A bigger challenge.
In fact, Wu Wan never understood what Zhong was talking about.
But he had a concept a long time ago, that is, the challenge may not be achieved despite all his efforts.
This made Wu Wan instinctively resist the secret.
On the other hand, Zhong has been avoiding his tragedy, pushing things to develop in a good direction, and patiently reminding Wu Wan of the links that Wu Wan has considered and failed to consider.
In fact, Zhong's ability is excessive.
Back in time and space.
Suppress the time line.
Going against the times.
No matter which one of these three points is taken alone, they are peerless treasures that are beyond the understanding of the most powerful people like Di Kuang, Zhu Long, and the Third God King.
But even with such a treasure, and the one who forged such a treasure and reached the end of time and space on a certain timeline, he had to use such 'cheating' methods to seek more chances of winning.
The path he is taking now is to create a perfect Donghuang.
There are no hidden wounds, no regrets in the bottom of my heart, but abundant fighting spirit, strong mental strength, and a complete version of the way of heaven with a step-by-step plan to control all the avenues between heaven and earth.
Even in the process, Donghuang Zhong hinted, expressed, and designed in various ways to make him take shortcuts.
The reason behind it seems to be to 'save time' and give him more time to prepare, lay out, and understand.
What kind of disaster is it?
The Third God King went crazy and came back?
The First Age of Gods is coming again?
Wu Wan didn't understand and never asked, but today, Shennong's words successfully aroused the hidden desire in Wu Wan's heart.
It's a mule or a horse coming out for a ride!
Ahem, no.
What crisis is hidden in this seemingly bright journey? Show it now, Zhong!
When——
The bright bell rang, and Wu Wang's surroundings were already enveloped in dense mist.
A large bell slowly emerged as a half-illusory and half-real shadow.
Wu Wan looked at the somewhat 'dreamy' big clock and sighed slightly in his heart as he looked at the mark on the clock that was full of vicissitudes of life.
A ball of light and shadow formed in front of the big clock, but this time it did not turn into Wu Wan's figure, but instead turned into a girl.
She has a slim figure and is wearing a short skirt. Wu Wan's face feels slightly familiar, but he concludes that he has never seen it before. This familiarity should be... it should be...
"Master, this is an appearance that has been adjusted according to your preferences."
Zhong Ling said softly, and deliberately raised her chest and raised her head to make the sudden peaks appear even more perfect.
Zhong smiled and said, "Talking to you like this is more conducive to your good impression of me."
After confirming the eyes, it was forged by myself.
Wu Wang asked: "You should know what Senior Shennong said."
Zhong Ling was silent.
Wu Wan raised his hand and tapped it. He felt as if he was connected to the clock at this moment. With just a slight movement of his mind, the big bell and this girl floated to him on their own.
Wu Wan pointed out a futon and said, "Sit down, it's time for you and me to have a good chat."
"Master's ability to endure until today is already a very impressive feat," Zhong Ling said in a low voice.
Wu Wang said: "It's just because I trust you enough."
Zhong Ling smiled and said: "After master achieved the position of Emperor of Heaven, he also learned to win over people's hearts."
"this……"
"Master," Zhong Ling took the initiative, "I can explain to you in detail whatever you want to know, including future disasters, as well as some suggestions for your next direction of strength cultivation and Tao enlightenment."
She paused for a moment, as if she was sensing Wu Wan's state of mind.
Zhong Ling said: "Master, you are now able to control your state of mind to avoid my detection."
"After all, I am your master," Wu Wang smiled leisurely, "Controlling the way of heaven, he is always comprehending the Tao through the way of heaven. The Tao realm is constantly evolving upwards, and naturally he can also have some skills.
Let’s talk about what the bigger challenge is. "
Zhong Ling pursed his lips slightly, with a pitiful expression on his little face.
This appearance was completely designed based on Wu Wang's preferences. At this moment, Wu Wang really...
Well, this is a bell, a bell!
Will the emperor of heaven awaken his animal attributes?
But not to mention, Zhong Ling is really quite cool like this.
"Master, you have actually guessed part of it," Zhong Ling said softly, "about the future disaster."
