Chapter 1474 - 768: Finale_4
"The Human Clan still has powerful warriors, the borderland still has elite troops, they do not forget the path ahead, still holding fast."
"And these common folks, able to enjoy themselves, is a good thing."
"In those days, only a young master of the Shi Family was entitled to eat a piece of meat, spit a piece of meat."
"But now, even the children of these ordinary people can have a meal, leave half the table's dishes, though not a great thing... yet at least it allows them to know, that ordinary folks can also live without worry."
Lv Tang did not speak, walked to the stove, lifted the lid, and picked a piece of crust.
"But now life is also hard, without threats, the descendants of the Human Clan are instead not as devout, recently not much incense is burned, my incense is barely enough."
Lv Tang mumbled.
"In the past sixty years, the Heavenly Emperor has been somewhat off."
At the same time, under the falling starlight, Lin Xiaoyue appeared.
"Salutations to the Star Emperor!"
Lord Lu and the others stood up.
"Lord Lu, Mr. Han, Master Lü, this is not the Heavenly Court, in a private setting, just call me Xiaoyue."
Lin Xiaoyue said this and continued, "Since ascending the throne, the Heavenly Emperor has been selfless, yet perhaps too indifferent."
"Heaven and earth are not benevolent and regard all things as straw dogs; only such a Heavenly Emperor can make the Ten Thousand Realms enduringly stable."
Lord Lu sighed and said, "Clear rewards and punishments, acting according to the law, he is a qualified leader."
"Heh..." Lv Tang said, "Back then, Lord Lu was afraid of his divinity, correcting his humanity, now I see him untouched by the Mortal World, even his humanity is gone, only divinity remains, which contradicts what you said in those days."
"That was then, this is now." Lord Lu said, "Back then his humanity was needed to prevent the disaster of the Deceit Night from corroding, causing him to ignore his own kind! Now, he needs to be selfless to prevent the disasters of the current era."
"No matter how you say it, throughout history, the efforts of countless members of the Human Clan ultimately created this era." Shangguan Youqi, approaching from a distance, smiled gently.
"We did not create this era." Shen Jiang appeared and said, "We were fortunate to be born in this era, able to contribute to the Human Clan..."
"This era, under the leadership of the Heavenly Emperor, allows us to rely on the benefits left by our predecessors, to walk the path of our forebears, creating all of this!" Xu Dingye said, his expression complex.
"But is the one now sitting in the highest position still him?"
The Saintess of Qifeng Prefecture City whispered.
"It is still him, only not the same him."
Lord Lu, with an unusual expression, softly said, "He has always been there, besides the Heavenly Emperor, there is Lin Yan..."
Everyone's gaze fell upon the Divine Statue on that stove.
——
Above the tavern.
Only one person quietly listened to the story on stage, closed his eyes for a long time, and finished the last bite of food in his bowl.
"What kind of person empties the bowl so cleanly, even cleaner than licking it, how poor must he be?"
The waiter tidied the table, watching the man's departing figure, rolled his eyes.
"When they eat cleanly, it's easier for you to tidy up."
The Shopkeeper snorted coldly, saying, "That's called frugality..."
The waiter muttered, "Poor is poor."
"But the person gave a full one tael of silver!"
The Shopkeeper knocked him on the head, saying, "Such a generous customer and you call him poor?"
At this moment, the man walking gradually away stopped.
"You've come." The man chuckled softly.
"You've returned." The woman in a Red Dress quietly said, "I thought I would only see another you on the throne henceforth."
"The Taoist Ancestor and several ancient Great Emperors believed it was their failure to preserve this universe, and I cleaned up the mess for them."
The man raised his head, slowly said, "So they exhausted all efforts, both form and spirit vanished, yet left me a thread of vitality... within the Nirvana Divine Egg, with my Original Qi, I was reborn."
"Your lifelong cultivation remains on the supreme throne, now what the Creation Seed builds is a mortal body."
Yun Qing took a deep breath, softly said, "You will soon grow old and die, leaving the Supreme Heavenly Emperor... who will not permit any 'private thoughts' to interfere with reincarnation, including his own!"
"It doesn't matter anymore."
Lin Yan looked toward the myriad lights behind him and said, "My mission in coming to this world has been fulfilled..."
"But to me, it matters a lot."
Yun Qing took his hand, smiled slightly, "I will teach you Nirvana Rebirth, so you won't enter reincarnation."
The willow branches not far away swayed over the wall with the wind.
The white-furred ape stood on the back of an ox, tiptoeing to look ahead.
In the High Willow City behind, inside the tavern, the storyteller began anew.
Stories of the past are being told by people of this era.
The stories of this era continue to march forward into the future.
The sorrows once etched in memory, the pains once etched in bone, the joys and sorrows of the past... have, with the passage of time, all become like waves disappearing in the long river of years.
How many events of ancient and modern times, are all consigned to a laughing talk.
