After a sigh, the World Will replied, "My energy is very limited. Every time I wake up, I consume a huge amount of energy. Now there is not much left. Every bit is extremely precious to me. After guiding you to unlock Jin Yao's seal last time, I have been sleeping. I will only wake up for a moment to guide you when you are in danger. This time, you used my instinct to protect Queen Mother Xi to fully awaken me. I am afraid that I... Alas... I wanted to use this last chance to witness the final outcome with my own eyes."
"Then let's make it short." Although he spoke in a serious tone, Jiang Lu didn't care: "Who are you, what is your purpose, and why do you want to be hostile to Yuanshi Tianzun?"
"Yes, your speculation is correct. I am indeed not the will of the world. To be precise, I am not the complete will of the world. I am only a part of it."
The World Will paused:
"But you are wrong about one thing. I am not hostile to him. I am just correcting his mistakes."
"Why do you think they are wrong? Isn't this a form of denial and hostility?"
Upon hearing this, the World Will was silent for a long time.
"because..."
It is authentic word for word:
"I am Yuanshi Tianzun."
"Ah?!" Everyone was stunned.
"If what you said is true." Jiang Lu said with difficulty: "So...in fact, your daughter and niece were also taken away by me..."
"I don't want to tell you this..."
Jiang Lu stopped talking about this matter and asked, "You are Yuanshi Tianzun, who is that person outside?"
"It's me outside too."
The World Will, or Yuanshi Tianzun, said with some sadness:
"In the past, I destroyed the Three Pure Worlds with my own hands, so now, I want to change everything..."
Chapter 376 It is reincarnation, but it is not reincarnation
"No...no no no...this is impossible!"
Jiang Lu immediately refuted it with an unacceptable tone.
The self-proclaimed future Yuanshi Tianzun sighed: "At our level, we should understand that it is not impossible for the same person to come to the same plane from different time points, right?"
"No, that's not what I said."
Jiang Lu clenched his fists and blushed:
"But your voice is clearly a girl's!! You are a fraud!!"
"That's another thing I have to explain."
The future Yuanshi Tianzun said:
"Because I am not the complete me. I am just a consciousness that was separated from my past self after I destroyed the Three Pure Worlds. I was able to survive by borrowing the part of the world's will that came from my mother."
"So... the voice now belongs to your mother?"
"Yes."
Jiang Lu suddenly realized: "Auntie's voice is really beautiful, especially when she was scolding and insulting me just now. Auntie must be very beautiful too, right?"
"...Don't go too far."
"Sorry, I couldn't help it." Jiang Lu then asked, "Then what does your mother's part mean? Isn't the world will an independent consciousness?"
"It is independent, but it was born from the foundation of creation mixed with my parents, and has the characteristics of both of them. Generally speaking, they are inseparable."
"Under normal circumstances?"
"As long as the Three Pure Realms are not destroyed, everything will be normal."
"I understand."
Jiang Lu understood the whole story.
Probably, the Yuanshi Tianzun in the past successfully opened the "door" and happily sent away the Three Pure Worlds, but he himself did not die for some reason and luckily retained a trace of consciousness. With the help of the world will of the Three Pure Worlds, which was also not completely destroyed, he resurrected and returned to the past, wanting to stop his former self.
From beginning to end, he did it all by himself.
Jiang Lu’s evaluation was: Damn Class A war criminal!
"I can't comment." Jiang Lu scratched his head: "Isn't this just looking for trouble?"
"I know, I know I made a big mistake..."
The voice of Future Yuanshi Tianzun trembled a little, as if he recalled something terrible:
"I never imagined that it was such a terrifying existence... If I were given another chance, I would never open that 'door' again, so I must stop myself this time, for sure!"
This surprised Jiang Lu a little.
How could such a powerful Yuanshi Tianzun become like this?
Where is your pride?
What about your confidence?
What about your “I just become the same existence as them”?
The contrast between the self-centered Yuanshi Tianzun who planned every step and was always one step ahead in response no matter what they did, and the current Yuanshi Tianzun who reveals cowardice and regret in his words and deeds is really too great.
You have to stand up straight... Jiang Lu almost couldn't help but want to encourage him.
It is hard to imagine what kind of blow this person has gone through and how much psychological trauma he has suffered to become what he is now.
