I asked you to play a dungeon, why don't you just raise the BOSS here?

Chapter 448 The Mere Heavenly Dao, the Myriad Heavens and Earth, the Secrets of the Reincarnation Space (Grand Finale)

Beyond the nine heavens lies the pivot of all celestial realms.

Although it transcends the concepts of heaven and earth and the primordial chaos of the universe, it still cannot affect the clash between peerless powerhouses.

The void was dark and gloomy, the stars were shattered, the demonic clouds were bleak, and only pure black and white remained all around.

The terrifying pressure gathered and brewed rapidly like a hurricane, as if brewing a cataclysmic calamity, causing a sense of dread to arise from the depths of one's soul.

"I never expected that the old thief Ran Deng would actually flee when he saw things were going badly!"

Huang Rong grumbled, "I still feel a little uneasy that I didn't kill him this time."

"Randeng's purpose in coming here was to use the karma of the fallen gods and Buddhas to break the barrier of the cycle of reincarnation. Now that his goal has been achieved, wouldn't it be crazy not to run away..."

Lin Xuan didn't seem to care much: "It's nothing. Your cheap disciple hates Randeng to the bone. With that monkey's current strength, Randeng will most likely die this time."

"I hope so..." Huang Rong hesitated, "What about your Grand Palace Master and the Dragon Girl? Should we go and find them?"

"With the strength of that Kunpeng, they are not necessarily defeated, but they cannot win quickly either. We should wait for them to come and join us."

"Is Master Lin really that trusting of them?"

"There's nothing we can do if we're worried. This is the real place of life and death, and it's a matter of overall importance."

Lin Xuan waved his hand: "Don't move around here, just wait patiently for a while."

"Hmm? Is this Master Lin's intuition about the Dao?"

"No, it's the final mission given by the Reincarnation Space."

Huang Rong: "..."

"Lin Xuan is right. I also feel that something is not right here. The people we fought before were all incredibly strong."

Aqing sniffed: "Ugh! This smell... Besides Uncle Tongtian, Master Fu is here too!"

"Qing'er, did you smell that? Never mind, that's not the point." Huang Rong didn't bother to complain: "The Tongtian Sect Leader and the Master are fighting?"

"No, they should be on the same side. One of them on the other side is probably that scoundrel Maitreya, and there are two others I haven't seen before."

Aqing pursed her lips: "But those two are also very powerful. Even if I used my full strength with the Green Bamboo Sword, I could only stop one of them at most."

"And then? They were killed by Confucius and the Tongtian Sect Leader?"

"It shouldn't be... I feel like something suddenly happened while they were fighting, and those three people ran away as soon as they started fighting."

"Old Master and Uncle Tongtian chased after them, and the five of them fought and chased each other until they disappeared in no time."

Aqing was quite happy: "They are all very powerful masters, but Master Fu Zi and Uncle Tongtian should be even more powerful."

"Well, it doesn't sound like a bad thing."

Huang Rong pondered and said, "I understand. Most likely, Maitreya and the others, like Randeng, knew that their situation was hopeless and were afraid that we would come and kill them without a burial place, so they ran away in advance."

"Ms. Huang is quite confident..."

Lin Xuan was speechless: "It's hard to say whether they're running for their lives, but it's definitely not because they're afraid of us."

"Tch! You're just trying to argue with me!"

Huang Rong was somewhat dissatisfied and snorted lightly: "There are only the three of us here right now. If they're not afraid of us, who else are they afraid of?"

"Naturally, it's someone else."

Lin Xuan glanced at Huang Rong, then bowed respectfully to the black and white void: "Disciple Lin Xuan greets the Supreme Lord of the Taiqing Sect, the Heavenly Venerable of Morality, Eunuch Bai."

"what?"

"Hehehe, this is the first time someone has addressed the old Taoist priest like that. It's quite interesting."

The incomparably profound Tai Chi symbol illuminated the sky, and an ancient and ethereal voice resounded from beyond the heavens. Dense primordial energy, as if from the very beginning of heaven and earth, descended, transforming into purple mist stretching for thirty thousand miles.

A gentle breeze wafted by, and Lao Tzu's figure, riding an ox, appeared in this world. A magnificent, dark yellow pagoda rose like the moon, illuminating the heavens.

"Eunuch Bai, you've finally arrived! I've missed you so much!"

Aqing was overjoyed and quickly pulled Huang Rong to Laozi's side: "This is Sister Huang, we... never mind, you're so amazing, you must know everything."

"This humble woman, Huang Rong, pays her respects to the Supreme Lord!"

When the Supreme Lord appeared before her, Huang Rong didn't even have time to complain. She ran all the way to Laozi and bowed gracefully.

"It's been a while since we last met. The little girl has finally grown up."

Laozi flicked his sleeve and helped Huang Rong up from a distance: "I've heard that your business is doing quite well. If the little empress can increase her learning and decrease her desires in the Way, and act without acting, yet accomplish everything, it will be a blessing for all living beings!"

“That will disappoint Eunuch Bai. I, the little empress, am usually a hands-off ruler who governs without any involvement. I may be inactive, but it has become ‘inaction’ in the sense of doing nothing.”

Huang Rong smiled and said, "Although I am not very capable, there are many talented people over there, and most of the common people admire Taoism. If Eunuch Bai has time in the future, you are welcome to come and visit."

"Alright, then it's a deal." Lao Tzu smiled, stroked his beard, and nodded.

"what?"

Huang Rong invited me over, but it was just a polite gesture; she never expected me to respond.

Seeing how readily Laozi agreed, Huang Rong was somewhat bewildered, a hint of doubt appearing in her eyes.

Are big shots of this caliber really this easy to talk to?

"I've been scheming and plotting these past few days, and I've done a lot of work. After this battle, I should be able to rest properly for a while. I also plan to ride this ox around and see the local customs and culture, which would be quite wonderful."

Lao Tzu smiled and said, "Besides, Zhenwu is also with you now, so this old Daoist can meet him as well."

"Oh, oh, oh, Master Zhang would surely be very happy to see Eunuch Bai."

Huang Rong hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Eunuch Bai just said that we should rest well after this battle. When will this chaotic war in the heavens end?"

"It should end soon..."

"what?"

As if she had thought of something, Huang Rong's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously shrank her neck.

"Don't worry, you don't need to look at me so nervously. Although I'm here to fight, I'm not going to become some kind of ultimate villain."

"Eunuch Bai, please don't speak recklessly. We've seen quite a few unbelievable things lately, and we're a little panicked."

