I rely on krypton gold to be invincible in all realms

Patterns are engraved on it, emitting a bright light.

At the top of the altar, there was a white figure sitting cross-legged.

This figure is not of flesh and blood, its face is blurred, and it seems to be condensed from white mist, which is both illusory and real.

"Huh... Fortunately, it's still here!"

The old Taoist stood under the altar, looking at the white figure sitting cross-legged on it, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But then his face became serious again: "It's just that there seems to be some changes!"

Just as he finished speaking, the figure sitting cross-legged above him suddenly moved.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the old Taoist priest. His expression changed for a while before finally revealing his true appearance.

It looks like he is 80% similar to the old Taoist.

"You came!"

"I've been waiting for you for so many years."

A vague voice came out of the figure's mouth, without any emotion.

However, this voice made the old Taoist's face change drastically.

"You, you have gained consciousness?"

The old Taoist's eyes suddenly froze.

Looking at the face above the altar that looked like his own, his expression suddenly became extremely wonderful.

He never expected that the incarnation of the Great Dao he left behind countless years ago was just waiting to be reintegrated after reincarnation and quickly recover to its peak.

Unexpectedly!

This thing actually developed its own consciousness.

However, he had clearly made arrangements before his reincarnation to ensure that such a situation would not occur.

How could it happen now...

For a moment, countless questions flashed through the old Taoist's mind, and his eyes were fixed on the figure above.

At this time, above the altar, the white figure stared at the old Taoist for a long time after hearing his words, and finally nodded slowly.

"Ever since you left me here, I have been waiting for you for countless years."

"Perhaps it's because time has passed too long, or perhaps it's due to some other changes, but I gradually began to have my own consciousness."

“I often wonder… who am I?”

"It's you? Taoist Tianji?"

"Or...myself?"

As he spoke, the figure above slowly stood up, walked down from the altar step by step, came to the front of the old Taoist, and stood less than three feet away.

On the opposite side, the old Taoist looked at the similar figure in front of him with a solemn expression, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

But one could see that there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

The aura of divine cause and effect emanating from his body became stronger and stronger.

As if noticing the Taoist's nervousness, the white figure took a half step back and said calmly, "Are you afraid of me?"

Although the voice was calm, one could hear a hint of mockery in it, the kind of self-mockery.

The old Taoist narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

He stared at the white figure, looking it up and down.

After a while, instead of answering, he asked, "Will you attack me?"

After these words were spoken, the white figure opposite was obviously stunned.

He stared at the old Taoist for a long time with a complicated look in his eyes.

"if……"

"Wouldn't it be nice if you came later, or didn't come at all?"

"If I hadn't been born with consciousness..."

His voice was complicated, with a hint of reluctance.

They developed independent consciousness and some human emotions, but spent countless years in this dark underground.

How could an ordinary person endure that feeling of loneliness and solitude?

Originally, if he had waited a few more years and his consciousness continued to grow stronger, he would have been able to sever the connection between him and the old Taoist priest and become a real living being.

pity……

The old Taoist looked at the incarnation of the Dao opposite him, and there was a hint of complexity in his eyes.

"This is fate!"

"Everything in the world has its own cause and effect!"

A somewhat indifferent voice came out of his mouth, and his eyes were fixed on the other party: "If you really don't want to give up, you can take action now."

"While I am still weak, there is still a chance to kill me. Then you can leave here, go to the outside world, and become a real living being."

"Is there really a chance?" The incarnation of the Tao looked at the old Taoist with an inexplicable expression.

The old Taoist didn't say anything, but just stared at the other person.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the field became oppressive.

It seems that a strange war is about to break out.

However, this "war" ultimately did not happen.

The incarnation of the Great Dao withdrew his gaze and his expression became calm.

Although the Taoist in front of him seemed to have a low level of cultivation, it looked like he could kill with just a breath.

But he knew in his heart that he could not make a move, because the backup plan left by the other party countless years ago was enough to destroy him instantly.

"If possible..."

"I hope you can preserve my consciousness, if possible in the future..."

"I want to see the outside world, too!"

The incarnation of the Tao sighed, then walked towards the old Taoist.

The old Taoist didn't say anything, but just stared at the place indifferently.

Just like that, after two steps, the incarnation of the Tao merged into the old Taoist's body.
