The sound of thunder shook the heaven and the earth. Under the witness of countless living beings, Gu Qingyang stepped onto the long steps to reach the sky step by step.
He had black hair and black robes, and his whole body exuded an extremely strange light. In a world full of darkness, he is the only shining creature.
"he--"
Humans, beasts, and other creatures were all staring at him, and they all had the urge to describe him in words.
But no matter who they are, no matter which race of creatures they are from, in the end... they will curb this instinctive impulse on their own.
They really couldn't find suitable words to describe him from their knowledge, so they could only choose to remain silent.
If one of them had to describe Gu Qingyang, then this creature would most likely say "the only one".
Yes, it's the only one.
In addition to this... this creature, and even all creatures, they can't think of more suitable words.
Gu Qingyang is a creature that can only be described as "the only". He is powerful and has evolved to a level far beyond them.
"Heaven and earth are alive with me."
"All things are one with me."
In this case, many souls have said this before when they were practicing, but they did not put in the effort, or even paid an extremely heavy price.
However, throughout the ages, there have been few beings who can truly unite knowledge and action, words and deeds. But the Gu Qingyang in front of them is definitely the same.
In Gu Qingyang, they really found this feeling.
Gu Qingyang said many things that made people feel arrogant during the process of climbing the stairs. In that case, anyone who listens will think that Gu Qingyang is too arrogant.
But they are the only ones...
When they heard Gu Qingyang speak like this, Gu Qingyang was standing on the long steps, his momentum was extremely shining, and his whole person was unparalleled in power.
At that time, many of them would even spontaneously doubt whether Gu Qingyang was still a human bone cultivator.
They felt that Gu Qingyang was not human at all.
Among the normal human race, those with the most amazing talents are simply the owners of the ten most powerful life bones.
The ten most powerful life bones are already very terrifying. Under normal circumstances, if they are cultivated to perfection, they can be compared with the legendary beasts of the same realm.
If he could not take the ordinary path like Rancang Wuji, but stick to his own path until the end, he would be able to surpass the legendary creatures of the beast tribe.
But in comparison, Rancang Wuji was defeated by Gu Qingyang.
Moreover, when they were fighting, Rancang Wuji was even stronger than Gu Qingyang.
Gu Qingyang is obviously not the owner of the top ten most powerful life bones, but he has such a terrifying record, which really makes people feel numb.
Although they failed to fight with Gu Qingyang, everything that happened after seeing Gu Qingyang was enough to prove Gu Qingyang's strength.
And now——
The distance between Gu Qingyang and the Shark Emperor's tears was only seven steps away. These seven steps were also the last seven long steps.
Gu Qingyang's intuition told him that if he climbed up, everything would be over. He will see the innate power of Tai Cang.
Accordingly, he will die.
This is not the true destiny arranged for him by Heaven, but the result of his own cultivation through practice again and again.
Although there are still too many doubts about this death that he has not solved, time waits for no one, and he must move forward.
It doesn’t matter whether the Supreme Heaven urges him or not.
He has to take this step eventually and must experience the death called "rebirth". This is the end of His divine Word.
But at this moment, he stopped where he was and didn't move.
The reason why he did this was because he confirmed once again that he was fully prepared to leave a prosperous age for those around him.
He wants to ensure the safety of those around him and buy time for his followers to grow... If he doesn't do this well, he will never die.
"Heaven and earth are alive with me."
"All things are one with me."
Gu Qingyang recited these two sentences silently in his heart, over and over again. Every time he reads it, there will be new insights in his heart.
These two sentences are indeed two mantras. With a little understanding, you can touch the great road a little bit. Once you are fully enlightened, you can achieve enlightenment.
The purpose of ordinary bone cultivators to practice these two sentences is to clearly understand the true meaning, and then use this true meaning to achieve their own path.
But that's not his purpose.
He has already done what the true meaning of these two sentences symbolizes.
In the past period of time, he was able to do such extraordinary things.
It is because he is truly integrated with heaven and earth and has inspired the supreme source of the great avenue.
Even those strong men in the sixteenth realm who have lived for endless years cannot do such a thing. But he can.
Because he is Gu Qingyang, he is the only true imperial clan in the world. Those witnesses were actually right, he was indeed no longer human.
It is no longer correct to regard him as a human being or describe him as a human being.
In this second life, he has practiced cultivation all the way up to now, and has indeed realized part of his ideals.
For example... change the entire world from its roots. He has done this, and he has used his power to change the world.
The reason why those super orthodoxy dare to assume the posture of dominating the world is indeed because they have a rich foundation and have many strong men in the sixteen realms.
The experts in the sixteen realms are very powerful.
God's will is not revealed, and the strong men in the Sixteenth Realm are indeed invincible. Those people have the power to control one or several laws of the great road.
