The Counterattack of the Villains

Chapter 44: Immeasurable Calamity, A Chance of Life

In the blink of an eye, Li Mu became Tathagata Buddha and has been in charge of Lingshan for three hundred years.

During these three hundred years, except for the changing of dynasties and occasional wars in the mortal world, the Three Realms have generally maintained stability and peace.

The tribulation energy between heaven and earth will never completely disappear as long as there are living beings in the prehistoric world. The rise and fall of tribulations are also part of the operation of this world.

Whenever the aura of calamity pervades the world, the mortal world is bound to be in turmoil, and every change of dynasty is a calamity for mortals. It is also an opportunity for the sacred immortals and Buddhas to eliminate the aura of calamity and seize merit.

However, this mortal calamity basically only happened among mortals after Li Mu took charge of Lingshan.

In troubled times, the vicious circle that there must be monsters has long been broken by Li Mu.

Because once troubled times are approaching, there will be vajras with angry eyes to cast down demons, and bodhisattvas with lowered brows to save suffering.

Therefore, all the monsters and ghosts hide their traces and hide in Qingxiu in the deep mountains. Even in troubled times, they dare not come out of the mountains to harm people.

As a result, the existence of demons, ghosts and monsters has gradually become a legend among mortals, and fewer and fewer people have seen them.

As for the demon world, except for the tribulations of inner demons and celestial demons that refreshed the sense of existence during the cultivation of mortal monks, there have never been any big troubles.

In the Three Realms, even the number of evil monks practicing demonic ways has been greatly reduced, and they have almost disappeared.

Under such an environment, coupled with the loosening of the new rules of heaven, the combination of immortals and mortals in the past three hundred years has given birth to countless demigods, and the strength of the heavens has been greatly strengthened.

In this regard, Lingshan is incomparable. Although Buddhism has joyful Zen, it cannot be ignored even when having children.

But that's not a problem. If you can't give birth on your own, it's okay to go back to Lingshan Mountain where you have a predestined relationship with Buddha.

Although Li Mu does not have three corpses, after he attains Hunyuan, he can transform into thousands of bodies and walk throughout the wilderness.

He has mastered the laws of nine great avenues, and his knowledge of magical arts and magical powers is extremely rich. If he takes just a few of them, he can form a Taoist lineage. It is not difficult to receive high-quality disciples.

Not only is he doing this, but Agarwood is also doing this.

If it had been left in the past, this would definitely have caused a conflict between Buddhism and Taoism, but now there is no such problem at all.

Li Mu guessed that the Jade Emperor must have been greeted by him.

I don’t know what happened in the three realms, or what will happen. Regarding the sudden increase of sacred immortals and Buddhas in the prehistoric world, the way of heaven completely let it go, and instead acted to add fuel to the flames.

Li Mu was not in a hurry about this, he knew he would know the answer sooner or later.

As the only Hunyuan Daluo in the prehistoric world, no matter what happens in the prehistoric world, it is impossible to bypass him. When things happen, Zixiao Palace will definitely look for him.

Sure enough, after three hundred years of stability, Taoist Zhunti appeared in front of Li Mu again.

This time, he came to invite Li Mu to Zixiao Palace to discuss matters according to the decree of the Taoist ancestor.

In the midst of endless chaos, a majestic palace exuding the aura of eternity stands.

The three characters "Zixiao Palace" on the door are ancient Taoist scriptures that today's monks in the Three Realms do not understand at all.

At this time, the gate of Zixiao Palace was open. After Li Mu followed Zhunti, he went directly into the palace.

There are no waiters here. The two little guys who used to be Taoists here have long since become the most noble beings in the three realms.

Entering the main hall, Li Mu found that the place was very simple. The entire hall was filled with futons. Li Mu knew that there were three thousand futons without counting them.

I don’t know how many Yuanhui have been put here on these futons. However, things have changed and people have changed. There are not many people left sitting on the futons at the beginning.

