I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 332 From now on, I am Yuanshi!
The supreme elixir?

Zhou Mu fell into silence, his mind was a little confused. Senior Yuanshi was being refined into elixir in the Bagua furnace? ?

He felt that it was a bit absurd and wanted to ask further questions, but was stopped by the man in the furnace.

"Come back to the point."

The Taoist Yuanshi in the furnace seemed a little weak, but his voice was calm:

"Let me ask you, now that you know about the dispute, do you know who is behind the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Buddha Mountain in the West, and the underworld on earth in the [present years]?"

Zhou Mu came back to his senses, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Before I changed the world, the Southern Dynasty had the [Buddha] behind it, Sakyamuni, the first Buddha in Buddhism."

"The Northern Dynasty should naturally be the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun of the First Epoch."

"As for the two Buddha Mountains in the West, I only know that the one who was revered in the Buddha Mountains in the past was the majestic Buddha. As for the Buddha Mountains and the netherworld on earth now, I am not sure who is behind them."

"Ah."

In the Bagua furnace, Yuanshi Tianzun seemed to be nodding, explaining and narrating in a low voice.

"Hou Tu ordered a ghost emperor to establish the underworld on earth. The Northern Dynasty was controlled by Emperor Jun, the Southern Dynasty was under the control of the Buddha, and the two mountains in the west were under the control of the Zhuangyan Buddha and the Maitreya Buddha."

Zhou Mu was thoughtful. This was actually the same as his guess. Although he was not sure where the underworld on earth and Foshan were now, he could roughly guess it.

Yuanshi Taoist changed the subject:
"But what did you find?"

Zhou Mu was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:
"Too little. Too little."

"There are only five supreme beings who have intervened in the mortal world. The number is a bit too small."

"Not bad." The man in the furnace praised, and his voice suddenly became solemn:

"In the Fourth Era, according to the plan of fellow Taoists, the intention was to allow the demon race to dominate the earth again. Because of this, the Southern and Northern Dynasties and Foshan are full of demons."

"Daoyou Hou Tu originally wanted to get a piece of the pie, but he was targeted. He had no choice but to send a part of the ghost clan to the mortal world. His chances of winning were actually the smallest. But then again, if it weren't for Daoyou Hou Tu, you wouldn't have seen the survival of the human race."

Hearing this, Zhou Mu's face showed confusion:

"May I ask Senior Yuanshi, what does this mean?"

Yuanshi Taoist patiently explained:

"If you want to win the Dao Contest, you must become the master of the three realms of heaven, earth, and mortals at the same time. Think about it, now that the heavens have lost their masters, and the human world has also lost its masters, who is the most important person in this era?"

Zhou Mu's eyebrows sank slightly:

"The Queen Mother of the Earth."

"Of course."

"Hou Tu controls the Nine Netherworlds. Once she successfully controls the heavens and the mortal world, she will be the three masters of heaven, earth and man, and the struggle for the Tao will come to an end."

The words of Yuanshi Taoist are very profound:
"So Hou Tu was not allowed to control some of the demon race, so she had to establish the underworld on earth. But from what I can see, that was just a cover - She was also trying to control the human race. She wanted the human race to become the protagonist of the mortal world again."

Zhou Mu suddenly remembered something and his breathing quickened:

"You mean, the Six Blood Sacrifice?"

The most fundamental reason why a human race can survive in the Five Kings City is because of the sages and saints. And without exception, the sages and saints were called back from the reincarnation through the method of blood sacrifice!

If Zhou Mu remembered correctly,
According to what King Wu Jifa said, it was the human race that snatched and separated the human world from the six worlds, and used the human world to constantly summon the saints.
His scalp suddenly exploded.

The way of the world.

From the fall of Kunlun and the destruction of the Five Kings City, to changing the past to save the Five Kings City and establishing the Central People's Dynasty to dominate the world,
During such a long period of time, he has become the master of the human race in a certain sense - but so far, he has not seen the [human world], nor has he seen that side of reincarnation!
This should not have happened. It is one of the six realms of reincarnation and is of utmost importance.
But I seemed to have subconsciously ignored it and never thought about it from beginning to end, until this moment, until I stood in front of the Bagua furnace and Yuanshi solved my doubts!
"Found something wrong?"

