Chapter 174 Because I'm Not Stupid

What exactly is the way of heaven?
This has always been an inevitable problem among various prehistoric streams, and each school has different opinions on this:
Some heavenly ways are the manifestation of Pangu’s own spirit.

Some heavenly ways are a mixture of the laws of heaven and earth.

There are also heavenly ways that are "world consciousness", and so on...

But this version of Honghuang is different. The way of heaven here is not natural, but the creation of Hongjun.

Therefore, Hongjun naturally has ample say:
The so-called Heavenly Way is a "saint", whose essence is the same concept as the Six Saints that came later, so He is actually alive!
It’s just that due to the nature of the material, He is not a normal-thinking person, but a born "idiot" and "schizophrenic".

It is said that heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs!
Then, knowing that "Heaven and Earth" is a living person, what kind of mental state does He need to be in to "treat all things as straw dogs"?

There is no doubt that this is only possible if there is a mental problem.

Don’t talk about “lofty state of mind” or “forgetting emotions”, because when a person’s spiritual realm really reaches such a high level, then there is no obvious difference between him and a fool…

And Hongjun's method of becoming a Taoist is based on fooling fools!

If he was not a fool, Hongjun would never dare to create him, because this would be no different from creating a living father for himself.

Therefore, Hongjun's plan was to create a fool from the beginning, but due to various accidents, it led to the current dilemma:

The true spirit is ready, we can't just not do it, right?

Under the attraction of interests and the mentality of luck, even though Hongjun knew the risks, he still gritted his teeth and continued to do it:

Believe in the legendary goody-goody Jiao Ming!
Will win!
"I think there might be a problem..."

No matter how Hongjun and Xiaoniao encouraged themselves, Zhao Si, who was peeking at the screen, felt something was wrong the more he looked at it:

"According to the original plot, Hongjun's becoming a saint was not as simple as the six saints that came later. After becoming saints, the six saints obviously had normal human nature, with all the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness."

"Taiqing will cut, Yuqing will protect her shortcomings, Shangqing will be angry, Nuwa will love the human race, and Jieyin Zhunti also has his own emotional expressions, some noble, some despicable..."

"Hongjun, who is also a saint, has refined himself into an emotionless state, with almost no emotional fluctuations..."

"Of course, this can be explained by Hongjun's higher realm and better character, but to such an extent and with such a huge gap between him and the six saints, it cannot be simply explained as a character problem."

In other words, the Six Saints are like humans with the power of saints, while Hongjun... is more like the human incarnation of the Heavenly Dao!
Jin Bing called him "Heaven's running dog" and "Heaven's puppet", and there is a reason for this.

But the Taoist Hongjun in the ancient times was obviously a normal person, which means he was not a puppet from the beginning.

From a sane living person to the embodiment of the ruthless heaven, what happened in between...

"If I'm not mistaken, the final trouble of this perfect ending should be caused by this Heavenly Dao."

"Hongjun's Heavenly Dao theory was not intended to turn himself into the incarnation of Heavenly Dao. His idea was to become a free and easy saint like the Six Saints of later generations. But judging from the Heavenly Dao Hongjun of later generations, there must have been something wrong with his theory, which led to him having to sit in Zixiao Palace and become the incarnation of Heavenly Dao..."

“And the Heavenly Dao in the original plot was also built by Hongjun using the true spirits he obtained by killing the three ancestors. Therefore…the Monster Above Monster came into being, and the Wu Clan also received super-standard treatment. Killing people does not involve karma, and they can even inherit Pangu’s legacy!”

Everything makes sense!

Zhao Si is determined:
"When Hongjun builds the Heavenly Dao, something will go wrong!"

On the other hand, in Jiao Ming's third life, the system clearly stated that the problem of humans becoming demons no longer existed. This could only mean that Jiao Ming's true spirit was injected into the Heavenly Dao, which not only changed the Heavenly Dao in terms of its composition, but also affected the integrity of His thinking.

Judging from the various private behaviors of the sage Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao of Jiao Ming III should be closer to what Hongjun envisioned!

"In other words, as long as Jiao Ming's true spirit is mixed into the Heavenly Dao, the future of the Heavenly Dao can be changed... Even if "He" still has problems, at least the human race and the witch race can be completely resolved, and even the sainted Hongjun can retain a lot of private feelings."

Zhao Si was thoughtful:
"So, although the construction process of the Heavenly Dao in this life may still change, at the worst, it can still replicate the eternal primitive ending of Jiao Ming III... It seems that there will be no danger."

……

East Desert, on Yujing Mountain.

"Daoyou! Here are the last two rules!"

Hongjun stared at the last two intertwined light bands on the jade tablet with sweat on his forehead, his hands shaking for a moment:
To untie, or not to untie?

There are a total of three thousand laws and immortal texts on the jade edict, each corresponding to a law of heaven and earth. Now only the last two are missing. Success is just one step away!
But the closer he got to success, the more hesitant Hongjun became. He tried for a long time but didn't dare to start...

After sitting there for nearly a whole epoch, Bird No. 3 finally couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but say:

"Fellow Daoist, you go ahead and do your work first... It's better for me to go and awaken my spirit..."

Xiao Niao knew that it was not easy to make this decision, so he did not want to put too much pressure on Hongjun, so he simply left some space for him, allowing him to do his ideological work quietly...

"Need not!"

