All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

On the void battlefield, the smoke of battle had not yet dissipated, and the roars of the collective resentment still echoed faintly. The auras of powerful beings from all sides intertwined, making it so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

As soon as Xiaoyaozi finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on the laptop and mobile phone in Feiyu's hands under the sky, their eyes filled with doubt and disbelief.

No one expected that this leader of the Daoist world would place his hopes on two writing tools used by mortals.

Just as everyone was discussing and full of doubts, Xiaoyaozi's gaze slowly turned, passing over the crowd and landing on Li Sinan and Pei Shaoyu.

He moved slightly, his white Taoist robe fluttering in the wind, his Taoist aura growing stronger. His tone was respectful but not humble as he slowly spoke, "I dare not accept the title of senior."

One sentence left everyone present stunned once again.

Who is Xiaoyaozi? He is the leader of the Dao Realm, with unfathomable cultivation. He has lived for countless years and is one of the most powerful beings in all realms. Even the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm and the Queen of the Demon Realm must show him some respect.

But at this moment, he actually said to Li Sinan and Pei Shaoyu, "I dare not accept the title of senior," which was quite shocking.

Li Sinan raised an eyebrow slightly, the golden and black aura around him paused for a moment, and looked calmly at Xiaoyaozi, his tone indifferent: "You don't need to be like this. The leader of the Dao Realm and we each follow our own path, there is no need to address each other as seniors."

Xiaoyaozi gently shook his head, a faint smile appearing on his face. His tone carried a hint of vicissitude as he slowly said, "You deserve it."

"I traveled back in time from the Wheel of Time and returned to the Dao Realm. After experiencing countless hardships, I was chosen by the cultivators of the Dao Realm to be the Realm Lord, and I ruled the Dao Realm for countless years."

"Even as time flows and years change, the memories of my past life remain as clear as yesterday, never fading away."

His gaze was fixed on Li Sinan and Pei Shaoyu, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes—guilt, gratitude, and a hint of relief: "The karma from our past lives still exists and has never been severed."

"My appearance here this time is not only to assist the myriad realms and Mr. Feiyu in controlling the aggregate of resentment and protecting the peace of the myriad realms, but more importantly, to repay the karma of my past life and put an end to the obsession in my heart."

Cause and effect from past lives?

Everyone was stunned again, their faces full of doubt. They all looked at Li Sinan and Pei Shaoyu, their hearts filled with curiosity—what kind of connection did Li Sinan and Pei Shaoyu have with Xiaoyaozi in their past lives?

A hint of bewilderment flashed in Li Sinan's eyes. Some vague fragments of memory seemed to quietly emerge in his mind, only to vanish in an instant, leaving no trace.

He remained silent for a moment, then his gaze returned to calm as he nodded slightly to Xiaoyaozi: "I no longer remember the karma of my past life, but if there is any debt, you do not need to repay it deliberately. In the face of all the heavens and myriad realms, protecting peace is the most important thing."

Pei Shaoyu frowned as well. He also had no memory of his past life's interactions with Xiaoyaozi. He shook his head slightly and said, "Senior, I know nothing about the past life. There's no point in talking about repaying karma. Right now, the most important thing is to work together to control the resentment."

Even across the river of time, Pei Shaoyu rarely had any contact with Xiaoyaozi.

Xiaoyaozi looked at the two of them, a knowing smile on his face, and nodded gently: "I understand. The memories of your past lives are too distant, it's normal that you don't remember them."

"But cause and effect are cyclical, and retribution is inevitable. What I owe you, I will eventually have to repay. But right now, as you said, protecting all the heavens and myriad worlds is indeed the most important thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoyaozi's gaze slowly shifted, passing through the void and landing on Chen Su on the ground.

At this moment, Chen Su remained calm, surrounded by a faint aura of rules. Standing beside Hui Shu and Xiao Hua, he seemed oblivious to all the clamor of the world.

