Chapter 114 You Are Also Bullshit!

Gu Xiansheng's gaze instantly followed the descent of the future, and the sound that crossed countless eons was already filled with uncontrollable rage:

"Zhaoming! You are also bullshit!"

The torrent of time from the future vibrated violently, and all the futures reversed fiercely, converging towards this moment's "past" and the next moment's "future."

All futures vanished like smoke!

Around the Golden Light Heavenly Heart, all pasts and futures also disappeared. He lost his future and only remained in the past moment before. This feeling was very mysterious, because without reaching the next moment's future, there was no way to make any response.

Not a single thought arose. Not a single intention was born.

Not a single spirit stirred. Not a single Dao manifested.

Not a single word was written.

Without the next moment's future, severing all time, Gu Xiansheng struck out with a palm, turning even the development of Confucianism and the brilliant light of the Zhaoming world into dust.

But the Golden Light Heavenly Heart did not engage in a future-oriented confrontation with Gu Xiansheng.

He took two steps back.

In the past moment before, and the past moment before that, he constantly moved forward and backward between these two moments.

From this, countless new futures were generated.

Each future was the action of the next moment.

Each future was the thought and will of the next moment.

Thus, all kinds of earth-shattering methods evolved. In the hands of countless spiritual figures behind the Golden Light Heavenly Heart, the chapters of the Qing Shi (historical annals) fluttered.

"Years are history."

"History casts the Qing Shi."

"The Qing Shi is unshakable."

"That is the conclusion!"

The future never happened, so constantly moving forward allows for constant change.

However, the fundamental nature of Confucianism is actually based on the past. History books are records of the past, not writings of the future. If there were such writings, they would be books of divination, prophecies, or apocryphal arts.

And most of those are not Confucian things.

Most of those are Daoist and fangshi (alchemists) things!

Every moment of the future is within the past, and every moment of the past is also within the next moment's future. The future contains the past, but under the Golden Light Heavenly Heart's methods, the past and the future were completely mixed together. The past is the future, and the future is also the past.

The torrent of time completely stopped.

Because the future began to flow towards the past!

"Now, the past is the future!"

Golden Light Heavenly Heart... Zhaoming, he displayed methods that even immortals like the Donghua Immortal Maiden found inconceivable.

Incomprehensible.

He changed the past within the Zhaoming world into the future within the Zhaoming world, spreading from the inside to the outside. The conclusion was in the Qing Shi, so Gu Xiansheng was blocked by his newly established "future."

"I cannot understand."

This time, even the Dao-One Black-Clad Ji was dumbfounded.

Compared to any past true body, or constant regression... these methods, in the face of redefining one's own past and future, had completely lost their meaning.

Even Gu Xiansheng was stunned.

The past is the future, mutually containing each other, unshakable. This was simply absurd and astonishing. If he had such methods, he would change himself right now and devour the Yuan Emperor and Christ.

The Golden Light Heavenly Heart raised that Heavenly Wooden Clapper, and spoke to Gu Xiansheng with a tone that was half praise and half disappointment:

"To extinguish all futures with a single thought, and to travel against time to reach the ultimate shore, you are the strongest that has never been seen in past history books."

"But even you can only go this far. In front of me, you can only leave your name in the history books, and then retreat."

"I am on the other shore. Perhaps in terms of my own cultivation level, or in terms of origin, I am not as good as you, but my understanding of the ultimate principles of the world must be higher than yours."

"You are just one person. What does it matter if you devoured other Yuqing cultivators? I am not one person."

"You are a person, I am not."

"I am 'the many'!"

"Since ancient times, Daoism values solitude, while Confucianism values the collective. Zhuangzi said: 'Carve and then return to simplicity, standing alone and solid in its form.' A person who is alone is the most noble. Alone, he travels with the spirit of heaven and earth, without arrogance towards all things. This is the lofty ideal of Daoism."

"The Gushe Immortal, praised since the pre-Qin period, or the various heavenly immortals and true saints praised later, are all like this, isolated from the world. Maintaining their personal virtue."

"But my Confucianism has always said, 'To enjoy alone, or to enjoy with others, which is more enjoyable?' Naturally, it is more enjoyable to be with the many."

"In poverty, maintain personal virtue; in prosperity, bring benefit to all under heaven. The extreme of poverty is infinity. The extreme of prosperity is attainment."

"I am the attainer, and you are the infinite. This is a metaphysical statement, not a designation of realm. However, infinity means endlessness, while attainment means having already reached the end."

"Therefore, I can defeat you."

Gu Xiansheng laughed in extreme anger. Because the future he brought was completely eliminated, the world here had severed the road to the future. Gu Xiansheng stood in front, and the corpse-dissolving immortal in this dream of the dead, or the Donghua Immortal Maiden, and the Black-Clad Ji, they had all stopped thinking and acting.

In this dream, there was no future, and no one could be liberated.

Unless Gu Xiansheng died, a new future would emerge from the dream of the dead. In other words, everything that happened at this moment was not in the future, but in the past moment before, and had nothing to do with the masses except for Christ and the Yuan Emperor.

But Christ was unwilling to see such a situation, so he used Western arts to create a piece of the future, encircling himself, and liberating Donghua and the Black-Clad Ji from their silence.

"Whether it is the infinite power of Daoism, or the attainment of your Confucianism that is more powerful, this time I will determine which is superior!"

Gu Xiansheng's voice resounded.

The Yuan Emperor watched this scene without intervening, but said to the Donghua Immortal Maiden:

"I am the Yuan Emperor, he is Christ. Don't think I am a bad person and he is a good person. There are no good people among Yuqing cultivators. Compared to the guy who ran outside, the Yin World and the current human world are more similar. How can we rely on the help of foreign enemies?"

