Chapter 468 The Protagonist and the Emperor
Chu Ge didn’t dare to write about the Emperor of Heaven directly before and kept dragging it out.
Things like Chu Tiange's entry into the Heavenly Palace, which were obviously matters that should have been handled by the Emperor himself, were delayed as much as possible, leaving it to a Star Lord to negotiate and arrange.
From the perspective of the novel, it can be seen as "you can't meet the Emperor of Heaven too early, you need to proceed step by step", and the underlying plot is still "Taibai Jinxing recruits Bima Wen". The actual meaning is that Chu Ge dare not directly write about the Emperor of Heaven too early, fearing that he would not be able to bear the impact of the resistance.
But now it is possible.
Firstly, the mark of the original Heavenly Emperor was damaged, which would inevitably affect his own strength, and he would inevitably be at a disadvantage in the fight with the new Heavenly Emperor; secondly, Chu Ge’s own strength had made a great leap forward and he was more confident.
The only problem is, if we directly write about the new emperor, will he feel anything and what will he think? What if he also rebels?
Anyway, I have to give it a try. I can't avoid writing it later anyway, so now is the best time.
“You are so foolish!” From the depths of the mist, a cold mockery could be heard from the Heavenly Emperor’s sea of consciousness: “You knew that he was like a puppet. He asked you to see Chu Tiange, but you didn’t even resist or struggle. You are unworthy of being called the Heavenly Emperor!”
The Emperor closed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "How do you know that I don't want to see Chu Tiange?"
"If you wanted to see him, it was to kill him. Now you want to see him, what is the purpose?"
"Why should I kill Chu Tiange?" The Emperor of Heaven said calmly, "The Emperor of Heaven is the bright light of heaven and the magnificent light of earth. I want to show my favor to Chu Tiange and let him connect the heaven and the human world. The sun, moon and stars in the human world should be commanded by the heaven, and the wind, rain and thunder should be governed by the heaven. The whole world belongs to the king, and everything from ancient times to the present is in his hands. That is the power that the Emperor of Heaven should have! Isn't it better than you guys who are cunning and hide in a small world, claiming to be the heaven... Where is the heaven? Where is the earth? It's ridiculous to look at yourself from a well."
"Seeking self-realization first is the way to explore. If you can't even manage yourself, and yet you want to manage the stars in the two worlds, you are deceiving yourself and others. It's really ridiculous."
"What is self?" The Emperor of Heaven suddenly laughed, "You are an independent world, isolated from the heavens. It seems that the Heavenly Dao cannot control you at all. Does this count as seeking self? However, why can the Heavenly Dao easily accomplish its goal of creating a new heaven? Is it because your power is not as good as his?"
The other voice fell silent.
The Emperor of Heaven said leisurely, "The original setting of the Heaven Realm was for the three factions to compete with each other... You were clearly connected to Buddhism and Taoism, and you established this world independently, but in the end, the three factions were still scheming against each other, and the structure of the Heaven Realm has never changed. This gave the Heavenly Dao an opportunity to re-set the Heaven Realm, overlapping the original Heaven Realm with the current Heaven Realm in a very self-consistent way, replacing the old with the new, but not starting a new world. So, have you finally found your true self, or are you still wandering around under his setting, never stepping out of the world?"
"To fight against foreign enemies, we must first stabilize the country. If there is no peace in one world, how can we talk about the human world, let alone the heavens?" The voice said angrily, "Is the conflict between the three families my problem? Why not ask that bald donkey and the thief why they are so ignorant of the overall situation!"
"Well said. To fight against foreign enemies, we must first stabilize the internal situation. I haven't even resolved the entanglement between you and me in my sea of consciousness, so how can I talk about other things? Why don't I ask you why you are so ignorant of the overall situation and always want to influence my thinking?"
"Grass!"
Who is in charge of the overall situation and who is in charge of the general situation is a question that will never be answered.
The guard's voice came from outside the door: "Chu Tiange comes to see you."
The battle in the sea of consciousness paused for a moment, and the Emperor smiled slightly: "Announce."
Chu Tiange stepped onto the cloud platform.
This was the first time Chu Tiange saw the "Emperor of Heaven". In fact, it was also the first time Chu Ge saw the Emperor of Heaven through his experiences.
The Emperor of Heaven had never had a face before. When he was in the human world, he borrowed the body of the Buddha, and in the Mausoleum of Zhenwu, he occupied Li Changkong.
Theoretically speaking, the Emperor of Heaven is invisible and he can take any form.
