The ice grass is completely white, and at first glance it looks no different from ordinary weeds covered in frost. But in fact, it contains endless life.
The sun shines through the clouds and onto the earth. For this ice-covered land, everything here is filled with brilliance.
The brilliance is mostly the brilliance of the sun. Of course, there are also some living creatures. They have absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so they are emitting brilliance themselves.
Only this ice plant.
It would sway gently from time to time, but it was always dim and never gave off any brilliance. It only occasionally becomes crystal clear...
Whenever it becomes crystal clear, the various brilliance on the grassland will dye it into one piece, making it become the same as the surrounding creatures.
In fact, different creatures have different ways of survival. Whether it is weeds or other living things, they all have their own way of practice.
In fact, most of the treasures of heaven and earth are also living beings.
Just like those elixirs, if the elixirs are allowed to practice further, they will most likely evolve into wild beasts or other strange creatures.
And this ice grass, which looks ordinary, is actually the most extraordinary creature on this ice sheet. Because it's about someone.
There are countless weeds on this ice sheet.
But those weeds often complete their lives within a year. Their life begins with a seed and ends with a seed.
As for this ice grass, its life began more than a thousand years ago. It took root and sprouted in an instant, and grew into grass in an instant.
No living thing will notice it.
Even though the Supreme Heaven and the Free Heaven were paying attention to the entire world all the time, they also did not find this seemingly ordinary ice grass.
And this ice grass exists in such a special posture. Just because it carries someone's ultimate wish.
go home.
This person has passed away, but the person who passed away continues to exist after giving up his body and soul, but he has not yet found his way home.
This ice grass contains the will of Gu Qingyang and Gu Qingying. It is the body that Gu Qingyang used the purest power of Tai Cang to build for himself.
In fact... As early as more than a thousand years ago, Gu Qingyang could transform into a human form at any time and then leave this ice field.
But if he really did that, he would be destined to be a weak person with no fighting power at all.
Although his body and soul were dead, he still had many things to do. In addition, there are many things that he has never had time to do.
In order to finish what should be done, in order to complete what he had not yet had time to do, he chose to wait and trust.
He was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that would allow him to return to the world with absolute invincibility.
His instinct was telling him that maybe he would have to wait for another thousand years, maybe he would have to wait for two more thousand years...
Perhaps, countless more than a thousand years.
But now that he has endless time, he will keep waiting. Even if this waiting is destined to bring him endless loneliness.
He had already thought about it——
If his return is destined to only bring disaster and pain to the people he cares about, then he would rather never return.
When he returns, he must be a blessing to the people around him, rather than a terrible disaster to the people around him.
call--
The cold wind was blowing, and the ice grass was swaying in the cold wind, just like other ice plants in this world.
The bone flying boats that came to pay homage to Gu Qingyang stopped on this ice field one after another, and powerful creatures descended on this ice field one after another.
Farther away, deep in the ice continent, waves of melodious and sad prayer songs sounded. That was the women of the Wonderful Sound Immortal Sect singing softly.
This kind of lamentation has sounded on the ice field more than ten times. Every time it sounds, the only thing that responds to the singer is the biting cold wind on the ice field.
A group of powerful beastmen transformed into human forms.
They just stood there without any deliberate etiquette.
But except for Tun Yuan, who had just been subdued, the other strong beasts had respect in their eyes.
That is not a respect for Su Yue, let alone Fan Linlang and Liu Xinyu.
That is the high respect they, as the beast tribe, have for a certain deceased friend of the beast tribe.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the hearts of some strong orcs, Gu Qingyang's status is no worse than Fan Linlang.
Because Gu Qingyang and Fan Linlang are both extremely important to them. And, most importantly... Gu Qingyang gave them peace.
The changes in the world structure brought about by Gu Qingyang are destined to have far-reaching consequences. To say it is a catastrophe is only for the human race.
For the orcs, that was by no means a disaster.
Although the Orcs had been recuperating for a long time before this, the Orcs had always been in a state of division.
At that time, none of them agreed with the term Orcs. In their eyes, Orcs were all races of creatures.
Even if they plan something sincerely, it is just to plan endless blessings for their respective races.
But since then, they have changed.
Their horizons have become broader, and they are no longer as short-sighted as before. In their eyes, the Orcs are the Orcs.
They are not a family of birds, nor are they a family of beasts, nor are they sea beasts, they are just a family of beasts.
If Fan Linlang, the only god, brought them unprecedented unity, then what Gu Qingyang brought them was the time and space for development.
The so-called space-time refers to time and space.
Because the human race has been sealed, the orcs can encroach on the human race's territory little by little and seek more resources.
Although the Orcs originally had plans to snatch these things, a long time ago, the Orcs' plan was to launch one brutal war after another.
