Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 634 After Returning
In this dark and desolate place, there is no flowing road, no ripples in time and space, and no entanglement of cause and effect.

There were only two groups of true spirits emitting light, but the light of the young Immortal Emperor's true spirit was growing stronger day by day, while Li Zhi remained in a half-dead state and might be trapped here forever, unable to go out.

However, after years of research, Li Zhi discovered the source of that vitality.

The ultimate form of death is life, but life cannot be born simply by relying on one's own dead energy.

One must at least possess several times more dead energy than one's own in order to give birth to the power of resurrection.

Moreover, all that deathly energy came from the dead people who were causally related to him.

Combining what Li Zhi knew about the resurrection process of the three Heavenly Emperors, almost every one of them took away more than two powerful people of the same realm before dying in battle.

In addition, the deaths of countless masters who were causally connected to them gave them the energy basis for resurrection.

As we all know, life will not be born out of thin air, and death will not disappear out of thin air.

Although this is a dark and cold place, it seems that there is nothing.

But if you truly feel its existence, you will find that this is actually a hollowed-out world.

Because the Tao does not exist, all things do not come into being, resulting in everything being nothingness.

But in fact, there is no so-called true place of nothingness in the world, otherwise true spirits would not exist.

The so-called land of nothingness has never been a real place, but more like a geographical concept.

However, this place is not without merit.

Precisely because there is no trace of Tao, he is Tao.

Everything he thinks is the Tao, everything he does is the Tao, and all his actions are the Tao.

Mortals know to eat when they are hungry.

When a monk is hungry, he knows to absorb and exhale the essence of heaven and earth.

So if the true spirit is hungry, how can it fill its stomach?

Of course it’s eating.

Li Zhi came to the young Immortal Emperor's spiritual light group and said, "I'm sorry, I have reasons to live. Your fair path, just follow me, after all, this ancient history does not belong to you. Although it doesn't completely belong to me, but I feel that the real end is in front of me, and I can only sacrifice your life temporarily."

After saying that, Li Zhi transformed into a straw and began to absorb the vitality in the young Immortal Emperor's spiritual light ball.

Then he felt that his body, which had stopped solidifying, continued to solidify.

Finally, when his body was completely solidified, the young Immortal Emperor's spiritual light had become extremely dim.

It was even dimmer than the light ball that appeared when the ruthless emperor came here.

However, with this experience, after being resurrected in the future, he will only need to practice for a period of time and he will still be able to become a being above the Dao of Sacrifice.

"Whoever holds the pen in the universe through the ages, I am the Tao, and the Tao is me!"

After talking to himself for a while, Li Zhi's figure reappeared from the place where he was chopped to death by Emperor Huang Tian with the Seven Heaven-defying Demon Swords.

Feeling the familiar aura of the black barrier, Li Zhi knew that his death was justified.

It was as if this death had allowed him to cut off the past.

Cut off the connection with ancient history.

No wonder, when Huang, Ye and Chu returned from extinction, they gave people such a different feeling.

It seems as if it is truly not restricted by ancient history.

It is not only the sublimation of Taoism, but also the change of destiny.

That ancient history can no longer contain more of their wonderful stories.

Now, Li Zhi also had this feeling, which was a feeling he had never had before when he cultivated the only Tao Fruit.

Unfortunately, even after surpassing this ancient history, he still could not feel his own luck rising.

It seemed that the destined fifteen days of life were still passing by as planned.

Now there are less than ten days left.

However, the ancient history he was in had evolved over countless years.

It also made Li Zhi understand that the fifteen-day lifespan was not the time in ancient history, but the time outside the dimension.

It is said that one day in heaven is one year on earth.

The concept of time in heaven and on earth is different.

Then there is nothing strange about the different concepts of time in ancient history and outside the dimensional world.

On the contrary, Li Zhi felt strange as to why it was the fifteenth.

Does the number fifteen have any special meaning?
Or is there some unknown secret behind this?
A painting of the universe throughout eternity.

Perhaps the wisdom in the two-dimensional world cannot truly understand the wisdom in the three-dimensional world.

Li Zhi shifted his attention to the world in front of him.

Although all the heavens and the world are still shrouded in darkness.

However, the appearance of the huge rift in the void has brought many more external influences to this world.

It’s just like the mortal world back then, because it can connect with the fairyland once every million years.

Let those supreme human beings see the hope of becoming immortals.

That’s why the life forbidden zone exists.

Now, there are also life restricted areas in this world.

And they are three extremely terrifying life forbidden zones.

They are located in the area where the huge void rift exists.

Apart from this, no one anywhere can achieve immortality.

Even an immortal king who possesses the fruit of immortality will encounter a terrifying heavenly calamity that will destroy the source of his life.

Even the Immortal Emperors cannot keep their life essence from slipping away.

Even within the three restricted areas, the speed of the flow was only slowed down.

With just one glance, Li Zhi understood the cause and effect.

