Chapter 254 Heaven Is the only Chance!
Lu Yuan's face was full of surprise when he saw the sage Tongtian Cult Leader who came hand in hand with his uncle.
He thought that his uncle might report to the sage Tongtian Cult Master after returning to Jiejiao, but he did not expect that Tongtian Cult Master would come in person.
He is not stupid. He can ask the Saint Tongtian Cult Master to come in person. After all the calculations, there is only one possibility.
"Meet the saint!" Lu Yuan bowed and said.
Although he was a little shocked, he was still very happy that the Saint Tongtian Cult Master could appear in front of him.
This shows that the saintly leader Tongtian has realized the seriousness of the matter, and his efforts have finally worked.
Even if he wanted to save a Jie Jiao who was looking for death, he had no way to save him.
The only thing he could do was to protect the people around him as much as possible, such as Yun Xiao, his uncle and his two sisters-in-law.
But if Jiejiao is willing to save itself, in his opinion, Jiejiao actually has great hope, at least it will not destroy the religion.
"I came here this time because I have something to ask you for advice!" Zhao Gongming said.
Naturally, the sage master couldn't ask Lu Yuan for advice, so he, his disciple, could only do it for him and tell them about their predicament.
In fact, this is a cliché, but the difference is that some Jie Jiao disciples have died, which should be enough to alert other Jie Jiao disciples.
"This is hard to say, but it's actually easy to say!" Lu Yuan said after thinking for a moment.
It was said that it was difficult because the calamity was so terrifying that no matter whether it was the dragon, phoenix, or unicorn tribes, or the two lich tribes, they were all defeated.
To put it simply, it is because compared to the previous calamity, Jiejiao has a great advantage, that is, it is a saint.
A saint is almost omnipotent, a truly powerful person who can transcend heaven and earth. Even if he goes through countless calamities, he can remain immortal.
This is an advantage that the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribes cannot possess, and it is also a level that the Lich tribe can only hope to achieve.
Because of this, he always felt that in the Conferring God Tribulation, there were actually many choices to intercept the religion, and it would definitely not lead to the destruction of the religion.
The biggest reason is actually because Jie Jiao never cared about the calamity and was plotted by other saints, which led to his path of no return.
"You are right. Ever since I learned about calamity, I have never really cared about calamity!" Zhao Gongming sighed.
He couldn't help but think of his junior brothers. He always felt that he was going too far with his teachings and deceiving others, and he didn't even realize that he was now in calamity.
What's more, the last time we were on Jin'ao Island, the attitude of the teachers and brothers towards Lu Yuan had already explained everything.
In the final analysis, he still thought that Jiejiao was powerful and had the potential of thousands of immortals to come to court, so he didn't take it seriously even if he was trying to measure the calamity.
"You are right. I also asked my disciples to close the door tightly, but my disciples obviously didn't take it seriously!" Tongtian Cult Leader sighed.
In fact, the root cause should be with him as the master, because his attitude was not strong enough, which led to the current results.
If he were tougher, whoever among his disciples would be expelled from Jiejiao if he dared to interfere in the change of dynasty of the human race, and who would dare to take action casually?
He always thought that he was the master, and no matter how much trouble his disciples caused, he could always protect his disciples with the sword in his hand.
But what Lu Yuan said is right. Now is the period of calamity, and the whole body can be affected by a single move. Things are not that simple.
"I dare to ask the saint, why didn't the saint think about temporarily avoiding the edge and leaving the ancient world?" Lu Yuan asked.
Saints have the ability to create heaven and earth. Even if they leave the ancient world, they can still open up the world and protect their disciples.
In this way, let alone conferring gods to measure the calamity, even if the immeasurable calamity comes and the prehistoric era is destroyed, it will not affect Jiejiao at all.
But the Saint Tongtian Cult Leader seemed to have thought about this possibility. Even if he set up the Immortal Killing Sword Formation and was determined to fight to the death, he never thought of leaving.
"The prehistoric world is different. The rules here are complete and all living beings have the possibility to go further!" said the leader of Tongtian.
The reason is actually very simple. Although saints have the ability to create heaven and earth, the world created by saints is fundamentally different from the prehistoric world.
If the prehistoric world is the sea, the world opened by the saint can only be regarded as a small lake at best.
You cannot breed a real dragon by diving. Only a world with complete enough rules and a large enough scope can cultivate a truly strong person.
He can indeed take his disciples out of the wild world, but his disciples will also lose the possibility of going further.
To stand still for a lifetime without the possibility of going any further is actually worse than death for a monk.
