Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Qin Muzhou's seriousness made Lu Zhiyao laugh.

"I told you there's no need to be nervous. It's just that now that the situation has settled, I feel free to chat. Just think of it as my parting gift."

Qin Muzhou couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Senior sister, the more you say that, the more flustered I become... What I did this time is deeply despising even to myself. It's just that various internal and external factors entangled me and I couldn't help myself. Senior sister previously "You have to pay the price for what you have done. I have already realized that the senior sister wants to take my life here, so I don't think it's strange."

Lu Zhiyao smiled and said: "I thought you were going to say, 'I am also willing to die.' It took a long time to think about it, and you looked serious, and in the end you just expressed a cheap determination that was worthless... You have this habit It’s easy to be disliked by others when you are practicing dual cultivation. Okay, without further ado, I have two things to tell you. The first thing I told you was when our senior brothers and sisters met for the first time after the Heavenly Tribulation. Yes, do you remember?"

Qin Muzhou was silent for a while and said: "Of course I remember that at that time, the three major families joined forces to reestablish the Immortal Law. However, the new law was inconsistent in every aspect. It was called the Immortal Law, but it was almost a demonic sound. Just in Jingzhou, it was because of the Immortal Law The law was devastated, and hundreds of millions of mortals in the whole state were wiped out in just a few years. Even my family was involved in it, and we had a blood feud with the Bai family... That was when I was most helpless and at a loss. Suddenly he came to me and said that he wanted to end the troubled times and open up a new era. I thought at that time that my senior sister was worthy of being a senior sister. No matter what desperate situation she was in, she would always be high-spirited and move forward bravely. All I could do was follow her... …”

"Okay, let's stop now. I don't want to dwell on the bitter and sweet." Lu Zhiyao stretched out her hand to interrupt Qin Muzhou's confession, "I warned you at the time: in troubled times, indecision is the most taboo. Choose a path and go all out. Practice until the last moment, never look back three times, let alone try to be a faggot. Take what happened just now, since you have decided to lead your family into desolation, why do you have to wait for me here and say goodbye to me? Wouldn't it be better to follow Bai Wuhou back to the Bai family? Unless you want to take advantage of my serious injury and weakness to earn a vote for the Qin family..."

Qin Muzhou quickly said: "I never meant this!"

Lu Zhiyao's face darkened slightly, and she shook her head and said, "You might as well really mean this! Let me tell you, if on the day we meet again after the disaster, you don't follow me to settle the famine, but treat me as a whim, like a hysteric, and fight with me on the spot. Parting ways. Then you will probably be persuaded by Bai Cheng to bear the humiliation and resolve the blood feud between the Qin and Bai families, and then the whole family will become united. Cheng's relationship is that the Qin family is even more worthy of being a secular family. It won't take long for you to become one of the mainstays of the New Heaven. The blood feud between the Qin and Bai families will become your capital for success in the New Heaven."

Qin Muzhou shook his head: "I have never coveted power and interests..."

Lu Zhiyao said: "However, in troubled times, the value of power and interests lies there. It doesn't matter whether you are greedy or not. What is important is that a few years later, I will integrate the power of the five states on the right side of the sky to create the Immortal Alliance. When all directions are desolate and Kyushu is being swept away, as long as you don't charge at the front with Bai Cheng, blocking my way, or commit unforgivable crimes against the will of others, then you are my best candidate for recruitment. If you are willing to surrender peacefully, not only will I not hold you accountable for your actions in the past chaotic years, but I will grant you amnesty so that you and Bai Cheng can live peacefully in the Immortal Alliance. By then, you and your wife will be able to transition there with almost no risk. In the new era, there is even a chance to become the founder of the era. Not only can he enjoy the vigorous vitality of the new era and be protected by the great law, but he can also exclusively enjoy the gifts of the immortal family left in the body from the old era. He will be superior to the ordinary in everything... That will be the first generation except for the first generation. This is a privilege that no one can enjoy except the founder, and that is the best outcome for you."

"Ah...?" Qin Muzhou was stunned for a moment, and then in a daze, and soon closed his eyes and said nothing, as if he had fallen into a wonderful dream.

Lu Zhiyao said: "But you chose to believe me at that time, chose to abandon all comforts, and took risks to accompany me through the most difficult years. So I told you at that time, never hesitate in troubled times, since If you choose, don't change it. Unfortunately, you still couldn't bear the pain and gave up halfway. You can no longer fully win the trust of the three families. After the Qin family is eliminated, you will only be ostracized and suppressed by others until you, the leader of the Qin family. People have their backs broken and are completely reduced to bereft dogs. However, as long as you can stay with Bai Cheng forever, you don't care if your backs are broken, right? , you and Bai Cheng can finally stay together and fly together, and the five elders of the Bai family have indeed agreed to it. "

When Qin Muzhou heard this, he just sighed silently.

