Chapter 659: Only Strive for the Morning and Evening (Extra Chapter 510)

"There is not much time left for Ren Yidao."

"If he could have attained the Dao a hundred years earlier, everything would be different."

"Born at the wrong time."

Within the Divine Path Sect, such voices are actually quite numerous.

There are those who feel pity for Ren Yidao.

To them, Ren Yidao is a junior of exceptional talent; they all regard him as their own descendant and stand on his side in terms of stance.

They watched with their own eyes as this little fox grew up within the Divine Path Sect, walking all the way to where he is now.

It is precisely because they are clear about Ren Yidao's talent and understand how legendary his journey has been that they feel even more regret for him.

Ren Yidao is already stunning enough, suppressing all rivals in the world, sitting on equal footing with the ancient Immortal Gods, and even looking down upon them!

But he has been defeated by time.

Divine abilities cannot overcome fate.

His accumulation is not yet enough; he is just that little bit short.

If Ren Yidao could have been born ten thousand years, one thousand years, or even five hundred years earlier, everything would have been enough.

Unfortunately, there are no "ifs" in this world, let alone "supposes."

The long river of time flows downstream, rushing endlessly, and has never turned back for anyone.

The people of the world have no way to borrow another five hundred years from Heaven; they cannot even borrow a single day.

Regarding this, one can only sigh and say it is a pity, condensing everything into four words.

Born at the wrong time.

While his own people are sighing, his enemies and the neutral parties are secretly rejoicing.

Fortunately, he is still too young, and his accumulation is insufficient.

Ren Yidao is powerful, but as a competitor for the Dao Fruit, he is not that dangerous, and he does not have an overwhelming advantage.

But no one will take the initiative to provoke Ren Yidao at this time; that would have no benefit other than enraging a terrifying bomb.

They fear Ren Yidao, but more than that, they fear him turning hostile and dragging them down into the water with him.

That would truly be too much of a loss.

However......

"Hehe, haha."

Over here, Yaoyue was still thinking about how to persuade Ren Yidao, hoping to make him turn back and change his previous thoughts, but he chuckled.

He looked relaxed, smiling as he sighed: "I didn't expect that even you don't completely understand me."

Sigh, no one understands me.

Fox life is truly as lonely as snow—

"Hmm?"

Yaoyue blinked her eyes, not knowing why Ren Yidao could still be so relaxed at this time; she didn't even have time to dwell on the mockery in his words and couldn't help but ask: "Disciple, why do you laugh?"

"...... Sigh, you don't understand, you don't understand!"

"You!"

Seeing that Ren Yidao did not answer and still maintained that look of a lonely master looking up, her face twitched, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth and say: "Master is counting to three, you had better answer honestly! One, two......"

"Cough!"

Before Yaoyue could count to three, the master immediately turned around, coughed, and laughed: "Master, I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet; listen to me explain in detail."

Regarding this laughable performance of being arrogant at first and then respectful later, Yaoyue glanced at him sideways and gave a light hum: "...... Hmph! You glib-tongued, stubborn fellow!"

"Hehe, my tongue isn't hard; you've tried it, so you can't just talk nonsense."

Ren Yidao cracked a couple of jokes and said leisurely with a smile: "Let outsiders say what they will; I have never cared."

The voices from the outside world are polarized, but for Ren Yidao himself, there is actually no difference.

Whether it is worry or joy, whether it is good intentions or malice, he treats it all as a breeze passing by his ears; he listens to it, but never takes a single word to heart.

"Because all these arguments are meaningless."

"What does it matter if the time is long? What does it matter if the time is short? Is there any essential difference?"

The youth shook his head and smiled, saying relaxedly: "There is none. Although there is a difference in being early or late, essentially it is all about spending time to comprehend, and finally deriving a Supreme Dao that belongs to oneself."

"But the Dao is right there; whether I am fast or slow, it will not change, will it?"

He said:

"If I cannot comprehend it in a short time, even if you give me ten thousand years, what of it? Wouldn't I still be unable to comprehend it?"

