Chapter 775: Two Conditions

"The Heavenly Way’s Will of the South Mountain Realm, it’s not too late to apologize to me now. Otherwise, when I force you out, it will be too late."

Xu Fan remained calm, raising one hand gently.

"Snap!"

He snapped his fingers, and a miniature virtual image of the Gate to the Cycle of Rebirth appeared behind him.

A terrifying suction force then emanated from the small virtual gate.

It absorbed the three-headed giant dog and the lost souls, eventually transforming into a full-sized Gate to the Cycle of Rebirth, measuring 99 feet in both width and length.

At that moment, all the lost souls from the 18th floor of the deep pit were drawn into the virtual gate behind Xu Fan.

"I’ve had enough of that Mountain Sea Respected Elder from the South Mountain Realm. I must fight him until we determine a winner."

"And that Cloud Dragon Respected Elder, whoever he is, after I’m done with Mountain Sea Respected Elder, I’ll take him on next," Xu Fan declared, gazing at the sky.

At that moment, all the invincible respected elders in the South Mountain Realm sensed something and looked toward the sky.

In their perception, it seemed as though the Heavenly Way’s Will had just trembled.

Mountain Sea Respected Elder and Cloud Dragon Respected Elder exchanged confused glances, sensing that someone was talking about them.

Suddenly, the authentic Gate to the Cycle of Rebirth unleashed a powerful suction force.

A massive green arm extended from the virtual gate, reaching out toward Xu Fan.

"These little tricks won’t trap me. I’m not wasting my time on you; I’m going to find those two respected elders and fight them."

"I will battle the top powerhouse of the South Mountain Realm to the death. I wonder if you can withstand it."

"But before that, I have a small gift for you."

After Xu Fan finished speaking, he teleported directly outside the deep pit.

"Come on, let me see what price you’re willing to pay to stop me."

Xu Fan stepped forward and appeared in the Heavenly Spirit Sea area, where the spiritual energy was most abundant.

This was the greatest trump card of the human race in the South Mountain Realm and one of the key factors in defeating the other two realms.

The entire Heavenly Spirit Sea was vast and boundless, with tributaries and networks spread throughout the South Mountain Realm.

Xu Fan’s finger glowed with a bit of spiritual light, and as it appeared, all the spiritual energy began to tremble.

It was as if it had transformed into the most unstable gunpowder, ready to ignite with just a spark.

"You might not recognize this, so I need to explain it to you."

"This technique of mine is called the Flame Spirit Technique. Once ignited, all the spiritual energy in the South Mountain Realm will burst into flames. Doesn’t that sound exciting?" Xu Fan said with squinted eyes.

His glowing fingertip slowly pointed toward the surface of the Heavenly Spirit Sea.

The closer his finger got to the sea’s surface, the more the entire Heavenly Spirit Sea erupted in turmoil.

At that moment, three figures appeared not far from Xu Fan.

"Friend, what are you doing? Are you trying to destroy our South Mountain Realm?" Red Lotus Respected Elder remarked, sensing the terrifying aura contained in Xu Fan’s finger.

She wasn’t sure what kind of power this was, but she could sense that if Xu Fan’s finger truly pressed down, the entire South Mountain Realm would be doomed.

"Three taoist friends, don’t panic. I’m just playing a little game with the Heavenly Way’s Will of your South Mountain Realm. The game is called ‘Who Gives Up First,’" Xu Fan said, his hand still moving steadily.

The glowing fingertip continued its descent toward the surface of the Heavenly Spirit Sea at a steady pace.

"Taoist friend, don’t worry. The Heavenly Way’s Will of the South Mountain Realm is like a dog—you never know when it might snap and bite someone."

"But you, taoist friend, seem like a reasonable person. You shouldn’t stoop to arguing with a dog," Mountain Sea Respected Elder said nervously, knowing full well that if Xu Fan’s finger landed, it would mean the end for all of them.

"Taoist friend, let’s talk this through. If there’s something wrong with the Heavenly Way’s Will, we can help you settle it."

At this moment, Xu Fan looked like a madman holding a lit nuclear bomb.

Everyone’s hopes were pinned on Xu Fan, as they knew there was no outrunning a nuclear explosion.

"Your South Mountain Realm’s dog can bark at me all it wants, but the real problem is that it wants to bite me."

"Taoist friend, calm down. Don’t do this. It’s better to ask the Heavenly Way’s Will for something instead of destroying it. That’s just not worth it," Red Lotus Respected Elder said, her eyes fixed on Xu Fan’s finger, growing wider by the second.

At that moment, the three top-tier powerhouses of the South Mountain Realm communicated with the Heavenly Way’s Will, urging it to come out and give Xu Fan an explanation.

"Awwooo~"

A little white dog appeared not far from Xu Fan.

"Wang Wang~" (Human race, please stop. I can explain this.) The little white dog looked at Xu Fan with pleading eyes.

Just then, Xu Fan’s finger touched the surface of the Heavenly Spirit Sea.

In an instant, the entire Heavenly Spirit Sea began to tremble.

From the point where Xu Fan’s finger made contact, the spiritual energy ignited and began to spread outward, like dry wood catching fire.

"Your Heavenly Spirit Sea can only last for a day. You’d better explain quickly," Xu Fan said, standing up and looking at the little white dog.

"Wang Wang~" (That deep pit isn’t my responsibility; it’s Little Black’s territory.) The little white dog looked helpless, as if it had been unfairly blamed.

The spiritual energy of the entire Heavenly Spirit Sea was burning, and the three supreme respected elders grew increasingly anxious as they felt the effects.

"Doesn’t matter. The Heavenly Way’s Will is all the same," Xu Fan said casually.

He didn’t care whether it was Little White or Little Black; as long as it was the Heavenly Way’s Will of the South Mountain Realm, that was enough.

At that moment, time in the area slowed down by tens of thousands of times, but the burning of the spiritual energy continued unabated, even speeding up slightly.

Finally, with no other options, the little white dog froze time in the region.

"Wang Wang." (I can compensate you. I can even team up with you to deal with Little Black, but you must withdraw this technique.) The little white dog wagged its tail, clearly desperate.

"How can your South Mountain Realm have two Heavenly Way’s Wills?" Xu Fan asked, turning to the three respected elders.

"It was a last resort. Little Black is Little White’s father. Back then, he refused to side with the human race, so over 500,000 years ago, we sealed him in the deep pit."

"So Little Black is targeting you, likely trying to use you to break his seal and challenge Little White for control of the South Mountain Realm," Red Lotus Respected Elder explained.

"By doing this, you’re playing right into Little Black’s hands," Mountain Sea Respected Elder added.

Xu Fan could sense the Heavenly Way’s Will, but he couldn’t fully grasp its deeper intricacies.

"Two conditions," Xu Fan said, holding up two fingers.

Hearing this, the three respected elders and the little white dog nodded eagerly.

"First, I want you to expend your essence to accelerate time for me by six thousand years."

"Wang Wang." (No problem. Even if it’s a hundred thousand years or two hundred thousand years, it’s fine.)

"Second, I want Little Black. What happens to him is none of your concern," Xu Fan said.

"Wang Wang." (You can have Little Black, but you can’t take his essence energy out of the South Mountain Realm.) The little white dog said quickly.

"Hehe." Xu Fan snapped his fingers again.

The time-frozen seal over the Heavenly Spirit Sea reignited, and the burning spread ten times faster than before.
