Chapter 1441 Mo Yan: The Way of Heaven is hard to change, new scars are tearing the old sky!
Time, space, the Divine Land, the Sea of Light, the Great Dao, the Mysteries, and all things in the heavens seemed to have had their pillars removed, and began to collapse on a large scale.
The past, present, and future are all intertwined.
Everything, from top to bottom, left to right, and even the heavens and earth, was piled up together.
Everything eventually collapses into a tiny point, like a seed, which could burst open at any moment, replaying the cycle of earth, water, wind, and fire.
"The world reopens"
Looking at the tiny speck of light, Lü Yang had a profound realization: "This is the beginning of the Sea of Light, the present starting point that carries the future era of the Sea of Light."
Then he looked up again.
As all things collapsed, the pitch-black scene that appeared outside was the void of darkness, and the future era of the Sea of Light was already beginning to take shape at this moment.
However, unlike in my memory, a vast rift has appeared above the Void, visible from any corner when one looks up. It surges with immeasurable power, mysteriously layered, like a rift stretching across the end of the Void.
"It's truly spectacular."
Lu Yang stretched out his hand, and his divine sense immediately came into contact with the vast power in the crack. In an instant, a sea of lightning, like a vast ocean, crashed down from the crack!
"Boom!"
The sea of thunder surged, each wave a bolt of lightning powerful enough to destroy everything, and thus it entered Lü Yang's body, traversing his internal organs.
However, Lü Yang remained extremely calm in the face of all this. His level had already reached an unprecedented level through dozens of reopenings. Even though the power of this sea of lightning was enough to cause a life-or-death crisis to the ninth level of the [Other Shore], it was just like a gentle breeze to him.
So he continued to reach out.
Passing through the barrier of the sea of lightning, his palm quickly came into contact with the immense power within the rift, which poured into his body like a torrent.
"call"
Lü Yang let out a long breath.
His deep breaths, echoing in the dark and gloomy void, resembled the muffled sounds of creation, as boundless power propelled his strength to climb to even greater heights.
".really."
As Lü Yang refined this immense power, he came to the conclusion: "This crack is the trace formed after the Seed of the Great Dao was detonated by the Primordial Saint."
At that moment, the scene before him changed.
The void was no longer empty, but gradually revealed a concrete outline. The shadows expanded in all directions, and the light finally pierced through.
Only then did Lü Yang realize that the seemingly boundless void was actually just a vast shadow created by a clasped hand. As the hand slowly opened its fingers, the shadow faded, and the hand finally revealed its true form, displaying its majestic figure.
Exactly the same as the First Saint.
"hiss"
To be honest, Lü Yang was a little frightened and almost thought that the First Saint had truly transformed into a god—then he suddenly realized that the person in front of him was not the First Saint.
The first saint merely imitated his face.
He is [Equal]!
The only Nascent Soul cultivator in the ancient Divine Continent, the master of Zixiao Palace, was a rising star who defied the odds and eventually achieved the supreme Dao Venerable who brought peace to all laws!
As he pondered, Lü Yang was startled to realize that his perspective was also rising. The immense power from the rift was constantly being injected, pushing his essence, his status, and everything about him toward a supreme direction, so much so that the figures in his field of vision gradually ceased to be majestic.
Until the very end.
With just a blink of his eyes, as if water had flowed naturally and merit had been perfected, many images, such as the state of emptiness and stillness, were revealed in Lü Yang's eyes.
Looking back, he found himself standing in an empty space.
Between his brows, a radiant light, symbolizing "variability," shines brightly, engraved with countless runes that are constantly changing and becoming more perfect.
In an instant, the sound of melodious praise resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
This was not something someone did intentionally; it was entirely a spontaneous response from Xu Ming, a celebration of the newly born Divine Transformation Dao Venerable, announcing the birth of a new foundation for this world.
"Boom!"
Boundless light erupted from Lü Yang's body, illuminating all directions and corresponding to the starting point of the present world below, reflecting his image in all time and space.
Those who transform into deities are the foundation of this world!
The boundless power emanating from the rift enabled Lü Yang, who had just undergone a transformation, to rapidly undergo his fourth transformation, which was also the most crucial transformation into a deity!
The next second, he suddenly had a thought, and then reached to his side, calmly and leisurely pulling out a somewhat blurry book from nothingness. There were about half of the pages left in the book, and there were many mysteries on it, which even he could not see clearly or explain.
"The Book of a Hundred Generations"
Lu Yang murmured to himself, then suddenly turned around and looked behind him, where a Taoist priest was sitting upright, seemingly out of nowhere.
Before Lü Yang could speak, the Taoist priest cupped his hands and said:
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist."
