"Tiandao wants to completely exterminate the human race in the Daoyuan Realm," Xia Daozu repeated again, "This is its way of self-protection."

A very extreme way of self-protection, which is worthy of the saying that the heaven is ruthless... Lu Qingshan thought silently, then raised his head and asked: "Is the White Walker a means of heaven?"

"Yes," Xia Daozu continued: "Tiandao wants to exterminate the human race, but the problem is that Tiandao is not a practitioner, it is the will of the world, and it is only a will.

Although it has great power that no one can match, it must respect the order of the world and cannot break the rules, let alone harm living creatures.

So it cannot attack the human race directly, can you understand this?"

This is easy to understand, just like the powerful and hostile intelligent robots in science fiction movies, but because the rules are written into the program when leaving the factory that they must not harm humans, they must not kill humans.

..... Lu Qingshan nodded, indicating that he accepted it well.

"The way of heaven can never interfere with the operation of the world, and there are many restrictions," Xia Daozu continued: "Therefore, the only way it can achieve its goal of extermination is to use force."

"For example, it affects the celestial phenomena and makes the land dry, or it causes continuous heavy rains and causes floods... This is the simplest way to use the power of celestial phenomena.

But as mentioned before, it cannot break the rules, so what Heaven can do is also very limited - whether it rains or not, it can control whether it rains according to its own ideas.

But when the weather should have rained, it couldn't stop it from raining.

Because, this violates the rules of how the world works."

Therefore, although thunder has often roared wherever I have traveled over the years, the thunder has never been able to really fall and kill me... Another doubt in Lu Qingshan's heart has been answered.

Here, Xia Daozu continued, "Obviously, affecting the celestial phenomena can indeed bring some trouble to the human race, but it is impossible to exterminate the human race through this."

"Humans are not that fragile."

"Other methods are similar. They just bring some trouble to the human race, but they are far away from the goal of annihilation of the human race."

"The human race is originally the most resilient race among all living creatures." Xia Daozu said with emotion.

"But... this was supposed to be a situation where Tiandao was helpless, but because of an unknown accident, it gave Tiandao hope."

"Accident? What accident?" Lu Qingshan asked, knowing that the next step would be the key point.

"Reincarnation is also one of the rules of the world. After death, people will turn into souls and enter the underworld, experiencing reincarnation and rebirth.

But in the ancient times long, long ago, I don't know what happened, and the power of guidance that allowed the souls of the dead to enter reincarnation became extremely weak."

"There are many dead souls who are unable to enter reincarnation because of this and can only wander aimlessly in the world, and the same is true in the Principle Source World.

Heavenly Dao seized this opportunity and dragged all the wandering souls into this lake."

"This is the origin of the White Walkers."

Gu Yiyi, look what good things you have done... Lu Qingshan's eyes twitched slightly.

Others don't know why the power of reincarnation became weak in ancient times. As the owner of the underworld artifact, how can he not know?

It is outrageous to say that the origin of all the turmoil in the Taoyuan world is because a certain Wangchuan spirit was lazy and took a "long nap"?

Xia Daozu's light and shadow swayed slightly at this moment, and the illusion visible to the naked eye became a little more ethereal.

"I don't have much time." Seeing Lu Qingshan's slightly strange expression, Xia Daozu did not hide his current situation and continued: "We must seize the time."

"As you can see, the way of heaven draws the souls of the dead who have not yet entered reincarnation, creating this lake of hell.

Then through the accumulation of time, these dead souls will accumulate resentment and gradually turn into ghosts - this is in line with the rules of the world."

Lu Qingshan was silent.

In the sky, it is not uncommon for wandering souls to turn into ghosts, which is indeed in line with the rules.

"When the power of these dead souls is enough, they will break out of the ice, wake up from the lake of hell, walk out, and then invade the human domain with the goal of exterminating the race."

"This is called the resurgence of the White Walkers."

At this point, all the secrets of the strange ghosts in the Taoyuan Realm have been revealed before Lu Qingshan's eyes.

However, it is obvious that these are not what Xia Daozu really wants to tell Lu Qingshan.

"The reason why you came to this world is because of the law of cause and effect, right?" His voice became solemn and he finally got to the point.

Lu Qingshan nodded.

"Then you should know that the White Walkers have revived once before you.

At that time, the human race in the Principle Source Realm was on the verge of extinction, and it was also someone who used the law of cause and effect to quell the trouble of the strange ghosts."

"Senior, is this the world of Taoism that we came to during that time of Karma and Taoism?" At this point, Lu Qingshan was already 70% convinced of the identity of the Light and Shadow Xia Daozu in front of him.

"No," Xia Daozu unexpectedly shook his head and said, "It was Taoist Master Nan'an who came that time."

