Chapter 366 The Law of Causality and the Great Evolution Technique!
Demons wreak havoc on the world.

This was almost inevitable.

If Duncan were to break through the limits of this world, it would inevitably cause spatial tremors. Then, this world would be like a bubble about to burst. As soon as a crack appears, those covetous extraterrestrial demons would swarm in.

Even if no one raises the bar for this world, extraterrestrial demons will still sneak in, but in most cases they will enter one by one and not cause much damage.

This time, Duncan used the Three Corpses as bait, but in one fell swoop, over a thousand extraterrestrial demons poured in.

Although a large portion of the extraterrestrial demons were killed by Duncan, some still managed to escape in the chaos. They even abandoned the bodies they had possessed and fled as invisible demonic shadows.

"wrong!"

"Why didn't the laws of Heaven punish the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord?" Zhang Daoren calculated with his fingers, his expression full of surprise.

A celestial demon descended upon the world, bringing untold suffering to all living beings.

Logically speaking, the Great Free Heaven Demon Lord should be punished by the laws of this world, after all, he was the one who caused this great disaster. Although Zhang Daoren has lived in this world since the Northern and Southern Dynasties and has undergone tribulations and reincarnations many times as a Taoist master, he has always been careful not to cross that red line.

Logically, his plan should have entered the final stage of closing the net, but for some reason, the big fish has not fallen into the net.

Zhang Daoren even devised many contingency plans.

For example, after the Great Free Heaven Demon Lord shattered the void, he was too lazy to stay and clean up the mess, so he ascended directly. Then he came out of the mountains to clean up the chaos caused by the Heavenly Demons, and then reorganized the Taoist sects in the human world, and also conferred titles upon many Heavenly Court gods.

Take the position of Lingguan for example. In the future predicted by Zhang Daoren, there is a person surnamed Wang who will be the head of the five hundred Lingguan. He is the person who was appointed to be a deity during the Northern Song Dynasty.

The worst-case scenario is that the Great Freedom Demon Lord not only doesn't leave, but also forcibly stays in this world to fight him. In that case, Zhang Daoren will inevitably have to fight him. The other party has caused a great disaster, causing chaos in the world with the Heavenly Demons, while he has the Heavenly Secrets and destiny, so he will definitely have the upper hand and may have a chance to kill the Great Freedom Demon Lord's incarnation.

The problem now is that while there are indeed signs of chaos caused by the Heavenly Demons, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord does not have much karmic burden.

He really did cause trouble.

But for some reason, this disaster was much smaller than Zhang Daoren had anticipated.

The reason is also very simple.

Duncan used the bone pillar of the extraterrestrial demon god to refine the South Heavenly Gate, sealing the rift in this world. Then, he used the demon god's skin to create the Emperor's Banner, refining souls and spirits, and collecting the souls of the Northern Song army to transform them into Heavenly Court soldiers, guarding the South Heavenly Gate and preventing more extraterrestrial demons from descending to the mortal realm.

There are many martial arts masters in this world, and even more fierce generals in the army. After their souls are refined and blessed by the laws of heaven, it is not difficult for those heavenly soldiers to deal with ordinary extraterrestrial demons.

It's like a tap being blocked, preventing more extraterrestrial demons from descending upon the human world.

Duncan's real threat was the hundreds of extraterrestrial demons that escaped.

not good!

The great matter is over.

Zhang Daoren activated the Heavenly Secrets and instantly saw a towering gate in Yunnan, as if it were a gateway to this world. This sight made him spit out a mouthful of blood. This was originally what he had planned after ascending to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor: to gather the destiny of the human world for the next few hundred years, then to bestow titles upon the gods of the Daoist sects and establish the order of the Heavenly Court.

But Duncan has already done it.

Even though there is no Heavenly Court yet, the Southern Heavenly Gate was established, and Duncan sacrificed his own cultivation to cleave open a space and create a blessed land. This is the prototype of the Heavenly Court in the future.

