Chapter 440 A Dream of Eternity
"It's not impossible."

Jiang Lin suddenly spoke, looking at the Great Celestial Venerable.

After a moment of surprise, the Great Celestial Venerable suddenly understood and said thoughtfully, "It can be used like this? No wonder you told me to collect it as soon as possible..."

Jiang Lin was somewhat surprised by the Great Celestial Venerable's reaction; he had assumed the Great Celestial Venerable would know.

But now it seems that even the Great Celestial Venerable wasn't entirely sure.

It was merely relaying what Jiang Lin had instructed him to do.

The two did not try to hide their conversation from Yin Tianzun.

At this point, all the plans have lost their hidden meaning.

It's like playing Red Alert and mass-producing units. Before you've mass-produced them, you have to hold back, but now that you've reached the final battle, it's time to just go all in.

The Great Celestial Venerable appeared before the Yin Celestial Venerable, unleashing his ultimate pure Yang power, which clashed with the Yin turbid power.

"Ten breaths!"

Yin Tianzun went all out, disregarding everything, but Da Tianzun could only hold out for ten breaths at most.

"enough."

Jiang Lin raised his hand, and the Seven Soul Divine Objects suddenly flew out from his dantian!

Corpse dog, thief-swallowing, stinking lungs, filth removal, non-poison, sparrow shade, hidden arrow.

The seven souls of a person are transformed into divine beings.

These Seven Souls Divine Objects were the most important part of Jiang Lin's previous plan, so important that even Jiang Lin himself would not sense them unless he came into close contact with them.

Jiang Lin was initially puzzled. Although each of the seven divine objects possessed its own power, the combination of the seven divine objects and the reversal of Yin and Yang gave Jiang Lin the ability to traverse worlds.

But is that all?
Is such an important arrangement really necessary for such a minor auxiliary function?
Now Jiang Lin understands that the ultimate function of the Seven Souls Divine Object can only be fully realized after he achieves the position of Heavenly Emperor!

Yin Tianzun is born of desire. Within the entire chaos, all living beings in the myriad realms, as long as they possess wisdom and thought, are destined to generate desires.

This desire is not merely lust, but rather an extreme pursuit of everything.

It seems like there's no solution, because it's impossible for Jiang Lin and the Great Celestial Venerable to annihilate all living beings in the entire Chaos.

But it's not that there's no way out.

The key to breaking the deadlock lies in the Seven Souls Divine Object.

The seven souls are the physical manifestations of a person.

If thoughts, wisdom, desires, and so on are the manifestation of a person's spirit and soul, then the seven spirits are the manifestation of a person's physical body.

Using the Seven Souls Divine Objects as a springboard, and with Jiang Lin's current status as the Human Emperor as a boost...

In this way, Jiang Lin can interfere with the physical bodies of all humans in all worlds within the entire Chaos.

No, to be precise, it's not interference, but a higher level of... synchronization?
A top-down coordination.

However, this coordination must be carried out in accordance with Jiang Lin's wishes.

But can you really understand it?

Jiang Lin felt somewhat worried.

In all the heavens and myriad realms, the current protagonist of the world is the human race. Therefore, it is only natural that the greatest source of Yin Tianzun's desire is also the human race.

As long as humanity stops providing Yin Tianzun with desires, then Yin Tianzun is not truly immortal.

At least that's true for Jiang Lin and the Great Heavenly Venerable, who are both Heavenly Emperors.

It seems like a perfect plan, but there are still problems.

Will humanity's instinct for freedom and the tenacity and stubbornness buried deep in their bloodline truly allow the Heavenly Emperor of Humanity to interfere with their physical bodies?
Will it provoke an instinctive resistance?

Jiang Lin wouldn't take the resistance of one or two humans, even if they were Great Luo Celestial Immortals, seriously. But what if trillions of humans from all the myriad realms resisted at the same time?
It's important to understand that what Jiang Lin is doing now is essentially using his physical body as a springboard to coordinate the subconscious of the entire human race.

Once a seed of rebellion is sown, the number of humans who instinctively rebel will increase exponentially, just like the Six Cave Heavenly Demons devour and multiply.

If this were to happen, then all efforts would be in vain, and Jiang Lin himself might even suffer a backlash.

But now that things have come to this, the die is cast.

Furthermore, Jiang Lin and the Great Celestial Venerable had no better options besides these.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Lin did not hesitate any longer and used the power of the Human Emperor to activate the Seven Souls Divine Object!

'Om...'

Suddenly, a feeling of drowning washed over Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin felt himself sinking, sinking, sinking...

Jiang Lin opened his eyes, not knowing how far he had sunk or how much time had passed.

In this seemingly deep-sea environment, Jiang Lin discovered that even he could only break free, but not interfere...

This is……

The ocean of the human race's subconscious.

This is not a real, extraordinary concept, but a more abstract existence, rooted in the deepest part of the human race. From the moment of the birth of humanity, those who live in seclusion are almost destined for a bad end.

Humans are a race that is naturally good at sticking together, cooperating, and leveraging the power of a group.

After the human race became the main force in the world, this characteristic was brought to its fullest potential.

