I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 638: The Collision between Humanity and Sacred Heart

Sand young.

Hao Ren pondered for a while and nodded slightly.

At the beginning, Zhou Tieyi legitimately announced his identity as a god and invited various pacification envoys from the surrounding areas, including Sha Youcheng, to participate in the meeting. At that time, Hao Ren remembered that Sha Youcheng was the one who supported it.

Although he is considered a member of the Ning Wang Mansion, after the Battle of Pingjindu, the Ning Wang Mansion's attention to Sha Youcheng has sharply decreased after the giant mountain ape, Sha Youcheng's greatest support, sacrificed himself to fill the earth veins. However, the giant mountain ape still has a chance to revive because of Zhou Tieyi, which makes Sha Youcheng unconsciously move closer to Zhou's party.

"But I remember that Sha Youcheng used a secret method to make that mountain giant ape practice Confucianism. How much strength does he have left now? Can he fight against Gao Wencan?"

Hao Ren raised his own questions.

Since Shen Tuyuan had recommended Sha Youcheng, he naturally had some research on this matter. He smiled and said, "Back then, the Heavenly Venerable remembered the great mountain ape's contribution to the restoration of the earth, and specially left a glimmer of hope for it, promising that it would be born half a century later. But at that time, the Heavenly Venerable had not yet recovered its divine power. Now it has ascended to the holy throne again. As long as a few of us recommend this matter at the Divine Assembly, with the Heavenly Venerable's means, helping a third-grade mountain ape to be born, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?"

No one present had any doubt about this.

Hao Ren thought for a while and said, "Then let the three of us recommend him together."

The three of them closed their eyes and wandered in their minds, communicating with the Mingyue System through the Taiyi Godhead in their bodies. The next moment, the virtual mechanical vehicle was enveloped by an almighty force, and the surrounding environment became completely virtual.

They came to a world of pure rules, which was full of colors. Dragon seals were born from the rules and transformed into dragons, phoenixes and unicorns, flying among the colors. In a moment, they merged into the boundless heaven and earth.

Just paying a little attention to it can help one to gain a lot in spiritual practice, but the benefits of directly realizing the origin of heaven and earth can also make one lose one's will and become lost.

Fortunately, in this world there is a personified incarnation of heaven and earth. Under the dragon, phoenix and unicorn, there sits a being of infinite size and light in the middle. He is wearing a twelve-chapter gorgeous robe and sitting on a lotus platform composed of the world. The stars are flowing under His feet and the sun is hanging high behind Him. Even divine creatures like dragons and phoenixes are like docile kittens and puppies in His hands. His infinite power and virtue are beyond words.

"What do you want?"

Zhou Tieyi woke up from the state of suppression.

Suppressing a world is not an easy task for Tianzun, especially when the will of an opponent of the same level is sealed in this world. This requires Zhou Tieyi's will to be integrated with the will of the world at all times and immersed in the great way of heaven and earth. Only in this way can he reach every corner of the world and prevent unexpected changes.

However, the longer this state lasts, the less humanity Zhou Tieyi naturally has, and only his holy heart remains. That is a state in which the world looks at the universe, transcending human feelings of birth, aging, sickness and death. Naturally, there is no anger, pain, happiness, disgust and other personality emotions.

Zhou Tieyi's voice awakened the three people's will from their transformation.

Even though these three were Zhou Tieyi's most trusted confidants, when faced with Zhou Tieyi in this state, they couldn't help but have the same thought in their minds at the same time, that is, Zhou Tieyi as a 'person' has gradually disappeared, and in front of them is the 'Tianzun' who illuminates the world.

They didn't dare to speak as casually in front of Zhou Tieyi as before. That was what Zhou Tieyi liked, not what Tianzun liked. They bowed their heads like believers praying in front of a statue of God.

"I request to resign from the God Punishment Department and go to Miaoshan City to take up a post."

Shentu Yuan opened his mouth and stated his request.

Before he could give a reason, Zhou Tieyi's gaze was focused on him. Countless dragon seals were born from the void, and these dragon seals gathered to form a river with no beginning and no end. The divine light on Zhou Tieyi's body shone in this river, and every ray of light that fell into the river formed a human figure.

These human figures come from Zhou Tieyi's Taoist tradition, and this river comes from the origin of the world. The two converge to form a long river that reflects the lives of all beings.

Shentu Yuan only felt that he was like a stone falling into this long river, causing an insignificant "splash of water", which in turn affected the figures around him, forming images like those in a bubble dream.

