The Dao Ancestor snorted coldly:

"Then you little devil, explain to me properly what all this knowledge is! And what does it have to do with my repeated failures to attain enlightenment?"

"To put it simply, in a way that you, Sister Jiyue, can understand..."

Emery thought for a moment and said:

"Entropy represents the degree of disorder within a system, and it is irreversible. The entropy of any world is constantly increasing, which is one of the fundamental laws universally applicable to the world."

"According to the understanding of the universe by many scientific and technological civilizations, the life of the universe is a process of heat flowing continuously until it reaches complete thermal equilibrium. When the heat in a universe completely stops flowing, that universe will meet with a death called heat death."

"Does my explanation make sense, Sister Ji Yue?"

"...I think I understand what you mean."

Ji Yue pondered for a moment, and then actually began to share her views:

"Are you saying that chaos is an indispensable element of a world, and that this level of chaos is irreversible, only increasing with the lifespan of the world... so the absolute order I want to establish is against the laws of nature and is doomed to fail?"

"But what about mere principles of Heaven? My cultivation is about defying Heaven... Little fairy, you've also come into contact with gods. Their will can supersede the laws of the world, so why can't I do the same?"

"That's because the law that you're going to transcend, Sister Ji Yue, is rather special."

Emery shrugged:

“If it were the law of change, Sister Ji Yue, you might have already attained enlightenment and ascended to the void. But the laws related to entropy are different; they also involve the concept of life and death in the universe.”

"Didn't I say that if the entropy in a universe stops changing completely, it means that the universe has entered a state of thermal equilibrium and has entered a state of death called heat death?"

"And once you, Sister Ji Yue, truly succeed in attaining enlightenment, your eternal order should be able to prevent the entropy of a world from increasing, and even defy the laws of thermodynamics to eliminate entropy, so that the entire world will no longer be affected by disorder."

“But in this way, Sister Ji Yue, your world will be like those universes that died of heat death, where entropy will never change again, as if it has reached thermal equilibrium.”

"But a universe that has reached thermal equilibrium should be filled with deathly stillness, with everything frozen in a state of stagnation. And your world, Sister Himezuki, is clearly not like that, so..."

Amelie then shrugged:

"A universe that was still full of life has become a universe that has died of heat death. This situation will obviously cause major conflicts and bugs. Of course, it is impossible to pass through the endless void... That's why you have been failing to attain enlightenment, Sister Ji Yue."

"You should know that even those evil gods who are feared and hated by both life and civilization, their concepts and nature are an indispensable part of the stable operation of the endless void."

"Do you understand what I'm saying, Sister Ji Yue?"

"..."

The Dao Ancestor remained silent for quite a while, allowing the world's consciousness to seize back much of her authority. As a result, her body, which had been using the Heavenly Manifestation and Earthly Manifestation Divine Power in the mortal world, was forced to stop casting spells.

As the first and strongest Chosen One, Daozu Ji Yue, like Amelite, also possesses the ability to quickly comprehend any knowledge, even if that knowledge comes from another world.

"Could it be... that I really took the wrong turn?"

But it was precisely because he understood the knowledge that Amelie had spoken that the Dao Ancestor's belief, which had remained unshaken for thousands of years, began to waver slightly.

This once again proves the old saying—knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing; knowledge can sometimes become a deadly poison.

Chapter 374 Awakening Sleeping Beauty, Destroying Inner Demons

"Good, good, well said! As expected of the sage I chose... Hehehe, if you can talk so much, keep going!"

Seeing that Amelie's discourse had such a clear effect, the World Consciousness immediately put its hands on its hips and laughed triumphantly, snatching back almost all of the World Authority that had been taken away by the Dao Ancestor in one fell swoop.

It looked exactly like a little imp about to turn into a cream puff in butter.

The Dao Ancestor also appeared to be corrupted by knowledge, with her brows furrowed and her aura weak. The area she could control was now only the area around her, and she looked as if she could be defeated by the world's consciousness at any moment.

Unlike the smug World Consciousness, who was practically bursting with champagne to celebrate, Emerald was on edge.

She didn't believe that the Dao Ancestor could be easily defeated by this level of knowledge pollution.

The Dao Ancestor may seem to be at a great disadvantage now, but that's only because she's temporarily wavering. Once she can figure things out, her counterattack will definitely be twice as powerful... just like the protagonists in those action-packed works who fall into confusion and then have an epiphany.

In Amelie's plan, the introduction of the concepts of entropy and thermodynamics was not intended to defeat the Dao Ancestor's attack, but merely to test and verify one of her conjectures.

as predicted.

"Huh? Huh? Huh?"

The World Consciousness was smug for less than five minutes before it suddenly cried out in alarm. It then frantically tried to protect its power, but it was no match for the Dao Ancestor.

"So what if I went down the wrong path before?"

After some internal struggle, Dao Ancestor's expression suddenly calmed down, his eyes turned into a completely expressionless and cold gaze, and the purple aura behind him suddenly erupted, not only taking back all the authority that had been taken back by the world consciousness, but also conquering more authority and domains in one fell swoop.

