Two Realms: A giant of immortal martial arts emerges from low Wu Gan

Jiang Shu immediately fell silent, then spoke again: "Could you tell me why he is like this? Your situation seems quite different from his."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shu raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Luotian beside him.

If the leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance in front of him was still conscious, Zhao Luotian would probably have gone mad and collapsed.

Clearly, the two are quite different.

"The reason is simple: if there is a veil in front of all living beings and the world, only the strong can barely see through the veil and discover a corner of the truth by relying on their own realm."

"Then the veil before his eyes was forcibly torn away by an external force, and he saw a truth he shouldn't have seen, suddenly falling into madness."

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance slowly rose, a sigh appearing in his eyes: "This may be a good thing, or it may not be."

"This time, many people may discover the truth, but if there is no further external interference, it will eventually return to the original state."

"Interference? External force? Seeing the truth?"

Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, vaguely sensing something, but also feeling that what he said might be a bit too absurd.

The next moment, the leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance spoke up, "Come with me, and I will show you what destiny is."

"it is good."

Jiang Shu immediately nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark river reappeared before the leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance.

Jiang Shu stood on that long river.

In an instant, the spatial fluctuations spread out, and they were directly swept in and carried away to a distance.

……

A remote village.

Jiang Shu and the leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance appeared here.

"The destiny you speak of lies here?"

Jiang Shu spoke with considerable surprise.

At this moment, all he could see was a village that was still relatively prosperous.

At this time, both men and women were mostly engaged in farming and weaving.

Some children were able to play around nearby at this time.

"Everyone is born with a predetermined destiny, and the weight of each person's destiny is different. You should know this, fellow Daoist."

"Of course I know." Jiang Shu nodded slightly.

"We are only here to witness the existence of destiny, not to fight against it. This is a remote corner, where destiny's gaze has never fallen upon us, so this is just the script we have here."

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance then slowly shook his head and pointed into the distance.

"Look, that child will break his leg later for some reason, do you believe it, fellow Daoist?"

"he?"

Jiang Shu looked up and saw a child who looked to be about six years old.

The child, with a runny nose, followed behind some older children.

"How can I believe you that you're planning to break his legs yourself?"

"Fellow Daoist is joking. I would never make things difficult for a child."

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance slowly shook his head: "However, this is the ending that fate has arranged for him. Why don't you try to see if you can help him change his fate? But don't use too many methods, lest you attract attention."

"it is good."

Jiang Shu nodded slightly.

Since this person in front of him wanted to do it this way, he didn't mind giving it a try.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shu stared at the child who looked to be six years old.

At this moment, the boy followed behind a group of older children, skipping and jumping.

"Wait...wait for me, brother, sister!"

He held a wooden stick in one hand and a stone hanging down in the other, running on his short legs.

Meanwhile, the older children in front of him were constantly laughing.

"I heard there are rabbits in that woods over there, let's go hunt some!"

"I want to eat rabbit meat!"

Gradually, the five- or six-year-old children were left behind.

Seeing the main group leave, the child's face flushed red with anxiety, tears welling in his eyes, and he was about to continue chasing after them.

Suddenly, the child slipped and fell into a deep ditch.

"Oh?"

Jiang Shu's spirits lifted slightly.

"It seems to be true. Without external intervention, the child's movements are quite dangerous. If he were to fall, he could break his leg."

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu flicked his finger, and a gust of wind was stirred up.

A gust of wind blew by, lifting the child slightly in the air before gently dropping him to the ground.

Even so, the child was covered in dust and mud.

"Isn't this how it's avoided?" Jiang Shu said.

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance showed a hint of pity on his face, "That's not the case."

"Ok?"

Jiang Shu's gaze suddenly turned to that spot, and then he saw that the child seemed to have fallen into a mud pit and was crying loudly.

"Wow!"

The child's cries were already quite shrill, and since this place was far from the farmland, the adults in the village didn't notice.

however……

"Moo..."

A very old water buffalo staggered past, seemingly so old that no one even harnessed it to a plow.

The water buffalo was walking slowly by when suddenly the child cried out, seemingly startling it.

By sheer coincidence, the water buffalo stepped into the same mud pit that the child had just used.

At that moment, the water buffalo also fell down, its head hitting the child's right foot squarely.

Click!

A crisp sound of bones breaking rang out.

The child's expression froze, then he burst into tears, his voice filled with extreme sorrow.

In the distance, Jiang Shu's expression froze, and his look became somewhat strange.

"I already intervened once to help the child avoid breaking his leg, but he ended up attracting a cow instead!"

"It was precisely because of his crying that the cow was frightened, and in the end, the cow broke his leg."

He looked at the child intently, his expression becoming quite strange, and he seemed to understand something about fate.

His methods could easily heal the child's leg, restoring it to its original state.

But since this is the fate of this great realm, if he forcibly changes it, then other tribulations will befall this child.

Moreover, he could sense that no one around him was tampering with anything; at least, the person next to him was definitely not someone who could hide anything from him.

"Should we continue? If you try to save a child like him who is not favored by fate, it won't attract any attention."

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance spoke again.

"No need..."

Jiang Shu slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and his eyes suddenly became much deeper.

"destiny……"

An utterly unremarkable child, it seems, shares this inescapable fate in this world. What about the other powerful figures? Turning to the leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance beside him, he then asked, "And you?"

"Hehehe..."

The leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance couldn't help but sigh, "Thanks to the favor of fate, I have reached the late stage of the Venerable realm and seen a corner of the truth."

"I can resist others to some extent, but such resistance is futile."

"It's not just me, the other Venerables are in the same boat."

He sighed, then turned to look at Jiang Shu and said, "Because I was originally involved, how can I get out?"

"Now do you understand why they would target you as a demon from beyond the heavens?"

"understood."

Jiang Shu nodded slightly, already understanding.

"Then I'll ask another question."

"Please feel free to speak."

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance spoke calmly and amiably.

"Why is it that the cultivation aptitude of you people is so high?"

"The reason is simple..."

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance raised his hand and pointed.

He was pointing in the direction of his own head.

"It is my brain, or rather, the spiritual root embedded in my brain."

"This……"

Jiang Shu's lips twitched slightly. Even though he had expected it, he couldn't help but look strange when he heard the real answer.

“Fellow Daoist, there’s no need to be surprised. As you know, we all have the corresponding things in our minds. I only discovered this after I came into contact with the first outsider. These things that are commonplace to us are so incredible to you.”

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance slowly shook his head, then said, "Among those thirteen outsiders, there is one who calls himself a member of the Mechanical Race. His body is forged from steel or other materials and is not made of flesh and blood."

"Similarly, he was the only unfortunate one who ended up in the same situation as us."

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Shu immediately pressed for an answer, wondering if outsiders would also be included in such a network of fate.

At this point, he suddenly felt a chill.

"Friends, there's no need to worry so much; it's different."

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance slowly shook his head and said, "That mechanical friend of mine has dissected humans, demons, and some plant spirits, and extracted the corresponding spiritual roots and demon cores from their brains."

"He used a word that we didn't understand at the time, and we didn't know what it was until later."

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance slowly opened his mouth and uttered a very difficult-to-pronounce word.

However, after exchanging words, Jiang Shuke understood what the other party meant.

If you were to explain it in his language, he would say three words—computer.

"This……"

Jiang Shu's expression suddenly changed, revealing a look of disbelief.

"What I mean is, this thing is actually a computer?"

Jiang Shu took out a spiritual root from his sleeve.

This was something he had just taken from the brain of the slain Venerable One.

Undoubtedly, the information was far more complex and comprehensive than what he sensed remotely from the Li family uncles and nephews, but it had undergone numerous upgrades.

"Not bad!"

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance nodded slowly, pointed to his temple, and said, "Everyone has a similar computer in their head."

"In a sense, we can use these to assist us during cultivation, allowing us to control our bodies and strength with unparalleled precision. That's why we can be so fast at lower levels of cultivation."

"The higher level?"

Jiang Shu immediately pressed for an answer.

When he left this planet, he checked the size of this star field, and it was not much different from the Mingkuang Star Region.

However, there are seven experts at the late stage of the Venerable realm here alone!

It's important to know that before their arrival, there were only a handful of people in the Mingkuang Star Sector!

This sheer numerical disparity deeply shocked him.

Upon hearing his question, the leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance chuckled and asked, "Fellow Daoist, besides one's own temperament, what do you think is the most important thing in cultivation?"

"What is most important..."

Jiang Shu pondered for a moment, then said, "Opportunity."

The opportunities he mentioned were not just about good things and treasures, but also about external forces and various experiences.

Just as some hardships can also be seen as opportunities, they can help us hone ourselves.

Besides, opportunity can bring many things.

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance nodded in agreement, "I think so too, but one's opportunities are always random."

As he said this, he quickly added, "For you, opportunities are truly random."

"And what about you?" Jiang Shu asked.

However, when he said those words, he already had the answer in his heart.

It was destined.

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance slowly uttered these four words.

"Perhaps fate will select a group of beings with the best character and the highest aptitude from the very beginning."

"Then, as they grow, they are given the necessary setbacks and rewards to hone their skills."

"Even with limited resources, such an almost extreme allocation can create a group of top-tier experts."

He then pointed to himself and said, "I am a prime example of that."

"Do you think it is or isn't?"

Jiang Shu remained silent for a moment.

If what the other party said is really true, then it is indeed quite frightening.

In a sense, the differences in talent among the living beings in the world are not that great.

At least enough hard work and various opportunities are needed to reach a certain level.

Or perhaps the highest level, like a sage or Dao Lord, is difficult to cultivate; at least Jiang Shu doesn't know who in this world can become a Dao Lord.

However, if he thought that way, it was actually possible to directly mass-produce Venerables.

Such a thing is something that neither the War Alliance, the Mechanical Race, nor the Human Race and the Demon Race in the other world of the Zerg could do.

There are just too many variables!
No one can be so sure.

He fell silent for a moment, then spoke: "So, when a powerful person in a world is young, they have the spiritual root and demon core in their brain to help them quickly receive cultivation methods. And those who are chosen will then experience various appropriate trials and tribulations to rapidly improve their strength?"

"Yes."

The leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance nodded slowly.

"Perhaps it is precisely because of this exaggerated efficiency that too many resources are consumed, making it difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to cultivate."

"Most people have inferior spiritual roots. If they want to cultivate, they can only rely on constantly training themselves, just like the humans in the outside world."

Jiang Shu nodded to himself.

After hearing this, Jiang Shu slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

He opened his mouth and asked:
"I now understand the so-called cause and effect of fate. So let's talk about why you offered your help, and what your purpose was." (End of Chapter)
