I have a book of salvation

“It’s rare…”

After a long silence, Zhang Bairen finally spoke: "Although you are not the Fengdu that I am familiar with, and the years you have experienced add up to only a hundred years, but even so, you can still make such a bold decision. Can I only say that you are worthy of being created by those old monsters you are talking about?"

Zhen Yuanzi was not surprised - because Yu Chen's attitude when they met last time made him vaguely guess something.

This guy wants to start a war.

"Although I don't like disputes, but..."

Zhang Bairen waved his hand and continued, "The ancient immortal lineage... many, many years ago, they disguised themselves as friendly aliens and integrated into the Three Realms. Then, when the Three Realms were at their most relaxed, they bared their fangs and attacked ferociously, catching the Three Realms off guard and on the verge of collapse.

Countless years later, not long ago, they once again launched a massive attack with the intention of completely destroying the Three Realms.

Thinking about it this way, it would seem too cowardly and weak if I didn't do something."

His voice was calm, as if he was talking about something unrelated, but his face did not have any of his usual unruly expression. Instead, as he spoke, a cold and murderous aura emanated from him.

Faintly, there seemed to be the sound of golden swords and iron horses, and the clanging sound of swords echoing in my ears!

"Then..."

Zhang Bairen raised his eyelids, and there was an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes, just like the midday sun, so bright that people could not open their eyes!

“——Let’s fight!”

As soon as the words fell, it seemed as if the entire heavenly court was shaking and buzzing!

Nine-colored rays of light descended from the sky, the immortals and gods bowed their heads, and all living beings kowtowed!

--madman.

Yu Chen was shocked.

He wanted to start a war not just because he was passionate, but also because he had a trump card.

He has promised Yu Xiu the achievements and crystallization of countless epochs of civilization.

But what about Zhang Bairen?

He and Zhen Yuanzi were unaware of this, so he agreed with Yu Chen's idea of ​​launching an expedition to start a war, which was simply crazy!

"I agree with Fengdu's idea, Zhenyuan, what about you?" Zhang Bairen turned his head and looked at Zhen Yuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi did not answer immediately, but murmured: "Is the heaven that you just rebuilt going to be dragged into the hell of all-out war by you?"

"It's just a matter of time." Zhang Bairen spread his hands and said, "If Taichu really takes back most of his body and regains countless powers to start the reincarnation of the world, destruction is the only outcome for the Three Realms. We might as well give it a try."

He turned his head, and his gaze seemed to pass through the golden palace. He saw the vast and magnificent heaven, and the magnificent thirty-three heavens connected by the Milky Way.

"——If we lose the battle, I will die before them!"

Very straightforward.

The mind is made up.

Yu Chen and Zhang Bairen looked at Zhen Yuanzi at the same time.

It's his turn to express his opinion.

"I think that the expedition should be considered in the long term..."

Zhen Yuanzi pondered and said, "The last time Qimen rioted, the entire human world was severely damaged, especially those creations that incorporated the Great Source Technique, which were almost completely destroyed. Tianyuan also collapsed, and many holy land families were severely damaged.

Therefore, the war weapons and supplies of the human world are now at a weak point - and even though the Taoist Master Qimen is dead, the shadow of the riot he once caused has not diminished in the slightest. Most creatures simply cannot accept the re-use of Dayuan's craftsmanship and creations.

And Fengdu, your underworld is also expanding now, and it is far from reaching its peak.

And Zhang Bairen, your heaven is in ruins and many immortals and gods are reincarnated, so it is far from being the strongest state..."

Zhen Yuanzi considered more than Yu Chen and Zhang Bairen, or it could be said that his way of looking at problems was different from theirs.

——This further confirms Yu Xiu’s statement.

To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation.

It's still okay now, the three of them can still discuss, argue and express their opinions.

But what if we really end up on a battlefield where things are about to break out?

By then, the three emperors, you will have your ideas and I will have my reasons. Wouldn’t the armies of the three realms be in chaos?

So...the issue of co-leadership must be decided!

"But there is no time, Zhenyuan!" Although Zhang Bairen had just learned about the situation, he was also very keenly aware that there was no time to lose.

With each passing day, more of Taichu's remains are collected by the ancient immortals, and the sooner He will revive!

