Chapter 112: Phantom of History

"Well, even Hongjun was killed!"

Zhao Si was speechless. He wanted to continue to complain about the game settings, but considering that this guy has never been normal, the settings are full of logical loops, and the main point is "I'm so choked up!"

What can I say in this situation?

what can i say?

"However, it seems that we have discovered a lot of unknown information this time..."

After calming down, Zhao Si looked at this series of information and analyzed it carefully:
First of all, although the ancestors of the three tribes have not yet reached the level of quasi-sages at this stage, and are still at the level of Daluo Jinxian like Hongjun, they are actually stronger than Hongjun!
If we make an analogy, the ancestors of the three tribes are roughly equivalent to a great wizard like Houyi who has been in the industry for many years, and Hongjun is equivalent to a newbie like Xuandu, so Zufeng can beat at least three of him.

This time, Hongjun was burned to death by Zufeng, and his defeat was not unfair...

And now at the stage of Daluo Jinxian, the Three Ancestors can already beat Hongjun. The more time passes, the more impossible it will be to win. If Daluo falls behind, he will still fall behind when he reaches Quasi-Sage. One step ahead, every step ahead.

Unless Hongjun explodes, overtakes others in the quasi-saint stage, reaches the peak of quasi-sainthood ahead of time, or even attains sainthood, he will definitely lose!
"Then the question is, how did Hongjun in the original history win the game?!"

No matter how hard Zhao Si tried, he couldn't think of a way to break the impasse, but in the original plot, Hongjun did win. The Third Ancestor died, and he defeated the Demon Ancestor Luohou, and became the first saint in the history of prehistoric times!
How did he do it?
opened?
And the Demon Ancestor Rāhu... By the way, where did Rāhu go?
"What about the Demon Ancestor? If Hongjun, the Taoist Ancestor who will kill him in the final battle, is gone in advance, then won't he just kill people indiscriminately?"

Zhao Si caught the blind spot:

The Luohou in the original plot is gone!

Not only did Luohou have no role to play, but even the two ancestors Qiankun and Yinyang, who were supposed to work with Hongjun to break the Zhuxian Formation, had no role to play.

Could it be that they are all no match for the Third Ancestor?

That shouldn't be the case. Once Luohou's Immortal-Slaying Formation was set up, the war among the three tribes would have been basically over. Luohou's strength was even more explosive than the three ancestors. If Hongjun hadn't asked two teammates to fight together at the cost of sacrificing two unlucky teammates, they would still not have been able to defeat him!

After much thought, Zhao Si could only attribute all these doubts to the butterfly effect:
"It should be because Hongjun died early, so some factors also changed, which led to the fact that the development speed of Demon Ancestor and his men could not keep up with the Three Ancestors. As a result, even if the Three Ancestors became saints, it was impossible for them to defeat the Three Saints, and finally they had no role to play..."

Although it sounds a bit ridiculous, but in the absence of complete information, Zhao Si can only guess like a blind man...

"Another point."

Zhao Si narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the description in the historical information:

"Why didn't the Third Ancestor personally kill the protagonist and Hongjun from the beginning, but instead kept sending the slave army to fight a war in which quality completely crushed quantity?"

Do you want to kill Taiyi and Daluo by using slaves below the level of Xuanxian?

What a joke, because in the ancient times, it is basically impossible for quantity to make up for the gap in quality!

The Third Ancestor did such a stupid thing, unless...

"Unless... they are just seeking their own death!"

In fact, if you think about it, you will know that it is impossible to defeat the Golden Immortal with a slave army, and the war between the three tribes has always been just a killing between slaves.

Have Zu Feng and the other two ever been to the battlefield?
No, they have been just talking big all the time, clamoring every day that they want to smash the opponent's face and kill all the cows, horses, insects, and birds on the opposite side.

But the ones who can really decide the outcome of a war are always themselves, but they don't start the massacre themselves...

It doesn't make sense to only let his insignificant little brother go forward while his own nuclear warhead stays at home, right?

Besides, what’s the point of me winning?

At that time, Emperor Jiang of the Supreme Heaven led an army of 800,000 to fight the Battle of East Wilderness with the Equal Heaven. Jin Bing pulled out all the people he could, and only managed to gather 600,000.

Dijiang made a bold statement: 800,000 versus 600,000, the advantage is on my side!
This is indeed the case. The 800,000-strong coalition of liches and wizards from the Supreme Heaven have been suppressing the Equal Heaven.

