Investiture of the Gods: I am Bigan, the Master of Conspiracy

At the same time, Yin Ziyu's true nature fell into a realm devoid of light and consciousness, which was the place where the Great Dao was extinguished.

What is the true nature of mind? Yin Ziyu's cultivation of mind is not about cultivating a mind with seven orifices and exquisite beauty. It is a mysterious, formless, and omnipresent existence.

There is a poem that says, "The body is like a Bodhi tree, the mind like a clear mirror. Constantly wipe it clean, lest it be covered with dust."

This heart is the true heart, while dust is the endless stream of thoughts. Countless bizarre thoughts will fly onto the true heart, obscuring it, and it needs to be wiped away.

Yin Ziyu, on the other hand, has always cultivated the light of his original mind, that is, the endless dust cannot adhere to his original mind, and his original mind will never be obscured.

My heart is bright, like the sun, while delusions are like floating clouds; the coming and going of clouds do not diminish the sunlight.

Since the beginning of this era, Yin Ziyu has been cultivating the undying light of his truest self with the help of the will bestowed by Pangu. Only in this way can he find the ultimate vitality in the place of the ultimate extinction of the Great Dao!

The moment the original mind stepped in, an endless aura of annihilation swept over like a tsunami. That aura was not ordinary destructive power, but rather revealed an essence of nothingness.

It is without birth or death, without beginning or end, and can grind all traces of existence into nothingness.

Light is swallowed up here, sound is dissolved here, even the flow of time becomes stagnant, as if even the Great Dao itself is slumbering here.

However, Yin Ziyu's true nature was not assimilated by this terrifying power of annihilation.

Above Yin Ziyu's true heart, a glimmer of light never dies. It is the pure light that has been condensed over a eon and merged with a trace of Pangu's will.

The will of the Pangu Palace is arguably the most precious thing the Pangu Palace has ever possessed. One part was given to Jiufeng, and the other part was given to Yin Ziyu.

Two wills intertwined, bursting forth with a faint light, like the only firefly in the darkness, struggling to flicker and move in the desolate land.

The terror of the Desolate Lands extends far beyond the corrosive influence of its aura.

Yin Ziyu's true nature witnessed a shocking scene here: the final state of the primordial world, where the bodies of all living beings turned to ashes, the souls of all spirits returned to nothingness, and the mountains and rivers collapsed into the most primordial laws.

Even the vast expanse of the world shrank and collapsed in the aura of annihilation, eventually becoming a desolate void.

This is the final resting place of all things in the primordial world.

As his gaze extended further forward, he saw the chaos at the very beginning of the primordial world, in that hazy realm that gave birth to Pangu, where chaotic energy churned endlessly, containing both the opportunity for life and the instinct for destruction.

I witnessed countless stars being born in chaos, following their trajectories for billions of years, and finally annihilating in the explosion of supernovae, turning into cosmic dust.

I witnessed time and space intertwining and colliding in a higher dimension, forming fleeting fragments of spacetime that vanished under the erosion of the power of annihilation.

Further away, the River of Destiny surges like a giant, dark golden python at the edge of the desolate land.

Yin Ziyu clearly saw that every 50,000 yuan in the river of fate, a giant wave would rise up, which was a sign of the coming of a great calamity, and countless lives would struggle and perish in the waves.

Every 480 million kalpas, the entire river of destiny undergoes a complete drying up and reconstruction. This is the end of countless kalpas, and also the cycle of the annihilation of the old era and the birth of the new era.

Even such a cycle appears so insignificant under the reflection of the Land of Annihilation. In the surging trajectory of the River of Destiny, countless remnants of eras have been deposited. Those eras that have vanished have left not a trace, as if they never existed.

The meaning of Nirvana was fully understood by Yin Ziyu's true nature at this moment. It is not the end of destruction, but the final destination of all existence, an end beyond which even reincarnation cannot reach.

But the undying light that was infused with the will of Pangu became even brighter at this moment.

Yin Ziyu's true nature was not deterred by this ultimate nothingness. Instead, he followed the guidance of the light and began to traverse the land of annihilation.

What Yin Ziyu seeks is not a way to escape annihilation, but true transcendence—an ultimate path that allows one to escape the cycle of fate, break free from the annihilation of eras, and even avoid being assimilated by the land of annihilation.

Yin Ziyu continued his search, following the undying light, when the scene before him suddenly changed, and he found himself confronting the source of the world's destruction.

As the river of time surged forward relentlessly, extending for three hundred trillion years, a shocking scene unfolded before Yin Ziyu's eyes: the Heavenly Dao was about to show signs of three declines, and an immeasurable calamity was about to arrive, which meant the world was heading towards annihilation.

As Yin Ziyu delved deeper into his true nature, he realized that the primordial world was like a giant Möbius strip. After experiencing complete annihilation, a faint glimmer of life emerged from the deepest part of the desolate land.

That spark of life continued to grow, eventually giving birth to three thousand gods and demons, thus beginning a new cycle, and everything seemed to have returned to its original starting point.

In other words, the river of time flows for 480 million kalpas, and then everything ends and begins again, and everything will repeat itself.

