Two Realms: A giant of immortal martial arts emerges from low Wu Gan
Chapter 844 Can You Afford to Gamble with the Years of Time?
Upon hearing his words, a cold laugh rang out.
“I have far more backup plans than him. He’s going all in. Unless he gets divine intervention, how could he possibly go all the way with me?”
"The way of heaven?"
Jiang Shu took a deep look at the golden crow statue, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise and doubt.
He had always known that the Heavenly Dao existed.
The reason why neither the Dao Lord nor the Demon Lord would go all out was because they were guarding against the Heavenly Dao.
Even if he cultivated to his level, he still could not fathom the Dao of Heaven.
"It is not so much the Way of Heaven, but rather a wisp of the Way of Heaven's will, but even this wisp of will is extraordinary."
"I have accumulated countless years, not to fight against the Heavenly Dao, but to contend with the will of Heaven under the Heavenly Dao. However, I never expected that the will of Heaven would be able to even bring out someone like you from outside the heavens."
A helpless voice came from the golden crow statue.
"I see……"
Jiang Shu revealed a hint of understanding, and looked at the golden crow statue with a cold smile, "Senior once wanted to kill me, and now that your soul is hidden in this golden statue, then please, Senior, go to your death."
Without the slightest hesitation, he was about to make his move when he heard a voice.
"and many more!"
"What, you want to struggle in your death throes too?"
Jiang Shu remained calm and indifferent: "Senior is, after all, an emperor of his generation. Lord of Time, if you want to beg for mercy, then forget it. Why do something so degrading?"
Jiang Shu spoke calmly, his actions showing no hesitation whatsoever.
"Hahaha... Now that I've already lost, why would I beg for mercy from you?"
The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor's extremely cold voice came from within, "You don't need to lift a finger, my divine soul can no longer hold on. Perhaps in just a few hundred breaths, it will shatter and disappear on its own."
"I only have one question for you!"
"please say."
Jiang Shu spoke calmly, while protecting himself to prevent being tricked by the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor again.
"When I self-destructed my physical body, why were you exempted and vanished without a trace?"
"Where have you been?!"
The Heavenly Emperor immediately spoke.
Jiang Shu looked calmly at the person in front of her without saying a word.
The next moment, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor's voice rang out again, "Guess what? You went to another world? A world completely different from the Demon Realm and the Vast Expanse, a world with entirely different laws and principles!"
As soon as the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor finished speaking, a flash of lightning would appear in Jiang Shu's mind.
This was the first time his trail had been discovered, but Jiang Shu quickly laughed and said, "How can you possibly guess this? Isn't that a bit too absurd?"
"absurd……"
At this moment, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor laughed loudly, "When my immortal embryo was destroyed and my physical body self-destructed, my last thought was swept into the depths of the River of Time."
"But I have searched the entire river of time and found no trace of you. How is this possible? Even if the river of time is incomplete, it can still record where you have been, yet you are not in the river?"
"Could it be that you have already reached the realm of immortality, where one's fate is uncertain as one steps into the long river of life?"
After a long silence, Jiang Shu chuckled softly and said directly, "It seems that someone has finally guessed it. Senior, you truly have excellent eyesight! Indeed, I have gone to another world to avoid the calamity!"
"Then why have you come back now? Unless another calamity has befallen another world, and you've been beaten back like a dog?"
The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor's loud laughter rang out once more.
Jiang Shu remained completely calm, showing no sign of being provoked whatsoever.
“Senior, if you want to provoke me, there’s no need to use such methods.”
"Tell me what you encountered over there, and perhaps I can offer some advice. I am about to die, and I always have some good intentions when I am about to die."
"bona fide?"
Jiang Shu immediately scoffed.
"Well, in that realm, we have indeed encountered a formidable enemy..."
Jiang Shu casually described what the mechanical giant looked like.
"Interesting, truly interesting. A monster born from a race, a monster formed from countless heads, capable of calculating the heavens and the earth, tsk tsk tsk, I wonder how such a monster was constructed?"
