The night sky, above the brightest moon in December.

"To become the second Heavenly Emperor?"

Heng'e looked down at the earth below, a mysterious smile on her face.

Unlike Lu Ya, who was only half-baked, Heng'e has long since Dao Proving enlightenment, permeating every aspect of her life with her own will. She is now both the Heng'e who experienced the Ten Suns Destroy the World and the Heng'e of this era.

"I never expected that even you would develop such ambitions."

Slowly turning around, what came into Heng'e's view was a deity with a ram's head and a human body.

Anyone familiar with the Heavenly Emperor's rule knows his identity, for he is none other than Bai Ze, known as the "Heavenly Emperor Emperor's Strategist."

"It's not that I have ambitions, but that I don't want to see people suffer."

Bai Ze stroked his beard lightly, his eyes still shining as brightly as the sun.

"The Heavenly Emperor desires to attain the Great Dao, and we, as his subjects, are naturally overjoyed."

"But unfortunately, these ' Rebels ' have been appearing more and more frequently lately, and someone has to step up and take charge."

"Although the eldest prince is strong, he is kind-hearted by nature and is not suitable to be the ruler of this chaotic world."

Upon hearing this, Heng'e's smile became even brighter, but the kind of brightness that sent chills down one's spine.

"Ha, so you mean I'm ruthless?"

Gently raising his head, Bai Ze looked directly into Heng'e's eyes and answered.

"In chaotic times, harsh measures are necessary; you are indeed more decisive than the Crown Prince..."

"If the Heavenly Emperor truly fails to Dao Proving enlightenment, I am willing to acknowledge you as the true second Heavenly Emperor."

Heng'e could tell that Bai Ze's words were sincere, but that's why she was even more wary of this "Heavenly Emperor Emperor's strategist."

"To be honest, compared to the powerful Heavenly Deity in that pool, your strength is so weak it's almost unbearable to look at."

"If it weren't for the Father God's grace, I doubt you could have ascended to Heavenly Deity and survived until now."

"But your wisdom is undeniable; in this respect, even the Father cannot compare to you."

Before Bai Ze could refute, Heng'e continued.

"But that's precisely why I find it hard to believe you."

"Who knows if you were sent by the Father God specifically to test me and the Great Golden Crow?"

Seeing Heng'e's undisguised distrust, Bai Ze fell silent.

It might sound naive, but Bai Ze has never been an ambitious guy.

The reason I followed Wu Jun in the first place was because I saw that he truly had the ability and the will to quell the chaos of the world.

However, after the chaos was quelled, many things were no longer within Bai Ze's control.

Whether it's the gods' power of life and death over all living beings...

Or perhaps it's the chaos caused by the Heavenly Emperor's pursuit of Dao Proving over the past three hundred years...

Bai Ze saw everything and was anxious, but he was powerless to stop it from happening.

In fact, this is also the awkward situation of Bai Ze, who has wisdom but no power, in this era where strength is the main factor. If it weren't for Hao Jun's trust, Bai Ze wouldn't even have the power to turn his wisdom into reality.

From this perspective, Bai Ze's words to Heng'e now seem to carry a hint of betrayal towards the Wu Jun.

If someone with ulterior motives were to sow discord even slightly, even if Wu Jun were magnanimous and didn't hold it against them, Bai Ze, already marginalized, would be immediately isolated. "I can testify that I wasn't sent by the Heavenly Emperor to test you."

After a brief silence, a resolute glint flashed in Bai Ze's eyes, and his tone became firm.

"After all, you are not only the most legitimate successor to the Heavenly Emperor, but also the most powerful Rebels I know."

It must be admitted that Heng'e was genuinely surprised when Bai Ze uttered the word "Rebels."

Heng'e was certain that Bai Ze had absolutely no potential to break through the Divine Gate and Heavenly Pass.

Similarly, those Dao Proving One could not reveal their identities to Bai Ze.

Therefore, from any perspective, Bai Ze could not possibly know of the existence of Dao Proving One, much less know that he himself was a Dao Proving One. "Rebels? Do you know what you're saying?"

"I am the eldest daughter of the Heavenly Emperor; your accusation could even incite a division among the gods."

With an unperturbed expression, Bai Ze Heng'e and continued to answer calmly.

"Of course I know what I'm talking about. I can even guess why the Heavenly Emperor would issue a warrant for Rebels's arrest."

"You are the destroyers of the order of heaven and earth, the forecasters who know the past and the future, and also the Dao Proving One with great Divine Ability..." Seeing that Heng'e could no longer maintain her faint smile and stared at him in shock, Bai Ze sighed deeply in his heart. If possible, Bai Ze did not want to break this superficial stability.

However, he knew even more clearly that if even he wanted to maintain this superficial peace, then this chaotic world was truly beyond saving.

"As expected of the Heavenly Emperor Emperor's strategist, it seems you've already guessed quite a bit!"

No longer concealing her identity, Heng'e sighed in a tone so different from that of people of this era.

"You've never hidden it; it's just that your origins are too incredible."

"Having eliminated all the impossibilities, whatever remains, however incredible, is still the undeniable truth."

"I have personally killed several Rebels, each of whom possessed extraordinary powers beyond this era and a profound understanding beyond their own identities."

"Most importantly, they are not afraid of death."

Even after I revealed my identity, they still looked at me as if I were a stupid beast.

After a brief pause, Bai Ze was lost in his memories of the past.

"You know, I'm very familiar with that look that's like you're looking at an idiot."

"So I've been thinking, what kind of being would consider the Heavenly Emperor Emperor's strategist a fool?"

"I sincerely believe that their intelligence is not outstanding, at least not as good as mine."

"But their vision far exceeded my understanding, and it was a systematic and overwhelming cognitive superiority."

They called this "Divine Power" the primordial Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and they found a way to actively absorb it...

They believed that the so-called "Heavenly Emperor" was merely a fanatical and demonic Dao Proving One, and that all of Chi's struggles were meaningless...

"Some of them are just newborns, only a few days old, yet they possess eyes that have weathered the passage of time."

Coming back to his senses, Bai Ze revealed a bleak smile.

"Until that day, the Heavenly Emperor announced that he would Dao Proving and become a supreme being who transcends all living beings and whose lineage lasts for eternity."

"I suddenly realized that the Heavenly Emperor wanted to kill the time traveler who had returned from the future."

"It seems that a truly extraordinary being has been born in the future."

"Chi possesses a transcendent perspective and exceptional wisdom, and he imparts his wisdom to all living beings without reservation."

The ever-proud Heavenly Emperor became jealous, and this jealousy made him begin to doubt his own abilities.

"And so, a turmoil that had lasted for three hundred years began."
