Chapter 1833: The Scheming
"So simple?"
Lin Mu was a little surprised.
"What else?"
Qilin smiled and said, "How difficult do you think it would be?"
"It seems that I am narrow-minded."
Lin Mu smiled and nodded.
"Before, on the planet, you can get the planet's blessing, and even use the powerful power of heaven and earth, which will bring many benefits."
Qilin smiled, "But at a certain level, you will feel that the planet has many restrictions and constraints on you."
"When you jump out of the scope of the planet, all the shackles and constraints will disappear."
"For us, the planet is our helper, and in the later stage, it is a shackle."
Lin Mu realized, "For the transcendents, the universe is probably the same, right?"
"That's right!"
Qilin nodded, "Before being promoted to a transcendent, they need to find various cultivation resources in the universe to improve their strength. When their strength is extremely strong and they can no longer improve in this universe, they feel that the universe is a constraint!"
"If you feel constrained, then just leave this universe!"
Lin Mu asked puzzledly, "Just like we are on the planet, we are bound by our hands and feet, so why not just go to space to overcome the tribulation, can't they leave the universe?"
"They should not have such strength."
Qilin analyzed.
"Where will they go after leaving the universe?"
Qilin asked.
"If the planets are divided into big and small, strong and weak, then will there be other more powerful universes?"
Lin Mu asked seriously.
"Maybe there are, but who knows?"
Qilin shook his head repeatedly.
"But for now, these transcendents cannot find other universes, or even if there are other universes, they cannot leave the universe we are in now."
Qilin said helplessly, "Now they are putting their hopes on destroying the universe. Once the universe is destroyed, they will naturally be unable to be bound."
"Isn't this crossing the river and destroying the bridge?"
Lin Mu was angry.
It's just like when he was practicing on Chenyuan Star. One day, he felt that Chenyuan Star was no longer useful to him, but instead bound him.
He simply destroyed Chenyuan Star and went to other planets.
"What can't they do for immortality?"
Qilin asked back.
Lin Mu was silent immediately.
Eternal life!
These two words are enough!
"Just practice with peace of mind!"
Qilin comforted Lin Mu, "It's useless to think too much now. You just need to know that the enemy is very strong. You must practice hard to turn the situation around."
"I know!"
Lin Mu nodded.
Then he asked again, "Does all the hope lie with me?"
It's not that he wants to escape this responsibility.
But this burden is too heavy.
All is on him.
Does the entire universe depend on him?
"Of course, we have also cultivated many other geniuses."
Qilin smiled and comforted, "These geniuses all have a pure heart and a great feeling of compassion for the world. Even if they practice to the level of transcendents, they will not do such unscrupulous things."
"Why are you so sure?"
Lin Mu was very suspicious.
"If it were you, at the level of transcendents, you could pursue immortality. Would you be able to resist such temptation?"
Lin Mu asked back.
"If it were me, the situation would be unpredictable."
Qilin told the truth.
"Then how can you be sure that they won't change their minds?"
Lin Mu continued to ask, "If they change their minds, wouldn't you have cultivated a powerful enemy yourself?"
"The people we choose are all of good character and kind by nature."
Qilin said firmly.
"This is not reliable!"
Lin Mu shook his head firmly.
If they are kind by nature, won't they change after so many things in the future?
Among so many bad people, are they born bad?
People will change!
"Or rather, we have something on them!"
Qilin looked at Lin Mu and told the truth, "These transcendents have lived for countless years, and their relatives and friends have long died. They have no worries. Their only belief is to pursue immortality, and their Taoism is extremely firm, so their ideas cannot be changed!"
"And the peerless geniuses we chose not only have innocent hearts, but also their relatives are still alive."
Qilin explained solemnly.
Lin Mu felt a chill on his back when he heard this.
So that's how it is!
"So, you helped my parents practice just to check and balance me, worried that I would change my mind in the future and join the Transcendents and become one of them?"
Lin Mu couldn't help but ask.
"That's right!"
Qilin said helplessly, "Otherwise, you have nothing to worry about, and with such an opportunity of immortality in front of you, will you really give up your future for the sake of all living beings in the universe?"
Lin Mu was silent again.
This is a question about the heart.
It is difficult for anyone to give a positive answer when faced with such a choice.
If parents and relatives are dead, everything will be hard to say.
"Use family affection to trap me."
Lin Mu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "You really took great pains."
Lin Mu was helpless.
Until now, he has been under Qilin's calculations.
Under Qilin's control.
Moreover, Qilin has now told him clearly.
He himself knows that he has been calculated.
But he still has to accept this calculation.
Could it be that he wants to kill both his parents?
"Other geniuses, do you also use such means?"
Lin Mu couldn't help but ask.
"It's even more stable than this."
Qilin simply told the whole story, "They all have partners, children, and more concerns."
"These partners and children are also the result of your deliberate efforts, right?"
Lin Mu asked again.
"Yes!"
Qilin nodded in agreement.
Lin Mu felt cold all over.
Although Qilin did it for all beings in the universe, in fact, it was also for himself.
Because he has not reached the level of a transcendent, once the universe is destroyed, Qilin will also die.
For himself, or in other words, for all beings in the universe, Qilin did this.
But Lin Mu really didn't like such calculations.
All the cultivation, all the important stages, turning points, even the life and death of parents, the choice of partners, and the birth of children were all calculated by Qilin.
This is really terrible!
He is simply living for Qilin!
He has completely lost himself!
Seeing Lin Mu's changing expression, Qilin seemed to guess his thoughts and quickly explained with a smile, "You don't have to worry too much. We didn't force them. We tried to follow their hearts."
"We just created opportunities for them to get close to those beautiful and powerful female cultivators. The same proud sons and daughters of heaven will naturally attract each other, and it is a natural thing to become partners."
"This is all their own will!"
Qilin smiled.
"In that case, you also arranged these women around me?"
Lin Mu asked involuntarily.
"Indeed."
Qilin admitted generously.
"Who are they?"
Lin Mu asked seriously.
"For example, Yunmeng at the beginning, you were just a humble outer sect disciple, still a teenager, just beginning to fall in love, and your defenses were at their weakest. We thought you would fall in love, but you didn't."
Qilin said truthfully, "After that, we also tried our best to create opportunities for you, and there were many female cultivators who came to you, but you didn't."
"Even so, we didn't force you, did we?"
Qilin asked back, "Everything is still your own decision!"
Lin Mu's expression eased slightly.
