These words of Daozu Hongjun reminded all the supreme beings of an eternal mystery, which is the dark mystery of the seventh era.
In that era, Bai Xiaosheng was extremely weak and fell into a deep sleep for a time. This only shows that the seventh era must be an extremely prosperous era.
However, that era was dark, and even time and space disappeared.
Where is the so-called prosperity?
As if he knew what everyone was thinking, Dao Ancestor Hongjun led everyone out of the palace and came to the observation deck at the highest point of the Dao Palace.
He said slowly: "This place can see the vastness and greatness of the heavens and the universe, but everyone knows that this place is also full of disasters and desolation. From the beginning of the world to the present, disasters have never stopped, and nothing has
Dying."
"Life was born here, wisdom was born, and many miracles were born, but it still cannot change the nature of this world that is full of disasters and life will inevitably wither."
"Have you ever thought about why we need to understand the Tao? Why do we need to hear the Tao?"
All the supreme beings looked at each other, they had their own answers in their hearts, but they didn't say it out loud.
Because Hongjun continued to talk.
He said with emotion: "On this issue, Shenque and I coincide. This is also the pattern that a truly great person should have."
"In the beginning, we realized Tao because Tao can bring us benefits, whether it is strength, wisdom, or the rules of heaven and earth. It can make us stronger in all aspects, so that we can not be bullied or bullied by others.
Kill, protect yourself, protect the people and things you cherish, even the country, and even civilization."
"I first realized it because the human race is too weak and we want to survive."
"At first we were unable to defeat ligers, tigers, bears and elephants, and we were prey in the mouths of these ferocious beasts. Later we learned to use tools, with stone knives and stone axes, and were able to dig traps and use tactics, part of which was to attract, and part to hunt."
"Slowly, all the murderers were no longer our opponents. We thought we had won, until one day I saw a divine ape that was more than three hundred feet tall. It was invulnerable to weapons, water and fire, and could blow us away with just one breath.
, one kick can crush our fortress to pieces."
"We were all desperate at that time because we couldn't find anything to defeat it, and later we found out that it wasn't powerful either."
"We saw giant dragons that were thousands of feet long, evil beasts that were thousands of feet tall, and even kuns that were thousands of miles long and roc birds that covered the sky and the sun."
"We are so humble."
"But along the way, what we rely on is never the body, but wisdom."
He looked at everyone and said with a smile: "I witnessed the death of that divine ape with my own eyes. A bolt of thunder and lightning illuminated the heaven and earth, destroying it directly. That bolt of thunder and lightning also illuminated my heart."
"We have controlled fire, and we can also use the power of water. Will we be able to control thunder and lightning one day?"
"I finally began to realize the Tao, and the human race rose up and became the largest race in the world."
"Countless civilizations were born, and the world moved from ignorance to prosperity."
The elder nodded and said: "It was really an age of blood and fire."
Dao Ancestor Hongjun continued: "The purpose of pursuing Dao in the first place was to gain strength and survive. The same is true for Shenque. His experience must be very clear to everyone."
"But slowly, we discovered that the enemies were not only foreigners, but also our own people. Without natural enemies, internal conflicts and entanglements emerged. The strong began to exploit the weak, and factions gradually divided."
"That's when I realized that we not only need power, but also rules, and Tao can inspire us."
"This is to establish an order so that the world can reproduce better. This is what is called caring for the world."
He looked at the sky and said with a faint smile: "The word "tianxia" is infinite. At first it was just a town, then it might be a country, then it was a continent, a star, then a galaxy, a star field, and a universe.
, to the countless dimensions of the universe, and even the eternity of time and space."
"Later I finally found out, what were the listeners doing at the end?"
"In fact, it is to make the entire world peaceful and let all living beings live better, and Dayan... is the ultimate opponent."
"Only when Dayan is defeated, the world will no longer have the final say, but will have the final say by us."
"We have the final say, so why are we afraid that there will be no peace?"
All the Supremes looked at each other and then nodded slowly.
Bing Zu frowned and said: "But we want to destroy this era that still has 900 million years of life. Isn't it too cruel? Although we are to defeat Dayan, to them, we are just executioners."
"Chu Xiang, there is something you need to understand."
Hongjun suddenly said: "Not just you, all of us must understand that we are not perfect gods, we are imperfect, we have all kinds of helplessness and shortcomings, we can only do what we think is right, and we cannot let others
Everyone is satisfied, understand?"
"If I want to consider the feelings of all sentient beings, I will never be able to defeat Dayan, because all sentient beings are afraid of death. All sentient beings only think about themselves and the present generation, but will not consider the future, let alone what will happen hundreds of millions of years later."
He looked at the sky, with all the stars and rivers in front of him, and murmured: "Back then, Prajna fought side by side with me. In the end, we had differences. I lied to him and betrayed him. Do you think he hates me? He doesn't hate me.
, I know it very well.”
"Because he knows that our purpose is the same, but the means are different. If he didn't see through my betrayal, it means that no matter how unreasonable my way is, it is still better than his."
"So he just regrets that he didn't find a more suitable path."
"As for the divine bird..."
He looked back at everyone and said calmly: "I know you all remember him. He is so amazing after all. Yes, he is indeed amazing. I have been studying his "Tao Yan" for five thousand years. It is full of wisdom and tolerance.
It’s also full of variables.”
"It's a pity that I can't find another way inside, because he is a traitor."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present suddenly changed.
Bing Zu said: "What do you mean? He is a traitor?"
Hongjun nodded and said: "One of the core ideas revealed from the beginning to the end in his "Tao Yan" is the eternity of variables and the eternal variables."
"What does the eternity of variables mean? He believes that variables exist forever and cannot be eliminated. And what does eternal variables mean? He believes that eternity appears in a specific period and cannot continue forever. It will eventually be eliminated.
Variable substitution."
"Did you find it? First of all, this is a paradox. The two conflicted and formed a deadlock. This is the reason why he failed to break through to the Ten Thousand Dao Hongmeng Supreme."
"Secondly, and most importantly, his thoughts cater to Dayan."
"He does not regard Dayan as an opponent, but as the foundation of Dayan."
"So if he lives, what will he develop into in the end? He will stand with Dayan and stand on the opposite side of us."
The heaven and earth are silent, and everything is silent.
All the Supremes had huge waves in their hearts. Daozu's words really shocked them.
The first choice is that they can't believe that Gu Que has already reached this level of Taoism and begun to comprehend such profound content. On the other hand, in their impression, Gu Que seems to have been emphasizing the importance of variables.
and greatness.
Daozu Hongjun sighed: "He is a genius, but he belongs to Dayan, but does not belong to our life."
"I have lived for countless years and traveled to many worlds. I see many problems more deeply than you do."
"This time I made this decision not out of impulse, but out of final redemption."
"It was indeed me who killed the Seventh Era. I took that power to the chess game of heaven and earth. This is why Prajna thought I had betrayed him, because he did not agree to kill Era. He believed that the soul of life was the soul of faith.
Strength is the most powerful."
"I don't think he's wrong, but I think I'm right."
"It's a pity that I still have one step left."
Having said this, his eyes sparkled and he added: "Until now, an extremely prosperous era has appeared. This time, I must defeat Dayan."
"Everyone, we have no chance to wait. Once the silence comes, the power of the era will be weakened, and we will only get further and further away from Dayan."
"In this era, whether you live or die depends on this decision now."
"So, I don't allow anyone to object. It's not that I can't listen to opinions, but that I have the most say in this matter."
