I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1472 - 768: Finale_2
There was a pause, and then Lin Yan spoke: "What changes occurred later?"
"The Supreme Heavenly Emperor, after all, is the most powerful existence in this universe."
Young Master Zi Yuan said: "He realized that he was being eroded by the bizarre, and cut out a part of the yet uncorrupted 'true self'..."
"And thus became you?"
Lin Yan's gaze slightly sharpened.
"And after He cut out the 'true self,' He realized something."
Young Master Zi Yuan continued: "The first being in this world to achieve enlightenment, above the Heavenly Emperor... Even the Heavenly Emperor can excise the 'true self,' why can't the Taoist Ancestor?"
He looked at Lin Yan and said: "But the Taoist Ancestor's 'true self' has remained hidden without a trace until later..."
"Was it the Ancient Immortal who sacrificed himself to unify the Ten Thousand Realms and signed a contract with All Gods?"
Lin Yan's pupils contracted as he immediately spoke.
"That's correct, since before the great calamity descended, he was already seeking a survival path for this world."
Young Master Zi Yuan said: "In ancient times, he had already seen today and had been planning for it. His true self... was excised long ago in the ancient era, achieving enlightenment in an unconventional way."
Lin Yan was silent for a moment and said: "So, until today, all these occurrences have been orchestrated by you?"
"It was through countless simulations, failures time and again, unexpected events happening repeatedly..."
Young Master Zi Yuan said: "That I finally saw a turning point in you, an outsider from beyond the domain."
He clasped his hands behind him and walked forward slowly, saying: "Now, I have some new views."
"Oh?"
Lin Yan raised his eyebrows.
"The bizarre incursion was not a calamity drawn by the Taoist Ancestor's divine journey beyond the heavens."
Young Master Zi Yuan said: "It is a calamity that had already fallen upon this universe, irreversible... The calamity may come from beyond the heavens, but the seed was planted before the establishment of the Heavenly Court."
He murmured: "The Taoist Ancestor's divine journey beyond the heavens was to find an opportunity to solve the calamity."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan already understood his implication.
The opportunity found by the Taoist Ancestor's divine journey beyond the heavens was Lin Yan himself.
Thus Lin Yan traversed to this world.
Lin Yan slightly closed his eyes, having roughly understood the source of this calamity in his heart.
In the Mortal World, there are four seasons in Reincarnation, and all beings have birth, aging, sickness, and death.
Even the supreme Immortal God faces descending calamities.
And this universe too has its own Reincarnation.
The calamity began at the dawn of creation, matured in ancient times, dwelt in the Ancient Heavenly Court, and decays in the present day!
This is the birth, aging, sickness, and death, the four seasons in Reincarnation of a universe.
"Perhaps you think that all Heavens True Gods are not benevolent, sitting back as the bizarre erodes, even feeding on the masses."
Young Master Zi Yuan calmly stated: "But in reality..."
Lin Yan slightly raised his hand and said: "I dwell amongst the Mortal World, witness generations of Human Clan ancestors resisting the bizarre, and understand your plight!"
During the ancient great calamity, the Divine Spirit most fearless of death already perished for posterity.
Through history, the most fearless humans had died for the Human Clan.
Leaving behind, apart from those who cling to life selfishly, also those who endure humiliation and bear burdens, waiting for opportunity.
Within the Human Clan, they are the Night Watchers.
In the Heavenly Court, they are the predecessors such as the Eastern Emperor, Emperor of War God, Star Emperor and others.
"The New Technique is established, the great trend apparent, all beings equipped with the foundation to resist the bizarre."
Young Master Zi Yuan said: "You merge the authority of All Heavens... All Gods either have been slain and devoured by you, or have surrendered to you, becoming one of the cornerstones of the new era."
He looked at Lin Yan and said again: "You now have two choices."
"First, to dwell here permanently, becoming the Highest Heavenly Emperor of this era."
"Your governance will be extremely solid."
"With one thought, you can bestow immense authority to all Immortal Gods or strip them of all authority."
"You've reached a realm beyond the Heavenly Emperor of the past, truly merging Ten Thousand Techniques of Furnace Refining, completely integrating the avenues of this world within your body."
"This universe has already become your true body."
Young Master Zi Yuan gazed into the distance and solemnly said: "And you will follow the cosmic rotation, facing one 'calamity' after another, though with your foundation, you may endure countless calamities and remain undying..."
"But will still perish?"
Lin Yan stood with his hands behind him and said: "Then I roughly understand your meaning..."
He calmly said: "Though enduring countless calamities, there is still an end. After my fall, the world will collapse, and the bizarre will erode this universe in a more terrifying way!"
Young Master Zi Yuan remained silent.
Lin Yan softly asked: "Then what is the second choice?"
Young Master Zi Yuan continued: "I possess part of the memories of the ancient Supreme Heavenly Emperor and know many thoughts of the past Supreme Heavenly Emperor, plus now being reborn as part of the Human Clan..."
He took a deep breath and said: "Now I believe the world cannot have only one leader, making the world unchangeable from then on."
"Perhaps you believe that your nature is stable, will not be lost due to time or power."
"But even so, the rise and fall of the world depends on your whims."
"Placing the safety of the world upon your shoulders alone."
"Or say, a new era's Heavenly Court, All Gods' positions securely held, with no path left for latecomers to climb."
"The foreseeable future, the higher ones enjoy endless fortune, while the lower ones see no path ahead, the higher rigidified, the lower despaired."
He looked at Lin Yan and said: "You control the Reincarnation of the Three Realms, in the future your close ones nearly become immortal, the positions of All Gods set by you."
"With time, more will enter your sight."
"With time, there will be no outsider positions among these All Heavens True Gods."
"With the future, all beings in this world will see no path ahead."
