“What nonsense are you spouting?”

The Dao Ancestor frowned and stared at Li Changshou, as if he wanted to see if Li Changshou was joking. When he saw Li Changshou’s serious expression, he said, “Don’t say that. How am I the same as your senior?”

Li Changshou stared at the Dao Ancestor. Although he was five feet away, his gaze was as sharp as a knife, as if it could pierce through the Dao Ancestor’s eyes.

The cloud mirror remained on the square table of the short table, revealing Sun Wukong’s situation.

The bamboo house was silent for a while.

“Fellow Daoist, you won’t admit it?”

Li Changshou asked softly.

“The way you’re smearing me is unbelievable.”

The Dao Ancestor answered calmly.

The two of them could not see any power. It was as if they were talking about daily life. However, there was a mysterious Dao rune between them.

Thunder rumbled in silence and war cries sounded in the silence.

It was like the common “calm before the storm”, but the peace was ultimately broken by Li Changshou’s laughter.

“Haha, hahaha! I knew that you would not admit it. After all, the truth had been revealed to the public. The Primordial World would naturally be in chaos. I don’t know how many living beings have died in despair. I don’t know if Teacher will reestablish a world. Fellow Daoist, you don’t dare to admit it, right?”

The Dao Ancestor said calmly, “If this is true, why wouldn’t I dare to admit it? The world would not collapse because of anything. The despair of living beings disappeared because their hearts were too weak. Your teacher inherited the will of the Pangu God. What he did was to guard the Primordial World and not reestablish the world.”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Since you’re so confident, can you answer a few questions?”

The Dao Ancestor said calmly, “Just ask.”

Li Changshou said, “What is the last page of Senior Lang’s yearbook that was destroyed? Why did Senior Lang go crazy in a short period of time?”

Hong Jun answered, “Previously, according to you, I had a disagreement with Lang.”

“The memories that Fellow Daoist revealed just now, Senior Lang’s emotions are clearly different from the last emotions of the year.”

Li Changshou said firmly, “Senior Lang has witnessed the process of the creation of the world. The Senior Lang I saw on the second last page of the diary seems to have suffered a huge blow and lost his Dao heart. Something must have suddenly appeared in front of him or been suddenly figured out by him, causing his Dao heart to collapse. Fellow Daoist, I should be right about that, right?”

Hong Jun remained silent.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “I reckon that Senior Lang should have known about your relationship back then.”

“I’m not related to him!”

Hong Jun’s eyes were filled with anger.

Li Changshou said calmly, “Fellow Daoist, why don’t you take out the last page of Senior Lang’s yearbook? Everything can be revealed.”

“Is the truth important?”

Hong Jun said coldly, “I’m now the Primordial World. I’m the master of the Three Realms! The essence of the world is in my body. You’re just going to die in the end!”

“Really?”

Li Changshou said calmly, “If I have the means to make you lose your connection with the essence of the world, what do you say?”

Hong Jun subconsciously covered his chest and looked at Li Changshou. He smiled and said, “If you have such methods, why are you talking nonsense to me?”

“Because I want to give you a way out.”

Li Changshou said in a low voice, “Although you are just a fake personality produced by Senior Lang and have even killed the main personality, I still treat you as half of my hometown. Moreover, I’m here today because of you. You have given me many benefits. Although most of them are schemes, I am not an ungrateful person. You have killed many living beings. Apart from my master, you did not touch my relatives and friends. Although I can’t let go of the fact that my master has been harmed, I still want to give you another chance to live. At this moment, only you and I know about this. Stop. I will give you a small courtyard in the cage outside the world and let you quietly watch the future changes of the Primordial World.”

Hong Jun smiled helplessly. “You don’t even want to tell me your methods. How can I believe you?”

“It won’t work if I tell you,” Li Changshou said seriously. “It depends on whether you believe me.”

“I feel that you are trying to gain something without risking anything.” Hong Jun’s gaze became clear again. He shook his head and said, “Everything is just your guess. Although this guess is exciting, there’s no evidence.”

