I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 233 You Come to Be the Supreme

(Two chapters, 11,600)

"I was looking for you, and here you are."

In Yuxu Palace, the middle-aged Taoist priest spoke, and Zhou Mu immediately bowed:

"It's something important."

"I have something to ask you, too." The Taoist looked a little gloomy, which did not look good. This was the first time Zhou Mu saw Senior Yuanshi look so solemn.

In the past, He was always calm and composed.

"Excuse me, senior." Zhou Mu pursed his lips.

The middle-aged Taoist priest was surrounded by darkness, as if he were a universe floating in layers. Behind him, seventy-two colors of light intertwined to form a rosy cloud.

It is clearly sitting right in front of you, but it gives you the feeling that it is at an infinitely high place, overlooking, witnessing, and gazing at everything.

He said:

"You should know that after the Three Pure Ones were divided and many fellow Taoists were suppressed one by one, they became just a thin "historical imprint" in the history of the years. They have no wisdom, no will, and are simply maintaining the course of history."

Zhou Mu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood this.

Yuanshi Taoist continued:
"And now, of all the years that have passed"

"The marks of the Supreme are all dimming."

Zhou Mu's pupils shrank:
"Senior Yuanshi, what does this mean?"

“Literally.”

The middle-aged Taoist raised his eyelids. There were no pupils in his eyes, but densely packed star lines, countless and innumerable, each of which was the cause and result of something as big as this.

He continued:

"The marks of the Supreme that maintain the course of history have all begun to dim. There are only two possibilities: either the Supreme is becoming extinct and will cease to exist completely, or He has encountered a great enemy and is in a very embarrassing situation."

"In fact, we have no choice but to try to collect all the marks used to maintain the historical process, gather them together, and use them to fight the enemy!"

As he spoke, an incredible look flashed across the middle-aged Taoist's face:

"From ancient times to the present time when you are here, in the past three epochs, no Supreme Being has ever done this, because it means going to a desperate situation and risking everything!"

Zhou Mu was shocked. He thought of the drastic changes in the Tushita Palace and quickly narrated what he had seen and heard.

"The last time I went to Tushita Palace, I couldn't push the door open. I only heard the clanging of weapons and saw the light of fire coming through the crack in the door, illuminating the entire ruins of the Heavenly Palace like a red jade!"

"I heard the Grand Master say that some 'Daoists' are restless and causing trouble, so it is not appropriate to see guests."

Taoist Yuanshi frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled:
"Those Taoist friends who were suppressed by the Supreme are going to join forces to break the seal and overturn the Eight Trigrams Furnace? But this doesn't make sense."

The Taoist pursed his lips:

"The Supreme One is the present, the basis for the existence of all things, the pillar and the cornerstone. No one can defeat Him in the present. Even if those Taoist friends risked their lives, there is no reason for them to force Him into this state."

Zhou Mu pondered for a moment, and recounted what he had seen and heard earlier:
"The Great Senior once told me that He has broken through [Wuwei], and the Great Being is now... falling!"

"Break the Wuwei?"

The Taoist's expression changed rarely, and he suddenly realized:
"So that's how it is. So that's how it is. But this inaction is the principle that He follows. It is also the foundation for the existence of all things, time, and the universe. How could He take the initiative to break it?"

As he talked to himself, the middle-aged Taoist's eyes shone, and Zhou Mu saw an infinite world as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges, floating, reflecting, and manifesting in his eyes.

for a long time.

"I can't see clearly, I don't understand, what exactly is Tai Shang doing?"

The middle-aged Taoist said to himself worriedly that something had happened to Taiqing, an unexpected change had occurred, and Taiqing might have come to the end.

"It's not just me."

Yuanshi Taoist sighed:

"I'm afraid many fellow Taoists will also begin to notice the changes in the Supreme. After all, all the marks are dimming. Once they disappear completely, history will collapse. The Supreme is unwise."

He believed that even if Tai Shang really encountered a disaster, he should not retract the Infinite Mark, which was equivalent to announcing his own problems to all the Supreme Beings.

"Zhou Mu." The Taoist looked up.

Zhou Mu's heart sank, and he immediately bowed:

"Please give me your instructions, senior."

"Come with me and see." Taoist Yuanshi pointed with his hand.

The next moment, Zhou Mu saw everything around him change. Above his head was a vast chaos. He and the middle-aged Taoist were sitting on a long river that could not be described in words!

