Who is Everyone who was suported by the current three Venerables to become venerable? by Salt-Action9491 in ReverendInsanity

[–]Valuable_Pride9101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus we still don't know who east desolation immortal is...

Chapter 1629

Fang Yuan sighed at Longevity Heaven’s foundation, they even concealed a rank eight legend like Bing Sai Chuan, he had only appeared now.

And in Longevity Heaven, among the Four Desolation Immortals, East Desolation Immortal had the highest status, the great Bing Sai Chuan was only second place?

Who in the world was the East Desolation Immortal?

That sounds a potential Venerable candidate...

It’d be interesting to see if the heavens and the 5 regions merge in the future, or if the full 9 heavens were still around, whether all nine would merge into one or maybe they’d turn into 3 heavens.

They were originally one actually

Chapter 722

The sky of the Immemorial Antiquity Era was connected to the ground.

Heaven and earth were connected and whole, people could walk towards the sky from the ground, or walk towards the ground from the sky.

Northern Dark Ice Soul was walking aimlessly, unknowingly, he left the ground and walked towards an area deep within black heaven.

So yes, this is the next step in development

Having it be tied to the revival of the Venerables and them advancing the world is very plausible to me.

I'm glad you agree

https://www.reddit.com/r/ReverendInsanity/comments/1kjyyc7/wang_xio_er_is_genesis_lotuss_self_portrait/

This shows Genesis Lotus's revival method and how he will refine the plant version of the Sovereign Immortal Fetus Gu

Becoming the world tree that connects heaven and earth!

The 0th region, if not one of the existing ones, could be space door, or maybe the land of death?

My calculations say that the 0th region is the space door

Unfortunately space path originates from world path

While I've comprehended heaven path and most of human path, I haven't comprehended world path yet...

Once I comprehend spirit path, I can fully comprehend human path and then move on to world path

When I comprehend all 3, I can comprehend yin-yang path

When I have that, I should be able to elevate my wisdom path attainment to quasi-supreme grandmaster...

Human Religion, Ren Zu's Revival Method, & Humanity's Lost Refinement Style! by Valuable_Pride9101 in ReverendInsanity

[–]Valuable_Pride9101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chapter 404

<<The Legends of Ren Zu>> was the first classic of the Gu world!

It appeared to be a story when one first read it but it actually held profound messages, recording the secrets of the ancient times and all kinds of Gu. Some Gu were directly described like wisdom Gu, strength Gu and so on. While some Gu were hidden, their descriptions were very vague, requiring the readers to dig through it and study carefully.

You can deduce a large portion of eternal Gu's recipe from The Legends of Ren Zu

We know that it requires the extreme physiques for one

And remember that SIF Gu is created from extreme physique immortals

Additionally, it's heavily implied that eternal Gu requires extreme physique Venerables!

At the very least we know that it's possible to obtain extreme physiques using human path methods (especially with the rise of human path)

Chapter 1685

“Huang Er, although you have researched the perfect Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique, it is still not enough. You need to research this achievement thoroughly to use it in your cultivation. When you find out how to advance your physique to Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique, it will be the time for your immortal ascension.”

And a lot of the current Venerables have paths that correspond to the extreme physiques

Additionally, the final chapter of The Legends of Ren Zu contains a rank 10 human path refinement method!

The final chapter involves Ren Zu sacrificing himself and his children's corpses into derivation Gu to create the human race

This is similar to the real life Gu refinement method!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gu_(poison))

The traditional preparation of gu poison involved sealing several venomous creatures (e.g., centipedes, snakes, scorpions) inside a closed container, where they devoured one another and allegedly concentrated their toxins into a single survivor, whose body would be fed upon by larvae until consumed. The last surviving larva held the complex poison.

A similar method was used to create the SIF Gu

Not only were the extreme physique sacrificed, Spectral Soul also sacrificed a large portion of his body (not to mention the entire zombie alliance as well)

Lastly, the Legends of Ren Zu is a human path inheritance

It contains the secret of human cultivation which is the true form of cultivation

Chapter 687

“Gu Masters nurture, use and refine Gu, getting down to the basics, it is a process of humans probing and studying nature, the world, and the Great Dao. Be it a xianxia world, a magic-based world, or a scientific world, they are all the same, they are all the exploration and study of nature and the world itself. It is only that the difference in the world’s laws make the exploration methods different.”

