Chapter 360 Times Have Changed
Chapter 360 Times Have Changed
As the Taoist mother’s eyes changed, the Netherworld, which was originally filled with maternal compassion, was instantly shrouded in a cold and murderous aura.
Just like in an instant, the vibrant spring turned into an endless cold winter. Everything was frozen and the frost lasted for a long time. All life was integrated into the silent eternal darkness. It was simply a desperate place where there was no return. No matter who came, they would all die.
The appearance of the Taoist mother also changed accordingly.
If she was originally like the mother of all things, making people unable to help but throw themselves into her arms, then now he has become the father of the end. All maternal mercy has been cut off, and only the majesty and severity that belong only to a father remains.
A beard grew on his face, and two deep wrinkles appeared on his moon-like face. These two wrinkles made him look intimidating without even showing any anger, and made people afraid to approach him.
His long hair began to be combed neatly, and finally became a neatly-tied Taoist cap on his head. His clothes were extremely neat, without any mistakes or wrinkles. From a distance, he looked like a scholar.
But in just a moment, the Taoist Mother had become the Taoist Father.
Looking at the gods who were unwilling to come here, the Taoist priest said solemnly: “I have now turned over a new leaf and am willing to reconcile with you and turn hostility into friendship. Why are you unwilling to come and talk with me? Do you look down on me?”
Seeing that the Taoist Father’s true colors were finally revealed, the Taoist Mother Huaguang, who was the sister of the Red Emperor, finally arrived.
I saw a ray of fire streaking across the dark night, and a goddess of fire slowly appeared.
In addition to herself, the Black Emperor’s companion, the Water Queen, the Human Emperor’s direct disciple, the Human King’s Mother, and the Mother of All Spirits also came together, which is equivalent to a total of four Taoist mother goddesses coming together.
As for the Mother of Dreams, she has already turned into an invasion channel for the Immortal Path. The Mother of Sky, the Mother of the Moon, and the Mother of Stars have also gone to the Immortal Path. As for the Mother of Earth, she was still a little worried, so she did not come.
In fact, it is equivalent to all the Taoist mother gods coming together. Such a camp will be respected by everyone wherever it goes, even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. This is already a great honor for the Taoist Mother.
Seeing the four Taoist Mother Goddesses coming, a smile finally appeared on the majestic face of the Taoist Father. The original cold and murderous aura slowly dissipated, and was replaced by a gentle fragrance like the fragrance of spring flowers.
“That’s good. Why do you have to make me angry? Can’t we just get along peacefully?” Taoist Father said with a smile, and there was uncontrollable greed in his eyes when he looked at the four Taoist Mother Goddesses.
This greed was so obvious that the four mothers had already noticed it. Among them, the Holy Mother of the Human King was the youngest and had not experienced the disaster of the Goddess in the past. She was also the least afraid of the Taoist Father.
Seeing this look, disgust flashed across the beautiful face of the Human King Holy Mother: “I don’t care whether you are called Dao Father or Dao Mother, but since you are dead, you should know that the present is different from the past.
Now that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are all here, it is no longer the era when only the Heaven and Earth Sovereigns existed. If you dare to make a mistake again, be careful or I will ask the Human Sovereign to crush you to death!”
Her voice was very clear and pleasant, like the sound of nature, resonating with all kinds of voices. In a trance, countless shadows could be seen emerging behind her, almost the appearance of all the tribes in the ancient world today.
She is the Holy Mother of the Human King and once gained the trust of Luohou and obtained all his creation skills. So she took this as a basis and with the help of the Mother Palace Ball of the Mother of Heaven, she once again created countless new races.
The current ruler of the Human Emperor’s Palace is the Human King. Years of being bossed around have made it impossible for her to bow her head even once, let alone want to, because it would only lose the face of the Human Emperor.
Seeing that this little girl actually dared to speak to her like this, a trace of anger flashed in the Taoist father’s eyes. This anger seemed to have substance and actually began to burn fiercely. In an instant, it turned into a sea of fire, and finally turned into nine slender dragons, opening their mouths to bite the Holy Mother of Human King.
Seeing that the legendary Taoist father had only this much ability, a sneer flashed across the face of the Human King Holy Mother. Then she stretched out a slender finger, and an inexplicable breeze passed by, and an invisible force was revealed.
Just like all things becoming spirits, an inexplicable spirituality slowly came, and finally, like a veil, gently draped over the nine dragons.
Affected by this spirituality, these nine dragons, which should have had magical powers, actually had a little bit of spiritual light in their eyes.
It was not the aura of the Great Dao bestowed by the Taoist Father, but the real aura of nature. It was like turning death into truth, as if it had truly become a living thing, no longer having the dead feeling as before.
