely: "Since you have met me, you should understand that you are not the chosen one."

"There are many travelers in the billions of worlds in the mythical multiverse. Even in the most powerful upper realm, there are travelers. The most powerful one among them is the one who sent me to this world..."

"Wait!" Master Zishan widened his eyes and couldn't help asking, "What did you say? Were you sent here?"

Does this mean that there are a large number of time travelers, and that they have even formed a scale and organization in the upper realm?

Master Zishan stared with his eyes wide open, feeling that the three perspectives he had formed over the past four hundred years were rapidly collapsing.

Du Qian laughed loudly: "Of course, haven't you noticed that my cultivation level is only similar to yours, but I can command Brother Yi and even ignore the heaven in this world."

"If I didn't have a backer behind me, how would I dare to do this?"

At this point, Du Qian's expression straightened, and he said in a proud tone: "To tell you the truth, the person behind me is the Emperor Taihuang of the North Pole of Ziwei in the upper world!" Emperor Ziwei, one of the Four Imperial Gods!

A big shot of this level is actually a time traveler? !

Master Zishan widened his eyes, once again shocked by the strong presence of this traveler from the upper realm.

After digesting this heavy news, Master Zishan showed a complicated expression: "So, this Banbuduo is actually the territory of Ziwei Palace?"

Du Qian shook his head: "No, Banbuduo is the property of Jinxia Cave in Yuquan Mountain. The person behind it is Erlang Shen's master, Yuding Zhenren, a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun..."

Master Zishan heard the hidden meaning and couldn't help asking, "Is he also a time traveler?"

Du Qian smiled and nodded, "Yes!"

“…”

Master Zishan's eyes looked a little dull.

He is indeed not the chosen one!

They also traveled through time, but Jade Ding Zhenren not only traveled to the upper realm, but also ascended to heaven in one step and became the direct disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Another big guy was even more outrageous. He directly replaced Emperor Ziwei and became one of the Four Imperial Gods. He also gathered many time travelers and formed a scale and organization in the upper realm.

In comparison, he, Master Zishan, seemed a little embarrassed.

Not only does he travel to the underworld, but he also starts out as an orphan who turns from a rock into a spirit.

After practicing hard for a lifetime, he didn't even know the secrets and truth behind the world. After finally becoming a powerful person, he was stabbed in the back because he was carrying a treasure and was forced to be reborn in Nirvana.

If I hadn’t inexplicably obtained a system after my rebirth... Yes, I still have a system!

There was a gleam in Master Zishan's eyes again, as if he had found the confidence of being the chosen one.

At this moment, Du Qian suddenly slapped his head and asked curiously, "By the way, I almost forgot to ask, what system did you activate?"

"……Um?"

Master Zishan was stunned.

Du Qian thought he was still digesting the information and hadn't reacted, so he patiently repeated, "I asked you what system it is."

“……?!!”

Master Zishan widened his eyes and looked at Du Qian in horror.

Du Qian was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Why are you reacting so strongly? We are all time travelers, so who doesn't have a system?"

Who doesn’t have a system… System…

Du Qian's seemingly casual words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Master Zishan hard on the head.

He stared at Du Qian in a daze, and was dizzy for a long time before he came to his senses and looked at Du Qian with a complicated expression.

"You...you also have a system?"

Hearing the difficult words of Master Zishan, Du Qian blinked and said frankly: "Of course, my system is an information magic system, you can understand it as those abnormal things."

"You know, the kind that looks outrageous but is actually even more outrageous."

"The magical powers I drew from the system are similar to abnormal effects. Among them, my favorite is [Strongly Compensate for Weaknesses]. Don't be fooled by its simple name, the magical power has extraordinary effects!"

"As long as I designate a person, I can take his strongest points and use them to supplement myself."

"When I was fighting Sun Wukong in that small world, I stole his indestructible body and fought him for three hundred rounds. That battle was so intense that the sky was dark and the sun and moon lost their light..."

Du Qian was still enthusiastically boasting about his former glory, and paid no attention to the dejected-looking Master Zishan standing next to him.

After telling the story of his battle with Sun Wukong, Du Qian ended with regret: "It's a pity that the information power drawn by the system can only be used in the small world I traveled through. Otherwise, I would directly designate the Three Pure Ones and prove the great way with them..."

Immortal Zishan came back to his senses and asked in astonishment, "Daoyou Du, so you are also a traveler from a small world?"

Du Qian smiled and nodded: "That's right."

He was born as a traveler from a small world, but now he has become a member of Ziwei Palace. Doesn't this mean...

Master Zishan was in high spirits, staring at Du Qian closely, and asked nervously, "So, why did you go to the lower world this time..."

Du Qian smiled slightly and said leisurely: "Of course, we are looking for a time traveler and inviting him to join the Ziwei Palace!"
