"There is a path, but there is no path …"
Zhang Shou muttered.
"I've heard this story since I was young. I've remembered it till today."
"Grandpa Zhang, if it was you, how would you choose?" Ling Ling asked.
Zhang Shou was speechless.
Ling Ling then knew the answer.
If Zhang Shou chose, he would choose to accept the arrangements and stay in the county.
It was as if he had accepted the Heavenly Dao's arrangement.
Ling Ling raised her head and looked at the three hundred meters tall giant elephant floating in the air before her, clenching her fist and punching towards the sky.
"The more powerful a Divine King is, the more he will know his own weakness. Some people might admit their own weakness and accept it willingly, but some people will disguise themselves and not let others know of their weakness. They will also not be discovered by those powerful existences.
What Ling Ling said made Zhang Shou's expression change again and again.
Amongst the kings of Pingping, Ling Ling's words were completely outrageous!
However, Zhang Shou did not stop him.
Ling Ling was still very young, only a few hundred years old. Naturally, she would not be as pious as the other kings of Pingping.
Since she was very young, Ling Ling had displayed astonishing comprehension and talent, especially the ability to sense the flow of laws. She also had a very strong resonance with the changes that had occurred in the world.
Although she was young, she could always say some words that made all the kings of Pingping and even Zhang Shou ponder deeply.
"Chaos Emperor is someone who wants to break the heavens. Presumably, all the kings of the universe know about him.
Ancestor of Human Race, who had already passed away, was also one.
Dhyana Dynasty's Champion Marquis was also one.
In that case, he is also one of them. "
Ling Ling stretched out her hand and pointed at Meng Fan's giant elephant.
"Grandpa Zhang, tell me, what is the Dao?"
This time, Ling Ling once again threw out an even deeper question.
The questions were much heavier than the ones she had asked before.
Zhang Shou was still unable to say a word, nor was he able to give a proper answer.
"There is no Dao in this world." As Ling Ling spoke, her eyes glimmered with light. "There are a lot of people who are leaving, and there are some who are starting to speak.
Every living creature, no matter how weak, no matter how long a child who could not recognize a single word, had his own path the moment he carried his luggage and walked out of the village.
When a pony hobbles to learn to walk, it has its own path.
When a sparrow flaps its wings, it has its own way.
When a spring broke through the soil and opened up a spring, forming a river, it also had its own path.
A brand-new path, who would know the end of it?
Except for those who were walking on the footprints of their predecessors, all the pioneers in this primordial universe were digging a new path towards an unknown destination.
Because it was unknown, it was confused, so there was no direction.
Then did they have a way, or was it a way?
If there was a path, where would it lead?
If Pathless, the descendents, stepping on their footprints, did not know that at a distance of thousands of meters, this path would break off without an end. Then, would the descendents discover that they had no path to walk on and go crazy, or continue to explore this path?
If one opened it up and reached the end, would that mean there was a path?
What if they take a different direction and take another path?
Ancestor of Human Race started to create another person. Ancestor of Human Race's death path disappeared, but his Human Race, under his hard work, went from a very weak race in the universe's wasteland to a powerful race. The universe was a wasteland with countless Human Race. As for humanity, there was no end to it.
However, those Human Race, some were even at the starting point of this dao. They followed the rules of humanity and established the rule of law, established the dynasty, established the empire, and wrote down their own history.
Compared to Ancestor of Human Race, they went too short.
If Ancestor of Human Race had walked a hundred or so meters, they might not have gone more than a mile.
Would they seek the true meaning of humanity?
Before they had even touched upon the true meaning of humanity, their empire might have already died.
Other than the human way, there was also Demonic Path, Spirit Demon way, etc. Compared to the human way, Demonic Path was more evil, and it was even shorter.
Ancestor of Human Race walked for hundreds of meters, leaving a long trail of footprints behind him.
As for Demonic Path, Demon Dao and Evil Dao, they only walked for several hundreds of thousands of years, or maybe even tens of thousands of meters.
Would there be someone else who would continue to follow the footprints of their predecessors and extend the length of each path?
Formerly walking in thorns and mists.
The newcomers, at least a hundred kilometers away, would not be pierced by thorns or plunged into the fog.
So, what if they reached the end that their predecessors had reached, and then moved on?
If there was a path to the end.
Is the Heavenly Dao still the only supreme great Dao? "
Ling Ling's questions were thrown out one after another.
Zhang Shou's expression turned from shock to serious, and then from then on, it was very gloomy.
Because he could not give an answer.
The Dao was like a mountain.
There were some Daos that had been traversed far by their predecessors, such that they formed a very tall mountain.
Some of the paths were very close to each other, leading to a small mountain, or even a small hill.
Some of the paths even had people walking them for the first time. It was unknown if they were paths or not, but it was still a mound of dirt.
In the long term, from Zhang Shou's perspective, these so-called paths were all jokes because these paths were merely mountains with varying heights, while the Heavenly Dao were high in the sky.1
However, when someone desperately climbed to the top of a tall mountain …
Using his flesh and blood as the stone, he stood at the peak of the mountain and raised the peak by seven feet.
The others followed.
Was there a day when these mountains and rivers could touch the heavens?
Zhang Shou's body trembled as he thought of this. He felt endless fear and intense fear. The firm faith he built was like a huge dam, but it was uncontrollable. A tiny crack appeared on it.
His entire body was shaking violently.
His eyes were wide open.
All of a sudden, Ling Ling stretched out her slender hand and gripped his trembling, withered hand.
"Grandpa Zhang, I have buried these questions in my heart for many years, but I just couldn't figure them out or say them out. It was only when Meng Fan appeared that I finally figured them out and was able to ask them out.
But I don't want Grandpa Zhang to remember these questions.
Grandfather Zhang, your entire life, has been spent chasing after the Heavenly Dao. Your belief, is indestructible.
"I do not wish to see your faith crumble in your last days and leave with countless regrets."
Zhang Shou watched as Ling Ling held his hand and gradually calmed down.
"Ling Ling, I'm already starting to suspect." Zhang Shou said weakly, "Once a thought is born, it cannot be stopped."
Ling Ling suddenly felt a little sad.
She felt she had said something she shouldn't have.
Zhang Shou said softly, "Did you know that I once thought you were that heaven chosen person.
It was as if you had the Heaven's Eyes. You could see the many essences of this primordial universe clearly, see through the laws, and even feel the will of the Heavenly Dao.
But very quickly, I overturned that idea. Do you know why? "
"Because I always say such outrageous things." Ling Ling chuckled.
At this moment!
The White-robed Celestial King rushed out in a panic and landed beside Zhang Shou. He said nervously, "Sir …" Then he could not speak. He only extended his hand and pointed in a direction.
He was pointing in the direction of the hourglass.
Zhang Shou turned his head in surprise.
There was no need for The White-robed Celestial King to say anything, he already knew.
At the same time!
Ling Ling suddenly stood up and looked at the floating giant elephant.
A crack appeared on the foot of the giant elephant.
