My Hair Can Create a Demon Country-Chapter 447 - 433: I Will Decay First
The Celestial Venerables revealed expressions of shock.
Is there a prehistoric manipulator wanting to destroy our era??
This is a fact.
But for them, it was indeed terrifying.
However, for Yuan Shou, Immortal Celestial Venerable, and others, there’s not enough time to gradually progress like history; they can only hasten the process.
"What do you mean?" asked all the Celestial Venerables.
"The origin of the other party is..." Tang Meng swept his gaze around, knowing that ancient existence is probably hiding among these Celestial Venerables, pretending to be innocent, indistinguishable from its true form.
Soon, Tang Meng explained the origin of the other party,
coming from prehistory, escaping to this era,
and then taking advantage of reincarnation, cultivating much faster than the geniuses of this age; before the Celestial Venerable Realm reached the seventh level, it arrived at the Cosmic Membrane early, plundering rules everywhere.
The rules of the universe are not limited to this number.
With various explanations, they managed to articulate the other’s origins clearly!
However, they did not mention that they, too, came from prehistory, fleeing to this era... they only said they sensed the existence of this manipulator.
"I see."
Each Celestial Venerable was half-believing, half-doubting.
Tang Meng said, "Fellow Celestial Venerables, just keep it in mind. In any case, accelerating the development of the era is not wrong.... In the future, all of you will be the Heavenly Dao Saints in this ’game.’ In this game, ancient gods and all players can worship you, spend in-game currency, and receive your blessings."
The Celestial Venerables nodded,
Indeed, although what was said was unbelievable, no matter what, striving for development is never wrong.
....
....
Crack.
Time flew by.
The entire universe’s rules began to fully complete.
The entire universe seemed to have completely become an immortal paradise,
where no one would perish,
because after the universe’s rules were changed, all life on planets, galaxies, and star clusters would only be born in the "Underworld" outside the universe.
This life was termed "True Spirit."
True Spirits would reincarnate through the Underworld into the universe, akin to wearing a virtual helmet and engaging in successive virtual lives.
However, the Celestial Venerables quickly realized that not all beings should retain the memory of their past lives when reincarnating!
After all, with billions on a single planet remembering who they were in their past lives, it would be like a bustling beginner’s village planet, creating too much chaos!
The universe faced its greatest cycle of turmoil,
"Mortals shall not remember their past lives, start anew. Only in the Underworld will everything be known!"
Thus, the thirty-three Celestial Daoist Monarchs began to reorganize the Underworld’s order, constructing the Bridge of Helplessness, Three Lives Stone, and Meng Po Soup, ensuring that 99.9999% of the universe’s beings would not remember who they were in past lives.
Only when they reincarnate through the Underworld can they use the Three Lives Stone to glimpse past and present lives.
Thus, in the whole universe, only a small number of Saints, Celestial Venerables, those highest beings could remember memories of past lives and begin reincarnation in the universe.
Time flew by, and another five thousand years passed.
These Celestial Venerables and Saints, through continuous "reincarnation" style of severing their thoughts, continually cultivated rules, and their realms began to madly advance, approaching perfection.
But, changes also secretly occurred.
The beings unintentionally discovered that by intercepting the reincarnated bodies of the Celestial Daoist Monarchs with enlightenment, they could obtain the other’s power.
After all, the reincarnations of the Monarchs were akin to weakened versions of demonic thoughts, and by intercepting these, naturally, they could gain a fraction of the Celestial Venerables’ power.
Just like they previously obtained from the Demon Venerable, they could gain the rule power of these Celestial Venerables.
"Intercept Saint!"
"Act for the heavens!"
"Attack them, we shall replace them, and gain eternal life."
Players from various planets began attempting to intercept those reincarnated bodies from the Underworld.
The first to be intercepted and die were some Saints, who were constantly divided and ultimately died out altogether.
With such incidents emerging, another Celestial Venerable meeting was convened,
Bailong looked calm as he observed the gathered Celestial Venerables, "What’s wrong? Just because there’s a potential for being overthrown by common beings, you can’t stay still?"
The other Celestial Venerables looked uncomfortable.
Although theoretically, no one can eternally stand above all, occupying power indefinitely, the immortal is considered the decaying!
However, if it truly comes to this moment, then...
Bailong raised his brows and said, "This is an extremely reasonable cosmic rule, a cyclical turn of fortune, for the capable reside. If one can no longer fulfill the duties of their position, why not allow others to ascend?"
The other Celestial Venerables did not speak.
Some Celestial Venerables couldn’t help but say, "Our talent and intelligence are unparalleled throughout history, incomparable, otherwise, we would not be in this position; but one will age, pass their peak, exhaust their energy, and see their talent wither with the passage of time.... By then, we certainly won’t withstand the young and vigorous, the creative and insightful young ones, we will be overthrown..."
"Indeed, we have contributed immensely to the universe, yet we would be overthrown, and others would enjoy the fruits of our labor..." Some Celestial Venerables hesitantly voiced.
They began to waver.
Indeed, a billion, ten billion, a hundred billion, their energy and talent, and astonishing era-defining abilities would ultimately be exhausted by time, turning into elders with no innovation.
Yuan Shou, Immortal Celestial Venerable, and others exemplify this.
Why did they choose to retreat behind the scenes, entrusting the responsibility of era formation to the younger generation of the Vortex Country, allowing them to establish the Buddhist sect, because they had lost innovation with the times.
Only left with intrigue, plagiarism, and scheming capabilities.
They are representatives of the Decaying Celestial Venerables.
However, at this time, some righteous Celestial Venerables rebuked and countered them, "Yes, by then, we have aged! We have withered! What use is it to still occupy the position? It should be handed over to newcomers to ascend, they are the young new Celestial Venerables!"
"I agree." Another Celestial Venerable spoke, "This is the only rational choice, for the universe’s development and the progression of each civilization."
Bailong glanced around at the Celestial Venerables, two groups of Celestial Venerables arguing with each other.
He knew in his heart that the division had already begun,
some Celestial Venerables were already unwilling to part with power, reluctant to step down,
they began to secretly plot and find ways to seize power, to incite other Celestial Venerables to stand with them, unscrupulously maintaining their rule.
Bailong smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "According to the descriptions of Yuan Shou and Immortal Celestial Venerable, this situation is exactly the same as it was back then, when the universe began presenting them with the possibility of being overthrown, and the Celestial Venerable meetings initiated."
"Some chose to uphold justice, some chose corruption, splitting into two factions, ultimately engaging in mutual slaughter, with me, as the leader of the Vortex Country representing justice, being destroyed."
After all, the corrupt represented the majority...
Will history repeat itself?
Even if they strive to change, telling them of a prehistoric manipulator’s existence, the inertia of history is still present.
"According to history, I, as the Sovereign of the Vortex Country here, would angrily rebuke other hesitant Celestial Venerables, insisting on the universe’s fairness and paradise, causing a complete division."
Bailong took a deep breath, "But history will not repeat itself...."
"Even if I no longer remember my past life, whether I am the Sovereign of the Vortex Country... but at this moment, the Sovereign of the Vortex Country is no longer that upright person, uncompromising to any wrongdoing." Bailong spoke softly, looking at the other Celestial Venerables, he uttered extremely shocking words, smiling:
"Since the Celestial Venerables do not wish to be overthrown, then we shall cut off any possibility of being overturned, and remain eternally exalted."
He uttered the most corrupt words, leaving everyone in shock.
