Chapter 723: Cutting off the long river of time and escaping from the beginning
"Nine hundred and ninety-nine..." Tie Tang murmured silently, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.
Nine is the ultimate number!
It is both the 'yang number' and the 'pole number', referring to the height of the sky as the 'nine levels' and the extremes of the earth as the 'nine springs'.
But nine is not a real number, but an imaginary number.
Since orthodoxy in the world has a certain number, it should come to an abrupt end at some point among nine, ninety-nine, or nine hundred and ninety-nine, or nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.
It shouldn’t be a number of a thousand!
Tie Tang carefully savored the meaning, combined with his own past experiences and his understanding of the Human Emperor and Taiwu Nirvana Code, and gained many new insights.
And Pan Xuan didn't say anything to disturb him, he just stared carefully at the supreme orthodox leader in front of him.
As the remnant soul of Pan Xuan's true body, Pan Xuan, who incarnated as Zhu Shi Lu, did not know Tie Tang, nor did he know his personality, qualifications, or personality.
He also just learned from the calculation that Tie Tang is not only the master of the most orthodox, but also one of the last two orthodox.
It contained so much information that Pan Xuan had to re-examine the man in front of him.
A few moments.
Tie Tang asked quietly: "Since the orthodox way stops at a thousand, does that mean...
Everything in the world——
Is it finally the orthodox path of a thousand?"
Pan Xuan nodded without hesitation.
Tie Tang suddenly frowned and confirmed again: "Will everything in the world be completely destroyed by that time?"
Since the orthodox path only reaches the Human Emperor's Taiwu Nirvana Ceremony, it means that there will be no orthodox path in the future after the Human Emperor.
But as long as there are living beings in the world, how can there be no orthodoxy?
In other words.
There is no orthodox world, that is, a world without any living beings.
Everyone and everything will be completely destroyed in the future after the Human Emperor.
unless.
The orthodox era of the Human Emperor can last forever and last forever!
But this is also something that goes against the principles of heaven and earth and is impossible.
No orthodox era can exist forever, and there will always be replacements.
Faced with Tie Tang's question, Pan Xuan also fell into deep thought.
a long time.
He then slowly said: "This question... there is no definite answer, or I don't know it either.
The situation you mentioned is possible, and according to the calculations of those who are the most powerful -
This is a very likely situation!
As I said before, everything in the world has an origin and an end.
The era of great destruction and great annihilation will eventually come, and no one can stop it!"
Although what Pan Xuan said was in line with what Tie Tang was thinking, he still found a glimmer of hope in Pan Xuan's hesitant words.
"You are not sure, does that mean... there is still a chance of improvement? Or does the change in the future not necessarily mean complete destruction?"
"Yes!" Pan Xuan nodded solemnly.
His expression didn't look like he was faking it, nor did he look like he was deliberately making up lies to comfort Tie Tang.
Even Tie Tang doubted whether Pan Xuan had such similar emotions?
"The orthodox avenue is protected by the way of heaven, favored by the way of heaven, and also assisted by the general trend of heaven and earth.
In an era without orthodoxy, it is very likely that there is no way of heaven, and it may be difficult for future generations to imagine what kind of environment that was.
That's why.
Only then, including you and me, and some extremely ancient beings, all believe that after the orthodoxy is destroyed, the world will be completely destroyed.
The entire universe and starry sky, including the land of chaos and nothingness, will cease to exist.
but……"
When Pan Xuan said this, he changed the subject. He looked straight at Tie Tang and said solemnly: "There are also people who think... that is nothing. There is no way of heaven, no orthodox era... and it does not mean anything at all.
significance.
because.
Such an era has already happened!"
"When?" Tie Tang was surprised and doubtful, and then added: "Could it be that you are referring to the time at the beginning of the creation of the world when yin and yang were not separated, and the turbid and the clear were not determined?"
Pan Xuan shook his head repeatedly: "No, no!"
"This period of time is indeed extremely desolate, and there will be no orthodoxy, but it is just a fleeting time.
Moreover, there was no orthodoxy at the beginning of the world, but it does not mean that there was no way of heaven.
