Chapter 381: The Saint Who Left His Burdens and Ran Away
"Benefits for me?"
Feng Qingan couldn't help but frown. He had a vague premonition of something, and the next moment, what the elder brother said was indeed confirmed, but it also made him stunned.
"Your Beast Tamer System. Although I was lazy and didn't put much thought into it back then, so it's a little crude, I didn't set any barriers for you. The benefits and opportunities in it are like free gifts. You should be very happy using it!"
The young man touched his chin and said with a smile, but Feng Qingan just felt a chill all over his body.
The premonition he had many years ago turned into reality at this moment. The mastermind behind the scenes jumped out when he was completely unprepared. The other party's ability to even stop the heavenly calamity made it impossible for him to resist.
"My system, was it you who gave it to me?"
Although the truth is shocking, it is not unacceptable. After all, the system is obviously a man-made thing, and there must be great power behind it.
The only important thing now is to find out the identity of this big brother, what his intentions are, and why he shows up now.
"That's not accurate. Back then, I got your true spirit and this system from the sky. I just mixed some of my personal stuff into it."
The young man corrected Feng Qingan's wording seriously.
"What did you mix in?"
Feng Qing'an asked , the mastermind behind the scenes had jumped out, and it seemed that he had no power to resist, so before everything was over, he should at least figure out what was going on.
"Nothing much, it's just that the physical characteristics you have now were added by me."
The young man waved his hand casually, and Feng Qingan was completely confused.
"My physique was all given by you?"
"Otherwise, what do you think the Beast Tamer inheritance can give you? It's good enough that I can fly to the vicinity to protect you and let me pull you in."
The young man asked back bluntly, and Feng Qingan was completely silent.
He vaguely remembered some of the circumstances before this life began, but there was no doubt that before this life really began, there were some things he had forgotten, or had not seen at all.
"You also gave me the Immortal Spirit Source?"
Feng Qing'an felt a little lucky in his heart. Among the many opportunities he had obtained, the most incredible one was the Immortal Spirit Source, which could easily reverse the fate of living beings and endow all things with immortality.
"You are talking about this. The Immortal Spirit Source is the Heavenly Dao authority I gave you. You can use it to obtain the origin of heaven and earth, and then give it to the creatures you approve of according to your own wishes."
The young man corrected him again. Just these words made Feng Qingan understand many things, but at the same time he became more confused.
Why did he gain immortality so easily when he first obtained the immortal spiritual source? Because from that moment on, he had already become a lackey of heaven, and the sword of time would naturally not touch him.
"You gave me the authority of the Heavenly Dao, allowing me to easily obtain the origin of heaven and earth. What benefit does this bring to you?"
Feng Qingan really couldn't figure it out. The young man said it lightly, but the information revealed in it was terrifying. What Feng Qingan couldn't figure out the most was, what on earth did he want to do? This kind of power was given to him so casually.
"Benefits? The benefit is that it allows you to adapt in advance to how to use the laws of heaven and earth, and how to use the origin of heaven and earth!"
The young man explained seriously.
"Who are you?"
The corner of Feng Qing'an's mouth twitched slightly. If he had a choice, he would want to stay away from the person in front of him. Unfortunately, he didn't.
"This place has become like this, can't you guess my identity?"
The young man smiled even more happily when he saw Feng Qingan's doubtful expression, but he still added,
"Didn't you scold me before? It should be easy to guess."
"Scolded you? Heavenly Saint!?"
Feng Qing'an had already guessed it, but he still felt dazed because the person in front of him was so different from what he had imagined.
"Yes."
"Since you are the one who holds the Way of Heaven, why do you want to give me these powers? Unscrupulously using the origin of heaven and earth, won't this cause damage to heaven and earth?"
"Damage? You haven't used as much as you've gained. How can you call this kind of usage damage? Come on, this is just to help you get familiar with it in advance. This consumption is necessary."
The young man sneered and showed disdain for Feng Qingan's words.
"As for why I gave it to you, of course it was so you could come up and replace me. I've been in this position long enough. I wanted to wait for you to walk up step by step, but you're too ignorant. I have no choice but to come down."
The light words answered Feng Qing'an's doubts, but also made him more confused. In fact, his head was dizzy and he couldn't believe it. He felt like he was dreaming.
"You gave me all these and created a system for me, just to let me replace you and become the Heavenly Saint?"
