I am immortal with scientific thinking

Chapter 826 The Essence of Tianhe
Time, go back a moment.

Wolong Customs.

This majestic pass that has guarded the East China Sea's immortal cultivation world for hundreds of thousands of years is now the final battlefield before its end.

Outside, there was endless light and heat, as if the Buddha had descended upon the earth, and the world was plunged into a sea of ​​fire and light. However, at the core, there was unprecedented darkness, and all the light seemed to be swallowed up here. Any object that was not hard enough would be torn into powder that could not be seen by the naked eye.

And in this darkness, two figures stood there, one was Lin Chen, and the other was... Reverend Tianhe.

"Still... defeated."

Reverend Tianhe did not look at Lin Chen, but looked in the direction outside Wolong Customs. Through the endless sea of ​​fire, he seemed to see the Dragon Palace army approaching, and his expression revealed a touch of loneliness and desolation.

"When you die, you will no longer have any attachment to anything in this world." Lin Chen said, "Your Excellency, please go with peace of mind. When I gain the orthodoxy of heaven and earth in the future, I will definitely put things right and restore order."

"If anything starts with me, I will end it with me!"

"When you were dormant in the East China Sea, you were very cautious and careful, but you also made plans everywhere. You started with small things that we had not considered. You started from a small thing and finally set off the great disaster in the East China Sea today." Tianhe Venerable said quietly, "The caution, strength, and wisdom revealed in this, even in a weak situation, you can still make a big profit with a small investment. I am afraid that you will never show it to the world before you are absolutely sure."

“Once it comes out, it will be earth-shattering, forming a mighty and magnificent trend that will shock the world!”

"Such courage and spirit are enough to be recorded in history and sung by people a million years later. At this moment, facing a dead person like me, what you said must not be false."

"In that case, I have something to entrust to you!"

As he spoke, Venerable Tianhe spread out his palms, and a strange light appeared in his hands.

It seems real but not real, fake but not fake, as illusory as a dream, but it has a real and true texture. It is shrouded in the cold light like clouds and mist, revealing a little silver moonlight, which is breathtakingly beautiful and captivating.

“This is…” Feeling the essence of it, Lin Chen’s expression instantly became solemn, “The origin of the Tianhe River?!”

“That’s right. The reason why I call myself Venerable Tianhe is because I am a reincarnated human being born from the Tianhe River. This is also the biggest secret of this old man!” Venerable Tianhe said in a low voice with an inexplicable look on his face, “This origin of the Tianhe River is what I brought with me when I was reincarnated. It is between reality and illusion, and it is the treasure that is closest to the level of harmony with the Tao in the world!”

“Originally, we were blessed by the Heavenly River and should have achieved the status of Heavenly Venerate, regained control of the Heavenly River, ended the bloody battle between humans and demons that had lasted for millions of years in the East China Sea, and restored the glory of the ancient cultivators who conquered the heavens… But unfortunately, I was reincarnated a step too late, allowing Canghai to ascend to the position of Heavenly Venerate and supervise the Heavenly River. This also caused me to be unable to take this step until I died today!”

While speaking, Venerable Tianhe looked at the Tianhe Origin in his hand with a gloomy expression:
"Once I die, this item will instantly return to the Heavenly River, so we have specially preserved it in order to hand it over to you, fellow Taoist!"

"To give such a precious treasure of heaven and earth to an enemy who wants to kill you... Are you kidding me, fellow Daoist?" Lin Chen frowned slightly and did not immediately step forward to take the Origin of the Sky River.

“What can I do? Let it return to the Heavenly River immediately, and then be sensed and intercepted by Canghai, so that he can completely control part of the Heavenly River’s power and break through to the pseudo-harmony realm. Then, he can sacrifice the lives of billions of people in the entire East China Sea, and even destroy high-level spiritual veins, causing the world to sink into the Dharma Ending Age… In the end, it is only for the sake of achieving his own path?!!!”

The expression of Venerable Tianhe suddenly turned cold at this moment, with a hint of uncontrollable anger.

Although Lin Chen killed him, he was still an enemy after all. He was not as skilled as him, so there was nothing to say if he died.

But Canghai is different. He is the leader of the East China Sea Immortal Alliance, inheriting the destiny of heaven and earth and shouldering the expectations of hundreds of millions of lives. Yet, he chooses to betray his own race and his own world, not hesitating to destroy heaven and earth and sacrifice the blood of all living beings, just to achieve his great way.

No matter what the other party's original intention was, Canghai definitely has an unshirkable responsibility for the current situation, and may even be the culprit.

