Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 691 Dragon and Tiger

The Taoist boy remained silent for a long time in response to Chu Tai's question.

This is also a question that Xiandao has been exploring and thinking about for many years.

Which one is the main one in the past and present life?

According to the theory of innate spirituality, a person in past and present life seems to be able to solve this problem, but all spirituality originates from the Supreme Taoist Ancestor. Then, does it mean that everyone should be regarded as the Taoist Ancestor, with no autonomy or independence at all?
According to the theory of memory and emotion, the past life and the present life must be two different individuals, and the two should be in an inheritance relationship rather than a unified relationship.

This is the legitimacy of Chu Tai's behavior.

Since the reincarnated flowers did not inherit their powers and blessings, they should not inherit their karma and sins.

Now that the reincarnated flowers have inherited the karma and sins of their previous lives, they should have the right to gain power and the right to choose their own future.

Of course, what Chu Tai gave was only the simplest right to choose. How far one can go in the future, and whether what exists in the world in the end is the returning past life, the present life, or a combination of past and present lives, that is the personal fate of the practitioner, and it is not something that Chu Tai can or should interfere with.

Therefore, after a long silence, the Taoist boy said softly: "You are kind after all. This makes us look a little old-fashioned."

"The Heavenly Master is well-informed and compassionate. He thinks more and naturally cares more about the overall situation. After all, my actions may easily lead to the collapse of the whole."

Chu Tai looked towards the void, at the constantly changing web of fate. Although it was only a little bit, as the Lin and Xue families gradually deviated from their original trajectories, the operation of the future 108 demonic powers was also affected to a certain extent and was making corresponding changes. The price of these changes was a new number of casualties.

Chu Tai could vaguely see that the number of casualties in the future would be several times more than the original future, which was also the reason why the Taoist boy came here.

He was worried that Chu Tai's actions would cause more changes, causing the originally good future to completely collapse and leading to more deaths.

"Are you complimenting me, or are you hinting that I look down on ordinary people and sit back and watch those girls suffer?"

The Taoist boy chuckled and without waiting for Chu Tai to answer, he said, "Well, this time I came here, first to see if you are lucky enough to disrupt fate, and second to see if you can join forces."

"Since you want to allow those flower fairies to reincarnate with the right to choose, I wonder if you are willing to allow all living beings to have a chance to choose as well?"

Chu Tai fell silent upon hearing this, and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean, fellow Daoist?"

The Taoist boy chuckled and raised his hand to make a magic seal. The seal was as white as ice and snow, seven points thick, three and a half inches long, and had a golden dragon button. As soon as it appeared, a force rushed straight into the sky, like the first ray of morning light, vast but not sharp, broad but soothing. Wherever it passed, strips of purple air fluttered up and down, like chains blocking the void, sweeping away all external forces, and sealing the existing qi.

"Yangping Zhidu Gongyin. Huoranzi, you actually took this out of Longhu Mountain? If people knew about this, you would not have a good ending even if you were Zhang Tianshi of this generation."

A hint of solemnity appeared in Chu Tai's eyes, and he directly stated the other party's identity.

After all, this Yangping Zhidu Gongyin can command 36,000 gods. It is the treasure of the Zhengyi Sect and the symbol of Zhang Tianshi's status and power in Taoism. It is usually the center of many formations in Longhu Mountain. Every time it is taken out, it is not a small matter. To put it bluntly, if this thing is completely untied, it is possible to force Chu Tai out of this world.

Huoranzi did not answer Chu Tai's question, but asked his own questions.

"You came from the outer space, so you should be able to see clearly that the world is repeating itself in an endless cycle. It seems to last forever, but in fact, it has reached a deadlock. If there is no change, it will inevitably turn into nothingness in the long cycle. Therefore, I would like to ask for your help to help us break this endless cycle."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tai did not answer immediately, but instead asked, "Where does the cycle come from?"

Huo Ranzi glanced at Chu Tai. His question was very clever and difficult to answer, because Huo Ranzi himself had not figured out the reason for so many years, but he still told Chu Tai what he knew.

"In my opinion, the world we are in now should have five operating centers."

"There are two in heaven, one is the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, and the other is the Demon-Subduing Master. These two are the energy mechanism of the changes of yin and yang. They are not only the source of the current calamity of the flower fairies, but also the root of the future changes of the 108 demon stars."

"There are two on earth. One is the wandering immortals of the earth, which are people like you and me who have achieved success in cultivation. The other is the magical treasure that suppresses the earth. The Yangping Zhidu Gongyin is a typical example."

"The one remaining human being is the web of fate that is interwoven among the myriad living beings."

Chu Tai was not surprised by Lady of the West and Lord Exorcist, and the rest of the destiny was also within his guess. However, the wandering immortals and the magical treasures that symbolized the earth were something he couldn't understand.

Chu Tai raised his doubts, and Xu Ranzi smiled and said, "I didn't think of it at first, but later I carefully recalled the cycles and found that those of us who remember the past and retain our rationality in the cycle are also stabilizing the cycle. Our existence itself is one of the foundations that anchor the cycle."

"By the way, if the two who left earlier were more sober, they would become like you and me. So don't blame me for sitting back and doing nothing. Many times, I saved someone once, and it would happen again next time. After so many times, no one can stand it anymore, so they start to think, out of sight, out of mind."

Chu Tai fell silent after hearing this. He could understand Huo Ranzi, but the next moment, he thought of another thing.

"Wait, I'm the Earth Wandering Fairy?"

Chu Tai didn't say all his words, but his meaning was very clear. According to what Xu Ranzi said before, Chu Tai should be a variable. How could he become the foundation of the cycle of this illusory world?
"That's right. From the moment you succeeded in your cultivation and mastered the righteous laws of heaven and earth, becoming one of the myriad things in the universe, you have been one of the foundations that maintain the cycle."

Huoranzi directly stated that he was not wrong and explained the relationship in detail.

"Just as the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens and the Lord of Exorcism are the qi of each other's yin and yang changes, nurturing vitality in the harmony of yin and yang, and eliminating the evil spirit with the changes of the two yin and yang; we, the living beings on earth, and all things in the universe are also yin and yang to each other. We remember the changes of all things, and all things shape our bodies; finally, heaven and earth and human beings are also yin and yang to each other..."

After listening to this, Chu Tai narrowed his eyes slightly. He found that the contemporary Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain in front of him had a different understanding of this illusory world from his own.