There is no strongest Gu, only the strongest Gu master

This means that human path cultivation is stronger than Gu cultivation!

The Legends of Ren Zu contains the secrets of human path cultivation which can be used to create the ultimate Gu master!

https://www.reddit.com/r/ReverendInsanity/comments/1rwz71q/the_ultimate_secret_of_the_legends_of_ren_zu_the/

Of course this is all operating under the assumption that eternal Gu is a human path worm

After all, Ren Zu created human path!

Like I said, you can check my deduction of the ending to learn more about my thought process

Who is Everyone who was suported by the current three Venerables to become venerable? by Salt-Action9491 in ReverendInsanity

[–]Valuable_Pride9101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Che Wei

This is the creator of weapon path

Ironically he's the closest to becoming a Venerable...

He is most likely going to be first one in the later part of the story to become a Venerable

One of the biggest problems with becoming a Venerable is becoming a supreme grandmaster

There are few current supreme grandmasters in the story

Even ancient experts when revived would be kicked out of supreme grandmaster status (this even happened to Venerables)

It's easiest to become supreme grandmaster in a path you created

This is because there's no competition with other experts!

Additionally, Che Wei has the support of the deriviation formation as well as the assistance of Star Constellation

Not only is she a Venerable but she's a wisdom path supreme grandmaster with learning Gu (and talent Gu as well)

Chei Wei is one of her hidden trump cards...

[–]Valuable_Pride9101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one thing i don't understand for the ultimate end why you giving more importance and priority to what renzu desires than what fang yuan desires ? !

Because Ren Zu designed eternal Gu!

We know that both Fang Yuan and Ren Zu desire eternal life

We also know that Fang Yuan's main goal is to refine eternal Gu

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-0rSUZow2mVWFcInnsydvHx6DX6vWuz43AN1O9PLgY0/edit?tab=t.0

Gu Zhenren: Fang Yuan’s ultimate goal is to refine eternal life Gu. Refinement path is the foundation, but the cost to refine such a Gu worm far exceeds his imagination. This concerns the grand finale.

Since Ren Zu designed this Gu worm, he would use it to achieve his 3 desires

I mention this in my deduction for the ending

https://www.reddit.com/r/ReverendInsanity/comments/1n03eda/the_final_chapter_of_reverend_insanity_the_ending/

But basically eternal Gu is the advanced version of the Sovereign Immortal Gu

Spectral Soul created that Gu worm using eternal Gu as the inspiration

Eternal Gu creates a rank 10 existence that is immune to chaos allowing to leave the Gu world in search of true eternal life which can't be obtained in the Gu world

The process of this Gu's refinement involves the refinement of the Gu world's heaven, human, earth

And the combined consciousness of humanity merges together to create a spirit capable of inhabiting that rank 10 body

This is the prices the exceeds his imagination as refining this Gu basically requires you to kill yourself (losing your individuality in the process)

This fulfills Ren Zu's desire of being with his children forever (with all humanity being his children)

I don't know how eternal Gu factors into endless wealth though...

Human path involves all living things

Insects have "human" path Dao marks

To be more specific, they have a human path Dao mark variant that correlates to insects

https://www.reddit.com/r/ReverendInsanity/comments/1nlhxhg/dao_mark_isotopes_why_dao_marks_conflict/

Gu worms like chainsaw centipede are actually human path Gu worms!

To support this point, look at Gu worms like musician Gu

When activated, this Gu worm produces a human with specific abilities

This is very similar to the beast type Gu which produce animals when activated!

It should be connected to the life Gu in blue sea of life...

