The road to Dao Proving, the stairway to heaven

Perhaps influenced by Dayi, Heng'e had no obsession with rewriting her own destiny.

Because my father, my mother, and my brothers and sisters all lived in this era.

Therefore, Heng'e neither wanted nor was willing to travel alone to that distant and unknown future.

Heng'e's original intention in Dao Proving was to rewrite the fate of her brothers and sisters, and to rewrite the fate of her mother.

"Eight hundred years ago, from the moment God the Father announced his Dao Proving, I realized that my mother's health might be compromised..."

"Until five hundred years ago, Jinhong was taught by an unknown Dao Proving One and embarked on a path to overturn history."

"I saw hope for change in him, so I decided to step in."

While this wasn't the sole reason for Heng'e's demise, it was undoubtedly a significant turning point that led to her downfall.

Being rebellious, family-oriented, ambitious, and wanting to save his mother are not actually contradictory.

Or more precisely, it is precisely these contradictions that constitute the underlying character of Heng'e.

She harbored ambitions to become the second Heavenly Emperor, yet she was unwilling to live a solitary life like her father.

She was not fixated on changing her own destiny, yet she hoped that her mother and siblings could live on.

She had the courage to start a war, but she didn't want it to affect her sisters.

It was this contradictory mentality of wanting both that prevented Heng'e Xing Shen" (the Celestial Star Gods).

How much longer?

The Great Golden Crow gave Heng'e a deep look, revealing a domineering side she had never seen before.

It wasn't a discussion, nor an inquiry, but rather a commanding tone similar to that of Wu Jun.

"I..."

While Chang'e and the others were still confused, Heng'e immediately understood what the Great Golden Crow meant.

"According to my original estimate, even if the Five Decays of the Celestial Person were to occur, this process would still last for thousands of years."

Even following the original historical trajectory, Mother could have lived until the "Ten Suns Destroy the World"...

Unbeknownst to them, Heng'e revealed some more information about the future.

However, under these circumstances, neither the Great Golden Crow nor Chang'e had time to pay attention to those trivial details.

"Before that, although my mother may become seriously ill, she will live on."

"And over the next three years, I will find an opportunity to force you into the final battle."

"If I win, I will become the second Heavenly Emperor, completely altering the course of history."

"At that time, regardless of whether God the Father succeeds in Dao Proving, I will have the opportunity to write this history in my own way..."

With his eyes slightly narrowed, the Great Golden Crow looked at Heng'e, who had never been so obedient before, and his expression became increasingly serious.

Rewriting history? You're asking for it!

"You've only described the successful side. What if you fail?"

"Furthermore, even if I were to Dao Proving I don't know what I'll see after attaining enlightenment, rewriting history is something that must have a beginning and an end." Since Auntie changed history and survived, what about you?

With just one sentence, Heng'e was rendered speechless, and the Great Golden Crow's gaze became even sharper.

"Your so-called 'changing history' is nothing more than turning the one who Dao Proving from you into your concubine."

"Following the normal course of history, your aunt completed all the preparations for your Dao Proving, which is why you are who you are today."

"You plan to do the opposite, first making all the preparations for your aunt's Dao Proving, and then having her go and Dao Proving."

It was clearly just a guess, but the Great Golden Crow's words sounded unusually certain.

And through Heng'e's eyes, everyone could see that this was indeed what she thought.

Regardless of whether Heng'e ultimately succeeds in rewriting history, this is the method with the highest probability of success.

"Nonsense!"

Do you think your aunt would be willing to let her daughter sacrifice herself for her?

"And you guys, why did you wait until now to tell us what happened?"

The same word "nonsense" coming from the mouth of the Great Golden Crow gave a completely different feeling than when it came from Heng'e.

Everyone, including Heng'e, lowered their heads, not daring to look the other person in the eye.

Even though Heng'e has already Dao Proving...

Even though the Great Golden Crow has not yet found its own Dao Path...

But once the Great Golden Crow truly unleashed its fury, Heng'e might not tremble with fear, but she certainly felt an immense sense of oppression. This was the mark of a truly gifted and powerful being!

"Dao Proving" is a path explored by Li Boyang, the Dao Ancestor, but it is not necessarily the only way to become stronger.

Especially for a powerful being like the Great Golden Crow, whether or not he proves the Dao Proving does not affect his strength; at most, it only limits some of his abilities.

However, the Great Golden Crow showed no obvious interest in peering into the Long River of Time or traveling to other dimensions in the past or future. In other words, the Great Golden Crow may not possess the extraordinary abilities that Dao Proving One has attained Dao Proving.

However, in terms of absolute strength, the Great Golden Crow of this era completely crushes them.

"It was Mother... she told me not to tell you."

Despite her fear of the Great Golden Crow's wrath, Chang'e still timidly muttered something under her breath.

Whether out of helplessness or speechlessness, the Great Golden Crow looked at its most beloved younger sister and wanted to tell her that some things could be said in private, without necessarily needing the consent of the person involved.

"Shut up, I'll settle your score with you later."

The Great Golden Crow glared fiercely at Chang'e, then turned its gaze to Heng'e and asked.

So what's the situation now?

Why did my aunt's condition suddenly worsen?

Heng'e shook her head, looking slightly bewildered; she clearly didn't know what was going on either.

But then, as if realizing something, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, her perspective leaping Long River of Time to peer into the future. "It's Jinhong!"

As if she had witnessed something unbelievable, Heng'e's voice even trembled slightly.

At that very moment, a deafening roar suddenly echoed across the earth.

Rumble...

It was as if the heavens and earth had collapsed.

A golden light suddenly pierced through Kunlun and shot into the endless starry sky.

The next second, the gates of the Heavenly Emperor's Capital were forcibly pried open, and the [Long Stairway of Divine Ascension] that had disappeared reappeared deep within Kunlun. It was a Heavenly Ladder extending from the earth to the void, an invisible ladder shrouded in rosy clouds and endless auspicious energy.

"How is that possible? How did he do that!"

Upon noticing the [Long Stairway of Divine Ascension], the Great Golden Crow's pupils suddenly dilated dramatically.

Over these eight hundred years, there have been attempts to restart the [Long Stairway of Divine Ascension].

But all those who tried failed, and were subsequently Curse the Heavenly Emperor.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Great Golden Crow did not take the golden light of Kunlun to heart when it noticed it before.

Even if the one attempting this was the reincarnation of the Netherworld Lord, he didn't believe the other party could withstand the power left behind by his father. (Abandoning monthly votes/Female C recommendation votes/Heart dead)
