Vol 3 Chapter 5052: The truth of reincarnation

Hou Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe it's God's will in the dark. In fact, before I met you, Shen Daoyou, I couldn't have imagined that I was the reincarnation of Suiren and inherited his primordial fire."
"It is precisely because I have the Suiren's Primordial Spirit Fire Seed in my body that I can successfully activate the God-killing Arrow, shoot down the sky of the star field, and let the field avoid a devastating blow."
"All of this...is a plan that Suirenshi had planned long ago. He knew all this would happen a long time ago, so he chose me as the successor of Tinder."
"As for why those high and mighty beings are so obsessed with letting you save the world, Fellow Daoist Shen, there are no other reasons. They should know that only you can do this."
"Only me..." Shen Lang was silent for a long time.
He has been through so much, and he has long been numb to these things that seem to be destined.
But there was one thing he still couldn't figure out.
"Those sages who could predict future generations have long since perished, why should they care so much about whether the fairy world can survive?" Shen Lang was puzzled.
Even if the fairyland is destroyed, it has nothing to do with the dead.
Why do they care so much, and even try to save themselves?
Hou Yi shook his head: "I can't answer this question for you, but I can tell you some of my conjectures."
"What guess?" Shen Lang asked.
Hou Yi said bluntly: "There is a passage recorded at the beginning of Hetu Luoshu, let me tell you about it with fellow Taoist Shen."
"At the beginning of the universe, good fortune appeared, chaos was born, and the realm was formed."
"However, the cycle of heaven and the cycle, all things return to their roots..."
After finishing speaking, Hou Yi asked back: "Leaving aside the previous sentence for now, I don't know how Daoyou Shen understands the latter sentence?"
Shen Lang thought for a moment, and said: "The cycle of heaven and earth means that the laws of operation of all things can be cycled, and the meaning of reincarnation in the world is endless. This is also an explanation of the laws of heaven and earth."
Hou Yi smiled and said, "That's right, Fellow Daoist Shen understands the first half of the sentence, but do you know what the second half of the sentence 'everything comes to its root' means?"
Shen Lang pondered for a long time, but he didn't understand the meaning of these words, so he shook his head, cupped his fists and said, "I also ask Senior Hou Yi for advice!"
Hou Yi explained: "It comes down to its root, that is, in Suiren's view, all living beings are born from the root, live from the root, die from the root, and return to the root in the end."
"However, the cycle of heaven makes all this happen again and again."
"Based on the cognition of the Suiren's primordial spirit left in my body, I can roughly guess that what Suiren wants to express is that from the birth of the realm and even the chaos, to the destruction of the realm or chaos, all of these are in a reciprocating cycle."
"Perhaps this world is in a reciprocating time hourglass, from birth to destruction, and then from destruction to birth, in a constant cycle."
"All of us, including everything in this world, are caught in this cycle."
"Even if Suirenshi died in the Hunyuan Era, he only needs to ensure that this cycle does not stop. After the destruction of the True Immortal Realm, the world will return to chaos, and the True Immortal Realm may experience a new "Hunyuan Era". Isn't it the same as being resurrected again?"
Listening to these descriptions of Hou Yi, Shen Lang was greatly shocked.
Could it be that the movement of time, the course of history, including his actions to save the real fairy world, are all a cycle of established facts?
He suddenly thought that once upon a time, Zhang Daoling of the ancient spiritual world mentioned the word "Reincarnation Yanji".
A Yanji represents the process from birth to destruction of the True Immortal Realm.
Does the reincarnation Yan Ji refer to the process of the birth and destruction of the real fairy world in a continuous cycle of reincarnation?
Shen Lang thought carefully and was terrified.
According to Hou Yi, everything experienced in the Realm of Immortals from its birth to its destruction is like a movie playing in a loop, with birth at the beginning and destruction at the end.
The end-to-end connection is a cycle.
Shen Lang broke out in a cold sweat suddenly.
Everything Hou Yi said completely broke his cognition, and even made Shen Lang feel a little horrified.
While terrified, he suddenly thought of the first sentence Hou Yi mentioned on the front page of Hetu Luoshu just now.
At the beginning of the universe, good fortune appeared, chaos was born, and boundaries were formed.
Shen Lang hurriedly said: "Senior Houyi, the first sentence you said just now contains the three words 'good fortune', I don't know what is the 'good fortune' mentioned in Hetu Luoshu, and why it can be born out of the realm? "
"Fellow Daoist Shen is worthy of being the Son of the Dao of Heaven, so you can get the point straight!"
Hou Yi first gave a sigh of admiration, then shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't know how to explain the word 'good luck' in Hetu Luoshu, but I can give two conjectures."
"The first conjecture is that 'good fortune' may be the source of the birth of chaos, the birth of realms, and the creation of the rules of heaven and earth."
"The second conjecture is that 'good fortune' may be equivalent to a container that can store time, space, rules, realms, and everything in the world. The container records everything that the human realm has experienced, and it is constantly circulating all of these things. .

Shen Lang was silent for a long time.
The first conjecture is easy to understand, good fortune is the source of everything.
The second conjecture is a little tricky, good fortune is like a CD, time, space, the rules of heaven and earth, and even the entire realm are equivalent to the data stored in the CD.
Naturally, the data cannot be changed, just like the will of God, unless it is the creator of the disc.
Judging from Hou Yi's tone, it is obvious that he is inclined to the second guess.
Shen Lang was extremely distressed and confused: "Could it be that everything I have pursued so far is an established fact?"
Only now did he understand why Zhang Daoling had to say things like "all living beings are being fooled".
Hou Yi sighed: "Perhaps someone as powerful as Suirenshi wants to change everything again and again, so he will try his best to guide you to save the world, and want to find the answer again in the reborn world."
"Another example is the book of prophecy created by the ancestor Hongjun. Perhaps he did not predict the future by means of dreams, but he created the book of prophecy by personally experiencing and knowing what happened in a Yan Dynasty. , just to guide you."
Hou Yi once entered the star realm by accident before the Lich War, and got the prophecy of the catastrophe of the Lich and the light from the sky from the ancestor of Xinghe.
The reason is that the ancestor of Xinghe once spied on the book of prophecy left by the Goddess of Stars.
Because of this, he responded to Shen Lang so decisively, shot the arrow of killing gods, and died of exhaustion in order to defeat Qiongguang.
In fact, the moment he took the god-killing arrow, he sensed his own destiny.
Hou Yi added: "Of course, all of this is my personal conjecture, and it may not be true... There may be many unknown secrets waiting to be discovered behind this."
"I think Taoist Shen doesn't have to worry about whether history is an established fact. What you are looking for is the fact. There is nothing more reassuring than seeing is believing. Everything you do is meaningful. "
Hearing what Hou Yi said, Shen Lang's eyes gradually brightened.
That's right, even if I can't change all of this, if I can witness it with my own eyes, this life is not in vain!
