If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 1480 Oh no, the grand ambition is aimed at me!

It's true that not everyone is qualified to make such a grand vow.

If one were to travel to the primordial continent at the beginning of time, and use their foresight to make a grand vow before the Dao Ancestors, could they seize the Dao Ancestors' opportunities?

Xiaoyu had some doubts before, feeling that as long as the grand ambitions made were just right, they would have some effect.

Just like when facing investors, you can boast wildly and make your PPT presentation excellent, which might attract some investment.

Now she realizes how naive she was.

She even felt that her grand ambition didn't entirely originate from her. Seeing that she was capable enough and had enough emotion, but lacked unwavering faith, God blew a strong wind towards her.

Actively help her become a dragon riding the wave, propel her to take off—let her be inspired and establish and strengthen her belief in making grand aspirations.

At this moment, the Purple Mansion has deduced more than thirty ways to "break the innate spiritual treasure marriage red rope".

The previous fifteen types were only for attacking, defending against, and avoiding attacks related to the red thread of fate.

The subsequent dozen or so methods were quickly deduced within a month, thanks to the assistance of Immortal Fu Yuan. The main method involved either disabling or stealing the red thread of fate for marriage.

This gradually touches upon the Great Dao rules represented by the innate spiritual treasures.

Every innate spiritual treasure contains the power of rules. For example, a top-tier Golden Immortal who has not severed the three corpses or merged with the Dao represents a unique Great Dao law.

The red thread of fate represents the rules of the Great Dao of Marriage, which are innate rules. It was naturally born in the world during the evolution of the universe.

Fu Yuanxianweng himself cultivated the Great Law of Destiny and comprehended a completely new law of marriage.

In short, Meng Shi Xiaoyu has accumulated a great deal of insight into the laws of the Great Dao of Marriage, and has found many flaws and shortcomings in the existing Great Dao of Marriage, thus possessing the power to evolve the Marriage Demon Tribulation.

Then came the idea of ​​giving Fu Yuanxian a great retribution, and finally he began to magically modify the red rope of marriage: he transformed the red rope belonging to Xi Juan into "the inescapable demonic marriage rope for all eternity".

Having the above prerequisites is not enough; she also needs to sense the will of Heaven.

She only possessed 0.5% of the power of the Rahu Great Dao, which was like scratching an itch through a boot—far less effective than that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. A Great Luo Golden Immortal penetrates deep into the heart of the world and masters the Three Thousand Great Daos; she could only touch the heart of the world and could only control her own Dream Erosion Demonic Dao and a portion of the Rahu Demonic Dao.

However, making a grand vow does not require completely delving into the heart of Heaven; she met the minimum threshold for making a grand vow.

With all these prerequisites in place, fate gave her a push, prompting her to make her first grand ambition in life.

As soon as she uttered her grand ambition, she immediately felt Tianxin draw closer to her. There was also a strange power, like blood from her heart, flowing from Tianxin, dripping onto her crown chakra, and entering her "demon soul."

It wasn't Grand Tutor Yu making a grand vow, it was the Dream-Eating Demon Ancestor making it.

Therefore, it was not the Immortal Yu Taishi who received the Heavenly Heart's response, but Meng Shi Xiaoyu.

That power entered her demonic soul and immediately underwent a wondrous chemical reaction with her understanding of the laws of marriage and the wisdom related to the demonic tribulations of marriage, giving birth to a completely new demonic law.

She is both the Dream-Eroding Demon Ancestor and the Marriage Demon Ancestor. The Dream-Eroding Demon Ancestor possesses the Dream-Eroding Curse, while the Marriage Demon Ancestor can unleash the "Marriage Tribulation"!
When the Demon Ancestor of Marriage was born, the power of Heaven's Heart immediately dissipated, leaving not a trace of "heart's blood" for her to do anything else.

Moreover, she had a deep-seated feeling that she owed Heaven a huge debt.

If the "divine duty" of the Marriage Demon Ancestor is not properly fulfilled, the "Marriage Demon Ancestor" will be disqualified, losing his own magic power, the demonic laws he has comprehended, and even his own demonic soul power.

"Damn it, this is even more ruthless than the business betting agreements from my past life!"

Meng Shi Xiaoyu felt resentful and regretted making such a grand, albeit absurd, wish.

Making grand vows is like asking God for investment: Look, I have enough technical skills, my skills are unparalleled in the world, I have enough strength and belief, as long as God invests some funds in advance and lets me build the factory, I will definitely let you get the promised huge profits.

God said, "I'll invest, but first, I have to check you out to see if your skills and capabilities are strong. Only if you demonstrate potential will I invest."

Secondly, every penny invested must be spent on the project itself. If you're thinking of using investors' money to buy villas or support minor celebrities, you're dreaming!

