Chapter 231 Five Tribulations and Five Lotuses
The surroundings seemed safe, but in fact, the flow of time here was very fast, and Chen Zhu had to cover himself with a mysterious authority.
In this way, Chen Zhu can react more promptly and take out the Lianxu from his body.
He was searching. If this was really the Taisu era, then maybe he could find some regrets left over from that era.
The measuring ruler glowed in His hand, and Chen Zhu traveled far away according to his memory, with his speed increasing as he went further away.
He had been to this world before, so naturally he had also been to this place.
There is no distance under the measuring ruler, so Chen Zhu is willing to sacrifice his merits to come to this area.
Here... is a depression.
It's bare and there's nothing there. There should have been a mountain in the depression.
The mountain is the place where the God of Light and the God of Darkness were born. It is a half-real and half-virtual mountain. Unfortunately, it was later cut off and became the Two-Realm Mountain at the edge of the God Realm.
The law of cause and effect has completely disappeared here.
There were also roots of the Green Lotus of Creation hanging down, covering the surroundings and bringing darkness to everything.
Chen Zhu searched here, not missing any corner, and used the leaves of the Green Lotus of Mixed Creation on his body to prevent himself from being swallowed by the roots.
Perhaps because this was the place where the Taisu gods once devoured the innate gods of light and darkness, and after their destruction, they were taken care of by the roots, so this place seems quiet and safe.
Maybe, there is still a chance.
Chen Zhu strolled in this world, trying his best to perceive.
There is Tai Su Mo Qi everywhere, and it has not dried up after such a long time. You can imagine how grand that era was.
Perhaps, it will be as grand as the primitive times today.
The more he searched, the more depressed he felt, knowing that the probability was too small, basically zero.
Chen Zhu wanted to find the God of Light and the God of Darkness. After all, he was called father, so as long as it was safe, he thought he could still try his best.
But this place is completely dead.
Chen Zhu finally returned to the pit in Banjie Mountain and felt the wetness of the soil.
Moist?
Moist!
He stood up suddenly with excitement on his face.
In an era of mass destruction, the existence of soil is something special, and now this soil is still moist.
The presence of moisture means that the principles here have not yet been finalized!
He continued digging and found a river beneath the soil.
The flowing river, with its sweet and clear water, is the last remaining source of life in this era of destruction.
Chen Zhu knew that the river must be waiting for something, something he wanted.
Finally, at the end of the river, he saw a woman crying with her face covered in her hands.
No, maybe... she should be called a goddess.
An endless stream of tears continued to flow and became this river. There was no breath or anything on the goddess' body.
This is the reason why Chen Zhu did not find Him. If he had not insisted on digging deeper, he would not have found this god.
However, the next moment Chen Zhu frowned, because he found that the goddess had no perception of external things and was just crying.
Even though he had walked up to the goddess, he still couldn't get any reaction from her.
There was not much vitality left in the tears that flowed like a river. In a world without supplies, He could only rely on his own Tai Su Qi to survive.
After endless years, Tai Su disappeared and became a thing of the past.
It seems to have become an empty shell.
Zhulong stretched out his hand, touched him lightly, and easily picked him up.
Too light.
It was so light that it seemed to have no mass at all. He subconsciously glanced below where the goddess was staying. There was also a line of words there, but he could no longer make out what was written.
This did not pose a problem for Him. Chen Zhu opened his mouth and used the candlelight to illuminate the writing, and the shadow of the past appeared.
The words gradually spread and became a blessing.
The meaning is as follows:
"I am a humble God of light, willing to sacrifice my principles to Father God. Please look down upon me with mercy and protect my sister."
"I am willing to sacrifice everything I have in exchange for my sister's survival. Father God, please have mercy on me..."
This handwriting should be from the God of Light, that dark-skinned girl.
Then the goddess in his arms who was almost as light as nothing was...
Chen Zhu gently pulled His hand away, and it was indeed like this...
Dark God.
His pale skin was filthy and so different from the Dark God he once was that he was almost unrecognizable.
He was the last surviving god besides Huang Hun in the Tai Su era. He exchanged everything of the God of Light for the Father God's mercy and waited for Chen Zhu.
This made Chen Zhu feel distressed. Such a long and endless wait. The God of Light didn't know what a terrible torture it was for the God of Darkness.
Hasn’t the three breaths time arrived yet?
He pulled the measuring ruler and wondered if the Rain God would forget about him.
