Chapter 670: Screw the Heavenly Dao!

The Heavenly Dao attacked Di Xin.

In front of the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak,

Li Changshou stood beside the pool with the Yin-Yang symbol. His vision was a little blurry, and he placed his hands behind his back and fell into a daze.

If he had walked step by step to this day, it would be a height that he had never expected when he regained consciousness in the Primordial World.

The Heavenly Dao had torn off its cover today and attacked Di Xin directly. It was the worst situation that Li Changshou had considered previously.

This meant that the will of the Heavenly Dao had no qualms and demanded that all living beings had to act in his script.

The plans could not keep up with changes.

It did not feel good.

Within the boundaries of the rules, he had to compete with the person who set the rules. The worst situation was like this. The other party broke free from the rules and slapped him.

In front of the Goddess’ Temple, the slap was merciless.

This meant that the “success rate” and “confidence” that he had obtained from his previous evaluation had been mostly destroyed. To him, the future that he could control had become untraceable.

Today, the Heavenly Dao attacked Di Xin. Tomorrow, it might attack Yun Xiao, Ling’e, and Brother Zhao!

Of course, there was no comparison between the two.

In the God-Conferment script of the Heavenly Dao, Di Xin was the core figure and an irreplaceable pawn.

However, Yun Xiao and Brother Zhao were purely experts. They did not have an “irreplaceable” attribute. He wanted to bring them away. As long as he convinced them and asked his teacher and the Grandmaster of Heaven to protect him, he could successfully leave the Primordial World even if the Heavenly Dao stopped him.

The price was that he would never return, as well as the only chance for him to lose the balance of the Heavenly Dao.

For some reason, he felt a little indignant.

He had to be steady and not be impatient.

He had already worked hard to such an extent. He was just short of becoming a god and rising up...

Could it be that the Heavenly Dao is deliberately pressuring me?

The subsequent steps did not require him to succeed as a disruptor and force him to leave early?

Or is the Heavenly Dao testing me?

Thoughts surfaced in Li Changshou’s heart. His clear Dao heart could not bear it.

“Ah...”

He sighed alone.

He sighed alone.

He took a step forward and gradually rose into the sky on the cloud ladder. Then, he flickered in the forest and disappeared in front of the Pill Chamber.

At that moment, it was the ceasefire in the chess room. He could find the “little bell” in front of the tree.

The Chaos Bell emitted a shadow glow. Zhong Ling, the spirit of the Chaos Bell, appeared beside him. She was dressed in a beautiful red dress and had a unique Void Illusion.

She blinked at the sky and tilted her head in confusion.

Li Changshou appeared in her vision and smiled warmly at Zhong Ling. Then, he sighed and sat by the lake.

“Ah? What’s wrong?”

The Chaos Bell Spirit came over curiously and teased with a smile, “Is there anything that can stump the Second Heavenly Emperor?”

Li Changshou looked at Zhong Ling helplessly and pointed at the blue sky outside the array formation. He casually activated the Little Qiong Peak’s Sky-Shrouding Array.

“How deep does Sister Zhong Ling know about the Heavenly Dao?”

“Who are you calling Sister?”

Zhong Ling widened her almond-shaped eyes and made a strangling gesture.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “I was wrong. Senior, don’t blame me. How much do you know about the Heavenly Dao Aunt Zhong Ling?”

“No, no, no. Call me Big Sister instead!”

Zhong Ling cursed angrily and jumped onto the tree branch. Her body swayed with the breeze as she thought carefully.

“We are ultimately Dharma treasures. Our understanding of the essence of the Great Dao is different from you living beings. The Heavenly Dao is just that. It was born from a will. Its foundation was the Great Dao that had been formed from the Primordial World. Now, there are six Saints’ power as the cornerstone. Hence, it has an extremely strong binding power to the world. Your Great Dao of Equalization should understand this very well.”

“Sometimes, I really don’t understand it so thoroughly.” Li Changshou rubbed his glabella and muttered to the Chaos Bell’s spirit in his heart, “At this moment, I really want to ignore it and rush over in one go. I’ll kill him and escape. I want to only care about my own revenge and not care about the calamity behind. However, the strange thing is that a selfish person like me who is afraid of death will also care about people, matters, and things that I shouldn’t care about. Ah, I feel that it’s a little ironic.”

