Chapter 373

"Your Excellency's capabilities fill me with deep admiration. Without Your Excellency's guidance, I fear I would never have conceived of this method in an eternity."

"Compared to Your Excellency, we, the myriad beings of Honghuang, and indeed the entire heavens and myriad realms, possess a gap in vision and scope that is unimaginable, regardless of our cultivation base."

The Heavenly Dao sighed with emotion.

"Oh? Why was 'above the heavens' not included?"

Li Mo chuckled lightly and said.

Come to think of it, Li Mo had also noticed.

In his past life, he was ultimately a mortal. Even if he had read countless novels, even if he possessed boundless ingenuity regarding Honghuang, the fact that such magnificent paths to supremacy existed, and were logically so perfect, was somewhat strange.

It was as if those transmigrators were asked to think of them; could they have come up with it?

Just because I can think of it, does that mean I can do it too?

You are overthinking it.

He was merely one of the myriad beings of Li Li; his field was worlds apart from that of these giants, so where would he get the imagination to manifest such things?

According to Li Mo's estimation, it was likely the transformation brought about subconsciously by his innate divine ability, or rather, his talent-based divine ability.

Just like the principle of words becoming law and the cycle of cause and effect, perceived and realized in the mysterious void, thus spoken, and thereby becoming a maxim.

As for whether this is truly so, one can only know when the level is higher and one reaches that domain; for now, there is no need to think so much, as it holds little significance.

"My understanding is limited to within the heavens; I have never understood what lies above the heavens and cannot speak of it. To speak without basis would be mere flattery and to Ma Pi Your Excellency."

"I am an honest Heavenly Dao and cannot do such a thing, even though I feel that no one above the heavens can compare with you."

The Heavenly Dao said earnestly.

"Haha, you are quite amusing."

Hearing what the Heavenly Dao said, Li Mo could not help but laugh heartily.

Indeed, only if living beings possess the seven emotions and six desires are they amusing; if it were as before, how could the Heavenly Dao have spoken such words?

He felt increasingly expectant of the future.

For instance, what would it be like if the Heavenly Dao fully awakened spiritual intelligence and possessed the seven emotions and six desires? What kind of personality would it have?

I imagine it would be very interesting.

"Enough, let us speak of serious matters."

Li Mo said calmly.

"Yes."

The Heavenly Dao became serious.

"From existence to non-existence, existence and non-existence are quantified into one. When the supreme rule belonging to Honghuang and to you emerges, it is a transformation, and also Hongmeng. As I said, it is the Hongmeng Dao."

"And at that time, the first step of the second stage of the supreme Heavenly Dao will be considered complete."

"From non-existence to existence, from existence to non-existence. If one is the source point, guarded by the Hongmeng Dao, it is necessary to re-evolve the three thousand rules and three thousand Daos belonging to Honghuang."

"These three thousand Daos are all extensions of the Hongmeng Dao; thus, they will exist independently outside the heavens and will be entirely different from those three thousand Daos. They are the New Dao, the three thousand Daos unique to Honghuang."

"If one reaches this stage, then the second step of the second stage of the path of the supreme Heavenly Dao is achieved."

Having spoken thus, Li Mo paused slightly. As his voice fell, the many strange phenomena and mysteries in heaven and earth gradually dispersed, leaving only faint echoes of Daoist sounds reverberating, truly boundless and ineffably wonderful.

"This is only the second step?"

After a long while, the Heavenly Dao avatar came to its senses, a trace of shock and astonishment remaining in its eyes, and said in disbelief.

The second step already evolves the three thousand Daos???

Crucially, judging by this one's words, this is not even the entirety of the second stage?

Is there more to follow???

The Heavenly Dao avatar's lips moved for a long time without being able to speak, and it even began to doubt life itself.

As for the shock, that goes without saying; this is the path of supremacy, so shock is entirely reasonable and very normal; there is nothing to be surprised about.

"Do you understand?"

Seeing the Heavenly Dao avatar come to its senses, Li Mo said slowly.

"Your Excellency, I understand, I understand, and I know what to do. It's just... there seems to be more to the second stage?"

The Heavenly Dao avatar asked cautiously.

