The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 247: Change of Era
If you can forget the attachment to love, your mind will be clear and your state of mind will reach the state of supreme oblivion.

Just like the surface of the water can clearly reflect everything in the world after it is calm, this kind of practice of forgetting emotions is to reach a true state of clarity.

Allow yourself to be closer to the Way of Heaven.

This is Meng Shenji's path, and at this time Meng Shenji is like the master of heaven, high above, in a mysterious state of being neither affectionate nor ruthless.

Forget emotions and be in harmony with the way of heaven.

But in Xiao Jun's view, there is nothing to gain. The mind itself is transformed by the truth, and the so-called human way is the way of heaven.

There is no such thing as affection or indifference. It is simply the natural transformation of the primordial energy. Everything is as it is.

Everything is natural and unpretentious!

Xiao Jun possessed a side similar to the Supreme Being's indifference to emotions. However, from the laws and principles of how Heaven governs Humanity and how Humanity governs Heaven, Xiao Jun realized the Way of Civilization.

This is the so-called way of civilization! Civilization is one aspect of the way of heaven. Civilization also embraces all emotions, as if there are no emotions at all!
Supreme Oblivion is a state, and Civilization is a path. Xiao Jun saw this path from the wonderful state of Supreme Oblivion, so he collected the essence of heaven and earth and created the Great True Qi of Civilization.

The great true qi of civilization is Xiao Jun's understanding of all the infinite knowledge and wisdom of civilization, all of which are transformed into hexagrams and refined into true qi in the qi machine.

The great true qi of civilization is in Xiao Jun's body and soul, constantly regulating Xiao Jun's soul and physical body. The physical body is constantly being polished and refined with the help of the great true qi of civilization, and the soul is also constantly comprehending various spirits and souls within the great true qi of civilization.

Xiao Jun walked out of Tai Shang Wang Qing and created his own path, but Xiao Jun also felt the aura displayed by Meng Shen Ji.

"Does Meng Shen Ji follow the Way of Heaven? He considers himself to be Heaven, ruling over humanity and evolving the universe..."

"Practicing the Way of Heaven?" Xiao Jun began to ponder in his mind. The so-called Way of Heaven is just the objective law of the world.

Everything is originally the way of heaven. Heaven and man are originally one and the same thing. Man's wisdom, thoughts, and so-called nature are all the operation of the way of heaven.

The so-called practice of the Way of Heaven is to constantly understand the Way of Heaven and then apply the Way of Heaven.

Meng Shenji still had this kind of artistic conception of "Since ancient times, the will of heaven is so great that no one should question it." Xiao Jun could clearly see this temperament, so Xiao Jun could judge that Meng Shenji's enlightenment of the way of heaven was not yet complete!
One's own nature is transformed by the laws of nature, and to operate one's nature is actually to operate the laws of nature.

The dominant, lofty, and vast artistic conception that Xiao Jun saw in Meng Shenji was the way of heaven in Meng Shenji's eyes, not the real way of heaven.

But during the battle, Xiao Jun's wisdom continued to learn, like a civilization exploring all aspects of things. Meng Shenji's understanding of the Way of Heaven was absorbed into Xiao Jun's mind. The operation of his nature stirred countless thoughts and principles.

The myriad weather conditions on the chessboard were endlessly confusing. Even Meng Shenji could control the weather conditions of the entire chessboard's vitality. Xiao Jun easily deciphered all the confusions one by one.

On the chessboard, Meng Shenji seemed to be a real consciousness of the way of heaven, and the chessboard seemed to be the real ninety-nine states, while Xiao Jun was simply operating his nature and comprehending nature.

Understanding nature, then transforming it, and then feeding it back into oneself—this is the path that Yuanyang Daozun once conceived.

Man is originally natural, and nature is originally man. To do nothing is to do everything. This is the path of enlightenment of the Supreme Daoist.

The inherent nature is complete, the true nature is self-nature. This is the path passed down by the Holy Emperor Yuan.

But all of this can be seen as the result of the development of civilization. The humanity constructed by countless lives is civilization, and the principles perceived by individual wise men are also civilization.

All these principles are the ways of civilization. Xiao Jun is also a civilization. He is currently understanding, analyzing, and applying Meng Shenji's path.

Xiao Jun gradually began to take control of the entire chessboard, and the advantages and disadvantages of the host and the guest began to shift between each other.

Xiao Jun efficiently accepted the principles of the Mengshen Machine, and then used them in turn to transform the Mengshen Machine.

If we say that at the beginning the Dream Machine was still strangling this variable, but gradually this variable called civilization was growing rapidly, and in turn used the Dream Machine's principles to transform them into its own principles and transformed them into its own weapons.

Meng Shenji's cultivation is obviously higher than Xiao Jun's. Xiao Jun's independent thinking efficiency is somewhat behind Meng Shenji, but Xiao Jun uses the data nebula to carry out this high-intensity thinking and discussion.

Thousands of changes in weather conditions can occur in a split second, enough to drive ordinary people to collapse from thinking about them.

At this moment, Meng Shenji could only watch the chessboard transformed by the weather of the Ninety-Nine Heavenly States. Xiao Jun's black pieces were constantly shifting and growing stronger. His own initiative was being exploited by Xiao Jun, and his own advantages were simultaneously transformed into disadvantages by Xiao Jun.

However, Xiao Jun turned passivity into initiative and disadvantage into advantage.

At first Xiao Jun was at a disadvantage, then the situation became even, and then Meng Shenji slowly fell into a disadvantage. At this time Meng Shenji's eyes flashed.

At this moment, he looked at Xiao Jun, who seemed to be an ordinary person, and seemed to have all the knowledge in the world. All the developments seemed to be ordinary events, but the occurrence of ordinary events one by one became a trend that changed the world.

