No!
Void Bodhi… Junior Brother Changgeng?
This, this, this?
In the main hall of the spiritual mountain, the Dharma body of Buddha Duobao, which was made of numinous treasures, was expressionless. His main body hid in the Dharma body with a bitter expression and kept patting his stomach.
Previously, when he saw the Void Bodhi being lonely beside the lotus pond, he even went over to tease it!
For some reason, he felt a little ashamed.
Duobao groaned in his heart. He then looked at the figure rushing towards the sky and sensed the unique Dao runes.
He suddenly understood what the words ‘never left’ meant.
He could escape in the open and secretly cultivate the earth cave!
It was a move that he often used when snatching treasures from others in the ancient times!
Changgeng must have replaced the Void Bodhi long ago and used a brilliant method to disguise it.
However, speaking of which, it is really unbelievable that Junior Brother Changgeng’s Void Dispelling Great Dao had reached such a stage.
There was also the matter regarding Wukong.
As the master of the Buddhist Sect, Daoist Duobao naturally understood the importance of Sun Wukong and the Golden Cicada. The Heavenly Dao had more or less revealed it previously. He pinched his fingers and deduced that the Heavenly Dao’s arrangements for Journey to the West were revealed in front of him.
What’s going on?
The main character of the Journey to the West that the Heavenly Dao had high hopes for had followed Patriarch Subhuti who is Junior Brother Changgeng, and cultivated for hundreds of years!
That was equivalent to two slaps to the Dao Ancestor’s face.
Since ancient times, when had the Dao Ancestor suffered such grievances?
At that moment, Daoist Duobao could only say, “Wonderful, Changgeng.”
Unfortunately, he could not say it out loud.
Changgeng did not let them participate in the following battle. Daoist Duobao had his own plans, such as finding an opportunity to save his master.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Duobao felt that whatever he did now was wrong.
If Changgeng can defeat the Dao Ancestor, everything would not be a problem. If Changgeng loses this round, I would not be able to save him even if I find Master. It would not change anything.
The lives of thousands of living beings are all tied to Changshou.
Could it be that he wants to create an empty Great Dao for the Heavenly Dao?
Duobao took a deep breath and felt emotional. His thoughts were complicated.
Duobao’s gaze passed through his Dharma body, the hall, and the array formation of the spiritual mountain. He looked at the star that was shining in the sky with anticipation.
Li Changshou’s figure rose rapidly.
He could feel the pressure coming from ahead. There were layers of barriers in front of him.
Spirit Qi, Heavenly Might, Heavenly Dao power, Dao law power…
The higher he flew, the stronger the resistance he had to face.
The Dao Ancestor seemed… to have yet to adjust his mentality to face him.
At that moment, there was no need to hide. Li Changshou spread his immortal senses and scanned Huaguo Mountain.
The battle there had yet to stop. The resistance of the demons was very weak. There was only one last extermination.
Sun Wukong was sleeping on the edge of the cliff. The spiritual energy tide in his body had already subsided a lot. Seven-colored light appeared around him. The real Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal was about to appear in such a situation.
This monkey…
A vortex suddenly appeared above Li Changshou’s head, emitting a strong pressure of the Heavenly Dao.
He hesitated for a while and sized up the vortex. He carefully deduced and observed the spiritual power structure of the vortex. He pondered about the various situations that might happen after he rushed in.
He could not possibly go in after the enemy opened a Teleportation Portal. If there were any traps inside, wouldn’t he suffer a huge loss?
He could not underestimate any opponent, especially an existence like the Dao Ancestor who was most likely to catch him off guard.
Li Changshou observed carefully for a while.
When many mighty figures who were paying attention to that place understood that he was being cautious, they raised their hands and held their foreheads.
The Dao Ancestor’s mouth twitched a few times. He raised his hand and waved it, flattening the outer appearance of the vortex and revealing the door inside.
It was simple, clear, and direct, revealing the structure to Li Changshou.
