Chapter 242 Heaven's Will? 36 The Transformation of the Heavens!
From these, we can see that the underlying logic of the Great Calamity is the "balancing technique" of the Heavenly Way. To be more precise, the Heavenly Way has no consciousness, only the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. The essence of the Great Calamity is a kind of self-repair and energy conservation of the Heavenly Way.
That is, the reckoning of cause and effect, the struggle for destiny, and the game of sages!
The process of karmic reckoning involves the consumption of spiritual energy by living beings in their cultivation, the accumulation of karma through killing, and the eventual "formatting" of karma when the karmic burden exceeds the capacity of the Heavenly Dao.
The struggle for destiny refers to the excessive occupation of destiny by a clan or sage, which leads to an imbalance in the Heavenly Way. The Great Tribulation uses war to reduce the dominant forces and redistribute resources.
The game of sages is a game played by sages after Hongjun merged with the Dao, when the Dao of Heaven became the highest rule. Although sages are immortal, they must follow the arrangements of the Dao of Heaven. The great calamity becomes a "chessboard deduction" among sages.
It is not hard to see that from the moment Pangu transformed into the primordial world, the Great Tribulation was an inescapable destiny for the primordial world.
Heaven is ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs; the sage is without benevolence, using the common people as bargaining chips.
The Journey to the West and the End of Dharma after the Investiture of the Gods are merely another move in the game of Heaven's Way—ultimately, everything returns to chaos, only for the beginning of the next cycle of reincarnation.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the Way of Heaven has no self-awareness!
After all, the essence of the primordial calamities is the self-repair and energy conservation of the Heavenly Dao. When karma accumulates too much, when the struggle for fortune becomes unbalanced, and when sages interfere with cause and effect, the Heavenly Dao, in order to ensure the "balance" of the primordial world, will naturally initiate one calamity after another based on its instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.
In this situation, even if the Heavenly Dao is "flawed", the primordial world can still continue to develop.
However, if the Heavenly Dao were to develop self-awareness, its essence would be entirely different!
What is consciousness? Simply put, it is one's own thoughts. Once you have thoughts, you will have your own selfish desires!
If the Heavenly Dao, as the supreme being of the primordial world, were to have its own thoughts and selfish desires, it would be an absolute terror!
This explains why, even though Houtu's awakening of the Earthly Dao was originally a good thing for the prehistoric world, the Heavenly Dao intervened to stop it.
This further explains why, after each great calamity in the primordial world, the world not only did not achieve that "formatted" clarity, but instead the spiritual energy became increasingly thin, and the living beings became increasingly weak. In fact, during the Great Calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, the entire primordial world was shattered!
This is not some kind of balancing act or seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune; it is clearly an absolute control over the primordial world!
The conversation between Hongjun and Yangmei, though brief, revealed a shocking secret of the prehistoric world!
It's a pity Zhao Gongming wasn't here, otherwise we could have made even more connections, such as the lingering remnant of the Qiankun Cauldron...
At this moment, Zixiao Palace fell into boundless silence. After a long while, Yang Mei asked with some reluctance, "Is it possible that you've misperceived?"
After saying that, Yang Mei gave a self-deprecating laugh. How could Hongjun, who is connected to the Heavenly Dao, be mistaken?
So he changed his question and asked, "When did you first sense it?"
"The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, the day when the disciples of the Chan Sect broke through the Ten Deadly Formations of the Jie Sect."
Hongjun replied, a hint of confusion showing on his otherwise expressionless face.
If consciousness gradually emerges after a series of eons and under the cycle of the Heavenly Dao, he can understand it.
But on that very day, the Heavenly Dao suddenly underwent a dramatic change, as if something had appeared and suddenly activated the Heavenly Dao.
This question had been troubling Hongjun for a long time, but he could never have predicted that that day would be the day Zhao Gongming's soul transmigrated!
It can be said that the heavens evolve into the forty-nine, and everything has cause and effect and is uncertain.
Without mentioning Hongjun and Yangmei's next plans.
In chaos.
"Boom!"
As the nine thousand two hundred streams of chaotic energy struck Zhao Gongming, a powerful aura of a second-level Grand Luo Golden Immortal suddenly erupted!
"Is this the chaotic world?!"
Zhao Gongming's eyes were bright. He had only been in the Chaos World for a short time, but he had already used the air currents here to advance his physical body to the next level. If this were in the Primordial World, he would not know how many innate spiritual roots he would have had to consume!
The dimensions of this world are simply unimaginably high!
"The chaotic energy here is no longer sufficient for me to further hone my physical body. Next, I can go further in, searching for chaotic opportunities while using the more powerful energy to hone my skills."
Zhao Gongming stood up, activated the Chaos Divine Eye, and walked into the depths of chaos. Under the protective azure light, he directly shattered the chaotic energy in the way, demonstrating the terrifying power of his dual physical body!
After all, those chaotic currents could have harmed him before.
"Um?"
He hadn't gone far when a shattered, chaotic divine mountain blocked his way.
The sacred mountain was almost shattered by some force, with only wisps of grayish-white mist emanating from some cracks in the rocks, exuding a powerful primordial aura.
"This is... the origin of chaos?"
Zhao Gongming's eyes lit up. The energy contained in this source was many times purer than the primordial source. Just a single rock was almost comparable to a divine mountain in the primordial world!
Although these chaotic divine mountains are already broken and dilapidated, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. If they devour the remaining chaotic essence within them, their strength will increase dramatically!
Although these chaotic divine mountains are already broken and dilapidated, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. If they devour the remaining chaotic essence within them, their strength will increase dramatically!
Thinking this, Zhao Gongming had a thought, and the Thirty-Six Heavens Worlds appeared around him, emitting a terrifying suction force, constantly drawing out gray-white light from the mountains.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the Thirty-Six Heavens roared with deafening force, and their auras began to surge wildly!
The ultimate vast world!
The ultimate limit of the vast universe!
Half a step into the primordial world!
Zhao Gongming braved the chaotic energy flow and continued forward, devouring the chaotic essence within the broken mountains, rivers, and giant trees. In less than ten years, he advanced the Thirty-Six Heavens World to the level of a half-step Origin World!
Thirty-six half-step primordial worlds, the power of thirty-six Grand Luo Golden Immortals!
And this is just the beginning. The deeper Zhao Gongming goes into the chaos, the stronger the primal energy he can devour. It is even possible that he can upgrade the Thirty-Six Heavens into Thirty-Six Primal Worlds!
Thirty-six primordial worlds are already the limit of the thirty-six heavens. Being able to unleash the power of thirty-six Primordial Supreme Limitless Golden Immortals, and having it added to his body, is simply terrifying to the extreme!
And so, Zhao Gongming devoured everything in his path, leaving behind only shattered mountains and rivers, broken spiritual treasures, withered chaotic spiritual roots, and the corpses of living beings. As long as they contained a wisp of chaotic origin, he did not let them go and devoured them all into the Thirty-Six Heavens.
Time passed, I don't know how much.
On this day, Zhao Gongming came before a colossal chaotic being. It was a black dragon-like being, its body hundreds of millions of feet long, exuding a terrifying pressure. Its corpse had not decayed even after hundreds of millions of years, and it emanated a pure aura of chaotic origin.
"Devour".
Zhao Gongming calmly opened the Thirty-Six Heavens. He had encountered too many fallen chaotic beings along the way, so he was no longer surprised by this black dragon, which was enormous.
But just as he unleashed the Thirty-Six Heavens, an extremely dangerous instinct suddenly arose in his mind!
