Xiao Zibai looked at him silently for a while, then took out a storage bag from his arms, lowered his head and began to search in it.

The old man stared at him curiously: "Hey, what are you looking for?"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Zibai had already taken out a few bottles of medicine for the damage of the soul from the storage bag, handed it to the old man, and said earnestly: "If you are sick, you need to take medicine. Damage to the soul is a big deal, don't give up. treat."

The white-bearded old man stared at the medicine bottle in his hand, as if the medicine bottle would grow sharp teeth at any time and jump up to bite him.

"Okay, okay, I knew you wouldn't believe it." He muttered, and suddenly stretched out his hand to press Xiao Zibai's shoulder.

Xiao Zibai felt that he should hide, but strangely, at that moment he didn't have the thought of avoiding at all, he just watched the old man stretch out his hand, and then gently pressed his shoulder.

——The next moment, he saw the whole world.

He saw that in the Qingyuan Realm, there was a sensitive deer leaping over the grass lightly, and the long grass blades brushed against its front hooves, and it stepped over it without hesitation, breaking a grass stem; he saw In the Scarlet Fire Realm, a fish is jumping out of the boiling river water, its tail fin is shaking in panic, the water surface below is turbulent, and some huge shadow is approaching quickly.

He saw the sun rising and the moon setting, he saw the tide rising and the wind rising; he saw a small flower blooming quietly, and he saw the sun break through the dark clouds and fall on the earth.He saw an infinitely dark universe, three thousand worlds floating in the darkness like fluorescent bubbles.

He saw the past, present and this moment at the same time. He saw that the broken grass stalks would shed juice and stain the deer's hind feet. rise.

He saw above Lingshan and below the pool, Tang Linzheng was holding him tenderly in his arms, his long blue and black hair hanging down his back, so quiet.

"Relax." He heard Tiandao's voice whispering in his ear. At this moment, the voice still sounded like an ordinary old man, but when he spoke, Xiao Zibai could feel the three thousand worlds echoing in unison. croon.

"Look that way—be careful not to let him notice you looking at him."

Tiandao didn't specify where "over there" was, but there was such a kind of understanding rising from Xiao Zibai's heart: it was so clear, he had absolutely no reason to resist.

Xiao Zibai raised his head, his eyes traveled through countless worlds, through numerous star seas, until they landed on a certain point in the void.

There grew a sycamore tree that pierced the sky and was burning with raging fire.

Subconsciously, he looked into the depths of the fire.

Xiao Zibai thought he would see a bird, or a person full of villains, but he never expected that he would see this.

His tall figure, fair complexion, long hair hanging over his shoulders like a waterfall, and even his laziness half-leaning under a tree are all familiar. Except for the red clothes and red hair, at first glance, this person is completely perfect. It's all a copy of the other guy.

"—Tang Lin?" Xiao Zibai said incredulously, and immediately realized that the person could not be Tang Lin.Tiandao's words also proved this point, whispering, he reminded Xiao Zibai: "No, that's not Tang Lin, it's Suzaku... Don't look at his face!" Tiandao's voice suddenly became anxious, but he spoke But it was too late, at the same time as he let out that exclamation, Xiao Zibai subconsciously turned his gaze to Suzaku's face.

As if sensing something, Suzaku under the plane tree suddenly raised his eyes and smiled at him.

The boundless universe came crashing down on him.

Tiandao took a sudden step forward, and quickly stretched his fingers toward the void. The infinite universe suddenly collapsed, as if someone hit Xiao Zibai's Nascent Soul with a heavy hammer. With a snort, he suddenly broke away from the mysterious state before, and staggered back a few steps, with fine cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Suzaku...how could...Tang Lin..." Xiao Zibai still hesitated, Tiandao sighed, and only said: "Injustice."

He patted Xiao Zibai's shoulder, changed the subject with a smile, "How about it, do you still doubt that I am the Dao of Heaven?"

Xiao Zibai looked up at him, who still looked like an ordinary old man, even a little funny, with so many laugh lines at the corners of his eyes that they could almost pile up.

"If you are really the Dao of Heaven." Xiao Zibai finally said, "Then why did you come to me?"

"Ah, this is a very long story." Tiandao pondered: "It is very long..."

……

If you can choose, Tiandao actually doesn't want to be Tiandao.