"Already guessed part of it?"
Wu Wan couldn't help but cross his arms and murmured: "You have said before, Emperor Kuang and Zhulong are just grindstones on my way forward. Zhulong, this enemy, must make good use of it and give me as much benefit as possible." A greater improvement, instead of relying on the way of heaven to directly suppress this guy.
In other words, the disaster is after them..."
Wu Wan groaned for a few times and asked: "Old God?"
"Maybe," Zhong Ling replied.
"Maybe? Then, is there a change in the way of heaven?"
"Maybe," a faint smile appeared on Zhong Ling's lips.
"Uh, your betrayal?"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Zhong Ling almost jumped up, her face turned red.
At this moment, Zhong Ling's thin lips trembled!
"Master, please don't think too much, Xiao Zhong will definitely and definitely not betray you!
I was forged by you, you are my father, my mother, everything to me, and you, master, first forged my prototype in several possibilities, and then continued to fill me in with avenues and materials. My relationship with you is extremely sincere!
Second only to Mistress Ling and Lord Jingwei! "
Wu Wan smiled awkwardly.
Damn it, could he have really communicated with Zhong Ling beyond the material level in other world lines?
"Ahem, that..."
"My spirituality only exists in the past, Master," Zhong Ling blinked, blushed inexplicably, and turned his head to look to one side.
Wu Wan also silently raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and calmly brought the topic back.
"Well, you won't betray me."
"Master, you shouldn't have such thoughts. The trust between us is the foundation for your ability to overcome disasters in the future."
"Are you sure I can defeat that disaster?"
"Not sure," Zhong's voice dropped, "Based on the current speed of your improvement, our chances of winning are still very slim, and I can't calculate the specific chances of winning.
Because so far, in that third of the possible timeline where I can be born, we still don’t know who the enemy is. "
Wu Wanru fell into the clouds: "What's going on? Please tell me in detail."
"Master, have you ever wondered what happened on the possible timeline when I was first born?"
The girl Zhong Ling raised her hand and sketched a picture.
That was the picture of the Eastern Emperor's enthronement, which she used to mislead Emperor Wei and later showed to Wu Wang.
Wu Wan nodded and asked, "Then let me ask now, what happened next?"
The girl Zhong Ling smiled and said: "You manage the world and the way of heaven, realize the ideal you call Internacion in the wilderness, and explore the subtle relationship between human nature, divinity, and animal nature."
"this……"
Wu Wan couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead.
Zhong Ling sighed softly and whispered: "Since you want to know, you should be prepared to face this."
"Well," Wu Wang said, "Just say it, I haven't been knocked down that easily."
"As Master, you just said, the old gods' troubles and changes in the way of heaven are just possible things that will lead to the end of this world.
But that's not destined to happen, it's just a possibility. "
Zhong stared at Wu Wan, that sweet and smooth voice had a bit more hoarse texture.
She said: "In order to facilitate your understanding, I will deduce the possible results of my simultaneous deduction into lines."
Light green branches flew out of the big clock.
Countless branches are spreading, like a tree from its roots to its crown.
Then, the branches separated and gathered into six lines in front of Wu Wang.
Zhong Ling, the girl from Donghuang Bell, sighed softly and said slowly:
"I have divided all disasters into six categories. The third category can be predicted at this moment based on your mastery of the way of heaven and your understanding of the avenue.
The first category is changes in the way of heaven.
You are on every possible precaution, but Heaven still secretly creates consciousness and continues to squeeze you out. Finally, it takes away control of heaven and earth and creates a powerful consciousness. The destruction of this consciousness leads to the destruction of the origin of heaven and earth.
The second category is where creatures are out of control.
The powerful human race continues to practice and become stronger. Even if you deliberately suppress it, you can't stop the human race from practicing. With the establishment of the way of heaven, the human race has become traceable when practicing. Their top experts can One's own Tao unfolds, complements the Tao of Heaven, and thus obtains a transcendent status.
Once the number of such masters increases and the human race reaches a bottleneck stage, they will blame the law of heaven and feel that it is the law of heaven that has bound them and imprisoned them, and there should be no numerology, so a war breaks out, causing the origin of heaven and earth to be destroyed.
