Chapter 214 The Second Coming of God, My Destiny is in My Own Hands

Lin Jiuying is about to die.

With this man gone, Einstein is doomed.

Such is fate, unless a miracle occurs.

hum!
The sound of swords hummed.

Lin Jiuying and Einstein felt a sharp pain between their brows, and their hair stood on end.

A flash of sword light streaked across the sky.

This was a sword aura unlike anything seen in this era.

Sharp and unparalleled, it cleaved the heavens and the earth.

There are no cultivators in this era, nor is there any cultivation that proceeds step by step. Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and other such concepts no longer exist.

The sect no longer has magic passed down from master to disciple.

Cultivation relies entirely on innate, random talent; one must be born with the ability to cultivate magic.

Traditional sectarian relationships have been shattered.

Cultivators are a legend from a hundred years ago. In the West, cultivators today are called "superpowered individuals," while in the East they are called "extraordinary people."

Whoosh!
With a flash of sword light, the heads of the ten attackers fell to the ground, blood gushing out.

The sword's aura and power overturned the camera.

After a while, footsteps were heard.

The two turned around and saw that the newcomer was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Your Excellency, is...?"

"Liang Yue".

"Fellow Daoist Liang, please forgive me, what kind of secret technique is this?" Lin Jiuying was taken aback.
Could it be the mythical Shu Mountain Sword Technique? The Shu Mountain Sword Technique requires cultivation of sword intent and sword heart; could it be a new secret technique?
"Haven't you seen it before?"

Liang Yue was somewhat surprised and said, "You are also a Taoist priest, why don't you understand the methods?"

"I've never heard of it. The Taoist sect only has eight secret techniques, and martial artists have internal martial arts to cultivate internal strength. As for your method, fellow Daoist... I am not skilled enough to have seen it before."

Einstein emerged awkwardly from the bushes and expressed his gratitude to Liang Yue in Chinese.

While gathering information, Liang Yue skillfully searched the killer's body.

"Fellow Daoist, are you perhaps from a hermit sect?"

"Why do you say that? I have lived in seclusion for many years, and I hope you can explain..."

"Over the past two hundred years, our lineage has been severed, mysterious forces have destroyed our Taoist scriptures, many Taoists have been assassinated, and our last eight schools have been dubbed the Eight Thieves..."

"Mr. Ai and I are good friends. We often travel all over the country in search of ancient relics. Fellow Daoist Liang Yue, why don't you join us...?"

As they were talking, they suddenly froze.

Suddenly, Liang Yue produced a golden elixir.

The moment the golden elixir appeared, it radiated light in all directions.

Unlike ordinary people like Einstein, Lin Jiuying reacted immediately as if someone had poured ice water on her on a hot day.

"This...this is...the legendary elixir?"

"No, Liang Yue? Could it be the Yue of mountains? Could it be that you are...?" Einstein exclaimed.

Upon witnessing such a wondrous sight, Einstein, as the most intelligent man of his time, instantly thought of something.

Liang Yue turned around, his pupils turning an eerie purple. Those eyes seemed to see through everything in the universe, and the wickedness of people's hearts.

“I am Liang Yue, Lingbao, and also God.”

The voice has a convincing power.

The term "God" in this world has not been replaced by Outer Gods; rather, God has influenced Outer Gods.

Upon hearing this, all things fell silent.

It seemed as if only this purple-eyed deity remained in the world.

Lin Jiuying swayed precariously, speechless with shock. Einstein took a deep breath; he had spent most of his life researching and discovering countless truths about the universe.

Never before has a day been so shocking.

Not for any other reason, but because this man comes from history.

Deities from 1,600 years ago.

He was Liang Yue of Jiangzuo, Lingbao Immortal Master, and Xuantian Jade Emperor. Many myths bear his shadow, and civilization flourished because of him.

He changed the fate of human civilization.

The person stood there, blending into the mountain mist, gentle breeze, and warm sunshine.

It lacks the dramatic, miraculous scenes of mythology, yet it is still breathtaking.

The stars in the universe paled in comparison.

Einstein exhaled a breath of stale air, straightened his clothes, placed his right hand on his heart, and said:
"Homage to you, Your Majesty the Lord God."

"Disciple Lin Jiuying of the Maoshan Sect pays respects to the Heavenly Emperor!" Lin Jiuying straightened his clothes and bowed deeply.

Spoken language differs from written language; Liang Yue could be Liang Yue or Liang Li, which is why they didn't realize it immediately.

