Part of Hunyuan's thinking was once a soul from the Blue Star, but the souls of mortals were mixed in the entire chaos and were too small.
The instantaneous change and emotionless indifferent fluctuation also made Li Yuan understand that Hunyuan was definitely not an existence like Tianyao. Tianyao still had an independent individual thinking and maintained a complete self; but Hunyuan was different. As it itself said, the soul that merged into the chaos was only a part of the entire chaotic thinking.
Rather than saying that Hunyuan is a "fellow villager", it is better to say that he is a chaotic consciousness that has absorbed the soul memories of the humans on Blue Star.
The soul that traveled through time and space promoted the evolution of chaotic consciousness, but it also became the nourishment of the entire unopened chaos and was completely assimilated.
Therefore, two chaotic wills emerged later. One is Hunyuan, a collective mind born from chaos, which is almost omniscient and omnipotent in this chaos; the other is Chaos Instinct Will, a pure fuzzy instinct.
Listening to Hun Yuan's words, Li Yuan was silent and did not speak.
There is no need to argue about some things, just follow your heart.
In the psychedelic and distorted misty dimension, Hunyuan stood there in the air, his figure was illusory and blurry, and his true entity could not be seen clearly.
"You are almost opposite extremes, but you both chose to jump out of the track of fate. I am very disappointed..."
Hunyuan sighed softly.
"So, in order to ensure the fate of the three realms, I have to give you two choices."
Chaos trembled, and infinite original power gathered, turning this twisted land into a cage of laws, covering Hunyuan and Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was alert, and boundless immortal power vibrated out from his body to resist the formation of the law cage, but he was only a half-step Taoist master, how could he resist Hun Yuan's means, and he was still locked up tightly.
Hunyuan had no intention of attacking, but it was obvious that it would not let Li Yuan leave easily before Li Yuan made a choice.
Moreover, this cage condensed by the laws of chaos also blocks the perception of the outside world. Even for a Taoist emperor, it is difficult to penetrate the restrictions of Hunyuan and see the situation in this misty dimension.
"Give up this great disaster and let yourself die in the hands of the evil creature. I will protect all your relatives and friends and let them live in peace for the rest of their lives."
"If you insist on participating in the Daoist melee and completely overturning the catastrophe... don't forget that according to the original trajectory of fate, 99% of the cultivators in the three realms will be affected."
"By then, Anshan will be destroyed, the land will be barren, and all your relatives and friends will be dead... Then don't blame me for not giving you a chance to change it all."
In Hunyuan's eyes, there was a reflection of boundless chaos, thousands of stars twinkling, and the evolution of all things, but there was no real emotion.
Even when he just recounted his experience of suffering in the long silence, he still did not have any emotions at all. After the soul that traveled through time and space merged into the entire chaos, it was so small that it was almost incalculable.
The so-called gentleness is nothing more than a plot. Hunyuan only wants the three realms to return to chaos and regain their complete state.
It is a chaotic thinking, close to omniscience and omnipotence, but not truly omnipotent. At most, it can only be regarded as a relatively comprehensive Taoist emperor.
That is why he recommended that the Emperor of Heaven open up the Three Realms, establish the Heavenly Palace, and bring about a prosperous age for all living things. He intended to use this to create infinite energy and seek transcendence.
As a result, the Emperor of Heaven became more domineering and powerful. He directly isolated it, absorbed infinite chaotic energy to open up the Three Realms, and after allowing the Three Realms to have a complete cycle, he banned Hunyuan from entering the Three Realms.
Even Hunyuan knew very little about this mysterious Heavenly Emperor, this being who was born to be an emperor. He could not even confirm whether he was a creature born in this chaos.
For the 'flawless' chaotic consciousness, the Emperor of Heaven is that tiny 'flaw', always reminding Hunyuan that it can control the entire chaos, but cannot control all living things!
After all these eternity, it still hadn't figured out where the Emperor of Heaven came from. There were also three Heavenly Lords who existed when the chaos first began... Hun Yuan even felt that these four guys were born earlier than himself!
Earlier than the birth of the Chaos Will, Hun Yuan even suspected that the Emperor of Heaven and the Three Heavenly Lords might be people from other Chaos, but he could not find any evidence!
It only figured out one thing... The different chaos is closely related to this chaos. They were originally one and the same, but they diverged at a certain critical "fork in the road" and turned into two parallel existences in different time and space.
As for Hong Zun, Xiantian Immortal Emperor and other beings, although they are also creatures at the beginning of chaos, at least Hunyuan knows them well!
Since the Emperor of Heaven, more and more Dao Lords have risen up, and with the creation of the Three Realms, it has become the center of chaos. Countless creatures live in it, only hearing of the Way of Heaven, not the name of chaos.
Hunyuan's status became increasingly marginalized, and it could only lurk in the depths of chaos, being a "harmless person" who did not fight or compete.
Its existence is important, but it seems unnecessary. All Taoist emperors basically respect it, but are in an awkward situation.
Therefore, when the Three Realms reached the point of experiencing unusual changes, Hun Yuan changed his mind and brought in the Heavenly Demon.
It wanted the Heavenly Demon to stir up troubled waters, and the first half was successful. The Emperor of Heaven was thinking of destroying Buddhism, and the Heavenly Demon was the open thug.
But the character of the celestial demon was too unruly. After his rise, he no longer cared about the so-called destiny. He turned the world upside down and even abandoned his body as Kunpeng. He just did whatever he wanted and no one could control him.
It acted recklessly in the Three Realms, making everyone in the world its enemy, and was suppressed by the three realm masters. Hunyuan was unable to interfere too much and finally had to give up.
It was not until Li Yuan's growth that Hun Yuan saw a glimmer of hope, but he discovered that the Emperor of Heaven did not hesitate to take action himself and pull Li Yuan into the camp of Heaven!
Li Yuan is now a staunch supporter of the Heavenly Emperor faction, and he takes it as his responsibility to protect all living beings. With the Heavenly Emperor backing him up, he has gradually broken away from the trajectory of fate, is no longer pushed by "God's will", and has walked his own path!
But...this is not the process and result that Hunyuan wants!
No matter how much trouble the celestial demon makes, he only wants to live freely in the world and has no intention of gaining power over the Three Realms; no matter how powerful Li Yuan is, he always chooses to protect the world and the Three Realms.
But Hunyuan's original intention is to make the Three Realms completely chaotic and to make the origins of endless living beings return to chaos!
To this end, it did not hesitate to reach an agreement with the Xiantian Immortal Emperor, spent countless energies, and supported several fake Dao Masters, just to allow the Xiantian forces to complete the destruction of the world.
This step was too obvious and seemed too impatient. The Emperor of Heaven must have sensed it, and when he came out of seclusion, he might settle everything.
Doing good for eternity is not as good as taking one wrong step.
In addition, Li Yuan's momentum has already been established. He has been awarded the title of Yuan Zun and his status is comparable to that of Dao Zun Emperor. If Hun Yuan still wants to succeed, he really has to take the risk of contacting Li Yuan.
"What if I don't choose?"
Li Yuan's expression gradually became cold. He had already felt the difference of Hun Yuan. He could not be considered a real 'fellow villager', and it was impossible for him to have friendly contact with him like Tian Yao.
No matter how much Hunyuan does, whether good or evil, his ultimate goal is just to devour the origin of all living beings in the three realms and return to a complete state.
