Zi Shou was greatly shocked by the truth told by Meng Qi. Although he had some guesses in advance, he still looked shocked when the truth turned out to be what he thought.
Meng Qi looked at Zi Shou with a smile and said, "Is the prison warden surprised?"
"With the Lord Warden's knowledge and wisdom, I should have already guessed."
There was no sarcasm in his words, but it still made Zi Shou's lips tremble slightly.
Zi Shou instantly restrained his other thoughts. He took a deep look at Meng Qi and then said, "How did you learn about this news? How did you learn about something that I, as a prison warden, cannot know?" "
There was a look of nostalgia and sadness in Meng Qi's eyes, as if he was trapped in a burst of past memories and couldn't extricate himself.
Zishou did not rush Meng Qi, but waited patiently and quietly.
The battle in the Earthly Immortal Realm has ended, and all the invading gods and demons have been wiped out by Meng Qi.
Although the deputy leader of the First Legion of Chaos Kirin has completely exposed the sign of the prehistoric era to all the gods and demons in the entire chaos, it will take time for these gods and demons to reach the prehistoric era.
In a short period of time, Honghuang has been safe and can develop with peace of mind for a period of time.
So he also had a lot of time to slowly communicate with Meng Qi.
After a long time.
Only then did Meng Qi's eyes regain clarity. He raised his head and showed an apologetic smile to Zi Shou, saying, "I've kept the warden waiting for a long time."
He paused for a moment, and then said: "I wonder if the prison warden knows my experience?"
Zishou did not avoid this question. He found that Meng Qi did know a lot of things, which was of great help to him in understanding the Ancient Imperial Prison, so he did not mind exposing some of his secrets in front of the other party.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
, no loss, no consumption, greatly improving the origin of chaotic creatures. "
Zi Shou's expression changed slightly.
Through the World Tree, he has understood everything that happened in the earth and immortal world. Naturally, he knows a thing or two about the reasons for the madness of the chaos gods and demons when he restored the world.
He also knew that truly creating a world was completely different from creating a world or a holy city of gods and demons out of chaos.
Shou already knew that the true creation of the world would attract the covetousness of gods and demons, but he understood another meaning from Meng Qi's words.
He looked into Meng Qi's eyes and asked, "It's not just the chaotic creatures that are targeting the origin of the world, right?"
"The existence that caused you to fail in creating the world was not those chaotic creatures."
Meng Qi had a look of surprise on his face, obviously he didn't expect Zishou to grasp the metaphor in his words so accurately.
He shook his head, smiled hoarsely, and said: "Master Warden is worthy of being a warden, he is thoughtful and considerate."
He nodded again as he spoke, confirming Zi Shou's guess, and said: "Yes, the existences that focus on the origin of the world are not just chaotic creatures. But I can't tell what they are, I don't know."
"I only know that something is stopping me, tearing the world I created into pieces, breaking all cause and effect, and ruining all the efforts of sentient beings in countless eras."
Speaking of this, Meng Qi's face, which had always been indifferent and calm, also showed a hint of gnashing of teeth.
After a long time, he spoke again: "Master Warden, after I failed to create the world, all the powerful people on the Doomsday Ship gave up their lives."
"They tried everything to get me here. Let me seek relief here, let me find answers here."
He looked at Zi Shou and said word by word: "Master Warden, the Ancient Imperial Prison is not a prison. This is the end of Tao Fruit, a place of cause and effect between existence and non-existence."
"The Ancient Imperial Prison is a prison, the prison of every prisoner's heart."
"The so-called calamity is not a calamity of killing, but the cause and effect that binds you. It is the thing deep down in your heart that you cannot let go of."
"The murders and calamities of the previous inmates were eliminated, but it was just their own imagination."
Zi Shou's eyes slowly opened wide. At this moment, he finally had a deeper understanding of the Ancient Imperial Prison and all the prisoners.
His thoughts swept around, and he could clearly sense four other extremely shocked consciousnesses.
Those were Hong Yi, Fang Yun, Meng Hao, and Wang Teng.
Although they could not come in person, the four of them still had some consciousness in the Ancient Emperor Prison to listen to the conversation between Zi Shou and Meng Qi.
This was done with the tacit consent of the Son, so there was no hindrance to their listening.
