How to capture the system fairies as wives

"Little sister."

Yu Ling narrowed her eyes slightly.

The next moment, everything that was still around was shattered. Yu Zhen took a few steps back, gasping for breath while holding his bleeding chest. Liu Xiangyun also collapsed on the ground and sobbed.

There was only Yu Ling, holding a sword, staring quietly at the sky outside the window.

The face formed by the clouds in the sky gradually condensing.

"...Daoist Master Qianyuan?" she asked coldly.

"I'd prefer you call me that."

"——Brother." An illusory voice sounded slowly.

Three Hundred and Sixty-Six, Eternal Chess Game

Above an endless cloud.

When Yu Ling walked out of the Yu Mansion with a sword in hand, he had already appeared here.

She was not too surprised, but just calmly looked at the endless rolling clouds around her.

And at the end of the clouds, there is a handsome man's face formed by the clouds.

"Nice to meet you, little sister." The man's voice seemed to come from a distant abyss, with a strong echo.

"I don't think of you as my brother, and I don't know you." Yu Ling said unhappily.

"It doesn't matter. It's enough for me to know you."

The man's voice was flat, without any emotion, just like an ancient Buddha with a kind and stern face.

"The karma I gave you back then has now borne fruit."

"You're finally back."

Yu Ling looked at the face quietly.

This was her first time to face the legendary Taoist master.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, she could clearly feel that the face in front of her seemed to be made of clouds and mist.

But that aura was not a face, nor a person.

...It seems like the whole world.

Yu Ling couldn't remember how long it had been since her time avenue had made her feel so insecure. The last time she felt so uneasy was a thousand years ago at Mount Buqi, when she and the children of the Yu League faced the scene of the Thirty Days for the first time.

For the first time, she felt that her Avenue of Time might not be able to make her invincible in front of this person.

"You are much more stunning than I thought."

The man continued calmly, "The Way of Heaven is dead. The Way of Time was once the most likely supreme way that Dao Masters believed would succeed the Way of Heaven."

"It's a pity that just entering the Dao is as difficult as ascending to heaven, let alone achieving the status of a Daoist master through this Dao."

"But, you are my little sister. I think you can do it." The face seemed to be staring at Yu Ling.

Yu Ling was silent for a long time, then slowly shook his head: "I'm not interested in being a Taoist master."

"But I do have a lot of doubts."

"If you are really my brother, would you be willing to answer this for me?"

"Of course." Taoist Master Qianyuan nodded slowly.

"What did you mean by 'Heaven is dead'?"

"literal meaning."

The voice of Taoist Master Qianyuan was like a huge bell. As the sound came in, some images also flooded into Yu Ling's mind.

"All things are maintained by the Way of Heaven, but tens of millions of years ago, the Way of Heaven was on the verge of breaking."

"The Great Dao was broken into millions, and the common people picked up the remaining pieces, and only then could they practice Taoism and achieve immortality."

"We Dao Zun are nothing more than those who can still speak out among all living beings."

"But as long as the way of heaven is imperfect, the world will not be complete."

"Someone will eventually choose a way to replace the way of heaven and bring peace and perfection to the world."

It took Yu Ling a long time to sort out the huge amount of information in her mind, and she frowned slightly:

"The only one who can choose to succeed the Heavenly Dao is the one who has mastered the complete Great Dao."

"And the one who has mastered the complete Great Dao... is Dao Zun?"

"That's right." Taoist Master Qianyuan nodded slowly.

“Although there are billions of living beings in the world, there are only three people throughout history who can fully understand the Great Dao.”

"They are the three Dao Masters today. I, Gu Tian and Nagarjuna."

"However, although the journey of the three of us has come to an end, we are still a little short of that one step to heaven."

"In the final analysis, it is hard to tell which is better among the three of us. In other words, none of us is worthy of being called the Way of Heaven."

Until this moment, some questions that had been bothering Yu Ling for a long time finally got answers.

“…If that’s the case.”

Her eyes were slightly downcast, and she looked at Daoist Master Qianyuan coldly and said, "I can roughly guess the effect of the Heavenly Dao Dust."

"……good."

Daoist Master Qian Yuan did not seem to intend to conceal it, but continued to speak in a calm tone:

"The way of heaven is broken, and each spirit is born. They are scattered in the world to benefit all things."

"However, it is still a fragment of the Heavenly Dao."

