"You once asked me if I knew about Chen Nan's situation." Dugu Baitian was silent for a long time before speaking, "How could I not know? Everything he has experienced has been experienced by me. His struggle, his pain, I
I feel the same way.”
"Because senior, you are originally the way of heaven in this world." He Xie said in a positive tone, "You are trying to reduce and seek emptiness, and want to use the power of humanity to resolve all cause and effect. Or, you simply want the golden cicada to escape its shell.
"
By now, he had understood everything.
"good."
Sure enough, Dugu Baitian affirmed.
"Dozens of mythological times ago, I combined my body with Tao and became the sole ruler of this world. As a result, I clearly understood time and space, and knew cause and effect."
"I saw the shackles of cause and effect, and understood the poison of time and space..."
"The poison of time and space?" He Xie interrupted.
"Cause and effect are harmful, how can time and space not be poison?" Dugu Baitian said, "Causation binds you with shackles and turns into insects to gnaw at you. Finally, there are traces to follow. But the poison of time and space is the most deadly thing. It has no form.
Intangible and difficult to detect at all..."
"The harm of cause and effect is the surface, and the poison of time and space is the root. Only when you are poisoned by time and space can you have life and death, and only then can you have cause and effect. Time and space are the biggest disasters!"
He Xie's heart was heavy and he was speechless.
Is space and time also poisonous?
Then what is the purpose of practicing?
The longer you live, the deeper the poisoning becomes. It is worse than a mere mortal being who lives in ignorance for just a few decades.
"I tried all the methods, but couldn't escape. In the end, I destroyed all living beings and created new souls, and I became Dugu Baitian today."
"Dugu Baitian's mission is to defeat the sky. Only by defeating the old me will my karma be reversed. Only by killing the old me can the new me be reborn."
"I succeeded, but I also failed." Dugu Baitian sighed, "I succeeded because I did kill my old self, but I failed to achieve the ultimate goal."
The only truth about the world of Tomb of Gods is that Dugu Baitian is fighting with himself. Everyone in the world is his pawn, even Chen Nan in the past.
"Chen Nan must have told you that the Tianxin Seal is actually my beacon. With it, I can escape from my golden cicada shell at any time and change my life."
Chen Nan didn't say anything, he just said that the Tianxin Seal was a trap.
At this moment, Chen Nan's figure slowly condensed in the void not far away.
"Senior Chen." He Xie gestured with his hands.
Chen Nan nodded, looked at Dugu Baitian, and sighed: "You are still unwilling."
The original mass of heaven suddenly began to change, reborn into flesh and blood, and finally condensed into the image of Dugu Baitian.
He looked deeply at Chen Nan: "Because I know that you have completely given up. You abandoned your origin to refine the light cup, and replayed history again and again from your memory. If you want to restore everything, you are basically destroying yourself!
"
Chen Nan's eyes showed deep sadness: "I have walked the road you have walked, and I have walked the road you have not walked. I have struggled for more than 500 million years, but it is always in vain. There is no hope.
…I can’t hold on much longer, and I don’t want to die alone before I die completely.”
Even if he is as strong as Chen Nan, he is still in complete despair under the threat of cause and effect and time and space.
Dugu Baitian suddenly laughed loudly: "Since you can't go on, what's wrong with me continuing on for you? We monks are born to defy nature and fight for our lives! It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, Chen Nan, you actually accepted your fate.
!”
Chen Nan shook his head: "Dugu Baitian, do you know what is the biggest difference between you and me?"
Dugu Baitian frowned, with some sarcasm flashing in his eyes: "You are not going to tell me any nonsense about benevolence, justice and compassion, are you? When we reach the realm of you and me, we should know that everything in the world is like a dream in the face of cause and effect and time and space.
, not worth mentioning.”
"If it weren't for my righteousness and compassion, would it be possible for you to be resurrected, Dugu Baitian?" Chen Nan said lightly, "It is the righteousness and compassion that you sneered at that made it possible for you to stand in front of me again now.
"
Dugu Baitian's smile disappeared, and finally he twitched his lips and said, "This is really ironic."
"Yes, it's really ironic." Chen Nan said, "The two people I once admired most were my father and you. Even if you plotted against me with the Tianxin Seal and almost took my life away, I still think you are a
Respectable enemy, it wasn’t until I destroyed the world and destroyed everything that I began to understand that you are just a pathetic person.”
Dugu Baitian's expression did not change at all, and he said calmly: "Do you think you did something wrong?"
"Yes, I was wrong." Chen Nan sighed, "Faced with cause and effect and time and space, I had no other choice but to try my best to survive. The world became a burden to me, so I destroyed the world. I killed it with my own hands.
My family and friends, I use your example to comfort myself, and I convince myself that as long as one day I successfully get rid of cause and effect and transcend time and space, I will repeat everything and make up for everything I did to them."
"Isn't it supposed to be like this?" Dugu Baitian said, "Under the overthrow, how can the egg be intact? If you die, will your relatives and friends survive? Aren't you doing this for a more perfect reunion in the future?
"
"This is indeed the most correct reason." Chen Nan sighed, "Everyone who knows the truth thinks that I did the right thing, and they are even willing to sacrifice to fulfill me, just like when we followed you Zhan Tian
, sacrifice one's life for righteousness, die generously, and have no regrets."
Chen Nan looked at him: "But I killed them with my own hands after all, for myself. This became my inner demon, making it even more difficult for me to cut off the cause and effect and transcend the past. I finally understood that this was wrong. Even if it was wrong.
The result is the best, but a mistake is a mistake."
Dugu Baitian smiled softly: "It's just because of your own mental obstacles."
"This is the biggest difference between you and me." Chen Nan said, "In the end, I still live as a human being, but you are always a god."
These words not only silenced Dugu Baitian, but also shocked He Xie's heart.
Dugu Baitian shook his head: "Chen Nan, your weakness has doomed your end. You think I am ruthless, how could you know that I am not abandoning everything with the great perseverance to find a way to transcend for future generations?"
"Just like our ancestors who once drank blood and cared for hair, they followed the road without thinking about gains and losses, abandoning everything just to find a chance of survival. And Chen Nan, you are just a cowardly loser!"
"Maybe," Chen Nan smiled, "We have different paths and we don't want to work together."
"Indeed," Dugu Baitian also nodded, "It's not enough to say anything. Since you appear here, you won't let me live."