Under normal circumstances, the only person who can rival a sixteenth-level powerhouse is another sixteenth-level powerhouse.
In his previous life, he was targeted by the entire world during the last battle, and those thousands of strong men in the Sixteenth Realm tried their best to kill him.
However--
Those people, plus all the creatures in the wild world, plus the way of heaven... all these beings were enemies of him, but they could only fight to the death together.
After deducing the Tai Cang Ku Rong Sutra to the extreme, everything is starting over. He was already extremely powerful in his previous life, but he still felt that he was not strong enough.
If possible, he would like to become stronger.
Therefore, he began to pursue the state of perfection, and every time he achieved a state, he had to cultivate this state to perfection.
He is indeed taking a new path, a path that can make him stronger now than he was in his previous life.
But the price of walking that road was extremely heavy. He lost too many precious things. Finally, in the ninth realm, the road was cut off.
In order not to put his wife's life in danger, he resolutely gave up the path of perfection.
At that time, the Supreme Heaven succeeded and mocked him in its own unique way more than once.
He laughed off this. In his opinion, it was no big deal that the road was broken.
Then he created the mythical Tao, linking his Tao with his understanding of himself, as well as all factors such as cause and effect and true destiny.
From that moment on, he realized that... he had indeed found a longer-term path, but the cost of taking this path would be greater.
One of the costs included his death.
This death is the result of the evolution of the Word of God.
He accepts this result only if the Supreme Heaven and the Isvara satisfy all his conditions. And the latter is indeed satisfied.
He wanted to create a unique peaceful age for those around him and his followers, and those two guys agreed...
As a result, the most incomprehensible thing happened.
The strong men of the human race did not understand what Gu Qingyang meant by "returning", but they had truly witnessed Gu Qingyang's terrifying strength.
No matter how powerful the bone cultivators of the Sixteenth Realm are, what can they do? In front of the creatures in the Seventeenth Realm, their invincibility is a joke.
Gu Qingyang is this creature.
Many people think that he is a human, but he is actually from the Imperial Clan, and he is a terrifying existence that deserves to be called "Qingtian".
Therefore, when those strong men in the Sixteenth Realm encountered the curse that he released by burning everything, they would bear the curse seal and be forced to accept that covenant.
There are only two ways to break this covenant.
Either Gu Qingyang can be reborn after death, and then he can personally lift the curse after rebirth.
Either the way of heaven will collapse, the avenue will completely collapse, and the whole world will be destroyed... In this case, this curse will no longer exist.
But there is really no point in trying the second method of relief. The world is destroyed, and it really doesn't make much sense whether they can regain their freedom.
This is the domineering aspect of Gu Qingyang.
It is absolutely correct to say that Gu Qingyang changed the world. No matter how incredible this thing is, it is true.
"To all friends of the Orcs, you can trust my wife Linlang. As long as she is still here, the Orcs can always be united."
"Don't you want to restore the glory of the ancient times? Now, I will bring you the opportunity to hopefully touch that glory."
"The human race will not act rashly."
"I have successfully suppressed all the sixteen realm bone cultivators of the human race through my own methods, making it difficult for them to step out of their respective traditions forever."
"Among the beast clan, anyone who is an ally with my Sin-Blood Imperial Court can be protected by my Sin-blood, and can be exempted from the catastrophe of divine punishment that does not comply with the laws of heaven."
"You can use the peace and prosperity I bring you to practice with all your strength. Even if the years go by, the truly strong will be immortal."
"As for you, humans—"
"I hope you can think about the problem from other perspectives. I hope you can see the essence of the matter clearly."
"If you are willing to accept this peace, then you can naturally enjoy peace. But if you want to follow your ambition and greed."
"That's embarrassing."
"I believe...even if I die, the legacy I leave behind in this world can still destroy the entire human race."
"Don't try to call me a devil. I am a devil. I am the most powerful creature. In front of me, you have no right to choose."
…
Gu Qingyang suddenly lowered his head. While he was overlooking the witnesses, he told the future pattern in an extremely calm voice.
At first, he only used a few words to make many powerful beasts extremely excited. Because what he said was what these orcs were thinking.
What do the orcs desire most?
Looking at the entire orc tribe, whether they are flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water, they all think about the same thing.
This thing is revival.
The Orcs had great glory in the past and were the overlords of this world. Only later did it fall apart because of the diversity of racial branches.
For a long time, the Orcs have been troubled by the civil war within their own clan, as well as the external troubles brought by other clans. But now they don't seem to need to worry anymore.
What Gu Qingyang said is right.
With Fan Linlang here, they don't need to worry about anything. The title Lord of All Living Things is a golden sign among their beast clan.
What's more, Fan Linlang is not a fledgling girl. Despite her young age, her ability is undoubtedly strong.
With Fan Linlang here, why should the Beast Clan be unhappy?
