Chapter 482: Breaking and Standing (Finale: Part II)
Time flies, and hundreds of years have passed in a trance.
The Wild Star is long gone, when that star crossed the border, causing the entire planet's ecosystem to collapse, and after Qu Shan chased the resentful spirit, the entire planet collapsed, and the Wild Star was divided into several pieces, scattered into the starry sky, gradually divided, and could no longer be inhabited by humans.
The only people who survived that catastrophe were the people who were saved by Qu Shan and put into the world where Taijitu was. After that, Qu Shan had adjusted the world on that side, but the scope of this world was really limited, and people of all ethnic groups were distributed among it, plus mountains, rivers, grasses, insects, fish, birds and beasts, they were crowded, and there was no longer an inch of extra space.
After that, Qu Shan went to the Kunlun world again, but found that although Kunlun was not affected by the Savage Star on the surface, in fact, this space and the main space of the Savage Star were interdependent, and as soon as the Savage Star collapsed, the world was gradually unstable and gradually on the verge of collapse. Qu Shan racked his brains for this, but couldn't find a way to support it.
On the other side, the Demon Venerable Munch of the Heavenly Demon Sanctuary had been chased into time and space by a blow from Kaas gathering the power of hundreds of heavenly gods in the underground world, and he had tried all his means before he was seriously injured and returned. This time he was more seriously injured, the internal injuries that were originally suppressed by the secret method broke out again, and the injuries were added to the injuries, and they were out of control from then on, seeing that Munch's physical condition was getting worse, the restless elements in the Heavenly Demon Temple became active, gathered more than twenty kingdoms, and took the power from Munch. The position of the Demon Venerable lasted for more than two million years in Munch, and finally fell into the hands of others.
The arrogant Munch couldn't withstand the blow, and on the day the new Demon Venerable ascended the throne, he vomited three liters of blood and died with a loud scream. A generation of heroes, but the end is so miserable.
However, the newly ascended Demon Venerable did not have long to be complacent, and a terrifying news reached his ears: the Jianmu Divine Tree began to wither!
This divine tree across the starry sky supported the whole world, but now, it has gradually lost its former aura and is withering. The first to be affected was the internal space of the Divine Tree, including the location of the Heavenly Demon Temple! Because of the loss of the Divine Tree's spiritual energy, the huge internal space gradually could not be supported, and it began to shrink day by day, and every day, you could feel how much this space had shrunk again. By the time the people of the temple noticed that something was wrong, the space had shrunk by a third.
Then, the reduced space could no longer be restored, and gradually, the edge of the void approached the Heavenly Demon Temple, and dozens of Heavenly Demon Kingdoms inside the Divine Tree were in chaos, and the residents rushed to escape, but ...... This side of the world, unless you flee to the world outside the tree, where can you flee to? The constant migration only delays the time of death.
At the same time, the starry sky world outside the tree also began to disappear from the most marginal area. The Heavenly Demon Kingdom on the periphery of the starry sky was within the range of this disappearance, but in just a few decades, three or four kingdoms had disappeared. The starry sky was too vast to move all the people out, and only the strongest at the top fled their homeland before the kingdom disappeared. They watched their homes be eaten away by nothingness little by little, and returned to no trace, but they could only leave far away with a heart full of tragedy.
For hundreds of years, the trend of the starry sky collapsing is gradually intensifying, and now, it is about to collapse to the location of the original barbarian star.
There is no wild star here, and it is nothing if it collapses, but there is also a Kunlun world connected to the main space, when the main space collapses, the Kunlun world will lose its support, or it will wander in endless time and space, or it will disappear directly and no longer exist.
The people of the Kunlun world dare not face all this with a gambling mentality, because once the gamble is lost, it will mean losing everything. As a result, people have come up with ideas to preserve this part of the world.
Qu Shan is naturally doing his best, Kunlun is a sacred and beautiful place in his heart, he can't watch the last pure land disappear from his eyes after the collapse of the Wild Star.
But what can be done?
