Druid Fairy

Chapter 229 Order
For the first time, the reflection of the "Tower of All Beings" was seen in Mo Yuan's dark, abyss-like eyes.

This is not merely a magical artifact, but rather the prototype of a world, an aggregate of wills.

The tower's base is thick and heavy, closely connected to the mountains and rivers stretching for thousands of miles below. The phantom of the azure dragon of the earth veins is coiled on it, and every breath seems to stir the heartbeat of the entire dynasty.

Within the tower, a vast celestial lake can be vaguely seen, with Xuanwu (Black Tortoise) guarding its center and Qinglong (Azure Dragon) swimming along its shore. Thousands of water vapors rise and nourish the ever-growing spiritual vines on the tower walls.

The crimson-gold flame atop the tower was not burning with spiritual energy, but rather with a powerful force of "hope" and "protection" that had gathered from academies, military camps, cities, and countryside.

This is no longer an object; it is a declaration.

"In the name of all living beings..."

Mo Yuan's voice was deep, and a slight ripple finally appeared on his eternally unchanging face. "A reckless declaration. Do you know that the desires of all beings are the most complex, and their thoughts the most fickle? With such an unstable foundation, your Dao is nothing but a castle in the air, a tower on the sand, seemingly magnificent, but in reality, it will collapse at the slightest touch!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised that finger again, which seemed to represent the judgment of heaven.

"Heavenly Decree: All Laws Return to Nothingness!"

There was no light, no sound.

Only one pure line, like an invisible ink stain, instantly painted the entire sky.

Under this law, everything constructed from spiritual energy, willpower, and the law itself will be stripped of its meaning and returned to the most primordial chaos.

This is an supreme decree powerful enough to cause any mountain-protecting formation or any blessed land to collapse!
Black chains of law emerged from the void, like a giant net that blotted out the sky, descending upon the towering "Tower of All Beings"!

Li Pingcan's expression remained unchanged, but a thought flickered in his mind.

"Buzz!"

At the base of the Pagoda of All Beings, the azure dragon of the earth veins that coiled upon it suddenly opened its crimson-gold dragon eyes.

"My way is rooted in the earth!"

The base of the tower trembled violently, and a vast, heavy force of law, capable of bearing all things, surged into the sky, condensing above the tower into a phantom image of a desolate, earth-yellow land.

The black chains of law fell upon it, and like spring snow meeting the scorching sun, they quickly melted away and crumbled inch by inch!

"Hmm?" Mo Yuan frowned slightly.

"Heavenly Decree: Deprivation of Life!"

He gave the order again.

In the void, the nature of the chains of law suddenly changed. Instead of returning to nothingness, they transformed into countless twisted gray runes exuding an aura of death, swarming towards the Tower of All Beings like locusts.

These runes are specifically designed to target the very essence of life. Wherever they pass, even space itself seems to lose its "vitality," becoming lifeless and stagnant.

Inside the Tower of All Beings, in the heart of the vast Heavenly Lake, the Xuanwu, which had been sleeping with its eyes closed, slowly opened its ancient eyes.

Above the tower, the vast expanse of blue water represents the boundless vitality of the Hundred Herbs Hall and the Heavenly Lake bursting forth.

A stream of azure divine light swept out, and Li Mengyue's compassionate Taiyin Holy Body phantom appeared and disappeared on the tower.

The overwhelming gray runes, upon contact with this pure and pristine radiance of life and the power of Yin, vanished as quickly as filth was washed away by clear water, emitting a hissing sound.

Both edicts were overturned!
A genuine look of surprise finally flashed in Mo Yuan's lifeless eyes.

"To defy the heavenly laws is an even greater crime!"

He no longer held back, and his entire body slowly rose into the air, merging with the dark sky that was rendered by his laws.

"Punishment Hall Domain - Avici Prison!"

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color. Centered on Mo Yuan, an enormous domain world composed of black and white suddenly unfolded, engulfing the entire divine capital and the Tower of All Beings!
In this realm, there is no heaven and earth, no sun and moon, only crisscrossing, cold and merciless chains of laws, and prisons made of black ice, representing "imprisonment" and "judgment".

Here, all emotions are sins, and all desires are wrong.

Only cold rules, eternal silence.

"Within this Heavenly Prison, I am the Heavenly Law!" Mo Yuan's voice echoed from every corner of the domain, carrying an unyielding majesty.