This matter was avoided by Gu Qingyang.
The orcs don't need to lose as much as they originally planned to get the things they want most. It can be said that the beast tribe is now prosperous.
Even if a terrible war breaks out, even if the human race unites with other living races in this world, the orcs will still be worthy.
Time and space, this is a generous gift given by Gu Qingyang to their orcs.
Since the fall of Gu Qingyang, the longer time passes, the more they can realize the benefits brought by Gu Qingyang's Dao Emperor's decree.
Therefore, why don't they respect Gu Qingyang?
There has never been a person, no, there has never been a living being, who has been as kind to them as Gu Qingyang.
They clearly understood that in Gu Qingyang's eyes, they were never his subjects or slaves, but friends.
Gu Qingyang always had equal respect for them who were brave and good at fighting. Gu Qingyang admired them for obeying the law of the jungle and the strong.
And they——
He has always looked at Gu Qingyang with the same eyes, appreciated Gu Qingyang, and deeply respected Gu Qingyang from the bottom of his heart.
Therefore, when the women of the Wonderful Sound Immortal Sect use their songs to remember the Lord Qing Emperor who brought them endless blessings, they are remembering the Sin Blood Emperor.
However, it doesn't matter whether Gu Qingyang is the Qing Emperor or the Sin Blood Emperor...
For the many creatures who arrived on this ice sheet today, the reason why they gathered in the same place was simply because of Gu Qingyang.
The reason why they gather in this snow-covered wasteland is because this is where Gu Qingyang once lived when he was reborn.
A long time passed.
The women of the Wonderful Sound Immortal Sect are still singing with their sincere voices, and the beast tribe is still silently missing him.
The blood relatives left behind by Gu Qingyang - the four children who were born extraordinary, are also remembering and mourning their father in their own way.
They recalled what their mother had said, recalled the memory images they had watched, and thought about the person they had never met.
Some people died.
But he always gives people the feeling that he is still alive, as if he has always been standing somewhere, but in fact he has never left.
Until one after another the bone flying boats set sail again amidst the roar, there was no sign of any change in this ice field.
Only that ice grass, when the sun penetrated the clouds and came to the world again, it became shining under the sunlight.
…
"Ying'er, we have seen the rain all over the world. We have witnessed life and death, and we have witnessed that civilization still has time."
"Now, I want to prove my enlightenment in my own way. This attempt of mine will be full of endless risks, but it is also extremely romantic."
"Didn't you say you wanted to see Tai Cang Zhou?"
"Come, hold my brother's hand tightly. This time, my brother will travel through endless years and take you to see the legendary Tai Cangzhou."
…
I don't know how much time passed before Gu Qingyang, who had been exploring this world for more than a thousand years, manifested his will body.
He held Gu Qingying's hand and whispered softly while leaving the ice grass that had grown for more than a thousand years.
In fact, that ice plant is just a weed.
Essentially, it is no different than any other weed in this world. Only because of Gu Qingyang's favor did it change like that.
If it weren't for Gu Qingyang's choice of this grass, this grass would have experienced a prosperous life like other weeds.
And now——
It is completely different from other weeds. It has never experienced the process of withering, nor has it experienced the process of prosperity.
Speaking of withering, it has never experienced real withering. It is always a grass, a weed with a restrained and gloomy appearance.
In terms of glory, it has never bloomed the green color of life like other weeds. It has always been covered by frost and only occasionally emits blue light.
so--
Rather than saying that it is in a stage of decline and prosperity, it is better to say that it has true eternity and will not weaken or die, nor will it prove that things must reverse themselves when they reach their extremes.
eternal!
This is the supreme blessing that Gu Qingyang bestowed on this grass. Because of Gu Qingyang, it is destined to be different from other weeds in the world.
Only Gu Qingyang and Gu Qingying knew that the three moments before and after the birth of this grass should be regarded as Lili grass.
Lilicao, life is endless and death is endless.
This is ancient Qingyang's honorific name for the wild grasses in the world.
Weeds...in the eyes of all living beings in this world, they have always been the weakest creatures, worse than ants.
But in Gu Qingyang's eyes, it is truly remarkable, a truly immortal creature, with reincarnation and eternal existence.
After experiencing those three moments, it was no longer Lili grass, but Dry Rong grass. It is a weed endowed with the power of Tai Cang.
The power of Tai Cang can turn it into a real origin artifact. If it is seen by those who really know the goods, it will definitely cause endless rain of blood.
For Gu Qingyang, this thing can only be regarded as a medium at best.
Before he returns to the wilderness, this thing can be the place where his will body is stored.
If he wants to return to the wilderness, this thing can become his new body at any time.
But... if he wants to return in the most perfect and invincible posture, then he has to take one step forward before returning.