In this image, Shentu Yuan saw mechanical creations that were as big as mountain apes. He saw himself wearing blood-red armor, commanding these mechanical creations. He saw Yuanmeng's cavalry flying across the sky, but this time Daxia was no longer powerless. Instead, one after another flying rocs like clouds rose into the sky, forming a huge dark cloud that stretched for thousands of miles, completely blocking the Yuanmeng cavalry...

This was the scene of the future battle between Daxia and Yuanmeng. Shentu Yuan's thought had just come to his mind, and he was still a little confused about this dream-like scene with no causal order, when Zhou Tieyi's voice broke the long river of life.

"allow."

The illusory river of history disappeared, and Shentu Yuan looked at Tianzun in awe. He really wanted to get the same teachings from Zhou Tieyi as before, but the will of the world is unpredictable today, just like the Tianzun in front of him. Just one word has included everything, making it difficult to guess.

Hao Ren had more contact with Zhou Tieyi in this state. He cupped his hands and said, "After Shen Tuyuan leaves, I request that Sha Youcheng take over Shen Tuyuan's position and control the God Execution Division."

Zhou Tieyi had seen the future through Shen Tuyuan. He showed a rare human expression and looked at the void beside him, "What do you think of this?"

Next to Zhou Tieyi, there appeared a Yuanjun figure that was only half his height. This Yuanjun was not majestic at all, but rather like a clear spring flowing from a mountain stream, beautiful yet restrained.

But if you look closely, you will find that this restraint is only an appearance. Behind Yuanjun stands a portal. This portal is blurry and indescribable, and the inside is dark and chaotic, which contrasts with the infinite light of Tianzun. But in this infinite darkness and chaos, the deep black color forms the land, which is vast and boundless, and the light gray color forms the sky, which is boundless, no less than the world lotus platform where Tianzun sits.

Miaoyu reached out and took out something from the Xuanpin Gate. It was a dark yellow lotus. With the power of Mother Earth, it would naturally be able to make up for the loss of the mountain giant ape's essence.

Zhou Tieyi said, "The origins of the mountain giant ape are two things. One comes from the Earth Mother Taoism, and the other comes from the Confucian righteousness. I can give you the Earth Mother Taoism, but you need to find the Confucian righteousness elsewhere."

Hao Ren frowned. Given the current relationship between the Zhou Party and Confucianism, could they find the source of Confucianism's righteousness?
But before he could finish thinking about this, Zhou Tieyi waved his sleeves and sent the three people out from the origin of the lotus world.

In the imaginary mechanical car, Hao Ren and the other two were still pondering Zhou Tieyi's reminder, when they saw a dark yellow lotus flower floating down from nowhere, but it did not fall on Hao Ren and the other two, but fell into Yu Hong's arms. This startled everyone present.

Yu Hong was holding the Xuanhuang Lotus, not knowing what to do. Seeing the three big men looking at him, he subconsciously wanted to give the lotus to him, but Hao Ren stood up and pushed Yu Hong's hand back into his arms, "Since the Heavenly Venerable gave this lotus to you, it means that you are the key to this matter."

Yu Hong was completely confused. He came out of the Lotus World this time because he really wanted to see the outside world, but he was more of a tourist. Who would have thought that suddenly, such an important thing would fall on him.

“But I don’t understand anything yet.”

Yu Hong said subconsciously.

"Not understanding has its advantages." Hao Ren said with a smile, "It is said that the will of heaven is unpredictable. It is precisely because you don't understand anything that you will not speculate on the will of heaven. Instead, you will achieve the best. This is the Taoist concept of letting nature take its course."

He paused for a moment and then said, "You have heard what the Heavenly Venerable said. In addition to the Xuanhuang Lotus, we also need the Confucian righteousness. Although we have a clue, since the Heavenly Venerable did not let us do it, he must be worried that something might go wrong on our part. You can go to Tangzhou Prefecture to find Sha Youcheng. He will find a solution."

Yu Hong looked at his father, and Boss Yu smiled and said, "Since this is what the Heavenly Lord asked you to do, you should do it well."

Although Boss Yu could not guess what Zhou Tieyi meant at the moment, he understood that this was a task of delivering letters and running errands. There might be twists and turns in the process, but regardless of who the letter and errand were for, generally speaking there would not be too much danger. After all, he had not made mortal enemies with others, and Yu Hong's benefits were indispensable in the whole process.