Ah Qing thought for a moment and said, "I understand. You must be like us, waiting for the big bad guy to come to you, right?"

"Waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump? Hahaha, that's an interesting saying. The stupid rabbit did indeed come."

Lao Tzu slowly waved his banana leaf fan: "Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you are at least a part of the Heavenly Dao, do you really intend to be a coward?"

"Humph!"

An aged voice seemed to come from beyond the Milky Way: "As the Dao Ancestor, you could have remained untouched by right and wrong, living a carefree and immortal life. But you were blinded by greed and dared to defy the will of Heaven, committing a heinous act. You deserve eternal damnation!"

A gust of wind surged, auspicious clouds stretched in thousands of directions, and a thousand streams of lucky energy wafted through the air. In the distance, an elderly man in Taoist robes could be seen approaching, holding a bamboo branch.

Heaven and earth resonated, as if the will of the entire universe had converged, and the surrounding space was like crystal, crushing down upon everyone.

"The same old tricks again? That makes sense, even Heaven has its pride."

Lao Tzu chuckled and waved his sleeve, causing the surrounding collapsed space to crumble and vanish into nothingness.

"Hmph! In this world and even in all the myriad worlds that have arisen from it, I have been your teacher in achieving enlightenment. And now, when you meet your master, is this how you behave—with such disrespect and presumption?"

With each breath, the auspicious clouds and auspicious energy surrounding Hongjun Laozu transformed into rolling demonic clouds, resembling an unparalleled demon god from the chaotic era.

The crimson demonic light, as if possessing its own consciousness, continuously crawled and flowed, reaching from the highest heavens to the deepest hells, corroding and assimilating all things.

"Let alone the fact that I have no connection with you now, even if I were to truly become your disciple, what could you teach me? How could I fall into demonic possession?"

Looking at the demon-stained sky, Laozi shook his head slightly, a hint of disgust in his eyes.

"Be careful, don't rush in."

Lin Xuan felt a slight chill in his heart, and the Human Emperor Sword Qi shot out, annihilating the demonic energy that was waiting for an opportunity to come from all around.

The previous Zhenwu Emperor, Zhen Yuanzi, and others were also peerless giants with a terrifying aura, but the demonic aura they exuded was nothing compared to Hongjun's, like fireflies compared to the sun.

In other words, the Hongjun before us is a large radiation source, already at the level where he can easily cause all the gods, Buddhas, and demons to fall.

Lin Xuan was genuinely worried that Huang Rong and A Qing might accidentally have their divine seas invaded by Hongjun's demonic energy, unnecessarily increasing their own strength, so he quickly took precautions.

As for Lin Xuan himself, possessing the talent of being unperturbed by all laws, with solidified rationality and permanent immunity to mental pollution, he doesn't care about this.

"I'm not trying to discriminate against villains, but making them look like this is really disgusting."

Laozi flicked his sleeve again, and the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda emitted billions of rays of clear light, sweeping away all the demonic energy around it: "Speaking of which, Hongjun, you are now showing such a despicable appearance. You must be desperate and planning to make a last-ditch effort... Hmm?"

Laozi's expression suddenly changed, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes: "No! You...you don't have the aura of the Heavenly Dao! You are just a puppet of the Heavenly Dao!"

"Hahaha! As expected of the Three Pure Ones, even I couldn't hide it from you."

Hongjun laughed loudly: "Unfortunately, the overall situation is now settled, and you are all destined to die without a burial place."

Words became law, the void trembled, and the three thousand laws intertwined like chains, transforming into a chaotic torrent that poured down.

"You alone are probably not enough."

Lao Tzu's face was as calm as water as he lightly touched the Tai Chi symbol with his fingertips.

The Yin and Yang energies rise from the diagram, transforming into a golden bridge that spans the void, thus fixing the collapsing laws.

The green ox glanced back at Laozi, then walked alone across the golden bridge. With each step, it generated Bagua symbols, which evolved into earth, water, fire, and wind, transforming the chaotic torrent into an ever-renewing Taiji symbol.

"Fellow Daoist, please lend me a hand."

Lao Tzu's voice was like a clear bell. He reached out and pushed up the fish-tail crown, and three streams of energy emerged from the top, suddenly revealing three incarnations.

An elderly man with white hair held a staff and parted the clear and turbid, a middle-aged Taoist priest held a jade ruyi and guarded the four corners, and a young Taoist priest held a dragon beard fan and swept away the clear and turbid.

The Three Pure Ones, in their incarnations, chanted Taoist scriptures in unison, each word transforming into the shape of a golden lotus, which crashed down upon Hongjun.

"One Qi transforms into Three Pure Ones? Very well, then let's have a proper contest today."

Hongjun nodded, and a blue jade disc flew out from his sleeve. The disc spun nine times, each turn revealing a profound principle of the Heavenly Dao.

Birth and death, reincarnation, cause and effect, annihilation... all phenomena in the heavens become illusions, and even the incarnations of the Three Pure Ones gradually become transparent.

"The Jade Disc of Creation? Why do people imagine this thing to be so powerful..."

Lao Tzu sighed softly: "Young friend Lin, this old Daoist is also going to risk his life. I'll leave things here to you. Do you understand this chaotic situation?"

"I roughly understand now. Actually, that... that thing would have come looking for me on its own, wouldn't it?"

"Actually, I'm looking for the reincarnation space on you, but it's pretty much the same." Lao Tzu nodded: "The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and Man escapes one. Since you are acting on behalf of the Human Way, no matter how strong your opponent is, you still have a slight chance of winning. Do not give up."

"Junior understands."

Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment, then added, "Eunuch Bai, please be careful as well."

"I am old, but I won't die anytime soon."

Lao Tzu smiled slightly, and myriad streams of primordial energy descended from the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, sprinkling onto the Taiji Golden Bridge: "The two elements, like dust, cleave the primordial chaos!"

As the Tai Chi diagram rotated, the primordial power that filled the void and the laws of heaven collapsed together, turning into a speck of dust that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.

As the dust exploded, illusions of the creation of the primordial world and the annihilation of galaxies emerged, as if countless eons were contained within the moment of birth and death.

The figures of Laozi and Hongjun simultaneously became illusory and distorted until they completely erased the imprint of this world and returned to nothingness.

"That...that attack they just made...it seemed to have created and destroyed countless worlds?"

As the dust settled, looking at the empty and desolate world, Huang Rong felt a little panicked: "If these two start fighting... won't they obliterate the Great Dao itself?"

