Chapter 288 Grafting of Fate
The branches of the Tree of All Heavens returned to Fang Xun's hands, no longer bound, and had been restored to their original state.

It was a divine tree that pierced through the chaos, with lush green leaves, unlike a branch that had been broken for countless years, yet it was still continuously absorbing the chaotic energy.

If left unattended, after several thousand years, another great world will likely be formed, and this world will be no less powerful than the ordinary worlds!

“This branch…” Ye Fan looked at the branch of the Tree of Heavenly Dao behind Fang Xun and sensed the Dao rhythm within it.

Countless rays of light flashed in his eyes. "That Tree of All Heavens has indeed reached an inconceivable realm, but unfortunately, its Dao is different from mine."

"Or rather, it only works on you."

Fang Xun allowed the branches of the Tree of Heavenly Dao to nurture the most basic laws of the world within this chaos, sensing the various differences between them and his own.

Finally, he reached out and pressed his hand on the branch.

hum!
An invisible force resonated between Fang Xun and the tree branch, with two similar Daoist principles colliding and merging.

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the branch suddenly trembled and turned into countless points of light, which then surged wildly toward Fang Xun's body.

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow as he watched this scene. This power was not extremely strong, at least it had not reached the realm of a Primordial Golden Immortal, but it was a power that truly belonged to all the heavens!

The power of the previous generation's myriad realms!

In that instant, Ye Fan could see countless world images, some powerful and some weak, flash by within those points of light, all flowing into Fang Xun's body.

"This..." Fang Xun suddenly felt suffocated.

There was simply too much power from all the heavens!
His accumulation of the paths of the myriad heavens began to climb, gradually reaching the pinnacle of his current realm!

"You can do that?" Ye Fan asked in astonishment.

Fang Xun's current realm is similar to that of Hong Yi, who laid the foundation for the future abdication of the human race, and Jiang Nan, who came to the prehistoric world and witnessed the other primordial paths!
He's truly only a hair's breadth away from becoming a Great Sage!
“It’s a pity…” Fang Xun choked for a while before finally recovering. “But if the existence of the myriad heavens were the same as the non-existence of the myriad paths, I might not be without the possibility of breaking through to the Primordial Beginning Realm.”

"No, if I had already reached the Primordial Beginning Realm before, I could have even fought against the Grand Luo Golden Immortal and the Great Dao Saint this time!"

"What are you thinking about?" Ye Fan, standing to the side, was both amused and exasperated. "Your Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal also has Taichu and Taiyi."

The Five Primordial Elements are Taiji, Taisu, Taishi, Taichu, and Taiyi.

The Tai Chu realm is equivalent to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal or the Quasi-Saint Perfection realm. To advance to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, there is still the most difficult Tai Yi realm.

"Oh, right." Fang Xun finally came to his senses. The idea of ​​direct improvement without having to cultivate or search for the world was just too awesome, and he couldn't help but fantasize about it.

"You've saved yourself a lot of time, which is a good thing," Ye Fan said, looking at Fang Xun.

"I will continue to explore deeper and search for more worlds, and this branch may come once, and there may be two. When I find them, I will bring them back to you."

Ye Fan continued to gaze into the depths of chaos, even further away from the primordial world.

The vastness of this chaotic realm beyond the primordial wilderness is as immeasurable as the primordial origin of the Heavenly Dao.

It must have originally been the place that gave birth to Pangu and the Chaos God, but later it became the graveyard of the previous generation of heavens and myriad worlds, hiding countless secrets.

Ye Fan was very interested in this.

"You want to go further?" Fang Xun was slightly surprised, but also felt it was only natural. Ye Fan had already stayed in the Primordial Heavenly Court for many years, and it would be difficult for him to make any further progress.

It would be a good thing to continue searching for the remaining fragmented worlds of the other Chaos Gods in the depths of this chaos.

"Then I'll have to trouble you," Fang Xun said.

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Ye Fan waved his hand, and with a wave, the Kunpeng flew out, with Duan De and the Black Emperor on it.

"Let's go!" Ye Fan nodded slightly and directly rode the Kunpeng into the chaos.

Fang Xun didn't waste any time in the chaos and went straight back to the human race's treasure room.

"Has anything changed in the primordial world?" Fang Xun wondered, glancing over the current primordial world.

In just a moment, Fang Xun's gaze suddenly turned serious.

He took a deep breath and stepped directly to an ordinary river at the foot of Shouyang Mountain in the human race.

“Time flows on like this river, never ceasing day or night…” An old man with white hair and beard stood by the river and sighed softly.

