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

Chapter 707 Heaven is the law, and those who control fate will inevitably be devoured by it!
In the past, every time the Heavenly Court updated its version, even the smallest version, it would cause turmoil throughout the Three Realms.

But never before has there been such turmoil as the version of The Azure Sky!

First, the sun, moon, and stars all disappeared, plunging the entire world into darkness.

Immediately afterwards, heavy snow began to fall from the sky.

But if you look closely,
That's not snow at all!

Instead, it was ashes.

The whole world was like a burnt-out wreck, its embers falling like snow, as if to bury all living beings.

And this time,
A moldy sun and a decaying moon suddenly appeared in the sky, like two eyes illuminating the cold and gloomy world!
The light condensed in the air, transforming into an arched bridge filled with deathly light, running from west to east across the entire world.

"Wow!!!"

"Wow!!!"

Countless cries of anguish and weeping rose into the sky from the western starting point of the bridge, attracting the attention of everyone in the Three Realms.

People instinctively looked up.

Even a mortal can see it with the naked eye.

At the starting point of the Bridge of Mourning,

Countless sparrows, no bigger than the palm of a hand, were carrying an incredibly heavy bronze coffin on their backs as they moved forward!

The constant chirping of birds along the way, like weeping and lamenting, enveloped the world in an atmosphere of utmost solemnity.

Upon seeing this, Heavenly Dao 0.81 was taken aback: [That coffin...could it be the coffin of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor?]

Li Wei clenched his hands and murmured unconsciously:
The yellow birds chirp and flutter, alighting on a thorn. Who followed Duke Mu? Ziche Yanxi. This Yanxi, the most outstanding of a hundred men. Standing near his grave, we tremble with fear. Oh, cruel Heaven, you have taken my good man! If he could be redeemed, I would give a hundred lives for him.

Countless sparrows chirped and sang in the trees, as if asking who was to be buried alive with Duke Mu.

It turns out that Ziche was buried alive with the deceased.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt sorry for this talented young man, who was now to be sent to a tomb and buried alive.

Oh, heavens! You have destroyed my good people!

If Ziche could be saved, we would give up a hundred lives for him!
That Azure Heaven
Oh, Heaven!
Li Wei instinctively clenched his fists, looked sharply at the sky, and gritted his teeth, saying:

[You, Emperor Haotian! You wouldn't be...]

Ding!
Li Wei's phone suddenly rang, and he received a secret text message from Lü Yue.

[The Supreme Emperor has gone mad!]

[Just now, all of us gods, and all of us mortals, received a new version of the quest.]

[Rescue the Jade Emperor!]

If He cannot be revived before His coffin crosses the bridge of death, then He will take the entire world with Him!

Li Wei was speechless.

All I can say is that you truly are amazing, Shanghao!
As the Heavenly Emperor, he shamelessly kidnapped all living beings to threaten the gods!
To come up with such a method is truly unprecedented and likely to remain so.

Li Wei's anger surged, not only towards Shang Hao, but also towards the gods of the Heavenly Court!

What's going on with your Heavenly Court?

This isn't the first time Shang Hao has gone mad; didn't you have any preparation for his methods?

Is the Heavenly Dao version updated however He wants?

Although Lü Yue did not answer the phone, he only saw the text message sent by Li Wei, but he could still feel the endless anger in the three questions.

He was also helpless about this.

[Now the Three Pure Ones are gone, the Jade Void Palace is gone, the Inner Jade Void Palace is gone, and all the Great Luo Immortals of the Heavenly Court are gone. Only a small number of gods remain in the entire Heavenly Court to maintain a minimum level of operation!]

You should know this better than anyone, shouldn't you?

Li Wei fell silent.

Yes!

He not only knew it, but in a sense was also the culprit behind this situation.

On the front lines of Central Plains, it was He who ignited the war.

This gave the steel giant an opportunity to drag the Three Pure Ones, Yang Jian, Qingling Shila, Qinghua Dadi, Wuling Zhenla, and the Nine Saints into the great calamity in one fell swoop, and their whereabouts are still unknown.

Later, He again drew out the Heavenly Dao at Liangshan Marsh, forcing the Heavenly Army to prematurely subdue the Nine Saints of Heretic Paths and drawing out most of the Heavenly Gods.

He even personally participated in the pursuit of Maitreya by the Jade Void Palace.

If He hadn't let Maitreya go, Li Yuxu Palace might have already killed Maitreya and returned to Heaven.

So strictly speaking,

The Supreme Emperor must thank Li Wei.
If it weren't for Him, the Heavenly Court wouldn't be so empty, and Shanghao's imperial power wouldn't be left unchecked.

So this is fate?

At this moment, Li Wei felt a deep sense of awe for fate.

Heavenly Dao 0.81 understood Li Wei's feelings. Therefore, he also felt somewhat helpless at this moment, saying:

As expected, those who try to control their destiny will inevitably suffer the consequences!

[When you forcibly dragged the Supreme Emperor Haotian into this calamity, perhaps this was destined to happen.]

Even misfortune is still fortune.

It will also cause a backlash from fate.

Therefore, Li Wei does not need any divine power to assist him. The seemingly very useful "Fellow Daoist, please stay" killing move is not without its costs.

Shen Gongbao used this killer move to lure countless people into his calamity.

But at the same time, it dragged down the Shang Dynasty, destroyed the Jie Sect, and even killed the Tongtian Sect Leader, turning him into the Lingbao Tianzun among the Three Pure Ones.

Even so!
Even during the most difficult time of the Investiture of the Gods, Shen Gongbao dared not directly use the deadly move "Fellow Daoist, Please Wait" against figures like Ji Fa, Di Xin, and the Three Pure Ones. And what about Li Wei?