Li Changshou sensed for a while before smiling calmly. He stepped in calmly and disappeared.
The sounds of insects and birds chirping came from the front. A faint fragrance floated over from the familiar bamboo forest, causing him to be a little dazed. It was as if he had returned to the last time he came to the Purple Cloud Palace.
“Li Changshou.”
A voice called out from ahead.
Li Changshou stopped in his tracks. Mist appeared around him. The ground under his feet turned dark red, as if he was in an ancient ruin.
After taking half a step forward, the surrounding scenery changed again. The noisy people approached from afar. In a daze, they arrived at a noisy town.
Illusion?
Li Changshou smiled and did not break the illusion. He stopped and slowly walked forward.
The vibrant world is captivating, and the Dao is left in my heart.
If he broke these illusions, it would prove that they existed. Instead, he would be trapped.
It was a brilliant trap.
Li Changshou’s Dao heart did not move. He just walked forward at a steady pace. After taking the thirty-third step, the illusions dissipated, and the small bamboo hut was in front of him.
The burly old Daoist priest’s face turned sullen. He lowered his head and stared at Li Changshou, who was outside the door.
“Come in.”
Li Changshou cupped his hands and walked to the short table in front of the Dao Ancestor. Without waiting for the Dao Ancestor to greet him, he sat down cross-legged.
There was a detail—the Creation Jade Disc that had been placed on the short table previously had disappeared.
The Dao Ancestor squinted slightly and stared at Li Changshou, as if he wanted to confirm Li Changshou’s identity.
Li Changshou said slowly, “Fellow Daoist, how have you been?”
“Hmph,” the Dao Ancestor said coldly. “How dare you tease me like that! Where did you get your confidence from? Do you think that I won’t attack your relatives and friends?”
Li Changshou said, “The living beings of the Three Realms are naturally ants in your eyes. You can overturn them with a flip of your hand. That’s why you would not bother with a small fry. The noise of the mortal world, be it made by those who upheld justice, evil, those who rebelled, or those in support of the Heavens, will only be considered a nuisance to you. This is the difference between life forms. Fellow Daoist, you are of a high status but you’re not condescending. You will not make things difficult for them. Simply put, there is no need for you to. If you really use such a method to threaten me, you will have lost your Dao heart. That way, you would have already lost half the battle.”
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun’s expression became calm again. There was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
“Changshou, you seem to have a way to deal with me.”
“I can’t tell you that.” Li Changshou shook his head and smiled. “Previously, we played three games. Why don’t we add two more today? Let’s decide the winner and loser. We will win three out of five games.”
Hong Jun said slowly, “Fellow Daoist, you seem to be going back on your word.”
Li Changshou did not give in at all. “In the past, you used the Heavenly Punishment to destroy Jie School and secretly ambushed the Grandmaster of Heaven to obtain control of the situation. It seems that you are really cheating.”
Hong Jun could not help but be silent. He stared at the young Daoist in front of him.
That was just Li Changshou’s fake body.
Moreover, this fake body had been in the Primordial World for nearly a thousand years. The Heavenly Dao did not detect anything that Li Changshou had done or arranged. That was the Dao Ancestor’s fear.
Especially Li Changshou’s personality…
“Fellow Daoist, could it be that you already have 98% of methods to deal with me?”
“Almost.” Li Changshou’s eyes flickered weakly. He admitted it directly, but the Dao Ancestor could not figure it out.
The bamboo hut fell silent.
Li Changshou took out a tea set from his sleeve and casually took two bamboo leaves and brewed them like tea leaves.
He fiddled with it quietly. His expression was calm and relaxed. He was not afraid at all, nor did he have any worries. It was as if he was here to make tea for the Dao Ancestor.
An empty city plan.
“Fellow Daoist, please.” Li Changshou slowly pushed a cup of tea over.
Hong Jun reached out and took it. He placed it in front of him and suddenly chuckled. “In that case, let’s have a chat.”
