Chapter 240: Reincarnation Talisman Paper

The Great Elder of Heavenly Fate was taken aback, his expression peculiar.

"Little Friend Li, you don't intend to go and trouble that aberrant will of Heaven, do you?"

Seng Daoke was also startled upon hearing this.

A vague, ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Although a normal person would absolutely never trouble such a terrifying thing, this Li Jushi really might; he did not play by the rules, said shocking things, and acted as soon as he spoke.

"Why not?" Li Heng asked back with a smile.

The Great Elder of Heavenly Fate was instantly speechless.

Although that was only an aberrant sub-will of Heaven and not the original, it was still something he had exhausted his last shred of strength to seal here, and its strength was extremely terrifying.

Moreover, its status was extremely high; how could a mortal deal with it?

"Is this a lack of confidence in me?"

Without the slightest concealment, Li Heng continued to smile.

"This old man indeed lacks confidence." The Great Elder nodded.

"Little Friend Li should surely be clear that above the Innate realm, there are the Five Layers of Dharma Aspect and the Nine Changes of Heavenly Human; every time one crosses a minor realm, their strength undergoes an earth-shaking change."

"And this aberrant will has a strength of at least the Fifth Layer of Dharma Aspect."

The old man's expression became solemn as he stared at Li Heng.

"Dharma Aspect, is it." Li Heng nodded, lost in thought.

He calculated his remaining Source Power; if he were to consume it entirely and then briefly erupt with combat power, a strength at the Fifth Layer of Dharma Aspect, not yet having entered Heavenly Human, was still within his range of handling.

"Are you certain this is true?"

"Basically true, otherwise it would not have been sealed here by this old man's final strength before death," the Great Elder replied.

"But does this level of strength not dispel your thoughts?"

The old man frowned.

"Little Friend Li, you must know this is not a simple Fifth Layer of Dharma Aspect; it is the aberrant will of Heaven. Even if it is only a sub-will, its status is extremely high, and no one within the Dharma Aspect Realm is its match."

"As for the Heavenly Human above the Dharma Aspect? Heh."

The Great Elder sneered.

"Do the Heavenly Humans who embody Heaven and Earth dare to strike against the will of Heaven and Earth? They dare not! Not to mention that those Heavenly Humans have surely already run into problems; being able to maintain their own Reason is already considered not bad, and it is even more impossible for them to risk their own complete sinking to take action and resolve this matter."

"As for the emperors of the Zhuzhu Dynasty?"

"Their Luck cannot reach here."

"Therefore, that will can be said to be invincible in this world!"

"And Little Friend Li, forgive this old man for speaking bluntly, even if you are an Anomaly and possess monstrous combat power, capable of killing opponents across realms, it is absolutely impossible to slay a Fifth Layer Dharma Aspect Realm opponent while in the Innate realm."

"Especially when this Fifth Layer of Dharma Aspect is a sub-will of Heaven!"

His expression was grave as he bowed to Li Heng once more.

"Please do not throw your life away; come back later."

In fact, he did not wait for Li Heng to refuse or agree; with a wave of his large hand, he wanted to send Li Heng and his companion back to the Present World so they would not be in danger, leading to a state of eternal doom and sinking forever.

He sighed in his heart.

An Anomaly is an Anomaly, but still too young.

Young and frivolous, unaware of the power of Heaven.

You will understand my painstaking efforts later and be grateful to this old man. As for now, let this old man, who hasn't died completely, deal with him; you can come back when you are stronger.

With a compassionate expression, he sent out these words. Subsequently, ripples of space-time fluctuated, acting upon Li Heng and Seng Daoke. Then, without looking back, he flicked his sleeves and turned around, and Heaven and Earth began to resume their flow.

But the next moment, a calm voice rang out.

"Is the old man perhaps underestimating me a bit too much?"

The Great Elder of Heavenly Fate was startled upon hearing this; the Heaven and Earth that were about to resume their flow stilled and froze once again, and he quickly turned to look. He only saw that Li Heng and Seng Daoke were still standing in their original spots!

Above the two of them, a Great Sun Dharma Image emerged, blooming with immeasurable light; its light was Sacred, mysterious and profound, anchoring space-time, and it was not affected by his power in the slightest.

At this, the old man was completely dumbfounded.

Even though he was already dead, he was at least at a realm half a step beyond Heavenly Human during his lifetime; at the cost of his own life, he could even temporarily wrestle with Heaven.

Yet now, he was actually unable to do anything to an Innate?

What kind of joke is this!

Could it be that this Anomaly possesses power on the same level as Heaven?

He quickly restrained his shocked mood and spoke with a tone of amazement. "Little Friend Li's methods exceed this old man's imagination; no wonder you have the confidence to face that aberrant will of Heaven directly."

"However, do you really want to face him?"

"Judging by your realm, the risk is truly too great. If you fall into a disadvantage while facing him, I will be completely unable to provide you with any help, and at that time, you will only be defeated and perish."

"But that is still the best outcome!"

The Great Elder said in a deep voice.

"You are highly likely to be twisted and aberrated, giving birth to a new self, becoming his slave and lackey, sinking forever. In the face of such a possibility, death is actually a happy ending."

The more Li Heng displayed his power, the less he wanted Li Heng to face that aberrant sub-will of Heaven prematurely.

One cannot put all their eggs in one basket.

If Li Heng were to die, and the variable he speculated about also could not resolve this sub-will and also died, then what should he do? Could he still hope for another new variable to appear?

If variables could appear so easily.

Then they would not be variables.

