Chapter 502 The Question of Life! Who am I?
After hearing Yuan Shoucheng's explanation, Li Muyang breathed a sigh of relief. So that's how it is. So the world background of this world is close to Journey to the West!
"Well... never mind, it's nothing." Li Muyang suddenly remembered someone, but he forced himself to swallow it back. He suddenly realized that this was a question that was probably even more taboo than Dao Ancestor Hongjun in this world, so he suppressed his curiosity and held back the words that were about to come out.
Leaving aside whether Yuan Shoucheng knew of the other party's existence, even if he did, what exactly was that other party? If he didn't know... then it became even more complicated!
Seeing this, Yuan Shoucheng was a little puzzled, but he didn't say anything more, only nodding: "Since you understand what I mean, then I'll leave this fragment of the Heavenly Court to you. As for the Heavenly Emperor's position... hehe, let fate decide! If you are interested..."
After saying this, Yuan Shoucheng smiled meaningfully, the meaning of which was beyond words. He bowed solemnly and then left so as not to disturb Li Muyang.
Li Muyang was left alone, staring at the direction of Nantianmen where Yuan Shoucheng had left, remaining silent for a long time.
After quite some time, he returned to the Heavenly Dao and began to study the Enlightenment Stone Tablet.
Li Muyang had his own judgment on whether Yuan Shoucheng's words were true or false, because he didn't need to use any power at all, thanks to the Time-Space Great Luo Dao Fruit, which was like a key to open a door.
It is very easy to enter the Heavenly Dao consciousness space of this world.
It's really chaotic inside right now! There are Heavenly Daos from several worlds, and each world has three Heavenly Dao consciousnesses: the Creation Heavenly Dao, the Destruction Heavenly Dao, and the Consciousness Heavenly Dao of All Beings... Although the fusion between Heavenly Daos with the same characteristics is relatively smooth, after the fusion, the strength of these three different Heavenly Daos will vary.
The Creation Heavenly Dao and the Consciousness Heavenly Dao, even when working together, are now struggling to suppress the Destruction Heavenly Dao!
The reason for this is that a large part of these worlds, along with their origins, have been destroyed, which has led to a significant increase in the power to destroy the Heavenly Dao!
For a time, the Creation Heavenly Dao and the Consciousness Heavenly Dao were not necessarily defeated, but they were at a disadvantage. At least in the eyes of the Destruction Heavenly Dao, its victory was inevitable.
At this moment, Li Muyang suddenly appeared, and all three Heavenly Dao consciousnesses looked over at the same time, or rather, their senses fell on Li Muyang.
"A person from the Main Source World? What brings you here?" The Consciousness Heavenly Dao, formed from the consciousness of all living beings, was the first to ask Li Muyang. It was the Heavenly Dao that was closest to the living beings of the world.
He would naturally treat Li Muyang, who had helped the world maintain a great deal of dignity and stability, with kindness.
Li Muyang bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Heavenly Dao. I wish to leave behind a few Enlightenment Stone Tablets for this world. Please grant me permission."
The three Heavenly Dao consciousnesses flashed and immediately understood the cause and effect of the matter. They quickly exchanged ideas, and then the Heavenly Dao consciousness spoke again: "Agreed!"
Well, even the Heavenly Dao of Destruction agreed to this without any objection.
This also aligns with Li Muyang's understanding of the Dao.
It's very simple, because the Great Dao of Purification has indeed been lost! The Enlightenment Stele erected by Li Muyang is to fill the missing part of the world—the lost knowledge!
Destroying the world would indeed make the Heavenly Dao of Destruction stronger, but this loss of the world's origin is like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. The strengthening of the Heavenly Dao of Destruction is relative to the other two Heavenly Daos, but overall, it is actually a weakening of all three, a weakening of the entire Heavenly Dao and the world.
Destroying the Heavenly Dao is the world's safety net, essentially a code to overturn the table.
The true situation in the Heavenly Way is now equivalent to the moderates, the neutrals, and the radicals.
The radicals are destroying the natural order and now they want to find and eliminate the mastermind behind it all, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
The moderates say it's not the right time yet, and besides, we can't find one right now!
The neutral faction says that both of you have a point.
So, the radical (and brilliant) Destroyer of Heaven came up with an idea: since we can't find it, let's just destroy the world ourselves in advance! That way, I can reach my strongest state! I don't believe the other side can hide it anymore!
We'll just take out the mastermind and restart the world! That way, the merging of multiple worlds will go smoothly!
As expected of a radical!
The moderates and neutrals won't agree to this!
Without Li Muyang, after the world merged, all sorts of people would have been misled by the mastermind behind the scenes and started fighting each other, plunging the world into chaos. In that case, the Creation Heavenly Dao and the Consciousness Heavenly Dao might have agreed. But now that the overall situation is closer to peace, they certainly wouldn't agree.
Restarting the world will also weaken it, and mass cannot be conserved. Every restart will result in the loss of a portion of the original source! These consumed sources are difficult to recover in a short period of time.
As for those creatures that are destroyed, it's not entirely the Heavenly Dao's way of making things difficult for all living beings. Rather, it's a test, a test to motivate all living beings to become stronger, equivalent to a great calamity! If you can't overcome it, you're doomed, but if you can, the benefits are numerous.
Destroying the Heavenly Dao: Those beings who cannot destroy life are not qualified to be children within my world!