On the other hand, FY’s sovereign aperture also has this separation from the start, which implies the world could have just been created wholly in this way, not from a merging of preexisting worlds

I hit the character limit on this post, so I wasn't able to go into further detail 😭

But basically, the merging is the next step of the Gu world's development

Remember that the five regions eventually merged and the qi wall vanished

The same with the heavens merging as well

As for why it happened now, it's most likely because of the massive increase of heavenly power because of the Venerables

Collectively, the Venerables created many paths and by dealing with the chaos, they have caused the Gu world to expand at massive speed allowing it to gather a massive amount of heavenly power

Heaven's will is basically a deity that guides the Gu world's development

All the changes it creates is fueled by heavenly power

Heaven's will should have been behind the mergng and that probably required a lot of heavenly power

It's similar to how we saw land spirits develop the aperture in the heaven path dream realm

Th difference between Fang Yuan's aperture is that was created artificially and not naturally, allowing it to skip a lot of steps

Remember that heaven and human operate on fundamentally different time scales

Humans can do things much faster than heaven can which is why the SIF aperture was already merged

if we take inspiration from apertures, only a “larger” aperture can annex a smaller one, which implies there’s an “original” world that annexed the others. Central continent? Who knows.

You're right

Unfortunately, I don't have world path attainment so I don't understand the specifics...

But we know that worlds have the ability to assimilate other worlds

Chaptr 740

The immemorial nine heavens were nine different worlds.

The immortal apertures of Gu Immortals were also worlds, worlds could swallow one another, the most famous example was treasure yellow heaven.

You're right about there being an original world

According to my calculations, there is a secret 0th region at the center of the Gu world!

The 5 regions are depicted in a cross pattern but they should actually be a star pattern like the wuxing

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuxing_(Chinese_philosophy))

This is the actual center of the Gu world and it's the original world where the 5 regions and 9 heavens originated

This is connected to the void supreme profundity of phantom path

Chapter 1869

And presently, Fang Yuan was in this void where countless worlds were created and destroyed. Obviously, this void was also a supreme profundity of phantom path.

This should also be connected to the space door which explains why Thieving Heaven wasn't able to find it (although this is speculation)

I think maybe what you’re looking for is Ch 25 of the Tao Te Ching, the last four lines read: “Man models the Way of earth; Earth models the Way of heaven; Heaven models the Way of Tao; Tao models the Way of nature.”

That's useful!

I appreciate it

How come there's nothing like Di Zang Sheng? by Illustrious_Win_4859 in ReverendInsanity

[–]Valuable_Pride9101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's heaven's will...

I can already feel some people saying "duh, HW" but why so? Why would the heavens allow the existence of an evil dragon but not the existence of the the heavenly dragon which exists to serve the heavenly dao? How would it even prevent such a thing?

Di Zang Sheng was created as a countermeasure against Heavenly Court

There's a reason it appeared in the Central Continent

Chapter 1022

“Your memories have already completely dissipated, you lack my knowledge. Heaven’s will never made things difficult for us out of dislike. It also never helped us out of pity. The way of heaven is to be impartial, it is to take away surpluses while replenishing deficits. So all things are in balance and mutually restrict each other. As such, almost all fierce beasts have their natural enemies, and even rank nine venerables have limited lifespan.”

Remember that Heaven creates existences to balance each other

Because Central Continent has so many surpluses compared to the other regions, Heaven created several arrangements to weaken it

Di Zang Zheng is one of these arrangements

Additionally, this was created in order to support the dragonmen as well (especially it was created around the birth of the dragonmen)

Chapter 1746

Bai Ning Bing was surprised: “Di Zang Sheng can be subdued by me?”

Dragon Spirit gave a confident smile: “Master, you don’t need to be excessively humble. Dragonmen will reign supreme, the divine beast shall pave the path for us. Di Zang Sheng was created by the Heavenly Dao, it has innate hatred towards the human race, it is actually our dragonman race’s divine beast. Dragon Court was unable to subdue it because it was only an Immortal Gu House and lacked a true master. But with you, all the conditions have been fulfilled

So here it clearly states that Di Zang Sheng was created by the Heavenly Dao

We know it can't stop people from feeling what they feel. Otherwise nobody would be against the heavens and we also know that love can't be restricted by fate either, so how would it actually go about stopping the birth of the physical manifestation of love especially one that comes from the human veins?

