Chapter 67: The End After the Four Thousand Bureau (Fourth Update)

Watching the silly, foolish appearance of the mysterious turtle as it fled in a panic.

Even if Jiu Jiu was still angry inside, it had mostly dissipated by now, because the mysterious turtle's intentions were very simple, and perhaps it hadn't even been intentional.

The only thing Jiu Jiu urgently wanted to know now was what kind of realization Gu Jiangming had actually gained from the back of the mysterious turtle.

【You land on the back of the mysterious turtle and walk beside Gu Jiangming, asking, "What have you realized from the Mystical Gate and Hidden Armor?"】

【"To be honest, too many people have seen these things that look like ghost-drawn talismans, but no one has ever been as calm as you. Many people have become mad and deranged because they couldn't comprehend them."】

【Gu Jiangming glances at you, hesitates to speak, and after pondering repeatedly, he seems to be organizing his words, "Actually, I am also in a stage of exploration. I can only say I have some realizations, but it hasn't reached the level I want yet."】

【"In my feeling, this is not like a divine ability; it is more like a certain algorithm of a Feng Shui master."】

【"An algorithm?" Jiu Jiu thinks for a moment and says, "Isn't that the deduction that gods often speak of? We can use the heavens to help us deduce some past experiences of mortals."】

【"But in the end, one can only see the general picture and cannot peek at the whole. Moreover, the higher a person's cultivation, the harder it is to deduce their past."】

【Gu Jiangming smiles, "This algorithm can only see the past that has already happened; that is to say, the past you deduce is everything that has already occurred."】

【"But the algorithm after the Four Thousand Bureau locks onto every possibility of the future, or even the present."】

【"Because there is not a single moment in this world that is static. The combination of individual changes causes the changes of the whole world. Every action of each of us, every movement of each of us, will trigger a new possibility."】

【The Flying Sword in Gu Jiangming's hand flies toward a rock wall on the sea surface.】

【This long sword pierces straight through the rock wall.】

【"This is the change I brought to it. A hundred years later, a thousand years later, ten thousand years later, this change will always exist."】

【"But this is merely a change I brought to a rock wall that no one cares about."】

【"However, how can you be sure that in these thousand years, it will remain here unchanged since ancient times?"】

【"Everyone, and even every object, has its own fate, and at the same time, its own different choices. Some people exhaust all their strength and cannot get what they want, becoming a part of the pile of bones that adds bricks and tiles for others. Yet, someone, with a single thought, can stir up the changes of Heaven and Earth. Fate seems to be fixed, yet it tells you that there are many situations that can appear."】

【"Actually, this so-called fate..."】

【"Is just making you think things are inevitable, because it tells you things that have already been set in stone."】

【"But true fate is not that."】

【"True fate is something that no one can grasp in their hands, and no one can easily affirm."】

【"In the Four Thousand Bureau, my fate is decided by me. After the Four Thousand Bureau, what kind of changes will appear... let future generations decide."】

【"And when I begin to use this algorithm, everything about fate becomes an uncertain variable."】

【Gu Jiangming's gaze pauses on you, "Do you know what this phenomenon of turning the impossible into the possible is called?"】

【"It is a miracle." Jiu Jiu thinks for a moment and says.】

【"The end of the Four Thousand Bureau is a miracle." Gu Jiangming looks at the ancient divine abilities carved all over the back of the mysterious turtle, savoring them carefully.】

【Gu Jiangming scans these ancient divine abilities. It must be said that compared to modern divine abilities, these ancient ones indeed contain the essence and wisdom of predecessors and sages, but they are still not enough to stand in the pattern after the Four Thousand Bureau.】

【You vaguely feel that to make the Four Thousand Bureau exert its true intended effect, one should not place ordinary divine abilities into the array of the Four Thousand Bureau.】

【In the 132nd year of the Zhenyuan Calendar, you finally decide to bid farewell to Jiu Jiu and enter the Nine Provinces again.】

【Because you know deeply that the longer you stay here, the more dangerous those Zhenggang Sect disciples trapped in Qianyuan will be.】

【After all, you are not even sure if your qualification for the Heavenly Array will be replaced by someone else.】

【Jiu Jiu leaves a strand of divine sense on you; she can pay attention to your situation at any time.】

If there is any dangerous situation at that time, Jiu Jiu will rush over immediately; this strand of divine sense was left for this very reason.

