Having lost the Heavenly Dao authority within the Tianyun Empire, unleashing two consecutive annihilation sword strikes seems to be the Dao Ancestor's current limit.
After defeating Yulia once again, Daozu had no choice but to unleash the Divine Firmament True Thunder and Samadhi True Fire again to clash with the spells of the other allied forces.
A few minutes later, when the Dao Ancestor was able to unleash the Annihilation Sword again, Theresa Scarlet Moon, who had just been completely annihilated, had already revived out of thin air by relying on her newly generated divine power. At the same time, Yulia also replenished her body's consumption by drinking the Panacea and also returned to her best condition.
They ignored all of Dao Zu's other attacks, focusing intently on each of his annihilation sword strikes, ensuring that the sword wouldn't strike any of the other allied powerhouses.
As long as they are not hit by the Sword of Annihilation, the allied forces' strongmen have nothing to fear.
Although they were no match for Dao Ancestor, they were often killed by Dao Ancestor's sword energy, struck by Divine Firmament True Thunder, burned to death by Samadhi True Fire, torn apart by Limitless Gale, and strangled by Weak Water's torrents during their magical exchanges.
However, each time they died, these powerful allied warriors were able to quickly resurrect at the resurrection point and return to the summit of Yunshan Mountain to rejoin the battle.
The battle rhythm seemed to have stabilized, and all that was left was to wait...
Ok?
Just as a thought popped into Yulia's mind, she saw the Dao Ancestor suddenly stop his continuous magical attacks and no longer use the Annihilation Sword.
The Dao Ancestor still did not open her eyes, and was in a sleepwalking-like state, which meant that her main consciousness was not currently in her body.
But the Dao Ancestor spoke, his voice exactly the same as Lian's, only unlike Lian's flirtatious and alluring tone, it was more like Linglan's emotionless voice:
"Follow the laws of Heaven and Earth, by imperial decree!"
Upon hearing Dao Zu's words, all the powerful allied warriors who had been unable to sense the fluctuations of Dao Zu's power froze... At this moment, they finally sensed Dao Zu's power through their perception, like small fish that had always lived in a pond finally seeing the ocean.
It's a feeling of powerlessness and despair, like wanting to explore the stars but finding yourself unable to overcome the speed of light.
As for the supernatural powers and spells that require the Dao Ancestor to speak, their power is also quite astonishing.
In less than a breath, the Dao Ancestor transformed into a towering giant with the burst of that immense spiritual power.
The main peak of Yunshan Mountain, which is over 4000 meters above sea level, may not even be as tall as the Dao Ancestor's chest circumference now, and Yubo Lake, which has a circumference of nearly 1,000 kilometers, has become a small puddle to the Dao Ancestor.
At this point, humans were no longer even ants in front of the Dao Ancestor; they were merely microorganisms.
Various powerful spells capable of destroying towns struck the Dao Ancestor, but it was like a strong adult being hit by a child's firecracker; the damage was negligible.
Yulia threw a powerful punch at Dao Ancestor, but Dao Ancestor simply kicked her away and sent her flying.
Theresa Scarlet Moon, who had just been resurrected, was also stomped into the ground by the Dao Ancestor.
After that, Dao Ancestor completely ignored the obstruction of the other allied forces and took a step towards Jade Wave Lake. His huge foot, wrapped in black stockings, stepped onto the allied forces' position.
Even though he was still in a sleepwalking state, Daozu seemed to have finally realized that in order to completely defeat the allied forces, he had to destroy their respawn point first.
The 50 high priestesses guarding the Jade Wave Lake position could not stand idly by and watch the Dao Ancestor destroy the allied forces' resurrection point, so they immediately joined forces to cast spells to resist.
With the combined power of 50 high priestesses, even powerful figures like Emerald and Amane would have to temporarily avoid their attacks or resort to clever tactics to counter them.
However, this power was still insufficient in the face of the Dao Ancestor, who had used the supernatural power of "Heaven and Earth Manifestation." It couldn't even slow down the Dao Ancestor's foot as it landed.
Puff puff puff!
The spell unleashed by the 50 high priestesses was almost instantly crushed by the Dao Ancestor. The high priestesses then coughed up blood, turned pale, and collapsed one after another.
"...There's no other way but to give up on this place."
Seeing this, the Crimson Moon Maid and the Dark Mermaids stationed at the resurrection point at the bottom of the lake could only retreat and escape as quickly as possible, abandoning the resurrection point.
"Ya ya ya ya!"
Only Yulia, who had just been knocked away, did not give up. After flying back, she punched Daozu's leg repeatedly, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and it was basically useless.
Snapped!
Daozu stepped into the lake, her black silk stockings getting wet. If she were to press down hard enough, the resurrection point at the bottom of Jade Wave Lake would be doomed.
At this point, even Yulia, who was least willing to give up, felt somewhat desperate in the face of the irresistible power of the Dao Ancestor's creation of the Heaven and Earth Law.
Unexpectedly, the Dao Ancestor's feet had barely stepped into the water, and before her soles were even completely submerged, she suddenly froze, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
Then the colossal figure that stood tall and imposing vanished, and the boundless spiritual power, as vast as the ocean, dissipated like the receding tide.