"Of course there is. Each stage represents a closed loop, completing all necessary matters. Now is merely the beginning; the closed loop is indefinitely far off, so how could it be considered complete?"

Li Mo said calmly.

"..."

The Heavenly Dao was numb.

Its entire being was paralyzed.

Especially upon hearing Li Mo say it was indefinitely far off, it almost fainted on the spot, its expression utterly bitter.

How much time it would take to fuse rules and extend the Dao goes without saying; that is manageable. The key is the primordial essence; how much primordial essence would this consume?

Unfathomable!

Unimaginable!

This is already absurd and exaggerated.

The Heavenly Dao reasoned that if it gritted its teeth, it could endure it; it was merely a matter of how long it would take.

But there is more?

Again?

It felt that even after several derivative eras, it would likely be unable to complete this second stage.

Difficult, too difficult, this!

"Your Excellency, the primordial essence required for this second stage is too much; the difficulty is too high and too unimaginable. If this is the case, I do not know how long it will take to complete. If truly so, when the time of turmoil comes, I fear I will be the weakest one."

The Avatar of the Heavenly Dao said with a frown.

Originally, His emotional evolution had been relatively slow, but after seeing Li Mo, He suddenly realized that the speed of His emotional extension was damnably astonishing!

"The path of the Heavenly Dao is inherently different from the path of living beings. The Heavenly Dao is supreme, gathering great power across the entire plane, while living beings merely gather great power within their own bodies; the difficulty is naturally entirely different."

"If Hongjun and the others complete the first stage, at best they become supreme across the myriad heavens, but if you complete the second stage, your status can transcend the myriad heavens."

"Even at the second step, one is already approaching the realm of supreme across the myriad heavens; naturally, the consumption of this origin is different."

Li Mo spoke with a faint smile on his face.

"...."

The Avatar of the Heavenly Dao made a bitter face.

The logic is this logic, and the fact is indeed this fact.

The key point is, this is still hard to accept.

No, to speak accurately, it should be that his scalp is tingling.

He didn't care about the cultivation itself; in fact, he could accept it taking a bit longer.

The key is that the gap is too huge; where can He get so much origin? Even suppressing hundreds of millions of planes wouldn't be enough; isn't this quite despairing?

"What's the rush? Since this Seat has asked you to do this, there is naturally a shortcut for you to take."

Seeing the Avatar of the Heavenly Dao in this state, Li Mo stopped joking and said with a smile.

"I earnestly request Your Venerable One to point out the way."

The spirit of the Avatar of the Heavenly Dao trembled; immediately, He was no longer worried, no longer troubled, and looked at Li Mo with bright eyes.

"Supreme... Honghuang!"

Under the gaze of the Avatar of the Heavenly Dao, Li Mo spoke calmly and unhurriedly.

"Supreme Honghuang?"

The pupils of the Avatar of the Heavenly Dao contracted slightly; then, as if realizing something, His eyes gradually began to brighten.

"I understand..."

"What I lack is origin, and in Supreme Honghuang, what is least lacking is origin!"

"Supreme Honghuang extends and projects countless planes beneath it; the Honghuang planes are infinite, and even the myriad heavens where we reside, or other myriad heavens, all possess planes evolved by Supreme Honghuang."

"I can... steal the origin of Supreme Honghuang!"

"If using the origin of countless Honghuang planes, it is sufficient to cover all consumption; furthermore, the entire process of the second stage can be completed in the shortest time!"

The Avatar of the Heavenly Dao murmured to himself; speaking to the end, his speed increased faster and faster, and his eyes became even brighter.

"The origin required for the first step of the second stage is not too great; with the origin evolved by the current promotion of Honghuang plus your cooperation with Hongjun, it is sufficient to complete it within a short time."

"If Honghuang constructs the supreme rules of the Hongmeng Dao, its status will far transcend the myriad Dao of the myriad heavens."

"And when the Honghuang plane promotes to the Supreme Small Thousand Realm, its origin is already sealed; the plane is a seamless whole, detached from everything, not entering fate, not entering cause and effect, not entering concepts; whatever is traced cannot be found, and even Supreme Honghuang is like this."
