Chapter 661: No Retreat Left

Must be destroyed!

Lu Ye took a deep breath.

“Reincarnation Celestial Lord, we really do have a way to coexist peacefully. Leaving this Heavens and Earth is not beneficial for you,” Lu Ye said.

“Well, it’s better than falling in the end.” The Reincarnation Celestial Lord’s attitude had grown resolute.

As long as he could stay alive, he was willing to pay any price.

Lu Ye refrained from saying anything about the destruction of the world—he knew better than to guilt-trip.

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord wouldn’t fall for that kind of moral blackmail either.

“You can really believe what I’m saying.”

“I, Lu Ye, swear on my Dao Fruit with my Dao Heart, if you do not take away the Six Paths of Reincarnation and leave them here, I, Lu Ye, will not lay a finger on you for my entire life. If I go against this oath, may my Dao Heart shatter, my Dao Fruit rot, and I die a horrible death!” Lu Ye swore directly.

The content of the oath surprised the Reincarnation Celestial Lord.

He actually made a vow.

And such a vicious one at that.

His expression began to twist in conflict.

“Fellow Daoist, believe me!”

Lu Ye was serious.

His current attitude was not just for the System and Little Heavenly Dao, but also to make amends for his past mistakes.

If he hadn’t been so clueless about how to love and discern right from wrong in his previous life, he wouldn’t have faced betrayal.

If he hadn’t been betrayed, the System wouldn’t have developed this huge selfishness to exploit Heavens and Earth, to reverse time.

If time hadn’t been reversed, the Heavens and Earth wouldn’t have reached such a state of collapse.

Even though losing the Six Paths of Reincarnation would injure the world, it wouldn’t be in such a dire situation.

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord’s expression fluctuated between dark and light.

He was in deep thought.

Lu Ye had already taken it this far…

“I want to become a Saint in this life! You can’t compete with me!” the Reincarnation Celestial Lord declared.

Lu Ye nodded without hesitation.

“Sure, I vow with all my cultivation that as long as you become a Saint in this life, I will absolutely not compete for the position of Saint. If I go against this vow, may my cultivation be completely wasted!”

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord…

Good lord, whatever he said, Lu Ye answered without any hesitation—this world really was that important to him?

Having cultivated to this point, wasn’t everything supposed to be aimed at becoming a Saint?

During the process of becoming a Saint, if he could lend a hand to the Heavens and Earth, then he should lend a hand.

Helping the Heavens and Earth should not be placed before becoming a Saint!

“Fellow Daoist!”

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord’s face kept changing.

He could say that Lu Ye had already agreed to his requests as much as possible.

“Allow me to consider it.”

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord said.

Lu Ye took a deep breath.

“Then can you first pause the removal of the Six Paths of Reincarnation from the world?” Lu Ye asked.

“That won’t do. I know your strength is advancing rapidly, but please be assured, once I make up my mind and agree, I will absolutely stop at the first opportunity.”

“Alright, please take your time. I will be here waiting for you.”

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord shot a deep glance at Lu Ye and vanished into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

He was indeed conflicted.

Lu Ye’s words were really quite good. If he agreed, it not only cleared all past grievances but Lu Ye wouldn’t interfere with his becoming a Saint this life—he was willing to let him go first.

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord had never received such treatment before.

When had he tried to become a Saint and not faced a ruthless adversary?

And now, the only one who could rival him in this world, Lu Ye, was actually proactively offering him the chance to become a Saint.

Was this really…

No trickery involved?

Based on Lu Ye’s past character, it seemed unlikely he would scheme.

But a small chance is still a chance.

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord thought and thought again.

In the end, he still couldn’t believe that Lu Ye would make such a concession.

Better to leave!

After leaving, the outside world was vast, and there would be plenty of opportunities for him.

Even if this world perished, a new world would be born, for that is the essence of the Reincarnation Dao.

However, he did not go out to inform Lu Ye of his decision. Instead, he methodically began to withdraw his Six Paths of Reincarnation.

As long as he continued for a while, if he could pull out enough of the Six Paths, he could instantly withdraw them all at once.

Lu Ye waited outside the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Time ticked by.

Lu Ye’s expression grew increasingly troubled.

“Reincarnation Celestial Lord, have you made up your mind?” Lu Ye asked.

“Fellow Daoist, I’m still pondering, please be patient,” the Reincarnation Celestial Lord replied.

“Can you pause the withdrawal of the Six Paths of Reincarnation?”

“Don’t rush, Fellow Daoist. I will stop at the first opportunity once I decide.”

More time passed.

“Reincarnation Celestial Lord, have you still not decided?”

“Lu Ye, this is a major matter, just let me think a bit longer.”

Lu Ye took a deep breath.

He already knew what the Reincarnation Celestial Lord was planning.

Alright, alright!

So that’s how it’s going to be?

At this moment, Lu Ye’s murderous intent surged to its peak.

Since you don’t care about your dignity, I’ll help you keep it!

Yes, he couldn’t beat the Reincarnation Celestial Lord within the Six Paths—primarily because he didn’t want to suffer a loss for a small gain.

But now that the Reincarnation Celestial Lord was so resolved, Lu Ye couldn’t hold back any longer.

“I’ll give you three more days!”

“If you cannot give me a response in three days, I’ll take it that you disagree with my proposal.”

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord didn’t reply.

The swirling vortex slowed even more.

It was nearly coming to a halt.

Lu Ye took out the Divine Object he had refined with the last trace of his life.

All sweet words had been exhausted.

Since the Reincarnation Celestial Lord was stubborn, he would dare to challenge and see just how terrifying the Reincarnation Celestial Lord within the Six Paths truly was.

On the first day.

Lu Ye refined the ninth life, completely merging his Saint status into the world.

On the second day, nine versions of Lu Ye sat together, facing each other.

The first Lu Ye stepped out, merging into Lu Ye’s true body.

At this moment, Lu Ye’s Primordial Force surged, and his Dao Fruit began to grow frighteningly large, an incredibly terrifying aura emanating from it.

The second Lu Ye stepped in, entering the true body of Lu Ye.

Lu Ye’s muscles, bones, and blood began to glow with an astonishing light.

The third Lu Ye entered within Lu Ye.

The fourth…

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord observed Lu Ye and his heart tightened.

What is this guy doing?

Is he planning to go all out against me?

Unrelatedly, the Reincarnation Celestial Lord began to panic.

Since he had already made his choice, the Reincarnation Celestial Lord stopped pretending, and at this moment, the swirling vortex began to reverse its rotation.

Between the Heavens and Earth, countless energies began to be absorbed by the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The entire world was greatly affected.

Thunder rumbled everywhere, lightning flashed, strong winds blew, heavy snows fell, and torrential rains poured.

The sky broke, and the end of the world was upon them.