At this moment, they were all shocked when they heard the truth about the Ancient Imperial Prison and the secrets closely related to themselves.
As the children of destiny in the whole world, they know very well that the cause and effect that they are aware of can be easily solved, but the cause and effect that cannot even be noticed by their own consciousness is very difficult to solve.
They are indeed out of prison now, but they have not truly left the Ancient Imperial Prison.
Compared with the inmate in Cell No. Geng who returned to his original world with ease, strictly speaking, they just changed their way of going to jail.
Therefore, they are still in the prison of their hearts.
But they have no idea what their inner prison is.
Hong Yi and the three people who were recuperating in Chaoge City looked at each other, and they all saw extreme shock in each other's eyes.
It is not a good thing for a Taoist or enlightened person to be unable to understand even his own heart.
However, after all, they are the children of destiny in this world, and they are powerful people who have gone through countless hardships to reach their current achievements.
After a brief shock, they quickly calmed down.
No matter what, knowing this now has pointed them in a direction.
In the "E" cell.
Zi Shou's mood also experienced ups and downs, but he quickly suppressed all his thoughts. He looked at Meng Qi, slowly spoke, and said:
"In this case, fellow Taoist Meng Qi, the only way you can eliminate the catastrophe is to figure it out yourself, and the only way you can figure it out is to create the world."
Meng Qi nodded heavily, and all the sentimentality and nostalgia in his eyes turned into obsession and determination: "That's exactly it."
Zishou looked at Meng Qi, and after a long time he said with a smile but not a smile: "In that case, I can't help you "eliminate your sins", you have to find a way yourself. "
Meng Qi smiled hoarsely and said, "The warden is joking. After becoming the warden, this is your responsibility, isn't it?"
He knew very well what Zishou meant when he said "cannot help."
Zi Shou was worried that his creation of a new world near the prehistoric times would attract some uncontrollable beings.
He looked into Zi Shou's eyes and said, "Master Warden, I will never let the Great Desolate World become the next world to be destroyed."
"I have experienced it before, and I will never let the same thing happen in the wild."
Only when you have lost everything can you understand the suffering of all sentient beings more clearly.
Zi Shou laughed. He believed Meng Qi's promise, because the other party was not only promising to him, but also to the warden of the Ancient Imperial Prison.
Even Hong Yi and the three former prisoners who have been released from prison cannot escape this cause and effect.
After a pause, he said: "Then, the cause and effect you used to kill all the chaotic gods and demons before, you call the Ancient Imperial Prison the final place of cause and effect."
"Are these causes and effects the same as the ancient path of cause and effect?"
He has mastered the complete Avenue of Cause and Effect through the World Tree, and Jin Chanzi also comprehended the Avenue of Cause and Effect under the World Tree.
However, neither he nor Jin Chanzi could achieve the stunning blow that Meng Qi had done before.
That blow was cause and effect.
But it is not the cause and effect of prehistoric times.
Just like the Ancient Imperial Prison is the ultimate place of cause and effect, but it is definitely not the cause and effect that all sentient beings understand.
Meng Qi smiled slightly and said, "Master Warden, you have already answered, haven't you?"
"The prisoners in the Ancient Imperial Prison were locked up by the "existence" in the Imperial Prison. In the opinion of the prison warden, is this existence the primordial spirit? True spirit? cause and effect? memory? history? then what? "
Zishou also smiled, and another doubt he had always had in his mind was answered.
The avenues of the prehistoric era, and even all the avenues in the entire chaos beyond the prehistoric era, are only the avenues that can be understood by sentient beings and gods and demons at this level.
Above that, there are higher levels.
It's just that that level is unknowable and unpredictable to the sentient beings and gods and demons at the current level.
The only way to describe this is: "existence".
Meng Qi saw the understanding look on Zi Shou's face and smiled. With a wave of his hand, he saw that the originally empty cell turned into a quiet room.
A square table appeared in front of him and Zishou.
There are sandalwood birds on the table, and the fragrance is overwhelming.
A teapot and a pair of ancient teacups appeared on the table.
Meng Qi smiled and said, "The warden has the best Yggdrasil tea, so I won't show my shame. Why don't we sit down and drink tea and talk slowly?"
The corner of Zi Shou's mouth twitched slightly. This was the first time he had seen this kind of teapot and teacup, but no tea.