"No need for formalities. In this life, I am but a mortal. I should take it in stride." Having experienced many tribulations, Liang Yue viewed fame with indifference and did not need unnecessary formalities to maintain his status.

Just like the blazing sun in the sky, it remains unshaken by the world's insults, praises, or indifference.

The two were no ordinary people. After calming themselves down, they began to ignore the fact that the Jade Emperor existed and addressed each other as "brother Daoist".

Liang Yue found a medal in the corpse's bosom. The medal was triangular and contained a radiant divine eye.

"What is this...?"

"The Eye of the Heavenly Emperor, so it's the Heavenly Eye Society..."

Liang Yue suddenly realized.

Who would have thought that what started as a grassroots organization would grow to such a scale, becoming the government of the world's dark side?

Liang Yue said to the two men, "Don't alert them yet, just ignore them."

After saying that, Liang Yue turned and left, and the two followed.

Now, in this era of darkness and light, in the vacuum of Dharma's end, there are too many unexpected events, not to mention the powerful nuclear weapons, various poisons and firearms, and so on.

The Tianyan Society is acting recklessly; they may have long since stopped believing in legends of immortals and gods.

To some extent, it actually helps to cover up one's actions.

"Brother Dao, is there still the Dao of Immortality in this world?" Einstein asked.

Liang Yue said, "There is no Great Dao in this world. We are in a period of great calamity of emptiness. The Great Dao will not appear until 2234."

Lin Jiuying and the other man exchanged a glance, smiled bitterly, and said, "It seems we won't live to see that day."

At this moment, Liang Yue suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed intently on the two of them, and said:

"Heaven never seals off all paths. Even in the Dharma-ending Age, there is a great path. Are you willing to hide your identities and explore the way to immortality and salvation?"

This is why Liang Yue appeared.

In this technological age, we need geniuses to research the art of achieving immortality through technology.

Without hesitation, the two replied, "I do!"

After years of searching for immortals, I have finally met the legendary deity. How could I not follow him?

In 1945, the 4642nd year of the Yellow Emperor's reign, Einstein and Lin Jiuying encountered immortals. There are no historical records of this event, only two old video negatives that show fragments of the myth.

After that, the two followed in Liang Yue's footsteps and traveled the earth.

Lin Jiuying recounts history.

"Nowadays, there are no capable people in any sect across the country; most are just mediocre individuals."

"The move of the royal family of Lyon to the English Isles may be an imitation of the royal family of Penglai."

"The Zhu family abdicated ten years ago, and the land north of Beihai became the Zhu family kingdom."

Einstein did not disappear immediately, but instead gave speeches in various places, both to attract talent and to select sites for his research.

Liang Yue didn't ask them to do anything; he just wandered around aimlessly.

He didn't make many public appearances.

That night, on the banks of the Yangtze River, Liang Yue and Einstein were enjoying the cold wind.

The night sky in 1945 appeared so peaceful.

"Your Majesty, how can one transcend fate?" Einstein suddenly asked.

Without turning his head, Liang Yue said, "You once said that destiny lies within the cone of light."

"Exactly."

If the sun were to explode at this moment, it would take eight minutes for it to be observed by Earth. But at the moment of the explosion, which is eight minutes before, Earth's fate of destruction was already sealed.

Earth cannot escape the cone of light from the explosion.

"Einstein, you have a great understanding of matter, but you do not understand the ethereal world of the mind."

"The mind transcends time, speed, and any frame of reference."

The essence of cultivation is the unity of mind and matter, with the two interfering with each other.

The Yang Shen is also known as the realm of transforming all things with a single thought.

Transcending the Three Realms, and not bound by the Five Elements.

It can transcend the laws of the material world to a certain extent. The explosion of the material world cannot affect the Yang God who can create all things with a single thought.

Spaceships in the material world cannot reach the speed of light because of limitations in materials.

What if it's a mysterious and unpredictable thought?
Thoughts conjure incredible materials, enabling the spaceship to travel faster than the speed of light.

In Liang Yue's view, the technological world's excessive focus on material things is essentially a "crippled" path.

The evolution of civilization must also be combined with the sublimation of the individual.

"Taoism teaches that 'the mandate of heaven cannot be defied,' and also that 'my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven.' Since material things cannot solve the problem, it is better to turn to personal cultivation until... one transcends the three realms and is no longer subject to the five elements. That is the moment when one can control one's destiny and is not affected by external things."

"Einstein, from now on, you shall retreat into seclusion and pursue spiritual enlightenment. Your destiny is over."

1955 years.

That year, Einstein and Lin Jiuying "died," and history laid its final judgment.
