Chapter 782 Rejection
"If you insist on doing this... according to the trajectory of fate, they will just end up dead."
"The Way of Heaven is a product similar to the will of chaos. I know its 'algorithm'. Among all the deductions, only by killing all your relatives and friends can I force you to take the path of revenge."
"A mad Li Yuan, a mad sword... Only if the anomaly becomes completely ruthless can it be possible to cut off this eternal feud."
"Of course, the way of heaven cannot be 'perfect'. I will... give it a push and let this path of fate bloom into a flower stained with blood."
Hun Yuan spoke indifferently, his eyes calm, like a cold and emotionless object.
As a chaotic thought, its only thought is to bring the Three Realms back to the embrace of chaos. At least the infinite energy must come back so that it can be "complete".
Hunyuan does not necessarily have to destroy the Three Realms, but it wants to take advantage of the catastrophe to truly intervene in the independent cycle of the Three Realms and absorb the power of countless living beings.
Anomalies can help the Emperor of Heaven to promote the general trend, or they can become chess pieces of Hunyuan and be firmly placed in the Three Realms.
But Li Yuan obviously sided with the Emperor of Heaven, so Hun Yuan had to meet Li Yuan and let him know the origin of all this and the existence of this person called "Him".
In the misty and twisted chaotic dimension, Li Yuan stood in the void, with a slender figure and a hazy and shiny aura.
He clenched his fists, took a step forward, and his status as a Taoist master emanated infinite power. Rich aura lingered around him as he looked directly at Hunyuan.
"Who has the final say on this so-called destiny? Heaven? Or you?"
"What are living beings in your eyes? They are living beings, not bargaining chips for you to use to threaten me!"
"If you have fallen to this level, what kind of omniscient and omnipotent Chaos Mind are you? You are just as shameless as those evildoers!"
Fate is so mysterious that it can have countless meanings depending on each person's understanding.
But Li Yuan knew that the special existence of Hunyuan and Tiandao could really promote the fate of all living beings and let them follow the predetermined trajectory!
Facing Li Yuan who was walking forward angrily, Hunyuan just remained silent.
"I just need the ending. I don't care about the process."
"As Chaos, the original mother of all things, I don't care about the survival of some creatures... Yes, I don't care. Maintaining the prosperity and balance of this chaos is what I should do."
"Obey my arrangements, die at the hands of the monster, and let the catastrophe completely collapse... With the First Emperor of Man here, he won't let you really lose your soul; or, you will stubbornly resist until all your relatives and friends are gone, and you will also lose yourself in the rage of revenge and destroy everything you protect..."
"The ending is the same to me, but... the choice is yours."
Hunyuan's figure is blurry, carrying the original holy and flawless brilliance of life, but all he does and thinks is chaos, not living things.
hum-
The sound of a sword rang out, carrying with it a chilling murderous intent.
Seven fierce swords, each with its own characteristics, appeared from behind Li Yuan, forming half of a sharp sword wheel. The Juexiao Sword was in the middle, and the dark gold scabbard carried a strong sense of transcendence and dignity.
Fu Shang and Lu Cang Sword were suspended side by side on the left and right of Jue Xiao Sword, and their murderous aura created several cracks in this misty and distorted dimension.
Dingque, Fuxuan, Zhudao, Zhenyu and other evil swords also formed half of this terrifying sword wheel. The seven swords shook the air, and for a moment, Li Yuan's momentum was raised a lot, almost reaching the power of a true Taoist.
Li Yuan took another step forward, frowned and pursed his lips, looking directly at Hun Yuan. The Source Master status on his body shone with divine light, so he didn't need to bow to Hun Yuan at all.
The mysterious energy was restless, the immortal power was surging, and with the blessing of boundless merit and luck, Li Yuan's golden eyes shone brightly, and his eyes were like torches, lighting up the entire misty and distorted dimension.
"I won't choose... and you won't succeed."
"If I had come all the way to this day and still been coerced by you in this way, I, Li Yuan, would not be Li Yuan!"
"Isn't this the so-called destiny? Even destiny can be violated, let alone the fate of living beings? I will bear all the consequences, and their lives are not up to you!"
Li Yuan spoke every word, his voice full of determination and murderous intent.
Hun Yuan was forcing him to either perish in the calamity and let the catastrophe sweep across the world; or it would push the already 'predetermined' trajectory of fate and use the lives of all Li Yuan's relatives and friends to make Li Yuan lose his original heart, fall into the abyss of revenge, and make himself the new catastrophe!
When Li Yuan heard Hun Yuan's words, he was indeed confused for a moment.
If there really is such a thing as destiny, and everyone's fate is roughly written...then does everything he does and the things he wants to protect really have any meaning?
It is already so difficult for him to jump out of the track alone, can he pull his relatives and friends to jump out together?
The lives of relatives and friends, as well as these billions of innocent lives... Do we have to make a choice?
But at that moment, Li Yuan also remembered the answer he gave to a similar question a long time ago.
At that time, Yunxia Fairy God once said: "The fate of all people is determined by heaven. If this is your fate, no matter how hard you try, it is just the inevitable choice of fate." (See Chapter 468 for details)
And his answer was full of determination: "The path of life lies in struggle. Man can conquer nature... It is not impossible."
Not only that, Li Yuan also remembered the conversation between Laojun and himself. Those somewhat inexplicable words were so impressive when he recalled them now.
Laojun once asked: "Little guy, if one day all your relatives and friends are gone, all your old friends are dead, and even the entire land is slaughtered...will you still be willing to protect this vast world?"
"Or will they lose their true nature, become muddled, and become another source of corruption?"
At that time, Li Yuan remembered that he was very scared, and his mind was full of wild thoughts. He almost hugged his thigh and cried for help.
But Laojun finally gave him a complicated smile, telling him not to worry too much, and said: "Your destiny is in your own hands." (See Chapter 469 for details)
The conversation that seemed difficult to understand back then now seems to be an early reminder.
The immortals in the clouds and mist might just be chatting with him about ideas, but the fact that Taishang Laojun revealed this matter clearly indicated that he intended for Li Yuan to make preparations early and have a way out for himself or his relatives and friends.
He did so, and he had been studying the incense and the merits of deification, and had established good relations with the bigwigs in the heaven and the underworld. Once a relative or friend died, as long as the soul was still there, there would be a chance to save him, and he could even give him a good fortune...
However, looking at Hun Yuan in front of him, whose eyes were calm and his expression was indifferent, Li Yuan's heart couldn't help but tighten again, and he dared not imagine the tragic scene.
If one day, all relatives and friends are dead, Anshan is desolate, looking back, all old friends are gone, and enemies are waiting in front of you with a grin...can you really keep your original heart and not be consumed by the rage of revenge?
He was a little unsure, but what Laojun had said did give Li Yuan some support.
His destiny is in his own hands!
Feeling the anger, hidden fear and uneasiness in Li Yuan's heart, Hunyuan did not care about Li Yuan's strong display of the sword, or rather, this was already within its deduction.
That's why there was that soothing sea of flowers, but unfortunately it was automatically resisted by Li Yuan's Yuanzun status and failed to be effective.
"So, you chose the latter."
Hunyuan's voice was very calm, as if he was a dead object without any emotions, and he didn't seem to care which one Li Yuan would choose.
It only cares about the result, and chaos only needs one result.
The choice has been made, destiny...will bear fruit.
