Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 852 Taiqing Tian Lun Donghuang
"What exactly do you want to do?"

Looking at the departing Immortal Venerable Yuanshi and Immortal Venerable Tongtian, Chu Tai turned around and looked at the Immortal Venerable Daode.

"We have tried this over 48,000 times in the past. Each time the time period runs, it can be as long as 80,000 years or as short as less than 10,000 years. Everything in the world will return to chaos."

The Immortal Venerable Daode raised his hand and tapped lightly, and the twelve Earthly Branches were derived, from Zi, which gave birth to Yang energy, to Hai, which returned to chaos.

"It was not until the last 1,750 times ago that the cycle was pushed back to once every 129,600 years, combined with the changes in the Earthly Branches."

"Success is also due to the Earthly Branches, and failure is also due to the Earthly Branches. The cycle will eventually stop at one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years and will never go any further. Even the hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years itself has become a fixed number."

"In the more than 1,700 cycles since then, we have tried our best but to no avail. Therefore, we thought it would be better to give up our position and see if Emperor Sun can make further progress."

The answer from the Immortal Lord of Morality made Chu Tai couldn't help but sneer.

"Since you have exhausted all possibilities, you must have done something similar in the past. Did it work then? Or do you think Taiyi can surpass you by a lot and accomplish what you have not accomplished?"

"Tai Yi is the cycle within the world after all. If it were really useful, you wouldn't have kept forcing me, hoping to keep me in the world."

Chu Tai paused and proposed a possibility: "To put it bluntly, you are tired and exhausted."

"This is not."

The Immortal Lord of Morality shook his head and looked into the void. His eyes penetrated the infinite cosmic light and saw almost infinite possibilities.

"Your Dao Fruit has brought more choices and more possibilities. Many people have new choices. How can they be tired?"

Chu Tai still didn't believe it, and he started to refute it.

"It's only nearly infinite. No matter how many possibilities I provide for sentient beings, they will eventually face their destined death, and eventually the entire time period will enter a new cycle."

Chu Tai looked towards the almost endless future.

"As long as there is a final destination, then no matter how many changes there are, there will be an end. You have actually tried to make changes. Those dead souls that come from memories and have no innate spiritual light are the products of your attempts."

"That's right. Daoist Yuanshi was able to influence Taiyi Tong'er for this reason. After all, Daoist Yuanshi was the one who presided over the birth of these variables."

Immortal Daode smiled, and then said with some regret: "It's a pity that their existence is just like your choice, and cannot shake the future."

"Haha, fellow Daoist, you are not a mediocre person, how could you say such a stupid thing. I give sentient beings the opportunity to choose more futures. It is never to let sentient beings choose an easy and correct path, but to let them see more possibilities and make more judgments based on themselves."

"As for shaking the future, all living beings are part of the universe. The choices of all living beings are also the choices of the universe."

The Immortal Venerable Daode's eyes changed slightly, and the black and white colors turned: "The choice of heaven and earth? Isn't it to allow all living beings to choose a good and correct path? So, in your opinion, the choice is more important than the result?"

Chu Tai looked at the strange light in the eyes of the Immortal Lord of Morality and said coldly, "Is the choice more important, or is the outcome more important? Even such a question has come up?"

"Without choices, there is no ending. Without an ending in sight, how many people will make a firm choice?"

"Isn't the current choice based on the previous outcome?"

"People who care about the ending, will they not care about the choice? People who care about the choice, will they not care about the ending?" Finally, Chu Tai smiled and said, "As for a better future, I'm tired of hearing about this topic. What's the point of agonizing over it?"

"If all the choices I made did not ultimately lead to the best outcome, then are my choices in between unimportant?"

"If I sacrifice countless things for the so-called best ending, is this ending really a good one?"

"We monks have practiced hard for thousands of years. What we seek is enlightenment, freedom, and eternal freedom."

"All spirits in the world are endowed with spiritual light. After millions of reincarnations, there is always a chance to transcend."

"Even the heavens and the earth themselves seek a long-lasting existence."

"But is it really good to deny other people's choices for the sake of the longevity of the world?"

"Can a long-lasting world built on the sacrifices of countless sentient beings really be complete?"

Chu Tai looked at Taiyi Zhenren: "When Yuanshi Xianzun said that Jiuku Tianzun had no spiritual response, I was a little surprised, but now I have thought about it. If, I mean if, every time the living beings of the world can learn from the lessons of the previous cycle and move towards a better future, then whether the world can continue for a longer time is so important?"

The Immortal Lord of Morality fell into silence. Chu Tai smiled and said something casually that made the Immortal Lord of Morality change color.

"But compared to this, I am actually more curious. The current time period should be controlled by Yuqingtian, but Shangqingtian from the next time period came earlier. Now why are you, who is suppressed in the last time period, Taiqingtian, here too?"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Daode's eyes were filled with strange colors, and a myriad of wonderful music manifested around his body. The wind and fire energies formed a cushion under his body, and the yin and yang energies gathered in his hands to turn into a black and white whisk. A seventy-two-color light wheel rotated behind his head, and three thousand mysterious articles danced.

"Because I'm a little curious."

Tai Qingtian looked at Chu Tai. To be precise, Tai Qingtian was looking at the Donghuang Bell above Chu Tai's head.

"This should be the first time I have seen this thing, but I feel that I should have seen this thing in my past or in my future. No, I should say that I have seen this thing a long time ago. In fact, one of the sources of power of the incarnation next to you is me."

Tai Qingtian pointed to the treasure light that radiated the brilliance of the sun and the moon corresponding to the Yunzhongjun system. Chu Tai was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. He looked at Tai Qingtian and asked anxiously: "You mean, this is the first time you have seen the Donghuang Bell?"

Having said that, Chu Tai also recalled that when he first met Tai Qingtian, the other party had asked a question to the Donghuang Bell.

Looking back now, I wonder how Tai Qingtian decided on the name of this clock.

You know, Chu Tai himself wasn't sure at first.

If Tai Qingtian did not lie, then who was the Tai Qingtian he met at that time?
'etc……'

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Chu Tai's mind.

'If the essence of the Three Pure Heavens originated from the Heavenly Emperor who manifested the Tao and transformed the Great Heaven, and the Great Pure Heaven that I saw at that time was not the Great Pure Heaven in front of me, then what I saw at that time was actually the shadow of the Great Pure Heaven projected by the Heavenly Emperor?'

Tai Qingtian also spoke at the right time: "It seems that you have thought of something."
