Chapter 624
"Eh……?"
Compared to the panic and bewilderment of the three ancients, Dongxian was obviously stunned for a while before exclaiming as if she was half a beat behind, as if she hadn't reacted for a while.
--First Generation.
It is only used to distinguish the honorific title of the original crown prince after the succession of the master.
As an existence that saved the entire fairy land in a sense, his status is naturally beyond doubt.
Bravery, sacrifice, redemption, strength... These beautiful adjectives seem to be nothing too much when they are pressed on that being.
So much so that his real name, like the leader, is rarely mentioned again.
For so many years, Dongxian's only impression of this Mianxia who once held the blue lantern comes from the usual chats with Jiangnan.
And even Jiangnan, whose eyes are above the top, has a very high opinion of this one.He is called the savior of the entire fairyland.
But now, in the reflection left in the long river of time, there are some scenes that do not meet the mainstream evaluation.
——This first-generation crown prince who had already died in the decisive battle with "disaster", appeared in front of his successor, and began to absorb and devour his essence and vitality.
I have to say, quite unexpected.
As an outsider, Dong Xian is still like this.
Then the three ancients who have looked up to this lord since childhood and grew up all the way are even more unbelievable.
When they were born in this world, the first-generation Mianxia was already the most humane, and when they broke through the fairyland and achieved great power, the first-generation Mianxia was still an unattainable existence... It can be said that this person has penetrated the three worlds. The first half of an ancient man's life.
As an example, as the sun, as the only lighthouse to guide them in the dark sea of practice.
Very longing.
Today, this vision is shattered.
"No... There should be something wrong, it shouldn't be like this..." Tianxin Daozu frowned and looked at such a scene, unable to believe it.
No one answered.
It was not until a long time later that Daozu Zhangyue let out a long sigh, "But it stands to reason that the reflections in the long river of time are all things that really happened - there is absolutely no possibility of falsification."
"Indeed..." Dongxian's voice also rang out, echoing in the ears of the three of them: "I'm just using Jiangnan's supernatural powers to reproduce what happened in the long river of time. There may be some omissions, but there will never be falsehoods." .”
After the words fell, the three ancients looked at each other and remained silent.
Only the Taoist ancestor of Shengong seemed to be able to calm down a little bit, and shook his head lightly: "Don't worry, just read on."
In the projection of the illusory long river of time, everything is still happening quietly.
Although the three ancient men and Dong Xian were whispering and watching them comment, the two people on the stone platform still didn't notice it at all. He and Dongxian are just going back to what happened in the past, and they can't affect anything.
Even if they make an earth-shattering disturbance, they can't lift a single speck of dust.
In the dense light, on the gray and white rough stone platform, the fusion of orthodoxy is still going on.
The remnant soul named as the first-generation mianzi looked at the leader with his eyes closed, and there were many expressions in his eyes-painful, unwilling, unbearable...
But the movement of his hands didn't stop at all.
The master's strength, vitality, essence... was drawn by him like flowing water, and gradually, his illusory body became a little more condensed.
And as time passed bit by bit, the leader who was immersed in the integration with the orthodoxy, with his eyes closed, also frowned, as if he sensed something was wrong.
——Actually, from the very beginning, he felt the passing of vitality, but at that time he just thought that it was a necessary stage for the integration of Taoism, until the "swallowing" became more and more wanton and crazy, at this time Only then did the boss realize that something was wrong!
If this goes on like this, I am afraid that before inheriting the orthodoxy, my own people will be sucked dry first.
He opened his eyes in confusion and bewilderment, and met the eyes of the remnant soul of the first generation.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
In the cloudy eyes of the leader, the first thing that appeared was ecstasy!
He opened his mouth wide, as if he was talking about something.
But the next moment, he finally noticed something was wrong.
——It was the person I respected and admired in front of me who was absorbing and devouring my vitality and essence!
At that moment, the expression on the leader's face became astonished, puzzled, bewildered, puzzled, angry...the list goes on!
Looking at the phantom figure of the first generation, he roared and questioned as if he had been betrayed!
Although the three ancients couldn't hear his voice, they could probably see the extreme intensity of emotion just from the jaw-dropping appearance!
But... it didn't work.
I don't know if it's because they are inheriting the orthodoxy, or because the first generation used some means.
