Chapter 872 - 338: Heaven Is Dead! (2)
"Is it because I’m very strong?"
Haotian shook his head and said,
"In fact, as the Heavenly Dao, a dominant will of a Small Thousand World, I wouldn’t make a move against anyone. It’s their own destinies that defeat those ’heroes and warriors.’ Even if I just stand here, doing nothing, they still can’t come near me. Because destiny is irresistible."
He stepped down from the high platform, walking towards Fan Wubing,
"I’m not the aggregation of the will of all beings, just a manager. When the world becomes chaotic, it’s naturally my duty to arrange it. It seems you all have not understood one fact: it is you who have thrown the world into chaos. You shout slogans like ’Heaven is not Heaven.’ But don’t you understand? The heavens you long for are the false Heavenly Dao. I, who am viewed as evil, am what the true Heavenly Dao should be."
Fan Wubing replied calmly,
"Although I don’t know what the Great Thousand Worlds are like, your will should be granted by the Great Thousand Worlds. Yes, for you, you are the truly qualified Heavenly Dao. But for the people of the world, the heavens are the true Heavenly Dao."
"Because of the so-called True Dragon Will?" Haotian laughed.
Fan Wubing knew that the True Dragon Will was in Haotian’s hands.
"For the sake of all living beings, that’s the Heavenly Dao."
Haotian said,
"But have you ever considered? The main duty of a world’s will is to maintain order and prevent any chaotic and disorderly elements from arising?"
"If what you mean by maintaining order is putting shackles around everyone’s necks, then sorry. That’s not maintaining order, that’s imprisonment." Fan Wubing saw sharply, "I know you’re afraid of the True Dragon Will. No matter how carefree you act, you can’t cover that fact. So, you’re trying every possible way to seize the True Dragon Will from the world."
Haotian stopped his steps, looking at him silently.
He stopped, but Fan Wubing began to move forward,
"The Great Wilderness Cyan Dragon that nurtures the living beings of this world comes from the Great Thousand Worlds. I don’t know why it came, but I can guess that you’re here not for some grand reason like maintaining order, but to completely control the True Dragon Will. If you’re not afraid of it, why do this?"
Haotian said indifferently,
"Perhaps it’s just to nip all unstable factors in the bud."
Fan Wubing laughed,
"Even though you don’t know the state of the Great Thousand Worlds, you must have come with a mission. I can feel that you are also afraid your mission can’t be completed. The more it is like this, the more it shows that you all are indeed afraid of the True Dragon Will."
"We?" Haotian showed some confusion on his face, "Do you know what ’we’ is?"
This question, he himself did not know.
Just like how Peach Blossoms didn’t know why she came to this world, or why she cut off the Path to Immortality.
He, Peach Blossoms, and even Fan Wubing had their cognition limited to this Small Thousand World.
They couldn’t comprehend or think beyond this scope.
Fan Wubing didn’t know either, but he wasn’t lost. He confidently said,
"I don’t know who you are, I only know that the True Dragon Will should return to the world!"
Haotian squinted his eyes and said,
"Ignorance is fearless."
Fan Wubing chuckled,
"This is already my third life journey, what do I need to fear?"
Third life?
Haotian’s heart trembled.
What third life?
Didn’t he only have two lives?
The first life, as the Seven Luminaries True Monarch of the Nine-Tribulation True Immortal;
The second life, as the Wu Wangxinger among all beings.
Where did this third life come from?
Haotian found himself as if he had fallen into a vortex. An unknown force dragged him to an unknown abyss.
He, who had always been calm, suddenly became restless.
He eagerly wanted to know,
"What third life! What are you talking about!"
Fan Wubing raised the corner of his mouth, thinking, "As expected. This is my unique trait. As expected. They do not control everything."
Before coming to this Small Thousand World, he had made a trip to "Earth."
Although he didn’t know why, he understood that the journey to Earth was not within the fate they were concerned with.
And that journey would become Fan Wubing’s weapon to break the cage of fate.
He pointed his sword at Haotian,
"Now, do you still feel you stand invincible?"
Haotian struggled to steady himself. Now he was a person with emotions. But he hated this feeling, for if he were purely the will of the Heavenly Dao, he wouldn’t be affected by Fan Wubing’s words.
But unfortunately, the Celestial Demon Will had turned him from a heavenly being into a human.
From an absolutely objective dominator-level will of the world, he had become a living being that could be swayed by emotion.
"Celestial Demon Will... Celestial Demon Will..."
He kept murmuring this existence that he detested.
He once again recalled the person who stole the name of the proxy agent.
To more conveniently maintain the order of the world, he had chosen three people to act on his will, dealing with chaotic and disorderly elements for him.
These three proxy agents were the Red Heart Great Sword Immortal, Jian Shi Tathagata, and Daoist Juewen.
But!
But!
Haotian’s expression became somewhat ferocious at this point.
But, the proxy agent status that should have belonged to Daoist Juewen was stolen.
He remembered the day he descended with heavenly intent to bestow destiny, a woman who seemed to be a mere mortal suddenly achieved enlightenment and ascended, possessing unfathomable cultivation and inscrutable will. That woman stole that destiny.
