Fairy, please let me explain.

Chapter 807: Looking at the Sky

Xu Yuan had rehearsed countless ways and scenes of dealing with God's will in his mind.

The creations created by human wisdom will have a grand nuclear explosion with the overlords of this old era.

Or, in front of an army of millions, he could utter the words "set up the formation to attack the sky" under the watchful eyes of the world.

Or,
In the ruins of war, he fought alone against the will of heaven with cultivation above that of a saint, and decided with his predecessor who would be the helmsman of the future.

But unfortunately,
None of these futures ever happened.

Xu Yuan had never expected this outcome.

But who would have thought?
Everything ended with the eternal night catastrophe carrying the will of heaven.

Xu Yuan felt that he was a little impulsive.

Next he will face the will of heaven.

Xu Yuan's experience of being possessed by Mu Nuo during the Western Desert Incident made him realize clearly that the process of possession depends to a large extent on the cultivation of both parties.

It is indeed not completely impossible for the weak to defeat the strong.

At the beginning, he had a certain advantage in dealing with Mu Nuo by relying on the Yantian Divine Soul, but now he was going to face the founder of the Yantian Divine Soul.
No matter how you think about it, he will be at a disadvantage.

Not to mention the huge gap in cultivation between the two sides at this moment.

But replacing Tian Ye and carrying Tian Yi is indeed the best solution at that moment. Once Tian Yi completely replaces Tian Ye, unless he believes in the power of belief and believes that the royal party will lend a helping hand, the story will always end in failure.

All movement seems to be moving away.

Taoism, time, consciousness, and even emotions seemed to have come to a standstill. When Xu Yuan regained consciousness, he saw a plain white space, a suitable venue for the final ending.

Xu Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at his body, feeling the existence of the Dao of life and death. The complex emotions flashed in his eyes and finally turned into a bitter smile with a sigh.

Drag it.

As long as the essence of life and death remains, the other party cannot kill him.

He would use his body as a tomb and take that old antique with him to this space until the end of time.

But contrary to expectations, Xu Yuan waited for a long time, but Tianyi never appeared in front of him. The white space was so quiet that it seemed to have lost the concept of time and space.

According to common sense in cultivation, the process of taking over a body is a life-or-death struggle between the two parties, which will last until one party completely disappears from the world, and until one party completely controls the body. However, the peace in front of him made Xu Yuan feel a little doubtful.

Could this predecessor who transformed himself into a Taoist priest subvert common sense, bypass the process of possession, and directly imprison other people's minds, thereby gaining control of the body?
Xu Yuan began to wander in the white space, trying to find some clues, and the answer he was looking for came faster than expected.

This predecessor cannot overturn common sense.

Xu Yuan saw a black dot that looked like a human figure at the end of the white space. His body's instinct told him that it was the "will of heaven" that materialized in the spiritual space, trying to annihilate the invader of his mind.

The battle is about to begin
Xu Yuan walked towards the place where "Heaven's Will" was.
There were no sounds from the real world in this space. Everything was terrifyingly quiet. There was also no real distance in this space. Almost in an instant, Xu Yuan arrived in front of the figure.

then,

Xu Yuan was shocked by His appearance.

That body was rotten, decayed, mutilated, and almost unrecognizable as a human.

His eyes were gouged out, his right arm was severed at the root, the flesh on his legs had almost completely disappeared, and countless holes ran across his chest and abdomen.

The aura of countless powerful people in the world,

Overflowing on these shocking wounds.

Among them were Wen Xinyun, Tianmen Sword Immortal, Li Yaoxuan, and his father Xu Yinhe, but there were many more auras that Xu Yuan had never felt before.

In silence,

The rotten corpse looked with its empty eyes at the newcomer who was approaching it and exuding infinite vitality.

Silent stare,

He raised his remaining left arm at an extremely slow speed and pointed it at the person in front of him. Specks of golden light trembled slightly and gradually condensed at his shriveled fingertips.

very slow.

After slowing down to a certain limit, it bursts out in silence.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Yuan did not hide, because there was no need. The golden beam of light that had killed countless geniuses throughout the ages now burst out so weak that it was lamentable.

It hit the body of the latecomer, but only left a wound on the opponent's vibrant body that healed in an instant.
The expected hard battle did not happen, and the expected despair of being imprisoned did not happen either. The grinding of time, the endless pain of the erosion of the Tao, and the countless pioneers who tried to break the old order had already turned this original idealist into a dead tombstone.

