After the myth

Chapter 1147 The Choice of the Fifth Realm's Entropy
Shen Dai went to find Ding Huan with a mission, but he did not leave alone. Instead, En accompanied Shen Dai.

Although Bu Shi doesn't dare to touch Shen Dai now, En really wants to meet Ding Huan.

"Brother Entropy, Realm Lord Ding hasn't given me any information yet. I don't know when I can find Brother Ding. I'm afraid it would be a waste of your time if you followed me."

Shen Dai was speaking from the heart.

Although he accepted the mission, he didn't care at all whether he could find Ding Huan or not.

Now that he and Ding Huan are in cahoots, what can Shen Dai gain by helping these realm lords?
At least Ding Huan still had some humanity; these guys were all just looking out for their own interests.

Entropy smiled and said, "Lord Shen, I don't have anything to do right now, so why don't we take a stroll together? Besides, I'm worried that Bu Shi might have ulterior motives."

Even knowing that Entropy didn't really care about his life, Shen Dai was still extremely grateful.

"Thank you very much, Brother Shang. I, Shen Dai, will never forget your protection." Shen Dai bowed deeply, expressing his sincere gratitude.

Although he was looked down upon by the other realm lords, Entropy never showed any sign of looking down on him on the surface.

Whenever they met, Entropy would nod at him.

It's clear that this Fifth Realm Lord is very good at interpersonal relationships.

Entropy patted Shen Dai on the shoulder: "Brother Shen, I truly consider you a friend, and I hope you won't treat me like an outsider."

Shen Dai quickly stood up and said in the most sincere words, "Brother Shang, I am not an ungrateful person."

Brother Entropy's care and protection for his younger brother is something he will always remember. In his heart, Brother Entropy is like a real older brother to him.

Entropy laughed heartily: "Good, Brother Shen, I like what you said."

This clearly means they consider Shen Dai one of their own.

Shen Dai wasn't an idiot; given Entropy's attitude, he must have something to say.

Sure enough, Entropy then said, "Brother Shen, tell me you really haven't seen that Lan Xiaobu?"

Shen Dai opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Brother Shang, to be honest, I do know Lan Xiaobu, and I've met him before."

"What about this person?" Entropy wasn't surprised at all; he had obviously already guessed that was the case.

Since you've already spoken, there's no need to leave things unsaid.

"Brother Shang, when I first met Ding Huan, there were three other people with him. They were Mo Wuji, Lan Xiaobu, and Ye Xuan."

Initially, I was coerced into cooperating with them by using a Daoist oath. But I had no intention of betraying the realm lords of the First Universe; this is my true feeling.

Entropy reassured him, "Brother Shen, don't worry, I won't say these things to anyone."

After hearing what Shang said, Shen Dai felt relieved: "Later, I didn't intend to offend anyone. I just wanted to survive."

Even with this simple requirement, I was unable to keep it. Huo Shi openly came to my cave and shattered my physical body for the second time.

"If it weren't for the vast Tai Shi, I, Shen Dai, would have been gone long ago..."

"Tell me, what about the other three besides Ding Huan?"

"Strong, very strong..."

After saying three words, Shen Dai seemed to feel that he had not expressed himself completely: "Brother Entropy, the strength I am talking about is not the same as when I saw them."

In fact, when I first met the four of them, their strength was only average, not even as good as mine at my peak.

But I have never seen so many people with such potential, and there are four of them. Not only are they incredibly promising, but they have also all cultivated top-level personal cultivation paths.

It even... transcends the scope of my own Great Dao, because my Dao merely comes from the Nine Great Daos of the Vast Creation.

Before they reach the ninth step, I might be able to suppress them. But once they reach the ninth step, as long as they don't ruin their own path, I won't be a match for them at all.

When Ding Huan killed Dou Ling, his strength was far inferior to Dou Ling's, yet he still succeeded..."

"So, in other words, the other three are no weaker than Ding Huan in any aspect?" Entropy asked the question he most wanted to ask.

Shen Dai said firmly, "Yes, he is definitely no weaker than Ding Huan."

"If they were to reach the ninth step of the Great Dao, how do you think Mo Yuantian's strength would compare to theirs?"

Shen Dai hesitated.

He had no way to answer Entropy's question; Mo Yuantian's strength remained a mystery.

Or it could be said that in Mo Yuantian's eyes, strength was an existence that reached the heavens.

He didn't even have a chance to make a move in front of Mo Yuantian, so how could he judge Mo Yuantian's strength?
He had the most contact with Ding Huan, and every time he did, he felt that Ding Huan's strength had increased dramatically.

Once Ding Huan reaches the ninth step of the Great Dao, whether he can contend with Mo Yuantian is something he really can't say.

"Brother Shen, I understand what you mean."

Entropy patted Shen Dai again: "The reason I'm willing to come with you is that I want to become friends with Ding Huan and join Fellow Daoist Ding Huan's side..."

"what……"

Shen Dai stared at Entropy in shock.

Entropy is the fifth realm master of the first universe, and now he is voluntarily joining Ding Huan's camp?

Doesn't this undermine the power of entropy itself?
It can be said that apart from Mo Yuantian, everyone else in the First Universe has a status similar to Entropy, and no one can do anything to him.

If that's the case, why make this choice?

Entropy noticed Shen Dai's confusion and chuckled, "Brother Shen, don't tell me that you and Ding Huan are not currently in an alliance."