Li Changshou said, “Fellow Daoist, how do you explain the matter regarding Heng’e? I actually feel sorry for Fellow Daoist Heng’e. After all, she is innocent and I used her. When the Fire Emperor attacked the sky, I had already basically confirmed your relationship with Senior Lang. I invited her along just to verify this conjecture. Fellow Daoist, your attitude towards Heng’e was the best evidence.”

Hong Jun said calmly, “I will forgive Heng’e because she is the disciple of my old friend.”

“Oh? The disciple of an old friend?”

Li Changshou slowly sighed. “Fellow Daoist, can you let me tell you a story?”

“It’s still early for Wukong to wake up. You can tell me whatever you want,” Hong Jun said. “However, the story is just a story.”

“Fellow Daoist, you really… are the type to hold out hope until faced with the grim reality.”

Li Changshou held the Chaos aura in his right hand and slowly pushed it to the square table. He raised his left hand and pointed his sword. Immortal light surrounded him, and a book appeared behind him.

Ling’e said.

Li Changshou said, “Fellow Daoist, do you know what you’ve done in the past thousand years since you left the Primordial World?”

“Don’t keep me in suspense. Just tell me.”

“The first thing is to naturally use the Heavenly Fiend Dao to control the Void Bodhi and comprehend the Great Dao of the world to find a way to kill you. The second thing is to accompany Ling’e and Yun. The third thing was to split a wisp of essence soul and simulate the state of a Heavenly Fiend. He slowly expanded his immortal senses in the Chaos Sea and merged with it. It’s similar to the antenna.”

Li Changshou said, “That’s actually a very dangerous thing. If my Dao heart is unbalanced, it will affect my heart. However, I have to find the answer I want.”

“Answer?”

“Yes, the answer.”

Li Changshou pursed his lips and said softly, “Ever since I came to the Primordial World, I’ve been asking myself the question and its answer.”

Hong Jun asked with interest, “What question?”

“Why is this world like this?”

Hong Jun could not help but be more interested.

Li Changshou took a deep breath and began to explain the source of the problem.

“Fellow Daoist… I’ll call you Senior. Senior, do you think a newborn child can grasp a language without coming into contact with any language?”

Hong Jun shook his head slightly.

Li Changshou said, “Yes, you can’t. There are many experiments in my hometown. Language is a collective memory and a part of the legacy. It’s not just language. Words, skills, thoughts, and melody are all part of the collective legacy. That is, it is a tool that a newborn needs to learn, remember, and master when they integrate into this group. Fellow Daoist, you should not have any objections.”

“Yes.”

“Then let’s continue to extend… logic. Logic is the law and rules of thought. There is a difference between being objective and subjective. That extends to another key word, the logic of thinking.”

Li Changshou leaned forward and squinted. He stared at the Dao Ancestor and said softly, “The environment formed by a civilization is different. If there is no primitive, lasting, and stable communication between the two civilizations, the thinking logic formed between the civilizations will be different. The ancient civilizations on Earth are only ancient civilizations from thousands of years ago. The civilizations brewed from the two rivers of the Tigris River and the Euphrates River were different from the civilizations brewed in the land of China. If the two civilizations could meet, they could communicate through learning. That is because they had the same ancestors. Their logic is similar. What about Earth? I just want to ask why I can understand this world without any obstacles. Why can I communicate with the living beings in this world? There are not many boundaries. I only learned the dialect here. It’s very simple. The logic of the living beings in the world is interconnected with my original logic. That was a question that I had kept in my heart before I cultivated. When I came into contact with Senior Lang, I suddenly had a crazy but reasonable thought. Who created this Primordial World? Who is the one who created this world that combines the myths and culture of my hometown in China? Who was it that embedded the same logic pattern as me in this world?”

Dao Ancestor Hong Jun’s expression was indescribably gloomy.

Li Changshou smiled bitterly and sighed. “Fellow Daoist, do you still think that I’m just guessing? That is your greatest flaw. It has been placed in front of me from the beginning. As my Dao Realm continues to deepen, it guides me towards the truth of the Primordial World. Fellow Daoist, do you still not admit it? Do you still need evidence? I still have plenty.”

