Dad asked me to choose one of ten goddesses to marry

Feng Lin nodded slightly, and he couldn't help but smile: "What you said makes sense, senior. These kinds of things are indeed endless, but I will not give up. A person always has to do something while he is alive."

"Don't you find it troublesome? As I said, this has no end."

Aoki looked at Feng Lin curiously.

"Everyone's mindset is different. Some people like to be content with the status quo, while others like to make a fuss. I belong to the latter."

Feng Lin spread his hands and smiled, "Now that I have the opportunity to witness the truth, I will definitely work hard. Just as my senior said, if in the future there really is a creator who claims to have created humanity, I will still investigate how this creator came to be. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless everything is locked up and there is no chance to see the truth, I think I might live a retirement life then."

Feng Lin thought for a moment and then said.

“I think I understand what you mean. You will try your best as long as you have the opportunity to access the truth, but you will choose to stop if you don’t have the opportunity.”

Aoki looked at Feng Lin and said.

“That’s right, that’s what I meant. Now that the Divine Tree says there’s something waiting for it outside, I’d like to go up and take a look.”

Feng Lin explained with a smile.

"I understand. You're quite an interesting person. It would be a shame to kill you."

Aoki suddenly asked, "Go ahead and ask. Didn't you have a question for me?"

"Okay, first of all, what I want to ask is definitely about those who cross the line. I want to know what this realm represents?"

Feng Lin got straight to the point.

"The so-called realm is the process of breaking free from the control of the Heavenly Dao. You can think of the Heavenly Dao as a person, then all of us living beings are just pets that they feed."

“He prescribed everything for us, such as where we should build our nests, when we should eat, what we should eat, what we can do, and what we cannot do.”

“Cultivation is about gradually breaking free from the framework he has created. To give a simple example, we know there is plenty of food outside the cage, but he builds a cage and doesn’t let us out.”

“If some of the strong ones among us step out of the cage, they will have a constant supply of food, and the more they eat, the stronger they will become.”

Aoki looked at the ball of flame before him and explained calmly.

"If what the senior said is true, then Heaven seems to be a good person. It has set rules for us to prevent us from going astray."

Feng Lin said with a smile.

"Are you joking or serious? Why should we follow the rules he set? And you're using pets and people as examples. Do you think you've been someone's property since birth?"

Aoki's expression gradually turned cold.

"Of course not. I belong only to myself. If we take a step back, I belong to my parents."

Feng Lin explained.

"That's right. Take the Earth you live on, for example. Animals and you are all living beings, all creatures on Earth. Why is it that you humans can live anywhere, while you divide animals into areas you have designated? Once some animals step into the city, which is your dwelling, they will die."

Aoki looked at Feng Lin, "You don't need to be hypocritical, just tell me your first answer."

Feng Lin smiled. "Because humans are strong."

"That's right! That's the reason. There's no other reason. Because humans are strong, the rules they set are the rules."

Aoki paused for a moment, then continued, "Now let's return to the relationship between us and the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao is stronger than us, but we so-called animals are also constantly evolving. Those who transcend the boundaries are those who break free from the rules they have established. In some aspects, this realm has already surpassed the Heavenly Dao."

"I see." Feng Lin nodded slightly.

"In fact, it's not just those who cross the line; the sublimation realm is already the limit that Heaven can tolerate, while the breaking through the barrier realm is like a pet jumping out of its cage."

Aoki said calmly, "At this time, the Heavenly Dao has already begun to find a way to kill it. So every time you break through the barrier, it is the Heavenly Dao bombarding your body. People with your talent are naturally not afraid. Do you know how many people have died at the hands of the Heavenly Dao, and how many people have been trapped in this realm forever?"

"I remember that after entering the realm of saints, some people were able to create their own Heavenly Dao, weren't they?"

Feng Lin asked in confusion.

“That’s right. Generally, people like this are very likely to become transgressors, create their own Heavenly Dao, and prove that you can also establish rules. As long as you don’t harm the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao will agree. At this level, you can almost sit at the same table as the Heavenly Dao.”

Aoki thought for a moment and said, "It feels like a company in your area. You become a member of the board of directors and have the right to make proposals and vote, but the person in charge of the company is still Tiandao."

"You know so much, senior. You even know that there are companies in our area."

Feng Lin said with a smile.

“I have always existed. My flowing body can restrict my people, but it cannot restrict me.”

Aoki propped his beautiful face up with his hand. "In recent years, I have frequently appeared in your world and other dimensions."

"I see."

Feng Lin nodded and continued, "What about those who crossed the line?"

“A transgressor is someone who is qualified to stand on equal footing with the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao can no longer do anything to you. Even if the Heavenly Dao does not agree to the conditions you propose, you can still carry them out.”

Aoki rolled his long hair and said, “Take time for example. The laws of nature dictate that birth, aging, sickness, and death occur, with new life replacing the old, allowing the world to continue. Even saints will slowly age over time, but those who transgress will not.”

"Were you this young when you became a transgressor?"

Feng Lin asked.

"Of course not. I was already an old man at that time. As I just said, even if Heaven disagrees, I can still carry it out. The key is time."

As Aoki spoke, he began to grow older.

The once stunningly beautiful face of a woman in her twenties or thirties gradually sagged, and wrinkles began to appear on her face.

Eventually, his hair turned gray.

"Senior, this..."

"This is the transgressor. The so-called time is of no use to me. I can easily send my body back to the past and into my peak state. I can also make my body age or become an infant."

As Aoki spoke, he reverted to his original youthful appearance.

Upon seeing this, Feng Lin was utterly shocked. He had previously thought that those who crossed the line were causing his life force to stagnate.

I never imagined I could return to my former peak condition.

"too strong!"

Feng Lin couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and then asked, "What was that karmic connection you cast on me before, senior?"

"Time is fundamental. Anyone who crosses the line can control their own body. However, a person who crosses the line is not limited to crossing only this one line."

Aoki explained, "And I, I've comprehended cause and effect. Of course, I've also crossed a boundary, which is why I say I have the ability to kill you." (End of Chapter)
