I have a volume of human scriptures

All your paths are planned.

All your choices are actually destined.

From the moment you were born, your mission was determined.

There is even no difference between them and those ancient immortals who were born for destruction.

The only difference is that they were born to destroy the three realms, and you were born to destroy them.

——This is probably what Yu Xiu wanted to express, and it is not too complicated.

Yu Chen understood, but he didn't understand.

"In that case, why did you tell me?"

He raised his head and looked at the old figure, full of doubts: "Even though your face is exactly the same as my father's face in my memory, even though Ji Qing's figure has appeared again and again in my previous life.

But you old monsters have lived for so long, you are so powerful, and so smart. If you just want to dispel my doubts, you should have a thousand and ten thousand lies, right?
Even if I have to confess, shouldn't I wait until I have completely completed my mission?"

"Because..." After Yu Xiu finished saying those two words, he was silent for a long time. He slowly scratched his head and rubbed his chin. After a long while, he said: "-Probably because we regretted it."

"regret?"

“Yes, we regret it.” Yu Xiu nodded: “-- All along, we have always thought that our hatred for Taichu surpasses everything, or in other words, we have nothing left except our hatred for Him. The reality seems to be true. We have relied on this hatred to survive until now, between existence and non-existence, like lonely ghosts wandering in the void.

We thought it would always be like this until you were born - so that you could grow up, we played various roles around you, father, mother, wife, friend, neighbor...

It was not until we personally sent you to the Three Realms that we old guys realized that we had fallen into depravity, fallen in the world we created, fallen in a world that was originally false.

At the beginning, you were just a tool and a weapon in our hearts, but after spending a not-so-long time together, we suddenly realized that you are also a living person, and a person created by us, just like a child.

From that time on, our hatred for Taichu seemed not to be so strong - at least we were no longer willing to take revenge on Him at the cost of sacrificing you."

"According to your plan, if I destroy Taichu, I will also die?" Yu Chen asked.

“No, there is no such plan.” Yu Xiu shook his head: “But you have to know that your existence only has a slight possibility of subverting Taichu. This possibility is very small, and the greater possibility is that in the fight and struggle, you and the three realms will be destroyed by Him.

At the beginning, we felt that even if there was only a tiny possibility, we had to try and destroy Him.

But now, we want to put the right of choice back in your hands - it's up to you to choose whether to continue on the path we have arranged."

Yu Chen frowned: "Do I have a choice? Taichu's revival is an established fact. Once He wakes up, everything will be destroyed. If I don't fight, I will die."

"Perhaps it is true for other people, because they are all creatures born in this Taichu world." Yu Xiu said, "But you are different, you are not, so as long as you are willing, we can create that earth between existence and non-existence again and send you back. Taichu will never find that world in this lifetime, nor can he interfere with it. You can reincarnate in that world for life after life, and we will accompany you forever."

"escape?"

"No, this is not escaping." Yu Xiu shook his head and said, "Rather than pursuing a future with a high risk of death and bearing the hatred of us old guys, we would rather let our child, that is, you... live a peaceful life.

Because fighting against Taichu was never your destiny from the beginning, we just forced it on you. Now, you have the choice to unload this burden."

After saying this, Yu Xiu took a deep breath and waited for Yu Chen's answer.

The latter remained silent.

——All the news he heard today was too shocking for him.

Whether it was that false previous life, his origin, or his background, all made him feel dizzy.

Especially when he heard that he was created as a weapon, it was absolutely impossible to say that Yu Chen had no resentment in his heart.

But on the one hand, he didn't like the feeling of being controlled, on the other hand... it was indeed these remnants who created him, otherwise he wouldn't even feel the "resentment" at this moment.

"I have a question." Yu Chen spoke after a long time.

"You said."

"You said that my path has been arranged. To what extent has this arrangement been arranged?" Yu Chen raised his head and asked, "--Could it be that my thoughts, my ideas, and my thoughts are all under your control?"

“That’s impossible.” Yu Xiu shook his head: “The so-called arrangement is more like a guidance, guiding you, guiding the Dating family, guiding him to create the Sutra of Saving People…”

"So until now, my thoughts, my ideas, my actions... all still come from me?" Yu Chen pondered.

“That’s right.” Yu Xiu nodded. “But… the general direction will not change, because your existence itself is a mistake for the Taichu world, and it is a paradox that Taichu must correct, so sooner or later you will fight with Him for life and death - this is the destined fate and path.”

“Then there’s no problem.” Yu Chen let out a long breath and grinned: “—Then I have to make a choice. I want to... kill Him.”

Yu Xiu was stunned and lowered his eyes: "Really... Is that so... Even if we use you as a tool... you still have to do it..."

"Old man, don't be so self-righteous." Yu Chen interrupted him, "To be honest, I don't like the feeling of being controlled, but it is undeniable that without you, I would not exist.

The reason I decided to fight Taichu today instead of hiding like a turtle is not because of you.

Just like I want to drink porridge instead of eating glutinous rice balls tomorrow morning, that is my idea, my decision, and what I want to do. It has nothing to do with you. "

Yu Xiu’s whole body stiffened.

“Although you were the ones who brought me to this world, but… I have also met a lot of people over the years. The stone outside the house has always been stupid, but he listens to me very much. I am afraid that if I ask him to die, he will only ask whether to hang himself or commit suicide.

There is also Li Yuanqing, that guy has a strong sense of justice. When I first met him, he was already in danger, but he still tried to save others. Oh, and Yu Youyu, that witch is always talking nonsense, but I know that she has me in her heart, just like I have her in my heart. We have come all the way, and we are not alone on this path of cultivation.