The first time He used it, He aimed directly at the Supreme Emperor Haotian!
In terms of status and position alone, the Supreme Emperor Haotian is at least on par with the Three Pure Ones, and may even have greater symbolic significance and influence over the overall situation.

When Shanghao enters a calamity, the backlash brought by the calamity will naturally be even greater!
Li Wei took a deep breath and, expressionless, confirmed again:
So this version update is a backlash against me, but this backlash has affected all living beings in the Three Realms?

Heavenly Dao 0.81 sighed helplessly.

Is it fate? Or destiny?

【I see.】

Looking at the calamity rolling in the sky, and connecting it with the reason why the Supreme Emperor of the Heavenly Realm entered the calamity, the Copy True Emperor finally understood the cause and effect.

He said!
Who could simultaneously orchestrate and influence so many powerful figures and forces, including Buddha, the Buddhist sect, the Heavenly Court, the Buddhist sect, the Jade Void Palace, Maitreya, Indra, and Tianfu County?
But who would have thought that this chess player would actually be a calamity of heaven and earth?
That makes sense!

The great calamity borrowed the killing move "Fellow Daoist, please stay" to manipulate fate and meticulously planned this calamity, only now revealing its true colors.

What a calculation.

They not only purged the Supreme Emperor of Heaven, but also purged all the gods and sentient beings—truly killing two birds with one stone!
If this isn't handled properly, things could drastically change. If that happens, we'll be lucky to be able to return to the original cultivation world and start a new version.

If it's more serious...
It's not impossible that the human cultivation civilization would perish and become nourishment for the next dominant force in the world.

In short, this time,
Everyone was ruined by that madman Li Wei!

Whoosh.

A terrified True Emperor flew over, his voice trembling with unease: "Senior Sister, have I caused trouble? If I hadn't killed Shang Hao just now..."

This isn't your fault!

From the day Shang Hao was struck by the phrase "Fellow Daoist, please wait," the Three Realms were destined to face such a calamity!

[If you don't kill Li Wei then, someone else will; if Li Wei doesn't kill him, someone else will. Shang Hao is destined to die here at this time and in this place!]

If anyone is to blame, it's Li Wei and the Supreme Emperor Haotian themselves.

Li Wei went mad, and Shang Haotian Emperor also went mad. Madmen against madmen, the price was that everyone was buried with them!
The thought that the entire Three Realms might perish because of this made the True Emperor feel an immense pressure on his shoulders, as heavy as mountains and seas, which could not be relieved by a few words.

[Senior Sister, what should we do? Should we rush to save Shang Hao?!]

[Don't rush! Things need to be done one step at a time. Right now, we need to retrieve the Buddha's Nirvana relics first!]

The True Emperor immediately panicked: "Senior Sister, we can obtain more relics, but what if the Three Realms are destroyed?"

【Um? 】

The Copying True Emperor gave a soft hum, and the Spreading True Emperor immediately lowered his head.

It's good that you know how to keep your head down. Your problem is that your mind wanders too quickly and you're prone to having distracting thoughts.

Don't you ever think about it?

Why did Buddha suddenly show signs of revival at this point in time, just before the great battle between good and evil?

The True Emperor was taken aback: "You mean..."

[Hehe, cause and effect, destiny and fate, if we're talking about weaving destiny, even three Buddhas can't compare to the Three Pure Ones!]

However, when it comes to the perception of the causal trajectory of fate, the Three Pure Ones are no match for the Buddha.

This Buddha probably foresaw the changes in the great calamity beforehand, which is why he rose from his state of extinction and sat up in his coffin.

If I'm not mistaken, Buddha's Nirvana this time was to save us from calamity.

After all, those who dare to manipulate fate will inevitably be devoured by it, even in the face of great calamity!

Fate is unpredictable, and cause and effect are mysterious.

While the great calamity was using the Buddha to turn against sentient beings, the Buddha was also using the great calamity to turn against himself.

The backlashes overlap, like Schrödinger's cat, and can never be fully fathomed.

But whether the outcome is good or bad depends on each person's methods at the moment it's opened!
The True Emperor of Spreading the Word gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go right now, and I will definitely bring back the Buddha's relics!"

Southern Zhongzhou.

Maitreya Buddha looked at the updated "Rescue the Heavenly Emperor" quest on his cultivation support panel and couldn't help but sigh.

[Amitabha Buddha, Shakyamuni Buddha, did you risk Nirvana for this great calamity?]

The Buddha's relics flickered slightly, as if in response.

But given your current state, if you were to directly enter the tribulation, you might never achieve Nirvana!

The Buddha's relic trembled slightly and condensed into four large characters.

May Buddha have mercy.

Maitreya was taken aback, then, after a moment of deep breath, he tightly grasped the relic with a face full of remorse:

The Buddhist community today cannot withstand a second persecution of Buddhism, nor can it afford the cost of the Buddha's passing!

If you were to perish, the Buddhist faith would instantly crumble!

So I'm sorry, I must take you back! As for the matter of saving the world, let those who are involved in worldly affairs think about that!

Maitreya raised his head and could already see the outline of the Dragon Slave Kingdom in the distance, as well as the boundless Heavenly Army.

Lu Xun, sitting amidst his ten thousand troops, was filled with excitement: "My men, do you see that! Maitreya is now just a Buddha's bone; he won't last much longer!"

If we can surround and kill the Buddha today and seize his relics, we will have achieved an unparalleled feat and completely defied fate!

【Follow me and kill them all!!】

Guan Yu, standing to the side, couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

Those Jiangdong scoundrels are as despicable as ever!

Hey,
It's a pity that this real Buddha statue was wasted.

Guan Yu stretched out his right hand and gripped the Green Dragon Crescent Blade on his back.

Today, for the sake of Heaven and for the sake of all living beings in the Three Realms,
Maitreya must die!