The Dao Ancestor said coldly, “Yes.”

Li Changshou pointed the sword in his left hand at the gray cloud. The book on his back opened.

A wisp of Dao runes spread out from the scroll and turned into a spiritual perception”. It condensed into a few murmurs in their hearts.

“What the hell is this place? I feel so dizzy every day. Is this death?”

“No, is it that uncomfortable to die? Didn’t you say that nothing would happen if I closed my eyes? I have lived for more than forty years without achieving anything. I was killed by a car and still suffered like this?”

“Eh? Could this be the legendary Chaos Sea? The Primordial Chaos was first established, and Pangu established the world?”

Dao Ancestor Hong Jun frowned tightly. At that moment, he only closed his eyes. The smile on his lips was a little bleak.

Li Changshou retracted his finger and stared at the Dao Ancestor.

“Fellow Daoist, let me tell you a story about Senior Lang and you.”

Hong Jun was silent.

Li Changshou slowly said in a slightly soothing voice, “There was a middle-aged man who was lost for half his life and was sent away by a car accident. When he woke up, he should not have opened his eyes. Instead, when he woke up, he realized that he was in an indescribable gray space, feeling empty and helpless. Then, he fell into a tragic situation. He only had his thoughts and no physical body. He could not sense the passage of time, but his mind was constantly jumping. He could not die even if he wanted to. He could only sleep again and again. What he did not know was that in this region that contains almost endless power, an area that cannot be understood or described, many wonderful things would happen only if he thought about it.”

” He was actually the only ruler of this period and region. He felt eternal loneliness. In the endless silence, he almost went crazy. In a daze, he began to talk to himself. He was crazy. He was schizophrenic and had split thoughts. In order to resist the loneliness that lasted for a long time, other personalities appeared without the main personality noticing. The concept of time and space does not exist here. However, as his only thought, any other thoughts he had were affecting this region. Suddenly, he had an idea. Eh? Could this be the legendary Chaos Sea? The Primordial Chaos has been established, and Pangu established the world? He wondered. What he did not know was that his thoughts, subconscious judgment, and memories had affected the evolution of this mystical region.”

“When this mystical region evolved into the Shattered Dao Law, it evolved into many True Spirit living beings. Pangu was born in his small wish. If the concept of time was introduced, it would definitely take an extremely long time. Then, the key words surrounding Pangu—the Chaos Green Lotus, the Chaos Chicken, the Heaven-Opening Axe, and the Connate Godfiend were born. Due to the birth of many True Spirits, the weak mind that ruled over everything had increased in number. Naturally, he lost the right to rule when he was alone.”

“However, in his subconsciousness, he had already transmitted his thoughts. Everything had changed in his thoughts. This era is called the Primordial Chaos. He is Senior Lang. What’s more terrifying is that Senior Lang’s main personality was in a daze and had completed a split from the other personalities. He could deduce that the first True Spirit split happened before many True Spirit living beings were born, before the appearance of the Pangu God. The split personality was attached to a True Spirit. Regarding this point, the Lady of Earth’s Seven Emotions incarnation can prove that such a situation can exist.”

“In his daze, Senior Lang forgot that it was the companion he had imagined. This should be to resist loneliness and continuously hypnotize himself. He subconsciously treated his personality as a friend. Then, Senior Lang’s main personality really became friends with these split personalities. These personalities had Lang’s memories and knew everything that Lang had caused. They had fatal flaws. They were either stubborn, benevolent, or wanted to imitate the main personality. They were incomplete, but they tried their best to accompany the main personality through those difficult lonely years.”

” One of the personalities was the strongest and the most gentle. He suggested that the various personalities hide their identities and become a part of the world that the main personality wanted to see. Hence, they claimed their identities in the Chaos and Primordial World. They also turned the most intense hope of the main personality into reality step by step. At that moment, the group of personalities were still sharing a body formed from a True Spirit. He had encountered the Pangu God and deceived him. He had relied on his main identity to plead for mercy for his ‘good friend’ and survived. This single-spirit living being is you, Hong Jun, right? What was Senior Lang’s main personality looking forward to the most?”

