It turns out, they were the main characters.

Tang Sufei's heart was filled with despair, and she could only watch helplessly as that hand slowly reached out towards her.

However, at that moment, someone reached out and grabbed Tiandao's wrist.

The oppressive feeling that had been so strong that it was hard to breathe seemed to disappear in that instant.

Tang Sufei barely moved her delicate neck and subconsciously looked behind her.

It is Mu Zhi'an.

The Enlightenment Realm is already among the top in strength in the Nine Provinces, but even a Dao Integration Realm expert is under the control of the Heavenly Dao.

No one could even entertain the thought of defying the will of Heaven, let alone launch an attack against her.

But he stopped the Heavenly Dao, and even directly touched the true form of the Heavenly Dao...?

Tang Sufei's eyes flickered, her face filled with astonishment and disbelief.

The Heavenly Dao didn't seem to mind this disrespectful act, and simply smiled and said, "Do you still remember me?"

Her smile was bright and cheerful, and her voice was sweet and endearing, making people feel an instant sense of warmth and friendliness.

But the moment his eyes met hers, which were like glass, he felt a sudden flutter in his heart.

And a deep sense of awe.

Because there was absolutely no emotion in those eyes, as if they were staring into an abyss, unfathomable.

At least when Tang Sufei saw Tiandao's eyes, she couldn't help but feel a deep-seated fear, so much so that she couldn't even begin to think about the amount of information contained in the words Tiandao had just said to Mu Zhian.

Mu Zhian fell silent, then nodded slightly: "I remember some."

"Even though I've completely forgotten my past memories because of the blocked secrets, you still remember me? I'm so happy!"

With a gentle smile, the spiritual energy beneath her feet lifted her feet, and her smile was bright and captivating. Her innate warmth seemed unique in the world, utterly enchanting.

Even Mu Zhian's gaze lingered on her face for a long time.

He had never seen such a charming woman.

That kind of charm cannot be described with words like 'beautiful' or 'touching'.

Mu Zhian had seen far too many stunningly beautiful women.

They were all very beautiful, but in Mu Zhian's eyes, none of them were as captivating as the Heavenly Dao before him.

It wasn't because of her beauty, but because living beings naturally feel a sense of closeness to the Dao, an innate affinity.

"Then would you be willing to leave here with me?" she continued to ask, her voice like a soft whisper, echoing in Mu Zhi'an's ears.

That soft, sweet voice seemed to possess an indescribable magic, causing Mu Zhian's eyes to slowly widen and appear to lose their light slightly.

Mu Zhian reached out and grasped Tiandao's soft little hand. Under her gentle gaze and sweet words, she seemed to gradually give up thinking.

Then, he was about to kneel down on one knee.

This is only natural. In the Nine Provinces, any living being is just a child in the face of the Heavenly Dao, and should naturally be in awe and submit to her.

However, before that, Tiandao took Mu Zhian's hand and gently lifted him up.

Her tone was full of tenderness and affection: "You don't need to perform such a grand ceremony."

"Shall we go?"

Before the sound had even faded completely, the two figures had vanished from sight.

Only then did Tang Sufei collapse to the ground, her face as pale as paper, and cold sweat had already seeped from her forehead.

It was only then that she realized just how vast the gap was between humans and the Way of Heaven.

It was an insurmountable chasm, like the distance between heaven and earth.

Even if one spends a lifetime trying, one can never get close to the Dao.

……

A rift suddenly appeared in space, and the Heavenly Dao brought Mu Zhi'an to the center of the World Sea.

Almost immediately upon seeing this familiar figure, the eyes of the Forbidden Lords changed.

"Mu Zhian?!"

The Eternal Lord and several other ancient beings who were eager for Mu Zhi'an's death all wore expressions of wild joy.

The moment the Heavenly Dao descended, it immediately captured Mu Zhi'an, leaving him no room to resist!

"I never thought you'd end up like this."

The Lord of Lingxu couldn't help but sneer, his eyes filled with intense killing intent as he looked at Mu Zhian.

It can be said that the current situation in Kyushu is almost entirely caused by Mu Zhi'an. If Mu Zhi'an's innate furnaces had not allowed powerful Dao-merging beings to ascend to immortality one after another, they would not have been able to risk removing the shield of the heavenly secrets and inviting the Heavenly Dao to descend.

At this moment, seeing Mu Zhian being taken out of the World Sea God Temple by the Heavenly Dao, the eyes of the several Forbidden Lords were filled with hostility.

As the killing intent seemed to gradually spread across the World Sea, Mu Zhi's eyes flickered slightly, already prepared to make a move at any moment.

"I've heard them say that the current situation in Kyushu is entirely your doing."

However, at this moment, a soft and magnetic laugh suddenly rang out. Tiandao slightly raised his eyelids, and his voice seemed to contain a deep affection.

"Don't you have anything to explain?"

What else is there to explain? Just kill this brat and eliminate any future troubles... The Eternal Lord's eyes flashed, filled with coldness.

However, just as he was about to make a move, he heard the clearly audible voice of the Heavenly Dao in his ear.

