The peerless black hand that covers the sky

Chapter 1051 Are we that kind of people?!

I yearn for the high plateau, and I feel that I suffered from my lack of knowledge and culture back then.

If it had had such awareness and understanding back then... would everything that followed have happened?
However, it reconsidered, shook its head, and dismissed the idea.

I have a feeling that if it had been this ruthless back then, treating even its ancestors as cattle and horses, subjecting them to performance evaluations, and turning them into playthings of algorithms... it might have made a fortune for a while, but in the long run, something terrible would have happened.

Perhaps, under duress, even the ancient overlords, riddled with sores on their heads and oozing pus from their feet, might have to put aside their grudges and disputes, form a united front against the plateau consciousness, and fight for justice and light!
In fact, it's not very difficult, and you don't need to change the operation too much.

It's still the same old story: the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit, the Four Extremes Floating Soil, the River of Souls, the Ancient Underworld... It's just a matter of adjusting the wording.

For example, the master of the Heavenly Emperor Burial Pit put on a mask to disguise his original unbridled hunting of the Heavenly Emperors. As he acted, his tiger eyes were filled with tears, and he sadly whispered to the Heavenly Emperors: "In order to resist the dark plateau, I need your Dao Fruits to construct a dimensional map... Billions of remains as soldiers, millions of Corpse Emperors as generals, please help me!"

For example, the ruler of the River of Souls wanders on the path of reincarnation, saying, "In order to defeat the strange and to defeat the ominous, we need necessary sacrifices. With the most stubborn and crazy obsession, we will condense a sharp blade that even darkness cannot corrode or twist... Are you willing to throw your last souls into it and fight for this goal?"

Etc., etc.

Before the strange era, they were overlords; in the ominous age, they were the men behind the progenitors; and in the era of the ancestral court, they transformed into helpful Dao Lords.

They are too flexible and adept at distorting the truth, using the name of justice to achieve their own evil pursuits... The Plateau Consciousness group doesn't engage in high-pressure operations; they also fight among themselves, single-mindedly trying to drag their "good teammates" down.

However, if the plateau consciousness becomes too strong and too prominent, they might just unite directly.

What's even more terrifying is that when an ancient overlord goes alone, although it is dangerous and powerful, he can still easily crush those within the range of high-altitude consciousness.

However, if they unite and share all their achievements... the consequences will be severe and terrifying!
Because behind every hegemon is a powerful figure!

It is a chess piece, an area of ​​exploration, and a strategy set up by an unparalleled demon ancestor in order to fight against the master of the three-life bronze coffin!
Even a simple combination of these fields and policies shapes a person!

—The Evil Ancestor!
Four outposts were projected onto him, and he endured life-and-death struggles and hardships... On him, one could see many traces of ancient overlords exploring new territories, only with some adjustments and adaptations.

Some wanted to plant trees, so the Evil Ancestor planted Mother Gold; some were busy cultivating similar flowers, but the Evil Ancestor didn't need anyone else to do it, as he himself constantly died and came back to life; some were building Dark Outposts, so the Evil Ancestor also built four major outposts and was trying to integrate them together; some were without beginning or end, while the Evil Ancestor dreamt of eternity, roaming the heavens...

In a sense, the Evil Ancestor can be seen as a combination of the wisdom of the Ten Overlords, and his achievements are obvious to all.

Similarly, this is why the Evil Ancestor suffered countless setbacks along the way, but once he faced an ancient overlord, his battle record skyrocketed.

Because it is equivalent to a coalition of hegemons, a possibility for them to put aside personal grudges and cooperate!
When the consciousness of the plateau pushes the ancient overlords to the brink, forcing them to join forces, perhaps countless years ago a demonic ancestor would emerge, step onto the plateau, and fight the consciousness within to determine the victor's fate!
Thinking about it this way, I felt relieved about the high altitude – vegetables have their advantages too!

At the same time, it has to admit that in the realm of "being a bad guy," the ancient overlords were indeed more professional!
It sighed inwardly, realizing how cunning and deceitful the world was; it longed to return to the plateau!

Unfortunately, it couldn't go back; there was a powerful deity living there, making it feel extremely uncomfortable.

And there was a little flower that looked at it with a bitter and resentful expression, constantly muttering to itself, "I'm not strong yet, but when I'm strong, things will change..."

Is this ridiculous?

He had no choice but to start his own business, and he hit it off with the three powerful figures who were on the verge of bankruptcy and lacked investment.

