Chapter 870 The Romance Fades Away

"In the end, our plan failed."

"You are the one who has truly succeeded on this path."

"Humanity has passed down its traditions for generations, with countless geniuses and prodigies embarking on the cultivation path we have planned. Even the various demon races are multiplying and expanding their armies generation after generation."

"Hundreds of thousands of years have passed."

"I have not seen any changes in the extraordinary radiation and radiance of this world."

"To be honest, the scale of the sacred realms and ancestral temples that your human race and demon race have spread across the boundless star sea is even greater than that of the eighteen Dao Lotus flying saucers that we modified in ancient times."

"But in the end, the massive consumption is useless, the life and death of living beings is useless, and the passage of time is also useless."

"Until you step from the mortal world into the boundless sea of ​​stars."

"Then, unexpectedly, they discovered a creature in the same realm as the outer and inner landscapes, and the collapse storm that was born during the process of its physical and spiritual disintegration."

"With the power of your individual life and death, you drew upon the convergence of the forces of heaven and earth, and with the power of creation of heaven and earth, you finally washed away the radiant glow from the source of extraordinary power!"

"Thinking about it carefully, perhaps this is the most correct approach—"

"Although the inheritance of the Dao Lotus World, which spans thousands of years, is not detailed in this aspect, some secrets are actually hidden between the lines on the surface."

"Such an unexpected 'whale fall,' a mixture of luck and misfortune, often means that the era in which the variables were just born cannot directly restore the world to the level of the Great Thousand Worlds."

"Instead, we need to start from the distortions to restore everything and make energy and foundation fully abundant."

"Then, as this era comes to an end, through the process of the birth and death of heaven and earth, and the re-refinement of earth, fire, water, and wind, the calamities brought by radiation can be eradicated."

"We are trying to seize the opportunity to return to the world at the wrong time."

"This is a helpless truth that we have lamented more than once through the understanding gained from the inheritance of the Dao Lotus World."

"But at that time, we only recognized the surface of things and were far from understanding the secret essence hidden in the helpless reality."

"Therefore, consumption itself is useless, the creation of living beings is useless, and the passage of time is also useless."

"The power of creation in the cycle of birth and death, the power of heaven and earth, is the true solution!"

"That is the only solution!"

"You used the collapse storm brewed from the destruction of the bodies and spirits of living beings to draw upon the power of heaven and earth, which is equivalent to simulating a small part of the power of creation that cleanses the world as it is reborn and rebuilt."

"And that is why the radiation glow that had been like a stubborn stain for so long was finally able to disappear."

"A thin layer of paper separates us, and hundreds of thousands of years of time have been wasted between our two races..."

"What enviable talent!"

"The true fortune that your entire human race lost over hundreds and thousands of years, which we once misled, has finally been superimposed on you in this era the moment you stood out!"

"A prodigious talent and incredible ability along the way have combined to create such a miracle!"

"Sometimes I even think..."

"Perhaps this is retribution for what we did in the past!"

"If we hadn't secretly altered the direction and framework of your original Daoist practice, you wouldn't have been able to lead generation after generation of geniuses and prodigies down this twisted path of cultivation, yet it has had little impact on the fate of your human race."

"On the contrary, once you make progress and achieve something on this twisted path of cultivation, you will accumulate some good fortune out of thin air."

"Such a destiny hangs in the balance for hundreds or thousands of years, waiting for a truly incredible genius to emerge, and then this situation becomes unstoppable."

"As the founder of the Human Yuan Golden Core cultivation method, Lin Laogui has always been able to stand at the peak of the Inner Realm, spanning hundreds of thousands of years of ancient history. We should have thought of this long ago."

"Unfortunately, the way of destiny is formless and without appearance. By the time people discover it, it is already too late."

“If in ancient times, you were allowed to follow your original path freely.”

"Perhaps you are able to find a more open path for cultivation, but for hundreds and thousands of years, your cultivation direction has always instinctively avoided extraordinary radiation and evil factors."

"When this accumulation reaches its end, the constraints on your path may far exceed the existing framework of Taoist practices we have devised for you."

"It always seems to be the same principle. Your cultivation methods, which originated from nothing and were born from ignorance, certainly conform to your own nature. But in terms of refinement and profundity, how can they compare to the unbroken lineage of our ancient Daoist traditions?"

