The fairy father

The old man Wanri clenched his fist slightly.

Instead, he became expressionless at this moment, with no sign of anger, and seemed not to care about the figures walking away from him.

The figures behind Li Pingan and the Faceless Man gradually increased;

The number of people behind the old man has decreased by about 40%.

In the sea of ​​chaos, the giant chaos beasts seemed to have divided into camps and began to confront each other.

Li Ping looked at this situation quietly, with a little helplessness in his eyes. He was dressed in white clothes like snow, surrounded by green lotuses.

"Teacher," Li Ping'an said, "I think everyone still respects you. Why don't we each take a step back... to lead everyone to a better world? Isn't that right?"

The old man said nothing, and the gaps in his body continued to shine brightly.

Li Ping'an continued: "Are you really just driven by obsession, to complete your obsession in order to complete your obsession? I don't believe that I have been with the teacher for hundreds of years, although this period of time is very important to the teacher. It’s nothing, but it’s been a long time for me and I can appreciate your concern for me.”

Wanri sighed and looked down at his palm.

Li Ping'an didn't say much.

When——

The Chaos Bell landed in front of Old Man Wanri with its melodious sound, and the bell spirit appeared with a faint fairy light.

She looked at Li Ping'an with a bit of a wry smile in her eyes:

"Can you tell me what happened? Why... and you, how did you become a taoist?"

Li Pingan glanced at the faceless man, and was not afraid of what would happen if he said this in front of all the immortals. He just said: "To be specific, I haven't fully realized it yet. The core problem is that there can only be one between me and heaven and earth, and then It suddenly occurred to me that I could become one with heaven and earth..."

Zhong Ling said in confusion: "But this world is flawed, and it will come to an end. Isn't this, isn't this suicide of yours?"

"maybe."

Li Pingan smiled calmly:

“When I found out the truth, I didn’t know how to face it.

"At least the problem is solved now, isn't it?"

Zhong Ling didn't know what to say for a moment: "But, he has done so much for you."

"I didn't deny it, I didn't refuse it, I even admitted everything because I was considerate of him."

Li Ping'an's eyes were a little more helpless:

"I just want to solve the problem now. Although four hundred and twenty-nine worlds have passed away, this time, I at least want to stop it.

“Because I’m here, I’m here.

"I'm going to do what I think is right."

"But!"

"Okay," Wan Ri closed his eyes and sighed, his pupils seemed to have lost all light in an instant, "In the end, I just worked in vain."

"No, teacher," Li Ping'an shrugged, "Maybe you can think about how to pull me and the world out of the final catastrophe... Don't you want to save me?"

Wanri's expression was suddenly speechless.

Sanqing, who had recovered as before, slowly rose behind Li Ping'an.

The leader of Tongtian looked at Li Ping'an and the faceless man with a confused expression. Yuanshi Tianzun showed a little more admiration in his eyes, but Taiqing showed no emotion at all.

The old man came riding a bull, bowed to the old man, then shook off the dust and said slowly:

"Transcendent Spirit, today's situation no longer requires a big fight.

"If a war breaks out, both sides will suffer, and neither the world that fellow Taoists want to open up nor the world that we want to open up can truly be born.

"Now, it is a critical moment in the visible world. It is better for each side to take a half step back and achieve success."

Wanri shook his head, his figure was wrapped in a cloud of mist, and returned to his usual appearance.

He just looked at Li Pingan and asked calmly: "Is this what you want?"

"That's what I want."

"That's good, that's good," the old man Wangri showed a satisfied smile, "In that case, I have finished what I should do. After you join the Tao, you will become a part of the world, and you will be free from my cause and effect. out."

Li Ping'an thought for a moment and called softly: "Father?"

The universe is peaceful and quiet.

The surrounding area becomes audible.

Old Man Wanri smiled, just smiling with his eyes closed, he said:

"I'm about to collapse myself, and I can't do much more for you. Since you have chosen this path, I don't have to force you any more... I will wait for you at the end of the Chaos Sea, waiting for you to open up a new path. In this world, I will try my best to live longer, so that if someone wants to plot against you, I can help you destroy them.

"After I die, you will have full control over this sarcophagus and the remains of the world, and so will the Chaos Clock.

"I'm definitely tired.

"Actually, I want a grand ending, a sublime battle, and a happy ending... Unfortunately, my story can only end peacefully, because I have to keep all the energy to explore.

"The starry sky... the starry sky is pretty good..."

The old man's left hand was slightly open.

Almost instantly, one-third of the figures in the small world collapsed.

Wisps of dust flew back around Wanri's body and then disappeared.