The Kunlun world is no less vast than the Savage Star, and it is located in different dimensions, no one can remove this world, and can only find a way from other aspects. Inadvertently, Pei Cainan mentioned to Qu Dan: "Put it in your world too." Qu Dan Huo Ran woke up, and turned helpless, the world of Taijitu can't even let go of a corner of the Kunlun world, let alone the whole world? He frowned in the starry sky, thinking about what could be solved.
Kaus quietly appeared beside him, his eyes distant, and he didn't know what he thought. After a long time, he said, "Olympus, can't it be revived......
The song list was silent.
"There should be a way, right?" asked Kaus again.
Qu Shan nodded: "If there is a person who can break through the realm of cause and effect and reach the realm of the legendary saint between heaven and earth, he will have a way." ”
Kaus was gloomy, that realm...... Looking at the entire starry sky, no one can reach it, not the Demon Venerable, not the Surprise Adult, not the Takaus, and not the song list. To all the gods, it was just a legend, a distant dream.
"Perhaps, it is also a way to gather the power of all the gods and create another world. The song list continued.
Caius's eyes lit up, and he stared at the song list with burning eyes: "Your piece of world is very good, if there is a way to open up a bigger one, it can fit into dozens of planets, but it can really become another world!"
Qu Shan shook his head: "Impossible, that world has now exhausted all my magic weapons, and the space has been expanded to the end, and it can't be bigger anymore." ”
Both of them were silent, silent. Kaus didn't know when he left, Qu Shan couldn't think about the result, and still returned to the Kunlun world, this world, at most, can last for two or three years, and when the time comes, it will disappear in the eyes of the world like the Savage Star.
In the blink of an eye, it was a few months, and on this day, Kaus suddenly found the song list and said, "If I have a way to expand your world, can you promise me one thing?"
"What?"
Kaas turned and left, "Come with me, come into your space." ”
The two entered, the earthly world is on the eighteenth layer of hell, this world is not very vast, with a radius of more than ten thousand miles, and now it is occupied by the "refugees" of the Barbarian Star, and no more people can come in. The two of them went straight to Kaus's residence here, and Gaia and the five of them greeted him together.
The host sat down, and Kaas asked Gaia and a few people to stand aside, and said to Qu Dan: "I will help you expand this space, enough to fit dozens of planets, but you promise me that in this world, you will leave a place for my Olympus clan, so that Gaia and them can continue the glory of our clan......"
Qu Shan nodded: "I promise you, what can you do?"
"This is what Gaia and Tartarus came up with, to suppress nothingness by themselves, to evolve space, and to form the world!"
Qu Shan stood up in shock: "How can such a method be used? Isn't it self-defeating!?"
Kaus smiled and said: "I have thought for a long time, for the glory of my clan, there is nothing that cannot be done, when I was in the underground world, I had the will to die, and it is already an additional gain to live for these hundreds of years." I don't have any regrets, so you don't need to say more. ”
Qu Shan was speechless, this person's brain was burned out by faith. Turning his head to look at the five sisters and brothers of Gaia, hoping that these guys could persuade their father, but Qu Shan saw five pairs of firm eyes, and several of them said together: "Uncle, you just agree, for the glory of my clan, there is nothing that can't be done!"
Qu Dan was so angry that he brushed his sleeves away.
The six people were blinded by the glory of Olympus, believing in faith, faith is to make people live better, not to die. He found that Kaas had gone to an extreme, just like the Demon Venerable Munch, who would do whatever it took to achieve his ends, which was not what he wanted.
It's just that the collapse of the starry sky is one step closer, and the Kunlun world can't be saved.
In the evening, Gaia led his four younger siblings to meet Qu Shan and said: "Uncle may think that his father's actions are to send him to his death, and he is not worth it, but why doesn't my uncle think about it from my father's standpoint? He has been running for the glory of Olympus all his life, trying his best, but he has never succeeded, but now there is an opportunity in front of him, if he can sacrifice himself to achieve his dream, it is not a kind of fulfillment." The reason why people cultivate is to master more power and achieve their own goals, but what this purpose is is not the same for everyone...... Uncle can't dismiss his sacrifice just because he thinks differently from you......"
