Chapter 231

"Tuzi?" Diwu asked, "What are you talking about?"

In the range of the Taoist net, the rule of "calling without response" has been temporarily lifted. Diwu heard Yu Tu suddenly call "Senior Qilin", but no sound was leaked after that. Diwu looked carefully, but felt that Yu Tu and Qilin became blurry in his eyes, like the picture seen by a person whose consciousness has dispersed and cannot be focused.

He suddenly felt a little uneasy: "Tuzi! What are you asking Senior Qilin?"

Yu Tu was clearly right beside him, but Di Wu reached out his hand but caught nothing, as if there was another layer of space within the range of the Taoist net.

Diwu felt his mind becoming increasingly chaotic, as if a person who was extremely tired was about to fall into a sweet dream. He tried to resist, but ended up in failure.

Di Wu fell into a coma, and Xun Ruowang also fell into a deep sleep. Within the range of the Taoist network, only Yu Tu was still awake.

Qilin was still staring at him, and the feeling of being seen through became stronger and stronger, as if he was surrounded by countless searchlights, illuminating every secret and every little thought of his.

Qilin, no, it should not be called Qilin now, it should be called the consciousness of heaven and earth. His voice cannot distinguish between men and women, old and young, and what he conveys is not even words, but a concept that can only be understood by the mind.

He said: [Yes.]

Yu Tu's understanding of "The Language of Mountains and Seas" is deeper than anyone else in the outer world. After eliminating all the impossibilities, no matter how bizarre the remaining answer is, it will only be the correct answer.

Tianyan is not Qilin, but the consciousness of heaven and earth, but Qilin is not completely not Tianyan.

It seemed a little confusing to understand. Seeing that the consciousness of heaven and earth had no intention of being a riddle teller, Yu Tu quickly seized this opportunity to continue asking:

[Is the predecessor of Qilin also Tianyan?]

[yes.]

Yu Tu understood instantly!

He was saying how could the consciousness of a world be so "alive", recording their dark history, skillfully handing out knives to people, and acting as a mysterious mystery teller - it makes sense that a part of Tianyan is not the consciousness of heaven and earth!

The second question was also answered, and Yu Tu was greatly encouraged. He immediately asked: "The voice that appeared in my dream on the day I signed the inheritance agreement, was it you?"

He entered the main storyline of the comic book "Speaking of Mountains and Seas" and became the most popular character. After the barrier between the inner and outer worlds was completely broken, he raised his arm and led mankind to overcome the disaster. It still seems incredible when I think about it now.

The Consciousness of Heaven and Earth is quite honest, He said: [Yes.]

After getting a definite answer, the calmness on Yu Tu's face suddenly disappeared, and tears welled up in his eyes for no apparent reason.

It has been just over a year since he took on the task, but the double pressure, both psychological and physical, has not gradually decreased with the passage of time. With one event after another, Yu Tu's stress is increasing day by day.

Whether it is the vest or the original body, they are all desperately absorbing knowledge and dare not slack off. Yu Tu is afraid that because his reserves are not enough, he will not be able to save people in times of danger, and he will disappoint others' expectations when they ask for help.

The more people believed in Buyehou's identity and his strength, the heavier the burden on his shoulders became. He had no one to vent his pressure to, so he could only digest and resolve it silently.

Sometimes when Yu Tu saw himself being so carefree in comics, he would feel jealous. In comics, there were always more powerful people leading the way in everything, and he just needed to be a little tea tree seedling that was free from worries after going through all the hardships.

What a happy life indeed.

Yu Tu asked the question that had been weighing on his mind for a long time: "Why did you choose me?"

Why would such an ordinary and unremarkable life be chosen?

[Future, present, past.] He said, [You choose yourself.]

Yu Tu looked up at the consciousness of heaven and earth, and suddenly his eyes could no longer hold back his tears, and tears fell one by one from his eye sockets: "After the barrier was broken, there were so many disasters, so many people's destinies - that was not a game, not a comic, that was life. The world, the world is experiencing disasters all the time, and I can't save them. I can't save everyone, and I won't be able to save everyone in the future..."

He shed tears quietly, not even aware of what he was saying. His words were jumbled and disorganized. He didn't know what he was crying about. Was he crying about his pressure, his guilt, or his powerlessness... or maybe more.

I had clearly prepared to maximize my profits when I threw out my chips, I had clearly prepared to have a confident back-and-forth with the consciousness of heaven and earth, and I had clearly thought of both smooth and unsuccessful plans...but nothing could compare to the sudden surge of emotions.

———He messed up a good situation again.

Yu Tu wiped his tears with his hands, but it seemed as if there were two faucets in his eyes. The harder he tried, the more violently the tears flowed.

The consciousness of heaven and earth was staring at him silently. In this emotionless gaze, Yu Tu suddenly felt a little embarrassed and awkward.

Seeing his current state, will the consciousness of heaven and earth regret choosing him?

