Chapter 561: Guidance From the Emperor of Heaven

Tiangong Pavilion, an inconspicuous fairy palace wrapped in the rich power of heaven.

Li Pingan stood on the three-foot-wide podium;

Dozens of white-haired old men and women sat neatly below, and fairy fruits and wine were placed on the low tables.

The people responsible for serving here were not the fairies of Yaochi, but some young "craftsmen", who were the disciples of these masters.

After the ceremony and a few greetings, Li Pingan began to get to the point.

He walked slowly from the podium with his hands behind his back, and several scrolls appeared on the wall behind him, with complex patterns in the scrolls.

"I believe everyone has already known that this world on which we depend for survival will face a series of disasters in the future."

Li Pingan's voice was very calm.

Under the calm, there was a kind of endless power.

He said slowly:

"The Conferred God Tribulation is a process, and the End of the World Tribulation is the result. We don't need to discuss the Conferred God Tribulation, and this is not the purpose of my creation of the Soulless Art.

"The Soulless Art is a supplement to the current immortal civilization and a means to fight against the End of the World Tribulation. And I hope that through our efforts, it can become an effective means.

"The End of the World Tribulation will occur in two situations.

"First, the origin of heaven and earth cannot support the influence of the sea of ​​​​Dao on heaven and earth, the Dao collapses, the origin of heaven and earth collapses, and heaven and earth move towards the natural end.

"According to my calculations, this end is about 30,000 years later.

"Second, the origin of heaven and earth is extracted.

"This situation is very likely to happen now, and the one who extracted the origin of heaven and earth is probably my transcendent teacher.

"This time is difficult to determine, it should be two or three thousand years. "

The immortals nodded, thinking.

Li Pingan explained: "You don't have to doubt my position. I have made a gentleman's agreement with the transcendent teacher. I will go all out to protect the world, and he will not destroy the world considering my existence."

Xu Xuntian raised his hand and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you are a gentleman, but your teacher may have too many conspiracies and calculations."

"So I always make inferences based on the worst case scenario."

Li Pingan smiled:

"We now have six saints of heaven. Although two of them are not very reliable, the transcendent needs to solve the Three Pure Ones, the Holy Mother and the Heavenly Court first if he wants to devour the origin of the world.

"This will take a process anyway.

"The problem now is what our soulless art can do and to what extent it can do it."

Yun Zhongzi stroked his beard and chanted: "The time left for us to study is too short, but doing something is better than doing nothing."

"The teacher is right. There is not much time left for us. ”

Li Pingan sighed:

“Although we have achieved a lot in the past few hundred years, and have brought a new look to the prehistoric world, Dongzhou and the built worlds have all been fully developed.

“Our most significant achievement now is that we can feed ten times more mortals than a thousand years ago.

“As long as we give the creatures time, this vigorous development of productivity, combined with the six reincarnation disks that allow a true soul to reincarnate repeatedly, can promote a substantial increase in the number of creatures.

“This will eventually be fed back to the increase in the power of heaven.

“Within two thousand years, the power of heaven will increase by at least five times, which is the meaning of your previous efforts. ”

Most of the old immortals were excited.

Li Pingan changed his tone:

“But the development of new production tools no longer requires the top craftsmen in the world, and it is enough to leave it to your disciples.

“Next, I will show you a new energy source and open up a new path.

“But before this, I want to talk about my views on the end of the catastrophe. "

The eyes of the immortals were full of surprise.

Many old men had already taken out the jade talisman, fearing that they would miss Li Ping'an's words. They quickly wrote down every sentence Li Ping'an said.

Then they listened to Li Ping'an slowly saying:

"The end of the catastrophe is itself a catastrophe that is bound to happen. The world is gradually approaching the end of its life.

"There is no perfect thing, and the world is the same.

"Our world is divided into three layers in total. Please look."

A stream of immortal light flew out from the palm of Li Ping'an's left hand, and the immortal lights intertwined back and forth, weaving a huge "fishing net".

"This is the bottom layer, the land of the avenue, also known as the sea of ​​​​the rules of the way. In the sea of ​​​​the rules of the way, the three thousand avenues are arranged according to the axe marks left by Pangu God, forming a sea of ​​​​the rules of the way that is interconnected and mutually supported.

"On the basis of the sea of ​​​​the rules of the way, and under the intervention and resonance of the avenue, we have the world now."

The sky and the earth appeared on the outer layer of the fishing net, and the ancient world took shape.

A film wrapped the entire world.

Wisp of gray mist appeared outside.

Li Pingan said: "The third layer is actually the Chaos Sea, which is the entire tangible world. To be precise, the outside of heaven and earth is the Chaos Breath. Order is accidental, and chaos is the norm."

Most of the immortals here have strong cultivation, so they can easily understand this truth.