He tried to convert the time and discovered a shocking fact!
I calculated it wrong before! Three breaths are not thirty thousand years, but three kalpas!
"Grass!"
Three kalpas, this broken place has no principles at all, is it possible that I have lived here in vain?
Then, Chen Zhu tied the Dark God to the measuring ruler with the Green Lotus Leaf of Creation, and this body transferred all the innate Qi to the Dark God.
The gods of the Tai Su era were incompatible with the innate Qi and required a process of transformation. Chen Zhu also saw how quickly the Tai Su Qi changed under the innate Qi.
This is the change in the world that gives him many different insights.
There have been some subtle changes in the ruins.
Soon, the measuring ruler changed, and another person named Chen Zhu walked over from the Imperial Court.
"Hey, good morning."
Chen Zhu smiled at the Rain God, who had already walked towards him for three breaths.
The Rain God was not surprised. He sensed the laws of his body and pulled the Dark God out with a simple tug.
"Hey, the Dark God is still alive?"
He then exclaimed: "This..."
"What is this? Let's go, go back."
Chen Zhu achieved his goal and was about to return to the Imperial Court with the Dark God.
It's still not safe outside. The Green Lotus Leaf Quilt is not an innate spiritual treasure yet, so there's a risk of losing it.
"Yes, yes, let's hurry back to the Imperial Court."
The Cocoon God also thought so. The water in the Green Lotus Pond was too dangerous, especially since a lotus leaf was missing.
If something came out from the gap, it would definitely be a terrible disaster. The measuring ruler just went down from that gap.
"You go first, I'll go last."
Chen Zhu urged them out of the cave, then walked back and landed on the lotus.
With a gentle lift of the hand, the flower bud was lifted up immediately, and the Taisu era in the entire pool of water went crazy again, and countless mass-destroying monsters madly pounced on the surface of the pool.
Chen Zhu could see clearly that countless creatures at the master level appeared in an instant, and some of them were strong enough to kill the innate gods alone.
If it came to the ancient times, it would be no less than an unknown monster.
However, not long after, as he let go and pressed down on the Green Lotus Bud of Creation, the great era began to end, and the Tai Su era declined again.
Fortunately, it’s still mine.
After verification, he returned to the Imperial Court with a sense of relief.
The main thing is to get the things back, it’s not safe outside.
In the Three Caves, the Cocoon God landed beside Chen Zhu and looked at him carefully.
"Are you... serious?"
“The real deal!”
Chen Zhu said seriously: Do you see anything different about me?
"I don't think you look like me at all."
The Cocoon God finished speaking and hid in him again.
If Taohou were here at this moment, he would definitely be able to talk to Him in common.
"What do you plan to do with this Dark God?"
The Rain God asked Chen Zhu, the weight of the Dark God in his hand was increasing, perhaps it was a change in the Tao, but He was still crying.
However, the present primitive age is not the Taisu era, nor is it the era of mass destruction. Tears are just tears and cannot form rivers.
He continued to adapt to the heaven and earth, and the dark laws that had been shattered into insignificant pieces barely managed to protect his body.
He thought to himself, there are too many broken pieces.
He had already been broken up too much by the God of Karma, and then he was barely alive. If the God of Light had not begged for mercy from the Father God at the cost of everything he had, he would have died long ago.
"Wake up."
Chen Zhu sighed and called out to Him softly, "Do you feel it? It is dusk now, and the God of Light is embracing you."
Light……
The Dark God finally responded, opened his eyes and looked around.
There is so much light, there is light everywhere.
This made Him almost think that the God of Light was still there.
"Where are you?"
His hands were spread across His cheeks, and there were many deep tear marks on His fair face.
But his eyes were empty.
Crying till blind.
The Dark God reached out his hands and groped around, then crawled on the ground.
"Guang, are you here? I sense that you are here."
There is a sunset on the ground.
He didn't find it, so he turned around and groped on the wall: "Light, are you here?"
There was no trace of the God of Light on the wall either, so He went to the fields, the trees, and the streams. The dignified God was covered in dirt, but He could not find the God of Light anywhere. "My beloved sister, where are you?"
The Dark God cried, "I know you are all around, nearby, why are you hiding from me?"
"Light cannot be touched." Chen Zhu sighed and said to Him:
"He is dead, and the Taisu era is gone. You may be able to look at this world in a new light."
"died?"
The Dark God suddenly stopped moving, as if he had lost all hope of survival.