The Taoist in the furnace spoke softly:
"The ability of the Supreme Being is beyond your imagination. It is a very simple matter to change the perception of all living beings about a thing and make them subconsciously ignore and forget it."

"What's more, at our level, we also have the Eternal Stone Tablet. Do you remember this?"

Zhou Mu took a deep breath and nodded:
"Remember, what is engraved on the Eternal Stone Tablet is destined to happen and will inevitably happen. The process is unknown, but the result is certain."

At the beginning, Senior Yuanshi once used this method in front of Zhou Mu, and engraved the words "Gods and demons before you will be born between heaven and earth" on the stone tablet.

Then he pressed the stone tablet into the origin of the universe, making it inevitable that this would happen, no matter what, and his three bodies would all become gods and demons!
Zhou Mu murmured to himself:

"I once erected a monument to the laws of heaven and earth, which established the rules of heaven and earth within a certain scope. It seems to have the same effect as the Eternal Stone Monument."

"You mean the sentence 'After the founding of the country, no spirits are allowed'?" Yuanshi Taoist smiled and said, "The two are indeed from the same lineage."

"The difference is that your Monument of Laws establishes one-sided rules and stands between heaven and earth, while the Monument of Eternity determines the results, which can never be erased and can never be distorted by tampering with history."

Zhou Mu thought for a moment, and roughly understood what it meant - that is, even if many supreme beings took action at this moment and tampered with the history so that the person "Zhou Mu" had never existed.
will fail.

Because he must and will become an innate god and demon. This is a [major historical event] engraved on the eternal stone tablet, which is absolutely going to happen and cannot be tampered with.

"Senior, are you telling me this?" Zhou Mu asked softly, a bad premonition suddenly flashing through his mind.

The Bagua furnace was vibrating slightly, and the flames under the furnace were burning fiercely, but no other sounds were heard.

For a long time.

A sigh came from the furnace.

"However, Fellow Daoist Hou Tu's plan to support the human race and make the leader of the human race the ruler of the mortal world has long been seen through by fellow Daoists."

Zhou Mu's heart began to palpitate, and the Taoist in the furnace continued to whisper:

"Aren't you curious about why the human race, with Hou Tu as its support, fell into such a situation before you appeared?"

Zhou Mudao:
"Yes, many supreme targets?"

"wrong."

Yuanshi Taoist said calmly:
"It was Fellow Daoist Hou Tu who gave up the human race. The reason was very simple. After the end of the catastrophe, about 40,000 years later, the Supreme Beings jointly created an eternal stone tablet and placed it at the root of the universe."

"Senior, what is the content?"

"In the fourth era, the protagonists of heaven and earth will be the demon race."

The light words undoubtedly exploded in Zhou Mu's ears like thunder. He was silent, and a strong sense of powerlessness and confusion arose in his heart.

for a long time.

Zhou Mu whispered:

"The process of what is written on the Eternal Stone Tablet is uncertain, but the outcome is predetermined and cannot be changed or tampered with. So, everything I do is just a dream?"

"Yes."

Taoist Yuanshi said calmly:
"This is also the fundamental reason why, after the human race once again became the master of the earth and the protagonist of heaven and earth, none of you Taoists made any unusual moves."

"The trajectory of the general trend is destined to be that in the last period of time, in the insignificant years before the arrival of the Fourth Epoch, there will be a shocking change that will directly cause the demon race to overwhelm the human race, no matter what."

Zhou Mu closed his eyes:

"anyway."

He was somewhat aphasic.

The Central Human Dynasty sits at the center of the mortal world. No matter whether it is Foshan, the Demon Dynasty or the Netherworld, they must pay tribute. They can even attack all parties at any time and completely unify the human world.
But are these also destined to be shattered?

for a long time.

