Meng Xiang suddenly realized it, but he was puzzled when he remembered the Lord of the Planes he met in "Game of the Brave". He asked: "What if I use the law of time to stop or slow down my own time?"
"Haha." The Saint said with an admiring look, "You have only lived for more than 20 years, but you have such an awareness? That's right, using the law of time to slow down the passage of time can achieve eternal life. However, the law of time belongs to the realm of God. Creating and maintaining such a law consumes too much energy and is basically impossible. Moreover, your own time is slow, but the outside world is still passing. Time is not synchronized, which is equivalent to isolating yourself from the other space. How is this different from sleeping?"
"So that's how it is. In other words, the high-level gene-locked warrior called the God of Death should have been able to survive until now by sleeping?" Meng Xiang said confidently.
"That's right, but it's not accurate." The Saint's expression became serious, and he said in a serious tone: "I am good friends with him, and I know that he has a skill called 'faking death and resurrecting'. A human has three souls and seven spirits, but he can keep one spirit in the body forever, keeping the body immortal, while the three souls and six spirits are reincarnated. As long as the reincarnated person dies, he can revive the soul and awaken the real body. In other words, he has always existed as a fake body, dominating the entire reincarnation world. As for the real body, it will only awaken when it is necessary. This inevitable moment, the most recent time was when Pangu, the God of War, fought against the righteous God."
"I see. This is quite interesting." Meng Xiang wiped the sweat from his forehead. Everything was both expected and unexpected.
The future battles between kings will be more tortuous and unpredictable.
"All of these revolve around the conspiracy to take over Gaia's body. Once the God of Death succeeds in taking over Gaia's body, the Eternal Kingdom, that is, the world of reincarnation, will add a plane. This plane is our hometown - the real world." The Saint finally revealed the mystery.
"Seize the body? How to seize the body?" Meng Xiang didn't quite understand the term "seize the body". He only understood its simple meaning, which was "occupy".
"The so-called Gaia consciousness is actually the common consciousness of the creatures in this plane. No, to be more precise, it is the common intention of many souls to exude soul power. The soul of any creature in the real world has soul power, and soul power is originally an inner universe. Soul power is not permanent and can grow together. If the power exuded by two souls is synchronized, a third soul will be born. When this soul grows to a certain extent, it can be transformed into a human soul. You can understand this as the six realms of reincarnation and rebirth in the real world. Generally, weak souls can only possess animals such as livestock with a short life cycle. Only fully grown souls can possess human bodies."
"Humans are born without souls. After they are born, souls possess them, and only then can they be considered normal humans."
"And the shortcut to seize Gaia's consciousness is to influence the common intention of many souls. The key is to control the weak souls, making those souls that have the ability to possess humans a minority, and then reverse the direction, so that Gaia's consciousness becomes the consciousness of the dead god."
The Saint spoke slowly, and Meng Xiang was confused. He couldn't help but ask: "In our real world, there are hundreds of billions of souls. There are no less than 6 billion humans alone. Can the God of the Dead influence the common intentions of so many souls by himself?"
"Don't underestimate the power of cultivators." The Venerable Saint said, "In fact, as long as we occupy the real world and give it enough time, even the old me can seize Gaia's consciousness. However, the real world is our hometown, and the God of Death cannot seize the body of his companions when they are still alive. That's why he led the Conferred God War and persuaded us to create the reincarnation world, and then took advantage of our weakness to kill us in one fell swoop. At that time, he had the opportunity to seize the body, but unfortunately, the Conferred God War allowed Gaia to transform the laws of space to make the laws more solid, and the God of Death chased the remaining companions, which consumed a lot of energy. When the righteous gods implemented the reincarnation plan, the body of the God of Death recovered, and he knew Gaia's natural laws like the back of his hand. When he had the conditions to seize the body, Gaia launched a counterattack and created Pangu, the God of War."
Meng Xiang nodded. The whole story gradually became clear. Combined with the previous inferences of Haotian, Patriarch Baimei and Fang Ru, there was no need for His Holiness to explain what happened next.
Pangu, the God of War, fought a great battle with the God of Righteousness. Although he was defeated by the God of Death in the end, the God of Righteousness was also annihilated. The God of Death might be able to attack the real world directly, but Pangu, the God of War, made him very afraid. Even if he was undefeated, he might not be able to win a complete victory. Therefore, he let the God of Righteousness occupy the body of the gene-locked strongman again in the reincarnation world, trying to store enough power to invade the real world in one fell swoop, until now...
