Chapter 684
The Will of the World
Up to now, it cannot be said that the truth is completely revealed and the truth is revealed.
But at least one question that has plagued Jiangnan for a long time has been explained.
——That is the identity of the hairy man.
The guy behind everything and leading everything is himself.
As messy as it may sound, it is what it is.
The guy who interrupted the long river of time, the guy who left such fetishes as green lanterns to Jiangnan, and the guy who enlightened Dongxian was none other than Jiangnan himself.
But, even so, there are more questions.
For example... How did two Jiangnans come into being?
From the phantasm Jiangnan saw earlier, he can almost be sure that everything that happened now—including from Shangyuan, Feixianxing, Lidao, Qiandao, and Kunkan Erdao, everything he experienced, The other one has experienced it all by himself.
——Even though there are many differences in details, the general situation basically remains unchanged.
Because in the phantasm he saw, except for the point that "Dongxian does not exist", the rest of the old people appeared on the stage one by one.
At least it can explain that in the experience of the other self, except for the absence of Dongxian, everything else is similar.
So here comes the question, what is the relationship between Jiangnan and his other self?
Ontology?
Doppelganger?
Or is he just a similar flower created by him?
Judging from what he said in the illusion, it is not difficult for Jiangnan to guess the development of the story.
——After the other self got the last blue lantern fragment of the Kunkan Erdao in another timeline that had been destroyed, the other self returned to the Qianli Erdao, and then disaster struck, and the immortals fought against each other.
In the end, the other one made a move by himself, brazenly suppressing the source of all disasters, "disasters", with the terrifying power embodied by the complete group of blue lanterns.
When I arrived here, everything should be happy and happy, just like it was written in the book, with a happy ending.
But an accident happened.
——Even if Zhen killed "Calamity" and completely annihilated her into nothingness, the disaster did not stop.
Even more terrifying.
It was so terrifying that even the other self was caught off guard and could only watch the terrifying power of the immortal land being destroyed.
And here has to involve an "existence".
That was the other person he was talking to in the illusion.
Jiang Nan clearly remembered that after the destruction of the calamity and the destruction of the fairy land, another self, under the anger, started a dialogue with some existence.
Although the other party didn't reply, Jiang Nan could somewhat guess some clues from what the other person said.
First of all, the "disaster" that has always been identified as the source is not the culprit.
From another self's words, Jiangnan learned what existed behind the "disaster".Secondly, that existence seems to have the terrifying power to dominate this world, everything in the world is born from it, and everything will eventually disappear from it.
After the "disaster" failed to destroy the fairy land, it directly destroyed the entire world.
Including the fairy land, the starry sky of the lower realm, and everything else, intending to start all over again.
——This kind of thing, in the previous life, probably meant "formatting" and "resetting to factory settings".
But originally here, everything can also end, with the final "nothingness" as the ending, everything returns to silence, and everything returns to nothingness.
However, some people don't want to.
——Jiangnan.
The other Jiangnan forcibly pulled out the long river of time from the bottom of the world, and interrupted all the years of his appearance!Brutely erase all the things that have happened!
It's like reading a file.
Everything restarts!
And it seems that because of this behavior, the other self was kicked out by that existence, and it was difficult for him to step into this world in his life.
Although there are still many doubts, although there are many incomprehensible details, what Jiangnan can confirm is that this is probably the case.
So, he spent some time telling Dongxian everything.
Then, there was silence between the two of them.
After a long time, Dong Xian sighed softly: "So... you who know this, what are you going to do now?"
"What are you going to do?"
Jiang Nan seems to be thinking, and seems to be muttering to himself, "Although it is not clear whether what he said in the illusion is his real purpose, but the only thing that is certain is that the other self wants to stop it."
"—Stop the disaster, stop the destruction brought about by the existence behind the disaster, whether it is the fairy land or the lower realm, we must stop their destruction."
"At least on this point, he coincides with what I want to do now."
