Chapter 343: Heaven's Way is Forever, Reversing Life and Death, and Rescuing Heaven for Another Life
Gonggong did not engage in a meaningless dispute with the Demon Ancestor and finally retreated.
The White Bone Immortal and the mysterious generals of the Ancient Heaven also followed him, along with the vast number of former members of the Ancient Heaven, and evacuated the vast universe outside the Four Poles Palace.
The world is still dead and quiet, and shock still fills the hearts of many living beings.
The Demon Ancestor stood outside the Four Poles Breathing Palace, glanced inside, then shook his head slightly. His skinny figure disappeared in a flash, and then he appeared directly in the Four Poles Breathing Palace. Even if there were barriers blocking the way, they could not stop his arrival.
The Lord of the Sijixi Mansion and several other restricted area beings all stared at the Demon Ancestor cautiously.
They are very afraid of the person who created the demon race.
The shadow of a famous tree, the Demon Ancestor, in some ways, can be compared with the Emperor of Heaven and the Lord of Free Heaven.
Of course, there are also rumors that the Demon Ancestor was transformed from the Lord of Free Heaven, and there is a deep connection between the two.
"The master will be back soon."
The Lord of the Realm Tomb spoke first, and his voice was low, as if he knew the true relationship between the Demon Ancestor and the Lord of Free Heaven.
"I know."
The Demon Ancestor smiled faintly, not really caring. He did not hide his true appearance, and looked like an old man who was about to die. His face was ordinary, and his expression was even somewhat peaceful. He did not have the ferocious and brutality of the source of all demons.
"After Gonggong is born, the rest of the ancient heavenly court will soon return. The decisive battle is coming, and it may not be the day when the Ninth Epoch ends."
"I have sensed that the Emperor of Heaven has descended. His power is lurking in the dark, and is constantly surging. Soon, it will overwhelm the heavens and radiate to trillions of universes and infinite time and space."
“Time waits for no one.”
The Demon Ancestor looked at Jiang Lan, who was still in the state of "Dao collapse", with a look of inquiry and deep meaning, and said, "The Heart Demon Clan was born in the minds of all living beings. Even the Heart Demon Clan cannot truly defeat the human heart. It is almost impossible to subdue the will of all living beings..."
“But if he can do it, then he will indeed surpass anyone in the past and present. There will be no such existence in the future, and even the Ancient Emperor cannot do such a thing.”
Hearing this, the eyes of all the masters of the restricted areas moved slightly. Even the Demon Ancestor made such an evaluation, which was enough to show how outrageous Jiang Lan's actions were against the will of heaven and against all living beings.
"The Emperor of Heaven is the most powerful being throughout history. In the true sense, no one can defeat him. But variables are often like this. In the impossible future, accidents occur, and then people appear who may surpass the Emperor of Heaven." The Demon Ancestor said again.
The masters of the restricted areas here naturally knew exactly who the variable he was talking about was, and they all turned their eyes to Jiang Lan.
The Demon Ancestor did not show any malice when he arrived, and even intended to protect Jiang Lan.
Those creatures who had other thoughts in secret could only restrain their thoughts at this time.
The rolling Dao light was steaming and enveloping Jiang Lan. The surface of his body was still shining with Dao clouds interweaving. At the same time, there were also clear cracks, and blood was constantly flowing.
Around him, he seemed to be able to see all kinds of living beings, as well as the hustle and bustle of the world. Countless lives finally evolved into a magnificent river of civilization, originating from chaos, the division between clear and turbid, the creation of the world, and then the birth of living beings and the emergence of all races.
The traces of time experienced by the entire heaven and earth, the process of change and evolution of civilizations of all living beings, and the thoughts of countless living beings, intertwined and burst out at this moment, giving birth to a strange and mysterious power.
This power is far-reaching, beyond everything, and indescribable.
Even the Demon Ancestor frowned, his eyes were filled with shock and amazement, staring closely at Jiang Lan's changes, as if he wanted to get a glimpse of the secrets.
The other lords of the restricted areas were amazed, but they also knew that this was a transformation that had never happened before.