There are also Ji Tianming, Zhen Yuanzi, Moke, Taotie, Zhang Bairen... Each of these guys has his own problems, and sometimes they are so infuriating, but they... are all pretty good.

Finally, there is the entire underworld and countless ghosts and gods. They regard me as king, emperor, and obey my orders - have you ever seen an emperor who surrenders without fighting?

So, if you suddenly appeared and told me all this when I was still in Qingfeng Mausoleum, and I was alone at the time, I might be willing to be a coward - after all, life is the most important thing. But at this time, it's too late. I have been carrying too many things and can't let go.

I don't want them to be reduced to ashes under the destruction of Taichu, so it's not for you, but for myself. It's not because of your hatred and anger, but because of my love and protection. I want to... kill Taichu!"

silence.

After a long silence, Yu Xiu raised his head, and his virtual eyes seemed to be a little moist.

At that moment, he seemed to no longer be the lonely ghost who had lived for countless tens of thousands of years, nor was he the strongest man of a certain era. Instead, he became the father in that false revolving lantern who watched his child grow up with his own eyes.

"You have grown up..."

“Don’t be so sentimental.” Yu Chen waved his hands repeatedly, but after a moment of silence, he continued: “——But I have to say that I want to thank you, not because you created me, but because in my previous life… Although there were many twists and turns, I lived a happy life, thank you for your… companionship.

And Ji Qing, if it weren't for him, I would have died a long time ago."

Yu Xiu smiled: "Except for the old friend who has passed away, I will convey your words to those old immortals without missing a word. After the two little guys in Dayuan are dealt with, they should also be back."

"Come back?" Yu Chen was stunned: "What are you still busy doing?"

"Stop it." Yu Xiu nodded: "Perhaps you don't know yet, the Ancient Immortal King has recently awakened."

Yu Chen's heart suddenly jumped!
——The Three Realms are at their most vulnerable right now. Zhen Yuanzi is in seclusion, Zhang Bairen is in seclusion, and Yu Chen is about to go and kill the two remnants of the Dayuan Daozun.

In addition, because of the bad things that Qimen Daozun did, the entire human world was in ruins, and the Tianyuan front also collapsed...

If the ancient immortals were to come in at this moment, it would be like entering an empty land for them.

"Don't worry, they don't care about the human world."

Yu Xiu seemed to see his worry and shook his head, "--Or rather, the human world is not important to Taichu. The last time they fought an extraterritorial war and launched a full-scale invasion, their target was actually you.

At this moment, because he had consumed too much energy last time, Taichu fell into a deep sleep. If he wanted to wake up as soon as possible, there was only one way - to get back all the parts of his body, as well as his various authorities.

The Ancient Immortal King is very busy with this matter, so we naturally have to intervene - although Taichu's revival cannot be stopped, we cannot prevent them from doing it so smoothly and so quickly. "

Hearing this, Yu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Also, we’re looking for something.”

Yu Xiu took a deep breath and said, "We have to admit that although the Dayuan lineage made a huge mistake and allowed Taichu to have a will, they also accidentally gave birth to an anti-world force to will Taichu, where a will should not exist. It was with this newly born power and the 'swaddling clothes' that created Taichu's will that they severely injured Taichu. Although they could not escape destruction in the end, they at least bought a considerable amount of time.

And some things of the Great Source civilization, scattered in the cracks of the world, are also very important to us."

Yu Chen nodded slightly, and after a moment, he said, "I have another question."

Yu Xiu looked like he was waiting for what was to come.

"What's the meaning of Taichu's existence? Or what's the meaning of the so-called reincarnation?" Yu Chen asked. He has been thinking about this question all along.

"I don't know." Yu Xiu shook his head: "In the beginning, we thought that the reincarnation of the world was a natural phenomenon like the rain, just like the fallen flowers withering and turning into fertilizer into the soil again, a civilization is destroyed, and the "nutrients" after the destruction provide fertilizer for the birth of a new world.

But later, we discovered that something was wrong - after the destruction of those destroyed civilizations, the power, information, nutrients... everything they possessed disappeared out of thin air and was not used in the birth of a new world.

And you should also know that the total volume of a world is constant. After repeated reincarnations, this primordial world... will sooner or later become barren and collapse.

So... where did those missing nutrients go? This is probably the truth of everything."

Yu Chen frowned slightly.

But at the same time… I was relieved.

He had always speculated that the "Great Reincarnation" was the cycle of heaven and earth and the truth of fate, so being hostile to Taichu was going against heaven.

But now it seems... that’s not the case?

"It's getting late, you should continue to meditate." Yu Xiu took a deep breath and said, "I will go with you. If you have any questions, you can ask me again when you remember. But there is one thing I want to tell you in advance. I am just a lonely ghost now, and I have never slackened my immature anti-world power. They used that power to stop the Ancient Immortal King, so I may not be able to help you when facing the enemy head-on."

Yu Chen was stunned.

Well, I was happy for nothing.

"Then may I ask, what is the purpose of your traveling with me? Keeping me company? Cheer me up? Collecting my body?" Yu Chen asked, not afraid of offending others. This was how he and his father communicated in his previous life. You insulted me and I retorted you, but the strange thing was that their relationship was still good until their death.

"You little bastard, you are still young and don't understand at all. There is a very powerful force in this world called..."

Yu Xiu raised his eyes and glared at him, as if he had returned to the way they got along in the previous life.

"--Knowledge."
