My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 401 Dividing Zhen Yuanzi! Only you yourselves can save you!

Although the Heavenly Court has suppressed Zhen Yuanzi's weaknesses, it still will not send anyone to kill him personally.

Because it's too dangerous.

No one knows what other tricks Zhen Yuanzi has up his sleeve. If one of them were to be taken away by him before his death, it would be an unbearable loss for the Heavenly Court!
Moreover, the script of fate had already been written, and Zhen Yuanzi's fate was already bound to the ginseng fruit tree.

So all Li Wei needs to do is cut down that fruit tree, and everything will be over. Why send someone else on a risky mission?

So after the Heavenly Emperor gave the order, all the gods of the Heavenly Court and the evil demons all looked at Li Wei, wanting to witness him felling the ginseng fruit tree!
Tread!

Li Wei walked to the ginseng fruit tree.

As one of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, this tree possesses an extremely vigorous body, and the changes it experiences each year accumulate the five elements' annual rings.
Each growth ring contains the primordial power of the five elements.

Countless annual rings have accumulated to form a defense comparable to a supreme Dao weapon, and the ginseng fruit tree itself is the main material for refining a supreme Dao weapon!

Therefore, even some deities who have reached the second or third step of the Dao Integration stage may not be able to break through the defenses of this fruit tree and cut it down!
But it's a pity.

In order to force the fruit tree to grow prematurely, Zhen Yuanzi had already disrupted the balance of the five elements within the ginseng fruit, rendering this ancient, accumulated defense useless.

What happened yesterday, is what happens today.

That vigorous and immortal spiritual root is now extremely weak, no longer possessing its former strength.

Li Wei grasped the ancient tree. Although it was still somewhat difficult, he had indeed gained the ability to topple the fruit tree!

but.
But he couldn't ignore those pleading eyes!
Those 100,000 children hanging on the treetops, once skinned, had their scarlet flesh as bright as red fruit peels.
Their pain brought tears to their eyes, but they uttered eerie, bell-like laughter.

They looked at Li Wei with bitter smiles and pleading expressions, as if to say...
Big brother!
Can you please save us?

I don't want to die!!
Li Wei fell silent, unable to press his palm down. Finally, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the gods filling the sky, asking, "Is there any way to save them?"

Brush brush!
The gazes of the gods in Heaven immediately narrowed, as if they had foreseen the occurrence of a change in the situation.

At this point, Li Wei only needed to exert a little more force to knock down the fruit tree, but he stopped at this crucial moment.
Now that the fog of fate has been lifted, although the ginseng fruit tree is still within the realm of fate, it has reappeared, giving Zhen Yuanzi the possibility of influencing fate and breaking free from it.

So delay may lead to unforeseen changes!

A hint of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor, but there was also a trace of relief!
Just now, all the gods, including Him, were only thinking about killing Zhen Yuanzi as soon as possible, but only Li Wei still remembered these children.

Unbeknownst to me, have I already become a clay or wooden sculpture, devoid of joy or sorrow?

The Heavenly Emperor Shang Hao felt a chill run down his spine, and he felt a sense of fear about being in such a heavenly court!
Therefore, He was very pleased to have someone like Li Wei!

But sadly, those children are beyond saving.

The Supreme Emperor sighed, saying, "From the moment they were connected to the Ginseng Fruit Tree, these children became part of the tree."

Moreover, under the influence of the Three Pure Ones' Laws of Fate, the fates of these children are already bound to the fruit tree, and there's no way to break free.

It's not that it's impossible to resolve, it's that it cannot be resolved!

If the Three Pure Ones can untangle the fate entanglement on the ginseng fruit, then Zhen Yuanzi's fate will also be untangled, and it will not be so easy to kill him then.

Therefore, these 100,000 children must die!!
Li Wei understood this principle, but he felt as if he couldn't breathe and was unable to move.

Zhen Yuanzi, who had already fallen into despair, was overjoyed upon seeing this!

Unexpectedly!

I never imagined that the Heavenly Court would have such a useless person!

Sanqing, Sanqing, you probably didn't expect Li Wei to want to save people, did you?

Thinking of this, Zhen Yuanzi intensified his efforts to break free from the shackles of fate imposed on the Three Pure Ones in secret, while continuing to sway Li Wei with his words.

[Li Wei!! You want to save these children, don't you? Hahaha, the gods won't let you save them!]

But I can save them!

If you're willing to let me go, I can spare these 100,000 children, allowing them to return home and start a new, fulfilling life!

"and then?"

Li Wei suddenly raised his head, his eyes as deep as an abyss, and said, "Then you'll let you live, capture another 100,000 children, and skin them alive and put them on trees?"

If killing one person could save ten thousand, what would you choose?

If killing these 100,000 children could save 100,000 or even millions of children in the future, what would you choose?

Li Wei has made up his mind!

Then he raised his head and looked deeply at the dying children, saying, "The gods in the heavens cannot save you, nor can I. Only you yourselves can save you!!"

The children didn't understand what Li Wei was saying, so they suddenly opened their eyes wide and felt an overwhelming fear.

boom! ! !
His burning anger transformed into power that soared into the sky.

For the third and final time, Li Wei borrowed the power of Sun Buwu, the second incarnation of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. He transformed into a jet-black monkey, carrying boundless power as he gripped the ginseng fruit tree.

【No! ! ! 】

Zhen Yuanzi suddenly let out a scream, unleashing all his power in an attempt to stop Li Wei.