The long river is clearly in the chaos, but it also encompasses the great chaos, running through everything, boundless, and its width is beyond imagination!
"This is..." Zhou Mu swallowed.

"Time, the time of the great heaven and earth and the myriad worlds, is not the long river of time reflected by Daluo. This is the real [Great Time]."

"Then the stretch of river before you is the Great Years of this era."

The Taoist said so, and Zhou Mu nodded blankly, staring at [The Great Years], staring at the endless river.

The river is rushing, and every drop of its water is made up of infinite causes and effects, infinite events, and infinite lives.
From time to time, you can see creatures poking their heads out of the river, including a few familiar figures.

Zhou Mu saw the head of Wu Hou in the middle of the river, and saw the head of Zhou Gongdan poking out near the upstream.

He understood that this was them in history, using the great secret method to predict the past and the future, which was reflected in the great years, like a tiny peeking out from the river, giving a stunning glimpse.

Subconsciously, Zhou Mu looked towards the end of the long river. The water at the end was rushing forward all the time.

And the final wave is probably [now].

What surprised him was that Zhou Mu saw that at the very end of the river, there was a green lamp, which was extremely dazzling and bright. Behind the green lamp sat a living being, which was very blurry and dim - that was himself.

Taoist Yuanshi noticed Zhou Mu's gaze and said calmly:

"Before I took control of the end, I could not interfere with the present that the end symbolized, but the world could not be without the [cause of all results], so the green lamp temporarily replaced my power."

He paused, pointed at the green lamp illuminating the end of the river, and the illusory figure behind the lamp, and continued:

"In the beginning, there was only a green lantern on the river. When you held the lantern, a human figure emerged. So everyone in the world knew that the green lantern had an owner."

Zhou Mu suddenly realized and continued to stare at the end of the infinite river. If he looked carefully, he could see a very conspicuous huge body among the waves.

There are two Buddhas, the black bird, the Southern Emperor, and the Diting.
They were all gathered in one wave, and there were even more majestic figures in the other waves.

"The left side of the river is the [Heaven] in the universe, the middle side is the [Mortal World], the right side is the [Netherworld], and the rest of the corners are the myriad worlds outside the universe."

The Taoist said softly:
"Beyond the two sides of the river, not in the waves, is [outside the myriad worlds], [in the void of chaos]. Look carefully at the end."

Zhou Mu followed the Taoist's words and looked beyond the edges of the river channel at the end. He saw huge figures, transcending the river, sitting cross-legged and watching quietly.

"Those are the Daluo and above Daluo who are not in the great world [now]?" Zhou Mu asked.

"That's right." Yuanshi Taoist nodded meaningfully: "You are looking at them."

“They are also looking at you.”

Zhou Mu blinked, somewhat confused, not understanding what was going on. He only heard the Taoist smiling:
"So, sit up straight, curl up next to me, shoulder to shoulder with me."

Zhou Mu didn't quite understand, but he did as he was told and looked towards the end of the river, this time looking very carefully.

He saw the chaos outside the river. There were more than ten huge figures, and there were more hidden in the chaos.
He looked toward the river again, at the waves in the middle that belonged to the mortal world. There were too many scenes and too many creatures. He could not see clearly now and could not bear this amount of information.

But in a trance, it was as if a blessing came to my mind, and I saw a very clear scene in the waves.

It was a forest, a fairy and a young man were lying unconscious on the ground, and a fat boy was poking the young man with a stick. Finally, he took out a piece of sackcloth from somewhere and covered the young man's head with it.

Then the little fat boy grabbed the big wooden stick and hit the young man covered in sackcloth on the head again.

Zhou Mu's mouth twitched, and he was so angry that his teeth ached. The middle-aged Taoist beside him smiled and said:
"It was the flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple, so why was it beaten up by the Golden Horn?"

Zhou Mu was speechless. Golden Horn?
He remembered it firmly in his mind, shook his head, and asked:
"Senior Yuanshi brought me here to overlook the Great Years. I wonder why..."

"Now, look back, look below you, and see the past."

Hearing this, Zhou Mu looked down and took a breath.

Wherever you look, the river section that represents the past of this epoch is... collapsing!
There is a tendency to twist and collapse, and a major reversal may occur at any time.

Yuanshi Taoist said calmly:
"The Supreme is removing the brand. In a few moments, the Supreme brand has disappeared."