Finally, if the factory's profits don't meet the target, and the bet fails (a backlash from grand ambitions), you'll have to pay me back your future in this life and the next.

Because it is the divine being, the Pangu world itself. The profits it demands in the betting agreement are actually beneficial to the Pangu world.

In other words, Meng Shi Xiaoyu used the Marriage Curse to cause the gods who arbitrarily manipulated the marriages of all living beings with their Taoist magic to suffer the backlash of the "Marriage Calamity".

Today she only wants to punish Immortal Fu Yuan. If someone becomes "the second Immortal Fu Yuan" tomorrow, she has no interest in it and can't be bothered to care.

This won't do! We've violated the agreement with Heaven and failed to fulfill the bet; we must be punished.

A truly grand aspiration must resonate with the will of Heaven and be heard by all beings.

The Heart of Heaven is the heart of the Pangu world; when the great vow resounds through the Heart of Heaven, it resounds throughout the world. As beings who are part of this world, they will naturally feel its presence.

Even a deaf person can hear a magnificent and solemn voice resounding in their heart.

Meng Shi Xiaoyu's attempt was merely scratching the surface; she had not penetrated the heart of Heaven, nor did she possess the power or qualification to make grand vows.

The mere tribulation of marriage is like a drop of water meeting an ocean compared to the grand aspirations of the Dao Ancestors, such as Nuwa creating the human race, Laozi establishing the human way, and Yuanshi Tianzun establishing the Xuanmen Immortal Path.

Most beings in the Three Realms don't feel anything.

It's like a small factory being built in a county town. It's small to begin with and has little influence. The product it produces (the "Demon Tribulation of Marriage") has nothing to do with ordinary people, so the whole country is naturally unaware of it.

However, the establishment of this small factory has had a significant impact on the related industrial chain.

This is especially true of industries that "manipulate marriage and use marriage to bring misfortune." These industries are mature, guaranteeing profits regardless of drought or flood, and are monopolized, offering leisurely, non-competitive work opportunities—three years of work followed by thousands or even tens of thousands of years of rest.

Now that a demon capable of destroying their "spiritual Brahman life" has been born, their future will be greatly impacted. How can they be completely unaffected?
Even with his inner demons raging, Immortal Fu Yuan still heard the voice of his grand aspiration with perfect clarity.

"I am willing to transform into the 'Demon Tribulation of Marriage' to balance the cause and effect of the Great Dao of Marriage!"

This is the sound he heard.

This differs somewhat from what Meng Shi Xiaoyu said. Essentially, the contract provided by Meng Shi Xiaoyu was modified and refined by the investors to facilitate its entry into Tianxin, transforming it into a force akin to rules.

Well, the Demonic Path of Marriage has now been established, and new "Demon Rules" have been born. Since it is the power of rules, it will naturally not completely copy Meng Shi Xiaoyu's "rambling nonsense".

"Oh no! I'm going to be robbed!"

Fu Yuanxian blurted out, abruptly escaping from the "Yu Fengxian River of Fate".

After his consciousness returned to his body, he immediately closed his eyes and calmed his mind, checking his fate line as soon as possible.

"What happened? What calamity?" Taibai Xingjun asked in a daze and with a sense of panic.

"Didn't you hear? Someone has made a grand vow." Immortal Fu Yuan tried his best to remain calm, but his tone betrayed his impatience and panic.

"I think I have a feeling, but I can't hear very clearly." The dazed look on Taibai Xingjun's face dissipated somewhat.

He did have a feeling, but it wasn't as direct and clear as that of Immortal Fu Yuan, after all, he wasn't a practitioner in the marriage and love tribulation industry chain.

He's at most a consumer; he's currently selecting goods at the factory.

If he hadn't been targeted by Meng Shi Xiaoyu and become the target of the Marriage Demon Tribulation, his connection to the Grand Vow would have been even weaker.

"Someone has made a grand vow to create a 'marriage tribulation,' which gives me an ominous feeling," Fu Yuanxianweng casually replied, then focused all his attention on examining his own destiny line, completely ignoring Taibai Xingjun.

But he wanted stability, yet he couldn't have it.

"Master, the Old Man of the Moon has come to visit, saying he has urgent business!" the fairy boy called from outside.

"I won't see him!" Fu Yuanxian shouted in a muffled voice.

Just half a minute later, the fairy boy called out again, "Master, the Red Phoenix Star Lord is here to visit. Is it convenient for you?"

Fu Yuanxian instinctively wanted to refuse.

"It's Princess Longji. Why is she here at this time?" Taibai Xingjun asked in surprise.

The words "Princess Longji" brought Fu Yuanxian back to his senses: if he slighted this princess, she would definitely turn around and go to the Queen Mother of the West.