This initial advantage was lost.

No matter how hard he tries in the future, the South Heavenly Gate was established by Duncan. Unless he dares to take the risk of demolishing the South Heavenly Gate and rebuilding it, who knows how many extraterrestrial demons would flood in if he did that.

"not good!"

"He also wants to bestow titles upon the Thunder God, the Lightning Goddess, and the Spirit Official!..."

Zhang Daoren's eyes traversed space and saw the Human Emperor Banner, made from the leg bone and skin of an extraterrestrial demon god. This item was a Heavenly Dao artifact, recognized by the Heavenly Lord of this world. Duncan also used the destiny of the mortal realm to refine it. Although its essence was similar to the Soul Summoning Banner, it was blessed by the status of the Human Emperor, making it no weaker than a low-end version of the Investiture of the Gods.

Duncan wanted to set up a divine artifact to restrain the gods.

It can be said that apart from a very few beings who have achieved godhood through physical means, other gods who wish to gain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao must send a wisp of their soul into the Human Emperor Banner.

"How could such a divine artifact fall into the hands of others!"

Holding the Emperor's Banner, Duncan not only collected the souls of the dead Northern Song soldiers and generals, but also absorbed the souls of the mortal gods of Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan and Chongqing, as well as many city gods, land gods and mountain gods. The more complete the divine ranks inside, the more astonishing the power of this heavenly artifact.

At that time, the position that the Taoist sect spent hundreds of years elevating him to will be suppressed by this Investiture of the Gods. Under the Three Pure Ones and the Four Emperors, all the gods will be on the list.

Why did the Great Free Heaven Demon Lord suddenly flip the table?
After calculating with his fingers, Zhang Daoren couldn't help but exclaim in exasperation, "You brat, you've ruined my grand plan!"

The situation is now completely out of his control.

Duncan's move almost pushed him to the brink. If he couldn't disrupt the opponent's strategy, the future would likely turn against him, and he would probably perish.

Jiangbei Camp.

The three corpses carried an unconscious man and respectfully threw him in front of Duncan.

Now he really didn't dare to jump.

Duncan's figure descended from the sky, holding the Emperor's Banner. Not long after, a rumbling thunder came from the horizon, and the figure of the Black Dragon appeared, holding several corpses in his hands, kneeling and prostrating himself, saying, "Your Majesty."

"The subordinates are incompetent."

"Many extraterrestrial demons escaped."

Duncan was not surprised by this, and said calmly, "It's alright."

"You have done a great job in managing the river this time."

"Would you be willing to serve in the Heavenly Court?"

The black dragon trembled with excitement and prostrated itself on the ground, saying, "I am willing to serve Your Majesty."

Duncan shook his head slightly and said, "I am not driven by them, but rather by the Heavenly Dao of this place."

“Take a wisp of divine soul.”

A phantom image of the primordial spirit appeared on the body of the black dragon, and then transformed into a stream of light and entered the Human Emperor Banner. Duncan listed its name under the South Sea Dragon King, who was in charge of the ability to control clouds and rain. Although it was a rank below the Dragon King, the Four Seas Dragon Kings had not yet been determined, so the black dragon did not have any dragon superiors above it.

When the entire Emperor's Banner is unfolded, it is completely empty, with only a few dozen names listed, far from enough.

The Way of Heaven is a system in which all the gods are subject to its laws.

Duncan had a sudden thought.

In an instant, a wisp of a Taoist's soul appeared. It was the successor of Louguan Taoism, the old Taoist who had entered the Tao realm. Duncan moved his name up a bit, placing him among the hundreds of celestial officials and spirit officials. The old Taoist's soul immediately seemed to regain some of its consciousness, and the Heavenly Dao Inscription also released a wisp of restriction, granting him some freedom.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The old Taoist priest from Louguan Temple was moved to tears and knelt down to pay his respects.

Just then, a tiger's roar came from afar.

However, the battle here attracted experts from Jingnan, one of whom, Lu Shanjun, was a master of the Shrinking Earth technique.