Therefore, even if it was a last resort, he would not consider leading his disciples to leave the wild world.
"I see, I didn't think about this matter. For now, there is only one way!" Lu Yuan said.
The statement of the saint Tongtian Cult Leader is actually not difficult to understand. The world has been opened in his body, and he can quickly understand the truth.
However, this is not impossible to solve. A world opened by one saint may not be nearly as good, but what about a world opened by multiple saints?
Of course, now is not the time to think about this. Even if such a day comes, it will never be during the Conferred God Tribulation Period.
"Heaven?" Leader Tongtian asked.
This is actually not difficult to guess. Judging from Lu Yuan's previous arrangements, Heaven is the most likely possibility. Lu Yuan once said similar things.
For example, his disciple Zhao Gongming is now the Ziwei Emperor in heaven. He holds the power of heaven and has the possibility of escaping from calamity.
But obviously, this is not enough. According to his guess, Lu Yuan definitely does not want one or two disciples of Jiejiao to join the Heavenly Court.
"There is a big difference between being a saint and being on the Conferred God List!" Lu Yuan said.
In the Conferred God Calamity, there are actually two ways to be on the Conferred God List. One is to be on the Conferred God List after death, and the other is to become a saint in the flesh.
It is easy to understand that being on the Conferred God List after death, for example, the Ten Heavenly Lords were killed by Guangchengzi, and a wisp of their soul was on the Conferred God List.
Although being on the Conferred God List in this way can also make you a god in the Heavenly Court, you will be restricted by the Conferred God List.
If you are told to go east, you will never dare to go west. You have to do whatever you are told to do. There is absolutely no freedom.
Moreover, after being on the Conferred God List after death, your own strength will stagnate from then on, and there will be no possibility of any further progress.
The sanctification of the flesh means passing through the Conferred God Tribulation intact, and then being listed on the Conferred God List, and being canonized as a god in the Heavenly Court.
Although there will still be constraints from the Heavenly Court, the constraints are very small, and more of the responsibilities that must be assumed by the authority of the Heavenly Dao.
Moreover, because the flesh is sanctified, even if you are on the Conferred God List, you can still continue to practice and become stronger.
It is even easier to become a god in the Heavenly Court without being on the Conferred God List. There is no constraint on yourself at all, and there is still the possibility of further progress.
In his opinion, most of the disciples of Jiejiao can't escape the Conferred God Tribulation, so it is better to choose the most comfortable way for yourself.
Isn't it going to be on the Conferred God List after death?
I might as well become a god in the Heavenly Court first, and I don't even need to be on the Conferred God List. Isn't this in line with the trend of the Heavenly Dao?
My brother-in-law is the best example. After becoming the Ziwei Emperor of the Heavenly Court, as long as my brother-in-law doesn't seek death, he can definitely survive the Conferred God Tribulation safely.
"You are right, but my disciples are arrogant and I am afraid they are unwilling to enter the Heavenly Palace!" said Tongtian.
This matter is simple to say, but it is related to face, which is equivalent to their Jiejiao choosing to bow to the Heavenly Palace.
Let alone how to preserve the face of a saint, all his disciples are arrogant, how could they agree?
"This matter is also simple, if you are willing, you can enter the Heavenly Palace, if you are not willing, you will be on the Conferred God List!" Lu Yuan said.
This is actually the biggest problem of Jiejiao. In his opinion, no matter where you are, there will always be some people who will seek death.
These people are looking for death, but pulling out the radish brings out the mud, the snowball rolls bigger and bigger, and more and more people are affected.
This is the case with Jiejiao. Often, when a disciple is killed, others want to seek justice, but more and more people die.
In the end, even the saint Tongtian had to go down in person, and finally let the huge Jiejiao disappear.
If these disciples who are looking for death are ignored from the beginning, will the ending of Jiejiao change?
Besides, it is not that he completely ignores these disciples. He has given them the opportunity to choose.
As long as they are on the Conferred God List obediently, at least they will not die. If they don't want to, then they will naturally accept their fate.
"Master, it's time to stop hesitating!" Zhao Gongming said in a deep voice.
Seeing that the Saint Master was silent, how could he not know that the Saint Master was still hesitating at this time.
In fact, he was also hesitating. After all, they were all brothers. Could he really ignore it?
But he also understood that Lu Yuan was right. Some people were looking for death. Would they let more brothers fall into it?
Although Lu Yuan's method could not be said to be perfect, it could at least solve the current predicament of their Jiejiao. It was indeed a feasible method.