Xiaoyaozi's gaze fell on Chen Su, and his tone was filled with guilt and apology as he slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Chen Su, this time, it was I who stole your identity, which caused you to be unable to recover to the Shattered Realm and delayed your path to the Great Dao."

"This time, I will bear the consequences of the Dao Realm's actions; it has nothing to do with you."

"In your previous life, you sacrificed too much to protect all the heavens and myriad realms, for the Dao Realm, and for all living beings. In this life, I will never let you suffer any more injustice or delay the Great Dao for the sake of the karma of the Dao Realm."

These words clearly reached the ears of everyone present, instantly causing a huge uproar.

Did they steal Chen Su's identity?

What exactly is Chen Su's identity? How could he make the Daoist leader, Xiaoyaozi, feel so guilty and remorseful, even willing to take on all the consequences?

A cultivator from the myriad realms standing nearby couldn't help but speak up, his tone full of doubt: "Senior Xiaoyaozi, you said that by taking over Lord Chen Su's identity, could it be that Lord Chen Su was originally supposed to be the Lord of the Dao Realm?"

Not only this cultivator, but all the cultivators from various realms present, except those who had regained their cultivation and memories, looked at Xiaoyaozi and Chen Su with puzzled expressions, their hearts filled with curiosity and incomprehension.

Xiaoyaozi did not deny it, but nodded slightly and said in a solemn tone, "That's right. In the previous life, Fellow Daoist Chen Su was the true chosen one of the Dao Realm, and the universally recognized candidate for the Lord of the Realm by all cultivators in the Dao Realm."

"However, in this life, the heavens are in chaos, resentment is rampant, and the Dao Realm is on the verge of destruction. In order to protect the Dao Realm and prevent its destruction, I had no choice but to seize the position of Realm Lord from Fellow Daoist Chen Su, take control of the Dao Realm, and resist the crisis."

"It is precisely because of this that Fellow Daoist Chen Su lost his position as Realm Lord and the opportunity to break through to the Shattered Realm with the help of the power of the Dao Realm. That is why he has been unable to recover the Shattered Realm and has been trapped in his current realm for many years without making any progress."

That's it!

Everyone suddenly realized what was happening, their faces showing disbelief. They all looked at Chen Su with admiration and sympathy in their eyes.

Who would have thought that Chen Su, who seemed indifferent and lived in seclusion on the earth, was actually the original destined ruler of the Dao Realm, and that he lost his position as the ruler of the realm because of Xiaoyaozi, thus delaying his path to the Great Dao.

What's even more admirable is that, despite all this, Chen Su remained calm, without the slightest complaint or resentment, as if none of this concerned him.

Pei Shaoyu looked at Chen Su, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: "Fellow Daoist Chen Su, I'm sorry you suffered in your previous life."

Li Sinan nodded, looking calmly at Chen Su, his tone filled with admiration: "To be able to remain calm in the face of honor and disgrace, and to disregard gains and losses, Fellow Daoist Chen Su, your state of mind far surpasses ours."

Just as everyone was discussing and admiring him, Chen Su slowly raised his head, his gaze passing through the void, meeting Xiaoyaozi's eyes from afar.

His face still held a faint smile, his eyes calm and indifferent, without the slightest resentment or grievance. He gently shook his head and slowly spoke, his voice clearly reaching the ears of everyone present: "I have found my own path."

One sentence left everyone present stunned.

Xiaoyaozi was also stunned, his face showing disbelief and his eyes filled with doubt: "Fellow Daoist Chen Su, what... what do you mean by that? I stole your position as Realm Lord and delayed your path to immortality. After this matter, I can return the position to you and help you quickly break through to the Shattered Realm to make up for my mistake!"

Chen Su gently shook her head, her tone still calm, yet carrying an undeniable firmness: "I have been waiting for your arrival, waiting for news from the Dao Realm. Now, my wish has come true. In this life, I will walk my own path!"