Lu Zhiyao smiled and said: "Oh, yes, you should have mentioned me. With your temperament, even if you knew it was futile, you should have fought for my treatment with the five elders. You will probably say that if you submit your clan , can you please treat me lightly for your sake? Or maybe you can also take over some of the tasks of persuading me to surrender, saying that you will be able to persuade me not to be stubborn..."

Qin Muzhou finally couldn't help but said anxiously: "Senior sister, isn't it? Now the foundation stone of the Song family fort to determine the wilderness has been broken, Yanwu can't support a single tree, and the Ningyuan map in Mozhou has no chance of being born. The most important first step in determining the wilderness in all directions If you can't even take a step forward, how will you turn the tide in the future! Even the most junior of the five elders of the Bai family, Bai Wuhou of the Ming Sect, can take away your Yao Sword and make you suffer so much humiliation, why should you disobey? The combined efforts of the three aristocratic families? I know you are stubborn. Even if you were imprisoned by Master for several years, you would never admit your mistakes. But this is no longer the peaceful and happy Lingshan era. Even Master, I will see you again! , I may not be merciful. Senior sister, please wake up!"

Lu Zhiyao's smile did not diminish and she nodded: "You are right to ask, but these questions have actually always existed from the moment you followed me on the road to determine the wilderness. With your intelligence, you must not be the first to ask. It only occurred to me one day, so why didn’t you ask before? Because no matter what the question was before, you would have answered it yourself: As long as you follow Senior Sister, you can overcome any difficulty. "Now, Senior Sister has let you down."

Qin Muzhou's voice was solemn: "No, senior sister, you have always been amazing, and you have never let anyone down. From the devastation after the catastrophe, to the present day, you have created one miracle after another. If it were any other person, It is impossible for me to achieve what you have achieved, so I never regret following you before. If I were alone, even if I followed you to the deep and evil land, I would..."

Lu Zhiyao raised her hand again to interrupt: "Okay, we have parted ways, so don't express these determinations anymore. Then I will talk about the second thing. That is, why do I dare to compete head-on with the three major aristocratic families. On the surface See, I took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the perfect opportunity when the three major families had not yet trusted each other and were full of internal conflicts. There were also strong enemies outside New Heaven, which bought me precious time and space. I took the initiative to recruit and integrate them. The surviving mortal forces in Kyushu have adapted to the broken and restored Heavenly Dao of Kyushu, so they have the capital to compete for a while. But in fact, the truth is not like this. After the fall of Heaven, although nine out of ten immortals died, they survived intact. There are only a few hundred people, and the number of those who have surrendered to the three major families is barely over a hundred... But even if there are only a hundred true immortals, it will be devastating to the Jiuzhou Continent. The five elders of the Bai family have been fighting among themselves for a long time. The Central Committee freed up their hands and focused on Fenghu, but I was directly blocking the water and land spiritual vein node of Fenghu, which was like a thorn in the side of a horse. They actually tolerated it and only sent Bai Wuhou to come forward. Why?"

Lu Zhiyao had just asked Bai Wuhou himself the same question not long ago, so she did not try to hide it anymore, but directly threw the answer in front of Qin Muzhou.

"Because I have an extremely strong backer, so strong that no one dares to make a mistake. Well, stop guessing. The five elders of the Bai family haven't even dared to be somewhat sure about their guesses until now. Those things in your mind The answers are all wrong. My backer is Immortal Ancestor Chicheng."

"!?"

At this moment, time seemed to stand still and thoughts no longer moved.

It took Qin Muzhou a long time to convince himself that the words he just heard were not hallucinations or child's play.

At the same time, as a dream observer, Wang Luo could hardly maintain his attitude of watching indifferently, and almost woke up from his dream.

Lu Zhiyao's backing is sincerity! ? The Immortal Ancestor Chicheng who fell into the deep earth at the beginning of the catastrophe! ?