"When every moment in history is without Tai Shang, it will collapse and turn into another timeline, and even the [present] will have to be replaced.
Because history has been crumbling since the beginning of the era, and because the weight of the Supreme is too heavy and involves a wide range of things, the magnitude of the changes in time is too great, and countless lives will be annihilated. "

Zhou Mu's breathing became rapid.

The Taoist smiled again:

"The reason why the past years have changed but not changed, and have gone bad but not gone bad, is because you are still here, in addition to the Supreme Brand not dissipating."

"Me?" Zhou Mu pointed at himself, as if thinking of something: "Could it be because of me?"

"Of course."

The middle-aged Taoist said calmly:
"You have inherited Laozi's position and are closely related to Taishang. You are a historical anchor point, so you have to shoulder the burden."

Zhou Mu's eyes widened in disbelief:
"Senior Yuanshi, are you joking? I am so far behind now..."

"What are you thinking about?" The Taoist scolded with a smile: "You are not even a Daluo, how can you replace the infinite supreme brand at all times?"

After a pause, He continued:

"If the mark that disappeared was that of an ordinary Daluo or a great supernatural being, I could replace it with a thought, but the one that disappeared was the Supreme, the Supreme Being."

Taoist Yuanshi looked solemn:

"You have the identity of "Laozi" and are directly related to those brands. You need to find a trustworthy Daluo and grant him the power temporarily to take over the job of branding and maintain the operation of history."

"Can Daluo be trusted?" Zhou Mu was at a loss.

………………

"After this blow, he was completely knocked unconscious. He won't be able to wake up in a short time. His recent memory will be confused and he won't be able to remember who hit him with the club!"

In the forest, the little fat boy spoke confidently:
"Also, what to do with this old woman?"

The man in green shirt frowned, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Take her away. This woman is a big problem. She is here and protected by the Zhuxian Sword Formation. Maybe she knows the whereabouts of Monkey King."

After a pause, he looked at the unconscious 'Yang Jian' wearing a linen hood and continued:
"As for Yang Erlang's reincarnation, we dare not touch it. We can only find another way to find out where your main soul is."

As he spoke, the man in blue sighed, feeling that he had gotten into a big trouble and had a bad premonition in his heart.

"If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have done that, huh?"

The man's voice suddenly paused.

"Brother Niu, what's wrong?" asked the little fat boy puzzledly.

The man in green shirt said nothing, but looked around with a serious expression:

"Some living being is watching me, watching us. Who is it?"

He swept his mind and looked into every corner of the thirty-mile forest, but found nothing. The man in green shirt looked even more solemn. The feeling of being watched was still there, so strong that it made him feel uneasy!

"who is it?!"

The man in green robes roared loudly, and his voice shook the forest for thirty miles, but did not spread out. He then used his magic power, and it seemed that the universe was floating around him. His eyes were wide open, and he saw everything!
The chubby boy and the dull boy looked at the scene in confusion, neither of them realizing anything.

"found it!"

The man in green scolded in a low voice, and following the faint perception, he looked up at the sky. His eyes were like two big golden lamps, and the rays of light flowed out of his eyes and covered the mountains and forests!
He saw through the nothingness, followed his induction, and glimpsed a vast river. He knew that this was the long river of time, and was wondering,

Then he looked at two figures sitting upright on the long river, seeming to suppress everything! !

A familiar, dark and gloomy path, located at an infinite height, is the headmaster of Yuxu Palace, and the one staring at this place,
But it was the person who stood shoulder to shoulder with the Grand Master of Yuxu Palace, very vague, very illusory, and weighed down the great years! !
The man in green shuddered violently and prostrated himself until the feeling of being stared at disappeared.

for a long time.

"Brother Niu?" The little fat boy asked cautiously.

"Something happened. A big change." The man in green shirt crawled on the ground, not daring to stand up, and said in a low voice:

"I saw an unknown creature sitting beside the Great Master Yuanshi, overlooking the great years. It was so powerful that it was unimaginable. It just cast its eyes over me."

"I'm afraid we've gotten into big trouble!"

The man in green shirt panted, glanced sideways at the young man in sackcloth, shuddered, picked up the fairy, jumped up, turned around and ran away.

"Crap!"

The chubby boy and the dull boy were startled and hurried to catch up.

