Rewrite My Fate to Become the Daoist Ancestor

[Seventh Cosmos. Chaotic Zone.]

["How can such a thing be possible!!!"]

[Xuanming awoke from a pitch-black silence, her chest heaving violently. She slowly raised her hand, staring blankly at her palm.]

[Her throat was dry: "Was it a dream?"]

["But it all felt so real..." Xuanming struggled to prop herself up, her eyes scanning the room. The familiar setting came into view, yet it brought a sense of estrangement.]

[The scene before her was blurry, and her ears seemed to echo with the shouts of her companions.]

[In Xuanming’s mind, the giant claws of the Steel Dragonman Warrior, Bai Ze’s mutilated body, Gonggong’s roars, and that endless crimson glow flashed repeatedly.]

[Those images were imprinted deep in her memory like a brand.]

["Blood Lotus Demon Dragon..." Xuanming stood up, stumbling to the window, her gaze fixed on the distant stars, searching for that crimson figure.]

["Xuanming."]

[At that moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Bai Ze walked in calmly. She adjusted her glasses slightly, "We failed again, but we still have two more chances."]

["Bai Ze, you saved everyone..." Xuanming’s body stiffened slightly, she slowly turned her head and looked at Bai Ze.]

["To be precise, everyone from the Sixth Cosmos is dead."]

[Bai Ze walked to her side without any trace of blaming Xuanming. "Knowing I couldn’t stop you from making foolish choices, I could only join you all, using the ’Observer’ at the last moment to bring your consciousness to the Seventh Cosmos."]

["Seventh Cosmos? Parallel Cosmos theory? You’ve experienced such things six times..." Xuanming was taken aback, her eyes full of guilt, she lowered her head to apologize, "I’m sorry."]

["I’ve gotten used to it." Bai Ze sighed.]

["Can we... defeat the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon?" Xuanming fell silent for a moment. She knew the power of that Steel Dragonman creature, and the Father God that the Dragon People spoke of would only be more terrifying.]

[Bai Ze pointed at her own eyes, "These eyes of mine have seen a total of 120,000 futures..."]

["We succeeded in defeating the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon!!" Xuanming’s eyes lit up, she asked excitedly, "Is it this time!?"]

["No." Bai Ze gently shook her head, her eyes lowered, carrying a hint of imperceptible fatigue, "No matter how many times we start over, we cannot change the universe’s destined path of destruction."]

[At the moment when her talent "Eye of Bai Ze" advanced to Radiance in the Third Cosmos, she borrowed the power of the "Observer" to become aware of all things and glimpse the mysteries of the cosmos. Even so, she still couldn’t find a way to defeat the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon.]

[120,000 possibilities—this was the limit of Bai Ze’s "heart."]

[In her mind, she had simulated countless battle scenarios and inferred countless strategies, but the practical attempts in the previous six Parallel Cosmos had all ended in failure.]

[Moreover, Bai Ze had discovered that the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon was also growing stronger in unknown corners.]

["Not even once?" Xuanming was momentarily stunned, her head jerked up, her gaze locked onto Bai Ze’s eyes.]

["Not even once." Bai Ze’s tone remained calm, as if stating the most ordinary of facts.]

[Her gaze went through the glasses, staring directly into Xuanming’s eyes, without any evasion.]

["The closest to success was in the ’Fourth Cosmos,’ where I gathered eighteen Radiant Powerhouses and the Three Ultimate Messengers, nearly every powerful being in the universe. We were so close to defeating the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon."]

["Just that close."]

["However, the final result was still destruction."]

[The room fell into a brief silence.]

["The entire universe cannot defeat him? This... is the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon?"]

[Xuanming struggled to digest this harsh reality, murmuring to herself, "Is it possible that... we really can only watch as the universe is destroyed?"]

[Bai Ze remained silent.]

[She knew Xuanming wouldn’t be beaten by such a challenge—Xuanming would never give up!]

[Xuanming took a deep breath, the confusion in her eyes gradually replaced by determination, "Since that’s the case, this time, I won’t let you down. Even if the enemy cannot be defeated, I will still defeat him!"]

["...There is a turning point."]

[Bai Ze suddenly smiled: "In the Fourth Parallel Cosmos, I truly exhausted my limits. After that failure, I conceded. Since destruction is destined, why not... fulfill everyone’s last wishes, and enjoy life."]

["So, in the Fifth Cosmos, I went to Galaxy University in advance, helped Jiu Yue find the boy she lost that afternoon. Sadly, he seemed to have perished in the Abyssal Dimension; what a pity... but Lord Bai Ze was certainly able to help King Yu rescue their Uncle Bai, the warm light in their memories..."]

[Bai Ze’s gaze gradually softened, the smile at the corner of her mouth deepened: "Seven years of university life, we tasted gourmet food together, went on interstellar travels, and had great arguments. Without the burden of saving the universe, the time spent with them was my happiest ’laying low’ period."]

["That’s also the only thing this captain can do for them."]

["So... I’ve seen the only hope of defeating the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon."]

["What? The Milky Way Galaxy holds the hope to defeat the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon?" Xuanming was taken aback, her pupils slightly contracted, disbelief written all over her face, questioning if she had misheard.]

[The existence that the Profound Nether Adventurer Team couldn’t defeat, wasn’t the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon himself, just his offspring!]

["Is it the Phoenix that you told us to find..."]

["The Phoenix is Uncle Bai." Bai Ze nodded, "He was my Martial Arts Teacher at Galaxy University—Yan Sect’s Bai Xiao."]

["Maybe too much has changed in the Parallel Cosmos for me to return to the original anchor point, so we must ensure in the Seventh Cosmos that Phoenix finds a way to defeat the Demon Dragon."]
