Chapter 492 The Emperor Dissolves Easily in Water
A single world is too small to be considered as a basic base, and it is not in Gu Qingyuan's eyes. Instead of worrying about the gains and losses of a few small things and not being able to make a profit in the end, it would be better to expand the basic base first and let the resources flow. With more people, everyone can get a taste of the benefits.
Those who come late are not as good as those who come early, and those who come early are not as good as the leaders. As long as there are enough people who can intervene, the United Nations of the Universe can be established. As the initiator, he naturally has to be a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and have a seat at the top.
"It is also thanks to me that I have his support, so I will not end up with a weak and powerless result."
Gu Qingyuan thought about it and looked at the Jade Emperor: "If you agree, please deduce it with me on this timeline first and make a sample. I will then come up with a detailed plan, which will make it easier for you to lobby in the future."
The Jade Emperor and the Golden Emperor looked at each other and thought for a moment: "Alright, this matter cannot be rushed, let's use this world as an example first to avoid delays."
Gu Qingyuan stood with his hands folded, and then he revealed his purpose: "Then please ask fellow Taoist to break the cause and effect between the Heavenly Court and this world, so that I can collect my energy and run things in this life."
The Jade Emperor calculated for a long time before he relaxed his brows: "Just as you said, I, the Lord of Heaven, have been ruling the world for too long, which is not good for my path. I might as well take this opportunity to give it up. Everyone knows that immortals are not involved in the cause and effect of the mortal world, but they don't know that immortals still have a cause and effect with the world that has not been resolved. It is difficult for them to be free and carefree as the cause and effect continue."
"I have been sitting in the High Heaven Palace for a thousand years. My magical power has become stronger, but my cultivation level has not improved at all. I think I have reached the limit of this world. The hard part is that I don't know what the future holds."
"I have also asked my true self where my path lies and how he achieved his path. If he achieves enlightenment, where should I go? I have been cultivating immortals for thousands of years, but in the end I realized that I am just another self, and I don't even have my own identity."
He frowned, these questions lingered in the Jade Emperor's heart for a long time: "He is the Jade Emperor, I am the Jade Emperor, he is the original self, I am his self, have we determined who is subordinate, or is it that he and I are just one person, with no difference?"
"He is me in another timeline. He has already attained enlightenment. Where should I go? Where was my previous path? Now that I have been enlightened by my fellow Taoists, I know that I am not myself. He is just one step ahead of me. As long as he does not attain the Oneness, he and I are no longer the same person. He can play with time and go back to the past and present, but he cannot control himself. This is why his Taoism is not perfect."
"If it is not satisfied, it is incomplete, and it is still knowable and predictable. His road has not come to an end, and I also have a way forward. Therefore, when I asked him where the way forward was, he was unable to answer."
The Jade Emperor smiled happily and said, "My path now is to cultivate my true self, to cultivate inaction, to give up the Tao, and to be alone, not in the cause and effect."
Gu Qingyuan smiled and said, "Daoyou, you have gained the Tao in the world of karma, and you have received the destiny of heaven and have formed karma. If you want to escape, you still need to make a conclusion with the karma of heaven and earth. It is better to entrust your foundation, skills, and karma of this life to others, erase your mark between heaven and earth, and practice reduction and emptiness. Only then can you jump out of the constraints of this world and truly jump out of the five elements and not be in the three realms."
"Subtract and seek emptiness, subtract and seek emptiness..."
The Jade Emperor murmured a few times, his eyes shining: "If this is true, my path will be complete." He stood up and bowed, "Thank you for your guidance."
Gu Qingyuan waved his hand: "Peace is beneficial to both sides. You want to reduce everything to nothing and throw away the mess on your body, but I want to pick it up again. Even the world you have given up will be used as the foundation for cultivation. It can only be said that each of us takes what we need."
He then said, "I wonder if you have a suitable candidate to be Jian Chengkong?"
Hearing the music and knowing the meaning, the Jade Emperor said with a smile: "It's a sudden idea, how can there be any preparation? I see that you care about Yansheng, why don't you choose him as the candidate?" "The person who inherits the Tao is related to your Taoism. Considering Yansheng's roots, he is the man of destiny and he is also your blood relative. This should be the case. But I have another candidate, how about adding him as a backup?"
Gu Qingyuan's gaze crossed the mountains and seas and fell on a person. The Jade Emperor followed his gaze and nodded: "In terms of character, Wuji is more suitable. Yansheng is a little soft-hearted and has a very upright and kind character. It is inevitable that he will suffer some grievances when he goes out. Wuji's methods are sharp and he has no taboos in doing things. He can thrive in the cultivation world today. Even if he fell into ancient times, he would still be a rare hero."
"I know his origins well. He has a great dispute with Yansheng. Why not use the structure of this world as a chessboard and play a game of chess? It will take some time to prepare for the affairs of the heavens, and it will also take some time for the heavens and the earth to be renewed. It will only take a few years, so we can wait."
Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly: "The world is like a game of chess, each game is new, let's see who will come out on top in this game!"
Fengming Valley.
Zhang Wuji frowned and put the secret letter back in his hand: "The imperial court moved the capital, and the people of the country fled south, taking hundreds of thousands of people with them. They went all the way south to avoid the attack of the foreign tribes on the grasslands, but were intercepted by the Mengwu."
"Several units of soldiers from the camp rushed to meet the enemy, but were defeated by the Mongols, and countless civilians were implicated. The so-called strong soldiers and generals were unable to fight back at all."
He paced back and forth for a few steps, feeling particularly angry. It wasn't because he was being kind, but because he felt that all the good teammates in the world were on the opposite side, and all the bad teammates were on his side.
If the officials in Shengjing could be kept stable, Zhang Wuji would be able to take over the entire capital with peace of mind and make a smooth transition. Even the Mongols would not be his match.
But who would have thought that a group of pigs would lose their minds and turn the stable situation into a mess. He turned around and said: "Look at what you have done!"
At this time, there was a person standing in front of Zhang Wuji, trembling like a sieve, with a pale face. Although his clothes were not messy, he looked a bit wasteful.
Zhu Qi took the letter from Zhang Wuji, took a look at it, and felt like he was choking. His face flushed red. "How dare they? I am still alive, but they dare to establish a new emperor. The emperor is not even my heir. They are so bold!"
Zhang Wuji pursed his lips and laughed: "Zhu Qi, Zhu Qi, you still have the nerve to say that. There has never been a person in the world who called the emperor a doorman or surrendered to the enemy emperor. I'm afraid your behavior will be recorded in history."
"You are unkind, he is unjust. Now you are the emperor emeritus, your brother will inherit the throne and rule as regent. As for whether he can return to his nephew, that is another matter."
Zhu Qi was so angry that he wanted to spit a few more words, but Zhang Wuji pressed a sword to his throat, and the words came back into his stomach.
"To tell you the truth, your status as an emperor is worthless to the Jurchens, and even less to me. Don't show off in front of me, my Majesty, you should know that the job of an emperor is very risky. If you catch a cold, it will not be good."