To be honest, Tiandao is not an attractive career choice: first, it has no hours limit, as long as you are conscious, you will work, work, work non-stop; To the boss who sends you money.Of course, in theory, everything in this universe is governed by the Dao of Heaven, but that’s just governed. If you dare to reach out and take even a stone, your professional ethics will remind you: “Don’t destroy the harmony between heaven and earth!”

No rest, no salary, no one will cheer for your work results, but will be blamed for things that have nothing to do with you.

"I've had enough of this kind of life 3 years ago!" Tiandao said to Xiao Zibai indignantly: "I used to think that I couldn't be more unlucky, after all, I don't have much awareness of being forced to perform the duties of Tiandao as soon as I appear. ...But in fact I was wrong, I discovered 6000 years ago that I can really be more unlucky than his mother!"

What is more unlucky than being a Tiandao?

Be the way of heaven in an incomplete world.

"That day, I was as usual, I opened my eyes and started to be busy—" Tiandao said, making an exaggerated gesture to show how busy he was: "—Think about it, three thousand World! There are all kinds of beings trying to break the rules in every world all the time. You only have one Dao, and what you have to deal with is hundreds of millions... hundreds of millions of beings!"

He showed an expression of extreme pain, Xiao Zibai hesitated for a moment, took back the medicine bottle in his hand, found a small bag of candied hawthorn from the storage bag, and handed it to Tiandao: "Try it?" With puzzled eyes, he emphasized: "It's pretty sweet."

Tiandao took the hawthorn in doubt, took out one and ate it, and then his whole face was wrinkled into a ball with soreness.

"Murdering the Dao of Heaven will violate the rules!" He warned Xiao Zibai, then he smacked for a while, took out another hawthorn and threw it into his mouth, chewing and saying: "But it's delicious if you taste it carefully .”

Xiao Zibai suppressed a smile and nodded.

"By the way, what did I just talk about?" Tiandao stopped chewing hawthorn, his eyes wandered in the void, Xiao Zibai reminded him: "You just said that you are very busy."

Tiandao nodded silently: "Yes... I am very busy, but I am very busy every day."

Xiao Zibai thought he was going to start complaining again, but Tiandao just said: "So at the beginning of that day, it was just an ordinary day for me, and there was nothing wrong with it at all."

"But since I started this way, something 'wrong' must have happened next."

"But I can't tell how it happened... It was like the young grass broke through the soil, or the breeze dropped the leaves, just like that, that happened, and then I suddenly realized that this world - something is wrong with this universe."

This world is not complete.

"Actually, it can't be regarded as incomplete. In theory, it is quite complete." Tiandao said, frowned, and ate another hawthorn: "There are some loopholes... like the world is missing, and the rules are not self-consistent. Ah, these little bugs I deal with every day, but then it dawned on me that day that I wasn't supposed to be dealing with this."

"This should not be the duty of Heaven."

Tiandao held a hawthorn in his hand, and his brows, which had few eyebrows left, were tightened: "Maybe the creator of this world is lazy? Anyway, this world was not created completely by him. I spent countless years making up for it." The whole world, and then I realized that this is not my responsibility, I am just cleaning up the mess left by the creator..."

He frowned deeply: "It's just that I don't understand why the creator of this world didn't finish the job?"

As Tiandao, he is omniscient and omnipotent to some extent, but his knowledge is still limited to this universe.So of course he didn't know that the creator of this world, the great and mysterious creator, the great god Arashio Sadahito, fully realized that the book could no longer be written by himself, so decisively ended it.

So, of course, he left a huge mess in the world.

If the person Tiandao found was Tang Lin, then Tang Lin might kindly dispel his doubts, but unfortunately the person he found was Xiao Zibai.Therefore, they can only look at each other in blank dismay, and no one knows the cause of all this, just because the creator of the world can't continue writing.

"However, don't care about him, anyway, I'm already Tiandao... Regardless of the creator of the world, I will naturally take care of it, otherwise the world will not continue to work and it will explode, and I will not do any good." Tiandao gave up and Xiao Zi Bai Bai looked at each other, he shook his head, sighed, and said, "Look, another disadvantage of the profession of Tiandao is that it is a lifetime system, completely tied up, and cannot resign."

He held up the hawthorn and looked at it for a while, then he stuffed it viciously into his mouth.