Wangri's aura slowly rose, and even... his strength was three points higher than what he had been able to suppress Pangu God before.

Wanri looked around, his eyes filled with coldness.

He said: "I will let this world go for now, not because I can't beat you or I'm worried about the damage of the origin of the world. I can complete a few more reincarnations to make up for the current shortcomings. I let you go... just because he made such a choice, don't let him down."

After saying that, Wangri flicked his sleeves, and his figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared in the bronze mirror.

Zhayun Taoist smiled and bowed to Li Pingan, then turned around and left with the bronze mirror. Those who followed Wangri, whether they supported Pangu or Wangri before, chose to follow Wangri at this moment.

They didn't seem to be afraid of being cleansed by Wangri.

The world quickly became quiet.

Li Pingan didn't know why, but his heart was empty, and he stood there for a long time without coming back to his senses.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" Laojun called out beside him.

"Well," Li Pingan perked up, and wanted to smile, but it turned out to be a bitter smile, "Laojun, what's wrong?"

"Your Majesty," Laojun bowed his head and made a salute, "to protect the heaven and earth and to unite the Dao is a blessing for all living beings."

The immortals and gods below all saluted.

"Your Majesty," Yao Chi looked at Li Pingan with complicated eyes, and whispered, "You should discuss it with us... At least... It's better to tell us in advance..."

"Am I any different from before?"

Li Pingan spread his hands:

"Uniting the Dao is not to completely become the Heavenly Dao, but just to bind myself to the Heavenly Dao, and my body is still there.

"The only thing that was cut off was the opportunity to transcend. If the heaven and earth are gone, I will be gone... But that is already a very distant thing. Now, he will not interfere with this world, and we can promote the four plans I made. "

While Li Pingan was speaking, he looked at Qingsu below.

Qingsu smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.

Li Pingan secretly regretted that Ningning was not here, otherwise all the relationships he had in this life would have been gathered together.

He smiled and said, "Why are you all so sad? Oh, yes, many people have disappeared. "

Li Ping'an looked down.

On the side of the Chan Sect, three of the Twelve Golden Immortals were missing, Juliusun, Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun, and Samantabhadra Zhenren.

What surprised Li Ping'an was that Vice Sect Leader Ran Deng and Taoist Cihang were still there.

They were not chess pieces made by Old Man Wangri using a tiny part of himself.

On the Jie Sect side, thirty-seven or eight people were missing.

This made Tongtian Sect Leader's expression extremely complicated.

Really, Tongtian Sect Leader never dreamed that such a large part of the disciples he got from fighting and preaching in ancient times were chess pieces planted by Old Man Wangri.

Yuanshi Tianzun, who was standing aside, looked at Tongtian Sect Leader with a smile, and that expression seemed to be blaming, and also seemed to be showing off.

Showing off his foresight and the rule that Chan Sect's teachings are not easily passed on.

Li Ping'an stretched and said with a smile: "Everyone continue to observe here, and later, please ask the master to continue to protect this place. We have only resolved the pressure from the transcendents, and the true end of heaven and earth has not been effectively resolved. "

Tongtian asked: "Where will your majesty go later? Why not go to the Biyou Palace to play for a while. "

"There are still many things to do," Li Pingan shook his head solemnly, "I don't want to bear any pressure, but so many worlds and countless lives have passed away, and the overall price paid is already incomparably huge. That sea of ​​stars must be opened up. "

All the immortals and gods showed solemn expressions.

Li Pingan opened his left hand, and the Chaos Bell turned into the size of a fist and slowly fell down.

He said: "From today on, I will be in charge of the Chaos Bell and practice in the Sea of ​​Dao. There are only four saints left in the world, but the foundation of the world cannot be shaken. "

Laojun said: "Taiqing said that a Taoist conference will be held in the nine heavens a hundred years later, and the catastrophe of the Conferred God Catastrophe should be here. "

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slowly and took the initiative to express his position: "I, a disciple of the Chan Sect, can be included in the Conferred God List. "

Tongtian Jiaozhu said slowly: "I, a disciple of the Jie Sect, can also be included in the list in the flesh. "

The disciples of Chan and Jie looked at Li Pingan and said nothing.

Compared to Li Pingan's merging with the Dao before the end of the world, why can't they enter the heaven?

"Alas," Nuwa sighed, "I never thought that the transcendent would..."

"Holy Mother," Li Pingan said with a smile, "I will visit the Holy Mother Palace later. Although the matter of the Conferred God List does not need to be bound to Nanzhou, the affairs of Nanzhou still need to be promoted."

Nuwa asked: "How will you promote it?"

"My original intention was not to interfere, but I am already in Nanzhou."