Although it is Gu Jiangming's past life, Jiu Jiu still does not want the other party to suffer even the slightest harm.

The scene shifts.

This is a piece of information that no one can see, currently in a state of silent operation.

【Qianyuan】

【"How is he?" The Heavenly Dao Leader coughs lightly.】

【"Still missing." Another person says softly in the shadows, "The Heavenly Array is not our true Senior Brother after all, but merely one of the Senior Brother's reincarnations."】

【"I thought he was the Senior Brother's reincarnation; he would eventually figure it out one day." The Heavenly Dao Leader sighs, "What a pity."】

【"Why not try to awaken his past life memories?" The person in the shadows slowly reveals their form; it is a face without a trace of blood.】

【"I have tried." The Heavenly Dao Leader walks a few steps, "It is useless on him."】

【"Whether he wakes up or not, it doesn't matter now." The Heavenly Dao Leader's voice grows colder, "He is only the Senior Brother's reincarnation, not the true Senior Brother."】

【"What we must realize is the ideal that the Senior Brother wanted to see."】

【"How can he, an empty shell with only the appearance, understand how great our cause is!"】

【"What we want is a world without differences, without war, absolutely fair... absolutely just."】

【"It is power, the demon energy in the Demon Race, the Spirit Qi in the hands of cultivators, and the endless divine power of the gods that created this difference."】

【"This is what makes mortals struggle bitterly in the red dust, become food for the Demon Race, be trampled fiercely under the feet of cultivators, and please the gods without receiving a shred of favor."】

【"If everyone lacked this transcendent power, then between Heaven and Earth would be the fairest world."】

【"I want to see, when the Demon Tribulation enters the world, in this great tribulation of Heaven and Earth, whether the gods will stand by and watch, or step into the Nine Provinces to face the tribulation, or assist the demons in overcoming their plight. No matter which path they take, they will violate the forbidden laws and lose the protection of Heaven and Earth, thus being destined to become a part of history."】

【A sound transmission from a thousand miles away suddenly rings out.】

【"Leader, the Heavenly Array has returned."】

【"Does he have any changes?"】

【"Cannot tell."】

【"Tell Li Jihuo that from today on, he does not need to partner with the Heavenly Array anymore."】

【"I will tell him myself why the Heavenly Dao exists."】

【The Heavenly Dao Leader slowly removes their mask and puts on a Bronze Mask engraved with 'Heavenly Fragrance'.】

【That long hair falls behind their shoulders.】

【You return to Qianyuan.】

【Others in Heavenly Dao tell you that because of your disappearance during this period, the Chief suspects you of defecting; Skyfire has therefore been punished, and from now on, the person who carries out operations with you for Heavenly Dao will be replaced by Heavenly Fragrance.】

【From the information you know, you only know that the other party is a cultivator who excels in medical arts, poison arts, and is proficient in alchemy.】

As expected.

The time spent missing was too long; even though he had returned, he was under strict surveillance by Heavenly Dao, but fortunately, neither Wang Jiangxing nor Yi Lezhi had encountered danger because of his disappearance.

And seeing that Heavenly Dao had even changed his partner, Gu Jiangming's mood immediately sank.

Although Skyfire did not communicate much with him, he had the advantage of being concise, capable, and would not stare at Gu Jiangming's every move.

Now that someone else had been swapped in, who knew what kind of person this Heavenly Fragrance was.

【The first time you see Heavenly Fragrance, you feel a faint sense of crisis and killing intent; the other party does not seem to have a good impression of you.】

【Due to the long time spent missing, you have accumulated many tasks that need to be executed; although many things have been handled by others, you must make up for the vacancy during this period.】

【Heavenly Dao orders you to immediately head to Jiangdu in the Nine Provinces to capture a drought demon causing chaos in the region.】

Continuing to release ten thousand words tomorrow.

However, for the sake of the normal reading experience of all you esteemed readers, the update time will be adjusted to the daytime.
