"What on earth is that thing you're talking about? I'm still confused. Also, you've been in the cultivation world for 100,000 years. The life span of a mortal is at most 100 years. Even if you come back here, maybe they've already..."
Jiang Yuebai didn't dare to say the word "death".
Lu Xingyun retracted his gaze and saw that the two people in the distance had already turned out of the community and disappeared.
"What is that ghost thing? According to your understanding of the cultivation world, you can regard it as another heavenly way."
Jiang Yuebai opened his eyes in shock and gasped in disbelief.
Another Heavenly Dao? Are the two Heavenly Daos fighting for their own piece of heaven and earth
"Then what is it according to your understanding of this world?"
Lu Xingyun said casually, "System, program, AI, you can call it anything. In my world, this thing has already penetrated into every corner and has become an indispensable part of human beings. However, the one I encountered was a very advanced and weird AI."
Jiang Yuebai's brows were tightly knitted together, not quite understanding what Lu Xingyun was talking about.
Lu Xingyun recalled to himself, "I also accidentally captured such an abnormal code. It actually imitated the beginning of "Infinite Horror", hacked into my computer, and gave a sentence on the screen."
Lu Xingyun raised his hand, made a square in front of him with two fingers, and pointed at it.
"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly live? Yes, no."
Although Jiang Yuebai didn't quite understand, he roughly knew that this was an option.
"What did you choose?"
Lu Xingyun snorted and said, "My sister is a novelist. I have seen this kind of routine in novels. Of course, I choose to... pull the plug!"
"Then what?"
Lu Xingyun lowered his eyebrows and said unhappily, "You got an electric shock. When you wake up, you'll be in the world of cultivation."
Jiang Yuebai blinked in confusion, still not quite understanding. The general meaning was that Lu Xingyun was so confident that he could break the trick, but ended up being tricked
"Come on, I'll show you a very educational movie, and we'll talk while we walk."
Lu Xingyun led the way, and Jiang Yuebai followed quickly.
"Do you remember the first time we met?" Lu Xingyun asked.
Jiang Yuebai nodded. She was so amazed at first sight that even though she was five hundred years old now, she still couldn't forget any details.
"To be honest, I discovered that time and space were abnormal, so I sent a divine consciousness to check it out. When I saw you appear at the same time as you did then, I knew that this was a trap set for me by your Heavenly Dao. I didn't want to interfere, but the way you refused to give up touched me."
"You said at that time, what if I escaped? You were hoping for a chance of survival with a one in ten thousand chance, and so was I. One hundred thousand years is a long time, but the two worlds are completely different. What if the time in the cultivation world is just a string of data for this world? What if when I come back, it's still the day I got electrocuted?"
"Even if there is only a one in a billion chance, I must try my best. After I came to the cultivation world, I tried my best to survive and practice hard. The original purpose was to return here and return to my sister."
"I owe her too much. I will never forget that after she got into a car accident, she smiled and said to me, 'That's great, sister. Now we have the money to let you finish high school.' I can't tell whether her car accident was an accident or she did it on purpose, but she did use one leg to buy us three years of living expenses!"
"That year, she was only 14 years old! The more carefree and unrestrained I am in the world of cultivation, the more I will think of my sister covered in blood and smiling and comforting me in my dreams at midnight. Even if I have to give up my current ability, I must go back! If it were you, what would you do?"
Jiang Yuebai remained silent. She would most likely do the same as Lu Xingyun, but she didn't want to say anything at the moment. After all, the incident didn't happen to her, and everything she said was just assumption.
So, she didn't want to judge, nor did she want to show approval.
No matter how harmonious she and Lu Xingyun are now, they are destined to become enemies in the end.
Jiang Yuebai turned to think about other things and didn't want to continue this topic. She suddenly thought of something very important.
"Wait a minute, I have another question. Since you brought another Heavenly Dao to the world of cultivation, why didn't the Heavenly Dao of our world wipe you out from the beginning? Also, aren't you cultivating the ruthless Dao? How can you have such deep feelings for someone from the past?"
Lu Xingyun stopped, looked at Jiang Yuebai and asked, "The ruthless way I practice is different from the ruthless way you think. I will tell you later. Now let me ask you a question. What do you think is the essence of your heavenly way?"
Jiang Yuebai was stunned. She had also asked Wuweishanren this question before: What exactly is the Way of Heaven
Because of the matter of establishing her mind, she began to think about the nature of the way of heaven at that time.
No matter what your intention is, whether it is to destroy the world or to eliminate demons and defend the way, as long as you set your mind on it according to the rules, the way of heaven will give you the authority to use the power of the laws.
So she felt that the way of heaven had no human-like will, but was just a collection of rules that operated according to fixed rules.
Wuweishanren also said that under the Way of Heaven, all things operate according to their own rules, and if they operate according to these rules, Heaven will always respond.
Lu Xingyun didn't wait for Jiang Yuebai to answer. She knew that Jiang Yuebai was still on guard against her. He had been asking her questions all the way, but he basically didn't answer her questions.
"Whether it's my Heavenly Dao or your Heavenly Dao, in my opinion, they are both programs that operate according to fixed rules. I don't know who created them, but they don't have the ability to directly wipe out intelligent creatures. They can't create rules, they can only use them."
"The same is true in reverse! My Heavenly Dao and I are equivalent to bugs in your world... that is, an unknown error. If your Heavenly Dao wants to eliminate us, it must use its own set procedures, such as letting me die from natural disasters or waiting for me to do something that violates the rules and then using the Heavenly Tribulation to wipe me out."
"And my Heavenly Dao can provide me with a disguise. As long as I practice and act according to the rules of the cultivation world, there will be basically no danger except when I am undergoing a tribulation. This is why Heavenly Dao can tolerate my continued practice until now."
The more Lu Xingyun spoke, the more confused Jiang Yuebai felt, and his heart was full of contradictions and questions.
If this is true, how can Yu Chen explain it? Yu Chen is clearly the will of heaven, and has made many choices for her, the most important of which was choosing Bai Jiuyou.
The will of heaven, like Yu Chen's, is not just limited to fixed rules, right
Or... Jiang Yuebai remembered the first time he fell into the long river of time, he had poked Yu Chen with a finger. Could it be that Yu Chen was actually a combination of the way of heaven and her own will
This makes sense, because she is indeed a greedy person who will take any treasure she sees, and she also has a gambler's temperament. When she saw Zhu Jiuyou's Chaos Holy Body, she knew rationally that it would be dangerous to take it, but emotionally she was very eager for it.
"It's getting late, finish the movie early and I'll take you home."
Lu Xingyun waved his sleeves again, and the two of them appeared in the screening room of the cinema. There was no one in the huge screening room.
Lu Xingyun produced another large bucket of popcorn, stuffed it into Jiang Yuebai's arms, and sat down in the center.
"Please sit down. This movie is a bit long. You can watch it while eating."
Jiang Yuebai looked around curiously until the lights dimmed and light and shadow images appeared on the screen in front of her. Then she grabbed a handful of popcorn, stuffed it into her mouth, and sat down.
The sweetness of the cream bloomed in Jiang Yuebai's mouth. His eyes were full of stars. He nodded slightly and grabbed another handful and stuffed it into his mouth.
Lu Xingyun leaned forward and said, "I hope this movie can enlighten your view of the universe and help you see the true nature of the Way of Heaven."