"If I'm not mistaken, the current disorder in the rules of the Nine Provinces is also your doing..."

"Mulang~?"

The atmosphere seemed to freeze in that instant.

The Eternal Lord's body tensed abruptly, and the expressions of the other Forbidden Lords also changed drastically as they stared intently at the two before them.

Chapter 645 The Heavenly Dao, the Forbidden Lords are all so fierce!

The entire sea was plunged into a deathly silence.

Originally, after seeing the true form of the Heavenly Dao manifest, the Forbidden Lords all wore confident smiles.

However, at this moment, that smile froze completely on his face.

The Lord of Eternity stared blankly, while Mu Zhi stared wide-eyed at the Heavenly Dao in astonishment, even wondering if there was something wrong with her ears.

Isis also looked surprised. Long ago, when Mu Zhi'an told her not to stop the descent of the Heavenly Dao, but to cooperate with the forbidden masters, she knew that Mu Zhi'an must have some backup plan.

But at that time, she never expected that he had no backup plan... because from the very beginning, he didn't need to prepare any backup plans.

The Heavenly Dao they summoned was Mu Zhi'an's backup plan!

For a moment, the expressions on the faces of the Forbidden Lords froze, and it wasn't until an unknown amount of time later that they seemed to snap out of their daze.

Their faces were replaced by astonishment, shock, and even disbelief.

"What...what did you just say?"

After a long period of stunned silence, the Lord of Eternity finally couldn't help but speak.

He wondered if he was hallucinating, as the name 'Mulang' coming from the mouth of the Heavenly Dao felt incredibly surreal.

The Heavenly Dao, representing the supreme authority of all living beings... called a living being a title similar to 'husband'?

The Lord of Order looked at Mu Zhi'an with suspicion and uncertainty, wondering what kind of bewitching potion this guy had given to the Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, the Lord of Eternity pointed directly at Mu Zhi'an and said, "Mu Zhi'an, although I don't know exactly what you did to deceive the Heavenly Dao, you have indeed affected the rules of heaven and earth. Do you dare to admit that?!"

"If you admit it, then you should obediently accept the purification of Heaven!"

He found it hard to accept that after all his hard work and the immense expenditure of his life essence to summon the true form of the Heavenly Dao, this was the outcome.

No matter what, Mu Zhian must die!

Tiandao smiled and looked at Mu Zhian, but saw a troubled look on his face. He said in a low voice, "It is indeed I who have affected the rules of Kyushu."

"Those cultivators who ascended to immortality only appeared because of my help."

"But there are reasons for all of that... However, no matter how you explain it, what's done is done, and I have nothing to say about it."

Mu Zhian looked at the woman in the black dress, lowered his head slightly, and said softly, "Whether you want to punish me or whatever, I can accept it, after all, I was the one who broke the rules first."

But as he finished speaking, the hand holding Tiandao's soft little hand tightened its grip slightly.

Even such a simple movement caused the Heavenly Dao's heart to tremble slightly, and the spiritual energy beneath its feet seemed to become somewhat disordered.

The 'humanity' that Heaven possesses was bestowed upon it by Mu Zhi'an, so she naturally has no pity for others.

But Mu Zhian's every move, even every word he utters, will be noticed by the Heavenly Dao.

So much so that when he showed such an uneasy expression at this moment, Tiandao's heart almost melted.

A smile graced her calm face, and her gentle yet unyielding tone said, "Breaking the rules doesn't mean they need to be severely punished. If everyone who breaks the rules were to be severely punished, there probably wouldn't be many living beings left in the Nine Provinces."

These words were clearly biased towards Mu Zhi'an. The Lord of Eternity was furious when he heard this. He was furious but dared not show his anger. He said sincerely, "Mother, this child has violated the rules of heaven and earth beyond your imagination... He has even corrupted the will of heaven and earth for his own use."

"The will of Heaven..."

This time, Tiandao's gaze finally met Mu Zhian's directly. She had a sweet smile on her face, but that smile seemed to have no warmth at all.

"My will cannot be corrupted, but there are always exceptions."

Her fair and slender hands gently touched Mu Zhi'an's face, her fingertips slowly moving along his face, from his neck to his collarbone, and then to his chest, gently drawing circles on his chest with a tingling, ticklish sensation.

"You must have used the spiritual energy of the innate furnace to corrupt 'my' will, right, Mu Lang?" She raised her eyes and looked into Mu Zhi'an's eyes with a smile.

The scene was eerie no matter how you looked at it: a collection of the wills of all living beings, yet at this moment it resembled a woman, calling a young cultivator "Mulang".

...She even knows how to act cute.

At this moment, the expressions of the Forbidden Lords were rather unpleasant.

Mu Zhi and the others did this because they thought that the Heavenly Dao might become their 'opponent' in the future.

The other forbidden masters, however, vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

The scene before them was not quite what they had initially imagined.

Logically, Heaven should intervene now to suppress all unrest, reset the Nine Provinces, and allow forbidden rules to override the rules of Heaven and Earth.