Daoist Master Qianyuan's tone was slightly low: "At first, Gu Tian had an idea and used the people with the fragments of the Heavenly Dao as bait to devour their understanding of the Dao and their fortunes."

"After he found that this move could indeed help him expand his own avenue, he became even more aggressive and it became unstoppable."

"In its domain, anyone who has touched upon the Heavenly Dao and cultivated to enter the Dao will be hunted down by it and all turned into food."

"…The same goes for your friends."

Yu Ling suddenly stared at him intently.

"You know about me?"

"I entered the Dao through cause and effect, and became a Daoist master. Now, my palm is turned upside down, and all the cause and effect in the world are revealed."

"I know your cause and effect very clearly." Taoist Qianyuan looked at her with a long gaze.

Yu Ling's fists gradually clenched. She took a deep breath, her eyes becoming colder:

"In that case, why don't you save them?"

"Because once the cause and effect are planted, it cannot be changed."

"Besides, I can't be an enemy of Gu Tian."

Daoist Master Qian Yuan said in a leisurely voice: "If Dao Masters start a war, the already shaky Heavenly Dao may not be able to withstand their power."

"By then, the Way of Heaven will be completely shattered, and the new Way will not yet be restored. The world may be in danger of a truly catastrophic catastrophe."

"However," he suddenly changed the subject, "I have observed the cause and effect, and the source of all things is in one person."

"…It's you, my little sister."

Yu Ling remained silent.

"The Dao of Time, from ancient times to now, no one has ever entered the Dao through this method. If I can stabilize my practice and achieve Dao Master status, perhaps I can put an end to the Dao catastrophe that has lasted for thousands of years."

As the words fell, Taoist Qianyuan raised his eyes slightly, and Yu Ling's body shook slightly.

Countless scenes flashed before her eyes.

Many emotions flashed across her eyes at once.

Confused, shocked, lost, frustrated, and finally turned into silence.

After a long while, she spoke in a trembling voice:

"Everything you showed me... is it true?"

"Whether it is true or not, I don't need to explain it further."

Daoist Qian Yuan looked at her calmly: "Little sister, you already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"

Yu Ling lowered her eyes deeply.

It was not until this moment that Yu Ling finally understood.

Everything, as if from the very beginning, has been unable to escape from cause and effect.

The story that I fell into the underworld by chance is totally false.

It's all the same cause and effect.

I am destined to fall into the underworld.

He was destined to meet the people of Yumeng. He was destined to have a grudge with Gu Tian because of this.

It is also destined that you will fall in love with someone.

Someone who loves you so much that he is willing to practice Buddhism and wait for you for a thousand years.

...Chen Yin.

They were destined to create a time loop that belonged only to the two of them.

It was destined that they would be married through the Misty Flower, which did not exist in the world at all, and that this would be an opportunity for them to attain enlightenment.

From beginning to end, Chen Yin's existence was just a tool for him to comprehend the great way of time.

Everything about him did not escape the script that had been written for him.

Including falling in love with him.

“Everything has its cause and effect, and every effect has its cause.”

"The catastrophe of the collapse of the Heavenly Dao has lasted for countless years."

"This game of chess has been going on for tens of thousands of years, and the three of us are all looking for a way to break it."

"Gu Tian is still unwilling to leave the stage, hoping to use the scraps of Heaven's Dao to strengthen his own Dao so that he can take over Heaven's Dao."

"I haven't told my parents about your affairs, little sister. But I believe you will understand."

Daoist Master Qian Yuan looked at her deeply and said, "You are my chess piece to break this game."

For some reason, Yu Ling suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Even when I first learned that Chen Yin was leaving and that I would have to wait for him for a thousand years, I had never felt so powerless and desperate.

In fact, she was not afraid that Daoist Qianyuan was deceiving her and that there was a bigger conspiracy behind it.

What she fears most.

What Daoist Master Qianyuan said is true.

Everything about her and Chen Yin was just a record on the cause and effect line of Taoist Qianyuan.

It is superficial, false, and can even be erased and modified at any time.

She can't accept it.

Seeing Yu Ling lowering her head, pursing her lips tightly and saying nothing, Daoist Master Qian Yuan did not rush to urge her. Instead, he said very patiently:

"Speak of it."

"About your sweetheart - oh, maybe I should call him brother-in-law."

"Chen Yin."

“His cause and effect is actually very interesting.”

"As a gift from your brother, I can make an exception and let my little sister see it."

"Are you interested?"

Yu Ling’s beautiful eyes were blank for a moment.
