Under One Person, Golden Light Transforms into God

Zhang Huaidan grew increasingly confused, after all, he wasn't a True Lord. He stopped thinking and asked, "What else do you know?"

Hengyue shook her head: "Grandpa Ao once told me that devouring is the instinct of the world."

Zhang Huaidan's gaze was solemn.

This simple sentence may reveal something about the essence of things.

However, he could not fully agree with it unless it came from the mouth of the True Lord.

It is clear that nurturing is the world's instinct.

Humans eat pork, pigs eat grass and trees, and grass and trees grow because of the soil and sunlight; all of them are nurtured by the world.

Zhang Huaidan's mind was a bit confused: "Can you just tell me directly why it's abnormal for Zhenjun Cave Heaven to disintegrate hundreds of thousands of times in a few hundred years?"

Hengyue closed her eyes: "Because the world only has instinct, it can only passively devour. Even if Grandpa Ao perished five hundred years ago, in those five hundred years, the vast cave heavens that spanned thousands of miles should still have been mostly destroyed by the main world's passive devouring. Zhang Huaidan, the main world's rate of devouring cave heavens is abnormal, do you understand?"

For some reason, Zhang Huaidan felt a chill run down her spine: "So?"

Hengyue clenched her fists: "The main world has given birth to the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao!"

Zhang Huaidan wondered if she had misheard!

"Heavenly Way!?"

This.

It's so ridiculous!
Putting aside how outrageous it is, you have to understand that this is the Dharma-ending Age!

Is it possible for the world in the Dharma-ending Age to give birth to the Heavenly Dao?
Hengyue frowned: "This is what Grandpa Ao told me. The Devouring Cave Heaven is a secret that involves the root of the world. If something unusual happens, one explanation is that it will give birth to the Heavenly Dao."

Zhang Huaidan's scalp tingled: "Stop, I think we should go back first and see if there's anything useful among the relics left by Senior Dragon Lord."

Hengyue spread her hands: "Actually, I also think it's pretty ridiculous. Even Grandpa Ao has never seen or experienced the Heavenly Dao."

Zhang Huaidan couldn't help but roll her eyes, and the two went back.

Let's set aside such nonsense as the Way of Heaven; the decay of rare and precious materials and divine weapons is no longer perplexing.

Because of the fall of the cave, the main world's absorption speed has accelerated, and all the matter existing in it will be invisibly stripped away. The most direct manifestation of this is that the stored natural treasures wither and die, and the divine weapons rust.

This is no longer a matter of human effort.

Rather, it is the immense power of heaven and earth.

Zhang Huaidan sighed softly: "Even when the Dragon King was alive, he probably never imagined such a change would happen."

Originally, the rare and precious materials and divine weapons left behind by the Dragon King could have been preserved for a thousand years without any problem, but little did they know that human calculations could not keep up with the will of Heaven.

Even a true lord has limitations.

Hengyue responded sullenly, and the two walked past the bone jade platforms where weapons and armor were placed. It is worth mentioning that some of the bone jade platforms were completely empty.

Zhang Huaidan joked, "If it weren't for the huge commotion at the entrance, I would have believed you if you said we'd been robbed."

Hengyue smiled as well. Most of the items on these bone jade platforms were made of relatively fragile materials, and not even a speck of dust remained.

They passed through another bone and jade platform where elixirs were placed.

Zhang Huaidan wouldn't recognize any of those bottles.

But one can only imagine the breathtaking radiance they emitted when they were first refined.

Alas, it has now turned into stubborn mud!

The Dragon Lord had prepared everything, but neither Hengyue nor he was able to enjoy it.

After that, Zhang Huaidan simply stopped observing, lest it disturb his peace of mind. It wasn't that his Dao resolve was weak; it was simply that this True Lord's Treasury contained far too many wonderful things!

Any item that is in perfect condition can be considered a stroke of luck.

Having finally traversed one invaluable treasure after another, now reduced to rotten bones and jade platforms, Zhang Huaidan felt a sense of relief.

Hengyue keenly noticed and patted his thigh in an old-fashioned manner: "Kid, your cultivation is not up to par."

Zhang Huaidan was slightly taken aback, only to see Hengyue remain calm: "You seem to take it all in stride."

Such a treasure trove, yet returning empty-handed after a visit—no one could remain at ease in that situation.

Hengyue raised her eyebrows: "They're just external things. Did you cultivate to your current level by consuming rare and precious herbs and pills?"

Zhang Huaidan smiled and said, "I've learned a lot. I didn't realize that someone as small as you could have such a mindset."

Hengyue became even more smug: "So in the days to come, you should learn more from this old woman."

Zhang Huaidan nodded repeatedly, while Hengyue's lips curled up higher and higher!
Zhang Huaidan coughed lightly: "Great Goddess Hengyue, I think you are the kind of great demon immortal who doesn't care about worldly possessions and has achieved everything you have today step by step!"

Hengyue smiled broadly: "It's good that you know."

Zhang Huaidan casually pointed: "So you must despise and resist external things. I am not as good as you, so I can only reluctantly accept that thing."

Unbeknownst to us, we had already reached the end.

Unlike the previous expanse, at the end, only two bone jade platforms stood quietly.

On one of the photos, something is vaguely visible.

It was clearly only a dozen meters away; anyone with even slightly normal eyesight could see it clearly.

But no matter how Zhang Huaidan looked at it, even using his supernatural ability of "fiery eyes," he couldn't see what it was.

No need to elaborate, that was the Dragon King's last legacy!

Even though the cave was devoured, its divine power remained undiminished!
Hengyue blinked, then instantly bristled, transforming into a snow-white fox. She leaped onto Zhang Huaidan, tearing at his clothes with sharp teeth: "Bastard, don't even think about it!"

The fox roared and cursed, "Grandpa Ao left me so many things, and they're all rotten! I'm so worried! And now you want to take the last thing from me?! Don't you have any conscience?!"

Zhang Huaidan casually grabbed the back of her neck, a half-smile on his face: "Didn't you say you didn't care about material possessions?"

The little fox turned its head away, not wanting to speak.

The True Lord's Treasure Trove, if missed, has nothing to do with whether one's Daoist heart is firm or not.

Hengyue's true colors were revealed at this moment, and thinking back to her pretense just now, it was truly amusing. On the contrary, Zhang Huaidan was more indifferent than her.

He put her on the ground: "Let's see what it is first."

Hengyue rushed off, but Zhang Huaidan was in no hurry and slowly walked to the Bone Jade Platform.

In an instant, a rich aura of jade essence and gold essence wafted over.

It seems that these two items are related to gold and jade.

As for the other bone jade platforms, they had long since been exhausted and burned out in the face of the world's devouring power.

The last two bone jade platforms still exhibit such strange phenomena; one can only wonder how much effort the Dragon Lord must have put into them back then.

I'm afraid that all the other items in the True Lord's Treasury combined wouldn't be as good as either of these two.

Zhang Huaidan finally saw it clearly and was astonished: "This is... a stone!"

One table was empty, nothing special; on the other, however, lay a stone the size of an egg, unremarkable in any way. (End of Chapter)