But even if I am dying,
Even though the situation is over,

He still drags this rotten and decayed body to guard his original vision.

The weak golden light condensed at His fingertips once again.
But this time,
Xu Yuan did not give him this chance again.

The figure that had stood for countless years finally fell down. Death turned into a sharp blade and pierced through the head of the old order cleanly, nailing it to this white space.

Xu Yuan looked at Him.

He also looked at Xu Yuan.

then,

The faint sound of mosquitoes and flies came into my mind from the rotting corpse of the old order. "That night, I heard your vision."

Xu Yuan shook his head:

"It's too late to say that now."

"It's not too late. Devour me and inherit me."

"."

Xu Yuan stared at the old order and asked:

"What do you call it?"

“I forgot.”

"That's it."

Xu Yuan leaned over and sat beside His body, and asked:

"After so many years, even though your name has been forgotten, why do you still persist until now?"

"May the order of the sky last forever."

"You established order, but what about the years before that?"

"turmoil."

"Yes, turmoil."

Xu Yuan seemed to be able to think of the years that the other person had gone through, and whispered:
"That would have been a very dark time, but would it be wrong to let the world stagnate because of fear of unrest?"

His pair of hollow eyes were like an abyss that swallowed everyone it could:
"As a latecomer, what I want is to move forward steadily."

"The world has never stagnated. New things such as skills, battle formations, and military formations have all developed steadily under my order. The future you want is too advanced for this era. Even if you want to insist, you should first inherit my order and wait for the opportunity, until all the creations of heaven are enough to balance the saints, and until the world adapts to the changes brought about by your fathers.

“At that time,
"Someone will overthrow you with the future you want."

Xu Yuan was quiet for a while, half-closed his eyes and stared at the white screen of the space, and asked:
"What if the times go backwards?"

"."

There was a moment of silence, and He could not understand:
"I don't understand why the times are going backwards."

Xu Yuan sighed and said slowly:

"Now the spark of change has just been ignited. In this world of personal power, the superiors can extinguish it at any time if they want. You don't believe in human nature, and neither do I. I don't believe that those superiors will hand over the "heavy weapons" that can threaten them to the people of Dawn.

"If I inherit you, after this war is over, the skills spread across the world will most likely be gradually taken back, and the creation projects that can threaten saints will most likely be banned. Everything will return to the starting point, and then continue to repeat itself."

Xu Yuan glanced at his body covered with scars from the past years and whispered:
"Senior, the collapse of the old order is not a matter of a day or a night. It requires countless people to follow suit. Your passing has already meant that the world has reached a crossroads. Since I, Xu Changtian, have taken over the responsibility of carrying the torch forward, how can I become the one who continues the old order like you?"

For a moment, there was no sound.

He seemed to be dead, but the constantly dissipating waves proved that this predecessor was just thinking seriously.

I don’t know how much time passed,

He then said slowly:

"The equality you envision is unrealistic.

"Humans, demons, and all things, the differences between them are revealed from the moment they are born. Talent, temperament, gifts, and appearance are all things that cannot be determined by oneself. The future you want cannot be equal, and preaching will only exacerbate this division."

This made Xu Yuan ponder for a long time:

"so what?"

His body was almost completely dissipated:

"I don't understand what you mean."

"What the senior said is correct."

Xu Yuan rubbed his brows, sighed, stood up, and looked into the distance:

“This world has been unfair from the beginning, and I have never thought about equality. After all, it is ironic to talk about this as a privileged abuser.

"Wherever there are people, there will be struggles, games, oppression and exploitation. I cannot change these. I don't have any grand vision to enlighten the people and preach the gospel to the world. I just want to make the world move forward, give talented people a chance to move forward, and let those without talent live their lives as individuals."

"Do not."

He looked at his back and denied his words once again:

“It’s a grand vision.”

Xu Yuan looked back in surprise, then smiled with relief:
"Thanks,
"and also,
"Thank you for everything you have done for this world, but now it's time for you to rest."

"."

The golden setting sun gradually turned into starlight, and the white space began to collapse, gradually burying the corpse of the old order like a grave.

His consciousness began to dissipate.
Looking at the backs of the energetic latecomers walking towards the unknown future,
The last words were plain and sincere.
"The latecomers,
“Although I don’t agree, please keep going and don’t look back.”