At the step of the Ascension Realm, it is no longer a matter of grinding work based on the accumulation of heritage; it relies on the flash of a single thought, a moment of sudden enlightenment.

In that moment, if one can comprehend it, one can understand it.

But if one cannot comprehend it, then no matter how much time is spent, it is difficult to have any major change.

Not to mention, the path Ren Yidao is currently walking is even more difficult; it is a Supreme path that no one has successfully completed in this epoch, or even in several epochs.

However, fortunately, he does not belong to the category of those who cannot see the path ahead and need to grope for themselves; having the Ten Thousand Generations Art as a guide has already saved him too much trouble.

Although the deduction still requires him to do it himself, at least he is not as clueless as others.

"Ten thousand years is too long......"

Ren Yidao looked at Yaoyue, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, but the spirit in his eyes was firm and calm.

"Only strive for the morning and evening."

Yaoyue stared blankly at Ren Yidao, speechless for a moment.

She already trusted Ren Yidao deeply, to the point of having an unconditional belief in him.

But compared to Ren Yidao himself, this was still far from enough.

Far from enough!

Ren Yidao possessed a confidence in himself that ordinary people could not comprehend.

This was not groundless arrogance, but a certainty based on an understanding of himself.

Precisely because he knew himself so well, Ren Yidao believed in himself so firmly; even if... he could not see a way to break the deadlock at this moment, he still firmly believed he could do it.

And this inexplicable conviction also infected Yaoyue, causing her heart to stir for a moment.

Confident people possess an inexplicable charm that can attract others and draw their gazes toward them.

This is the reason why some people who appear unremarkable are always able to attract others and stand out as a result.

Not to mention, Ren Yidao himself was extremely outstanding, making this charm even more incomparable.

And just as Yaoyue was feeling all itchy from being stimulated by Ren Yidao's charm, her good disciple suddenly spoke up at this moment.

"Besides, who said my time is too short?"

"Not only is it not short, it is also very... thick."

Yaoyue:?

Hmm???

Yaoyue had originally been on the verge of becoming emotionally moved, but at this moment, she was directly restored to calmness by Ren Yidao's provocation.

No, what kind of weird thing are you saying?

Yaoyue's gaze was resentful, but Ren Yidao did not care, instead laughing triumphantly.

After laughing for a while, Ren Yidao took the incense from Yaoyue's hand and blew on it lightly; the tip of the incense, which had burned down a thin layer, returned to its original state... no, it even became thicker than before!

Although the overall length had not changed, the entire stick of incense was now several times thicker than it had been.

"This is..." Yaoyue's brows twitched; she could not be bothered to pursue Ren Yidao's previous lewd remark, as a thought flashed through her mind.

Wait, could it be?

And Ren Yidao, just like the sentence countless elementary school students have written in their essays, said:

"We may not be able to change the length of life, but we can expand its width."

Ren Yidao chuckled, then flicked the incense in his hand, letting it fall into the incense burner, where it burned silently.

But strangely, although the incense was clearly burning and appeared no different from ordinary incense, if one observed carefully, one could discover that it did not shorten, but remained forever in the state it was in when it first began to burn.

Yaoyue naturally noticed the peculiarity of this incense, her eyes widening in surprise as she said: "Wait, this..."

Ren Yidao curled the corners of his mouth and nodded meaningfully, laughing in a low voice: "Who said I cannot change the length of life?"

I am the Walker of Ten Thousand Ages.

Walking upon the River of Time, looking back at the past, gazing toward the future.

As long as one's resolve does not slip, there will always be more solutions than difficulties.

"Have you already thought of a way!?" Yaoyue asked, her eyes wide with shock.

Could it be that he has already succeeded!?

But Ren Yidao did not confirm it this time; instead, he shook his head and laughed: "No, it is just a preliminary idea; it still needs time to be perfected and tested."

He said:

"However... it will be soon; perhaps it won't take long before it can be resolved."
