"You, who should have been dying from illness, were able to survive only because you came to this world and were influenced by the laws of heaven and earth here. In your original world, your illness was not accepted by the laws of heaven and earth, so there was no cure and you were destined to die. However, the laws of this world are very different from the laws of your original world, so you were lucky to survive."
"I was aware of your presence from beginning to end, but I didn't exert any influence on you..."
Jiang Mo smiled gently, knowing the cause and effect, and added a sentence for Him:
"After all, you don't really think that a dying, insignificant being from beyond the heavens will one day become an unparalleled Dao Lord, come to shake your position, or even threaten your life, do you?"
"Yes," Tianyuan Divine Crystal acknowledged.
"What happened to that Tianxin Ancient Jade?"
Jiang Mo was immediately puzzled and asked in surprise, "You changed your mind later?"
"No, when I banished the three innate magical artifacts back then, some of my negative emotions were tainted by them. Even if it was just a tiny bit, after hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, it grew into something incredibly powerful, developed sentience, and became closely integrated with the innate magical artifacts, enabling it to use a portion of their power."
"Of course, if you think that what resides in the Heavenly Heart Jade is me, that's not wrong either. Although it is a part of me that split off, a new life that has existed independently over the years, it is still me."
"Not only it, but the Chaos Ancient Cauldron also had a similar dominant consciousness, and chose the Sun-Devouring Demon Emperor as a pawn. At that time, the Heavenly Heart Ancient Jade was in danger, so it set its sights on you, wanting you to become its wielder."
"......"
Jiang Mo recalled the past, and based on the clues provided by the Heavenly Abyss Divine Crystal, everything made sense.
Unfortunately, of the three innate magical artifacts, two were shattered by his own hands, and the other was incomplete, greatly reducing its power.
"To be frank, I've ruined the gem you've spent millions of dollars nurturing."
Jiang Mo sincerely apologized, but did not regret what he had done. For him, his own life was above all else. If life did not continue, all the people and things he wanted to protect would vanish into thin air.
"I don't blame you, you had no choice..."
Tianyuan's consciousness murmured something, but his true thoughts were unknown. Was he unwilling to blame anyone, or was he afraid to?
The next second, He quickly changed the subject and said:
"Now that you've destroyed a third of the history books, I no longer have the power to protect your safety... Are you at ease now?"
"My reincarnated body will remain here forever... I will not die, my will is eternal, my reincarnated body will constantly transform, be reborn, grow old, and be resurrected, taking my place to guard this place for generations."
Jiang Mo stared intently at the Heavenly Abyss Divine Crystal with a serious expression, and said clearly:
"As long as you do not manipulate the fate of all living beings or toy with the karma of all creatures, I promise that I will not allow any race on this planet, or the ancient humans and gods who have fled to space, to harm you in the slightest in the years to come. For this, I am willing to offer my life to defend your right to live..."
Jiang Mo placed his left hand lightly on his chest and solemnly made a promise.
“Pleasant words..…”
Tianyuan Shenjing smiled noncommittally, perhaps out of satisfaction, perhaps out of self-mockery.
“In the past, I had hundreds of apostles as devout as you. Dao Lords and Sovereigns of the four major races, all those who had reached the pinnacle, came to pay homage to me, hoping for my blessings…”
"Ironically, in the end they all died by my hand. Young upstart, do you think you'll be the exception?"
"Or rather, what makes you think you're special, the one who's different? The long years can break down any resilient will and flawless Dao heart."
The Heavenly Abyss Divine Crystal sighed with a touch of melancholy. As it looked at Jiang Mo before it, its gaze seemed to transcend time and travel to the future, as if it foresaw the scene of the two sides breaking apart and engaging in another fierce battle.
How cruel.
Destroy heaven and earth.
Blood flowed for thousands of miles, and the world fell silent.
The recurring and similar historical tragedies made Him doubt and deny Jiang Mo's promises.
"The years are long. If they can distort my original appearance, then I would trouble my mother to see me off."
Jiang Mo chuckled softly, not caring at all about the possibility Tian Yuan mentioned. Instead, he took the initiative to ask Him to give him a quick death when the time came.
"In the past million years, more and more forbidden zones have been created in the Immortal Realm, inhabited by ancient undead creatures. They are decaying and indescribable, existing in the world like malignant tumors."