But the gods of Heaven, and even the nine heretical saints, exerted their power simultaneously, suppressing His laws and loopholes, and firmly controlling the five suns of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Boom!
A terrifying explosion came from the earth, and boundless demonic power soared into the sky. The roots of the ginseng fruit tree overturned and emerged, creating a terrifying scene as if the sky had collapsed.

"Wake me up!!"

Boom! !

The ginseng fruit tree collapsed.

The five suns of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which were suspended in the void, were extinguished in an instant. The Wuzhuang Temple, which remained in the vast chaos, completely collapsed and was annihilated. Zhen Yuanzi's physical body and soul instantly fell into oblivion.

Then something terrifying happened!

The celestial beings, the demons and heretics—all beings hailed as gods—rushed out like wild beasts, frantically devouring Zhen Yuanzi's body.
Whether it was Venus, the Four Emperors, or the Nine Saints, everyone was like hyenas, devouring the corpse.

No one cares about Li Wei anymore. Even the Supreme Emperor and the Three Pure Ones have lowered themselves and are constantly trying to exclude other gods in order to get a better place to eat.

Seeing that everyone was already attracted by Zhen Yuanzi's corpse, the Heavenly Dao 0.91 system quickly crawled into the ginseng fruit tree.

Although the existence of the Three Pure Ones and the constraints of fate prevent the Heavenly Dao from directly and recklessly cutting down and taking away the Ginseng Fruit Tree, it can absorb the essence of the Ginseng Fruit Tree without attracting anyone's attention!
Even if the Three Pure Ones were to piece together the "corpse of the ginseng fruit tree," they wouldn't be able to find any problems.

However, what truly worries the Heavenly Dao 0.91 system is Li Wei!
……

When the roots of the ginseng fruit tree collapsed, the children hanging on the tree suddenly became incredibly resentful and hateful. They didn't care about Zhen Yuanzi's death, nor did they care about the gods of Heaven devouring Zhen Yuanzi; they just stared intently at Li Wei!

"Why, why did you kill us?"
"We just want to live!"

"What's wrong with that?!"

Even after being skinned and placed on trees, suffering countless pains, they still wanted to live.

In the darkness, the resentment of these 100,000 children combined with the venomous hatred from when the ginseng fruit tree collapsed and died, forming an extremely terrifying curse that enveloped Li Wei and instantly set his body ablaze.

That is—karmic fire formed from a curse!

The Monkey King, who was devouring Zhen Yuanzi, paused upon seeing this scene, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes: "It really does look alike!"

Just like what He experienced.

He was also cursed for knocking over the ginseng fruit, but the curse came only from the ginseng fruit itself.

This time, Li Wei is also suffering from the resentment of 100,000 children in the curse. Is this really something he can bear?

really!

In that terrifying karmic fire, Li Wei felt a pain far deeper than that of a trillion-dollar loan, and couldn't help but let out a shrill scream!

But he doesn't regret it!
Because some things always need to be done by someone!
Trembling uncontrollably, Li Wei, bathed in the torment of karmic fire, raised his head and gazed deeply at the children, repeating once more: "I've said it before!! Only you yourselves can save you!"

What you say is what you do!!!
Li Wei is using the power of the gods to change the world!
Although he established his own pantheon, he never succeeded in ascending to heaven, so he shouldn't have had divine power.

unless
Snapped!
Li Wei snapped his fingers, activating the Lesser Hell of the Life-Cleansing Cult.

He then poured all the power he had “absorbed” from the corpse of Qingfeng Mingyue and the will of Zhen Yuanzi into his own hell without reservation!

All the gods in the sky couldn't help but turn around in surprise.

It should be noted that the divine power within Li Wei's body contains a portion of Zhen Yuanzi's essence!

If he were to be kept, it might allow him to directly enter the second step of the Dao Integration stage after ascension, achieving the Yang God or Earth Immortal realm!
But now this guy is using it to save these useless kids?

Is it worth it?
Moreover, as the saying goes, "a little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment." If you help them like this, will they really be grateful to you?
Li Wei doesn't need to be grateful!
“I can give them a way to live, but whether they can live or not is up to them.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Wei, whose strength had been completely drained, rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot.

boom! ! ! !

The gates of the underworld burst open, and the power of the laws of the six paths of reincarnation spread out, enveloping the ginseng fruit tree and the children.

Their venomous expressions froze for a moment, then, as if they had seen heaven, they scrambled to their feet in ecstasy and dragged their rotting bodies toward the underworld.

But the branches and leaves of the ginseng fruit tree are still connected to their umbilical cords, and these umbilical cords contain the destiny of the Three Pure Ones, so as soon as they climbed out, they were pulled back by the umbilical cords!
Hope turned into despair!

The children began to curse Li Wei with even more venomous hatred, even though Li Wei had exhausted everything to save them and had fainted, they still hated him!
"Why, even after going to such lengths, can't you still help us?"

"Damn bastard! Why can't you be stronger! We were so close, so close! If I die, I'll make sure you're wiped out with me!"

"Waaaaah! Let us get out of here, I want to be reincarnated!"

boom,
The karmic fire burning on Li Wei burned even more fiercely.

It looked like the children were about to curse him to death.

A sigh suddenly came from the small hell of the Washing Life Orthodox Sect, and then Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, dressed in moon-white monk's robes, appeared beside Li Wei, clasped his hands together, and let out a sigh:
For ordinary people, self-salvation is ultimately not as good as being saved!

[Benefactor Li Wei, it's a pity that all your good intentions have only earned you deeper resentment. Even if these children are reincarnated in the future, they will have to go to hell first.]

but,

You finally made it through!
Who would have thought that there would be such compassion in the Heavenly Court?
It seems this child is indeed destined to be with Buddha!
