In many classics and records, the long river of fate and the long river of time are confused.
Because in the eyes of many people, time and destiny are inseparable, even integrated, just like if you travel to the past and change the past, you can change your destiny.
For example, it's like Bi Xia traveled through time and changed everything, just like changing fate.
In fact, Huang Shang thinks so too.
In his view, if one has the power to control time and can travel to the past or future, then one can make different decisions at critical moments and thus change one's destiny.
Because of this, he was unconvinced about the legendary river of destiny recorded in "Tao Zang". He even doubted whether this river of destiny really existed, or whether the river of destiny was the river of time.
, it’s just that the names of the two are different.
As for the so-called unseen, unmeasurable, and unobservable sayings, they are purely mystical.
But until now, standing in front of this gorgeous river, Huang Shang inexplicably understood the sentence recorded in the Taoist canon, and also understood that the river in front of him was the river of destiny!
Because it was different from the river of time he had seen before. Although he could see the river of destiny at this moment and even see various pictures in it, these pictures would completely disappear from his mind in the next second, as if they had never existed.
Except for the word "River of Destiny", there was no memory or description of the "River of Destiny" in his mind!
The so-called unseen, unmeasurable, unobservable, that’s it!
"This is the river of destiny!"
At this moment, the voice of Saint Taiqing rang out from Huang Shang's mind again: "Under the saint, there is an unobservable, unseen, and unfathomable river of destiny. And even if one obtains the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, he can only
Just see the fleeting fragments from it."
Having said this, Saint Taiqing paused for a moment, then pointed to the many tributaries converging in front of him and said, "Look carefully!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his right hand, and a Tai Chi diagram shot out and floated over Huang Shang's head, emitting black and white rays of light that enveloped Huang Shang.
Under this black and white light, all kinds of pictures that were extremely difficult for Huang Shang to see clearly, and would be completely erased from his memory the next moment once he saw them clearly, gradually became clear, and these pictures did not disappear from his mind.
Dissipated away.
It was only at this moment that he finally saw these coherent pictures clearly.
But the images presented in these pictures made his expression change!
Among the numerous, almost countless tributaries, he saw many scenes about the Battle of Blood Prison and Youquan, and he was present in every scene, but the strange thing was that in every tributary there was
The pictures are all different.
In some scenes, he was not helped by the second personality. Instead, the second personality was eroded by the incarnation of the Yuanshi Demon, and eventually took over his body, transformed into his appearance, and finally helped the Yuanshi Demon escape from trouble!
In some scenes, he used the power of the Immortal Killing Sword Diagram in advance. Although he killed Anubis and others and destroyed the gathering demon, Constantine still seized the opportunity and opened it.
The seal released another part of the Yuanshi Demon!
In addition, there are other scenes where after temporarily integrating the priesthood and power of Emperor Fengdu, he did not use these powers to deal with the Yuanshi Demon, but used them to strengthen his own domain and evolve the Kingdom of God, in an attempt to seize the time to make himself
The domain evolved into a real kingdom, but in the end, it failed to destroy the congealing Yuanshi Demon in time. He successfully condensed part of his body, then opened the seal, released the original body, and killed him on the spot, and even his soul fell on it.
In the hands of Yuanshi Demon, he endured endless pain.
…
Countless pictures represent countless different endings after different choices.
But no matter which ending it is, the final result is that Yuanshi Tianmo escapes from trouble. Even in one of them, he almost made no wrong decisions and completely used all his trump cards and the tributary picture of Zhu Xian Sword Diagram. Although he destroyed
He defeated the Yuanshi Demon and even influenced Constantine in the first place, but in the end, Constantine used the power of the Immortal Killing Sword Diagram to completely break the innate Five Elements Formation and release the Yuanshi Demon.
And looking at the countless endings, he suddenly discovered that the current ending was the best!
Although the Yuanshi Demon has indeed escaped from trouble, it only escaped with a broken body and limited power. It also absorbed the evil thoughts of the entire Blood Hell Spring and burned all the evil ghosts and monsters, thus greatly increasing the power of the Yuanshi Demon.
How difficult it is to help another person get out of trouble.
Coupled with the fact that Ksitigarbha Buddha has achieved enlightenment, this result is actually better than expected.
"this……"
Seeing this scene, Huang Shang suddenly understood what Saint Taiqing meant.
It turns out that this is what is called destiny!
It turns out that this is what is called doing your best!
Just like in "Avengers 4", Doctor Strange used the time stone to peek into the future and discovered countless futures and the only chance of victory. At this moment, with the help of Saint Taiqing, he can also see through the river of destiny.
to countless futures.
In these countless futures, every choice he makes will affect the course of things, and even affect his own life and death, but he still cannot prevent the Yuanshi Demon from escaping.
And this is called destiny!
"So that's it..."
After a while, Huang Shang came back to his senses and showed a wry smile.
He originally thought that the so-called saints were just powerful and powerful, but now it seems that the realms and levels of the two sides are not in the same dimension at all. Just like this Taiqing saint, he can even see clearly every tributary of destiny by observing the long river of destiny.
Then you can choose the tributary that is most suitable for you and guide it to achieve the results you want.
What is the ultimate strategy?
This is called the ultimate strategy!
No, this is simply cheating!
"you understood?"
Seeing Huang Shang's sudden realization and then wry smile, Saint Taiqing smiled faintly.
"Disciple understands!"
Huang Shang nodded, but then he couldn't help but said: "However, I still have one thing that I don't understand..."
Having said this, he hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Since the Master can observe the long river of fate and guide things to develop towards the results that the Master needs, why don't the three goddesses of fate stop them? Logically speaking, as the master,
The goddess of fate, and they are both in the realm of saints, so they should be able to do things that the headmaster can do, right?"
"But why did it end up like this?"
This is also what puzzles Huang Shang the most.
As far as he knows, even the Sanqing Taoist ancestors cannot compare with the three goddesses of destiny in terms of understanding and controlling the way of destiny. It is precisely because of this that in the ancient times, Heavenly Court and Olympus had many conflicts and calculations.
Falling at a disadvantage and suffering a big loss.
If this is the case, then why did Taiqing Saint get his wish this time?
Didn't the three goddesses of fate expect this result?
Or is there another reason?
