I, the Lord of the Fifth Heavenly Throne, flow out of all things!

However, what kind of path they will take in the future and what kind of person they will become or change into are the differences and distinctions between them.

...............

"Darian, what is the current state of my soul and body? Slurp—"

Duanmulian, who was already a little hungry, sat at the dining table, watching with shining eyes as Darien served him his favorite rice noodles and spicy soup. While eating, he talked about his physical and spiritual problems.

These two foods can be said to be Duanmulian’s favorite foods.

No particular reason, just because it's cheap and delicious.

You can say that he likes it, or you can say that it is the food he is used to.

As the wife of the previous generation Duanmulian, Darien naturally knew her husband's taste.

Whether it is the lotus before or the lotus after, they have the same past life experience and the same soul, and the differences in habits and personality are really small.

"Well...how should I put it? You currently have two bodies, one for the outside world and one for the inside world."

Darien's fair face flushed red. After taking a bite of her favorite fried bread and drinking a sip of black tea, she continued to explain: "And your soul problem... can be said to be shaped like a gourd."

"Gudong.....Gourd?"

After drinking all the spicy and refreshing Huo La Tang in the bowl, Duanmulian looked a little confused when she heard Darien's adjective.

For the current problem, he can go to his memory palace.

But the memory was so vast that he chose to ask his ex-wife directly some questions.

Well...wife from the previous life, hence the name ex-wife.

"YES, the you in the inner scene before my eyes occupies 90% of the upper, waist and lower parts of the gourd, while the you in the outside world only occupies a small part of the gourd's mouth, and the soul mass is only a small one hundred times that of a human........."

Darien explained to Duanmulian his current condition in great detail.

The first is his physical problem.

This is a perfect body without defects that was mass-produced by the Duanmulians who extracted their own body cells from the outside world and then used the genetic technology learned from countless worlds.

Duanmu Lian is both a human and not a human.

Why do I say that? Because at the genetic level, he is far superior to humans on Earth.

Moreover, he is reproductively isolated from ordinary humans on Earth.

They look like humans in appearance, but in fact the genetic gap between them is even greater than that between humans and chimpanzees.

Then there is the question of the soul.

Darien was not wrong in using the word gourd to describe Duanmulian's soul.

His soul and body, which can move freely, are in the interior of the space.

The lotus in the outside world is just to deceive people, and it can also be said to be Duanmu Lian’s second soul.

The soul of Duanmulian was a soul captured by the eternal return.

The Duanmulian in the interior scene of the space can be said to be the one who sneaked into Chencang.

However, the lotus in the outside world is just to conceal the truth.

However, the entire chat group system was hosted in the ordinary soul of Duan Mu Lian in the outside world before it was restarted by the eternal return of the mercury snake in the entire fourth day world.

This is to prevent Duanmulian from losing the system.

After all, he often needs to go to other worlds to collect resources to become stronger, which can be dangerous.

The world projection is okay, at most it will add some wear and tear to the soul. Now Duanmulian's soul lifespan can withstand the consumption.

However, if the gate to the world is used, Duanmulian himself will need to take the risk.

If he were to go to another world and die accidentally, it would not affect the survival of the chat group system. A new soul would be born in the Soul Abyss and inherit his will and continue to struggle.

Once the mercury snake restarts the entire world, control of the chat group will return to Duanmulian in the inner scene, allowing her to avoid the vortex of eternal return in the cracks of time.

At the same time, after the Mercury Serpent restarted the entire world, the few years before Duanmulian died and was involved in the eternal return were a good time for him to move freely.

"I see......."

After listening to Darien's explanation, Duanmulian nodded to show that she understood. The self in the outside world and the self in the inner world can be said to be two parallel consciousnesses.

In different situations, it occupies a very important position.

"Now your first thing is to practice. During this process, I will tell you everything you need to pay attention to. Let's go to the [Seeking the Way Hall] first."

Seeing that Duanmulian had finished her lunch, Darien took a tissue and wiped her mouth, then signaled with her eyes to Duanmulian, who had the authority, to teleport over.

[Tao Seeking Hall], as its name suggests, is the place where generations of Duanmulians pursued [Tao] and chose [Tao].

Countless generations of Duanmulians have achieved considerable success in different fields.

For example, there is the Demon Lotus who followed the path of magic in the previous generation and achieved the status of a demon god, there is the Demon Lotus who left behind the remains of the ancient tree of reincarnation, there is the Martial God Lotus who followed the path of martial arts, and so on.

Every Duanmulian will choose what path he or she wants to take in the [Temple of Seeking the Tao].

"good---"

Duanmulian is very ambitious, especially after she found her goal. After hearing what Darien said, she teleported with her.

Each generation strives to resist fate, and even death cannot stop it from moving forward.

If he can't do it, he will leave it to the next person, and if the next person can't do it, he will pass it on.

Even if your personality and consciousness are gone, a new self will be born!

As Duanmulian said at the beginning, his soul is like the ship of Theseus.

