Chapter 839: All Heavenly Emperors Have the Same Origin
"Your Majesty's method is indeed mysterious. He was able to bypass the constraints of the Three Immortals and bring my power back."

Chu Tai's answer made the Emperor nod his head. Ever since Chu Tai could not be contacted, he suspected that Chu Tai had been expelled or even imprisoned somewhere.

Therefore, he took out the previously canonized deity as a guide.

The Emperor of Heaven smiled and said, "The power of the Three Immortals has created stability in the current period of time. They are the highest level beings in our realm. But precisely because they are the core of order, they are unable to unlock the limitations of their own power."

"Just as I cannot resist fate, because my power is also part of it."

“Although your godhood is nominal and you didn’t receive it at the time, I directly added a seal to your Dao Fruit. The mysterious connection still exists. This is a fact that even the Three Immortals cannot deny. You can naturally use this as a springboard to interfere in the mortal world again.”

At this point, the Emperor of Heaven was somewhat curious and asked, "But I am more curious about why you were banned by the three Immortal Venerables. If I am not mistaken, your Dao Fruit is very close to that of the Immortal Venerable Daode, and you are more likely to be favored by the Immortal Venerable Tongtian. Although the Immortal Venerable Yuanshi rejects you, as long as you have a slight tendency to be good, he will definitely protect you. What did you do to make the three of them work together to ban you?"

"First of all, I am not banned. I have stepped out of the current time period and am waiting for the opportunity to go to the next time period. What they are doing is just to prevent me from stepping into the current time period again and directly interfering with the future."

Chu Tai first explained his condition, and then answered the Emperor's question: "As for why this happened, it's just that I didn't make a choice."

"That's no wonder."

The Emperor of Heaven instantly understood the Three Immortals’ thoughts. He was one of the few people who knew Chu Tai’s Dao Fruit best in the current period.

The choice of [Taiyi] Dao Fruit is open to all living beings. Everyone has the right to make their own choice. Chu Tai will not interfere, nor does he think he has the right to use [Taiyi] Dao Fruit to interfere, but Chu Tai himself has the right to choose.

This state is somewhat similar to the state of the Xiantian Daojun.

The many innate Tao Lords are the source of all acquired phenomena.

For example, if there is an innate water god who is in charge of water, then all acquired phenomena related to water, even the concept of tangible and intangible flow can be regarded as flowing from this Taoist god.

However, within the acquired universe, due to the overlap and influence of many concepts, the powers of many Dao Lords are intertwined, making the concept of water a part of the universe and something shared by all living beings (many Dao Lords).

In this case, although the Xiantian Water God is still the source of all water phenomena, he no longer has absolute control over water.

To put it more clearly, he can decide where the water gathers and where there is no water, but he can no longer modify the concept of water at will. In other words, he has the power to use and manipulate it, but has lost the power to redefine it.

The same is true for Chu Tai's [Taiyi] Dao Fruit. Its nature determines that once he interferes with sentient beings, he will no longer give them choices, but control their fate.

Therefore, he will not interfere with the choices of all beings and can only observe the world from the perspective of an almost bystander.

But the interesting thing is that Chu Tai is also one of the living beings and he also has the right to choose.

Even because he is the creator and master of the Taiyi Dao Fruit, he can manipulate the Taiyi Dao Fruit and interfere with the choices of all living beings.

At this time, the interference of [Taiyi] Dao Fruit is not the influence of Dao Fruit itself on sentient beings, but the influence of Chu Tai on sentient beings.

To put it bluntly, the Taiyi Dao Fruit gives all living beings absolute right to choose, but Chu Tai can force all living beings to make their choices.

This contradictory state made Chu Tai very unstable. Without his interference, the Tao fruit of Taiyi would give all things the free will to choose freely, but once he got involved, he would be a dictator who controlled everything. This contradictory and unified state, everything depended on his morality and mood. How could the Three Immortals let him wander around during the rise of the calamity? Naturally, they would drive him out as soon as possible.

Chu Tai, who also understood the Three Immortals' concerns, asked back, "So, you still plan to continue to help me so that I can interfere in the human world?"

"Your previous actions have proven that you will not interfere with the existence of the human world at will. Your moral bottom line is trustworthy."

After saying this, the Emperor looked into the void and said, "Besides, the three immortals have been trying for many years, but they have not been able to push our time period towards a better future. Obviously, they have exhausted all possibilities. At this time, it is very necessary to introduce new variables."

"Even if everything ends up in the worst possible outcome, it's just a one-time thing. You can't continue to interfere with our choices in the next cycle."

Hearing this, Chu Tai smiled and said, "I observe the changes in the principles between heaven and earth, and the movement of spiritual rhyme. It is not like what you said, fellow Daoist. I can feel that your time period is recording the traces of my Dao fruit. I am afraid that my concept will still be here in the next cycle."

"But you will not stay here any longer. Your concept should be further split and transformed into one or more ancient gods or new gods, just like the other fellow Taoists."

As he spoke, the Emperor of Heaven looked in the direction of the Great Tai Chi of the West and the Great Ziwei of the North Pole. Chu Tai also looked in that direction. With the help of the power of the godhood and the Emperor of Heaven, he was surprised to find that the power of these two people was actually of the same origin as the Emperor of Heaven.

Slightly surprised, when he looked at the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen Mother again, he found that they actually came from the same origin.

"You...are actually derived from the same god."

Chu Tai was stopped by the Emperor before he could finish the second half of his words: "Some things are better known by yourself. I was not aware of this information before. It is your power that allowed me to see this information, so I am very optimistic about the influence you can bring."

"Also, don't think that we are completely gods. Some of them are actually the products of the influence of other forces. I differentiated them only to suppress their changes."

"If you fail this time, or leave, the power you leave behind, the ancient gods and new gods that have been differentiated, may also have the same origin as me..."

The flames flickered. Chu Tai, who was outside the sky, looked at the flickering sparks on the Kunlun Golden Lamp in his palm and interrupted the Emperor of Heaven, saying, "The three Immortal Lords seem to have noticed something. Let's do this for now. I'll take cover first."

As he spoke, the light in the nine-colored glazed lamp dimmed, and his body took a half step back, coincidentally avoiding the falling sword light and the golden bridge across the sky.

Then the lights came on again and continued to observe the world.

The three immortals who were within the time period looked toward the sky at the same time. Their powerful wills intertwined in the void, causing golden lotus and bodhi to emerge above the sacred mountain, and the shadows of thirty-three heavens to appear in the heavenly palace.

As for the human world, immortal light and divine light rose in some areas, but were quickly suppressed by the power of the Three Immortals and were clearly detected by them.

In the end, the will of the three, under the leadership of the Immortal Master Yuanshi, forcibly broke through the seal of Lingshan Mountain and the Heavenly Palace, sweeping across the Heavenly Palace and Lingshan Mountain inside and outside, leaving Jie Yin and Zhunti looking livid.

In the Heavenly Palace, the Queen Mother was furious. She stood up and was about to do something, but was stopped by the Emperor of Heaven.

"Don't provoke him. Yuanshi Immortal Venerable is the most dangerous at this moment."
