Chapter 471 The Lord of Heavenly Dao at the End of the Volume
What else does he want to do!?

This is not just a question from the Lord of the Underworld.

At this moment, all beings who noticed the changes in the river of time had the same thought in their minds.

"I never overestimate my own humanity, nor do I believe that I will never change."

"Especially after going through the long years and the test of time, anything is possible for me in the future."

Li Boyang smiled and replied, letting the [Creation Jade Disc] fly into the sky from his hand.

"Moreover, I am confident that I will become the first ancient being, the first practitioner to trace back to the beginning of time."

"But time still holds so many possibilities."

"Among countless possibilities for the future, will everything really turn out as I wish?"

"So I decided to put two 'shackles' on those who come after me while you haven't caught up with me yet and while I can still maintain my original intentions."

It was as if it were a response to Li Boyang's words.

The Jade Disc of Creation in the sky suddenly surged.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, the radiant jade disc vanished into the torrent of time, disappearing completely at that point in time.

Correspondingly, the [Creation Jade Discs] at other points in time and on other timelines also disappeared into the torrent of time and merged into it.

Thus, a supreme creation spanning countless timelines and endless parallel universes was born.

boom!
Unlike other magical artifacts crafted by Li Boyang.

This [Creation Jade Disc] possesses extremely strong compatibility and is the physical manifestation of the "omnipotent wish-granting machine".

When so many, and more and more in the future, [Creation Jade Discs] enter the torrent of time, forming a massive combined force.

The river of time, which had been contained by Li Boyang, suddenly became active again.

This activity is not an unconscious accumulation of a general trend over time, but rather a more targeted will.

"From this moment on, anyone who attempts to interfere with the river of time will inevitably trigger a reaction from the 'Creation Jade Disc'."

"The longer the interference lasts and the more space and time it affects, the more 'Creation Jade Discs' will react."

Li Boyang's voice wasn't loud at the moment, but it was filled with an extraordinary sense of authority.

"Those who dictate the course of history and disrupt time and space will inevitably suffer the backlash of the same length of time."

"Those who spread the teachings to all beings and extend time and space will be favored by the 'Jade Disc of Creation'."

"The Way of Heaven is the Way of all things, the Way of all living beings, not the Way of me alone."

"From me onward, all things in heaven and earth, and all living beings, can attain enlightenment!"

With the blessing of the [Creation Jade Disc], Li Boyang's voice traveled to the past and future, spreading throughout endless time and space.

Immediately afterwards, in the eyes of all beings capable of observing the river of time, a towering [Heaven and Earth Exquisite Pagoda] appeared.

On that tower, the figure of the Heavenly Emperor Haojun was once again brought out as a "typical example".

Even at the height of his power, when he reigned supreme, even in the Heavenly Emperor's Capital that he had personally built, the Heavenly Emperor Haojun still appeared in a disheveled state.

It felt as if the whole world had rejected me...

It was as if they were undergoing judgment by heaven and earth, time and space...

But more often than not, it was powerful figures of his time who were secretly sabotaging him...

This is the backlash He suffered for trying to change His ultimate destiny.

Knowing all this, the Heavenly Emperor Haojun glared at the sky, but could only angrily abandon the idea of ​​being resurrected in the future.

This is not the first time that the Heavenly Emperor Haojun has attempted to resurrect himself in the future, and it certainly won't be the last.

I witnessed the future firsthand and saw the possibilities of endless time and space.

The Heavenly Emperor Haojun is confident that he will become the first ancient being.

Moreover, Li Boyang has now relinquished all ownership of the [Creation Jade Disc].

Then it is possible for me to become the owner of the [Creation Jade Disc] and the second Lord of Heaven.

As for the two rules that Li Boyang inscribed on the [Creation Jade Disc]?
Rules are dead, people are alive.

How could just two rules possibly restrain the strong from all eras?

Moreover, Li Boyang left a third sentence in the Jade Disc of Creation: "All living beings can attain enlightenment."

This means that manipulating the river of time is not the privilege of the Lord of Heaven, or a very small number of beings.