Now, they have "united," but it seems they've gone too far. They've only given a little sunshine, and the three overlords are already showing off a new world.

“Your plan is good,” the Highland Consciousness acknowledged their strategy, but then raised objections, “However, as you say, the progenitors will all be attacked… Can you really avoid that?”

"Ultimately, everything you've done is a provocation. How can the Evil Ancestor tolerate this?"

"If He were to take action against you then... what would you do?"

This is a major problem that cannot be ignored!

Ultimately, all of this planning is based on the "main god" model, which puts it at a disadvantage from the start.

Just as later generations may be extraordinary in their spiritual attainments, the ownership of concepts such as reincarnation and true spirit, as well as the final right of interpretation, are all in the hands of the owner of the Three-Life Coffin. Who can defeat Him?
"Indeed, the Evil Ancestor exerts a suppressive effect on us..."

The three overlords exchanged a smile. "But don't forget, we are not without a backup plan... Even though our past achievements were seized by the Evil Ancestor and merged into the 'Main God,' they still contained our hard work and continued our line of thinking."

"Use our methods against us? Ha! We admit that the Evil Ancestor is very powerful. Throughout history, few people can defeat Him... However, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise. Do you think you can easily wipe us out in these areas? Impossible!"

"Secondly, compared to us... Evil Ancestor should deal with that little flower first!"

The Jade Emperor said casually, "Although we've made a fortune under the 'main god' model, in the end, it's still about supporting and recognizing its ideology..."

"Because he advocates 'all other pursuits are inferior, only dreams are noble,' we have our studio's boosting service model, using reasonable yet extreme methods to achieve dreams... In essence, we complement each other."

"But that little flower went there with the will to change the world; she wanted to reshape the understanding of all living beings, redefine the concept of sacrifice, and overturn the table!"

"That's bound to create a huge wave... After all, although this ornamental flower isn't very capable, the attitude of the person behind her can't be ignored!"

"The fact that she was able to reach out from under the seal of the Red-haired Ancestor is shocking; it means that being has intervened!"

"The Evil Ancestor was previously beaten severely by that being, and I wonder where he is now hiding to lick his wounds... Now that the Copper Coffin Master's ornamental flower has sprouted, can he just deal with it casually?"

"There will inevitably be a long period of entanglement and struggle... which will give us ample time to develop!"

"Once we've reached our peak..."

The three overlords sneered in unison, "At that time, who truly became the 'God' is a matter for debate!"

"It's not uncommon for founders to be ousted in this world!"

“One day, we will redefine the ownership of the ‘main god’…to whom does it truly belong?”

"Isn't it the Evil Ancestor?" the high plateau consciousness wondered.

"That was true in the past, but is it necessarily true in the future?" the Lord of Fate murmured. "After all, the slogan shouted by the Evil Ancestor was... to help all living beings fulfill their dreams!"

"The Evil Ancestor has set his sights too high!"

"This certainly gave him legitimacy from the very beginning, placing him on a pedestal and allowing him to legitimately advance his plans."

"However, if you wish to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!"

"Be careful, once you stand on the altar, you won't be able to get down!"

"According to his theory, dreams belong to all beings, and the 'God' is merely a tool for all beings to realize their dreams."

"He gained power because of this, and he will inevitably face a backlash because of it in the end."

"One day, when people want to change their 'tools,' or to clarify the ownership of their 'tools,' they will choose a more suitable representative..."

"So... does the Evil Ancestor agree or disagree?"

"We're really looking forward to it!"

Mahayana chuckled softly, “If the Evil Ancestor’s original intention is good, and his execution is also good, then we naturally have no way to stop him.”

"But what if... he can't withstand the scrutiny of the public, or the test of time...?" "Then, our opportunity will come!"

"Although our actions weren't exactly those of good people, as we exploited the substitute players we recruited to the extreme..."

He said calmly, "But we also have our explanation!"

"That's all... serving all living beings!"

"To serve all beings, I endure hardship as a worker, unafraid of suffering or fatigue, and do my utmost to serve the dreams of all beings..."

"Can the Evil Ancestor compare to him in this respect?"

"Look!"

"Doesn't that establish the image?"

The Buddha of the Great Vehicle Mountain King smiled and said, “When I seize the authority of the ‘Lord God,’ I will take that step toward transcendence.”

As he spoke, the eyes of the Jade Emperor and the Lord of Fate suddenly deepened, and this space-time became instantly still.

