Dad asked me to choose one of ten goddesses to marry

"This is also the path taken by the vast majority of saints."

Zhuang Qingyan looked at Yao Se and said, "You are this kind of person, and so am I. Our Jiuyou clan became saints by following the old path of our ancestors. You should know this better than I do."

"What about changing the way of Heaven or creating the way of Heaven?"

Yao Se asked curiously.

"To change the way of heaven is something that only a very few gifted saints can achieve. Saints who reach this level are generally on par with experts who have attained divine status."

Zhuang Qingyan explained, "Using the same example as before, perceiving the Way of Heaven is like discovering a narrow bridge, while changing the Way of Heaven is like finding a tree by the river and pushing it down to make it span the river, forming a bridge."

"I see. It sounds more powerful than perceiving the Way of Heaven. One is what was originally there, and the other is changing what already exists."

Yao Se nodded inwardly, then asked, "You mean that the Heavenly Dao that Feng Lin possesses might be the one that can change the Heavenly Dao?"

“That’s right, but even Feng Lin himself doesn’t know what the Heavenly Dao he’s in control of is, so there’s only a chance that he can change the Heavenly Dao.”

Zhuang Qingyan said.

"There's a chance, you mean Feng Lin might only be perceiving the Heavenly Dao?"

Yao Se asked, puzzled.

"No! He is definitely not just someone who perceives the Heavenly Dao. I mean, he may be someone who creates the Heavenly Dao."

Zhuang Qingyan looked at Yao Se and said, "You should know that creating the Heavenly Dao is already the strongest power in the world, without exception, because its scope and ability are too vast."

"What do you mean?"

Yao Se frowned.

"To use the example I just gave, changing the way of heaven is simply the rational use of tools."

Zhuang Qingyan paused for a moment, "For example, if there happens to be a tree by the river, you can turn it into a log bridge. But if you create the Way of Heaven, it's different. Whether you create a log bridge or a road, it's still creation."

"How many sages in the history of the divine land created the Way of Heaven?"

Yao Se looked at Zhuang Qingyan and asked.

"No."

Zhuang Qingyan smiled and said, "You heard me right, no! The strongest saint in the Divine Realm is the saint who changed the Heavenly Dao."

"And those who can change the way of Heaven are already few and far between, let alone those who create the way of Heaven."

Zhuang Qingyan continued, "For example, the very first saint was the patriarch of our Nine Nether Clan. She comprehended the ability to change the Heavenly Dao, giving the race the ability to reincarnate."

"What? You mean, the power of our reincarnation comes from our ancestor?"

Yao Se asked in disbelief.

"That's right. What do you think it means to change the way of heaven? It means to change what you originally thought was the norm into something else."

Zhuang Qingyan said calmly, "Self-reincarnation has always existed; our ancestor simply transferred it to our race."

"It already existed? I don't think so. I remember that in the entire Divine Realm, apart from our race, no other race can reincarnate?"

Yao Se suddenly asked curiously.

"The Way of Heaven is not limited to humans. Our ancestors transformed the Way of Heaven that bound our race into the Way of Heaven of the Divine Tree."

Zhuang Qingyan took a puff of her pipe and said.

"What? The Divine Tree?" Yao Se frowned, and upon closer inspection, it was indeed true, if one had to find common ground between their race and the Divine Tree.

The divine tree can also reincarnate. It bears fruit, which devours the previous tree, and the new divine tree possesses the memories of the previous divine tree.

Isn't that similar to the Nine Nether Clan?
"Then there is the ancestor of the Origin Clan. He is also a saint who changed the Heavenly Dao. He changed the Great Heavenly Dao."

Zhuang Qingyan looked at Yao Se and said, "He changed the cultivation level. The original highest level was the seventh level of the Great Completion stage, but they directly changed it to the ninth level."

"The Primal Race!"

Yao Se's expression darkened upon hearing the name of this race. No one from the Nine Nether Clan could forget this race.

Because it was the Origin Clan that led the other saints of the Divine Land to overthrow the rule of their Nine Nether Clan.

This interrupted the Nine Nether Clan's path to godhood, and from then on, the Nine Nether Clan never became a new god again.

"Now you should understand, right? You can name every single one of the saints who changed the way of heaven."

Zhuang Qingyan looked at Yao Se, "Do you understand what I said before? I can tell you clearly that all the saints in the Otherworld combined cannot defeat Feng Lin. Only those true immortals in the Divine Realm can possibly beat him."

Yao Se lowered her head and remained silent. Then she asked, "How do you know so much?"

“I haven’t told anyone about this, but since you’re an old friend of mine, I’ll tell you.”

Zhuang Qingyan took a puff of her pipe. "These things were all told to me by the Divine Tree. I also promised the Divine Tree back then that I would help her fulfill her dream."

Yao Se took a deep breath and then said, "Forget it! It's better for Feng Lin to get a godhood than for other races to get one. I remember he also has a wife from the Nine Nether Clan. When the time comes, our Nine Nether Clan can also benefit from it and gain some divine power."

"Feng Lin will not obtain a godhood, at least not now."

Zhuang Qingyan looked at Yao Se and said, "He plans to let the divine tree grow in the divine land."

"What? Is Feng Lin out of his mind? Right now, he has no competitors, and instead of thinking about becoming a god, he insists on going to the land of gods. Do you think he can afford to offend the saints there?"

Yao Se said coldly.

"At least for now, that's his idea. I can tell you that if Feng Lin succeeds, he will get something ten or a hundred times better than a godhood."

"I've told you all this just to let you know that only by following Feng Lin can our Nine Nether Clan completely escape the pursuit of other races."

Zhuang Qingyan patted Yao Se on the shoulder, "If I were you, I would definitely stand on Feng Lin's side, just like I did."

"You mean you want me to go with you to fight in the land of the gods?" Yao Se asked.

“That’s right. In each race, the most talented people are often left in the Divine Realm. So, the sages in the Divine Realm are the strongest. Once they get there, Feng Lin alone might not be able to defeat them. We need to help.”

Zhuang Qingyan looked at Yao Se and said, "I'll give you a chance to think about it."

Yao Se nodded slightly. Her purpose in doing this was to restore the status of her race.

If following Feng Lin could truly achieve this, she might choose to agree.

"If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself in the white world now."

As Zhuang Qingyan spoke, she slowly landed, saying, "I won't stop you anymore."

Yao Se looked at Zhuang Qingyan falling from the sky, hesitated for a moment, and then flew towards the white world.

The scene before her left her completely stunned.

Two corpses lay on the ground, while the few saints who appeared around them were all pale and powerless. (End of Chapter)
