Chapter 993: The Sixth World (The Finale)
Not to mention that Sun Wukong returned to the human world, proclaimed himself the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, and led the spirits and monsters under his command to gradually grow stronger.
In the heaven, the God of Justice led the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Fighting, the Ministry of Thunder and other departments to thoroughly investigate the Nine Heavens. After more than ten days of investigation, they swept and suppressed more than a hundred immortal gods and finally found out the person behind the incident.
The identity of the mastermind was beyond everyone's expectations.
It turned out to be the plague god who usually liked to join in the fun, eat melon seeds and drink wine!
The God of Plague usually does not show his power, but his strength has reached the top level. His relationship with various departments in Heaven is like that of enemies. There are few immortal officials in the Plague Department, and they seem harmless.
No one expected that the God of Plague would have such ambitions.
Moreover, after deep thought, the immortals and gods suddenly realized that the God of Plague was actually an original god, in charge of all poisons and plagues in the world.
Many years ago, in Li Yuan's first mountain battle, the God of Tianyun Mountain borrowed poison from the God of Plague to deal with Li Yuan. However, Li Yuan had a lot of things to do at that time, and later forgot to investigate whether the God of Plague was related to those corrupt and evil gods.
If you think about it carefully, there are some problems, but everyone ignored them.
Moreover, because his presence was so low, the God of Plague was not greatly affected when the catastrophe struck, and he survived.
Even in the great war between Heaven and the innate forces, he was not targeted much.
Now that his hiding place has been discovered and he has been wanted by the Ministry of Justice, the God of Plague is not in a hurry. Even with his hands in shackles, he is still eating melon seeds.
"Alas, there's no point in arresting me. I'm just trying my best. I'm not the only one who's corrupted in secret..."
Seeing his calm and leisurely look, Li Xiaoan became slightly angry and slapped away those fairy melon seeds.
"God of Plague, you are also an ancient being, and you have never made a big mistake in the past ages. Why are you so confused now?"
The gods and immortals really couldn't understand why the God of Plague would cause unrest when he was fine.
Unexpectedly, the God of Plague just shook his head and smiled.
"This eternal life is too boring. Day after day, it's so dull."
"I am in charge of the Plague Department, but because of rejection by other departments and neglect by the Emperor of Heaven, no matter how hard I try, I cannot expand this department. I have been in obscurity for eternity. What is the meaning of such a life?"
"Kill him, kill him... I will leave my immortal body and go to the mortal world. I won't regret it."
"Being an immortal god is not as pleasant as being a human. You can't do this, and you are not allowed to do that. If you have desires, you will be greedy for merit, and you will commit sins at any time... It's so boring..."
The God of Plague was not emotional, but he was unwilling to explain more. He just kowtowed three times to the sky while wearing heavy shackles.
Eventually, he was taken to the Immortal Execution Platform by the Ministry of Justice and beheaded by the long-forgotten Immortal Execution Guillotine. Due to the merits he had accumulated in the past, a wisp of his soul was left to be reincarnated.
The heavens gradually became peaceful, but the forces surging in secret became more complicated.
The incident of the God of Plague made all the gods in heaven realize that some conflicts are difficult to prevent.
Some immortals spend their entire lives in despair, enjoying a carefree life; some are determined to make progress, but are hindered; and some are mediocre and go with the flow, and after becoming immortals, they are not as pure as before.
Fortunately, the general trend is still peaceful and happy, and the grudges among the gods in heaven have not affected innocent beings.
Not long after, the Dao Lords and high-ranking officials of Heaven returned.
I was very pleased to see that the God of Justice and others had easily suppressed this minor unrest.
About a hundred years later.
The Sky Demon attained the status of the Supreme Being after making a breakthrough and proclaimed himself as 'The Only One in Heaven and Earth, the Ultimate Kunlong Double-Integrated Sky Demon'. The world calls him the Demon Lord, but Li Yuan still calls him Brother Sky Demon.
More than two hundred years passed.
After many minor frictions over the years, the conflict between humans and demons in the world has reached a critical point. The Monkey King who suddenly appeared has almost become the leader of the entire spirit and demon races.
Compared to Yuan Zun’s attitude of always giving in to the human race, many spirit and monster creatures prefer such a demon king who dares to fight!
The world is filled with smoke and flames of war. This is a war among all living beings and also another confrontation between races.
The spirits and demons are dissatisfied with the human race dominating the world and wantonly crushing other races; the human race is also dissatisfied with the chaos caused by demons and will never let the ancient blood-eating era return again!
Just when the collision between the two sides became more intense and a battle of racial destiny was about to break out.
A decree was issued from heaven, ordering the Monkey King Sun Wukong to go to the Buddhist holy land in northern Shenzhou, cross the continent and the ocean on foot, overcome 81 difficulties, and seek the supreme true scripture.
According to rumors, the Supreme Scripture contains a great method to save the world and resolve conflicts among different races.