"If only we can wait until the human world once again accepts the creations of the Great Source Technique, if only we can wait until the underworld has fully expanded to its strongest power, if only we can wait until my heaven reaches its peak..."

Zhang Bairen shook his head: "——Using the words of your human world, the daylily is probably already cold for several generations."

"My point is not to wait until then to start the war." Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and said, "I mean that there is no need to gamble the entire existence of the three realms to fight from the beginning! We can fight, we can go on an expedition, but while we are on the expedition, we must also ensure the vitality of the three realms!"

"So I've always said that you're too cautious." Zhang Bairen shook his head. "In the battle with the Falling Sky, even though the Ancient Immortals launched a sneak attack, it's also a fact that we three realms were defeated. Now we want to counterattack them, but we don't even use our full strength. How can we achieve even the slightest effect?"

“…”

The two began to argue like this.

Zhang Bairen insisted that they should mobilize the forces of the three realms, expedition abroad, and completely destroy the ancient immortal lineage.

Zhen Yuanzi believed that they should proceed step by step, launching a war against the ancient immortals while ensuring the recovery and development of the three realms.

All in all, the debate continues.

"One year."

Just when the two were arguing fiercely, Yu Chen interrupted them.

They both turned around at the same time and looked at him, confused.

"What year?" Zhen Yuanzi frowned.

"Fengdu, since it was you who proposed the expedition, you naturally agree with me, right?" Zhang Bairen didn't care about anything else and just asked Yu Chen.

Both of them looked towards him.

"First of all, I agree with the full-scale expedition. After all, it was me who proposed it." Yu Chen said.

Zhang Bairen raised his eyebrows, while Zhen Yuanzi frowned.

"But Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan is right. It is not an exaggeration to say that our Three Realms are now in a state of disrepair and need to be rebuilt. It is unwise to start a full-scale war at this time." Yu Chen continued.

At this time, the expressions of both of them changed at the same time.

——What, I've said all the good and bad things to you? Why are you just standing there and trying to smooth things over without helping me?

This approach might not offend either side at the secular negotiation table, but now... is this the time to avoid offending either side?

This is a critical moment of life and death!

"Fengdu, we're not arguing, so you don't have to be the peacemaker - instead of that, you might as well speak out your thoughts." Zhang Bairen rubbed his temple and said.

"I never want to be a peacemaker, otherwise I wouldn't have proposed the expedition plan." Yu Chen shook his head and said, "What I mean is that neither of your ideas are feasible.

Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan, you are too cautious. Just as Zhang Bairen said, in the Battle of the Falling Sky countless years ago, the three realms tried their best but failed to defeat the ancient immortals. Now you still want to hold back and fight again, but it is simply impossible to have any effect. Instead of this, you might as well wait to die!

And Fellow Daoist Zhang Bairen, you are too radical. With the current combat power of the Three Realms against the ancient immortal lineage, even if the three of us can compete with the Ancient Immortal King or even defeat him, the sentient beings of the Three Realms below us can never be the opponents of the endless ancient immortals. You are courting death!

I don't mean anything else. I mean that both of your ideas are...absurd!"

Zhang Bairen: “?”

Zhen Yuanzi: “?”

Good, good, good!

Instead of being a peacemaker, you're starting to attack indiscriminately, right?

"Then what do you think we should do in Fengdu?" Zhang Bairen was not annoyed. Or maybe he was an old monster who had known Zhen Yuanzi for so many years, so how could he not see the flaws in his plan?

It’s just... I’m helpless!

Taichu is about to revive, but the Three Realms are in ruins. What can we do?

“So I said, one year!”

Yu Chen stretched out a finger and said, "One year later, we will go on an expedition to the outer realm and destroy the ancient immortals! And within one year, I will transform the three realms of heaven, earth and man into a gigantic... war machine! Surpassing the past, surpassing everything, surpassing any civilization that has ever existed in this world!"

Zhen Yuanzi and Zhang Bairen looked at each other.

“…”

Otherwise you should continue to be the peacemaker or fire the cannon!

It's better than exaggerating!

"Impossible, Fengdu..." Zhen Yuanzi shook his head bitterly.

“Yes, even if we want to restore the heaven to its heyday, it will probably take hundreds of years, not to mention... taking a further step.” Zhang Bairen also spoke.

"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that everyone can't do it." Yu Chen looked at them.

"You mean... you can?"

