I, the primordial ancestor, started out as a useless cult and a useless saint.

Chapter 316: The Law? Footprint?

Houtu nodded and said:

"That's right. The power of magic will only bring you infinitely closer to the Heavenly Dao Realm, but without stepping into the Heavenly Dao Realm, you're still just an ant. If you want to step into the Heavenly Dao Realm, the first thing is your background."

"really."

Ye Yang knew that when Houtu's physical body achieved the Chaos Spiritual Treasure grade, he knew that the foundation was very important.

Most creatures in the primordial world acquired their nature later in life, while those born under the influence of heaven and earth were born with their innate nature.

For example, the Three Pure Ones, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Emperor Jun, and Emperor Taiyi, etc.

Above the innate foundation is the foundation of demons and gods, such as the three thousand demons of chaos, and now the ancestral witch Houtu is the foundation of a demon and god.

To reach the Dao Ancestor realm, one must at least have innate talent, but the chances are extremely slim. Unless one has a great stroke of luck, one can forget about it in this lifetime.

Of course, it's not difficult to reach the level of a demon god or a Dao ancestor, but reaching the level of a Heavenly Dao is extremely difficult.

Because besides the fit, there's one more thing needed.

That is the law.

However, the power of laws is too difficult to find. Three thousand demon gods interpret three thousand great paths, which are three thousand laws.

However, after the great calamity of creation, all the laws of nature except for Pangu were dissolved.

If it weren't for Ye Yang's help, how could Hou Tu have obtained the Law of Power?

Now that Houtu has these conditions, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she has a chance to reach the Heavenly Dao Realm.

It's a pity for Hongjun, he was controlled by the Heavenly Dao, even though he was a demon god and possessed his own power of law.

But so what? As long as he doesn't break free from the control of the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun will never be able to step into the Heavenly Dao Realm and transcend himself.

This is why Hongjun insisted on obtaining the fortune of the human race.

However, these are just the most basic requirements; having these only means you have a chance.

After hearing Houtu's introduction, Ye Yang felt extremely sad, realizing that he was merely born with a special innate advantage.

The greatest achievement is only at the Dao Ancestor realm. To achieve something higher, one must improve one's foundation.

But how can this be improved? Through reincarnation?

Even if one is reincarnated, that is based on one's innate foundation, unless one was born before the creation of the world.

Or perhaps one is a descendant of a chaotic demon god.

However, it is obvious that this is impossible.

Of course, the above are just the most basic; what is more important is the method of transcendence.

Ye Yang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

There is always a glimmer of hope in everything. Even if he was born with a disadvantageous background, Ye Yang firmly believed that there would be a way.

Just as the Tongtian Sect Leader founded the Jie Sect, he cut off the last thread of life in the world.

Suddenly, Ye Yang also realized that within the original Primordial God Conferment route.

Why did all the saints and Hongjun want to harm the Jie Sect?

It's likely because the word "intercept" used by the Tongtian Sect Leader was so terrifying that, for the Tongtian Sect Leader himself, it was a permanent escape route.

For the Heavenly Dao, this is an eternal bug. No matter how tightly you seal it, if you cut off the last thread of life in the world, there's nothing you can do.

If the Jie Sect is not destroyed, the Heavenly Way will be difficult to maintain.

Or, if the Jie Sect is not destroyed, the Heavenly Dao will be uneasy. What if the Tongtian Sect Master really transcends?

However, the primordial world has changed. The Tongtian Sect Leader has opened his own window by utilizing the teachings of the Jie Sect.

"Ancestor of Humanity, the Heavenly Dao tells us that if we want to transcend, we must cultivate the power of the laws; without the laws, we cannot transcend."

"There are countless paths to the Great Dao, but only by comprehending the power of the laws oneself can one truly transcend them; otherwise, one will forever remain at the level of a Dao Ancestor."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yang let out an awkward laugh.