After hearing Jiang Shu's description, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor was filled with emotion.
"Senior, do you have any ideas on how to deal with this monster?"
"You only said a few words casually. If you want to deal with him, I'll probably need to be there in person to see if I can find any flaws."
The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor chuckled and spoke.
"Unless you need a junior to take you away from this world?"
Jiang Shu sneered, "That's naturally impossible!"
Why is it impossible?
The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor spoke curiously!
"If we take you away from this world, what will happen to you?"
"If given the opportunity, I will do my utmost to enhance my cultivation and see if I can return to my peak state in another world."
The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor spoke up as a matter of course.
"If that's the case, senior, aren't you afraid I'll just destroy your current place of refuge?"
"Destroy it all, it'll just mean a quicker death!"
The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor spoke casually, seemingly quite indifferent.
Jiang Shu was taken aback.
He wondered if this person had truly disregarded life and death and was no longer concerned about anything.
He was silent for a moment, then the thought came to mind, and he said, "Senior, you will soon perish?"
"Of course, I can't hold on much longer. Even if I abandon most of my power and am exposed to this void, I will still be eroded by the Great Dao of Time. Even if it is very weak, my soul will dissipate by now."
"Is that so..."
Jiang Shu pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered that he had obtained a legacy, and said directly, "I have a legacy here that might help you survive temporarily, senior. Would you like to give it a try?"
"Oh?"
The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor showed a hint of surprise, "What inheritance? Is there any inheritance in this world that can resist the erosion of the Heavenly Will?"
"How will we know if we don't try? It's just a pity..." Jiang Shu slowly shook his head, "Senior no longer has time to study that method."
However, upon hearing these words, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor chuckled inwardly, "That may not be true."
"Time flows here, and the pace of life accelerates. I may not be unable to use the magic."
"Oh?"
Jiang Shu raised an eyebrow slightly, so he simply passed on the part of the orc saint's faith legacy.
This lineage tells the story of resisting the assimilation of the rules of the universe.
In an instant, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor sensed the message Jiang Shu had conveyed, and the entire Golden Crow statue trembled slightly for a moment.
"This...this could be a Dao Lord's inheritance?"
"Senior, you truly have excellent judgment!" Jiang Shu nodded slightly.
In his view, the Dao Lord level should be no different from the Sage level.
Upon hearing his approval, the flow of time around the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor increased once more. He continued to examine the contents of the document, and the surrounding space trembled slightly.
"Do you possess that faith and spiritual essence?"
"Have."
Jiang Shu nodded slightly and then sent a portion of his power over.
At this moment, he was also very curious about what the effect of this method was.
In an instant, as he emitted that reflection of faith, the golden elephant of the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor almost swallowed that Daoist charm with its mouth open.
At that very moment, Jiang Shu raised an eyebrow and immediately saw something seemingly spreading out from the void.
"That is?"
Jiang Shu's pupils contracted slightly.
He sensed it; it seemed to be strands of faith power!
"The power of faith? Yes! This is the ruins of the Heavenly Court, where many powerful figures of the Heavenly Court once slept. It is reasonable to say that they had faith in this Heavenly Emperor."
Jiang Shu was surprised, and finally looked up with great curiosity.
He wondered if the person in front of him could survive again with the help of that faith.
However, under his gaze, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor's divine soul began to fluctuate violently.
"Is it going to be destroyed?"
Jiang Shu's heart stirred.
Just when he thought that the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor's soul was about to completely collapse, an unexpected event occurred. That wisp of soul seemed to have some support and actually stabilized!
"That works!?"
Jiang Shu was immediately shocked.
Could it be that the path of faith can truly enable the Dao Lord and the Demon Lord to break free from assimilation by the Heavenly Dao?
Jiang Shu could hardly believe it, almost instinctively.
After all, if the path of faith has such wonderful uses, then in the vast universe, any saint would probably cultivate the path of faith to maintain their own state.
"Senior, how are you feeling?"
Jiang Shu couldn't help but ask at this moment.