Feng Qing'an really found it hard to believe. He even wondered if he was being attacked by the white demon tiger he raised, to the point that he was having some kind of hallucination that was almost delusional.
"good."
"You actually want to give me this position, and you are so casual about it, you..."
“You think this is a good location?”
The young man, who was originally smiling, asked back.
"Isn't it good?"
Feng Qing'an raised his head and glanced upward. The purple sky thunder was like a sharp sword, hanging above his head but unable to fall down. Even a celestial being or even a powerful being above the celestial being might not be able to do such a thing.
"Beyond the heaven and earth, there is a vaster world, but once I sit on this position, I can only stay here and can no longer see the scenery beyond. I wanted to abdicate 70,000 years ago, but all the guys who were qualified to take over my position ran away!"
At this point, the young man showed an extremely angry expression.
“Later, I trained a few more people, but once those guys came into contact with the outside world, they were all unwilling to take my place.
Later, I finally waited for an honest little guy, but I found that even if he was willing, it would be useless. I took too much before ascending to the position of Lord of Heaven. My successor must at least inherit everything I have. "
"What do you mean by taking too much?"
Feng Qingan couldn't help but ask.
"What do you think those physical qualities I gave you are?"
"have no idea."
Feng Qing'an was very straightforward. If he could have guessed it, he would not have fallen into the current situation, like a fish belly on the chopping board, at the mercy of others. Even if the big brother in front of him had no ill will towards him, he would still entrust such an important burden to him.
"Every one of your physical characteristics comes from the innate origins left behind after the innate gods and demons transcended. These were acquired before I became the Lord of Heaven, so my successor must also possess them."
"You must have put a lot of thought into this system."
Feng Qingan couldn't help but say something sarcastic.
"I was mainly thinking of putting all the blame on you, so after I finished it, I was too lazy to put in the effort, so it's a little rough and has too many marks. The origins of gods and demons are like they were given for free, but you ended up enjoying using them."
“…”
"Why aren't you talking?"
Seeing Feng Qingan remained silent, the young man refused to give in.
"Why choose me? Why me?"
Feng Qing'an raised his head and gazed deeply at the young man in front of him. What he did was by no means casual. After all, this was the third big brother he had met, and the one in front of him might not be the real master who controlled the way of heaven.
"What do I say about this?"
The young man looked distressed. After struggling for a while, he sighed softly.
"Forget it. You can't run away anyway. I'll tell you the truth. The reason I chose you was simply because I just had an idea and you happened to fly in front of me, so I caught you. According to your trajectory, you shouldn't have landed in this world. You should have gone to other worlds."
"You are too casual."
Feng Qing'an originally thought that there was something special about him, or that there was something special about the beastmaster inheritance he carried, which made the Lord of Heaven look at him differently. But in the end, he just happened to come across him. What did this mean?
"It's not something that needs to be taken seriously. It doesn't matter who takes over my position. What matters is who can replace me."
The young man waved his hand casually.
"Aren't you worried that I might do something wrong after I take over your position?"
“Pfft~ Doing whatever you want? Hahahaha!”
After hearing Feng Qingan's words, the young man wanted to hold on for a while, but he failed and laughed out loud instead.
"why are you laughing?"
Feng Qingan's face darkened.
"If you become a saint of heaven, no matter what you do, it will have its own deep meaning. How can it be considered as misbehavior?"
"What if I let this world collapse?"
"If you have the ability, then go for it. Maybe this is also a way to transcend."
The young man laughed and didn't care at all.
"Are you really a Heavenly Saint?"
Feng Qingan questioned.
"How about finishing these lightning strikes first? Or should I make it more difficult for you?"
Boom boom
As the young man's voice fell, the heavenly calamity that seemed to have been solidified in transparent amber was suddenly unsealed. Not only that, the roaring thunders were endowed with divine form and intention, transforming into thousands of purple dragons of thunder. The dragons roared and roamed in the calamity clouds, and the destructive power that could destroy a small world was brewing within them.
"Brother, I was wrong."
Looking at the group of dragons circling overhead, Feng Qing'an was very aware of the current situation, but still confused.
"Not bad, he admits his mistakes and corrects them. He is still a good kid."
The young man nodded with satisfaction, and the roaring dragons in the calamity cloud suddenly solidified and turned into lifelike dragon sculptures.
