"……who?!"

Now Pei Chen naturally would not continue to be so stupid that he thought he was still hallucinating. He focused on his breath and searched the space around him. However, he did not realize that his fear had been completely eliminated. Although he still retained a qualified vigilance, he was more just to act according to the habit of instinct.

Soon, Pei Chen finally found in his consciousness why this clear voice made him feel familiar. Some of the rhythmic sound waves in it vaguely overlapped with the bell he had heard before. It was like the sound waves fluctuating during the transmission process of the bell, and finally turned into a voice sound, which was extremely strange and thrilling, and it seemed that there was a great flow of divine power that distorted the time and space of the heavens.

It is ethereal and unstable, as if it comes from a distant sky, and it also resounds from all directions at the same time, echoing in the hall.

Slowly, slow! It’s probably the entire hall that is inside the big bell, right?

As soon as he thought of this, Pei Chen couldn't help but tremble, and his soul almost wanted to leave his body. He extended his divine consciousness, but found that the walls around the hall seemed simple and unpretentious, chaotic and mysterious yellow, but there was an incomparable magical power flowing on it, imprisoning time and suppressing space, as if it contained the vast power of the world. The divine consciousness could not be penetrated and did not say it, and there was also a trace of the power of rules that made Pei Chen feel very familiar.

That is the rule that He once felt on the immortal rune stone ‘zod’ produced in the dark world. It cannot be destroyed, cannot be worn, and cannot be erased, so it is called immortal. However, it is only relatively indestructible. Although it is difficult for the blade of realm and the power of the Nine-tailed One to wear the rune stone, at least it is impossible to stop Pei Chen’s current finger. It is also a taboo-level military-mounted meteor gun, Gangnier, can also swing or throw it, and it can also break it...

But now, the "never wear" and "undestructible" rules on the walls of the hall are really veritable and undestructible.

It is very similar to the rules of the immortal rune stone 'zod', so Pei Chen can identify it through comparison and verification. However, no matter the mystery or the defense intensity, it is many thousand times higher than the former, just like the enhanced appreciation version of the former, with n plus signs attached to it... In fact, Pei Chen really doubts whether there are really objects or characters in this world that can shake such defense.

There is no way to escape... He made such a judgment, and it was also an accurate judgment.

"...Don't you already understand, why ask more questions?" At this time, Zhong Bo turned into words again, and came leisurely, echoing in the hall.

“…”

Although it is very slight, the walls and ground around it all have a slight vibration. Could it be that the innate treasure is really the kind of innate treasure that produces the Tao and the heaven, and thus is the innate god in the bell?

Pei Chen frowned, but did not notice any danger. However, he did not relax his vigilance, but instead kept his mind and stepped forward step by step. Although he knew that if he encountered something like the soul, he might have seen the highest level of his experience in theory, and he had no chance in front of the unprecedented high-level existence, but no matter how he said that dying struggle was ultimately done.

And He also had an inexplicable idea that the soul that he appeared here now was originally the soul. As long as he did not operate those strange soul techniques obtained from the "self" in other world lines through the resonance of the multiverse, he would not reshape his body.

My body or material carrier is still in other places. If it has not been completely destroyed now, I should probably follow my instinct and have developed the shape of all dharmas, and have integrated into the time, space, matter, energy, etc. of the universe.

Therefore, no matter how powerful the soul robbery is, it must be targeted at the existence of a body. If both sides are soul spirits... how to seize it?

The palace calmed down for a moment. Pei Chen walked forward a few steps and paused carefully for a while. He also subconsciously paid attention to the door behind him. Then he discovered that although there was no change in appearance, time and space were still completely imprisoned. It was a mysterious and lively line of rules, and thousands of them woven into a new law. With Pei Chen's accumulation and understanding of the way of time, there was not much that could be understood at all...

Now he suddenly relived the feeling of his study period, which was that he couldn't understand anything when he was studying. It should be more accurate to say that he had studied well before, but he lowered his head and picked up a pen in a math class, and he never understood it again.

There is no way out... and the entire palace should be the space evolved inside the big bell. Even if it escapes, it will just run from one area within the bell to another area, and it is still inside the bell body.

With this enlightenment, Pei Chen finally spent more than ten minutes, walked over a distance of more than a thousand meters, and came to the statue of Gou Chen.

