If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 1113 The Strongest Creation
The calamity of the saints brought unprecedented damage to the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao recovered much faster than any previous calamity, and the mortal world quickly turned this past into legend.

For the celestial beings and gods, this calamity has just passed. Every day, celestial beings and gods are demoted, and every day, new celestial beings ascend to heaven.

On this day, inside the Lingxiao Palace.

Emperor Hongyang stood on the throne, looking at the aged Heavenly Emperor with a furrowed brow.

Before the sages arrived, the Heavenly Emperor had said that he would not be able to protect the Holy Realm. Therefore, Emperor Hongyang had always been concerned about the Heavenly Emperor. Upon seeing him today, his heart was immediately heavy.

What he worried about most happened.

The Heavenly Emperor looked at the Son of Heaven, Hongyang, and smiled, saying, "You don't need to worry. I am only suffering from a damaged heart, not from death. I will be able to guard the Heavenly Court for many more eras. I have come to you today not to entrust my son to someone else, but because I have a plan to discuss with you. The Heavenly Dao will be very powerful in the future, and the Heavenly Court will have more authority. I need your help to share the burden."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Hongyang breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "I am not interested in power. Why don't you cultivate the other imperial brothers, Father?"

The struggles within the Heavenly Court have always been a long-standing topic. Emperor Hongyang has heard many stories of how countless emperors fought tooth and nail for the throne, with only one emperor in each generation able to become the Heavenly Emperor—a cruel reality.

Emperor Hongyang was not interested in the throne; what he wanted to pursue was his own cultivation.

Since the end of the Saint's Catastrophe, he has had an inexplicable feeling. He feels more free, yet more insecure. This feeling of gain and loss makes him eager to become stronger, and he has no mind to care about anything else.

"Don't rush. After becoming a saint, you will open up a Dao space. The so-called Dao space is the Heavenly Dao, which is chaos. Sooner or later you will need to observe all living beings. If you keep in seclusion, you will only get stuck in a bottleneck. It is crucial to accumulate insights as soon as possible. When you need to accumulate them, your perspective and thoughts will be completely different. You will not be trapped by your own actions."

The Heavenly Emperor spoke earnestly, expressing his genuine high expectations for Emperor Hongyang.

Although it was his scheme to make this son the emperor, after so many years together, they had developed a genuine father-son bond.

Upon hearing his words, Emperor Hongyang raised an eyebrow and asked, "Really?"

The Heavenly Emperor said irritably, "Why would I lie to you?"

For some reason, seeing the Heavenly Emperor's expression, Emperor Hongyang was actually quite pleased, which proved that their father-son relationship was different from that of other emperors.

He really liked it when the Heavenly Emperor showed some genuine emotions in front of him.

“Alright, I’ll do it then,” Emperor Hongyang replied.

The Heavenly Emperor smiled and then began to explain his plan.

Emperor Hongyang listened attentively, but as he heard the rest, his expression changed drastically. He looked at the Heavenly Emperor in shock, never expecting the Heavenly Emperor to have such great ambitions.

……

At dawn, Gu An was taking a walk along the river, with the Great Xuan Yin Ruler following closely behind.

Will the Heavenly Dao devour Chaos?

Gu An smiled at the question from the Great Xuan Yin Ruler, but he did not stop walking.

"The Heavenly Emperor does indeed have such ambitions, but he cannot do it. When Chaos allowed the Heavenly Dao to exist for so many years, the relationship between the two was no longer hostile. The previous calamity was just the Dao Lord's willful act, which had exceeded the laws of the Great Dao's evolution."

Gu An answered softly, his eyes already seeing the chaos of the future.

The Great Profound Yin Ruler had seen a certain pattern, which was why he asked this question: "Is Chaos evolving into a creation different from the Dao Universe?"

"Yes, the future Chaos will surpass the Dao Universe and be compatible with more Dao Universes. As the number of Dao Universes increases, Chaos will continue to grow stronger. Of course, the stronger Chaos becomes, the stronger its protection of the Dao Universe will be. In the future, Chaos can become the stage for sages."

As Gu An spoke, he looked at the small river beside him and saw a carp following him, occasionally blowing bubbles onto the surface of the river.

He casually waved his hand at the carp, and the carp stopped, its scales shimmering with seven-colored light. The Great Profound Yin Ruler was already used to Gu An's casual use of creation, and he asked, "If this continues, aren't you afraid that the Dao Lord will use the creation of chaos to surpass the Saint realm and threaten you?"

Gu An smiled and said, "Instead of thinking about suppressing the enemy, you should think about improving yourself. Chaos is indeed evolving towards a greater destiny, but do you know where the strongest destiny lies?"

"Where?"

"In the beginningless realm."

Gu An's answer silenced the Great Xuan Yin Ruler. He didn't think Gu An was exaggerating; he was just curious about what Gu An had done to have the confidence to watch Chaos grow stronger.

He suddenly wanted to go and see the Boundless Realm.

Just then, Qingfeng ran out of the woods ahead and cried out urgently, "Master, something terrible has happened! Senior Hongqian has been captured by a monster!"

Before Gu An could react, the Great Xuan Yin Ruler couldn't help but laugh.

The already saintly Ancestor Hongqian would not encounter any danger in the Chaos. It is obvious from this that Ancestor Hongqian is too playful.

"Let them take him if they want, it would be best to eat him!" the Great Xuan Yin Ruler said with a smile.

Gu An smiled meaningfully and said, "You can try to calculate it and see if you can figure it out."

Upon hearing this, the Great Xuan Yin Ruler was puzzled. Wasn't it normal that he couldn't fathom the fate of the fellow saint, the Ancestor Hong Qian?
Although confused, he did as instructed.

His expression changed slightly.

Although he couldn't calculate the cause and effect of Ancestor Hongqian, he sensed another sage's cause and effect intertwined with Ancestor Hongqian.

Has a sage entered the chaos?
The Great Xuan Yin Ruler tensed up. Although Ancestor Hong Qian had just entered the Saint Realm, he would not let a Saint control him. Moreover, he had not heard a sound at all.

Could it be that the capture of Ancestor Hongqian without anyone noticing is another terrifying being comparable to the Dao Lord?

“The commotion earlier was indeed quite large. Dozens of saints gathered together would inevitably disturb some ancient beings. Since this guy is curious, let’s go and take a look.”

Gu Anyun smiled calmly, then turned and walked towards Qingfeng.

Upon seeing this, Qingfeng quickly led the way.

The Great Xuan Yin Sovereign transmitted his voice and asked, "Master, how does the being who captured Hong Qian compare to the Dao Lord?"

Gu An replied, "It's slightly inferior, but the difference isn't too great."

Upon hearing this, the Great Xuan Yin Ruler was both surprised and relieved.

The Dao Lord's power was unforgettable; he never imagined there would be a second saint as terrifying as the Dao Lord.

Fortunately, as long as the opponent's cultivation level does not exceed that of the Dao Master, they will definitely not be a match for the Master.

at the same time.

In a mountain cave hundreds of miles away, Ancestor Hongqian was entangled by a giant white python and could not move. He gritted his teeth and trembled all over, showing no trace of saintly demeanor.

He looked at the woman in white with her back to him and asked, "Who are you, and why are you here?"

He was terrified. He was a saint, yet he was being suppressed to the point of having no power to resist. This made him feel extremely frustrated.