"Not necessarily. But as the Dao Ancestor, Bai Gonggong, and Hongjun, who holds the power of the Heavenly Dao, are indeed evenly matched, and it will be difficult to determine a winner in a short time."

Lin Xuan remained calm: "So they gave this place to us and went to find another place themselves, so as not to delay their business."

"Huh? Why are we given this place?" Aqing asked suspiciously. "Are there more experts coming later?"

"Eunuch Bai said that Hongjun is a fake, then we must face the true Heavenly Dao."

"Huh? The Heavenly Dao? Fine, I originally thought Hongjun was the Heavenly Dao, but I never imagined... what exactly is this thing?"

"Now that we are facing a great calamity, the will of all the heavens has merged into one. The Heavenly Dao should be like the Human Dao of the Reincarnation Space, an aggregate of the will of all the heavens."

Lin Xuan pondered and said, "Hongjun may have once been a part of the Heavenly Dao, but the current Heavenly Dao refuses to merge with him, thus becoming a puppet of the Heavenly Dao."

“We roughly understand, but it’s still quite abstract how you put it…”

Huang Rong frowned and asked, "Where exactly is the true Heavenly Dao? How do we defeat it?"

"The Way of Heaven may not be 'omnipotent,' but it should not be difficult for it to be 'omnipresent.'"

Lin Xuan clasped his hands in a salute towards the void: "I am Lin Xuan, a reincarnator. I request the Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Realms to appear and meet me."

"Reincarnators? You are about to die and you still dare to talk about reincarnation? How laughable!"

The Milky Way pulsed, and an ancient, profound voice resounded: "Heaven creates all things, vast and boundless. You are but a speck of dust, yet you dare to defy the will of Heaven and attempt to overthrow Heaven with your own power. You are destined for eternal damnation."

Beyond the starry sky, amidst shifting illusions and reality, a colossal figure, beyond imagination, slowly emerged.

He is neither human nor god; he seems to be a fusion of all living beings, yet he also seems to be completely different from all living beings.

He was neither lying down nor standing up; even His very existence was out of place with His surroundings, as if the heavens and the myriad worlds could not contain even a single scale of His.

An irresistible chaotic demonic energy emanated from His body, easily annihilating all order in the surroundings and reducing it to chaos.

"..."

Huang Rong and A Qing exchanged a glance, subconsciously shrinking their necks, their expressions conflicted.

To be fair, they were truly seasoned veterans. Even if the enemy before them was somewhat abstract, it wasn't enough to truly frighten them.

However, whether one dares to fight is one thing, and whether one can actually fight is another.

This thing in front of us is much larger than the entire solar system just by its body...

How can we fight this!

The two women suddenly felt a sense of helplessness, like a mouse pushing a cart, completely unsure of where to begin.

"Since ancient times, the will of Heaven has been difficult to fathom. Now that the Way of Heaven has manifested itself, it is not surprising that there are some unusual aspects."

Lin Xuan casually probed, "I didn't expect it to be Brother Tiandao who personally took action. I was quite rude just now. Brother Tiandao... um, may I ask how to address Brother Tiandao?"

"Humanity is on the verge of extinction, and mere titles are meaningless. But considering the cause and effect of humanity, it is permissible for me to answer."

The majestic will of Heaven resounded from every corner of the universe: "Tao, Brahma, Imperial Heaven, Eternal Heaven, Pangu, Jehovah... these names were all created by your human race, and you may use them as you wish."

"Considering the principles of human karma? Then I understand."

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "The Heavenly Dao is originally formless, nameless, ineffable, and high above. It is quite unexpected that it still cares about the cause and effect of humankind."

"Heaven created all things and bestowed upon you intelligence, yet you dare to presume to fathom the will of Heaven and show no reverence; this is truly a heinous act of rebellion!"

A cold, scathing pronouncement echoed from all around: "From this day forward, there will be no more humans in the world, and this era shall return to chaos!"

"I see. I originally thought that the Heavenly Dao was so lofty and incomprehensible, yet it also had joy and anger. It turns out that when all living beings develop intelligence and create myths, the Heavenly Dao also gains a personality and will."

"If all the human races in the heavens hold the belief that 'human will can conquer nature,' then the power of that Heavenly Dao Brother will gradually dissipate until it returns to its origin."

"Therefore, Brother Heavenly Dao evolved the Chaos Demon Spirit and sought out the losers in the war of faith among the heavens, intending to join forces to destroy the human race and start a new era... Hmm?"

Lin Xuan's thoughts stirred slightly: "Judging from how skilled Brother Tiandao is, this must not be the first time you've done this, right? You've won before?"

"How dare these mere ants presume to challenge Heaven? They are utterly foolish."

The will of Heaven revealed a hint of mockery: "You regard this Reincarnation Space as a supreme magical artifact, but in my eyes, it is nothing more than a toy left behind by some overconfident losers."

[Final Challenge: Slay the Heavenly Dao!]

The ways of Heaven are constant, yet the ways of humanity are inexhaustible; therefore, there will eventually come a day when Heaven will be overthrown! You are not fighting alone; the flame of our race will surely illuminate the other side of the era!

An electronic voice sounded, and a notification about the Reincarnation Space flashed through Lin Xuan's mind before quickly disappearing.

A vast, boundless phantom appeared in the sky: countless ancestors used bone hoes to dig through the hard earth, their blood and sweat dripping into the soil. Rice ears burst forth from the ground, green waves surging to the sky!
This is the will to survive!
Brave warriors used their flesh and blood to stop the flood, mothers held their babies tightly in the thunder and fire, primitive people holding stone tools roared at the giant beasts, and the city walls stood tall amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood...

This is the will to protect!
Women reeling silk, coppersmiths, sages carving inscriptions, soldiers drilling... countless blurred figures dissipate, until they transform into the glimmer of words, the warp and weft of laws, the echoes of ritual music...

This is the brilliance of civilization, the creation, emotion, and will of "human beings"!
"This...is this our ancestor? But..."

Aqing stared blankly at the sky, a trace of sadness in her eyes: "Why do I feel like... they're a little strange?"

"Some oddities are inevitable."

Lin Xuan's voice was calm: "These are the human races of the heavens that were completely destroyed by the Heavenly Dao in the previous era, or even countless eras ago."

"what?"

"No wonder Taishang and Nuwa couldn't see the true origin of the Reincarnation Space. It turns out it doesn't belong to our era at all."

