Chapter 416
416 Time for backup
From their previous conversation, Lu Qing had already believed that the person in front of him was a piece of information that Lu Huan had left behind. Lu Qing had also followed the other party’s train of thought and considered what the other party had said.
However, his so-called trust was only at 60 – 70%. No matter what, this fellow had suddenly appeared. No matter how true her words were or how reliable her methods of obtaining trust were, Lu Qing could not trust her without any reservations. He had to be a little wary of her.
Through self-examination, he basically confirmed that his mind had not been invaded, and what was in front of him should not be an illusion.
However, Lao Ai did not forget that he was in an abyss!
In this terrifying place, nothing would be strange. It had broken through his own mental defenses and affected him without him being able to detect the problem. This kind of ability sounded very scary and even a little unbelievable, but there was always someone better than him. Who knew if some high-level Big Shot had his eyes on him?
But now, this guy was talking about how important the world lock was and how much the immortals had paid in the past. It even continued to absorb the world’s Origin Energy, which greatly increased the difficulty of cultivation for the cultivators in the future. Even the geniuses of the present era could only touch the Dharma power and could not go further. The upper limit of the world lock’s power was controlled, and the ceiling of cultivation became so low.
The world lock that was created at such a high price was now going to be unlocked?
Lu Qing could not be blamed for thinking that the other party was a liar.
Lu Huan smiled and continued to explain, ” “I just told you that the world lock is two-sided. The lock is already on the verge of breaking, and it can’t contain the gods anymore, but it’s still absorbing the world’s Origin Energy.”
At this point, he looked up at the dark red Sky of the abyss and said with a sigh, ” the world lock has protected the origin world for tens of thousands of years. Its mission has come to an end. The current world will have to rely on itself.
Lu Qing was a little speechless.
moreover, even if we don’t do anything, the decaying world lock won’t last much longer.
perhaps, in 30 years, the world lock will be completely destroyed. At that time, the gods and demons will launch another large-scale invasion.
“Hehe, goodbye.”
Lu Qing laughed coldly and prepared to leave.
30 years? What kind of joke is this!
If he only had 30 years, it would be too late. Even if all the world’s locks were opened now and the upper limit of the world’s power was completely released, what could 30 years do?
Thirty years was a very long period of time for mortals. It was even possible that two generations had already passed.
But in the world of cultivators, 30 years was like the snap of a finger.
Even if the speed of cultivation increased greatly, and more foundation building, initial enlightenment, and golden core cultivators could be cultivated in thirty years, what was the use? As a top-tier cultivator, this amount of time was not enough to do anything. Right now, in the entire cultivation world, there were less than 20 Dharma adepts in all of the nine great celestial nations.
How many Dharma powers could he increase in 30 years? At most, if one were to think optimistically, it would be at most ten times the number. Many at the peak of the nascent Soul Stage who were stuck at the Dharma stage might be able to break through to the Dharma stage after the World lock was unlocked. And among the 20 Dharma powers, even the most optimistic one only had a 50% chance of entering the divine sea realm?
But even with such an optimistic attitude, when the time came, the overall strength of the origin world would only be like this.
And after tens of thousands of years, when the gods and devils descended again, how could this kind of power Stop them? Back in the primordial era, many Immortals led the way, including many cultivators at the divine sea stage and the dongxu stage. In the end, they could only barely drive the gods and demons out of this world at the cost of the destruction of the primordial civilization.
If what the self-proclaimed Lu Huan had said was true, then Lu Qing didn’t need to do anything. He would immediately return to the origin world. What the hell was cultivation? he should eat and drink to his heart’s content for 30 years. After 30 years, he would just wash his neck and wait for death.
No, maybe he could think about it. Did heavenly gods or evil demons accept people who sought refuge with them?
It seemed to be a collection, but it had to be transformed. After the transformation, the divine soul and physical body would still be the same, but the mind would be instilled with the will of the heavenly God or evil demon.
The will of the gods belonged to absolute rationality, absolute order, and absolute obedience. There was no room for independent thinking, and everything was done according to the order of the gods. Lu Qing had experienced the will of a sinister devil before. It was the feeling of being invaded by a sinister force, and all kinds of desires were madly magnified. Once they couldn’t resist it and their mental defense line was destroyed, humans would be completely controlled by various strong desires, and that would be demonic.
Sigh, he might as well be dead then.
Lu Qing was extremely pessimistic.
Lu Huan smiled again.
“No need to think that way.” He seemed to know what Lu Qing was thinking. didn’t I say that I have a way? ”
“What is it?”
you can return to the primordial era and delay the invasion of the gods and devils.
“What’s this?” Lu Qing doubted his own ears.
Lu Huan did not answer Lu Qing’s question directly. Instead, he brought up another matter, ” “Do you know who I am?”
didn’t you call yourself Lu Huan? ”
that’s right, but I have another name. I’m lu Qing.
“Zhenzhen, we have the same name?” Lu Qing’s mouth cracked open and he gave a fake smile. However, he had another thought in his mind.
“I’m from earth, a world you’re very familiar with. After I made a grave mistake, I used all my strength to do two things. Creating a world lock is the first, but I can imagine that after tens of thousands of years, it won’t be able to protect this world forever. So, I did the second thing, which was to send me, who had not yet arrived in this world, tens of thousands of years later. At the same time, I placed the last seed of my power into him in a way that I could understand the most when I was still on earth.”
Lu Qing’s throat vibrated, and his voice became a little dry. you mean that we are the same person? ”
no, we used to be one, but we are completely different now.
Lu Qing took a long time before he slowly understood what Lu Huan meant.