"But, big brother, since you are in charge of the way of heaven, why do you look down on this world so much?"
Feng Qing'an couldn't help feeling confused.
"Contempt? Do you mean I casually passed the location to you?"
"yes."
"You have seen secular dynasties and should have read history books. Even though the founding emperor and the second emperor sat in the same position, did they hold the same power?"
"So I want to be a puppet saint."
Feng Qing'an suddenly came to his senses.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can someone with great power become a puppet? But even if you have the same authority of heaven as me, you can't do what I can do.
But after you adapt, how much you can endure depends on your own efforts and ideas. With the foundation I left behind, no matter how hard you try, you can't destroy this world."
There is a sense of confidence in the young man's plain words. It's not that he doesn't value the world under his feet, but because he values it too much, he is confident that no matter who his successor is, it will not be able to collapse.
"I see."
Feng Qingan let out a breath of fresh air.
"One last question."
"Are you the original body of the one who is so high above, or something like an incarnation? And what are my two elder brothers?"
"I am no different from the two you met. We are the same, except that we follow the paths of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. We all appeared because of your birth."
"I see."
Feng Qing'an understood. He felt that the elder brother in front of him was too cheerful and didn't seem like a saint who ruled the way of heaven at all.
"What are you thinking about? Do you think the Heavenly Saint is made of stone? Do you think he has no emotions or nature?"
The young man saw through Feng Qingan's thoughts at a glance and sneered.
“…”
Feng Qing'an twitched the corner of his mouth. In Buddhism, there is telepathy, and in Taoism, there are naturally similar magical powers. The person in front of him, even if he is just an incarnation, possesses unimaginable authority over the way of heaven.
"Okay, now that I have asked all the questions I need to ask, are you ready to accept everything?"
"I don't think I'm ready."
Feng Qing'an responded very sincerely. If he had a choice, he would also like to refuse. After all, there were several people before him who were trained by the person in front of him and they all refused.
"That's not up to you. I'm just asking casually."
The young man pointed casually, and the dragon sculptures above his head came alive again. However, the purple dragons, which were originally transformed by calamity and brewing destruction, had their nature reversed except for the color.
"The Saint has ascended the throne!"
A voice with a hint of laughter sounded, and the dragons made clear and melodious sounds. The solemn and magnificent sound of dragon roars penetrated the three thousand worlds and disturbed countless beings.
However, when they cast their eyes over here, they saw a brilliant purple sea that was far more dazzling than thousands of suns combined into one. As a result, no one dared to spy on this place anymore.
“Fuck!”
Feng Qing'an looked at the group of dragons above his head and uttered an angry curse, because the dragons swarmed towards him. These purple dragons with their bodies winding for thousands of feet all wanted to get into his body.
Every time he merged with a purple dragon, Feng Qing'an could feel that the essence of his life was leaping madly, and the way he looked at everything in the world was undergoing different changes.
When all the thousands of dragons disappeared and the last purple dragon merged into his body, the feeling that everything in the world, even the sun, moon and stars, was under his control came to his mind, and everything in front of Feng Qingan became different.
A Taoist who looked similar to him, making him feel familiar yet somewhat strange, was standing in the surging sea of chaos, looking at him with a smile on his face. The stars in the sky rotated and disappeared behind him, as if the birth and death of all things was only in his thoughts.
"Everything is left to you."
"Where are you going then?"
"Chaos Sea!"
"What should I do then?"
"I have managed this world for a long time. Thirty thousand years from now, when you are bored, an immortal king from another world will come across the world to look for you. Then you will have a chance to escape."
The chaos that had been boiling for a long time suddenly erupted, completely submerging the young Taoist's figure.
"Thirty thousand years later, the Immortal King will cross the border!"
In Feng Qing'an's eyes, the sun rises and the moon sets, all things rotate, and he understands everything.
He had already seen a scene that would happen in the distant future. He had not noticed it at first, but after the previous saint who had resigned from his post pointed it out, he had already noticed it clearly.
"It turned out to be this bastard."
The new saint cursed with a smile. He had already seen where the cause and effect came from.
But at this moment he only felt anticipation, because only on the Immortal King who was bound to come was there a shadow that he could not understand or see through.
"But, this is too early. I should be allowed to play for another thousand years at least. Now this world has no more secrets for me. Why would I need 30,000 years? It would be boring if it takes less than 10,000 years!"
"well!"