He loved His sister deeply.
The God of Light regards the God of Darkness as his everything, and the same is true for the God of Darkness.
"died……"
His voice became smaller and smaller, and weaker and weaker, and finally all the transformed innate energy in his body dissipated like a landslide.
The gods of Taisu cannot survive in the era after Taiji.
He needs to transform himself, but the Dark God has lost the ability to transform himself.
Chen Zhu's heart sank. Just because of this sentence, he thought to himself that power had returned to Heaven and that He had actually become a Taoist.
Just one sentence? His willpower is too weak. If I were to teach him, he would not collapse so easily.
At this moment, Chen Zhu looked up at the sunset, and saw the tuberose flowers closing.
The sunflowers face westward, swaying slightly in the wind, as if seeing off the dark god.
In the sunset, light falls, darkness follows, light and shadow accompany each other.
"Ugh……"
Chen Zhu sighed, perhaps only this would be a relief for Him.
There is not only light in the eyes of God the Father, but also so many other things that are extremely complicated.
Zhulong stood up and patted his clothes.
"Where are you going?" The Cocoon God asked him cautiously, "Are you a fake body?"
He looked at the Rain God in reproach, blaming this previous god for corrupting the customs of the ancient world!
"I really mean it."
Chen Zhu affirmed again, then opened the door and walked in.
Lianxu is an empty road, and the empty road can lead to the tomb road.
We finally pulled God out, but in the end he was scattered?
Chen Zhu didn't agree!
So he planned to find the tomb of the Dark God.
All the innate gods who died now will appear in the tomb passage.
Because the authority and laws of the innate gods resonate between heaven and earth, and the tomb passage is the laws of the ancient heaven and earth, it naturally records the traces left by these laws.
Chen Zhu has walked from the refining ruins to the tomb passage. There is nothing here, and countless tombstones stand there.
Some of these are innate gods who are now dead, or prehistoric creatures recorded in the Tao.
Yes, they are the Dao principles that the Tomb God has painstakingly collected over countless kalpas, and they are all here.
First find the secret passage, then find the rules. Chen Zhu is already very familiar with this.
At the same time, He also wanted to see if there was the tomb of the God of Light here.
But just as he found the tombstone and was about to walk to the Dark God's tomb, he couldn't help but stop.
……
……
In front of the Dark God, there was a figure in a white robe quietly looking at the tombstone.
Humanoid!
"I never thought that the Dark God could emerge from the prehistoric world."
The figure behind him spoke softly, and his speed was much faster than Chen Zhu's.
It seemed that He came here as soon as the Dark God died.
"White robe?"
Chen Zhu couldn't help but say: "Great God Hongjun!"
"it's me."
Hongjun looked at the Dark God's tombstone and said, "I came here according to cause and effect. There is a cause and effect between Him and me."
This great god gave Chen Zhu a very gentle feeling, and seemed to have no ulterior motives.
It must be an illusion!
"Didn't you say that this calamity could not be resolved?"
He asked subconsciously, and his heart skipped a beat. Would he be beaten to death?
Fortunately, it was not the real body that came, but I don’t know whether the cocoon god can survive.
"I'm not participating in the fight. Just because I don't go out doesn't mean I can't go around and have a look, right?"
The great god Hongjun said with a smile:
"The Dark God and I will have a master-disciple relationship in the future. I have confirmed this with the God of Shortcuts."
God of shortcuts!
Chen Zhu heard this name again. This was the innate god that Taoist Taiping told him not to even look at. Surprisingly, he was also one of the great gods.
He frowned: "That's not right, I was the one who brought Him out!"
The Dark God was the first innate god conceived in the Tai Su era. It was impossible that he was snatched away by the great god Hongjun in just a few words, right?
You must know that once He is reincarnated, He will be able to recover all His understanding of the secret ways, and basically reach the threshold of a great god.
And as long as he is given one more authority, he will immediately possess the combat power of a god!
In the current infinite calamity, Chen Zhu really needs such combat power!
"I'm talking about the future, not now."
The great god Hongjun said to Chen Zhu with a smile:
"I dare not offend you in offering sacrifices to the gods. What if I die one day and ask for your help?"
He said to Chen Zhu: "I came here this time in accordance with the law of the God of Shortcuts. I want to give you an opportunity."
"Oh?"
Chen Zhu suddenly became suspicious, and his alarm bells rang. How could there be no good for no reason? But he found that the great god Hongjun in front of him had disappeared.