” According to the remaining information in the Chaos Sea, what appeared the most frequently was the main personality’s self-consolation. ‘I transmigrated to the Chaos Sea? In the future, I can still be brothers with the Pangu God and live all the way back to Earth!’ Later on, Senior Lang’s main personality witnessed the creation of the world and the birth of the Primordial World. This area was called the Chaos Sea. After the death of the Pangu God, those split personalities began to use the memories and impressions of the main personality to write the script of the Primordial World.”

“They gradually separated from Hong Jun’s body and directed one big movie after another. The Fiend Ancestor, Rahu, was Senior Lang’s fake personality. Dao Ancestor Hong Jun was Senior Lang’s fake personality. The old man lying in Randeng’s stone coffin is you, right, Senior? The world was created by the Pangu God. His cultivation speed was even faster than the Three Pure Ones formed by the Pangu God’s essence soul. It was ridiculous. The Grand Pure One had said that the old man in the stone coffin was the first batch of experts after the creation of the world. His strength was once above Teacher’s. That was completely unreasonable. Also, Teacher Zhun Ti was also one of the personalities. Later, he was also devoured by Dao Ancestor Hong Jun. That was the former life of the Primordial World Residence Committee. Lang did not join the former Primordial World Residence Committee. In the ancient battle, the battle between the Fiend Ancestor and the Dao Ancestor was actually a battle between two “larger” personalities that kept devouring other personalities. The rules were that the winner would eat all.”

” After the Fiend Ancestor lost, the split personalities merged into one. They had complete thoughts, stubborn thoughts, and unwillingness to belong to the main personality. When the split personalities had different opinions from the main personality…”

“No, that’s not right. The conflict between the split personality and the main personality erupted in the split personality’s plan. The split personality tried his best to kill the main personality! He found a dignified reason for himself—to protect the Primordial World. In reality? The name of the Primordial World was subconsciously given by the living beings who had accidentally transmigrated to the initial period of the Chaos Sea. When the split personality killed the main personality, it lost all meaning. However, the split personality did not fall into chaos because of that. Instead, he placed himself above all living beings. The selfishness and ambition of the split personality are just to cover up their flaws.”

Li Changshou paused and looked at the Dao Ancestor, who had his eyes closed.

“Fellow Daoist, aren’t you going to speak?”

Hong Jun remained silent.

Li Changshou continued, “That’s the third reason why Senior Lang went crazy and chose to commit suicide. Senior Lang’s main personality discovered these secrets and completely collapsed.To be honest, if it were me, I would also collapse. When I was thinking about that, I also denied it.”

Li Changshou sneered. “So I’ve been living in a story written by someone.”

“Here.”

Hong Jun said calmly. A piece of paper flew out of his sleeve and landed in front of Li Changshou.

Then, some fog appeared around the piece of paper. The surroundings fell into an illusion. Li Changshou saw Senior Lang’s figure.

Li Changshou could clearly see Senior Lang.

He was very ordinary. The middle-aged man had a fair face and was neither tall nor short. He was dressed in an exquisite Daoist robe.

Senior Lang knelt in front of the Kun Peng stone tablet. His eyes were red, and his expression was a little ferocious. The sword fingers that were writing the words kept trembling.

At the same time, Senior Lang’s low roar appeared outside the scene.

“It’s fake, it’s all fake! This world should not have existed in the first place. The evolution of this world has gone wrong! The world that Brother Pangu wanted to create has been personally shackled by me. My True Spirit is constantly reincarnating in this wrong world. It’s just repeating one mistake after another! I want to destroy this world. I want the Chaos Sea to return to its original state and return to when I was not here. No, this is not the Chaos Sea. The Chaos Sea is the destiny I gave it. Chains! I am the shackles of this world! It’s me, this bastard, who can’t stand the loneliness. I gave the True Spirits who jumped into this world a destiny! I even yelled that Destiny is fake every day! I have to destroy it… Let me bear my own mistakes!”

