Rewrite My Fate to Become the Daoist Ancestor
Chapter 198 - 189: All Are Enemies, Without Exception
[Diao Chan’s beautiful eyes slightly widened, guessing that the smiling woman before her was the "Master Wuyou" that the old man mentioned.]
[The "Fengxian" she referred to must be that Yellow Heaven Incarnation, Lü Bu.]
[This day has finally arrived...]
[Diao Chan approached her, opened her mouth, wanting to speak but hesitated.]
[Wuyou sized up Diao Chan, "Qi Cultivator?"]
["Yes." Diao Chan nodded. "My name is Diao Chan."]
["Your name is Diao Chan?"]
[Wuyou’s expression was strange as she asked, "From the heavens?"]
[In a hundred years of Divine Man, except for the registered Taiping Master, there were no wild Qi Cultivators in the mortal world. Diao Chan could only be from the Three Religions Hundred Schools Dao Lineage.]
["Uh." Diao Chan thought for a moment, gritting her teeth, "I request Master Wuyou to take me to see him!"]
["Alright." Wuyou replied with a smile.]
[Diao Chan was taken aback when Wuyou agreed so readily.]
["Master Wuyou, aren’t you going to ask why?" She couldn’t believe it.]
["No need."]
[Wuyou pondered for a moment, "I know you, to be precise, I know your name."]
["Someone once told a story from ’Romance of the Three Kingdoms,’ Diao Chan, with a beauty to shame the moon and flowers and allure that could sink fish and fall geese, yet she had no strength to bind a chicken. With wisdom, she maneuvered among tigers, wolves, and leopards, navigating skillfully, sowing discord between Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo."]
["Using the fierce tiger Lü Bu to eliminate the national traitor Dong Zhuo... truly a heroic woman."]
[Upon hearing this, Diao Chan’s face turned pale and looked up at Wuyou, eyes wide with fear.]
[Wuyou looked at Diao Chan with a half-smile, "Miss Diao Chan, why are you suddenly so afraid? Could it be... that you are from the heavens to sow discord between Fengxian and Divine Man?"]
["I... I... no..."]
[Diao Chan’s secret was exposed, causing her to involuntarily take a few steps back.]
[Wuyou shook her head, evidently, this Diao Chan had never traveled the mortal world, despite cultivating for a hundred years, her experiences were too few.]
["No need to be afraid, that was just a story. Dong Zhuo was slain by General Guan and General Zhang working together."]
["Moreover... if you can change Fengxian’s heart, I will have to thank you greatly." She stared blankly into the distance.]
["Change..." Diao Chan did not understand.]
["Follow me."]
[Wuyou bid farewell to the old man and set off together.]
[Three hundred miles outside Jiuyuan City.]
[On a not-so-high hill, rows of graves covered the area, looking eerie and terrifying, and amidst this deathly silence, a lone wooden house stood prominently.]
["We’re here, up ahead is where Fengxian resides."]
[Wuyou looked towards the wooden house among the graves.]
["Why is he residing here?"]
[Diao Chan was incredulous.]
[Wuyou sighed, "Fengxian used to live in Jiuyuan City... However, over a century, those he knew died one by one. After burying the last acquaintance, he moved here to guard the graves."]
["Since then, his humanity quickly faded away. In the near future, he will become God Han Huangtian, towering in the heavens, unbiased and impartial to all beings... That kind of world is the Great Dao I have pursued all my life, but it requires the sacrifice of Fengxian alone."]
[She paused and continued.]
["But I regret it."]
["So, I hope you can help change Fengxian’s heart, so he doesn’t become God Han Huangtian..."]
[Diao Chan looked at Wuyou in astonishment.]
[God Han Huangtian is indestructible and selfless, which is a good thing for all beings.]
["You want to overthrow Divine Man?!" Diao Chan stared at Wuyou with wide eyes. She had lived in Divine Man for a while and found it satisfactory, not wishing for the world to return to its original state.]
[Hence, she remained in place, idle.]
[Yet this "Master Wuyou," who dedicated her life to this, did not want to see such a God Han Huangtian?]
[Wuyou shook her head.]
["We have awakened the wisdom of all beings, changed their perception, and people no longer resort to violence first when disputes arise, nor do the strong prey on the weak. Everything flourishes."]
