Chapter 2391: Name

Chapter 2356

“......All heavens myriad realms spread grand sound, eight wilderness six harmonies manifest prestige name!”

The white-haired storyteller, with a pat of his wake wood, exclaimed: “Exactly said — ‘All lords see him low one world, three feet green front shave absolute peak. Heaven path deep sea roam traveler, myriad realms flood ferryman!’”

That real wood made a "stop speech" sound, directly smashing onto the lecture table, precisely breaking a pillar of heavenly light placed there.

The micro dust within the light pillar danced in chaos, like the swirling turmoil of a human heart.

“Good!”

“Sir speaks well!”

The applause of the listeners did not stop.

The hunched storyteller sat under the shade of a not-quite-covering awning, picked up the wooden hammer wrapped in red cloth, and struck the copper gong hanging beside him once, emitting a long sound.

Then, the copper gong was inverted and placed flat on the lecture table. Pushing the gong forward, he leaned back, stroked his beard, and leisurely said: “The story of True Monarch Jiang shaving the absolute peak thus ends one segment. The next section I want to speak of is True Monarch Jiang and True Monarch Li's past life thoughts, their grace, resentment, love, and hate, with the story of another man inserted among them. The cause and effect between them are entangled for twelve years. The plot within this... humph humph, truly wonderful!”

Three layers deep, three layers outside, surrounding the awning, the crowd listening with relish came forward one after another, throwing knife money into the copper gong.

The storyteller finished his tea and took a glance, continuing to hold their attention: “Ru Qing Layman's latest masterpiece tells the most wonderful story of this era. The two youngest True Monarchs in the present world, the later generations who emerged from the absolute peak forest, immortal monuments in the long river of time. There is a saying, ‘Under heaven Li one, above heaven Jiang hope!’”

His words stopped here, he put down his teacup and cupped his hands towards the four directions: “Those with money hold a money field, those without money hold a person field!”

Ding ding dong dong dang dang.

“Hey! Grandpa just loves listening to this segment!”

“Money given, speak quickly speak quickly!”

“Candle fire urges the brow, ants crawl in the heart. Cannot bear it, quickly quickly speak the follow-up!”

The sound of knife money being thrown into the copper gong, mixed with the anxious urging and cheering sounds of the crowd, truly created a wonderful symphony.

Speaking one segment so passionately every day, enjoying it, hey, he also earned enough to eat and drink.

The storyteller contentedly took the copper gong, just planning to say "And listen next time decompose" before going home, when he suddenly felt a piercing gaze. Subconsciously turning his head to look, he saw a particularly fierce man in the middle of the crowd, casting a suffocatingly fierce and evil glare.

If he stepped out of the awning with his front foot, his back foot might just land in a morgue.

Although the storyteller was old, he hadn't lived enough yet. He unconsciously shivered and sat firmly in place, lightly coughing: “Although the storyteller's time is full, the old man is still not satisfied. This story of heroes, surging in my heart, makes me unable to sleep! We will speak another segment, rest when the sky turns black, all of you listen quietly —”

He patted the wake wood.

He then vividly began speaking: “Yet it is said that Jiang Hope that year was still just a youth in a remote small town. At that time, Li One was already famous under heaven, only his origin was in doubt, with diverse opinions. On that day, flowing clouds were in the wild, and red glow filled the sky...”

At this moment, a man with soft features and a warm temperament leisurely walked through the crowd, flicked off the corner of his clothing, and sat down next to the ferocious man who was glaring and intimidating the storyteller —... ..

There were originally no empty seats, but the moment he sat down, an empty seat appeared. And the people around were completely unaware.

“Who would have thought, the renowned Chai is actually bored to this extent. In this insignificant floating land world, he intimidates a small storyteller.” Every movement, every word, every smile of this person possessed a kind of feeling that made people exceptionally comfortable. Even the sound he emitted was like this, following the listener's subconscious expectation, naturally and smoothly, like water flowing into a channel.

At this moment, he sat on the other side of the long bench, looking up at the storyteller on the stage. His face was full of interest, and his mouth was casual: “This segment of the story is truly heart-shaking and soul-stirring to listen to. Your Excellency sits here, isn't it difficult not to worry for the demon race? Don't you think about how to handle that above heaven Jiang Hope?”