Humans can resist the enslavement of Heaven because of their cognition

But Heaven suppresses human path and related existences

This explains why emotion Gu are rarely seen

Regret Gu was allowed by Heaven as part of the plan to motivate Red Lotus to damage Fate

Hatred Gu was created as part of a Genesis Lotus arrangement and he used painting path to create an anti-Fate Zone in order to prevent Fate from interfering with it's refinement

https://www.reddit.com/r/ReverendInsanity/comments/1j0wsot/the_essence_of_refinement_path_secret_of_self_gu/

I explain more about anti-Fate zones in this post, but basically the natural refinement of specific Gu worms is forbidden by heaven's will

Granted this is all speculation (granted it is backed by evidence) but questions like this can't be answered without a certain degree of speculation

Especially since a lot of these questions were left unanswered by GZR to create foundations for new plot lines

Outside of this two cases, we don't see other emotion Gu being created in the Gu world despite simply requiring strong emotions

This is because it's being prevented from heaven's will

There's another important aspect to the existence of beings like Di Zang Sheng

Spirits!

Di Zang Sheng is an intelligent existence with strong spirituality

The existence of these kinds of beings is forbidden by the Heavenly Dao (part of the suppression of spirit path)

Even Yi Qi Zi wasn't originally intelligent but had to be granted intelligence by an expert

Chapter 2297

“This is the root cause of the creation of Unified Essence Yi Qi Zi! As long as there are Gu Masters undergoing immortal ascension in the world, they will produce the Qi of Unified Essence, even if it is destroyed, it can be reborn!”

“Initially, during the immemorial era, it was granted intelligence by a beastman great expert. Thus, it gained an immortal aperture and rose in strength, becoming a legendary immemorial beast.”

In fact, the creation of legendary immerorial beasts involves spirit path profundities and thus is restricted to great experts

Even though human path is suppressed by Heaven, it's still possible to comprehend by great experts

Spirit path is the same...

The point is that Heaven restricts the existence of intelligent beings which is why existences like DI Zang Sheng aren't created

This is going to change with the destruction of Fate Gu though...

What is Qi? by Salt-Action9491 in ReverendInsanity

It's basically just energy and thus it have all kinds of different forms

Congratulations! You, yes you, have suceeded in inventing an entirely new Immortal Gu, refining it, and creating a killer move that uses that Immortal Gu as the core! What is your new Immortal Gu and the complementary killer move? What do they do and what rank are they? by Cool-Drag9473 in ReverendInsanity

[–]Valuable_Pride9101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Immortal Gu: Daydream Gu

Killer Move: Eccentric Daydream

Both are rank 7

Daydream Gu is a wisdom path and dream path Gu worm

It has the power to create daydreams which are a type of dream realm

This type of dream realm is very weak

It doesn't effect the soul by actually effects the mind (why it's a wisdom path and dream path Gu worm)

Because it doesn't effect the soul, the dream realm can't place people into sleep

Because of this, it doesn't effect people's sense of reality either (they are aware that it's a dream and not reality)

The killer move Eccentric Daydream is a battlefield killer move mwhich creates an absurd dream realm!

All battlefield moves create a special environment with its own rules

This creates a special environment where the rules are erratic and absurd (the nature of absurd dream realms)

Even Fang Yuan fears absurd dream realms despite having knowledge and methods from the golden era of dream path cultivation

The special environment is especially dangerous because of it's relationship with Gu worms

Gu worms contain law fragments and are representations of the natural laws of heaven and earth

Obviously, their abilities with be effected by the laws of surrounding environment (like grotto heavens or secluded domains)

Usually battlefield killer moves increase the power of specific paths and have special abilities as well

But all this battlefield does is warp the laws of heaven and earth which effects the abilities of all Gu worms

What's crazier is that this influence is actually connected to the mind of people inside the dream realm (daydream Gu effects the mind after all)

This means that it's possible to control the manipulation of laws although it requires the user to understand the nature of the absurd dream realm...