And this is the unique skill of the Human Emperor Palace, which is to enlighten all things and create vitality. In the eyes of the people in the Human Emperor Palace, nothing is without life, all things have spirituality, even the magical powers.
The nine divine dragons were infected by this spirituality and immediately turned around, opened their mouths and bit the Taoist father, completely disregarding the previous favor between master and servant. It was simply a supreme magical power of using the opponent’s force to fight back.
“Father Dao, today’s era is no longer the same as the past. If you view this world from the perspective of the old times, sooner or later you will fall into a deeper death until you can no longer be resurrected and completely become a part of the Great Dao.”
The Holy Mother of the Human King spoke lightly in an almost chanting voice, with a look of confidence on her face. It was obvious that she did not think that the Taoist Father was a scary existence.
Against the backdrop of the blazing fire, Taoist Father’s expression looked even more majestic and solemn, as if he had anticipated this and was not surprised at all.
He even agreed with what the Human King Mother said, and nodded, “You are right, the only thing that does not change in the world is change itself, but even though I am dead, I have never left.
My body is not here, but my heart and my eyes are always paying attention to this place. Do you think I don’t know the magic of creation in this human palace? Then you underestimate me too much.
Or rather, I have been changing, and I have not stopped even after I died, while you have been alive but have remained complacent, looking down on me and thinking that I am still the same as before.”
As he spoke, the Taoist Father gently stretched out a finger, and a ball of immortal spirituality appeared at the fingertips. He actually used this as a basis and touched the faces of the nine divine dragons in turn.
The Human King Mother, who had been confident of victory, suddenly changed her expression, because the spirituality that originally belonged to her alone was now being plundered by a more terrifying force.
These nine divine fire dragons had originally been controlled by the Holy Mother of the Human King, but as the Taoist Father gradually tightened his fingers, the majestic spirituality in the dragons’ eyes was replaced by a new spirituality, which was the spirituality unique to Tao.
This spirituality of Tao even invaded the spirituality of the Human King in turn, using this as the source of contact, and began to gradually infect the Human King Holy Mother.
After noticing this change, the Holy Mother of the Human King was horrified. The shadows of all the races in the world flashed across her body in an instant. The spirits of all the races were summoned by her and turned into a vast and endless river, which began to continuously wash away the spirituality of Tao.
Compared with this long river of spirituality, spirituality seems particularly insignificant, like a stone in the middle of the river, as if it can be washed away by just a touch of the river.
But this spirituality, as tiny as a stone, has been constantly washed by thousands of waves, still standing proudly and independently, not afraid of any storms and waves, leaving only its pride in the world. Then this spirituality of the Great Dao turned again, and directly changed from a large stone in the middle of the river into a small koi. With the swing of its tail, it went straight through the heavy waves and headed straight to the end of the river.
Just with these simple moves, the Taoist Father and the Holy Mother of Mankind were able to determine who was superior and defeat you in the area where you are best. There is nothing in the world more despairing than this.
Seeing that the Holy Mother of the Human King was about to fall into the control of the Taoist Father, the Holy Mother of All Spirits finally couldn’t bear it anymore.
The mysterious Taoist mother goddess took a step forward, her eyes and brows showing a tranquil and calm expression. She blew her rosy lips slightly, and a long and graceful breath immediately flowed out, directly dissolving the spiritual power of the Tao.
When the Human King Holy Mother got the chance, she immediately pulled away, her face filled with horror, and it was obvious that she had not yet recovered from what had happened before.
This Taoist Mother has been sealed for such a long time, but instead of showing any sign of desolation, she has become stronger and stronger. She even knows the unique skills of the Human Emperor so well. It is truly terrifying.
Seeing that someone familiar had finally taken action, Father Dao’s eyes flashed with admiration: “Not bad, Wan Ling, you are indeed getting stronger and stronger. I just didn’t expect that you, who was most likely to succeed the God of Rebellion and become the Human Emperor, would now submit to others.”
Facing the words of the Taoist Father, the Holy Mother of All Spirits did not make too many comments, but just said: “It’s just the trivialities of the past. There is no point in talking about it now, and it’s boring to mention it.
The reason why we have joined forces today is to resolve this matter of yours. Father and Mother Dao, now that you are resurrected, what exactly do you want?
Do you want to create your own path, become a free and easy cultivator, or join an emperor? If you are willing, the Human Emperor Palace welcomes you.”
The words of the Holy Mother of All Spirits were not shocking. She came here to recruit Dao Mu, the ancient goddess killer, without ever thinking about what would happen if she died at her hands.
