Chapter 593 - 36: Infinite Cataclysm
In fact, Li Boyang was not as clever as Xiluo had anticipated.
But he was indeed far more cautious than the opponent imagined.
From Wu Yao, Li Boyang saw the domestication of the Celestial Destiny Divine Power on its possessor.
In Li Boyang’s philosophy, no matter how profound the Celestial Destiny Divine Power is.
Once it can subtly influence one’s mind, it can never be considered a perfect divine power.
Especially after Wu Yao was resurrected, when Li Boyang saw the rebellious spirit of a path seeker in Wu Yao, he became even more puzzled.
He simply could not imagine why this once rebellious, subversive Great Witch, who cared not for worldly norms, would evolve into an entity that adheres blindly to "Celestial Destiny."
It is true that one’s personality can undergo drastic changes in life.
But the transformation that occurred in Wu Yao was far from normal.
At the very least, the inherently cautious Li Boyang would never hesitate to speculate the worst outcome to uncover the truth.
This situation already had signs when Xiluo decided to prove the Path of the Divine Spirit.
What truly made Li Boyang realize that the Celestial Destiny Divine Power might be alive was when Xiluo decided to venture to the Six Desire Heavens to attain enlightenment.
Though the Six Desire Heavens were indeed created by Li Boyang as a sacred place for enlightenment.
For the vast majority of pathfinders, they were merely a place to verify the truth of the path they had enlightened.
Once the correctness and reproducibility of the enlightened path are confirmed, the Six Desire Heavens hold little value.
In this regard, Xiluo had already demonstrated the feasibility of the Path of the Divine Spirit through Dreaming Enlightenment, with Li Boyang assisting her enlightenment.
From any angle, Xiluo no longer had a reason to proceed to the Six Desire Heavens to verify the Path of the Divine Spirit.
Only under two circumstances would a pathfinder continue to venture to the Six Desire Heavens for enlightenment.
One is like Li Boyang, who seeks to enlighten multiple paths.
Naturally, one would choose the Six Desire Heavens to attempt a shortcut and verify right and wrong.
The other is like the Lord of the Netherworld, seeking to explore the Path of the Primordial that evolved the Six Desire Heavens.
Regardless of the initial intention, Xiluo’s decision does not align with her usual disposition, indicating it was influenced by the Celestial Destiny Divine Power.
Thus, after some brief contemplation, Li Boyang decided to go with the flow, which led to the current situation.
"You wish to reshape the cosmic order and control the destiny of all gods."
Looking up at the colossal Primordial Spirit, Xiluo’s lips gradually curled into a sinister smile.
"So you used my hand to verify the ’Path of the Divine Spirit,’ evolving Jasper Pool Heaven and the Flat Peach Trees..."
"No, more accurately, Jasper Pool Heaven and the Flat Peach Trees are mere manifestations; the truth is you seized the power belonging to the divine spirits."
"Once this Jasper Pool Heaven becomes the vessel for the ’Path of the Divine Spirit,’ these Flat Peach Trees will become your means to create and control the gods."
At this point, Xiluo’s eyes revealed undisguised admiration and fear.
"To consume is to attain enlightenment, to consume is to gain immortality, to consume is to live as long as heaven and earth..."
"This scenario can also be understood the other way round: to attain enlightenment, to gain immortality, and to live as long as heaven and earth, one must eat the Flat Peaches."
"Over time, this might even evolve into a common sense for all beings."
"Wait, what I’ve said might be a bit conservative."
"If you implement the ’Path of the Divine Spirit’ throughout the ages, this becomes the fundamental law of cosmic operation."
"From ancient times to present, from noble to humble, no one can refute this."
With a tone increasingly filled with trepidation, Xiluo’s gaze on the Primordial Spirit became increasingly dangerous.
"I now seem to understand a bit..."
"Why all pathfinders throughout ages appear to prevent my enlightenment."
"After all, reasoning from the usual situation, I might offend some pathfinders after proving the path, but there would definitely be pathfinders standing by my side."
"Yet until now, only Zhen Wu, this lone figure, is willing to risk assisting me in attaining the path."
"Putting it in that kid’s words, positions have always been solely concerned with interests."
"Since few pathfinders are willing to stand by my side, it indicates that I certainly disrupt the interests of the vast majority of pathfinders in the future."
"Then the question arises: why, when I have already mass-produced the Elixir of Immortality..."
"Would I still become the enemy of all pathfinders?"
"All beings should be vying to favor me, begging me for longevity, shouldn’t they?"
"Typically, there’s only one answer to this kind of problem."
"That is, even if the Flat Peaches are truly formed, the beneficiaries will not be these pathfinders, but rather a group of ’New Gods.’
"Do you think I’m guessing right?"
"Celestial Destiny, or is it Queen Mother of the West?"
Faced with Xiluo’s analysis, the colossal Primordial Spirit behind her finally broke its silence.
"I’m neither Celestial Destiny nor the future Queen Mother of the West."
"I am merely a law of cosmic operation, a divine power born from the anomaly of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi."
"The more apparent the anomaly in Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is, the clearer my consciousness becomes."
"In ancient times, those ancient gods rampantly disturbed the cosmos and destroyed the world, so I manufactured the ’Ancient Gods Disaster.’
"Millennia ago, Emperor Hao interfered with life and death and trampled order, so I triggered the ’Ten Days to End a World.’
"But at those times, ’I’ was still not me, merely the instinctive retribution of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi against those disruptors."
"Thus, under the conscious intervention of the Lord of the Netherworld, I could never fully annihilate the gods."
"Unfortunately, He is ultimately only the Yin Celestial Monarch of the Netherworld."
"Governing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi across the realm was somewhat beyond Him; merely delaying ’my’ birth was already His limit."
At this point, the colossal Primordial Spirit paused slightly before continuing.
"Until over a thousand years ago, a talented Witch realized ’my’ existence and named me ’Celestial Destiny.’"
Staring at that identical face of Wu Yao, Xiluo naturally knew who the Witch in question was.
"Yet even that Witch cannot materialize my consciousness."
"To use Tao Ancestor’s words, I was still merely a natural phenomenon, akin to ’Celestial Tribulation.’
"I remember Tao Ancestor mentioning such a concept..."
"When the misuse of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi reaches a certain level, when countless celestial tribulations accumulate, it can be termed as ’Mass Tribulation.’
"’Wu Yi Shoots the Sky’ wasn’t the beginning of the first Mass Tribulation, but it marks the point where I gained true self-awareness."
For some reason, as she continued to gaze at that familiar face, Xiluo saw a trace of contempt and indifference similar to Li Boyang.
"I am the infinite Mass Tribulation compounded from numerous trials, a cataclysm specifically targeting the gods."
"Controlling, weakening, and even annihilating the gods is the mission for which I was born."
"Especially after that Tao Ancestor widely proliferated the Celestial Human Technique, making the gods grow increasingly powerful, my consciousness became ever clearer."
"The ’Path of the Divine Spirit’ is your choice; I have never interfered with your will."
"Trust me; I can help you become the true Lord of Gods, making those gods eternally subservient to your feet."
"You may do anything you wish, and you will forever be seen as an unstoppable celestial disaster by those pathfinders!"
"Even in front of that Tao Ancestor, you could stand tall!"