At this moment, he was about to take that step forward with Gu Qingying. For Gu Qingying, it was the mythical Tai Cang Zhou.
For him -
His destination this time is not only Tai Cang Zhou, but also what he has been pursuing for his whole life, which is the ultimate freedom.
During these more than a thousand years, he explored the world to his heart's content and learned everything about it.
The origin of the Great Law.
The origin of this world.
…
He knew so many things that he didn't know originally, and among those things, there were even things that Heavenly Dao didn't know about.
Gradually, he understood that ultimate freedom is actually very simple. Its true meaning can be explained even in just one sentence.
That is - not bound.
In this world, there are too many things that can bind a living being. Such as the myriad avenues, such as the world itself.
For mortals, what binds them is the world itself. Everything in this world related to them or illusory is a shackles.
Such as emotion, such as blood relationship.
These things can be the driving force that supports them to live, and they can also be the resistance that restrains them throughout their lives.
For bone cultivators, what binds them may not be this world, but the origin of this world, which is the great road.
The practice of bone cultivation is also seeking the Tao.
Every bone cultivator has his own innate talent, and each talent is closely related to one or several avenues.
This seems to be an innate possession, but in fact it is also the initial shackles. Because there is something, we have to go through the process of nothingness.
Emotion, reason.
Their own innate nature can be understood as emotion, and the path they pursue can be the truth.
In fact, nature may not necessarily turn into emotions, the avenue is the avenue, but... only those parts that are understood by them will be the most reasonable.
They will not understand the truth that is not the truth, because they never agree with the truth that they do not regard as the truth.
And all these are constraints.
Gu Qingyang is different from mortals, different from bone cultivators, and different from all creatures in this world.
He spent a thousand years to see the world, see through love and reason, get used to life and death, and witness the birth and death of countless lives.
There is obviously only one wild world.
But he has seen many wild worlds in these more than a thousand years, and those worlds all have completely different essential characteristics.
When he looked at the world from the perspective of heaven's talent, he found that the world was actually quite boring.
Such a world is full of life, but also full of destruction. Life is born to die, and this is life in the eyes of "Heaven".
Maybe this is why Heaven treats all living beings as pawns, but life is indeed a miracle. It is precisely because of life that the world changes.
Curse – Blessing.
The impact of life on this world can be considered to be both good and bad. The good impact is that life has helped the world establish a unique power circulation system.
Whether it is the process from birth to death or from death to life, it is the process of the circulation of all kinds of forces in this world.
This is particularly evident in powerful creatures. Usually the more powerful the creature, the more so.
Mortals often say that when a whale falls, everything comes into being.
Gu Qingyang discovered that his own death actually followed this principle. If it weren't for his death, the emperor's decree would not be effective.
The emperor's decree will not be effective, the pattern of the world will not change, and the Supreme Heaven and Zi Zitian will not stop and put down the hand holding the chess piece.
A thousand years.
Gu Qingyang used it to see through everything, but found that just seeing through was useless. If he wants ultimate freedom and absolute invincibility.
Then he should transcend everything, get rid of all restraints, obtain extremely powerful power, and possess the strength that completely surpasses the way of heaven.
Only in this way will the ever-present hustle and bustle not continue to exist in an eternal manner. A moment of peace will not only exist for this moment.
"Come."
Finally, as Gu Qingyang's voice sounded for the last time on the ice field, the ice grass swayed in the cold wind.
Gu Qingyang and Gu Qingying left, no, it should be said that they disappeared completely. They went to another place.
That place is also a wild world.
But it is neither the present world nor the underworld.
That place was the Great Wilderness World before endless years. It was the Great Wilderness World when it was not yet called the Great Wilderness World.
Tai Cang Zhou.
Myths and legends that have been recorded and recited by countless races of creatures in the wild world. No creature knows when it existed.
Regardless of mortal bone cultivators, wild beasts, heavenly spirits, and earth spirits, everyone only regards it as a legendary myth.
But who knows——
It is not a story deliberately compiled by anyone, but a true record of everything in the past, and it is the oldest history of the years.
Gu Qingyang understood it because Gu Qingyang believed that everything recorded in it was true. And there is also a record of it in the Tai Cang Era Classic.
Even if that record only has three words.
To go to the Tai Cang Universe, the first shackles that need to be broken away from are time and space. And this, Gu Qingyang can already overcome.
But when they arrived, they heard Gu Qingying say:
"Brother, take me home after we have seen Tai Cang Zhou. Temporary peace is only temporary peace after all, and the law of heaven will not stop."
"I think--"
"When you go back, it should be the second outbreak of the World-Destroying Tribulation. Even if you don't go to destroy the world, Heaven will destroy the world."
"I still want to eat noodles, see the rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and listen to sister Yue'er's piano. You can make this world a little better, okay?"
…