Looking at him now, he was wearing a tall hat and a wide belt, a dark robe, and a long black beard hanging down in front of his chest. He didn't look like an emperor at all, but rather a well-educated scholar - very similar to Xie Jiuxiao.
That's right, even the emperors on earth could only wear dragon robes after they called themselves dragons. Before that, they didn't have such things. For the emperors of heaven, dragons and phoenixes were either mounts or pets. It was good enough that they were not used as food...
"Tianshi Qin, are you used to it these days?"
The Emperor asked with a smile, very kindly.
Chu Tiange sighed in his heart and replied, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I have all the resources and skills, and I have learned a lot about the affairs of the heavenly realm. I am new to this realm and I have to start from scratch. The most difficult adaptation and exploration have gone so smoothly, all thanks to your Majesty's care."
In fact, it is hard to say whether this is the care of heaven or the care of the Emperor of Heaven... Of course, the Emperor of Heaven himself also has this wish, so it can be considered his care in a narrow sense.
The two of them naturally would not go into such a deep question, and the Emperor of Heaven still smiled and asked with concern: "Are there any difficulties in your practice?"
"I don't have any doubts..." Chu Tiange said truthfully, "I just feel that I was just a frog in a well before, and my knowledge was too narrow. Although I imagined an endless future before, I didn't have a clear method or guidance. Now I know that there is such a far-reaching vision in cultivation, immortality, seeing the past and present, the journey of the heavens... This is the way."
The Emperor of Heaven smiled slightly: "Isn't the true Dao the world in the palm of your hand and the universe in the snap of your fingers?"
Chu Tiange's pupils shrank slightly, and he said slowly: "That must be the Heavenly Dao of a Realm."
"The road of cultivation has no end. It seems that the world of earth, water, fire and wind has been opened, which should be the way of heaven. But where is the way of heaven? Is there another way of heaven above the way of heaven? It is unknown. The unknown is the root of your and my pursuit of knowledge, and the way is like this."
This statement seemed to be a discussion or a guide, but it actually implied that the Heavenly Dao of a Realm was not the end, or that it was not as great as imagined. Chu Tiange knew it very well and actually agreed.
But even though we agree, everyone will still make different choices. Since the paths are different, there is no need to say more. Just stop here.
Chu Tiange bowed and said, "Your Majesty is right. I wonder what you want me to do for you?"
The Emperor of Heaven sighed, but did not continue. Instead, he said, "According to common sense, those who still have attachments in the human world cannot transcend the calamity and ascend to heaven. So you have no attachments in the human world?"
Chu Tiange said truthfully: "I still have a lover, waiting for her to ascend."
"What if she can't ascend?"
"……wait."
"Do you want to go down and see her?"
"think."
The Emperor of Heaven smiled and said, "The duty of the angels is to bridge the two worlds. You three are the only ones in heaven and earth who know the affairs of the human world best, and you also know the bridge between heaven and earth best. Of course, it is most appropriate for you to do this. I was worried that you had already left the world and didn't want to look back. Since you still have attachment, it's a win-win situation, right?"
Chu Tiange had no way of telling which of the words spoken since they met were written by Chu Ge and which were what the Emperor himself wanted to say.
A selfless emperor would indeed want to communicate with and rule the human world, rather than ruling the heavenly world alone. However, the self-centered emperor wanted to isolate the two worlds.
Anyway, I don't care. Chu Ge must be observing everything from his own perspective. It's enough for him to know. Chu Tiange didn't bother to think too much and always answered truthfully: "That being said... But in fact, I really don't know how to communicate with the human world. I'm afraid I have failed your majesty's trust."
The Emperor of Heaven chuckled: "I know roughly."
Chu Tiange said: "Your Majesty, please make it clear."
"The division of heaven and earth must be based on the four symbols as the four poles. The human world was able to ascend, presumably using the remnants of the four symbols. Of course, we should also aim in this direction... The four poles of heaven, this place is the position of the Eastern Azure Dragon, and the Western White Tiger is most likely in the realm of the Buddha. Do you dare to explore it?"
Chu Tiange was speechless.
After a long time, it turned out that they wanted me to be the pioneer and fight the other two companies.
This is actually the true intention of the Emperor of Heaven. Whether he can rule the lower world is another matter. As for the ascenders going to heaven, the primary reason why the three families are fighting for it is that they can be used as a variable to break the balance among the three families.
Now that he has come to the Heavenly Palace, the Emperor of Heaven will naturally want to try out what kind of storm this variable can stir up...
According to this inference, Sect Master Qiu and Sect Master Yan should be fighting to their death, right?