"At that time, the fortune of your human race will increase or decrease with each generation. When another amazing genius like you emerges, no matter how talented someone is, it will be a regrettable situation where their supernatural powers cannot overcome fate."

"Every sip and every bite is a twist of fate, a reversal of cause and effect..."

"Alas... it's all useless to lament about fate today."

When Su Yuan's words were filled with all sorts of missed possibilities from the past years.

His tone, brimming with the vicissitudes of life, was filled with endless sighs at the cruel tricks of fate.

And the other side.

Yue Hanzhang shook his head with mixed feelings.

Su Yuan's narration was not long, but in his words full of vicissitudes, he had already explained all the secrets and essence of the long years, the grudges and grievances of the past hundred and thousand years, and the cause and effect behind all the bloodshed.

To be honest, things have come to this point.

It was already a lose-lose situation for both sides.

All the schemes of the various Lotus Palaces that spanned the entire ancient history of the Extraordinary Era have failed one after another.

The Dao Alliance's human race, a race originally born of nature, was also considered to have deviated from the path of immortal cultivation that was in line with their nature when they first touched the primordial transcendence.

Until this moment, until he stood out from the crowd, until the entire golden age of the Dao Alliance clan began.

Until the fate of the human race, which had been suspended for hundreds and thousands of years, finally descended in this era and truly favored the human race.

Everything is destined, no one can help.

With such feelings.

Yue Hanzhang turned his head back to look at Su Garden.

"Let's get back to the present. All of you from the Lotus Palace, or the remnants of the Lotus World, have been 99% killed by me in the past using a special method."

"You are probably the last surviving member of the Dao Lotus World in this world."

"You used these secrets to exchange for the chance to continue living, but if you are the only one living, it does not mean that the remnants of Daolian still exist."

"Do you have any ideas about what to do next?"

Such a question still contained Yue Hanzhang's probing.

Although Su Yuan had made a vow to uphold the laws of the Great Dao, Yue Hanzhang, who possessed a vast amount of supreme merit among all the myriad laws, understood all too well the limitations of the vow itself. Within the framework of the rules, such a Dao vow possessed truly irreversible power.

But the key is precisely to stay within the framework of the rules.

If one is determined, there are indeed ways to pry open the seemingly meticulous and comprehensive framework of the oath, and find the cracks between the lines of the oath, after paying a certain price.

To truly confirm the "harmlessness" of Su Garden, the rules and framework of the Dao Oath alone are not enough. Yue Hanzhang needs to understand that there are some more intangible and formless chains that can bind and restrain Su Garden.

For example, the existence of more people of the same race.

Upon hearing Yue Hanzhang's question, Su Yuan's expression of reminiscing about the past and her sighs of regret suddenly intensified.

"You single-handedly killed 99% of them?"

"That's actually not true."

"The remnants of Daolian are the remnants of Daolian, and the people of Zhuse Lianfu are the people of Zhuse Lianfu. After hundreds and thousands of years, these have actually become two different things."

"A single yin cannot produce anything, nor can a single yang grow."

“We use the secret method of the Dream Soul Path to sever the remains of the physical body and transform into a new form of soul. For a short time, we can still be intelligent and free. However, as time goes by, the erosion of time will directly affect the true spirit of the soul that is no longer protected by the physical body.”

"Over a long period of time, far too many of our former true compatriots have been blinded to the truth."

"To simply vanish into thin air is already the least tragic way to end this story."

"The frequent comings and goings from the world, and the birth of the Gu-raising Bureau of the Zhuse Lotus Palace, were in essence a bloody Shura field where we, the remnants of the Dao Lotus, slaughtered each other!"

"To serve the masses while living alone!"

"In order to prevent such frequent Gu-breeding schemes from becoming pure internal strife, we created the secret methods of the Zhuse Lianfu (Various Lotus Palaces) to secretly bewitch your human cultivators, and also to sever their physical remains and secretly transform their souls into new divine souls."

"The true descendants of Daolian had already died one after another during that long process."

"The power of time to erode is so subtle, yet so irreversible."

"We have always viewed the various Lotus Palace members thereafter, including the so-called evil cultivators of the Holy Cult, with an extremely complex mindset."