Moreover, your alliance is not constrained by Daoist teachings at all; you are genuinely allied with Fellow Daoist Ding Huan, right?
This isn't something I'm the only one who knows; everyone knows it.

I'm sure that if Ding Huan appeared here right now, and you took him to the Realm Lord Conference, do you know what would happen next?

"What happened?" Shen Dai asked instinctively. Entropy sneered: "All the realm lords will attack him together until Ding Huan is killed. Even I have to take action; if I don't, I will no longer be able to survive here."

"Why? Ding Huan is now the Lord of the Sixth Realm."

"That's just what you think the sixth realm lord is. Do you think those realm lords would allow Ding Huan, an outsider realm lord, to appear?"
Once Ding Huan appears, Mo Yuantian won't even need to lift a finger; someone else will take care of him.

Shen Dai didn't speak; he knew his brain wasn't up to the task.

But Ding Huan's brain is definitely capable enough.

Therefore, he doesn't need to worry about these things; Ding Huan will make the judgment himself.

"The First Universe is about to undergo a major change, and both of us must find a way out first. If Fellow Daoist Ding is unwilling to let me join, I will have to think of another way."

For the first time, Entropy spoke his true feelings.

"Is it because of Dixin?" Shen Dai asked.

"I'm not sure either. Dixin is definitely one reason. There may be other reasons, but I can't figure them out."

Shen Dai knew that entropy could be used to deduce certain things.

"Unfortunately, I don't know where Ding Huan is now."

"Fellow Daoist Ding Huan must be searching for a place to prove the ninth step of the Great Dao. Lan Xiaobu has already entered the vast Yuanmai River, so he will definitely be able to step into the ninth step."

So all we need to do now is wait. As long as Mo Yuantian can't take the ninth step and become the first person to prove his Dao, then Fellow Daoist Ding Huan's side has the best chance of winning.

There's another point that Entropy didn't mention: Ding Huan was able to kill Dou Ling before even reaching the ninth step of the Dao, whether it was by taking advantage of Dou Ling's serious injuries to launch a sneak attack or by other means.

That all shows that Ding Huan is no ordinary person.

Shen Dai looked at Entropy with emotion. He chose to ally with Ding Huan because he had no other choice.

The Entropy Realm Lord weighed all the gains and losses before finally choosing to use him as a springboard to form an alliance with Ding Huan and the others.

"If Mo Yuantian takes the ninth step, then even if we form an alliance with more people, it will probably be useless..."

Shen Dai's fear of Mo Yuantian was ingrained in his very being.

Entropy chuckled: "If he had been able to enter the vast Yuanmai River back then, I believe he might have succeeded."

Now he's lost his chance. That Lan Xiaobu is definitely not a simple master; otherwise, Mo Yuantian would have already entered the vast Yuanmai River.

……

Ding Huan stopped. In front of him was a puddle that had been dry for who knows how long.

Over the centuries, he has cut down countless Void Algae and traveled countless miles along the way.

But he was still trapped in the Void Forest.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth here is scattered, and although the vast origin is not lacking, it is very blurry due to the void algae.

He can't continue wandering around like a headless fly; if he does, he's unlikely to find a place for seclusion.

Even if we fell for that old bastard Yang Mei's trick.

Let's do it right here.

He has tens of thousands of cosmic primordial veins and a cosmic primordial vein mountain.

Even without the external energy of heaven and earth, it should still be able to help him step into the ninth step.

With that in mind, Ding Huan no longer hesitated and began to implant the cosmic vein. At the same time, he pulled out the cosmic vein mountain and implanted it directly above the puddle.

Ding Huan didn't even set up any defensive perimeter.

This place is in seclusion, and even Mo Yuantian cannot find it.

Even for Ding Huan, it would be better if someone came.

Having implanted a bunch of cosmic veins, Ding Huan simply relied on circulating the Great Cosmic Technique by the side of the cosmic vein mountain.

He will prove the ninth step here.

In the beginning, Ding Huan simply focused on refining his own Dao Source Principles.

He knew that the ninth step of the Great Dao was not something that could be easily taken, so he couldn't rush it.

As time passed, Ding Huan became completely immersed in his own Great Dao Zhou Tian (a system of internal energy cultivation).

Because Ding Huan had taken out a lot of cosmic primordial veins, in just a few years, the space where Ding Huan was located was completely enveloped by primordial vein mist.

Ding Huan was unaware of these things; the cultivation of the Great Universe Technique always involved condensing one's own Great Dao Rules.

After coming into contact with the Source Laws, the Great Universe Technique also evolved its own billions of Source Laws.

As more and more of the vast Origin Source condensed from Ding Huan's Great Dao World appeared, Ding Huan felt that his Great Universe Technique was tracing back to the vast Origin Great Dao.

As his thoughts flowed, he seemed to stand beyond the vastness, before the origin of everything.

Because there are no rules of heaven and earth, no laws governing all things, and no fundamental principles of the universe.

Therefore, he himself only has a vague will, which is the ultimate state of the Great Cosmic Technique.

Then, using the Great Cosmic Technique, he derived the first Great Cosmic Law, thus giving rise to the Primordial Chaos...

In the beginning of time, the vast primordial form, like an eggshell, began to break apart and evolve into chaos. From the initial separation of chaos, the universe emerged...

(Goodnight, fellow Daoist!)