The song sheet fell into deep thought.
Yes, he thought Kaas was stupid because he stood on his own and felt that it was foolish to give up his life for an inexplicable belief, but in Kaus's view, it was the best way to achieve his goal. Life and death are not so important, at least in the eyes of the gods, they are not the only yardsticks......
After a few days, Qu Shan found Kaas and said, "The children have convinced me, what do you need me to do?"
Kaus smiled: "Without him, just keep me the glory of the Olympus clan." ”
Qu Shan nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, I will do it." ”
Next, Qu Shan collected dozens of innate magic weapons from the gods, and after using up the ninety-nine innate magic weapons to support the space, Kaus incarnated into the void, with the Taiji diagram as the outline, and the ninety-nine innate magic weapons as the foundation of the self-created world, Huo Ran was expanded thousands of times wider, enough to accommodate dozens of planets!
"Kunlun, I'm here!" Qu Shan turned around and returned to Kunlun, discussing with the powerhouses of the Kunlun world to move this world into his world. In the end, it was decided that a hundred god-level powerhouses would take action, hold up the entire space, and transfer.
"——! Start"
The space oscillated, and this side of the world was removed by the whole block. With the removal of the Kunlun world, the collapse of the starry sky finally descended on this void, seeing the black starry sky, inch by inch turned into nothingness, there was nothing left, and the remaining gods of the barbarian star were all sighing.
The era of barbarism has finally come to an end with the collapse of this starry sky!
"Let's go. Pei Cainan pulled the song list and said, next to her stood Bai Ling, Zheng Mu and Xiao Luoyan sisters.
Qu Shan nodded and retreated into the depths of the starry sky.
As Jianmu withers, the starry sky of the universe will become smaller and smaller, and in the end, it will shrink to the point that there is nothing left in the entire starry sky except Jianmu, and they are in danger of being swallowed by nothingness if they stay here now.
All the way forward, everyone's final destination is to build a wood sacred tree. There, wait for hundreds of thousands of years, maybe wait until the starry sky perishes, then shuttle to another dimension, start a new life, maybe just in this space, watch the starry sky annihilate, and finally return to nothing.
The universe is born and dies, but it is like this.
A few years later, the last gods of the Savage Star - Lu Press, Nuwa, Kunpeng and so on a total of about 100 people, as well as dozens of strong people in the Kunlun Realm who came out with the song list to walk in the starry sky, plus Gaia and other five people, came to the Heavenly Demon Kingdom where the Wood Divine Tree was built.
The city of holy springs, the city that Qu Dan has come to several times, was in a panic at this time. The speed of annihilation of the internal space of the Jianmu Divine Tree was much faster than that of the starry sky, and now more than half of the void had disappeared, and countless powerhouses of the inner kingdom began to flee outside, so the five heavenly demon kingdoms above the divine tree became a refuge for these people. At this time, the chaos of the Holy Spring City was comparable to the scene of thousands of empty alleys when the caravan from the country came to Storm Bear City.
No matter which race, their nature is the same, and they will not hesitate to do anything for the sake of life.
The group did not rush into the city of holy springs in a big way, but found a remote area outside the city and settled down. Now the strength of the Barbarian Star has been greatly damaged, and they can't withstand the desperate efforts of defeating each other with the Heavenly Demon Clan, besides, what they have to do now is just wait for the final result, not find someone to take revenge. What's the point of revenge now, it's not going to perish with the stars in the end......
Decades in a flash.
During this period, the two sides were at peace and there was no conflict. The area above the Jianmu Divine Tree is vast, and Qu Dan and the others hide far enough away to avoid being discovered. Every once in a while, Qu Shan will step into the starry sky to see where the galaxy has collapsed, and every time he looks at it, he will find that it shrinks a little faster, and the speed of annihilation is jaw-dropping.
Qu Shan also went to the underground world once, which can no longer be called a world, and it is more appropriate to call it a "dead land". There is no life, there is no aboriginal people, there is only a dead silence, it is an abandoned world.