Upon arriving here, Yin Ziyu finally gained the deepest understanding of reincarnation: the world is in a cycle of reincarnation, a truth that all living beings in the primordial world can never fathom.

In other words, after an opportunity ends, all the power explores the origin, including the Great Dao and the Sages, and then all enter this place of the Great Dao's extinction to reconstruct itself.

Three thousand gods and demons, the supreme treasures of chaos, and the great god Pangu will all be reborn here; this is the source of life in the Land of Annihilation.

This is the true meaning of the Tai Chi symbol: the ultimate place of death contains the ultimate vitality.

Yin Ziyu's enlightenment was significant because he relied on his undying light of the heart to reach the energy reconstruction site of the Land of Annihilation, which was the only place of life in the entire Land of Annihilation.

Only by arriving here can one attain the Dao of Hunyuan.

It can be said that the difficulty of attaining the Primordial Dao is unparalleled. First, one must have the courage to come here even if it means facing nine deaths and one life, or even ten deaths and no life.

But even if you come here, you can't survive. How could you possibly survive in the ultimate, desolate place of the Great Dao?

Therefore, Yin Ziyu's undying inner light allows his true nature to exist between the real and the illusory.
There is another line of poetry: "Bodhi has no tree, nor is the bright mirror a stand. Originally there is nothing, so where can dust alight?"
The true nature of mind is nothingness. Since it is nothingness, it can still feel obscured by dust, just like when you are thinking to yourself right now, "Who am I?"

If I were not here, who would I be? When I was born, who was I? Only when I grow up do I become myself, and when I close my eyes in a daze, who am I again?
The true self and the original mind exist, but their existence is an illusion. Yin Ziyu cultivates the light of the true mind and condenses the undying light of the heart, so that even after the death of the true mind, the concept of the original self still exists.

In other words, what is the nothingness before a person is born? It is impossible to know.

As for past lives, the past life and the adult self are no longer the same person.

In this life, where every self is formed and exists, even if I am reincarnated after death, will I still be myself?

It can be said that even if Yin Ziyu's method of proving the Dao is successful, it is impossible to replicate, because it is very difficult for anyone to condense an indestructible light of the heart and come here again. If one cannot remain indestructible, one will be instantly annihilated by the torrent of annihilation.

The condensation of the undying light of the heart came from marrying Jiu Feng. After the marriage, it was like a collaboration. Yin Ziyu provided the method for proving the Dao, and Pangu Palace gave the two of them its greatest resources.

Yin Ziyu condensed an indestructible light of the heart in one eon, while Jiu Feng condensed her essence blood in one eon, breaking through the boundary between before and after the creation of the world in the river of time, and met Pangu.

It can be said that there will be ways to attain enlightenment in the future, but these two methods are no longer replicable because there is no longer the Pangu will of the Pangu Palace to assist them. This is something that cannot be replicated.

At this moment, Yin Ziyu had basically understood that the path to enlightenment in this ultimate land of annihilation was to find that point full of life.

Just like in the Tai Chi diagram, in the vast Yin area, find the Yang point. Once you find it and come here, you can gather the immense power here, thereby gathering the undying light of the heart and truly attain enlightenment.

This place is the birthplace of three thousand gods and demons, the source of the Chaos Treasure, and the great god Pangu; this alone is enough to know how abundant the life force here is. The current journey is to find this isolated island in the vast ocean.

At this moment, the annihilating torrent surged like ten thousand horses, washing away Yin Ziyu's undying inner light. Wherever it passed, all traces of existence were ground into nothingness.

This undying light swayed violently in the torrent, its brightness flickering as if it were about to be extinguished at any moment.

Just then, a faint light suddenly burst forth from the Heart Light, and a small, illusory image of the Pangu Palace slowly appeared.

This Pangu Palace is composed of countless chaotic runes, which are the manifestation of Pangu's will. It exudes a faint aura of creation and protects the undying light of the heart within it.

With the protection of the illusory image of the Pangu Palace, Yin Ziyu's undying inner light struggled to traverse the desolate torrent.

This scene is like a lamp in the rainy night, almost extinguished by the raging wind and rain, yet with a tenacious resilience, it always shines with a faint light.

As he traveled, Yin Ziyu also witnessed the cycle of the primordial world. The undying light of his heart became increasingly solid, and the Great Dao of the Light of My Heart instantly permeated his very being.

Chaos knows no years, and so does the Land of Annihilation. Yin Ziyu's heart shines ever brighter, and he has a new perception: the direction of light in the endless Land of Annihilation!
It's somewhat similar to the subtle sense that a fish can perceive where the water is.

Yin Ziyu knew that this faint feeling was the most real direction: deep within the desolation, there was a place of ultimate vitality that belonged to the land of light.

If one cannot perceive direction, even the undying light of the heart will slowly fade away in this desolate place. There is only one chance.

Proving the Dao is inherently a matter of life and death, and transcendence is not so easy. If one deviates from the right path, there is no chance of survival.

The brighter Yin Ziyu's heart is, the more he can feel the light.