The way of heaven precedes heaven and earth!
The Mother Nest of Heavenly Dao in front of us gave birth to existences such as Taichu Heavenly Dao. Even though it was suppressed, it still gave the world the concept of 'Tiandao'.
Every time the heaven and earth are created in future generations, the way of heaven precedes the birth of heaven and earth."
Hearing these words, Tie Tang frowned.
Pan Xuan revealed so much information that Tie Tang began to subconsciously connect what he knew in the past, as if he would guess the truth in the next breath.
"Every time there is a new beginning in the future..." Tie Tang muttered this sentence, but there was still something he hadn't thought through.
Long before Pan Xuan appeared, he already knew that there were many orthodoxies in the world.
As for these orthodox avenues, except for the Suiren family, the great king, and Shao Siming, the orthodox avenues of others simply did not have the right time period to leave enough traces in history.
Including the previous trip to the world where Thirteenth Lang of the South China Sea was located, Jiang Kui, as the last orthodox pioneer of that world, met an extremely miserable end.
But he is indeed orthodox!
At the beginning.
Tie Tang believes that these extra orthodox pioneers and extra orthodox avenues happened in a certain region or world in the chaos of the universe.
They are just in different regions from the Great Shang era!
However, as my cultivation became more advanced, my vision broadened, especially after I saw the Divine Tree of Destiny and the infinite existence.
Tie Tang no longer has much confidence in this guess.
In the boundless chaos, the boundless universe, and the vast starry sky, there are indeed many creatures and civilizations.
but--
Even if it is so huge and broad, even the starry sky of the universe that the peak immortal emperor cannot explore in his lifetime, it is impossible to give birth to so many infinite beings like Ena.
It is even less likely that a second Divine Tree of Destiny and a second Immortal Palace of Good Fortune will be born.
The world is boundless, the only one who is strong is the strong!
Tie Tang had no doubts about this.
The world that Thirteenth Brother lives in, and the era that Jiang Kui lives in, has countless existences, including the Divine Tree of Destiny, the Immortal Palace of Creation, and other wonders of heaven and earth.

That world, that era, must be incomparably real and unique, something that cannot be copied, and even fantasy simulations cannot evolve.
It can be deduced from this...
Instead, Tie Tang came up with an incredible conjecture.
"Is the world I live in, and this entire business, an illusion?"
As soon as this conclusion came out, Tie Tang himself was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and felt a chill running down his spine.
Even if we extrapolate from ancient times, the Great Shang era only lasted two to three million years.
In the past, he would have thought it was very long.
But when it comes to the realm of the Immortal Emperor, two million years seems too short.
When you first enter transcendence, you can live a million years. If you sit on the throne of a deity, you can live for 9.99 million years and live for almost tens of millions of years.
And this.
It is just the life span of a Heavenly Lord, one of the most insignificant miraculous powers of a Heavenly Lord that reaches heaven and earth.
What about the immeasurable being above the Heavenly Lord?
Obviously.
The two to three million years of "heavy" history in the Great Shang era simply cannot give birth to immeasurable existence, nor can it bear the emergence of immeasurable things.
Compared to Wuliang and the Divine Tree of Destiny, the longevity of the world in which I live is only equivalent to the two or three Nirvana Dao Fruits hanging on the top of the Divine Tree, which is really insignificant.
If the world you live in is the real one, it is the only one.
This answer...even Tie Tang himself found it hard to believe.
"I am not a person from the Great Shang era. If even Great Shang is an illusion, then where is the world I originally lived in?
Could it be that everything I have experienced so far...is all an illusion?"
Tie Tang's chest kept rising and falling, blood surged up on his face, and there was another gap in his mood.
Pan Xuan's unconscious words caused his entire worldview to collapse. He was unable to distinguish what was true and what was false, and he immediately doubted himself.
For an Immortal Emperor, this is an almost impossible question. Even for a mortal, the answer can be blurted out without thinking, without the slightest doubt.
Who... would doubt that the world they live in is an illusion?
Seeing his appearance, Pan Xuan immediately realized that what he had just said might have gone against Tie Tang's past knowledge.