The crazy voice gradually drifted away, and the scene slowly dissipated.

Li Changshou looked at the last page in front of him and quickly confirmed that it was the last page of the year that Senior Lang had written. The messy handwriting on it was similar to what he had heard just now.

He sensed a faint change in the Dao Ancestor’s aura. He could not help but open his eyes and look at the Dao Ancestor again.

This time, a few figures appeared in the Dao Ancestor’s pupils.

A young man dressed in blood-colored armor and holding a pitch-black divine spear, an old man who had a huge hole in his chest. Daoist Bai Jing who was sitting on a rocking chair and sleeping peacefully.

The Fiend Ancestor Rahu, Randeng, and Senior Lang.

Apart from Senior Lang, Rahu, Randeng, and Dao Ancestor Hong Jun spoke at the same time. The three voices were mixed together and were actually so rough and heavy.

“No one can destroy the Primordial World that we created.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Hong Jun closed his eyes. When he opened them again, there was no longer any phenomenon like before.

“Yes, so what?”

Hong Jun sighed and said, “Although I’m unwilling to admit my background and used earthworms to cover it up, it’s just a problem. Now, I’m the Dao Protector of the world. You can’t deny that. I killed the main personality who gave birth to me for this world.”

“For the world?”

Li Changshou laughed.

“Don’t deceive yourself. Which of the things you did was for the world? Fellow Daoist, Senior Lang was injured when the world was created. Then, he found a place to recuperate and slept through the long ancient times. If I’m not wrong, Senior Lang slept through the entire ancient times because you sealed him, right? From the moment Senior Lang’s True Spirit split, you have already betrayed the main personality. You share your memories and know the Primordial World that Senior Lang is subconsciously thinking about. However, you have become a Dao Ancestor with the name Hong Jun. That is the beginning of your ambition. The other personalities were just tricked by you. You planned carefully step by step to devour the main personality. Every step you take is extremely ingenious. I even suspect that you modified the cognition of the two “larger” personalities when your True Spirit split into the Fiend Ancestor and the old Daoist priest in the coffin. Otherwise, why would the Fiend Ancestor be so foolish as to fall for it?”

Hong Jun smiled and said, “That’s purely your guess.”

“That’s right. There’s no evidence for that,” Li Changshou said calmly. “Unless we find the Fiend Ancestor’s corpse or awaken the original phoenix from the Undying Fire Mountain.”

Hong Jun’s smile froze.

The bamboo forest fell silent again. The gray gas in the middle of the two figures had been put away by Li Changshou. The book that was revealed behind Li Changshou had also quietly dissipated.

Li Changshou said, “Fellow Daoist, aren’t you going to admit defeat? I’ve already broken your heels.”

“Where did I lose?”

Hong Jun said calmly, “On the other hand, Fellow Daoist, if you can really defeat me, how will you deal with this world? Destroy the Primordial World?”

“Why would I?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I think this world is not bad. It is a miniature of my hometown’s mythical system. It is related to the culture in my hometown. It is very friendly and novel. Wouldn’t a new world develop in any direction? Senior Lang’s subconsciousness provided a model for this world. It affected the evolution of the initial spiritual energy ball and created such a beautiful world. Isn’t it good to let it exist? Fellow Daoist, haven’t you realized? The problem is not what the world is like or what living beings are like. This world that can only exist in the legends of my hometown is already quite good. The problem lies with you and the Heavenly Dao. Can’t I let this world escape the shackles and let it expand and develop according to the influence of living beings and Dao laws? There is no need to say that the Primordial World has to be shattered into a boundless starry sky. There is also no need to say that there has to be a solar system and a blue star. The universe of my hometown is bigger. Isn’t it good to let the Primordial World develop itself? Isn’t it good to let the Heavenly Dao lose its selfish desires? Fellow Daoist, you have left the essence of the world. The world and the Great Dao don’t have any consciousness. Isn’t that good? I object to Senior Lang’s plan to destroy the world. That’s an irresponsible way of escaping. This kind of violent escape and not finding a remedy is too crude.”