Zhong Ling turned to look in the direction of the straw hut. Ling’e was looking over curiously.

“The instinct of living beings is to survive. That’s actually understandable.” Zhong Ling smiled and said, “I can’t understand what you’re saying. Do you know why I left the Grandmaster of Heaven and specially came to look for you?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “It’s naturally not because of my position as an ordinary minister of the Heavenly Courts.”

“The Heavenly Courts are just puppets of the Heavenly Dao’s will. Although the Heavenly Courts are powerful and regulated, they are inferior to the Ancient Demon Court in my eyes.

I feel that you are a good fellow. You have many contradictions and are two-faced. You said that you don’t want to be involved in karma, but now, all karma is involved.”

Li Changshou shrugged and said calmly, “Tell me about the Ancient Demon Court.”

“The Ancient Demon Court... What’s there to say? Although they could not escape their fate of being manipulated, they would at least be free for a period of time. A group of living beings would gather together to survive, fight with the heavens and the earth, and ultimately ascend into the world. Don’t dislike hearing that. You are a human who is born to be hostile to the demons. I’m talking about the period before the human race was born.”

Li Changshou asked via voice transmission, “Was the Heavenly Dao taboo in the Demon Court at that time?”

Zhong Ling trembled and hurriedly said, “Don’t ask about it, the Heavenly Dao will fall out with you!”

“Alright, I know. I was just looking for you to confirm.”

Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief and stood up. The confusion in his eyes disappeared.

“Sister Zhong, help me.” Li Changshou turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of the straw hut. “If anything changes later, protect my junior sister and bring her to the Chaos Sea.”

The Chaos Bell blinked. “Are you going to flip the table?”

“You must be joking. I’m not qualified to flip the table.”

Li Changshou smiled and sighed. “Tell Ling’e not to worry. I’ll go out and take a walk. She’s actually very sharp. I’m afraid that she might think too much.”

After saying that, Li Changshou’s figure turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated gently with the breeze by the lake.

In the straw hut, Ling’e could not help but tilt her head. She sensed something unusual.

The Chaos Bell slowly floated over and became ten feet tall. Zhong Ling sat on the top of the bell flirtatiously and smiled at Ling’e.

...

Ah, the Heavenly Dao.

By the Heavenly River, Li Changshou walked aimlessly with his hands behind his back. He felt the majestic waves when the endless Heavenly River surged. An indescribable feeling arose in his heart.

When the King of Shang, Di Xin, paid his respects to the Nuwa Temple, he was disrespectful to the Goddess Nuwa of the human race. First, he asked to see the Goddess’s face. Then, he revealed an infatuated look to the Goddess and wrote a poem on the wall of the Nuwa Temple.

The tent in Nuwa’s palace was very beautiful. The statue of Nuwa was decorated with gold.

The mountains in the distance were filled with greenery. Dressed in beautiful clothes, Nuwa started dancing.

The pear blossoms were beautiful in the rain, and the peony smoke covered the makeup.

However, he had to take action and retrieve King Chang Le.

Then, he laughed and left the temple.

In less than an hour, the ground of the South Continent trembled. The statue of the Goddess of Mercy collapsed. Dark clouds covered Chaoge City, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. There was a faint dragon roar.

When Wen Zhong, who was on an expedition, heard that, he almost fainted from anger and rushed back to Chaoge City.

Heh, let the current human emperor tease the Goddess of the human race.

How laughable!

No, it was simply shameless!

Even if Li Changshou had known that there would be such a thing as a God-Conferment, he really did not expect that it would be facilitated by such a method.

The Heavenly Dao attacked directly and stabilized the Human Emperor’s destiny that was protecting Di Xin. It affected the Human Emperor’s mind.

The Heavenly Dao would do what the Great Tribulation could not.

The Heavenly Dao had personally made up for the slip-up of the Maitreya in the dark.

For what?

Just for the ridiculous script, just for the fixed end destination of the world?

Ridiculous! Ridiculous!

However, what can I do?

People like him were afraid of death and focused on hiding. That was why the Heavenly Dao had entrusted him with important tasks and made him a living being who could influence the world under the order of the Heavenly Dao.

A person like him wanted to be stable in everything and consider everything. He could see the full appearance of the Heavenly Dao, so he did not dare to easily pry open the foundation of the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao must have used that.

