"Have you ever talked to a true spirit?"
Lu Li immediately realized the key.
The great sage actually talked to the true spirit
Even if the true spirit is not the so-called incarnation of the will of the heavens, its origin is absolutely amazing, and not just anyone can talk to it.
It was indeed beyond Lu Li's expectation that the great sage could do this.
However, the great sage said with certainty: "Yes, I did talk to the true spirit, and at that time, it had already recognized its identity and admitted that it was the incarnation of the will of the heavens."
"It talks to you? Why? What does it want? What can you give it?"
Lu Li's tone was urgent and he asked several questions at once.
Hearing Lu Li's question, the great sage said: "Why is it talking to me? To be honest, I haven't thought about this question clearly now. Maybe it's because I have lived for too long, and in this era, there are few people like it. I have returned to my ancient life. Perhaps it is because there are some problems in the heavens. There are many sources of this problem, and part of them is because the high priest and I occupy a certain special law in the heavens. But no matter what the reason is, It has taken the initiative to appear in front of me and in front of the high priest, and it has tried to communicate with us more than once."
"As for what it wants." The Great Sage said with a hint of ups and downs in his tone: "It wants eternity, wants transcendence, and wants to prevent the arrival of the next era!"
What
Want to prevent the next era from coming
It's not really a secret that true spirits want eternity. Lu Li had thought of this before. No matter what secrets are hidden in the ancient world, if the true spirit is still in the true martial arts domain, it must have some conspiracy. The most likely possibility is that it wants to obtain the treasure of luck and gain eternity.
As for what kind of existence eternity is, it may not be that important to the true spirit.
All in all, Lu Li believed that the True Spirit must have some plans for eternity, but he did not expect that the True Spirit also wanted to prevent the arrival of the next era.
why is that
What is the so-called next era
Lu Li thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure this out.
In the end, the great sage took the initiative to give the answer.
He said slowly: "At the end of every era, everything in the heavens will be destroyed. This naturally includes the true spirit itself, even if it uses some means to separate itself from the heavens in this era. , has the ability to walk independently, but it still cannot prevent the end of the era and the end of all destruction. The reason why I say it is the fifth layer of the heavens is because, in every new era, it will be born from ignorance, Then gradually he has his own consciousness, his own memory, and finally continues to experience each level of reincarnation and cycle, and then he watches helplessly as he expands to the limit, and finally returns to nothingness, while half asleep and half awake, waiting for the arrival of the next era."
"Think about it, how much torture is this for a conscious being?"
"Billions, tens of billions, hundreds of billions, it can't even be described in words. For a period of time that can be measured, it has been undergoing this cycle. Birth, destruction, birth, destruction. This is simply the most terrifying thing in the world. Torture, therefore, the real prisoner of the heavens is not any of us, the real prisoner of the heavens is none other than the heavens themselves."
The great sage's tone began to become lighter and he said: "According to True Spirit's own description, it had no so-called consciousness at the beginning, and it had no such concept. However, as time went by, as it came again and again After a time of destruction and rebirth, it began to have memories, and then based on these memories, it derived emotions. It began to feel tired, angry, painful, and fearful. All negative emotions came together, and it finally gave birth to the ability to think for itself. , and began to think about why I had to endure all this."
"Finally, after an unknown number of epochs, it began to learn from the creatures in the heavens, learn that knowledge, and absorb the parts of it that were useful to itself, and slowly sorted out a system that belonged to it. Then, it finally Once you do it, you will liberate your consciousness and escape from the control of the heavens.”
"However, according to what it said, that was already a matter of the previous era."
Lu Li frowned, "What happened in the last era? In other words, he failed in the previous era?"
"Yes, in the last era, although it tried every means, it failed in the end. It was once again destroyed along with the heavens, and fell into an almost eternal sleep. But before sleeping, it left behind A foreshadowing, at the beginning of the next era, it will be directly out of 'own' control as an innate born spirit. But the price of this is that the heavens will begin to brew another consciousness, just like a program without emotions. , controlling everything in the heavens on its behalf. And those management authorities and laws are all created by the current 'program' of the heavens. Its ultimate purpose in doing so is to control the escaped consciousness and weaken its power. It can do fewer and fewer things, and after the end of this era, its rebellious will of the heavens will be completely eliminated, and the new program that will be reborn to maintain the operation of the heavens will completely replace it. s position."
After hearing this, Lu Li completely understood the cause and effect of the matter, and whispered: "That's why it wants to get eternity..."
"Eternity, what kind of existence is it? Can it transcend after gaining eternity? Is it really that simple?"
Lu Li let out a sigh of relief. Now he has sorted out most of the causes and consequences. The biggest doubt is what is the meaning of eternity? Why does the true spirit want eternity
It's a pity that the great sage, who knew almost everything, actually shook his head at this time and said lightly: "I'm sorry, I can't give you an exact answer to this question. In other words, even the true spirit himself No one knows the exact answer. No one can figure out what eternity is. However, it is indeed very attractive, isn’t it
At this moment, Beidi suddenly questioned: "But you said from the beginning that you don't know what eternal life is."
"I didn't say that I don't know what eternal life is. I just said that the eternal life of the martial arts system is not the same concept as the eternal life I know. Moreover, the most important point is that you are asking about eternal life, but not eternity. "
The great sage said: "You didn't express it clearly at the beginning, and these two eternities don't mean the same thing at all. Although I don't know what eternity is pursued by the true spirit, I am very sure that it is absolutely consistent with yours. The cognition is different, even very different from the eternity in my cognition. At least, no one knows what it is pursuing before it truly obtains eternity, just like the truth I am looking for, when I see it Before, I couldn’t determine what truth actually was.”
"That's all I know."
The Great Sage looked at them and then said, "Do you have any other questions?"
The entire VIP room fell into a long silence.
No one answered this question.
In other words, these current problems alone have almost caused the "three views" they have built for a long time to completely collapse.
Lu Li was okay, but at this time, Lu Li didn't know what to ask.
In the end, Lu Li did not let the great sage wait for too long and said, "Although I don't have any problems anymore, I still want to make sure that you really have a way to make us enter the Great Dao level, right?"
"Of course." The great sage nodded and said, "I can answer you with certainty on this point. I have a way for you to induce the evolution of your spiritual power, so that you can become what you call... the Great Dao level."
Having said this, he looked out through the window and said calmly: "But before that... we are about to reach the Sacred Weapon Clan."