"Let the Red Phoenix Star Lord in," he said.

He wasn't afraid that Princess Longji would complain to the Queen Mother of the West.

He guessed that Princess Longji must have also heard about the grand vow, but he did not want Princess Longji to talk to the Queen Mother about the grand vow at this time.

The Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor should already have a sense of this, but certainly not as clear-sighted as the God of Marriage. Once Princess Longji reveals the truth, he will lose all room for maneuver.

To be honest, he doesn't know what to do now, but he's sure he's been tricked.

The Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor must not immediately know that they have been infected.

"Elder, may I come in, old Taoist?"

The gate opened, and Princess Longji walked in, bringing with her a faint fragrance. Old Daoist Yuehe was still peeking out from outside, calling out.

"The supervisors, come in. The other deities, wait outside. You are not allowed to go anywhere!"

Fu Yuanxian discovered that the courtyard outside the house was already filled with deities.

Hundreds!

They are all celestial deities from the Palace of Fate and the Palace of Marriage.

However, although there are many gods, there are only seven or eight "main gods".

Upon hearing Fu Yuanxianweng's words, Princess Longji slowed her pace slightly, waiting for Yuehe Daoist to enter before falling half a step behind him.

Although she is a top-tier "second-generation official" with a very prestigious status, she now works at the "company" but holds a lower position than Daoist Yuehe.

While they were in the outer courtyard, Daoist Yuehe had already greeted them. Now, without further formalities, he simply nodded slightly and quickly entered the inner hall.

Princess Longji was beside him, with Tianxi Star, Rabbit God, Longde Star, and the Two Saints of Harmony walking behind.

"Immortal, you must know that a demon has made a grand vow, right?"

Since the matter was of great importance, Daoist Yuehe did not stand on ceremony. Upon meeting him, he immediately said with a solemn expression, "The 'Marriage Tribulation' in the Great Vow seems to be specifically aimed at our Marriage Deity."

"Now that my grand ambition has been fulfilled, I am filled with unease and anxiety."

Fu Yuanxian sat cross-legged on the futon, his eyes slightly narrowed, concentrating on checking his own condition, while only devoting a small portion of his energy to dealing with the gods.

"Don't panic, that's not a grand ambition."

Hearing that Daoist Yuehe also felt uneasy, the other deities all looked alarmed, but Immortal Fuyuan was somewhat comforted: Since I am not the only one who feels great misfortune, then it should not be a conspiracy targeting only me, right?

The sky is falling down. Although it is terrible, everyone can help to hold it up. There will always be a tall person who will step up to maintain the overall situation.

A falling brick might kill one person, which is far less terrifying than the sky collapsing. But when a brick cracks someone's head, only the person in the accident bears the consequences. The tall, powerful fortune teller will simply stand by and say, "That's your fate."

"The status and power of the Grand Vow are extremely small; calling it a 'small Grand Vow' wouldn't be accurate. At most, it's a special kind of demonic curse."

Fu Yuanxian's words were 30% meant to comfort the gods, and the remaining 70% was self-comfort.

That they could all hear it was a grand vow that resonated with the will of Heaven.

“Immortal, regardless of whether the grand ambition is big or small, it makes us uneasy and will surely pose a real threat to the gods of the Marriage Bureau.”

Daoist Yuehe looked expectantly at Immortal Fuyuan, "I wonder if you, Immortal, can resolve the 'Marriage Calamity'?"

"Do you know what the 'Marriage Calamity' is?" Immortal Fu Yuan asked in return.

Daoist Yuehe hesitated and said, "It is definitely related to marriage, but everyone's feelings are different, and we cannot accurately grasp the secrets of heaven. Therefore, we have come here to seek guidance from the immortal."

—The moment this grand vision was conceived, you all came knocking. I haven't even had time to examine myself and find the root of the problem, so what instructions can I possibly give you?
Fu Yuanxian was annoyed, but he couldn't bring himself to say such pathetic things directly.

"Tell me your different feelings."

He remained calm and spoke slowly, appearing more enigmatic than usual.

It was as if he had everything under control, as if he had a plan in mind.

He was indeed a great immortal, and the gods had no doubts, so they all spoke up.

The Old Man of the Moon said, "I feel anxious and uneasy, as if a pair of evil eyes filled with ominous light are coldly staring at me from afar."

It was as if a sharp sword existed, its hilt bound by a thread as thin as a hair, hanging upside down above my head, making my scalp tingle and my heart tremble with fear, daring not to take a single wrong step.

"Just watching you from afar? Simply hanging overhead?" Fu Yuanxian's heart skipped a beat.

—Why do I feel like a terrible omen has enveloped me, as if I've fallen into a swamp?
Oh no, it's not my imagination, the grand vision is really coming for me!