Even if the leader finds out the clues, tearing and waving his hands in the void indiscriminately, he can't move half a bit, and the power of the fairyland can't be used at all. He can only watch the vitality in his body go away bit by bit. Little by little, it becomes someone else's thing!
Time passes little by little.
In the process of devouring Ganzhu's vitality, Ganzhu's reaction changed from anger and incomprehension at the beginning, to numbness, despair, and then unwillingness and resentment...and so on and on and on.
Just watching, the three ancients felt a chill in their hearts!
The kind of despair of watching one's own life go by, makes people feel at a loss when they think about it.
In the cave, the years are hard to count.
In short, although the main body, as a fairyland existence, has a noble personality and great vitality, he gradually became weak under the engulfment day after day.
On the contrary, the illusory figure of the first generation became more and more solid.
This is a long time.
Finally at some point.
In the extreme anger, unwillingness, resentment and despair, all the actions of the leader were frozen at that moment.
He raised his arms high, as if he wanted to take back something, his face was ferocious, full of resentment, and he fell silent forever.
But that first generation has borrowed the personality and vitality of a fairyland to become extremely solid!
As soon as he waved his hand, the orthodoxy in the dry master's corpse was extracted and fell into his hands.
At the beginning, Daotong seemed unwilling to give in, and the light flashed in the mist, as if he was resisting.
But the first generation stared at it, but pressed it into the body abruptly!
At this point, he is fully resurrected!
He looked at the younger generation's corpse with complex expressions in his eyes, and then his appearance changed accordingly, becoming exactly the same as the master.
——It was the appearance that ruled Qiandao for countless thousands of years later.
Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his hand, and a terrifying celestial power condensed in it, crushing the void, as if making the entire projection flicker.
But at that moment, there was a look of struggle in his eyes again, and he did not commit any act of destroying the corpse.
After a long silence, he turned around and walked out of the cave.
Amidst the loud rumble, the stone door closed.
The next moment, the line of sight came to the top of the Tianshan Mountain, and the leader of the main road, who inherited the orthodox lineage, came to rule the world, and all sentient beings bowed their heads!
Then, the three ancients knew what happened afterwards.
With Dongxian's control, the projection of the long river of time is completely frozen at this moment.
In the frozen time, the three ancients remained silent for a long time.
At this point, the truth is revealed.
——From the very beginning, their old friends did not inherit the orthodoxy.He was the one who entered the cave, but the one who walked out of the cave was the first generation who returned from the corpse.
silence.
As if in the frozen river of time, the three ancients were silent and didn't know what expression to make.
"Well... indeed, it's unexpected..." Dongxian's voice came from Jiangnan's body, slightly breaking the stiff atmosphere.
The three ancients raised their heads.
Daoist Tianxing frowned, and slowly shook his head, "No, even though I saw it with my own eyes, I still think—it's not quite right."
He groped his chin, with a look of suspicion in his eyes: "The first generation, no matter what, shouldn't be the guy who can do this kind of thing. Or... If he was afraid of death, if he wanted to live no matter what, he wouldn't have done it in the first place." Maybe take that thing to die resolutely!"
This is illogical.
When disaster strikes, if the first generation who has the power to control that treasure just wants to survive, then he only needs to disregard the fairy land and transcend the world, and even disaster will not be able to do anything to him.
But he resolutely broke into the restricted area, paid the price of his life, and destroyed the disaster.
With such a determination that is almost mortal, how could he personally kill the master who is a disciple and younger generation and revive his body?
Isn't this completely superfluous?
"I also think that there should be something tricky in it."
The Daoist of Shengong also shook his head, "Leaving nothing else aside, if that ray of remnant soul is really the first generation, then when he finally merged with the Taoism, the Taoism would not be able to resist so obviously - because before the disaster came, the entire fairy land The orthodoxy is in his hands."
"Then let's see?" Dong Xian pondered, "See the result of that battle?"
"I'm sorry to trouble you." The three ancients cupped their hands.
As soon as the words fell, the magical talisman above the heads of the four burst out with endless brilliance!
The majestic power of Dao Xing spilled into the void.
The long river of time, once again against the current!
Everything seems to be reversed!
Time, back to the time when the disaster came, after the first generation broke into the restricted area.
