"Uncle, I have a question."
"You said."
"Why didn't you tell Jiang Lu this from the beginning? Didn't you meet each other a long time ago?"
Jiang Lu was stunned, then he accused him unreasonably: "Yes, after all you've said, you haven't gotten rid of your bad habit of showing off, right? It's fun to be a riddle teller, right?"
"No, that's not the case. In fact, it's because I didn't have much hope for you at the beginning." The future Yuanshi Tianzun explained.
"I don't understand." Jiang Lu felt strange: "On the one hand, he said that he must stop us this time, and on the other hand, he said that he didn't have much hope for us at the beginning. What's the logic?"
Future Yuanshi Tianzun said helplessly: "Because the people I met, who came to stop me under the guidance of another me, didn't even open the seal of Gaishi Mountain. In the end, I personally opened the seal and created the formation to let my sister and her three corpse spirits merge."
"Another you?" Jiang Lu was stunned: "How many you are there?"
"I do not know either."
The future Yuanshi Tianzun replied:
"But what I can be sure of is that during the time when I was trying to open the 'door', there was also an older me who tried to stop me by guiding outsiders.
I thought it was reincarnation at first, but now I think about it, it seems a little different from reincarnation, because the situation is a little different every time, the only thing that remains unchanged is the ending when I open the "door".
For the guide, the key lies in whether the randomly appearing outsider can do the job.
So when I first met you and didn't know your identity, I thought you were no different from those people I met who couldn't even open the seal, so I naturally didn't tell you these things. Anyway, if you can really make it to the last step, I will appear at that time, and it won't be too late to tell you. "
This fact surprised Jiang Lu a little. He thought he was the first outsider to appear here, but he didn't expect that there were other people here before.
There is no doubt that these people are the exorcists in the real world.
However, due to the problem of level, the qualities of the exorcists who come here are uneven. It is hard to imagine whether there are even worse ones who have not even climbed Mount Gaishi.
And judging from some details about the seal told by Queen Mother of the West, it is very likely, no, it is almost certain, that only Jiang Lu and his group may pass the first level, not to mention the subsequent steps.
If we trace back like this, there may have been many batches before the last batch that Yuanshi Tianzun encountered in the future. Even before the Sanqing Realm became a random spiritual realm, there may have been many exorcists who failed in their attacks.
The future Yuanshi Tianzun said it very well, reincarnation, but it is not reincarnation.
Because the only way to succeed is to defeat Yuanshi Tianzun, but the reasons for failure are numerous and bizarre.
In this way, although Yuanshi Tianzun has become an artificial intelligence in the future, it is understandable that he chooses not to inform the outsider of unknown strength of all the circumstances at the beginning for the sake of face.
It's fine if we can get to the end, but if you can't even get past the first level, do I have to expose all my past to you? That doesn't make sense.
"So according to what you said." Xuannv was a little worried: "Doesn't it mean that no matter how hard we try, the ending will not change?"
"not necessarily."
The future Yuanshi Tianzun said:
"To open the 'door' I must rely on my sister's help, which means that she must grow to a level of strength similar to mine.
Theoretically, her talent is not worse than mine. After reaching the top, she will be able to fight with me. However, I have the help of the world's will, so I can always suppress her.
But even so, with the help of Yuanshi Tianzun who wanted to stop me at the time, she still caused me a lot of trouble. "
At this point, he paused, then said with some resentment: "But this time, I don't think I can help like I did back then."
"Hmm..." Jiang Lu realized something: "In other words, I woke you up in advance, so if we need to fight with the current Yuanshi Tianzun in the end, you won't be able to show up to help us, right?"
"So you can understand why I was so angry just now?"
"Hmm... I guess I understand." Jiang Lu nodded thoughtfully.
But after thinking about it for a while, he felt something was wrong: "But in this case, what is the meaning of the existence of outsiders like me? Anyway, the final result is the same. Even if we are not there, Yuanshi Tianzun will still forcibly unlock the seal and force them to merge."
"No, there is a difference."
The future Yuanshi Tianzun retorted:
"Let me give you an example so you can understand. If you want to practice and are forced to practice by others, can the results be the same?
Although in the end I will find a way to help her achieve the foundation of creation and then help her overcome the true immortal calamity, the meaning of what others give and what you get through your own efforts are completely different, which has a great impact on her strength.
Of course, if you want to open the door, strength doesn’t matter, but if you want to use this strength to change everything, this point is particularly crucial.
With the help of outsiders, although it is still according to my plan, all the processes until she passes the True Immortal Tribulation will be experienced independently, and the gains from it will naturally be a world of difference.
You have all done an excellent job so far.”
"I understand. The difference between rote learning and inspirational education, right?"
"I don't understand the words you said, but it should be."
