Humans live in the primordial world, investing in countless realms

Chapter 142 The relationship between the human race's calamity and the future: an immeasurable calamity!

After talking with Zhang Sanfeng and confirming the development of his world, Lin Chen left his primordial spirit behind and returned his consciousness to the prehistoric world.

After returning, Lin Chen's spiritual energy surged, and the world within his body began to develop at an increasingly rapid pace.

Humans gradually appeared in various worlds.

Although it is unknown why humans appear in various forms, as the leaders of all beings, they have pioneered various cultivation methods on the arduous path of survival after their emergence.

Whether it's tempering one's physique, nourishing one's soul and transforming one's spirit, or commanding a hundred beasts.

In short, because of Lin Chen's laissez-faire approach, the entire inner world of his body has blossomed in a hundred different ways.

Even some parts of the world are beginning to show signs of transformation.

Lin Chen's primordial spirit also became more solidified.

The Great Dao incantations on the primordial spirit began to show signs of becoming tangible, and chains of the Great Dao enveloped the entire primordial spirit, making it even more like a golden elixir.

Meanwhile, streams of primordial chaos energy were maintaining the fusion of the primordial spirit and the "golden core".

This change made Lin Chen breathe a sigh of relief and relax.

As long as the speed remains stable, I believe that his Great Dao Golden Core will be fully formed soon.

Just as Lin Chen was getting excited, Lao Tzu's figure slowly appeared in front of Lin Chen.

Seeing Laozi suddenly appear, Lin Chen couldn't help but stand up and bow.

"Greetings, Senior Uncle!"

Lao Tzu nodded, but at that moment, his brows furrowed.

"You should go back to the human race!"

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment. He felt that he hadn't been in the Eight Views Palace for long. The spiritual energy here was abundant, and cultivating here could accelerate the changes in the world within his body. He just didn't expect that Lao Tzu would start kicking him out at this time.

"Master Uncle!"

Lao Tzu sighed, and then couldn't help but start talking.

"Humanity's calamity is imminent. You should return and prepare. I hope you can change the course of humanity's destiny!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's brows furrowed. Was a calamity about to befall the human race?

Wow, that was fast! How long has it been?

Just a moment later, Laozi seemed to sense Lin Chen's anxiety and also began to speak.

"Don't worry, this is just a minor calamity, nothing serious. After you go back and handle it properly, you can return to my Eight Trigrams Palace to continue your cultivation. Just call my name, and I'll have Xuandu come to fetch you!"

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but after thinking about it carefully, he was still somewhat confused and asked a question.

"Senior Uncle, didn't you imprison all the demons in the Heavenly Court last time? How come these things are happening again?"

After Lao Tzu sighed, he slowly began to speak.

"Naturally, they are newly born demon races. Among the myriad races of this primordial world, there will always be some races that join the demon race. As long as they join, they can share a piece of the demon race's fortune, strengthen themselves, and greatly increase their cultivation."

"Moreover, although your human race is born with a Dao body, it is an acquired race created by your junior sister Nuwa. Its foundation is low, and its cultivation cannot keep up with the myriad races in this primordial world."

"Otherwise, why do you think Heaven would impose such a calamity on humanity?"

"This great calamity for humanity is indeed a great calamity for the human race, but it is also the foundation upon which you will stand above all other races in the future!"

Lin Chen frowned upon hearing this, unable to understand why such a statement could exist.

After a short while, Lin Chen thought about it carefully for a long time and finally figured out the reason!

"Is the senior master referring to karma?"

Lao Tzu nodded, and began to speak with a hint of satisfaction.

"In ancient times, the three spirits of heaven fought for control of the world, causing widespread suffering. This was because they were tainted by karma, and their descendants faced difficulties in cultivation and were unable to commit evil deeds."

"This great calamity, in which demons slaughter humans and forge the Witch-Slaying Sword, will not only taint them with karma, but will also cause the demon race to owe humans a debt of cause and effect."

"From then on, humans will gain merit by slaying demons, while demons will incur karma. All demons will fall into the same predicament as the three celestial spirits, allowing humans to rise above and become the true masters of this primordial world!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen fell into deep thought. Although the statement was correct, he found it hard to accept that living, breathing people were using this method to gamble on their future.

After all, they were all his clansmen who were born at the same time as him, and over time he had developed a sense of belonging.

He couldn't accept letting them die.

For a moment, Lin Chen looked at Laozi.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

"Senior Uncle, if the human race isn't slaughtered, then the karma of the demon race should be enough to affect the future, right?"

Lao Tzu nodded, and at the same time, he shook his head.

"That can be guaranteed in the future, but what about the merits accumulated by the human race?"

"If one day, the Immortal Realm emerges, its spiritual energy gradually diminishes, human cultivation declines, and demons wreak havoc on the world with their power, and humanity receives no merit to aid them, what will become of us?"

Lin Chen thought of the future and was stunned for a moment. The matter of the Earthly Immortal Realm was related to the Investiture of the Gods.

I never imagined that a sage could see so far into the past and future, even knowing about things in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Even now, it seems we can see what happens after Journey to the West.

Upon realizing this, Lin Chen was momentarily stunned.

"The Witch Clan cultivated themselves using malevolent energy, which disrupted the balance of the primordial world. Therefore, the Witch Clan will be sealed after this great calamity. The Demon Clan, on the other hand, cultivates using spiritual energy and can also incorporate flesh and soul into their own bodies for cultivation. However, their cultivation is slow and cannot be considered as disrupting the balance, so they will be wiped out."

After thinking about this, Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, but this still couldn't convince him, since there were clearly many ways to help the human race overcome the calamity.

Why would Heaven allow humanity to be slaughtered?

He couldn't understand why Heaven had arranged things this way, but looking at Lao Tzu's words, he knew that this was just a script arranged by Heaven.

Lin Chen was rather curious at this moment. Since the sages could see so far into the past and future, what exactly was the legendary immeasurable calamity?

"Senior Uncle, putting aside the calamities facing humanity and the future, I have some questions."

After glancing at Lin Chen, Laozi instantly guessed what the other party was curious about. He sighed helplessly and then began to speak.

"What you want to ask about is the matter of the immeasurable eons. I do not know about this either. Although I can see the past and the future, after becoming a saint, I was also curious about what the so-called immeasurable eons were. But all I could see was a world with yin and yang clearly defined. There was nothing else. I did not understand what the so-called immeasurable eons were. Perhaps we will only know what they are when the immeasurable eons descend in the future!"