In the endless darkness, the sky is dim and the earth is dark, time and space are extremely broken here, resulting in only meaningless distorted pictures presented in front of the eyes of the three ancients.
The only thing they can feel is the two terrifying forces in this battlefield, colliding and colliding with each other!
——Even though it is the shrine that has inherited the orthodox lineage, it feels frightened by these two terrifying forces!
The fight between the first generation and the disaster is still going on.
What appeared in front of the eyes of the four were only the huge jet-black eyes that flickered once in a while, and that perfect human figure that hovered above the void.
Every collision makes the entire fairyland world overwhelmed and crumbling!
Split!
Finally at a certain moment, the two sides who tried their best collided again!The terrifying power turbulent the void, and directly shattered the entire fairyland, dividing it into four parts!
And the fight came to an end at this moment.
At the same time, because of the weakening of the interference from both sides, the picture seen by the four finally became slightly clearer.
——The pitch-black pupils that seemed to cover the sky and the earth were shattered, and the endless black mist dissipated, and it was even impossible to maintain its shape.
On the side of the first generation, the body exuding faint fluorescence is like a sculpture, standing in the void, but there is a dead silence in the eyes.
It is certain that he has completely lost his soul, leaving only a shell.
At the same time, two rays of light flew out of his body.
One of them was blue, which gave Dongxian an extremely familiar feeling—it was the blue lantern, and it was also covered with cracks, turning into light spots all over the sky, spilling down the fairy soil, the lower world, and the void.
The other ray of light is constructed by endless mysterious runes, as if representing the entire fairy land, divided into four, and sprinkled into the four divided fairy lands.
Needless to say, this ray of light is naturally orthodox.Among them, the orthodoxy belonging to the main road passed through the endless void, fell into the bottom of Tianshan Mountain, and sank into the sky of Qianlan Cave.
Whether it is the Qingdeng or the Taoism of Immortal Earth, after the first generation died completely, they broke away from his body and scattered in all directions.
——And from this point of view, at least after this battle, the first generation really died completely.
Otherwise, no matter Qingdeng or Daotong, it is impossible to leave him.
The three ancients looked at each other with complicated expressions.
On the one hand, they are thankful that the existence they admired and respected by themselves and others is not the man behind the scene who took away the vitality of the leader.
On the other hand, witnessing this tragic battle with their own eyes also made the three ancients feel a lot of emotion.
In addition, unexplainable doubts also arise.
——At this point in time, the first generation is really completely wiped out.That being the case, who is the guy who will be resurrected from the corpse in the Tianshan Mountains soon?
"Could it be...a calamity?" Daozu Zhangyue frowned, his first reaction was the calamity that was also severely injured.
"No, it's impossible." Daoist Tianxing was the first to shake his head, "If it's really him, it will be impossible to continue to make the main road prosperous for countless thousands of years."
After the words fell, the Taoist ancestor of Shengong also nodded, "Yes, if the leader who has ruled the main road for countless thousands of years is really a disaster, why would he send those crows to bewitch him all these years, it's unnecessary."
"Then... who could he be?" Daozu Zhangyue lowered his eyes, extremely puzzled.
Looking at that impostor's life, apart from the days after he was bewitched by crows to start the Ganli war in recent years, at least for a long time before that, he made wise decisions and worked hard to bring about great prosperity to Qiandao.
This is also one of the reasons why the three ancients did not notice the abnormality.
So what is certain is that he will not be a member of the calamity camp.
But the humanitarian camp... the three ancients couldn't figure out his identity.
"He... seems to have appeared out of nowhere, without any trace." The Taoist ancestor Xiu Xiu frowned.
can not explain.
"Wait." Dong Xian's voice suddenly broke the silence, as if she had thought of something, she exclaimed, "I see!"
The three ancients suddenly raised their heads and widened their eyes.
"—He is both the first generation and not the first generation." Dong Xian took a deep breath and said.
The three ancients: "?"
It was difficult for them to understand this sentence, but Dongxian realized everything at that moment.
"That counterfeit...as you said, it did appear out of thin air."
"--because I."
Compared to the panic and bewilderment of the three ancients, Dongxian was obviously stunned for a while before exclaiming as if she was half a beat behind, as if she hadn't reacted for a while.
