I Come to Teach You Cultivation

Chapter 471: End of Volume: Lord of Heavenly Dao

[What else does he want to do!?]

This is not merely a question from the Lord of the Netherworld.

At this moment, all those aware of the changes in the time river had the same thought arise in their minds.

"I never overestimate my humanity, nor do I think I will never change."

"Especially after experiencing the long years and the baptism of time, it’s possible for my future self to do anything."

Letting the [Creation Jade Disc] fly from his hand into the sky, Li Boyang replied with a smile.

"Moreover, although I have confidence in becoming the first Ancient One, the first cultivator to trace back to the time of Opening Heaven and Earth."

"But there are still so many possibilities in time."

"Among countless future possibilities, will everything really go as I wish?"

"So I’ve decided, while you have yet to catch up with me, and while I can still maintain my original heart, to place two ’chains’ on those who come after."

As if in response to Li Boyang’s words.

The [Creation Jade Disc] in the sky suddenly surged.

Then, under the astonished gaze of all, the radiant jade disc dived into the flood of time and completely disappeared from this time node.

Simultaneously, the [Creation Jade Discs] on other time nodes and timelines also dived into the time stream and fused with it.

Thus, a supreme creation spanning countless timelines and endless parallel universes was born.

Bang!

Unlike the other magical treasures crafted by Li Boyang.

This [Creation Jade Disc] originally possessed exceptional compatibility, manifesting as the physical form of a "universal wishing machine."

When so many, and increasingly more [Creation Jade Discs] plunged into the time stream, forming a vast combined force.

The originally restrained time river by Li Boyang suddenly became active.

This activity was not the unconscious grand momentum accumulated by the time river itself, but a more targeted will.

"From this moment on, anyone attempting to interfere with the time river will inevitably trigger a reaction from the ’Creation Jade Disc.’"

"The longer the interference duration and the more timelines affected, the more ’Creation Jade Discs’ will react."

Li Boyang’s voice at this moment wasn’t particularly loud, yet it was filled with a unique sense of majesty.

"Those who dominate all ages, disrupt space and time, will surely endure the backlash of an equal time river."

"Those who preach to all beings, continue space and time, will be favored by the ’Creation Jade Disc.’"

"Heavenly Dao is the Dao of all things, the Dao of all beings, not just my path alone."

"From now on, all beings in heaven and earth can achieve the Dao!"

With the empowerment of the [Creation Jade Disc], Li Boyang’s voice reached the past and future, spreading across endless time and space.

Immediately after, in the eyes of all who could observe the time river, there appeared an immense [Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Tower].

On that tower body, the figure of Celestial Emperor Hao was once again drawn out as a "typical example."

Even during his own dominant era, even in the Celestial Emperor’s Capital he personally established, Celestial Emperor Hao was still in a sorry state.

As if facing rejection by the entire world...

Or as if undergoing judgment by time and space...

But more than that, it was as if contemporaries of similar strength were secretly undermining him...

This is the backlash for wanting to alter one’s ultimate fate.

Knowing all this, Celestial Emperor Hao glared angrily skyward, but could only abandon the idea of revival in the future with indignation.

Because this wasn’t the first time Celestial Emperor Hao attempted to revive in the future, nor would it be the last time, for certain.

Witnessing the future firsthand, witnessing the endless possibilities of time and space.

Celestial Emperor Hao had confidence in becoming the first Ancient One.

Moreover, Li Boyang had now relinquished ownership of the [Creation Jade Disc].

So, it was possible for him to become the master of the [Creation Jade Disc], to become the second Lord of Heavenly Dao.

As for the two rules inscribed by Li Boyang on the [Creation Jade Disc]?

Rules are dead, while people are alive.

How could mere two rules possibly restrict the powerhouses of each era?

Furthermore, Li Boyang left a third message on the [Creation Jade Disc]—all beings can achieve the Dao.

This implies that controlling the time river is not the privilege of a Lord of Heavenly Dao, or a few existences.

