I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 683 The Road to the Future
"go!"

Gongshu Ting steered the bridge of imaginary numbers straight towards the black and white yin and yang that symbolized the smallest point.

"Don't think about it!"

Tengri's voice was majestic and repetitive, filled with anger and utter indifference.

The Heavenly Tribulation Axe in his hand continued to fall.

Although Zhou Yulong managed to avert the calamity that symbolized the fall of the Netherworld, the sign of annihilation that symbolized the fall of the Heavenly Emperor was like a layer of the sky falling from above, pressing down on everyone and making it impossible for them to stand up straight.

The Heavenly Emperor symbolizes the origin of the Great Dao. When He falls, all paths collapse, resulting in absolute chaos and disorder.

Pure destruction is like the deepest darkness, close to the five annihilations in military theory, where even the concept of destruction itself will crumble.

On the Bridge of Imaginary Numbers, the first-rank beings truly understood the power of a sage. Their proud supernatural abilities and techniques were utterly useless in the face of this cataclysmic event.

If their supernatural powers and magic worked, it would mean they could resolve the situation of the Heavenly Emperor's demise, which is clearly impossible.

Only a saint can fight against another saint!
There is always a glimmer of hope.

The same majestic voice, seemingly capable of enveloping the entire world, rang out, only this voice was gentle and leisurely. Even the world-destroying axe light seemed to slow down in the face of this voice.

In that pure darkness, a light suddenly appeared. If you look closely, this light stands in the future, and a celestial being sits on the long river of the fate of all living beings. His radiance shines on all things, from the future to this moment.

The realm of a sage is already close to transcending the limitations of time, and the person who has studied this path most profoundly is Zhou Tieyi, a man whose legacy spans eternity.

The moment He seized Xing Sha's body, He also occupied the vast majority of the future, which is why Tengri was so desperate. At this moment, Zhou Tieyi used the future he occupied to begin influencing the present, thus being able to restrain the destructive power of the Heavenly Tribulation Axe in time.

"Even if the Heavenly Emperor falls, the Great Dao will still endure. How can we abandon the fundamental for the trivial?"

Zhou Tieyi's ethereal voice resonated within the hearts of Gongshu Ting, Xu Wugui, and Ju Zidan.

Ju Zidan suddenly realized, "The day the Heavenly Emperor truly fell was the beginning of the flourishing of humanity. How can we stop moving forward just because of the signs of the Heavenly Emperor's fall? If we die like this, we will have no face to meet our predecessors again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, crimson flames blazed from his body. These flames inherited the humanistic fire passed down from the Crimson Emperor. Under the guidance of Zhou Tieyi, the Celestial Venerable, they were able to return to their original source and restore everything from the 'higher' to the 'lower'.

The fall of the Heavenly Emperor is the collapse of all paths, but the path itself does not disappear. If the collapsed path can be reconstructed, then even the fall of the Heavenly Emperor only represents the destruction of the past, but also the rebirth of the future.

Crimson flames and falling lightning intertwined, and the terrifying, deep darkness almost made Ju Zidan unable to straighten up. At this moment, Ju Zidan no longer cared about himself. As long as he survived this tribulation, even if he perished, it would be a great achievement for humanity. If he failed to survive this tribulation, this broken body would have no value to be preserved.

His body dispersed into gusts of wind, winds that came from the breath of heaven and earth, gathering the life force of all living beings, making the crimson flames even more intense, burning the thunder that symbolized destruction with a deafening roar, like charcoal burning in a furnace.

The moment Ju Zidan ignited his lightning, Gongshu Ting also reacted. He looked at Xu Wugui beside him and said, "Back then, the three of us jointly created the Steam Realm Three Days, which contained the phantom of the Holy Path. Now it seems that it will come true today!"

After saying that, he collapsed inward, transforming into a giant single eye. The gaze of this single eye shone on the bolts of lightning, revealing the rules of destruction and chaos in every detail.

The power of the Gongshu family's first-grade 'Great Evolution' technique is already close to being able to deduce the Great Dao. Since destruction itself can be clearly seen and understood, it can naturally also be reshaped!

Xu Wugui reached out and merged the Crimson Flame and the Eye of Imagination. Using the power of the Mo Family's first-grade 'Universal Love', he fused the two different Great Daos to construct the Sacred Path leading to the future.

Rumble!
Under the blazing flames, the collapsed pieces of heavenly lightning were reshaped into matter, which fell in front of everyone and transformed into a row of undulating steel castles.

This cannot be described simply as a steel castle. The nuclear reactor continuously supplies energy, and the imaginary number constructs the center to reshape the rules and order of the entire world. As the World Tree, the veins of the Peach Tree connect energy and matter, constructing a perfect cycle. All energy can be utilized, and all rules can be understood. The enormous castle is as vast as a planet. Even without this planet as a carrier, humanity can still sail towards an endless future.

This is the future sacred path built after the fusion of the three steam paths. Even if the planet is destroyed and the galaxy collapses, humanity will still have a path to the future.

Thus, the scene of the Heavenly Emperor's fall, which represented the terror of the planet's rules being extinguished, could no longer destroy everything. At this moment, humanity's lineage was connected to the light from the future.

Within that light, Zhou Tieyi, the Celestial Venerable, stretched out his palm and blocked the Heavenly Tribulation Axe.

The power of a peerless divine weapon lies in the great momentum it symbolizes. The Heavenly Tribulation Axe symbolizes the calamities that destroyed this planet in the past, but when these calamities are resolved and a path to the future is found, then it is no longer unstoppable.

Zhou Tieyi took a step forward, arriving in the present from the future, and also from the White Tiger Palace to the Liangyi Hall. His hand holding the Heavenly Tribulation Axe remained motionless. The axe blade that could shatter the world and annihilate Buddhas did not leave a single axe mark on his fingers.

He looked leisurely at Zhou Qian and said, "Go find your own opportunities."

With a flick of his other sleeve, he tossed Zhou Qian and Yuan Tong into the Yin-Yang Palace, which symbolized a tiny point.

Then he turned to Tengri and said, “Now it’s our turn to talk.”

"No!"

Tengri's eyes were filled with madness; pain overwhelmed his previous indifference and anger.

But this emotion only lasted for a short while before being replaced by a condescending gaze.

He allowed the Heavenly Emperor to revive within him in exchange for the power of a single strike. The Heavenly Emperor also gave Tengri a chance to make a move. If he could truly kill Zhou Qian and the others, the Heavenly Emperor would certainly be willing to continue investing in Tengri.

Unfortunately, Tengri failed. The Heavenly Emperor couldn't afford to lose his own capital for Tengri. He was like a shrewd loan shark who knew when to cut his losses.

"what do you want?"

The Heavenly Emperor looked at Zhou Tieyi. With the help of Tengri, He had completed the initial resurrection, and the power of Phoenix Ancestor and Thunder God had begun to permeate outwards. He was not without the power to fight.

Of course, the outcome of this battle might not be good. He looked at the huge, planet-like fortress formed by the three steam channels next to him.

This in itself is a harbinger: if He and Zhou Tieyi cannot reach a compromise at this time, then humanity will not be destroyed in the future, but it will also lose its home on this planet.