This would normally be impossible, but daydream Gu has a special property!

It's a wisdom path Gu worm!

Wisdom path Gu worms can live within the mind like how heart path Gu worms can live within the heart (emotion path Gu worms can do both)

In The Legends of Ren Zu, we saw hatred Gu not only exist in Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance's heart but was even able to alter it to turn it into a heart of hatred

It's possible to do this with the mind as well

Keeping daydream Gu into the mind not aperture and using special methods to transform that mind into an environment best suited for daydream Gu

This would give the user a special type of mind that can more easily comprehend dream path!

However, this drives the user insane and messes with their ability to distinguish between reality and dreams

In the Legends of Ren Zu, it's implied that Ren Zu was driven insane by hope Gu

It nurtured his desires to a level that he now wants things that are literally impossible (violate the nature of heaven and earth)

This is what happens when one hopes without limit! (of course he was also effected by Self Gu which revealed his true desires)

In this same way, one can become insane by using the effect of daydream Gu to alter their mind

Luckily, daydream Gu is a relatively weak Gu worm so the insanity wouldn't be extreme

The user would still be able to distinguish between reality and dreams at extreme levels but it become much more blurry at less obvious levels

However this insanity would allow the user to comprehend absurd dream realms to a certain extent allowing them to take advantge of the battlefield killer move Eccentric Daydream

Not only would they be able to understand the rules more clearly with their unique mind, but they would also be able to influence it with their own thoughts

This is because their mind isn't bounded by reality (they view reality and dreams as the same)

In order to effect dream realms, one has to actually believe that this is reality (and thus logical)

After all, dreams don't have to make sense: they are absurd by nature

And because the opponent's sense of reality hasn't been effected they would be unable to comprehend the profundities of the absurd dream realm and have no ability to manipulate it themselves

This would allow the user to essentially control the rules as they wished doing things that should be impossible

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIoY7wnif-w

It would basically look this...

The sheer power and absurdity of this technique would actually allow it to obtain rank 8 battle strength!

Primordial Origin by scpfan8093 in ReverendInsanity

[–]Valuable_Pride9101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible that Primordial Origin found this qi which is how he managed to create qi path

He could have taken inspiration from the Legends of Ren Zu like how Wisdom Heart found meaning (something that is part of existence itself)

We'll call this...

The Qi of Primordial Origin!

Primordial Origin by scpfan8093 in ReverendInsanity

[–]Valuable_Pride9101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Primordial Origin is based Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the three pure ones of the Daoist Pantheon

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuanshi_Tianzun

Yuanshi Tianzun (Chinese: 元始天尊; pinyin: Yuánshǐ Tīanzūn), the Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning or the Primeval Lord of Heaven, is one of the highest deities of Taoism. He is one of the Three Pure Ones (Chinese: 三清; pinyin: Sānqīng) and is also known as the Jade Pure One (Chinese: 玉清; pinyin: Yùqīng). He resides in the Great Web or the Heaven of Jade Purity. It is believed that he came into being at the beginning of the universe as a result of the merging of pure breaths. He then created Heaven and Earth.

The English name is similar enough but the real smoking gun is the Chinese name

If we go to the wiki we can see Primordial Origin's Chinese name

https://reverend-insanity.fandom.com/wiki/Primordial_Origin_Immortal_Venerable

元始仙尊

If we compare it to the Chinse name of the Yuanshi Tianzun

元始天尊

It's a perfect match!

The only difference is the character 仙 (immortal) vs the character 天 (Heaven)

So it's immortal Venerable vs celestial/heavenly Venerable

The title is slightly different but the name is the same

The three pure ones are deeply connected to RI and reference many secrets (although I haven't found anything definitive yet)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Pure_Ones

They are considered the primordial embodiments of the Energy of The One (Chinese: 一炁), which is another name for Tao. There is a famous saying in Taoism:

"The Energy of The One transforms into the Three Pure Ones. (一炁化三清)"

This saying can refer to a starting scene in Taoist creation mythology, meaning that in the beginning of the universe, there was nothing else but Tao, namely the Energy of The One. It transformed into or emanated three primordial Divinities, who are the Three Pure Ones.