“Fellow Daoist, where do you want to talk about it?” Li Changshou pondered. “I seem to know a lot… I’ve basically figured out your background.”
“A message left behind by that fellow?”
“Half,” Li Changshou said. “I should say half. The other half is written in this world. There’s a saying that does not seem appropriate to be used here, and that is the heavens were watching your every move. There are traces of everything that you have done in the Primordial World. They are engraved in the Great Dao Door and exist on those Great Dao. That’s right. Fellow Daoist, you don’t have a deep understanding of that. After all, you have the Creation Jade Disc. You can use the Creation Jade Disc to deduce the three thousand Great Dao. At the same time, you can use the Creation Jade Disc to replenish the entire Heavenly Dao. At the same time, you can dominate the Heavenly Dao.”
Hong Jun nodded slowly and understood.
“It seems that the Great Dao of Equalization has given you many benefits.”
“No.” Li Changshou calmly revealed a small secret. “It’s Ling’e’s Dao. Ling’e has entered the Dao by copying the Steadiness Sutra. However, her Dao does not have much to do with the Steadiness Sutra. Her Dao is in the form of copying. It is the comprehension that she gains every time she’s punished by me. She’s resistant, helpless, and has no choice but to copy the sutra. I call this Great Dao the Dao of Reading and Writing. Or the Dao of Reading. However, Ling’e’s realm is too low, and she has yet to discover the secrets of her Dao. There’s a wonderful use for this Great Dao, which is to understand the information contained in everything. I secretly cultivated her Great Dao, which resulted in a rapid breakthrough in the Dao Realm. This is actually one of my greatest trump cards.”
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“My passiveness today actually stemmed from Ling’e’s Dao? When have I ever taken her seriously? I only saw her as your vassal living being. Unexpectedly… As expected of you. You can actually force your junior sister to cultivate to such a Dao realm.”
“Fellow Daoist, you flatter me.” Li Changshou smiled sincerely. “Her comprehension is astonishing.”
“What astonishing comprehension.” Hong Jun squinted slightly. “What about you? What do you think of your comprehension?”
Li Changshou was silent for a while. He sighed and said, “It’s simple. Many epiphanies before the Golden Immortal were actually guided by you, Fellow Daoist. Many insights after the Golden Immortal Tribulation came from the Great Dao of Equalization itself and me. Fellow Daoist, if you don’t know what to talk about, why don’t I start? Let’s talk about Senior Lang. What’s his name?”
“Since you call him Senior Lang, let’s call him Lang.” Hong Jun sighed and said, “He’s considered an old friend of mine. However, he was originally in the body of Fuxi. Yes, the Second Essence Soul Dharma. You used the Second Essence Soul Dharma and the Dao of the Heavenly Fiend to replace the Void Bodhi.”
“Actually, no,” Li Changshou said. “I’m using the Pseudo Essence Soul Dharma that is similar to the Second Essence Soul Dharma. That’s also the secret of the Dao of paper effigies. I believe you already know.” Dao Ancestor Hong Jun smiled and said, “You have indeed figured it out.”
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows. “Fellow Daoist, you really know about it.”
Then, the two Daoists chuckled. They had a tacit understanding.
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun sighed slightly and said slowly, “Changgeng… Changshou, actually, you and I don’t have to go to the extent of fighting to the death. If you want the world and living beings to be balanced, you can actually talk about that. As long as you can give me a bargaining chip that can threaten me, I will take a few steps back.”
Li Changshou said seriously, “Fellow Daoist, you don’t have to say that. My trump card is right here. I just want to give you one last bit of dignity. If you let go of your connection with the natural source of the world, I will naturally spare your life.”
Hong Jun smiled and said, “Could it be that you’re just stalling for time?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “What opportunity can I wait for? At this moment, with this Great Dao of Space Dispelling, you can no longer kill me completely. You can only seal me. This is just a fake body of mine. I’m indeed prepared. I can forcefully suppress you. At this moment, I’m just… thinking about old times. Fellow Daoist, you are actually not considered evil. It’s just that you are used to controlling the world and lack respect for living beings.”