The third category, the spirit of the great road counterattacks the living beings.
That is to say, the old benefit recipients were not eradicated by the law of heaven, and quickly adapted to the rules of the law of heaven, becoming a torrent under the law of heaven, colliding with the living beings, and finally leading to..."
"The origin of heaven and earth is destroyed."
Wu Wan subconsciously answered, and the girl Zhong Ling nodded gently.
Seeing that Wu Wan's eyes were still full of doubts, Zhong Ling continued:
"The last three categories are disasters that you cannot predict now. Let me briefly summarize them: the avenue is out of control and weirdly spreads, the powerful gods of the previous era of gods mutated, and the sudden decline of heaven and earth without logic or reason.
After the birth of myself, more than 500 timelines have been deduced, and everything comes to an end. "
Zhong Ling's words were full of dejection, and the tree floating in front of her began to decline. All timelines converged towards one point, and that point was eternal darkness.
"Master, it's not that I didn't want to tell you this early. If I tell you too early, you won't be able to understand it, and you may even fall into despair prematurely.
Despair is our greatest enemy.
We explored again and again and tried to rush through that dark node, but the final results were almost always in vain. "
The girl Zhong Ling took a breath and said slowly:
"The greater challenge in the future is that from now on, in one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five years, six months and thirty-two days, the origin of heaven and earth will be destroyed, and heaven and earth will return to nothingness.
It is impossible to determine what kind of disaster will occur.
This perfect 'timeline' that you are walking out of now is our only hope.
You don’t know how much your clock did to shape this situation. During the time when you were about to be born, I circled it over and over again in those short few years, repeating it a total of more than 300 times. You pave all roads.
But I can only send you to the point where the complete me is born. "
"The whole you?"
"That is, the moment before the heaven and earth returned to nothingness," Zhong Ling said softly, "Taiyi Dao appeared. You realized Taiyi Dao and entered the realm above the most powerful.
In five hundred and thirty-two timelines, you lived twice, and then you engraved two sentences on me.
And then...you all chose to self-destruct in loneliness. "
After saying that, the big clock behind Zhong Ling girl slowly moved forward, and two overlapping inscriptions slowly emerged from the front, and even the handwriting overlapped.
The outer one is 'Everything is vanity';
The one inside is 'Everything is true'.
Wu Wan sat there in silence for a long time. Donghuang Zhong slowly retreated, and the girl Zhong Ling sat there on her knees, waiting for Wu Wan to speak.
Too much communication gave Wu Wanlue a headache. This was the interference caused by the Great Way of Time.
But Wu Wan quickly used the power of heaven to erase this interference, looked up at Zhong Ling, and said slowly:
"What you mean is that the world will inevitably end, but the situation is uncertain. There seems to be a driving force behind this."
"Master," Zhong Ling said, "there is no push hand, otherwise all the other party's actions should be logical. At least there is no consciousness similar to ours as push hands."
Wu Wang asked again: "Is it possible? This is a question of appearance and essence."
Zhong Ling said softly: "That is a reversal of cause and effect, and the effect determines the cause. This goes against the foundation of the avenue of cause and effect, and also goes against the basis of the existence of facts."
"I'll just sort it out."
Wu Wang rubbed his brow:
“First, the world will be destroyed at the same time due to some internal reasons. The path to destruction is not certain, but destruction is inevitable.
Second, if you realize the Great Way of Taiyi, you can overcome this disaster.
Third, the Great Way of Taiyi can only be revealed at the moment before the destruction of heaven and earth, when everything returns to chaos. The possibility of me realizing this way is extremely low, only about 0.4%. "
"Yes."
Zhong Ling gave Wu Wan a thumbs up: "You are indeed my master."
"I think this question is too much," Wu Wan wondered. "The destruction of heaven and earth will lead to the unification of all things, so there is a chance to realize Taiyi, and Taiyi is the only solution to this problem.
For example, only if I kill a dragon can I get the dragon-slaying sword from the dragon's body? "
"That's right," Zhong Ling girl pursed her lips, "This world is just too much. I have tried to communicate with heaven and earth countless times, and I have tried various methods but can't get a response."