Besides, if the Saint Master could take a tough attitude, some people would still seek death, which was equivalent to disobeying the master's order and deserved to die.
"The calamity is not that simple. Someone has to fill the 365 gods on the Conferred God List!" Tongtian Jiaozhu said.
How could he not understand the truth that Lu Yuan could understand?
Originally, he did not realize the seriousness of the matter, but now even his senior brother has personally come to the rescue.
The reason why the calamity is called the calamity is that it needs to cost the death of countless lives before it can be slowly calmed down.
Whether it is the Longhan calamity or the witch and demon calamity, they can actually prove this point.
Lu Yuan's method seems feasible and does have some effect, but the nature of the calamity will not change, and their Jiejiao will still bear the brunt.
It's a very simple truth. Even if their Jiejiao is willing to compromise, his senior brother will never let go of his disciples.
"The saint's concerns are not unreasonable. Since it is a calamity, it is natural to fight one, but first you have to make yourself invincible!"
Lu Yuan's face is full of confidence. If we talk about his understanding of the calamity, he is indeed far inferior to the saint Tongtian.
But his biggest advantage is that he knows foresight. He knows much more about the final result of the Conferred God Calamity than the saint Tongtian.
Judging from the results, the whole process of the Conferred God Calamity is not complicated. There are clues at the beginning.
In the final analysis, in this Conferred God Calamity, it is actually a fight between the Chan and Jie sects, but this does not mean that one of the Chan and Jie sects can win.
Just like in the Longhan Calamity, the dragon, phoenix, and unicorn tribes were the protagonists of the fight, but the final result was that the dragon, phoenix, and unicorn tribes all weakened.
The witch and lich calamity is actually the same. The witch and lich races are the well-deserved protagonists, but the final result is that both the witch and lich races are in decline.
Looking through the appearance to the essence, in the Longhan calamity, the Taoist defeated the demon ancestor Luohou and became the first saint between heaven and earth.
After the witch and lich calamity, when the witch and lich races were both weakened, the human race took advantage of the situation and became the new protagonist of heaven and earth.
The Conferred God calamity is actually the same. Neither the Chan and Jie sects took advantage. The Jie sect disappeared, and the Chan sect also suffered heavy losses.
In the Conferred God calamity, the Heavenly Court began to flourish and became the master of the three realms. It seems to be the biggest winner, but it is not.
The originally weak Western religion became big in the Conferred God calamity, which led to the great prosperity of the Western religion in the future.
On the surface, the Heavenly Court is the biggest winner, but the Western religion is the real winner because it makes a fortune quietly.
He couldn't tell these words to the saint Tongtian, but he could slowly guide them and let Jiejiao slowly have a glimmer of hope.
"You are right. My Jiejiao is connected with the fate of the Shang Dynasty and has lost the first opportunity!" Tongtian said.
At the beginning, it was undoubtedly a correct decision to connect with the fate of the Shang Dynasty, which also created the glory of Jiejiao today.
From now on, it is undoubtedly a wrong decision to connect with the fate of the Shang Dynasty, which makes Jiejiao in a dilemma now.
But no one can predict the future, not even the saints. The way of heaven is changing all the time, and the saints cannot be omniscient and omnipotent.
Therefore, we cannot look at the past decisions with the current perspective. How to save the current situation is the top priority.
In this regard, Lu Yuan is right. First of all, we must make their Jiejiao invincible before there will be other possibilities.
In the Conferred God Calamity, the Heavenly Court is undoubtedly a good choice, just like the Shang Dynasty at the beginning.
The Shang Dynasty was destined to flourish, and Jiejiao helped the Shang Dynasty, so it could reap huge rewards. Now that the Heavenly Court is about to flourish, they can do the same.
"Since the Saint has made a decision, I won't say much, but this matter must be done quickly!" Lu Yuan said.
The Conferred God Calamity has been going on for a while, and now it is a critical moment to race against time, and there is absolutely no room for hesitation.
Only if the Saint Tongtian Sect Master personally does this matter, it is possible to make Jiejiao change in the shortest time.
As long as it does not go against the trend of the Heavenly Dao, this Conferred God Calamity will have great potential, and many of his ideas may also be possible to realize.
"I already understand, tell Haotian that I will go to the Heavenly Court in person soon!" said the Saint Tongtian Sect Master.
Lord Zhao was obviously very excited. In his opinion, since the Saint Master agreed, it was equivalent to a glimmer of hope for their Jiejiao.
If he worked harder, it might not be difficult for all the brothers and sisters of Jiejiao to escape the catastrophe. (End of this chapter)