The Yuan Emperor was trying to get the Donghua Immortal Maiden to stand on his side. He felt that someone related to Ji Xiang might be able to trigger a first move and find Ji Xiang or a key clue first.

However, Christ smiled when he heard this:

"Yuqing cultivators, the human world, these two do not have a necessary connection. Moreover, your doctrine is not accepted by the human world, while my doctrine can take root in this human world. Your reconciliation with the Thirteenth is only temporary, while I truly want to save him. Who is the foreign enemy?"

The Yuan Emperor also retorted:

"The minds of Yuqing powerhouses are all the same. Isn't your so-called salvation assimilation?"

Christ: "Then at least his will still exists, it's just living in my will. Within the will, there is still will, like within the mind there is still mind. You are very foolish, managing the souls of the world, unable to see that true spiritual nature of the self, so you cannot understand."

He also glanced at the black shadow standing high in the future, turned his head and said to the Yuan Emperor:

"The Yuanshi Heavenly Lord has disappeared, so the source of Yuqing no longer exists. Therefore, the power hindering Gu Xiansheng's return to the past has disappeared a lot. He is no longer trapped in the future. With the help of various karmic connections spread by the Qing Luo puppet, he can take action in various eras."

"You and I should not entangle ourselves in the allocation of the Thirteenth, because you and I do not have the right to allocate. I protect these two, but only to find the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord later, and I do not intend to use them. Besides, apart from the Dao-One, there is no point in using another immortal."

"I came here only to find out why the Yuanshi disappeared."

The Yuan Emperor was silent for a while, and slowly said:

"What disappeared was not only the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord, but also the things that started."

Gu Xiansheng could touch the Zhaoming world, and even reverse all futures, but ultimately... he could not reach himself here for the time being.

Because there was no Qing Luo connection here.

Moreover, the most important thing now was to find Ji Xiang's whereabouts. Ji Xiang's disappearance was inextricably linked to the disappearance of the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord. This disappearance was somewhat similar to the sudden disappearance of the First and Twelfth, but it was different in some ways.

For example, when the First and Twelfth disappeared, the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord did not have any anomalies. At that time, Yuqing still existed eternally, with an unshakable source flowing from the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord to all Yuqing cultivators.

And no title disappeared in history, at least neither Gu Xiansheng nor the Yuan Emperor had discovered it.

Doubt arose in Christ's eyes.

However, the battle between Gu Xiansheng and the Zhaoming world had restarted.

The Yuan Emperor tore up a piece of the past and surrounded himself with it. Gu Xiansheng glanced at the Yuan Emperor and Christ with disdain, and cursed: "I can't kill you this time, doesn't mean I can't kill you in the future, but this time... you are not important!"

For Gu Xiansheng, the Yuan Emperor and Christ were both major concerns, but these two people were deeply rooted in the past, like two trees that were not very tall, but whose roots were entangled extremely deep and far.

The Underworld and the Heavenly Kingdom, with their own divine kingdoms, were firmly bound to a large area of time in the world.

Of course, now it seemed that these two were not as powerful as this Confucian Zhaoming world.

And soon, he would be able to hunt down these two people at will. But in the case of the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord's disappearance, eating them now would be the most meaningless thing.

"You want to shake the Qing Shi?"

In Zhaoming's voice, there seemed to be laughter. It was mockery.

The Qing Shi was unshakable.

But Gu Xiansheng let out a cold voice. As his voice changed, it was like the cold wind of the Nine Netherworlds blowing into the world, dispersing the yellow millet dream.

"Does the Qing Shi also exist in my future?"

"Does it also exist in the future of all future beings?"

Zhaoming responded as a matter of course: "The Qing Shi is eternal. The future is always in front, and the past is always behind the future, so the Qing Shi is between these two, recording what happened in the previous moment, and is always ready to record what is coming in the next moment."

"My Confucianism writes history books, but only to present to you what the Qing Shi has recorded, and then, to show you, I will carefully revise it."

"No matter what happens, it can be revised."

Zhaoming was warning Gu Xiansheng not to try to use any crude methods of peeling off fragments of the future and then injecting them into fragments of the past. That was useless. This was far from his own method of integrating the past and future, and was not worthy of being matched.

"You have no way to defeat me, and I just want to use Qing Yang (Green Goat) as a sacrifice."

"In fact, the conditions for the resurrection of the Five Heavenly Emperors have now been met. Enough of the Yin-Yang source has been cut from Qing Yang's body, enough."

Zhaoming decided to summon back the Five Heavenly Emperors at this time. No matter what the result, the three Yuqing cultivators in front of him were powerless to stop it.

But Gu Xiansheng let out a terrifying laugh. As the voice changed, time collapsed violently, even more terrifying than the collapse of the sky and the cracking of the earth.

"The future is also the past, and the future of the future is the real future. You say you are on the other shore, but you are still holding the Qing Shi of this shore... How can you be on the other shore, but be able to write the Qing Shi of this shore?"

"The past and future are unified, and the reversal is indistinguishable from each other, I can't do this. But I also have the supreme method of a top sect, let you see it?"

Zhaoming's face changed drastically at this moment.

A thought arose.

It arose on the other shore.

And arrived at this shore.

Within this thought, there were all kinds of futures.

An image of Gu Xiansheng appeared!

"Shake the Qing Shi? That's bullshit, I'm not Confucian, I can't do it!"

"But I seize your thought, and arrive at the past of the other shore from the future of this shore, I am your thought!"

"I'm going to eat you!"