The young Immortal Emperor, he was right about the other party.

His principle of fairness would affect even the founder of the Dao of Sacrifice.

All things have a beginning and an end. If there is a beginning but no end, and one goes against the Way, Heaven will abandon him.

Sensing the information of several additional avenues within the Black Barrier Heavenly Dao, Li Zhi realized that it was Emperor Huang Tian and others who took action.

And also learned about the battle between the three Heavenly Emperors.

However, speaking of fighting, Li Zhi was not convinced about being killed by Emperor Huang Tian with the Seven Devil Swords.

Moreover, in his opinion, if he wanted to restore his luck, he had to defeat the three Heavenly Emperors.

Watching the fight between the three Heavenly Emperors, it is still going on.

Whoever can break the influence of the Avenue of Fairness on all spirits and ultimately overwhelm the other two will be the final winner.

But it is not easy for them to determine the winner.

For example, in order to deal with the ancestors of the plateau, it took them several epochs to end the situation where the strange clan ruled the heavens.

Now, if they want to determine the winner, they may have to consider it by era.

Seeing that the world is still in the middle of the era.

Li Zhi immediately began to chant, and soon, the true spirit of the young Immortal Emperor was reflected by him.

The young Immortal Emperor who had just been resurrected was still very weak.

However, with his ability in worshipping the founder of Taoism, it wouldn't take long for him to be completely resurrected.

"Go ahead, Emperor. Go and realize your ultimate dream."

The young Immortal Emperor’s former name is no longer important. Now after his resurrection, he is the Emperor.

The true emperor.

An emperor who can protect all living things in heaven and earth.

There is a reason why those who live forever are thieves.

Whenever an immortal being appears in a world, that world will eventually enter the Dharma Ending Age, or even death. This is an unavoidable fate.

Because every immortal has stolen a large amount of the creation of heaven and earth. As long as they are not dead, the origin of heaven and earth will gradually decay.

If they leave the world that gave them life and raised them, it would cause even greater harm to the world.

If the Dharma Ending Age occurs periodically and all the immortals in the world are killed, then the time it takes for the world to die will be extended.

Only the Tao that transcends the world can give back to the world.

However, this will create another paradox: native creatures cannot transcend the world.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for the heaven, earth and all living things that there are no immortals.

Although it is impossible to achieve immortality, one can practice Taoism.

Then, within their limited lifespan, the cultivators would continue to engage in mad internal development, constantly improving their cultivation, hoping to transcend the world and transcend life and death.

In this way, the general method of raising Gu may be able to raise a true transcendent path. Wasn't it the same in the human world back then?

Any existence that transcends the Great Emperor, in theory, has a path of transcendence.

The so-called becoming an immortal in the mortal world is nothing more than obtaining immortality that mortals cannot obtain.

Now, the upper limit of becoming an immortal in the mortal world has been raised from being on par with the quasi-immortal king to surpassing the ancestor of the Dao of Sacrifice.

Isn’t this also another way to encourage all living beings to become immortals in this world?

It’s just that the monks are more powerful than before.

There is no difference in essence.

Li Zhi, who has seen the truth of the world, has a new understanding of the battle between the three Heavenly Emperors.

The problems that he can see can naturally be seen by Emperor Huang Tian and others as well.

Therefore, the former plateau cemetery has become a forbidden zone for life today.

The inheritance of the forbidden zone of life is to achieve transcendence.

Just like the major life forbidden zones in the past, everyone is researching ways to achieve immortality, and each has its own secret method.

Today is no exception.

The key to victory or defeat may lie in whether a mortal immortal can be born in that restricted area.

Unfortunately, Li Zhi has returned.

The young Immortal Emperor has also returned.

It remains to be seen whether the three forbidden zones of life can gather the wisdom of all heavens and research the true method of immortality.

The ability of the Emperor is beyond doubt.

The emperor's talent is even more unattainable.

Li Zhi was shocked by the emperor's tenacity.

Even when his vitality was absorbed, causing him to lose the chance to become a being above the sacrificial path, he did not get angry.

Instead, he said to Li Zhi in an extremely calm manner that the cause and effect between them had been cleared up.

Previously, he followed the evolutionary path guided and planned by Li Zhi, but now, he has to follow his own evolutionary path.

Fair, still fair.

The great way is for all, and this is the real sword hanging over the heads of all living beings.

Any creature that wants to transform into darkness should think carefully about whether they can withstand the killing blow of the Avenue of Fairness.

The so-called darkness is nothing more than something that cannot be known to outsiders.

Once it becomes known, no darkness can last long.

This is why light always triumphs over darkness.

Li Zhi's thoughts unconsciously brought him back to the perspective of being a mortal in his previous life.

I have seen such exciting and exciting scenes before, but I don’t know how many ordinary people have become stepping stones for them.

I was too young back then and didn’t know that light and darkness are always two sides of the same coin.

The brighter the light, the more extreme the darkness.