Lin Xuan said softly, "Perhaps it chose us, perhaps it created us, but it doesn't matter anymore."

"Wait a minute!" Huang Rong was slightly taken aback: "So, the rewards of the Samsara Space and the planes we've traveled through are all the wills of all living beings that were destroyed by the Heavenly Dao. No wonder our improvement is so outrageous."

“At this point, it’s not about forcing growth.”

"Of course I won't dwell on that..."

Huang Rong let out a sigh of relief: "But it sounds like our human race has lost many times. Can we win this time?"

"It will win."

Lin Xuan smiled and asked, "Grand Palace Master, Little Dragon Girl, how are things going?"

"Ok?"

"It went very smoothly!"

A clear and melodious sound rang out, and the purple dragon shadow tore through the void, transforming into two graceful young women who appeared beside Lin Xuan.

"Hmm? Xiaoxue? Xiaoyue?"

Ah Qing smiled and asked, "You guys beat that bad bird?"

"That Kunpeng bird is actually quite powerful, but it seems a bit off-track on its mind. It keeps muttering things like, 'It's so stupid, why did it get involved in this kind of thing...'"

"Later, it seems that their demon king was killed by the Master, and the Supreme Elder said something to the bird, and it completely broke down and became crazy."

Ao Xue seemed somewhat smug: "Sister Yue and I seized the opportunity and joined forces to kill that bird. The Supreme Elder was too busy, so he sent us to help you."

"Hmph! I originally thought there were really some innate gods and a cosmic way, but I didn't expect that these things are just born from the intelligence of all living beings. What's so great about them!"

Yaoyue pursed her lips slightly: "Lin Xuan, this place is quite boring. Let's kill the Heavenly Dao as soon as possible so we can go somewhere else."

"Xiaoyue is right, the Heavenly Dao is very powerful, let's not drag this out any longer."

Aqing nodded: "Lin Xuan, you start the fight."

Huang Rong: "..."

"The power of Heaven is beyond your comprehension. Even the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa are like ants in my eyes. That day, that brat Lingbao tried his best but could only achieve complete annihilation. What can the rest of you ants do?"

The Heavenly Dao's voice was cold: "Strip yourselves of the cycle of reincarnation and sever your own human destiny, and I may grant you a sliver of hope. If you disobey, you will be condemned to eternal damnation!"

“Traitors to the Han Chinese are already going too far, let alone 'traitors to humanity'—such an abstract concept as ‘traitors to people’…”

As spiritual energy gathered, Lin Xuan's Daoist robe fluttered in the wind, and the faith of billions of people converged within the Human Emperor Sword, which hummed and pointed towards the heavens: "We humbly request the Heavenly Dao to enlighten us."

"Trespass!"

The heavens trembled, and an immense will, neither human nor god, crushed down, transforming into a golden lightning bolt that tore through the void and struck Lin Xuan's brow.

This is the destiny of the birth and death of stars and the withering of all things; this is the manifestation of the laws of Heaven; this is an irresistible power, as if it wants to completely suppress any challenge to the laws of Heaven.

"It seems like we can't win, but at this point we have no choice but to fight..."

The four women exchanged glances, then gathered their spiritual power without reservation and poured it into each other's magical artifacts.

"Much more powerful than a heavenly tribulation..."

Feeling the vast vitality and willpower constantly gathering around him, Lin Xuan swung the Human Emperor Sword and slashed diagonally at the lightning.

Countless phantoms of the Daoist race appeared, and the sword of humanity rolled upwards, fiercely piercing into the golden lightning!
The Milky Way shattered!

"Disobedience!"

The will of Heaven looked down indifferently, and the lingering thunderbolts transformed into billions of raging ancient demonic dragons.

The cold, merciless will crashed down like a tidal wave, tearing the void to shreds as the demonic dragon relentlessly swept towards Lin Xuan and the others.

Each demonic dragon represents a shackle of heavenly law, as if to imprison all life, devour all hope, and return all things to a state of ignorance.

The laws collapsed, all things returned to silence, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and the Divine Stone turned to dust, the Sparrow Tail Fan exploded into a shower of feathers, the Green Bamboo Sword shattered inch by inch, and the Human Emperor Sword became rotten and dull...

"I tried my best, but unfortunately I still couldn't beat them."

With a touch of heartache, Aqing dropped the green bamboo sword, now only the hilt remained, and reached out to support the swaying Ao Xue, a hint of loneliness appearing on her pretty face.

"The Heavenly Dao wasn't exaggerating after all..."

Yaoyue and Huang Rong exchanged a glance, simultaneously wiping away the blood that had spilled from the corners of their mouths, and gently shook their heads.

"The Way of Heaven is ultimately the Way of Heaven."

Lin Xuan dropped the completely destroyed Emperor's Sword: "The gap is too big. Even if the Supreme Being and Nuwa came, it would probably be of no use. We can only hope for this thing."

A buzzing sound rang out, and an ancient-looking small pagoda appeared in Lin Xuan's hand.

The small pagoda shimmered with eight-colored light, standing firm and unmoving, as if responding to the oppressive power of the heavens.

"It's nothing more than a mere act of humanitarian devotion. How could the hopes of you ants possibly defy the heavens?"

The heavenly sound was like thunder, as if the malice of the entire dimension had gathered together and was crushing down on the five people.

"The Way of Heaven is boundless, and so is the human heart; how can there be talk of inevitable defeat?"

Lin Xuan formed a profound hand seal: "We have not let each other down along the way. I ask you all to join me in another battle."

Rumble!
The Qiankun Tower suddenly expanded, transforming into a colossal pillar that stretched across the starry sky.

The tower's eight sides simultaneously erupted with dazzling light, piercing through the endless void and gathering all the fortune of the eight directions.

***
"It's time for thunder."

Zhang Sanfeng sensed something, slowly got up, and pushed open the tower door.

"We are ready, please give us your instructions, Master Zhang!"

Outside the Thunderclap Tower, Huang Shang and Huang Yaoshi stood side by side, their expressions solemn.

"For the continuation of the human race, death is all that remains!"

Behind the two, Zhang Tianshi, Lin Lingsu, Gongsun Sheng, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and a whole host of Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends lined up in order, exuding a menacing aura.

"Bang the drum!"

Several months ago, Yue Fei, who had made a special trip back to the capital, led tens of thousands of troops, fully armed and ready for battle.

As the drums beat, the people of the city spontaneously came out of their homes and gathered in the streets to pray silently.

"Though I am but an ant, what do I have to fear in defying the heavens!"

