The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 1023 The Desire of the Universe

Mr. Yuan Gui, who has the most mysterious origin and the longest lifespan in Chaotian Continent, is actually a prisoner of the advanced civilization of the previous generation.

Even more shocking is that it was the first and last prisoner in this prison.

Its life form is too special, as if it can live the same life as the universe, and that's why the executor of that advanced civilization entrusted the method of controlling Xue Ji and the sword of all things to it for safekeeping.

Who would have thought that even that advanced civilization had disappeared and it was still alive.

Yuan Gui knew what Jing Jiu wanted to know the most, and said directly: "Don't ask me what that civilization looks like, because when I was imprisoned, all consciousness was wiped out, and then their will was implanted, and I was responsible for staring at Xue Ji."

"So it wasn't because of pressure that you gave the black stele and everything to that god."

Jing Jiu said: "You can't deal with Xue Ji because of the will of those executors. You want the gods to kill Xue Ji, so as to release your mission and gain real freedom."

Yuan Gui grinned slightly, as if smiling: "You're a smart person, so don't tell the truth."

Jing Jiu said, "Can you go out now?"

Yuan Gui said: "On the day Xue Ji leaves, I will be fine."

Jing Jiu said, "Then why don't you go out?"

Yuan Gui said, "Why should I go out?"

Jing Jiu said, "Freedom?"

Yuan Gui said: "To live is the greatest freedom."

Jing Jiu thought about it and said, "Indeed."

……

……

In order to solve the problem of how to continue to live, he returned to Shenmo Peak, entered the cave and began to retreat.

All the information seen in the Qingtianjian, the sun, the Great Nirvana, and the depths of the black stone tablet intertwined in his consciousness, and then gradually became quiet.

Several years passed, he pushed open the stone gate of the cave and walked out, and finally took a look at the green mountains and peaks.

The breeze was blowing, and there was no sign of him on the edge of the cliff.

If this departure can also be understood as ascension, it will be the third time.

……

……

Leaving Chaotian Continent, he sat on the bamboo chair in the universe for a while, and then went to Tianchi galaxy.

Two years ago, he and Shen Yunbu passed through this place on a vacation trip, just to see the spectacular scene when this galaxy was submerged by the sea of ​​dark matter.Two years have passed, and the Tianchi galaxy has all sunk into the ocean, only the star is still struggling to emit the last, faint light.

Without any hesitation, he flew into the sea of ​​dark matter.

In an extremely dark world, it takes a long time or a distance to see a little light source.

But his perception can be extended infinitely, and the speed is infinitely fast, so there is always light in front of him.

He didn't intend to go to the place where the Sea of ​​Dark Things was born. Since the other party came, the two worlds must be connected.

It didn't take long before he found a brood.

Dark tentacles float slowly in the universe, like seaweed.

This brood is in a dormant state, and it does not emit the evil aura that humans think, it is extremely quiet.

He flew directly into the body of the brood.After finding its information communication organ, it spread out its own perception, crossed the entire sea of ​​dark matter, entered the original space crack, and went to an unknown world.

His perception range is limited to known or highly probable conjectures, so he didn't go too far into that world.

That world has no color, no so-called spatial structure, and no fundamental particles. It is like a big pot of chowder made up of dark matter and dark energy, as well as numbers themselves, or chaos.

Contrary to what human experts have speculated, there is also intelligent life in the world of dark matter—that life is not the objective will of the universe as a whole, because he feels some specific existence.

Those were vague, misty existences, somewhat similar to the ghosts described in the story.

Not long after, those beings should have discovered his existence and rushed over one after another.

He came to the Sea of ​​Dark Things because he wanted to have a conversation with the other party before leaving, but failed.

He can't touch those lives, and those lives can't touch him, they can only discover each other's existence.

Existence is the most basic information and the first element.

Confirming that he could not communicate, he retreated to his own universe.

There is no wind in the universe, and the white clothes float by themselves.

The brood woke up, but saw nothing and didn't know what happened.

……

……

The turquoise water kept lapping against the shore.

The people on the island stared at the light and remained silent.

They have been blowing the sea breeze here for nine days.

Jing Jiu said that he would spend nine days to solve this problem, or die.

It's the last day now, but he hasn't woken up yet.

The flame of the bronze lamp has become extremely weak, and it seems that it may be extinguished at any time.

The atmosphere became more and more tense.

Knowing the state of Zhao Layue and the others at this time, Zeng Ju signaled with his eyes to Shen Da Xianshi and the others to be quieter.

Suddenly there was a breeze moving the coconut trees.

Jing Jiu opened his eyes on the bamboo chair.

Zhao Layue asked softly, "Where did you go?"

Jing Jiu said, "Many places."

Zhao Layue was silent for a while, then said softly: "Is there anything you want to tell us?"

