“Speak, give me a reason not to kill you.” Feeling the touch of a fist against his nose, the Respected God-hidden felt his heart almost leap from his chest, which was soon replaced by the joy of a narrow escape.
‘The divination has not been mistaken; this man is a Saint who takes the stability of the world as his mission. He will never allow the destruction of the Ten Thousand Realms.’
If he wants to save Ten Thousand Realms, then I won’t die.
“Being the Heavenly Dao, the more worlds I rule, the stronger I become. Why should I dig my own grave and let the Immortal Realm destroy the Ten Thousand Realms?”
“All actions were out of necessity.”
Jiang Li raised his eyebrow; the Respected God-hidden wouldn’t destroy the world for no reason.
“Do you know how I came to be?” the Respected God-hidden counter questioned.
“People kept praying to you, the Heavenly Dao, to open your eyes. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao grew sentient and you came to being?” Jiang Li questioned uncertainly, regurgitating what Dao Ancestor had once told the long-lasting Immortal Elder, who later relayed it to him.
“Right, it is a ridiculous reason, right?”
“My true body is the Heavenly Dao, the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao in your Nine Provinces. Oh, you folks refer to that thing as the Earth’s energy.”“Whether it’s the Heavenly Dao or Earth’s energy, both are born the same way – from the collective subconscious of all beings.”
“Even your crossing over was due to the collective will of all beings.”
Jiang Li pondered for a moment and said, “Are you trying to say that collective subconscious can be very scary?”
The Respected God-hidden shook his head. “No, what I want to say is not that the collective subconscious is scary, but that its unification is.”
“What’s the difference?” Jiang Li didn’t understand the Respected God-hidden’s point.
The Respected God-hidden solemnly shook his head. “The difference is enormous. Let’s consider it from another perspective.”
“If unified subconscious can give birth to the Heavenly Dao and find you, the savior; what is unified subconscious?”
“Unified intent is the unity of purpose, something people often refer to as ‘hearts striving for a common goal’.”
“So, if there’s only one person left in the world, wouldn’t all their thoughts be categorized as ‘unified intent’?”
As these words fell, Jiang Li’s pupils shrank in realization.
He had never thought about it like that before.
Yes, if there’s only one person left in the world, all their thoughts would represent ‘unified intent’, and they could do whatever they want.
“Do you need proof? What evidence do you have to support this?” Despite the fact that there seemed to be some truth to what the Respected God-hidden was saying, Jiang Li wasn’t prepared to fully believe it.
“What it said is true.” The Saints, Buddha, and the Immortal Emperor arrived at the center of the battlefield. All the immortal beings in the chaotic array knew about what the Respected God-hidden had disclosed, except the Queen Mother of the Earth.
They looked at Jiang Li with complex expressions. Jiang Li’s last move had completely subverted their understanding, and judging from his effortless demeanor, that was not the full extent of his strength.
How frightening!
Jiang Li glanced at the Saint, who nodded.
Jiang Li knew that the Saint had always resisted the Heavenly Dao. If the Saint said so, then it must be true.
“If you still refuse to believe, you can ask the Dao Ancestor which resides within Wu Zhi.” the Respected God-hidden suggested. It was telling the truth and had no fear of Jiang Li verifying.
“You can continue.”
The Respected God-hidden continued, “Before the birth of the Ten Thousand Realms, there was only one being in the world, Taichu.”
“As the only conscious entity, whatever Taichu desired, it was materialized. Anything, just by deploying a thought could be achieved.”
“Taichu created the nine laws of space, time, possibility, and others. These are the ultimate laws, fundamental laws. They are the foundation of how the world operates.”
“Because of this, the concept of space exists, which is where we reside. The concept of time came to be, and a timeline was born, along with the confluence of possibilities, creating the cycle of life, the path of immortality and even destruction.”
“Then Taichu created numerous entities, the Immortal Realm, the Ten Thousand Realms, and so forth. This is the real act of creation.”
“The Immortal Realm was the first world created by Taichu.”
“And the last entity Taichu created was man.”
“When the second person appeared in the world, and a second thought was formed, Taichu lost the power of creation, because the thoughts of one person will never be completely unified with another’s.”
“Then came the third person, the fourth person, the fifth person… Countless beings with consciousness appeared, and that led to the flourishing Ten Thousand Realms we see today.”
“Where is Taichu now?”
“Taichu is long dead. Taichu did not grant itself infinite life or immortality. After the world was created, it died not long after.”
The Respected God-hidden looked at Jiang Li and solemnly said, “At first, when I saw that you were beyond the normal rules, I thought you were Taichu reincarnated. But upon giving it a second thought, Taichu was just the first conscious being capable of creating. It isn’t as strong as you. Even if it reincarnated, it would have to abide by the rules.”
“Also, it’s uncertain whether Taichu has actually reincarnated or if it has truly perished.”
“Your strength is unprecedented.”
“Taichu created only one world, but due to the existence of the rule of possibilities, the decisions made by humans, and the random happenings of things, parallel worlds were born.”
“Whether it’s this world, parallel worlds, the timelines, or the confluence of possibilities, they are all subjected to the rule of destruction.”
“The Observer’s world named the rule of destruction as the ‘Black Tide’. I will call it the same for ease of your understanding.”
“Now, the Black Tide has completely devoured the confluence of possibilities. There are no living beings and no dead ones either, only the Black Tide.”
“Think about it, in the confluence of possibilities, the potential of people maximizes. Everyone there is a deity, immensely powerful.”
“To become a deity for the beings there is easy. Heavenly Immortals, Golden Immortals, the Chaotic Absolute Immortal… there are too many to count, and therefore the Heavenly Dao birthed there is the strongest.”
“Despite this, the confluence of possibilities was swallowed up by the Black Tide, rendering all resistance futile.”
“The Black Tide took over the confluence of possibilities, converting the ‘possibility of spreading’ into an ‘inevitable spread’. It’s next step? To devour other worlds.”
“I can communicate with the Heavenly Dao of parallel worlds. As far as I know, hundreds of parallel worlds have already been devoured.”
Having said this, the Respected God-hidden felt heavy in his heart. The Heavenly Dao of parallel worlds isn’t much different than his own. If the Black Tide can devour other Heavenly Dao beings, it could also devour him.
When faced with the Black Tide, when faced with the rule of destruction, no one can do anything.
“Now the only thing left to do is to pray.”
“Pray for the Black Tide to devour other parallel worlds, and for us to become the only remaining world.”
“Once the Black Tide comes to our world, we must ensure that I am the last one to be devoured.”
“In that scenario, I would become the sole survivor of all worlds and my thoughts would be the only ones.”
“At that moment, I would change the nine major rules to eight, eliminating the rule of destruction. The Black Tide would naturally retreat.”
“Afterwards, using my intent, I would resurrect our world.”