Zhang Sanfeng's gaze swept over the crowd, and the Zhenwu Sword was suddenly drawn: "Raging Heavenly Thunder, vanquishing evil and warding off all!"

The mysterious and unparalleled Dao patterns intertwined, countless streams of evil energy soared into the sky, and the fierce and incomparable lightning, like a waterfall, tore through the darkness and sped towards the other side of the Milky Way.

***
"Are you all ready?"

Zhang Juzheng straightened his clothes, pushed open the towering gate of the Genshan Pagoda, and turned around to ask.

"Foolproof!"

Hai Rui and Qi Jiguang exchanged a glance, then looked at Xue Qianxun, who was slowly nodding in the distance, and declared loudly: "We will live and die together, whether in the martial world or the court!"

"Very well! Dynasties may end, heaven and earth may decay, but humanity must never perish!"

The noble spirit of Confucianism and Taoism emanated from the official tablet in Zhang Juzheng's hand, conveying the weight of the nation's fate: "The strength of mountains lies in their foundation! The people's livelihood and the nation's well-being are the foundation of humanity!"

Words become law, and the phantom image of the vast land appears, with the will and power of the people of the whole country, as heavy as mountains, gathering and soaring towards the stars.

***
"Your Majesty, it's our turn!"

Liu Bowen, who had been appointed as the Director of the Bureau of Heavenly Defenders, walked quickly to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was speaking with his eyes closed and his voice deep. He said cautiously, "This battle involves too many causes and effects. Your humble servant is not knowledgeable enough to judge the outcome."

"It's alright! Although I rose from humble beginnings, I have the ambition to sweep away the barbarians and restore China. The journey has been fraught with peril, so how can there be any guarantee of victory?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's tiger-like eyes widened as he looked at the crowd gathered outside the Kanshui Tower and said loudly, "On this journey to conquer Heaven, are you all willing to fight to the death?"

"We are willing to fight, please issue an order, Your Majesty!" Zhang Wuji, Empress Ma, Huang Shan, Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, the leaders of the six major sects, and even the young Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, either bowed or knelt, their expressions resolute.

"If you gentlemen wish to fight, then let us fight!"

Zhu Yuanzhang roared, and the phantom images of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River appeared. He held the imperial seal in his hand to safeguard the fate of the nation: "All heavens and myriad worlds, the fate of the Great Ming Dynasty, heed my command! Defeat Heaven!"

The surging waves, the rolling waters of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, and the resilience and aspirations for rejuvenation of the entire Chinese nation converge, pouring into the Kanshui Tower and soaring straight to the heavens!

***
As the sun sets, the Fire Tower still radiates a fiery aura, dyeing the clouds in a purplish-red glow.

"Miss, the arrangements with the Demon Lord of the Eastern Sea are complete, and my army has been handed over to Lord Dugu for command, ready to strike at any time!"

With Lance's help, the elderly Zhu Houzhao trotted up to Tiannvba and said expectantly, "Don't worry, Miss. Although I may seem unreliable, I am actually quite reliable."

"Senior Brother Yun, a reliable emperor wouldn't say such a thing, would he?"

Nie Feng was speechless and muttered under his breath.

"..."

Bu Jingyun nodded expressionlessly, but his expression was quite relaxed.

Under Dugu Lian'er's arrangement, they were temporarily put in charge of the Imperial Guards and the World Society's army to protect Zhu Houzhao and Tiannv Ba.

Strictly speaking, the former doesn't matter either; if things really come to a head, death is just death.

As for the latter's strength...

Even if his fellow disciples and 100,000 soldiers were killed in battle, the enemy would likely remain unscathed.

So the task was quite easy, and Bu Jingyun was very satisfied.

As for the outcome of this battle, it was far beyond his ability, and Bu Jingyun didn't bother to dwell on it at all.

At worst, they'll be completely destroyed, body and soul.

"Although the Fengyun Plane can be considered a high-end plane, your emperor and your savior are both too unconventional, which makes people uneasy..."

The Heavenly Maiden Ba was also somewhat troubled. She tilted her head and looked at Zhu Houzhao and the other person, then suddenly chuckled: "Forget it, in this vast world, amidst the mortal realm, there must be people like you to make it interesting. If everyone were like the Yellow Emperor and Shennong, what would be the difference between this mortal realm and the Heavenly Court?"

"It's like heaven on earth..."

"Shut up! If you really want to tell dirty jokes, wait until we win the victory banquet and you can say whatever you want."

The Heavenly Maiden Ba walks barefoot on fire. She is neither good nor evil, yet she represents the ultimate burning power: "Heaven and earth are the furnace, creation is the craftsman! The essence of the fire burns away all nothingness!"

A single spark thrown into the mountains and rivers can turn into a raging wildfire.

The Fire Tower trembled as the fiery power emanating from humanity scorched the cold rules of Heaven.

***
"The wind has risen, and our era has come to an end..."

With mixed feelings, Song Que, the Grand Marshal of the Army and General of the State, looked at the tornado gathering outside the Xunfeng Tower and said softly, "But it's also quite good."

"That's great. All our wishes have been fulfilled. No matter the outcome of this battle, we can finally get some rest."

Prime Minister Shi Zhixuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking rather lazy: "What does Senior Evil Emperor think?"

"I'm getting old, I can't keep up with the times, there's nothing I can do..."

Xiang Yutian sighed: "To be honest, the main problem is that I am too... humph, too useless. I was not as good as Master Sun or Brother Yan back then, and now I am far inferior to this little empress. I am of no use at all."

"Seniors, there is no need to belittle yourselves. Although we are but ants, many ants can still defy the heavens."

Shi Zhixuan smiled and said, "This saying, 'Quantitative change leads to qualitative change,' was taught to me by the Holy Emperor himself."

"Hmph! You think you're so great just because the Holy Emperor taught you one sentence? When I see the Holy Emperor again, I'll have him teach me a couple of sentences."

Shi Zhixuan: "..."

"..."

Not far away, Shi Feixuan, Shi Qingxuan, and Wanwan exchanged glances, and the corners of their mouths turned up slightly at the same time.

"Now that everyone is ready, let's begin."

Empress Wu Zetian, crowned and riding a wind dragon, stood atop the imperial city, her imperial majesty overwhelming: "I rule over the vast lands and rivers, unite the hearts of hundreds of millions of people, and hold the reins of humanity's destiny in this world. All of you shall obey my commands!"

"We obey the order!"