Jiang Lu was very curious.
"What on earth have you been through?"
"You mean after you open the 'door'?"
"Yes."
"I do not know."
"I don't know?" Jiang Lu didn't believe it: "I already accepted it when you said you were defeated in the first place, and you said you didn't know?"
"Yes, I know nothing."
The future Yuanshi Tianzun smiled bitterly:
"I opened the 'door', but before I could see the owner of the Forbidden Land, I lost all my magical power and automatically disintegrated. When I looked back, the Three Pure Lands were gone.
Fortunately, the will of the world connected to my blood comes from my parents, and they seem to have left some kind of restrictions on it before leaving. The master of the forbidden land cannot destroy it instantly, so I have the opportunity to use it to return to the present.
But even if it is not completely destroyed, I and the part of the world will that originated from my mother have been severely damaged, so I can only survive in this state, and my strength is reduced by one point as I use it. "
At this moment, Hong Yi finally couldn't help but ask: "Then...what about us in the past?"
"Of course it is...disappeared."
Future Yuanshi Tianzun answered with some difficulty, paused, and then said angrily:
"And Taiyi, clean yourself up and put on your clothes before you talk to me!"
"Uh..." Hong Yi was stunned, only to find that he was naked and covered in syrup.
Before, I thought it was the will of the world, a being without human nature, so I didn't take it too seriously. But now I know that it was Yuanshi Tianzun, who used to be my master and disciple, and who had a father-daughter relationship with me before the Battle of the Gods. The situation is different now.
She quickly cast a spell to clean her body, changed into a set of clean clothes, and pretended calmly that nothing had happened.
Turning around again, Xuannv and Lu Qing had also finished cleaning up, leaving only Jiang Lu still with the character "Bian".
"Why are you looking at me?" Jiang Lu said confidently, "I can't use magic. Besides, we are all men. Why should I be afraid of being seen by him?"
So the three of them lowered their heads and said no more.
Perhaps in order to ease the embarrassment, the future Yuanshi Tianzun changed the subject and took the initiative to talk about his mental journey after that.
“That was a very difficult time for me, and to this day, I still can’t understand why, even if there is a gap, the gap is so huge?
I also can’t understand why I went to a wider world, but before I could show my talents, I was crushed to death like an ant…”
"Well, it's actually not that bad." Jiang Lu consoled, "I heard that there was a guy named Xiao Yan who ascended to the Great Thousand World, and his wife was almost harmed by someone. It was like this when we just changed the map."
"I feel better when you put it that way. So what happened to Xiao Yan in the end? Did he become depressed after losing his wife?"
"Who said my wife is gone?"
Jiang Lu explained:
“Although this is not written in the original novel, you can also assume that his wife had been treated in this way or that way, but in the end she was indeed rescued.
In addition, he created the Endless Fire Realm, achieved the Domination Realm, and finally stood at the pinnacle of the universe, and lived a shameless life with his wife. "
"..."
"From this perspective, you seem to be no match for him." Jiang Lu thought for a moment and said, "You are indeed more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything."
"..."
"Jiang Lu..." Hong Yi tugged at his sleeve and found that he was not wearing any clothes, so she had to tug at his straight neck, signaling him to speak less.
"Anyway, I later understood that no matter my sister or Taiyi, they were both right. My obsession, my arrogance, and my pride were all wrong. They were extremely wrong."
The future Yuanshi Tianzun took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"Taiyi...it's my fault. It's my fault that I harmed you..."
Hearing this, Hong Yi's heart couldn't help but feel a little disturbed.
Even though she had long hated Yuanshi Tianzun who had ruined her life, after all, they once had such a deep friendship. How could there not be ripples when she heard the belated apology?
Hong Yi said with emotion: "At least I can hear you say this in person, I feel better now."
"Have you forgiven me?" The future Yuanshi Tianzun asked with some hope.
"No." Hong Yi shook his head.
One thing is one thing. Hong Yi is not a saint. It is impossible for her to let go of everything so easily.
All I can say is that after so many years, she has just accepted it, but that doesn’t mean she has forgiven it.
The apology from Future Yuanshi Tianzun could not change anything except making her mood more complicated.
"That's right." The voice of the future Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly became older.
However, Xuannv did not have such a deep prejudice against him, so she could still maintain a relatively objective stance.