This time, the Heavenly Dao attacked Di Xin. Li Changshou did not expect that it would affect him so much.

In fact, he had already thought of an idea to counter the Heavenly Dao. However, what he was most afraid of now was that his idea was the situation that the Heavenly Dao wanted...

The explanation was very complicated. There were more than sixteen to seventeen levels.

This was not a simple matter of ‘the more I think about it, the angrier I get’. It involved too much and contained too much.

To put it simply, Senior Lang had used his death back then to exchange for the only path that could allow him to defeat half a son.

However, the Heavenly Dao suddenly did not follow the rules set by the Heavenly Dao. The path began to collapse.

If he made a move to correct these rules and stabilize this Dao path, he would use the power to restrict the Heavenly Dao. He would have to expose his trump card and lose the ability to threaten the Heavenly Dao. That might be the outcome that the Heavenly Dao wanted.

However, if he remained silent this time, the Heavenly Dao might take the opportunity to interfere with the Great Tribulation and push the person he wanted to save onto the guillotine. Then, it would continuously force him and make his previous efforts go to waste...

It was very annoying.

The power was extremely asymmetric. That was the greatest dilemma he was facing.

However, in order to obtain the qualifications to compete with the Heavenly Dao, Li Changshou had almost used his full strength. When he confirmed that the Heavenly Dao could not kill him directly, he could not change much.

He suddenly felt that it was ridiculous.

After working hard for so long, he was still like an infant in front of the Heavenly Dao.

Crash...

The Heavenly River crashed into the embankment formed by starlight and created waves, causing Li Changshou’s Dao heart to tremble.

Clear Mind, restart.

Should I retaliate?

Do I really have to correct the Heavenly Dao and jump into the trap set by the Heavenly Dao for a human emperor who is unrelated to me?

Although the matter was rather complicated, the underlying logic was clear.

“When the fist that is clenched is thrown out, it will lose the strength that can only be accumulated with a strike. In the future, if you need this fist to attack, the effect will be greatly reduced.”

It was really difficult to choose between the two.

Shouts came from afar. He had accidentally walked to the place where the Heavenly River Navy was stationed and saw Bian Zhuang, who was acting.

That fellow should have discovered his figure long ago. At that moment, he was shouting excitedly.

Li Changshou smiled and shook his head. His figure turned into smoke and dissipated.

He suddenly felt a little sad.

I have already guided many people and arranged many people. Who can guide me?

He could only go to the Grand Pure One Temple.

No matter what he did next and what he wanted to do, it was on the basis that his teacher supported him.

In a daze, Li Changshou had already arrived at the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. He found the small courtyard and looked out. The wooden door of the courtyard had already been opened.

Li Changshou took a step forward. This time, it was different from before. As soon as he entered the small courtyard, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly, as if he was in the clouds.

The left side was pitch-black, while the right side was hazy white.

The Grand Pure One’s thin figure was sitting not far away. At that moment, he opened his eyes with some effort and revealed an ugly smile at Li Changshou.

Although it was ugly, it was very warm.

Li Changshou felt inexplicably relieved. He bowed to his teacher and was led to the Grand Pure One.

The Grand Pure One summoned a meditation cushion and gestured for Li Changshou to take a seat. When Li Changshou sat properly, he asked via voice transmission, “What’s wrong?”

“Teacher.” Li Changshou did not know why, but his nose felt a little sore. He raised his hand to rub his nose and endured it. He smiled and said, “I’m a little confused.”

The Grand Pure One spoke with some effort, but his voice was rather gentle.

“Speak.”

“Teacher, have you seen what happened at the Goddess’s Temple?”

The Grand Pure One seemed to know that he was speaking slowly and nodded gently.

Li Changshou smiled bitterly and said, “I really don’t understand why the Heavenly Dao is so anxious and why it has to... Forget it. I actually know the answer, but I’m unwilling to admit it. Teacher, do you know the details of what I have been doing?”

The Grand Pure One pondered. He nodded slightly but shook his head slowly.

“I... can’t... guess.”

“I shouldn’t have hidden it from you. I just didn’t have the chance to report it to you.”

Li Changshou raised his fingers and flicked them gently. He opened a chessboard in front of him.