The Dao Ancestor returned to his normal human size and went back to the summit of the main peak of Yunshan Mountain. He stood motionless in mid-air with his eyes closed, as if he were asleep.
"It must be that Emery has succeeded! With her main consciousness being restrained, Dao Ancestor can no longer use such powerful divine abilities and spells!"
Yulia breathed a sigh of relief, then shouted to boost morale:
"Everyone, give it your all... Remember your tasks, follow Emerald's plan, and now all we have to do is wait for the right opportunity!"
"clear."
"Don't worry, Miss Yulia, I will definitely not let you down!"
"For freedom!"
The morale of the allied forces, which had almost hit the daily limit down, has finally started to rise.
If the resurrection point is indeed destroyed by the Dao Ancestor, then these allied powerhouses, who have already been killed by the Dao Ancestor several times, will hardly have the courage to continue fighting.
The allied forces, having rallied their strength, once again launched an attack on Dao Zu. Dao Zu, however, was like a boss in a game that had been refreshed and reset, now only capable of alternating attacks using the Annihilation Sword and various ordinary immortal spells.
Even so, Dao Ancestor is still terrifyingly strong, but with proper tactical coordination, he is no longer as despairing as before.
Yulia and Theresa Scarlet Moon held firm against the Sword of Annihilation, while the other allied powerhouses displayed their unique abilities to clash with the Dao Ancestor using magic. Those who died were resurrected at the resurrection point to continue the fight.
It's obviously unlikely that Dao Zu could be defeated in this way, but he was able to keep Dao Zu on the top of the main peak of Yunshan Mountain and keep Dao Zu's body in a state of battle, thus relieving pressure on Ameliete on the other front.
. . . . .
On the other side, inside the underground karst cave of the main peak of Yunshan Mountain.
While Yulia led the allied forces in battle against the Dao Ancestor's body atop the mountain, Amelie also successfully connected to the Dao Ancestor's network and entered the world's origin using the Heavenly Sound accelerator.
This is a very strange place, somewhat like the divine kingdom that Amelie had been forcibly dragged into several times before, but it is also different from the divine kingdom.
All around was a bizarre and colorful starry sky, and beneath one's feet was an endless expanse of earth, but both the starry sky and the earth were illusory.
The earth is merely a foothold formed by life's self-awareness, and the stars in the sky are not true celestial bodies, but rather compressed information packages containing various mysteries of the world. Amelie only glanced at them twice before feeling a headache and almost crashing from overload.
She quickly shook her head, focused her mind and stopped looking around, and began to search for the place where the Dao Ancestor and the World Consciousness were fighting.
The moment Amelie decided to do it, her surroundings changed, and she found herself in a place where compressed information packets were even more concentrated—the very place where the Dao Ancestor and the World Consciousness were locked in battle.
Two figures, one large and one small, were facing off in the center of the space. They were not fighting, but the compressed information packets around them were constantly being dyed back and forth. Sometimes purple light covered the compressed information packets, and sometimes golden light dyed them back. The struggle between the two sides was very intense.
The larger figure was naturally Daozu Ji Yue. She looked exactly like Lian, except that her cheongsam was not red but black with gold patterns, and her temperament was colder and more ruthless. She could not see any of Lian's charm and beauty.
The smaller figure should be the world consciousness. She is a blonde little girl whose face looks somewhat similar to Yulia's... Perhaps this is what Yulia will look like when she has a daughter in the future, wearing a cute pink princess dress and milk-white stockings, making people want to hold her in their arms and cherish her.
Daozu Jiyue and the world consciousness were clearly quite surprised that Emeryte would suddenly appear in this place.
"Why are you here? What brings you here?"
The first to speak was the World Consciousness, whose eyes held a hint of annoyance as she looked at Emeryte:
"You transmigrators are so disobedient! Why don't you just obediently submit to fate? You've added so many variables for no reason... As the Sage of Fate, you should be with the heroes and saints to defeat Ji Yue's body in the mortal world!"
"...Yes, what use are you here?"
The Dao Ancestor also spoke, his words devoid of any emotional fluctuation, yet still conveying a disdainful contempt:
"Help the Heavenly Dao consciousness fight against me? With your current level, you probably don't even know how to vie for power, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't need to rely on my disciple's identity to follow the path I left behind to get here."
"So you want to fight me here? That's even more ridiculous... You don't think that just because you managed to defeat my disciple with the help of an extraterrestrial god, you're qualified to challenge me, do you? If we really fight, you'll only be a hindrance to the Heavenly Dao's consciousness, because she can't let you die... Could it be that you're actually here to help me?"
"..."
Faced with the blame and ridicule from both the World Consciousness and the Dao Ancestor, Amelie simply took a deep breath in silence, without showing any anger.
Then Emery bowed slightly, speaking with elegant and proper manners, neither humble nor arrogant:
"I have met the World Consciousness and the Dao Ancestor... I am indeed far behind you two in terms of realm and power, and I am not qualified to interfere in your battle. Therefore, I have no intention of participating in the battle here."