In the distant universe, Sadato Arashio, who was sitting in front of a certain computer and typing, sneezed violently.He rubbed his nose, and muttered, "I seem to have caught a cold... probably because Cavin has stayed up late these days. Forget it, the card is so hard, it should be unfinished, the body is the capital of the code."

After he finished speaking, he tapped the keyboard and began to let go of his unfinished ending, completely unaware that in a corner outside the universe, there was a heavenly dao cursing him with the most sincere feelings.

Tiandao gnashed his teeth on the poor hawthorn, Xiao Zibai could almost hear the rock sugar wrapped in the hawthorn creaking under his teeth.In order to liven up the atmosphere and prevent the overall atmosphere from becoming too gloomy, Xiao Zibai spoke bravely.

He asked Tiandao: "So... what does this have to do with you looking for me?"

"Of course it has something to do with it." Tiandao said without hesitation: "Otherwise, I wouldn't need to remind you of those memories of breaking the rules... Well, but, speaking of this..."

He hesitated for a while, maybe Xiao Zibai left a good impression on him, or maybe the bag of candied hawthorn played a role.In short, Tiandao opened his mouth with determination, and whispered to Xiao Zibai: "Your Tang Lin also has a similar memory, but I don't know what it is."

Tang Lin and Suzaku look too much alike, and they have "the memory of breaking the rules".If it were someone else, they might not be able to resist asking the bottom line, but Xiao Zibai was just stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "But that's not the point, why on earth are you looking for me?"

He never mentioned anything about Tang Lin.

Tiandao glanced at him, ate another hawthorn, and said vaguely: "There shouldn't be any major problems with those memories, so don't think too much about them. If there are really serious problems, the rules won't let him survive."

Xiao Zibai's eyelashes trembled. He didn't answer, but said, "The hawthorn you ate was made by Tang Lin. He only made two bags for me. You can eat it sparingly."

Tiandao choked, he swallowed hard, and then quietly glanced into the bag with his eyes: there were only two or three lonely hawthorns left in the whole bag of candied hawthorn, which were gathering at the bottom of the bag desolately, still looking very tasty.

He struggled for a while, and finally began to roll up the bag reluctantly, and while sealing the bag, Tiandao said, "Where did I just say... By the way, this world is not complete."

"This world used to have heaven, earth and four spirits, but only one died many years ago. I didn't know why they died before—because the three seemed to commit suicide—I only found out that day Answer: Because this world is incomplete, it will collapse if it continues to operate, so they use their own deaths to make up for the rules of heaven and earth."

"...And I didn't even think about asking them why they died." Tiandao fell silent, he looked older and more tired now.

"I suddenly discovered all this 6000 years ago, and then... I couldn't wait to find the last remaining one of the four spirits, and expressed my guilt to him." He murmured softly: "But I don't know , the remaining four spirits... actually don't know the cause of his brother's death. I told him, I told Suzaku."

Xiao Zibai's heart tightened slightly, and he suddenly had a very strong premonition about what Tiandao was about to say next—and it was not a good premonition.

Sure enough, the next thing Tiandao said to him was——

"Suzaku wants to kill me."

He looked at Xiao Zibai with genuine gloom in his eyes.

"You are the Son of Heaven, maybe you haven't noticed it yourself, but you are indeed the Son of Heaven."

Xiao Zibai pursed his lips, and said resolutely, "I won't call you father."

Heaven:  …

"No, that's not what I meant!" He hastily defended: "It's just a metaphor, it doesn't mean that you and I are related by blood—we really don't!"

Xiao Zibai didn't speak, just stared at him silently, like staring at a scumbag father who abandoned his young son and never returned for many years.

Tiandao felt that he was under a lot of pressure, and he tried hard to prove his innocence: "You see, I really haven't had any contact with any mortal...I admit that I once had a relationship but..."

He shut up all of a sudden, as if he had accidentally said something unspeakable, embarrassment and regret were written all over his face.

The atmosphere fell into an especially awkward silence.

"So? What does the Son of Heaven mean?" After a long time, Xiao Zibai finally broke the rigid situation. Tiandao heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly changed the subject: "Actually, the Son of Heaven is the one favored by luck. Man, there is one every once in a while. Was the last one 3000 years ago or 4000 years ago? That...well, that man, there was also a bird with him in the beginning."

"The bird Suzaku put beside him."
