Mushroom Man

Besides the gains in the realm of soul cultivation...

'Alan' also brought Wu Liang two secrets.

Firstly, allegorical stories of the Holy Church!

The High Priest of the Holy Church, having glimpsed the secrets of heaven, obtained a celestial allegory.

It was because of this fable that 'Alan' realized that the Dragon Palace was very likely the place where the dragon rose in the fable, which is why he was so hesitant and restrained.

Otherwise, with their abilities, they wouldn't need to bother constructing the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade Formation if they wanted to wreak havoc on the Dragon Palace.

Secondly, Ancestor Yuan Tu summoned the Eight Banners again and met with the three leaders of the North Sea's demonic path, intending to unite with the Holy Sect to unify the demonic forces in the North Sea.

Because of this matter, Zhuge Huowang was temporarily unable to personally come and capture Wu Liang.

Of the two secrets, the former undoubtedly moved Wu Liang more.

"When the demons descend upon the world, the dragon people shall rise; the hidden dragon lies in the abyss, ready to soar to the heavens..."

Wu Liang murmured the prophecy of heaven, his expression filled with doubt and uncertainty.

He had overestimated the Dragon Palace as much as possible, but he never expected that the waters of the Dragon Palace would be even deeper than he had imagined!

Huang Ting had designs on the Dragon Palace, and so did the Pure Heaven Buddhist Kingdom.

Now, the High Priest of the Holy Church has come up with some allegory about the rise of the Dragon People.

The water in this Dragon Palace is so deep that it could probably drown hundreds or even thousands of him.

"The High Priest..."

"According to 'Alan's' memories, that Grand Master of Fate should be the leader of the Holy Sect, whose status is equivalent to the Five Wisdom Bodhisattvas of the Pure Heaven Buddhist Kingdom."

"The legendary Mushroom Immortal of the Eighth Rank in the current Heaven is none other than this Great Fate Master."

"This person's parables have never been wrong, which means that I have unknowingly been drawn into a cataclysmic event."

Thinking about this, Wu Liang couldn't help but feel a little scared.

What merit or ability did he possess, that a mere mortal mushroom master could actually travel back and forth through such a vast eon?

Even a celestial being like Zhuge Huowang would avoid such a great calamity at all costs.

Not only did he walk back and forth through it, but he even dared to plot against the Dragon Palace.

Fortunately, he has now successfully and safely escaped from the Dragon Palace.

As long as I give up those inappropriate thoughts in the future, I shouldn't get involved anymore...

No, that's not right!

Wu Liang's eyes narrowed, as if he had thought of something.

"Oh no, it seems I've completely fallen into this trap."

"I took Ao Miaoyin away and caused the death of the Silver Dragon King. In a way, it was because of me that the mirage was destroyed."

"Moreover, I also took the dragon transformation technique that Indra gave to the Silver Dragon King."

"With such a vast causal entanglement, I'm afraid I'm already deeply mired in this calamity, and there's absolutely no way I can extricate myself from it."

Wu Liang realized this, and his expression darkened.

As the saying goes, the will of Heaven is hard to defy; once you enter the Great Tribulation, it's like entering a deep sea, and from then on, you have no control over anything.

He has caused so much damage to the Dragon Palace, how could Heaven let him off the hook?
Once he is targeted by fate, even if he abandons his plot to seize the Dragon Palace, he will inevitably be forced to get involved in it in the future.

In fact, Wu Liang knew very little about the will of Heaven, and his understanding of it was not extensive.

Without the memories of the Blood River Ancestor and the remnant soul of 'Alan', he might not even know that such a thing as destiny existed in the world.

Even with his knowledge at the level of a mushroom immortal, his understanding of the will of heaven was limited to vague concepts such as its omnipresence and the difficulty of defying it.

Of course, this did not prevent him from being wary of divine will.

If he is truly targeted by fate and drawn into a great calamity, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Perhaps every action he took afterward was influenced by fate.

But he's just a lowly mortal mushroom grower, so he probably doesn't deserve the attention of Heaven.
Wu Liang still harbored a glimmer of hope and subconsciously tried to think in a positive direction.

However, he quickly realized something, and his expression turned grim, all hope vanishing. "The Heavenly Demon has descended, the Dragon People shall rise..."

"I almost forgot about this allegory of heavenly secrets."

Wu Liang took a deep breath and couldn't help but clench his fists.

He's not stupid; how could he not understand the meaning behind this fable?

What is a Heavenly Demon?

In the Mushroom Realm, there is only one type of being that can be called a Celestial Demon: the extraterrestrial Celestial Demons who have crossed over from another world!
Wu Liang is an extraterrestrial demon who also has ties to the Dragon Palace.

With so many coincidences piled up, it's hard not to wonder if he might be the demon mentioned in this fable.

If Wu Liang is indeed the celestial demon in this allegory, the implications are self-evident.

This is an allegory obtained by the Great Master of Fate through peering into the secrets of heaven.

The fact that Wu Liang could appear in such an allegory means that he has already received special attention from the will of Heaven.

He dared not even imagine what would happen to an extraterrestrial demon who was targeted by the will of Heaven.

"There's no way to avoid it now..."

"If I am truly the demon descended from heaven in the fable, I will definitely have some connection with the Dragon Palace in the future."

"I just don't know what role I play in the script of destiny."

"Is he a stumbling block to the rise of the Dragon People, or a tool to initiate this great calamity?"

Wu Liang paced back and forth along the banks of the River of Oblivion, his mind filled with countless thoughts, his face ashen.

Whether he was seen as a stumbling block or a tool, he found it hard to accept.

He didn't want to become a victim of the rise of the Dragon People without realizing it.

In the end, Wu Liang's face remained frosty, and he let out a cold snort.

"Forget about fate or anything like that, my life is in my own hands."

"No matter what role fate has in store for me, as long as I do my best in my planning, I may very well be the ultimate winner."

At this moment, Wu Liang became even more determined to transform into a dragon.

According to the prophecy of Heaven, the Dragon People will surely rise to power, thereby replacing the human race and becoming the rulers of Heaven and Earth.

He didn't want to be a stumbling block, nor did he want to be a tool.

In this situation, he only had one choice left...

Transform into a dragon-person, reap the fruits of the dragon-person's prosperity, and become the winner who laughs last.

The human race is powerful; he is the human race.

The Dragon Man should rise to prominence; he is the Dragon Man.

Wu Liang has a flexible bottom line; regardless of which side wins, he only needs to survive to the end.

"Ascension to immortality is imminent."

"With my current strength, it is nothing short of a pipe dream to think that I will have the last laugh in this great calamity."

"One must become an immortal as soon as possible. Only in this way can one be qualified to become a chess player. Otherwise, one will only be a pawn of others and the will of Heaven."

Wu Liang's thoughts raced, his eyes gleaming.

He stood on the banks of the River of Oblivion for a long time, thinking about many things, before finally breaking free from the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

To ascend to become a Yu Dao Mushroom Immortal, the carefree paradise on Beiming Island is indispensable.

Therefore, Wu Liang's most urgent task was to find out where he was as soon as possible.

Only by figuring out these things could he further gather intelligence on Beiming Island.

Wu Liang has just escaped the Dragon Palace and gotten rid of Zhuge Huowang, and now is his golden period of development!
He cannot waste a single moment; it would be best to find a carefree paradise or a tranquil place within one or two years.

And within three years... he ascended to immortality! (End of Chapter)
