Chapter 1653 Nothing can escape time
Chu Chen followed Shang Qing to his private room.
This was Chu Chen's first time in this room. The furnishings were extremely luxurious, the lights were bright, and everything was resplendent with gold.
A large chair was placed directly above.
As soon as Shang Qing entered, he sat down in a chair and pointed to the chairs below, saying, "Sit down and talk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he plopped down in the chair, but his back was very straight, looking like a student listening to a teacher's instruction.
Shang Qing glanced at Chu Chen and nodded in satisfaction.
"Indeed, after this experience, I have grasped the power of reincarnation and the power of space. It has been quite fruitful."
"However, there is still a gap between you being able to actually sit in this position."
Chu Chen was stunned after hearing this. He thought to himself that he was extremely anxious because he came here to save Blue Star and eliminate Long You, not to hear your praise.
He immediately stood up: "Your Majesty's words are kind, but this is an extremely urgent matter..."
Without stopping, he immediately gave him a brief account of Long You, the snow monster, and the entire world being frozen.
Shang Qing listened without any sign of impatience: "Long You has been dormant for many years, and there are clues to why he did this. He was originally dissatisfied with being banished to that world. He is still full of ambition and has never changed his ways."
"Holy Lord, do you know him?"
"Hehe, I have five disciples in this life. Speaking of which, Qinglian should call him Fourth Senior Brother!"
Fourth senior brother? Disciple.
However, it seems that Long You, this disciple, is somewhat disrespectful to Shangqing, constantly referring to him as "Shangqing" and calling him an "old codger."
"Your Majesty, is there a secret hidden in this?"
"Yes, it's a long story."
"Then let's get straight to the point."
Shang Qing gave Chu Chen a disapproving look and began to tell Chu Chen about his relationship with Long You.
After a stick of incense had burned, Chu Chen finally understood. To put it bluntly, Long You was too arrogant and ambitious. After becoming powerful, he wanted to kill Shang Qing and take his place.
After Shangqing saw through his scheme, he did not immediately eliminate him from his own ranks, but instead banished him to a space devoid of resources and the power of heaven and earth.
Thinking of our past relationship as master and disciple, I decided to give him a peaceful end. However, after many years, Long You remained unchanged and still coveted the position of the Lord of the Universe.
Therefore, in order to obtain the power of heaven and earth to enhance his strength, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of several planets to obtain the power of heaven and earth in such a vicious way, which is truly outrageous to both gods and men.
"Holy Lord, you are still too benevolent!"
"Hehe, it's not that I'm merciful. I could have killed him and quelled this disaster. But everyone's existence has its meaning. As the master of the universe, I should see the laws governing the development of the entire universe. Long You didn't appear out of nowhere. There's a cause and effect involved."
"Your accidental entry into the Dragon Netherworld through the chaotic passage was a kind of cause and effect, or perhaps everything was preordained by heaven."
"What is heaven?"
"What is Heaven? In the eyes of ordinary beings, the area above their heads is Heaven; in the eyes of a king of a realm, the upper space is Heaven; in the eyes of a lord of a world, the top of this cosmic firmament is Heaven..."
"And what about in the eyes of the Lord of the Universe?"
After listening to Shang Qing's words, Chu Chen continued to ask.
To everyone's surprise, Shang Qing shook his head: "I don't know either."
He... didn't know either, what exactly is Heaven? Or what is something above the universe?
"Hehe, in fact, whether they are ants or the master of the universe, the sky in their hearts is their sky."
Yes, what can escape the heavens within one's own heart? In a moment, Chu Chen had a sense of enlightenment.
However, he was anxious at the moment; the life of Lan Xing was far too important.
"Do not worry."
Shang Qing seemed to be able to see through his heart, and spoke gently.
"You are concerned about the beings on Blue Star because that's where you come from, but as a candidate to be the Lord of the Universe, you should think about all the beings in the universe, including Long You."
Yes, I am a candidate for the Lord of the Universe, and I cannot be biased. But the appearance of Long You can break this balance. He slaughtered billions of living beings. In a universe, there are always good people and bad people.
But there are no absolutely good or bad people.
However, harming living beings for one's own selfish gain is evil.
“I understand what the Holy One means. The Holy One teaches me to be benevolent, but to harm good for the sake of evil is not the universe in my heart.”
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Shangqing's murky eyes.
"Hahaha, just based on that one sentence, you are qualified to be the master of the universe."
"If you can embrace all living beings and distinguish between good and evil, then you are qualified."
"However, you are still weak. Tell me, what is the most powerful thing in this universe?"
What is the most powerful?
This has stabilized Chu Chen's position? Is Shangqing the most powerful? He controls the entire universe. Is Long You powerful? He can control space.
However, Long You is suppressed by Shang Qing, but what about Shang Qing? Perhaps there is an even more powerful suppressor.
Chu Chen shook his head: "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."
"Hehe, it is time. Time is the most powerful existence in this universe, and even in the space where all living beings live."
time?
Chu Chen understood that time is the most powerful force. Everything and every living thing is subject to time. Humans live for only a hundred years, and ants for even less. Flowers, trees, mountains, and rivers are all subject to the changes of time.
"As time goes on, everything will become a bubble."
“That’s right, you’re right. So, once you control time, it means you control everything.”
"Holy Lord, what should I do?"
"Go, learn through battle. There will always be a battle between you and Long You. You represent good, and he represents evil. When you can control time and turn evil into good, then you can take over my position."
"Don't worry, I'll give you the help you need."
After saying that, Shang Qing waved his hand at Chu Chen. Chu Chen felt a flash of white light, and when he opened his eyes the next moment, he was horrified to find that he was on the Giant Continent. The tall and petite woman beside him was carrying him under her arm and running quickly.
"You've offended the steward, we have to run..."
The familiar words and everything else plunged Chu Chen into a state of confusion.
Is this... him back?
Is this... time travel?
Is this the power to control time?
If Shangqing wanted to eliminate Long You, wouldn't it be very simple? Just send him back to his childhood and slap him to death.
Or, when you get it back to a sticky state, just throw it on the wall?
