Chapter 596 The Chaos Clock's Little Conspiracy

Donghuang Taiyi's voice was circulating in the room.

No one responded.

He sat beside the couch for a long time without moving, and the memories in his heart were still increasing.

Li Ping'an's calm but firm eyes and the order Donghuang Taiyi just heard made his heart on the verge of collapse.

Why?

Why did my father deliberately hurt Aunt Zhong?

Isn't it my father's most trusted and longest-accompanying partner?

Although the air around was quiet, Donghuang Taiyi was a little difficult to breathe at this moment. He held the edge of the couch tightly with both hands, and drops of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

Finally, he made his own choice.

"Donghuang Taiyi..."

He whispered softly.

But the next moment, in the memory that appeared in his heart, from the past and from the present, the Donghuang Taiyi had a little more stunned emotion, and the figure protected by the golden light in the fierce battle with Li Ping'an looked up at Chaoge City.

The two Donghuang Taiyi's sights collided across time and space.

It seemed that something was breaking between heaven and earth.

An invisible wave swept across the sea of ​​​​Dao Ze.

The golden figure who was fighting with Li Pingan suddenly let out a cry, flew backwards, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped the Chaos Bell that existed at the moment.

Then, the golden figure flashed strangely and disappeared, leaving a golden light ball in the place, which exploded in an instant.

The golden light filled the huge hole created by the fight.

In the palace, Donghuang Taiyi lay back weakly.

A series of new memories appeared in his heart, and there was an additional dispute with the Chaos Bell, but soon this dispute was repaired, and the story behind it remained unchanged. This was just a small sudden fight he went out one day in ancient times.

But Donghuang Taiyi had already felt that there was a gap in the connection between him and the Chaos Bell.

An irreparable gap.

Donghuang Taiyi laughed at himself and lay there motionless.

Outside the city, the Tai Chi diagram was covered.

All the masters, both openly and secretly, looked at the situation in front of them with confusion at this moment.

From their perspective, Li Pingan and the ancient Donghuang Taiyi were fighting fiercely. Donghuang Taiyi then forced Li Pingan to retreat and took the initiative to knock away the Chaos Bell. He disappeared in a flash, triggering a violent golden light explosion.

When the golden light faded, there was no trace of the fluctuation of the avenue in the middle of the hole. A small bronze bell was quietly suspended, and the fairy light was restrained, giving people a feeling that it was very weak.

Li Pingan's Taoist robe was blown to pieces. At this moment, he was only wearing a pair of trousers, revealing his upper body with clear muscle lines and long hair that kept fluttering.

He was already standing in front of the small bell and raised his hand to grab it forward.

The Taoist hearts of these masters around him were fiercely twisted.

Chaos Bell!

The three treasures of Kaitian!

But Li Pingan was the closest, and the strength that Li Pingan had just shown made these masters around him quickly give up the idea of ​​​​fighting forward.

These masters did not fight for it, but it did not mean that Li Pingan could easily touch this small bell.

In the hollow wrapped by the Tai Chi diagram, a golden lotus quietly bloomed from under Li Ping'an's feet, but the golden lotus had not yet fully condensed. A wisp of yin and yang energy condensed out of thin air, like a slap in the face, and the golden lotus flew away.

The shadows of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and the Jieying Divine Tower appeared in the west;

The shadows of the Red Hydrangea and the Qingping Sword appeared in the east;

A Taoist appeared in the northwest and looked at this place;

The skinny old man above the nine heavens frowned, as if he had many puzzles.

Li Ping'an held the bell ears of the Chaos Bell.

The strange phenomena in various places dissipated almost at the same time, and a dissatisfied cold snort came from the western sky.

The immortals outside the original fighting ground breathed a sigh of relief.

Their hanging hearts finally fell.

Li Ping'an held the Chaos Bell in his palm, and then he heard... a few sobbing sounds?

In his heart, the curse of the Chaos Bell came:

"Your teacher asked me to stay with you. He is so mean! He directly let Donghuang Taiyi break my magical power! He also said that he would let me go back after the Conferred Gods are over!"

Li Ping'an blinked and picked up the Chaos Bell to look inside.

"Don't look around! Brat!"

Where is Lu Ya?

Li Ping'an shook the Chaos Bell, and the fairy light on it dimmed. There was no trace of Lu Ya in it.

Zhong Ling said: "Your teacher took him away."

"Then why didn't the teacher take you with him?"

"He said that I was too competitive and moved the ancient Donghuang Taiyi, which could easily make the ancient Donghuang Taiyi lose control. Now the ancient Donghuang Taiyi has known that he will become the son of the Conferred Gods in the future, and he has more choices."

Zhong Ling paused:

"But now everything has not changed, which means that although there are new options, Taiyi still chooses to obey his father's will.

"I've been tossing in vain. "

Li Pingan: ...

He made a slight calculation in his heart, and suddenly understood what Chaos Bell was doing.

First, she went to find Lu Ya, intentionally released the news of Donghuang Taiyi's reincarnation, deliberately caused a series of turmoil, created conflicts and contradictions, and finally attracted a master to fight with her.