The soul is constantly divided and reorganized, the personality is constantly replaced and updated, what kind of existence is Duanmulian?

Not sure and I don’t know.

It would not be wrong to say that he was bad, but Duanmulian was now in a state where the worst of badness was possible.

............

Seeking the Taoist Temple.

Although it has the word "palace" in its name, it is not a palace or a hall, but an extremely huge cave world.

What appeared before Duanmulian's eyes were countless long roads with no end in sight.

Each road extends straight in a different direction, and I don’t know where it will extend to.

And these countless long roads are all split from a straight road.

On both sides of this straight road, countless densely packed golden transparent templates are suspended.

There are different words and symbols on the templates.

Duanmu Lian could understand some of the words, but she had never even seen the rest.

"Here, here, come here, Lian."

Just when Duanmulian was stunned for a moment, Darien's call from not far away brought him back to his senses.

Following the sound, he saw Darien waving at him at the starting point of the road, signaling him to come quickly.

"This road that diverges from a path refers to my own experience, right?"

Duanmulian came to Darian, took a look at the golden transparent square template floating in front of her, and asked.

The original Duanmulian, and even the early Duanmulians, did not have the [Seeking the Way Hall] to use.

The sight of one road splitting into several roads reminded Duanmulian of her past self.

They all have the same starting point (previous life), but the paths they take afterwards are bound to be different.

Even if there is overlap, it will eventually extend in different directions.

"Yes, everything on this straight road is to lay the foundation for you, but what path you will take next depends on your choice."

Hearing Duan Mulian's words, Darien nodded calmly to indicate that it was correct, then raised her hand to touch the floating golden transparent module in front of her, threw it into Duan Mulian's arms, and continued:

"At the same time, you also have the responsibility to enrich the scenery on both sides of the road. They left something for you, and you also have to leave something for future generations."

This is the responsibility of every generation of Duanmulian.

Since they have received gifts from their previous selves, they must also leave something for the newly born lotus.

No one knows whether they can successfully realize their desires, and Duanmulian does not have any arrogant idea that he is the protagonist. Instead of soaring into the sky, he feels that he is more suitable to be down-to-earth.

So this accumulation behavior has become his instinct.

And after Duanmulian touched the golden plate thrown by Darien, a mechanical and cold prompt sound immediately sounded.

[A new seeker has been detected, his soul and personality match. 】

[Start logging in new seeker data and record the previous seeker data...]

[The magic road extends 8421 meters, and 98649 data modules on both sides of the road are updated... Data recording completed.]

[Storing the data of the previous seeker....Storing completed. 】

[The new host's data has been logged in. 】

[Message from seniors——Welcome the new me to embark on our path, have a good journey. 】

After hearing the prompt tone, Darien and Duanmulian had different expressions.

The girl looked a little sad and sighed, while the boy raised his eyebrows in surprise as he looked at the golden module in his hand.

The previous seeker of truth refers to the previous demon god Duanmulian, and he is also the one who has the authority to use this place.

And when the brand new Duanmulian came here and came into contact with the golden module, the system here had already detected his soul.

The authority of this place has been transferred to the current Duanmulian soul.

“Buzz——!”

After Duanmulian obtained the authority, the golden transparent module in his hand immediately began to solidify.

Finally, it turned into a materialized square golden template and quickly split into countless golden small cubes the size of fingernails before his eyes.

Each small cube is connected to each other by an energy line. They decompose and reorganize in front of Duanmulian... and finally form a huge dimensional door.

"This is......."

Duanmulian and Darien walked into the open door in front of them and came to a room full of technology.

In the center of this room are several small cylindrical platforms, and on the top of each cylindrical platform are suspended different objects, unknown light jades, books, liquids, pills, etc.

"These are your starting materials. Go absorb the blue light jade on that platform first."

Darien motioned Duanmulian to go forward and get those things quickly, and at the same time, there was a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.

She had also been here and witnessed the previous generation of Duanmu Lian embarking on her own path here.

After all, including the current Duanmulian, she has experienced three generations of Duanmulian.

The first generation of Lian brought her here, the second generation of Lian met and fell in love with her, and the third generation... which is the current Duanmu Lian generation, made Darien feel very melancholy and complicated.

"Ah."

Duanmulian first walked to the blue light jade that Darien pointed out, and after reaching out and touching the light jade on the cylindrical platform, power and information flowed into his body at the same time.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

In an instant, the blue-green electric energy snake tore open the sleeve of Duanmulian's arm that touched Guangyu, and climbed up his body like spreading lightning.

Veins like Type-Moon magic circuits spread from Duan Mulian's arms to his entire body, including his head.

The huge and vast bioelectricity caused his muscles to swell, making him look hideous and terrifying, and his hair stood on end.

The air exhaled from the mouth and nose formed white air arrows visible to the naked eye, as if an extra-large steam engine was exhausting air.

Power, power!

The immense power poured into Duanmulian's body like the water of the Yangtze River. At this moment, his eyes were filled with blue-green spiritual light, and his pupils and whites of his eyes could not be seen at all.
