I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi glared at Nuwa and said angrily, "They are not tools, but living beings of flesh and blood, with thoughts and souls."

"They are, but you are not."

Nuwa looked at Lin Yi and said without emotion, "You are the embodiment of the Great Dao, and it is you who have dragged them into your fate."

Their existence is merely to help you through your tribulations. If you achieve complete enlightenment, you will naturally attain enlightenment and transcend.

If you remain obstinate and refuse to see the truth, the world will descend into chaos.

"What kind of bullshit destiny is this?!"

Lin Yi was furious when he heard this.

So in the end, they're just using him as a tool? And again, they're using the destruction of the world as leverage.

If he were to seize power, the first thing he would do is shatter the Mandate of Heaven!

"I can't explain it to you, figure it out yourself!"

Nuwa pointed her finger at Lin Yi, and a wisp of rhythm transcending the Great Dao appeared in Lin Yi's mind.

"Dao begets one, one life two, two begets three, three begets everything."

It was that familiar phrase again, but this time, with Nuwa's demonstration, Lin Yi finally saw the true secret.

The Tao gives birth to One, which is the Heavenly Way, which is both ruthless and orderly.

From then on, heaven and earth were clearly distinguished, the clear and the turbid were differentiated, there was yin and yang and the five elements, there was the rotation of day and night, and the stars shifted and the constellations moved.

After this, the Heavenly Way of Sentimental Chaos, which is the opposite of the ruthless order, was born.

Thus, the world came to have flowers, trees, insects, fish, birds, and beasts, with all kinds of creatures vying for dominance.

The creations of the sentient yet disordered Heavenly Way depend on the environment built by the insentient yet orderly Heavenly Way. The two are opposite, but not in conflict.

The Third Heavenly Dao was born from the fusion of order and disorder, emotion and indifference.

The Third Heavenly Dao is not a complete Heavenly Dao, but a Heavenly Dao that exists based on the existence of all things. It is not that the Third Heavenly Dao gives birth to all things, but rather that the Third Heavenly Dao gives birth to all things.

The third path is destiny and reincarnation.

When Lin Yi was comprehending the chaos, he almost grasped these principles, but was interrupted by the First Demon Ancestor, which temporarily stopped him.

With Nuwa's guidance today, Lin Yi finally understood.

Nuwa is the embodiment of the second Dao, while he is the embodiment of the first Dao.

Because the Third Heavenly Dao exists based on the First and Second Heavenly Dao, it transcends the First and Second Heavenly Dao, yet is weaker than both of them.

The Way of Heaven is not the end point; it also has its own path to enlightenment.

Like Nuwa, who attained enlightenment, she perceived the disorder of emotions, understood the order of indifference, and finally returned to the disorder of emotions.

Lin Yi's path is exactly the opposite.

He is ruthless yet orderly, realizes that emotion is disorderless, and ultimately returns to ruthlessness and order.

Only through a complete cycle of reincarnation can one attain enlightenment.

Do you understand your destiny now?

Lin Yi nodded, then shook his head.

"I understand, but I can't accept it."

According to Nuwa's deduction, if a person with emotions and disorder were to control the highest heavenly way, in the end, it would be equivalent to replacing the previous heavenly emperor with a different person.

The dragon slayer becomes the dragon himself, and the killing will never cease.

If the way of Heaven is not impartial, then the world will return to chaos and annihilation.

Lin Yi, however, did not accept this deduction result.

"The existence of emotions and disorder is the fundamental force driving the development of the world. If people had no selfishness or desires, the world could not move forward."

Even if this world existed forever, what would be the point?

His existence, whether for a moment or for eternity, is meaningless.

Therefore, I will not be a heartless force of Heaven.

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Nuwa couldn't help but sigh.

"Failed again."

"again?"

This character seems to contain a lot of information, but Nuwa did not explain it.

He simply sighed and said, "Since you insist on this, I respect your choice."

This body was an illusion I used to guide you onto the path of enlightenment. Unfortunately, while you have entered the path, you cannot attain liberation. My mission is unfinished, and it should end here.

After saying this, Nuwa's body began to slowly dissipate, turning into a wisp of starlight and heading deeper into the starry sky.

As she left, she gave Lin Yi a final hint.

