The peerless black hand that covers the sky

Chapter 997 It’s not me who’s wrong, it’s the world!
Anyone can become the Emperor of Heaven by walking the path to Heaven again!

The true spirit has never been unique. As the seed of human nature, it is just the carrier of self-consciousness. It is the standard configuration of all sentient beings and their appearance configuration is the same.

What is truly precious is the unique experience, the information engraved on the hardware, which carves out humanity, shining and brilliant.

In terms of influence, the true spirit is not even as good as blood... because blood can return to one's ancestors, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and the traces left by the predecessors in the blood may affect the innate talents of later generations.

After all, there really is such a thing as a "criminal gene", which makes one more likely to exhibit vicious behavior and has a strong correlation with mental cognition, emotional control, and impulse control, affecting the life of the inheritor.

Emotional disorders, difficulty in empathy, fear of death... the influence of blood is pervasive. In order to continue over the long years and adapt to the environment, it has undergone countless mutations and still survived.

Of course, there is a very "bad" side to human nature, and there is also a "good" side. Sacrifice, dedication, pioneering... can also be passed on in the blood.

“The original human nature is boundless, a blank slate that can be painted by anyone, with infinite possibilities.”

The elegant man raised his hand and pressed it to his heart. He said in a deep voice, "In that state, you have no name or substance, but you have an infinite future."

"But when living beings come into this world, as they grow and experience, they construct their own ideas about who they are. Then, these infinite possibilities gradually collapse and become fixed shapes."

"The more you understand this world, the more you clarify yourself, and the further you are from the original 'Wuji'!"

The elegant man said, "We are moving from 'Wuji' to 'Taiji'!"

"Tai Chi is the gathering and abstraction of everything in this world!"

As he spoke, the God Emperor lost himself in thought, as if he had seen the most fundamental truth of spiritual practice in this world… When a person is born, he breaks through the peculiar state of “Wuji”, and when he embarks on the path of spiritual practice, he embarks on the path of pursuing “Tai Chi”.

The stronger it is, the more perfect "Tai Chi" will be!
“In this way…” The Divine Emperor suddenly realized, “When perfection reaches an extreme, reaching the end of the road, it also means the peak of ‘humanity’, turning into the string in the ‘Tai Chi’, twisting and dividing the world.”

At this moment, he felt as if something had suddenly dawned on him.

To reach the end of the road, it means that there needs to be a system, a path of evolution.

And what is the evolutionary path?
The Tao is something that exists naturally in heaven and earth, while the road is something that is created by man!

To melt the original order of heaven and earth and open up a way to ascend to heaven is the creation of a cultivation system!
In short, this is the process of internalizing, self-izing, and personalizing the external Tao with one's own cognition... It is the process of opening up the path of evolution and the process of human growth!

When a person is born, the state of "Wuji" is broken. What is it then?
It’s a “dot”!
At this "point", it continues to grow and develop, and gradually becomes a "line"!
When such a "line" touches the limits of various tangible avenues, laws, orders, etc. in the world, it becomes complete and closed, and becomes a "string".

It spans the world, divides yin and yang, distorts time and space, evolves into two poles, is endless, and is free and perfect... Therefore, if you keep thinking about it, there will be a response!
This is Tai Chi!
"A single page of the true scripture is worth a thousand volumes of falsehood..." The Divine Emperor sighed, feeling inexplicably refreshed. "So that's how it is."

Why does the achievement of an Immortal Emperor usually require the opening of an evolutionary path?

The Immortal Emperor is hard to destroy, and if one keeps thinking about him, there will definitely be a response. Why can the most powerful Immortal Emperor be revived in the thoughts of even the most ordinary creatures?
Everything has a root.

Heaven and earth, Taoism, human nature, Wuji, Taiji... can all be condensed into this.

“The whole world can be seen as a big Tai Chi… a string runs through the whole picture, and it has reached its peak.”

The elegant man whispered, "If you want to break out, you have to surpass this 'Tai Chi'."

"Once you cross it, you will be free."

"But, it was not until later that I realized that I had only taken half a step toward transcendence."

His words were so shocking that even the God Emperor was horrified!

"Yes, you have only taken half a step, and you are still missing the other half step." The Demon Ancestor nodded, "It is easy to defeat the thief in the mountains, but it is difficult to defeat the thief in the heart."

