"How do you know about the evolution of the world? And how do you know that the changes in people like Duan Lang aren't a variable within that evolution? Don't talk to me about cause and effect; simple cause and effect can't deduce a variable like me!"
"The world is constantly changing. How can you be sure that such changes are not part of what the world is meant to happen?"
"Furthermore, are you able to see through your own destiny?"
Xu Xiao asked the second question, a question he had asked the First Firmament before.
This question did not receive a definitive answer even in the First Firmament.
In fact, Xu Xiao has always been puzzled by one question.
It's understandable that ordinary people are unaware of their own destiny; but those who can predict the future, and even those who possess the power of cause and effect and the laws of time, are different.
How did they determine that the world has always been on the right path, and how did they judge that this was not some cause and effect within the world's evolution?
Furthermore, do they know that everything about them has been adapted into various films, TV series, comics, and so on within Xu Xiao's main universe?
Why can items from the main world, such as movies and TV shows, be used as coordinates for time travel? And why can a second time travel only be initiated in the main world?
Logically speaking, these powerful beings, no matter how strong, cannot see through the perspective of that dimension and are unable to know their own destiny, just as Xu Xiao cannot see through his own cause and effect.
However, judging from the Mahavairocana is portrayed in the comics, He is very clear about everything in the Wind and Cloud. So, does He know His own destiny?
Upon hearing Xu Xiao's question, the Mahavairocana Xu Xiao with a completely different gaze, but he did not speak, only silently watching Xu Xiao for a long time.
"You're not your average demon, are you? Or perhaps no, I should call you a transmigrator."
The Mahavairocana looked at Xu Xiao with a complicated expression.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiao, even though he was still separated by Duan Lang's clone, found his hand holding the chess piece suspended in mid-air.
'As expected, these guys do know about the special characteristic of transmigrators, just as First Firmament said.'
'In a sense, I am indeed a time traveler.'
Xu Xiao had already heard the answer to this question from the First Firmament.
The other party chose to give Xu Xiao a chance and cooperate with him because of their own transmigrator status.
'However, I've also searched the main world and found no trace of other transmigrators. And even if they were transmigrators, why can't films and television shows in other worlds with similar worldviews serve as reference points?'
These were questions that Xu Xiao had been pondering, but he couldn't directly ask the Mahavairocana. He could only follow His words and continue to explore information that Xu Xiao didn't know.
"That's right, you can call me that. In a sense, I should also be considered a time traveler." ' Duan Lang ' readily admitted.
"I told you, only lucky guys like you can freely cross the barriers between worlds and enter and exit one world at will."
"If I had that kind of ability, I wouldn't be stuck in this world, unable to leave and forced to secretly spread my faith."
The Mahavairocana spoke with great envy, indicating that He had also come into contact with other transmigrators.
"It seems you know a lot about beings like us. Could you tell me more? If you grant my request, I think there's no need for us to continue our conflict."
Xu Xiao was very interested in other time travelers, but he hadn't encountered any so far, nor had he found any trace of them.
Perhaps some unseen force prevents them from meeting?
"Hehe! I hope you can keep your word and deal with these few first."
The Mahavairocana pointed at Duan Lang and the others, indicating that Xu Xiao needed to express his sincerity.
"No problem."
Xu Xiao smiled in the courtyard and casually wiped the chess pieces off the board.
In the next instant, the Seed of Desire within the four lucky chosen ones— Duan Lang, Sword Saint, Jian Chen, and Jue Wushen —rapidly began to draw upon their power.
Then, before they could react or struggle, everything about them—their bodies and souls—was completely absorbed by the Seed of Desire and returned to Xu Xuanpin's body.
Every power comes at a price. From the moment they planted the Seed of Desire, everything was already in Xu Xiao's hands.
This is also why Xu Xiao is completely unafraid of any subordinates rebelling against him. Once the Seed of Desire are planted in them, everything they have becomes nourishment for Xu Xiao Xu Xiao, and their survival depends entirely on his mood.
Without Jue Wushen, the densely packed Blood Corpse also went out of control. Fortunately, when the virus was spreading, Xu Xiao used the other party as the mother body.
Once the mother dies, these Blood Corpse will also die one after another within an hour, and will no longer be able to cause new infections.
To be fair, Orochimaru is an extremely talented individual in the field of science, and he even has the potential to achieve great things through viruses.
At this moment, Xu Xiao personally eliminated all variables in the Wind and Cloud, except for those who were predetermined to be included.
The dense aura of calamity that enveloped the entire Central Plains suddenly swirled everywhere, with no one left to cling to.
The Mahavairocana waved his sleeve, gathering all the scattered calamity energy and temporarily suppressing it. Afterwards, he would need to recalculate this world according to the predetermined route.
After He finished doing all this, Xu Xuanpin, who was standing to the side, finally smiled and tore open a spatial rift with her hands.
" Mahavairocana, please!"
After realizing that the other side of the passage was just an ordinary world, Mahavairocana didn't say anything more and walked straight in.
Since He was merely a wisp of divine thought descending, even if the other party had ill intentions, He wouldn't suffer much loss and wasn't afraid of Xu Xiao setting a trap.
With one step, He arrived at Xu Xiao's small town manor where he was resting, and saw the smiling man sitting in front of the chessboard.
"Greetings, Mahavairocana."
Xu Xiao stood up to greet him, which was also a way of expressing his goodwill.
At their level, changing emotions is a trivial matter. One second they might fight to the death because of disagreement, and the next second they can greet each other with smiles because of shared interests.
"Ha! You were hiding right under my nose, and I didn't even notice. How strange."
The Mahavairocana at Xu Xiao, instinctively trying to deduce his origins, but seemed shrouded in mist, unable to see through him at all. (Disguise of the World-Crossing Gate )
The inability to see through it only makes one more wary!
The Mahavairocana Buddha sat cross-legged opposite Xu Xiao, and the two seemed to be engaged in a philosophical discussion.
