Zuo Chongming said: "The reason Yang Jian knows me is because of the third eye between his eyebrows, which is one of the ancient mantras."
"Based on the existence of this thing and the elements of chance, he accidentally got a glimpse of the future..."
"future?"
Lan Yu and others looked at each other in shock.
Zuo Chongming gestured: "Countless individuals come together, and each individual has different thoughts and behaviors, which will lead to changes in the future."
"In other words, there are countless possibilities in the future, and what Yang Jian saw is one of them, and then I exist among them."
Lan Yu was stunned: "This, this is too..."
"You think it's ridiculous?"
Zuo Chongming smiled casually: "Actually, it's nothing. Whether it's Dunyishu or other divination techniques, they are essentially the same."
"To put it bluntly, it is to use a certain method to get a glimpse of certain things that are likely to happen in the future. The longer the timeline, the greater the variables."
Longzu frowned and reminded: "Continue, continue..."
Zuo Chongming continued: "Then the question I asked, that is, does Heaven know that Buddhism is cultivating gods, actually has many meanings."
"As long as he gives the answer, many unasked questions in my heart will be answered. Do you understand?"
"able……"
Ancestor Tianhu and the others looked like primary school students listening to a lecture, nodding quickly.
Zuo Chongming paused for a few seconds and said thoughtfully: "At that time, Yang Jian's answer was that he knew, which solved a lot of my doubts!"
"While the Demon Court is still there, the soul of cultivating immortals will be sublimated for the third time. There must be guidance from Buddhism or those gods who cultivate gods."
"Because of this, the monks can break through their shackles, reach a new level, become stronger, and have the capital to fight against the demon court."
"The monks at the time didn't know that the other party was Shinto, but later in the process of fighting against the Demon Court, they gradually saw some clues."
"When Heaven was first established, Buddhism and Taoism were divided in order to compete for dominance. The immortals of Taoism finally understood the power of faith and vows."
"So, after the victory of the Taoist sect, many immortals will come to the world to punish evil and promote good, kill demons and eliminate demons, or leave behind Taoist traditions."
"The purpose has nothing to do with blessing the common people. It is mainly to imitate the gods and harvest faith, and secondly to rectify the reputation of the heaven."
Speaking of which.
Zuo Chongming turned over his hand and took out the list of gods, and sneered: "This thing was created during the catastrophe of the gods. It is an attempt by heaven to use the divine way."
"But it turns out that although the method of conferring a list of gods is effective, the cost is too high and the heaven cannot accept it at all, so there is no follow-up."
Longzu followed his train of thought and said thoughtfully: "So Heavenly Court gave up the pursuit of wish power?"
Zuo Chongming shrugged and said: "In a sense, it is true. After all, Shinto and Immortal Way are completely different, which is equivalent to starting over."
"Those immortals have finally become so powerful, how can they be willing to do it again? Moreover, the risks during this period are too great. If something unexpected happens, they will be gone."
"Of course, I'm talking about the majority, and I don't exclude certain minorities. There are many examples of immortals converting to Shinto in the Tribulation of the Gods."
Ancestor Tianhu said impatiently: "You continue."
Zuo Chongming thought for a while and continued: "It can be known from the relationship between Buddhism and Heaven, and Heaven's later abandonment of the pursuit of wish power."
"Although the power of belief is powerful, it is not omnipotent. It actually has limits and should be on the same level as the spirit of the fairy."
Long Zu's eyes widened: "What do you mean..."
"The upgraded version of the vitality of heaven and earth is the energy of fairy spirits. And things like resentment and yin energy can be upgraded to become the power of faith?"
Zuo Chongming nodded: "Yes, this is why many ghosts harm people and absorb their vitality and resentment, and then become stronger."
"Ghosts and evil spirits also have ways of cultivation. They can even become ghosts and immortals. Of course, ghosts and immortals are just a title. They essentially follow the divine way."
"That……"
Lan Yu couldn't help but make a sound.
Zuo Chongming glanced at her: "I know what you want to ask. You want to ask whether Shinto and Immortal Tao can practice at the same time, or can Shinto and Martial Arts coexist?"
Ancestor Tianhu asked slightly anxiously: "Can it be done?"
Existences like her and Lan Yu essentially have nothing to do with the demon clan.