The development of heaven and earth is a series of tiny events, each of which unfolds according to certain laws and sequences. All human activities also unfold within the order of heaven and earth. Countless sequences and factors converge to form a grand trend.

The general trend cannot be changed! Because the general trend is a qualitative change caused by the quantitative change of countless events!
You can change the characters on the stage of the general trend, postpone the general trend, and even reverse history for a while...but countless events and factors will accumulate forever and hard until the power of the general trend accumulates to the point where it can no longer be changed!
Meng Shen Ji seemed to have glimpsed a surging torrent, a torrent that had begun in the ancient past, washed over the present, and would continue to surge endlessly into the future. This was the torrent of the great trend of the world.

At this moment, Xiao Jun also sensed the surging torrent in his heart. The principles of various schools of thought flashed through his mind, as did the countless knowledge that Xiao Jun had comprehended in this world.

Hexagrams flashed in my mind, connecting all the knowledge, as if I had a glimpse of the future.

"The philosophers... in fact, their wisdom had already deduced the Dao of Changes. However, the era of the philosophers was still the era of the Holy Emperor, when the development of humanity was still in its infancy, and the Dao of Changes had not yet been verified."

"And now countless factors have begun to accumulate. The universe, the world beyond the heaven, the sage family... These factors have begun to undergo qualitative changes, and have also verified the correctness of the Yi Dao. Therefore, now is the time for the Yi Dao to be born!"

"Yi Dao, in fact, it doesn't matter who it is, it doesn't matter who the protagonist on the stage of the grand trend is, the grand trend has been accumulated, and Yi Dao will definitely appear!"

Xiao Jun's spirit flourished.

In Xiao Jun's mind, the changes of "Qian and Kun" flashed, and the so-called hexagram words such as hidden dragon, visible dragon, flying dragon... all appeared naturally in Xiao Jun's mind.

“Change… This is a qualitative change resulting from the accumulation of humanity.”

"The Book of Changes explains the changes between heaven and man through the eight images of heaven and earth: Qian, Kun, Zhen, Dui, Kan, Li, Xun, and Gen."

In its original trajectory, the "Book of Changes" begins with the "Qian" hexagram.

“In fact, the I Ching itself can be changed!”

"It doesn't even have to be the 'Qian' hexagram as the starting hexagram. It could also be 'Kun', 'Gen', 'Li'... and so on!"

A sudden realization dawned on Xiao Jun. Yi means change, and even the Book of Changes itself can be altered.

After reaching this level, Xiao Jun suddenly understood that Yi Dao's birth was already the trend of the era, which could not be changed. It could be postponed, or even the protagonist could be replaced, but the trend was rolling forward and could not be stopped.

Xiao Jun sensed the change of the era.

"If we divide it into eras, before Emperor Pan, the demons were rampant, so it can be called the God and Demon Era."

"Pan Huang opened up the path of humanity. Pan Huang abdicated, and a new era began. The Holy Emperor ruled the world. This period of time can be called the Holy Emperor Era."

"With the last Holy Emperor, hundreds of schools of thought emerged. As time progressed, the world began to be governed by the principles of the various schools of thought. This period should be called the Era of the Hundred Schools of Thought."

"And now, all the factors have been gathered, and Yi Dao will inevitably appear. The next era... that is the Yi Dao era!"

The Era of Gods and Demons, the Era of the Holy Emperor, the Era of the Philosophers, and the Era of Yi Dao are how Xiao Jun divided the eras!

"What happens after the Yidao era?" Xiao Jun fell into deep thought, silently calculating and deduceing various factors in his mind.

At this time, Meng Shenji saw that Xiao Jun fell into deep thought, and a wonderful spiritual will gushed out of him, and a powerful spiritual will seemed to emerge from his thoughts.

Meng Shenji's eyes flashed, he could see that Xiao Jun seemed to have fallen into some kind of enlightenment at this moment, and his powerful spiritual will became extremely strong, as if he could become the creator at any time, or even become a ghost immortal who could survive the eight levels of thunder tribulation!

But Xiao Jun seemed to have fallen into a strange epiphany at this moment, as if his spiritual will was about to undergo a new transformation, and the void around Meng Shenji began to distort.

Soon, Meng Shenji seemed to have thought of something, and the distortion of the void dissipated directly.

But at this moment, Meng Shenji said directly: "I admit defeat!"

After saying that, the chessboard around him shattered and dissipated into pure energy.

The so-called enlightenment often does not allow changes to the surrounding environment, because changes in the surrounding environment will often directly disrupt thoughts, interrupt inspiration for thinking, and end enlightenment.

Meng Shenji casually surrendered, which was extremely cool, but it also directly interrupted Xiao Jun's thinking.

Xiao Jun felt a blockage and discomfort in his heart. Meng Shenji immediately resigned and admitted defeat, interrupting his thoughts. Xiao Jun did not have any negative emotions and quickly returned to his original state of mind.

"Master, that's straightforward!" Xiao Jun laughed, without a trace of indignation. Xiao Jun knew that Meng Shenji had interrupted him on purpose, but Xiao Jun had discovered something.

Xiao Jun was deducing the era that occurred after the Yidao Era. Meng Shenji practiced the Heavenly Dao. Although he could not achieve enlightenment, he still had some spiritual responses from the Heavenly Dao. It was as if God's will was preventing Xiao Jun from deducing the existence after the Yidao Era.

But how could Xiao Jun's mind be changed so easily? The next moment after Meng Shenji interrupted Xiao Jun's comprehension, Xiao Jun had already deduced the future era after the Yidao era!
