Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 684

Chapter 682: Unity of Thought

“Tell me, give me a reason not to kill you.” Feeling the blow land on his nose, Venerable Shenzang’s heart nearly leaped out of his chest, then he was overcome with joy at having survived a catastrophe.

His Qi-gazing technique was correct. This man was a sage who took the safety of the world as his own, and would never allow the destruction of the universe.

If he wanted to save the universe, then he wouldn’t die.

“As the Heavenly Dao, the more worlds I rule, the greater my power. Why would I dig my own grave by allowing the immortal world to destroy the universe?”

“I had no choice.”

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow. Venerable Shenzang certainly wouldn’t destroy the world for no reason.

“Do you know how I was born?” Venerable Shenzang asked.

“People were calling on Heaven to open your eyes, so the Heavenly Dao developed intelligence and gave rise to you as you are today?” Jiang Li wasn’t sure. This was what the Dao Ancestor had said to Immortal Changcun, who had then told him.

“Yes, a ridiculous reason, isn’t it?”

“And my true form—the Heavenly Dao—is the prototype of your Heavenly Dao in Jiuzhou. Oh, you call it the Earth Veins.”

“Whether it’s the Heavenly Dao or the Earth Veins, they were both born in the same way, from the thoughts of all living beings.”

“Even your time travel was the result of the thoughts of all living beings.”

Jiang Li pondered for a moment, then said, “Are you saying that the thoughts of all living beings are terrifying?”

Venerable Shenzang shook his head. “No, I’m not saying that the thoughts of all living beings are terrifying, but that the unity of thoughts is terrifying.”

“What’s the difference?” Jiang Li didn’t understand Venerable Shenzang’s meaning.

Venerable Shenzang said seriously, “The difference is huge. Let’s think about

it from another perspective.” “If the unity of thoughts can give rise to the Heavenly Dao and find you, the savior, then what is the unity of thoughts?”

“The same thoughts are unity, which is what people often say, thinking in the same direction.”

“Then if there is only one person left in the world, does all their thoughts belong to the unity of thoughts?”

At this remark, Jiang Li’s pupils constricted.

He had never thought about it this way before.

Indeed, if there were only one person in the world, then all their thoughts would be unified, and they could do whatever they pleased.

“Where’s the evidence? What proof do you have to prove this?” Although what Venerable Shenzang said was very likely true, Jiang Li chose not to completely believe it.

“What he said is true.” The Confucian Sage, the Buddha, and the Immortal Emperor arrived at the center of the battlefield. All the Hunyuan Wuji Immortals, with the exception of Hou Tu Huang, knew what Venerable Shenzang had said.

They looked at Jiang Li with complicated expressions. Jiang Li’s final move completely overturned their understanding, and judging by his effortless demeanor, this was not even the full extent of his power.

How terrifying!

Jiang Li glanced at the Confucian Sage, who nodded in agreement.

Jiang Li knew that the Confucian Sage had always rebelled against the Way of Heaven. If he said so, then this could not be false.

“If you still don’t believe it, you can ask the Dao Ancestor within Wuzhi,” Venerable Shenzang said. He was speaking the truth, not afraid of Jiang Li’s verification.

“Go on,”

Venerable Shenzang continued, “before the birth of the myriad worlds, there was only one person in the world, and that person was called Taichu.”

“Taichu, as the sole will, could make his wishes come true. Anything could be accomplished with just a thought.”

“Taichu created nine laws, including space, time, and possibility. These are the ultimate laws, the underlying laws, the foundation of how the world works.”

“For this reason, the world has the concept of space, where we live. It also has the concept of time, which gave rise to the long river of time, the gathering place of possibilities, reincarnation, cultivation, and destruction.” “

Then Taichu created many things, the immortal realm, the myriad worlds… and so on. This was the true act of creation.”

“The immortal realm was the first world Taichu created.”

“And the last thing Taichu created was man.”

“When a second person appeared in the world, with a second thought, Taichu no longer had the ability to create, because people’s thoughts could not be completely unified.”

“Then came the third person, the fourth person, the fifth person… an endless number of intelligent beings, and this is how the present prosperous myriad worlds came into being.”

“Where is Taichu now?”

“He died a long time ago. Taichu didn’t give himself infinite lifespan, and he didn’t have immortality. After the world was created, he died every few months.”

Venerable Shenzang looked at Jiang Li and said seriously, “At first, when I saw you were not in the rules, I thought you were Taichu’s reincarnation, but then I thought, Taichu was only the first intelligent creature to appear, so he had the ability to create the world. He was not as strong as you. Even if he was reincarnated, he had to abide by the rules.” “

And it’s not certain whether Taichu was reincarnated or died.”

“Your strength is unprecedented.”

“Taichu only created one world, but because of the existence of the rule of possibility, people’s choices and the accidental occurrence of things have led to the emergence of parallel worlds.”

“Whether it is this world, the parallel world, the long river of time, or the gathering place of possibilities, they must face the rule of destruction.”

“The observer world named the rule of destruction the black tide. To make it easier for you to understand, I will call it that too.”

“Now the black tide has completely swallowed up the gathering place of possibilities. There are no living people or dead people, only the black tide.”

“Think about it, in the Possibility Convergence Area, human potential is maximized. Everyone there is sacred and unimaginably powerful.”

“Becoming an immortal is very easy for the creatures there. There are countless celestial immortals, golden immortals, and Hunyuan Wuji immortals. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao born there is also the strongest.”

“Even so, the Possibility Convergence Area has been swallowed up by the black tide, and resistance is futile.”

“The black tide has occupied the Possibility Convergence Area, turning ‘possible spread’ into ‘inevitable spread’. The next step is 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 swallowed up.”

At this point, Venerable Shenzang’s heart palpitated. The Heavenly Daos of the parallel worlds were not much different from his own. If the Black Tide could devour other Heavenly Daos, it could also devour his own.

Facing the Black Tide, facing the Law of Destruction, no one could do anything.

“The only way now is to pray.”

“Pray for the Black Tide to devour the other parallel worlds, so that we become the only world left.”

“When the Black Tide reaches our world, we must ensure that I am the last to be devoured.”

“That way, I will be the sole survivor of all worlds, and my thoughts will be the only thoughts.”

“Then, I will reduce the nine rules to eight, remove the Law of Destruction, and the Black Tide will naturally retreat and disappear.”

“Then I will use my thoughts to revive our world.”

“This is the only way.”
