I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 124 Cause and Effect
On the back of the golden crow.

Within a vast mountain and sea realm, shaped like a crow's nest.

Guhuoniao emerged from the dense swarm of fire crows and walked all the way to the border of the Mountain and Sea Kingdom, only to find that she could not get out at all.

"Enchantment?"

"It's aimed at me."

She discovered this matter after Li Jun placed her here.

At first, she didn't think much of it. She knew Li Jun was suspicious, and if the emperor was suspicious, then the Heavenly Emperor was no exception.

However, the Golden Crows are no longer in the Mountain and Sea Realm; they have all gone to the "edge of the sky." The Guhuoniao also believes it is time to release her.

The Guhuoniao found Li Jun, but Li Jun said...

"We can't release it yet."

The Guhuoniao said, "I didn't expect you to be so afraid of me?"

Li Jun replied, "That's not really your concern."

Then he changed the subject: "But you are indeed quite dangerous."

For some reason, Guhuoniao felt quite happy after hearing what Li Jun, the former Heavenly Emperor, said.

This is an endorsement from the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun.

"I am dangerous."

This does not mean that she was very strong, so strong that Emperor Jun was still wary of her even ten thousand years later.

However, she quickly understood the meaning behind Li Jun's words, and also understood why Li Jun had been staying on Jinwu for some time.

The First Goddess Nuwa came to see Jinwu that day. The two were quite familiar with each other, after all, they had once joined forces to form an anti-Heavenly Emperor Dijun alliance, preparing to seize Li Jun's Heavenly Emperor bird throne.

Although both of them are now down on their luck and have become "enemies," they are still old friends.

The first goddess Nuwa visited and entered the Sun God Palace, then asked to see the double pupils of the Guhuoniao.

The Guhuoniao was puzzled: "My double pupils were taken away by Li Jun a long time ago, and now they have become his power to control Xihe."

The First Goddess Nuwa said, "It's not that double pupils, but the double pupils that Li Jun gave you."

The Guhuoniao's expression turned somewhat unpleasant: "What are you looking at? Are you here to mock me?"

For Guhuoniao, these eyes were indeed very powerful, but Li Jun gave them to her not as a reward, but to control her.

That feeling.

Like a ring on a cow's nose, or a rein on livestock, it constantly reminds her that her life and death are in the hands of others.

The First Goddess Nuwa did not insist, but she did bring up a matter.

"Don't you find it strange that he would give you these double pupils?"

With a cold and arrogant expression, Guhuoniao said, "That person was afraid of me, so he used his eyes to control me, fearing that I would escape his control."

The First Goddess Nuwa said, "This is the double pupil of the Emperor's blood. His Emperor's body has a problem. He has transformed everything related to the Emperor's blood. He spent ten years on the entire Earth to eliminate the hidden dangers."

Why do you think he kept only these eyes?

The First Goddess Nuwa looked at the Guhuoniao and then told another strange story.

"Moreover, the Emperor's Body has been around for quite some time now, and all the other Emperor Blood Double-Pupil Immortals have been affected, so why haven't these eyes been?"

Guhuoniao looked unwell; in fact, she knew this matter was strange.

"I've thought about it too, maybe these double pupils are something special!"

The Bluebird's double pupils are very special. It is the first demon god born in the world besides the Emperor's Body, and it is fused with the Emperor's Body.

It could even be said to be the most powerful double pupil, which is integrated with the Emperor's body.

First Nuwa Goddess: "I think he must have made some kind of arrangement on these eyes."

Then, the Guhuoniao understood something.

"He tricked me again."

the other side.

Li Jun had been keeping a close eye on the movements of the Mountain and Sea Realm. The other party had approached the sun and was beginning to seize its power.

I don't know where the other party borrowed this method from; perhaps it was information obtained from ten thousand years in the future that gave them some unique inspiration.

As Earth moves further and further away, the other party should not be able to keep up. Even if they do, the Mountain and Sea Realm is on the other side, and he does not have enough power to fight against Li Jun, who holds the entire Earth in his hands.

However, Li Jun felt that since the other party had come over and spoken, they must have some kind of solution.

In fact, what he was most worried about was the bluebird's double pupils.

"Blue Bird."

On the one hand, Li Jun was worried that these double pupils might have hidden dangers, after all, they were double pupils of imperial blood.

On the other hand, Li Jun felt that the double pupils might be related to the Queen Mother of the West. Back then, the Queen Mother of the West might have transcended by using the power of the Bluebird Double Pupils when she held that last divine stone, because he did not find any trace of the Queen Mother of the West in the Three Lives Stone and the Yellow Springs.