Pan Xuan waved his hand, and the Records of the Worlds flipped continuously, finally stopping on one of the pages, and two lines of golden Buddhist inscriptions appeared in the void.
"The supreme and profound Dharma has been encountered in hundreds of millions of calamities. Now I have seen and heard it and upheld it. I am willing to understand the true meaning of the Tathagata!"
When Tie Tang looked at it, the blood in his chest dropped, and his mind calmed down a little. This was not because he had made up for the gap in his mood, but because he was replaced by new questions.
"The meaning of Buddhist scriptures? How do you know?"
In Tie Tang's understanding, Buddhism was only born during the Great Shang era, and even the first Tathagata died after reaching transcendence.
Even the Ten Thousand Flowers Lotus of Merit and Virtue that He saved has been reincarnated in the world again and again.
And since Pan Xuan doesn't know the Suiren clan or the Great Lord King, he should and shouldn't know about the existence of Buddhism.
"Buddhism?" Pan Xuan curled his lips and smiled: "Buddhism and Taoism have been born a long time ago. According to the time you can understand, it approximately appeared...in the era after the ninth orthodoxy.
Of course I know the meaning of their scriptures, and even the major Buddhist schools of Buddhism, I am also familiar with them."
Tie Tang's heart moved, and he immediately came back to his senses and asked slowly: "The various eras, various worlds, various orthodoxies you mentioned...
When and where did they occur?
What does it have to do with the era I live in...?
As far as I know, the world I live in does not have such a long time at all!"
"How is it possible?" Pan Xuan was surprised.
Only then did he understand what Tie Tang was struggling with before, and said casually: "You will find out soon after you go to the river of time. Why are you troubled by such a simple problem?"
"The River of Time?" Tie Tang was startled, and then said seriously: "The River of Time, I have been there a lot.
There... there is no such a long and rich history!"
"oh?"
When Pan Xuan heard this answer, he did not rush to refute it, but thought carefully for a moment.
soon.
He gave his own answer.
"The long river of time is the only thing in the world and the witness of the changes in the universe. Even countless existences cannot destroy the long river of time.
It records everything that has happened throughout the ages!
Later generations can see fragments of what happened in the past from the long river of time.
Forefathers can also see glimpses of future generations from the flickering waves of the long river of time.
You said you couldn't see...
Then I guess.
The long river of time must have been cut off by someone, or it may have been covered up by people with great supernatural powers, hiding most of it. It may also be that the turbulence of the long river of time itself has made some parts of the past turbid.
No matter what the outcome is, this is bound to happen.
And this.
This is also one of the main reasons why my true body, with a heart of great compassion, gave up my true body and created this record of all worlds!"
When Pan Xuan said this, there was finally a hint of loneliness on his face, mixed with a bit of sadness, as if he was missing 'himself'.
And his reply made Tie Tang immediately have his own answer.
Thinking of those two endless silhouettes, Tie Tang now fully understood the meaning of their existence.
"Master...have you cut off the long river of time? Why do you do this..."
The Great Lord King Jiyou is the only infinite being born since the beginning of the world of Great Shang.
According to Tie Tang's current understanding, the way of heaven in the Great Shang world has probably not grown to the stage where it can support an infinite being.
That is to say.
Even in theory, the Infinite Great Lord King should not have appeared so early.
Here.
It also hides another shocking secret.
"You said you've been to the River of Time, then briefly describe the scene there, and I might be able to tell the specific reason.
Pan Xuan's words interrupted Tie Tang's thoughts.
This question is not difficult to answer, and Tie Tang doesn't want to hide it. He also wants to see... what Pan Xuan can infer from this.
After Tie Tang told the story of the long river of time, Pan Xuan showed his original expression.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He nodded secretly, showing a hint of admiration: "In future generations, it is indeed your blessing to have such a powerful and fearless hero as the Great Lord King.
.
Sure enough.
The changes in Jiuji will not be without reason, everything has already had a reason.
What's more, we have reached the age of a thousand and the Nirvana Orthodoxy is about to be born. How could the previous pioneers of Orthodoxy... have no trace of cause and effect?"