But does it work?
Once Jin Bing used the One Qi Transformation into Three Purities and the Dinghai Pearl to annihilate fifty great wizards under Dijiang on the Daluo battlefield, wouldn't he have immediately secured victory?

More importantly, the reason why the army had to be used in the battle in heaven was essentially because of the existence of heavenly karma, which made high-level combat forces dare not use their unparalleled strength.

But in these ancient times, the Way of Heaven had not yet been formed, and the Ancestral Dragons could randomly draw on the laws to refine innate spiritual treasures. Where did the karma of the Way of Heaven restrict them from becoming unrivaled?

What is the meaning of the army?
"So, the reason why they keep sending slaves to die must be that it is profitable..."

As for what the benefits are, we have to slowly solve the mystery...

[Can we go back in time and return to our last life option? ]

"Yes!"

[Time has gone back...] [...Faced with Taoist Hongjun's tempting invitation to join the group, what do you choose: (?)]

[A: I agree. I've been annoyed with those three guys for a long time! B: I refuse. It's important for you to know your own limitations! ]

"Choose B!"

Since agreeing to join will lead to Hongjun's defeat, he might as well refuse to join and see how Hongjun in the original history would have won this impossible to win situation without the influence of the protagonist Jiao Ming.

Moreover, Zhao Si really wanted to know, if Hongjun won the whole game according to history, would his simulation be judged as a success?
In other words, what kind of ending does this strange simulation want to achieve?

Save the three tribes of Lao Deng?

Just now, the three ancestors all became saints, but he didn’t win.

Since the Third Ancestor becoming a saint is not the desired ending of the game, could it be that Hongjun becomes a saint?
But isn't this the original plot?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Zhao Si had no choice but to continue reading:
[You choose option B, refuse, it is precious for birds to know themselves! ]

[Having experienced a failure before, you have learned your lesson and decided not to listen to the pitfalls of this old man Hongjun, so you flatly refused to join the group.]

[Faced with your rejection, Hongjun felt very sorry, but he still didn't say anything, because he never thought that you would agree to his unrealistic fantasy. So after a polite farewell, he turned around and left the Phoenix Clan camp...]

[And you continue to live your life in the Phoenix Clan. Whenever there is a war, you deliberately let them win. Without killing too many slaves of your own Phoenix Clan, you try to kill as few slaves of the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan as possible.]

[You dare not openly disobey Zu Feng's orders, so you have no choice but to use this method to relieve the psychological shadow brought by killing. ]

[At the same time, you are also curious about what choice Hongjun will make. Without the stimulation brought by your joining, will Hongjun still take the path of resisting the war between the three tribes? ]

[You decide to wait quietly...]

……

In the eternal wilderness, in the Zixiao Palace.

An old Taoist priest in purple robe with an indifferent face and empty eyes was sitting on a cushion. He had not gotten up since he broke the Demon Ancestor's Immortal Killing Formation and was declared a saint.

Whether it is preaching and recruiting disciples, or dividing treasures and uniting the Tao, it has always been so, and perhaps it will always be so in the future.

After all, the little dragon was good at ruling the world. Under his constant efforts, the prehistoric world had achieved the most bizarre and impossible eternal prosperity. There would never be any major event that he could stand up and solve...

Then the next moment, He stood up from the cushion in a flash!
His originally empty eyes suddenly showed some long-lost humanity.

He was wondering:

What's going on? Why do I suddenly feel a little uneasy?

So he stepped out of the eternal Zixiao Palace, looked towards the void of chaos, and then frowned:
Chaos is "nothing", and "something" like it is naturally unobservable.

But the other side is not “nothing”.

Of course, it’s not “yes” either.

It seems to be a wonderful existence between "existence" and "nothingness":

It should have existed, but something seemed to have denied its existence, so it was forced to be in such a magical state for a short period of time.

This wonderful state was naturally observed by Hongjun:

There seemed to be an illusion of a primitive world, and in the illusion of the world there were three familiar yet unfamiliar phantoms of creatures.

The other party seemed to be observing him...

But soon, the wonderful illusion between "existence" and "non-existence" completely returned to "non-existence" and could no longer be observed.

"Is it...them?"

Hongjun murmured, his thoughts seemed to have returned to the ancient times.

Then he finally sighed and returned to Zixiao Palace:
He was still far from understanding the mysterious changes between "existence" and "non-existence", so naturally he couldn't understand it no matter how hard he tried.

"If you can't really [create something out of nothing], then it's nothing but nothingness..."