“I have a thousand-year plan that has been implemented 80%. The plan is called the disappearance of ‘X’. This X is actually a variable and unknown. In the words of the Primordial World, it was a variable. Teacher, you should have realized that I’m especially active in the growth of the various children of the Great Tribulation during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. Teacher, do you think that it’s because of my special background that I’m looking for a sense of participation?”

Taiqing frowned slightly. He seemed to be asking, “Isn’t that so?”

That was the first time Li Changshou had grasped the initiative to talk to his teacher. He had successfully avoided falling into the strange circle where his teacher would speak for an average of eighteen days.

Li Changshou said slowly, “My personality actually doesn’t allow me to participate in these things. When I learned that my hometown senior had been killed by the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor, I had the intention to leave. Moreover, this feeling was very urgent, making disciples often unable to breathe. I can’t eat or sleep in peace because of that. I don’t dare to stop for a moment. Every day, I think about how to retreat. In the end, I thought of it. I’ll escape.”

historical

“Oh?” A hint of understanding appeared in Taiqing’s eyes. He seemed to have understood Li Changshou’s entire plan, but he gestured for Li Changshou to continue.

Li Changshou sighed and continued,

“To be precise, it’s the escape of an era. When I became a Golden Immortal, I pushed open the door of the Great Dao and saw a low-level Great Dao of the Primordial World. There was no perfection in the matter, no perfection in the truth. There was a flaw in the truth, which was one in fifty. The Heavenly Dao is meant to protect the world, or rather, to control the world. While deducing the endless Great Dao, one had to merge and accommodate these rules. That was the foundation of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, one of the 50 Great Dao and 49 Heavenly Evolution could not be controlled by the Heavenly Dao. What I have to do is this one in the thousand years before and after the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. Therefore, I schemed and arranged for Yang Jian to arrange for every child of Great Tribulation in the God-Conferment Tribulation. Throughout the process, I pulled the Heavenly Courts to prosper and suppressed the prosperity of the Western Sect. I arranged for the Heaven Ascension Hall of the trichiliocosm, the Immortal Alliance, and so on. Most of the variables in the world today are related to me. I am also a variable in the world. Ever since the Jade Emperor bestowed the position of Taibai Jinxing, I have been in charge of reform, killing, and deducing the new order of the six paths. I also obtained the God roll and the God Striking Whip in the Purple Cloud Palace. I have become the greatest variable. I have become the first of this era.”

Li Changshou sighed slowly. His eyes were filled with helplessness. He saw the encouragement in his teacher’s eyes and said softly, “In this process, I have three advantages. Firstly, I’m a pawn of the Heavenly Dao. I’m afraid of death and want to leave the Primordial World. The Heavenly Dao likes me the most. Secondly, with Teacher’s support, if not for Teacher’s protection, the Heavenly Dao would have probably killed me when it sensed my actions. Thirdly, I have a gift from that senior. This is also my last resort. The Great Dao of Equalization is only the foundation of everything. Back then, I could comprehend the Great Dao of Equalization. It was most likely done by the Heavenly Dao. It was so that when I left, I could take away the Great Dao that could threaten it. I seem to have a tacit understanding with the Heavenly Dao. The Great Dao of Equalization was separated from the Primordial World’s Dao law sea. The Heavenly Dao was less restrained. Now, the Heavenly Dao is already waiting for me to escape or force me to escape after the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. At that time, the Heavenly Dao could be perfected to a certain extent and use a moment of perfection to obtain eternal stability. After Master Qi Yuan was spat to death by the Golden Crow, I already understood that path. But! But it! It was so unrestrained in front of the Goddess’s Temple! It was fearless! Why did he choose Maitreya to attack!?! This is just mocking me. I can only be a pawn of the Heavenly Dao. I have already begun to pressure myself!”

“The Heavenly Dao cannot wait any longer. It either forced me to attack and make me reveal my trump card in advance, or it began to force me to escape in advance! That’s right. The Great God-Conferment Tribulation has been fully activated. I don’t need to do anything else. Heavenly Dao! What do they think of living beings! What do they think of humans!?! The current human emperor is a joke! He is a joke that does not even know the appearance of the world!”

“Quiet.”

The Grand Pure One shouted softly. Li Changshou’s excited expression instantly calmed down and he slowly took a deep breath.