"Greetings, Master." The old man suddenly paused, turned his head to look at Fang Xun, realized something, and quickly greeted him as a disciple.

"Confucius?" Fang Xun looked at the white-haired Confucius and called out softly.

"So, this is the name I have in this world too?" Confucius laughed.

"Why are you here?" Fang Xun asked.

"Teacher, I don't know either," Confucius shook his head slightly.

"However... this is my good fortune."

Fang Xun frowned, a thought flashing through his mind as he examined everything in the river of time.

However, at this moment, a tall man dressed in a scholar's robe also arrived.

The tall man and the white-haired old man exchanged a strange glance and were both speechless.

"I am Confucius. May I ask you, Your Excellency..." At this moment, the young man and the old man bowed at the same time and said this in almost the same tone.

For a moment, both of their bodies froze.

They were all Confucius.

"So that's how it is..." Fang Xun looked at the changes in the river of time and had a clear understanding of the situation of the two Confuciuses.

"The Dao Ancestor is truly shrewd and calculating!"

Fang Xun gave the elderly Confucius a complicated look.

There is no issue of this Confucius being fake; it's just that he doesn't belong to this primordial world, but rather comes from the primordial world of destiny that was just taken into the possession of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
"A graft of fate?" Fang Xun said slowly.

The fates of the two primordial worlds intersected to some extent, which must mean that the Dao Ancestor integrated the primordial world of destiny into the current primordial world.

Even the Destiny Demon God and Hongjun Daozu joined forces to graft the fates of these "otherworldly beings" into the present time.

This is absolutely impossible for those above the Great Luo level, since the Great Luo level itself is unique in its own spacetime. If such an "otherworldly person" appears, he will immediately be assimilated into a clone.

But it is precisely these who have not yet broken through to the level of the Great Luo and have not yet transcended.

Now, in the course of fate and the long river of time, there are two Confuciuses, who are similar to an alter ego and the original!
Even in terms of fate, the two are one!

This strange state was something Fang Xun couldn't quite understand; he had never seen such a degree of fate grafting before.

"The Fate Demon God really does possess some power!"

Fang Xun was also unable to deal with these otherworldly beings for the time being. Well, he had already tried to kill this white-haired Confucius.

In the instant he had that thought, he saw the figure of the Dao Ancestor in the river of time.

The old Taoist priest smiled and nodded at Fang Xun, but he wouldn't let him pass.

This is like the battle in which Daozu killed Rahu. Rahu's death was inevitable. Daozu did not acknowledge it, and no one could change this historical fact.

Now, the Dao Ancestor has placed the power that suppressed the history of Rahu's death into the present destiny. Fang Xun can kill this old Confucius, but perhaps in the next instant, another Confucius will reappear somewhere. He cannot be completely killed unless he kills them both and completely erases this thread of fate.

Trapping the aliens won't work either. As long as the Dao Ancestor has a single thought, the Confucius he suppressed will die, and a new Confucius will appear.

"Dividing the fortune of my Hundred Schools of Thought?" Fang Xun felt that all the fortune and principles he had prepared for the Hundred Schools of Thought seemed to be converging towards the Zixiao Palace.

From this moment forward, everything Confucius received will be divided into two parts, each belonging to one of the two Confuciuses.

The same applies to fortune.

“This is indeed a bit troublesome…” Fang Xun looked at the two Confuciuses, frowning as he thought of a solution.

Confucius is just one example; perhaps Mozi, Zhuangzi, Sun Tzu, and others also saw a version of themselves standing before them.

"And another thing is..." Fang Xun suddenly had a flash of inspiration, looking at the two Confuciuses, "Neither of them can advance to the Great Luo realm!"

The unique aspect of spacetime is what stops these people; forcibly breaking through will only result in their death and the dissipation of their souls!
This is going to completely disrupt the flourishing of the Hundred Schools of Thought!
After all, in this primordial world, without the cultivation of the Great Luo Dao Realm, no matter how eloquent your words are, they are nothing but dreams and illusions!
Fang Xun's thoughts shifted, and he asked the Sage Taiqing.

“I can’t stop it.” The Sage of Taiqing shook his head slightly. “The origin of the Heavenly Dao needs the origin of that world, and no one can stop it.”

Fang Xun nodded in understanding.

It was a complete, boundless world, and the destiny it wove was highly similar to that of the current primordial world. The origin of the Heavenly Dao could not and would not refuse the integration of this world.

The Dao of Heaven has no true will, but evolution is the fundamental logic that Pangu inscribed in the Dao of Heaven.