Therefore, Li Muyang understood the current situation: in the martial arts world, there exists a true mastermind who wants to destroy the entire world and devour its origins; this is the ultimate enemy.
From this perspective, the problems in this world are actually easier to handle than those in the main world.
Having gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao, three stone tablets appeared before Li Muyang. These were all transformed from the origin of the Heavenly Dao. Upon seeing this, Old Li waved his hand, and the Shennong Ruler appeared in his hand, then transformed into a writing brush, which he began to wield on the tablets.
Well, the stone tablet only accepts innate Dao patterns. This thing is a rather mysterious concept. It's not a pattern that can be copied exactly. This is what Li Muyang prepared earlier.
He wanted to organize his own and Shennong Beast's purification path into innate Dao patterns, and then record them into these three stone tablets.
We have to record it three more times.
After just one stone tablet, Li Muyang was already covered in sweat.
Upon seeing this, the three Heavenly Daos sent a stream of light into Li Muyang's body, instantly relieving his fatigue.
After a short rest, Li Muyang continued with the second stele. He was panting heavily after finishing it, but the Heavenly Dao intervened again to alleviate his exhaustion. After resting for a while, he quickly finished the third stele as well.
After doing all this, Li Muyang bowed to the Heavenly Dao again: "I trouble the Heavenly Dao to send them to Mount Li of the Great Qin, Mount Qingcheng of the Great Tang, and the back mountain of the National Preceptor's Mansion of the Great Qian respectively."
Well, Li Muyang also had his own selfish motives. Besides, this thing originally belonged to him. If he didn't send it to his own residence, where else could he send it?
"good."
The Heavenly Dao of Consciousness answered, and the three stone tablets instantly transformed into streams of light, breaking through the spatial barrier of the Heavenly Dao and falling into three different locations in the world.
However, Li Muyang's eyes widened because he had just noticed that although he hadn't left his signature on the stone tablet, the Heavenly Dao of Consciousness had added it for him!
The problem is, the signature added by the Heavenly Dao of Consciousness is actually...
“…Bodhi!?” Li Muyang’s expression at this moment was quite interesting!
The Consciousness Heavenly Dao communicated briefly with the other two Heavenly Daos before asking with some confusion, "What's wrong? Isn't this your identity in this world?"
He thought he had made a mistake.
Li Muyang stared wide-eyed at the three Heavenly Daos. Clearly, they didn't sense anything amiss, only that Li Muyang was a bit strange. "You don't even recognize yourself?"
The Heavenly Dao of Consciousness continued, "Aren't you Bodhi? We have sensed Bodhi's aura..."
Li Muyang, looking rather naive, pulled out the Bodhi tree: "Is this it?"
The Heavenly Dao remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement, yet they seemed to be stuck in a rut, and they themselves did not understand...
Li Muyang was still a bit confused, not understanding what had happened. But seeing that he couldn't get any more information from the three Heavenly Daos, he took his leave.
After returning to his residence as the Grand Preceptor of the Great Qian Dynasty, Li Muyang was still somewhat doubtful about life. Not long after he returned, Emperor Liu Yan of the Great Qian Dynasty arrived with several officials.
Liu Yan smiled and was about to say something when Li Muyang bowed and interrupted him: "Your Majesty, I entrust the management of the stone tablet to you. Select some reliable people to study it. I have other matters to attend to and will be going into seclusion for a while!"
Seeing that Li Muyang's complexion was off, pale and with a furrowed brow, Liu Yan hurriedly asked with concern, "Imperial Preceptor, are you alright? Did you get tired from writing the Enlightenment Stele?"
This thing is extremely taxing on one's energy and spirit, and Liu Yan, being a cultivator himself, understood that, but he never expected it to weaken Li Muyang to this extent! Even when they were blocking the South Heavenly Gate, Li Muyang didn't look like this!
Li Muyang shook his head: "Yes and no... Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about it. I just have a question that I can't figure out and need some time to find the answer."
"During this time, you must take good care of the stone tablet. This thing is unique and it is very difficult to recreate! The effect will also be greatly reduced. Don't let it be destroyed by those with ill intentions!"
"I understand!" Liu Yan solemnly promised.
Seeing that Li Muyang was in a hurry, Liu Yan left with his men after speaking, so as not to disturb Li Muyang's seclusion.
Li Muyang watched Liu Yan leave, then waved his hand to set up a barrier to prevent being disturbed. He then took out the Bodhi tree and began to study it.
"What's going on with you?" Li Muyang asked the Bodhi avatar. "How could the Bodhi of this world... have anything to do with you?"
The Bodhi incarnation was also puzzled: "I don't know! I do have a Bodhi incarnation here, but... I haven't done anything significant! I've never even seen a monkey!"
"How about... you go and take a look? Is there a Five Finger Mountain? Or the Eastern Continent? Aolai Country? Flower Fruit Mountain? Is there a divine stone there?"
Li Muyang fell into deep thought. After a long while, he casually remarked, "Big brother! That was at least a thousand years ago when the Monkey King was born! How long has this world been integrated? How could there possibly be a Monkey King? Are you kidding me?"
Bodhi's avatar frowned, suddenly realizing something, and slowly analyzed, "Main body, have you forgotten something? You must know that the existence of this world has a unique and special characteristic!"
"You mean..."
