Chapter 641: Inviting the World to Attain the Dao Together!

~15 min read 2,806 words

The words of Ren Yidao resounded through Heaven and Earth, causing every place they reached to fall into a deep silence.

The world grew quiet at this moment.

"This..."

"What is he saying?"

"Inviting us to Ascend to Immortality together?"

"This... ah?"

He... what is he doing?

Countless people felt bewildered, some unable to grasp what Ren Yidao's true purpose was at this moment.

He was clearly only one step away from the Immortal Realm, about to Ascend to Immortality, becoming the first Immortal God in the Earthly Realm since ancient times!

But why did he stop at this moment?

Not only that, he even wanted to invite everyone with the potential to attain the Dao to Ascend to Immortality together?

Does he not understand that the first person to Ascend to Immortality would enjoy the greatest benefits, and even the opportunities acknowledged by Heaven and Earth?

Why would he willingly hand over this benefit to others?

Facing Ren Yidao's abrupt and generous invitation, those qualified to attain the Dao were not excited because they had finally waited for an opportunity, but were instead suspicious.

Deeply suspicious.

"Could it be, is there a trap?"

"Is the matter of Ascending to Immortality a scam?"

Is there some conspiracy hidden within this?

Could it be that the first person to Ascend to Immortality will encounter some secret sabotage?

Why, why would he come to me? Why does he forgo the benefits instead of keeping them all for himself?

Having such thoughts is perfectly normal.

Faced with such an invitation that seems to offer such generous treatment, a normal person's first reaction would be suspicion.

When something is abnormal, there must be a demon.

Is there a trap?

Some people who did not know Ren Yidao even regarded him as a co-conspirator of the Immortal Gods, feeling that all the previous events were merely a grand performance coordinated with the Immortal Gods, waiting for the final harvest.

Thinking this way, the previously baffling aspects were also explained.

Ah, so that's how it is!

I knew it, the Immortal Gods couldn't be that weak, how could they be so easily slaughtered? It turns out it was all acting!

What "person ascending to immortality," they are just a lackey of the Immortal Gods.

Even, he himself is one of the Immortal Gods!

People only want to believe what they already believe; even if they encounter something unreasonable, they will fill in the gaps with a reasonable answer of their own.

These people were extremely wary of Ren Yidao, hiding their own aura even more stealthily, not letting anyone detect them.

Ren Yidao could guess a thing or two about these people's thoughts, but he had no intention of explaining himself.

Explain what? What is there to explain?

Ren Yidao himself had not included these people in his calculations.

What he wanted to help at this moment were those who were willing to believe in him and those potential existences who could become allies in the future.

And most of these people knew him and had some understanding of him.

Yet even those who knew Ren Yidao, who knew his background and past experiences, were somewhat confused at this moment.

They did not understand why Ren Yidao would make such a generous move.

Although this person was exceptionally gifted and had the bearing of one who could Ascend to Immortality, he was not a person of a charitable nature.

To sum it up in one sentence: he is a heaven-gifted talent, not a villain, but not necessarily a good person either.

From the first day a cultivator begins their practice, it is a cruel process of fighting against Heaven, fighting against the Earth, and fighting against people; they had already become accustomed to such laws.

But now, someone who had reached the step of Ascending to Immortality was suddenly willing to share their results with others.

Why on earth is this?

And regarding the confusion in their hearts, Ren Yidao was still willing to explain a little.

"Regarding Ren's invitation, you may have some slight doubts in your hearts."

"Wondering why Ren would do this? Is there some conspiracy or trickery involved? Why..."

Ren Yidao listed many possibilities, speaking to the hearts of many, but just as everyone thought he was about to explain, he changed his tone and said indifferently:

"If you ask me, these questions are all meaningless."

"It's all bullshit."

He sneered, his brows lightly raised, and retorted:

"Have you ever thought about how many senior experts before Ren were unable to break through because the Heavenly Dao was flawed, rather than because their aptitude was insufficient?"

Is Ascending to Immortality and becoming a god really that difficult?

It is difficult, there is no doubt about that.

However, it is not difficult to that extent.

From the number of Immortal Gods who ambushed Ren Yidao, one can see that in ancient times, although Immortal Gods were rare—one in countless living beings—they were not unique.

Their numbers were not high, but they could definitely not be considered scarce.

It was just a realm on the path of cultivation, the peak known to the world.

But for the cultivators after the world changed, what does the Ascension Realm mean?

Is it one in ten thousand? One in ten million?

None of that.

It is the unattainable.

It is the extravagant hope that, no matter what is paid, remains unattainable.

It is... the hopelessness of Chang Sheng.