The countless chains of law, like giant pythons that have come to life, coiled around from all directions, trying to completely lock up and suppress the "Tower of All Beings"!

Looking at this domain that represented the supreme authority of the Immortal Alliance, Li Pingcan finally revealed a smile.

"Are you finally going to show your true abilities?"

He also took a step forward, his figure merging into the body of the "Tower of All Beings".

"Then I'll show you my world."

"The Realm of All Beings: A Portrait of Humanity!"

"boom!!!"

Centered on the Tower of All Beings, a vast realm, brimming with vitality and the vibrant atmosphere of the mortal world, also unfolds!

This realm is no longer merely a phantom of laws, but a projection of the real Great Yu Dynasty!

Within the Natural Academy, the sound of students reciting their lessons converges into the principle of "enlightenment";

Within the Shanhewei military camp, that will to protect had coalesced into an indomitable fortress.

Before the Hall of Herbs, the gratitude of the people gathered into the sweet rain of "compassion"!

Two completely different worlds collided violently in the sky above the capital!
Mo Yuan's "Infernal Prison" attempts to drag that vibrant human world into eternal silence and imprisonment. Wherever the chains of law pass, the clear voices of students fall silent, the protective barriers are corroded, and the sweet rain of compassion is frozen.

Li Pingcan's "Human World Scroll" possesses unparalleled "resilience".

"We study to understand the principles of things and distinguish right from wrong. How can you, the heartless law of heaven, sever my roots of wisdom!"

Inside the Natural Academy, the boy named Zhang Fan was the first to stand up and let out a childish yet determined roar towards the dark sky.

With his roar, thousands of students stood up in unison. Their thirst for knowledge converged into a vast torrent, transforming into an invisible sword of wisdom that forcefully cleaved open a crack in the encroaching, deathly laws!
Although the crack was small, it was like a spark!

"We wield our swords to protect our homeland and safeguard peace! How dare you, this wicked immortal alliance, destroy our mortal realm!"

At the border pass, Yuchi Gong, the former Marshal of the Great Qian Dynasty, suddenly stood up, drew the sword of one of the Mountain and River Guards beside him, and pointed it at the sky!
Behind him, tens of thousands of Mountain and River Guard soldiers roared in unison. Their indomitable will to protect them formed an impregnable mountain and river barrier, firmly resisting the corrosive chains of law!
"We do good deeds to show compassion to all living beings and relieve their suffering! How can you, with your cold and indifferent heavenly laws, extinguish my mercy!"

Inside the Hundred Herbs Palace, Li Mengyue was dressed in white, her figure radiating an unprecedentedly brilliant moonlight from the illusory image of the osmanthus tree behind her.

Countless lives she saved are now praying for her from the bottom of their hearts.

That compassionate rain transformed into a vast river of purification, which in turn began to cleanse the deathly silence of the "Avici Hell"!

For the first time, Mo Yuan's figure, which was one with the domain, trembled violently. He couldn't understand it!
In his mind, these mortals and low-level cultivators were nothing but ants, and their will should have been utterly vulnerable in the face of the absolute "Heavenly Laws"!
But why is it that the combined will of these ants can shake his domain, which represents the highest law of the Immortal Alliance?

"Don't you understand yet?"

Li Pingcan's voice resounded in the core of the "Human World Scroll" domain.

"Heavenly laws, if they cannot protect all living beings, are merely shackles hanging in the air. And protection, if it cannot be rooted in all living beings, is just meaningless empty talk."

“My children, what they are protecting is every life on this land. And these lives are also protecting my children with their will.”

"An order that can self-circulate and thrive endlessly!"

As the sound rang out, the "Human World Scroll" shone brightly and began to erode Mo Yuan's "Infernal Prison"!
The bustling streets stretched into that desolate, black-and-white world.

Fields full of hope appeared on those cold prison ruins.

Mo Yuan's domain is being assimilated by the "human world"!

"Absurd! Utterly absurd!"

Mo Yuan roared in fury, "Order must be absolute! Emotions, desires, and hopes are the root of chaos! They must be completely eradicated!"

He no longer tried to suppress it with his domain, but instead condensed all the power of the "Infernal Prison" and gathered it into his own body!
"Heavenly Decree: Final Judgment!"