Li Pingan said seriously:

"There are actually only three major events in the world that I really care about.

"One is the end of the world, and this matter has turned around.

"The second is the power of transcendence, and this matter has been basically resolved.

"Third, the matter of the Nanzhou human sacrifice has not been completely settled yet, so we should continue to work on it."

Nuwa nodded slowly, and then said: "It's rare that you don't change your original intention. Then I will wait for you to find me in the Holy Mother Palace."

After that, Nuwa bowed to Li Ping'an, turned around and disappeared into rainbow light.

Her departure set an example for the immortals and gods. The Three Pure Ones said goodbye one after another, and took away all the masters, sealing this world again.

This place is the top priority of the future world.

Li Ping'an looked at the mess everywhere and the confused Donghuang Taiyi, and couldn't help laughing: "Let's drink, substitute."

The corners of Donghuang Taiyi's mouth twitched wildly.

...

An hour later.

In the empty palace hall of Chaoge City.

Li Ping'an put down the wine bottle, and without using Ji Dan's clone, he sat in a daze and stared at the white clouds outside the door.

Donghuang Taiyi burped and wondered, "How did you find out?"

"What did you find?"

"That's right, you can solve everything by joining forces," Donghuang Taiyi couldn't help but mutter, "I thought the two sides had to start a war."

"There are many ways to solve problems, and we can look for the route that leads to the greatest victory with the least sacrifice."

Li Ping'an curled his lips slightly:

"Do you think I want to be in harmony with the Tao? From now on, I will live and die with the world. I will find a way to extend the life of the world, which is to extend the life of me.

“I’ve hesitated before.

"Originally, I don't owe the world anything. I've done enough. What does it have to do with me whether the world is destroyed or not? But I know that my father has done so much for me. I feel so stressed... Just got up.

"At that time, I felt like, look here, it's about to explode."

Li Pingan pointed to his head.

Donghuang Taiyi smiled naively: "Aren't you going on? What you said before is right. If the father thinks it is good, the son will think it is good. This world is not the heir of the father. Although the father created it, he did not The qualification to determine the fate of heaven and earth.”

"No, no, no, this is just from our perspective as a living being. The answers to this question obtained from different perspectives are different."

Li Pingan shrugged:

"From the beginning to the end, there is not much justice here, only positions, in other words, the justice of each position.

"I still say that the most important thing is to abide by one's own principles. For example, one of my principles is that only actions that do not infringe on the rights of others have the most basic justice."

"I don't understand," Donghuang Taiyi smiled comfortably, "I don't even bother to understand. How do you want to arrange it for me?"

Li Ping'an said: "I will use the Chaos Clock to go back later and let you escape from this place. In exchange for your original Zi Shou, you can go to the Heavenly Court and the Human Realm to reunite with Zhichu, and then you can rebuild your life by yourself."

Donghuang Taiyi smiled and said: "I will obey Dao Ancestor's orders unconditionally."

"I'm not a Taoist ancestor," Li Ping'an said with a bitter expression, "I'm just a little person who has everything arranged by my father."

"oh?"

Donghuang Taiyi couldn't help but wonder:

"Didn't you turn the tide of the entire war on your own?

"You made your own sacrifice, you completed your plan...this..."

"That's it," Li Ping'an said, "I don't dare to say this to others. If I say it, I will feel useless, but that's the fact."

"specific?"

Donghuang Taiyi was puzzled.

Li Pingan breathed out softly:

“I can’t describe exactly what this feels like, but my intuition tells me that the path I’m taking now is actually the path arranged for me by my father.

“He understands my character.

"He understands everyone's personality. He generally understands the personality of the main masters in this ancient world.

"Would he not be aware that there was something strange about Pangu? Wouldn't he be aware that the men he trained had gradually identified with Pangu? Would he not be aware that there is no sustainable world?

"He's been lying to me, part of it, and then you look at the consequences now?

"I sacrificed myself and stopped his plan to destroy the world. I have gained the respect of almost all living beings. Although I am his son, no one will mention this matter in the future. When they mention me, they will only say I sacrificed myself for the sake of justice and fought against my father who was a detachment. I am a hero..."

Donghuang Taiyi asked: "But, after you join the Tao, won't you be trapped in the world? Your life will still be in danger next. Since he has been saving you, how could he let you fall into such a possibility?" The danger of being unable to be saved? You have to know that you may die when you open up that sea of ​​stars, and this world may not be able to survive."

Li Ping'an sighed: "After merging with Tiandao, I can already deduce very complex problems... We have all overlooked one thing."

"What?"

"Skeletons."

"Skeletons?"

"Well, another Li Ping'an's skeleton."

