Chapter 514 - 43: When Fortune Smiles, Heaven and Earth Aid; When Luck Fades, Heroes Are Helpless

Situations like the Dragon Turtle are occurring in every corner of the world.

The only difference is that those Pathfinders from the future are more cautious, with few getting caught like the Dragon Turtle.

As for those like the "Moon God" who attempt to achieve the status of the Great Celestial God in this era?

The Pathfinders from the future do not have such arrogant and exaggerated ambitions.

At least not before breaking through the "Divine Gate Celestial Pass," they have no intention of exposing their true identity.

After all, although the Tao Ancestor will not prevent everyone from seeking enlightenment.

But those fellows of the same era will not give up on such an opportunity to spy on, or even seize, the paths of others.

Not to mention, there are conflicts and tensions between Pathfinders.

Sometimes blocking your enlightenment in other spaces just to vent inner anger.

Take, for example, on the Taiyin Star now...

Seeing You Ying and Candlelight about to merge.

A figure identical to Chang’e suddenly walked out from the withered Laurel Divine Tree.

Her timing was so clever, and she moved in silence.

You Ying and Candlelight did not notice her presence until she reached into the center of the gold and silver rings and extracted two intangible clusters of golden and silver light.

"You..."

The voice of the Celestial Emperor flickered like a flower, yet seemed helpless.

For He already realized who was preventing Him.

Who else in this world could so precisely target Him, apart from His rebellious daughter?

"Why hesitate? What are you doing standing there!"

The figure was about to vanish like a bubble, yet Heng’e remained calmly chiding the people not far away.

"I have extracted their essence. What you need to do next is destroy these two incarnations, completely preventing Emperor Hao from descending."

Upon hearing these words, Li Jingshu was the first to react.

She opened her palm swiftly, and the Celestial Eye from Li Boyang began to rapidly gather Primordial Qi, accumulating power.

Previously, in order to restrain You Ying and Candlelight, Li Jingshu had not had the chance to use this trump card.

"Alright! Watch me!"

Only half a beat slower than Li Jingshu, Lord Tingyao also began drawing his bow to gather strength.

His other arms rapidly formed a Dharma Seal, transforming the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into a Talisman to settle on the arrow.

Whoosh!

Upon witnessing this, Li Xudou, Chang’e, and even Lady Zhui, who had been watching from the sidelines, all took action.

Li Xudou, transformed into a White Dragon, spit out the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace, then manipulated the Samadhi True Fire within to burn You Ying and Candlelight.

Chang’e gathered Taiyin Qi into a long bow, aiming the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow at the two incarnations.

Lady Zhui, though still idling, transformed back to her original form, wielding waves and sound waves for indiscriminate attacks upon the central battlefield.

Boom!

In an instant, a massive roar transmitted from the moon to the ground.

Everyone witnessed the fleeting light like a nuclear explosion, followed by a series of disturbances.

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

Ten thousand years ago, during the Battle of the Sun-Shooting.

As Dayi shot out the last Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow, the Great Golden Crow in the sky let out a mournful cry.

Following this was the Divine Arrow piercing the sky, causing the massive Golden Crow to transform into a fireball and fall to the earth...

Everything seemed to unfold following the mythological trajectory, and the Gods who participated and observed fell into a frenzy of joy at this moment.

Only the exhausted Dayi continued gazing at the sky in a daze, without speaking for a long while.

"Go become the original Ancient One! I will be waiting for you at the end of the river of time!"

This familiar voice echoed in his mind again, this time Dayi finally saw the owner of that voice.

It was a handsome youth standing at the end of time and space, like warm jade.

He wore the "Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Tower" on His head, wrapped in a Red Skin Fur Robe, with a golden bracelet on His wrist.

On that profound yellow tower, the possibilities of the past, present, and future kept flashing, seemingly hiding the infinite mysteries of the entire world.

Meanwhile, Dayi also heard the preaching of that youth.

Crossing endless time and space, traversing countless timelines...

The youth was explaining to Dayi the concept of the "Divine Gate Celestial Pass," and outlining the two paths after becoming a Great Celestial God.

One way is to evolve concepts, allowing them to permeate all past, present, and future spaces, thereby unifying with the Tao, remaining eternal.

The other way is to understand by analogy, use finite life to evolve infinite paths, eventually detaching from the Three Realms and not residing within the Five Elements.

These two paths are not mutually exclusive, but are mutually fulfilling and verifying.

Constantly rewriting one’s origins, constantly extending one’s destiny.

Only in this way could a Transformed Taoist continue to touch more paths, and this process is therefore known as "enlightenment."

"Enlightenment?"

With internalized divine light in his eyes, Dayi muttered quietly and calmly.

"Unfortunately, though possessing the power of a Great Celestial God, I have no ’Tao’ to articulate."

"Everything I’ve done was simply for shooting the sun, just to end this world-destroying catastrophe..."

"If this can be considered a ’Tao,’ then how lamentable it is."

Dayi had a very clear understanding of himself.

Pure "slaughter" does not suit the articulation as a path.

Moreover, his circumstances seem different from what the youth described as the "Divine Gate Celestial Pass."

The three paths of Essence, Qi, and Spirit are all incomplete for him, let alone transforming void into Tao.

As for using this as an opportunity to break through to the Realm of Refining Spirit and Returning to Void?

That’s speaking nonsense.

"I am just a mortal, without such vast Divine Power as you..."

"Immortal divine body, immortal divine soul, divine power favored by Heaven and Earth, I have none of these."

Gently covering his chest, Dayi silently felt his heartbeat.

After completing the "sun-shooting" mission, he could clearly feel his power weakening as his heartbeat continued.

However, Dayi did not mind this.

In his heart now there was only Heng’e, only the wife who had been waiting for him to return home.

"Master!"

Just then, a youth shouted as he ran over from afar.

Even the deep ravines and scorching heat could not hinder the frenzy and joy in this youth’s eyes.

"Feng Meng?"

Upon responding and looking over, Dayi staggered and almost lost his footing.

This scene directly stunned the youth.

Even the participating and observing Gods displayed expressions of astonishment.

Being unable to stand even at the basic level, clearly can no longer be explained by exhaustion.

Dayi, the hero who shot the sun, the Great Celestial God created by circumstance, seemed to have reverted back to a mortal again.

No, in the eyes of the Gods, Dayi now seemed even less than a mortal.