"By the way, was your meeting me a coincidence?" Meng Xiang was a little curious. He had heard from Zunsheng before that this dimension of "Journey to the West" had experienced the passage of tens of millions of years. If he had never entered "Painted Skin", then wouldn't Zunsheng have waited in vain
"It's not a coincidence." The Saint smiled faintly and said, "The two horror movies after the announcement of the king's battle, the main god took back the reincarnation, and no one could intervene. Therefore, every time the reincarnation begins, I can foresee the two horror movies before the king's battle. In addition to Painted Skin, the horror movies performed by the reincarnation team of the entire reincarnation world are all oriental fantasy. In addition to Painted Skin, there are also The Legend of Shu, Fox Fairy, A Chinese Ghost Story, etc. Once the existence of a strong person who has obtained the inheritance of Gaia is discovered, the side story of Journey to the West will begin. The character named Pang Yong also exists to trigger the side story."
"I see. But I don't understand." Meng Xiang raised his head and asked in confusion, "You asked me to come and went to so much trouble to set up a side story just to let me know the history of the past?"
The Saint shook his head and said, "I have already said that this is Gaia's intention. I am now only a thought, without any power. I exist because of Gaia. I want to pass on two pieces of information to you. The first is the method to activate the Five Elements Collapse Array."
"Isn't it just that there will be five passages leading to the real world that will break the void and allow Gaia consciousness to move in?" Meng Xiang asked.
"The principle is correct. Once Gaia's consciousness moves in and erases the Lord God's mark, then everyone in this reincarnation can return to the real world through the channel. However, this is only a temporary solution, because the Eternal Kingdom currently has tens of billions of souls, and the people in this reincarnation are just a drop in the ocean, insignificant."
"The fundamental solution is to activate the great formation to break and disintegrate the reincarnation world." Fang Ru had already deduced this point, and Meng Xiang just asked the Saint to confirm it again.
"That's right." The Venerable Saint stroked his beard and said, "The method to activate the formation is, first, to become the winner of the King's Battle and master the reincarnation, then, through the Five Elements Channel, release all the souls of the Eternal Kingdom. Once the Eternal Kingdom loses its soul, it is equivalent to losing the body of the soul. At this time, the plane where the Five Elements Channel is broken will have a domino effect, and the plane will continue to be broken until the reincarnation world is broken."
"The five planes of the Five Elements Collapse Array are the central hubs of the planes of the reincarnation world. Once the void is broken, they will devour time and space like a caterpillar, devouring the planes and spaces that have lost their souls, including the main god space." The words of the saint made Meng Xiang think a lot.
He asked tentatively: "So, we can no longer revive our dead companions in the main god space?"
"Not necessarily." Venerable Saint said, "There are tens of billions of souls in the reincarnation world. Even if they are released, it will not be a matter of a moment. Before the next reincarnation starts, you have some time to return to the main god space. Before the space is broken, you can find a way to revive your companions."
"I see, thank you." Hope ignited in Meng Xiang's heart. Although it was very slim, as long as there is hope, there is motivation.
Meng Xiang was ambitious and full of confidence. His current goal was very clear: first, in the King's Battle, he would break the five channels into the void; second, he would defeat the righteous gods and win the King's Battle; third, he would resurrect his companions before the plane space of the reincarnation world was broken.
"This is the first reason. Then, what is the second reason for summoning me here?" Meng Xiang was free of worries now and asked casually.
"The second reason is also the most important one." Zunsheng said: "The purpose of setting up the side plot of "Journey to the West" to deceive people is because of this." He patted the big pillar next to him. This pillar was originally a giant Buddha, and it was the place where Zunsheng was parasitic. He broke out of the orifice, and the giant Buddha turned into a towering pillar.
"What's so special about this pillar?" Meng Xiang asked puzzledly.
"This is a divine weapon left behind by Pangu, the God of War, in a battle against the righteous gods. Only those who have inherited Gaia can hold it. Because it is condensed with the power of the soul and sets the laws of nature."
"In one reincarnation, Haotian ascended to heaven in broad daylight and used boundless magic to get in touch with Gaia and obtain the inheritance. However, when he ascended to heaven in broad daylight, he severed the cause and effect between himself and the Lord God and extinguished the Lord God's mark. He could no longer stay in the reincarnation world, so he chose to self-destruct and leave the seeds of hope in this reincarnation. And you are the one who got Gaia's inheritance, and you can lift this pillar. You have to give this pillar to Pangu, the God of War. In other words, whoever can lift the pillar besides you is Pangu, the God of War."