She figured it out.

"I knew that the path I took before was wrong, which is why I chose the new path!"

As the Dao Ancestor spoke, he looked at Amelie again:

"Thank you for your reminder, witch, which has strengthened my resolve... Since my path cannot be recognized by the endless void, then I will seize someone else's path! As long as I succeed in merging with the Dao, I can still use this world to complete my sublimation, enter a completely new realm, and become a truly free, higher life form!"

"I... am destined to attain the Dao! Give it to me!"

Amidst the fierce shout, the purple aura behind the Dao Ancestor intensified once more. She also reached out and tore a part of the pink princess dress on the World Consciousness's body from a distance, absorbing it into her palm.

This wasn't because Daozu wanted to steal the World Consciousness's clothes, but because as Daozu became more determined after falling into confusion, her strength increased again, and the World Consciousness was no match for her. Even the authority over her core area began to fall.

"Aaaaaah... You stupid sage! Look what you've done! Your knowledge didn't kill her at all, it just made her stronger! Aaaaaah... I'm doomed, I'm going to be killed by my own rebellious daughter."

The World Consciousness panicked and screamed, even resorting to blaming her teammates in a fit of impotent rage. This panic made her even more defeated, and in no time, even half of her white stockings was snatched away by the Dao Ancestor and absorbed into his palm.

Seeing the situation rapidly deteriorate, Emerald showed no panic, but continued to stare intently at the Dao Ancestor, completely ignoring the world consciousness's incessant wailing.

A moment later, Emery's lips curled into a slight smile:

"It seems... I guessed right, you really aren't the real Sister Ji Yue, but just an imposter... Waaah!"

Amelie didn't finish her sentence.

Because the Dao Ancestor's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light, as if he had been enraged by having his wounds reopened, he struck Ameliete with a palm strike from a distance, sending her flying backward and spitting blood. At the same time, he shouted:

"You witch, stop spouting nonsense! If I am not Ji Yue, then who am I? And who is Ji Yue?"

"...Getting anxious?"

Emery clutched her aching chest and slowly rose to her feet, blood still dripping from the corner of her mouth, but the smile on her face was the joy of a victor.

"Then it proves my judgment was correct... Sister Ji Yue is such a hero, I knew her legend even before I came to this world! How could someone like her give up on proving the Dao because of a mere ten thousand years of failure, and instead choose the evil path of merging with the Dao?"

"If you continue to immerse yourself in thinking about entropy and try to refute me, sticking to your own path is not wrong, then you might be the real Sister Ji Yue... But you actually gave up on the path you had been walking all along so quickly and became completely determined to take the wrong path. Doesn't that mean you were still persuaded by me?"

"How ridiculous! My sister Ji Yue is the best in the world, whether in literary talent or martial arts. Even if this is her first time encountering knowledge from another world, she would never admit defeat so quickly... especially not so easily."

"after all……"

As Amelie spoke, one hand was still clutching her aching chest, while the other gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her beauty as captivating as Xi Shi clutching her heart.

"I'm the woman that Sister Ji Yue herself said she liked. Who would easily admit defeat in front of the woman they like?"

"Nonsense... Utter nonsense!"

The fierce light in Daozu's eyes gradually turned into killing intent, and his hands curled into claws, the anger in his heart ready to transform into a fierce killing move at any moment.

Thanks to Ameliete's timely intervention to draw back the hatred, the Dao Ancestor's speed in seizing world power was temporarily slowed down, giving the world consciousness a chance to breathe.

But this time, the World Consciousness didn't dare to interrupt. She had realized that she was the one holding everyone back, so she decided to pretend to be invisible and obediently watch the Sage of Destiny's performance.

Ignoring the Dao Ancestor's murderous intent, Amelie steadied herself and walked towards him, calling out affectionately:

“Wake up, Sister Ji Yue… or do you prefer me to call you Lian? You are not actually the human side that was cut off by the Dao Ancestor, but the real Dao Ancestor Ji Yue, right? You just chose to run away after many failures.”

"Lian? So you're counting on her? Humph! Ignorant witch!"

The Dao Ancestor snorted coldly:

"Lian is just a demon in my heart. She has long since disappeared. Even if you shout until you're hoarse, she will never appear again."

Really?

Emerald remained unmoved and continued to slowly walk towards the Dao Ancestor:

"You actually know better than I who the real inner demon is, and who the real Sister Ji Yue is, don't you?"

"The reason you suddenly became so powerful and wanted to accelerate your Dao integration is because after hearing my previous theories, Sister Ji Yue, who was trying to escape, wanted to wake up out of curiosity, which made you feel fear, right?"

"Otherwise, why would you withdraw your external physical body's Heaven and Earth Transformation Divine Power... You were about to win, but you gave up at the crucial moment, and all your efforts were in vain."

"You don't want to win? Not at all, because you know that if you don't concentrate most of your power here to complete the Dao Integration as soon as possible, you will lose control of your body."