It is the fact that time eventually has an end.

It is the graying hair and aged face, it is the fact that youth will eventually wither, it is the decay and old age that will arrive no matter what.

The threshold for Ascension has trapped countless heroes.

"How many people have Fallen into Demon and collapsed because of this? How many people have given everything for this? How many people have committed heinous, demonic acts to find a way out?"

Ren Yidao's voice carried a hint of mockery as he smilingly questioned those qualified individuals who were tempted but hesitant.

"Now that such an opportunity is before you, will you really give it up?"

"At this moment, when such an opportunity is finally laid out before you, will you really be willing to give it up?"

"Will you really give it up?"

And the answer had long since been clear.

Ren Yidao spoke the answer in their hearts for them.

"You will not."

"Even if there is a grand conspiracy behind this act of Ren's, you all will still rush forward in a swarm."

A drowning person will not let go of any straw.

And this group of people has been submerged by the water for thousands of years.

"Furthermore, even if Ren did not invite you all to attain the Dao together at this moment, you would still secretly attempt it while Ren is attracting the attention of the Immortal God."

Before Ren Yidao extended the invitation, were there not people secretly attempting to break through the Ascension Tribulation?

There were, there were plenty!

When Ren Yidao was undergoing the Tribulation, those with keen senses already understood that Heaven and Earth had changed; that once-insurmountable barrier was no longer a despair!

It was just that they did not have strength as great as Ren Yidao's, and had no way to openly clash head-on with the Immortal God, so they could only be careful and more careful, terrified that exposing even a little would invite a fatal disaster.

Some among them were only one step behind Ren Yidao and had also prepared to undergo the Ascension Tribulation, waiting only for a suitable opportunity.

Even if they understood that doing so would invite the prying eyes of the Immortal God and invite the killing intent of death, they were fearless.

Some people did it for Chang Sheng.

For this, they had waited too long, far too long.

And some people did it to attain the Dao.

To hear the Dao in the morning, one can die without regret in the evening.

Everyone's purpose for Ascension was different, but their obsession was equally astonishing.

"Since that is the case, why shouldn't I, Ren, go with the flow and take the initiative to protect you all, which would also allow you all to owe me a favor."

"What do you all think of this explanation? Can it put your hearts at ease?"

Ren Yidao chuckled, leisurely killing three of the five surviving Immortal God, leaving only the Purple Lightning Thunder Venerable and Yun Yuan Daojun, who were immersed in the illusion, to continue fighting.

Ren Yidao did not say anything, but his exaggerated demeanor of leisurely controlling the life and death of the Immortal God spoke volumes in silence, making the eyelids of many twitch wildly.

They began to ponder a question... if the other party truly wanted to take their lives, would it really require so much effort?

To just do it directly, wouldn't that be faster?

Where would there be a need to waste so many words with you all!

"Furthermore, I must ask, since when in this world has only Ren been qualified for Ascension?"

After silently demonstrating his strength, Ren Yidao restrained his smile, his expression becoming more serious, and he said softly:

"The heroes of the world come from our generation; you all are the future."

"What Immortal God, they are nothing but bones in a grave."

"Are you truly willing to watch those old things that popped out from who knows where snatch away your opportunities?"

Ren Yidao's questioning was deafening, causing Heaven and Earth to fall into silence once again.

"..." The Immortal God remained silent; even though they were insulted directly by name, no one appeared to refute him.

It was meaningless.

Appearing at this moment was meaningless, other than forming a blood feud with Ren Yidao.

Ren Yidao's Ascension was a foregone conclusion; no one without eyes would be stupid enough to step out at this time.

Since this fellow was willing to take some verbal advantage, it didn't matter, let him be.

But once the Thunder Tribulation that made them wary dissipated from around him, and once the Immortal God returned to their peak state, someone would go to teach him how to remain humble in front of his seniors.

As for now... heh, let him be arrogant for a while.

And compared to the Immortal God who had lowered their flags and ceased their drums, choosing to watch coldly from the sidelines, those existences who were originally still hesitating had been completely persuaded.

That's right, what was there to hesitate about?

"With Ren's protection, if you all do not ascend now, when will you?"

The youth said no more, but instead chuckled and issued an invitation to the world once again.

"Do not secretly look for opportunities anymore; display it openly for them to see."

"I would like to see who dares to be this obstacle to the Dao."

The bones of nearly ten Immortal God were not even cold yet!

Would any hot-headed fools appear?

Huhu is also looking forward to it!

"Those who wish to attain the Dao, head to the Beiming Divine Continent; let us all ascend together today!"