And the internal space of the Divine Tree has finally reached the point of life and death, and a large number of Heavenly Demon Clan demons have swarmed out, occupying various areas on the Divine Tree, as long as they can be stationed at the place where they can stay, they can see the figure of the Heavenly Demon Clan wherever they are. The space of Qu Dan and the others was compressed, but fortunately, this last team was the most elite members, and several psychedelic arrays were propped up, so the demons could not find their traces.
Qu Shan entered the inner space to look, and found that the heavenly demons gushing out of the tree were only one in a million, and more demons were blocked in the underground world and could not get out, bustling, a scene of the end of the world. There is nowhere to hide, only a dead end.
Wails, cries, desperate eyes, heartbreaking, intertwined. The scene at this time is so similar to the end of the Savage Star.
Qu Shan walked around and found that the inner world had been compressed to the extreme, and the original vast space could be seen through at a glance at this time, with only tens of thousands of kilometers in front and after. In sight, except for the fleeing Heavenly Demon Demon, there is no other Heavenly Demon Demon.
"This world is to be destroyed after all...... Qu Shan sighed, "life and death, and then stand." ”
"Yes, how many people can understand this truth? I am very glad that you can understand it now. A voice sounded next to him.
Qu Dan turned around violently and found that the other self was standing with his hands in his hands, watching the demons in the distance crowded into a ball, trampling to death, starving to death, dying due to conflict, and life fell every moment. And this "self" looked at all this indifferently, without any emotion.
"Who are you?" Qu Shan asked vigilantly.
"I am you, and you are me. We met two million years ago. The other party replied with a smile.
Qu Shan frowned and thought about it, it was him! When he was sent back to the aftermath of the battle between Lord Surprise and San Danfu and the others, he had seen someone in the Heavenly Demon Temple two million years ago! That person should be Munch's master, the previous generation of Demon Venerables! However, why did he look the same as himself?
Qu Dan only felt that the clouds were shrouded in mist, and a huge mystery enveloped him. What's going on with all this?
"Maybe you don't know, maybe you just don't want to admit it, you're my doppelganger, the one I brought back to this era from the next era......," the other continued, "So, I'm you, you're me, we're the same person." ”
Qu Shan was stunned and said angrily: "Impossible! You are the Demon Venerable of the Heavenly Demon Clan, and I am a member of the Snow Clan, in my previous life, I was an authentic earthling, how could we be the same person?! Hahaha, don't think that if you change your body, you can deceive me, the people of this mountain will not eat you!"
"You're scared. The other party ignored the song list and said to himself, "Is the race really important? Everything in the world is just a difference in life forms, but in essence, all beings are equal, whether you are a snow clan, a human being, or a heavenly demon, they are all a kind of living being, in essence, you are my doppelganger......
"Shut up!" Qu Shan shouted angrily.
The other party shook his head, was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "By the way, maybe I should let you know my name, my name is Hongjun......"
Boom! The thunder was rolling, and Qu Shan was dumbfounded. Hongjun, how can it be Hongjun??? who is Hongjun, that is the most awesome character in myths and legends, the teacher of Sanqing, the first person in heaven and earth to achieve positive results, and the incarnation of the way of heaven! How can it be the demon venerable of this heavenly demon clan!?
Wait, Heavenly Dao!
Qu Dan's thinking paused, and suddenly remembered the scene of the light rushing out of the Heavenly Demon Temple two million years ago, merging into all things, at that time his perception was the way of heaven, and now it seems that it is the scene of the person in front of him witnessing the Tao and becoming a saint. Is this true?
The track list is incredible.
In his past and present lives, millions of years of life, he was denied by others, claiming that he was just a doppelganger of the other party? Wrong, he is not a doppelganger, he is a living person, his name is Qu Shan, not Hongjun's doppelganger!
No way!
No way!
Qu Shan shouted: "I'm not your doppelganger, what can you do if you are Hongjun? I'm Qu Shan , I'm Qu Shan , I have nothing to do with you at all, we are two people!"
Hongjun shook his head, stepped into the void and disappeared.
