Chapter 417: The Source of All Order! Supreme Causality! The Collapse of the Heavens?
"Beginning from the One, it evolves into boundless order."
"This is the path of the Supreme Order."
"Transform your own Dao fruit into a single order, your core order, and then expand from this core order."
"Order merges with all things."
"Take the Great Dao of Fire as an example; if it merges with order, it can generate the laws you need."
"For instance, fire cannot be touched, or it will burn; this is order."
"Moving to other orders, if three thousand orders are gathered, then your path of Supreme Order has initially formed."
"Afterwards, you must Nirvana all these orders and unify them into one."
"From One becoming three thousand, and from three thousand returning to One; if you reach this state, the path of Supreme Order is fully accomplished."
"If you reach this point, you will have a deep realization of the path of Order, be as comfortable as a fish in water, and can proceed to this final step."
"Derive, Order!"
Li Mo said indifferently.
Every word was spat into the Golden Lotus, every sentence transformed into the Great Dao; at a single glance, it seemed the myriad paths of the heavens and myriad realms were reflected around Li Mo.
If a majestic heavenly power shone down, as if brilliant divine light swept across, at a single glance Li Mo seemed to have become the master of the order of the heavens and myriad realms, as if everything was established by Li Mo and all things extended from Li Mo.
Mysterious and yet more mysterious, wonderful and yet more wonderful, beyond words, indescribable.
Beyond the reach of sight, beyond the vision of the eye; it seemed that even a single glance would destroy the soul and spirit, too much to bear.
Under the backdrop of endless glorious light, Li Mo appeared even more profound and unfathomable.
The authority of the Fire of Life slowly rotated; waves of profound and creative power swept from Li Mo's body, and wherever they touched, transformation seemed to occur.
Even heaven and earth seemed to undergo some change, as if new mysteries had appeared beneath this Fire of Life.
And the great giants were even more so; even though it was not their own Dao, they were all intoxicated, as if Dao sounds echoed in their sea of consciousness, and with every rising wave came realization and purification.
"The path of Order... the path of Order..."
"My core of Order is... Chaos!"
"Chaos contains all, accommodates everything."
"If used as a vessel, it can evolve all orders and encompass all roots!"
His eyes brightened; many realizations flashed through Tie Lu's heart, and finally, as if fate had struck his mind, he blurted it out.
"Chaos... a good idea, indeed excellent."
Li Mo praised.
Hongmeng, Chaos, Taichu, Yin and Yang... anything possessing inclusiveness or devouring power can serve as a starting point; this is not important, nor does it need to be overly significant; one simply follows one's own thoughts and realizations, and there is no hindrance.
The Order Demon God was nurtured by Chaos and also grew from Chaos; if Chaos is used as the core to evolve Order, this fits perfectly, as if it were already destined by heaven in the unseen.
"Venerable One, I have understood all of the foregoing and know what to do."
"Order merges between heaven, earth, and all things."
"I hold Order, thus defining the order of all things in the world and all Great Daos."
"The three thousand Great Daos all lie between fusion and devouring with me, thereby establishing my Order and rules upon each fundamental Great Dao."
"However, what does this final step you mentioned, 'Deriving Order,' mean? I do not quite understand."
Taking a deep breath, many thoughts flashed through; after a moment of thought, Tie Lu bowed deeply and asked respectfully.
"Derive Order, evolve Order."
"Three thousand as the beginning, evolve all, encompass everything."
"All things in the world, everything that exists, has laws of Order, and all are contained within Order."
"If heaven and earth suppress, making it difficult to exert full strength, this is Order."
"If someone defies heaven, then heavenly retribution strikes; this is also Order."
"If floods rage, causing suffering to all living beings, this is also Order."
"Order is everywhere; nothing is outside it."
"This is Deriving Order."
Li Mo said calmly.
"Omnipresent... everywhere..."
Tie Lu pondered thoughtfully.
"Starting from the Great Dao, evolve into boundless all."
"The Great Dao is the foundation and also the beginning; if it is merely the three thousand Great Daos, it cannot cover every aspect and all roots and things, therefore Deriving Order is needed."
"Each Great Dao will have extensions; the extensions of all Great Daos together summarize all orders and aspects."
"Just as the Great Dao gives rise to minor Daos, this is what I need to do: first realize the three thousand Great Daos, then refine the three thousand Great Daos."
"Through the realization of the three thousand Great Daos, I gain a deeper understanding; thus, on this basis, I can extend, evolve, derive my own laws, and summarize all orders."
If a second, it seemed an eternity.
In a trance, it seemed endless ages had passed for Tie Lu; though in reality only an instant, it felt like boundless time, causing Tie Lu to gain many realizations, as if suddenly enlightened and completely clear, and he could not help but murmur to himself.
It was as if he was deducing for himself, or as if he was stating his own thoughts.
"Excellent; this is Deriving Order."
"Evolving from the three thousand Great Daos, if one Dao gives rise to three thousand, and three thousand transform into the boundless."