Li Changshou’s gaze was rather sincere. “Fellow Daoist, let go. Give the world freedom and the living beings freedom.”

Hong Jun squinted slightly and stared at Li Changshou.

Li Changshou said, “Fellow Daoist, didn’t you say that you did it for the good of the world?

This question seemed to have hit your sore spot. Fellow Daoist, you can’t answer for a while, right? Because you have never thought of letting go of the world!The Heavenly Dao is your stepping stone. After killing Senior Lang, you have already replenished yourself. You are now Dao Ancestor Hong Jun, a living being who wants to control the world and the Chaos Sea. You spread the Primordial Dao and promoted the so-called Three Corpse Killing Technique. Fellow Daoist, the Three Corpse Killing Technique that you taught me back then was brilliant. However, after this technique, I sensed your pathological thoughts for the first time. A selfless person insisted on cutting out his own corpse, good corpse, and evil corpse. I have to suspect that you want the Qi Refinement cultivators to be like you and fantasize that you are the real true self. Everything is just to satisfy your twisted Dao heart. Don’t mention that everything is for the world.This world has been crippled by the few of you since ancient times!”

“Forget it. We still can’t understand each other.”

“Fellow Daoist, you’re making me feel a little disgusted…”

Li Changshou felt speechless for the first time when he looked at the Dao Ancestor, who looked regretful.

“We still have to fight in the end.” Hong Jun did not mind Li Changshou’s ridicule. “In that case, I’ll believe that you have a trump card that can threaten me. How do you want to fight? When do you want to fight? That is a senior’s last concern for the junior. In fact, Changshou… if you had chosen to cultivate the Three Corpse Killing Technique that I had given you back then, I would have indeed given you the Dao Ancestor’s position and explored the path to return to the azure star.”

Li Changshou shook his head.

“That’s not safe for me. I don’t even dare to let paper effigies have consciousness. Let’s not talk about these emotional words. Fellow Daoist, your words are actually meaningless.”

Li Changshou paused and looked down. He saw the Dharma spell mirror on the desk. Sun Wukong had already opened his eyes and looked at the dark clouds in the sky. He was in a daze.

“He’s awake.”

The Dao Ancestor’s smile became wider. “Before we fight, why don’t we see how far he can go?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, you’re also stalling for time, right?”

“Oh? Why do you say that?”

“You’re just taking the time to devour the Heavenly Dao.” Li Changshou raised his hand and pointed. An image slowly appeared behind the Dao Ancestor.

Outside the Purple Cloud Palace, a jade plate was spinning rapidly. There was a huge cauldron under it.

In the huge cauldron, a colorful figure sat quietly. It was being refined by the Cosmic Cauldron continuously. Wisps of light darted into the jade disc.

Outside the cauldron, four gray-robed old Daoists sat cross-legged and extended their palms towards the Cosmic Cauldron.

Seeing that, Li Changshou remained calm and said leisurely, “Fellow Daoist, you are indeed impressive to be able to deceive the Heavenly Dao to destroy its will. However… the will of the Heavenly Dao was originally triggered by you at the end of the ancient times. Even if you devour the will of the Heavenly Dao, you only have a stronger control of the Heavenly Dao. It’s not much different from now.”

Hong Jun said, “You don’t seem to be worried that I will completely control the world.”

Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything. He stared at Sun Wukong, who was beginning to be surrounded by flames.

“The so-called trump cards naturally have to be used at the crucial moment to determine the outcome. Fellow Daoist, you can do whatever you want. When you are ready, I will give you the ceremony that you deserve.”

In other words…

If my main body can arrive here now, I would have already killed you.

However, Li Changshou did not plan to be violent with the Dao Ancestor.

His method of “killing” the Dao Ancestor was not to fight him in a battle. The Grand Pure One had tried that and could not resolve the fundamental problem.