Qu Shan lost his soul, and he didn't know how long it took to return to the garrison outside Jianmu, and Pei Cainan greeted him with an anxious face. Qu Shan looked at her belly that had been pregnant for many years, and the child inside was still pregnant, and she didn't know when she was born, and suddenly felt that all this was so real, and what could a doppelganger experience?
He hugged Pei Cainan tightly into his arms and didn't let go for a long time.
In the following days, the internal space of the Divine Tree finally collapsed, and the Heavenly Demon Clan quickly fell. Jianmu Shenshu died even faster, Qu Shan watched all these changes in a trance, epoch, epoch, is this the end of an epoch? The next epoch is about to begin, and then the world will evolve into the world he was familiar with in his previous life, that earth!
The surrounding branches and leaves of the building trees gradually withered and yellowed, and there was no spiritual energy escaping, and the heavenly demons who escaped from the ascension did not get the final salvation, and after losing food and water sources, they still could not escape death, and became the last funeral song of this era.
The gods all took refuge in Qu Dan's self-created space, only Qu Dan stayed outside, and he watched the Jianmu Divine Tree die and decay day by day, and finally, all that was left in his eyes was that one condensed point.
"At the end of an era, what is left in the end is the seed of this Jianmu Divine Tree. Originally, those people in your space were also going to die, but you are me, and since you want to protect you, I won't interfere. Hongjun appeared beside Qu Dan again, and said indifferently, "Another era is about to begin, and this seed of building wood is about to sprout and grow and evolve into a new world...... Nineteenth Epoch...... "Hongjun's gaze is far away, shooting into the depths of nothingness.
Qu Shan turned his head and asked, "Nineteen epochs, can you give me this seed?"
Hongjun nodded and handed him the seed.
Qu Shan opened his space and planted the seeds of the building wood into the soil. He clearly felt that the whole world was suddenly alive, and a new life was brewing......
"I'm not your doppelganger. Qu Shan said, "You are Hongjun, I am Qu Shan." ”
"I'm Hongjun, and you're Hongjun too. The other party shook his head and said.
"Even though we're both Hongjun, it's just the same name, in fact, I have my own independent mind. Qu Shan said stubbornly.
"Maybe, if you really want to prove that you are an independent existence, maybe you can go to the next era to experience it, and see if you are Qu Shan or Hongjun, or my doppelganger...... " Hongjun flicked his long sleeves, and Qu Shan suddenly fell into the world he created, only to see that the other party's eyes seemed to have infinite deep meaning from the deep outside of space.
"I'm waiting for the day when you comprehend it......" Hong Jun finished speaking and disappeared.
Qu Shan only felt dizzy for a while, and fell asleep in a daze.
In this sleep, he slept for trillions of years, countless times longer than the sum of his two lives, and in his dream, he found that in the world he created, the heavens and the earth became obscure, and the boundaries between heaven and earth were no longer obvious, but became a mess of paste, sticky, like the chaos before the opening of heaven and earth.
Suddenly, the song list suddenly woke up.
Raising his eyes, a giant stood in the chaos, holding a giant axe that opened the sky, exhaled and made a sound, and slashed down with an axe into the chaos......
In the distance, a Taoist man carried a gourd around his waist, walked leisurely through the chaos, and chanted a poem in his mouth:
"First there is Hongjun and then there is the sky, and Lu Zhuan Daojun is still ahead.
I only live to be eighteen years old this year, and a year of chaos. ”
Qu Shan was stunned for a while, and said for a long time: "I am Qu Shan and maybe Hongjun, but I am by no means a doppelganger!"
............
Legend has it in later generations that the ancestor of Hong Jun was a cricket who attained the Tao and obtained the fruit of the Tao. In fact, it is not the case, because there is the word "song list" in his name, so later generations spread the truth and gradually lost the truth. As to whether Qu Shan is the embodiment of another person, the mystery may only be solved after he preaches in the New Era. However, this is not something that lay people like me can understand.
Pangu opened the world, evolved all things in the world, thirty-three days, eighteen hells, the world, the four directions of heaven and earth, and a new era began......
