Chapter 1535: Chapter 181 Waiting 500 Years for 1 Bloom_2
"So he started to take further actions, forcibly squeezing into the world’s origin, beginning to devour the world will of the Forest Sea Source Realm, and reaching out towards the Jade Balance Stars... And this, is my only opportunity, the moment I’ve been waiting for."
"As the Dragon God devours the world will, he is also restrained and assimilated by it. This is destined to be a long struggle, and no one can escape before the final victor is determined. He is an exceedingly cautious being, and even during this time, he has a three-part plan: first, to eliminate the time of this realm through the Night Attack; second, to have Yan Xiao act in the world; and third, to always control the Senhai Holy Clan that believes in him."
"The night is a nightmare for the Forest Sea Source Realm, and the creatures of this realm spend half their lives just hiding in the so-called Divine Shade Land to survive. This reinforces their faith in him while severing more possibilities for development. Yan Xiao and the Senhai Holy Clan oppose each other, standing on both sides, ravaging the Forest Sea, leaving no creatures able to escape."
"The first thing I did was to annihilate the Elder Council of the Senhai Holy Clan, severing the direct link between the Dragon God and the Senhai Holy Tribe. Then I rewrote history, cultivated tradition, to cut off Yan Xiao’s source of power. In doing so, I weakened the Dragon God, delaying his assimilation of the world will." freёweɓnovel.com
At this point, the various arrangements Guan Yan made five hundred years ago all had reasonable explanations.
Jiang Wang couldn’t help but praise: "Elder, you truly are magnificent, using five hundred years of enlightenment to confront chaos and restrain the Dragon God. You have cut through evil with good, your merit is infinite, no wonder you have formed a Golden Body!"
But Guan Yan merely smiled wryly, shaking his head: "The Dragon God cultivated the legendary evil bird Yan Xiao to act as one of his bodies. He often projects himself, to act in the Forest Sea Source Realm. To hide himself from being disturbed by other strong beings, he always sends Yan Xiao. Including devouring skulls, hunting down Dragon God’s messengers... He cultivated and manipulated Yan Xiao, becoming increasingly dependent on him. In a sense, Yan Xiao is also his God Rank, a step from human to god."
"Yet Yan Xiao is ultimately a vile bird, and in the process of devouring human skulls, it formed its own consciousness and wisdom. Unwilling to be controlled by the Dragon God indefinitely, it chose to devour chaos to strengthen itself during a period when resentment’s strength wavered, and power dwindled, forcing it to seek a new path, resulting in an annual period of chaos backlash weakness... But this is also part of the Dragon God’s plan."
"For avoiding the interference of the world will, the Dragon God couldn’t act personally. So he guided the Senhai Holy Clan, creating the ’Night Attack’, using the native creatures of the Forest Sea to extinguish the most life in this realm at the fastest speed.
But the essence of the ’Night Attack’ is ’world source leak’, chaos invasion. This caused the Forest Sea Source Realm to be riddled with scars. This scenario, in turn, affected the Dragon God’s actions after controlling the Forest Sea Source Realm. He needed the Forest Sea Source Realm’s secret connection with the Jade Balance Star to seize the Jade Balance Stars, requiring a complete Forest Sea Source Realm. Hence, he deliberately fostered Yan Xiao’s ability to devour chaos, to repair this world."
Hearing this, Jiang Wang felt a chill down his spine: "So, the Dragon God always knew of the elder’s existence?"
Since Yan Xiao’s devouring chaos was the Dragon God’s design, then was everything Guan Yan did in the Forest Sea Source Realm also under his control?
Then what chance is there of defeating the Dragon God!
"I don’t know when he discovered me or when he started to play chess with me. But I indeed became part of his plan. This is a terrifyingly powerful opponent, yet since I’ve stepped onto this chessboard, I must play to the last word."
Guan Yan’s expression was calm, as if telling a story that had nothing to do with him: "It was during the battle with the Elder Council of the Senhai Holy Tribe that I unexpectedly discovered I had long been noticed by the Dragon God. Their inner voices... gave me the intelligence."
"In playing against a deity in the Forest Sea Source Realm, direct confrontation offered no chance of victory. To once again enter the shadows, I burned the relics, manifested Vajra, and feigned death to annihilate the Senhai Holy Tribe. With only a trace of True Spirit left, I hid in the crevices of the world... I was betting that the world will of the Forest Sea Source Realm would protect me."
"I won the bet." he said calmly.
Jiang Wang couldn’t help but think, fighting until the oil was exhausted and the lamp was dry, leaving only a trace of True Spirit, how could this be a mere pretense? It was clearly a death that couldn’t be more real, truly undeniable.
Yet if it weren’t so, there would be no way to deceive the cunning Dragon God.
Guan Yan continued: "Under the protection of the world will of this realm, my True Spirit was able to survive. I had specifically explored the possibilities of True Spirit cultivation in the past, and it was the perfect opportunity to begin exploring."
He spoke of these matters with a still, gentle tone.
As if having only a trace of True Spirit to fight was truly a novel experience—certainly novel, but it shouldn’t be met with such ease. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
This is a true gentleness nurtured by a sufficiently strong heart.
He can calmly face all the problems in this world, hence he can gently treat this world, even challenge it.
"Cultivating with True Spirit, it is indeed an outstanding achievement." Jiang Wang was both respectful and admiring towards Guan Yan, unable to restrain himself from saying: "One could say you pioneered the history of cultivation!"
Guan Yan, however, was very clear-headed, shaking his head and saying: "To preserve will with only a trace of True Spirit is already arduous. To gain the world will’s protection rather than assimilation is even rarer. And cultivating with True Spirit presents many inconveniences, far inferior to orthodox cultivation... Unreplicable cultivation, how can it be said to create history?"