When Duncan held up the Emperor's Banner, a reflection immediately appeared on Lu Shanjun's body, which was the Tiger, one of the twelve zodiac animals. After a moment of contemplation, Duncan tentatively moved Lu Shanjun's position to the White Tiger position of the Four Symbols.

However, the Emperor Banner in his hand suddenly generated a repulsive force, and Lu Shanjun's name remained unmoved, indicating that his achievements and strength were insufficient to assume the position of the White Tiger God of Slaughter.

He refined this thing into a Heavenly Dao artifact, and even he himself could not change it at will.

"So many divine positions are vacant!"

“In addition to the gods that already existed, we must find a way to fill in the gaps little by little.”

Duncan needs to replenish the Emperor's Banner to at least one-third of its original value in order to maintain the normal operation of the Three Realms and Six Paths and to guard against the invasion of extraterrestrial creatures after the world is upgraded.

"The Fighting Department and the Thunder Department must be completed as soon as possible."

The Heavenly Court allows for a vast number of divine positions. The Fighting Department and the Thunder Department are the preferred choices for dealing with external enemies. However, Duncan did not truly undergo tribulations to become a god, so he did not have that many gods at his disposal. Furthermore, there are not that many enlightened masters in this world who can be included in the Investiture of the Gods.

Therefore, it is highly likely that some historical figures with merits will be selected and directly granted divine positions in the Heavenly Court.

The Fire Department, Plague Department, Wealth Department, Water Department, and Tai Sui Department, etc., can all be put aside for now.

However, because there were too many vacancies in the Heavenly Court, it gave people in later generations the opportunity to be promoted to gods, and even those who cultivated Taoism could find a way to obtain a divine position.

With so many empty seats above, they should naturally be occupied by capable and virtuous people.

"The Five Dipper Star Lords".

"Six Ding Liujia."

"Twelve Yuan Chen."

“These can all be reinstated to the Investiture of the Gods as originally planned.”

Duncan wanted to dismiss all the unorthodox Taoist gods; from now on, those not listed in the Investiture of the Gods would no longer be considered orthodox Taoist deities.

"Where are the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends?"

As Duncan finished speaking, his words became law, and one after another, illusory figures gradually appeared, exactly one hundred and eight in total. However, they had no names or specific human forms; they were the reflections of the stars in the sky. He held a celestial artifact and infused a wisp of Daoist essence into the bodies of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends. Soon, they seemed to have gained some consciousness.

"Quickly capture the escaped extraterrestrial demons," Duncan said in a deep voice.

The 108 illusory figures knelt on one knee and said, "We respectfully obey the decree!"

All thirty-six Heavenly Generals and seventy-two Earthly Fiends obtained the positions of Yin Gods and directly transformed into phantoms and flew away.

A tiger roars.

Lu Shanjun landed, gazing at the scene that resembled the earth splitting apart, utterly horrified. Looking further into the distance at Duncan, who held the Emperor's Banner, he felt an inexplicable urge to kneel. "Lu Shanjun, receive the decree!"

As soon as Duncan said this, Lu Shanjun couldn't help but kneel down on one knee and look up at the person in front of him in astonishment.

Duncan seemed so unfamiliar now, his eyes showing almost no human emotions, only a detached indifference, as if he had merged with the heavenly laws of this world.

All desires fade away.

The three corpses didn't even dare to look up at Duncan.

"The Heavenly Demon Descends."

"A great calamity is about to befall the world. You possess supernatural powers; quickly eliminate the demons and protect the righteous path!"

Lu Shanjun seemed to have understood something, revealing the appearance of a tiger, and stood up, clasped his hands and said, "I will obey the decree."

It seems that the brothers of a certain family have begun to reach the Dao.

From now on, he will lose a close friend, and thinking of this, Lu Shanjun couldn't help but show a sad expression.