Therefore, Li Jun is currently in a dilemma. He needs to see if the double pupils were left by the Queen Mother of the West, but he is also worried that there may be something wrong with them, so he hesitates to take action against them.

nowadays.

On Earth, ten golden crows take turns flying, maintaining the previous 24-hour cycle. The moon is also growing larger without anyone noticing, and recently many people have gone there.

On Earth, people are also busy adapting to the new conditions. The Earth's surface area is a hundred times larger than before. Although the First Goddess Nuwa kept many things in their original state, such as gravity, the continents have remained intact.

However, many things are different now, and humans need to adapt.

But that's not the most important thing. The Human Federation has been holding meetings recently to discuss where humanity should go next.

Li Jun was invited to the meeting multiple times, but he only showed up and watched them discuss the matter.

As humanity decides among the few nearest star systems which planet to visit, and how to land on that planet in the fastest possible way, a series of important events are being discussed.

At this moment, fluctuations occurred somewhere in the Earth's outer layers.

"Warning, warning!"

"The Sun God Palace has sent a warning."

"Yutani has entered a state of emergency."

"The moon has issued a red alert."

"..."

Alarms blared from all directions; warnings came from the moon, the earth's surface, and the Golden Crow, as they all observed the problem from different angles.

Li Jun's body disappeared, then condensed again high in the sky. He stood on Earth looking at a tiny point high above that was invisible to the naked eye, which was the location of Taoshan Island.

However, now, the space of Taoshan Island, which was created by a large number of peach gods, is in chaos again. Someone has forcibly intervened from the other side, wanting to seize control of this place.

"That's where we start."

Li Jun had naturally made some preparations and anticipated the possible locations where the other party might attack, and Taoshan Island was certainly not an exception.

Because the other party possessed many magical artifacts related to Taoshan Island, which Li Jun had not been able to obtain back then.

Even so, it wouldn't be an easy task for the other side to attack and threaten Li Jun from Taoshan Island.

Li Jun used Xihe's power to refine almost all the source energy on Taoshan Island. Even if the other side wanted to open a breach here, they would only be wasting time and fighting a pointless battle with Li Jun.

After understanding the situation, Li Jun immediately began issuing missions to all the extraterrestrial demons through the Yellow Springs.

Mission: Battle for Taoshan Island.

Taoshan Island immediately became a duplicate of the original region.

The "extraterrestrial demons," who were already bored out of their minds, started to act as soon as they received the mission, looking quite delighted.

Projected from underground into the sky, a great battle unfolded on Taoshan Island, carrying out various missions.

Just as Li Jun had predicted, the two sides, like nations with 100,000 troops, began a fierce battle on a cliffside walkway that could only accommodate one person at a time, sending one soldier at a time.

On that small, holed walkway, they launched a drawn-out, drawn-out battle. No one knew how long this battle would last, but the "extraterrestrial demons" were quite excited.

During this process, Li Jun gradually cleared up the problems on Taoshan Island, refining each one that could be cleared up.

What couldn't be swept away was directly severed and thrown from Earth's outer layer into space to be sealed away.

However, Li Jun then discovered that the other party was gradually unsealing those "cosmic junk" and then starting to transform them on the spot.

"So that's what you were planning."

That imperial body obtained Li Jun's help to scatter the seeds of his power throughout the entire starry sky through a great battle with Li Jun.

Finally, just as Li Jun was about to clean up Taoshan Island, the breach on Taoshan Island was widened by the enemy's all-out effort.

However, this "large" is relative; neither side can possibly muster much strength to complete the decisive battle between the two worlds here.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened to Li Jun.

this day.

There was no warning from the Bluebird, no news from the Guhuoniao, and the entire Earth was bathed in clear skies, giving the impression that something good was about to happen.

A powerful pressure came from Taoshan Island, and a figure squeezed through the spatial gate, barely managing to squeeze in after a long while.

Then the entire space of Taoshan Island began to distort, and one by one, the Peach Gods left Taoshan Island in terror, abandoning their original bodies and fleeing towards Earth with their avatars.

"coming!"

"he came."

"The Heavenly Emperor has arrived."

Huang Quan immediately stopped the projection, and all the "extraterrestrial demons" retreated back into the Earth. Yin and Yang energies began to rotate in the high sky, and ten golden crows took off at the same time. The moon goddess Xihe looked towards Taoshan Island.

Riding the Golden Crow, Li Jun approached Taoshan Island. Recently, Li Jun had been raising Taoshan Island higher and higher, almost making it as high as the moon.