"The Nascent Soul Realm, to put it bluntly, is really just that. However, you relied on external aids and progressed too quickly, so your foundation is ultimately not very stable."
After saying that, the Taoist shook his head again and chuckled, "It doesn't matter. There are advantages to progressing quickly. At least you've reached a certain level. It's just a matter of taking some time to stabilize it. For Eternity, this little bit of time is just a short rest on your long path of cultivation."
After speaking, the Taoist continued to scrutinize Lü Yang.
Upon seeing this, Lü Yang took a deep breath and then bowed solemnly: "Thank you for your guidance, senior. Without it, I would not have achieved what I have today."
"You flatter me."
The Taoist waved his hand and laughed, "I gave everyone a chance. The final achievement of the Seed of the Great Dao was earned by yourself."
Lü Yang understood immediately upon hearing this.
In fact, he had long realized that, at least for the Dao Ancestors of the past, each Dao Ancestor had indeed been given a corresponding opportunity.
Because of himself, Zhu Liuxian perfected the originally flawed feng shui formation.
Because of Sword Lord, Zhen Qu Lu made up for the huge flaw in the original plan.
Because of the First Saint, the founders of the two schools of Names and Physics were able to attempt transcendence once again.
Because of the World Honored One, the plan for all beings to be reborn was able to be implemented.
In addition, there is Shi Weixiong and Da Yunlai. Basically, all the Dao Ancestors who had no interest in the Seed of the Great Dao had feasible plans.
And all of this is brought about by [equality].
It was because Jun brought the Lords of the Light Sea to the ancient past that everything became possible. As he said, he truly gave everyone a chance.
"No, that's not right."
Lu Yang looked at the Taoist priest and asked curiously, "What about the First Sage? Did you give him a chance too?"
"of course."
The Taoist nodded slightly: "I gave it to him seven times."
Upon hearing this, Lü Yang immediately understood: "The Seven Emotions Reaching Heaven Technique offers seven opportunities to sever emotions, yet the First Saint chose Supreme Forgetfulness for all of them."
"Since that's the case..."
The next second, Lü Yang turned around and looked at the crack that the Great Dao Seed had exploded: "For him, this ending is a case of reaping what he sowed."
At this moment, looking at the rift from the perspective of a Nascent Soul cultivator, Lü Yang suddenly saw the deepest part of it. The First Saint was gritting his teeth and making a hand seal, seemingly trying to refine something, but he was forcibly stopped at a certain moment. All his thoughts were frozen, like an insect inside amber.
"He will surely become a god in the future."
Beside him, the Taoist priest smiled slightly and said, "However, his time has stopped at this moment, and he will never be able to reach that future."
Lü Yang nodded: "Because he chose to transcend first."
"The Seed of the Great Dao, the power of the Divine Transformation, is essentially still the power of this world. Its existence is based on this world. How could a transcendent being possibly refine it?"
The Taoist priest laughed and said, "He was blinded by his own obsession."
"Since you have already transcended, you should no longer crave the seed of the Great Dao. Instead, you should cultivate your own nature and, after a long period of time, you will naturally be able to transform into a deity."
"After all, there are no more bottlenecks to transcendence."
"He actually understood this principle, but perhaps because he was used to using external things, he ultimately failed to see through it, and his obsession with the Dao eventually led him astray."
"But those who have already transcended worldly desires the Seed of the Great Dao, and the result is what he is like now. The power of the Seed of the Great Dao is based on this world and will never come into contact with him, who has already transcended worldly. As a result, he is forever stuck on the path to becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator, unless one day he can awaken to this truth on his own."
"impossible."
Before the Taoist could finish speaking, Lü Yang shook his head and denied it, saying, "This is his obsession. His Daoist heart is like this; he would never give it up even if he died."
"As for this kind of imprisonment, which is equivalent to eternal imprisonment, it should be meaningless to him who is 'Supremely detached from emotions,' and he will not be moved by it."
"It's absolutely perfect."
At this point, Lü Yang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "A perfect machine! The result of meticulous design—was this exactly what you intended, senior?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Yang looked at the crack again.
The rift itself is not only filled with the divine power of the Great Dao Seed, but also, because of the Primordial Saint, it has formed a gateway to transcendence!
The First Sage is the cornerstone of this portal.
Given his unwavering commitment to transcendence, Lü Yang estimates that this gateway to detachment will remain open for the foreseeable future.
In other words:
The First Sage is the very person that the Daoist Venerable of Equalizing All Laws in front of us painstakingly cultivated in order to create such a transcendent gate!
Don't look at me like that.