The man called “Chai” supported his knees with both hands, sitting still and listening to the book, not moving at all. Only a slight frown, and his temperament was greatly different!

The ferocity he had deliberately shown on his face had disappeared, returning to his posture of overlooking the world, and he said in a light voice: “Your human race has occupied the present world for three great eras, yet you still cannot shake off the petty small-family air of that thief origin. No matter what heights you reach, you are still inherently timid and cowardly, wanting to entangle everything. Huang Wei Zhen is busy with a hundred things yet still wants to draw lines and drop pieces, with his eyes set below transcendence, truly laughable. How could this seat be like this?”

The scholarly man was not offended at all, only laughed in a warm voice: “So you sit and watch everything happen? Heaven path deep sea, he alone remains to roam. Afterwards, won't all the heavens and myriad races be controlled by him? Like this for a long time, this God Firmament battlefield also seems to have no necessary opening. Yu Zhen's painstaking scheme was just like a dream.”

Chai said lightly: “The more pressure you exert today, the stronger his resistance will be tomorrow — this is a loyal piece of advice from a newcomer.”

The demon race indeed had the qualification to call themselves "newcomers" in front of the human race.

The scholarly man slowly and methodically tidied his clothes: “I hear there is one called Qi Guan Ying, who abandoned all blessings and made a great vow, wanting to protect all the true demons of the demon race in becoming Dao, and with this wipe out Jiang Hope's influence in the heaven path deep sea. This is very difficult to evaluate. Only there is no reason for a thief for a thousand days to guard against a thief for a thousand days? The effort he wants to expend to win over Jiang Hope is ten or a hundred times. That was originally a seed with the opportunity to impact transcendence, but now it is trapped in the future, tired and running, truly pitiful — do you truly not plan to do anything?”

Chai's face was expressionless: “One generation always has one generation's opponent. If they still want me to come out for this, and want me to come out for that, and now they can't even solve Jiang Hope's threat — exterminate the race, that's good.”

The storyteller was still speaking, and the listeners were still listening by the side.

The sound was only transmitted between them.

The scholarly man laughed: “This kind of light and airy, letting go of everything posture, if other great demons said this, I would certainly not believe it. Only when you, Chai, speak like this, it still has some persuasive power. You always do your own things, and do not seek the final result too much.”

“But you still specifically freed your hand to come and stare at me. Ying Yun Nian, after so many years, your care for me has not lessened at all.” Chai listened to the storyteller's half-true, half-false bluffing story, yet his eyes did not blink, and he only said: “On Too Ancient Mother's side, who went to stare?”

Chai, Ying Yun Nian!

These two, recorded in history books, former great enemies of transcendence, were actually sitting in this small tea shed in the floating land world! ... ..

Chatting idly here, listening to books, drinking broken tea soup that cost one knife money per bowl.

Existences like them, even if only a wisp of their consciousness descended, would be enough to shake the heavens and move the earth, overturn the world.

And the entire place was ignorant, people living their lives as usual.

The ignorant ones indeed had no need to fear.

“That's well said!” Ying Yun Nian avoided information about Too Ancient Mother's side, only laughed in a light voice: “You borrowed me to become Dao, are you still not allowed to care for you?”

“At first, you and I contended for years, killing each other at the end of the Heavenly River. That three-life orchid cause flower, grown on the corpse of Pu Xian, dyed with the blood of Bi Lu Zha Na Rulai, is empty and eternally illusory. I obtained half a flower of the present and a whole flower of the future, you obtained half a flower of the present and a whole flower of the past.” Chai felt the human presence in this small tea shed, without any ripples, and said in a flat, quiet voice: “You obtained Dao in the past, I obtained Dao in the future. Isn't this exactly what you happily saw?”

The floating land human race is the fire seed left by the human race in the distant ancient era's “Valley Rain Plan”. After the human race dominated the present world for several great eras, a huge barrier had already developed between them and the present world human race. In the coming God Firmament great world, which was about to explain the Dao to all the heavens and myriad worlds, the floating land human race should have originally been part of the myriad races alliance —

If Wu Han Gong had not preached here that year, if the change brought by Jiang Hope and the others had not occurred.

Wanting to break through the limits, break through the world barrier, and challenge the overlord of the present world was almost a necessary path. With the fall of a whale, myriad things are born, overturning the present world human race, and all the heavens and myriad worlds can be fertile for many years.