At this moment, Duncan seemed to have no worldly desires in his eyes. He wanted to use the power of the laws of heaven to reshape the order of the three realms and six paths, so he had to replace human desires with the will of heaven.

The rebellion must be quelled quickly.

If these escaped extraterrestrial demons are not eliminated as soon as possible, they will only leave behind a great calamity.

Duncan glanced down at the three corpses beside him and the unconscious man he had laid on the ground, and said calmly, "Take him with you and come with me."

The three corpses looked up cautiously and asked, "Where to?"

Duncan calmly replied, "Mount Tai."

"Go and reclaim the stolen destiny."

He is at his strongest now. As his progress in merging with the Dao continues, Duncan will gradually be assimilated by the laws. Although it will not affect his original consciousness in the dimension, this human body will gradually transform into an embodiment of the laws of the Heavenly Dao.

For Duncan, having his true self's consciousness transferred into this human form was no different from having his consciousness uploaded into a body of steel devoid of emotion; many of his mortal characteristics disappeared.

He is still Duncan.

However, this human form was gradually transforming into the Heavenly Emperor - Shaohao.

Before he reached an agreement with the Heavenly Dao to share a human body, the ownership of this human body was slowly being transferred until it was completely governed by law.

So far away.

Duncan waved his hand gently, and the unconscious Zhao Kuangyin floated up. The next second, he took a step, as if traversing space, and directly brought the three corpses and this person to the top of Mount Tai.

The spatial laws of this world are already being reshaped.

Because of the expansion of the dimensional barrier, teleportation spells should appear in the future. This is a characteristic of high-level cultivation and magic planes. The expansion of the fundamental laws of space allows for the possibility of teleportation.

"You came."

Zhang Daoren seemed unsurprised by Duncan's arrival. He glanced at the three corpses beside him and the unconscious Zhao Kuangyin, then gently raised his hand. The world changed, and this place seemed to overlap with a blessed land. Duncan and his group entered a magnificent jade palace.

—Jade Emperor Daojun (eight-star gold).

If he attains the imperial throne, he will become the Jade Emperor in the future.

However, Duncan's appearance ruined everything. Now his status is limited to the Jade Emperor Daojun, and this palace, which is like a blessed land, is the Jade Emperor Daojun's Daoist temple.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"A divine realm on Earth has been detected!..."

Duncan completely ignored all these changes; if he dared to come, he must have been confident enough.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Zhao Kuangyin's figure landed on the ground, while the three corpses turned into a wisp of green smoke and entered his sea of ​​consciousness directly.

Duncan stared at the Jade Emperor Daojun before him, who was wearing a dark robe with nine dragons, blue moon boots made of silk, and a purple crystal crown. His appearance gradually overlapped with that of the Jade Emperor in the Journey to the West, but he was still a little lacking in demeanor. After all, the Daojun's status was much lower than that of the Jade Emperor.

"I thought you would come to see me on your own initiative," Duncan said calmly.

Master Zhang sighed softly and said, "I thought that the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord would leave on his own after traveling around the mortal world."

Duncan slowly shook his head, pointed to the sky, and said, "God invited me here."

Zhang Daoren's gaze was deep and he sighed, "If Your Majesty had come a hundred years later, perhaps the balance of power between us today would have been reversed."

Duncan chuckled and said, "A hundred years from now."

"When you borrow the fortune of the Song Dynasty to perform the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai and become the Jade Emperor?"

At that time, the Jade Emperor Daojun was indeed stronger, and Duncan might not even have had a chance to merge with the Dao, because the human heart had replaced the will of Heaven.

When God is personified, he becomes the Jade Emperor in Journey to the West.

Zhang Daoren still maintained his extraordinary demeanor, gazing at the human form before him, and slowly said, "I did not expect that the Great Freedom Heaven Demon Lord could also merge with this world."

"Don't you have any selfish motives?"

Duncan smiled and said, "Of course I have selfish motives, but not in this life."

It's just a human form.

If you've given it up, then you've given it up.

What if he becomes a saint in this life?

