Hou Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Perhaps it is God's will in the dark. In fact, before I met you, Fellow Daoist Shen, I could not have imagined that I was the reincarnation of the Suiren clan and inherited his soul fire."
"It is precisely because I have the Suiren clan's soul fire in my body that I can successfully activate the God-killing arrow, shoot down the starry sky, and avoid a devastating blow to the human realm."
"All of this... is a plan arranged by the Suiren family a long time ago. He knew that all this would happen, so he chose me as the successor of the fire."
"As for why those high-ranking powerful people insist on asking you, Fellow Daoist Shen, to save the world, it is for no other reason than that. They should know that only you can save the world."
"Only me..." Shen Lang was silent for a long time.
He has experienced so much that he has long been numb to these things that seem to be destined.
But there was one thing he still couldn't figure out.
"Those sages and great masters who can predict future generations have long since perished. Why do they still care so much about whether the fairy world can survive?" Shen Lang was puzzled.
Even if the fairy world is destroyed, it has nothing to do with the deceased.
Why do they care so much and even go out of their way to save the world?
Hou Yi shook his head: "I can't answer this question for you, but I can tell you some of my guesses."
"What guess?" Shen Lang asked.
Hou Yi said bluntly: "There is a passage recorded in the first volume of the Book of Hetuluo. I will tell you, Taoist Shen, to hear it."
"At the beginning of the universe, creation appeared, chaos was born, and realms were formed."
"However, the way of heaven circulates and begins again and again, and all things will eventually return to their roots..."
After saying that, Hou Yi asked: "Let's not talk about the previous sentence for now, I wonder how Daoyou Shen understands the next sentence?"
Shen Lang thought for a moment and said: "The cycle of heaven and earth refers to the fact that the laws of operation of all things can be recycled. The world is reincarnated and endless. This is also an explanation of the laws of heaven and earth."
Hou Yi smiled and said: "Yes, Fellow Daoist Shen understands the first half, but do you know what the second half of the sentence, 'all things ultimately return to their roots', means?"
Shen Lang pondered for a long time, but did not understand the meaning of these words, so he shook his head, cupped his fists and said, "Please give me some advice from Senior Hou Yi!"
Hou Yi explained: "In the end, it returns to its roots, that is, in Sui Ren's view, all living things are born and live based on roots. When they are separated from the roots, they die, and eventually return to the roots."
"However, the cycle of heaven makes all this happen again and again."
"Based on the cognition of the Sui Ren clan's Yuan Shen that remains in my body, I can roughly guess that what the Sui Ren clan wants to express is that from the birth of the realm or even chaos, to the destruction of the realm or chaos, everything is in a cycle."
"Perhaps this world is already in a reversing hourglass of time, from birth to destruction, and then from destruction to birth, in an endless cycle."
"All of us, including everything in this world, are caught in this cycle."
"Even if Suiren died in the Hunyuan Era, as long as he ensures that this cycle does not stop, after the True Immortal World is destroyed and the world returns to chaos, the True Immortal World may experience a new 'Hunyuan Era' again. How can Suiren then?" Isn’t it the same as being resurrected again?”
Shen Lang was greatly shocked when he heard these descriptions from Hou Yi.
Could it be that the movement of time, the course of history, including his own actions to save the True Immortal Realm, are all cycles of established facts?
He suddenly thought that not long ago, Zhang Daoling in the ancient spiritual world mentioned the words "Reincarnation Era".
An era represents the process from the birth to the destruction of the true immortal world.
Could it be that the cycle of reincarnation refers to the continuous cycle of the birth and destruction of the true immortal world?
Shen Lang was extremely frightened when he thought about it carefully.
According to Hou Yi, everything that the True Immortal Realm experienced from birth to destruction is like a movie playing on a loop, with birth at the beginning and destruction at the end.
And connected end to end, it is a cycle.
Shen Lang suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
Everything Hou Yi said completely broke his cognition, and even made Shen Lang feel a little scared.
While being horrified, he suddenly thought of the first sentence that Hou Yi mentioned on the first page of the Book of Hetuluo.