After arriving on the moon, Li Jun looked at Taoshan Island again and saw the shadow on the island.

"The Emperor's body?"

After opening the hole to its lowest possible level, the other person squeezed through alone.

Li Jun really didn't expect that the Mountain and Sea Realm was so far away in the solar system. Wasn't it a death sentence for the other party to come alone?
However, Li Jun didn't think much at this moment. His first reaction was to lock Taoshan Island shut and push it higher up so that in case of an accident, the entire Taoshan Island could be sealed and thrown out using the power of space.

"Lock!"

Without saying a word, Li Jun locked down Taoshan Island. Even if he couldn't completely lock down the other party, he could lock it down for a period of time.

This means that during this period, the opponent only had an imperial body and no backup support.

However, Li Jun then saw that the other party made no preparations and walked directly towards Li Jun, with a very clear and determined goal.

The shadow fell from Taoshan Island, following the moonlight towards the moon, and for a moment a powerful pressure suppressed all the ghosts, gods, and demons.

Even though the ghosts and demons here have been refined by Xihe's power, the fear they feel from the Emperor's power is hard to erase.

In an instant, the entire interior of the Earth, and even all the "extraterrestrial demons," felt as if a huge mountain had fallen from the sky, and the sky itself seemed to darken.

Seeing the other person's appearance, Li Jun understood.

"He's not going to his death, this is a direct king versus king."

The opponent isn't going to use the power of the Mountain and Sea Realm or Earth to fight Li Jun; he's going to fight Li Jun head-on. Either he takes Li Jun away.

Either Li Jun takes him away, and either way, he will achieve a happy ending.

The other person spoke as they walked over.

“I said I would come.”

"I am a soul."

"You are my thoughts, my attachment to good and evil."

“You call me the Emperor’s Body, but you know that I am not the Emperor’s Body, I am your soul.”

When the Emperor's body truly appeared, Li Jun also felt a moment of disorientation. As long as the two got close to a certain distance, it seemed as if an extremely powerful suction force would automatically be generated.

He had a vague feeling that as long as he returned to the other side, he would be able to obtain a perfect power.

The most powerful force, the divine ability to attract good fortune and avoid misfortune, seems to have begun to take effect again in the dark.

Li Jun had long understood the importance of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, but this fortune and misfortune were not defined by his own thoughts.

He said, "You are indeed not the Emperor's Body, but you have already been controlled by the Emperor's Body."

Emperor's Body: "Don't you think I'm perfect? ​​Much more perfect than you are now. As long as you and I are reunited as one, we can become even more perfect."

“From the perspective of life evolution, you should aspire to my current state, since we both have the same goal.”

As the Emperor's body drew closer to the moon, he could finally see Li Jun's appearance.

“When your consciousness descended and returned to this era, it seemed as if Li Jun had already left.”

"But for me, nothing has changed. I am still in the ancient times. I have not left."

“You chose to return to this era, so I have to do something.”

"I have no interest in anything. The only things that can move me are transcendence and fulfillment!"

"You established the Heavenly Court, wasn't that partly because of this intention?"

The emperor moved even closer, talking incessantly, as if trying to uncover all the secrets hidden in Li Jun's heart.

"If you hadn't left then."

"You were the Heavenly Emperor for a thousand or even ten thousand years in ancient times. Now, you are the one who devours the entire mountains and seas and all the immortals and gods!"

Li Jun: "Who knows? But I probably won't do anything that radical."

The Emperor said, "We've come this far, we have to pursue something, we can't go back to being just a mortal!"

Li Jun: "That's my decision."

The emperor sighed expressionlessly, "What a pity."

The Emperor's body finally approached a limit, and at this moment, Li Jun also made his move, delivering a fatal blow.

The Yin and Yang energies of the entire Earth, like two dragons, strangled the Emperor's body. Ten golden crows high above pressed down together, and the light from the moon transformed into a silver pillar that fell upon the Emperor's body.

However, the moment that force approached its opponent, Li Jun sensed something was wrong and an alarm bell rang in his mind.

"Ok?"

Li Jun looked down and discovered that his Dharma body had begun to become transparent, and even his power had begun to disappear.

Am I disappearing?

Li Jun looked again and found that the others were in the same state. The other Nuwa Gods beside him and the Peach Ghosts who had escaped from the high place were all beginning to become ethereal.

Furthermore, when Li Jun looked at Earth again, the entire Earth became transparent, as if it were about to disappear along with them.

Even in the distant mountain and sea realm, the same state was observed at this time.

This scene filled everyone with terror, but most people didn't know what had happened.