It's not like there's no next life.

Zhang Daoren continued to resist stubbornly, saying in a low voice, "If you and I were to fight, I fear this world would shatter."

"How about we divide the world into two and rule it ourselves?"

Duncan shook his head firmly with a mocking expression, saying, "How about we settle this in a different way?"

If the two of them were to go all out, they would probably shatter the void once again.

But Duncan would never agree to Zhang Daoren's proposal. In the past few hundred years, they have lost everything north of the Yellow River. If even the Heavenly Court is divided into North and South, wouldn't China become a joke?

Duncan only wants a unified team.

Zhang Daoren's eyes were deep and mysterious as he slowly asked, "How shall we decide the outcome?"

Duncan pointed to the unconscious Zhao Kuangyin beside him and said calmly, "I know you are good at the Great Derivation Number, and I happen to have a good understanding of causality as well."

"Why don't you and I use our primordial spirits to deduce the evolution of heavenly secrets?"

“Use this person as a chess piece, and the Song Dynasty as a chessboard.”

"How about a single point?"

Duncan's forceful killing of Zhang Daoren would only shatter the void. He wanted to inflict a backlash on the man before him, using the law of cause and effect to counter the Great Derivation Number.

Both of them are full of confidence in the future they see!
Zhang Daoren hesitated for only a moment, and in an instant, the stars in the palace shifted and the light flowed by. The Great Derivation Number deduced the changes in heaven and earth, and the land was full of natural treasures and outstanding people. It was as if the stars in the sky reflected the human world, just like the Qingming Scroll, reflecting a scene of extreme prosperity in the human world.

This is the future he deduced using the Great Derivation Number. He wants to see how Duncan breaks it, and how wondrous the causal law of the Great Free Heaven Demon Lord is!
Duncan's expression was compassionate, and his enormous primordial spirit reflected the law of cause and effect.

In an instant.

The peaceful scene of the world, resembling the painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival," was shattered. Clashing swords and galloping horses led to bloodshed. Duncan manipulated the law of cause and effect, directly injecting the causal evolution of the "Jingkang Incident" into the Great Derivation Number of the Jade Emperor.

puff!

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

The Jade Emperor's expression changed drastically, his face filled with disbelief as he exclaimed, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

"The Great Derivation Number could not possibly have predicted this scene!"

Duncan waved his hand expressionlessly, and the scene of the Jingkang Incident changed again. In the shattered land, the country suffered, and the people were slaughtered. In the projection of the law of cause and effect, the waves of the sea appeared, as well as a dense crowd on a high cliff. Ghosts and gods wept, and 100,000 soldiers and civilians jumped into the sea, leaving countless corpses floating.

"This must be the evil magic of the Great Freedom Demon Lord!"

Zhang Daoren still looked unconvinced, his hair and beard dancing wildly, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at everything unfolding according to the law of cause and effect, muttering, "I illuminated the human world with the myriad stars in the sky. In the next hundred years, countless heroes will be born in the Central Plains. How could we possibly suffer such a crushing defeat?"

At worst, it would be a situation of chaos and turmoil among the Five Barbarian Tribes. As long as the fate of the Central Plains is not exhausted, someone will surely come to turn the tide.

The world will perish?
How can this be?

Duncan stared expressionlessly at the Jade Emperor Daojun, whose soul was severely injured, and said calmly, "Is it true?"

"Neither you nor I have the final say."

"Only when the Heavenly Dao of this world acknowledges it does it count. Which one is the true future evolution, your Great Derivation Number or my Law of Cause and Effect? ​​Why don't you just ask the Heavenly Dao?"

boom!
At this moment, it was as if the destiny of the next few hundred years in the original history had backfired, the land of China was sinking, all living beings suffered, and all the laws of cause and effect descended. The Jade Emperor Daojun was instantly struck as if by lightning, his face turned ashen, and all his cultivation was completely backfired.

Duncan rose up with his sword and beheaded the man before him.
