"Tian Dao Palace."
Lu Zhong murmured, looking away from the plaque and towards the smoky palace door in front of him.
It can be seen that it is covered with swords, as well as traces of attacks from supernatural powers, laws and other powers. It lasts for many years, almost throughout the entire Golden Tree era.
"And now, I'm here."
He pressed his hand on the door and felt a weak sense of life. It was so weak, like a candle in the wind, that might be extinguished at any time.
"Is this the last glow of the golden tree?"
Slowly retracting his hand, Lu Zhong couldn't help but think to himself, if he chose to continue the era, then even if he tried his best, with the golden tree exhausted to the limit, how much longer could it be delayed?
At this moment, there was a crisp sound from the front.
"Crack——!"
The door of the palace opened automatically, like the brilliance of the setting sun, slowly shining into the hall in front of you, giving an unobstructed view of the scene inside.
As the crazy woman Lu Yun said before, she indeed regarded all the Taoists except the Taoist Master of Karma as firewood, and now they are all reduced to ashes.
His eyes moved slightly upward, and Lu Zhong's eyes were immediately attracted by several things.
It's a Taoist ring!
Changchun Taoist Ring, Futu Taoist Ring, Tianxing Taoist Ring, Dusk Taoist Ring, Huangquan Taoist Ring, Natural Taoist Ring... In addition to these complete Taoist Rings, there are also many broken Taoist Rings that have disappeared. The great masters for a long time, perhaps the most prosperous Western Taoist masters, their Tao rings are also in it.
He has never seen so many circles gathered together!
Without exception, all the circles are extremely bleak.
This shows that the power within it has already been extracted by Lu Yun and turned into the power to maintain the continuation of the golden tree.
Step by step, Lu Zhong stepped on the sparkling embers and slowly walked into the Temple of Heaven. He looked beyond the altar in front and saw Lu Yun sitting on the throne.
But compared to before, she is undoubtedly much smaller.
Lu Yun looked calm on the surface and looked at Lu Zhong quietly as he walked in. However, the twinkling eyes betrayed her and revealed the unrest in her heart.
And that's exactly what happened.
Choosing Lu Zhong was Lu Yun's helpless move.
If there is a monk who can change the final outcome in the entire Golden Tree era, then there is and only Lu Zhong. After all, the person in front of me is only one step away from being able to break through and be promoted to become a Taoist master.
Although...even if it doesn't last long, it won't last long.
But there is a glimmer of hope after all.
But for some reason, Lu Yun was a little afraid of the person in front of her.
Perhaps it was a premonition in her heart, or it was based on speculation about Lu Zhong's past experience. She always felt that this person was different from the monks who had entered the Temple of Heaven in the past.
The difference is very subtle, but it comes from the essence.
Thinking of this, Lu Yun gently raised her half-carbonized arm, looked at the extinguishing golden flames above, generously showed off her petite body, which was less than one foot, and said with a smile: "This is the end of burning out your strength. If you think about it again, It won't be long before I, like Tiandaozi before, will be completely burned to ashes in front of fellow Taoists."
"Yeah?"
Lu Zhong looked at her and did not infer how many lies there were.
Instead, he turned around and looked at the altar behind him.
At this moment, on the altar, there is a mini golden tree bathed in golden firelight, but anyone can see that it is already on the verge of reaching its limit, and a gust of wind may blow it down.
"So, what is your choice, fellow Taoist?"
Lu Yun asked Lu Zhong again about his plans.
In response to this question, Lu Zhong slowly raised his left hand, and a vitality ring appeared on it. It separated at some point.
Seeing this, he could only smile coldly.
"In my opinion, do I have any other options now?"
In fact, he didn't understand the trap in this circle until he entered the Heavenly Dao Palace.
However, just take advantage of the situation
.
"Indeed not."
Lu Yun looked at the vitality ring overflowing with golden light, seemingly not surprised.
"Fellow Taoist, you have no choice."
With these words out of her mouth, she touched a gold bracelet in her hand, and a golden branch appeared in her hand, and immediately released a bright brilliance. Before Lu Zhong could react, it poured out like a torrent.
Lu Yun knew that her time was running out.
The accident that appeared on the body of the Taoist Master of Cause and Effect almost completely exhausted her power. Fortunately, she was able to completely restrain Lu Zhong with the help of her connection with the Golden Tree.
"As long as he takes the position of the Taoist Master of Heaven, he will no longer be able to control himself."