The relative scale relationship between distance and near is completely unsuitable for this ghost place. The closer he gets, the more he finds that the statue of the ancient snake Gouchen becomes more and more majestic. It is not because of the perspective he gets closer, but because it is really getting bigger and bigger. The emperor crown on his head covers the heaven and earth. The wings behind it are set off by stars, which is extremely majestic. The stars in the human starry sky are so small in comparison, and none of them can cover it.

In the hall, which was only a thousand meters wide, time and space were stretched infinitely, endlessly, turning into a vast universe!

The so-called Gou Chen is not only one of the Emperors of Heaven, but also the name of an ancient snake.

Such a hint of enlightenment surged in his heart. Pei Chen suppressed the shocking feeling in his heart and carefully approached to look at the "person". There were still ten steps away, but he could clearly see that the "person" was wearing ancient clothes, sitting cross-legged in front of the huge base altar under the statue.

If you look closely, you will find that he is wearing a large fur and a crown, with an embroidered innate Bagua Taoist diagram, two polar stars in the north and south, three talents in heaven and earth, a black robe with a robe, a crown with twelve tassels, and white jade beads.

Such an instrument shape is like a Gao Miao and indifferent ancient sage emperor who came out of the myth, but it did not give people any other feeling except for the purity and impurity. There is no such thing as a powerful aura that can last for a lifetime. It just exists quietly there, without any movement.

The only thing worth noting is that the face of this ‘man’ was blurred. Twelve crown beads fell down, as if not only covering their faces, but also as if they were lingering in chaos fog, making it impossible to see the true appearance of the emperor through the crown beads, at least it was blurry and unreal.

This is good news. At least Pei Chen expected that he would have to endure unimaginable murderous intent every step he took, and the bloody plot that could approach at the cost of serious injury did not appear. But on the contrary, Pei Chen would rather have such an exclusion effect. His premonition of anxiety in his heart became stronger and stronger. The "person" seemed to have been dead for a long time and had no sense of consciousness, otherwise he would not have been sitting so silent.

But even on the surface, except for not being able to see clearly, everything was ordinary, but Pei Chen didn't know what was wrong. He just felt that he had faced a natural enemy who could not resist no matter what, and he clearly had no soul fluctuations, but he had a sense of intuition that the "man" was alive. Or, it should be said that he had died incalculable years, but he was still alive.

Dead, but still alive.

It is indeed a very contradictory statement, but Pei Chen doesn't think there is anything wrong.

The state of the realm of this kind of character is more troublesome than the state of quantum uncertainty. It is not that existence that has not reached this level can be asserted. Life and death are likely not an absolute state, and perhaps it is not a strange thing to superimpose the two. Anyway, Pei Chen felt that there was no reason for the other party's body that seemed empty and without any breath wavelength. There was an incomprehensible horror hidden.

"Is there really a so-called body?... Even I am not limited to material carriers. The form of existence begins to extend to various conceptual levels of the world, connecting the world axis and timeline..."

Pei Chen's eyes flashed and murmured to himself, but he couldn't see through the mystery of the body of the "human" and could not see through the state of its existence in which it extended. There was no past, no future, and no other dimensions. Perhaps it was because the Chaos Bell made time and space consistent, but He just didn't believe that the Heavenly Emperor Gou Chen would have the so-called real body.

"You don't have to doubt that this is Gou Chen's Taoist body legacy, and it is the condensation of his own way!"

At this time, the clock wave vibrated and resounded again, and the voice came slowly, vast and solemn.

The remains of molt? Pei Chen's thoughts moved slightly, and he naturally knew what the so-called "sorrow" was. The two schools of Buddhism and Taoism believed that death was to transform away their bodies, so they called their corpses "sorrow". Even this is the case, let alone the remains of immortals and gods? Generally speaking, existences above the taboo level are difficult to kill, and are generally the kind of death without death, corpse disintegration, Nirvana, transformation... I don't know how many professional terms are used to distinguish the death status of immortals, sacred gods and Buddhas.

The remains of the Tao body are the condensation of the Tao of the immortals and gods. Not only are all the power, realms, perceptions, paths, etc. in their lifetimes condensed, but even the Dharma appearances developed in various fields and concepts will collapse and return to the Wuji. Therefore, generally speaking, they refer to the only corpse left after their death in the true sense.

