The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 583 Taking Heaven's Mandate and Taking Control of the Universe

Seeing that he had angered Fengya, Lang Jiuchuan had no choice but to appease him. He had to act humble and submissive to win him over. There was no other way; this was his creditor!

She stopped joking and simply repeated what she and the Gong family father and son had analyzed: "We can be fairly certain that the current Tantai Qing is the same old monster from a thousand years ago who failed to ascend to the next realm and continued his divine soul by constantly possessing the bodies of his descendants."

"No wonder that rotten, putrid stench could travel a mile; it's an ancient monster." Feng Ya sneered, then, seeing Lang Jiuchuan looking at him with a half-smile, he said, "I'm different from him. I'm a proper ghost cultivator and have never done anything so foul. He forcibly possessed the body, needing to devour the original body's soul before he could enter. Time and time again, the souls became mixed, filthy and rotten; that stench originated from the divine soul."

Lang Jiuchuan realized this and couldn't help but recall the past. When she was young, she had clear and pure eyes, but her cultivation was not yet up to par, so she naturally couldn't see through the essence of the National Preceptor's soul. It wasn't until she was twelve years old that she vaguely smelled the decay emanating from him, but she never took it to heart, let alone thought about the possession aspect. After all, he was old and had the smell of time, so it was not surprising.

Now that Fengya had said it, her stomach churned, and she felt nauseous!

Fengya lightly tapped his thigh and said, "If he is someone who has lived for a thousand years, then what he is plotting is either to form a core again and break through to become an immortal, or to replace the Heavenly Dao and become the ruler of your world, establishing his own laws."

Lang Jiuchuan was startled: "Become the ruler?"

"The so-called 'forming a golden core to become an immortal' is actually just about having a longer lifespan. However, in the cultivation era, even a Golden Core cultivator can only truly reach a lifespan of over five hundred years. He can achieve immortality through insidious methods like constantly seizing bodies. Such longevity and increased vitality may not be what he needs most. What he truly needs is longevity and freedom from constraints." Fengya said calmly, "If one becomes a ruler of a region, a ruler is a god, possessing the power of a god. How the laws are determined is up to him, not some Heavenly Dao."

"Impossible!" Lang Jiuchuan retorted, "No matter how long he lives, he'll only have a lifespan of a thousand years. In terms of lifespan, he can't even match yours. You wouldn't even dare to dream of such a realm. What makes him think he can dare to dream of it? Just wishful thinking? To put it bluntly, the mortal realm is just a mundane place with limited spiritual energy. For cultivators, reaching the Foundation Establishment stage or even the Core Formation stage and ascending to immortality is already considered achieving the Great Dao and entering the path without regrets. Even if he dares to dream, he needs the practical conditions to support him..."

"What if the world collapses?" Fengya interrupted her coldly.

Lang Jiuchuan paused, thinking of the corpse plague, and suddenly had a flash of insight.

When the human path of a small world collapses, the world will also collapse. The heavenly path will die, but it will also be reborn. Wouldn't that be his opportunity?
As for how to cause the collapse of the human realm?

If there are no conditions, then create them!
Such as how he used her to suppress the imperial tomb, nourish the dragon vein and national fortune, and even his own bones; such as how he seized the accumulated fortune of aristocratic families and the life force of living beings, creating a hell on earth, causing suffering to living beings and the dissipation of spiritual energy.

Aren't all these signs potential conditions for collapse?

If his plan succeeds, he can become the ruler of the world, completely replace the existing laws of the Great Dan Dynasty and even the human realm, and become the true sovereign whose words are law!
Isn't this better than becoming a Golden Elixir Immortal?

Even immortals are bound by laws. Just like Fengya, his strength was limited and his ability to act recklessly was restricted by the rules of the Heavenly Dao. In that case, how can it be better to set your own rules?

All the things that were previously unthinkable came together to reveal a truth that left Lang Jiuchuan speechless.

“Wuji, Wuji Heaven…” Lang Jiuchuan laughed in exasperation: “So that’s how it is. Using the name Heaven as both a title and an honorific, he really has played a grand game!”

Despite her anger, she also admired Tantai Wuji's ambition; he was too daring to dream!
"To treat all things as straw dogs and all living beings as chess pieces, to become the master of one's own laws—that's madness!" Fengya said calmly. "Whether he can succeed or not, the fact that he dares to even think about it already surpasses countless cultivators." How could he possibly become the master of a world with the spiritual energy of this world? Yet he dares to think that way, and he dares to risk everything for it, planning for a thousand years. His ambition has long transcended the greed, anger, and ignorance of mortals; it is both extremely rational and extremely insane.

Lang Jiuchuan looked at Feng Ya and asked, "Do you think he will succeed?"

"perhaps."

Lang Jiuchuan's pupils contracted sharply, his expression turning grave: "Even if the spiritual energy in the world is so shallow, it's still possible?"

Fengya said, “Heaven and earth are mysterious and chaotic. Not to mention the ten realms, just the three thousand great worlds, which contain countless small worlds. The human world is one of them. If no one in this world can defeat him, whatever he wants to do, the Heavenly Dao will not stop him, but will send a savior. This is the principle of the forty-nine evolutions of the Heavenly Dao mentioned in the Fifty Great Dao. The savior is that sliver of hope. But if the savior perishes, what will become of this small world is not something the Heavenly Dao can change, because fate is such. When that time comes, the Heavenly Dao will die, the human world will collapse, and then new laws will be generated to rebuild a world.”

He picked up a small tower, knocked it down and smashed it, then used magic to rebuild it, and the tower was no longer the same as before.

Lang Jiuchuan picked up the small tower, his face twitching as he said, "You're not going to say that I'm the only hope for this little world, are you?"

How could she possibly be savior!
She doesn't want to either.

“Every savior is born with immense destiny. He has deep ulterior motives towards you. If you don’t possess what he needs, why bother with all this trouble?” Fengya looked at Lang Jiuchuan and said, “So don’t blame me for not being able to help you. The chance of survival in that mortal realm lies with you. If I go, the power of the laws will only obliterate me completely. Perhaps you think the Heavenly Dao is blind, but the rules are inherently cruel and do not favor any side. Good and bad, black and white, righteousness and evil, the odds of winning in a duel are fifty to fifty. If one side wins, the other side will inevitably lose. There is no draw. That is fairness.”

Lang Jiuchuan stared at him intently, his eyes shining brightly as if countless stars had fallen from the sky.

"how?"

"It's nothing, you understand!"

Fengya almost lost his composure, his face darkening: "Let's get down to business, be serious. You're the savior, if you can't kill him, then we'll all die with you."

"You can't be. You're from this Void Realm." Seeing his dark face, Lang Jiuchuan quickly said, "To call me a savior is giving me too much credit. He's an ancient monster who's been around for a thousand years. He dares to think what others don't, and he's been plotting for a thousand years. How can I possibly be his match?"

“An ant trying to shake a tree may not be impossible. Otherwise, how could you have been resurrected? Is it really just because I defied the heavens? No! It's all because you were born with the fortune that he coveted most.” Fengya’s voice was deep as he said, “Fortune is both a deadly poison and a valuable asset. You should be prepared.”

Lang Jiuchuan Yilin.

　Yes, what I write does not represent my values!