The purpose of Chaos Bell should be to summon Donghuang Taiyi in ancient times, tell Donghuang Taiyi what will happen in the future, and let Donghuang Taiyi make some choices that are more beneficial to him.

The Chaos Bell did it, but it was in vain.

Donghuang Taiyi should have known all this, but he still maintained his original appearance in the end.

The world has not been changed.

The Chaos Bell only suffered a certain backlash, and there was no scar on the bell body.

If Donghuang Taiyi had made a different choice, for example, he chose to escape instead of die in the battle of the Fall of the Ancient Heavenly Palace, the entire world would have changed due to the problems that occurred at this node.

No, it could also be that Donghuang Taiyi made other choices, but was repaired by the transcendent teacher.

There are too many possibilities here, full of the operating rules of the Avenue of Time. Li Ping'an has not yet dabbled in the Avenue of Time. At this moment, he has just made a little calculation and has fallen into a fog.

Don't understand.

It was a mess.

Forget it, just put the Chaos Clock away first.

At least it can make the experts of all walks of life envious, and at the same time dispel their enthusiasm for fighting for the Chaos Clock, allowing Chaoge City to temporarily restore peace.

Li Ping'an said loudly: "Fellow Taoists, the Chaos Bell is temporarily in the heaven. I want to find the secret of the transcendent. I will be supervised by Laojun here."

After saying that, he cupped his hands and looked apologetically at Master Xuandu who was vomiting blood in the forest.

The Archmage waved his hand, swallowed a few Nine Transformation Spirit Pills, and his injuries healed quickly.

A few...

It’s just a small advantage for people to teach disciples.

Li Ping'an bowed his hands to Our Lady of Wudang and Jiejiaoxian, then looked at Guangchengzi and Kuiliu Sun, who had not yet appeared, waved a greeting to Taiyi, Yuding, and Huanglong, and disappeared in a flash. .

His voice sounded from everywhere in heaven and earth:

"Taoist Lu Ya intended to slaughter the human race from Nanzhou, but now he has betrayed the world and defected to the great demon outside the territory. Everyone can kill him."

A few words, but it completely eliminated the possibility of Taoist Lu Ya continuing to cause trouble in Fengshen.

The power of heaven came from everywhere, and the sea of ​​law reappeared in this hollow. Lines of various colors intertwined the grid of law, and then the power of heaven came and restored the sky and white clouds.

It's just that the affected area on the ground has turned into a deep pit, and the vegetation and mountain forests have disappeared. Groundwater has gushed out from underneath, and will turn into a deep lake later.

After a fierce battle, the Chaos Bell suffered heavy damage and was taken away by the Emperor.

This news quickly spread throughout the three realms.

As for the Archmage who tried his best to control the aftermath of this battle with Tai Chi diagrams... no one even mentioned it.

Others didn't care, but Li Ping'an had to care about this matter.

Li Ping'an naturally knew that he could capture Chaos Bell this time, firstly because of his own efforts, and secondly because Taiqing was supporting him behind the scenes.

Although Taiqing was promoting the Great Tribulation of the Gods, which made Li Ping'an a little disillusioned, everyone now has the same position, and Taiqing should still be given the respect he deserves.

Li Ping'an returned to Heaven and went straight to Tushita Palace with the Chaos Bell.

He actually wanted to use Ji Dan's identity to visit Donghuang Taiyi. Donghuang Taiyi's condition must be very bad;

But for a moment, Ji Dan was a bit abnormal in the past;

Secondly, the entanglement between Donghuang Taiyi, Chaos Bell, and the Transcendent is not something that an outsider can interfere with.

Let's discuss countermeasures with Laojun first and see if we can control the Chaos Clock.

As for Taoist Lu Ya who was rescued at some point.

Li Ping'an wasn't too interested in him. After all, after weighing it today, Taoist Lu Ya was not as strong as Daluo Jinxian. He was still far away from killing three corpses. His treasures were only the two nail-head Seven Arrows Book and the Immortal-killing Flying Knife. Great, but the rest is just average.

He didn't even need to use any of his trump cards, and he had already forced Taoist Lu Ya to the point where the Chaos Clock had to take action to survive.

What Li Pingan is interested in now is actually why his teacher insisted on rescuing Lu Ya.

Does Lu Ya play a big role in the teacher's plan?

…

Outside Xuandu City, within a wisp of chaos.

Old Man Wanri looked at the middle-aged Taoist meditating in front of him with a smile, and did not mind at all that the Chaos Bell was captured by his disciple.

Taoist Hongjun frowned and asked, "A treasure like the Chaos Bell was left in Li Ping'an's place like this?"

"Um?"

Wan Ri smiled and said, "Zhong can come back anytime he wants. She's just having a temper."

Taoist Fuxi Shanshi Zheyun frowned and said, "Can you please shed some light on this?"

"The Chaos Clock wants Taiyi to regain his fighting spirit, it's that simple."

Old Man Wanri spoke unhurriedly, walked to the low table where Taoist Hongjun and Taoist Zheyun were sitting, and sat down leisurely.