The purpose of this move is to ease the conflicts among ethnic groups, at the same time stimulate the prosperity of Buddhism and spread Buddhist scriptures throughout the world, thus leading to a situation of "using Buddhism to measure Taoism" in the future.
Sun Wukong naturally refused, as he didn't want to be manipulated by the Heavenly Court anymore. But when he saw his master again, he changed his mind.
The journey west turns into journey north, and there is no tight hoop on the monkey's head. Its story and ending will be completely different.
And when Sun Wukong embarked on a journey with several special characters arranged by the Heavenly Palace and Buddhism.
The returning Dao Lords and Emperors suddenly appeared at the same time, manifesting their shadows and illuminating the three realms. Their bodies were majestic and vaster than the sea of stars.
The Emperor of Heaven, Mother Earth, Emperor of the Underworld, Source Lord, Heavenly Demon, and the new True Buddha (a disciple taught by Chen Xuan) who was lifted up by the Three Heavenly Lords. Although they are half-step Taoist Lords, they have responded to the trend of Buddhism and possess the great power of Taoist Lords. They are not much worse than the real Taoist Emperors.
At this moment, all the emperors appeared, shocking the ages, even the entire chaos was trembling.
Lian Hunyuan received the order from the Emperor of Heaven and came to the edge outside the Three Realms, nodding to the Taoist emperors.
Afterwards, the Dao Masters took action, their great power suppressed endless dimensions, their light illuminated eternal time and space, directly solidifying all living beings in the three realms in place, making time and space stand still, and the Dao was frozen.
At this moment unknown to all living beings in the world, the Dao Masters formally incorporated the spirit world, the demon world, and the Buddhist world smelted by the Three Heavenly Masters into the cycle of the Three Realms.
The sea of stars shifted, chaos trembled, and the Three Realms officially became Six Realms, each operating independently, yet like a complete cycle, inseparable.
A moment passed, and everyone resumed their actions, but they were still unaware of all this.
It was not until the passage of time that humans gradually realized that such tremendous changes had taken place.
The spirit creatures were forced to migrate to the spirit world one after another to survive, and the demons were also taken to the demon world.
From now on, the world truly belongs to the human race, and all intelligent creatures will be automatically teleported to the spirit world or the demon world by the laws of heaven and earth.
Hundreds and tens of millions of years later, when spiritual science reappeared in the world, the style of the human race changed drastically and was divided into the cultivation faction and the spiritual science faction.
The world is glorious, peaceful and harmonious.
When people got used to enjoying the extremely advanced spiritual life, they slowly discovered that the originally beautiful and beautiful earth had become devastated, the sky was full of fog, and everything was no longer as pure as before.
Those immortal gods who once appeared in the mortal world have gradually disappeared, leaving only extremely vague wills to simply maintain the operation of the heaven and earth.
The gods and immortals in the heavenly palace gradually became characters in books and stories, and were engraved into people's traditions with a hint of fantasy and longing.
The immortals no longer have to compete for incense, nor do they have the opportunity to plot against living beings. The only way they can come back is if they made a mistake in heaven, which led to them being banished to the mortal world, experiencing the suffering of reincarnation, honing their minds, and finding their original intentions.
If something cannot be found, there is no need to bring it back. It will become an ordinary creature and return to the cycle of reincarnation.
......
One million years after the six realms were formed.
The Heavenly Palace was still glorious, but it had abandoned the system of incense and offerings. The gods no longer needed to have internal disputes because they had a new goal - Buddhism.
There are only so many clergy positions, but Buddhism has gradually occupied half of the positions in heaven. How dare the numerous immortals and gods make mistakes or have disloyal thoughts? Once there is a problem with their reputation, they can be demoted to the mortal world in minutes. This time it is really "if you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will."
Those grudges and disputes cannot affect the level of the Dao Zun Emperor.
As the six realms gradually moved towards stability and prosperity, Li Yuan had already embarked on his journey home.
The true journey home.
"A letter from Mythology Chaos, my child who has left, it's time to return home."
Hun Yuan acted as a messenger, conveying information to Yuan Zun and Tian Yao.
The Emperor of Heaven and the Three Heavenly Lords also appeared at the same time, unable to hide their smiles.
"It's time to go back and take a look."
"Even if it's for that distant dark age, we have to make contact."
The Emperor of Heaven was wearing white clothes and a golden crown, and he looked majestic. At this moment, a rare and complex look of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.
Tian Yao's eyes were red and he was extremely excited: "Fuck, going home, really?! Don't lie to me, I am the Demon Lord now, if you lie to me I will really fight with you..."
Li Yuan couldn't help but feel dazed. Looking back, in the direction of the Six Realms, he seemed to see himself walking towards him step by step over the years.
The little mountain god, the immortal who slays immortals, the number one immortal on earth, Yuankui Star Lord, the master of mountains and rivers, the chief guest of heaven, Yuanzun...Li Yuan.
"Let's go...home."
He smiled, a bright smile, a smile that was easy-going and warm.
