I have a volume of human scriptures

"What's that expression on your face?"

As if he had said everything, the voice of the transparent figure became frivolous again.
"Shouldn't I be happy for myself? At this moment, I finally see hope and defend it with my own hands. At this moment, I am about to put an end to this torture of neither life nor death. Moreover, at this moment, I personally cut off a piece of human skin from the beginning. These are all good things! There is reason to celebrate! Why do you have to put on such a sad look?"

Yu Chen was silent.

Maybe for the other party, there is no lie, it is true.

But for him, it was never like that.

Witnessing the destruction of one's own civilization with one's own eyes, with only a wisp of obsession left alive, witnessing more worlds repeating the same mistakes countless times, struggling in endless years without hope... Any one of these things is enough to completely destroy anyone's mind.

And all of this happened one after another on the transparent figure in front of him.

Even if he said it lightly, it could not change the cruel fact.

"Senior, what should I do?" Yu Chen didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only ask: "- How do I forge the sword that the senior mentioned about the world, and how do I wield the sword to kill Taichu?"

Since it is impossible to comfort you or empathize with you, then just shoulder the burden together.

For the life-saving grace of this transparent figure, and also for myself.

"How to do it?" The transparent figure shook his head gently: "Aren't you already doing it? And... you are doing it very well."

Yu Chen was stunned.

I quickly went over everything that had happened in my mind.

I recalled the beautiful and dangerous nine-colored divine light.

It’s like... I suddenly realized.

"——You mean, that... forbidden divine object?"

Forbidden divine object.

This sounds quite contrived, but that's mainly because Yu Chen doesn't know what it should be called.

It was something that the former Lord Laozi of the Divine Court had not yet completed refining.

Finally, after many twists and turns, the Sutra of Salvation fell into the hands of Yu Chen, who intended to complete the unfinished task.

The reason why Yu Chen was able to think of the thing he had almost forgotten was naturally because the anti-world power controlled by the transparent humanoid before, its nine-colored light and the light of the Sky-Repairing Divine Stone... were too similar.

"Smart." The transparent figure praised again: "--That thing is the real anti-world power. Although it is not clear what it will look like after it is completed, it is certain that it must be the only thing that can destroy Taichu. And you are the best person who can bring out its power!"

"Wait! This thing... wasn't it made by Taishang Laojun of Heaven? How did it become some anti-world force?" Yu Chen frowned.

"Taishang Laojun?" The transparent figure did not refute, but asked Yu Chen: "——How can you be sure that the Taishang Laojun you are talking about...is not a remnant like us?"

At that moment, Yu Chen felt cold all over.

Taishang Laojun... is the remnant of the world that was destroyed countless epochs ago!

"No! Impossible! I've seen his revolving door before..." Yu Chen almost blurted out a rebuttal, but he couldn't continue halfway through.

——In the Sutra of Saving People, he did see the revolving lantern of Taishang Laojun, but it seemed that because Taishang Laojun’s soul was broken, he only saw a part of it.

All he saw was the recipe for refining the supreme divine object and a brief and fragmented memory of the refining process.

For others, not specific.

"Or... I want to ask you one more question."

The transparent figure was silent for a while, then spoke again: "You should know about the first time Taichu took action, which was the Battle of Falling Sky, right?"

Yu Chen nodded subconsciously.

The Battle of Falling Heavens was a tragic battle in which the ancient immortals, after gaining a foothold in the Three Realms, suddenly revealed their true colors and attacked the Three Realms, eventually leading to the sealing of Heaven, the collapse of the Underworld, and the splitting of the human world into pieces!

In that battle, the Emperor of Fengdu died, the Emperor of Shenting Zhang Bairen was reincarnated, and the Lord of the Human World Zhen Yuanzi was also seriously injured.

All in all, the entire Three Realms were almost destroyed.

The human world has become a pasture for the ancient immortals, and is harvested and kept in captivity by them, just like leeks, being harvested one crop after another.

This is the so-called Battle of Falling Heaven, and it is also the most brutal and horrific battle in the Three Realms so far.

But what does this have to do with the Sky-Repairing Divine Stone?
What does it have to do with Taishang Laojun?
"Then you should also know about the second counterattack war among your three realms, right? What is it called? The war between heaven and man?" The transparent figure continued to ask without explaining.