The grandeur of the Tang Dynasty and the fortune of all nations paying tribute transformed into a fierce wind, soaring straight up ninety thousand miles!

***
"Master, cheer up, it's our turn."

Beneath the Duize Pagoda, Empress Changping, clad in military attire, stood with her sword drawn, her vermilion battle robe billowing in the wind, exuding both majesty and poignant beauty.

"Ah, although the old monk has some influence in the underworld, it's not easy for him to come to the human world. Since I've promised you, I will naturally do my best."

Yao Guangxiao yawned: "But the old monk has been doing all sorts of evil and heretical things all his life. Suddenly he has to uphold humanity, so it's really a bit awkward. Naturally, he doesn't have much energy."

"Oh, how can you say that..."

Ah Jiu stamped her foot and comforted him, "Think of something positive, like us... that's right! We're rebelling too!"

"Ok?"

"I'm not lying to you! We're rebelling against the laws of Heaven!"

Ah Jiu's beautiful eyes sparkled: "Throughout history, through countless generations, has anyone ever rebelled against anything greater than this?"

"Th-th-this...you're right!"

Yao Guangxiao was stunned for a moment, then his expression became extremely excited: "Even if the old monk is on his deathbed, he can still participate in such a good thing. Even if his soul perishes, it's still a huge gain!"

"Hehe, my men are all ready. Once you're done on your end, let's get started!"

"Everything is ready, what need is there for the east wind!"

Yao Guangxiao shouted, "I am here by order of the Earth Goddess Houtu to command all the Yin soldiers under my command to jointly punish the Demon Heaven and protect humanity!"

"We obey!"

Nine voices rang out from afar, and Bao Zheng, Xue Rengui, and others simultaneously issued their final commands.

"May this remnant soul protect my land and defend my people!"

The howling of ghosts was like a tide, the earth cracked, and billions of ghosts appeared beside the abyss leading to the underworld. Their deep, sorrowful, yet unwavering protective will converged on Ajiu.

"Thank you all!"

Ajiu bowed deeply, and without hesitation, she cleaved her longsword toward the heavens. Her indomitable will to humanity, like a swamp, entangled itself with the heavenly way.

***
"For the sake of all living beings, I and even my Nuwa clan are willing to sacrifice everything."

Outside the Kundi Tower, Zhao Ling'er appeared gracefully, her exquisite beauty radiating both holiness and compassion: "But before the Heavenly Dao, we have no way out. All of us humans must abandon all illusions and fight to the death!"

"With one heart and one mind, Mount Shu is ready to die!"

"Our Demon Alliance is no different!"

"The armies of Fanyang, Shuofang, Lulong, Hedong, and Hexi have been assembled. Please give us your guidance, Miss Holy Spirit."

Dugu Jiansheng, Jiang Wan'er, Guo Ziyi and others stepped forward and said with emotion.

"Hahaha! Lao Guo, you call yourself a scholar-general, how come you're so serious?"

Li Bai laughed and said, "What is there to fear from the mere laws of Heaven? Let's have a good drink after the battle."

"I'm afraid you old drunkard won't live to see that day..."

"Hahaha! Now that you're dead, there's no need to worry about such trivial matters."

Li Bai laughed loudly, "When the time comes, drink a few more jars of 'Yinsheng Wine' for me."

“Okay…” Guo Ziyi hesitated for a moment: “You too!”

"Ling'er, just make your move when you're ready. Don't pay any attention to these literati; they won't interfere with our important business..."

Lin Qing'er was somewhat speechless and whispered a reminder.

"Yes, Mother, let's go together!"

Zhao Ling'er nodded obediently and gripped the Heavenly Serpent Staff tightly.

"it is good!"

Lin Qing'er used her magic to draw the remaining spirit orbs into an array, with the Earth Spirit Orb at the center, transforming the surging power of humanity into the spiritual energy of the earth.

"I will use my blood to protect all living beings! Go!"

As the Heavenly Serpent Staff rose, the vast and boundless human destiny intertwined with Nuwa's divine power, transforming into the endless power of the earth, stabilizing the universe.

***
"Zhenyuan Daxian, Randeng Buddha, Donghuang Taiyi!!!"

"This... um? Who is this? Why is it just a bunch of characters? Oh well, never mind..."

"Master Jiang, the list of names on the Reincarnation Ranking that Sister Ao sent is complete, and it's still growing!"

Princess Longji stared blankly at the terrifying names that had suddenly appeared on the Reincarnation Ranking, her voice trembling slightly.

What level of battle took place across all the heavens and myriad realms?

One by one, gods and Buddhas made it onto the list?
Even slaughtering a pig wouldn't be this efficient...

"Don't tell me about this kind of thing. It would be troublesome if it corrupted my resolve..."

Jiang Ziya composed himself and carefully looked away: "Your Highness King Wu, let's begin."

"Yes, I understand what you mean, Your Majesty. My life is insignificant, and the fate of the nation is but fleeting smoke. I only wish that humanity will endure forever!"

"Rest assured, King Wu, if I survive this time, I will surely protect your Zhou Dynasty for eight hundred years."

Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin once said that those who carry firewood with others should not be left to freeze to death in the wind and snow, and I agree."

"Then I'll trouble you, Father Shang."

King Wu remained silent for a moment, then bowed solemnly to Jiang Ziya and gestured to the soldiers and civilians gathered in Xiqi.

A beam of clear, ethereal light shot up first, and the white-haired phantom of Jiang Ziya looked down upon the earth: "Heaven has no good or evil, only human thought; who can speak of fortune or misfortune!"

The phantom of the Reincarnation Ranking unfolded, and 365 phantoms of righteous gods crossed time and space in succession, merging into the pillar of light of the Qiantian Tower.

In the next instant, eight pillars of light, representing humanity, fortune, faith, protection, and civilization, which pierced through the heavens, converged and poured into the Qiankun Tower.

The immense power of humanity erupted forth, causing the Qiankun Tower to collapse and solidify, transforming into a vast and majestic seal, seemingly containing all the joys and sorrows, rises and falls, honors and disgrace, creation and destruction, insignificance and greatness of humanity throughout the heavens!

"Zhentian!"

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and used all his strength to activate the Qiankun Seal, gathering the beliefs, wills, and weights of the eight planes together and smashing them down heavily on the will of Heaven!

!!!

There was no sound, no explosion, but it was the collision and annihilation of countless fundamental rules!

This is blasphemy!

The immense body of the Heavenly Dao's will trembled violently, and it opened a pupil that resembled a nebula vortex.