If their understanding could be confirmed, perhaps they would gain something else. They all gathered their thoughts and stared at Jiang Lan very seriously.
This situation lasted for half a month. The heavens and all realms were still in turmoil, and the Four Poles Palace was also quiet.
Finally, accompanied by a crisp "pop" sound like the blooming of flowers of the Tao, one lifelike Tao fruit flower after another appeared above Jiang Lan's head. The flowers were crystal clear and bright, with infinite willpower steaming, shining like silver, like a river or an ocean, making him look like a peerless god.
All the wounds were healed and no more blood was shed.
"Did it work?"
"Although the surface injuries have healed, the Dao injuries are still there. It seems that I have failed. It is impossible for the will of all living beings to surrender so easily."
The masters of the restricted areas were all discerning people and could see that Jiang Lan was in a strange condition. Although his surface injuries had healed, he still had some Dao injuries. His life breath was weak and it seemed that he had still suffered a great backlash.
The Demon Ancestor shook his head slightly and sighed, "Sure enough, it's not that easy to succeed."
At this time, Jiang Lan opened his eyes. He seemed to know everything that had happened during this period of time and was not surprised at all about the arrival of the Demon Ancestor.
“It can be said to be a failure, but it is not a complete failure. This road is not easy to walk on, but it does not mean that it is unfeasible,” said Jiang Lan.
Several lords of the restricted areas looked at him in surprise and suspicion, feeling that the aura on Jiang Lan had become very mysterious, with an indescribable sense of vastness, as if it could give rise to all things and encompass everything in the world.
The Demon Ancestor agreed, "The road to seeking the truth is not smooth, it may be bumpy and full of thorns."
"However, you have gained a lot from this, and your cultivation has become more vast and profound. The next time you try, you may gain more. Just like a drop of water wears away a stone, there will always be a day of success."
He addressed Jiang Lan as "fellow Daoist". Even the several masters of the restricted areas in front of him did not receive such respect.
"Next time you try it, it may not be so smooth. This time it was the great god Gonggong who stopped us. Who will it be next time?" Jiang Lan shook his head.
"Maybe the Emperor of Heaven will take action in advance."
When the masters of the restricted areas heard this, their expressions changed slightly.
Such speculation is not without reason. After all, even Gonggong said that the Emperor of Heaven has already come to the world.
But no one knows where the emperor is today, and no one can deduce it.
“If the Emperor of Heaven takes action, the Lord of Zizai Tian will also stop him. Although the Lord of Zizai Tian was seriously injured in the previous war, the Emperor of Heaven is not at his full strength. He still has a long way to go before he can truly reunite.” The Demon Ancestor said. He obviously knew some ancient secrets, so he didn’t have much worries.
"Demon Ancestor, do you know where the master is?"
The Lord of the Boundary Tomb couldn't help but ask at this time, and for the first time his expression showed some urgency.
“I don’t know. He and I do have some connection, but we are not the same person. I have cut off all cause and effect long ago. I am me and he is him. We cannot be confused.” The Demon Ancestor said calmly.
Everyone present was shocked again when they heard this. This was considered as the Demon Ancestor admitting that he was related to the Lord of Free Heaven. Doesn't that mean that the demon race was really born because of the Lord of Free Heaven? Was the Lord of Free Heaven really the culprit of the war that led to the collapse of the ancient heaven and the death of all the heavens?
The Demon Ancestor seemed to know what everyone was thinking at the moment. He smiled faintly and said, "Whether it is true or not, does it really matter now? Light and darkness, yin and yang, immortals and demons have always coexisted and are closely related. Even if there is no Lord of Free Heaven, the demons will appear, and there will be another Demon Ancestor."
"The Great Dao is constant and requires balance. The Dao of Immortality flourishes while the Dao of Demons disappears. The Dao of Man flourishes while the Dao of Heaven disappears. The Emperor of Heaven represents the Dao of Heaven and is the concentration of the power of the Dao of Heaven. If one wants to break this balance, the Dao of Heaven will remain constant, or even break the limit, and one needs to destroy the Dao of Man."
Jiang Lan also said this at this time, seeming to agree with what the Demon Ancestor said.