This means that even though Jiang Lin is the Heavenly Emperor of Humanity, he can only do this much when faced with the sea of ​​consciousness of the human race that seems to transcend the concept of rules.

broken……

Jiang Lin wore a bitter smile.

He felt the resistance and pressure emanating from the surrounding "seawater" and realized a fact.

That is, the plan to use the Seven Souls Divine Objects to interfere with the human body and thus temporarily sever desires is simply impossible to implement.

From the very beginning, the collective consciousness of humanity has been resisting this forced change and coordination.

Even if it is for the survival of all the heavens and myriad worlds, or even the birth and death of the entire chaos.

But if even one human shows the slightest resistance, the plan will not succeed.

What should we do now?
Jiang Lin smiled wryly, but suddenly raised his head and looked at what was in front of him.

Two figures appeared in front of them.

Two humans.

One of them was dressed in simple linen clothes, or rather, he had cut three holes in a burlap sack, put it over his head, and then tied a belt around his waist.

At this moment, the man was bending down and weaving a rope with hemp fibers.

Another person, dressed in the same linen outfit, was holding a bunch of small sticks and trying to build something that resembled a bird's nest.

Jiang Lin seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became dazed for a moment.

The next moment, his expression returned to normal, and he walked towards the two humans.

'tread……'

With one step, the surrounding dark "ocean" disappears, replaced by a forest filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

The seemingly tranquil and peaceful forest always gave Jiang Lin a sense of wildness and untamed nature.

Suppressed growls of wild beasts echoed from all directions of the forest.

But the two people sitting on the ground did not react at all, focusing only on the work in their hands.

They would even take a moment to look up and chat for a bit. The language they used was extremely ancient, so ancient that there was no need to trace it back to its origins.

This is the earliest and most ancient language of humankind...

Jiang Lin stepped forward and spoke, immediately using the same language.

"It's dangerous here. Night is coming, and wild animals will come to attack... Aren't you afraid?"

Jiang Lin said.

The person holding the hemp thread looked up, saw Jiang Lin, smiled slightly, and said, "We were afraid at first, but because you are here, we are not afraid of the wild beasts at night."

Because of me?
At this moment, another person holding a bunch of small wooden sticks looked up and smiled at Jiang Lin, saying, "Brother, I've already prepared this for you."

Jiang Lin then realized that the small wooden stick in the man's hand was cut from the branches of a pile of dry firewood.

The pile of dry firewood was stacked between the two of them.

Jiang Linfu seemed to understand something intuitively. A smile appeared on his lips as he walked over and sat down cross-legged.

He discovered that after he sat down, the clothes he was wearing had changed to those extremely simple hemp garments.

A slight itch came from his shoulders and neck, which became more pronounced as he turned his head.

Jiang Lin didn't even need to look to know that his hair must be a mess, hanging haphazardly.

Looking at the dry firewood in front of him, Jiang Lin expertly reached behind his back. A rounded small stick with obvious carbonization marks at one end appeared in his hand.

Jiang Lin was holding the small wooden stick, about to press the carbonized end against the wood in front of him, when he saw two hands appear in his line of sight.

In his left hand was a ball of hemp thread, and in his right hand was a bent wooden stick.

Jiang Lin paused for a moment, then grinned, took the two pieces, and tied the hemp fibers and the curved wooden stick together to make a simple, miniature bow.

He wrapped the bowstring around the stick in his hand, and the previously loose bowstring immediately straightened.

Then, Jiang Lin found a wooden board and used it to hold down the stick.

He held it down with one hand and pulled the wooden bow with the other.

"Sizzle..."

With a dull thud, the carbonized tip rubbed against the wood, and puffs of black smoke quickly drifted out.

A finely kneaded tuft of hemp fibers was placed at the appropriate time at the friction point.

With a whoosh, a bright orange flame burst into flame.

A pile of flawed, discarded wooden sticks was thrown onto the flames.

Immediately, the flames began to slowly grow larger.

Eventually, the entire pile of firewood caught fire.

The flames brought light and warmth, dispelling the damp chill of the approaching night.

The faint, almost imperceptible roars of wild beasts, as if they were right behind us, vanished with the appearance of fire.

"Now, I'm not afraid of anything."

The person who handed over the hemp thread looked at Jiang Lin and smiled, "Brother, I am Ziyi."

Another man fiddling with a wooden stick laughed and said, "Brother, I am Youchao."

Upon seeing their smiles, Jiang Lin paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I am... Suiren."

Yes, that's how it should be, that's how it should be.

Only the original leader of the human race is qualified to be crowned the Heavenly Emperor.

He is Jiang Lin, and also Suiren.

Through countless reincarnations, the soul has never changed; only the code name it uses to walk in the human world has changed.

More of Jiang Lin's innate wisdom began to awaken, and he finally understood everything.

Before the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors established order among humankind, there were three ancient sages.

The Ziyi clan provided people with shelter so they could walk on the earth without worrying about being bitten by mosquitoes or scratched by thorns.

The story of Youchao provides people with a safe haven, so they don't have to sleep under the open sky or worry about being torn apart by wild animals in their sleep.

Suirenshi...