They used to be the same person. This meant that they were both Lu Qing in the past. They were the Lu Qing on earth. Later on, Lu Huan came to the cultivation world. With all kinds of efforts, he created the path of immortality and became the pioneer and leader of the entire cultivation world.
Later on, Lu Qing came to this world and became an ordinary member of the cultivation world tens of thousands of years later. He gradually cultivated until he activated the ‘system’ after his death, which was the power left behind by Lu Huan. That was the story of the past hundred years.
Although they shared the same past, they had different experiences and had different developments. They would also have different futures. In other words, Lu Huan no longer had a future, but Lu Qing still had one.
Lu Huan did not think that Lu Qing was him. In fact, Lu Qing also found it difficult to think that the Lu Huan before him was him.
Wait, Wuwu
Lu Qing’s head was about to hurt as he thought about the questions such as ‘you are me’ and ‘who am I’.
He waved his hand and said,”forget it, who cares!” Let’s talk about serious matters! If you have this kind of ability, why don’t you send yourself back? And you have to send me, who was still on earth and had never come into contact with the immortal Dao, here?”
“Because I can’t do it. Sending you, who has no power in your body, here already consumes too much power. I can’t send someone who has already embarked on the path of immortal Dao to the future.”
“Then can’t Yingluo just choose anyone? Why must it be me?”
“Because it can only be you. Only those who did not belong to this world would not be affected by the cause and effect of this world. They would not bear any negative karma and be sent to the future. I can’t contact Earth anymore and I can’t find another Earthling. I can only turn back time and send you here.”
“Alright, Qianqian, I roughly understand what you mean. Qianqian, what do you mean by returning to the ancient times to stop the gods and demons?”
“That is the most crucial part of my plan.”
Lu Huan explained his plan, ”
“You must know two principles. The past can influence the future.”
Of course, the past could affect the future. If a stone was thrown out in one second and it hit the ground in the next, wasn’t this affecting the future?
Can’t change?
“Based on these two principles, I did one thing: He had extracted the time between the invasion of the gods and the demons and the end of the immemorial war, made a special backup, and connected it with the future. This way, the time that is backed up can be affected, and the changes in the past will affect the future.”
you can go back to the time I backed up, fight the gods and demons, kill them, and finally affect the future.
Lu Qing was a little stunned when he heard this. wait a minute. Does Qianqian mean that if I travel back to the ancient times and stop the gods and demons, the real world will change? ” There won’t be any more invasion of gods and devils?”
“You can think of it that way, but it’s still a little different. If you randomly kill a demon or a heavenly God inside, it will have some impact on the future, reducing the number of invading demons by one.”
“However, it needs to be made clear that whatever you do inside will only have a partial impact on the future. For example, if you had stopped me from connecting with the gods and demons, it would have greatly affected the future, but you wouldn’t have been able to completely change it. ”
“In essence, it’s actually a backup of the past to influence the future, but it can’t completely stop the future. After all, this period of time is only a backup and not the real past.”
Lu Qing pondered for a while and roughly understood what he meant. you mean, what I did during my backup time will delay the time of the next invasion and reduce the intensity? ”
“That’s right.”
“To what extent?”
if you lead all the backup time to a good ending, then the invasion of the gods and demons will be pushed back by 10000 years, and the intensity will be reduced by 70%.
This was great news. However, Lu Qing immediately thought of another problem.
that’s not right. With my current strength, it’s already good enough for me to reach the late Dharma stage in 30 years. Even if I grow a little faster and reach the divine sea stage, I’ll go to the ancient era where Immortals are everywhere. How can I solve the problem? ”
what are you thinking? I don’t have the ability to stuff the entire Millennium war into a time backup.
“There are still many more?”
I’ve divided the entire one thousand years into time fragments, a total of 13447.
Lu Qing was dumbfounded. How can he fight over this?”
He felt a little uncomfortable.
The shards that could be obtained at the start would definitely be fewer due to the problem of strength. Moreover, the level would not be high enough, and the influence would be small. No matter how long each fragment could last, Yingluo might not be able to delay it for too long. The 30 years ‘time limit was almost up!
“You don’t have to fight alone. Anyone who can be included in your system, whether it’s a family system, a sect system, or a country system, can be selected and enter the time fragment. However, each time fragment can only allow a limited number of people to enter.”
“These time fragments are of different sizes. Some of them are important, while some of them are relatively less important. Every time we get rid of one and obtain a positive outcome, it will have an impact on the future world.”
however, you have to be careful that there is only one time fragment for each time fragment. If you don’t get a positive ending, this time fragment will end and there will be no second chance. So, you have to be careful.
Lu Huan explained a lot of information in one go. After Lu Qing heard it, he did not say anything immediately. Instead, he thought about it carefully.
He really needed some time to digest all these things.
However, no matter what, after knowing about the past and the future, as well as the backup of time, Lu Qing felt that the future was not that unbearable.
At the very least, his future was promising.
“You’ll have a lot of time to think about it later, but I don’t have time.” Lu Huan said, ” I’ve said it before. I have no future. My future is in your hands. I’ve already told you all that I can. It’s up to you to decide how you want to proceed in the future.”
As he spoke, Lu Huan’s body became dimmer and dimmer.
“Eh? Wait a moment!”
Lu Qing shouted. He still had a lot of questions. The key was that he was not confident and needed more information to calm his mind.
However, his shouts were obviously useless. He could not stop Lu Huan from disappearing.
Just as Lu Huan’s body completely disappeared, two new system messages popped up before Lu Qing’s eyes.
[ access to the time backup system has been activated. ]
[ you have obtained the authority to unlock the world. ]