Therefore, many of their bloodline magical powers are unable to be used, which in turn leads to a significant reduction in combat effectiveness, which makes them extremely uncomfortable.
If there was a way to restore the monster body, they would definitely not hesitate.
Zuo Chongming met their gazes and slowly shook his head: "It is impossible for Shinto and Immortal to practice at the same time. Heaven has tried it before, right?"
"As for Shinto and Martial Arts... I can't draw a conclusion yet, but I guess it's impossible because the two paths are completely different."
"Shinto starts from the soul, and abandons the physical body from the beginning. After successful cultivation, it rebuilds the golden body of merit. This is the yin pole giving rise to yang."
"The Immortal Way first reshapes one's own body, and then gradually involves the soul, sublimating several times and becoming stronger. This is the yin generated from the yang pole."
Lan Yu said unwillingly: "But isn't the result always a combination of yin and yang?"
Zuo Chongming rolled his eyes and said casually: "That's true in theory, but the actual situation is completely different."
"The cathode generates yang or the yang pole generates yin. The essence is that one party is dependent on the other. It is impossible for both sides to be equal."
Long Zu interjected: "Where is martial arts?"
Zuo Chongming was helpless: "Although martial arts also temper one's own body first, the key is... the path has not yet reached the stage of immortality."
Ancestor Tianhu felt disappointed: "So you can't be sure?"
"That's right."
Zuo Chongming nodded and then said: "But for now, it is not completely impossible."
Lan Yu was suddenly startled and suddenly realized: "I remembered that when Xiyun Mansion was still there, you seemed to be studying this aspect."
Zuo Chongming pondered and explained: "Research results show that the soul of a living being is a small magnetic field with a well-structured structure."
"Things like belief, willpower, resentment and yin energy are like particles attracted by a magnetic field. Only when the magnetic field is replenished will the magnetic field become stronger."
"The human body and spiritual veins are actually the same. It's just that the body is another kind of magnetic field, absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth."
Longzu asked eagerly: "What next? Have you figured out how to absorb it?"
"without."
Zuo Chongming shrugged and said helplessly: "As soon as I reached this point in my research, I became the enemy of the whole world and died without a burial place."
"..."
Everyone's expressions fell, and they all fell into silence.
After a while, Long Zu cursed: "Even if you resist for a while longer, you can extend it even for a few more years, maybe..."
"You think too much."
Zuo Chongming said calmly: "If you want to go further, it will be impossible in a short time. The only way is to go to the underworld."
In fact, not only this reason, but also the fact that current science and technology are not up to standard.
In other words, although I know that this thing has been researched, I am unable to do further research.
Long Zu touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "How about we retreat first and look for where the underworld is."
"After we come back, the battle in heaven will probably subside. Then there will be no delay in looking for clues."
Zuo Chongming sneered: "When we come back, all the shit will probably be gone, and there will only be a few unbeatable monsters left."
Long Zu's mouth twitched and he sighed helplessly: "... According to your wishes, we can continue after the injury recovers?"
"Um."
Zuo Chongming nodded, and then took out a thin book: "But before that, we can take a look at what is written in it."
This book was found in a battleship in Qilin's ancestral land and was sealed in a relic box at that time.
Moreover, the content of the book was recorded in a relatively remote language, and Zuo Chongming could not understand what was written in it.
But not long ago, he accidentally caught several higher-level relic boxes from the aftermath.
To his surprise, there was a commander's medal inside.
This thing not only has status significance, but it is also a simple language decipherer.
This is a safety device made to prevent the warship from accidentally landing and then escaping to certain planets, where federal soldiers are unable to communicate with the local indigenous people.
Zuo Chongming had explored it just now. The function of this thing is well preserved, and it can be used to decipher the contents of the book.
——

Months….
Capital City of Zheng State.
No, it should be called the capital!
Because with the development of science and technology, the low and simple houses in Beijing have long been replaced by high-rise buildings and neon lights.
Even though it was already late at night, there were still people coming and going on the streets. There were vehicles passing by and men and women wearing avant-garde clothes everywhere.
Nan Sheng stood by the window, quietly looking at this strange city from a distance, as if in a trance.