But he didn't care. He smiled gently and waved his hand, and the best Yggdrasil tea appeared in the teapot.
Suddenly, the room was filled with the aroma of tea.
Meng Qi personally poured a cup of tea for Zi Shou, and then said: "Master Warden, the prehistoric world is the real world created by Pangu, and it also has the origin of the world."
"However, when you restored the world, did you discover the origin of the world?"
Zi Shou shook his head.
He was also feeling strange about this matter.
When he first learned about the existence of the world's origin from the Chaos Gods and Demons, he was also curious as to why he didn't discover the world's origin at all.
Now that Meng Qi reminded him, he became even more confused.
He looked at Meng Qi and said, "What will the origin of the world be like?"
Meng Qi said with a smile in his eyes: "It can be any existence."
"Perhaps it is a place of heaven and earth, or a race, or a certain great power, or even the first ray of light between heaven and earth."
"The origin of the world can be any existence. No description can describe it specifically, but any living being will know what it is the moment it sees the origin of the world."
Zi Shou's expression changed slightly.
Can the origin of the world be any existence?
So what is the origin of the prehistoric world?
Samcheong?
Monster clan?
Witch clan?
Human race?
Innate spiritual roots?
The will of heaven?
Won't.
Since sentient beings will naturally know the origin of the world when they see it, then none of what they think of can be the origin of the world.
Meng Qi spoke again at this time and reminded: "Master Warden, it was originally destined for the Great Desolate World. Kyushu was supposed to be broken, and the Earthly Immortal Realm was refined into four major continents, which became the place where the calamity of Journey to the West took place."
"If a world with its origin loses its origin, it will be wiped out in an instant. However, even in its original destiny, the prehistoric world has not been truly destroyed."
"This shows that the origin is not in the original human world. It is either in the hands of Hongjun or in the earthly immortal world."
Zi Shou looked shocked, and things he had always ignored came to his mind.
Indeed, in the original prehistoric destiny, the Journey to the West Tribulation, the Demon Buddha Tribulation, and the Tiantiao Tribulation Tribulation also occurred one after another in the Earthly Immortal Realm.
Although Luohuang as a whole has been declining, it has not been destroyed.
This proves that the origin of the prehistoric world has always existed.
Could it be that the origin of the prehistoric world is the Book of the Earth, the Classic of Mountains and Seas?
Zi Shou raised his head and looked at the Earthly Immortal Realm with a somewhat strange look on his face. He slowly said, "Hongjun disappeared, Hongtian was captured, and the Earthly Immortal Realm became a battlefield between gods and demons."
"On the contrary, Zhen Yuanzi and Di Shu disappeared. Xuandu searched the entire Earth Immortal Realm but could not find Zhen Yuanzi."
"The Earthly Immortal Realm is just a fragment that was blasted out of the original world. A year of war between gods and demons has not destroyed it. The stability of this heaven and earth cannot be achieved by a fragment of heaven and earth."
Speaking of which.
Zi Shou recalled being in his original destiny.
During his journey to the west, Zhen Yuanzi single-handedly joined forces with Buddhism, Taoism and Xuanmen to drink and discuss Taoism with Sanqing.
Is Zhen Yuanzi really just a Hunyuan Golden Immortal?
The corners of Zi Shou's mouth slowly curved with interest. He smiled slightly and said, "It seems that the prehistoric era is not as simple as I thought."
"This world is more interesting."
This ancient imperial prison is becoming more and more mysterious.
Although Zi Shou understands why sinners in prison can be released from prison by eliminating the cause and effect.
Because this is the emperor's own prison.
The fate of cause and effect is the inner demon of the protagonists in all worlds.
This is the prison of the heart.
Therefore, eliminating calamity means eliminating inner demons.
But since the Ancient Imperial Prison is a prison of the heart, why would people like Hong Yi appear here at the same time.
Why did the Ancient Imperial Prison come into being?
The more he learned about the Ancient Imperial Prison, the more he felt that it was full of secrets and fog.
He once thought that these people, including the Ancient Imperial Prison, were all born because of his consciousness, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case.
Because Emperor Huang Tian's cell was empty.
He looked at the empty cell with dark eyes.
It reminds me of a technique that Emperor Huangtian fought in bloody battles for eternity.
He is at ease.