Lu Yun thought so in her heart, and more golden flames began to emerge from her body.
In an instant, the entire hall seemed to have turned into a golden ocean.
In a daze, she seemed to see a figure walking towards her.
"It's...it's you!"
Accompanied by a cry of surprise, there was also the sound of a sharp blade piercing the cloth.
Lu Zhong held the Taoist soldier Luofu, and without any mercy or mercy, he directly pierced Lu Yun's chest with his sword and nailed her to the throne.
"How could you-!"
In Lu Yun's extremely surprised gaze, a gray ring appeared behind Lu Zhong at this moment.
It is the Yuanshi Dao Ring.
As soon as it appeared, all the dim rings turned into meteors, gathered towards the Yuanshi Ring, and merged into it instantly. Then a mighty aura descended, and it was as if heaven had appeared.
"I see......"
Lu Yun laughed sadly and understood the reason.
It turned out that she was not the only one who was eyeing Lu Zhong.
And Tai Meng!
Lu Yun saw the specialness in Lu Zhong, how could Tai Meng, who created everything and endless reincarnations, not realize it?
"So, Taimeng gave me the Yuanshi Dao Ring."
Lu Zhong looked at the scene in front of him, how could he not understand this in his heart.
The purpose of Supreme Will Taimeng is very simple. It is to give him unprecedented power as a key to opening the next era, so as to find a true path to transcendence.
Things developed just as Taimeng expected.
At this moment, Lu Zhong could sense that an awe-inspiring will locked onto him.
"The overall situation? The overall situation is the most important thing?"
He suddenly smiled.
At this moment, I am not able to influence the overall situation, but I am already the overall situation.
Every move in the future will have a profound impact on the direction of the world. Even if the supreme will is too weak, you have to place your hope on yourself.
While thinking about it, Lu Yun had exhausted her last bit of strength.
She let out a sigh.
The Golden Tree Era, which lasted for countless years, finally ushered in its final moment on this day.
...
Fairyland.
The golden tree that had disappeared for a long time suddenly appeared.
Before that, Lu Yun just suppressed its projection. Now after her power was completely exhausted, the golden tree had to reveal itself, and ignited endless fire in the astonished eyes of countless monks in the immortal world.
"This is what it is!"
"The golden tree is actually burning!"
"..."
Such a cognitively challenging scene occurred, making the monks who were still in the golden age feel extremely confused.
But what happened immediately subverted their imagination.
I saw a golden sun rising slowly, and infinite vitality gathering towards the golden tree. The fairy spiritual energy in all parts of the fairy world ushered in a great ebb, and it only took a breath, but it almost disappeared completely.
And this is just the golden tree's struggle before its death.
In order to save itself, it did not hesitate to drain all the vitality of the surrounding world.
But as a great being who transcends the fairy world, only the power of the gray world can maintain the golden tree.
Even if you use up every last bit of the Immortal Realm, you won't be able to provide the slightest help to it at this moment.
Finally, under the gaze of countless eyes, the golden tree suddenly turned into ashes and disappeared.
Disappearing with it was Lu Yun on the throne.
Just after the golden light completely dimmed, endless darkness surged in like a tide. Everything along the way was swallowed up, and the creatures inside were completely turned into nothingness.
The only exception is the location of Linghuan Realm.
A faint starlight stood in the darkness. Naturally, Tongtian Fairy Bridge is not a bridge in the real sense. To be precise, it is just a bridge that allows people to move from the old era to the new era.
But even it eventually disappeared into the endless darkness.
"Boom!"
The entire fairy court was shaking violently.
Lu Zhong slowly withdrew his gaze, looked around the entire Tiandao Palace, and found that there was no one else here except himself at this moment.
Not far in front of him, a gray ring flickered.
After absorbing all the Dao Rings and Dao Ring fragments, the power of the Yuanshi Dao Ring was unprecedentedly powerful, even far exceeding the power of the Dao Master he knew. There was no doubt that it had reached the Heavenly Dao level.
"I'm afraid it can single-handedly usher in a new era, right?"
Lu Zhong looked at Yuanshi Daohuan and thought to himself.
This great era in the future will be shaped and developed according to his wishes until, as expected by the Supreme Will, Taimon will find the longevity he needs.
Just keep everything in order.
At this moment, the Yuanshi Dao Ring was already integrating into his body.
