A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 727 Fate, truly unpredictable

With a quick thought, Xiong Mo understood.

Now, almost all those with great supernatural powers are aware that the three innate beings of the other shore in all the heavens and myriad realms have disappeared.

Without the existence of "Yuanshi Tianzun", there would be no otherworldly will to create all the heavens and myriad realms, and no next era would exist.

Given this, whether the end of the era will come early is no longer the primary concern for these great beings of creation who have not yet achieved perfection.

Their primary goal is to survive this terrifying catastrophe in the future.

Currently, there are only two ways to break the deadlock and survive.

The first method involves seeking out the three extraordinary beings left behind by the other shore, hiding within the "Myriad Realms" of these divine weapons, and using the power of the other shore level to "avoid" or "delay" the calamity.

The second option is to perfect one's own creative state, attempt to break free from the sea of ​​suffering before the final calamity arrives, reach the other shore, become the will of heaven, and thus have the possibility of resisting the final calamity of the era alone, and have the hope of continuing to survive in the vast chaos.

Wu Fan and Gu Diao, along with other powerful beings with extraordinary abilities, chose the second method.

This is also the primary method chosen by all powerful beings at the Perfect Creation level who possess pseudo-Other Shore power.

"It has been recognized that when the Nine Heavens Realm and the Nine Netherworld Realm are brought about by the end of the era, even if they are not completely destroyed, they will inevitably become broken and depleted in the vast chaos after the end of the era, and finally be completely buried here."

"The chance of gaining the approval of the peerless beings on the other side and thus obtaining access to the 'myriad worlds' within the divine weapon for refuge is too slim."

"Therefore, we must do everything we can to push our cultivation to its limit and perfect our own realm before the final calamity arrives."

Xiong Mo saw through the thoughts of these powerful beings, summarized them, and then shook his head slightly.

"From the perspective of ordinary people with great supernatural powers, this idea is not wrong, but if we look at it from the root, it is ridiculously wrong, or rather, it does not take into account the meaning symbolized by the Three Pure Ones at all."

With a slight strain, Xiong Mo freed up a sliver of sacrificial power and poured it into the [Tai Chi Diagram], allowing this peerless artifact from the other shore to exert even more suppressive power and incidentally interfere with a portion of the future. He then turned his attention back from the [Real World] to the three thousand Creation Perfection experts sitting cross-legged in front of him, their faces filled with contemplation.

He nodded slightly, and the manifested Daoist voice subtly shifted, beginning to expound on a "heretical path" that abandons external laws and principles, sacrifices the great Dao one cultivates, and relies solely on oneself.

In an instant, a mysterious feeling, unlike anything before, rose from Xiong Mo's body.

This is not a legal principle, nor a Daoist principle, nor a Daoist principle, but a kind of mystery that is close to "nothingness," as if it stands on the opposite side of the existence of all things, yet it seems to be a part of the "Dao."

However, the moment the many beings who had achieved perfect enlightenment sensed it, their expressions froze, and the more they listened to the cultivation philosophy within, the more dazed their eyes became.

For no other reason than that, compared to what they had previously cultivated and learned, this "heretical path" was far too brutal, too cruel, and too vicious.

If we say that the "inner vision" system circulating in the current "real world" is similar to an extremely refined carving, using only the principles of law to cultivate to the point of "approaching the Dao", or even to cultivate a certain aspect of the "Dao", it is full of the mystery of the Dao and the law.

So, this "heretical path" is like cultivating only one's own savage and ferocious nature. All laws and principles are merely "fuel" for becoming stronger. Ultimately, it is all about strengthening oneself. When one reaches the "end of the road," even the "path" one possesses can be sacrificed to strengthen oneself.

"Can Xuanhuang Tianzun's cultivation system really work?" When he heard the end and had a complete understanding of this "heretical" cultivation system, even the Golden Emperor, who had a full understanding of destruction, end, and even the final calamity, turned slightly pale.

Qiongqi shook his head, a look of panic appearing on his face. He thought to himself, "This 'heretical path' is too forceful. We are born with destiny, and are part of the 'Great Dao'. We are the embodiment of many laws and principles. If in the end we have to abandon all laws and principles and sacrifice them, then am I still myself?"

After pondering for a while, the Fire Emperor felt extremely tired and sighed inwardly, "In principle, this is feasible and can give one's own body power comparable to the weaker side."