"Heaven's way will always flourish, but human way will eventually disappear..."
When everyone heard this, they were all moved. Could this be the truth behind the great catastrophe of the heavens? The Emperor of Heaven wanted to realize the eternal prosperity of the Heavenly Dao, so he planned to destroy all living beings?
The Demon Ancestor agreed, "That's right, the Way of Heaven will always flourish, and the Way of Man will disappear. In the ancient times, the Way of Man had actually reached an unprecedented peak and had already threatened the Way of Heaven."
Whether it is the human race, the demon race, or all the races in the heavens, they are actually part of humanity. If the way of heaven does not enter reincarnation, the way of humanity will enter the six paths of ethics, and it will go on and on in a cycle. This is the law.
Even the Emperor of Heaven cannot change this law.
"From this perspective, it is inevitable that the Heavenly Emperor will destroy all living beings. Perhaps the Heavenly Emperor is no longer the Heavenly Emperor who originally established the Ancient Heaven Court. He is no longer the pioneer he once was. He has become a puppet of the Heavenly Dao and a part of the Heavenly Dao."
The Lord of the Boundary Tomb also guessed at this time, and was somewhat shocked.
“Even if the Emperor of Heaven is killed, a second Emperor of Heaven will be born. The cause of the catastrophe in the heavens does not lie with the Emperor of Heaven, but with the way of Heaven, unless humanity disappears forever.” Zang frowned.
"Is it really wrong to destroy humanity and realize the eternal prosperity of heaven's way?"
God, who had never spoken before, suddenly spoke at this moment, with a strange tone in his voice.
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell into deep thought. As humans enter the cycle of reincarnation, their lifespans are limited and they cannot achieve eternal life. Even if one becomes an immortal, there will still be the calamity of the universe.
Essentially speaking, all living beings in this world are part of humanity.
The Heavenly Emperor's destruction of humanity may not necessarily be for the purpose of exterminating all living things and achieving immortality alone.
The Demon Ancestor stared at the Lord of Heaven, as if he saw through his true nature, and said, "You are the Lord of Heaven and the Lord of Free Heaven. When they fought in the long river of time, their blood collided and entangled, and you were born because of the change in the magnetic field of heaven and earth. You should understand some of the thoughts of the Emperor of Heaven."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. It turned out that the Lord of God had such an astonishing origin. No wonder he dared to call himself the Lord of God. He turned out to be a mysterious existence born from the blood entanglement of the Lord of Heaven and the Emperor of Heaven.
Jiang Lan also looked at God thoughtfully, and didn't seem surprised by this.
The Lord of Heaven shook his head and said, "Demon Ancestor, you overestimated me. You should know how powerful the Emperor of Heaven is. Is the body he fought with the Lord of Free Heaven really his complete body? I can't spy on the Emperor of Heaven's thoughts, but I know some of the Lord of Free Heaven's secrets."
Hearing this, even the Lord of the Boundary Tomb suddenly stared at the Lord of Heaven, his eyes flickering with deep meaning.
"That is indeed the Emperor of Heaven, but it is only his present body. His past body is blocked in the past time and space. Once his past body and present body are integrated into one, no one in the heavens will be able to stop him."
"On the day when the ancient heaven is reorganized, the time and space node will be opened in the present world, allowing the past body of the Emperor of Heaven to find the flaw and come back from the other end of the long river of time." The Demon Ancestor then threw out another explosive news.
"What?"
Everyone was shocked, including Buzhouxian, Jiang Ruxian and others.
"Before the great catastrophe of the heavens, in fact, in the depths of time and space, at the other end of the long river of time, a great war broke out that was unknown to the world."
“The Ancestral God of Time and Space and a group of Nine Tribulations Immortals and Innate Chaos Creatures have completely sealed the past body of the Emperor of Heaven in the past time and space. Otherwise, the result of the war among the heavens would not be the destruction of the Ancient Heaven, but another result.”
“The Emperor of Heaven is truly too powerful. Even in his current form, he is enough to make all the gods and immortals in the human world pay a heavy price.” The Demon Ancestor’s tone became a little low.