"My true form is still in the Immortal Realm, and my lifespan is less than a thousand years. Not to mention the distant future, but just for myself, if I were to fall into darkness within a thousand or ten thousand years in order to prolong my life, I suppose I wouldn't keep you waiting for long."
"I have no ability to control you, which is definitely not good news for me."
Tianyuan felt slightly worried. If Jiang Mo were to return to normal, his current state would be the best possible outcome for everyone.
They could fall into darkness and become giants of forbidden zones, at which point hunting ancient life stars would be as easy as breathing and drinking water. Not only Tianyuan, but all the stars in the Immortal Realm would be unable to escape, a true catastrophe.
"I hope you can stay this way forever..."
In the end, Tianyuan couldn't help but pray.
"should."
Jiang Mo smiled slightly, very confident in himself.
"Unfortunately, you are a being brought here by the turbulent flow of time and space. Even if your body and soul are cleansed and transformed by the laws of this world and the Immortal Realm, it is difficult to make up for the innate differences. Although you are not bound by shackles, you still cannot enjoy a long and long lifespan. If you were a being I personally nurtured, I could unlock your shackles. In that case, you might not fall into darkness due to insufficient lifespan..."
"No need. How long I live is entirely up to me. If I can't break through the bottleneck in my cultivation, I'll just die anyway. I'm already content with living to this day."
"Do you still want to resurrect those people? I can still help you."
Tianyuan Divine Crystal changed the subject.
"Oh? Really?"
Jiang Mo asked, and with a casual wave of his hand, the true qi in the void continuously condensed into the appearances of many people, including teachers and disciples from the Republic of China era, disciples and elders from the time when the Sanyi lineage was destroyed, the Supreme One, and the remnants of the Sanyi lineage, along with the relatives of his junior disciples who died due to natural disasters and man-made calamities.
"real."
"Give me a number all at once. As far as I am concerned, every living being that has existed in my life will be recorded. I am history itself. It is nothing more than moving them from yesterday to today, which is easy. It is just that I cannot leave the abyss."
"I cannot accept a reward without merit. Give me the coordinates of the Space Humans, and I will retrieve the lost scroll of history for you. But you two should settle your own grudges. I cannot exterminate the ancient humans I have never met. This is the limit of what I can do."
Jiang Mo didn't know what kind of group the ancient humans were, nor had he ever dealt with them. He only knew from books and the words of the Heavenly Abyss Divine Crystal that they had enslaved the Heavenly Abyss World, causing great suffering to its inhabitants.
Nevertheless, this was not a reason for him to kill them. There is a cause for every wrong, and if he were to take the initiative to settle scores, it would be an act of bullying the weak.
But he was still willing to ask for the stolen items back.
"it is good......"
"Then I'll have to trouble you..."
The Heavenly Abyss Divine Crystal did not object to this request. It knew that the history book could never be complete. Nearly one-third of the artifacts had already been destroyed by Jiang Mo himself to ensure that history would not be rewritten at will, thus affecting his own safety. As for the remaining two-thirds, they could do nothing to him.
"it's here."
The Heavenly Abyss Divine Crystal readily provided a coordinate, then emitted a dazzling blue light that instantly transformed into a magnificent star map.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, the map reflected a distant galaxy.
There are dozens of ancient paths connecting galaxies and celestial abysses, or perhaps the shortest path was taken by taking a shortcut.
If flying normally in deep space, the distance between the two places would be hundreds of billions of light-years.
"..."
Jiang Mo memorized the coordinates at a glance and said succinctly:
"One month."
"I will take back what is rightfully yours."
"It's troublesome."
The Heavenly Abyss Divine Crystal responded with delight, and then its power poured out, the light increasing and intertwining in the air, condensing one after another into figures.
First the skeleton, then the flesh and blood, and then the tendons and veins.
In less than a few breaths, deep within the Earth's core, the bodies of thousands of people were fully conceived.
In the final step, Tianyuan Divine Crystal used an unknown supernatural power to inject the memories, emotions, and personalities of the deceased into the silent bodies of the deceased, like a computer program.
"!"
Jiang Mo's pupils trembled, revealing an undisguised excitement. Right in the center of his vision was his master, Miao Hui. The old man's sleeping eyes had his eyelashes fluttering slightly, as if he were about to awaken.