The Mahayana Mountain King Buddha seemed oblivious, continuing to speak softly.

"Save all living beings...save all living beings!"

“I used extreme methods in the past, but they were blocked by other like-minded people…”

"Later, something strange swept through, and I joined in, establishing the Four Extremes Floating Earth, but the number of beings it could encompass was still limited, and it was fought over and suppressed by others..."

"Later, I joined the Ancestral Court. My original intention remained unchanged, but I made sweeping changes to many details, incorporating pollen particles as an important piece of the puzzle. Unfortunately, there were too many powerful figures on this path. Even though I was confident that I could suppress the Pollen Emperor, it was clear that the Pollen Emperor's achievements on this path were not even qualified for the top five..."

"Now that the Evil Ancestor has evolved into a 'Main God,' I finally understand how to cross this threshold!"

"To fulfill the dreams of all beings... that is true salvation!"

“In the past, I was single-mindedly dedicated to saving all sentient beings, but do they need me to save them? That is the question.”

He said slowly, “Now, all beings have their own hearts, their own desires, and what they truly pursue… and by lending a helping hand at this time, I can easily accord with their wishes and truly save them!”

"My path can be achieved!"

"My two old friends, you won't stop me, will you?"

Mahayana suddenly looked at the Jade Emperor and the Lord of Fate, and asked with a smile.

"a ha ha ha……"

The two overlords were taken aback at first, then both burst into hearty laughter, though it was somewhat stiff.

“Da Cheng, what are you saying!” they said in unison, as if they were on the same wavelength. “Are we the kind of people who can’t stand seeing our teammates together?”

"Is he the kind of person who already guesses how you're going to transcend, but pretends not to know, just to lower your guard, and then quietly sabotages you at the most crucial moment of your transcendence, causing you to fail at the last minute?"

They looked heartbroken, as if Mahayana's attitude had deeply saddened them and was a desecration of their friendship!

Mahayana remained silent, simply watching them with a subtle expression.

—Isn't that so?

Under such scrutiny, the Jade Emperor and the Lord of Fate gradually lost their pretense.

Their expressions turned serious. "If you don't expose this, we might really betray you at some crucial moment in the future..."

"Sigh, my own failure is certainly regrettable, but my teammates' success is even more heartbreaking... let alone their success right in front of me."

The two sighed and spoke frankly.

"!!!"

The high plateau was shocked, both by the fact that even at this point, a hegemon like Mahayana could still have such lofty ambitions and actually have a chance of success; and by the love and hatred between ancient hegemons, some of whom had admitted that they would stab their teammates in the back at crucial moments!

None of them are easy to deal with!

“We are now in the same boat, and we should work together as one…” Mahayana whispered.

“But once you transcend, you will no longer be the same,” the Jade Emperor smiled. “At that time, you will have the power to betray our group.”

"Above the sacrificial path, completely transcending it, they will be extremely hostile to your existence because of what you have done, like the Pollen Emperor and the Desolate Heaven Emperor. Even if they have transcended it, and can defeat you, they can only defeat you."

"Losing face, compromising and negotiating... even betraying the two of us to appease them, I don't think you're incapable of doing it."

The person in charge of destiny said calmly.

It's better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me!

This is nothing new!

They might even be going through it right now!
It should be noted that beneath the high plateau lies four major outposts.

And here, are there only a few outpost commanders?
Three!

The Daoist Master didn't come!

Moreover, the being that is now protecting them is actually the highland consciousness that they once embezzled and took advantage of, not the Dao Venerable!

To put it nicely, this is drawing a clear line.

To put it bluntly, this is a betrayal of them!

Such is the way of the Daoist.

If Mahayana Buddhism is developed and transcends worldly concerns... will things be any different?

Once the river is crossed, the bridge is destroyed; once the millstone is used, the donkey is killed...

—Teammates? What are teammates?

—The Jade Emperor and the Lord of Fate?
—Not familiar, not familiar!

They could even imagine the scene: a bald monk facing the Desolate Emperor and the Pollen Emperor, waving his hands repeatedly, saying that he was kind by nature and that the reason he established the four outposts to wreak havoc on the world was because of the instigation of the Jade Emperor and the Lord of Fate!
"Justice will not be absent, at most it will be delayed... Now, I entrust their lives to you, do as you please!"

Mahayana, with a straight face, was secretly overjoyed as he ate the blood-soaked buns of the Jade Emperor and the Lord of Fate.