In the land of annihilation, life is light, creation is light, and the light of my heart that Yin Ziyu has cultivated throughout his life has become a signal receiver. In this endless torrent of annihilation, there is no up, down, left, right, no direction, no light, yet he can sense the direction.

Once you have a direction, you can't go wrong if you move in that direction.

Because in this desolate land, the only light is that land of creation; there is nothing else.

Yin Ziyu's undying light followed that life force and began to travel through the desolate torrent.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally saw a pure white place of creation enveloping the center of the desolate torrent.

The Tai Chi symbol was now fully materialized. In this desolate torrent, there was a place that radiated a gentle and holy divine light, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding desolate torrent, exuding endless mystery and vitality.

Often, the closest one gets to hope is the most dangerous place. Yin Ziyu's undying light of the heart floated outside the annihilating torrent, gazing at the pure white creation that was enveloped by the torrent. His light of the heart trembled slightly, already able to sense the supreme mystery contained within.

The annihilating torrent formed a terrifying Great Wall of Annihilation around the place of creation, more violent than any torrent encountered before.

After all, annihilation and creation can coexist, but they are not fused together. Instead, there is a terrifying membrane that prevents annihilation from merging in and prevents creation from leaking out.

Now, Yin Ziyu has reached the final, ultimate leap.

That is to open the amniotic sac and merge into it.

Under the protection of the illusory image of the Pangu Palace, Yin Ziyu's undying inner light slowly approached the place of creation.

The moment it came into contact with the barrier of the torrent, the Pangu Palace trembled violently. The chaotic runes on the palace body flickered on and off, emitting a hissing sound, as if they were colliding fiercely with the fragments of laws in the torrent.

The Undying Heart Light also felt immense pressure, and its light dimmed again, as if it would be swallowed up by the torrent at any moment.

Fragments of laws within the torrent relentlessly assaulted the Pangu Palace, attempting to breach it, while the aura of annihilation desperately eroded the inner light of the heart, trying to assimilate this undying radiance.

There is no longer the will of Heaven here, nor is there any Heavenly Dao that would destroy Yin Ziyu. Instead, there is the most fundamental will of annihilation, which is to destroy everything that enters and annihilate everything.

Pangu's will seemed to sense Yin Ziyu's determination, and the aura of creation emanating from it became increasingly intense. The chaotic runes on the palace body circulated faster, forming an even more solid defense.

At this moment, Yin Ziyu stared into deep thought at the unbroken amniotic sac.

"Perhaps, only by transforming into the power of creation can I have a sliver of hope. Now that I have nothing, I might as well annihilate this will of Pangu and create an opportunity for myself!"

After a moment's thought, Yin Ziyu immediately made a desperate move.

He immediately detached the entire will of Pangu and threw it directly into the torrent of annihilation. In an instant, the endless torrent of annihilation began to frantically destroy the will of Pangu.

Seeing this scene, Yin Ziyu felt a sense of seriousness. This was the only chance; only in this way could he shock his way into this land of creation.

Just as Yin Ziyu had predicted, after Pangu's will was destroyed by the annihilation torrent, it was transformed into a force of the Great Dao's origin. This force was very small, but it was incompatible with the force of annihilation.

When this primordial force arrived at the fetal membrane, the membrane sensed the origin of the Great Dao and immediately created a crack to guide this primordial force in.

"This is the opportunity!"

At this moment, Yin Ziyu knew that this fleeting opportunity was his last chance, and he had nothing left to open the passage.

Yin Ziyu acted immediately. Taking advantage of the opening of the amniotic sac, the Undying Heart Light finally entered the Great Dao Origin along with the Great Dao Origin formed after the destruction of Pangu's Will.

This was a fault-tolerant method that Yin Ziyu had deduced before attaining enlightenment. He naturally knew that once he arrived here, it would be the most dangerous place, but there was an opportunity, and that opportunity was to merge into the channel.

After all, the Land of Annihilation is where everything is annihilated, and then the Great Dao's origin flows into it.

This is the land of creation, the origin of the Great Dao, containing true transcendence.

As soon as they entered, the surrounding torrent of annihilation vanished, replaced by a soft and holy white light.

This white light did not come from external illumination, but rather emanated from the very source of creation itself, instantly dispelling the lingering aura of annihilation on the inner light.

Yin Ziyu's undying inner light slowly unfolded in this white light, and he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort and peace.

It can be said that from the time travel to the Investiture of the Gods to the present day, and then to this place, I have finally found true peace, a peace that is indescribably mysterious.

Countless mysterious runes flowed in the white light, sometimes converging into various strange patterns, and sometimes scattering into starlight, radiating endless vitality and the Great Dao.

The undying light of the heart floated gently in this area, greedily absorbing the surrounding power of creation, and the light gradually became brighter and more stable.

Yin Ziyu knew that he had finally arrived at the key place of transcendence. What followed was true transcendence. All the energy and laws of the world of creation were here. Everything you wanted was here.

Because the Chaos Treasures were born here, and the three thousand gods and demons were born here. Although the origin of the primordial world has not yet been extinguished, the three thousand gods and demons of the past have long since perished. This means that this place contains the origin of three thousand primordial Daos, which is enough to know its immense power. (End of this chapter)