The [Creation Jade Disc], as a supreme treasure carrying the Heavenly Dao, also belongs to everything in heaven and earth.

Li Boyang never intended to use the [Creation Jade Disc] to restrict the powerhouses of different eras.

He even voluntarily gave up ownership of this divine artifact, turning it into part of the time river.

Whether acting against the time river or bypassing the two rules, all align with the idea that "all beings can achieve the Dao."

Li Boyang doesn’t seek eternal unity or unchanging order; he merely leaves two chains for those who come after.

—The Heavenly Dao is flawed, the creation incomplete.

From the moment Li Boyang abandoned possession of the [Creation Jade Disc], the time river symbolizing the Heavenly Dao also opened to all beings.

From then on, even if someone emerges to dominate all ages and make decisions for all beings.

Unless they can perfectly control all timelines and world lines, resisters will continuously emerge.

Destiny, heavenly secrets...

The time river is not something high and mighty but a basic attribute constituting all beings—just like matter, spirit, and primordial Qi.

Even ordinary people, with their mortal bodies, can glimpse changes in the time river through special ways and techniques.

Though seeing is easy, changing is difficult, especially when trying to go against the heavens.

—Destiny has regularity, follow the Way of Heaven.

Those who follow the Dao gain much support, those who forsake the Dao, little support.

—The Great Dao is fifty, Celestial Derivation of 4 and 9.

Heaven’s will is not absolute; losing one is also destiny.

If there’s a single flaw in doing this, perhaps it is Li Boyang willingly decentralizing the authority of time.

Letting this seemingly high and profound ability of the "time system" become the most ordinary ability accessible to all beings.

Li Boyang’s thinking is simple too, that since in the future, "mechanism" will replace "values" as a mainstream.

Then let everyone become mechanism experts!

Just like promoting the divination method in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range before.

Li Boyang eagerly anticipates what possibilities will emerge in a world where everyone can calculate and know the past and future.

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

[Go and become the first Ancient One! I’ll be waiting for you at the end of the time river!]

With unabashed anticipation, Li Boyang’s voice reached the ears of the Red Snake.

However, the Red Snake had no time to pay attention to much else.

Nor did it realize that not everyone could hear this voice.

Only those who had initially detached from the time river could hear Li Boyang’s final words.

"Did you see it too?"

At this time, Divine Monarch Mengzhang, having returned to human form, appeared beside the Red Snake.

At this moment, the [Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Tower] was gradually disappearing, and the anomalies of the chaotic space-time and the solar eclipse no longer existed.

Everything seemed to return to tranquility, as if nothing had happened.

But Divine Monarch Mengzhang clearly remembered that in the countless future possibilities reflected in the [Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Tower], there was more than one future featuring his own image.

Or more precisely, it was after Li Boyang and the Lord of the Netherworld perished together, called the guardians of the [Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth].

Divine Monarch Mengzhang was merely one of the [Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth], solely guarding the east as the Cangsu Cyan Dragon.

"Mm, in those futures, there is me as well..."

Awoken by the words of Divine Monarch Mengzhang, the Red Snake blinked with a complex expression.

Unlike the many futures and possibilities born from the [Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth].

The Red Snake only saw a few time lines related to itself among those countless futures.

In those time lines, the Red Snake was no longer the Red Snake, but regarded day as daytime and night as nighttime, blowing as winter and breathing as summer—the Great Celestial God.

The Red Snake vaguely remembered that those beings struggling in death and darkness called it the "Candle Dragon."

God knows what happened on those few timelines.

The Red Snake only knew that the Candle Dragon illuminated the entire heaven and earth with the [Fire-Devouring Spirit], the world’s only torch and light.

After seeing those possibilities, the Red Snake even felt that if the price for becoming the Great Celestial God meant plunging the world into endless death and darkness, it would rather never become the Great Celestial God.

"Don’t dwell on those futures, they’re just possibilities."

Seemingly perceiving the Red Snake’s complex emotions, the usually stern Divine Monarch Mengzhang managed a rare smile.

"At the very least, our current world surely possesses an infinitely bright future."