Their sea beast clan is also a huge branch of the beast clan, and they have not returned to the beast clan for so long. After careful calculation, now is indeed the time to go back.
Although they did have thoughts of obliterating Gu Qingyang before, they will never have such thoughts now.
Gu Qingyang only pointed out one way for the human race.
For them, the sea beast family pointed to two.
The first of those two roads is the same as what Gu Qingyang just said, which is to happily return to the main body of the beast clan, and then move towards glory step by step.
As for the second way, although Gu Qingyang didn't explain it clearly, with their intelligence, they could guess it clearly.
Gu Qingyang's meaning is very simple.
Of course, they can also choose not to surrender, but the result of not surrendering is nothing more than maintaining the status quo and facing the future as a sea beast clan.
Gu Qingyang has made it very clear what the future will be like. No matter how stupid they are, they can still learn a lot from it.
There seem to be two roads.
But they understand that there is only one correct way from beginning to end, and that is the first way. Brilliance awaits them after they choose the first road.
What do they gain by choosing the second path?
Decline? Or is it an unchanged future?
Whether it is decline or an unchanged future, that is not what they want. All they want is glory.
It is worth mentioning that the original intention of killing Gu Qingyang was also for glory. Now that Gu Qingyang has directly given them his glory, why should he fight back?
Therefore, these sea beasts have finally returned home.
They all raised their heads and stared at Gu Qingyang with increasingly fanatical eyes. That look... was really close to worshiping Gu Qingyang as their god.
At the same time, the group of human bone cultivators present were just enough to contrast with the orcs. These human bone cultivators are very desperate.
They first looked at the powerful beastmen, and then looked at Gu Qingyang, and suddenly felt like they wanted to cry without tears.
"Why don't you help us humans!"
Finally, someone in the crowd yelled. The roar was loud at first, but later it became full of anger.
The sound shook the heavens and the earth, and the creatures present also expressed strange expressions after hearing it. This is indeed a good question.
In fact, not only a group of human bone cultivators, but also strong men from other living races are paying special attention to the answers that Gu Qingyang may give.
They really couldn't understand Gu Qingyang.
Although Gu Qingyang was so powerful that they felt that Gu Qingyang was not a human being, in the final analysis, Gu Qingyang looked like a living person.
"Human race?"
"Hehehehehehahahahahaha——"
"Why should I help humans?"
"During my journey, what you call the right path, what you call the human race, have they ever helped me in the slightest?"
"In my eyes, there is no distinction between living creatures and races at all. To me, just as the fighting dragon around me is a living being, a blade of grass is also a living being."
"There is no self-image."
"No one has a look."
"There is no sign of sentient beings."
"This is something that bone cultivators in the third realm should be able to see through, but you still can't see through it even now. Ha, you are really a bunch of rubbish."
"Do you know the gods of the human race?"
"I tell you, the gods of the human race are born in the human heart. When people suffer, they will look forward to a god to save them."
"But once the suffering disappears, people will completely forget the merits of the gods, and finally sink into temporary comfort."
“Complexity is the human heart.”
"Greed is human nature."
"Can you see clearly what you keep saying is the right path and what you call the righteousness of the human race? I tell you, only strength is eternal!"
"snort."
…
Gu Qingyang laughed wildly at first, and then explained to everyone with his original extremely calm posture. Until the end, he finally showed off his terrifying power.
This scene brought an extremely shocking impact to all the creatures present. In their eyes, Gu Qingyang was a complete devil.
But Gu Qingyang mentioned God.
Those human bone cultivators wanted to use their words to refute Gu Qingyang, but in the end they had to give up this idea.
Because they really can't come up with a reasonable basis to refute others, Gu Qingyang's words are real-life examples.
And at the last moment, Gu Qingyang's cold snort was even more deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Maybe...after today, the thoughts of many human bone cultivators will change, and they are destined to undergo earth-shaking changes.
But who knew that Gu Qingyang was also sighing silently in his heart——
Why doesn't he yearn for that light? But this world is a dark world, full of killings, conspiracies, and death.
In such a world, absolute justice is rare and even false. It's one thing to yearn for that thing, it's another thing to do it.
Help the human race?
Then only if the human race in this world is worthy of his help. He has always kept those mortals in his heart, but do these bone cultivators care about mortals?
not at all.
Gu Qingyang silently stared at the seven long steps in front of him. At the end of the long steps was Emperor Shark's Tears, which was the ultimate goal of his trip.
He knew very well that to others, that thing was the only treasure in the world, but to him it was death that he had to experience.
But when he faced this death, he didn't have any extra thoughts.
His heart was extremely calm, so calm that there would be no ripples at all. However, just when he was determined to move forward, he remembered a passage——
"This body and bones return to heaven and earth."
"Not stained by the world of mortals."