Seeing that Lü Yang's gaze was becoming increasingly strange, the Taoist finally couldn't help but say, "I told you, I gave him a chance, but he didn't seize it."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
Lu Yang nodded, concealing the strange look in his eyes, but in his heart he was already convinced that this Daoist Venerable of Equalizing All Laws was also a wicked person!
Then, he glanced at the primordial saint in the rift, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Although it would feel better to kill him with one blow, it's not bad to suffer a fate worse than death like this. Talent, talent, treating all living beings as consumables, in the end, he himself is nothing more than consumables for others."
How ironic!
After his initial reflection, Lü Yang began to carefully examine the Gate of Transcendence before him, exclaiming, "Senior, your contribution in opening this gate is truly immense."
what does this mean?
This means that every subsequent generation of Nascent Soul cultivators can transcend directly through this portal, without needing to cultivate the next generation of Nascent Soul cultivators to succeed them!
That's not the most amazing thing. The most amazing thing is that this rift itself is filled with the power of the Great Dao Seed, and now that it has formed a portal, it can be regarded as another kind of Great Dao Seed.
Just like I did just now, as long as my cultivation is sufficient and I can withstand the backlash of the great power, I can absorb its power and use it to advance to the Nascent Soul stage!
“In the past, the Seed of the Great Dao needed to be refined as a whole. After a cultivator advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, the Seed of the Great Dao would disappear. Only when the older generation of Nascent Soul cultivators was about to transcend could it be peeled off again and then infused with great power. But from then on, the situation was very different.”
Advancing to the Divine Transformation stage no longer involves refining the entire Seed of the Great Dao.
Instead, it draws its power from the Gate of Transcendence!
It should be understood that the power of the Nascent Soul stage within the Gate of Transcendence is, in a sense, limitless; as long as this world exists, it will never be exhausted!
"In this situation."
"Cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage will break free from the limitations of the Seed of the Great Dao. They will no longer be limited to one person, but to everyone. As long as their cultivation is sufficient, they can advance to the Nascent Soul stage!"
Thinking of this, Lü Yang was full of admiration, utterly amazed.
Immediately afterward, he thought of a sentence engraved on the cover of the "Book of a Hundred Generations," left by "Jun," which vaguely echoed his Dao.
I abhor the unequal distribution of the Way, and now I will restore equality for you all.
he made it!
From this point on, the Nascent Soul stage, which was originally limited to one person, was opened to all cultivators, and everyone had the potential to achieve Nascent Soul status!
"Senior, you are truly admirable."
Turning around, Lü Yang solemnly bowed to the Taoist priest, then asked with a hint of curiosity, "Senior, do you really still need to find a way to transcend?"
The Taoist priest smiled.
"If I only wanted to transcend worldly affairs, I would have abandoned them and left this world countless years ago. But my grand ambition has not been fulfilled, how can I simply leave?"
The path to becoming a deity has not yet been shared among all people; how can one transcend it?
Sure enough.
[Jun]'s strength is stronger than imagined, a fact that Lü Yang had already guessed from the many fancy abilities in the [Hundred Worlds Book].
that's the truth.
The power of reopening in the [Divine Destiny Book] can only reopen things; it cannot provide talents or bring back items, making it incomparable to the [Hundred Lifetimes Book].
"but."
Thinking of this, Lü Yang couldn't help but ask, "Senior, your chances of winning this big game are actually not high. If I make a mistake, your efforts will all be in vain."
"What should we do, senior?"
The Taoist remained calm: "If I fail, I will choose to perish, delay the final calamity, and usher in a new era. To die seeking the Tao is to die a worthy death."
It turned out to be the case.
Lu Yang nodded slightly, then tentatively asked, "Isn't the risk too great?"
"Only in this way can we solve the problem once and for all."
The Taoist shook his head: "Since the beginning of the universe, I have been the first to transform into a Nascent Soul in all generations. If I do not do it, it will be difficult for future generations to do it. No matter how great the risk, it is imperative."
Fortunately, it was successful in the end.
At this point, the Taoist looked at Lü Yang with a smile on his lips: "We also owe a lot to you. In fact, you did a much better job than I expected."
"The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes is indeed the trump card I prepared for this big picture, but a hundred lifetimes is still too few. I didn't actually have high hopes."
"The master of [variables], truly deserving of the title."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Taoist priest showed a rather gratified expression:
"Once this is accomplished, everyone will have the potential to become a god."
"The so-called final tribulation is at most nothing more than a Nascent Soul cultivator. Over time, even if you just pile them up, you can still kill them."
"The doomed future has been shattered by [variables]."
"This is a great achievement no less than transcendence. Fellow Daoist was able to refine the great power so smoothly and achieve the Nascent Soul stage, which is also somewhat related to the imagery within it."
