Chapter 759 - - 555 Dong Hua, you should protect the Dao for me.

—————✧✧✧✧—————

“Emperor, I am the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao from another world.”

Duge pondered for a moment and assigned himself a role that was absolutely safe and awe-inspiring.

Containing the Heavenly Statutes in his mouth, he created the ‘Literary and Martial Hearts’,

Unsure of how powerful this skill was, Duge, who feared he might have overexaggerated and brought additional troubles upon himself, had to choose a more prudent style of boasting.

“The incarnation of the Heavenly Dao?” Emperor Donghua scanned Duge with a hint of innate skepticism, “Which Heavenly Dao could be as weak as you are?”

“The Shennong Clan, the Xuanyuan Clan, and the Suiren Clan have all been Human Emperors of my world, which is why I can harness the Mandate of the Human Emperor and summon the Human Emperor Inheritance at will.”

Duge did not answer Emperor Donghua’s question directly but continued to enrich his own backstory, “In my world, I have weathered 124,000 calamities, and with the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Primordial Jade Butterfly, I integrated with the Dao, becoming the Heavenly Dao that rules the world…”

“Integration Dao?” Emperor Donghua was taken aback.

“Yes, Integration Dao.” Duge nodded, “The Heavenly Dao numbers fifty, yet it manifests as forty-nine. Integrating with the Dao, one complements what the Heavenly Dao lacks. Thereafter, I became the Heavenly Dao, existing with the Heaven, immortal and indestructible.”

“…” Emperor Donghua’s eyes emitted divine light, as if trying to see through Duge, but all he saw was the Daoist Rhyme and a trace of pure Innate essence.

“Emperor, your world is too young and has not yet seen the rise of a Saint qualified for Integration Dao.” Duge went on, “Perhaps, Daoist Ancestor is the one with the best chance.

Integration Dao is a cultivator’s ultimate goal. I believe the reason why Daoist Ancestor has not shown himself is that he is seeking a chance for Integration Dao, to utterly break free from the Twilight Calamity.”

Could it be that Daoist Ancestor’s disappearance was in search of a way to integrate with the Dao? Emperor Donghua was suddenly shaken and asked, “Do the gods truly face the Twilight Calamity?”

“Of course.” Unknowingly, Duge had transformed into an elder imparting the Dao, with Emperor Donghua becoming a seeker of the Dao, “Emperor, as the sun moves across the sky, the moon wanes after it waxes. The Extremes Must Oppose, prosperity must decline, everything goes in cycles, adversity leads to prosperity. No being under Heaven can escape this pattern, not even the Saints.”

Emperor Donghua looked thoughtful and asked, “I have cultivated for a million years, why have I never faced the Twilight Calamity?”

“How could an Emperor in his prime experience the Twilight Calamity?” Duge said with a smile, his expression filled with deeper meanings.

Emperor Donghua looked at Duge and countered, “You just said that by integrating with the Dao, one becomes one with Heaven, and now you’re saying that no one can escape the principle of The Extremes Must Oppose, isn’t that contradictory?”

“Emperor, the common belief is that once one becomes an Immortal God, they are immortal. Do you truly believe that to be everlasting life?” Duge replied with a smile, his composure intact, “Cultivators all know that Saints share the same lifespan as the heavens and the earth, but who knows of the Twilight Calamity of the Saints?

To integrate with the Heavenly Dao and become one with Heaven means no more facing the Twilight Calamity, but unless one integrates with the Dao, how can they know of the cycles of calamity that even Heaven and Earth must endure?

As a new Heaven is born, the old one falls; even the Heavenly Dao has its destined calamities…”

Emperor Donghua looked at Duge, becoming more convinced that the person in front of him was no longer the Alien Warrior Duge.

He had in-depth conversations with two Alien Warriors, whose discussions were solely about Pan-Universe Entertainment and the Alien Battlefield, as well as their own worlds.

The so-called Alien Warriors were just a group of Gladiator Beasts controlled by others, who lacked such insights.

“Caterpillars cannot talk about ice. Emperor, cultivation itself is a process of climbing step by step. You, still midway up the mountain, naturally cannot behold the scenery and steepness of the peak,” Duge said, looking up into the sky and smiling, “One day, even if you reach the summit, there are still clouds above the peak!”

Clouds above the peak?

Emperor Donghua, influenced by Duge, also looked up at the sky.

He then brought his gaze back down and asked a series of questions, “Elder, if you are the Heavenly Dao from another world, why did you come here and take over Duge’s body?

Since you, Elder, have integrated with the Dao, why do you only possess four types of Daoist Rhyme? You also said that mastering ten types of Daoist Rhyme qualifies one as a Saint…”

Hearing the word “Elder,” Duge knew he had succeeded, and he smiled, “Emperor, how do you know that it was after I came to your world I took possession of Duge’s body?”

Emperor Donghua was startled, remembering Ning Xianping’s recounting of Duge’s past and their admiration and fear for him.

In the previous battles on the Alien Battlefield, Duge had once suppressed all the Alien Warriors single-handedly, preventing them from raising their heads.

If he was not Duge but the Heavenly Dao from another world, then everything made sense.

“Elder?” Emperor Donghua looked at Duge in shock.

“Emperor, I have integrated with the Dao, but ultimately I cannot escape the cycle of calamities. A new heaven will arise, and the old will fall,” Duge sighed, “I seek to break the bonds of the Heavenly Dao and live forever, generation after generation. Therefore, using the power of worlds, I predicted the existence of Pan-Universe Entertainment.

The key keyword they possess is my opportunity to advance further.

Therefore, I sent out a bit of my real spirit as the Heavenly Dao’s incarnation, took possession of Duge, and became a warrior of Pan-Universe Entertainment to seek out the rules behind the key keyword.

To avoid the surveillance of Pan-Universe Entertainment, the fragment of true spirit I seized of Duge had no Divine Skills. The four Daoist Rhymes you see are merely stolen from several Alien Battlefields provided by Pan-Universe Entertainment.”

“…”

Emperor Donghua’s pupils shook dramatically. The moment he learned the truth, his heart was engulfed by a storm of amazement.

…

While Duge was bamboozling Emperor Donghua, the forums of Pan-Universe Entertainment once again exploded into chaos.
