"Wasn't it for strength?"
Hanyu was astonished. The power of rules indeed surpassed the Divine Way Realm; he had experienced this firsthand.
Never mind anything else—even before and after Hexi Slash awakened, his strength had undergone a tremendous change.
Before it awakened, he could barely hold his own against the three from Four Poles Hall.
But after Hexi Slash awakened, he could suppress Jiang Xinyuan and Shang Wanfeng in battle while still having enough strength to deal with Wuxian. That was the gap.
He was already like this. How much more so for two Heavenly Beings?
"That's one aspect. But when all was said and done, that isn't the most important thing about the rules."
Zhishou spoke in a grave voice.
From the very beginning, the Heavenly Beings' targets had been the Heavenly Dao and these three thousand rules.
"Since the rules can become the cornerstone of the Five Elements World, take a guess—what do you think the Heavenly Beings can use them for?"
Was it really only to increase their strength?
Hanyu pondered carefully. Considering Quan Xiaotong and the old Daoist's previous deductions—no, perhaps they could no longer be called deductions.
The old Daoist had declared that the Heavenly Being on the Heavenly Dao Sect's side had never intended to leave cultivators a way to live and might even want to destroy the world.
What if the same was true of Yanluo Hall?
"Could it be that they want to use these rules to destroy the world and then recreate it?"
Hanyu suddenly cried out, feeling a chill run through him.
This could no longer be considered mere world destruction, could it?
What kind of situation would require recreating the world? There would have to be destruction first, followed by recreation.
So those two lunatics actually wanted to destroy