Unprecedented powerful power is emerging from the body, and Lu Zhong easily breaks through the last hurdle of the Three Corpses Road. As his self-awareness slowly merges, he steps into the Taoist realm.
"Um?"
At this moment, Lu Zhong's eyes moved to a corner of the palace.
The void was seen squirming, and a figure slowly emerged.
Is it the Taoist Master of Cause and Effect?
No!
Lu Zhong looked at the figure in front of him, and his pupils suddenly shrank, as if he could see the true identity of the person under his gaze that could see through eternity.
It's Lu Yun!
To be precise, it was the collection of all the willpower and firewood that had been burned for the golden tree. It could be said that it was Lu Yun, or it could be Taoist Master Dusk, or it could be something else.
"Oh, it's so haunting!"
It is not difficult for Lu Zhong to know the purpose of the collective will in front of him, which is obviously to continue the era of the Golden Tree.
In fact, as long as it can successfully usurp the fruits of the Supreme Will, it can truly continue the Golden Tree Era.
And the will of the golden tree does exactly that.
Once it appears, it does not hesitate to take action.
In an instant, countless attacks came like rain!
As a collection of wills that integrates countless existences, the Golden Tree Will naturally inherits everything from them, whether it is experience, various fighting experiences, or even the understanding and perception of the laws, as well as the life experiences and summaries of the Chai Xin people, At this moment everything comes together and blends perfectly.
But Lu Zhong is also not a vegetarian.
He raised his hand and all the attacks in the sky disappeared.
With a thought, a black hole emerged in the void.
The terrifying suction force pulled the golden tree's will into it. At the same time, the abyss on the side was also assisting. Under the instructions of the Supreme Will Taimeng, it sent out countless tentacles of darkness.
Whoosh whoosh!
The black hole suddenly glowed and collapsed, triggering a horrific explosion.
The power is so astonishing that even a trace of the aftermath can annihilate a Taoist-level existence.
But what Lu Zhong didn't expect was that the golden tree's will was actually intact and turned into a pure small tree, driving away the endless darkness around it and spreading unprecedented blazing light everywhere.
But even if the abyss recedes, the swallowed fairy court will no longer exist.
Where it was before, now
Only a void remains.
Lu Zhong could feel that there was a sense of sadness on the small tree in the distance. After all, after the fairy world was swallowed up, the fairy court was the last symbol of the existence of the golden tree era.
Now...even the Immortal Court has returned to nothingness.
At this moment, the scene in front of him suddenly became distorted.
When Lu Zhong reacted, he was already in the gray world outside.
This place is still the same as before, with gray mist everywhere, but it's a little different now. Relics belonging to the Golden Tree era are piled on top of the debris.
Its appearance heralds the complete end of an era.
At this moment it started to rain lightly in the sky.
The raindrops, carrying ashes, fell on the palm of Lu Zhong's hand, and soon turned into a glimmer of light.
Then, using the ashes and debris of the old era as nutrients, a hazy light bubble slowly appeared. Given time, it will be the birthplace of a new era.
As soon as the hotbed appeared, it immediately triggered the madness of the golden tree's will.
It was completely desperate and rushed towards the light group like crazy.
Lu Zhong just stood by and watched.
He wanted to see how Tai Meng responded to this.
Speaking of which, I am afraid that no one has ever seen the existence that stirred up troubles behind the scenes, or... the existence that has seen Taimeng take action has either disappeared in the long river of time, or has died. Die again.
Billions of miles...ten thousand feet...so close!
As if he sensed that Lu Zhong was determined, there was a sudden movement in the void, and he slowly stretched out a big hand made of the endless abyss as skin and infinite stars as the bones.
It is so brilliant that nothing in the world can compare with it.
"Is this Tai Meng's true self?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Zhong felt nothing but shock in his heart.
It's hard to describe it even with all the words.
But there is no doubt that Taimeng is indeed a supreme being, and his power shocks ancient and modern times. Even he who has now obtained the power of the Yuanshi Dao Ring cannot compare with it.
With a touch from Taimeng's hand, the golden tree's will was like a young baby's, being dispersed effortlessly.
Then, the big hand moved towards this side again.
Lu Zhong knew that Taimeng was preparing to punish him.
As the price of standing by and violating reincarnation, Lu Zhong's past and memory will be completely shattered, he will no longer be himself, and will start a new era with a new personality in the future.
It does not belong to his Lu Zhong era!