"However, I am currently at the peak of my creation. Once I 'sacrifice' all my illusory Dao and transform it into my Dao Body, making it part of my 'physical' power, and finally achieve the ultimate sublimation, possessing power comparable to the weak other shore, then the illusory Dao that I have cultivated and learned will be essentially destroyed."

"If you want to reach the level of the other shore that is close to the three innate other shores in the future, the only way is to start over, condense the illusory Great Dao from what you have cultivated and learned, and advance it to the level of perfect creation."

Aohen also shook his head silently. Even though he had long been prepared to give up becoming the weak other shore, he had no choice but to shake his head when he saw this method.

In fact, the illusory path is only one aspect. On the other hand, this way of becoming the "otherworldly shore" is too violent. It is not a big deal if you die if you fail, but the probability of successfully obtaining the power of the weak otherworldly shore through this "otherworldly path" is too slim and too unpredictable. It is not worth risking your life unless it is the last moment.

At least for those of them who are highly accomplished beings at the level of perfect creation and can break free from suffering at any time and try to reach the other shore, it is somewhat a losing proposition.

After the teachings of the Celestial Venerable Xuanhuang, they have clearly understood all the difficulties in attaining the other shore of enlightenment. Now they are just waiting for this Celestial Venerable to take the first step and truly reach the other shore. As long as it is indeed feasible, they will follow closely behind.

Whether one cultivates the "other way" to attain the "other shore" or the orthodox other shore, the outcome is the same: failure means death. So why not give it a shot and become a true orthodox being close to the three innate beings of the other shore? Is that better than the "other way other shore," which, even if one succeeds, can only be compared to a weaker other shore?

Anyone can do the math.

However, the one with the perfect destiny, who held a Bodhi seed and had a sturdy build, felt something inexplicably in his heart.

As He pondered the concepts of this "heretical" path in His heart and deduced them using the paths of Nirvana and Annihilation, He was somewhat surprised to find that this set of cultivation concepts seemed to fit Him perfectly.

Whether it is Nirvana or Nirvana, they are remarkably in line with this "heretical path." It is as if the ideas that lead to the "end" of this "heretical path" are transformed and evolved from these two, with little change in essence or core.

This master of creation silently scanned his surroundings, observing the frowning and silent demeanor of the many masters of creation, and gained some insight.

"The core of Nirvana is Nirvana, and the core of Nirvana is Nirvana. Whether it is to sacrifice the illusory path one has cultivated, or to transform oneself and make one's body possess power comparable to the weaker other shore, thus becoming the other shore of the external path, it is all in line with the core of my cultivation."

"The Way of Fire, the Way of Earth, the Way of the Four Symbols, etc., may require a long period of reconstruction after being 'sacrificed' and integrated into oneself. But my Nirvana, my Nirvana, may be different."

This sturdy-looking being, holding a Bodhi seed, a being of great supernatural power, looked at the Xuanhuang Heavenly Venerable before him, his eyelids slowly lowering, his mind becoming even more serene.

He sighed inwardly, “Perhaps the reason why the teacher was able to cultivate to such a ‘otherworldly shore’ is because of the Path of Dreams.”

“A single thought, a single dream, exists between ‘existence’ and ‘non-existence’. Even if one were to ‘sacrifice’ the illusory path one cultivates and merge it into oneself, one would likely return to the illusory path of perfect creation the moment after attaining the ‘otherworld’.

"Perhaps for a teacher, cruelty, brutality, and ruthlessness are unimportant to the Path of Dreams; they are all fleeting illusions, vanishing in an instant. But for me, the various problems still exist. I need to make slight modifications to this 'heretical path,' smoothing out some of its 'edges.'" With this thought in mind, this great master of creation immediately took advantage of the fact that the Xuanhuang Heavenly Venerable was still projecting this "myriad realms" and, using the various principles within it, began to slightly modify this "heretical path" to better suit himself.

The eagle awoke from its state of enlightenment and thoroughly understood the various aspects of the "otherworldly path" and the "orthodox path."

However, as He looked up at the Xuanhuang Heavenly Venerable in front of Him, a little confusion quietly welled up in His heart.

"This Celestial Venerable has already explained all the key points of the 'Orthodox Other Shore' and the methods of achieving the 'Heretical Other Shore,' and has revealed the 'secrets' of the end of the era, in exchange for our enlightenment and karma."

"Everything should have come to a complete end by now, so why does He continue to project this 'myriad worlds'?"

In Da'e's view, Xuanhuang Tianzun is now doing a thankless job.