Although the Holy Mother of Human King was full of resentment, she did not refute the words of the Holy Mother of All Spirits.
In the Human Emperor Palace, although she is the current Human King, the Holy Mother of All Spirits is a powerful being recruited by the Human Emperor himself. This Holy Mother is the real leader of the Human Emperor, and both the Human King and the Holy Mother must obey her words.
Moreover, the Human Emperor is the one who created all spirits and the Mother of All Spirits is named after all spirits. It is still unknown what kind of relationship they have with each other. Naturally, the Human King and the Mother of All Spirits respect each other very much.
As for Hua Guang Dao Mu, she also said: “Although the Fire Palace was taken away and the starry sky was half destroyed, we are now planning to rebuild a new sky. If Dao Mu is willing to join us, then you will also be the ancestor of the starry sky in the future.”
The Water Queen also spoke, and her words and deeds were still meant to win over the other party.
Seeing that these people actually dared to recruit him, the Taoist Father also smiled. As his smile bloomed, his original cold and murderous aura turned into gentleness. The jade crown on his head spontaneously dispersed and turned into long hair draped over his shoulders again. His face became gentle again, and it was obvious that he had turned back into the Taoist Mother.
Dao Mu smiled and said, “Are you trying to recruit me? Could it be that you have made preparations to kill me together, and are just pretending to be nice?”
The Holy Mother of All Spirits said calmly: “There is no need for us to pretend to be nice. If we want to kill you, we can just gather all the gods and kill you together. This is the grand strategy.
You are indeed immortal, and you can see the world through the Great Dao, but you are not there in person, so you naturally cannot experience it firsthand. The times have changed a lot.”
The Taoist Mother didn’t believe it and sneered, “Times have changed? How have they changed? It’s just an invasion. What kind of times have changed? I have even witnessed the war between enlightened people.
Several enlightened ones were completely entangled with each other, and their paths also became inseparable. They were caught in the ultimate battle and would be tied together until death.
Compared with this war between the enlightened ones, what is the invasion of the immortals? It is just a boring war, which will end sooner or later, unless the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are willing to fight to the death with the saints. “
Facing these words, the Holy Mother of All Spirits only sighed softly: “The invasion of the Immortal Dao Primordial Wilderness is just superficial, and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are now determined to fight to the death.”
Upon hearing this, no matter how confident the Taoist mother was, she couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.
That was a life-and-death battle for those who had attained enlightenment!
Every enlightened person is a miracle in the heavens and the worlds, even a miracle among miracles, a wonder of the world that cannot be replicated.
If the existence of Daluo can still be traced, then the appearance of those who have achieved enlightenment is unpredictable to everyone, as if from the moment they appear, they are destined to achieve the Great Dao.
Therefore, such beings, generally speaking, will try to reduce contact as much as possible, unless they already know each other. Otherwise, if they get too close, not to mention what kind of chaos it will cause, if there are some disputes between them, it will also cause a situation of dispute.
A fight to the death is what all those who have attained enlightenment are most unwilling to accept.
Even Daluo has been able to achieve immortality and neither increase nor decrease, let alone those who have achieved the status of Hunyuan Daluo.
Existences like these can be said to be unable to die even if they want to. Each one of them is equivalent to a complete avenue, and every time they take action, it is equivalent to the complete avenue showing its power.
The Tao is invisible, so even if there is occasionally a chaotic situation in the Tao, it can always be resolved in the end. This is the reason.
But the enlightened one is tangible, and the Tao that possesses the enlightened one is also tangible. If two tangible Taos are entangled with each other, it will not be so easy to separate them again.
Just like the previous battle between the saints of the heavens and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, more than a dozen tangible avenues were tightly entangled and fell into a state of anxiety. It was not that they did not want to fight, but they were afraid of being entangled to death.
If the Great Dao becomes entangled, it means that the two enlightened beings have decided to die together. They will always be entangled with each other and fight each other madly. They will not be able to pay attention to the outside world and will only focus on their opponents.
In a situation like this, unless both parties think it through and are willing to resolve the conflict, they will remain entangled.
But the most crucial thing is that no one who has achieved enlightenment will think that he is wrong. To admit his own mistakes is equivalent to admitting that the Tao has made a mistake, which is something no one can accept.
In the end, the two stubborn bulls fought each other, their horns connected, and finally fell into the deepest part of the heavens and myriad worlds, never to appear again. It was not that they could not appear, but that they did not want to appear.
The Mother of Tao once witnessed two enlightened beings falling into the deepest part of the heavens and myriad worlds. It was an extremely terrifying sight.
But if a dozen or so enlightened beings were to fight to the death, the impact would be so great that all the worlds would be destroyed!
