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 reincarnation of world affairs, and the endless meaning of life and death. 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 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 destruction of the True Immortal World, the world will return to chaos, and the True Immortal World may experience a new 'Hunyuan Era' again. How will Suiren do it by 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.
At the beginning of the universe, creation appeared, chaos was born, and realms were formed.
Shen Lang hurriedly said: "Senior Hou Yi, the first sentence you just said contains the three words 'creation appears'. I wonder what exactly 'creation' is mentioned in Hetu Luo Shu, and why can it be born out of the realm? "
"Young Daoist Shen is worthy of being a son of heaven. He explains the key points in one sentence!"
Hou Yi first sighed in admiration, then shook his head and said: "Actually, I don't know how to explain the word 'creation' in the Hetuluo Book, but I can give two guesses."
"The first conjecture is that 'creation' may be the source that gives birth to chaos, nurtures realms, and creates the rules of heaven and earth."
"The second conjecture is that 'creation' may be equivalent to a container that can store time, space, rules, boundaries, and all things in the world. The container records everything that the human realm has experienced, and it is constantly recycling everything. .”
Shen Lang was silent for a long time.
The first conjecture is easy to understand. Creation is the source of everything.
The second conjecture is a bit weird. Creation is like a disc, and time, space, the rules of heaven and earth, and even the entire realm are equivalent to the data stored in the disc.
Naturally, the data cannot be changed, just like God's will, unless it is the creator of the disc.
Listening to Hou Yi's tone, he was obviously leaning towards the second conjecture.
Shen Lang was extremely troubled and said in confusion: "Is everything that I have been pursuing so far an established fact?"
Only now did he understand why Zhang Daoling said something like "all living beings have been fooled".
Hou Yi sighed and said: "Maybe a powerful person like Suiren wants to change everything again and again, so he will guide you to save the world with all his strength, and want to find the answer again in the world after rebirth."
"Another example is the book of prophecy created by Patriarch Na Hongjun. He may not have relied on the art of dreaming to predict the future, but he created the book of prophecy by personally experiencing and knowing what happened in an era. , just to guide you.”
Hou Yi accidentally entered the star realm before the Lich War, and received the prophecy of the Lich Catastrophe and the Light from Heaven from the Galaxy Ancestor.
The reason is that the ancestor of Galaxy once peeked into the book of prophecy left by the Star Goddess.
Because of this, he responded so decisively to Shen Lang, shot the god-killing arrow, and died of exhaustion in order to defeat Qiongguang.
In fact, the moment he caught the god-killing arrow, he felt his fate.
Hou Yi added: "Of course, all this is my personal conjecture and may not be true... There may be many unknown secrets waiting to be discovered behind it."
"I think Shen Daoyou doesn't have to worry about whether history is an established fact. What you are pursuing is the fact. There is nothing more calming and comfortable than seeing is believing. Everything you do is meaningful. of. "
After hearing what Hou Yi said, Shen Lang's eyes gradually glowed with light.
Yes, even if you can't change all this, if you can witness it with your own eyes, this life will not be in vain!