Ren Yidao's strength was not yet so vast and boundless that he could protect the path-seekers of the entire world; he could only protect these people from the encroachment of the Immortal Gods within his own small patch of land.

At this moment, an interesting scene appeared between Heaven and Earth.

Many places within the Beiming Divine Continent made a response!

Yaoyue, who was closest to Ren Yidao, was the first to respond to her disciple's call.

She had waited for too long, and her accumulation was already too profound; she had long since possessed the qualifications for Ascending to Immortality.

As the thought arose, the Thunder Tribulation arrived.

Although it could not compare to Ren Yidao in terms of momentum, it was still two types of Imperial Tribulations intersecting, comparable to the reappearance of the Heavenly Gods of the ancient era.

From the Sword Casting Hut, Wanhua Valley, Wentian City, and even some remote mountain forests, fluctuations emerged.

They understood Ren Yidao the best, trusted him the most, and were more willing to believe his current statement.

They took the gamble.

Even... hmm, fluctuations emerged from the Qingzhuan Dojo of the Divine Path Sect.

A certain old fellow surnamed Sikong would not let this opportunity to continue his Role-playing pass, and he still wanted to keep up the act.

And in other places, the situation was somewhat different.

The Western Desert Divine Continent was silent.

Everyone knew that a Fox Immortal guarded this place, having not only seized the Heaven of the Western Desert but also successfully replaced Buddhism, directly enjoying the Incense inheritance of the entire Western Desert alone.

The Immortal Gods were extremely jealous of this, wishing they could sit in that position themselves and feast on the Incense of the Earthly Realm.

But envy was envy, and jealousy was jealousy; when it came to actually letting them go and fight for it, no one dared to show their face.

They did not even dare to attack in a group as they were doing today.

There was no other reason; that Fox Immortal did not count for much, and her strength looked average, but what truly made them wary was the Demon Buddha hidden behind her.

Some time had passed since the events of that year, and some had already recognized the identity of the Demon Buddha; they were very clear about His past and understood very well why He had committed the act of destroying Buddhism.

Although there were people who had had friendships with the Demon Buddha back then, they did not dare to easily try to climb the relationship at this time; the Demon Buddha refused to communicate with any old acquaintances, and no one could be certain of His current state.

A demon who could even destroy his own sect—could you still expect Him to make any promises to you?

No one here dared to act rashly; those qualified to seek the Dao had either been wiped out or had long since fled to other places.

And in the Southern Border Divine Continent, only one person responded to Ren Yidao's call.

Violent fluctuations emerged within the Divine Emperor Palace, affecting the entire Southern Border; all the remaining powerhouses stood guard outside the palace, ready with various Supreme Treasures to deal with the Immortal Gods that might arrive.

There were even fluctuations in the Overseas Divine Continent!

The Demon Emperor City trembled with a boom, and the corpse of the Phoenix Demon God, which had been silent for thousands of years, suddenly emitted a clear phoenix cry, causing the countless Demon Beasts it carried on its back to collapse to the ground.

Huang Huang stood within the Demon Emperor Palace, closed her eyes with peace of mind, and charged toward the realm of the Demon God with all her might.

And by her side, Ren Yidao was smiling lightly as he stood guard for her, preparing to deal with any danger that might appear.

When Ren Yidao broke through to the Heaven Realm, he gained a connection with his avatar located in the Overseas Divine Continent and informed Huang Huang of the current situation.

But only the Eastern Wasteland Divine Continent was completely quiet.

The entire world fell into a deathly silence.

No one responded.

No one even dared to rush to the Eastern Wasteland to seek shelter at this moment!

Because the Immortal Gods were watching them, waiting for them to show their heads.

This place had no powerhouses to guard the region, and secondly, because the loose management style of the Royal Court could not gather all its strength into one point, it was completely unable to resist the reviving Immortal Gods and had now become the base camp for many Immortal Gods to descend into the Earthly Realm.

Many people in the Eastern Wasteland prepared to respond, but they also noticed the malicious aura of the Immortal Gods and could only suppress the impulse in their hearts with unwillingness.

But just when all the Eastern Wasteland cultivators thought no one would dare to show their head, a crazed voice rang out from the dense forests of the Eastern Wasteland.

The voice sounded like crying and laughing, like a man and like a woman, as if it were mixed with countless types of voices.

"Ascending to Immortality!"

"No, that's not right!"

"Hehe, I want to become a god!"

"The Barbarian God is above! No! The Barbarian God is gone! I, I am the Barbarian God!"

"I want to become the new Barbarian God!"

"My fellow tribesmen!!!"

"Please witness this!"

"I will become the new Barbarian God!!!"
