Chapter 254
Daowu his own life to forcibly nourish Xia Changsheng's soul, thus dragging down her last vestige of life.
This wisp of life could not speak, could not communicate with him, and could only watch in despair.
Daowu did not live as freely as Xia Changsheng had wished; instead, he became a shackled beast, frantically tearing at everything in sight.
He hated all those who took away the Authority of God, he hated those who plunged Xia Changsheng into despair, and he hated this filthy and ugly Astral Realm that deserved to perish!
Daowu to exist, heaven and earth are annihilated.
He cannot commit suicide unless he possesses the power to destroy the world!
And anyone who wants to kill him is essentially destroying this world!
That was a dark and long history—a war-torn Astral Realm, Divine Venerable Realm devouring each other—which finally calmed down slowly under Daowu's bloody suppression and plunder.
He reclaimed the Authority of God that belonged to Xia Changsheng one by one.
The Realm Domain belonging to the seven Elemental Authorities were completely slaughtered by him.
However, he was never able to eradicate the Huaxia Realm Domain.
How ironic!
These parasites, who had been fighting amongst themselves under Xia Changsheng's protection, became unprecedentedly united after losing her. They were willing to sacrifice one Authority of God after another to protect the Realm Domain behind them.
This did not move Daowu; it only made him feel utterly disgusted.
How could such a disgusting life form exist in this world!
Daowu had both love and hate for the Huaxia Realm Domain.
He once loved them so much because of Xia Changsheng.
His current deep hatred for them stems from Xia Changsheng.
Daowu unaware that Xia Changsheng had been watching him all these years. That wisp of his soul could do nothing but watch in agony as his own foolishness and arrogance led to one irreversible tragedy after another.
Through these memories, Li Yang finally understood what Daowu was seeking.
He was searching for any way to revive Xia Changsheng.
He is also trying to create a new world.
The only person who might be able to enter the new world is Xia Changsheng.
He wanted Xia Changsheng to be resurrected in a brand new world... a world without disappointment, pain, betrayal, or fickle human nature.
At the same time, the Daowu is also exacerbating the pollution of this world.
He was protected by that law, and he was also bound by it.
He can only kill himself by killing the world.
He wanted to perish together with everything.
My only hope is that Xia Changsheng can be reborn in the new world.
However, Xia Changsheng was not unconscious. She vaguely watched everything he did, but she was unable to stop him or even say a word to him.
After a long period of time, Xia Changsheng finally realized how foolish, naive, and arrogant he had been.
She is indeed guilty!
What a grave sin!
The power that Daowu used to revive Xia Changsheng was all secretly accumulated by Xia Changsheng.
She used these powers to give herself the consciousness of independent existence of her Fortune Spirit.
She secretly sent Fortune Spirit away.
She didn't assign any so-called mission to her Fortune Spirit; she only hoped that she would naturally meet someone.
My memory ends here.
After sending the Fortune Spirit away, Xia Changsheng lost consciousness, leaving behind only this long letter.
Li Yang awoke from her long memory, her mind slightly dazed.
She heard Xia Changsheng's voice; it was the last vestige of her consciousness.
"I once thought that spreading the Dao of Pure Cultivation throughout the Astral Realm would be an easy task; that was my arrogance. I once thought that everyone could benefit from the Dao of Pure Cultivation; that was my naiveté. I once thought that I could do everything by myself; that was my foolishness."
"Successor, I don't know what you've been through, but I know you're not alone, but a generation after generation."
"I always thought I had grasped the Sparse Words, Natural Heart Sutra,' but in fact, I've gone against it."
"The true Power of Nature is to follow its own course; even its ultimate destruction is natural."
All fanaticism will lead to destruction.
"The Dao of Pure Cultivation is the path of balance. It is a long path that should have no end. Promoting the Dao of Pure Cultivation has no endpoint, only a process; purifying the Lotus Domain is a constant practice."
"I don't know where you come from, nor do I know who you are, but... thank you for taking up the baton."
Li Yang felt as if she had been transported to another world.
She followed Xia Changsheng's perspective and witnessed her long life.
This is a life completely different from Li Yang's.
Xia Changsheng is a true Heavenly Chosen; what others spend their entire lives praying for is within her reach.
But Li Yang is just an ordinary person, and even in the world of Star Wielders, he is someone whose talent is so poor that he shouldn't be cultivating.