"You can be outside the Tao, break through and transcend all the shackles and constraints that the world has given you, and cut off all ties with your 'original family'."

"But your heart is in the Tao. In this whole world, the 'scars' left in your heart by this 'original family' are still there!"

“The most clever shackles in the world are not those put around people’s necks, but those branded into their hearts.”

"Because the latter are often forged by one's own hands!"

"Because of your experiences, you have become who you are..."

Jiang Yifei said calmly, "This is the ladder of your growth, but isn't it also a stumbling block to your ultimate transcendence?"

"Your Tao has reached unimaginable heights. Even the Solitary Tao cannot restrain you!"

"But your heart and your experiences still retain the three perspectives you had before transcendence. You are unwilling to let go and are unwilling to let go!"

"The only way cannot bind you, but your heart can!"

"You have a past that you cannot forget, a past that you do not want to let go of, and a feeling that you are unwilling to give up... Your way is omnipotent, but your heart is biased!"

"You want to still keep your likes and dislikes, preferences... You also want to still be 'yourself'!"

“You can be omniscient, but you don’t want to be omniscient because of your instinct.”

"You can become the most evil and despicable being in the world. With a single thought, you can breed endless malice and know how to make the world a place of ruin and bloodshed..."

"But you instinctively avoid these directions. Based on your own cognition, you will not and are unwilling to speculate and observe the world with the most malicious thoughts."

Jiang Yifei sighed.

An omniscient and omnipotent God is invincible.

But an omniscient and omnipotent person can fail.

Because people have human nature, which is shaped by their experiences along the way, their values, outlook on life and way of thinking have become a fixed pattern.

Just like if you are a good person, how can you know how bad a bad person can be, or how bad you imagine others to be?

The path depends on it!

With such dependence, many issues are avoided.

But it’s just avoiding, it won’t disappear!
“Transcendence is not only about external transcendence, but also about hidden inner transcendence. Breaking free from the shackles of human nature shaped by past experiences is a boost to growth, but also an obstacle to transcendence…”

“However, doing so will easily be confused with the nature of Tao… It will make people feel that it will become a cold, ruthless, and selfless existence, without the feelings of living beings, selfless and altruistic, becoming the most original rule between heaven and earth, the embodiment of the indifferent avenue, and will lose all the joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness of the self,” Jiang Yifei whispered.

"Yes!" The elegant man nodded. "At that time, this was not what I wanted... I would rather be an ordinary person with flesh and blood than be an existence like the origin of the great way without any emotions."

"Otherwise, even if that domain is omnipotent and overlooks everything, it will be more like a machine, which is inconsistent with my original vision."

he sighed.

"..." The Divine Emperor was speechless. ——You two, you picked it up!
If it were an ordinary person, they would not be able to get such an opportunity and would still be struggling on the path of cultivation!

"Later, I also realized this problem..." The elegant man's tone became low, "As time went by, I gradually discovered that my mind and the great power I possessed were not in harmony and difficult to match."

"I feel like my heart is still the same as it was before... but sometimes, the feedback from my body is very indifferent and detached."

"My heart is still passionate...but my blood is cold and hard to warm."

"So, I carefully deduced and tried to find the root cause..."

"I found it!"

The elegant man's eyes lit up, "I've figured out the root of the problem!"

After all, he is the first transcendent creature in the world!

His wisdom and talent are absolutely unprecedented!
Although later on, what he did was very abstract and shocking, shocking the entire world more than once.

But at that time, his response was really quick.

"I already know that there is a problem with human nature... But it is impossible for me to take the step of breaking free from the three views and return to Wuji!"

An indescribable light flashed in the elegant man's eyes, which made the God Emperor inexplicably think of one of his close friends - the Green Emperor.

Although, there is a huge gap between the strength of these two people, and there is an insurmountable chasm... but at this moment, when the elegant man looks back on the past, the expressions between their eyebrows are... incomparably similar!
Like!

so similar!
"So, you did something earth-shattering..." The Demon Ancestor said, "It's not you who's wrong, it's this world..."

"Since the world gives birth to life, everything starts from Wuji and ends with Taiji... As someone who has surpassed Taiji, you have taken action against Wuji..."

——It’s not me who’s wrong, it’s this world!

