Chapter 654: Who Brought It (A Year Since the Book Was Published)

Ren Yidao actually did not truly need Ren Huan to serve as his Dao God.

Although Ren Huan's strength would in all likelihood exceed that of the Heavenly Fox, the current Ren Yidao no longer needed the assistance of others.

Letting Ren Huan become his Dao God was more like a small, tacit understanding between the two that both knew in their hearts but neither would explicitly state.

Since you no longer have any connection to this world, then I shall be the connection between you and this world.

Furthermore, this could also help Ren Huan recover his strength; it was killing two birds with one stone.

This was actually equivalent to Ren Yidao unilaterally giving Ren Huan a blood transfusion, letting Him parasitize his own body; it was a losing business... but when the two's Divine Souls truly merged together, Ren Yidao was stunned.

He encountered a situation he had never thought of before.

"This..."

【"Hmm? What's wrong with you?"】

With their Divine Souls connected, Ren Huan was still adapting to this strange sensation, and suddenly noticing that Ren Yidao was extremely surprised, He asked with some concern:

【"Is there something disadvantageous to you? If that is the case, do not force it; I can take my time..."】

He was somewhat worried; if He caused harm to Ren Yidao because of Himself, that was something He could not accept.

"No, it has nothing to do with that, don't worry. If there really were a problem, I would tell you." Ren Yidao reassured Him, then said with some strangeness: "No, can you not feel it?"

【"Feel what? You should just speak plainly."】 Seeing that Ren Yidao was surprised but not troubled, Ren Huan set His mind at ease.

【"If you are fine, then I will fall into a deep sleep first. Suddenly coming into contact with the complex information on your side, I am a bit overwhelmed and need to rest for a while."】

"Hmm, since you cannot feel it, then forget it. Rest well and strive to wake up soon."

【"Hmm..."】

As Ren Huan completely sank into a deep slumber, Ren Yidao scratched his head in confusion and muttered to himself:

"This really is a strange matter..."

Although Ren Huan was completely unaware, he had felt a summons.

This power of summons did not originate from Ren Huan, but from the past.

He had formed a connection with the past.

To be precise, it was from before the ancient times, even more distant than what he had seen before, but closer than the meeting at Xian Fa Lin.

The remote antiquity was calling to him!

Ren Yidao had an anchor point in that savage, remote antiquity era where humans and demons were in opposition.

He had a feeling that as long as he further deduced his current Ten Thousand Generations Art, he could return to the remote antiquity era just like he had returned to the ancient times before!

"How did a connection with remote antiquity form just like this? Then what was the point of all my previous efforts?"

He had previously tried to form an anchor point with the past, but none had succeeded, and he had thought it was because the Ten Thousand Generations Art was incomplete, waiting to continue the deduction.

Yet this unintentional act had unexpectedly succeeded, forming a connection with the remote antiquity era and leaving behind an indestructible, solid anchor point.

This really was a case of "planting flowers intentionally but they don't bloom, while planting a willow branch unintentionally makes it grow into shade."

However, the exploration of this anchor point would have to wait for a while, at least until Ren Huan woke up so he could discuss it with Him in detail.

Furthermore, Ren Yidao still needed to further deduce the Ten Thousand Generations Art, striving to be able to autonomously control the timing of his comings and goings.

In any case, there was still some time before the Dao Fruit completely descended into the world, enough for him to think it over slowly and plan gradually.

"Before that, let's just deal with some troublesome matters first."

"Although it's just a small trouble, it is a trouble nonetheless." Ren Yidao stood up and took a step forward; his figure vanished instantly, and by the time he appeared again, he was already inside Chongzhou City.

The Divine Path Sect's Great Array protecting the sect was tightly guarded, and after the Immortal Gods revived, it was no longer hidden, fully activated, and revealed an Ascension Realm-level Great Array, sufficient to block any ill-intentioned prying.

However, this Great Array could block outsiders, but it could not block Ren Yidao.

In fact, ever since Ren Yidao stepped into the Ascension Realm, there were very few arrays between Heaven and Earth that could block him.

With the Freedom Great Dao as his foundation and the Ten Thousand Generations Walker as his supplement, even the River of Time could barely block him.

The Heaven is great and the Earth is great, nothing can block him.

After arriving in Chongzhou City, Ren Yidao did not choose to make a big splash, but instead walked through the streets and alleys of the small city just like an ordinary person.

The hour was still early and the daylight had just broken, but the entire city had already awakened.

Small merchants and peddlers set up stalls to hawk their wares along the street, pedestrians were busy rushing about for their livelihoods, carriages passed by, some stopped in front of vendors, and some held up wooden paintings of white foxes to introduce them to others...

All kinds of hawking, conversations, and arguments entered his ears in a jumble.

And Ren Yidao also turned into one of them, casually buying some food to eat as he walked, and also casually buying an amulet painted with a white fox, leisurely feeling the atmosphere around him.

The smoke and fire of human life.

For cultivators, a glorious and brilliant great age was about to arrive.

But for mortals, the world had not actually changed much; it was just that after that day, they felt their bodies were better and their days were a bit more comfortable.

They were like people from two worlds, living in the same world.

The Immortal Gods fought endlessly, while the mortal smoke and fire continued unabated.

Ren Yidao now belonged to the ranks of the Immortal Gods, but he was more willing to view himself as an ordinary mortal.

If there were an opportunity before him that allowed Ren Yidao to choose again to be like a mortal, to marry and have children, to experience a lifetime, and finally to die of old age on his bed surrounded by others.

Then, he certainly... would not choose such a life.

Envy is envy, but one thing is one thing.

Don't be ridiculous.

Having finally attained longevity, how could there be any reason to return to being a mortal!

Having cultivated bitterly for a lifetime, wasn't it just for the sake of longevity and freedom, not being bound by life and death?

It was fine that I was short-lived before I cultivated the Dao, but if I were still a short-lived ghost after I finished cultivating the Dao... then wouldn't I have cultivated the Dao in vain?

What kind of heaven-defying nonsense is that!

Admittedly, one must acknowledge that some people can do this, which only shows that their realm is unreachable and their Dao practice is unfathomable!

Huhu is of low cultivation and merely a vulgar mortal; I cannot be mentioned in the same breath as people of such noble character, so I will pass.

Ren Yidao knew very well that only by possessing sufficient strength could he protect everything he currently had.

Only then would he have the ability to strive for a better future for them.

After wandering for quite a while, Ren Yidao finally stopped at a familiar location.

He looked up at the plaque above the entrance, smiled, and strode inside.

He walked into the Zuixian Small Pavilion, yet he was not seen by a single person; everyone ignored his existence.

Ren Yidao arrived at the main hall, sat down in the very spot where he had first met Shi Anqi, picked up the wine pot on the table, and leisurely poured himself a drink.

While pouring the wine, he spoke to himself without turning his head:

"Stop pretending; this is within your line of sight, and I know you noticed me."

"Since you have already discovered me, why not let your Incarnation come out to meet me?"

"Emperor Sin."