The three of them were in a panic and didn't bother to hide their movements. They rushed out of the forest and turned into light and disappeared.

Drenched in cold sweat.

………………

"who is it??"

At the same time, inside and outside the great universe, one invincible creature after another in the [present years] opened their eyes and stared at the great years in horror.

They all saw the two figures, one dark and shadowy, the other indistinct.
The first one is Yuanshi, who is the second one?
Who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Yuanshi?

All the great masters and those with great supernatural powers felt something and were horrified, realizing that they had just been glanced at by an unknown and terrifying existence!

The two figures above the big years faded away.

"It's going to change."

In the Southern Dynasty Palace, the Southern Emperor muttered to himself:
"An unknown person, who cannot be seen clearly, stands shoulder to shoulder with the person from Yuxu Palace, calmly standing at an infinitely high place in the great time, gazing at the present moment."

He exhaled:
"Does it mean that this era is coming to an end and a new era is about to begin? That person whose figure cannot be seen clearly is about to arrive and is scanning ahead of time?"

The old monkey at the side didn't understand what was going on. He was just a [True King] and couldn't sense the gaze from above the years, let alone see the two terrifying figures that flashed by.
At least one has to be close to the Daluo level, and begin to come into contact with the top sacredness of the mysteries of time and years, to be able to perceive it.

The Pig-Headed Buddha listened quietly to the Southern Emperor's description and said in a low voice:
"This scene probably shocked many people. All the Daluo living in the world will see the fleeting figure that Your Majesty mentioned."

"As Your Majesty said, this may be a sign, a sign that an era is ending and a new era is opening up, a sign that a truly powerful person is about to descend!"

While narrating, the Pig-Headed Buddha exhaled and lowered his eyes:
"This means that there is not much time left for us and the five forces. Everyone wants to get a piece of the pie and grab enough benefits before the truly powerful ones come."

The Southern Emperor nodded slightly and said calmly:

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Northern Dynasty, Foshan, and the Netherworld will soon make some moves. Perhaps there will be another war between us and the Northern Dynasty. How is the situation in the Five Kings City?"

The Pig-Headed Buddha replied calmly:

"It's still the same. The undercurrent is surging. The True King of the Human Race not only passed the news of the opening of Kunlun Ruins to me, but also to the other four demon kings and ghost kings."

As he spoke, he seemed to realize something and said thoughtfully:

"A mysterious being stood on the great years, looking at the present without restraint and without concealment, as if announcing that it was about to come.
All parties will begin to scramble for territory in the final period of time, trying to determine who is superior and seize the destiny of heaven and earth. And it just so happens that Kunlun Ruins is about to appear in the world. Will it become the 'main battlefield'?"

The Southern Emperor nodded:

"Most likely, when Kunlun Ruins opens, there will be a large number of True Kings. By then, the other four directions will also send their sacred forces."

As he spoke, he seemed to be aware of something, and together with the Pig-headed Buddha and the old monkey, they all glanced sideways, looking through the window at the mountain forest in the city in the distance.

Three beams of light could be seen rushing out of the forest and disappearing in an instant.

Nan Huang, Buddha, and the old monkey were stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted!

"wrong!"

The Pig-Headed Buddha's face changed. He grabbed the old monkey, walked out of the palace, and suddenly came to the forest. After a moment, angry roars came from the forest!
"who is it!"

The roar resounded throughout the imperial capital. The Southern Emperor stood in the main hall, looking at the Pig-Headed Buddha tearing the mountains and forests apart in anger. He listened to the roar that shook his ears with a dim look in his eyes.

A golden light flashed in his eyes, as if it could break all illusions and see all truths.

"Good cow."

………………

The scene before his eyes changed, the Great Years disappeared, and it turned into the Yuxu Palace again.

"This is what I am talking about." The middle-aged Taoist spoke softly. His expression seemed calm, but there seemed to be hidden worry.

He was worried about the condition of the Supreme Being.

Zhou Mu nodded silently, digesting what the Taoist had just said.

He had to find a trustworthy Daluo and establish a causal connection with him. Only in this way could that Daluo temporarily replace him and become the 'Taishang' of all times in the past years, so as to maintain the historical process and ensure that the past years would not collapse or undergo major changes.

And wait until you achieve Daluo, and then the other party will return the former Supreme position to you. Because of this, you must choose a Daluo you can trust.

After all, the position of the Supreme, even if it was only the position of the Supreme in the past.