Taoist Lu Ya was like a clay sculpture at this moment, and he could not hear the conversations of the three Taoists outside.

The old man said:

"The Chaos Clock is a treasure after all, not a living being. She looks like a living being, but in fact she doesn't understand the human heart at all.

"She took advantage of this time that I asked her to deal with Taoist Lu Ya, and deliberately gave Lu Ya some hints, making Lu Ya mistakenly think that Chaos Bell would help him at the critical moment, and took advantage of Lu Ya's ambition to disperse Donghuang. Taiyi is the news that the future Shang prince will receive.

"Then he deliberately attacked Lu Ya, making him irritable and restless step by step.

“When the Chaos Clock is planning, it’s not like you and me, who consider all aspects. It looks at the various possibilities that may arise in the aftermath of an event, and then draws a path among them.

"Chaos Bell saw the possibility of letting Donghuang Taiyi and Li Ping'an fight. There are many meanings in this. Only Taiyi and Chaos Bell understand it, and it is not convenient for me to reveal it to you.

"If I hadn't taken action in time to remind Taiyi that the past that had happened cannot be changed, otherwise the deaths and injuries of countless living beings would have increased.

“Tai Yi has a soft temper and ultimately rejected the Chaos Clock’s kindness.

"The struggles before and after the Chaos Clock actually only made Taiyi more painful and strengthened Taiyi's destiny to die after completing his mission in the battle with the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

"The Time Treasure thinks that it is the Time Avenue, but it does not know that the Time Avenue itself is nothing."

Hongjun and Zhayun each thought.

Zhayun Taoist asked: "Is it possible that the Chaos Bell will betray you?"

"That is not the case. It understands me."

Wangri sighed:

"It is just that I interfered this time, Taiyi may have a grudge, but Taiyi is no longer useful. Any choice he makes now will not affect the overall situation. Don't worry too much."

Hongjun asked with interest: "Can things without value be discarded at will?"

"Otherwise?"

"Then what is the difference between you and me?"

Old Man Wangri sneered and raised his eyebrows at Hongjun: "I am more confident than you."

Taoist Hongjun's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, but he did not say anything else.

...

In the Tushita Palace.

Li Ping'an and the great master who had just returned sat on the cushion in front of Laojun.

A road emerged from the palms of the three people.

Li Pingan offered the Great Way of All Beings, while the Great Master and Laojun each held the Great Way of Yin and Yang, and put layers of restrictions on the Chaos Bell that had completely absorbed the immortal light.

Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin looked out from behind and looked at the three Chaos Bells suspended in the middle, admiring this treasure of creation.

Li Pingan's heart was also a little hot.

Now, a door has appeared in the teacher's secret room. As long as this door is pushed open, the teacher's secret can be found, and perhaps a way to fight against the teacher can be found.

Aren't there two biggest troubles at this moment?

The first is the end of the natural trend of heaven and earth;

The second is that the transcendent may destroy heaven and earth in advance and extract the origin of heaven and earth.

Although the first one is more difficult to solve, there are many ways to delay it;

The second problem is simply the biggest crisis at present.

Chaos Bell!

This treasure of creation that has always accompanied the transcendent has now temporarily become their prisoner.

How can it be interrogated?

Without Li Pingan taking the initiative to speak, Laojun gently swung his whisk, and the spirit of the Chaos Bell turned into a foot tall, appeared above the Chaos Bell with a depressed face, and sat cross-legged in the air.

Zhong Ling looked at Laojun, then at the great wizard, and finally chose to face the most handsome one here.

"Okay, you caught me."

Zhong Ling's voice was full of helplessness:

"Now you can try to persuade me to become your treasure.

"But I can remind you that this kind of thing actually happened a few times a long time ago, but each time I returned to your teacher.

"I don't want to be left at the end of the years. You can't imagine the pain of being gradually swallowed by darkness.

"I have made him a little angry this time... I mean, I tried to arouse Taiyi's fighting spirit and tactfully told Taiyi what would happen next. This part is actually what your teacher has always forbidden me to tell Taiyi. "

Li Pingan thought for a while and asked directly: "Teacher knows everything and every detail that will happen in the future?"

"That's not the case. "

Zhong Ling pondered for a moment and took the initiative to explain:

"The past cannot be interfered with, and the future cannot be changed.

"Because after the past happened, a complete space-time belt has been built with the tangible world as the framework and moved along the Avenue of Time. If a fluctuation occurs and the things that have happened no longer happen, it will trigger the tide of cause and effect.

"It's not that another future will suddenly appear, but that the whole world will return to a chaotic state and collapse on its own.

"The future cannot be changed because the future has not happened yet, everything is uncertain, and we can only see trends and various possibilities."

Li Pingan blinked: "So this time, you actually want to destroy this world and save the ancient Donghuang Taiyi?"

"Uh-huh," Zhong Ling smiled, "Whether the world is destroyed or not has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with you. The so-called salvation is nothing but self-deception and self-satisfaction... That's the fact."

Li Pingan raised his hand to support his forehead.

This Zhong Ling doesn't seem to be as "mentally stable" as she had shown before.