That year, the owner of the third generation bronze coffin was still young and energetic. His head could only move left and right but never up and down.

Bow down?

Impossible!

I can admit anything, but I will never admit the wrong one!

And his omnipotent power is the strongest support for his confidence.

"Yes, I have transformed the entire world, making 'Wuji' no longer the starting point. There is reincarnation and evolution, allowing all living beings to reincarnate with their own humanity!"

The elegant man said calmly, "Whether my Dao fruit is complete or not, whether my realm is transcendent or not, do I still need this world to recognize it?"

"Whether it is transcendent or not, it's up to me to decide!"

"——That's what I thought at the time."

He frankly admitted a dark history. After all, it was too conspicuous to cover up, and the path of reincarnation will last forever.

At that time, he was very confident and quite arrogant, thinking that his ideas would definitely work.

——If there is a problem with my transcendence... No, there can't be a problem with my transcendence!
——At most it is a tortuous progress and a painful improvement...

——Look at my powerful strength, I can fly bricks and change the world!

- By the way, we will seek benefits for all living beings in the world, make death no longer the end, and create a happy and beautiful perfect world...

The Divine Emperor gradually understood everything.

The Divine Emperor had no expression on his face.

He was trying very hard to control his expression so as not to burst out laughing.

What if the Master of the Bronze Coffin and Demon Ancestor Jiang asked him what he was laughing at... He couldn't say that it was because he thought of something funny!

For example, there was a Chaos Blue Lotus who, for a while, felt that it was not him who was wrong, but the entire world... It was not that he could not become an immortal, but that the world did not support him. Therefore, he wanted to create an immortal realm in the human world and bring welfare to all living beings...

The Divine Emperor was certain that if he dared to laugh out loud or explain it this way... he would be dead, and even the Demon Ancestor would not be able to save him!
By then, even if the Evil Ancestor wants to harm him, he won’t be able to do so!
"I used reincarnation to transform 'Wuji', sublimate human nature, and define the so-called transcendence..." The elegant man looked gloomy, "Unfortunately, in the end, human nature is both the cause of success and the cause of failure..."

"My original intention was to use reincarnation to accommodate human nature... just like the One and Only Way accommodates and operates this world."

He elaborated on his original ideas and thoughts in detail, which were feasible and not random or haphazard.

"Learn from this, imitate my transcendence on the only path, and then reproduce it again, so that human nature can also be like this, and make up for the shortcomings."

Equating "reincarnation" with "the only way".

Equating “the hearts of all living beings” with the world.

So, how did the owner of the bronze coffin, who had lived for three generations, transcend the only way? He did it again in the realm of humanity and surpassed his limits.

The Demon Ancestor savored it carefully, his eyes became subtle, "Daoyou's approach is indeed... unique."

"But... unexpected, but reasonable."

A successful method is replicated again to solve the hidden dangers. Is there a problem? No problem!

The Tao lasts forever and operates, and the humanity of all beings also lasts forever and operates in the same way, and is carried by reincarnation... This state of vitality and the flourishing of all things is right before our eyes!
"The era when I rose to power was the most difficult in the world. All the sources of transcendence withered away. The great Tai Chi of the entire world was affected by a series of terrifying creatures, cutting off the flow of destiny..."

The elegant man sighed, "They were 'swallowing the Dao', causing the only Dao to be damaged and no longer flawless... So I had the opportunity to transcend."

"In order to seek my human self, I still kept my original heart, but... I took a similar path as them."

"It's hard to tell what's right and wrong in this matter."

"The boy who slew the dragon in the past eventually turned into an evil dragon... Even though I claimed at that time that I was worthy of all living beings, I was created to reincarnate in response to the wishes of all living beings."

"But in reality, I have interfered with the evolution of the 'Wuji' of human nature through reincarnation, causing it to be damaged, just to replicate the previous operation in the field of human nature!"

"Looking back now, the reason why I was able to transcend at that time was, in a sense, that I was born to meet the calamity. It was the instinct of the world that pushed me forward to repair the damage to the One Path and crush all those who swallowed the Path."

“But when I become the calamity of humanity, with my strength, what existence can overthrow me?”

"There's no one left!"

"So, the situation became so bad that it was hard to reverse it, and it was ultimately irreversible..."