Zhou Mu spoke dryly:
"Senior, what do you mean?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said calmly:
"Remember, the things written on the Eternal Monument are predetermined in terms of outcome, but the process is uncertain. In a sense, the things written on the monument are the trend of heaven and earth, a trend that cannot be disobeyed."

"Child, that's why you need to know your position. If you go against the trend, you will be in trouble. Remember, the process is uncertain!"

Zhou Mu's breathing became a little rapid:

"I understand what you mean."

"The process is uncertain, so I could just give up the human race and become a demon master. With my current control over the human world, this is almost inevitable."

"And now that the general trend has been determined, if I follow the trend, I will be able to become the ruler of the earth and the mortal world in the Fourth Epoch, and seize one third of the universe, right?"

The Taoist in the furnace responded:

"That's the truth. If you still cling to the human race, you will inevitably face a catastrophe, a catastrophe that you cannot escape or survive no matter what. You may even die. This is the general trend, a trend that even the Supreme Being cannot change again."

Zhou Mu stopped talking, his mind was confused and his hands were shaking slightly.

"The general trend." He murmured in a low voice, closed his eyes, and sorted out all the clues.

"Since Hou Tu Niangniang once supported the human race and gave them the way of the human world, it must be her incarnation. The mysterious Daluo I saw, the human Daluo, must be the incarnation of Hou Tu Niangniang, right?"

Zhou Mu muttered to himself, with his eyelids drooping:

"Senior, is there really no way to avoid this? Do we have to give up the human race?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said calmly:
"If you want to achieve supremacy and if you don't want to suffer a great disaster, this is the only way."

Zhou Mu raised his eyelids, stared at the blazing Bagua furnace, and asked again:

"And you?"

"Or, what about you?"

He asked the biggest question in his heart:

"Why did you spare no effort to help me? Maybe I am a ruthless person. Because I feel uneasy and something is wrong."

The Taoist in the Bagua furnace was silent for a moment, then spoke softly:
“It’s right to be uneasy.”

"Child, remember one thing, among the Supremes, the most important thing is to fight for the Tao. Therefore, all the Supremes, even the Three Pure Ones, have no enemies and no friends."

"Benefits, interests that are beneficial to each other's struggle, are the most important."

Zhou Mu listened quietly and nodded quietly:
"Yes, the Grand Senior also said this to me."

This conversation almost laid the matter out in the open - Senior Yuanshi's meaning was very clear, there were no friends or enemies among the Supremes.

The Three Pure Ones may be enemies of each other, let alone themselves?
Yuanshi Taoist's voice was somewhat complicated:
"It's good that you can see clearly. I, Taishang, and Lingbao are helping you for selfish reasons - to avenge what you fellow Taoists have done."

"But if I say I have no ulterior motives towards you and I treat you wholeheartedly, you won't believe it yourself."

Zhou Mu nodded heavily, and then bowed heavily towards the Bagua Furnace.

He said softly:

"But without you, there would be no me today. I should have died in Inujue City a long time ago, and should have become food for the monsters a long time ago."

The Taoist in the furnace nodded with satisfaction and scolded with a smile:

"You bastard, you still have some conscience."

He paused, his voice became serious, and the subject suddenly changed:

"But having a conscience is not a good thing. The higher your cultivation and realm, the more indifferent you should be. If you still get excited when you see injustice, and draw your sword when you see something that doesn't go your way, you won't get far."

"Zhou Mu, please remember this."

Taoist Yuanshi's voice became deeper and deeper, causing the Bagua Furnace to hum and echo throughout the Tushita Palace.

"If you keep going forward and climbing up, when you reach a certain point, I, Taishang, and Lingbao will all become your enemies. This is inevitable."

"In fact, we did have a plan for you, and we did have a bigger plan for you - but there is nothing that cannot be said. I can tell you the truth. Nothing is wrong."

Zhou Mu nodded silently, still maintaining the posture of worship, bowing towards the Bagua furnace:
"That's a matter of the future, not now. At least now, I am still your junior, and you are still my senior who takes care of me."

After a pause, he raised his head and a smile appeared on his face:
"Thank you so much for speaking to me directly."