"Hey......"
In the blink of an eye, a faint breath escaped from the old man's mouth and nose, and his cloudy eyes opened, revealing a tired and dim look.
The old man floated in the void, bewildered. Had he come to the legendary underworld after his death?
He was somewhat bewildered, noticing that the surrounding floating orbs of light were densely packed, each containing a human figure.
Where exactly is this place?
However, something that completely overturned his understanding soon happened!
When the old man's gaze inadvertently swept across the ground, he saw a figure that was all too familiar to him—it was none other than Jiang Mo, the disciple he had entrusted with important responsibilities during his lifetime!
Even after the passage of time, the old man still recognized Jiang Mo at a glance. He trembled uncontrollably, filled with fear. What on earth was going on?!
Could it be... that Mo'er is dead too!?
No, my memory...
A sharp, piercing pain churned in the old man's mind, and vaguely, two completely different memories intertwined and overlapped.
One scene depicts his apprentice weeping tremblingly at his bedside as he dies of old age;
Another scene shows his disciple traveling upstream from the lower reaches of the river of time, like an immortal descending to earth, to reminisce with him.
Gradually, the old man's breathing became rapid, and his pupils contracted sharply, as if he were recalling some terrifying event that had never been heard of before.
"How have you been, Master? Welcome back to the mortal realm."
Jiang Mo spoke to the old man remotely, directly confirming the old man's guess.
His disciple became an existence even more terrifying than an immortal, resurrecting him from his past death directly in the future!
"Where...is this?"
"Huh? I...I...."
"what is that?"
Before the old man could think any further, the figures surrounded by light began to revive one after another, and they started to feel confused about their current situation.
Within a floating sphere of light, the aging Zuo Ruotong felt as if he were in a warm world like a hot spring. Unaware of why, his normally weak consciousness became increasingly clear. Then, with all his might, he slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was...
Thousands of orbs of light, just like his, floated in the air, while the figure standing on the ground was undoubtedly his junior brother, Jiang Mo!
The promise made in the past has been kept.
Zuo Ruotong exhaled a breath of turbid qi, a sense of relief rising in her heart. A smile appeared on her withered face, feeling proud of her junior brother's great success in cultivation.
As expected, it was you... You never break your word, and you can do things that ordinary people cannot...
At the same moment, within an inconspicuous sphere of light, Lu Jin's granddaughter, Lu Linglong's mother, awoke in a daze. Seeing a familiar figure not far away, she murmured weakly:
"Grandmaster...?"
She remembered it very clearly; this was the senior from the sect that her grandfather, Lu Jin, had taken her to visit when she was young. His aura and appearance were exactly the same.
Coincidentally, in the most dazzling sphere of light in the void, a handsome middle-aged man also reappeared in the world. His identity was the last leader of the Trinity Sect, Venerable Mingyao.
"Where is this place...?"
"No, no way, it's that little guy?!"
As the memories of the resentful soul flooded his mind, the Supreme Being learned the whole story. The ruins of the sect had been found by a junior named Jiang Mo, who was also bestowed with the Boundless Power and the Sect Leader's Robe, allowing him to restore the lineage.
So, is this place, the place where he exists, the human world?!
This conjecture struck the Supreme Being like a bolt from the blue. He was incredulous and overwhelmed with excitement. His pupils contracted sharply as he hurriedly turned his head to scan the surroundings. He saw one revived body after another, enveloped in azure light just like his own, suspended in mid-air.
Before he could react, a weathered voice resounded in everyone's ears.
The Heavenly Abyss Divine Crystal has spoken.
"I am the consciousness of the world, I am the world itself, I am the origin and the end of all things."
“You are all people who have passed away, remaining in the past, whether due to natural disasters, man-made calamities, or the natural laws of birth, aging, sickness, and death.”
"Today, Daoist Jiang Mo and I had a good meeting, and both sides were pleased. Therefore, I have moved you from the point of death to the future, and you are resurrected, with a second life and a lifespan of one hundred years. From now on, your fate is already determined, so just do not leave this planet."
In an instant, Tianyuan Divine Crystal's words resounded throughout the underground, and everyone could hear them clearly!
The consciousness of the world, the origin of all things, is conversing with them!
Everyone was shocked and speechless for a long time, completely unable to believe the bizarre scene before their eyes.
