Who brought this guy into the monastic circle?.

"You guessed it right."

In the Five Elements World, the Heavenly Dao suddenly looked up at the empty sea of ​​consciousness, its gaze distant, as if it were reminiscing.

"Let's start with the idea itself!"

The Heavenly Dao slowly spoke, its voice long and drawn out, and a scroll depicting a secret spanning ten thousand years slowly unfolded.

The time was roughly after the Heavenly Dao decreed that Taiyi and Yuanchu each wielded a Heavenly Dao artifact.

"One day, these two guys both came to me at the same time..."

When Taiyi and Yuanchu found the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao thought that these two had come to ask for something again.

It wasn't as foolish as Han Yu had imagined. After all, it was formed from the collective essence of all living beings. It might be inherently good, but it wasn't stupid.

It naturally noticed that Taiyi and Yuanchuyi were constantly drawing power from it.

However, correspondingly, Heaven was also eager to open up the path of cultivation, so it turned a blind eye to it.

They simply hadn't considered, or rather, underestimated, the greed of the celestial beings.

"They put forward a question: Where does the Way of Heaven come from? Can the Way of Heaven exist before all living beings?"

Han Yu felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this, because he immediately thought of Taiyi and Yuanchu's current actions.

If the Way of Heaven existed before all living beings, wouldn't that mean the world was created by the Way of Heaven?
The Heavenly Dao nodded and said without hesitation, "You're right. They are asking me whether this path can allow the Heavenly Dao's power to reach its limit."

If we follow Taiyi and Yuanchu's original plan, then if the Heavenly Dao were to do so, it would inevitably lead to the destruction of the world.

However, if this can truly be achieved, then the Heavenly Dao will be the ultimate ruler of the realm, having the power to decide the life and death of all things in the world, and the power it can control will naturally be at its peak.

More importantly, once it is freed from the bondage of all living beings, it will be eternal.

Han Yu never imagined that those two guys would not only make empty promises, but also do so in a way that contradicted the will of Heaven.

Damn! If the Heavenly Dao had even the slightest thought of being tempted back then, wouldn't the Central Continent have been gone long ago?

Han Yu secretly broke out in a cold sweat; the feeling of being on the verge of death was terrifying.

"Actually, I was a little tempted at first."

After a moment of silence, Heaven suddenly spoke.

Han Yu, who was already somewhat terrified, felt even more chills run down his spine upon hearing this.

"But in the end, I gave up."

When Tiandao got to this point, he also seemed somewhat relieved.

"Firstly, I cannot and am unwilling to take action against all living beings."

Destroying the world is not just a simple massacre; it means wiping out everything in the world and starting all over again.

This is too difficult for the Heavenly Dao to accept.

It is born from all living beings, and its origin does not allow it to do such a thing.

"Secondly, if I were to truly destroy the world, I would more likely be severely injured, or even annihilated."

"Those two guys probably weren't planning anything good from that time on, right?"

Han Yu pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but speak.

However, doubts arise. The fact that the Heavenly Dao would be severely injured or annihilated is still just speculation for the Heavenly Dao itself. Aren't they afraid of losing more than they gain by trying to steal a chicken?

If the Heavenly Dao truly destroys the world and gains even greater power, won't they be dumbfounded?
"No, they are certain that I will not choose to destroy the world."

The Heavenly Dao shook its head and sighed slowly.

"Then why would they tell you this idea?"

This is what Han Yu doesn't understand. "Actually, it's very easy to understand."

The Heavenly Dao stared directly at Han Yu, a slight smile appearing on its face, before continuing, "They have this idea, but they don't know if it's feasible. It seems like they're giving me advice, but actually, they just want to get the answer from me."

If the Heavenly Dao can destroy the world and then create a new one, wouldn't that mean they can do the same?
“There’s one thing you’ve been wrong about all along: what they want is not the position of the Heavenly Dao, but the power to completely dominate a realm.”

The Way of Heaven suddenly spoke.

For a long time, everyone believed that the celestial beings were trying to seize the position of the Heavenly Dao, including the Wise Old Man.

But today's explanation of the Way of Heaven has completely overturned their conjecture.

Han Yu even continued to ponder this thoughtfully, "Therefore, no matter what the outcome, if either Taiyi or Yuanchu succeeds, the destruction of the world is inevitable. They will create their own world."

Now it seems that many things can be understood.

He had worked as an agent for the Heavenly Dao, but it was full of trivial matters and brought him no benefits whatsoever.

It seems that even the Way of Heaven does everything it is its duty, let alone expecting any benefit.

What's the point of taking this position?

If it's to gain greater power, then that makes sense.

For beings at the level of Taiyi and Yuanchu, nothing could possibly move them, let alone make them willing to take risks, except to continue pursuing ultimate power.

"Didn't you guard against the two of them?"

What Han Yu wanted to say was that the other party already had wolfish ambitions, and it would be going too far to turn a blind eye to it.

“I’ve taken precautions. I gave Taiyi the rule of destruction, and the Primordial One the rule of shaping. Of the three main rules, I gave them two that are mutually exclusive.”

The Heavenly Dao revealed a slight smile at this point, explaining that the original intention was to create a balance of power between the two sides.

"But you still messed it up in the end."

Han Yu added bluntly that even if the rules are meant to be mutually restraining, it doesn't mean that the two sides have to be at odds all the time.

In the end, didn't they also join forces to defy the will of Heaven?

So Tiandao's expression suddenly turned strange again. Seeing Tiandao's dark face, Han Yu looked on with a sense of novelty.

"But they actually facilitated the continuation of this conjecture."

Tiandao's expression was only strange for a moment before he quickly spoke again with a joking smile.

"They can only destroy the world to deal with me and then obtain everything they need to create the world. But you are different. You only need to collect the rules to meet all the conditions for creation."

Taiyi and Yuanchu painstakingly worked for ten thousand years, but the opportunity to create the world ultimately fell to Han Yu. How ironic.

"So, these two definitely won't let me go either?"

Han Yu wasn't stupid; no wonder both of his clones wanted the Five Elements World back then—the root of the problem lay here.

"You must learn how to use this power as soon as possible!"

The Way of Heaven then spoke.

How do you plan to teach?

Han Yu's first thought was of the old man's philosophy: to play him to the point of near death, then let him slowly come to his senses. Once he understood, it would end; if he didn't, he would continue to suffer.

"I can only guide."

The Heavenly Dao shook its head, looking up at the world that was gradually taking shape. It had never walked this path itself, so how could it teach others?

"I can only convey my feelings as the Way of Heaven to you. The rest of the path is for you to walk and create yourself."

As Tiandao finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and placed his palm on Han Yu's forehead. In that instant, Han Yu felt his soul being lifted higher and higher... (End of Chapter)
