"Do you know? In fact, the descendants of gods and humans are just a tiny speck in this vast universe. They are weak and ignorant, no different from babies..."

Ji Huanzhen reached out his hand and stroked it gently. The reflection of the human being in the pool in front of him was dotted with spots of light, as bright as stars.

At this time, the Divine Forbidden Net is gathering and forming the spiritual true core absorbed from the human world.

"…But although we are all infants, our roots are different. You humans only know how to eat all day, scheme against each other, and fight against each other. Even if there are some knowledgeable people who step into the door of cultivation, what they seek is only longevity and dominance. It is really superficial. Just like an ignorant child who eats milk when there is milk and cries when there is no milk."

"And we, the descendants of the gods, have been practicing Taoism for nearly tens of thousands of years. Generation after generation has been tireless and devoted. Although we are also infants, we have always been doing it for only one thing, a meaningful thing."

"what's up?"

"Open your eyes."

Hearing this, Xu Zhiqiu sneered:

"With your level of cultivation, is there anything you can't see?"

"Of course."

Ji Huanzhen turned around and flicked his sleeves, and suddenly the entire hall began to change, transforming into a starry sky.

In the void, there stood a man with primitive clothing, bare arms, and a snake head and a human body.

This person is looking up at the stars, with his left hand raised high, as if trying to grasp something.

As soon as Xu Zhiqiu saw this image, he had already guessed what it was.

Sure enough, I only heard her say:

"Back then, our clan's most holy god, Fuxi, was only one step away from transcending to the other side, but unfortunately he failed in the end. Although he failed, we, the descendants, believe... before he fell, he must have seen the scenery of the other side."

Looking up at the illusion, Xu Zhiqiu couldn't help but feel a slight palpitation in his heart.

What kind of cultivation must the ancient god Fuxi have?
Even though you have reached the top, you still have to take one more step. Just for that step, it is not a pity even if you die.

How sincere and true is this? How ambitious and lofty is this?

"As the lesson from the past shows, our ancestors' path of proving the Dao with force did not work, and your race's method of luck also failed. Now it seems that only the method of seizing the soul is feasible. With the blood of Fuxi and the spirit of Nuwa, the combination of the two can complete the transformation of the life form, allowing me to break through the barriers of the Dao Law and reach the other side!"

"Are you really so confident about something you haven't even witnessed?" Xu Zhiqiu asked.

"You believe because you see, I see because I believe. This is the difference between you and me."

After Ji Huanzhen finished speaking, a ball of hazy white smoke gathered in his palm, with spiritual charm surging in it, emitting clear and brilliant light.

When he saw that thing, Xu Zhiqiu's eyes twitched slightly.

Aren’t those Lu Xueqi’s three souls and seven spirits?

Ji Zhenzhen said:

"The reason why I detained that girl's soul was to prevent you from interfering, so as to restrain you. But now it seems that you no longer have the ability to do so."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and threw it, and it was returned to him.

Xu Zhiqiu caught it and carefully held it in his palm.

A huge stone in my heart finally fell to the ground at this moment.

When I looked up at Ji Huanzhen again, I felt mixed emotions in my heart.

For him, opponents like this who are determined, have clear ideas, and do not play by the rules are the most difficult to deal with.

What's even more frustrating is that right now, I don't seem to have anything that can threaten the other party.

"Just now, you used yourself as a bargaining chip to trade with me. In theory, your conditions are not impossible to consider, but I want you to be clear about one thing..."

Looking at Xu Zhiqiu coldly, Ji Huanzhen showed a bit of pride:

"I, the descendants of God, seek the truth and never accept coercion from others. Emperor Jun ten thousand years ago knew this, and you ten thousand years later should also know this."

Suddenly, Xu Zhiqiu's expression changed.

The strange phenomena that happened far away in the human world were clearly perceived by him through the connection of human destiny. And from the pool of water, he could also clearly see that the entire human world was changing, the stars were shifting, and the infinite daylight permeated the sky, turning the entire Kyushu from night to day.