Yu Hong nodded. It was the first time he saw Zhou Tieyi in this state. It was even more shocking than when he left the Lotus World on Feipeng and saw Tianzun in the moon shadow.

But this was very different from the character of Zhou Tieyi that his father had told him about. He couldn't help but whisper, "Is Tianzun always like this now?"

This question made everyone present silent for a while, especially Hao Ren and others, who compared Zhou Tieyi with the current Tianzun.

The Heavenly Lord before them was indeed of boundless power and majesty, and his every word and action seemed to determine some kind of historical change, completely in line with their imagination of a saint.

However, comparing the divinity of the Tianzun in front of them and Zhou Tieyi's previous humanity, they were more inclined to the humane Zhou Tieyi in their hearts.

There is no other reason, because God’s will is unpredictable.

However, discussing the humanity and divinity of the Heavenly Lord now was definitely an overstepping of authority, and none of their close associates dared to speculate.

Ah Da had followed Zhou Tieyi the longest. The image of the young master in his memory was getting further and further away from the image of the Heavenly Lord. He sighed, "It's hard to predict God's will."

The center of an infinite world of rules.

After Ada and the others left, Zhou Tieyi became more human. He said to Miaoyu beside him, "I used to think that the saints' ability to decide the future in a single thought was an infinite magical power, but now, I just think it is an endless burden. It is a burden for the saints and for all living beings."

When Zhou Tieyi understood the strong observer effect in this world, he understood one thing, which is why fortune tellers cannot predict one's closest relatives.

There is no need to say much about ordinary fortune tellers, but if a fortune teller really practices to the extreme and can see the future, why can't he predict the future for his closest relatives?

A saint is the most brilliant fortune teller, because when you see a certain future, this future becomes a possibility, and although this possibility will not be as certain as at the cost of the saint falling from sainthood, it is infinitely close to the fact of the future because of the influence of the saint's Taoism and without the interference of other saints.

So when Mara told the Buddha that at the end of the Dharma, he would replace the Buddha’s sons and grandsons, the Buddha burst into tears, because he had already seen this future and it had become a fact. The Buddha himself was the anchor point for determining this matter, so no matter how hard he tried, he would only facilitate this process.

If this process is completely objective, it would be acceptable, but the problem is that because of the strong observer effect, this matter is not completely objective, and it also carries a kind of subjective arbitrariness that Zhou Tieyi himself cannot control.

Just as Zhou Tieyi explained to Deng Xuehu at the time, when a saint looks at sentient beings, it is as if he is watching a lucid dream of his own. If the saint can always enter into a state of meditation and remain lucid during the dream, then they will not be affected by sentient beings.

But even saints can be negligent sometimes. They may lose focus for a moment, and they will not be affected by sentient beings immediately, but sentient beings will be affected by saints.

For example, when seeing Shen Tu Yuan say that he was going to participate in the Yuan-Meng War, if Zhou Tieyi was distracted and thought of the concepts of death and sacrifice, then Shen Tu Yuan, who was most influenced by his Taoism, would experience a catastrophe in the illusory fate of all lives.

To Shentu Yuan, this disaster was just as bizarre as a dream. He could not even accurately see the cause and effect and could only see fragments like a premonition dream.

But if in this clash of sects, a scene of him being killed accidentally appeared and was observed by Zhou Tieyi, then Shen Tu Yuan would be in danger of death, or even death.

In a single thought, one can cause the people around you to fall into disaster, and they may not even notice it. However, the saints have already seen how they died. That is so sad that the Buddha shed tears.

So over the past six months, in order to suppress the world, Zhou Tieyi has always maintained the transcendent state of a saint. At the same time, he has to avoid revealing his own humanity, thereby affecting the fate of those around him with his joys and sorrows. This is not only the reason for the erosion of the world, but also the reason why he needs to restrain himself.

On the contrary, although Miaoyu is not a strong observer, she is like a reef at the bottom of the river, and is much more capable of anchoring herself than a small stone like Shentu Yuan. As long as Zhou Tieyi does not deliberately foresee Miaoyu's future, his thoughts will not affect Miaoyu's existence.

Miaoyu looked at Zhou Tieyi distressedly, "I didn't expect that the sainthood would be like this. It's better not to be a saint."

Zhou Tieyi said softly, "Everyone in the world says that saints are good, because in the eyes of the world, after becoming a saint, fame, wealth, beauty, and the world are all within easy reach. But who has ever thought that for a saint, these are nothing but passing clouds, and only the great way and loneliness are eternal."
