Chapter 883: Immortal King Wudao's Self-Attack Strategy
Halfway to the Yellow Springs Road, some souls who had connections with the Heavenly Palace in their previous lives were still trying to get close to them.
“Senior Yuanzun, I am a humble person. Tens of thousands of years ago, I served as the Fire Star Lord of the Star Department in the Heavenly Court… Hehehe, I heard that you are very familiar with the great Tianxuan. I am also a disciple of the old man Tianxuan…”
The free and respectful words came out casually, even though Li Yuan was obviously younger than all the souls present, but when it comes to the way of enlightenment, there is no order of precedence, and the one who has achieved it will be first.
With Li Yuan's strength and status, it is not against the will of these souls to call him senior.
"I was originally diligent and conscientious... Later, following the order of the great master Tianxuan, I transformed into a strange Taoist priest and came down to earth to guide a mortal genius with immortal luck. As a result, I was careless on the way and was targeted by a demon. That's why... Oh... I ended up in such a situation..."
A middle-aged man with an elegant face but a somewhat flattering temperament walked quietly beside Li Yuan. It was obvious that he had secretly gathered information about Li Yuan through their internal means.
He sighed as he told his story and recounted his miserable situation, trying to arouse Li Yuan's sympathy and avoid him joining him in the six reincarnations and suffering the torment of not knowing when or even whether he would be able to remember his past as an immortal.
Li Yuan led at least thousands of reincarnated souls forward and glanced at him silently, with a trace of helpless sadness in his eyes.
"Mighty Tianxuan...was seriously injured in the battle in the heavens, and his whereabouts are unknown..."
The shadow of the elegant yet flattering middle-aged man was slightly startled: "The great Tianxuan is missing?! I heard that the four kings of the heavenly court only had a trace of their souls left to reincarnate, and I didn't expect that the giant of my Star God Palace couldn't escape... Is this great catastrophe of heaven and earth so terrible?"
Li Yuan sighed silently, his expression somewhat complicated: "Not only Senior Tianxuan, but also Seniors like Taiyin and Taiyang have returned to heaven and earth."
The middle-aged man who had belonged to the Star God Palace before his death had a different expression, and he looked confused and at a loss: "How is it possible... How is it possible! All the giants of my Star God Palace are in trouble?"
"If those seniors hadn't taken the lead, how would the Star God Palace and the Star Department gain a foothold in the Heavenly Court? They would suffer a lot!"
Although it was not known how much truth and how much falsehood there were in these words and expressions, at least this look of concern made Li Yuan's expression ease a little.
He couldn't help but think of the warm way Tianxuan took care of him in the past, the big gray mouse Ziling that he had placed in the Star God Palace, and the vigorous Shaoyang Star Lord... Ziling and Shaoyang Star Lord, ever since the deaths of their predecessors such as Taiyin and Sun, and the hasty start of the war in heaven, how long has it been since he heard from them?
Li Yuan really wanted to say that it was not just the Star God Palace that lost its leader, but all departments of the Heavenly Court were engaged in a bloody battle, and countless immortals, gods, and innate creatures had fallen.
After this disaster, their strength will be greatly reduced for at least tens of thousands of years, and they will no longer be as glorious as they were at the peak of their power.
If Li Yuan had not believed in Lao Zhang, he might have thought that the Heavenly Court was going to be destroyed by the innate forces, and the structure of the Three Realms would be greatly changed from then on, and the end of the world would come!
The demise of a large number of immortals, gods and other transcendental powerful beings represents the initial end of the old era; the return of infinite energy to heaven and earth also heralds the arrival of a blowout era.
As long as the chaos in the underworld is resolved and the problem of powerful souls staying in the underworld is eliminated, in the future, not to mention the birth of a shocking "evil spirit" like Wang Shuo, at least a large number of geniuses will appear, and after the catastrophe, the golden age will be recreated.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, but Li Yuan said nothing. He would not easily reveal these things to more people, even if they were just some souls about to enter reincarnation.
Every living being in this world has their own level of consideration, which depends on their vision.
The daily necessities in the eyes of mortals, the rise and fall of the Star God Palace in the eyes of middle-aged souls, or the future trend of the Three Realms in your own eyes... this is the 'world' that different creatures are concerned about in their hearts.
Seeing that Li Yuan's expression had eased but he didn't say anything, the shadow of the middle-aged man was a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to say anything more and retreated dejectedly.
There were also some words of dissatisfaction in the secret communications with others.
The Immortal King Wudao, who was standing by, saw this and sneered inwardly.
He already knew the life story of this Source Master through some ghost officials he knew, and now he was filled with both admiration and regret.
The middle-aged soul said so much to try to get close to Li Yuan, just to hope that Li Yuan would show some mercy and not force him to enter the six realms of reincarnation and go to the completely unknown and uncontrollable afterlife.
But after Immortal King Wudao got to know Li Yuan, he realized how much pressure this 'Senior Yuanzun', who had only been an immortal for a few hundred years, had to bear.
Compared to what Yuan Zun is considering, these stranded souls who refuse to enter the cycle of reincarnation and their obsession with clinging to their past glory can only be described as "petty and mean".
Of course, he didn't want to be reincarnated like this. After all, his past life was so glorious, and he might not be able to reach such heights in the next life. Even his memories might never be recovered.
However, Immortal King Wudao thought very clearly: as long as he clung to the thigh of Emperor Daozun, why would he be afraid of getting lost in the reincarnation, why would he be afraid of being buried in the dust from then on?
He didn't believe that a Taoist master who was secretly supported by the Emperor of Heaven, Mother Earth and the Emperor of the Underworld would just reincarnate and leave like this, and have no connection with them anymore!
From the perspective of Wudao Immortal King, this is just some kind of training and process. Maybe Yuanzun's state or mentality is not perfect and stable. Maybe it is to cut off the massive cause and effect involved in the catastrophe. Maybe there is a broader prospect in the next life...
There are too many reasons for Immortal King Wudao to convince himself that this Source Master will definitely not be a flash in the pan!
The thirty emperors of the ages are all beings that shine in the long river of time and space. Yuan Zun is so special. He represents the wishes of all living beings and is protected by the three world masters. How could he perish so easily?
He was certain that Yuan Zun would definitely awaken his past memories in the future and embrace a glorious future with a stronger and more complete attitude.
My former name has long been buried by the years. My soul, forgotten by the world, is fighting against the underworld and is reluctant to enter the cycle of reincarnation. How long can this stalemate last?
Who knows, someday because of this incident, the Hades might become really furious and kill them mercilessly, turning them into wisps of soul light and sinking into the Forgetful River. Then, they would really be left with nothing!
After the death of the Daoist Emperor, a remnant soul was left in the underworld to reincarnate. This was a rare event in the ages. Wudao Immortal King dared to guess that this was probably the last chance of tolerance given to the souls of himself stranded in the underworld by the two Majesties of Heaven and Hades without saying a word. After all, most of them had made great achievements and did not want to make things too extreme.
But correspondingly, after these people have resisted, they must also know the limits and know when to advance and retreat!
He has been resisting the six realms of reincarnation, and has been causing unrest in the underworld. Sooner or later, he will anger the Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of Hell.
Compared to those ancient souls who had turned their brains stupid in the dark underworld and were clinging to their nepotism, causing shame to both sides, the Immortal King Wudao felt that he had made changes.
The sudden arrival of Yuan Zun's thigh is the opportunity for everything to change!
So, he watched those guys who were trying to get close to him and build relationships coming and going, but he surprisingly didn't say a word. He just followed Li Yuan's footsteps silently with a firm attitude.