There is a lotus platform at the end of the main hall, which is still empty at this time, but there are already five people sitting on the seven futons placed side by side in front of the lotus platform.

Just looking at their backs, Li Mu recognized their identities one by one. From left to right, they were Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, and the Five Saints.

In the second row behind them, there was also a row of people sitting, namely: Heaven represented the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, Earth represented Pingxin Empress, and humanity represented the Three Saints of Fire Cloud Cave.

Sitting in the third row are the ancestors of Kunpeng of the North Ming Dynasty, the ancestor of the Blood Sea Minghe River, Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the Earth Immortals, the Prince of Donghua Shandong, and the Queen Mother of the West Kunlun.

Although today's Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu are no longer the top male and female immortals, they are still surrounded by a group of loose immortals who have come from ancient times, and their power is quite strong.

The ancient loose immortals are not the loose immortals today who had to retreat because they could not survive the thunder tribulation, and lingered waiting for their lifespan to run out.

There was no thunder calamity in ancient times, and loose immortals simply referred to immortals who did not join any forces and practiced on their own.

Their magical powers and cultivation may not be as strong as those of the great sect disciples, but at the same time they suffer fewer disasters and can live longer.

Before Lu Ya joined Buddhism, he was traveling as a Kunlun Sanren.

The three realms of heaven, earth and man, the demon world, the blood sea, the earth immortals, the loose immortals, plus the arrival of Li Mu, the representative of Buddhism, it can be said that all the major forces in the prehistoric world have arrived.

When Li Mu arrived, the Five Saints stood up one after another to greet Li Mu, while others came forward to greet him.

When the three representatives are in their respective territories, they can borrow the power of one to gain the power of a false saint like Wu Tian, ​​enough to compete with the saint.

But Li Mu, the Hunyuan Daluo, is actually in the realm of a saint. He does not need any blessings. He can fight against saints no matter where he is, and he is stronger than ordinary saints.

Therefore, no one can ignore him. Even if the saints are not on good terms with him, they will not offend him.

Others must maintain enough respect, because when one reaches the level of a saint, one only cares about appearance, and everything else is meaningless.

After everyone exchanged greetings, Zhunti pulled Li Mu to the futon in the first row and sat next to him.

Nowadays, the futon representing the holy throne in the main hall is in a very interesting state.

Nuwa is sitting in the middle, with the Three Sages of Taoism on her left and the Three Sages of Buddhism on her right. She is like the dividing line that clearly separates the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism.

After everyone sat down, Li Mu saw that the most powerful quasi-sages behind him were still chatting softly. It seemed that there was no taboo here. He immediately let go of his scruples and asked softly: "Buddha Mother, did you know that Taoist Ancestor has called us here this time?"

, what exactly happened?”

Zhunti said solemnly: "I don't know the specific situation, but it should be for immeasurable calamities."

As soon as he said the words "immeasurable calamity", there was an immediate silence in the hall, and the quasi-sages chatting behind him all looked horrified and confused.

For these top saints, who have endless lifespan and are almost immune to any disasters, the most terrifying thing is these four words.

Since the beginning of Hongmeng, the prehistoric world has experienced countless calamities, large and small.

The most terrifying calamity among them was that the ancient land was torn into pieces and turned into four major continents.

The only catastrophe that can be called an immeasurable catastrophe is the great catastrophe when the great god Pangu created the world.

This catastrophe was the end of chaos, making the universe no longer chaotic, but it was a catastrophe for the three thousand demon gods living in chaos.

Because the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods were all the living creatures in Chaos at that time. After this immeasurable catastrophe, none of them could survive. All of them, including the Great God Pangu himself, were extinct.

This is the terrible thing about countless tribulations.

The last immeasurable catastrophe ended the Hongmeng Era, destroyed the Chaos Demon God, and created the prehistoric world.

So what will this immeasurable calamity end? What will it destroy? What will it create?

Can these people here survive?