After a long while, a gust of night wind blew in his face. The coolness made him shiver and he came back to consciousness completely.
The eunuch walked over quietly, put the great cloak on him, and whispered: "Holy lord, be careful of the dragon body."
"well……"
Nan Sheng shook his head helplessly, with a hint of loneliness and boredom still lingering on his face.
The eunuch heard the sigh and asked softly: "Your Majesty is worried about those during the day..."
Nan Sheng sneered and said: "A mere merchant is not qualified enough to be taken seriously. I just thought of something and am alone."
"..."
The eunuch lowered his head and said nothing because he knew who the person Nan Sheng was talking about was.
——Zuo Chongming!
To be honest, everyone could see how happy Nan Sheng was when he learned about Zuo Chongming's death.
But this joy did not last long, the smile on Nan Sheng's face disappeared, replaced by loneliness and sadness.
When Zuo Chongming was alive, although he did not show any hostility, he was still the chief enemy in the hearts of the monarchs of various countries.
Moreover, Xiyun Mansion's huge industrial capacity and advanced scientific level have also made countries feel a sense of crisis and focus more on development.
The most important thing is that Zuo Chongming's existence is a lubricant because he trades with various countries.
But now with the death of Zuo Chongming, the Xiyun Mansion has been dismembered.
It has only been a few months and chaos has already appeared.
As frictions between surrounding small and medium-sized countries intensify, each country gradually turns to the opposite side, and the world situation is like a powder keg...
What's even more frightening is that without the barriers of Xiyun Mansion and Congyun Mansion, the group of bald donkeys entrenched in southern Xinjiang are starting to make moves.
I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup Zuo Chongming poured into them. These bald donkeys changed their previous indifference and acted more and more radically.
In just a few months, they actually started to try to extend their claws outwards, trying to encroach on the three prefectures around southern Xinjiang.
To this day, some people realize belatedly how indispensable Zuo Chongming and Xiyun Mansion are...
"you say……"
Nan Sheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Did Zuo Chongming expect this?"
"Clam?"
The eunuch was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled by what he meant.
Nan Sheng frowned: "What I mean is, did Zuo Chongming expect this... No, this is a hole he dug long ago."
The eunuch was puzzled: "What your Majesty means is..."
Nan Sheng licked his lips and murmured: "He did not attack Demon Tuoling for himself, but to help Zheng Guo expand its territory."
"Once the territory expands, I will inevitably develop it, but the Wu Kingdom is developing too fast, and I can't allocate too much power."
"So, the best way is to introduce foreign capital, open the door wide, and let them help Zheng develop Beihai Tianyuan..."
"In this way, these guys are bound to take root here and rapidly expand their power through development and pioneering activities."
"For me, and for Zheng Guo, they did assist in the development and their contribution was not small, but they ended up being a big loser afterwards..."
The eunuch was stunned: "Hiss... How is this possible? He is not a god, how can he predict the future?"
"No, he didn't expect it."
Nan Sheng whispered: "He is leading the trend and creating the future. He does not need to predict at all, because he can become whatever he wants the future to be."
The eunuch took a breath and turned pale with horror: "...This is too..."
"Have you noticed..."
Nan Sheng closed his eyes and said: "There have been conflicts within Wu State recently, and the real estate credit of Hong State has also become more and more serious..."
"The three major countries each have their own minefields, and there is no need to say more about the small and medium-sized countries. Do you think this is just a coincidence? No, absolutely not."
The eunuch asked doubtfully: "He, why did he do what he did?"
"have no idea."
Nan Sheng pondered and said: "But one thing is for sure, the internal conflicts are getting more and more intense, and the only way is to vent them..."
"And as friction between small and medium-sized countries continues, big countries will be dragged in involuntarily, and then it will be a real world war."
"As we all know, war will put all countries into a state of emergency, and all aspects will begin to accelerate. The final result..."
Having said this, Nan Sheng fell into silence.
The eunuch swallowed hard and said in a harsh voice: "We will die together."
Nan Sheng took a deep breath: "Yes, there is a high probability that we will die together, at least there will be no winner."
He smiled bitterly and added: "Perhaps Zuo Chongming had already anticipated his fate, so he dug a fatal hole for the Three Kingdoms before he died. He wanted the whole world to be buried with him."