Li Pingan asked: "Then, what is the origin of heaven and earth?"

Many immortals wanted to say something, but they couldn't say it when they got to their lips.

Li Dazhi said: "The origin should be a special kind of spiritual power."

"No," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "This is the great path that can only be felt and understood by those who are above the quasi-sage level. This question has troubled me for a long time before, but now, I think I should have found the answer. Please take a look. ”

The three-dimensional image in Li Ping'an's palm changed again.

The sea of ​​chaos disappeared, and the ancient world became translucent, and the countless avenues within it continued to shine brightly.

When these avenues shine, a little bit of golden dust flows from here, being absorbed and shaken out by the avenues.

Li Ping'an gently tapped his right hand, and the 'fishing net' began to shrink continuously. The golden dust became more and more obvious, and then turned into broken pieces...

Xu Xuntian blurted out: "Eggshell?"

"Yes, the eggshell is just the eggshell that gave birth to the god Pangu."

Li Pingan said slowly:

"This was actually revealed by Taoist Hongjun unintentionally.

"Before, he demonstrated the worlds for my father. Hongjun observed the creation and destruction of many worlds similar to ours at the edge of our tangible world. They seemed to be parallel worlds to ours.

"Such a wonderful sight was also seen by the Transcendent Guide Hongjun.

“I won’t go into details here, there are still a few questions here that I haven’t been able to get a definite conclusion on.

“But it also inspired me to know what the origin of heaven and earth is.

"It's quite simple...they're corpses."

"Corpse?"

The immortals don't know why.

Li Pingan explained simply and clearly:

"To be precise, it is a little bit of material left after the true spirit disappears, the corpse of the true spirit."

All the immortals looked thoughtful, and jade talismans shone brightly everywhere.

"There is no need to explain too much about what a true spirit is. Everyone who has practiced so far has understood the meaning of a true spirit. The true spirit is the source of all living things. It is at the same level as the breath of chaos.

"The true spirits gather from the sea of ​​chaos and mix with the fragments of Tao in the sea of ​​chaos to become innate gods and demons. These are chaotic creatures.

"The true spirit enters the world and meets the rules of heaven and earth and becomes a living soul. This is the foundation of you and me.

"The six paths of reincarnation are based on the true spirit, which allows the true spirit to reincarnate back and forth between heaven and earth until the true spirit's power is exhausted.

“True spirits are constantly infiltrating from chaos into the primitive world, and this process is extremely long.

"The reason why I came to this conclusion is... After the establishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, only a few hundred years ago, traces of the original objects of heaven and earth have already been produced inside the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

"Its amount is very small. Only by increasing its amount ten times can a living being enter the Golden Fairy Realm and enjoy immortality.

"But its appearance has been able to prove what the original objects of heaven and earth are, and why we can increase the original objects of heaven and earth by hunting innate gods and demons. Think about it, what are innate gods and demons?"

Xu Xuntian immediately replied: "The aggregation of countless true spirits and Taoist fragments in the sea of ​​chaos is the innate gods and demons!"

"good."

Li Ping'an manually liked it:

"Then think about it again, what is Pangu God?"

"Pangu God is a type of innate gods and demons," an old immortal analyzed calmly, "Only in the sea of ​​chaos, ignoring the years and absorbing enough true spirits, can Pangu God's eggshell appear."

"good."

Li Pingan said:

“The so-called order is actually a state of chaos.

“We can regard God Pangu as the aggregation of countless true spirits and the embodiment of the overall will of the true spirits.

“You can also think of it as an accident.

“Heaven and earth were born from this accident.

“Our self-impressed understanding is that Pangu God opened up the world for essentially only one purpose, which is to allow true spirits to live more colorfully and freely.

“To explain it objectively, this is actually an example of the True Spirit Movement transforming the Sea of ​​Chaos.

"So everyone now understands what the origin of heaven and earth is?"

All the immortals nodded.

Senior Xu Sheng asked: "But Your Majesty, if you understand what the origin of heaven and earth is, how can you avoid the final catastrophe?"

Several old immortals spoke one after another:

"It took hundreds of years of reincarnation in the Six Paths to form such a small amount of original objects. If we want to increase the number of original objects in the world, isn't it the only way to hunt down the innate gods and demons?"

"Our world is just a small corner of the Chaos Sea, and those chaotic beasts are also a huge threat to us. If we hunt the innate gods and demons, we are likely to attract their revenge."

"I have known before that the origin of heaven and earth can be absorbed by the great avenue. After cultivating a golden immortal, it is equivalent to becoming a part of this great avenue. Through the great avenue, the origin of heaven and earth can be absorbed into the body. From this, one can gain immortality and become a golden immortal among living beings. The more there are, the less the origin of heaven and earth will be between heaven and earth... No wonder Heaven is going to launch a catastrophe..."