"Hehehe... This feeling is truly extraordinary." After a moment, a strange voice came from the golden crow statue.
Jiang Shu raised an eyebrow slightly.
"how?"
"To come up with such a method to prolong life, one can truly be called a genius..."
The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor couldn't help but comment, and then said, "This method cannot resist the assimilation of the Heavenly Dao."
"Ah? If that's the case, why are you still able to exist stably now, senior?"
Jiang Shu asked in surprise.
"Because, in essence, it introduces another kind of erosion and assimilation into the battle," the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor commented.
"what?"
"It introduces another kind of erosion. So-called faith is neither power nor purification; it is another kind of erosion."
The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor repeated it once more.
"The Heavenly Emperor's Great Dao erodes and assimilates us, acting on our primordial spirit. It erodes our primordial spirit at all times, and we resist it at all times. Even using the power of the laws slightly may accelerate the erosion."
"The method you gave is a shortcut, which is equivalent to introducing faith as a second form of erosion in order to resist the erosion of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth."
"I am caught between faith and the Great Way, struggling to maintain a balance. Once that balance is broken, it means true death and the annihilation of my spiritual path."
"I see..."
Jiang Shu suddenly realized something, and his lips twitched: "So that's the reason. No wonder it can resist the assimilation of heaven and earth."
He suddenly realized that the orc saint was truly worthy of being a saint, having come up with such a method.
Then, the next moment, Jiang Shu looked at the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor and asked, "Now, I wonder how long you can live?"
“I should have died soon, but after receiving your wonderful method, I can rely on the power of faith. As long as my balance is not broken and my faith does not wither, I will not die for the time being.”
The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor immediately spoke.
"I never imagined that I would end up saving your life, senior."
Jiang Shu glanced at the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor and then said, "Senior, although you can survive for a longer period of time now, it seems that you can no longer exert the combat power of the Dao Lord level."
"good……"
"Now, give me a reason not to kill you."
Jiang Shu immediately spoke, his voice extremely sinister, staring intently at the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor before him.
It seemed that as long as the emperor didn't give him a reasonable excuse, he would immediately take action and kill the senior in front of him.
"A reason not to kill me? Heh, this is the first time anyone has spoken to me like this." The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor sneered, then said, "I see you have been cultivating here for a long time. I suppose you are only one step away from the late stage of the Venerable Realm?"
"I can help you take that final step."
"Does the senior think I would believe you?"
Jiang Shu looked doubtful.
"You don't have to believe me," the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor replied. "Do you know why I was able to preserve my life in the river of time, unlike that old thing which was completely annihilated?"
Why?
"Because I planted a backup plan in that body long ago. That body is not my current body, but a body that I found in the long river of time."
"I see."
Jiang Shu looked as if he had just realized something.
"If you have the guts, I can help you reach the late stage of the Venerable realm, but you will have to agree to one condition."
"Hehe, the fact that I can tolerate your body and soul not being completely destroyed is already my condition."
Jiang Shu spoke coldly.
If this emperor were at his peak, Jiang Shu would not have spoken like this. However, even if the emperor used faith to prolong his life, he is now only a wisp of soul and cannot cause any trouble.
"Heh... Such conditions, are you unwilling to accept them?"
The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor laughed again, "If you are unwilling to accept it, then so be it. In any case, if I don't get rid of the Great Dao's erosion, even with the method of prolonging life through faith, I will only live a few more days at most."
Jiang Shu had never imagined that a Dao Lord could be so indifferent, as if he took everything lightly.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Shu turned and left almost immediately.
Just then, a voice drifted over.
"Could it be that you intend to waste time here? You were being chased and had no choice but to flee here. The seal on the outside world probably requires a late-stage Venerable realm to break in a short time."
"If you were to cultivate diligently, how many years would it take? Without the help of the River of Time and the True Water of the Universe, it might take decades, or even a hundred years."
"The outside world changes rapidly. Can you afford to gamble with the passage of decades or even centuries?" (End of Chapter)