And traitors are far more hateful than enemies!
So how could the Heavenly River Venerable give him the Heavenly River Origin? !
"As for handing it over to other Heavenly Venerables, that is also unrealistic. The origin of the leader of the Immortal Alliance, Taoist Taixuan, is too mysterious and not trustworthy at all. Fairy Yueling is stationed on the moon and cannot set foot on the mortal world forever. Even if she is given it, it will not work. Taoist Master Hunyuan is weak. If he gets this treasure of heaven and earth, it will definitely attract the attention of the Heavenly Demon Hanba and others, and then it will be a way to death..." Venerable Tianhuo sighed softly, as if there were no extra choices, "So the best way is to hand it over to you."

"You have that unique immortal ship. If you prove your status as a Heavenly Venerable, you will definitely reach the level of the Creator. When the time comes, whether you want to restore the original source and regain the throne of heaven and earth, or inherit the will of the ancient cultivators and ascend to the immortal world, it is most appropriate to hand over the origin of the Heavenly River to you!"

Even so, there is absolutely no reason to hand over such a treasure to an enemy who wants to kill you.

Wait, the ancient cultivator’s will…

Lin Chen's expression changed, and he finally nodded, reaching out to take the Origin of the Milky Way.

Beside him, the figure of the Infinite Sea Emperor appeared, touching time and space with the way of water, trying to contain the only essential power.

When Venerable Tianhe saw this scene, a smile appeared on his old face, but his figure gradually became illusory at this moment. Countless points of light flew out from his body, as if he would turn into nothingness at any moment.

But he didn't seem to care at all, and said:
"Fellow Daoist, aren't you curious about what the function of the Heavenly River is?"

"It is difficult to cross the void in the countless worlds, but the Heavenly River allows cultivators to travel across the heavens, so its essence and function is a... road." Lin Chen answered without hesitation at this moment, as if he had guessed it long ago, "A road that can connect the heavens and myriad worlds."

Simply put, it is an interstellar highway.

Tianhe Zun Zun didn't seem surprised by this answer. He nodded, and a smile appeared on his gradually transparent face:
"Your guess is indeed correct. The essence of the Heavenly River is a road, a road leading to the heavens and myriad worlds. But this is only for ordinary cultivators like us. For ancient cultivators, what use can this Heavenly River have?"

"What do you mean?"

When Lin Chen heard this, his brows furrowed deeply.

"The purpose of the Great Array of Covering Heaven and Earth is to allow civilization to ascend to a higher dimension, the Dead River is to explore multiple time and space, and the Moon is to open the path to the unity of the Dao. Then what about the Heavenly River? For the ancient cultivators, is it just a simple path that they passed it down along with the first three and eventually handed it over to future generations?"

Hearing these words, Lin Chen's expression became slightly solemn. This was the look on his face when he was in deep thought.

Tianhe Reverend did not wait for Lin Chen to answer, but asked a seemingly irrelevant question:
"Daoyou, do you think a road has an end?"

Ok?
Lin Chen pondered for a moment, and suddenly found that he was unable to answer this question.

Is there an end to the road?
If we do not artificially define the end point, from the main road to the small path, from the small path to the footprint, does the road really have an end, either in reality or in meaning?

"Then, fellow Daoist, do you think that the Tianhe River in the Chaos Star Sea has an end?"

"This……"

For some reason, this question touched Lin Chen's heart. He felt that this question was very important, but he didn't know why it was important. "What do you mean by this?!"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be blown away by the wind at any time, Lin Chen questioned without hesitation.

Reverend Tianhe did not answer, but smiled. His figure completely disappeared at this moment, leaving only one sentence echoing in the air:
"I was born in Tianhe and am also a part of Tianhe. I have completed the mission that the ancient monks left to me millions of years ago."

"So everything that happens in the mortal world from now on is up to you... Mr. Time Traveler."

……

This was the last memory of Wuliang Sea Emperor before he came to Penglai Island.

After that, the main body went to the Yinji Sea. In order to prevent unexpected changes from occurring on Penglai Island, he was specially asked to come and assist the old monster Mengdie in handling matters there.

Just in case, the main body also gave the essence of Tianhe to him who was the most suitable one.

As for the loss, Lin Chen didn't take it to heart at all.

If his grand plan succeeds, he will naturally be invincible in the world. Even if the essence of the Tianhe River is obtained by Canghai Tianzun, he can easily capture and kill him and take it back.

But if the plan fails, keeping it on oneself would be a crime, so it is better to give it to the Infinite Sea Emperor to ensure the smooth implementation of everything.

And the course of events was just as Lin Chen had expected. The Wolong Customs was breached early, leading to a drastic change in the situation on Penglai Island. The formation of the end of the world was delayed due to the interference of the Forgotten Demon Lord, and the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons formation instead became the trump card against the Dragon Emperor. The battle between good and evil turned out to be one-sided, forcing the Infinite Sea Emperor to take action to fight against the demon master of the virtual world and the real world.

