"Destiny?" Jin Yuanbao asked doubtfully, "What is destiny?"
The Confucian sage took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "The destiny is the destiny. It is the center of an era. It is formed by the needs of the operation of the world. It carries the mission of an era, and you are the destiny of this era. Everything Everything will revolve around you, you are the fourth destiny of this world."
"The fourth one?" Jin Yuanbao asked, "Who are the first three?"
"The first is Taoist, the second is Buddha, and the third is me," Confucian Sage said: "The three of us represent three eras respectively. In our respective eras, we all have our own missions. Daozu's mission is to bring the flame of civilization to this desolate world.
Buddha's mission is to make civilization develop rapidly and advance rapidly, and my mission is to disperse civilization that has reached its limit, forming a situation where a hundred schools of thought contend, and multiple parties advance simultaneously. "
Jin Yuanbao hurriedly asked: "Then what is my mission?"
"I don't know," the Confucian Sage shook his head and said, "Only when you reach the realm and receive the will of the world, will you know what your mission is. However, I also have a guess."
"Please give me some advice from the teacher," Jin Yuanbao said.
The Confucian sage sighed and said: "Originally, destiny should not appear again. One hundred thousand years ago, when I created Confucianism and Taoism and created hundreds of schools of thought, I became connected with the will of the world.
At that time, the will of the world had clearly told me that I was the last destiny, because the world had already taken shape, and there was no need to give birth to destiny anymore. Children of destiny would only be born in different eras, keeping this world alive.
However, a thousand years ago, I contacted the will of the world again, and it told me that the fourth destiny was about to appear. After that, the will of the world never contacted me again. Maybe the birth of the fourth destiny has made this Fangda World is overdrawn! "
Jin Yuanbao frowned. He was confused by what the Confucian sage said. However, he did not rush to ask questions and just listened quietly.
"The will of the world is the law in the operation of the big world, not a living thing. It will only trigger and condense the things the world needs according to specific rules when the world needs it." The Confucian sage continued: "For example, when I became Tianming , it is because in that era, this world needed a hundred flowers to bloom and a hundred schools of thought to contend, so I appeared.
Originally, there should only be three Destinies in this world, but now the fourth one appears. This can only mean that there is a big problem in this world, and a fourth Destiny is needed to save it. But now, the problems in this world , there is only one, that is, this world can no longer bear the covetousness of heaven and wants to save itself! "
Jin Yuanbao was even more confused and couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, what's going on with the way of heaven? Shouldn't it be the same thing as the will of the world?"
The Confucian sage smiled and said: "I thought so too at the beginning. It wasn't until I walked out of the world and went to the sky, and caught a glimpse of the vast sea of the world, that I realized that the will of the world and the way of heaven are completely different. .
The reason why you feel that the will of the world is the way of heaven is because you are deep in the human world and you only see the human world. However, in fact, under the way of heaven, all kinds of worlds are floating in the universe like dust. There are countless worlds in the universe, and the human world is just one of the countless worlds in the infinite universe.
However, worlds also have different sizes. The smallest is the quicksand world, which is also the largest. This kind of world is the most numerous and very small. The small refers to the imperfect rules. Above them are the Small Thousand World, the Middle Thousand World, and the Great Thousand World. , the rules are getting better and better, and they are getting bigger and bigger.
And these worlds have one thing in common, that is, each has its own will of the world, but there is only one way of heaven... so, do you understand? "
Jin Yuanbao's face was full of horror. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and asked: "So, teacher, you said that you have been hunted by Heaven for tens of thousands of years. Is it this Heaven that chased you?"
"Yes, this is the way of heaven," the Confucian sage nodded: "However, it is not as exaggerated as tens of thousands of years. It's just that the flow of time is different. When I ascended to the outside of the sky, I realized that the so-called ascension was just an illusion. A lie compiled by Tiandao in order to cultivate food rations, and he immediately ran away.
It’s impossible for Heaven to only focus on me. In his eyes, it’s like a shepherd letting a flock of sheep out. It’s inevitable that there will be disobedient sheep running around. It just slaps a few whips casually, and I don’t feel too reassured at all. Now, I have a chance to escape back to the human world. The so-called pursuit of tens of thousands of years is just a different flow of time. "
Jin Yuanbao took a deep breath and asked: "Teacher, how big is the way of heaven?"
"This..." The Confucian sage was silent for a while and said: "Can an ant see the vastness of the sky?"
Jin Yuanbao's face was solemn and he said: "Teacher, you said that my mission is probably to save the world. You don't want me to defeat the way of heaven, right?"
"You are overthinking," said the Confucian Sage: "Throwing out the entire human world is not enough for a single blow from Heaven. How could there be such a mission? What you have to face should be a clone of Heaven.
The way of heaven is too big, and it is too far away from all the worlds. In order to better observe, it has placed clones in those worlds that it is interested in. "
Jin Yuanbao suddenly said: "So, my mission is probably to defeat Tiandao's clone, which is equivalent to getting rid of Tiandao's eyes in the world?"
The Confucian Sage nodded, shook his head, and said: "Originally, I thought so, but the events over the years have made me a little confused.
According to the normal trajectory, you should encounter a life-long enemy, that person is the clone of Heaven. You may win or lose, but in this process, on the surface, it is definitely a struggle between two normal people, not Show the destiny and the way of heaven! "
Jin Yuanbao was stunned: "But teacher, you have already told me that I am destined?"
The Confucian Sage nodded and said: "Because, the clone of the Heavenly Dao has restored the Heavenly Dao clone, and it actually tried to send a signal to the outside world today."
Jin Yuanbao wondered: "You are saying that the lifelong enemy who was supposed to fight with me in various ways has regained the consciousness of Heavenly Dao and sent a signal to the Heavenly Dao main body outside the sky, but why does it bother to do this? It has nothing to do with the Heavenly Dao main body. Isn’t it connected?”
"Because it was trapped in the human world by me." Confucian Sage pondered: "I just can't figure out how he could recover. In addition, the operation of the human world these years seems to have nothing to do with your destiny."
Jin Yuanbao touched his chin and said: "Teacher, have you ever thought that maybe Emperor Wu Gu Zhan is the destiny?"