It is not that all immortals and gods will leave a complete remains of Taoist bodies. Only those great gods, Buddhas and saints are qualified to do this. More people, such as Buddhist practitioners, great bodhisattvas, and great Arhats, will basically only leave some relics after death.

"So, Emperor Gou Chen really... has fallen? Or should he say he has died?"

Although the instrument spirit suspected to be the Chaos Bell has always been very cold and only speaks at certain moments, Pei Chen didn't know why he felt an extra sense of intimacy. He subconsciously confirmed that the other party would never take action, so he asked decisively. He stared at the remains of the Taoist body of the Emperor Gou Chen. Although he couldn't see its true appearance clearly, it always made him feel that the other party would open his bright eyes and look at him in the next moment.

To be honest, Pei Chen never thought that his meeting with this person was like this, which was not in line with his previous imagination. In His opinion, even if the other party was really dead, it should not be so dull.

At least it must have a majestic and majestic, full of atmospheres, and the huge tombs that run through the universes of all realms and universes. The deepest coffin is floating in the chaotic vortex. Even the corpse should have the magical power to suppress everything and reopen the heaven and earth to establish the vast world...

This style of painting is in line with His previous imagination of this great man, and it should not be the current situation.

Moreover, if this person so ordinary has disappeared in the long river of time, then who is the one who is arranging his fate?!

"Fallen? Of course not..." Zhong Bo's voice echoed. I don't know if it was an illusion. Pei Chen felt that the indifferent sound wave seemed to have a strange meaning. But he had no intention of pondering these details, because then the god in the clock said a shocking word almost ruthlessly, which made his hair stand up in an instant.

"Aren't you still alive?"

After being silent for a while, Pei Chen asked bitterly: "...What do you mean? What does His not die have to do with me still alive?"

"I have already said that He is your past, you are His present, maybe... He is still your future." Chaos Bell said, "Since you are still alive, then He will naturally not be considered dead."

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

After a while, Pei Chen's voice seemed a little strange: "I am... Gou Chen's reincarnation?"

"No, it has not yet reached the level of reincarnation. It is probably just a thought incarnation." Chaos Zhong told frankly, "Gou Chen has been transformed into hundreds of billions and has been distracted countless times, but he has not reincarnated... because he was not reincarnated, but has completely divided his existence, and his energy scattered among the billions of heavens in the void worlds... You are one of them, you are Gou Chen, Gou Chen, but you are not you."

“I said before, ‘You’ haven’t woken up yet.”

“…”

“…”

"But the failure to attain enlightenment is only death. This is witnessed by the immortals of heaven and earth. Is it still possible?" Pei Chen shook his head, and he was actually calmer than ever before. He quickly thought and integrated the clues and information he had obtained, hoping to deny this terrible fact.

"If you fail to achieve the Tao, you will become ashes. If you fail to attain enlightenment, you will only die and destroy the Tao to destroy the ashes. This is of course an unchangeable iron rule. But what if Gou Chen did not fail at all? Otherwise, there would be a reincarnation body at all. There would be no chance to reincarnate, and it would be even more impossible to divide the gods into a god." Zhong Bo was shaking the time, "The failure to attain enlightenment is just a cover. If it weren't for the immortals and Bodhisattvas of the two families of the Heavenly Immortals and Bodhisattvas who witnessed Gou Chen's failure before he became enlightened, they believed that Gou Chen was indeed completely defeated, so how could he do the strategy of hiding the world?"

Pei Chen said with difficulty: "What... means?"

"Do you know that the best time to achieve enlightenment in an era is either in the 129,600 years after the opening of the era, or in the 129,600 years before the end... Because the world has begun to open, the rules are being evolved and have not yet been perfected and rigorous; and when the disaster is over, the rules are loose, and new laws are generated, conflicts, and running-in. But no matter what, they will be eliminated, and the opportunity to achieve enlightenment is better than other periods."

For some reason, the innate gods in the clock actually had a question and answer, and had no intention of hiding it.