Now, the time was naturally different.

The guardian god of the floating land world, Qing Huo Qi Ming, and True Monarch Jiang Hope, the flag of the human Dao, are friends.

Li Feng Yao of Ice Phoenix Island, Prince Jiang Wu Xie of Qi Country, the little holy monk of Suspended Air Temple, and even Mo Jia Xi Ming, all have connections in the floating land world.

The entire floating land is renewed every day, and the currency circulating in the floating land now is all Qi system knife money.

When the God Firmament war opens, the floating land human race will naturally belong to the side of the present world human race.

This is not a help that can be without. After Ji Huo Yu Xiu supported the sky and Qing Huo Qi Ming supplemented the ground, the world's upper limit had been broken, and the entire floating land world achieved a fundamental leap. Its potential was greatly different from the past.

Coupled with the intersection of Wu Han Gong, the “Mountain River Broken Dragon Demon Skill”, and the Qi Huo Ru Shi Bowl...

Chai sitting here, Ying Yun Nian immediately following, this can then very well explain the problem.

“The three-life orchid cause, both of us are adding flowers to brocade, it has never been the only key to obtaining Dao. You now borrowing me to become Dao is even more of a loss on my part.” There was a bit of regret in Ying Yun Nian's tone: “I hope you become Dao at this time, and also regret that you become Dao at this time. You want to catch the opportunity to become Dao before the God Firmament opens, to increase the deterrence of the demon race, grasping only this one opportunity — where is that called true transcendence?”

“Don't use this tone. You are a person who wants to be fully prepared for everything. Celebrating success before the grand situation is decided is not your style.” Chai laughed boldly: “Transcendence is to have all freedom. Fighting for the demon race is exactly one of my freedoms. Ying Yun Nian, you wouldn't truly think you've won me over, would you? This game of chess has just begun, what harm is there in letting you go first?”

“Just standing from my personal perspective, I hope to fight hand-to-hand with the strongest Chai. But standing from the perspective of the overall situation of the human race —” There was a bit of seriousness in Ying Yun Nian's tone: “Chai, if you contend with me again, you will undoubtedly die.” ... ..

As former opponents, life and death enemies who killed each other all the way to the end of the Heavenly River. Ying Yun Nian understood Chai's terrifying aspects better than anyone else. Even if he had planted flowers in the God Firmament world, he believed Chai would certainly become Dao.

But the time of becoming Dao was a very big problem.

He believed that if Chai was willing to wait, he could also become complete like him, naturally. But being eager to achieve before the God Firmament opens, drifting with the flow in the long river of fate, and even borrowing his east wind to become Dao — is his kindness, Ying Yun Nian, so easy to take?

Past and future were originally equal.

Now the fruit of the future is tied to the cause of the past.

From now on, Chai would have to bow his head to him!

“Specially putting you from Yu Abyss to target me is precisely because you have this advantage over me. And this advantage is again because you used irregular means to force me out. Originally, if I risked it and achieved in the chaos sea, hiding my transcendence, I could at least offset half of your initial momentum —” Chai's words were very unwilling, but his tone was flat: “How would I know that everything would be exhausted, and there must be heaven's jealousy. The human race has taken everything and achieved everything, already at the time of disaster, wanting to experience sorrow at the peak of joy.”

He emphasized and added: “The irregular Huang Wei Zhen must receive heaven's rebuke. It's near at hand.”

Walking out that step of transcendence in the depths of the chaos sea... it was simply insane! It was seeking death! As if transcendence was not dangerous enough, not difficult enough!

But on the body of Chai, who had abandoned transcendence in the God Firmament world to plant flowers, it was so natural. In order to regain a point of initial momentum, Chai was capable of doing it.

“You've learned the ways of this omen witch state!” Ying Yun Nian laughed: “I only know that ‘man can conquer nature’. And you, Chai, hoping for the so-called heaven's jealousy and heaven's rebuke, seem to have already lost confidence! Looking back at the long river of time, the most favored by heaven was the Yi Luo race, where are they now? What about that Chai who blocked the soldier front of Ji Yu Su that year? At that time, did heaven's rebuke help you?”

Chai's eyes were still on the storyteller, but the corner of his mouth lifted, and he also smiled: “Today I was in the mood, so I sat here, originally wanting to listen to my own story, I heard they were going to speak of legends — in the years before, the legends sung in all the heavens and myriad worlds were perhaps all about us. Now, it's all some young people, what Li One, Jiang Hope. How many years have they just been out?”

