Chapter 510: Sweeping Away Insects

"In this world, when darkness reigns, heroes emerge. I, Shui Changdong, shall be king and unify the Red Heaven."

Yun Ye smiled lightly, exuding a captivating confidence. "The sooner we unify the Red Heaven, the faster peace will return to the world. For this, I can allow regional autonomy and reduce meaningless battles. Whether it’s the Tomorrow Dao, ruling Dao, or anything else, as long as it doesn’t violate the New Heaven regulations, I can allow it."

"You should understand how superior this option is. This is a gift from the strong to the weak. It should only be enjoyed by equals."

The four fell silent, unable to speak.

Normally, when the strong choose to relinquish benefits, it’s because the other party has the strength to protect their interests and prevent losses.

But what about the young man before them?

He breached Tree City alone, moving through this perilous area, filled with countless barriers, as if it were an empty realm. Nine formidable opponents in the Mystic Realm had already been defeated without even seeing him, entirely powerless, reduced to a state where even the right to speak had to be granted by him.

In this situation, being allowed to govern themselves was, in fact, a great favor!

Because he acknowledged the Tomorrow Dao.

He was acting as a holy king to restore peace to the Red Heaven realm, thus he showed mercy!

"Forgive my boldness in asking another question… Is Your Majesty’s goal in unifying the Red Heaven to eradicate the Calamities and bring light back to the world? Even if the Monarchs fall under the power of the World God?"

The man, who was surrounded by an undeniable golden light that vanished upon Yun Ye’s arrival, asked.

His name was Bai Jiyuan, with long hair cascading around his shoulders, a masculine face, and a grand demeanor. When he counseled Ao Laoshang, he only said, "Ao Laoshang, calm down," showing he was not keen to speak.

Bai Jiyuan referred to Yun Ye as "Your Majesty" and asked a question from his heart, doing so without any offense.

"Exactly."

"The World God was summoned by the Tomorrow Dao, and since I inherited the power of the Tomorrow Dao, I must also contribute to this calamity—you should know her."

Yun Ye said lightly, waving his hand as a Dao Sword, surrounded by the universe, materialized. Water and fire ribbons danced, shining brilliantly.

Then, the Woman in Red stepped forth from the flames, her familiar figure holding beauty beyond what a human could contain; even after years of growth, it was impossible to forget.

"The Tomorrow Dao Spirit!"

"It’s actually the Tomorrow’s Slice Strike Dao Sword!"

The four Mystic Realm cultivators turned pale, exclaiming in shock; how could they not recognize it?

This was the Original Dao Artifact, lost to the World God’s tendrils for over a hundred years, and it had been impossible to retrieve—the Tomorrow’s Slice Strike Dao Sword…

"Your Majesty, Water King, could it be that the existence fighting against the World God these past ten years is you?"

Bai Jiyuan and the other three were filled with astonishment.

They fully understood Yun Ye’s confidence. They were well aware of the battles over the past decade; the power was earth-shattering!

The man before them could obliterate even the World God; even a single tendril held invincible strength, indeed making the unification of the Red Heaven possible.

Once unified, if they gathered resonance from across the realm to forge the strongest Dao Artifact, combined with his unmatched power, it might not be impossible to fight the World God itself!

The four felt their hearts racing, unable to calm themselves. They had followed Tian Jialun precisely because they disapproved of slaughtering countless mortals and attracting the World God.

Now, perhaps there was a way to atone for this great sin…

"Then let’s agree. Changdong also recognizes the Tomorrow Dao, but in a very worldly way, unable to follow the common path. If the Tomorrow Dao is followed, then the Red Heaven realm will be our enemy. Choices are necessary; we can settle matters when success is achieved."

Yun Ye spoke and conveyed the New Heaven regulations to the four.

The content left them silent for a long time.

The New Heavenly Dynasty had indeed made a choice, allowing the ruling Dao to exist, but they did not abandon some of the most fundamental aspects, which they could still accept.

Moreover, even the spirit of the Original Dao Artifact spoke, lending it great credibility. The four fixated their eyes on the Dao Artifact intertwined in the universe…

This universe was vast, like a chain, suppressing the Dao Artifact layers upon layers, preventing the Dao Domain from unfolding.

Everyone pondered.

Was it the spirit of the Tomorrow Dao that acknowledged this, or was it using its own strength to forcibly wield the Tomorrow’s Slice Strike Dao Sword?

Although it seemed impossible in theory, the World God itself was formed from rules; even a single tendril was immortal. Years ago, someone had used the Tomorrow’s Slice Strike Dao Sword to seal a tendril of the World God, compressing its range of rule interference, only to be backfired and perish. Yet the man before them could obliterate it…

If he didn’t possess equivalent strength, this wouldn’t be possible. In other words, he held the Power of Rules beyond that of the Tomorrow Dao Artifact.

In the end, they could not reject the roots of their own paths. With their strength, questioning things made no sense; they could only agree.

Bai Jiyuan clasped his hands together, saying, "I greet Your Majesty, Water King. We are willing to accept the title and contribute to the unification of the Red Heaven! However, before that, please rescue our leader, Tian Jialun! He is imprisoned underground by a villain and has been held hostage, continuously threatening us…”

“The vast majority of the Dao Artifact power of our Tomorrow Society lies with our leader alone. Just one person can determine the fate of Tree City. The villain has used an unknown method to neutralize the leader’s Dao Artifact power and ultimately kidnapped him, resulting in the current situation. If our leader Tian Jialun returns, the other half of our Tomorrow Society, the Underworld, should also be able to accept Your Majesty’s proposal more swiftly.”

"Agreed."

Yun Ye nodded. In that moment, the five figures blurred, crossing dimensions and passing through numerous barriers, arriving underground in an instant.

Su Xinsan suddenly opened her eyes.

Her expression showed shock.

In a space that was originally closed, five figures appeared out of thin air. She immediately unleashed divine light from her eyes, attempting to suppress the five, but her movements were extremely difficult.

Even just opening her eyes felt incredibly challenging, as if she were dreaming and facing a nightmare; everything was vague, and no matter how she struggled, she could not see the world clearly.

"Are you the root of the problem in Tree City? Su Xinsan, remnant of Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, so it turns out; what a coincidence to encounter Feng Xiang, and what a coincidence to be coveted by Feng Xiang. Feng Xiang, ha…"

As Su Xinsan’s mind shook, she suddenly saw a hand pierce through her chest, abruptly pulling something out.

It was a soul!

The soul of a decayed old man was struggling wildly, extremely ugly and emanating a foul odor!

"Insect, I could smell your stench from eight hundred miles away. Truly, ‘to grow old without dying is to be a thief,’ forcing yourself to extend your life for four thousand years! You can even steal the span of heaven!"

Yun Ye’s eyes shone as he read the decayed soul, mercilessly destroying while reading it.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah… spare me! I can give you all my knowledge, power, and wealth. I can teach someone from a small sect until they become a true person; I am valuable! Spare me… don’t kill me! Stop! Please stop!"

The decayed old man’s soul screamed in agony, constantly pleading for mercy, showing no trace of perseverance or self.

This was to be expected.

Having survived for four thousand years, he had long since become demonic. Though still called "Feng Ci," he was no longer the same person as the founder of the Wind Dynasty!