After a pause, he smiled wryly, "Or, my birth seems to be to stop all this?"
"As if everything has been arranged?" Dongxian's voice was a little worried, he was afraid that Jiangnan would not be able to accept such an established fate.
"Yes." Jiang Nan nodded, but shook his head, "But I can also be sure that even if the people I meet may have happened in the past, at least every choice I make is from the bottom of my heart—— Whether it's redemption or killing, you have a clear conscience and no regrets."
"Even if I do it again, I will make the same choice."
"Huh..." After hearing this, Dong Xian heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as Jiang Nan can take it easy, she doesn't have to worry.
"Then the question now is—"
At that moment, Jiang Nan's face darkened, and he said slowly: "If the scene in the illusion is destined to happen, then it seems that even in this era, we have truly consummated the green lantern and returned to Ganli Erdao Town to kill Even after the disaster, it seems that there is no escape from the final fate—behind the disaster, there is something that dominates everything in this world."
"If the disaster fails, it will reset the entire world—including the normal operation of the Nether Starry Universe."
"In the end, even if I survived again by chance and became another me, it seems that I can only do what he did again—interrupt the long river of time, restart everything, and do everything again?"
As he talked, Jiangnan seemed to be caught in an endless loop.
As if it would never go out.
Because there is a knot.
——The other self has not found a way to prevent the existence behind the disaster from resetting everything.
But today's Jiangnan has also not been found.
Although he has another help that he doesn't have - such as Dongxian, such as the experience of knowing everything in advance, such as the fire with unknown meaning...
But these, in the face of the "general trend" of resetting, seem to have no effect.
"Maybe another me, who has done so much, just hopes that I can find a way out-find a way to stop everything?"
"But where is this road?"
Looking at the distant horizon, Jiang Nan sighed and shook his head secretly.
"Perhaps, in order to stop the existence behind the disaster, we need to find out first—what is it?" Dongxian pondered tentatively: "Is it a certain person? Or is it a non-human existence? Or is it like a disaster?" What was born of the will of the world?"
Jiang Nan frowned.
Judging from the news he got in Gandao before, he knew that the existence of Immortal Soil was created by Qing Deng, and it is a "cancer" in this world, so the will of the world gave birth to things like "disaster" Come to destroy the fairy land.
That is to say...
"If its relationship with disaster is the relationship between the creator and the creation, then the existence that reset the entire world is...the world itself?"
Jiang Nan raised his head suddenly, with a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
The will of the world, although it is said so, the world itself does not have the popular "will" that humanity thinks.
At least for now, there is no evidence that the world is self-aware.
——No emotion, no sadness, no anger, more like a simple instinctive reaction.
Because of the cycle, the starry sky of the lower realm was created, so there was the cycle of birth and death.
Because the fairy land was born, only entering and exiting, so disaster was born, the source of destruction was born,
This is Jiangnan's understanding of the so-called will of the world.
But if this is the case, everything he has to do will only be more difficult.
After all, it sounds romantic to be an enemy of the world, but in practice it is courting death.
"Let's assume that what resets everything is the will of the world behind it."
"The question now is, is there any way to stop it?" Jiang Nan took a deep breath, without any clue.
At this moment, the sky flickered in the distance.
In an instant, several figures flashed in front of Jiang Nan, interrupting his train of thought.
After a closer look, it was the Sword Master and the others.
"Your Excellency, are you?"
Seeing Jiangnan standing halfway up the mountain, the Lord Momeng frowned and asked worriedly.
The rest of the people also thumped their hearts and stared nervously at Jiangnan.
——Although the latter did not participate in their plan, after seeing a lot, they can basically regard Jiangnan as the backbone.
A terrifying existence comparable to that of "King".
So when there is any problem in Jiangnan, everyone is naturally nervous.
After all, this is the ruthless man who killed the Dark Lord easily in front of the world.
"Nothing to do, come out for a walk."
Looking at them, Jiang Nan suddenly felt a sigh of relief.