The other Nuwa Goddesses and Peach Ghosts standing beside Li Jun simply looked at Li Jun, then at the Emperor's body, assuming that the other party was behind it all.

"What power is this?"

"It's gone. I feel like everything is disappearing."

"My power is useless."

"I myself have disappeared."

Li Jun stared at the imperial body for a moment, then finally understood: "Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder you dared to come over."

The Emperor nodded: "I am the past you, you are the future me, and at the same time you are also the past me, and I am also the future you."

"We are each other's foundation, and it is impossible for us to hurt each other."

"Whether we consider time, space, or cause and effect, you and I are destined to become one."

"Only when you and I are one, when you and I reach a state of perfection, will everything happen."

"Only you and I can exist in this world."

The other person was getting closer and closer, as if it were some kind of destiny that was inevitable.

"That time is right now."

"Right now."

Li Jun looked at the others behind him, then at the Earth below.

"Because I exist, because you appeared in ancient times, the Mountain and Sea Realm was born."

"Because I returned to Earth, Earth is the way it is now. In fact, because we are each other's cause and effect, everything we have now came into being."

"But everything must have a source."

"Is the source here?"

Li Jun looked at the Emperor's body: "It's this time."

The Emperor nodded: "That's right."

Everything has a cause and effect.

Li Jun travels between the future and the present, and it seems that he has changed many things, but in retrospect, from a higher perspective, everything was actually predetermined.

What he did ten thousand years ago has determined many things in the present.

But there are some things that haven't happened yet, but are destined to happen.

For example, where did that divine stone come from, and why was it Li Jun? Everything must have a source, and the time when that source erupted could be in the past or in the future.

But no matter what, this source was bound to be born, as if it were predetermined by cause and effect, or destiny.

This is what the Emperor is doing now. He keeps getting closer to Li Jun, trying to merge the two into one and achieve perfection, while transcending everything.

Ultimately, the cause of this cause and effect, the source of everything, was completely determined.

The Emperor's body had already entered the moon and stepped onto the lunar soil. His body was also semi-transparent as he slowly approached Li Jun.

The two semi-transparent Li Juns gazed into the distance, as if if they were to merge together, they could become real again.

"bring it on!"

"Why run?"

At this moment, the Emperor once again spoke of what he had said before, that he understood Li Jun, yet he didn't quite understand Li Jun.

"No matter what, you and I must become one; it is destiny."

Li Jun looked at the other person and pondered for a long time, as if he had finally found a flaw in the other person's words.

"It is indeed unavoidable, but it's not what you said."

"I don't think it's the right time. When and in what form should the process of cause and effect be determined? That's for me to decide."

"Not you."

Emperor's expression changed, and at that moment a bird's cry came from not far away. The golden crow that Li Jun had ridden to the moon passed by the moon's perimeter, and the Guhuoniao looked at Li Jun. Her double pupils were activated even without Li Jun's intervention.

The Emperor looked at the Guhuoniao, stared at its double pupils, and immediately called out a name.

"Queen Mother of the West!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, everything froze.

Li Jun, the Emperor's Body, the Golden Crow, and everyone else, even the Earth itself, stopped moving; time seemed to stand still at that moment.

But then Li Jun heard a second bird call. It wasn't the Golden Crow's call, but it was one that Li Jun recognized very well.

"Chirp!"

The real bluebird appeared.

It doesn't fly in the universe or the real world, but rather in the passage of time.

Everyone else couldn't see it, but Li Jun could.

It flies in a void, as if it exists at any point in time, past, present, or future.

It is difficult for anyone to find it because it does not exist in the real world, but it can be felt everywhere and at any time because its power transcends time.

"emperor!"

Li Jun saw the figure sitting on the back of the bluebird. She did not exist in reality, but Li Jun recognized her.

"It's really you."

Ultimately, it was you who gained the power of transcendence.

However, the figure on the bluebird's back said...

"I am not the one who transcends."

Li Jun asked, somewhat puzzled, "Who is that?"

The Queen Mother of the West said, "It is you, Emperor!"

Li Jun had many questions and many things he wanted to say, but the bluebird seemed unable to stop flying away and continued to move into the distance.

In this hurried handover, the Queen Mother of the West reached out and pulled Li Jun towards her.

"time is limited."

"Let's talk over here!"

Li Jun asked, "Which way to?"

Queen Mother of the West: "You have already gone through this many times, to the other side of time."

on the earth.

Ten thousand years later.

Li Jun stood still, but that long-lost feeling returned.

Ten thousand years later, he gradually closed his eyes, and another scene slowly appeared before his eyes.