The Jade Disc of Creation, this supreme treasure that embodies the Dao of Heaven, also belongs to all things in Heaven and Earth.

Li Boyang never intended to use the [Creation Jade Disc] to restrict the powerful figures of different eras.

He even voluntarily relinquished his ownership of this divine artifact, allowing it to become part of the river of time.

Whether acting against the flow of time or finding loopholes to circumvent these two rules, it all aligns with the idea that "all living beings can attain enlightenment." Li Boyang did not seek eternal unity or unchanging order; he simply left two shackles for those who came after him.

The Way of Heaven is flawed, and creation is incomplete.

From the moment Li Boyang relinquished possession of the [Creation Jade Disc], the river of time, symbolizing the Heavenly Dao, opened itself to all living beings.

From then on, even if someone appeared who could dominate all ages and rule over all living beings, it would not be possible.

Unless He can perfectly control all timelines and worldlines, rebels will continue to emerge.

Whether it's fate or destiny...

The river of time is not something lofty and unattainable, but rather a fundamental attribute that constitutes all things and all living beings—just like matter, spirituality, and vital energy.

Even ordinary people with mortal bodies can glimpse the changes in the river of time through special methods and techniques.

It's easy to see but hard to change, especially when you want to go against the grain.

—The mandate of Heaven is constant; follow the way of Heaven.

Those who follow the Way receive much help, while those who stray from the Way receive little help.

—The Great Way is fifty, and Heaven evolves to forty-nine.

Fate is not absolute; even if one aspect is omitted, it is still destiny.

The only drawback to doing this was that Li Boyang voluntarily delegated the authority over time.

This makes the seemingly lofty ability of "time manipulation" a common ability accessible to all living beings.

Li Boyang's idea was also very simple: since in the future, "mechanisms" will replace "numerical values" as the mainstream.

Then everyone should become a monster of the system!

Just like when we promoted the method of divination in the Hundred Mountains.

Li Boyang was eager to see what possibilities a world where everyone could calculate the past and future with a simple calculation would evolve into.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Go and become one of the earliest beings! I will be waiting for you at the end of the river of time!

With undisguised anticipation, Li Boyang's voice reached the Red Serpent's ears.

However, the Red Serpent had no time to worry about much else.

They were also unaware that not everyone could hear this sound.

Only those beings who have initially transcended the river of time can hear Li Boyang's last words.

"Did you see it too?"

Just then, Meng Zhang, who had transformed back into human form, appeared beside the Red Serpent.

At this moment, the [Heaven and Earth Exquisite Pagoda] is gradually disappearing, and the spatial-temporal disorder and the strange phenomenon of the celestial dog eating the sun are no longer present.

Everything seemed to have returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

But Lord Mengzhang clearly remembered that among the countless possibilities of the future reflected in the [Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda], his own figure appeared in more than one of them.

Or more precisely, they were the guardians known as the "Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth" after Li Boyang and the Lord of the Underworld perished together.

Meng Zhang Shenjun is just one of the Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth, specifically the Azure Dragon of the East.

"Yes, I'll be in those futures too..."

Startled by Meng Zhang Shenjun's words, the Red Serpent blinked with a complicated expression.

Unlike the many futures and possibilities arising from the birth of the Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth.

Among those countless futures, the Red Serpent saw only a few timelines that were related to itself.

In those timelines, the Red Serpent is no longer the Red Serpent, but is regarded as a great deity who embodies day and night, blows as winter and exhales as summer.

The red serpent vaguely remembered that those creatures struggling in death and darkness called it "Candle Dragon".

God knows what actually happened on those timelines.

The Red Serpent only knew that the Candle Dragon used the essence of fire to illuminate the entire world, and was the only torch and light in that world.

After seeing those possibilities, the Red Serpent even felt that if the price of becoming a Great God was plunging the world into endless death and darkness, he would rather never become a Great God.

Don't worry about those future possibilities; they're just that—possibilities.

Seemingly sensing the Red Serpent's conflicted and complex emotions, the usually stern and unsmiling Lord Mengzhang broke into a rare smile.

"At the very least, our world now definitely has an infinitely bright future."