His entire being transformed into a jet-black, enormous sword, seemingly capable of cleaving through the eternal blue sky!
The blade is imprinted with countless ancient runes representing "rules".

This sword strike embodies his life's work and represents his most fundamental understanding of the world!
He wanted to shatter this "filthy" human world with a single sword strike!

Facing this earth-shattering sword strike, Li Pingcan showed no fear whatsoever.

He also gathered all the power of the entire "Human World Scroll" at the top of the "Tower of All Beings"!

At this moment, the flame of the Dao, fueled by the power of the people's will, blazed fiercely and transformed into a golden sun even more dazzling than the sun itself!

Lee Pyeongchan's voice was gentle yet filled with unwavering strength.

"Go, let those lofty heavenly laws see the temperature of the human world."

"A single strike to all living beings, a spark igniting the flame of humanity!"

The golden sun did not transform into a similarly sharp sword, but rather into a warm, vibrant golden torrent that met the pitch-black executioner's sword!

The moment the jet-black sword representing "absolute order" came into contact with the golden torrent representing "human life's flame".

Mo Yuan felt as if his soul had been pulled into a world that was both incredibly real and incredibly unfamiliar.

In the teahouse, the man was talking animatedly, envisioning his son's future as a merchant, a genuine smile on his face.

On Black Wind Ridge, the subdued demon tiger, after Li Mengjin left, actually began to restrain the demons in the mountain, clumsily learning to establish its own "order".

In front of the Hundred Herbs Hall, the old woman holding her grandson, who had been lost and found again, had tears in her eyes that were turbid yet incredibly sincere.

On the shores of the East China Sea, a young student named Lin Yuan is leading a group of sea spirits who have just awakened their intelligence in building a dike to protect against the wind and waves...

These scenes, these emotions, this complex, chaotic, imperfect yet incredibly real "human world," are like an irresistible torrent, frantically washing over his Dao heart, which has been frozen by the "Heavenly Laws" for ten thousand years.

"No, order... should be cold..."

Mo Yuan's soul trembled.

"Emotions... are a sin..."

The countless runes of law on his execution sword began to flicker violently, their brightness fluctuating.

"boom!"

A muffled thud came not from the outside, but from the depths of Mo Yuan's Dao heart.

The execution sword that embodied his lifelong beliefs began to crumble inch by inch from the inside!
His unbreakable "reason" was completely shattered by this "unreasonable" world!

"puff!"

In the real world, Mo Yuan's figure fell from mid-air. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, which was not from an injury, but from the backlash of the original law power after his Dao heart was shattered.

For the first time, a look of confusion appeared in his jet-black eyes.

The strange phenomenon in the sky vanished without a trace.

The Tower of All Beings slowly disappeared, and Li Pingcan's figure reappeared in front of the three children.

He looked at the "Heavenly Messenger" whose aura was weak, whose Dao heart was shattered, and who seemed to have lost all power in an instant, and did not choose to kill him.

For someone like Mo Yuan, killing his beliefs is a far more thorough end than killing his physical body.

Li Pingcan's voice resounded calmly between heaven and earth.

"My path is not the path of gods, but the path of humanity. It is the path chosen by all living beings on this land."

"If you want to judge, then judge this entire world, these billions of living beings."

Mo Yuan slowly stood up from the ground. He looked deeply at Li Pingcan, then at the vibrant and lively capital city below. His eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Without saying a word, he turned around, took a step, and his figure merged into the void and disappeared.

He arrived with the judgment of the Immortal Alliance, but left in a sorry state with a shattered Dao heart and a problem that could shake the very foundation of the Immortal Alliance.

Within the capital city, the people rejoiced.

They might not understand what had just happened, but they knew that the being who had always silently protected them had once again shielded them from a catastrophe.

Li Pingcan looked up towards Zhongzhou, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

After this battle, the dark clouds that had shrouded the capital city completely dissipated, and the sky was bluer than ever before.

That faith and desire to protect, originating from hundreds of millions of people, did not dissipate with the retreat of the powerful enemy. Instead, like rivers flowing into the sea, it flowed even more solidly into Tingtao Xiaozhu and into the Druid Dojo.

Li Pingcan's figure slowly descended and stood in front of the three children.

"father!"

Li Mengyue was the first to step forward, her eyes filled with worry and lingering fear.