“Teacher, I lost my composure.”

“It’s fine.” The Grand Pure One smiled slightly. His smile was gentler than before.

The Grand Pure One seemed to want to say something, but he only looked at Li Changshou with a gratified gaze. He seemed to be gratified that Li Changshou could see, understand, and do all that.

“Teacher, I really don’t know what to do now.”

Li Changshou smiled bitterly and said, “I want to go to the Fire Cloud Cave to wake Senior Suiren up and go to the Purple Cloud Palace to ask Grandmaster to give the human race an explanation. However, I know that the Heavenly Dao is waiting for me to do that. I want the Fire Cloud Cave to appear. After losing that card, I would lose an arm no matter what I want to do after the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. However, if I don’t interfere with the Heavenly Dao’s direct attack now, the Heavenly Dao will definitely use Yun Xiao to threaten me in the future... I feel helpless. The rules were set by the Heavenly Dao. I cannot break them. I originally thought that since the Heavenly Dao could not kill me, I would have the qualifications to compete with the Heavenly Dao. I did not expect that in the end, everything was still under the Heavenly Dao’s scheme. The Heavenly Dao would not give its disciples the chance to complete all their ideas. It would not sit and wait for death. It’s easier said than done.”

“You’re already... not bad...”

The Grand Pure One said with some effort, “Let go.”

“But Teacher! If I lose when the time comes and I have to attack, you and the two Uncle-Masters will... suffer a crushing defeat. There will be no chance for us to turn the tables!”

The Grand Pure One slowly closed his eyes and spat out a word.

“Jie.”

‘Jie?’

Li Changshou was stunned. The black and white aura around him slowly surrounded him. Wisps of enlightenment entered Li Changshou’s Dao heart.

This is...

Yin-Yang Great Dao, Life-Death Exchange!

Li Changshou’s Dao heart trembled slightly. Yin and Yang Qi surged everywhere in his spiritual platform. Numerous insights filled his Dao heart, but they were dissolved in the deepest part of his essence soul.

He suddenly understood many principles.

He suddenly saw the error in his thinking.

He had to understand the principle of using minimal effort to achieve great results.

He could not be thorough. He could not grasp 98% of the chances of winning. He had to find the “fish that escaped the net”.

The teachings of Jie School were to obtain a chance of survival for the world and living beings.

The teachings of Ren School were to let nature take its course. One had to be quiet and not do anything. Yin and Yang are easy to change, and they are born to die.

An ant can shake a tree!

If he did not jump out, how could he reach the same level as the Heavenly Dao? If he changed his mind and did not play all the cards he could in the open, the Heavenly Dao would not be at ease.

It was complete nonsense to want to fight the heavens like that. Everything was under the control of the Heavenly Dao.

Yes!

Yes!

This time, he had to pretend to be reckless. It was impossible for him to have a 98% chance of winning. He had to take back his life in that instant.

No matter how thorough he was, he was still the Heavenly Dao!

It was not just him. The six Saints could not deduce the Heavenly Dao even if they worked together! That was because the deduction itself relied on the power of the Heavenly Dao!

Living towards death, only living towards death!

Uh, it were the lives of the living beings of the Primordial World. Li Changshou saw the subsequent scenes at a glance. He was quite safe.

“Teacher, I understand...”

Li Changshou paused and saw that the Yin and Yang Qi around him were slowly dissipating. The Dao runes of the Taiji Painting quickly faded away. The teacher in front of him was only left with an illusion. He smiled and nodded at him.

“Go.”

Yes, Teacher always knows what he is doing.

All of this is a game between Teacher and the Heavenly Dao. Teacher previously said that he could not guess it, but it was actually to ease the emotions in his heart.

Li Changshou stood up and bowed deeply to the shadows of his teacher.

When the surrounding Yin and Yang Qi dissipated, a huge tree crown appeared in front of him.

Moon laurel tree!

Glacial Palace?

Teacher really... deduced what I’m going to do next.

Li Changshou took a deep breath and his eyes shone brightly. He placed his hands behind his back and landed in front of the Glacial Palace.

Sorry, Heng’e.

This time, I’ll use your identity as Senior Lang’s disciple.

It was time to reveal the Heavenly Dao’s taboo and sun it. He should reveal it and pressure the Heavenly Dao.