Of course, because of Sister Longevity, others also felt that she was an unprecedented and unparalleled Heavenly Fortune.
But Li Yang is very self-aware.
She lacks talent and comprehension; her progress to this point in her cultivation is entirely due to "luck."
Luck is the most unpredictable thing.
Only by acknowledging that everything you have is due to luck can you avoid falling into the abyss of arrogance.
Even though Li Yang now wields so much Authority of God, she doesn't believe it's something she obtained through her own strength or ability.
She was well aware of her situation.
She always stood on the tightrope, always aware that there was an abyss beneath her feet.
Li Yang's understanding of human nature is based solely on the fact that she is an ordinary person.
She possesses all those so-called evil aspects of human nature.
Therefore, Li Yang never overestimates human nature, because she understands herself.
Under certain extreme conditions, she could also be a vicious and ruthless person.
She is more selfish than anyone else; she will be captured by greed.
So all she could do was avoid getting into that situation.
Human nature should not be challenged, but rather nurtured like a delicate flower.
When challenged, human nature can reveal its ugliest side.
But with careful nurturing, it will grow into a beautiful flower that exudes fragrance and vibrant colors.
A single thought can turn a god into a demon; this is the nature of it.
Daowu know what Li Yang had seen.
Those memories are passed down in a single instant.
Even though Li Yang knew about Daowu's past, he was unable and had no right to forgive Daowu's actions for the lives he had harmed.
Daowu's voice still echoed in Li Yang's ears, cursing her. "You will be eaten by them, and you will be abandoned by everyone!"
At this moment, Li Yang was only one step away from the once-powerful Xia Changsheng.
She seized almost all the Authority of God.
If Li Yang so desires, he can completely fill the world with humanity and become the sole "god" above the Astral Realm.
Then what?
Will she follow in Xia Changsheng's footsteps?
Li Yang put her mind at ease.
She looked coldly at Wu, adding layers of confinement to the transparent grid deep within him.
She trapped him forever in this small space, where he could neither see nor hear anything outside, and where no one else could see or hear him.
He lost everything, including Xia Changsheng.
But because of that cursed amulet, he will forever live alone in this world.
Li Yang didn't give him another glance, but turned and walked towards the deepest part of the Lotus Domain.
The Power of Chaos there was so dense it was like gushing oil; it had no form and no consciousness.
Among them may be souls like Li Yang, perhaps from the same world as Li Yang, or perhaps from other worlds adjacent to the Lotus Domain.
They were once vibrant lives, but after their deaths they were swept into Spatial Rift and then existed in the Lotus Domain in the form of Power of Chaos.
Li Yang was once a part of it, but for some reason, Lianxin awakened her consciousness, and then... she came back to life.
Why?
In Xia Changsheng's memory, she simply released her Fortune Spirit without setting any rules for choosing a host.
So, who wrote the rules?
Li Yang walked step by step into the depths of the Lotus Domain. She could sense the enormous World Tree, see its rotting roots, and its trunk that was gradually turning black.
She stood before the World Tree, but Lotus Domain no longer had the strength to utter a sound.
She watched quietly as the World Tree was being eroded.
The black area had covered half of the area, while the starlight-filled spots continued to radiate a dazzling glow.
Li Yang knew how to purify Him.
But the words Xia Changsheng left her with at the end kept echoing in her mind.
The Dao of Pure Cultivation is the way of balance.
--Promoting the Dao of Pure Cultivation has no end, only a process.
--All fanaticism will lead to destruction.
Purifying the Lotus Domain is a continuous practice.
Li Yang recalled it again and again, pondering it for a long time...
Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
"Change is the only constant..."
"Balance begins with a cycle..."
"Ultimate justice is, in fact, the greatest evil."
"The Evil Domain and the Lotus Domain... are two sides of the same coin, Yin and Yang!"
Li Yang took a deep breath, turned around, and left the World Tree that desperately needed to be purified.
The Flower of Evil endured the pain of being eroded at its petals, patiently waiting for Li Yang.
Li Yang approached him. "Let's go, back to the Evil Domain."
The Flower of Evil stood up, her eyes lighting up, and said, "It was you after all. Looks like the problem is solved!"
Chapter 254
The battle at the Greedy Wolf Transit Point has ended.
News of the defeat of the Upper Three Realms spread throughout the Astral Realm.
However, most people cannot believe it.