“Respect? What do you mean?Living beings are nothing. I’m just a mayfly. The world is eternal. It was this world that created living beings and gave them a place to live. However, living beings keep plundering the world with their selfish desires, causing the world to be unable to bear the burden.”
“Fellow Daoist, you must be the greatest predator.”
“No.” Hong Jun stared at Li Changshou. “I didn’t plunder it.”
“Just control?”
“What’s wrong with controlling it?”
Hong Jun asked in return, “The world needs a leader. The living beings need a guardian. What the world and the living beings need is not balance, but to draw the boundaries and respect each other. If not for me, the world would have long lost control. This day would not have happened!”
Li Changshou refuted, “What has not happened is all fabricated. Fellow Daoist, aren’t you being too arrogant by using the world as your Dao Fruit? Today, the world has indeed followed the script given by you and progressed to such an extent today. However, everything that has happened, apart from the framework of the script, are all progress of living beings. In fact, the living beings of Heaven and Earth and the Three Realms have many opportunities to walk in a more harmonious direction. However, they have been fixed to such a state by you.This is not being a leader or guardian. This is putting a shackle on the world and placing the living beings in a cage. What you want to satisfy is just your competitive heart, Fellow Daoist. It’s just your selfish desires.”
Hong Jun said, “The power of living beings is like the water of the Yellow River in your hometown. If there was no dam to consolidate it, it would have long overflowed.”
Li Changshou said, “However, the Yellow River Levee rose from the ground in the downstream and is suspended on the ground. If the water of the Yellow River overflows again, the consequences will be unimaginable. Instead of giving the Levee a dam, why don’t we protect the water in the upper reaches?”
Hong Jun continued, “The Yellow River is turbid. It’s the result of living beings being active. The greed of living beings creates the red and yellow high ground.Just like the huge river in the south, living beings live in the water and occupy the fertile land near the river. How can you blame the river for being unjust when the flood is spreading?”
Li Changshou paused and said, “However, the Heavenly Dao is not a dam. Fellow Daoist, you have secretly changed the concept. Fellow Daoist, your Heavenly Dao protects the world and the river itself. The existence of the river bank is to protect the people along the river. A flood is a natural disaster and a human calamity. Living beings plundered nature and obtained natural revenge. That is also the balance of the Dao of living beings. The relationship between living beings and nature was difficult to describe in words. That is also the answer that living beings should seek. Find balance in dynamics and explore paths in changes.I don’t think that what living beings want is right, and I don’t think that what living beings do is right. There must be a price to pay for trial and error. However, it’s better than a pool of stagnant water, quietness, and rotting stench. Is that wrong?”
Hong Jun smiled and shook his head. “I’m indeed different from you.”
“It’s still early to discuss the Dao.”
Li Changshou made an inviting gesture and picked up the teacup with Hong Jun. They each took a sip and moistened their throats.
“It’s still the same question as before. Why don’t we play another round or two?”
“Yes?”
The Dao Ancestor smiled and said, “Which two formations?”
“In the fourth array formation, Sun Wukong caused a commotion in the Heaven Palace,” Li Changshou said. “Let’s see if he can enter the Lingxiao Hall.”
Hong Jun said calmly, “That’s meaningless. You just want to use this method to protect Sun Wukong’s life. Don’t let me kill this broken chess piece. Fellow Daoist, you are really a sentimental person. There’s no need for the fourth round. I’ll watch this show with you and see how the Heavenly Courts develop. If I interfere, I will lose this round. How about that?”
Li Changshou pursed his lips and said, “Then I’ll take advantage of you this time.”
Hong Jun smiled and did not say anything. He raised his hand and tapped the table in front of him. Layers of ripples appeared on it, and the situation of Sun Wukong falling asleep appeared.
The bamboo hut fell silent again. It was waiting for Monkey to wake up.
