Chapter 959: Chapter 954: Target, 5000 Years Ago!

The Great Net of Karma Links.

After anchoring the brand-new karmic links, Lü Yang was in no rush to leave. Letting Ang Xiao seize the opportunity to attain the Netherworld was merely one of his goals for this trip.

Returning to that initial question:

"If I don’t limit it to my personal karmic links and expand the search scope to the entire Immortal Pivot, how can I find the karmic links that meet my requirements?"

The answer was very simple: it was impossible.

Not to mention he was currently only at the Middle Stage of Golden Core; even if he went a step further and became a Late-stage Great True Monarch, achieving this would probably be exceedingly difficult.

After all, he was too young. His karmic links simply could not trace back to distant eras. Regarding those ultra-ancient karmic links, he was like a kite with a broken string. If he wasn’t careful, let alone finding the desired karmic links, he might even get lost in past karmic links and end up perishing directly.

And to avoid encountering such a situation—

"I can only look for those who have experienced those karmic links and know how to choose," he muttered. Thinking of this, Lü Yang immediately changed his Daoist Hand Seal and deduced once again.

A moment later, his eyes lit up slightly.

"Found it!"

The Time Shifting Device in his hand turned slightly, and the light and shadows before him changed once more. Soon, a brand-new scene of karmic links appeared before his eyes.

"I can’t use this Fa at all!"

An angry roar came from below. Upon hearing it, Lü Yang felt it was perfect. He thought, "Full of emotion, appropriate effort. I’m really getting more and more skilled."

This was also his personal history.

He thought, "This is the point in time when the Bhagavat used the identity of the Vajra Realm Great Sun Tathagata to secretly descend to the mortal realm to meet me and invest in me as an angel investor."

Lü Yang wasn’t in a hurry. He waited patiently for a moment. After watching his past self leave, he finally dispersed his body of sinister wind, walking out from a formless and intangible state to block the Vajra Realm Great Sun Tathagata, who was just about to leave. Seeing this, the latter was momentarily stunned, only to smile in relief a moment later.

"Amitabha."

The Vajra Realm Great Sun Tathagata pressed his palms together and smiled, saying, "It seems the benefactor learns quickly. You’ve already learned to be a parasite of karmic links so quickly."

"A parasite?" Lü Yang asked curiously.

The Vajra Realm Great Sun Tathagata nodded. "Roaming the Great Net of Karma Links to seek personal gain for yourself. Is this not being a parasite of karmic links?"

These words instantly reminded Lü Yang.

That’s right, the Great Net of Karma Links still had this use. Even if one didn’t actively interfere to Change Cause and Effect, as long as one had the intention, it could still be of great use.

He thought, "For example, when I comprehended the Primordial Sea of Light within Emperor Ying back then, I comprehended it a total of seven times. Now, I can easily return to that scene of karmic links from back then and comprehend it all over again in the exact same way. As long as I am not discovered, this won’t change any past karmic links.

"It really has to be you, Bhagavat! Others can only use the same fortuitous encounter once. But by relying on roaming karmic links, as long as I operate it properly and don’t let the scene of karmic links shatter, I can absolutely use it countless times! I can use it until I no longer want to!"

Lü Yang suddenly saw the light in his heart, but on the surface, he wore an expression of righteous indignation.

"Senior, you misunderstand me. How could I be someone who seeks personal gain? I came to find you this time for our plan. It is entirely out of public interest."

Hearing this, the Vajra Realm Great Sun Tathagata blinked. "Then speak, benefactor."

Seeing his meek and submissive appearance, Lü Yang was a little surprised and chuckled, "Senior... aren’t you curious about what point in time I came from?"

"I’m not curious."

The Vajra Realm Great Sun Tathagata closed his eyes and shook his head, saying, "And don’t tell me, either. If I know about this kind of thing, it will leave traces."

The mass of a Master of Dao was too immense, an overwhelmingly formidable existence to the mundane world. This was an advantage, but sometimes it could also become a disadvantage. Because their mass was too great, even just reaching out a hand, a single thought, or a single glance would trigger a violent reaction in the mundane world.

"So, Daoist, you may ask whatever you wish."

