Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 364 Persuading the Ancient Gods to Surrender

"Some mountains, though seemingly towering, are actually doomed and can never be climbed any higher."

Some are just small mounds now, but who knows if they won't grow into pillars supporting the sky in a few years?
Just like this mountain range before us, which was once inconspicuous, but in just a few thousand years, it has become a place where all other mountains can be seen from a high vantage point.

Of course, many more, like the countless mountains beneath this sea of ​​clouds, can only serve as companion villages from beginning to end, silently gazing up at the mountain peaks above the sea of ​​clouds.

If even mountains are like this, how much more so are people?

Gu Qing's question was actually asking him why, as a god who had accepted offerings from the celestial realm, he hadn't taken action to clean up the mess in the North Sea when trouble broke out, nipping the problem in the bud.

To avoid causing more trouble.

Tianmu's reply was that he was old and believed that the Immortal Clan could solve these problems; after the dust settles, one or two gems will eventually emerge.

The deceased immortals are like mountains; only a few manage to climb to the clouds, while the rest are merely supporting characters. He cannot be a caretaker; the immortals must be self-reliant and strong.

The ancient gods had lifespans as long as heaven and earth, and their divine power was fused with the laws of nature. Apart from the fact that their personal will could die or become lost, they were completely immortal.

Getting old and all that stuff is just nonsense.

It's simply that I'm tired of immortality and feel endless loneliness.

Disillusioned with the world, yet compelled to continue this fateful game due to the will of the ancient gods, they also used the name of destiny to place the burden of fate on the immortals.

Tianmu, meaning to herd livestock on behalf of Heaven.

Such an arrogant pseudonym is precisely proof of the arrogance in his heart.

Gu Qing suddenly had an idea.

"You must be lonely."

Tian Mu paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice.

Who in this world is not lonely?

Gu Qing didn't know how to answer such a question, so he simply explained.

"The Heavenly Dao conceived a god in order to regulate the chaotic laws of the world after the creation of the world and guide the world's rules toward a positive development. It needs a god."

"Therefore, gods are born powerful, are eternal with heaven and earth, their divine power is immortal, and they have completely mastered a law, making them the masters of all things."

The very existence of such power disrupts the order of Heaven, not to mention that the Father God endowed the ancient gods with the seven emotions and six desires.

"When the ancient god was conceived, He had already determined His fate."

Tianmu was puzzled.

"Although I have also wondered why God was given seven emotions and six desires, why is it said that the Father God had already decided the ending."

Seeing that the other party had shown interest, a certain thought in Gu Qing's mind was magnified infinitely: perhaps he could turn this strongest god-king of the six realms against him?
"Tools only malfunction when they develop feelings, right?"

Gu Qing spoke eloquently.

"I have studied the ancient history of the Six Realms. Apart from the Chaos Ancestral Dragon, there are a total of 132 ancient gods in the Mountain and Sea Realm, 98 of whom died due to favoritism and corruption."

"To save lives, we will reverse the cycle of reincarnation."

"To rewrite reality in the face of suffering."

"Intervene in disputes for the sake of friends."

"To become a wife or concubine is to defy fate and change one's destiny."

"To be the ruler of the six realms for one's offspring..."

"The ancient gods would always rely on their divine power to change the normal operation of the world's rules because of their emotions and desires. Thus, the Heavenly Way had a legitimate reason to take back its power."

"The number of ancient gods is decreasing, and the Blood Sea Demon Lords have a grand ambition to destroy the world. The remaining thirty-odd ancient gods almost all perished in this way."

"Tell me, why does the demon possess such immense power, comparable to that of the ancient gods?"

Tianmu closed his eyes and pondered.

"The help of the Blood Sea Consciousness?"

"That's right. The birth of the Six Realms is all under the control of the Heavenly Dao. Why do you think He would allow a second consciousness to be born within a body?"

"Erase the ancient gods."

"Yes, tools are always just tools. Once they no longer have a reason to exist, we will naturally try to get rid of them to maintain the orderly operation of the world."

"This is His instinct, His destiny set at the very beginning of His conception." "The Demon Lords want to destroy the Six Realms and recreate the chaos. In essence, they want the Blood Sea Will to usurp the throne and replace the Heavenly Dao. They want to receive the same treatment as the ancient gods and become the masters of the laws of nature."

Gu Qing said a lot in one breath, and Tian Mu, as a god, actually knew some of the information very well.

However, they lack an understanding of the world and the natural order.

The Heavenly Dao itself is a cold and ruthless operating machine that only maintains the orderly operation of the world's rules according to instinct. In this case, the ancient gods of the Mountain and Sea Realm call it the Father God.

This can be seen.

Their lack of common sense and understanding about spiritual practice left them powerless to resist or comprehend; they could only weep in sorrow and blame the Father God for being heartless.

If Heaven had feelings, it too would grow old; if the Way of Heaven were to develop consciousness, it would be no good for anything in the world.

long silence.

Tianmu asked, "Fengxuan, how did you find out all this?"

“Do you remember what I just said? There was one exception among the ancient gods.”

"The Primordial Dragon of Chaos!"

"He abandoned his physical body and divine consciousness, and was reborn in his descendants with a small part of his primordial spirit. In the end, he left the Mountain and Sea Realm and went to the Ruins of Return."

"Return to the Ruins?"

"Yes, Guixu is like an ocean, and Shanhaijie is like a raft drifting on the ocean, but there is more than one raft."

"There's always a way to solve the problem of the mountain and sea boundary."

Gu Qing didn't say it explicitly, but the implied information was enough. Tian Mu, who had lived from that era to the present, would naturally understand whether what he said was true or false.

The cultivators of the Cangwu Realm definitely have the right to speak on the study of the Heavenly Dao.

The [Ascension Path] derived from the Four Nine Immortal Paths is the best proof of this. It has basically figured out the nature of the Heavenly Dao, which is incomparable to these people.

Today's conversation has come to a temporary end. Give Tianmu some time; he will think things through. If he seeks change, Gu Qing's opportunity will come.

I can't even imagine what it would feel like to be betrayed by the strongest traitor in the Six Realms. Even the Heavenly Father would feel gratified, wouldn't he?

at this time.

Qing Shu and Tu Shan Yue returned from hunting, carrying three plump pheasants. One of them was arrogant, while the other acted as a laborer, much to the latter's dissatisfaction.

Upon entering, she immediately complained to Tianmu about Tu Shanyue's various acts of bullying.

Tianmu was deeply disturbed and suffered a great shock.

He couldn't help but show a hint of affection and patted Qing Shu's head.

"I've wronged you."

Qing Shu was taken aback, then blushed and explained.

"It's not that sad, it's just that the stinky fox is always showing off, which is annoying."

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm still here, little shepherd. Turn them into roast chicken, and I'll forgive you."

Tianmu: "..."

Gu Qing: "..."

So, this is what life is all about.

evening.

A bedroom was arranged for Gu Qing, and he settled in for the time being. Tu Shanyue's marriage was on a completely different level compared to Tian Mu's.

It's unrealistic to expect to postpone it until after the Jade Pool Banquet.

Fifty years in the Immortal Realm, five hundred years in the Mortal Realm. From the beginning, Gu Qing never thought he could complete Lei Zun's request.

I just came to let Tu Shanyue know and do her a favor.

If it comes in handy in the future, I'll take the opportunity to visit the Azure Palace to collect the accumulated power of vows. Meeting Tianmu was an unexpected bonus.

Indeed, one must travel around to gain more insights.