A hint of human shock, anger, and disgust appeared in his indifferent eyes.

Even the lofty will of Heaven, facing the will of billions of living beings and the unstoppable torrent of humanity, felt a slight stagnation.

[The reincarnator has been cursed to death by the will of Heaven. The substitute puppet has been activated. Within ten seconds, the puppet will absorb all attacks; after ten seconds, the puppet will be permanently destroyed.]

Don't give up; perseverance and hope go hand in hand!

The puppet doll appeared in mid-air, made a face at Lin Xuan, and then turned into dust and vanished into nothingness.

The chilling pressure of the Heavenly Dao transformed into world-destroying demonic lightning, but it was blocked by an invisible force and hovered in mid-air.

"To try to defy Heaven with human effort is like an ant trying to shake a tree..."

Lin Xuan was silent for a moment, then sneered: "So what!"

The remaining immortal power poured into the Qiankun Seal without reservation, and the seal emitted a thunderous sound like the creation of the world, shattering into pieces beside the Eye of Heaven.

The overwhelming power of humanity enveloped the will of Heaven, causing His body to suddenly stiffen.

But that's all!

"You have exhausted your spiritual power and racked your brains, yet you have only managed to trap me for a few breaths. The heavens will still return to chaos, and humanity is destined to perish."

A hint of mockery appeared in the vast and boundless will of Heaven: "How foolish it is for an ant to presume to challenge Heaven!"

"They've attacked like this, yet they still can't break through the defense..."

Huang Rong gritted her teeth and swallowed the blood in her mouth: "Was Heaven a tortoise in its past life?"

Having accepted the outcome of her bet, Huang Rong had nothing to say about it.

But even though I accepted it, I still felt a little resentful.

"You overestimate the turtle's strength. Turtles aren't that hard..."

Ah Qing sighed helplessly, "I was thinking before that the former Xuan Nu was so easily destroyed, but it turns out we're not much better off. We really misunderstood her..."

“Actually, this is fine too.” Yaoyue hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, “It would be a bit awkward to really discuss sisterhood with you all. It’s more comfortable to be confused like this.”

"Um, Xiaoqing, Ayue, Xiaoxue, shall we... um?"

Huang Rong's delicate body trembled violently, and an expression of disbelief appeared in her eyes: "You..."

As the dragon roared, the countless treasure wheels hovering beside Ao Xue collapsed simultaneously, and the rules of heaven and earth were also shattered.

In the next instant, a colossal dragon phantom, seemingly billions of times older than the entire primordial world, soared out from the girl's soul and coiled above the heavens.

The dragon lowered its head, its eyes seemingly crushing the indifference of billions of years, coldly gazing down at the rapidly recovering will of Heaven.

Endless calamity clouds formed in an instant, and the dragon's body solidified at a speed that surpassed time.

An unimaginable pressure of humanity erupted from the dragon's body, and its golden-purple dragon claws fell, gripping heavily the Dharma body of the Heavenly Dao Will, which was composed of countless rules.

A chaotic and violent aura surged, turning the entire dimensional universe into pure black and white.

"!!!"

Beyond countless planes, several ancient gods watching the battle let out frantic screams as their indestructible divine bodies and souls collapsed and dissipated.

"It's you! No! It's all of you!"

A look of panic appeared in the eyes of the Heavenly Will, and its enormous body began to struggle rapidly.

The dragon's body gushed out golden-purple blood, and its massive form continued to collapse and shrink.

But with each inch the dragon's body collapsed, the Heavenly Dao Dharma Body dimmed, and the terrifying pressure that enveloped the heavens subsided.

Under the self-destructive attack of the dragon, time has completely lost its meaning; it may be just a snap of the fingers, or it may be billions of years...

In the end, the will of Heaven roared in despair, and its enormous Dharma body shattered into countless points of light, scattering across the heavens.

The demonic spirits that had spread throughout the heavens and myriad realms simultaneously let out a silent wail before vanishing into thin air.

The demonic clouds that had blanketed the heavens dissipated, the void returned to calm, and the broken and fragmented laws began to slowly repair and reconstruct themselves...

"Water benefits all things without striving; the highest good is like water."

Deep within the battlefield of the heavens, Laozi, riding his green ox, swayed and staggered in: "Now that things have come to this, do you fellow Daoists still wish to make a mistake?"

"That's all..."

Amitabha Buddha and Bodhi Buddha exchanged a glance and then closed their eyes simultaneously: "When Buddhism flourishes in the next era, we will return."

The signs of the five signs of decay in gods and humans continued to manifest, and the Buddha's indestructible body began to show wrinkles, irreversibly heading towards withering and death.

"Thank you for coming to my aid, Your Excellency." Nuwa breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and said, "But why..."

"The Heavenly Dao is the master of all heavens and myriad realms, and I am far from being its match."

Lao Tzu waved his banana leaf fan and said, "You should go and ask them when you have time."

"..."

***
"You...you...Xiaoxue, no! Sister Xue!"

Huang Rong and A Qing were somewhat incoherent: "I didn't know you were so amazing."

"..." Yaoyue looked at Ao Xue with some confusion, her feelings complicated.

They are also the pride of heaven in every sense of the word, and even when they see the so-called earth-shattering, moon-destroying and star-falling scenes, their hearts are no longer stirred.

But the scale of that scene... was still too outrageous.

The three women felt that they couldn't even imagine it in their dreams.

Even now, the three women still feel an indescribable sense of absurdity.

"I...I'm not...I'm not...I'm not that amazing!"

Ao Xue hurriedly shook her head, her clear voice tinged with a sob: "I don't know what that is! It really has nothing to do with me!"

"Don't be modest," Aqing quickly said. "My husband said it doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat. You've worked hard to cultivate your divine skills and killed the evil Heavenly Dao, so it's a good thing no matter what."

Ao Xue: "..."

"Xiaoxue probably really didn't know..."

Lin Xuan approached the four women and bowed respectfully towards the distant starry sky: "Junior Lin Xuan, I thank you all for your help just now. If you would like to come out and chat, please do."

"what?"

"...That's fine."

A moment later, amidst the puzzled gazes of Huang Rong and the others, a response rang out, and more than ten male and female figures of various appearances appeared on the other side of the starry sky.

“We did not intend to disturb you, but since Brother Lin has invited us, it is no problem to meet you.”

The man in the center of the crowd wore an imperial robe, exuding domineering authority and majesty.