"Even in the mutual devouring within the various Gu-raising schemes, many beings eventually became so distinct that even we ourselves could no longer distinguish whether they or we were more descendants of the Dao Lotus or natives of this extraordinary world."

"That's why, when I discovered your secret technique of remotely killing all the members of the Lotus Palace, I didn't make a move against you at that moment."

"The threat posed by Lin Laogui and Zhu Neijing Daojun stationed outside the domain is one aspect."

"This extremely complex psychological emotion is also another aspect."

"Perhaps a long time ago, I no longer wanted to maintain the so-called structure of the Lotus Palace and wanted to get rid of these huge, bloated and rotten so-called 'comrades'."

"The boundary between life and death should not be blurred or manipulated so excessively."

“Some true comrades, true compatriots, have already perished in my eyes after one poison-breeding scheme after another. So a person’s death should be a complete burial, where the body and soul are annihilated and disappear into the natural world.”

"Instead of being treated as a resource, it should become part of the bizarre and grotesque essence of someone whose identity is unclear and ambiguous."

"It was your intervention that made me decide to do something I had wanted to do but was hesitant about."

"What you killed were the current members of the Zhuse Lianfu, not the true descendants of the Dao Lian."

"At the moment they died, I even felt a sense of relief."

"Again."

"cost!"

"All of this is the price we have to pay for everything we did and the initial decisions we made after we mistakenly entered this world and touched that bloody rain called Creation!"

"As for how you've exchanged my life for this secret today, how should I proceed from here on out..."

"These eighteen modified Dao Lian flying saucers are no longer capable of traversing the wasteland of the Chaos Seashore, but the power cabin of the nineteenth Dao Lian flying saucer, which is hovering in the true depths of the starry sky, was not severely damaged in the past."

"Over the years, I have been lying low in the depths of outer space, repairing the power cabin of that Dao Lotus flying saucer bit by bit."

"later……"

"Fortunately, the passage of time has not eroded my mind and memory too much."

"I will pilot the Dao Lotus flying saucer and follow the path we once took when we wandered the desolate shores of the Chaos Sea to rediscover the Dao Lotus world."

"More than a hundred Dao Lotus flying saucers cannot contain all the living beings of this lifetime. When we chose to 'jump ship' back then, we only took away the cultivators of the cultivation world at that time."

"The vast majority of ordinary people, the masses, are still thriving in the Dao Lotus World, where all the resources of immortality have been taken away and directly degraded into a world devoid of spiritual energy."

"They may have forgotten the existence of the Immortal Path, and forgotten the glory of the Dao Lotus World as a great world."

"But these ordinary people, these mortals, are, in my eyes, the true descendants of the Dao Lotus!"

“What we took from the Dao Lotus World years ago, I have decided to return to it all.”

"The roots and seeds of all kinds of resources for immortality."

"And those myriad laws and principles, which are also imprinted in my mind and have not been completely eroded by the passage of time, that resonate with the nature of the remnants of the Dao Lotus!"

"I will re-establish the Dao and spread the Dharma, so that it may flourish in the Lotus World!"

"and."

"Through hundreds and thousands of years of time, I have experienced ups and downs in this extraordinary world. The vicissitudes of time that I have endured are not all suffering and torment."

"It was through these experiences over the past hundred thousand years that I gained insight into the Great Dao Laws that only the Primordial Celestial Venerable could touch."

"The method of refining the Dao is transformed into the law, which confirms that one's own Dao is constantly rotating and not easily changed."

"Independent and unchanging, circulating without ceasing."

"Therefore, one attains the eternal wonder of form and spirit, and the constant and unchanging principles of the Dao!"

"Although it is not as amazing as your 'Destruction' Great Dao Law, King Lingye, 'Corrosion' and 'Devouring' are the epitome of the struggles of my Dao Lotus descendants for hundreds and thousands of years."

"But once I leave this world and break free from the source of extraordinary power and its radiant glow, there may be other solutions to the shackles on my path ahead."

“At that time, I might not be unable to try to glimpse the Dao fruit of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.”

"At that time, there will be no need to search for the world, no need to search for variables."

"My very existence is the supreme variable and creation itself for the Dao Lotus World to return to the Great Thousand World!"