Yu Chen still nodded.

It is said that the war between heaven and man was caused by the ancient immortals who were not satisfied with the incense from creatures whose desires had been wiped out and felt it was tasteless, so they lifted the ban on their desires.

Finally, under the leadership of the hidden Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestors of the Seven Saints and Eight Families, together with the remnants of the Heavenly Court including Taishang Laojun, and countless ancient races launched a counterattack.

Recaptured the Eastern Wasteland.

The killing forced the ancient immortals to flee outside the domain to recuperate, and also bought precious time for humanity.

"Don't you find it strange?"

The transparent figure asked Yu Chen,
“The essence of the ancient immortal lineage is not any naturally generated group. They feed on living beings not because they need to, but because they were born as the nemesis of living beings.

They are the sword of the beginning, the knife of the beginning, and the prelude to the end of the world brought by the beginning.

Would such a race with a clear purpose, for its own selfish desires, arbitrarily touch the blockade of countless creatures in the Three Realms without permission while the Primordial Realm was sleeping, and finally lead to the successful counterattack of the Three Realms and the retreat of the ancient immortals to the outer realm?"

The more Yu Chen listened, the more he felt something was not right.

At first, when he heard the truth about the war between heaven and man, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

——If we just regard the ancient immortals as a race with flesh and blood, there will certainly be nothing wrong. After all, any living being, any race, can make mistakes.

But later, he found out that the ancient immortals were simply the "war weapons" created by Taichu. Would such a thing, for that ridiculous reason, arbitrarily touch the blockade of the seven emotions and six desires of countless living beings?
He didn't know, but...something seemed to be wrong.

"There is more to it than that. There is a more important issue."

The transparent figure did not dwell on this question and continued to ask Yu Chen: "In the first battle of the Falling Heaven, the two sides involved were the Three Realms at their peak and the Ancient Immortal lineage at their peak. In the end, the Three Realms were defeated and collapsed.

And what about the so-called battle between heaven and man? How can a human emperor with only half of his body left, with a group of celestial beings in the human world and a few remnants of the heavenly court, defeat the ancient immortal lineage that has enslaved the human world in the Eastern Wilderness for countless years?
Do you think this is reasonable? "

hum-

It was like a thunderclap, resounding in my mind.

It echoes endlessly.

In the past, whether it was Zhang Bairen, Zhen Yuanzi, Taotie, or the Holy Mother of Yao Chi... In short, any creature who had experienced that era told Yu Chen the truth, that was during the war between heaven and man, all races fought hard and defeated the ancient immortals.

So Yu Chen never thought there was anything wrong.

Even Zhang Bairen, Zhen Yuanzi, and other celestial beings were working together to deceive him.

But Taotie wouldn’t do that, right?
This guy's life is in Yu Chen's hands, and he has risked his life for Yu Chen. Is there any need for him to lie to him?
not at all.

But now, when the transparent figure broke everything down and told his story, Yu Chen suddenly reacted!
Yup!

Not to mention why the ancient immortals would do such an outrageous thing as sealing the desire to contact living beings just because of the single smell of incense.

Take the battle between heaven and man for example. Why could the incomplete human Eastern Wilderness, with a bunch of Seven Saints and Eight Families who were not as good as a drop in the bucket in the battle among the Three Realms, be able to drive the ancient immortals out of the domain?
Is this reasonable?

This is not reasonable.

Yu Chen raised his head and looked at the transparent figure, his eyes burning: "You mean... everything is fake? Everyone is... lying?"

"lie?"

The transparent figure neither admitted nor denied, "Whether it is a lie or not depends on your definition of a lie.

If you consider deviations from the truth to be lies, then those are lies.

But if you think that it is not a lie to tell it as it is in your heart, even if it is not true, then it is not a lie.”

After a pause, the transparent figure continued: "The truth of everything is because... we.

We did not participate in the Battle of the Falling Sky because we knew that it was meaningless. Even if we stopped the ancient immortals, we still could not stop the arrival of the final moment - this is the lesson we learned from the experience of trying countless times and still being unable to stop anything.

But midway between the Battle of Falling Sky and the Battle of Heaven and Man, something happened—you came.