The hall became completely quiet due to the words "immeasurable calamity". Everyone was thinking about something in their minds, and the same was true for Li Mu.

He has slightly more information than the primitive natives.

No matter in any ancient story, the sacred immortal Buddha has lost traces since the Ming Dynasty.

The world has entered the Age of Ending Dharma, where spiritual energy is scarce and practice is difficult, until it is completely cut off, and the world has entered the age of science and technology.

The reason for all this is because Liu Bowen cut off the dragon veins and gained ultimate heavenly power, which completely severed the connection between the heaven and the human world.

Innate spiritual energy can no longer be transformed into acquired spiritual energy and injected into the human world, and the human world can no longer communicate with the heavenly world. From then on, the two worlds seem to have become two unrelated parallel worlds.

So the question is, why did Liu Bowen want Jedi Heaven Tong?

Even if there was no one in this world, the gods and Buddhas would not be able to oppress the human race to the point where they would have to cut off the dragon veins and end their own path of cultivation. Then the theory of oppression by gods and Buddhas is obviously untenable.

Liu Bowen is the self-corpse of his own disciple, and he is now in the mortal world of Nanzhan Buzhou, hanging out with Zhu Yuanzhang, just to earn some small merit, and he is idle anyway.

Without his interference in the original plot, he would have gained more great merits, his magical power would never be lower than it is now, and he does have the strength to slay the dragon vein.

But the question is why? What was his reason for killing the dragon vein?

Li Mu believed that the answer would be learned from Hongjun.

I don’t know how much time passed, but suddenly a figure sitting cross-legged appeared out of thin air on the originally empty lotus platform.

He was an old Taoist with white beard and hair. He had a whisk on his arm, his eyes were empty and indifferent, and there was no emotion at all.

Seeing this old man, everyone in the hall bowed to him.

"teacher."

"Taozu."

After Hongjun appeared, he looked directly at Li Mu and said slowly: "Fahai, where do the laws of the great road you master come from?"

The saints' expressions changed. This was something they had been curious about for hundreds of years, but they didn't expect that even Dao Ancestor didn't know about it. This was intriguing.

Li Mu looked calm. He was mentally prepared for the fact that Hongjun would definitely ask him about this matter after meeting him.

So he just spread his hands with a neutral expression, and five beads of different colors appeared in the sky above his palm.

"Huidao ancestors all came from these spiritual beads. The poor monk didn't know the origin of these beads. He got them in the belly of Tianmu Mountain. He sensed that there were five spiritual laws in them, so he practiced with them. It was only by mistake that he succeeded.

Hunyuan Dao Fruit."

After seeing Li Mu's Five Spirit Beads, Nuwa was the first to speak in admiration: "It is indeed the purest Five Spirit Principle. Fellow Taoist, you are really lucky."

Tongtian asked Hongjun curiously: "Teacher, I wonder where this bead comes from?"

Hongjun stared at the Five Spirit Pearls for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I don't know, this is not something from the ancient world."

"What?" The saints were greatly surprised, and Li Mu even said in astonishment: "Did Ancestor Dao say that this is something from the heavens?"

Hongjun said: "It is indeed an extraterrestrial thing, but the Five Spirits Dao Law contained in it is no different from the ancient world, and there is nothing wrong with it. You can rest assured."

Li Mu looked relieved and said: "This poor monk will feel relieved. Thank you Daozu."

After saying that, he put away the five spirit beads and said no more.

Hongjun seemed to have dispelled some doubts and said instead: "I have called you here today to tell you that immeasurable calamities are coming, and you should be prepared to deal with them."

Lao Tzu asked: "May I ask my teacher, where does the calamity come from?"

Hongjun said: "Outside the sky."

Is it outside the sky again? All the saints looked at each other and subconsciously looked at Li Mu.

Hongjun said: "You don't have to look at Fahai, it has nothing to do with him."

Yuanshi said: "Please tell me clearly, teacher."