“The reason why the Ancestral God of Time and Space disappeared, turns out to be like this. The Heart of Time and Space obtained by the Time Clan is actually the heart of the Ancestral God of Time and Space after his death?” Zang seemed to have realized something at this time, with a look of sudden realization.
The Demon Ancestor stared at him and said, "You want to find the Time Clan's treasure, the Heart of Time and Space, through the Lord of the Ancient Amitabha Realm, but this item has always been in the hands of the Time Clan's ancestor. Since he has obtained the Heart of Time and Space, he must have seen through some of the taboos and secrets of the past, and also understood the direction of the future. You want to plot against the Time Clan, but sooner or later you will pay a heavy price."
Hearing the Demon Ancestor mention the "Ancient Amitabha Realm" on his own initiative, Buzhouxian, Jiang Ruxian and others instantly stared at Zang. They knew that Jiang Lan and the Lord of the Amitabha Realm still had an irreconcilable hatred.
However, he did not spend any time looking for the whereabouts of the Lord of the Amitabha Realm.
It turns out that the Lord of the Amitabha Realm was under the protection of Zang, no wonder he hid so deeply.
After being pointed out by the Demon Ancestor, Zang was calm and said, "The Time and Space Ancestor God was one of the earliest ancient creatures born in the chaos. He controlled the avenue of time and space and knew everything. I believe that there is no one who does not covet his power, but before the great catastrophe of the heavens, he had disappeared."
"Fortunately, the Time and Space Ancestor God left two boys behind to pass down the two great ways of time and space, and the inheritance has not been cut off."
The Time Clan and the Space Clan of the Ancient Amitabha Realm were actually founded by two boys of the Ancestor God of Time and Space, who were also the ancestors of the Time Clan and the Space Clan of later generations.
However, now only the Time Clan remains, and the Sky Clan has become the Sky-Devouring Clan, becoming a subordinate clan of the Lord of the Amitabha Realm.
"After the ancestor of the Time Clan obtained the Heart of Time and Space, he opened up a space-time channel and took many tribesmen to seek refuge in an unknown time period. It turned out that he had gained insight into the taboo secrets before the ancient times."
Zang also understood at this moment that this was most likely the order of the Ancestral God of Time and Space. One day in the future, those tribes and strong men who had fled would return to participate in the final decisive battle.
"After the ancestor of the Shi clan returns, I'm afraid I will be the first to be liquidated by him." He then sneered, seeming not to care.
The Demon Ancestor glanced at him, then shook his head slightly, without making any comment.
Jiang Lan smiled faintly. Zang's words sounded like he was targeting the Time Clan and the Space Clan just because he coveted the secret of the Ancestral God of Time and Space. However, many people actually knew about Zang's origins.
However, in this situation, no one pointed it out.
"There is a person in the Sijixi Mansion who has a close relationship with me. I need to take him away."
Jiang Lan then looked at the lord of Sijixi Mansion and suddenly said.
The Lord of Sijixi Mansion was startled, then he looked at Empress Wanyang behind Jiang Lan thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "Since the new emperor said so, then take her away."
Seeing this, Empress Wan Yang was still somewhat confused, wondering why the Lord of the Four Extremes Palace suddenly looked at her. Could it be that this matter was related to her? Jiang Lan did not suddenly have this idea.
When he brought Empress Wanyang to Sijixi Mansion, he knew that there was one person among them who had a deep karmic connection with Empress Wanyang.
In the original plot, the Wanyang Sword Master who offended the Lord of the Wuliang Realm did not die.
A moment later, one of the four caves above the platform suddenly trembled, and then gushed out brilliant light.
A blurry and tall figure, straight as a sword and with a fierce aura, walked out. He was wearing a simple grey robe, had an untidy beard, a resolute face, and messy hair, but his eyes were empty and lacked much spirit.
"Meet the Master..."
After this figure walked out, he knelt respectfully in front of the Lord of Sijixi Mansion.
After seeing this figure, Empress Wanyang was stunned. Her beautiful eyes kept trembling and her pupils fluttered, revealing a deep disbelief. Then two lines of clear tears fell uncontrollably.