Moreover, as far as he was personally concerned.

He felt that Li Heng was more reliable than that other Anomaly, and he was more willing to let that other Anomaly come over first to test things out, eliminating potential risks for Li Heng. If that Anomaly resolved it, naturally everyone would be happy, and Li Heng would not need to take the risk; if it could not be resolved, it would not be too late to let Li Heng take action to resolve it then.

After all, Li Heng had displayed his power before him.

But he did not know.

This kind of matter would have a great reward for Li Heng.

"You can rest assured; I have the strength to resolve it myself."

Li Heng replied.

He was naturally clear that this Great Elder had good intentions, but cases of good intentions leading to bad outcomes were not rare. If this old man remained stubborn, he would only have to expend some Source Power and find it himself.

Seng Daoke was caught between the two, remaining silent.

On one hand, he felt that what the Great Elder said was indeed reasonable; on the other hand, he vaguely felt that Li Heng might truly be able to resolve this matter. This thought made him feel it was absurd and incredible.

Thinking it over, he only felt that it was because Li Heng gave him too much confidence, and that the things Li Heng had accomplished had always exceeded his expectations.

The Heavenly Mandate Great Elder was silent for a long time.

He did not know what decision he should make.

On one hand, reason told him that he absolutely could not do this; proceeding like this would risk great danger, or even be courting death. But on the other hand, reason also told him that with the power Li Heng had currently displayed, it was indeed possible to achieve this.

It was just... was the possibility of such odds worth him taking the risk?

Li Heng shook his head, having grown impatient from waiting.

He did not intend to persuade this old man anymore; he planned to use Source Power to bypass the blockade of this Heavenly Mandate Great Elder and head directly to the place where that Weird will was entrenched.

Who told him he wasn't a Protagonist with Plot Armor, radiating an aura of a king from his whole body, able to make the Heavenly Mandate Great Elder bow down just by shaking his tiger-like torso?

It seemed he realized Li Heng's intention.

The Great Elder hurriedly spoke up.

"Wait, I agree; you may head there."

"Take this."

He pulled out from somewhere a piece of Reincarnation Talisman Paper covered in dense Runes, with golden light flickering within the lines, and stuffed it into Li Heng's palm.

Li Heng raised an eyebrow, "Is this a life-saving item?"

The Heavenly Mandate Great Elder's expression was blank.

"No, this is Reincarnation Talisman Paper. It is said that with this as a token, one can directly bypass the rumored Underworld Ruins and enter the Abandoned Reincarnation Path directly; it should be able to smoothly assist you in passing on, right?"

He said with some uncertainty.

Li Heng's mouth twitched upon hearing this.

This old man, what kind of intentions did he have? He wasn't even dead yet.

"Aren't you already dead? Why don't you use it?"

"This old man has already died very thoroughly in this time period; not a single soul or True Spirit remains, wiped clean by Heaven. How could I reincarnate? Besides, I already said this is 'said to be' and 'rumored'."

"So, whether this matter is true or false, this old man does not know either."

He spread his hands, looking helpless.

Immediately, not waiting for Li Heng to answer, he waved his large hand, and a light screen several zhang in radius, radiating a gray brilliance, appeared before the two. "Little Friend Li, you may walk into this and step into the place where that Weird will is entrenched. I wish you good luck."

"However, Seng Daoke cannot enter. Unlike you, Little Friend Li, he would likely be infected by the Weird aura within the moment he stepped inside, becoming twisted and deformed."

He looked at Seng Daoke and said calmly.

He was still counting on this Seng Daoke to contact that Anomaly.

It was impossible to let him put himself in danger.

Seng Daoke nodded vigorously.

He wasn't a fool; for someone with his small stature to run off to crusade against the Weird sub-will of Heaven, wouldn't that be courting death?

Li Heng was not surprised.

For such a dangerous matter, he hadn't intended to bring Seng Daoke along anyway.

He sensed this so-called Reincarnation Talisman Paper slightly and also used the Identification Function to appraise it, discovering that this talisman paper was indeed not simple; he couldn't even appraise any specific details about it.

However, he could be certain that this thing was harmless.

He also took the opportunity to sense and appraise that gray light screen.

He confirmed there were no problems with it either.

He also didn't think this Heavenly Mandate Great Elder was harming him; judging from the information that appeared when he previously appraised the Heavenly Mandate Crystal, this Heavenly Mandate Great Elder was likely not a villainous character.

As for the small probability within that?

He didn't really care much.

With Source Power on his person, no one could make him fall into a dangerous situation.

He mainly felt that this old man was again doing bad things with good intentions, and if he tricked him back into the Present World, that would be troublesome; he himself did not know the space-time coordinates of that place.

Having appraised everything to be fine, Li Heng set off.

One foot stepped into the gray light screen, and his figure vanished.

Seeing Li Heng depart completely, the old man sighed.

This Little Friend Li was good in every way, but he was just too adventurous; it seemed he still had to change his target for investment. He was not optimistic about this trip at all; of course, he also hoped the Reincarnation Talisman Paper would not be triggered.

It was just that hope is hope.

It was precisely because the possibility was slim.

He wanted to look at Seng Daoke.

"I want to give you a new task..."

Li Heng's appearance made him realize that the future would absolutely not be as calm as he had predicted; if nothing went wrong, he himself would have to make more interventions.

He wanted to let Seng Daoke contact that variable in advance.

And at this moment, Li Heng arrived in a gray, misty World and looked up.

A pair of blood-red eyes as vast as Heaven and Earth......