Li Ping'an smiled bitterly and said:

"He has been preserving it. I actually still have a chance to leave the world. After the destruction of this world, my soul will be freed.

“I can already predict what will happen in the future.

"Under my leadership, prehistoric civilization has gradually moved towards the 'Mechanical Fairyland'. We drive huge ships in the Sea of ​​Chaos to hunt innate gods and demons and replenish the origin of heaven and earth.

"Civilization is constantly evolving, and there are still tens of thousands of years left to evolve until a truly giant civilization emerges. Then we gather all the remains of the previous world and the original power of the heaven and earth to open up that star sea universe and let living beings enter A new cycle of life begins in the universe.

“In this process, I will gradually become the rule-maker who dominates everything.

"Then there should be another sacrifice scene for me. The old world collapses and I suffer heavy losses. Then, my soul will be picked up by my father who is waiting in suspended animation. His Li Ping'an will be resurrected. I am still me, but I have become He gave birth to his son, his true son, his obsession was satisfied and he was completely liberated.

"That's most likely the case."

"This!" Donghuang Taiyi raised his hand to his forehead, "How do I feel? You are just guessing."

"Just think of it as a guess."

Li Pingan sighed.

He stared at the clouds outside the hall and showed a somewhat peaceful smile:

"Fortunately, he didn't kill my father, the father who came with me."

"By the way, your father is still sleeping?"

"He was drunk," Li Ping'an smiled bitterly. "Actually, he was drunk by the way of heaven. To prevent the avenue of cause and effect from collapsing in the final confrontation and reconciliation, this was probably part of his plan."

Donghuang Taiyi raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

Li Ping'an asked: "When are you going to go to heaven?"

"In a few days, I still have something to do."

"What do you want to do?"

"Place incense at Nuwa Temple!"

Li Ping'an almost kicked him.

at the same time.

Outside Xuandu City, within the secret realm of the Transcendent One.

The reclining old man Wangri slid the bronze mirror in front of him and stared at the figures of Li Ping'an and Donghuang Taiyi chatting and laughing, with a little smile on his lips.

There are longing figures behind him, but most of these figures have dull eyes and dull expressions.

The sarcophagus in his arms was shining with a warm yellow light.

A shallow light and shadow appeared behind the secret realm.

The crisp bell rang, and a young Taoist priest in purple robe slowly appeared, looking at Wan Ri's figure with complicated eyes.

"Fellow."

The young Taoist called out, and his voice instantly aroused Wanri's vigilance.

Wanri suddenly turned his head, and immediately sat up, staring at the young Taoist in front of him who shouldn't be here.

"Fellow Taoist Wuwangzi? When did you come?"

"For some time, I have been watching how you deal with this matter before you started making this final plan,"

Wuwangzi clicked his tongue:

"What I need to remind you is that you have violated the twelve laws and regulations of the transcendent realm. You will need to endure the pain for a long time. You have interfered too deeply with the tangible realm.

"You even made the mysterious boss I mentioned before think that an interesting prehistoric world was born in this visible world. Later, after adjusting the data of your visible world, he found out that you were in Artificial creation of myths makes heaven and earth reincarnate.

“The Space-Time Administration takes protecting the rights and interests of every true spirit as its basic principle.

"I'm actually here to arrest you."

Wanri frowned tightly and smiled bitterly: "Can I resist?"

"Actually, I am also quite interested in the evolution of the Chaos Sea into the Universe Star Sea, and I also want to observe it."

Wuwangzi raised his eyebrows slightly and walked to Wangri's side:

“It’s just that you can’t take action anymore.

"The children have grown up, and it's time for them to walk on their own...the words that the mysterious boss brought to you."

Wanri was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled with relief, his eyes full of emotion.

He asked: "Who is that mysterious boss that fellow Taoists have been talking about?"

"I do not know."

"Fellow Taoist, don't you know?"

"Hmm," Wu Huanzi's expression was a little complicated, "He never reveals his name, so he is not involved in cause and effect. Although he is the deputy director in name, he is the founder of the entire Space-Time Management Bureau. You can really contact him. There are only a small number of employees. He values ​​your ability to build the world and will probably invite you to become a creator later."

Wanri:......

"Pindao is about to collapse."

"Even if you lie to others, I can't kill you even if you don't want to."

Wu Huanzi squinted his eyes and smiled, and took Wan Ri's bronze mirror naturally:

"You still have a lot of sins to pay for slowly. Even if you die, you will be balanced back. Believe it or not.

"Let me see what your precious son is doing..."

In the bronze mirror, the scene of Li Pingan and Mu Ningning kissing slowly emerged.