If Lin Chen had not obtained the essence of Tianhe, his clone would probably have fallen into the hands of these two demon gods!

After all, the other party is the top tier under the Heavenly Venerate, and is also a top-notch existence in the world. His original body would find it very difficult to deal with him, let alone a mere clone of him.

However, with the essence of Tianhe, even if it is just a tiny bit of it, he can borrow the power of this ancient treasure to stop the Forgotten Demon Lord and the Psychic Bride, or even... destroy them!
At this moment, Infinite Sea Emperor felt that his mind had suddenly become extremely sharp, his perception range was extremely broad, and even his soul had expanded beyond his body, and established a connection with the great existence in the extremely distant and unknown world.

In an instant, everything in front of him was turned upside down, and the Infinite Sea Emperor seemed to have come to another space. Looking up, the brilliance of the world and the darkness of chaos were clearly distinguished. In the dark void that touched the outside of heaven and earth, stood a majestic river of light.

It is vast and boundless, covering the sky with incomprehensible light and shadow gestures, constantly dispersing pale light mist outwards.

In the river of light, there are various treasures of heaven and earth floating in it, such as the innate Renshui, the three-light divine water, and the one-yuan heavy water.

But what is even more shocking is that this vast river of light not only exists within the world, but also continues to extend beyond the world.

It branches out in all directions with countless silver light river knots, connecting the light spots in the outer world that are within the sight of people in this world and the world.

Finally, it is like a giant silver net, with the world as its core, connecting countless nearby worlds.

This object is the treasure of the Tianhe Sect of the Nine Immortals, a thing left by the ancient monks - [Tianhe]!
At this moment, this great treasure that was boundless and limitless resonated with the soul of the Infinite Sea Emperor. He seemed to have become a part of the Milky Way and saw scenes he had never seen before.

He saw the birth and destruction of billions of worlds in the chaotic sea of ​​stars, he saw the emergence and demise of endless civilizations, he saw the epics and legends left by great beings in history, he saw the eternal light of infinite light and infinite life in the palace of stars above the sea of ​​stars...

Of course, all of this is not the most important thing.

What really shocked him was that in this chaotic sea of ​​stars, in that endless dark void, the Sky River was spreading at an unprecedented speed, running through one world after another, connecting pieces of void, leaving behind rivers of light...

That is to say, in this history of millions of years, the ancient monks disappeared, the ancient times ended, the Immortal Alliance was established, and the catastrophe was about to come... No matter what happened in the mortal world, no matter how the world changed, even if the civilization created by the ancient monks and even the world completely disappeared, this river in the sea of ​​chaos is still spreading...

In a never ending spread!!!

"This is……"

Wuliang Haihuang was extremely shocked in his heart. He vaguely felt that this scene might be something crucial, so he quickly recorded it and would pass it on to his original body in the future.

Then, he immediately communicated with the power of the Milky Way.

The next moment, in the thoughts of the Forgotten Demon Lord and the Medium Bride, the other party's true spirit dream was about to collapse. At some point, drops of black water emerged from nowhere and flowed slowly, forming a stream. Wherever it passed, feathers could not float and birds were sad to fly. It seemed that everything in the world would sink if it encountered the water...

"This is... Tianhe Weak Water???!!!"

The Forgotten Demon Lord and the Psychic Bride His mind fluctuated violently at this moment, as if he had encountered something incredible.

As some of the most powerful people in the world, how could they not know about this?

This is the most evil thing in ancient times according to legend - Tianhe Ruoshui!
Any of the Three Lights Divine Waters can cause the death of cultivators below the level of God Transformation. The One Yuan Heavy Water can even distort time and space in the hands of a powerful being. The Water of Naihe can erase the memories of billions of lives and make them forget their present lives. The Xiangliu Poison Water is also extremely poisonous to a God Transformation cultivator, and anyone who touches it will die...not to mention the legendary Tianhe Weak Water!

Even in the most prosperous ancient times, the era of ancient stars shining brightly, this was the most evil thing in the world.

Even though those who appeared in this dream were not real entities, but just the real reflections of the Weak Water of the Tianhe River, they were not the real ancient mighty ones. Even if they were just projections, it was enough to kill them here!

"Retreat quickly!!!"

At this moment, the figure of the Forgotten Demon Lord completely disappeared among the distracting thoughts of billions of living beings.

This weak water of the Tianhe River, even if it is just a projection, is enough to make him extremely fearful.

Not to mention that once this water comes out, the wandering cultivator will definitely die. There is absolutely no need for the two of them to risk their own lives in order to ensure complete annihilation!

But at the moment when He and the medium bride completely disappeared, the last scene seen was the Infinite Sea Emperor raising the Weak Water of the Sky River in his palm and making a sound that filled the void:
"Two Demon Lords, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Today, I will put an end to your legend!"
