Chapter 24 Enlightenment
Hengming slowly opened his eyes, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and then he could see all kinds of manifestations of the world in his eyes.

In order to seize a magical treasure, some people are willing to destroy an entire clan, and all grudges and hatreds are destroyed under the magical power.

Some people use themselves as the source to save lives, but are attacked by evil people when they are not prepared. Even if they have the belief of worshiping all spirits, they will never be able to wake up again and fall into endless decadence.

In order to comprehend the great truth, some people are willing to kill their fathers, mothers, wives, children, friends, and teachers, and kill everything in the world just to comprehend a little bit of the mystery.

Countless loves, hates, and vengeances have woven together this world of misery. Even when the heaven and earth were first created, the world of mortals that has sunk everything has already begun to take shape.

"The power of destiny needs all living beings to support it, just like a pure lotus needs to grow in a quagmire. Every time I weave destiny and let the world move forward according to my will, my cultivation will increase greatly. Why do I feel like the protagonist of a catastrophe?"

After Hengming adapted to the power in his body for a while, he couldn't help but have this thought.

Being the protagonist of a catastrophe is neither good nor bad. The good thing is that one does not need to care about the evil energy that is constantly accumulated within the catastrophe. One can even use it as a basis to increase one's cultivation without any scruples. The bad thing is that the biggest catastrophe within a catastrophe usually happens to the protagonist of the catastrophe. Even if one's cultivation is at the highest level, it is only to prepare for this catastrophe and rarely ends well.

The protagonists of some kalpas are only the protagonists on the surface, and the actual protagonists are someone else.

For example, during the first catastrophe of heaven and earth and the catastrophe of ferocious beasts, the king of ferocious beasts, Shen Ni, seemed to be in great glory. When other innate sacred beings were not even conceived or had not even a trace of spiritual consciousness formed, people like Zulong, Yuanfeng, and Hongjun had just become Taiyi Golden Immortals, but Shen Ni had already become a ferocious beast of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal level, and was even only a few steps away from becoming a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, indestructible and eternally free.

But these few small innate divine beings at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal were able to completely destroy the ferocious beast, and in the end, Shen Ni, the protagonist of the calamity, ended up being dismembered.

The apparent protagonist of the beast calamity is Shen Ni, but the real protagonists are the innate gods such as Zulong, Yuanfeng, Shi Qilin, Hongjun, and Luohou.

When it comes to the Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation, the protagonists on the surface become the Ancestral Dragon, the Original Phoenix, and the First Qilin. It seems that only the dragon, the phoenix, and the Qilin are fighting for supremacy, and whoever wins can become a prehistoric saint comparable to the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, but there is only one real protagonist, and that is Hongjun.

Hongjun is the real winner. Luohou was forced to transform into a demon, his life and death unknown, Zulong, Yuanfeng, and Shiqilin became the spirits of heaven and earth, almost unable to be born again, but he got all the results, even two of the three treasures of creation, not to mention that the innate five-sided flags all fell into Hongjun's hands.

Together with the fragments of the Jade Butterfly of Creation, which are not innate treasures but better than innate treasures, Hongjun is almost equivalent to having four innate treasures, which is why he was able to achieve the greatest victory.

Hengming shuddered unconsciously, but he also understood that fate and the protagonist of the catastrophe are two different things.

"Fate is the ending of all things in the world. It is a predetermined existence. The protagonist of the catastrophe still has the possibility of breaking free, but I control fate. My future has long been destined to be brilliant. Naturally, it is not comparable to the protagonist of the catastrophe."

Hengming figured out the key after a quick thought. If he wanted to control his fate, he had to have the confidence and determination to control everything. The method he just used to overcome the difficulties seemed simple, but behind it was unparalleled determination and confidence.

It is a decision to succeed or die.

It is the determination not to turn back until you hit the wall.

This is the confidence that no one else can have but me.

If he doesn't even have this, Hengming might as well cling to the Three Pure Ones. Maybe he can even get the title of the eldest brother of the Three Religions in the future. No matter if he is the Great Master Xuandu or Duobao Guangchengzi, as long as he is determined to lick, he can always win. But as a top-level innate god, Hengming doesn't have to cling to the Three Pure Ones to survive.