After a while, the Dao Ancestor said slowly,”You mentioned Lang just now. What kind of person do you think he is?”
“It’s hard to say,” Li Changshou said. “If I met Lang in my previous life, I probably wouldn’t have any interactions with him.”
Hong Jun smiled and said, “Oh? Is it because of Xihe?”
“No.” Li Changshou shook his head. “Among my friends in my previous life, there are also people who had improper private lives. However, that is their personal privacy. Although I am a conservative person of values, I will not stop because of that. Fellow Daoist, if I’m not wrong, Lang might not have been successful in his previous life.”
“You can say that.” Hong Jun sighed and said, “He told me about his previous life back then. It’s difficult for him to calm down.”
Li Changshou said, “So he committed suicide?”
“Oh?” Hong Jun pondered. “Suicide? I don’t know about that.”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “I’m saying that Senior Lang insisted on returning to the Primordial World and fighting with you. In the end, he was killed by you and the Heavenly Dao. Isn’t that equivalent to suicide?”
Hong Jun smiled and sighed. “He is the most troublesome enemy I have ever encountered. In the end, he lost to his benevolence.”
“To you, Senior Lang is even more troublesome than my teacher, Grand Pure One, right?”
“That’s right,” Hong Jun said. “I know very well how Grand Pure One’s temperament is, but Grand Pure One does not know me. Lang and I know each other’s roots. That’s what I’m most afraid of.”
Li Changshou nodded slowly and took a sip of tea.
Hong Jun asked, “Why do I feel that you’re playing a trick, Changgeng? Why don’t you tell me about the secrets of the waves so that I can continue playing this game with you without killing you?”
It was time for the familiar testing of trump cards.
Li Changshou nodded calmly and said softly, “Senior Lang did not want to live back then because he actually had three reasons. How about I tell you one by one?”
The Dao Ancestor moved his legs and sat cross-legged more comfortably. “Speak.”
Li Changshou said, “This is rather far away. I have to start from the Primordial Residence Committee… Fellow Daoist, you should be familiar with this name, right?”
The Dao Ancestor nodded with a smile. He was not surprised.
Li Changshou looked at Sun Wukong’s condition and slowly said, “The Primordial World Residence Committee is also known as the office of the Primordial World Street. It should be a name casually given by Senior Lang. It’s mostly for mischief. At this moment, I can’t confirm when this name was used. I can’t completely confirm who the members are. I will tell you my analysis later. However, one thing is certain. The Primordial World Residence Committee has long decided the direction of the Primordial World. According to the record left behind by Senior Lang, the disagreement between you and Senior Lang should have happened in the mid-to-late-stage of the ancient times. Before the battle between the human race and the Demon Court, it was the period when your conflict erupted. That was the first reason why Senior Lang killed himself back then. You and Senior Lang had a conflict which cannot be reconciled.”
Hong Jun smiled and said, “Be more specific.”
Li Changshou pondered for a while, as if he was deliberating over his words.
Hong Jun continued, “That deduction is too superficial. Anyone who has some superficial information can deduce it. It’s not enough to surprise me.”
“It’s very troublesome,” Li Changshou said. “If that’s the case, I’ll tell you the first and second reasons. Although there are two reasons, they are both inducements. If I’m not wrong, you mentioned two things. Firstly, you would use the God-Conferment Tribulation and the Journey to the West as the final tribulation of the Primordial World. You would use these two tribulations to seal the selfish desires of living beings and turn the six Saints into the cornerstones of the world. You would form the Primordial World into a whole and develop the Chaos Sea without limit. Secondly… Let the Chaos Sea devour the universe where Earth is.”