The Saint looked at the pillar solemnly and said this, which startled Meng Xiang.
"This pillar is hundreds of meters high. Even a space bag can't contain it. How can I take it back?" Meng Xiang smiled bitterly helplessly.
"Haha, it can be like this." The Saint shouted, "Ruyi Jingu Bang, change..."
"Ruyi Jingu Bang?" Before Meng Xiang could recover from his surprised expression, an even greater surprise immediately appeared.
The huge pillar shrank at a high speed. In the blink of an eye, the pillar that was hundreds of meters high had turned into an iron rod less than 2 meters long.
The Ruyi Jingu Bang, originally named Dinghai Shenzhen Bang, weighs 13,600 kilograms and is the personal weapon of Sun Wukong, the protagonist of Journey to the West. It can be large or small and is the most magical weapon among all magical weapons.
Meng Xiang picked up the Ruyi Jingu Bang. Although its net weight was over 5 tons, with Meng Xiang's current strength, it was not difficult for him to swing the iron stick.
"Is this artifact the weapon left behind by the defeated God of War Pangu?" Meng Xiang asked.
"That's right, this magic weapon can help you find the god of war Pangu. This is the most important secret of Gaia setting this side storyline. In order to cover up the Ruyi Jingu Bang, I was entrusted by Gaia to set up the side storyline of "Journey to the West", and in order to cover up the momentum of the Ruyi Jingu Bang, I deliberately let the time of this plane pass since the primitive times. The Tai Laojun you met, as well as the gods and Buddhas in the sky, are all products of the primitive times. They have been tempered for tens of millions of years and possess many magic weapons to help me cover up the Ruyi Jingu Bang magic weapon." The saint said, and all the puzzles were solved.
Meng Xiang was secretly grateful. In order to convey the message and collect the Ruyi Jingu Bang, Gaia and Zunsheng spent so much effort to hand it over to him. He put the Ruyi Jingu Bang into his space bag, and for a moment he was filled with emotion. He had thousands of words in his heart, but he couldn't say a word.
"Okay, that's all I have to say. Go back. If you fail this time, the Ruyi Jingu Bang will come back here again and wait for the next reincarnation. However, according to my calculations, after this reincarnation, the God of Death will definitely invade the real world regardless of everything. At that time, he will seize Gaia's consciousness, and tens of billions of souls will never live again."
"Including me." The Saint sighed and said. He now existed only as a soul, with no power.
"Don't worry, there won't be another reincarnation." Meng Xiang bowed deeply and said gratefully, "If Gaia is just a collection of consciousness, you are a real soul. You have been guarding here for thousands of years, adding hope to our victory over the righteous gods. On behalf of all creatures and souls, I thank you. At the same time, I promise you that I will beat the righteous gods without leaving a single piece of armor, and then release the souls and destroy the reincarnation world."
"I... I have a hunch that you can do it. You possess enormous power, and you are a miracle among the reincarnators. You are not Pangu the God of War, but once you break through the gene lock, you will have a chance to surpass Pangu the God of War. With your help, Pangu the God of War will no longer fight alone. This time, it is our best chance to defeat the righteous god." Zunsheng patted Meng Xiang's shoulder gently. Although he felt nothing, Meng Xiang's blood was boiling.
This was an old man's praise, and it was also a trust placed in him. He was not begging, but Meng Xiang felt that he was grieving and blaming himself.
The Saint exists alone in a certain dimension of the reincarnation world with his divine consciousness. His purpose may be to make up for their mistakes in launching the Conferred God War and creating the reincarnation world.
"Then I will go back. You just wait patiently. Soon, you will return to your hometown and become a human being again." Meng Xiang nodded to the Saint, his eyes showing infinite confidence.
"Well, I believe you can do it. Now that the side storyline is complete, there are no more monsters blocking the road, and you can go back safely." The Saint said with a smile, stroking his beard.
"Really? That's so disappointing. I still want to have a big fight." Meng Xiang jumped into the air, stepped on the Green Magic Board, and flew to the east.
In the darkness, a laugh arose spontaneously, as if it was ringing beside the saint, and as if it was seeping out in space.
The Venerable Saint sighed and said: "Gaia, even you agree with this kid? It seems that Haotian has chosen the right person this time. The key to our victory may not lie in Pangu God of War, but in him."
Meng Xiang did not hear what the Saint said. His mood was unstable and he was thinking about Wang Zhan all the time.
Strength, everything depends on strength. Only by overwhelming the strength of all living beings can you have a chance to defeat the righteous gods.
Meng Xiang needs to be stronger.
