Lingxu smiled and said,
"Haha, thatās right, you havenāt seen it so you canāt judge, but I have seen it, so I can tell you, itās actually nothing much."
Chen Xuantian rolled his eyes.
Lingxu shrugged,
"It really isnāt anything. Iāve really calculated it. The Taiji Realm still has at least two thousand years. Even if the tribulation thunder in the sky gets out of control and sweeps down, how many people can it kill? Even if the Heavenly Demons descend together, how many people can they seize? Didnāt Nan Hua come down earlier? How many people did he eat? Heās still giving out rice.
Moreover, mere mortal flesh, the Heavenly Demons wouldnāt care about that, so their target can only be Cloud Platform Peak, only the Nascent Soul True Men at the top of the Ninth Peak. So as long as I donāt soar to the Great Void, the demons will besiege the Cloud Platform Peak. Tell me, why should the masses worry? Why do they have to take this egg?"
Chen Xuantian understood,
"Why are you telling me all this? Oh, you want to make peace?"
Lingxu candidly said,
"Thatās right, the arrangements Iāve made, they are clearly aware of them. So far, theyāve proven their capability, itās too easy for them to spoil my plans.
That group of people have foresight, knowing future events, even I canāt calculate more than them. Continuing with the original plan, Iām afraid that the longer it drags on, the lower my odds of winning.
So I have to first guess what they want to do, and then, while I still have some leverage, have a conversation, and finally gamble a bit."
Chen Xuantian asked,
"Oh, so what do you guess they want to do?"
"My guess is, itās for the path of evolution."
"... For... evolution?"
Lingxu turned his head, looking at the giant dragon rising head-on under the Heavenly Tribulation, soaring into the sky.
"Thatās right, evolution. The company created us, nurtured us in this world, subjecting us to numerous trials and pressures, isnāt it just to force us to evolve to the next stage?
As early as the era of the First Great Void, the dispute over the Daoist inheritance of the Thirty-three Heavens was the main theme. Even to this day, arenāt the Three Great Sects still competing for dominance over the path of evolution?
And the beings of Taiji Heaven were indeed born for evolution.
From the companyās spaceship, palace, equipment design, I can tell that the companyās native race is very weak. Even void radiation is deadly to them, not to mention other disasters and tribulations, so they must hide under layers of protection from head to toe.
But in contrast, the beings on the Tai Chi Land not only wonāt die from radiation exposure, they have high tolerance, even evolving continuously under the stimulation of high-energy radiation.
So when my master harmonized with the Tao, transforming into the Shenxiao Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, forming a layer of Shenxiao Tribulation Thunder Barrier, it not only blocked the Heavenly Demons but also kept most of the Great Voidās radiation outside the Taiji Realm. This directly led to a sharp decrease in the number of evolved beings in the world. The Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, once common, have now become the Primordial Strange Species, rare animals.
But perhaps for this reason, the weak-bodied Human Clan were instead preserved. Compared to other Spiritual Clan with huge energy needs, the Human Clan is better suited to this low-radiation, low-energy environment, causing their numbers to surge.
So according to my calculation, removing this layer of Shenxiao Guardian is just restoring the illusion realm of the world to the state of thousands of years ago, the era of the coexistence of all living beings and the symbiosis of Gods and Demons. Although the Human Clan on the ground might not adapt well, ten out of every twelve might die.
But removing these weaker ones, the remaining two or three out of ten would have the chance, like us, to release their innate shackles, adapt and evolve, and everyone could become a dragon."
Chen Xuantian was really tipsy,
"... Losing seven or eight out of ten is a bit? Can you even count??"
Lingxu sneered,
"Haha, is it a lot? You should think like this, how many people are there in todayās Mystic Sect? Those who attain entry-level and refine Qi and transform God are one in ten thousand in the Twelve Countries. In the future, if two or three out of ten have the opportunity to attain the Dao, they will be hundreds of times stronger than today, isnāt that good enough?"
Chen Xuantian was silent for a moment.
Lingxu laughed loudly,
"Ha! As expected! You think so too, huh! As long as someone can survive, isnāt that it! Hahaha! Anyway, ordinary people will die within sixty years! After evolving, they can have a lifespan of one thousand and two hundred years! Isnāt that good! Hahaha!"
Chen Xuantian was left speechless. After all, what could he say? In his own corner, there werenāt even those two or three out of ten...
Lingxu, after laughing, changed the topic,
"But do you really think they came to oppose me to seek justice for those seven or eight out of ten lives? I donāt think so."
Chen Xuantian became vigilant.
"What trick are you up to again."
"I? What am I up to? From beginning to end, it was that Space-Time Taoist Ancestor who was up to tricks!"
Lingxu changed the tone, coldly said,
"Did you really think I was blind? Wasnāt it always that guy hiding behind the scenes, manipulating things, ruining my plans, stealing my magic, and cutting off my path, changing my fate! Why! Isnāt it just because he thinks Iām blocking his path!
Haha! He got the Space-Time Dao, right! Heās the Future Taoist Ancestor, right! Reversing Qian and Kun, reversing fate, ha! How amazing! But hasnāt he been born yet!
So heās scared that I might calculate his location, preventing him from being born! Preventing him from attaining the Dao!
Hmph! I donāt care how powerful he could be in the future! At this time, this place, in this Taiji Heaven, Iām the one who makes the call! Since he wants to compete with me in the Dao, Iāll show some real skill and compete with him!
Starting today, Iāll cut off his space-time path! Starting today, Iāll remove the Shenxiao Guardian! Let everyone in the world attain the Dao! Even if I canāt figure it out, I donāt believe in those two or three out of ten people, thereās no one who can comprehend the Space-Time Dao!"