As he spoke, the Taoist's figure gradually became blurred.
Lu Yang immediately noticed this change and couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what's going on?"
"My time has come."
The Taoist priest didn't say much, but nodded and said, "Your merits are complete, and today you should be able to transcend—which is exactly the time for transcendence observed in history."
"I'll leave Zixiao Palace to you, fellow Daoist."
"I ask you to take good care of that child Lu Xian and the ancient Dao Ancestors. The future of Guanghai is now in your hands."
Lü Yang nodded solemnly.
He has not yet reached the point where he can transcend worldly desires, and even if he could, it would not be now. As mentioned before, he still has many karmic ties to sever in the mortal world.
The next instant, the Taoist priest vanished completely before Lü Yang's eyes.
It was as if they had never existed.
Lu Yang bowed to the spot, then lowered his gaze and fell from that distant place into the starting point of the current world.
At this point in time, in the ancient land of China.
The previous great battle between the Dao Ancestors and the cataclysmic calamity that destroyed the world were nothing but an illusion, never actually happening in this real world.
The future of the Sea of Light is still only in its infancy.
"Boom!"
In the next instant, Lü Yang's consciousness pierced through numerous obstacles, broke through the veil of darkness, and descended upon the ancient divine land, landing on the futon in the Zixiao Palace.
"Daoist Master!?"
Almost simultaneously, Lu Xian appeared beside the prayer mat, his face full of surprise: "I haven't seen you all these years. I thought you had transcended worldly concerns."
".Um!?"
Lu Xian's voice abruptly stopped, and he met Lu Yang's gaze as Lu Yang sat upright on the futon. In an instant, countless memories came flooding back.
"I see."
After a moment, Lu Xian sighed softly and wiped his eyes: "Dao Zun has already left without saying goodbye. I'm sorry to have troubled you, senior."
"It's alright."
Lu Yang raised his head, his gaze piercing through the years, looking not only at the cultivators of the present Shenzhou, but also overcoming obstacles to look towards the future Guanghai Era.
"Fellow Daoists, come here."
With a slight parting of his lips, the immense power of a divine being shook the mortal realm, resounding throughout all time and space. From Dao Ancestors and Dao Lords to mortals, everyone heard the sound.
Not only mortals, but countless beings, whether flying in the sky, walking on the ground, or swimming in the sea, whether alive or dead, past, present, or future, regardless of their state or cultivation level, whether human or demon, all arrived at the gates of Zixiao Palace upon hearing this soft call.
Everyone saw the person on the prayer mat.
No self-introduction is needed; just by seeing his figure, as if gazing upon the Great Dao, his title naturally arises in one's mind.
He is the master of change, the supreme ruler of change.
Because of its great achievements that surpassed those of its ancestors, the world was free from the threat of the final calamity, and everyone had the opportunity to become a deity, the gateway to transcendence, and the path to enlightenment was unobstructed.
"I have met you, [Xuan Shu Zhi Yi Dao Zun]!"
In the crowd, Lü Yang saw Si Chong, Ang Xiao, the World Honored One, Ancestor Ting You, Demon-Slaying True Man, and Suo Huan.
This is all his karma.
However, this time will be different.
Because the First Saint was used as a tool and permanently fixed at the Gate of Transcendence, his original position in time and space also disappeared without a trace.
The future will change, and he is the source of everything.
Thinking of this, Lü Yang suddenly smiled wryly: 'In a sense, I could actually be called a [First Saint] now.'
I never imagined that after all this cultivation, I would become the first saint.
'But this time, I'll give it a completely different meaning.'
The future will surely be an even better Guanghai!
Upon realizing this, Lü Yang immediately blinked rapidly at the familiar faces of the people from the future Light Sea era below.
Listening to the Netherworld Ancestor, Demon-Slaying True Man, Sou Huan, Empress Xiao Hongyun, Chongguang, Mu Changsheng, Old Dragon Lord, Feixue, [Angxiao], World Honored One, Dao Tianqi, Mending the Sky's Flaw, Refining the Heavenly Pocket, Great Sword Sect, Si Chong.
After a long while, Lü Yang finally looked away.
The next second, past and future, all living beings, all heard that powerful, resounding song, symbolizing the arrival of a new era:
"Suddenly a thought arises that annihilates the world, and the fate of all ages in the mortal realm is sealed."
"Desiring to carve a chasm from the sea of suffering, I dare to seize the work of immortals from eternity."
"Neither cause nor effect is the eternal way; it is unrestrained and without beginning or end."
"Don't say that the way of Heaven is hard to change; just look beyond the nine heavens—"
New scars are tearing the old sky apart!
