The Heavenly Dao's New Rules
Ling Xiao looked up at the void, yearning for an answer, but Pangu's figure had already completely disappeared into the world.
There was no response for a long time.
"What is the Nine Realms Ruins? Why must I go there?"
"Pangu must have come from the True Realm, otherwise how would he know so much?"
Ling Xiao's gaze became complicated; he suddenly felt that Pangu might not be dead.
As Pangu dissipated, the True Realm passage began to close. Even at the very end, some people still tried to rush in, but were drawn in by the power emanating from it.
They looked terrified and cried out for help, hoping someone would lend them a hand.
Ling Xiao, unmoved, stretched out his large hand and completely flattened and buried the True Realm passage, then used his great supernatural powers to repair the shattered void.
In an instant, the world returned to calm.
A great battle has ended.
Things have changed, but people are no longer the same.
The scene was one of utter devastation.
Some died, some fled, leaving behind only a ravaged and ruined world.
The invaders were driven away, but they also took some people with them. Perhaps one day these people will return with the invaders and wreak havoc on their homeland.
They look down on the creatures here, ashamed to associate with them, drawing a clear line between themselves and the land, forgetting that they once came from here.
As Ling Xiao looked around at the remaining people, each of them wore a bewildered and confused expression, seemingly unsure of where the future lay, yet firmly believing that the future held promise.
Even those with great supernatural powers are not immune to such contradictions.
Perhaps some are still regretting that they didn't muster the courage to step into the passage to the True Realm.
But to Ling Xiao's delight, he saw many familiar faces among them.
"This will be the most important and the most correct decision of your lives!"
Ling Xiao's expression was solemn. Without saying a word, he sat cross-legged in the void, raised his hands, and unleashed the Law of World and the laws of Fate.
Turn the Qiankun and create a new world.
Instantly, a vast power of laws emanated from him, surging towards the Celestial Sphere like waves and tides, expanding endlessly.
These laws constantly repair the broken world.
Oceans, mountains, rivers, earth, sun and moon—everything, those that were broken or disappeared, were restored to their original state through the reverse flow of the laws of nature.
The rules of heaven and earth were constantly being sorted out and improved, and everything slowly returned to normal.
The group of powerful figures were already used to this. Although they couldn't do it, they were very clear about Ling Xiao's methods, which had been replicated before.
But this was not the end. After Ling Xiao used his great supernatural powers to restore the original appearance of the Primordial World, he did not stop. He stirred up the Heavenly Dao and redefined the rules.
"Boom..."
Instantly, the power of the Heavenly Dao surged violently, expanding continuously from the heavens to the earth and then to the abyss.
After losing Human Path and the Earthly Dao, the way of Heavenly Dao became supreme. Under Ling Xiao's control, it was like a greedy Pixiu, devouring everything.
Soon, the power of the Heavenly Dao reached the level of Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal.
But this is not the end; there is still great potential for it to continue to grow.
The Heavenly Dao is a part of Ling Xiao, and is completely under its control.
As the power of the Heavenly Dao grew stronger, Ling Xiao's magical power also increased continuously.
The beings sensed the power and suppression of the Heavenly Dao, and their expressions immediately became solemn.
At this moment, the feeling they had of the Heavenly Dao was even more terrifying than that of the Heavenly Dao Hongjun back then; it completely surpassed it.
"Is this the second Hongjun? Dao Venerable... Dao Ancestor..."
"With the Heavenly Dao suppressing us so much, there's no hope of becoming a saint. Even Slashing the Three Corpses is a deception. Our path forward is completely blocked."
"The hero who once triumphed over the demon has now been corrupted, but in a different guise, sitting grandly on the stage, impeccably dressed, and utterly righteous..."
Some of the stronger individuals looked grim and felt incredibly heavy-hearted, suddenly realizing that staying behind was a mistake.
With the Heavenly Dao suppressing them so severely, how can they cultivate and progress? They probably have no hope of breaking through to the Primordial Origin in this lifetime.
Rather than doing that, it would be better to leave the Primordial World and rush into the True Realm passage for a desperate fight.
Now, there's no chance to leave even if I wanted to.
Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, the Heavenly Dao finally covered and unified the entire Primordial World, leaving only the Chaos untouched.
The Heavenly Dao, which now encompassed the entire Primordial World, possessed power roughly equivalent to the fifth level of the Chaos Taiji.
Then, Ling Xiao raised his hand and pointed again. Instantly, the Heavenly Dao roared and shone brightly, withdrawing its suppression of the Primordial World and releasing it completely.
In the past, the Heavenly Dao Hongjun suppressed the Primordial World, controlled everything, and prevented any troublemakers from emerging, but Ling Xiao had no need for that.
He possesses absolute power to control the Primordial World, and he is confident in that.
Ling Xiao sat cross-legged between heaven and earth, radiating terrifying power. After a long while, he suddenly spoke, uttering the voice of the Heavenly Dao.
"With this, a general amnesty is declared for all under heaven. From now on, the number of Heavenly Dao Sage in the Primordial World will increase to forty-nine. Anyone with virtue and fortune who has made outstanding contributions to the Primordial World can become Heavenly Dao Sage."
"Secondly, with the suppression of the Heavenly Dao lifted, all those with great comprehension and exceptional talent can comprehend the Proving the Dao via Law Primordial Chaos Realm. Forty-nine individuals have achieved the Primordial Origin Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal..."
Ling Xiao is sacred and solemn, like a unique deity in the world.
He continued the paths of both the Heavenly Dao Sage and the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
Firstly, it is prepared for virtuous people. Even if they are not qualified, they can do things that are beneficial to the Primordial World and gain merit to become Heavenly Dao Sage.
The second rule is for those with exceptional talent and brilliance.
These two paths to enlightenment have reached a perfect balance.
Those with ability should comprehend the Proving the Dao via Law through their own efforts, while those without talent should perform good deeds to Heavenly Dao Sage, giving everyone a chance.
The Heavenly Dao controls the Primordial World. According to Ling Xiao's calculations, the current Primordial World can only accommodate one hundred "Saints," which is the combined number of Heavenly Dao Sage and Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
He divided them into two groups, leaving one number for each.
As for beings at the Primordial Taiji realm, the current Primordial World can only accommodate three others besides him.
This is the limit that the Primordial World can bear.
However, Ling Xiao set a series of heavenly rules for the Sage to implement, to open up and refine the Chaos, and to strengthen the primordial Primordial World and improve the essence of the world through various means.
The limits of what the heavens and earth can contain will also increase.
New rules of the Heavenly Dao resounded throughout the world, reaching every corner of the Primordial World.
The world was in an uproar, and all living beings who heard the new regulations were shocked, yet also filled with immense joy, even ecstasy, and were so excited that their scalps tingled.
The journey from hell to heaven can be that fast.
"Forty-nine Heavenly Dao Sage, forty-nine Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal! Heavens! Could the Primordial World really have given birth to so many Sages?"
Some powerful figures were astonished, saying it was simply outrageous. They had thought nine Heavenly Dao Sages were a lot before, but now there were forty-nine.
"There is hope ahead, there is hope ahead..."
"I want to become the first enlightened Sage!"
In an instant, the entire Primordial World was in an uproar.