"The future is unknown, who knows that I can't become a saint!" Hengming's eyes were firm: "Heaven doesn't care about the affairs of the ancient times. Everything is determined by man. Otherwise, Luo Hou couldn't destroy the West. It can be seen that the saint destined by heaven is just a hypothesis. The opportunity is there, but you don't want to fight for it. Instead, you want others to get it and then bless yourself. This is something that only extremely stupid people can do. What's the difference between a person who does this and Hongyun who gave up the opportunity to become a saint? I won't be such a fool!"

As soon as he realized this, Hengming suddenly felt his thoughts become clear, and the slight worry he had originally had completely dissipated.

It was not until this moment that Hengming finally grasped the trajectory of the future. The law of destiny in the dark cheered and without hesitation bestowed power on the innate sacredness that it loved.

An inexplicable trajectory of fate emerged in his eyes, and the fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation displayed a completely different power of fate, which made him vaguely see millions of unknown possibilities.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to realize the truth. Mortals are ignorant and look at everything in the world with newness. It is extremely difficult to realize the truth with this mentality, let alone an innate divine being like Hengming who knows everything. It is simply that there may not be a second chance until countless kalpas!
"Opportunities are rare and will never come back. If you don't take what God has given you, you will suffer the consequences!"

Hengming no longer hesitated and flashed into the Lihen Palace. His soul was completely immersed in the law of destiny. The law of destiny, which had been obscure in the past, was now like the most generous person, generously showing its mysteries, allowing him to see thousands of futures more clearly.

Among these millions of possibilities, the vast majority of them are dark, which represents destruction, that is, the end of death.

However, the light emitted by some possibilities is mediocre, which means that he will be lost in the crowd in the future and become an unembarrassed innate sacred being, similar to lighting a lamp.

Only a very small number of possibilities can demonstrate a unique glory, which is a force that can change the general trend. The lowest one is a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, comparable to the ancestor of earth immortals Zhen Yuanzi, the Shura leader, and the ancestor of the Minghe River.

Hengming's mind moved, and the wheel of destiny that he controlled trembled slightly. The huge power of destiny instantly merged into the millions of possibilities before Hengming. All possibilities pointing to death disappeared, and some mediocre futures were gradually destroyed, leaving only those possibilities that could move towards light.

Hengming laughed loudly and activated the laws of destiny without any hesitation. Even the destiny map began to dance in the air and began to continuously eliminate the darkness and bleak future.

"Is this the power to control the wheel of fate and change the future? This is what is called the future is in your hands!" Hengming opened his mouth and sang, and all living beings within a thousand miles were led to death.

Either the magic power in their bodies went wrong and they exploded directly, or they walked into a valley and the ground veins shook and they were swallowed alive by the earth, or two groups of people fought for some inexplicable reason and ended up being destroyed.

Every time Hengming leads a living being to a different ending, a wisp of fateful power rushes out of their bodies and flows into Hengming's body. This is also one of his ways of practicing, which is very simple and crude.

But this is tantamount to exhausting the resources, which is not conducive to future development. If Hengming had not felt something today, he would not have chosen this method, but would have brought them to the Island of Fate to train them slowly.

"People are like rivers, with ebbs and flows. When there are high tides, there will naturally be low tides. As the saying goes, when luck comes, heaven and earth will work together, but when luck is gone, heroes are helpless. Even Taiyi Jinxian will be controlled by this so-called luck. Only Daluo Jinxian can keep himself at high tide forever and never fall. This is Daluo freedom, eternity of time and space!"

During this enlightenment, Hengming suddenly understood a little bit of the true meaning of Daluo.

If you want your future to be bright forever, without dullness or darkness, only the Daluo Golden Immortal can do it. This is also the so-called Daluo freedom, eternity of time and space. As long as there is no power beyond the Daluo Golden Immortal, the Daluo Golden Immortal will never die and will return again sooner or later.