"Although Gou Chen rose up for a lifetime, he missed the period of the ancient heaven and missed the best opportunity to achieve enlightenment... Moreover, he reached the top and blocked the Tao. Even if he chose to open up and end the period before, he avoided the greatest disaster of God's anger at the sky, and there were other people who would block those who wanted to achieve enlightenment... That was no longer just a matter of great perseverance, great wisdom, great firmness, and upholding his original heart to achieve what was going on. It depends on the game of other enlightened people. No matter how firm your mind is, no matter how wise and perseverance is, it cannot withstand their slight fingers..."

It was a cover from the beginning?

"The Emperor Gou Chen of Heaven does not expect that he can successfully prove the truth and replace the concept of God Haotian?" Pei Chen asked in a deep voice, as if he wanted to confirm something.

"Natural." Zhong Bo shook lightly.

"What is He for..." Pei Chen's heart had already stirred up waves, and he muttered to himself in disbelief.

I heard the secret of Fairy Qingyao before, and he thought that the Heavenly Emperor Gou Chen was just before he attained enlightenment, and was worried that the Buddhist sect would dominate the country after his failure, so he secretly planned to deal with a severe damage to the Wuliu Buddha Land, which made the Buddhist sect unable to act rashly even after the four Heavenly Emperors of the Heavenly Court and Taoist Sect disappeared one after another. But I didn't expect that this person was not trying to maintain the Heavenly Court, but took one step and took everything into consideration.

Even the failure to attain enlightenment was just a cover. From the beginning, He never thought of really replacing God Haotian... It turns out that he is not a person who does not plan for the whole world, isn't it worthwhile to plan for a while?!

Wait! Since it is a strategy of hiding the world, then from the beginning, His goal was not the true spiritual position of God Haotian, so what is it?!

He raised his head blankly and looked around the hall where the space around him had become vast and endless. Finally, his eyes fixed on Gou Chen's remains ten steps before his own steps: "...Donghuang Taiyi?"

There was Tao in the beginning, and Tao was with God.

"Tao" is an impersonal God, a correction force in direction. "God" is a personalized Tao, a continuation of "Tao". What the Tao pursues is to become a "God" that symbolizes the continuation of "Tao", and keeps its own intellectuality, memory and emotion. Whether it is Haotian God or Donghuang Taiyi, it is a grand and boundless personalized concept of "Tao", and has not yet become an entity, symbolizing a real spiritual position that can be achieved through falsehood.

"I should have thought of it long ago... The Haotian Mirror in the fairy's hand is a differentiation of the real product. The real body has been in the fairy's heavenly court, but the Donghuang Bell has never appeared before. What is left in the fairy's world is just legend..." Pei Chen just wanted to laugh loudly now, and a funny feeling surged in his heart, feeling extremely absurd and incredible.

The clock waves didn't ring, and they were silent.

Finally, He calmed down and asked expressionlessly: "Will I know these things now mean the time has come?"

"Yes, from now on you, and you can gradually return to your original appearance and original nature."

"So? I will become the Emperor Gou Chen?" Pei Chen sneered.

As if he sensed his resistance and disagreement, Zhong Bo paused: "It is not that he became the Emperor Gou Chen, but that he has changed back to the Emperor Gou Chen... You were Him, but now you can't remember and forget all the past, but this cannot change the fact that your essence is still Him."

Pei Chen took two steps forward, staring at the remains of the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Body with the crowned flowing beads, and illuminated it in a quiet voice, as if he wanted to show his firm will: "But, I would rather be myself!"

If you really awaken the so-called "past events", then is yourself still yourself now? The same is all about empathy and personal experience, but one is a life of 100 years and one is a life of 10 million years. Do you think that is your main memory of experience? That period is the true self?

"How can you know who you are?"

"But I am Pei Chen, not Gou Chen!!" Pei Chen was upset, his tone was irritable, and his voice suddenly rose.

"... Then why do you call Pei Chen?" The Taoist god born from the innate treasure was still unhurried and said leisurely, but this time he used another ancient language. The fatal thing was that Pei Chen understood it immediately.

It is a language in ancient ancient mythology, with an unusually strange pronunciation, slightly related to ancient Chinese, similar to a lineage and branching. However, in this language, the pronunciation of the word "Pei Chen" is exactly the same as the word "Bei Chen"

The pillar of heaven is high and the northern dragon is far away, and the stars are arched by it.