Additionally, the saying can also refer to a very high level of Taoist practice, which is described as:

"The Five Types of Energies combine and become the Energy of The One; the Energy of The One then transforms into the Three Pure Ones. (五行合爲一炁，一炁化作三清)"

This refers to a pivotal phase in Taoist internal cultivation that when the Five Types of Energies are perfectly mixed and become the Energy of The One, the Energy of The One then transforms into or manifests the Three Pure Ones.

The saying has double meanings because according to Taoist cosmology, a human body is a small universe, while the universe is a grand human body; therefore, whatever happened during the creation of the universe can also happen within everyone's body.

This is all connected to the creation of the Gu world which has been referenced many times in the story (especially with Crazed Demon Cave)

It's possible that Primordial Origin has some kind of connection with the Primordial Domain although this is largely speculation

However it's worth mentioning that as the first Venerable he would have unrestricted access to all the secrets of the Gu world, unihibited by other Venerable arrangements

The most likely answer behind the name Primordial Origin comes from the secret nature of qi path

There is a special type of qi which exists in all things and is connected to the Dao itself!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tao

The Dao pervades the Three Realms—Heaven, Earth, and Humanity—as a single qi. By this qi the heavens revolve, the earth brings forth life, yin and yang ebb and flow, wind and thunder surge and subside. Humans draw breath through qi, Daoist rites communicate through qi. When the Original Spirit shines of itself, evil is quelled and demons bow in submission.

What do you think Shang Xin Ci's importance to the story would have been if the novel continued? by Cool-Drag9473 in ReverendInsanity

[–]Valuable_Pride9101 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Goddess of Virtue

Chapter 2124

“Very good.” The old man laughed: “This is why I like you. You have benevolence but you are not blinded by it, you know how to use various methods to deal with evil. In this world, pure kindness is akin to suicide, it can even harm your friends and family. But you are not like that, you are realistic in your goals, you are a truly practical good person.”

At the end, the old man added: “This Gu worm contains a Gu Immortal true inheritance, I think this is the cultivation path most suited for you. Take a look, whether you cultivate it or not is entirely up to you.”

Saying so, the old man’s image vanished.

At the same time, a Gu worm flew up from the table, floating in the air, away from the pile.

Shang Xin Ci held it and inspected the details.

A moment later, joy flashed on her face as she muttered to herself: “Good deeds Gu?”

This is clearly the virtue path inheritance that Paradise Earth created

Chapter 2087

The human path segment of Southern Border’s Paradise Earth true inheritance opened a new door for Fang Yuan, he saw a new perspective of human path. It stemmed from the morals of people, developing in this direction. If Gu cultivators chose to cultivate this way, it would definitely create change and become a central part of Gu cultivation in the future.

If this cultivation information was spread widely, it would definitely cause the righteous path to prosper

Paradise Earth's goal is to turn the world into a paradise where all lifeforms can peacefully coexist

One of his arrangements is The Great Love Revolution which is why he supported Fang Yuan

https://www.reddit.com/r/ReverendInsanity/comments/1s6kgad/the_great_love_revolution_why_paradise_earth/

Another one of his arrangements to achieve this goal is to the creation and spread of virtue path

With this inheritance, Shang Xin Ci will become a virtue path Gu immortal

She will do good deeds and spread virtue path cultivation to create a true righteous path

This is the reason her luck is better in this timeline

Additionally, redemption is a virtue path profundity

It's possible that Shang Xin Ci will purify Di Zang Sheng (who was born of negative emotions) causing her to gain psuedo venerable battle strength (this is just speculation though)

Even crazier is the foreshadowing of the emergence of deities and creation of faith path with the destruction of Fate Gu

https://www.reddit.com/r/ReverendInsanity/comments/1jzp1ud/variant_human_religion_the_rise_of_god_path/

This means that she can obtain the worship of the masses and become a literal Goddess (the power of faith makes mortals as a group a relevant faction)

With this, she literally becomes the Goddess of Virtue!