The next moment, an old man in a white robe appeared in the Sanku Cave in the Dragon Court and knocked on the door of the hollow willow tree.
"Dong dong dong."
Inside the tree hole, Chen Zhu jumped suddenly: "Who!"
He wrapped the quilt tightly around him and looked out through the gap in the cave.
"God, we just met, you wouldn't have forgotten me, the Taoist priest, right?"
The great god Hongjun has already walked to his door!!!
Chen Zhu boldly opened the tree hole with shaking hands. His hands were shaking as he poured the tea.
The one in front of you is the future Heavenly Dao!
He wasn't nervous when he met his fake body, but now he is his real body!
He suddenly became timid and kept winking at the Rain God next to him, asking him to come closer, as he felt insecure!
The Rain God didn't see it because he was pressing down the Taiyuan Spirit Turtle on the ground at that time.
As soon as the great god Hongjun appeared, the turtle jumped out from the mud in the distance, exploded, and then danced its limbs like crazy and ran towards the great god Hongjun!
That eager look made Chen Zhu feel deeply saddened as if he had been seduced and then abandoned!
"Your flattery has already burst out of your shell!"
He glared at her fiercely: "If you dare to come any closer, I will drink turtle soup today!"
The Taiyuan Spirit Turtle froze for a moment... then He began to move towards this side little by little, in small steps.
What a damn behavior!
Hongjun watched everything that happened in just a short while, and appreciated it. It seemed that Zhulong was timid, but these minor details revealed that he was pretending.
And who knows, you might even start to believe it yourself.
"This tea is good."
Hongjun smiled and said, "I liked it when I drank with Yu Shen before, I didn't expect you still have it here."
He laughed and took something out of his sleeve while chewing tea leaves.
As for the immortal golden essence on the Taiyuan Spirit Turtle, he didn't even look at it.
This attitude makes it clear, very clear, that He has no shortage of treasures.
Judging from the situation, could it be that the great god Hongjun is a good friend of the god of shortcuts?
Chen Zhu widened his eyes and looked at what the other party took out.
It was a drop of extremely special blood, in the form of a ruby!
"This is……"
Chen Zhu frowned, because he sensed something extremely special in the blood, suspected to be the law of chaos, gods and demons.
Hongjun confirmed Chen Zhu's idea and said calmly:
"This is the blood of the Chaos Demon God."
Just a few simple words made Chen Zhu so scared that he almost jumped up!
"What the hell? I can't afford this opportunity, sir!"
The essence and blood of chaotic gods and demons, what a concept!
The laws of nature within the remains of gods and demons are all shattered, and no essence or blood appears.
If this thing still has some will left inside it, it actually represents a chaotic god or demon!
"I want to make a deal with you."
Hongjun casually pushed the blood essence forward:
"Fellow Daoist Taiping and I have known each other for a while. I came here to repay him a favor."
Taiping Laodao's network of connections is truly powerful, and it can still be useful even after his death.
Chen Zhu did not accept it, but waited for the next words from the great god Hongjun.
"You have also seen that the Dark God is the only normal innate god who survived the Taisu era. The Taisu era has a deep causal relationship with Him."
Great God Hongjun chewed another piece of tea, savored the aftertaste and continued:
"Everything has a cause and an effect. The disaster of the Taisu era needs to be solved by the Taisu era. If Honghuang can win this time, then the Taisu era will most likely be ended by the Dark God."
He had only one goal: "Please come with me to lead the Dark God back. I will use the blood of the Chaos Gods and Demons as a betrothal gift to take the Dark God as my apprentice and end this cause and effect."
Chen Zhu quickly guessed the other party's plan.
"You mean, you hide behind and do nothing, and use this drop of Chaos God and Demon Blood to take the credit for my work?"
His tone began to sharpen:
"This calamity brings about merit. When the infinite calamity ends, the Dark God who ends the Dusk God will definitely have great merit. And you will take at least half of it?"
In other words, after taking this drop of blood of the Chaos God and Demon, Chen Zhu can no longer gain merit, and the cause and effect have been offset.
“I’m a risk.”
Hongjun smiled and said to him: "After all, Honghuang may not win. Moreover, even if he wins, the Dark God may not really be able to kill the Dusk God. No one can guarantee whether there are other innate gods who survived the Taisu era."
"Then what do you think of me?" Chen Zhu shook his scales, making a rustling sound.