The advent of fire gave humankind its greatest advantage in the harsh winter: it allowed them to cook food, burn fields, scare away wild animals, and so on...

In conclusion, fire is the foundation upon which humanity stands.

The three ancient holy emperors of the human race should have become the first ancestors remembered by later generations of humankind, or, under the great vow of humanity, achieved the divine status of humankind.

However, the three emperors had their own considerations.

Favored by Heaven, they knew that the human race was destined to be the protagonist of the world, but being the protagonist was not eternal, nor was it without any harm.

They need a stronger and more durable protective shield to protect the entire human race from being wiped out by a possible future catastrophe.

It is also for the long-term prosperity of the human race.

There is no grand or righteous cause involved; the sole purpose is the long-term continuation of their own ethnic group.

In order to achieve this, the great power known as the Heavenly Emperor appeared before the three Holy Emperors.

Humanity needs its own Heavenly Emperor, not the Yin and Yang that appear with the workings of Heaven.

Humanity needs to take control of its own destiny, rather than relying on its status as the so-called protagonist of heaven and earth to beg for a place to live under two heavenly emperors whose fates could change at any moment.

Thus began a grand scheme spanning millennia.

Suirenshi entered the eternal cycle of reincarnation, waiting for the destined opportunity to appear.

In order to protect Suirenshi, Youchao and Ziyi entered the vast ocean of human subconsciousness and intervened from the root of humanity. By using the ever-growing influence of humanity on the cause and effect of chaos, they made all living beings in the myriad worlds ignore the existence of Suirenshi.

In addition, there are two other safeguards.

First, the three Holy Emperors joined forces to hunt down an ancient god, an ancient god who controlled the power of the ancient stars, and allowed the daughter of the Ziyi clan to inherit and merge with the godhood of this ancient star god.

This is the innate deity Doumu Yuanjun in people's minds today.

At the same time, Youchao's daughter voluntarily sealed her memories and entered the cycle of reincarnation. Under the control of Youchao, Ziyi, and the vast ocean of human subconsciousness, the Great Vow of Humanity covered Youchao's daughter.

Thus, Houtu Huangdiqi came into being.

The power of the Pure Yang Three Realms Reincarnation and the stars is ultimately controlled by the human race.

Even Doumu Yuanjun and Houtu Huangdiqi themselves did not know.

One purpose was to safeguard the cycle of reincarnation for Suirenshi, while the other was to provide the initial driving force for the final strategic plan.

The eldest son of Doumu Yuanjun, the Ziwei Emperor, the head of the Four Emperors, who governs the stars and Fengdu.

It served as the source of power for Suirenshi's final reincarnation.

This led to the reconstruction of the Sea of ​​Stars in the Three Realms of Extreme Yin.

At the same time, it was also Jiang Lin's first step towards the Heavenly Dao.

Everything is interconnected, all serving the ultimate purpose.

Of course, there is also the most important point: the present world.

The existence of the present world is also inseparable from the interference and cover-up by the two Holy Emperors in the subconscious sea of ​​humanity.

But most importantly, how did the present world come about?

Whether in the Yin-Yang Three Realms or in other heavens and myriad realms, there is no legend of Pangu creating the world, but there is in the present world.

This is not a legend, but a fact.

The creation of the entire reality was achieved using the original physical body of Suirenshi.

Humans have three souls and seven spirits. Suirenshi's three souls entered the cycle of reincarnation, his seven spirits transformed into divine beings, and the remaining physical body became reality.

In the present world, Jiang Lin and the Seven Souls Divine Objects together constitute the original Suirenshi.

"So, you are Suiren, but you are also Jiang Lin, and the latter is even clearer than the former."

Youchao said to Jiang Lin, "This is just like the principle that the three realms of Yin and Yang are mirror images of each other."

Jiang Lin nodded slightly.

At the same time, we also learned why the Great Celestial Venerable called himself an existence that transcended countless eons.

The rise of one race is destined to be paved with the destruction of countless other races. This is beyond the bounds of any morality or ethics; it is the most basic, bloody, and cruel thing in the world.

In the process of humanity becoming the protagonist of the world, countless races were wiped out, and countless resources were absorbed.

And all of this began with Suiren, who bestowed upon humanity its first power, called "fire."

All the causes and effects lie with Suirenshi.

The process of a protagonist's rise to power involves countless battles and karmic consequences, far exceeding the significance of countless eons.

As for the unreasonable restraint of his desires for Yin Tianzun, that was even simpler.

The reasoning behind this still originates from the human race.

Yin Tianzun's desires come from the collective desires of all living beings in the myriad realms, but among these countless beings, the human race absolutely accounts for at least 80% of them.

In this situation, how could the great power derived from Yin Tianzun possibly harm the earliest and most ancient human ancestor?

Everything is clear.

Jiang Lin silently covered his chest.

I am Suiren, and also Jiang Lin.

There is no distinction between them, nor is there any need to distinguish between them, because they are simply two codes for one soul.

"Brother, go do what you should do."

Youchao smiled and patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder.

Ziyi smiled and pointed around.

"Humans may resist the Heavenly Emperor's interference, but they will never refuse the leadership of the Ancestor of Humanity."