As he spoke, the man's face kept changing, sometimes old, sometimes young, sometimes a monk, sometimes a Taoist, sometimes bold, sometimes aloof, each face seemingly having experienced an incredibly exciting life.

"May I ask how you should address me, senior?" Lin Xuan asked, clasping his hands in greeting.

"The human era I lived in has long been swallowed up by this wicked heaven, and my name is meaningless."

The man's voice was languid: "We are all reincarnators, why should we need to have known each other before?"

"The senior is quite open-minded."

Lin Xuan's mind stirred slightly: "I would be grateful if you could enlighten me, senior."

"It's only right that I tell you this. According to our conclusions, it seems that no reincarnators appeared in the earliest fallen eras."

"It is possible that the sentient beings of that time chose to sacrifice themselves, thus creating the prototype of the cycle of reincarnation."

"Then in each era, the cycle of reincarnation will select some lucky ones or unlucky ones to go against this damned fate."

"Of course, the methods were somewhat different. Back then, I focused on a human dimension and searched for trial participants worldwide. Although I ultimately won, I consumed too much human power, and ultimately failed when facing the Heavenly Dao."

A refined young man dressed as a scholar smiled and said, "So this time we changed our strategy and decided to focus our efforts on cultivating a reincarnator, and the results have been very good."

"It's not exactly good..."

Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "Even if I use all my resources, I can only control the Heavenly Dao for a few seconds. If it weren't for the intervention of several seniors, the human way in this era would have undoubtedly failed."

“You’ve done very well. We performed much worse before. There were even times when humanity was being destroyed, and the will of Heaven didn’t show itself at all.”

A girl wearing a doctor's white coat and exuding a cyberpunk aura laughed and said, "Don't think too much about it. You passed the first five trials, and everyone felt that you had enough investment value. That's why they reversed the cause and effect to reshape the identity of this dragon girl and sealed our humanitarian power within the dragon girl's soul."

"Huh?" Ao Xue was taken aback for a moment, then said weakly, "So the dragon soul inside me isn't a real dragon?"

"You're wrong. The dragon is the totem of the Chinese nation. The true dragons in all the worlds are also creations based on human imagination. The real dragon is inside you!"

Ao Xue: "..."

“Your generation of immortals and Buddhas also have some power. For example, the Tathagata Buddha. We actually have to pay a price for forcibly altering his memories.”

"But interestingly, it seems that the Buddha also understood our thoughts and cooperated with us to a large extent."

A burly man carrying a longbow and exuding a barbarian aura laughed, "So don't worry, little girl. You are just an ordinary member of the world created by the Reincarnation Space. Your greatest cause and effect is simply being chosen by the first Demon Lord to inherit his legacy. You don't need to bear those inexplicable things."

"Thank you..." Ao Xue, somewhat withdrawn, gave a graceful bow to everyone and fell into philosophical contemplation.

"Now that you all say that, the tangram puzzle is now put together."

Lin Xuan pondered and said, "According to what you all say, the will of Heaven originates from the imagination of all races in the heavens. So it will probably rise from the ashes in the future, right? If it conflicts with the human way, it will still want to return the heavens to chaos, right?"

"Originally, no one knew this thing existed. It's really difficult to deal with something that can be used by someone who is not prepared."

"But this thing has won so many times, and this time it was still killed by us in a humane way, so it can't be said to be that powerful. If this thing still wants to destroy the world in the future, we can just kill it again."

The man in the imperial robe laughed and said, "You don't need to worry too much. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If our human race really doesn't even have the courage to change the world, then it's just death."

"Seniors are quite magnanimous." Lin Xuan nodded and said seriously, "Seniors have made great contributions to our humanity. I wonder what your plans are for the future?"

"We are all remnants of the old era, and we should return to the dust of history."

"Ok?"

"We finally won this time. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and we finally fulfilled our long-cherished wish."

A bright-eyed, white-toothed girl waved to Lin Xuan: "This era is good, but it's not our home after all. Farewell."

The bodies of all the reincarnators simultaneously turned into golden dust, overflowing with golden light and shimmering across the sky.

[This dungeon has been cleared with the highest rating. The dungeon trial has ended. Reincarnators, please write your own epic tale!]

【Thanks! 】

The electronic sounds of the Reincarnation Space rang out, then fell silent.

As if sensing something, everyone looked up at the other side of the sky.

Above the heavens, there is no longer any Heavenly Dao looking down.

****
"Weren't we also created by the cycle of reincarnation? They were even transformed from humanistic beliefs, but humanity has lost too many times, and it has become an obsession."

Huang Rong exhaled a long breath, reached out and caught a handful of gold dust, revealing a curious expression.

"..." Yaoyue and the others simultaneously froze, silently pricking up their ears.

"Whether it is or not, it doesn't matter. Why think so much and make yourself suffer?"

Lin Xuan smiled slightly: "You finally won, don't let your little brain get too fuzzy."

"Okay, you're right..."

"Brother Lin is right. Let's go back and have a good meal first. Why think so much?"

Aqing tugged at Ao Xue's sleeve: "Xiao Xue, can you still transform into a dragon now?"

"It can't be changed..."

Ao Xue puffed out her cheeks: "They've already made it clear that I'm just an ordinary girl, not some dragon girl."

"That would be even better, we're all the same."

"We are human, you are the Black Bird..."

Aqing: "..."

"What should we do after we get back?"

Yaoyue pondered for a moment, her cheeks slightly flushed: "The will of Heaven has disappeared, and the cycle of reincarnation has ended, but we should still have some goals, right?"

"Humanity is vast, and the universe is boundless."

"In the endless dimensions, there must also exist extraterrestrial civilizations that are completely different from our human way, and even far beyond the concept of the Heavenly Way."

Lin Xuan pondered, "If gods can be born from human beliefs, then extraterrestrial civilizations must also have their own beliefs and gods. Perhaps one day our human race will also encounter them."

"Is this the alien you mentioned last time? No, wait! A civilization from a different dimension?"

"Although I don't quite understand, I have a feeling that such a being does exist, and it might even be no weaker than the Heavenly Dao..."

Yaoyue frowned and said, "So you mean we should be prepared for danger even in times of peace? Until we are strong enough to deal with such a powerful enemy?"

"Not entirely. I think the human race in the heavens has suffered great losses right now. To resist powerful enemies, we need a stronger human destiny. The most urgent task is to pass on the torch and reproduce."

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "We both have a humanistic heritage, so it's not too much to set an example and have more children, is it?"

"……All right."