Upon hearing this, the Dao Ancestor and the World Consciousness's expressions became even more disdainful, but a hint of curiosity also appeared in their eyes—if you don't intend to participate in the battle, then what are you doing here? You can't just be an observer and witness, can you?
Emerald ignored the attitudes of the Dao Ancestor and the World Consciousness. She took a few steps forward and stopped at a point where she could almost form an equilateral triangle with the Dao Ancestor and the World Consciousness. She looked earnestly at the Dao Ancestor and said:
"Sister Ji Yue, I've come to discuss the Dao with you."
"...You want to discuss philosophy with me?"
The Dao Ancestor's icy expression finally revealed obvious surprise and curiosity, along with a hint of amusement:
"But do you even know what the Dao is? You want to discuss the Dao with me? Your idea is actually bolder than challenging me here."
“If I were just Emerald Melson, even as a Sage of Destiny, I would certainly not be qualified to discuss the Dao with you, Sister Hime... After all, you have cultivated for tens of thousands of years, while the path I have taken has nothing to do with cultivation.”
Amelie smiled slightly:
"But Sister Ji Yue, you've heard how the World Consciousness addressed me before... I'm still a transmigrator, and I have knowledge of another world in my mind, including a lot of things that even you, Sister Ji Yue, have never encountered before."
"I see... So you were trying to fool me with knowledge from another world?"
The Dao Ancestor snorted lightly, his expression turning disdainful once more:
"As expected of a witch, all you do is play petty tricks... Do you really think I would fall for your schemes so easily and have my resolve shaken?"
"I didn't mean to shake your Dao heart, Sister Ji Yue... I just wanted to have some academic discussions with you. Maybe after discussing the Dao with me, your Dao heart will become even more stable?"
Emerald's smile grew even sweeter, even a little alluring.
This annoyed the world consciousness somewhat. She stomped her white-stockinged feet and shouted:
"You idiot, whose side are you here to help?"
"I'm not helping anyone."
Emery maintained a dignified and composed attitude.
"I've come here solely to explore mysteries and pursue the truth... What does the final outcome of this world have to do with me? I'm a transmigrator; I only want to become stronger. Knowledge and power are my lifelong pursuits. Do you really think I would fight for the freedom of this world?"
"you……!"
The world consciousness's eyes widened, and its head buzzed.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Suddenly, the Dao Ancestor laughed and looked at Amelie with great interest:
"Interesting, you truly are the most alluring little vixen... Even if you're just playing a trick to gain my trust, I'm genuinely interested in you. Tell me, what exactly do you want to discuss with me?"
"Then let's start with the biggest regret you've had in ten thousand years, Sister Ji Yue."
Emerald ignored the world consciousness and met the Dao Ancestor's gaze with eyes as clear as water:
"Sister Ji Yue, you are exceptionally talented. You stood at the pinnacle of the world ten thousand years ago. You should have already attained enlightenment and ascended to the void, but you have yet to succeed. Don't you find that strange?"
"...Hmph, are you deliberately reopening my old wounds and embarrassing past?"
Dao Zu's face instantly darkened:
"Are you trying to mock me for being useless, failing to attain enlightenment and then switching to merging with the Dao?"
"Of course not... Didn't I already say? I'm here just to have some academic exchanges with you, Sister Ji Yue, and it doesn't involve any personal feelings."
Emerald's expression remained unchanged, her eyes still fixed on the Dao Ancestor:
"Sister Ji Yue, there is a reason why you have been unable to attain enlightenment. If you do not make changes to address this reason, you will not succeed even if you try to attain enlightenment for another 10 years... And I happen to have guessed part of the reason."
"...Oh? Then I'll have to listen carefully."
The Dao Ancestor raised an eyebrow:
"Speak... If you can really convince me with your silver tongue, I can promise you that after I achieve Dao, you can still be the young lady of the Federation."
"Because you've taken the wrong path, Sister Ji Yue."
Emerald did not show any joy at the Dao Ancestor's promise, but chose to get straight to the point:
"As far as I know, Sister Ji Yue, you are following the path of eternal order, wanting to create a world where everyone must abide by order and it will never change, right?"
"...That's right, but so what?"
The Dao Ancestor remained silent for two seconds before loudly admitting:
“My original intention was to restrain the strong and protect the weak, and that intention has never changed. So I want to establish an eternal order. What’s wrong with that? You don’t really think that weak creatures like humans have the right to pursue freedom, do you? Without the protection of order, they will only become playthings or even food for the strong, just like those people on the Eastern Continent ten thousand years ago!”
"Sister Ji Yue has a heart that embraces the world and has compassion for the weak. I have always admired her greatly."
Emerald first lavished praise on the greatness of the Dao Ancestor's original intention, then shrugged and changed the subject:
"But this doesn't contradict the fact that you've taken the wrong path, Sister Ji Yue... because no world in the endless void can accept absolute order. This is scientific knowledge that even young people in my previous world knew... Sister Ji Yue, have you ever been familiar with the concept of entropy? Have you ever heard of the second law of thermodynamics?"
"Entropy? The second law of thermodynamics? Hmph... So this is knowledge from another world after all."