"Of course I can't either." Yu Chen shook his head, "But...someone can!"

"who?"

"Those lonely ghosts between existence and non-existence, those remnants of those who have failed in their rebellion, those undead spirits who regard Taichu as the enemy who killed his father and mother and the most powerful evil... They can do it!"

Yu Chen's voice was firm and resolute.

Zhang Bairen and Zhen Yuanzi were not stupid at all, they understood it immediately!

I immediately thought of the strongest people that Yu Chen mentioned. Although they have lost their power and status, their memories still exist!

Memory is a strange thing.

The memories of mortals are trivial and useless.

But what about the strongest ones?

But there are extremely precious things in their memories!

Their ways, their laws, their paths!

And there are also the achievements, skills and means of reaching the pinnacle of the civilization they once belonged to!

It is the crystallization of countless years, and it is the truth practiced through the blood and sweat of generations!

"They...are willing?"

"Why not?" Yu Chen asked, "Now they have lost everything, their relatives, friends, loved ones, the world they protected, and even their own lives and strength, all of which have been reduced to ashes with each reincarnation!

Only hatred, the hatred for Taichu, the determination and obsession to end the painful cycle, makes them still exist!

Therefore, I exist. And because of this, if they are given a chance to destroy Taichu and end the reincarnation of the world, they will definitely... do it at all costs! Not to mention these material possessions, even if it means that they themselves will perish forever, I am afraid they will not hesitate at all!

So, my decision was to go on a full expedition with their help!

——It’s time to let those bastards know that standing still can change the offense and defense!”

After these words, Zhang Bairen and Zhen Yuanzi's eyes flashed with divine light!

It's like the bright and scorching sun hanging high in the sky!

"Then what are you waiting for? Fengdu!" Zhang Bairen took a deep breath.

"Don't worry, before that, they have another condition."

Yu Chen held up a finger again: "——The three realms are unified. Only when the three realms are unified and as one, will they pass down the crystallization and treasures of those destroyed civilizations. This is their only request!"

Zhang Bairen and Zhen Yuanzi looked at each other. It was obvious that the situation of division among the three realms had made them never think about the so-called "unification".

"I know what you want to say." Yu Chen looked at the two of them and said, "Although there is no grudge between the three of us, it is harmless to have some arguments and confrontations on a daily basis.

But what about in a war where the survival of the entire world depends on it? What about in an expedition where the situation is about to break out?

If we continue to argue endlessly like we did today and delay the battle, would you two like to see that happen?"

After hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi and Zhang Bairen frowned.

Obviously, they also agreed with Yu Chen's statement - after all, this was not a small fight, but a full-scale expedition, a battle for the survival of the three realms!

If an army has to obey three orders, how can they fight?

"I think what Fengdu said makes sense." Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly.

"I think so too. The three realms have been divided for too long. It's time... to have a common leader!" Zhang Bairen murmured.

As the words fell, the majestic and huge palace fell silent.

It was as if the pause button was suddenly pressed and no one spoke anymore.

The atmosphere became tense and frozen.

Because now all the issues have reached a consistent conclusion.

No more disagreements, no more disputes, which is certainly a good thing.

But... the only problem is...

"——Who will be crowned as the co-lord of the three realms?"

After a long silence, Zhang Bairen opened his lips and asked the unavoidable question.

The three realms of heaven, earth and man have always been divided and ruled.

That's because although the three emperors have no hatred against each other, none of them is willing to submit to the other.

Just get by like this.

But it is no longer possible now, because of the full-scale expedition, because we want to exterminate the ancient immortal lineage, so we must choose a real person to take charge.

Needless to say, this candidate will definitely be chosen from among the three of them.

This also means that of the three emperors who are now standing at the top of the Three Realms, after today, one emperor will unify the Three Realms, and the other two emperors will serve as ministers!

How to decide?

That moment.

The entire three realms, the underworld, the mortal world, the heavenly court, and countless living beings seemed to have sensed something.

They raised their heads in confusion, looking up at the sky, towards the place where the thirty-three-layer Daluo Heaven was located.

I felt it personally.

Three distant, terrifying, and heavy auras rose up at the same time and soared into the sky!

The situation is tense and we have to take on the responsibility!

Immediately afterwards, due to the stalemate and confrontation between these three terrifying auras, the entire three realms trembled!