Hong Jun’s pupils constricted slightly. His expression was complicated as he stared at Li Changshou and said coldly,
“It’s impossible for him to have the chance to tell you this. It’s also impossible for you to know this from any method. Fellow Daoist, are you tricking me?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “What is eternal life? I have been thinking about this problem for a long time. Eternal life is actually an endless lifespan. The immortality in the Primordial World is not to become a Golden Immortal. Golden Immortals are just longevity insects that live in the world. The immortality of the Primordial World means transcendence. After obtaining immortality, living beings would crave endless energy. However, Fellow Daoist, you neglected something. I always said that the system you designed is full of loopholes.”
“Oh? Please explain.”
“The changes in the Chaos Sea.”
Li Changshou casually brushed past it and a gray fog appeared beside him. The gray fog seemed to be the size of a palm, but it had endless profundities.
Li Changshou slowly explained, “The Pangu God created the world. The Chaos Sea is no longer the disorderly Chaos Sea, even if the world is only in a small region of the Chaos Sea. The Chaos Sea began to evolve orderly, but the evolution was continuously broken by the Chaos Sea’s own attributes. Fellow Daoist, you should have long known what the second law of thermodynamics is. All living beings always advance from an orderly to disorderly manner, which is the increase in entropy. The creation of the world is a reverse entropy process. The ax mark left by the Pangu God was a negative entropy note for living beings. To put it simply, the Pangu God had accumulated enough energy by killing the Chaos God Friends and opened up an orderly Primordial World in the disorderly Chaos Sea. After that, the lawless corrosion was orderly. The edge of the world would slowly become disorderly unless there is a new source of energy. In ancient times, in the first half of ancient times, the Xuandu City prospered. The living beings in the world explored the Chaos Sea and tried to turn the Chaos aura into spiritual energy. That is actually the instinct of life. The law of resisting entropy. However, the Daoists and Senior Lang, who stood outside the living beings and understood these things, knew that there were only two outcomes between the Primordial World and the Chaos Sea. Either the living beings of the Primordial World successfully resisted the increase in entropy and turned the Chaos Sea into an endless source of spiritual energy in the Primordial World, or the Primordial World would return to the Chaos. Now that the Primordial World is enveloped by the Heavenly Dao barrier, he was prepared to devour the Chaos Sea. His first idea had basically been completed. However, you did not just plan that. At the same time, you were worried about whether the Chaos Sea would be used up in the future. The Primordial World would reach another end. Nirvana. Therefore, you thought of Senior Lang’s hometown, a world that was parallel to the tangible world where the Chaos Sea is. The universe where Earth is.”
Hong Jun sighed slowly and raised his hand to flick his sleeve. Two blurry shadows appeared around him, but their words reached Li Changshou’s ears.
The figure that seemed to be Senior Lang shouted, “I don’t agree! Hong Jun, you bastard! That’s my hometown! Don’t even talk about swallowing the Earth. Even if you steal some matter, that universe will not be able to withstand the pressure of other parallel universes and die in advance! I can’t do that! Follow me to the Chaos Sea! Leave the Primordial World! I can’t let you destroy the Primordial World left behind by Brother Pangu!”
Then, Daoist Hong Jun sighed.
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun flicked his sleeve again, and the illusion disappeared.
A breeze blew past, and the bamboo forest rustled. Dao Ancestor Hong Jun’s figure seemed to have hunched.
Li Changshou nodded and said, “It’s not different from my guess. Fellow Daoist, you and Senior Lang officially fell out at that time, right?”
Hong Jun smiled and said, “Why would you guess that?”
“Actually, it’s very simple. I’m wondering why Senior Lang insisted on going to the Chaos Sea before the battle with you. After eliminating all the possibilities that can be verified, no matter how ridiculous the remaining deductions are, they are still the truth.”