"About Chicheng, even if it is just a casual conversation, even after his death, it has considerable weight. So I will keep it short to avoid you being unable to bear it. Shortly after my ascension, I spoke loudly and spurned the immortal laws in front of the immortals in heaven. And that night Chicheng found me and talked with me all night. At that time, the fairy world seemed to be flourishing, but in fact it was crumbling, and the fairy law was about to collapse. As the ancestor of the immortals and the incarnation of the fairy law, he had foreseen this thousands of years ago. One day, but for thousands of years, he has never found the way to transcendence. Even though the immortal gate opened several times during this period, and a few destined people in the world ascended to heaven, no one could give him any enlightenment, let alone the answer. The world he described gave him hope. Unfortunately, the beauty of the prosperous age in my heart was almost incompatible with the immortal rules he established. What's more, when the immortal world was seriously ill, a mere mental state was not enough to carry a panacea. There is absolutely no possibility of turning back in the entire Immortal World, so the Heavenly Tribulation is inevitable after all. But after the Heavenly Tribulation, the Immortal World ceases to exist, and both the Heavenly Court and the Immortal Law fall apart... What's more, when the Immortal Ancestor falls into the netherworld. , when there are no bones left, it is equivalent to releasing the shackles that have been entangled for thousands of years, allowing him to pursue a new path of immortality with a new attitude."

Speaking, Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but sigh: "Chicheng Immortal Ancestor was able to take the lead in breaking the shackles of the mortal world in the prehistoric era, and then opened up the immortal world on his own. In fact, he was a radical who was more willing to break the rules and find new ways than anyone else. It's just that he was more willing to break the rules than anyone else. In order to guide the subsequent practitioners, he founded the Heavenly Palace and became the patriarch of everyone. He gradually became middle-aged from a young age, and was no longer free in every move. As the foundation of the three thousand worlds, It is a purgatory that digests all things, but it is also a place of reincarnation that washes away the past. Immortal Ancestor Chicheng died in the underworld and was reborn, and his goal in this life is to wish me to complete the dream-like new world."

At this point in the topic, Lu Zhiyao didn't need to say anything more, Qin Muzhou had already connected countless fragments in his mind.

"So, at the beginning of the Heavenly Tribulation, Senior Sister, you disappeared inexplicably for a long time... You went deep into the deep earth with the Immortal Ancestor and brought him back to Kyushu."

Lu Zhiyao said: "Yes, only the souls of the living can bring the dead who have fallen into the netherworld back. However, the situation of the Immortal Ancestor is particularly different. For people in this world, especially those who are bathed in the Immortal Law For a heavenly being under the gift, even just a fragment of his existence is too tall. Not to mention carrying it, even looking directly at his true appearance may cause his existence to collapse. Fortunately, my greatest advantage is. It’s just that I have a big heart and a thick skin, and I don’t respect others. I can’t do my job as a messenger of the dead.”

Qin Muzhou felt the world spinning, his soul aching, and he couldn't believe it: "Since you already have a backer like the Immortal Ancestor, why do you still..."

"Of course it's because this plug-in backer is not omnipotent. In order to completely separate himself from the past immortal law, he was almost shattered into pieces. Now I am actually only carrying some of the fragments. I will also find a way to build him a better one than Kyushu later. A larger container comes out...but these fragments are not enough to compete with Desolation head-on, and their magical powers cannot be used unlimitedly, so instead of showing them publicly to scare people, it is better to hide them as trump cards and let the opponents have no trump cards. In addition, what Chicheng wants to see is a world completely different from the old world, and if too much is used in the great cause of fixing the wilderness, then the great law will definitely have flaws... So. I originally planned to complete the task of determining the end of the world without relying on the magical power of the Immortal Ancestor. Unfortunately, I was unable to complete the most difficult task of clearing the level at first sight. I had already opened the ring on Bai Wuhou. , and next, it’s your turn.”

After Qin Muzhou was stunned, he immediately realized what Lu Zhiyao wanted to do. He was horrified and wanted to run away, but all the immortal energy in his body lost control at this moment.

Lu Zhiyao shook her head helplessly and said: "I once told you that indecision is the most taboo in troubled times. Once you have chosen a position, do not change it. So next, I will help you return to the right path. After you are separated from me, you will Pretending to make peace with the Bai family, surrender and eliminate the famine, at the same time, I will take away the Dinghuang Pu Stone I refined in Lingshan as a certificate of surrender. Under the influence of Bai Wuhou, the Bai family will believe your words and accept your surrender. , and I will give you a warm welcome ceremony. And at the ceremony, you will show your true face, and you will not hesitate to fight for the Qin family and die with the Bai family. Qin Muzhou, this is the script of the wandering betrayer. How about it, are you satisfied? "

Qin Muzhou had already lowered his head deeply at this time. There was no trace of hesitation in his expression, only the enthusiasm of a martyr.

"I will never let down the expectations of the Immortal!"