Jiang Lu bowed slightly.
If that's the case, the role that the exorcist can play is indeed crucial.
The foundation of creation and the true immortal calamity determine the lower limit, but the exorcist can help the Queen Mother of the West increase the upper limit.
Just the lower limit plus the future Yuanshi Tianzun will definitely not be able to defeat the current Yuanshi Tianzun. It is only possible if the upper limit is reached.
"Excuse me, how much of a role can you play in the end?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Lu asked tentatively, wanting to estimate how much damage his tactic of surrounding the enemy and attacking the reinforcements had caused after forcing the future Yuanshi Tianzun out.
“Not much.”
"It's good that it's not too big." Jiang Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
Future Yuanshi Tianzun said dimly: "That is to increase her strength by two or three times."
"hiss!"
"Even if you increase your power two or three times, you still can't beat the current you?" Jiang Lu was shocked: "Isn't the gap too big?"
"Nonsense, the current Yuanshi Tianzun is backed by the entire Sanqing Realm, and I am just a fragment of the past Sanqing Realm."
"Damn it..." Jiang Lu pounded his fist down in frustration: "You still can't do it?"
"Not necessarily."
The future Yuanshi Tianzun began to speak and gasp again:
"This time, she has to walk all the paths by herself. Maybe she can reach even more terrifying heights. You know, the current Yuanshi Tianzun is only borrowing the world's will, that is, the foundation of creation and the body of a true immortal from his parents. He doesn't have it himself."
"You mean..."
"This child may be the strongest Queen Mother of the West in history!"
Chapter 377: Jiang's Eating of the Whole Family
The atmosphere suddenly became heated.
It's just like the purest batch of civilian comics.
"This child will probably become the strongest Saiyan/Ninja/Death God/Pirate/Sakata Gintoki of all time..."
And so on.
"Too exciting." Jiang Lu clenched his fists. "The strongest Queen Mother of the West in history, I feel like I have already won!"
“Not necessarily.” Future Yuanshi Tianzun changed the subject: “Although he is the strongest in history, he is not necessarily stronger than me.”
"......" Jiang Lu put down his hand and tilted his head: "Are you following my nine shallow and one deep?"
"You can't stay away from the lower three roads, right?"
"No, your words are so confusing that I'm dizzy." Jiang Lu spread his hands: "Isn't it still completely uncertain after all?"
"Well... Anyway, we have done everything we can. Now it's up to her."
The future Yuanshi Tianzun let out a long sigh, and his voice became somewhat vicissitudes:
"But I probably won't be able to see it. I have a feeling that my time will soon be up..."
Several people were silent.
After waking up this time, the future Yuanshi Tianzun probably won't live to see the Queen Mother of the West. Perhaps soon he will disappear along with his mother's part of the world's will.
The topic of parting is always a bit heavy.
No matter what Yuanshi Tianzun had done, he had some interactions with the people present, and at least he was on their side now, so he could be considered a companion.
Whether from the perspective of affection or from the perspective of assistance, his departure is not good news.
"Or..." Jiang Lu slowly raised his head, his eyes showing unprecedented determination: "You can try to give me the cultivation that should have been given to your sister. Maybe I can help her."
"you?"
The future Yuanshi Tianzun pondered for a moment:
“You are just a useless person now. If you really have the ability, you would have returned to the top without anyone’s help, but look at you now.
You have obviously lost everything, and even forgotten how to practice and how to use your strength. Even if I give you all my strength, you won't be able to use it."
As he spoke, his will swept over the remaining three people, as well as the three people outside.
"As for them... Taiyi has already lost the foundation of creation, and the others have never possessed it. Let alone using this power, perhaps they can't even bear it."
Jiang Lu shook his head: "Do you think that my true strength is only what I have shown? This is just what I want you to see."
After saying that, Jiang Lu tensed all his muscles, his aura rose rapidly, and his spiritual power circulated wildly in his body.
"Could it be that..." A hint of anticipation arose in the heart of the future Yuanshi Tianzun.
The three girls also looked over with surprise: "Could it be..."
The surging momentum gradually subsided, and Jiang Lu's hidden cultivation was finally exposed to everyone -
The initial stage of Qi training!
Third Girl:?
"Uh..." Future Yuanshi Tianzun was a little confused: "Is it over?"
"It's over."
"Why are you hiding your cultivation level when you are only in the initial stage of Qi training? The two people who came with you outside have already established their foundation!"
Jiang Lu wiped his nose and looked at him disdainfully: "I feel ashamed."
"..."
"But at least it means that I am not completely incapable of cultivation, right?" Jiang Lu asked, "Although my talent and understanding are a little worse in this life, and I am not as impotent as before so I can't concentrate, but even so, I can still successfully achieve Qi training through my own efforts, right?"
