Chapter 705: The Great Hoodwinking Art

"I understand, but where is the uncertainty in this information?"

Li Heng asked as he was born, for he did not believe this information was necessarily correct. Or rather, even if this information were the correct answer, he did not necessarily have to abide by it.

A correct answer is sometimes also a trap.

"The uncertainty lies in the fact that we do not have the ability to verify the truth of this information. And the certainty lies in the fact that this information was spoken personally by a certain Dao Lord in the past."

Void Scale explained.

Li Heng frowned; in this way, the problem had shifted back to the Dao Lords? But looking at it now, the Dao Lords were already cold and dead, so where was he supposed to go to verify the truth of this matter?

Verify it using Source Power?

Honestly, he had just tried it, but it was nowhere near enough. Yes, even though he now had over one hundred million Golden Source Points, he was still unable to verify the accuracy of this answer.

However, this situation also indicated from the side that this information was absolutely heavyweight and not some baseless, false lie; even if it were false, it had a certain theoretical basis.

"The information on achieving the Tenth Dao Lord was revealed by a Dao Lord, interesting," Li Heng laughed.

"What else? After all, only Dao Lords could come into contact with and know such information. But fortunately, they are already dead, and having already been Dao Lords, this position of the Tenth Dao Lord, the Ultimate Dao Lord, is not for them. Even taking a step back, even if it were for them, they are each the furthest away from the position of the Tenth Dao Lord."

Void said.

"Oh, why is that? Didn't you, fellow Daoist, say before that Dao Lords are incomparably powerful and at the very pinnacle of the Great Void? Clearly, these Dao Lords are closer to the position of the Tenth Dao Lord, right?"

Li Heng responded with a smile; he did not believe the nonsense that one could not achieve the Ultimate Dao Lord just because one had become a Dao Lord.

As for the death of the Dao Lords.

How should he put it? He felt that such existences would likely rise from the dead.

"Why? Fellow Daoist, you can think about it: all Dao Lords understand that one must collect the Great Dao of the other Dao Lords to achieve the Ultimate Dao Lord. In this situation, do you think the other Dao Lords would not strictly guard their own Great Dao to prevent them from being collected by other Dao Lords? The answer is affirmative, it is inevitable."

"In this situation, it is actually us shrimp soldiers and crab generals under the Dao Lords who have more of an opportunity, after all, the radiance of the Dao Lords radiates through the Great Void, and one can find the Great Dao of the various Dao Lords within it."

"Of course, the era has changed now; things are no longer what they were, the traces of the past no longer exist, and it is no longer the Dao Master Era of the past, so wanting to find the Great Dao of the various Dao Lords is even more troublesome."

Void said, sighing with emotion.

Li Heng nodded; that did make sense. After all, living beings are inherently selfish; if I cannot succeed, you shouldn't think about succeeding either—this mentality is universal. Anyway, he didn't know the Dao Lords, so he didn't mind speculating about them with the most malicious mindset.

If it were this kind of situation, then it would be even more interesting.

Because that would be equivalent to saying the Dao Lords really did hide backup plans.

Even now, when they themselves have passed away, those backup plans could still function, preventing other Dao Lords who might rise from the dead from obtaining their Great Dao.

Thinking about it this way, it is terrifying to contemplate.

It seems that whether they are dead or not, everything is under their surveillance?

"It seems this is a journey of collection destined to be extremely long." Li Heng did not comment too much on such information, whether it was correct or the pros and cons involved, but spoke directly about this aspect.

"Who's to say it isn't? Since the collapse of the Dao Master Era, we old fellows have been searching for the Great Dao left behind by the various Dao Lords without a moment's rest, but in terms of progress, it's not even halfway there."

Void Scale said with a bitter smile.

Of course, what he did not reveal was that since he traded two "Dao Lord Runes" from Li Heng, his progress here had already exceeded halfway.

"What if after collecting them all, I find I cannot achieve it?"

Li Heng asked curiously.

"If you can't achieve it, then you can't achieve it; anyway, collecting the Great Dao of the various Dao Lords is also beneficial to our cultivation. In short, it's something that has to be done." Void Scale was quite open-minded about this.

"Management Hub, is this Void correct?"

At this moment, Li Heng secretly conversed with the Management Hub, which had been silent. However, he did not pay much attention to this information; after all, the Great Dao of nine Dao Lords—who knows when that would be collected? By that time, he would have long been forever invincible.

Unless...

The Management Hub spoke up immediately.

"Li Heng, don't you dare have designs on me. Although I was indeed created by the joint efforts of the various Dao Lords, and even had the Great Dao Runes of multiple Dao Lords inscribed upon me, you cannot expect the Dao Lords to have inscribed the true essence of the Great Dao onto me as well."

"It doesn't matter; that doesn't affect the fact that you possess a portion of the Dao Lords' Great Dao," Li Heng responded with a smile.

The Management Hub was silent for a moment. Was he really this shameless?

It spoke up again, "Li Heng, didn't you say you weren't interested in the Dao Lords? Why are you suddenly interested now?"

"This isn't strange; interest is something that changes with a person's thoughts; how can it be fixed? Moreover, since I have already heard this information, I might as well do something while I'm at it. Who told you, the Management Hub, to be on my person?"

Li Heng responded with a smile.

Although he wasn't keen on it, it didn't stop him from doing something while he was at it.

The Management Hub was trembling with rage.

What has happened to the Great Void now? Can it still be saved? It is filled everywhere with oppression toward it, the Management Hub...

It really wanted to detach itself from Li Heng right now! But it didn't dare; after all, once it lost Li Heng's help to cover its Causality, it would be completely exposed to the Great Void, which would be even more troublesome.

"Fine, fine, this Void is somewhat reasonable. After all, the Great Dao of the nine Dao Lords perhaps also symbolizes the nine Great Void regions they governed; the nine combined into one is the true Great Void, and perhaps it really could give birth to even more terrifying power."

"Of course, that's just a possibility. You had best not hold any high expectations; perhaps this is just a trap set by some people with ulterior motives. This Void is what the Dao Lord said, but is there any evidence?"

The Management Hub responded listlessly; it knew very well that this guy Li Heng's gaze was once again cast upon it, peeping at those Great Dao Runes on its body.

"Then assuming it is true, you should know what to do?"

Li Heng laughed.

"I naturally know what you are thinking; you aren't even hiding it. But if you want to understand the Great Dao the Dao Lords left on me, you have to pay the corresponding price, just like a transaction."

The Management Hub said with great dissatisfaction.

"I have been protecting you all along, helping you bear the great Causality; isn't that a transaction? Or do you want to ignore this part of mine? Don't forget, you still haven't told me some heavyweight information; compared to Void Scale, you are still far too lacking."

He began to employ rhetoric to hoodwink this Management Hub.