He is timid, nervous, sensitive, and indecisive, and is not a good candidate. Saying that he chose himself may just be an excuse to comfort him. Qilin is also a part of the consciousness of heaven and earth. Perhaps this is the case, and the consciousness of heaven and earth can comfort people?

If he really chose himself, then his past self must have been much more powerful than his current self.

Yu Tu was lost in thought, and suddenly he recalled what the little fox said after he came out of the Void Gate that day.

It says——

【The most important component of a person is not the soul. 】

【The big tea tree...is memory.】

If he was Mr. Yuchuan, Jiamuying, or anyone else, loved, trusted, and respected by so many people, anyone else would not do as badly as he is doing now.

[Your mind is so noisy.]

Yu Tu suddenly heard the consciousness of heaven and earth say.

Through thick tears, Yu Tu saw that the consciousness of heaven and earth that descended on the Qilin seemed to have a fleeting, human emotion.

He said, "You are not that bad."

It was not Yu Tu’s illusion, He was really comforting people.

The translucent Qilin descended a little and stopped at a place where it was at eye level with Yu Tu.

He said: [You chose your destiny, and destiny favored you.]

Yu Tu stared at Him blankly and said softly, "I'm so tired..."

The translucent Qilin slowly floated over and gently touched his forehead. Suddenly, many fragmented memories that obviously did not belong to him appeared in Yu Tu's mind.

He saw the secret of comics from the perspective of the will of heaven and earth.

The Qilin's life force condenses into Dao characters, and with the help of the consciousness of heaven and earth, it becomes a barrier separating the two worlds. After the barrier stabilizes, a barrier will be formed in a specific place, allowing people from the two worlds to travel back and forth.

When everyone passes through the barrier, they will leave their mark on the barrier. In other words, their memories will be read by the barrier.

Qilin has been sleeping in the barrier, trying to preserve his consciousness as much as possible, and rarely wakes up. During his sleep, the consciousness of heaven and earth occasionally projects itself into Qilin's residual soul, using him as a medium to observe the world.

About sixty years ago, the Qilin Dao pattern mixed with the power of the Heavenly Dao was finally exhausted in time. Qilin woke up in the omen of impending destruction. After leaving a sleight of hand in the Alien Bureau, Qilin recalled his heart for support.

Another ten years passed, and the remaining strength of his heart was almost exhausted. The "blindness" failed. Di Wu and Xun Ruowang entered the Kunlun Forbidden Land and saw the ruins of ten thousand years ago.

Thus, after gathering the spirits of plants and trees, the consciousness of the demons, and the luck of the human race, the barrier lingered on for another fifty years.

During these fifty years, Qilin did not fall into a deep sleep again. He was awake most of the time, but he was often unable to condense into form.

Kirin read the memories of all those who passed through the barrier, and without disturbing the constraints of nature, chose a very trendy method—depicting reality in the form of comics to warn the inner world of the coming disaster.

In this era, belief in gods has declined, and Qilin wants to create "gods" artificially in this way - nothing is more suitable for the birth of gods than disasters, and nothing is more effective than gods taking the lead in resisting disasters.

However, maintaining the barrier has consumed most of Qilin's strength, and the characteristics of the barrier do not allow him to be omniscient and omnipotent, so Qilin chooses to seek help from the consciousness of heaven and earth.

Therefore, the consciousness of heaven and earth transmitted piece after piece of truth to Qilin according to his needs. Without flapping the wings of fate or violating the constraints of heaven and earth, Qilin deleted and reduced the truth and turned them into serialized comics.

The day the barrier is broken, the constraints of heaven and earth attached to the comics will disappear simultaneously. The moment the creatures in the inner and outer world know that the comics are true, their trust in them will increase significantly. Therefore, the most assured and reliable characters in the comics will receive a large wave of faith and become closer to "God".

———This is why Yu Tu’s initial mission was to become the most popular character in the comics.

As he digested these shocking truths, Yu Tu even forgot to shed tears. He opened his mouth several times, but in the end he only asked a question that was somewhat related but not quite relevant: "Then I will use the identity of Buyehou to ooc..."

[These realities were not transmitted.]

That is to say, even the Qilin, who is a part of Tianyan, does not know about this. Apart from the consciousness of heaven and earth, only Yu Tu himself knows about it. Both the original body and the vest are controlled by him alone.

Yu Tu asked blankly: "Why?"

The consciousness of heaven and earth did not answer him. The surrounding golden Dao network had begun to flicker, indicating an unstable state. Yu Tu felt that the consciousness of heaven and earth was breaking away from the state of descent. He could not take care of many things. Putting the problem of Buyehou aside for the time being, Yu Tu now had another urgent problem——

"Can you tell me how to find my own 'path' in spiritual practice?"

[It happens naturally, and you will know it naturally.]

The consciousness of heaven and earth was separated, and Yu Tu was caught off guard and met the gaze of a pair of smart eyes.

[Hello, Tutu.]

The translucent Qilin floating in front of him greeted him.

Although these eyes have clearly experienced the vicissitudes of time, they still have a rare and lively youthfulness.

[Are you ready to save the world?]