Taoist Nan'an, the most powerful cultivator in the human race before the rise of Daozu Xia, was gradually surpassed by Daozu Xia... Some information about Taoist Nan'an flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind.

"Skills are close to Tao. Boy, with your attainments in swordsmanship, your cultivation level is not low." Xia Daozu did not hesitate to praise Lu Qingshan.

In harmony with the Tao, the ten realms are the ancestors."

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly and waited for the next step.

"What is the ancestral realm?"

"Ancestor is the source of Tao and the essence of the world."

"The ancestral realm, for monks other than sword cultivators, is to enter the core of the world and gain the power of the world..." Speaking of this, Xia Daozu patiently explained: "Sword cultivators come from the

Starting from the Nine Realms, we are taking a completely different path from us.

So I don’t know whether your sword cultivator’s ancestral realm will be the same as ours, or even whether your sword cultivator has an ancestral realm.”

This was something Li Qiubei had already told him, so Lu Qingshan was not surprised.

"Tao Master Nan'an has been trying to break the ancestors very early. Although he has never succeeded, he has been able to enter the Tao Source World... The Taoism in this world is actually an external manifestation of the Three Thousand Dao.

."

"In other words, understanding these Taoist teachings is beneficial to understanding the Great Dao, so Master Nan'an has been practicing in this world for a long time.

It was also during this period that the Taoist master of Nan'an and the natives of the Taoyuan world had a causal relationship, and finally helped the humans of the Taoyuan world quell the first plague of strange ghosts."

"Tao Master Nan'an and I are both teachers and friends. After I gradually advanced in cultivation and had the hope of defeating my ancestors, he poured out his experience to teach me, including his experience in the Tao Source World."

Xia Daozu continued: "Later, I broke through the ancestral realm and entered the core of the world. As I told you before, the world is divided into three layers, so if I want to enter the innermost layer of the world, I first came to the source world."

"I came to the Daoyuan Realm on my own."

"If the consumption of Daoyuan by the humans in Daoyuan Realm is a hidden danger in the eyes of Heaven, then my act of breaking through the ancestral realm and gaining world power is a direct threat to it.

——The power of the world is fixed. If I capture part of it, the way will become weak."

"In fact, due to some reasons, I, Pozu, am already a strong Po, very reluctant.

Therefore, I was caught in a flaw by the Heavenly Dao. Although I succeeded in destroying my ancestor in the end, I also suffered the backlash from the Heavenly Dao. As a last resort, I had to use the substitute method at the cost of splitting part of my soul to temporarily solve the backlash problem."

temporary?

Lu Qingshan frowned.

"After I destroyed the ancestors, the way of heaven weakened, and in order to stop losses, its desire to exterminate the human race in the source world became more and more urgent.

But in fact, it had already launched the second resurgence of the White Walkers three thousand years ago, but that time the White Walkers were still suppressed due to the law of cause and effect."

"It was calmed down by you boy," Xia Daozu added: "It was not just a simple calm. You boy even directly destroyed the source of the White Walkers, eliminating the possibility of the third White Walker resurrection."

"What a good boy, you're really capable..." he said leisurely.

In other words, the day when Xia Daozu broke his ancestors was pushed back three thousand years from the current time period... In this case, why did he see Xia Ming, who claimed to be Daozu, here?

Lu Qingshan had new doubts in his heart, but he was immediately clarified.

"However, Heaven soon found a way to make up for it," Xia Daozu's light and shadow became thinner and gradually became shapeless, and even his voice became fainter, "That's me."

"The part of my soul that I had to separate became the hope of Heaven to make up for all this."

"It used the time retrieval created by the Law of Cause and Effect to send my separated soul back to the chaotic time period when the Law of Cause and Effect took effect.

Then use the counterattack power that exists in the soul to devour my consciousness, and then merge it with the dead in the Lake of the Underworld to create the terrifying White Walkers you just defeated."

"As you can see, since this soul is only a partial fragment, it is extremely fragile and relies on death energy to maintain its shape. Once it leaves this lake of hell, it will dissipate.

Therefore, all it can do is sit back and wait here for your arrival, which is destined to come."

This is why the outside world "dare to ask the sun and moon to change the sky", but the King of White Walkers still has no reaction... Lu Qingshan's mood gradually returned to calm.

The way of heaven is just that.

"God has a thousand calculations, but in the end it did not calculate that you are stronger than imagined, nor did it calculate that the consciousness of my soul has not been completely wiped out, and there is still a little spiritual light left."

"Do you have any questions?" Dots of light were escaping from Xia Daozu's light and shadow.

After all, he is just a little bit of spiritual light, and its dissipation is the inevitable outcome.

"Senior, how serious is the backlash of Heaven's Law..." Lu Qingshan hesitated for a moment and said bluntly: "In my time, you have disappeared for a full 20,000 years."