Li Ping'an raised his hand and made a gesture, and the immortals immediately became as quiet as chickens.

He smiled and said: "Don't be too busy discussing. There will be a discussion for you later. I will finish my findings first."

He looked around, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Knowing the nature of the origin of heaven and earth, we can restore the process of creation of heaven and earth in this way.

“The main body of the tangible world is the Sea of ​​Chaos, and there are three types of matter in the Sea of ​​Chaos.

"The first type is the breath of chaos, which is the original basic energy.

"Kong Xuan's five-color divine light can decompose the chaotic atmosphere into the innate five elements of energy. This decomposition process is very mysterious.

“The second type is true spirit.

"The third type is the power of Tao.

“After countless years of accumulation, a special aggregation of true spirits and Dao fragments appeared in the Chaos Sea.

“Here is a bold guess, that is, Pangu God was originally a Chaos Beast, and is the ultimate form of Chaos Beast evolution.

“After this aggregate completed its own evolution, it chose to open up a world, allowing the true spirits that constituted itself to become living things in this world, which is Pangu's transformation into all things.

“The process of opening up the world is the process of the Dao constructing the Dao Sea.

“Pangu God fought against three thousand innate gods and demons, plundered the Dao fragments and pieced them together into avenues, forming the foundation of the Dao Sea. He also relied on the true spirit corpses and the origin of heaven and earth left by the innate gods and demons after their death to keep the Dao Sea stable.

“To a certain extent, Pangu God is not dead, and the world is his next form.

"You and I are both Pangu."

Xu Xuntian said: "I roughly understand these principles, but Your Majesty, you have laid so much groundwork, what do you want to lead to?"

"Only by explaining these clearly can everyone understand what I am going to say next."

Li Ping'an turned around and raised his hand. The four canvases behind him surged with light at the same time, and the scrolls on them changed.

In the first painting, countless heavenly soldiers and generals appeared, and they continued to march outward with Xuandu City as their base, relying on huge, land-like warships to hunt innate gods and demons.

"This is the worst strategy, and it is also the most practical way. Hunting innate gods and demons will help our world prolong its life."

A huge eggshell appeared in the second painting.

"This is the middle strategy, which is a strategy that can be achieved based on the current strength of our world.

"In short, we need a chaos beast, cultivate the chaos beast, let it reach the realm of Pangu God, and then form an egg.

"We collect eggshell material from the side, that is, the corpse of the true spirit.

"There is no place in the depths of the Chaos Sea where the rules of heaven and earth interfere, so this plan can be implemented. Of course, the premise is that after we reach the depths of the Chaos Sea and lose the protection of the rules of heaven and earth, can we defeat these chaotic beasts?"

Many of the immortals smiled.

The third scroll is amazing. It shows the three-dimensional pattern that Li Pingan just showed on his palm - the ancient world and the sea of ​​Tao.

"This is the best strategy, and it is also the main topic we will discuss today.

"This picture is not very vivid."

Li Pingan said seriously:

"We need to think about two questions.

"One is why the origin of heaven and earth can make the sea of ​​Tao stable and immovable. There is an inspiration point here, that is the secret of the immortal volcano.

"The second question is how to create more origins of heaven and earth.

"It may be difficult for us to hunt the innate gods and demons, but if we find a way to efficiently capture the true spirit and transform the true spirit into the origin of heaven and earth, the difficulty will be much lower.

"This is also the plan we can actually explore now, and it is the best strategy.

"In addition, everyone, look at the last picture."

The eyes of the immortals gathered on the fourth scroll.

There was a Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram on it.

Li Pingan smiled and said:

"I won't keep you in suspense about this.

"If all our previous efforts are ineffective, or to be more precise, what we have done before is just to delay the rhythm of the arrival of the end of the catastrophe, but cannot completely solve the problem of the end of the catastrophe.

"At this time, we need to introduce a new idea.

"It is also an idea I have been thinking about for a long time."

Li Dazhi asked in confusion: "What idea?"

Li Pingan said:

"Jump out of the Chaos Sea and use simpler and more stable rules to construct a new order of heaven and earth.

"We don't need to pursue the eternal sublimation of heaven and earth. The original source of heaven and earth required for that may not be enough to evaporate the Chaos Sea, but we can allow more creatures to have a more stable place to live.

"You may not understand what it means. To put it simply, it means going to the opposite of transcendence and eternity, so that the Avenue of Time will no longer be revealed, greatly reducing the complexity of the Sea of ​​Principles, thereby increasing the stability of the Sea of ​​Principles, and looking for deep energy to replace the original source of heaven and earth.

"I have a more intuitive name for this idea!"

Li Pingan opened his hands, and his voice became extremely sacred.

"World, dimensionality reduction."

Many immortals were confused.

Several powerful creatures who peeped at this place were also confused.