Hongjun raised his head slightly, looked at the dome, and said slowly: "Chaos is endless, how can it be possible that there is only one great god Pangu and one prehistoric world?"

As soon as Hongjun said these words, all the saints were shocked, but six words suddenly appeared in Li Mu's mind: "Law of the Dark Forest."

If the endless chaos is regarded as a large universe, then naturally there cannot be only one prehistoric world civilization in this large universe.

Once a certain civilization is discovered, it will inevitably be attacked by other civilizations.

This is the dark forest law theory of the science fiction "Three Body", and it is also applicable to endless chaos.

Following Hongjun's narration, the saints gradually understood where this immeasurable calamity came from.

And Li Mu finally understood the reason why the stories of Honghuangliu basically ended with the Ming Dynasty.

After conferring the title of God to measure the calamity, Zixiao Palace suddenly welcomed an uninvited guest, the Great Immortal Yang Mei who had left the prehistoric world for many years and traveled in endless chaos.

He brought news that there was not only Pangu, a creator god in the endless chaos, but also many other creator gods who also created the world.

And when these worlds discover the existence of other worlds, conflicts will inevitably occur.

When for the first time there was a spokesperson for heaven in a certain world, he discovered that after defeating other worlds and devouring the origin of their worlds, his own world status had been improved, and he was suddenly out of control.

Wars among the worlds began to break out frequently. In the melee, some worlds united to form alliances and carve up other worlds together.

The prehistoric world is being targeted by a world alliance.

This alliance is composed of three great worlds. In other words, the prehistoric world will face the siege of three Taoist-level masters and dozens of saint-level masters. Just thinking about it makes the hearts of the saints tremble.

And when Li Mu heard the names of those few worlds and some of the joints that he still didn't understand, he suddenly became enlightened and he thought about it completely.

The worlds of those three alliances are named Olympus, Asgard, and Paradise.

Based on what he knew, Li Mu guessed that the prehistoric world had failed in this immeasurable disaster caused by the invasion from the outside world.

In the original prehistoric world, there was no belief in God Jehovah, Zeus, and Odin, and no relevant civilization even existed.

In other words, during this immeasurable calamity, the armies of the three worlds invaded the prehistoric world, and even spread their civilization to the prehistoric world.

Hongjun and the saints knew that they could not hold on, so they decisively decided to use Tiantong to completely cut off the connection between the heaven and the human world.

As a result, although they can no longer contact the human world, similarly, the gods of the other three worlds cannot go to the human world, leaving a glimmer of hope for the human world.

This is also the reason why other races, gods and beliefs began to appear in the prehistoric world after the Ming Dynasty.

As for the heaven that is cut off from the human world, and the final fate of the sacred immortals and Buddhas in the prehistoric world, no one knows.

Maybe they were defeated and all of them disappeared, maybe they died together with the gods of the three worlds, or maybe they won and then went to other worlds, no one can tell clearly.

Li Mu was also panicking at this time. The three worlds were crushing them with the general trend. The original prehistoric world could not resist it. Now there is only one more of him in this world. How much effect can it have?

Fortunately, the meeting in Zixiao Palace was over and when he returned to the ancient world, the long-lost system prompt sounded, reminding him that this reincarnation was over, which finally made him feel at ease.

A flash of understanding arose in Li Mu's heart. This system might be the part of the prehistoric world that had escaped, and it was also a glimmer of hope for the prehistoric world.

When he further strengthens himself in reincarnation, achieves Hunyuan Wuji, and returns to the prehistoric world, he will naturally be able to crush the three invading worlds.

They may even devour them when the time comes, greatly improving the status of the prehistoric world.

Li Mu did not hesitate and immediately chose to return.

After this return, the system score will no longer appear, and he can choose to return to this world at any time.

But before he attained the enlightenment of Hunyuan Wuji, he would not dare to come back rashly, for fear of trapping himself again.

It's just that Li Mu really can't think of a world with a higher status than the prehistoric world that would give him the opportunity to realize the Hunyuan Wuji.
