Chapter 695: God’s Will is Unpredictable

Chu Tai didn't say much afterwards, but Huoranzi could guess that if it really came to that, Chu Tai would most likely kill him.

After Chu Tai finished saying this, he silently calculated the changes in cause and effect.

Under the magical method of forming relationships with the Heavenly Fox, it was difficult for the many changes in causes and conditions to be hidden from his eyes. Combined with the perception and control of "fate" under the system of Lord Xiang and Lady Xiang, Chu Tai quickly found the problem.

'It is indeed the power left by Cang Qingshi, one of the twenty-two post-saint emperors. The principles contained in it are indeed mysterious. As fate would have it, it can naturally affect a person's emotions, silently amplify individual emotions, expand certain prejudices, and make everything move in the direction of destiny as much as possible.'

Chu Tai also realized that his current problem was ultimately due to the fact that the identity and form he used originated from this virtual world.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s fortunate that you chose the Yang Shen Dharma Body instead of the real physical body. Otherwise, the impact would be more difficult to detect and the degree would be more serious.

But now that Chu Tai has noticed it, it will be very simple to find the source of the influence of karma.

In the final analysis, the fact that the eight immortals came to the world in this cycle is totally inconsistent with the main theme of this cycle, in order to prevent the eight immortals from interfering with the subsequent 108 demonic disasters.

In order to ensure that the main theme of this cycle is not affected, in Chu Tai's deduction, the triple destiny network seems to bring up some of the Eight Immortals' experiences of enlightenment in the second layer, covering the falling Eight Immortals' spiritual light.

However, these experiences are not complete and can easily interfere with the self-cognition of those who have achieved success in spiritual practice. In order to deal with this situation, the Destiny Net also divided the power of the Eight Immortals into two, half of which was stored in magic weapons, and the other half was sealed in the bodies of reincarnated people to prevent them from noticing anything wrong.

Chu Tai's previous actions could be considered an instinctive backlash from his spirit after it sensed the influence of fate.

"I asked Lü Yan and Han Zhongli to perform corpse transformation, which in a way helped them to briefly see the influence of the fate net, giving them the opportunity to jump out and become a being similar to the wandering earth immortal. It seems that my help to them is beyond my original expectations."

Chu Tai muttered secretly, and at the same time increased his influence on the seven immortals, intending to take this opportunity, using the Eight Immortals as an opportunity, to observe the changes in the fate network brought about by these beings after they have figured out the fate.

The web of cause and effect in the dark also sensed that something was wrong. Under the perception of the Heavenly Fox's magical method of forming connections, Chu Tai could feel many causes and effects emerging from the second web of life and converging on seven people including Lu Yan and Han Zhongli. Countless causes and effects overlapped and were embedded in each other, which allowed Chu Tai to further understand cause and effect.

I even have some new understanding of the Dao Fruit fragments of [Inversion (Two Sons of Heaven)] under the system of Xiang Jun and Xiang Furen.

Chu Tai fed back these insights to seven people including Lu Yan and Han Zhongli. Among them, Han Xiangzi, Zhang Guolao, Tieguai Li, Lan Caihe and He Xiangu still had their physical bodies, so although they had the insights, they could not break free.

In comparison, Han Zhongli's physical body was directly destroyed by Chu Tai, leaving only a remnant soul that merged with the spiritual light in the magic cattail fan. It was easier for him to break free from the influence of the fate. With the help of some [inversion] magic ideas transmitted by Chu Tai, he completely broke free from the constraints of fate and reconstructed his physical body by mixing the positive yang essence with the essence of fire.

During the whole process, flames circulated around his body, and the cause and effect faded away. Instead, there was a bit of the aura of the karmic fire lotus that Chu Tai had previously comprehended and condensed.

The one who completed the transformation faster than Han Zhongli was Lu Yan. He was extremely talented and had a high level of comprehension. Although he did not disappear like Han Zhongli, and was created from nothing, so he was the least affected, he had also lost the constraints of his physical body, and it was much easier for him to deal with it than Han Xiangzi and others.

It was this special state between life and death that allowed him to grasp the true meaning of the [Inversion] method, and even see the confusion of fate and the confusion of reality in this world. Outside of the ordinary world, the soul should be more susceptible to fate, but in this illusory world, the soul is actually closer to reality, and the body is closer to illusion. Therefore, the body is more likely to become a means for karma to affect individuals. This is a kind of inversion.

Secondly, as the spiritual light and soul merged, Lu Yan's past and present lives began to become confused, and the past life gradually became dominant, which can also be regarded as a kind of reversal.

Once again, with the recovery of his magic power, Lu Yan's aura of death began to subside, and there were signs of rebirth. This was still a kind of reversal.

With multiple insights, Lu Yan transformed his physical body into pure Yang Qi and reshaped it into pure Qi. He broke free from the shackles of fate and bowed to Chu Tai, saying, "Thank you for your help. If you need me to do anything in the future, I, Lu Dongbin, will definitely help you with all my strength."

Seeing this, Huo Ranzi widened his eyes and asked in surprise, "Hey, you actually broke free from the shackles of fate and saw the truth?"

Hearing this, Lü Dongbin gave a bitter smile and said, "Master, please stop laughing at me. You must have laughed at us, the Eight Immortals, for many years. What is this all about?"

When he said this, Lü Dongbin obviously thought of what he had done in this life, and said helplessly: "If we haven't really started yet, I don't know how to face you fellow immortals. Otherwise, I'd better find a place to die quietly."

Hearing this, Chu Tai pointed out a problem expressionlessly.

"Although you haven't taken action yet, the fact that you sent the tsunamis into another country has already caused a change in destiny. Regardless of whether you set up an array or not, the two countries will inevitably fight a war. You will suffer the consequences of this karma."

"It's Dongbin's fault."

Lü Dongbin apologized repeatedly, but Xu Ranzi defended him: "Although Fellow Daoist Lü was wrong this time, it was not that serious. Regardless of whether he took action today or not, the current fate of the two countries, the population of each region, and the disasters derived from the 108 Demon Stars will push the two countries to fight again. What he did at most accelerated the process. If it could be resolved in one go, maybe fewer people would die."

Hearing this, Chu Tai fell silent. He naturally knew that what Lu Dongbin did was actually in line with the trend of karma and destiny.

After all, the civil and military officials in the Central Plains today are extraordinary. They are all reincarnations of immortals and can maintain peace for a long time. But now the one hundred and eight demons have come to the world ahead of schedule, and there must be a conflict between the two.

Therefore, the girls who were reincarnated from thirty or forty flowers and the reincarnation of the eight immortals became a means for fate to force the civil and military officials of the Central Plains to abdicate early.

This kind of interference and power is extremely unpredictable.

But Chu Tai couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, disgusted with the fact that fate was driving everything and trying to control everything.

"Under such circumstances, do all living beings have any choice? I'm afraid that all starting points are also ending points..."