Unexpectedly, his words gave Hongjun confidence, and he immediately made up his mind:
"Come directly!"

Who cares! I don't believe this idiot can still turn the tables!
As the bird stared in amazement, old man Hongjun, who had been hesitant just now, just reached out and started to tear things apart.

But after a moment, the last two entangled law light bands finally separated from each other...

The next moment, the three thousand laws and immortal texts on the Jade Book of Creation were connected to a corresponding law light belt, and a dazzling light shot up into the sky! Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple... Three thousand laws, there are three thousand kinds of color light, many of which even the two people present could not distinguish. If you force yourself to look, you will be dizzy, and the more you look, the less clear it is.

Therefore, the two of them had no choice but to look up at the three thousand laws of light rising into the sky:
They radiate from the Jade Book of Creation to all parts of heaven and earth, including the East Wilderness, West Wilderness, Central Plains, South Wilderness, North Wilderness, East China Sea... and even the boundless starry sky and the stars around the sky!
They were like nerves that reconnected Pangu's silent body that had been dead for countless years...

Boom!
Suddenly, a muffled thunder resounded throughout the wilderness, shaking the heaven and earth.

Boom!
thump...

Muffled thunder roared one after another, and all the creatures between heaven and earth, no matter if they were born sacred or mindless beasts, felt inexplicably palpitated, and then became a mess in panic!
At that moment, their instinctive consciousness was telling them:
Eternal life is reviving!

And these muffled thunders are His heartbeats...

The heart starts beating again, and the blood starts flowing again:
Rivers, lakes, and oceans are all surging wildly. The surging rivers are like angry dragons, and the stirring sea waves are as high as the sky!
Beneath the ancient Sky-Supporting Divine Mountain is the location of the giant god's heart. Every time it beats, it shakes the great world, with such force that it spurts out the twelve balls of essence and blood remaining in the heart.

The twelve blood groups that had already regained consciousness were extremely confused and had no idea why they were thrown out by their father...

And in the Kunlun Mountains which were filled with natural formations, the human-shaped pure energy also sensed that its body was being resurrected, and with a flicker of remnant thoughts, it was completely extinguished.

Without the restraint of the remnant, the three groups of pure energy that made up "him" also disintegrated and turned into three individuals with distinct consciousnesses...

There are many other places that have changed one after another. This series of changes combined together has become a major signal:
He, the giant god who created the world, has resurrected!
[Three thousand laws turned into nerves, connecting the four directions of heaven and earth to the Jade Book of Creation. As a result, strange phenomena appeared in the prehistoric world. Everything showed that the giant god's body had revived! ]

[But it was only the body that was revived. Without the brain to direct it, nothing has changed fundamentally...]

[The arrow has been put on the string and has to be shot. At this point, Hongjun simply no longer hesitates and directly controls the Jade Book of Creation to contact the huge true spirit that is free between heaven and earth.]

[At the same time, he released two groups of true spirits that he had prepared in advance, one was Jiao Ming's, and the other... was his...]

[Although I don’t know why that saint from another world gave his true spirit to me to refine the Heavenly Dao, and I don’t know why he can live without a true spirit...but Hongjun doesn’t care about these: it doesn’t make sense, it’s a parallel universe! ]

[Anyway, my other self has become a saint. It is not hard to understand that a saint can live without a true spirit...]

[In short, this true spirit, which is half the weight of Pangu, spread into the world and began to refine the world together with the true spirits of the three ancestors! ]

[Pangu's true spirit refined Pangu's body, and the original soup turned into original food. The process was naturally smooth, but in just one or two epochs, the refining work was fully completed.]

[A huge and ignorant will appeared in the prehistoric world. He took the true spirit as his god, the heaven and earth as his body, and the laws as his meridians... As soon as he was born, he achieved the enlightenment that the three ancestors had always dreamed of. He had unlimited power and was absolutely invincible! ]

【Then, He used the sun and the moon as His eyes and looked blankly toward Yujing Mountain.】

[Although the two ancient stars are extremely huge, you and Hongjun can still clearly feel that "He" is looking at you, so you can't help but feel numb all over and terrified...]

[He thought for a moment and asked: Who am I? ]

[He has no mouth, does not speak, and does not even have any spiritual consciousness fluctuations, but you strangely "hear" and understand what He means. ]

[Your heart skips a beat: This is not right! Would a fool ask such a question? ]

[Hongjun was unsure, but he quickly said, "No name? No problem, I'll give you one, let's call you Tiandao!"]

[Heavenly Way?]

[He fell into deep thought...]

[Seeing this, you and Hongjun looked at each other: You have to think about this question for a long time, it seems you are indeed a fool...]

[Okay, I’ll call myself Tian Dao.]

[He said this indifferently.]

[Hongjun's face lit up, and he continued, "We are your creators and have done you a great favor, so you should repay us... How about helping us refine the heaven and earth?"]

[Hurry up and say yes! Hurry up and say yes! ]

[You are only one step away from becoming a saint. You and Hongjun are so excited: As long as this fool agrees, everything will be perfect in the future!!!]

[A beautiful future is waving to you...]

[However, things don’t go as planned. Just when you were excitedly imagining the future, He refused: No! ]

【"Why?!"】

[Hongjun's pupils shrank. He had not expected this to unfold.]

【“Because I’m not stupid.”】

【He answered as a matter of course.】

【you:……】

【Hongjun: ……】