Pan Xuan was able to see through a leopard and know autumn when a leaf falls, but Tie Tang did not have this ability, because his knowledge of the inside story was far inferior to the former.
Just as he was about to speak, Pan Xuan waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say anything. I know what you want to ask, but as of now, I don't know if you can bear what I say."
"I can!"
"You can't!"
Pan Xuan walked around Tie Tang with his arms crossed, saying as he walked: "I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Is there any good news here? Just tell me." Tie Tang disagreed.
"You are the culprit of the Nine Extremes Change and the herald of the arrival of Nirvana Orthodoxy. You may not understand the meaning.
To put it simply, in the outside world, there will definitely be experiences for you to intervene and participate.
For this reason, the Nine Extremes Change was born, and the Nirvana Orthodoxy was born.
Extrapolating from this result, we can conclude that you cannot die here, which means you will definitely get out."
Tie Tang shrugged his shoulders and did not show much joy. It was not that he was completely sure of getting out, but that he did not have a deep sense of crisis about 'die here of old age'.
after all.
He has only been here for a few days? How many months?
The time is too short. Compared with his own lifespan, if he had been in the realm of Taichu for a hundred thousand years, his energy and blood were declining, and his appearance was fading with old age, he might be very excited about this good news.
"Where's the bad news?"
"The bad news is... I may have found a way to help you get out." When Pan Xuan said this, his eyebrows were furrowed, as if he was in a huge dilemma.
Tie Tang was puzzled: "Obviously this is good news!"
"You don't understand."
Pan Xuan sat down facing the front of the Tiandao Monument, and said slowly: "What I just said is your original destiny, and it is also what will inevitably happen in the course of the world.
but.
The way I found to help you get out is to take you to an incredible era.
There.
Whatever happens, it's no surprise.
Even if you die there and change the course of all future generations, it is only natural and in compliance with destiny!
Do you understand?"
Tie Tang also sat down next to Pan Xuan and said calmly: "You mean... if I die here, it will violate the future, the orthodoxy and the process of the Nine Extremes Change, which is impossible to happen.
.
But I went to the era you mentioned. If I die there, will it mean that I conform to the times and conform to the destiny?"
"good!"
"This... is too contradictory? Why?" Tie Tang couldn't understand.
Pan Xuan looked at the Tiandao Monument in front of him and solemnly said: "Because the era I want to take you to...
There was no way of heaven and no orthodoxy. It was an era completely different from any other period.
After orthodoxy is annihilated, why is it not necessarily the extinction of all living things? Why is there still hope?
The source comes from that era.”
"What, there is no way of heaven, no orthodoxy? Such an era really exists... then it must be extremely dangerous, right?"
"Are you cowardly?"
"joke!"
"Whether it's dangerous or not, I actually don't know because I haven't been there either."
Hearing these words... Tie Tang was speechless. He really wanted to beat up Pan Xuan next to him.
"No, what have you been talking nonsense for so long? You've never been there, so do you know where I will die? Do you know where I can find a way to leave this place?"
"Of course I know." Pan Xuan said matter-of-factly.
"Because of that era..."
"There are existences that I don't dare to mention, or even think deeply about, and yet it's them... who once suppressed the Taichu Heavenly Dao!
It is the Taichu Heavenly Dao that was born from this mother nest of Heavenly Dao in front of you and me, the great Heavenly Dao that once defeated me in three moves and gave birth to countless small Heavenly Dao in later generations, the beginning of Heavenly Dao, the Taichu!"
Tie Tang opened his mouth wide, and for some reason, endless excitement surged in his heart.
"So I said, if you die in their hands, your death will really be in vain, and I might even be buried with you.
No matter what cards you hide, how many secrets you have, or how much power you have left behind by existence, you will be blind when facing them.
No one can save you!"
Tie Tang stood up in a swish and said: "Stop talking nonsense, I just have a question! How do you take me there?"
"There was nothing I could do."
"But in the later generations, there are indeed amazing talents. If you and I want to go back to that era, and if you want to escape from this place, you have to rely on this method."
Pan Xuan waved his hand, and a golden scripture appeared on the Records of the Worlds.
The first four characters tell the origin of this exercise.