"Easier said than done. The power of laws is not so simple. At most, the myriad minor paths can only reach the Heavenly Dao realm. To transcend it is extremely difficult unless one obtains the Three Thousand Great Daos, but..."

The three thousand Great Daos each have their own lineage, all born from chaos; I, however, do not have that destiny.

The Master of Heaven nodded and said:

"That's right, how easy is it to comprehend the Dao? What use are the myriad minor paths? But comprehending the three thousand great Daos is extremely difficult."

Houtu nodded and looked at Ye Yang, saying:

"Ancestor of Humanity, do you remember when I said I sensed my destined enemy?"

"I remember, so what?"

Houtu chuckled and said:

"The Three Thousand Great Daos, within the entire scope of the Great Dao's control, only one of the same Dao principles can appear at the same time."

Wow!

Ye Yang's computer crashed instantly.

"Wait, do you mean you've also sensed another being cultivating the same laws as you?"

Houtu nodded.

"That's right, only one of us can survive; that's fate."

Ye Yang was dumbfounded; this was too cruel.

Suddenly, Ye Yang sensed that his future path was extremely dangerous.

"Wouldn't that mean certain death? We're only at the Dao Ancestor level. How difficult is it for us to comprehend the Three Thousand Laws? Even if we did comprehend them, we wouldn't be a match for our destined enemy."

When cultivating the power of laws, it doesn't matter how much magical power you have, but rather how well you apply the power of laws.

Moreover, the stronger one's cultivation of the power of laws, the stronger the connection between destiny becomes, and under such circumstances, once they meet...

He was certain to die.

Those who can comprehend the power of laws, which one didn't begin comprehending it in the chaotic era? How could someone like me, who entered the field halfway through, possibly defeat them?

It can be said that you have been given a path to the top, but there is a huge pit in front of the path that you cannot cross.

Or perhaps, this is just a pie in the sky that the Great Dao is painting for you.

"Does that mean we're doomed to lose?"

With a wry smile, I wondered, are there any other options?

"Yes, we are in a difficult situation."

The Tongtian Sect Leader sighed, and Houtu was also feeling somewhat stifled.

However, compared to Ye Yang, they were considered lucky.

The Tongtian Sect Leader, through a fortuitous encounter, embarked on the path of swordsmanship, while Houtu inherited the bloodline of Pangu and comprehended the law of power.

So what about myself?

I asked myself the same question again, murmuring to myself.

"Am I destined to only reach the Dao Ancestor realm?"

"Not necessarily."

Suddenly, Houtu's words gave Ye Yang hope. Houtu said:

"You can find a chaotic world that has not yet been broken and become one of the three thousand demon gods in it, but the chance is extremely slim. Without the cultivation of the Heavenly Dao realm, it is impossible to succeed."

Holy crap, isn't this just saying nothing? If I really had the strength of the Heavenly Dao Realm, I would have comprehended the laws long ago.

"Then there's only the second option left."

"What road?"

Ye Yang suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Houtu, only to hear Houtu slowly say:

"Possession".

Clang—

Ye Yang was stunned on the spot.

"Cough cough, possession? Possessing whom? You? Or him?"

"Ancestor of Humanity, it's not like that. Forget about the Three Thousand Chaos Demons. If you encounter a Chaos Beast, you might be able to possess one or two of its bodies."

puff--.

Ye Yang had a suicidal urge.

Possessing the body of a chaotic behemoth? Did he have a death wish? Or did he think he should just hang himself? He was annihilated by that terrifying pressure before he even got close.

Isn't that just a waste of time?

"Isn't there a third way?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader and Houtu shook their heads; indeed, there was no third way.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Ye Yang suddenly stood up and said:

"It must be that Heaven didn't tell you."

Ye Yang believed that as long as it was the right path, there was a glimmer of hope; otherwise, how could the Jie Sect have been established?

"Let's go find the Heavenly Dao and get some answers. I don't believe it, otherwise I'll lead the human race to overthrow the Heavenly Dao."