"He could not have deliberately manifested all the laws and principles so that we, with our perfect creation, could comprehend them."

"At our current level, we are already close to the limit of the Creation Realm. Even if we comprehend a few more illusory Great Daos, it will not add any more foundation to prove the other shore."

"What other scheme does He have up his sleeve?"
-
[The Real World], Mount Shaoxian.

Of the fourteen vast and illusory principles of the Great Dao, only two remain today.

One is a "relief" on the verge of collapse, while the other is a "calamity" that seems to gather all kinds of misfortunes and calamities, but can never be integrated into one.

Wu Fan's primordial spirit, on the verge of collapse, glanced at his remaining half-head and sighed.

He stared ahead at a bizarre creature with eagle wings, seventeen twisted long legs, more than twenty strange eyes of different kinds, a body covered in feathers and scales, and a gaping, ferocious maw—a creature utterly indescribable.

Wu Fan's voice echoed through the void, "What should I call you now?"

"Gu Diao? Zhu Jian? Da Zhi? Or Ran Yi?"

Wu Fan never imagined that his desperate scheme to bind all his enemies with heavenly secrets and karma would create such an astonishing and indescribable demon!

It is still a demon whose essence is infinitely close to the perfection of creation, which is in harmony with the environment of the Nine Netherworld and meets the standards of favor from the will of the Nine Netherworld!

Fate is truly cruel!
"I am the Gu Diao."

"No, I should be the Fiend."

"No, no, no, I must be a horse's belly!"

"."

Dozens of different voices uttered terrifying murmurs within the demon's body, each vying for its own "ownership," directly stirring up a law that was twisted to an extreme degree, causing an indescribable gray liquid to seep into the vast land, permanently altering the laws of heaven and earth in this region of the [True Realm].

Terrifying shockwaves spread, and even the aftershocks were enough to overwhelm Wu Fan, who only had half a head left, threatening to completely destroy his primordial spirit and true soul.

At this moment, the consciousness within this demon seemed to unify, and the different murmurs seemed to overlap, carrying a sense of fusion.

His indescribable limbs slowly rose high, whispering, "I should be called... Chaos!"

"boom!"

One after another, divine lightning bolts fell from the sky. The name seemed to violate some unspeakable taboo, but under an equally unspeakable distortion, the falling divine lightning bolts were silently deflected, landing only on this distorted land of ten thousand miles, without affecting this strange and evil demon.

Wu Fan's mind trembled. Chaos, in other words, is the limitless.

Among all the heavens and myriad realms, only the Primordial Heavenly Venerable can refer to himself as "Wuji" (limitless).

Because this Celestial Venerable is "Wuji" itself, and he himself symbolizes "from nothing to something" before the creation of heaven and earth.

Having experienced two final tribulations and three eras, Wu Fan had a very clear and thorough understanding of concepts such as "limitless" and "chaos."

Therefore, this indescribable demon intends to openly seize the position of "Yuanshi Tianzun" from this moment on.
Yuanshi Tianzun disappeared less than an epoch ago.
How could you dare?!
Chaos's hideous eyes slowly shifted their gaze, looking at Wu Fan, and extending a twisted claw.

His voice overlapped, distorted, and seemed disordered: "Now, I am but one. Come, surrender everything. I will devour the entire human race, completely perfect my creation, break free from the sea of ​​suffering, and reach the other shore!"

As soon as he finished speaking, cause and effect and destiny resonated and transformed into chains that bound and restrained Wu Fan's broken limbs, his shattered primordial spirit and true soul, trying to control his movements and make him fulfill the "oath" he had made before the battle.

Wu Fan smiled silently. "Those who toy with fate will ultimately be toyed with by fate; those who manipulate cause and effect will ultimately be devoured by cause and effect."

"Fate is truly unpredictable, and cause and effect are inescapable."

Wu Fan did not continue to resist. Under the control of fate and cause and effect, all the human race's savings were taken out, placed in front of him, and instantly thrown into the chaos. Among them was a bronze mirror that was emitting brilliant starlight and flashing with more than a dozen vast and illusory paths.

Chaos's eyes suddenly contracted, and it screamed loudly.

In this special environment, the interior of this bronze mirror, inscribed with numerous illusory Dao principles, miraculously merged into one, giving rise to a semi-formed illusory Dao fruit that was trembling wildly.

It neither rose nor had the intention of ascending to the deepest part of the structure of all the heavens and myriad worlds; it simply bloomed "quietly."

Wu Fan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Fate is truly unpredictable!"