When he stands at a dimension higher than the light and is no longer affected by the light, he will discover how many innocent lives are lying at the feet of those geniuses who radiate the sacred light.

Perhaps, the arrival of the Emperor can add some color to this world that is already dying or is heading towards its end.

But Li Zhi himself left the world shrouded in darkness.

Perhaps the unintentional actions back then had already determined the fate of those worlds.

As the light gradually fades, darkness will eventually swallow everything.

The world was like this in the past, and so is this ancient history.

Even the mortal world in the previous life was like this.

Black holes are the key to maintaining the normal operation of major galaxies in the universe.

For example, it is because of the supermassive central black hole in the Milky Way that we have the beautiful cantilever structure of the Milky Way.

Li Zhi's figure slowly disappeared.

In the outside world, the three Heavenly Emperors also saw the changes in the black barrier area.

The world, which was originally filled with an air of decadence, seemed to be injected with a touch of vitality.

However, they did not find the source of this change.

He also didn't know that Li Zhi had already returned from the place that was suspected to be the tomb of the gods.

Leaving the dark land, Li Zhi came to the earth.

There, he called Li Xian'er and Li Jizu to his side.

Even Zhou Mei was reflected.

"Dad, are you leaving?" Li Xianer suddenly asked at the dining table of the family of four.

Li Jizu also put down his bowl and chopsticks and stared at Li Zhi.

Only Zhou Mei was still eating as usual, as if whether Li Zhi left or not had no effect on her.

"This is the last meal for our family. From now on, just treat me as dead." Li Zhi said calmly.

In fact, when he insisted on leaving the earth, he was already dead in the eyes of his family.

It’s just that for many years, the family didn’t express it.

"I know you don't belong to us. You didn't belong to us in the past, you don't belong to us now, and you won't belong to us in the future. Go away."

Just when Li Xian'er and Li Jizu wanted to say something else, Zhou Mei suddenly spoke.

The tone was so calm, as if he was talking about something he didn't want to do.

"Perhaps, our absurd behavior back then was a mistake." Li Zhi also spoke up.

He had wondered countless times whether he would have had a different fate if he had left the earth alone and without any worries.

Can I enjoy the glory of the Emperor of Heaven?

But the past cannot be brought back. Even if you have the ability to travel up and down the long river of time and the ability to change a person's destiny at will, what happened to you has happened, and this is a memory that can never be erased.

Emperor Huang Tian can use it to condense the Seal of Reincarnation, and Li Zhi can also use it to turn it into a scroll to seal it forever.

"Whether it's right or wrong, does it really matter? We're all going to die anyway, so just put it all to rest." Zhou Mei said.

"Dad, haven't you solved your problem yet?" Li Xian'er asked worriedly. I thought that after so many years, Li Zhi should be fine.

"How do you know?" Li Zhi asked Zhou Mei.

"I saw it. The moment you reflected me, I saw a pair of hands typing on the keyboard, but they were not prolonging your life." Zhou Mei said lightly.

"Who is he and whose life is he extending?" Li Zhi said excitedly.

The question that had troubled him for countless years actually had the opportunity to get the answer from Zhou Mei, and he couldn't help but be excited.

"That person's life doesn't need to be extended yet. He was just born, but I see that he has a more colorful life than yours." There seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in Zhou Mei's eyes.

It seemed as if she was mocking Li Zhi for having worked hard for many years, but in the end he was just like her, abandoned without any regard for their old friendship.

"Tell me, who is he?" A strong murderous intent seemed to emerge in Li Zhi's eyes.

It was as if he was full of hostility towards the existence that had robbed him of his luck.

His life should not be like this, it should have been a triumphant progress, and its brilliance should have far exceeded that of the three Heavenly Emperors.

But the reality is that it started high and ended low, and it dragged him all the way to the bottom.

In order to survive, he had to bow to the three Heavenly Emperors.

"If I tell you, you can win?" Zhou Mei said lightly.

"Yeah, can we win if we know that? Even if we transfer his fate to mine, can we reverse his fate?" Li Zhi seemed like a deflated ball, and instantly lost all his spirit.

Li Xian'er and Li Jizu were baffled by this scene.

"You never understand what true love is. When your desire disappears, everything is just a tool in your eyes. I hope you take care of yourself."

Zhou Mei put down her bowl and chopsticks, and then, just like she did back then, she walked with a swaying step, exuding the charm of a mature woman, and disappeared from Li Zhi's sight.

However, Li Zhi would have felt impulsive about this back then, but now Li Zhi is filled with infinite fear.

He was scared, really scared.

The false image that he had maintained all along was actually punctured by Zhou Mei, a woman who had never set foot on the road of evolution.

"Your mother is right. Everything is fake, everything is emotionless, and I deserve everything."

Seeing his two children staring at him, Li Zhi said these words calmly.

After saying this, his figure disappeared from the two of them.

No matter how hard they searched, they could not find Li Zhi's whereabouts.