At her level, she could easily gather her thoughts, but now her true feelings were revealed.
"Father..." she couldn't help but murmur.
The figure that now appeared in front of her was none other than the Sword Master Wan Yang, who had once illuminated the entire sword world like a comet and created the Wan Yang lineage, a figure that few had surpassed to this day.
At the same time, he is also her biological father.
Hearing Empress Wanyang's mumbling, the gray-robed figure turned around and looked at her. A dim light flashed in his empty eyes, and then he fell silent again. There was no more movement, and he still stood there stiffly.
The Lord of the Four Extremes Xi Mansion explained, "I found him in a broken universe. He was covered in blood, his Dao Fruit was destroyed, and he was almost dead. I used the Four Extremes Origin to nourish him and brought him back to life, but his consciousness had dissipated, and he could only be regarded as a puppet."
"Now he is a guardian of my Siji Xifu."
"Father……"
Hearing this, Empress Wanyang's eyes were filled with more tears and her heart was filled with grief. She called out to her father, trying to awaken his spirit, but Sword Master Wanyang did not respond at all and continued to stand there like a puppet.
Upon seeing this, the other lords of the restricted areas also tried it out and found that it was indeed as the lord of the Sijixi Mansion said.
This is just an empty shell, without any consciousness. Even the fire of the soul is only protected by a faint light and has not dissipated.
In essence, this is just a puppet that looks like Wan Yang Sword Master.
For the first time, an expression of deep sorrow and sadness appeared on Empress Wanyang's usually proud face.
She knew she was powerless to wake her father up, so she could only turn and look at Jiang Lan, her eyes full of pleading.
At this time, Jiang Lan also walked forward and stood in front of Wan Yang Sword Master.
Even though he had lost his consciousness, Sword Master Wan Yang still felt a sense of oppression and threat. Sword intent surged from his body, as vast as a river, rolling over the sky.
"Return to your position."
Jiang Lan didn't say much, but just waved his sleeves, and Wan Yang Sword Master was suddenly unable to move and was bound to the spot.
At the same time, the avenue roared between heaven and earth, and mysterious symbols seemed to run through the past and present, washing the long river of time and flushing every corner of the heavens.
All living beings felt as if they were being swept by an invisible gaze, and it was impossible to escape. They couldn't help but tremble.
All the masters of the restricted areas felt a little uncomfortable, as if their secrets had been discovered at this moment.
The Demon Ancestor couldn't help but feel amazed.
The next moment, the barrier of the Siji Xifu was seen shaking, and specks of light flew in, pouring in from many planes and time, and then sank into the head of Wanyang Sword Master.
In the middle, a broken divine light rose up from the sword ruins in the sword world, broke through the barriers, penetrated time and space, and finally came to the center of the eyebrows of Wanyang Sword Master.
Shua!!! The terrifying sword energy rushed into the sky, as if a peerless swordsman was reviving, fierce and powerful, able to cut through the galaxy and tear apart the universe.
“This method…”
All the masters of the restricted areas were shocked.
Empress Wanyang couldn't help but be stunned, and then she looked at Sword Master Wanyang with excitement and expectation.
"Wanyang..."
"Why are you here?"
A slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded, and a light suddenly flashed in the empty eyes of Wan Yang Sword Master. The originally dull aura disappeared and became sharp.
"Father……"
When Empress Wanyang heard this, she burst into tears of joy.
"Reversing life and death, and taking lives from the heavens, it's breathtaking." The Demon Ancestor couldn't help but sigh.
This kind of method can be said to be a miracle of nature, and it is truly a way of snatching life from the sky.
How vast are the worlds, trillions of universes, infinite time and space, and with just one thought, I can retrieve the soul fragments of Wan Yang Sword Master. What incredible power is this? Friends I haven't seen for many years will come tomorrow. I want to take them to play around for a few days, so I have to take a few days off. I hope everyone will forgive me. In addition, I will sort out the final ending by the way. It will probably be finished in the next few days. It is not a cliché ending. What should be collected later will be collected, and it will be as perfect as possible.
