Chapter 93: Heavenly Dao: The Clown Is Actually Me

"The path of the Supreme Heaven?"

"Can I, too, have the path of the Supreme?"

"This is impossible; everything has its fixed number, and the rules also have extensions. If I need to advance, I must follow the set order; how can there be any talk of the Supreme?"

The incarnation of the Heavenly Dao was stunned and said unconsciously.

Even the Heavenly Dao, which has no emotions, now felt as if its brain were buzzing.

"Everything has its fixed number?"

"If everything has its fixed number, why is Nuwa not a Sage?"

"If everything has its fixed number, why do the trajectories of the Demon Clan and the Witch Clan differ from the original?"

"I have come, therefore, everything must change."

Li Mo said calmly.

"Human strength can overcome Heaven; the fixed number? It is merely a false acceptance of fate. If one does not accept it, one can transcend the fixed number."

"What you say about advancement is even more ridiculous. Advancement? How to advance? Perfecting the rules? Or does the world become stronger as living beings become stronger?"

Li Mo's consecutive words left the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao somewhat silent, as if it did not know how to answer.

After a long while, the Heavenly Dao opened its mouth and said indifferently, "Yes, the order of our realm is already set; now only the cycle of the Earth Dao remains. If the cycle appears in the world, our realm will be completely perfected, and the layer of status will advance one small step."

"Thus, afterwards, as long as living beings become stronger, under their nourishment, our realm will naturally cycle and grow stronger, becoming increasingly powerful until it transforms."

This is the evolution of Honghuang, and also the evolutionary process of all other layers in the heavens and myriad realms; beyond this, the Heavenly Dao could not imagine what so-called path of the Supreme was available.

"Oh?"

Thinking of something, Li Mo smiled. "Setting aside whether doing so can promote Honghuang's advancement, let me ask you one thing: do you truly believe there is still a possibility that living beings will become stronger and nourish Honghuang in the future?"

"What do you mean by this!?"

The Heavenly Dao said with surprise and doubt.

"Supreme Hongjun."

Li Mo spat out two words.

"Supreme Hongjun..."

In the eyes of the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, countless runes seemed to flash, as if it were deducing the meaning of what Li Mo had just said.

"The Great Calamity was arranged by you and Supreme Hongjun together, wasn't it?"

"Yes."

The Heavenly Dao admitted directly.

There was nothing to be ashamed of in admitting this; for the living beings of Honghuang, the Great Calamity was mysterious beyond measure, but for their layer, it was merely a script.

"What is the essence of the Witch-Demon Great Calamity?"

Li Mo said calmly.

"The Witch and Demon clans were too powerful, and their impact on Honghuang could not be underestimated; if this continued for long, they would form a new set of the Three Clans that opened the heavens. Therefore, the two clans must decline, and the Human Clan must rise to bring new vitality to Honghuang."

After thinking for a moment, the Heavenly Dao spoke of the Witch-Demon Great Calamity.

Given the layer of the one standing before, there was no harm in saying it; it did not matter whether heavenly secrets were revealed, after all, his layer of status far surpassed Honghuang by a great margin.

"Then why must the Buzhou Mountain be knocked down?"

Li Mo asked with a smile.

"... To eliminate the influence of Resurrect Pangu and cause the Witch Clan to decline completely."

The Heavenly Dao's pupils contracted; it did not expect Li Mo to know the details of the Great Calamity, but considering his mysterious nature, it felt relieved and gave an explanation.

"Eliminate the influence of Resurrect Pangu..." Li Mo murmured, seemingly praising, "A good explanation."

Immediately, Li Mo voiced the speculation he had made during his earlier conversation with Nuwa.

Did the influence of Resurrect Pangu really need to be eliminated?

Not necessarily!

If Resurrect Pangu truly returned, Honghuang would not only gain a powerful being but also burst forth with new vitality; after all, the layer of Resurrect Pangu was no joke, and from near to far, the impact would be enormous.

If so, why must the resurrection of Resurrect Pangu be prevented?

"..."

The Heavenly Dao fell silent.

"Furthermore, to eliminate the influence of Resurrect Pangu, the Buzhou Mountain was shattered, causing the space of Honghuang to become unstable, and thus causing spiritual energy to transform from innate to acquired; was this also to strengthen Honghuang?"

Li Mo continued.

"..."

The Heavenly Dao opened its mouth and said dryly, "This can stabilize the structure of Honghuang and promote its evolution."

"Then, what about the subsequent Investiture of the Gods Great Calamity?"

Li Mo continued.

"That was to eliminate the influence of the Sages and give all living beings a chance to progress."

The Heavenly Dao's spirit trembled, and it immediately said.

If you mention this, I won't be sleepy anymore; can there be any problem with this?

Then, Li Mo waved his hand, using the Great Time-Space Technique combined with the Honghuang novels he had read in his past life, to present the scene where Shangqing set up the Sword Formation of the Four Slaughterers, causing Honghuang to shatter.

Then, there was no then.

The Heavenly Dao fell silent, and its face seemed to turn slightly green.

"Honghuang shattered and reformed, causing severe damage to heaven and earth; this, too, is to eliminate influence and allow for the possibility of progress?"

Li Mo asked.

"..."

The Heavenly Dao fell silent once more.

"Furthermore, regarding the Dragon-Han Calamity, did the struggle between the Dao and the Demons truly benefit the Primordial World? Was the shattering of the Western spiritual veins truly not intentional, but merely a coincidence?"

"Looking back on the Witch-Demon Calamity, both clans were immensely powerful, yet if the price for their decline was the near-total annihilation of their elite, does this truly serve to greatly increase the Primordial World's foundation rather than diminish it?"

Li Mo said calmly.