"After all... my sister Ji Yue is invincible, how could she possibly let a mere inner demon like you take over her body? She was just a little disheartened and wanted to escape for a while, and you just took advantage of that... ugh!"

"Stop talking! You witch! I'll kill you right now!"

Dao Zu could no longer bear Amelie's words, so he made a move, his hand forming a claw as he grabbed at Amelie in the air, causing Amelie's body to fly uncontrollably toward him.

Judging from Amelie's flight trajectory, Dao Zu probably wanted to grab Amelie's neck and strangle her to death... Even if he couldn't kill her, he wanted to strangle her until she couldn't speak, and Amelie couldn't resist Dao Zu's move.

Objectively speaking, Emerald is indeed no match for Dao Ancestor. Just as Lian said before, Emerald is still too young, and Dao Ancestor has a stronger talent for cultivation.

But being unable to defeat him doesn't mean being powerless to resist. Only at this moment did Emerald suddenly unleash all her power to fight against Dao Ancestor, but instead of breaking free from Dao Ancestor's grasp, she slightly changed her flight trajectory.

Emery made herself a little taller.

So the Dao Ancestor's hand, which was originally intended to strangle Ameliete, deviated from its target and grabbed Ameliete's body below the neck.

!

That familiar touch, even though the Dao Ancestor's facial muscles trembled as he tried to control himself, he still couldn't, and fell into a moment of daze.

According to the original game's combat mode, if Emery's charm is successfully applied, the Dao Ancestor will be in a charmed state for about 1 second.

Amélie was not about to waste such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Her supple body, like a snake, slithered along Dao Zu's arm and snuggled up to him, embracing him and kissing him.

After her mouth was occupied, Emerald did not speak again, but through a deeper form of communication at the level of consciousness, she sent what she wanted to say directly into the depths of the Dao Ancestor's consciousness:

"This young lady is here to kiss Sleeping Beauty awake... It's time to get up, Lian... As proud as you are, you wouldn't really be willing to give up proving the Dao in the void and go to merge with the Dao to bully that little girl in the world consciousness, would you?"

"Regarding entropy and the laws of thermodynamics, I don't really know if they're right or wrong. They're basically just my own understanding... But it doesn't matter. Whether these theories are right or wrong, the reason you've been failing to prove your path is probably not wrong."

“You’ve taken the wrong path… It’s not that the path of eternal order is problematic, but rather that it’s not the path you truly want to take, is that right?”

"That night in bed, didn't you tell me that you didn't actually want to be some revered Taoist ancestor? You just wanted to be a carefree cook who roamed the martial world, and occasionally flirt with other people's beautiful wives, right?"

"If that's the case, then why don't you follow your heart, Sister Lian?"

"Only by following your deepest desires and persevering to the end can you become a true strongman... This is a principle that even an apprentice mage can understand, so why are you, the strongest Rei-nee, confused about this?"

"A nobody who doesn't even dare to face his own true self wants to attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality? So it's perfectly normal for you, Sister Lian, to keep failing. And you, a nobody, are you really going to give up like this?"

!!!

. . . . .

On the other side, at the summit of Yunshan's main peak.

After Daozu voluntarily released the Heavenly Manifestation Divine Power, she returned to her original fighting mode, which only involved dreamlike sword techniques, greatly reducing the pressure on Yulia and the others.

However, Yulia and the others did not rush to expand their gains. Instead, they used methods that conserved as much magic power as possible to restrain Dao Ancestor and wait for an opportunity.

According to Emerald's plan, they only have one real chance, and that chance must be seized by Julia.

As for how to seize this opportunity, this is what Amelie said to Julia:

"Trust your intuition, baby... Don't use your brain to think randomly, just trust your purest intuition. When your intuition tells you it's the right time, gather everyone's strength and give Dao Ancestor a good beating."

Around the time Amelie kissed the Dao Ancestor at the origin of the world, Julia's intuition told her that the time had come.

"Everyone! Follow the plan! Lend me all your strength!"

Without any hesitation, Yulia immediately assumed a stance to prepare for a punch, concentrating all her remaining strength into the next strike, while shouting loudly.

Although the allied warriors who heard Julia's shout were puzzled, they had a clear memory of the witch's past achievements and were willing to believe in Amelie's plan.

So after Yulia shouted, all the powerful allied warriors who were still able to move, whether they used magic or spiritual power, sent their purest power to Yulia from a distance.

Yulia accepted everything without hesitation, regardless of whether it was magic or spiritual power, or what attributes it had. She was completely unafraid of not being able to digest it all.

During the transmission and absorption and transformation of this power, some loss was inevitable, but most of it was successfully gathered by Yulia into her fist.

My punch will definitely hit!

After gathering enough power, Yulia used the causal punch she had learned from the giant blood squid, which involved the time dimension and was sure to hit, and struck the Dao Ancestor's lower abdomen.

Normally, even if the Dao Ancestor is in a sleepwalking state, he cannot be easily hit. Yulia should have used the Annihilation Sword to interrupt him when he started to charge up.