Wu Wan whispered: "The problem now is how to complete the dragon slaying without getting the sword."
"Or," Zhong Ling whispered, "you can lower your demands on yourself and not save the world, but leave protecting your loved ones, relatives and friends that you can protect.
As long as you can find a road comparable to Taiyi and transcend this world when it is destroyed, you can complete this mission. "
The corners of Wu Wan's mouth twitched a few times: "That's really a good suggestion."
"Yes, it is."
"speak nicely!"
"Hey, yes," Zhong Ling whispered, "because you like to quarrel with Master Suqing. This may relieve your pressure..."
"Feel sorry."
Wu Wan sighed: "This problem is really difficult, and even if you tell me, I can't tell anyone else."
"But Master, we have more opportunities now."
Zhong Ling said softly:
“There is nothing that can be adjusted about this sacred and perfect timeline.
Emperor Kuang was plotted by me and became the human nature of Zhulong. In fact, I gave Zhulong a soul that was relatively easy to understand and control, and used Emperor Kuang to suppress the avenue of chaos.
In order to achieve this goal, I once intervened in the hexagrams of Emperor Fuxi. "
Wu Wan raised his head suddenly and stared at Zhong Ling.
There was a hint of guilt on Zhong Ling's pretty face.
"I come to be your humanity.
This sentence may sound very emotional, but in fact, it is just a necessary preparation for a perfect timeline.
Emperor Fuxi once had the same enlightenment as Shennong, but he would eventually fail in Emperor Kuang's plan and cause hidden damage to Emperor Kuang. This hidden damage also guarantees your victory in most timelines.
When I first reshaped the timeline, I continued to extend this idea and helped Emperor Fuxi suppress Emperor Kuang to death, but every time you had to experience too many joys and sorrows.
Growth comes at a cost.
Only this time, I changed my mind and unexpectedly calculated a perfect timeline.
Intervene with Fuxi and let Fuxi become Emperor Kuang's human nature, trying to change Emperor Kuang;
But Fuxi himself is a living being and is not perfect. His flaw lies in his long-standing regret that he cannot break through the shackles of Xinhuo Avenue.
Then, I calculated step by step, surpassed the entire Shennong opportunity, and finally used the resonance of the avenue of time to drive Di Kuang crazy. "
"Can you reshape the timeline?"
"How else do you accomplish the backtracking?"
Wu Wan was startled for a moment, frowning and staring at Zhong Ling.
Zhong Ling whispered:
"The me you see was born from Taiyi.
The me who was born on that original timeline and followed you in your battles is not complete.
My spirituality only exists in the past, because after I was truly born, I was sent back to the past by Taiyi Dao. I have been moving against the current from the point of destruction of heaven and earth, trying to modify everything and help you break through the difficulties.
You don’t have to be surprised by my abilities, because they are your gifts.
You don’t have to accuse me of doing too many things. Everything is guided by your will.
Master, you now have conditions that are not available in any other timeline. This is the first time that Tiandao has reached such a scale at this point in time.
If you can gather all the great avenues between heaven and earth, the Great One Way will manifest itself.
The most ideal solution to this problem is not necessarily Taiyi. There is still the possibility of the evolution of heaven and the embodiment of the will of heaven and earth.
Or, you solved the ultimate problem and achieved the transcendence like the Virgin Mother Nuwa.
And, Master, I told you a long time ago what this dilemma is. "
"Um?"
Wu Wan, who was thinking quickly, was stunned for a moment and asked, "When did you tell me?"
"A long time ago," Zhong's smile showed a bit of pride, "When I showed my figure in front of you for the first time, I conveyed a special Tao charm. You should have formed an idea subconsciously at that time.
This seems to be the end of time.
The end of time does not mean that time loses its meaning, the end of time and space, and the destruction of heaven and earth.
I also conveyed this idea to you when you reshaped it three times. "
Wu Wang:......
"You think you're funny?"
"No, Master."
"Go ahead, I'm starting to have a headache," Wu Wan sighed softly, "Nineteen hundred years, it takes three thousand paths to be enlightened."
Ah, I'm starting to despair.