"Please teach me, Uncle-Master," Fang Xun asked.

"The key lies with you." The Sage of Taiqing shook his head directly.

It's not impossible; if we kill the Dao Ancestor, everything will be over.

Fang Xun thanked them, and then his consciousness returned to the two Confuciuses.

"Where do you come from, fellow Daoist?" Confucius's composure was such that he remained calm even if the sky were to fall. Both of them calmed down and began to communicate.

"The Zhou Dynasty, the State of Lu, Jambudvipa..." The voice of the elderly Confucius gradually faded.

Fang Xun could sense that the shared destiny of the two was beginning to manifest, and the old Confucius even exuded the same Taiyi Golden Immortal aura as the young Confucius.

He instantly realized what kind of world he was in.

How could such a world exist... Nuwa, Xuanhuang, abdication, the other shore, the human race, everyone is an immortal...

When the elderly Confucius thought about the difficulties he faced in founding Confucianism, he almost burst into tears. Compared to the world he lived in, this world could be described as a utopian world!

The young Confucius also learned about the life of the old Confucius.

"This... concerns a change in time and space, a change in destiny!" The young Confucius instantly realized the strangeness of the matter and looked at Fang Xun.

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty!"

At this moment, the elderly Confucius also turned around, bowed to Fang Xun, and said earnestly, "Please enlighten me, teacher."

He knew that Fang Xun was Li Er in this world, and in his world, he was taught and guided by Li Er, so he subconsciously addressed him as his teacher.

"The world is merging, and destinies are being intertwined." Fang Xun glanced at the West.

Both Confuciuses were exceptionally intelligent and thought of those celestial bodies in the West.

"Is that so?" Both Confuciuses were pondering the potential impact on the future.

"Will the world descend into chaos?" the elderly Confucius suddenly asked.

But he quickly dismissed his own conjecture, realizing that this world possessed supreme beings like the Great Luo and the Saints, and that these otherworldly beings were merely a minor issue.

“The Great Luo Dao Realm is unique in time and space.” The young Confucius quickly realized this.

"It's not possible to handle this at the moment," Fang Xun shook his head.

Both Confuciuses frowned, as if knowing what they were thinking. Fang Xun waved his hand, and a light screen appeared in front of them.

"Die!" A valiant man swung his sword down, intending to behead his other self.

However, the person opposite him had also attained the same level of cultivation and possessed exceptional combat awareness, thus dodging the sword strike.

Of course, suddenly gaining such power can also lead to misuse, and he was ultimately left with a bloody mark on his cheek by this sword.

Almost simultaneously, the same bloodstain appeared on the face of the swordsman.

“You are one in destiny, killing him is killing yourself.” This is the most difficult part of the whole thing.

"..." Both Confuciuses fell silent.

The young Confucius remained silent for a while, then bowed to Fang Xun and took his leave without glancing at the old Confucius again, and left directly.

The same applies to the elderly Confucius.

Fang Xun, on the other hand, decided to gather ideas from all sides.

He posted the entire incident in the chat group.

Fang Xun: "What are everyone's thoughts on this matter?"

Meng Qi: "This Dao Ancestor has already made headlines so quickly!"

Wang Chao: "This is indeed a bit tricky."

Qin Mu: "Hmm... In my opinion, it's not all bad."

The Celestial Shepherd is indeed insightful!

Qin Mu: "Do you know how much I wished I could split one person into two back in the Yankang Reform?"

Qin Mu: "This is double the wisdom, double the productivity!"

Fang Xun was also taken aback when he heard this. If two individuals with the same fate share almost everything, then their wisdom must also be equal.

But they are two different individuals.

If one party makes a mistake, the other party can correct it as quickly as possible and propose more comprehensive reasons and solutions.

Qin Mu: "Looking at the issue from a developmental perspective, this time the wisdom of the Hundred Schools of Thought might explode two or even more times."

Qin Mu: "The only problem now is actually just one thing, and that is the unique problem of spacetime in the Great Luo Dao Realm!"

Fang Xun's eyes lit up, and he vaguely had an idea.

He has experience in solving the problem of the uniqueness of spacetime!

In reality, there are two methods. One is to completely merge the two individuals into a single entity, which can even greatly enhance the individual itself.

Secondly, it would completely separate the two people's fates at some point in the future, so that they would never have anything to do with each other again.

Fang Xun already had experience with the second method, which was the Three Purities!
The Three Pure Ones faced the same problem back then, so they divided their Dao fruits and sent them into the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