"The return of all laws to their origin is irreversible. If you are unwilling to control the Heavenly Dao, you can only disperse all laws and retain your true nature."

This is also the only way to bring the dead back to life.

Lin Yi watched the light fade away, and a sense of loss washed over him.

Nuwa has finally departed.

She exists only to guide him into the path; there may be no feelings between them at all.

Thinking about this, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

He cried out into the depths of the starry sky: "What would happen if all laws were not dispersed?"

"To become a mortal."

From the depths of the starry sky, a faint voice echoed.

This result is not bad.

Would you rather be the eternally ruthless and desireless Heaven, or a mortal with feelings and righteousness, surrounded by wives and concubines?

Lin Yi's choice was undoubtedly the latter.

He certainly couldn't retain power, but he would never let anyone else benefit from it.

He grabbed the Great Celestial Venerable's corpse, burned him to ashes, and then reached into the cycle of reincarnation, trying to pull the Great Celestial Venerable out, but was told by the Six-Tailed Fox that the Great Celestial Venerable could no longer enter the cycle of reincarnation.

His true spirit had been destroyed by Lin Yi's Heart Sword Technique and no longer exists.

Lin Yi was finally relieved.

From today onward, I will be an ordinary person.

He married his wives and lived a shameless life.

Of course, both Heaven and Hell must be their own people.

If you die in the future, you can avoid reincarnation and start over. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Lin Yi felt happier the more he thought about it.

The world no longer needs anyone to protect it; he, the guardian of humanity, can finally go home!

With a joyful heart, he wanted to return to the human world first, but a guiding force had already arisen between heaven and earth.

He has already merged with the Great Celestial Venerable, Destiny, and Reincarnation; the Heavenly Dao is also waiting for him to fully merge with it.

It's like a game entering a forced animation scene; you either merge with the path or get stuck there.

"Sigh, they won't even let me be the ruler of the Three Realms for a single day..."

Lin Yi was somewhat annoyed, but he had no choice but to follow the countermeasures left by Nuwa.

The ability to dispel all magic can also be achieved directly using the Demon-Slaying Manual.

Lin Yi planted the talent tree at its root, and countless Dao origins flew out from his body.

These constitute the authority of a world.

Although these powers have left his body, Lin Yi can still command them and bestow them upon whomever he wishes.

In the mortal realm, Bixia, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes, and then a powerful source of energy entered her body.

This is all the authority of the underworld.

Yan Qingqiu was also treated in a similarly crude and simplistic manner.

Lin Yi returned the power of fate to her, but unfortunately, she could not obtain any other power.

Lin Yi certainly wouldn't let outsiders have the remaining power. He first put it on his own wives, and only when they couldn't handle it did he replace them.

No wonder it is said that when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven; Lin Yi's enlightenment brought his entire family to immortality.

It was at this time that Lin Yi was able to better understand the true meaning of Nuwa's words.

If immortals have personal feelings or selfish desires, they will definitely consider any benefits from their own selfish perspective.

It is simply unrealistic to rely solely on morality to restrain people.

If this continues, it will inevitably lead to disaster.

Those who have selfish motives and control the Heavenly Way will eventually become the next Heavenly Emperor, and Lin Yi is no exception.

Lin Yi knew this was wrong, but he didn't intend to change it.

Since we are going to give away all our knowledge, it's better to give it to people we know than to strangers. There's no need to be bound by other people's moral values.

Seeing that Yan Qingqiu and Bixia had both returned successfully, Lin Yi was relieved.

To Lin Yi's surprise, Xiao Cao bore the greatest weight of the Great Dao's essence. Lin Yi vaguely felt that she might be the best candidate for the next Great Celestial Venerable.

"The rulers of the underworld, the human world, and the heavenly realm are all my people. What does it matter that I am just a mortal?"

Lin Yi raised his head slightly, but after dispelling all his magic, his body was extremely weak, and seemed to be continuing to weaken.

Lin Yi immediately sensed something was wrong.

He was blocked by the Heavenly Dao and had to release his Great Dao Origin ahead of schedule. When this Great Dao Origin left his body, it actually caused his physical cultivation to decline significantly.

Lin Yi quickly accelerated his flight towards the human world. This was the starry sky; once he became a mortal, he might die here.