Or rather, the little fellow named Datingshi successfully welcomed you in the endless sea of ​​time and space.

Then everything will be different.”

Yu Chen noticed something keenly.

--meet.

Logically speaking, if it was the King of Fengdu who found him, the transparent figure in front of him would never use the word "welcome".

But he did not interrupt the other person and continued to listen.

"We have noticed your existence. You are not a creature born in the Primordial World. You are not constrained by the Primordial World at all, and you are not affected by the anti-world force. Therefore, your existence is truly... hope!"

The voice of the transparent figure became joyful.
“So, for your sake, this civilization cannot be destroyed.

Therefore, we walked out from the gap between existence and non-existence, and used some means to increase the appetite of the ancient immortals. Because of the taste, they were so greedy that they desperately unlocked the blockade of the soul desires of countless creatures.

Then, in that battle between heaven and man, all of us took part. Although we no longer had any realm or level of cultivation, we relied on our incomplete anti-world power to fight against more than 80% of the ancient immortals.

It was also because of this that the people of the Eastern Wilderness led by Zhen Yuanzi were able to win!

And it was in that battle that the Taishang Laojun you mentioned was seriously injured and half dead.

There happened to be a senior among us who was also proficient in the unconventional way of making elixirs, so he placed his hopes on the Taishang Laojun to save his soul which was on the verge of being shattered, and from then on they became two souls in one, and he also took this opportunity to pass on the "elixir recipe" to this world.

It's a pity... we didn't expect that even in his deep sleep, Taichu could sense the anti-world force. Except for Taishang Laojun who had the protection of that predecessor, any living being who approached Dan Fang would have his cognition changed by force, intending to bury Dan Fang forever.

Until...the fateful encounter.

You are destined to obtain the elixir formula. Once you get it in your hands, everything will be truly...on the right track!"

This is the truth of it all.

The story came from the transparent figure's mouth.

More reasonable, more realistic, and more...scarier.

“But… since you have done so many things…” Yu Chen frowned and said puzzledly: “But in the East Desert, in the Three Realms, in all the rumors… there is no trace of you.”

This is doubtful.

Even if the other person saved your life.

It is impossible for Yu Chen to believe everything others say.

I still say that, even if Zhen Yuanzi, Zhang Bairen and the celestial beings in Donghuang kept it a secret from Yu Chen.

Yu Chen also didn't think that Taotie would deceive him.

As long as the remnants of the Transparent Dolls have done so many things, they will definitely leave traces. Even if they are not in the official history, rumors are inevitable.

After all, there are Taotie and other ancient creatures that are not under the jurisdiction of the human world or the heavenly world. Even if Zhen Yuanzi wants to cover his mouth, he can't cover them.

The transparent figure was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Have you forgotten?"

Yu Chen was stunned.

"I have told you before, we are neither alive nor dead, but somewhere between existence and non-existence. This is a more thorough state than death. Because of this, we are not attacked by the power of the primordial."

The transparent figure said, "What I mean by existence between non-existence is that when we are close, we exist; but once we die, once we are far away, except for you who do not belong to this primordial world, all living beings will forget our existence.

Just like when I was parasitic on that holy bow, once he dies, who else but you will remember me?"

At that moment, it dawned on me.

There was like thunder in Yu Chen’s mind!
I remembered.

This transparent humanoid being and his so-called predecessors, no one will remember him except himself.

"But... in this case, your achievements..." Yu Chen said bitterly.

"Merit?" The transparent figure smiled and shook his head, saying, "We no longer care about life and death, so why would we care about those empty names?"

As he spoke, countless dense cracks had spread to his head.

It is time for end and destruction.

"Excuse me, senior, what is your name?" Yu Chen took a deep breath and asked.

"Oh? Your name... I haven't mentioned it for a long time..."

His speech became intermittent because half of his head had collapsed.

"Originally... that is meaningless... but if you ask... my name is... Ji Qing..."

Yu Chen nodded solemnly: "I still remember!"

“Hahahaha… although it’s not necessary…”

With a relieved laugh, Ji Qing's head collapsed and turned into ashes, leaving only the endless chaos and the last sound:
"But... it feels good..."