Without any hesitation or any introduction, Jing Jiu said directly, "In terms of the number of existences, the main world is beyond the sea of ​​dark things, and the entire universe is like a steamed cake..."

Having said that, he looked at Huaxi not far away, and then he remembered that she was not the one who made the steamed cake.

Huaxi walked towards the bamboo chair by the sea.

"...The stars on our side are like raisins on steamed cakes, planets are like sand, and twist holes are holes dug by bugs, but at the same time, they are filled with the crumbs of steamed cakes." Jing Jiu continued. .

Tong Yan said: "This metaphor is not good, we should use river embankment, sand and water."

Jing Jiu said, "That's it. The current situation is that the water is rushing out of those holes."

Shen Yunbu asked seriously: "So?"

"This is a human problem, so humans can solve it themselves. It has nothing to do with that side." Jing Jiu said: "Although the sword is broken, maybe you can fix it. As for how to ignite those stars, it is also your business."

Master Shen Da said coldly in the distance: "You just confessed these things and then you are leaving?"

Jing Jiu ignored him, looked at Tong Yan and said, "I went to confirm some things. If you really can't solve the problem here, then go back to Chaotian Continent and bring Yuan Gui out."

Hearing these words, both Liu Shisui and Zhuo Rusui were surprised, thinking what does this mean?

"Let it eat that darkness like starlight."

Jing Jiu said, "Don't worry, even if it eats for thousands of years, it shouldn't burst its stomach."

At this time, Huaxi had already walked to the beach and came to the bamboo chair.

She blinked, her eyes suddenly changed from indifferent to ignorant, she looked at him and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Jing Jiu understood what was going on, looked at her and said seriously, "Thank you."

This thank you is to the girl priest.

Then he looked at Huaxi and said softly: "It's okay, I'm just a little sleepy, I want to sleep for a while."

After saying this, he looked at Shen Yunbu, and then at Zhuo Rusui, Tong Yan, Peng Lang, Yuan Qu, Yushan, and Que Niang. His gaze went back and forth between the sky and the ocean, passing those Coconut grove and cliff stone and those immortals of previous generations.

There was a huge wave in the sea, and a black island appeared.

The corpse dog came back to say goodbye to him.

Xue Ji stood on top of the corpse dog, staring at the beach indifferently.

The chilling cicada was on top of her head, waving its armor reluctantly.

Jing Jiu smiled, stretched out his hand to touch Ah Da's head, looked at Liu Shisui and said, "Be smart."

Liu Shisui was extremely sad, but he didn't dare to show it, so he nodded vigorously.

Finally, he looked at Zhao Layue.

Zhao Layue stepped forward and hugged him tightly.

He patted her on the back and whispered in her ear, "Let's go."

……

……

Nothing seems to happen.

The incomplete moon is still looming in the sky.

The sea breeze is still so gentle.

The monkey is still so noisy.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Layue straightened up.

The sharpest arm in the universe slowly fell down.

Incredibly soft.

It was like a leaf fell beside the bamboo chair.

The most perfect man had his eyes closed, he was out of breath, without any breath.

Que Niang and Yu Shan looked at this scene, their eyes were slightly red, and they tried not to cry out.

Zeng Ju sighed and said, "My condolences."

"No." Zhao Layue said, "He just went somewhere else."

This is not a statement of literature and art to dispel sadness, but a true narrative.

The immortals of the previous generation were stunned for a moment before they understood.

Could it be that Jing Jiu's soul didn't dissipate and die, but... soared up again?

The problem is that the underworld ascends to the ground, and the Chaotian Continent ascends to this universe. If it ascends here, where will it go?

"I once read an ancient book, and I like it very much. The last few paragraphs in it are written like this."

Shen Yunxian said softly: "But the sun, he is the setting sun and the rising sun every moment. When he goes down the mountain to collect the desolate afterglow, it is he who burns on the other side and climbs up the mountain to spread the fierce light. At the time of the morning glory. On that day, I will also walk down the mountain calmly, holding on to my crutches..."

Zhuo Rusui also read that article, and then read it: "One day, in a certain mountain valley, a romping child is bound to run up, holding his toy."

Shen Yunbu took a look at him, and then said: "Of course, that's not me."

Zhuo Rusui then read: "But, isn't that me?"

At the same time, the two looked at the sky where the breeze disappeared, and at the same time read the last paragraph: "The universe refines a song and dance into eternity with its endless desire. What kind of human name this desire has, it can be ignored."

……

(The last paragraph of this chapter comes from Shi Tiesheng's "I and the Temple of Earth". I have recommended it to everyone before, and I recommend it again. The last paragraph is my favorite passage, and the last sentence is one of the themes of this book. One of the main themes Two, at the end of tomorrow's chapter, tomorrow 21st will be the last chapter of the road to the sky, and there will be a very serious postscript to talk about the past 20 years.)
