Chapter 512 - 41: Rewriting Origins, Ending Destiny

"Is this the first time I’ve been made a scapegoat by someone?"

Always focused on the battle happening on the moon, Li Boyang naturally noticed Lord Tingyao and Li Jingshu’s interaction.

Regarding the inexplicable affair of being scapegoated, Li Boyang remained silent for a moment before responding with a smile and silence.

In a certain sense, what Lord Tingyao said was not wrong.

Because that Taiyin Youying, Taiyang Candlelight, were essentially two incarnations manifested by the Celestial Emperor imitating Li Boyang.

The Celestial Emperor is the Great Celestial God who commands Taiyang and represents the "Path of the Sun."

He wishes to leap out of the river of time, prolonging the length of his life.

He also desires, like Li Boyang and the Lord of the Netherworld, to touch upon other paths and prove them.

Therefore, when Chang Xi sought to save her daughters and proactively opened the "Path of the Taiyin" to all beings, embodying as the Laurel Divine Tree.

Celestial Emperor naturally would not abandon this path; thus, the Laurel Divine Tree was burned by True Sun Fire, and the Three-legged Golden Toad manifested across all eras.

Just as Chang’e, upon changing her mindset, easily noticed some details she had previously overlooked.

Once Li Boyang confirmed that the mastermind behind this affair was not Moon God Chang Xi, but Celestial Emperor Hao, many previously perplexing issues unraveled before him.

For instance, Chang Xi had only twelve daughters, so why were fifteen lunar phases incarnated?

Even counting Chang Xi herself, thirteen lunar phases should have sufficed.

Who could the remaining two lunar phase incarnations, which divided the Moon God’s authority, belong to?

"Three-legged Golden Toad, Three-legged Golden Crow..."

"That certainly isn’t a difficult answer to guess!"

Watching the obedient three-legged Golden Toad lying in his palm, Li Boyang’s smile deepened.

If he hadn’t intervened, this Three-legged Golden Toad would likely have become an incarnation of Celestial Emperor Hao, like You Ying.

Perhaps this is precisely why the Celestial Emperor was cornered, forced to play his trump card.

That Taiyin You Ying, Taiyang Candlelight is his all-in gamble in this era.

If successful, he will be reborn in this era with these two incarnations, extending his life to its utmost length.

If failed, he will return to his own era, abandoning this interference with the river of time.

"The pity is that you have made too many enemies, too many people hope you won’t attain the Dao."

Just one "Sun God" identity is enough for Emperor Hao to rule over all beings, becoming an era’s sovereign.

Who knows what immense power he will obtain once he gains the "Path of the Taiyin."

After all, like the sun, the moon persists eternally, concepts existing since the Opening Heaven and Earth.

Moreover, Chang Xi, to save her daughters, voluntarily relinquished the Moon God’s authority, blessing all beings.

The Celestial Emperor using her path to traverse past times, treading infinite futures, is indeed a highly viable plan.

Furthermore, as shown by the Three-legged Golden Toad, this Celestial Emperor clearly intends more than rewriting his origins and destiny.

By concealing his fierce Qi in the Taiyin Star, actively promoting the birth of the Demon Race, he aims to become the ruler and sovereign of other eras.

"Do you wish to sever your karma with him personally?"

After a brief contemplation, Li Boyang suddenly lowered his gaze to the Three-legged Golden Toad in his palm.

He is a current era’s incarnation formed by the heavens and earth, an Innate God holding both Taiyin and Taiyang powers.

In terms of foundation and essence, the Three-legged Golden Toad equates to a combination of You Ying and Candlelight, is the Celestial Emperor’s most anticipated perfect incarnation.

To blind the heavens and cross the sea, ensuring his successful descent, the Celestial Emperor even yielded to Li Boyang.

Such grand ambition and powerful patience indeed befit the Celestial Emperor’s title.

His only unforeseeable aspect likely was Lady Heng’e’s proactive arrangement, leading Li Boyang to quickly uncover his plan and intent.

Whether Dayi and Chang’e resurrected in this era or lunar phenomena occurred, essentially all was Heng’e’s rebellion against her father god.

This Moon God, comparable to the Celestial Emperor at her peak, although similar in nature to him, inherited her mother’s compassion.

Heng’e did not intend to extend her life’s length seeking eternal existence.

Bringing her sisters out of the whirlpool of intrigue, incidentally thwarting the Celestial Emperor’s Dao attainment, was Heng’e’s final resistance against her father god.

"Gua?"

Unaware of the hidden karmas and causes, the Three-legged Golden Toad instinctively tilted its head to glance at Li Boyang.

Afterwards, it witnessed Li Boyang waving towards the sky, stars shining brightly across the heavens.

Whoosh!

Like reaching into a bag with ease, the Beidou Seven Stars descended voluntarily.

By the time the Three-legged Golden Toad reacted, the Beidou Seven Stars had already transformed into the Seven-Star Treasure Sword falling into Li Boyang’s hand.

...........................

Boom!

The convergence of Taiyin and Taiyang elevated You Ying and Candlelight’s powers to their apex.

Visible swirls of Primordial Qi appeared on the Taiyin Star, and earthly beings gazed skyward witnessing the oscillations.

The strong repulsive force defense, the devouring gravitational force attack...

In You Ying and Candlelight’s coordinated efforts, Li Jingshu had to abandon intentions of defense, barely restraining them with Sun and Moon Dual Wheel.

Upon seeing this, Lord Tingyao had no choice but to join the battle.

He spread four arms wide, the Hunting God Bow in hand perpetually releasing arrows, each accurately hitting You Ying and Candlelight.

Bear in mind, Lord Tingyao’s Hunting God Bow is no ordinary bow and arrow,

It was crafted with ingenious mechanisms and materials, capable of shooting mountain peaks - an ultra-large giant bow.

It’s safe to say Lord Tingyao represents a different form of "Moving Mountains and Inverting Peaks."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The pressure borne by You Ying and Candlelight from the fast-moving mountain peaks was imaginable.

Yet, simple mass and speed are not the terrifying aspects of Lord Tingyao’s archery.

The ability to have those shot arrows flexibly change and hit the mark is the essence of Lord Tingyao’s archery.

"Dayi’s archery skills?"

Almost immediately, both Chang’e and Li Xudou recognized the origin of these archery skills.

After all, the former is Dayi’s wife, and the latter Dayi’s successor; naturally, both are extremely familiar with Dayi’s archery.

However, Chang’e was puzzled why Li Xudou, armed with the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow, did not utilize these skills. Instead, the four-armed giant seemed to wield them effortlessly.

As for Li Xudou?

He’d already defected Lady Zhui, could hardly remain unaware of Lord Tingyao copying his skills.

However, Li Xudou paid no mind; he had gained no shortage of benefits from Lord Tingyao in future, now just repaying early.