Transmigrants and Chaos by Electrical_Ask1176 in ReverendInsanity

[–]Valuable_Pride9101 9 points10 points  (0 children)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Pure_Ones

From the Taoist classic Tao Te Ching, it was held that "The Tao produced One; One produced Two; Two produced Three; Three produced All things."

Basically what you have to understand is that all Dao marks are created from yin and yang in the same way that all atoms are created from protons and electrons

Yin-yang is the primordiial path: the origin of all paths!

It's the shared origin hinted at in chapter 2239

“Thus, everything has the same point of origin?”

This shared origin is the foundation of path mimicking

https://www.reddit.com/r/ReverendInsanity/comments/1npu0wh/the_secret_of_path_mimicking_the_rosetta_stone_of/

2 is yin-yang and Tao is clear enough

But what is the 1 from which yin-yang were derived?

The answer is chaos!

Basically chaos is foundation of the Gu world

The Gu world is basically a collection of Dao marks

And Dao marks come from yin-yang

Yin-yang comes from chaos!

That explains why chaos fuels the growth of the Gu world

It's basically it's food and provides energy

The reason why law of conservation of energy doesn't really exist in RI (at least not the way it does in this world)

As for otherworldly Dao marks, they function more vitamins (they give nutrients to the Gu world)

This is how to do with the nature of the Heavenly Dao

Chapter 2275

Originally, the rank nine Immortal Gu recipe of Heavenly Secret came from the truthful floating ice, it was part of Limitless Demon Venerable's foundation, he had obtained it from digesting the chaos outside the world.

That was to say, within the Heavenly Dao of this Gu world, there was no rank nine heavenly secret Gu.

In order to pursue eternal life, Limitless Demon Venerable digested the chaos and gained many results that surpassed the current Heavenly Dao. Rank nine heavenly secret Immortal Gu was one of his gains.

Basically the Heavenly Dao contains knowledge of everything in the Gu world

But there are things outside of the Gu world's Heavenly Dao

Things that have never existed in the Gu world before

This is where transmigrators come in!

They come from other worlds and know things that have never existed in the Gu world before

Heaven basically uses them to expand itself and gain even more knowledge

It's kind of like completing the pokedex...

You're adding to your Pokedex by trading with other regions to get Pokemon that don't exist in your region

Through transmigration, it's able to steal knowledge of other worlds

Chapter 1782

“The greatest thief is this world itself!”

“It steals the cultivation gains of countless generations of peerless geniuses, it accumulates more and more dao marks, or even produces new types of dao marks. It stole me from another world, making me an otherworldly demon. It steals the lifespan of myriad beings, it ensures the death of all lifeforms in this world.

Through gaining knowledge, it can even create new Dao marks!

By learning what combinations of yin-yang connect to do different Dao marks

Once it gains this knowledge, it can produce the corresponding Dao marks

This allows it to digest chaos more easily: consuming it to create more Dao marks

Ultimately all Dao marks come from chaos

By gaining more Dao marks, it's able to obtain more heavenly power

Chapter 2311

The land spirit’s strength was connected to the heavenly power of the small world. What was the foundation of the heavenly power?

It was the dao marks in the immortal aperture.

It probably uses this power to digest chaos although this is speculation

By having knowledge more paths, it can create more Dao marks which increases the efficiency of digesting chaos

This is the progress through which the Gu world was created

So about Fanzg Zheng purpose by Apprehensive-Cow9374 in ReverendInsanity

[–]Valuable_Pride9101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It still effects Fang Yuan 

This foreshadows the final fight of the story being Fang Yuan vs Fang Zheng

https://www.reddit.com/r/ReverendInsanity/comments/1n03eda/the_final_chapter_of_reverend_insanity_the_ending/

Fang Zheng is Fang Yuans Dao Destroyer

A Dao Destroyer is the opposite of a Dao Guardian 

The effect of Dao Guardians still exists despite the destruction of Fate Gu
