“Chapter 630: Became the Great Emperor!”
So, asking the Dao? Bring it on!
The Chaos Demon Heart Lotus appeared above Lu Ye’s head.
Lu Ye’s Dao hummed ominously, a terrifying resonance rippling through the heavens and earth.
The Chaos Demon Heart Lotus trembled at that moment.
All the Celestial Lords watching this couldn’t help but feel emotional.
In this world, there truly is someone so young who has raised everything to such heights. If such a person can’t become a Great Emperor, then who can?
The Chaos Demon Heart Lotus emitted a black glow, enveloping Lu Ye.
Lu Ye closed his eyes.
At that instant, he seemed to enter a fetal state, free of all distractions, letting go of every thought.
In this dreamlike, half-illusory state.
A figure appeared deep within Lu Ye’s soul.
His consciousness became so pure that when he looked at this figure, which started blurry but felt incredibly significant.
Colorful radiance spread out.
The enchanting figure seemed to embody all the beauty of the world.
The elegance born from the creation of heaven and earth.
The pinnacle of beauty from the essence of ancient and modern.
Who is this?
The blurry figure stood aside, and another figure emerged.
This figure was extraordinarily powerful, exuding vitality that overshadowed the centuries, a presence like the source of the world, the edge of existence.
Eternal, unparalleled.
Two figures.
Each stood before and behind Lu Ye.
And Lu Ye had to choose one!
This was the heart’s inquiry for Lu Ye.
Which path do you truly seek?
The utmost beauty of the world, or the utmost strength?
Is it the quest for your own Dao, or the quest for the Heavenly Dao?
Lu Ye stood still, gazing ahead, where the enchanting figure awaited quietly.
He turned to look back, where the powerful figure waved at him.
Have you forgotten betrayal?
In this world, no one is trustworthy, no one can be relied upon forever.
Only you, if you are strong, then you are your strongest support.
Be it promises made or heartfelt devotion, all will decay with time. Only your own strength remains eternal, unshaken by anything else.
Confusion swirled in Lu Ye’s mind.
Whether he admitted it or not, the betrayal of eight ex-wives had gravely wounded him. Even after enduring so long in cultivation, even forsaking the path of protection, the impact still surfaced when he reached the point of becoming an emperor.
Choose one!
You must choose one!
This thought kept repeating in Lu Ye’s mind.
But a smirk appeared on Lu Ye’s lips, a touch of mockery.
Oh, is that it?
You want me to choose one? Just because you say so?
After all the hardships in this life and the last, crystallizing into my Dao heart, is this really what you want me to do?
If I play by your rules, what was the point of cultivating my Dao? What good is my painstakingly forged Dao heart?
You want me to choose? I’d rather split myself in half and take both!
Will time dull my feelings? Lu Ye didn’t know, but he was certain he wouldn’t abandon what he had for anyone!
A beam of sword light appeared above Lu Ye’s head.
Actually, Lu Ye felt that no matter how fast he got, he couldn’t grab both at once; if he approached one, the other would vanish.
Yet, Lu Ye chose to split himself in two, taking half for each!
What?
Would that kill him?
Then let it be!
The sword light hovered over his head, and Lu Ye showed no hesitation, slicing down at himself.
However, the pain he expected didn’t come.
Lu Ye stared ahead, the colors of the radiant light spreading, that enchanting figure, somehow, had moved before him.
“Ding, silly host, I have legs too!”
“And they’re long!”
Lu Ye laughed.
He laughed with genuine delight.
Oh right, he had forgotten that the one he loves wouldn’t just wait around.
She could take steps and come running to him.
How could she bear to leave him in such a bind?
Lu Ye opened his arms, the colorful radiance now crystal clear. Who else could it be but Shen Xitang?
Shen Xitang leapt into Lu Ye’s embrace, her little nose scrunching up.
Oh no, recently it seemed like her heart raced way too fast! This dog host really knew how to charm, or else how could he have attracted eight Dao companions?
She definitely didn’t want to advance so quickly!
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be not long before she faced an irresistible wave of challenges?
This won’t do!
The thought alone scared Shen Xitang; if she faced overwhelming challenges, the balance of the entire heavenly paths would shatter.
Wouldn’t everyone guess what was up?
Lu Ye held Shen Xitang and glanced at his future self.
A stern command rang out.
“Aren’t you coming over?”
The incredibly powerful figure couldn’t help but lightly shake its head, seemingly amused.
It slowly walked towards Lu Ye, merging into him.
And at that moment, the aura belonging to the Great Emperor fully exploded.
Endless light converged towards Lu Ye’s dantian, the Dao resonated, and the heavens rejoiced.
The fluffy Yuan Ying curled up at that moment, morphing into a fruit-like existence. Everything about Lu Ye—the Dao, his essence, spirit—flowed into this Dao fruit.
But Lu Ye also decisively made a choice.
That was to merge his Dao fruit directly into the world within.
Lu Ye’s 256 Dao resonated together; the most powerful Dao of Seeking coiled around the entire world like a python.
All the Daos across heaven and earth resonated, countless vast spiritual energies surged towards Lu Ye like a tidal wave.
Seizing this opportunity, Lu Ye swiftly extinguished the flames in this world.
The 256 Daos fully merged into the world, one Dao of Seeking serving as a medium among the heavens’ three thousand Daos, triggering a grand evolution of this new world.
What does this mean?
It’s simple; when this world helps the system in the future, Lu Ye would permanently lose those 256 Daos, even sacrificing a massive amount of cultivation.
But Lu Ye didn’t fear at all!
That’s exactly the effect he wanted!
In that moment, Lu Ye essentially refined the entire world into his Dao fruit; one can only imagine how much his power would surge now.
Not even five thousand years into reincarnation.
Today, he would again attain the status of Great Emperor.
Lu Ye opened his eyes.
At that moment, all the Celestial Lords present, even those who had seemingly been easily dispatched by Lu Ye at the Emperor Realm, simultaneously bowed to him.
Sincerely congratulating him.
“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, on attaining the status of Great Emperor!”
At that moment, throughout the Nine Heavens and beyond, countless deities sensed Lu Ye’s aura of becoming a Great Emperor.
Trillions of beings bowed.
“Congratulations, Great Emperor!”
