Shennong looked dumbly at the two, not understanding what they were playing at. He understood even less why Fuxi was calling Lie Shan by the name of Lu Yun, and why Lie Shan seemed to be quite familiar with the holy emperor.
âShennong, I know everything thatâs happened in the Yan Tribe. Since youâve chosen Lie Shan to be the next Shennong, we can have everything proceed according to his ideas.â Fuxi chose to address the Yan chief instead of responding to Lu Yun.
âI will follow the holy emperorâs decree!â Shennong responded respectfully.
âAlright, you may head to the Heritage Dais and pass on your knowledge. What the sacred land grasps belongs only to the sacred land. You will have to do things yourself if you wish to share something with the entire human race.â Fuxi waved a hand.
âUnderstood.â Shennong looked at Lu Yun before taking his leave.
âŠâŠ
âHave a seat.â Fuxi sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at Lu Yun.
Lu Yun took a deep breath and followed suit. âMy appearance has indeed changed. Iâm much tanner compared to before.â
He rubbed his cheek. After being reborn in the world of immortals, heâd been a fine dandy living in the lap of luxury. He spent every second reveling in a luxurious life, at most entering a few tombs and engaging in a few fights every now and then. Of course heâd been pale and soft-skinned then.
After arriving in this primitive world, he spent his days weathering wind and rain as he studied agriculture and tasted various plants. He looked much more rough around the edges compared to before, and was much stockier.
âYou, however, havenât changed much. You look very much like how you do in the future.â Lu Yun scratched his nose. âYour eyes look brighter though.â
Fuxi smiled and didnât respond.
âIâd like to know⊠did you become Fuxi, or did Fuxi become you?â Lu Yun looked curiously at Fuxiâs eyes.
âIs there a difference?â Fuxi grinned brilliantly. âJust like youâdo you think youâve become Lie Shan or has Lie Shan become you?â
Lu Yun remained silent.
âThere is no Wayfarer in the future or Celestial Master Zhang. In fact, the celestial masters donât exist at all, theyâre just a dream.â Fuxi rose and looked at the sky.
âDo you mean that⊠all four of you come from this period of time?!â Lu Yunâs eyes grew wide.
Wayfarer, Celestial Master Zhang! The Fuxi in front of him was Wayfarer, which made him Celestial Master Zhang of the Primordial Era!
Lu Yun wouldâve never thought that Wayfarer would be Fuxi. In fact, the Wayfarer he knew wasnât the real one. It was just his skin. Art Saint, Zither Saint, the Gorb Demon, and some other fellow he hadnât met yet were all evolved from his senses.
It was also immensely apparent that Fuxi would always exist in the future as Wayfarer, the two saints, and the Gorb Demon. He knew the development and future direction of the world.
âMm.â Fuxi nodded. âThe current world is a chaotic miasma in which a single spark of hope cannot be gleaned. Therefore, Ah Zhi and Tushan built an enormous dream for us to head to the future.
âHowever, none of us counted on Ah Zhi and Tushan losing themselves in the dream. Thankfully, they all returned safely in the end.â
Lu Yun remained silent.
So Tushan and Ah Zhi had joined hands to weave an enormous dream that brought them to the future⊠When Lu Yun first met the little fox, sheâd been living in a dream of reality and took Lu Yun and the others to be a figment of her imagination.
As for Ah Zhi⊠she was Yu Hengluo.
âDo you want to know who the other person is?â Fuxi looked at Lu Yun with a smile.
âYouâve already refined him into the Scroll of Shepherding Immortals, havenât you? Heâs the legendary creator, God.â Lu Yun raised his head and looked at Wayfarerâs familiar face.
Fuxi sighed. âThe immortal dao needed a treasure to support it and a simple jade creation disk wasnât enough. It needed a stronger treasure to make it wholeâŠ
âThe divine race once built an ancient divine court to complete it, but that was still far from enough. Thus, God sacrificed himself and used his core essence to supplement the immortal dao.
âIt was also because of this that immortal dao didnât shatter to pieces in that war. Our hope lies in the future,â Fuxi sighed softly.
âA god from the past died in the futureâŠâ Lu Yun grinned ruefully. âWhy the immortal dao?â
âBecause it is the dao of all. Take a look at this primitive dao, God created it for divine spirits.â Fuxi raised his hand, looking as if he was holding something up. âWhat do you think about it?â
âThis kind of dao isnât suitable for humans.â Lu Yun frowned.
âRight, itâs not suitable for humans⊠or any other races.â Fuxi nodded. âTherefore, youâre here as Lie Shan. Only you can modify the primitive dao, and youâve succeeded!â He grinned broadly. âThe qi refiners among humans now are a spark of hope that will light up the entire great wilderness sooner or later. They will illuminate the great dao!
âIâd always thought that the greatest accomplishment of us four traveling to the future was for God willingly turning himself into a treasure to protect the immortal dao. I hadnât thought that itâd be to bring you back!
âOur hope is in the future, and youâve created the future here!â
âI created the future here?â Lu Yun frowned slightly.
âThatâs right, youâve created the future. You are the future world, and youâre unique! Thatâs why Iâve selected you and pulled you back from the future!â Fuxi nodded.
Lu Yun heaved a long sigh of relief. Fuxi wasnât looking for him, he was looking for the Tome of Life and Death. What was unique was the book and not him, and it was the book thatâd created the future. Itâd only made use of his hands to do so.
âIâd thought that the little fox had lost Yu Hengluo. So she actually brought Yu Hengluo back instead.â Lu Yun smiled wryly.
Fuxi shook his head. âTushan completely lost herself. Ah Zhi and my eyes saw the birth of an enormous demon and were almost corrupted ourselves.â
âAn enormous demon? The demon god? Or the demon godâs master?â Lu Yun blinked.
âDemon god? The demon godâs master? Ji Du and Luo Houluo?â Fuxi shook his head. âTheyâre just minor characters compared to the great demon. The great demon will be born in the future and will become the greatest enemy of immortal dao.â
Lu Yun nodded. âSo what happened to Ah Zhi? In my time, I saw two Yu Hengluos and one of them was missing her skin. Does that have something to do with the great demon?â
âYes.â Fuxi nodded. âOne of them is Ah Zhi in a dream, and the other is her actual body. The one missing her skin is her body.â
Lu Yun trembled.
âWould you like to meet God?â Fuxi suddenly asked.
God, the only creator in all of the heavens.