The divine forbidden net is shrinking rapidly, gathering all the spiritual true nuclei into a shining, hot core.

And as Ji Huanzhen reached his hand into the pool again, he actually fished out the core... clearly!

Xu Zhiqiu couldn't help but be stunned.

Looking at the energy core in her hand, which even he himself could not observe, he could only see countless spiritual essences surging and boundless creation.

The vertical and horizontal dotted lines on the surface of the core should be the longitude and latitude outlines of the divine forbidden net.

What is contained within it is undoubtedly the highly condensed product of the human spiritual core.

Is this the fruit of the Tao?
Is it possible to condense the fruit of Tao with less than half of the spiritual essence in the world?

Can one achieve self-realization with such an incomplete fruit of the Tao?
He was skeptical.

Ji Huanzhen looked at the "Dao Fruit" in his hand, and a hint of burning heat finally emerged in his eyes that had always been calm:
"Today I will prove to you clearly that even without your sacrifice, my path can still be accomplished! The future of my descendants of God will be just around the corner!"

After saying that, he swallowed the Dao Fruit in one gulp.

Then, the hall fell into a temporary silence.

"You, the descendants of God, have been striving for progress for tens of thousands of years. Your sincerity in seeking the truth is truly admirable, but I have a question for you—"

Xu Zhiqiu was very conflicted.

There is anticipation for opening one's eyes and witnessing the wonders, but there is also sadness for the death of all souls and the burial of bones in the desolate mountains.

"——For you to achieve enlightenment alone, billions of sentient beings will shed blood and die. Is it worth it?"

Hearing this, the burning feeling in Ji Huanzhen's eyes subsided slightly.

After all, over the past tens of thousands of years, the blood shed for this has not only come from humans, but also from the descendants of gods.

"My clan had reached a consensus on this issue tens of thousands of years ago. It is worth it no matter how great the price is, just to achieve enlightenment!"

The burning heat in her eyes made Xu Zhiqiu feel familiar, as if it was the light in his teacher's eyes on the Trinity School Field back then.

"..."

Xu Zhiqiu said no more, and took a step forward.
It then merged into the ripples in the sky behind it and disappeared.

When he reappeared, he had returned to the human world.

He held the Trace of All Life in his hand, raised his arm and waved it, and suddenly layers of clouds gathered over the land of Kyushu.

As the super-large-scale true spirit rain descended, it began to repair the injuries of the human cultivators, saving the dying from danger and restoring the vitality of the weak.

As soon as the nourished human monks recovered, they wanted to fight those descendants of gods again.

However, for some unknown reason, those monks of the descendants of gods all stopped fighting and looked up at the sky with fanatical looks on their faces. Some were crying, some were beating their chests and stamping their feet, and some were muttering to themselves. In short, they looked like crazy.

As if waiting for something great to happen.

"how is the situation?"

Di Jun's consciousness connected with Xu Zhiqiu and asked him.

Xu Zhiqiu gave him a brief description, and Di Jun sighed:
"In other words, now that the sky is about to rain and my mother is about to get married, there is no room for you and me to stop it?"

Xu Zhiqiu nodded:
"No matter what, the fact that both sides have stopped fighting here has saved a lot of unnecessary casualties, and besides..."

Xu Zhiqiu was also staring at the ceiling. At this moment, all the strange phenomena on the ceiling had disappeared, but his brows were still furrowed, and he was obviously waiting for something.

"...Besides, if she wants to complete the task, she still has at least two steps to go. As for whether she can succeed in the end...it's still uncertain."

"To be honest... if we put aside our identities as enemies for thousands of years, I still hope she can succeed." Di Jun sighed, "After all, even if I can only watch from the side, I really want to know... what is the scenery behind that endless barrier that is eternal and constant?" (End of this chapter)