Not long ago, he looked down at their futile struggle, and couldn't bear it.
But now, he is also in a quagmire.
Even the difficulties he has to face are much more terrifying than those faced by several saints.
After all, Master Juggernaut and the others just want to stop the two "kings", but what he wants to stop is very likely the whole world.
"I know, I know." Holy Master Tianyan nodded slightly, and didn't ask any more questions.
——Except for the naive Huangtian girl present, everyone else present is a weather-beaten old fritter. How can it be impossible to see that Jiangnan has something in his heart?
It's just that Jiangnan didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to ask more.
"By the way, Your Excellency, we contacted the two holy masters of Candao, and they told us something."
Tianyan Shengzhu recalled what he and others had just said when the two sword masters, Shengjun and Jianzhu, immediately caught up and said, "You should know, the totem of 'Night Bird'?"
Jiang Nan was taken aback and nodded.
When he first came to Xianshi, Chu Zhaowen explained to him about the overnight bird totem.
It is obviously a crow, but it has an auspicious name.
"Originally, we all thought that the night bird was just a totem of belief passed on by word of mouth among mortals—even if there were people with evil plans, at most they would just absorb some incense."
The Lord of Heavenly Eyes shook his head and said, "But later, we found out that's not the case at all."
Jiang Nan pondered: "Please continue."
"Night Bird, good at deceiving people!"
The Lord Tianyan took a deep breath and murmured: "Nowadays, in the entire Kunkan Second Dao and the vast territory, quite a few kingdoms and tribes who believe in night birds have been buried collectively—even according to a Holy Master in Kan Dao , his traveling clone, I was also bewitched by it."
After the words fell, Jiang Nan narrowed his eyes and shot out!
nocturnal?crow?Bewitched?
Why do these words become more and more familiar the more I hear them?
In the future, the "disaster" that will stir up wind and rain in the two paths, isn't the method used just like this?
"So, what do you think?" But Jiang Nan didn't point out. Instead, he looked at several people and asked.
Several Holy Masters looked at each other, and finally Wanyan Holy Master took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "We guess, I'm afraid this has something to do with the destruction of the Kunkan Second Dao—but thinking about it carefully, it doesn't feel right."
"After all, that level of bewitchment will never destroy the entire Kunkan Second Dao—even if the sum of those mortal little guys doubles, it is impossible to pose any threat to the existence of the two worlds."
Listening to his words, Jiang Nan nodded slightly, without denying or admitting, just said: "Understood."
Several people saluted respectfully and left one after another.
Only Jiangnan was left, thoughtful.
.
Another world.
The other side here does not refer to the barrier of space and time, but the real and completely separate world.
The vast starry sky, the endless star field, above a border star, in a small and inconspicuous country, in a mortal village, deep in a clean alley, in a wine shop.
Jiang Nan, who was dressed in green clothes, lay leisurely on the rocking chair, with a folding fan dangling on his face.
And beside him, the cold Tianxiang Pavilion Master snuggled up comfortably like a kitten.
Whisper.
With the aroma of wine overflowing, Xu Xu's words drifted into the air.
Now that the two of them have left their original world long ago, they are evolving the world in nothingness, so they are naturally free and talk about everything.
Qingyi Jiangnan also explained all the reasons one by one.
Including what Jiangnan has seen and known, and what he has not seen or known for the time being.
"Anyway, that's it."
"Many years ago, I failed."
"Many years from now, I hope he...does what I never did."
The owner of Tianxiang Pavilion raised his head: "Do you think he can do it?"
"Who knows?" Tsing Yi Jiangnan shook his head, "But he will always try, whether it is pain, tribulation, redemption or destruction, it has nothing to do with me."
"Another me, don't make my mistakes again."
"—These things he needs to do are probably the price he needs to pay after everything I give him?"
But at least one question that has plagued Jiangnan for a long time has been explained.
——That is the identity of the hairy man.
The guy behind everything and leading everything is himself.
As messy as it may sound, it is what it is.
