Chapter 3838: Chapter 1849: Karma
This statement feels so familiar.
When I woke up at Tiansang Spirit Palace, recalling past life memories.
The latter also said "Either succeed or sacrifice." Then sacrificed.
"Am I the Name Ancestor?"
"Or perhaps, the past life was the Name Ancestor?"
It sounds like in a previous life I lay on a sickbed, melancholic all day, paralyzed to the point of being unable to walk the Path, let alone engage in cultivation.
Moreover, the world in the previous life indeed had a scarcity of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy.
An ordinary person living a hundred years was considered long-lived, it was simply impossible to live for thousands, tens of thousands of years.
This somewhat resembles what the Nuozu said, after consuming nine epochs Break the realm fruit, the first epoch failed to transcend, dragging into the latter epochs’ conclusion.
But, is this really so?
Xu Xiaoshou was not so rash to deduce, through the fragmentary words of the three people in front, that everything experienced in past and present lives was prearranged.
"Do not believe anyone."
He has not forgotten that Elder Sang had said these words.
Not to mention the source of spacetime arising from the Time Ancestor, it ultimately originated in the All Time Forgotten Sorrow Pavilion, spurred by Kong Yuhen to begin cultivating the Time Dao.
Kong Yuhen, this person, with unclear stance, unsure if hostile or not, is still unknown.
What is seen now, what is heard, does contain elements of "illusion",—if Kong Yuhen has always been inclined toward the Demon Ancestor.
Xu Xiaoshou has never forgotten this point above!
To take a step back, the few confirmed good standing ones, meaning those on his side, on the Shengshen Continent’s side, yet not entering the Ancestral God Realm like Hua Weiyang, she once said:
"Super Taoization is easy, discerning oneself is difficult."
At the time, did not understand what was meant by this "discerning oneself is difficult", how difficult it truly was, now with the journey, some points can be confirmed.
Holy Demon failed to discern oneself, hence returned to demonhood.
Medicine Ghost failed to discern oneself, mutually opposed each other.
Technique Evil failed to discern oneself, accomplished Cursed Yin.
Setting aside the Four Ancestors who have also entered reincarnation, the remaining Time Ancestor Kong Yuhen, did he "discern oneself" successfully?
The answer is evidently no.
No need to interpret the current scene about how strong the Time Ancestor was, since it hasn’t been seen yet.
Just look at the state of Kong Yuhen in the All Time Forgotten Sorrow Pavilion now, and one can see.
If the Time Ancestor discerned oneself successfully, he wouldn’t have fallen to the present step of self-captivity—Dissolved into countless Kong Yuhen, scattered across the river of time, completely lost.
If he had achieved the Path, would the Demon Ancestor still dare to attempt to covet Kong Yuhen, still want to cooperate with oneself, collecting all Kong Yuhen across the river of time?
Fear would avoid, fearing to avoid as much as possible!
And even if the Demon Ancestor colluded with Kong Yuhen, earlier on the river of time his words were false.
At least, his ambition is clear as crystal, he surely wants to exceed the Time Ancestor’s strongest period.
Then judged by his fearless attitude, how do the Ten Ancestors of the Shengshen Continent measure against the three ancestors in the current scene?
Knowing neither the whole picture, no comment is provided.
Xu Xiaoshou dares not rashly conclude the Ten Ancestors far surpass the Three Ancestors, nor does he believe these Three Ancestors vastly surpass the Ten Ancestors, just posed a question mark, continuing to think:
"The achievements of the Ten Ancestors cannot be said to be low, yet none of the ’Nuozu’, ’Name Ancestor’ here gained confirmation from their titles, just my speculation..."
"If the Name Ancestor far surpassed the Demon Ancestor, a difference like night and day, and the black wheel was the Name Ancestor’s reserved means, finally falling into my hands, then no matter what, the Demon Ancestor shouldn’t know of the ’wheel’ matter..."
"If secrets come to be known, surely be obstructed, after all, it’s a Struggle for the Great Path, and now the Demon Ancestor still exists, also knows, Name Ancestor has a fair probability, of cooling off."
"Moreover, if I am the reincarnation of the Name Ancestor, possessing great luck, ultimately can succeed, hence the Demon Ancestor allies with me, Kong Yuhen befriends me, on Abyss Island, Heavenly Ancestor Spirit didn’t even realize at all, clumsily handed the Heavenly Ancestor Legacy?"
"Is the Heavenly Ancestor weaker to them by such a margin?"
That certainly isn’t the case.
Two merge into one, one returns to zero, or there may be a gap, but won’t be that vast.
The sides of the Divine Battle, being the majority of the Ten Ancestors, fought fiercely, if there were a considerable disparity, the battle would not be fierce.
The final result was the Heavenly Ancestor’s side lost, yet the Demon Ancestor’s side didn’t gain much, only the Heavenly Realm was shattered in despair.
Cursed Yin later revived in the Divine Relics.
He should be the first "two merge into one" Ancestral God of the continent, yet does not lightly enter the Shengshen Continent.
There might be a factor that the Demon Ancestor also succeeded in merging two into one, but what about the other one, or say the other two?
Medicine Ancestor, Ghost Ancestor, definitely haven’t succeeded in merging two into one!
After all, both coexist, one befriends Bei Huai, the other feigns friendship with Bei Huai, all are extremely insidious.
The Medicine Ghost, not yet merging two into one, already capable of holding ground against the Demon Ancestor on the Shengshen Continent, with the five great aristocratic families of the Holy Emperor, this says a lot.
"The gap among Ancestral Gods, won’t be too large."
"Heavenly Ancestor’s side lost, largely not due to strength, but luck, maybe just a slight misstep."
"The Ten Ancestors of the five regions all had glorious feats, have historical records, now fighting like this, without a set conclusion, these three looking surreal, combat strength unclear, yet unanimously united against the calamity..."
Xu Xiaoshou felt puzzled.
One point worth deep consideration.
If they need help, why not directly go to the present Ten Ancestors then?
"Time..."
The answer, perhaps lies within the aspect of time.
"The era they’re from, far precedes the Ten Ancestors, counted by billions, even countless epochs before?"
But it doesn’t make sense!
Time Ancestor Kong Yuhen already positioned among the Ten Ancestors of the Shengshen Continent.
And the Holy Ancestor was the continent’s first Ancestral God, laying foundation for future generations, Kong Yuhen still queued afterwards, then the sequence of the Ten Ancestors becoming Gods and claiming Ancestor might have order, in terms of duration, not spanning so far.