“Yes, ah.” Ying Yun Nian sat with his arms crossed, his posture elegant: “Even in the initial years of the Dao Calendar, in the glorious great world, when heroes rose together, the demon race could still speak of you, Chai, and speak of Hu Bo Qing — but now, before Jiang Hope and Li One, there are not many young later generations of the demon race worth mentioning. Brother Chai, the big ship is about to capsize, why not disengage early?”

Chai did not refute, only said: “So Yu Zhen and Yuan Xi's foresight is only this. The God Firmament war has reached a point where it cannot not begin.”

Two transcendences, always not facing each other head-on. Like a pair of ordinary "book friends", sitting here together to listen to books.

An ordinary long bench, very much like the Yi Luo Heavenly River of that year.

They always stood opposite each other at this end and that end, upstream and downstream.

“You foresee failure?” Ying Yun Nian asked with a smile.

Chai was quite serious: “What I see is the future.”

Without waiting for Ying Yun Nian to continue speaking, he again, like an ordinary listener, raised his hand and asked loudly: “Old sir! You speak of Jiang Hope as being this fierce, but I still don't know what his honorific title is! For example, Li One is ‘Tai Yu’, Ji Zuo is ‘Ling Chen’, what about this Jiang Hope?” ... ..

The storyteller in front of the lecture platform was not stumped. He stroked his beard, shook his head a couple of times, and finally said: “At this time today, there is no one who can decree a name or give him a title. Whatever the world calls him, that's what he'll be called!”

Ying Yun Nian clapped his hands and laughed: “This is exactly ‘name’! Old sir truly understands the meaning!”

“Old sir, I suggest you flip through the old classics. Although young heroes are eye-catching, they cannot truly act as the main characters of an era, and you cannot see a story that can be supported. The previous story has not yet ended, the newcomer is a bit too eager!” Chai laughed heartily, stood up, and strode away.

The storyteller sat there somewhat bewildered, scratching his beard: “Exactly, the old story has already turned a page, and the new story has just begun to be told, ah.”

He raised his eyes and looked into the crowd, but only saw the elegant and lonely sitting Ying Yun Nian.

As if from the past to the present, from the present to eternity.

Ying Yun Nian gave him a genial smile, and also naturally and smoothly disappeared into the crowd.

The coming and going of two transcendences, like passing water without a trace.

The words of two transcendences, no one could hear.

People were noisy, demanding that the storyteller continue speaking. The storyteller also felt very strange as to why he had stopped, shook his head, and continued speaking with saliva flying.

In the crowd, there was a unique stillness —

That was a youth with slightly dark skin, white teeth, and a red flame dot on his forehead. While laughing heartily and listening to the storytelling, he lowered his head and used starlight to write a letter.

Although he was the lord of this world, the “supreme” in the creation myth, he was completely unaware of a field encounter and brush-past.

Just like the people beside him, they also did not know that he was Qing Huo Qi Ming.

And how could the characters in the storyteller's story know how many listeners were outside the book?

I laugh at the world for its ignorance, and the world knows I am in the midst of it.

This was a slender and powerful hand, clean and dry, with distinct joints. Spread flat, the palm lines were clear, having their own order.

Starlight fell into the palm, like water in an abyss, like clouds in the sky, very naturally close. It cleverly swam and moved, finally swimming into floating land characters —

“Friend, when will you come for a drink?”

Jiang Hope, with a jade crown binding his hair, sat quietly in the grand chair of the Tai Xu Pavilion member. His pupils were deep like a calm sea, and his spine was straight like a pillar of heaven. His face wore a smile as he clasped his hands together, as if receiving a piece of mountain and river.

And there was starlight swimming in the star dome, the demon ape stepped out of the heaven path deep sea, jumped into the floating land branch stream, and laughed heartily — “Just at this time!”

In the Tai Xu Pavilion, he calmly looked forward, an empty seat before his eyes.

This was a Tai Xu meeting actively requested by Pavilion Member Jiang after he was promoted to True Monarch. In addition to the routine Tai Xu meeting, it was considered an extra session for the various Tai Xu Pavilion members.

Attendees included Ju Kui, Zhong Xuan —

Uh, none.