Zhou Mu's mind was full of twists and turns. He couldn't think of any close Daluo. At most, he was just a sister.
But my sister's current situation
he asked:
"If I choose Sister, what should I do?"

The middle-aged Taoist raised his head and spoke calmly:
"We found her, met her, helped her out of trouble in a short period of time, and brought about this period of time."

Zhou Mu smiled bitterly:

"What is the shortest period of time?"

He is already thinking about other candidates, because now he wants to rescue his sister?
Uh, almost impossible.

At least he must be certified as a great power or even a true king.

Yuanshi Taoist sighed:

"The mark of the Supreme is fading and dissipating. Once it is all gone, the Great Age will be destroyed."

“Therefore, the time left for you is only”

"a hundred years."

A question mark appeared on Zhou Mu’s forehead.

"what?"

"a hundred years?"

“Yes.” The middle-aged Taoist nodded slightly: “A hundred years in real life is so short. If the end of the long river advances another hundred years, the Supreme Seal will probably be completely dissipated, and the past history will be greatly changed.”

Zhou Mu regained his confidence.

"If it's a hundred years, I might be able to try to rescue my sister. It shouldn't be difficult, right?"

He muttered to himself, breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled bitterly. This so-called very short and very urgent deadline turned out to be a hundred years.
Yes, in the eyes of Senior Yuanshi, hundreds of years, thousands of years, and tens of thousands of years are probably just a blink of an eye, extremely insignificant.

"That's enough." The middle-aged Taoist said calmly, "What do you want to narrate?"

Zhou Mu came back to his senses, his expression condensed, he took out the plaque wrapped around the carpet, untied it, and the "memory fragment" containing a lot of taboos fell down,
He described the whole thing in detail, including the strange behavior of the Southern Emperor and the fairy woman.

The middle-aged Taoist said nothing, staring at the fragment of memory with a frown on his face.

for a long time.

“I can’t even look into it.”

Yuanshi Taoist shook his head:

"My [weight] is too heavy. Once I use this memory fragment to spy on the conversations of those Taoist friends from the perspective of Sun Wukong, I will be discovered and noticed immediately."

After a pause, He continued:

"On the contrary, you are weak enough and will not attract any attention. After all, those fellow Taoists are suppressed in the Eight Diagrams Furnace of the Supreme—at least for now."

Zhou Mu's expression froze, and he pointed at himself:
"Ah I?"

He thought of Dapeng's miserable condition.

"Why, you're not ready yet?" Taoist Yuanshi laughed, "It doesn't matter whether you watch or not. Whatever those Taoist friends are planning, it has nothing to do with me."

Zhou Mu was a little confused:

"Does it matter to me?"

"Maybe big, maybe not, who knows?" Yuanshi Taoist said: "As for the female fairy you mentioned..."

He pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully:

"I looked with you just now, and saw the Blue Ox and the Golden Horn and Silver Horn, and saw you who was unconscious, but I did not see the so-called female fairy."

Zhou Mu was startled, his scalp tingling:
"what do you mean?"

"That female fairy is probably an important chess piece of a fellow Taoist. She has arranged some tricks so that the other supreme beings cannot see through her."

Yuanshi Taoist said peacefully:
"I, Taishang, Lingbao, did the same thing to you, but it was not so direct. I just made it impossible for you fellow Taoists to see your true self and essence."

"Therefore, if you observe the memory of Sun Wukong, you will not be able to detect it. Even if you become a true immortal and your inner world becomes real..."

The Taoist looked at Zhou Mu and smiled:
"I can give you the [Daluo Characteristics] in advance, which will allow you to move and travel independently in this part of Sun Wukong's memory and in the past memories of all living beings."

"Daluo characteristics." Zhou Mu murmured and swallowed his saliva:
"You mean, even without your guidance, I can directly enter the past through the past memories of any living being?"

"Of course."

Yuanshi Taoist nodded:

"Although your body is already that of a celestial being, to become a true celestial being, you still need both your magic power and virtue to reach the level of a celestial being. Your magic power must be condensed by your real body, but what about virtue?"

After a pause, he smiled and said:
"I can help you."

Zhou Mu was cheered up:
"Please help me, senior!"

Yuanshi smiled:

"The one with the greatest virtue is the Supreme."

"Then you can be the Tai Shang for a day."

Zhou Mu: ???
