Immortal Father-Chapter 1694 - 617: Counter Invitation
The whispers in the darkness gradually faded away.
Li Ping’an stood there blankly, his eyes full of bitterness, and remained silent for a long time.
A bit of dim light gathered from all directions, a light-colored orb appeared before Li Ping’an, with entwined starlight within.
"That..."
Old Man Wangri’s hoarse voice sounded.
Li Ping’an immediately perked up, a smile appeared on his lips, and he was about to call out "Dad..."
"Better call me Teacher, otherwise the Causal Dao might easily collapse, and your father who came with you will be erased by causality."
Wangri’s voice emanated from the orb:
"I didn’t expect such a major flaw in the plan.
"Everything was fine before, making the heavens cycle again and again, even commands like moving the [Machine Gun Position] five meters forward, never had any error.
"Alas, still couldn’t help myself, spending hundreds of years with you."
"Hmm."
Li Ping’an gently took a breath and smiled: "Has the obsession been resolved?"
"It was resolved when you came," Wangri’s voice had a touch of emotion, "otherwise there wouldn’t be such a large deviation, everything was supposed to proceed according to plan... Do you have anything you want to ask?"
"Many, right now I want to see you."
Li Ping’an felt a little sour on the tip of his nose:
"Actually, I’m not worth all that you’ve done, I’m just a child to you... Thank you... Dad... I don’t want to oppose you... Can you directly take us to the Transcendence Realm to end this causality?"
Wangri sighed softly.
"The Transcendence Realm will destroy the tangible body, there are still many strong beings there who established rules, I can only take you away.
"Then what? You will fall into my tragedy again, wanting to save another me, to save your family and friends, I know you well.
"There’s only one path, child, only one path, and that’s to create an Eternal World."
Li Ping’an closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
He said: "Eternalness is a false proposition, Dad you know that too, entropy increase is an unchangeable trend."
"I know, that’s why some, some rather radical methods are needed," Wangri said, "Eternalness can be realized."
"As long as there’s a boundary in the Tangible Realm, eternalness can’t be achieved."
Li Ping’an quickly said:
"I don’t want to discuss the lives sacrificed in four hundred thirty cycles of heaven and earth, I’m the only beneficiary, I have no right to discuss.
"But now, we can look for other solutions.
"Destroying this world, over thirty billion of the Human Race and intelligent beings will become the fuel..."
Wangri gently said: "But think about it, since the opening of this world, hasn’t it provided countless True Spirits with a stage to experience the joys of life? Then am I truly the World Creator, or the Apocalypse Demon?"
"This..."
Li Ping’an said: "Unarguable achievements, and undeniable sins."
"There’s no inherent polarity in the world," Wangri said, "since creatures benefit from my plan, then as I proceed with my plan, on what grounds can they accuse me?"
"No, Dad, I’m a bit lost in thought."
Li Ping’an pondered the flaws in this logic and realized...
He truly seemed unable to remark on this matter.
Primarily because everything Old Man Wangri did was to save him, or roughly eighty percent was for his salvation, him criticizing... is too hypocritical.
The orb lightly flickered:
"Don’t overthink it, my actions are merely to satisfy my obsession, seeking true liberation.
"Saving you is the form of satisfying the obsession, so all I do is irrelevant to you, it’s you who, by your effort, reached today.
"You shouldn’t have a psychological burden next, confront me if you need to, strive to save this world.
"However, you surely won’t be able to defeat me, the great demon king."
Wangri’s laughter carried a sense of teasing and joy.
"This..."
Li Ping’an lifted a hand to his forehead, deciding to change the subject temporarily: "Actually, I have a few other questions that I’m not clear about."
"Just ask."
"The first question is... Why the Desolate Era?"
Li Ping’an asked:
"Dad, the original world you were in was also a high-power universe, why not repeat this world?"
"Three reasons, I suppose."
Wangri slowly said:
"Firstly, the structure of the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth can touch the power ceiling of this Tangible Realm, which is the Saint Realm, allowing for training some experts for my use.
"This way ensures several billion lives can be accommodated simultaneously, shaping enough experts, accumulating more True Spirit corpses, merging with the Source of Heaven and Earth, to constantly enhance the Source of Heaven and Earth.
"Now the Source of Heaven and Earth I can control, not counting the portion of this current world, is already enough to create a hundred Desolate Eras."
Li Ping’an:...
"The second reason is, the Desolate Era has four obvious great catastrophe points, and the power of experts in the Desolate Era flows from strong to weak."
"Pangu is the strongest, then Pangu dies, complete all beings, followed by a period of vigorous development, Hongjun unites with The Great Dao, Three Pure Ones become Saints, Human Race rises, but the power in heaven and earth gradually flows downward."
"Creation Catastrophe slays gods and demons, Dragon Phoenix Catastrophe subdues dragon and phoenix, Witches and Demons battle, Human Race rises, Divine Enthronement Journey consolidates lives."
"Usually it doesn’t reach the Journey Catastrophe, after the Investiture of the Gods Cataclysm, Heavenly Dao matures, I can harvest Heavenly Dao like a fruit, cultivating experts attached to Heavenly Dao as part of my foundation."
"This ensures that all variables are killed while allowing the heaven itself strong enough to summon traversers."
Wangri gently sighed:
"The third reason is... you are very familiar with the story of Divine Enthronement, also familiar with Desolate Era’s story, this system of Desolate Era, I first came to know from the pirated novels I bought for ten yuan during your high school, you left many of them at home, I’ve read them all."