The Vajra Realm Great Sun Tathagata smiled slightly. "In fact, if the benefactor hadn’t come, this poor monk had already planned to commit suicide and sever all karmic links.

"As for this Tathagata Body, I can just undergo Enlightenment again afterwards.

"Only in this way can I leave no trace, and not attract the attention of..." Halfway through his words, the Vajra Realm Great Sun Tathagata wordlessly pointed to the space above his head.

Immediately after, he changed the subject.

"Of course, although doing so is troublesome and requires carefulness, it is not without its benefits. At least right now, my answers can be a bit bolder.

"Moreover, this place is a scene of karmic links. Its level of secrecy can be said to be only slightly worse than the Celestial Human Residual Consciousness. As long as what you ask isn’t too outrageous, I can answer you. However, Daoist, it’s best you think clearly before asking. I will answer one question at most, and then I will go die."

"I see."

Lü Yang nodded. One question, and dying immediately after answering. This way, even if the answer involved taboo knowledge, the karmic links could still be covered up.

Then there was no need to beat around the bush.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang spoke straightforwardly, "I have decided to make a move against the Netherworld. I will first trigger the collapse of the Netherworld, and then facilitate the Plan for the Collapse of the Other Shore.

"As for the method to make the Netherworld collapse, my target is the Road to the Underworld.

"However, I do not understand the history of the Netherworld. I only know that I must destroy the Road to the Underworld, but I know absolutely nothing about how to destroy it or at what point in time to do so.

"I request Senior’s guidance."

Lü Yang cupped his hands. This question was indeed purely out of public interest, concerning whether the Plan for the Collapse of the Other Shore could succeed. The Bhagavat was unlikely to deceive him.

He thought, "From this, it can be seen that even with a Master of Dao, there is actually room for negotiation. It’s just that I stood too low in the past and didn’t know what these Masters of Dao actually wanted. Now that I stand relatively higher, I can at least catch the Bhagavat’s eye, so I immediately have the opportunity to bargain with the Bhagavat."

Soon, the Vajra Realm Great Sun Tathagata gave his response.

"The establishment of the Netherworld dates far back to Ancient Times."

The Buddha’s tone was faint, as if he had fallen into distant memories. "Long before the Battle of the Masters of Dao, the Netherworld already had a prototype. However, at that time, Cultivated Demon had only created the Ghost Gate, without any other components."

The next second, his tone calmed down, returning to indifference.

"...Therefore, if you want to make a move against the Road to the Underworld, the best method is to trace back to the Battle of the Masters of Dao one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years ago.

"However, I advise you it’s best not to do that."

Speaking up to here, the Vajra Realm Great Sun Tathagata glanced at Lü Yang again, then shook his head. "You are too weak. You would die very miserably in that era."

"Even if I advance to a Great Perfected Lord?" Lü Yang asked in surprise.

The Vajra Realm Great Sun Tathagata nodded without hesitation. "It makes no difference. After all, that era... was precisely the era when the Masters of Dao resided in the world.

"The karmic links are too heavy.

"If you stir up the karmic links of that era, you will inevitably be discovered.

"This is also a backup plan left behind by..., ensuring that the crucial parts of the Netherworld will not be tampered with. Keeping the Variable firmly in hand and personally guarding it is also...’s style."

Incomparable dread.

Listening to the Vajra Realm Great Sun Tathagata’s explanation, Lü Yang only felt his scalp tingle. The other party didn’t even dare to use a pronoun to describe that mighty figure!

"So... if I go to Ancient Times, I’m dead for sure?"

"Dead for sure."

"Then don’t I have no chance?" Lü Yang asked directly.

At this point, the Vajra Realm Great Sun Tathagata remained silent for a moment, and only then did he smile. "That’s not exactly true. You can hitch a ride.

"Hitch a ride?"

"That’s right. By relying on the greatest Change Cause and Effect in history, within that storm of karmic links, you are merely an ant, and you will not trigger the senses of the Masters of Dao."

The Vajra Realm Great Sun Tathagata provided the answer:

"Go to five thousand years ago.

"Everything you wish to find is there..."