Li Changshou slowly explained, “There must be a mysterious rift in the Chaos Sea. It’s the gate between plates and Senior Lang’s path to the Primordial World. Senior Lang had gone to the Chaos Sea back then to hide the door. At the same time, this is also the main reason that you favor Senior Lang, who’s from the same hometown as me, and opened the door to him. Fellow Daoist, the main purpose of nurturing me into the first form of Escape is not to stabilize the world or let the Heavenly Dao evolve. Instead, he wants me to be exiled in the Chaos Sea and crack the clues that Senior Lang might leave behind. He wants me to complete what Senior Lang has yet to complete. Find the plane rift and descend into the universe where Earth was. Devour the energy of that universe! With this portion of energy, the life of the Primordial World can be greatly extended, which is about to be destroyed in the future. At the end of the Primordial World, we can continue to resist the increase in entropy. Of course, my pawn has several uses.”
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun was silent. He stared at Li Changshou’s clear eyes and did not know what to say.
Li Changshou smiled and took a sip of tea.
“I’m a cautious person. I’ve never felt that there are benefits for no reason. I also don’t think that you will really like a living being like me. Fellow Daoist, your greatest flaw is that you left the Kun Peng Ark to me. It would not make sense if you say that you cannot deal with the Kun Peng Ark. Fellow Daoist, you have been to the Kun Peng Ark and know all its secrets. You see the Kun Peng as the future of the Primordial World. What you lack is a navigator. You also flipped through the few books left behind and took away the two most important ones. The stone tablet in the main control room was also left behind by you, right?”
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun revealed a puzzled expression and asked, “Since you already know that, why don’t you announce this matter to the public?”
“This can’t be announced to the public. This is your consideration for the Primordial World. The living beings of the Primordial World should stand on your side.”
Li Changshou shook his head helplessly and said slowly, “Actually, you’re wrong.”
“Yes?”
Hong Jun smiled and said, “What’s wrong?”
“You’re wrong,” Li Changshou said in a low voice. “The tangible world of the Chaos Sea is not a parallel universe with the world where Earth is. There is no compression between parallel universes. Fellow Daoist, you have been too affected by Senior Lang. Senior Lang’s knowledge is actually a product of some scientific imagination of my hometown.”
Hong Jun said, “Fellow Daoist, you have a brilliant idea?”
“Yin and Yang, positive and negative.”
Li Changshou sighed.
“One Dao begets one, and one exists. Two arises from one, and the Yin and Yang are opposite. In the void, there are positive and negative particles. By chance, positive and negative particles trigger two completely different tides. A tangible world is born between the tides. These two tangible worlds are both positive and negative. They are beautiful ripples born in the void.”
The Dao Ancestor’s expression was a little sinister. He said coldly, “Evidence.”
Li Changshou said, “The Yin and Yang of the two tangible worlds are just different in terms of definition and titles. That’s the essence. The matter and energy of my hometown cannot exist in this tangible world. If I forcefully take it over, it will only cause destruction.”
“How do you explain yours and Lang’s transmigration?”
“A True Spirit is at the same level as the Void,” Li Changshou said. “I even suspect that the Void Tide is caused by the large number of True Spirits.”
Hong Jun was silent. He looked down at the teacup in front of him and the reflection in it.
“That’s just your guess,” Hong Jun said. “I have to see the answer with my own eyes. No matter what, what I did was all for the sake of the Primordial World’s longevity.”
Li Changshou sneered and shook his head slowly.
“Fellow Daoist, don’t deceive yourself. If it’s really for the good of the world, you wouldn’t have urged the dragon and phoenix to destroy the Primordial World. If you really want the good of the world, you will stop Rahu in advance and not be the final savior and trigger the Heavenly Dao! You wouldn’t have left the Heavenly Dao defense system left behind by the Pangu God reveal a flaw, then advantage of the opportunity and control the Heavenly Dao!”
Li Changshou said calmly, “You just want to prove that you are stronger than me and that you are more suitable to exist than me. From then on, you can kill me righteously. Is that right, Senior? To be precise, Senior Lang’s mental demon, Senior Lang’s Dao nature, Senior Lang’s corpse, and the fake personality that Senior Lang developed when he was living unstably in the Chaos Sea. Dao Ancestor, Hong Jun. Apart from Senior Lang, you are the only one true spirit living in the Chaos Sea.”
