#983 - The Heavenly Dao Appears
However, the Heavenly Dao's attack power was too strong. Even with the best intentions to help, it was powerless to reverse the situation and could only helplessly choose to leave.
From a distance, it silently watched the impending great battle,
secretly praying in its heart: Let's see how this Ancestor of Myriad Laws withstands the Heavenly Dao's attack?
Although Ancestor of Myriad Laws' strength was formidable, compared to the Heavenly Dao, there was still an insurmountable gap.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng stood tall like an unyielding giant pine, his eyes bright and full of determination and fearlessness.
This was a true life-or-death juncture, a final contest between himself and the Heavenly Dao.
The sky ahead roiled like boiling water, with lightning twisting and interweaving within, eventually forming a vague human figure.
This figure seemed to be condensed from countless bolts of lightning, emitting a terrifying aura.
It hovered in the air, not rushing to attack, but facing Li Chengfeng from afar, as if engaged in a silent contest.
Li Chengfeng did not rush to attack either, but calmed his mind and silently built up his strength.
Gazing at that vague shadow, he knew it was the Heavenly Dao woven from Dao rhythms, the source of rules for the entire Human Realm.
However, this Heavenly Dao seemed incomplete, as if some force had placed a seal upon it, preventing the Human Realm from nurturing beings truly capable of ascension.
Li Chengfeng carefully observed the Heavenly Dao, a wry smile creeping onto his lips.
So, the reason the Human Realm was in its current predicament was all because someone had tampered with the Heavenly Dao.
Thoughts raced through his mind, and he quickly understood the key.
Controlling the laws of the Human Realm was actually achieved by sealing the Heavenly Dao here, which was the hub for the operation of the Human Realm's rules.
This step sounded simple, but in practice, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven, impossible to do unless one possessed the strength of an ancient great power.
However, the Heavenly Dao at this moment no longer had a guardian, and its strength was naturally greatly reduced.
Just then, the Heavenly Dao finally emitted a special sound, a sound ethereal and distant, as if crossing the boundaries of time and space, directly transmitted into Li Chengfeng's mind.
"Hahaha, you are quite good. Under my strict blockade, you were actually able to grow.
How about this, I'll give you a chance to become my guardian, become my spokesperson, and you can live for at least ten thousand years.
How about it? Ten thousand years of lifespan, isn't it tempting?"
There was a hint of temptation in the Heavenly Dao's voice.
But Li Chengfeng smiled nonchalantly: "You really think too highly of yourself.
I can live for ten thousand years with my own strength, so why should I wrong myself to work for you?
Besides, you also know that I want to ascend to the Spirit Realm and pursue the path of longevity, how could I possibly be your guardian? That's just wishful thinking."
Hearing this, the Heavenly Dao immediately sneered: "Since that's the case, then I can only use Heavenly Punishment to destroy you.
I've already given you a chance, you didn't cherish it, it's your own fault that you can't live."
Li Chengfeng gently shook his head: "Your Heavenly Dao is incomplete. The reason it can barely survive is only because the will of the Heavenly Dao has not been extinguished.
In fact, from the moment you were sealed, there was no Heavenly Dao in the human world.
The other party sealed you in order to make the Heavenly Dao incomplete, so that we could not pass the lightning tribulation and advance to the Transformation God stage. And you, you are completely unaware of this.
When outsiders come to this realm and wantonly slaughter the living beings of the Human Realm, you do not show up to drive them away, to exterminate them. Aren't you going a bit too far by doing this?"
The Heavenly Dao sneered again: "Just some ants, like chives, one crop dies and another can grow.
If Li Chengfeng dies, there will be a second Ancestor of Myriad Laws who will grow up in the future, so why should I care? What I care about is how to get rid of this seal and regain my strength.
I am now trying to practice a clone, to separate a Heavenly Dao.
That way I can recreate a Human Realm.
I don't know which great power was full and had nothing to do, and actually sealed me.
The most pathetic thing is that I still haven't seen who the person who sealed me is."
Li Chengfeng couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard this.
There was a bit of mockery and unruliness in that laughter: "Heavenly Dao, ah Heavenly Dao, you are nothing more than this! Sealed by some great power, but you don't even know who the other party is, and you still try to get rid of the other party's seal.
But what about now? You have fallen to the point of being neither human nor ghost, and in the end, you can only focus on the guardian.
Hmph, being your guardian is simply a joke, there is no benefit at all, and you may even lose your own life.
I'm not so stupid as to do such a thankless thing."
Hearing this, the Heavenly Dao immediately roared: "Li Chengfeng, you know too much, today, I must kill you here, I must completely eradicate you!"
However, the Heavenly Dao shook its head again, with a hint of helplessness and self-deprecation in its voice: "Indeed, you are right.
This Heavenly Dao of mine has begun to deteriorate since it was sealed.
My heart is full of desires and greed, trying to control everything, but ultimately losing myself."
Li Chengfeng still said with a smile: "You're wrong, it was after you deteriorated that the great power sealed you.
You tried to refine the entire Human Realm into your own external avatar, to transcend the Heavenly Dao and become a cultivator.
You longed to be like me, pursuing freedom and ease, true immortality, and ascending to the Spirit Realm to be a carefree immortal.
Instead of being a rule that binds the Human Realm as you are now. Am I right?"
Hearing this, the Heavenly Dao burst into laughter: "Haha, as expected of a smart person, you were actually able to guess this.
So, how did you guess that I had already deteriorated?"
Li Chengfeng said with a smile: "Does it need to be guessed? The facts are right in front of you.
If you were a Heavenly Dao that had not deteriorated, how could you have allowed the Demon Race or the Evil Dragon Race to wreak havoc in the human world, causing countless lives to be ruined? From this, it can be seen that your mentality has long changed.
If your mentality remains unchanged, even if you are sealed, you will not turn a blind eye to the suffering of the Human Realm.
The duty and rules of the Heavenly Dao are to protect the Human Realm and protect all the cultivators of the entire Human Realm. Am I right?"
The Heavenly Dao gently shook its head and said: "Also right and also wrong.
Protecting the Human Realm is indeed to protect the spark of the Human Realm, this is my duty.
But, just like I once transferred this duty to my guardian, I tried to find an agent to continue this task.
However, so what? Too greedy, trying to transcend my own limits and become a being like me.
Time is indeed a very strange thing, it will change many things, even the rules will be affected and changed.
Therefore, I have to start thinking about myself too."
Hearing this, Li Chengfeng nodded slightly and said: "Your thoughts, your considerations, are actually not wrong, it can't be said that they are wrong.
Moreover, I also agree with your point of view, after all, in this world where the strong prey on the weak, if people don't act for themselves, they will be condemned by heaven and earth.
Everyone has the right to pursue their own interests.
But there is one thing I must also tell you, I have my principles. Although I agree with your approach to some extent, if you block my path, I must kill you."