The Taoist in the furnace laughed loudly:
"As for planning, doing it in a shady and dirty way is a plan, and doing it in an upright and aboveboard way is also a plan. Although I am not a good person, I also prefer the upright and aboveboard way."

"Okay, your doubts should be resolved, right?"

After a pause, Yuanshi Taoist said with a smile:

"Don't keep asking me what I left on you and what I am planning. I won't tell you, lest you discover it and it will be a big loss!"

Zhou Mu touched his nose and smiled bitterly:

"I know this, of course. But here comes the question, Senior. Given your current situation, I'm afraid you may not be able to wait until the day when you can use me."

After a pause, he looked solemn:
"So, how can I rescue you and help you out of this predicament?"

The Taoist in the furnace lost his voice.

A long time, a long time.

He said in a low voice:

"You bastard, how come you don't understand me? I have plans for you. I want you to be a stepping stone for my future victory in the next world war. Why are you still thinking of saving me?"

Yuanshi Daoist felt a little disappointed:
"Didn't I tell you? Don't have a conscience. At least, don't have one until you win the battle."

Zhou Mu scratched his head. He didn't look like the Northern Emperor at all. He just smiled and said:
"Well I'd like to?"

The Taoist in the furnace was speechless again.

“Asshole!” After a long while, He cursed with a complicated tone, and then sighed softly:
"My situation is not something you can solve. You should first think about how to secure your position as the Lord of the Mortal World, and how to become the Lord of Heaven and the Lord of the Netherworld!"

Finally, the Taoist in the furnace joked:

"After all, you have to occupy enough of the great world so that my plan on you will be effective and beneficial to me."

"Okay." Zhou Mu responded readily, then curled his lips: "But speaking of which, in my previous life, there was a saying that goes, the Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves forward."

He smiled and said:
“If it really comes to that, who knows who will win and who will lose!”

The Taoist smiled and said:
"When that time comes, it will all depend on one's own abilities."

"Okay, you little bastard, go back!"

"But before you go back."

He finally exhaled and said softly:
"I'll leave the position of Yuanshi to you."

"I can't leave this Bagua furnace. My mark in history is being destroyed. This is not a good thing. From now on, you will be Yuanshi Tianzun."

Zhou Mu was stunned:
"Is this part of your plan?"

The Taoist in the furnace thought for a moment:
"That's right. The dilemma of the Three Pure Ones is that they are forced to stay together for a period of time. After giving away the position of Yuanshi, I have the opportunity to escape from the dilemma and no longer be confined to the [past years]."

He was very open and didn't hide anything:
“In fact, if you are able to defeat me in the future, I can use the [Primordial Position] to trap you in the past.”

Zhou Mu then laughed:

"Then I'll take it."

The Taoist in the furnace was stunned:

"No, you really?"

"Ah."

"You bastard! You won't listen to my advice!" The Taoist cursed angrily, and then sighed: "Go back, the status of Yuanshi is a gift to you!"

"At this moment, you are the Yuanshi."

Zhou Mu felt that something heavier, even more important than the position of Northern Emperor, was being imposed upon him.

He accepted it calmly without any resistance.

"You bastard!" The Taoist couldn't help but curse again, "You are such a heartless person! I can't teach you a lesson, I can't teach you a lesson!"

For a long time.

"Senior, I'm leaving."

The young man stood up again, bowed to the Bagua furnace, quietly walked out of the Tushita Palace, leaving only one sentence.

"You may not be able to defeat me!"

The gate of Tushita Palace closed again. The green ox outside the Taoist palace looked sideways, shuddered violently, and then crawled on the ground.

Qingniu bowed and shouted:
"Greetings, Master Yuanshi!"

The young man, shrouded in boundless auspicious clouds and wearing seventy-two colors of light, had a blurry face and could not be seen clearly.

He sighed:
"From now on, I am Yuanshi."

Zhou Mu gently stroked the [Three Treasures Jade Ruyi] in his hand, while beside him, the [Kai Tian Banner] swayed gently.