["But in the future, the population will increase, and we have no right to stop beings from pursuing freedom. By then, the resources of heaven and earth will be insufficient to sustain life, and Divine Man will, like the countless Immortal Gods in the sky, use war, celestial calamities, and plagues to clear the excess population. This is reincarnation."]
["But none of us wish to become such a person, nor can we ensure that we won’t change our hearts when that day comes, so we need a ’constant’ person to become Yellow Heaven, under which all things are equal."]
["Fengxian decided to transform into Yellow Heaven, generating resources endlessly from ’Wish Power’ and continually expanding this world to accommodate more living beings. This is our only solution to ending ’reincarnation.’"]
["Among us, only Fengxian and I have unwavering hearts."]
[Diao Chan, upon hearing this, felt respectful towards these idealists who established Divine Man.]
[The human heart is fickle.]
[Three-year-old Diao Chan only wanted to eat her fill, five-year-old Diao Chan only wanted to survive, seven-year-old Diao Chan only wanted to enter the Dao, ten-year-old Diao Chan wanted to attain Dao and become immortal, a hundred-year-old Diao Chan then wanted—]
[At each stage, Diao Chan harbors different aspirations and pursuits.]
[Regarding Lü Bu, who willingly sacrifices himself for the benefit of all beings, a subtle curiosity arises within Diao Chan’s heart.]
[It must be understood that Lü Bu was born as the world’s number one martial general, defeating alone the Great Sage Equal to Heaven who is the Lord of the Celestial Court, causing the Immortal Gods, Three Religions, and Hundred Schools to all bow before this towering existence.]
[Why is he so adamant on changing the world? What benefit does such a being reap from this?]
[The answer is, there is no benefit.]
[At the same time, Diao Chan understands Wuyou’s choice, she solemnly nodded, "Master Wuyou, Diao Chan can help you."]
["Thank you, Miss Diao Chan." Wuyou bowed deeply to Diao Chan: "Fengxian became acquainted with me, influenced by Taiping, and has come to this point today. My life has been busy saving the people of the world, but now I want to save one last person."]
[Diao Chan quickly supported Wuyou, "I will do my best."]
[There is no method in this world that achieves both outcomes.]
[The two slowly walk towards the hillside, Wuyou comes to the wooden house, arranges his clothing, and softly calls out: "Fengxian."]
[After a moment.]
[Diao Chan sees a young man push open the door and come out, his gaze bewildered, looking as if he has just woken up and his consciousness hasn’t fully returned. He is not imposing in stature, nor does he have any remarkable qualities in his demeanor.]
[Lü Bu? World’s number one martial general? Yellow Heaven Incarnation?]
[Defeated the Great Sage Equal to Heaven of the Celestial Court alone?!]
[Diao Chan’s eyes can’t quite believe that this ordinary young man is the great existence spoken of by Master Wuyou and all beings.]
["Wuyou, you’re here."]
[Lü Bu responds, looking at the stunning young woman beside Wuyou, frowning slightly.]
[Diao Chan takes a deep breath, steps forward, and speaks astonishingly, "Great Sage, Divine Man’s great calamity is at hand!"]
["The Dao Lineage of the Three Religions and Hundred Schools doesn’t want you to become God Han Huangtian. They sent Diao Chan down to the mortal world to change the Great Sage’s mind...I..."]
[Before Diao Chan’s words could finish.]
["Great calamity at hand?" Lü Bu lifts his head.]
[Far within the Grotto Heaven, the Sect Leader of the Dao Lineage of the Three Religions and Hundred Schools suddenly feels his Dao Heart tremble, only sensing the impending great calamity. The Sect Leader looks at the disciples in the Grotto Heaven, everyone’s Fortune dims, a sign of impending death.]
[He calculates with his fingers, and his vision goes dark.]
[Boom!!]
[Lü Bu’s body is suddenly encased in a golden flame. He raises his hand and gently grasps, a giant hand that blocks out the sun emerges from the void, grasping a Grotto Heaven hanging on the edge of the world. All beings look up to see the dazzling golden light, their ears echoing with deafening rumble.]
[Following this, golden streams fall densely like rain upon the mortal world. Once touched, mortals undergo a complete transformation. Animals that drink it gain initial wisdom, even the steadfast mountains and rocks are endowed with spirituality.]
[This is the Great Fortune of Heaven and Earth occupied by the Dao Lineage.]
[The other Sect Leaders look up to see a golden figure as giant as a god standing majestically at the pinnacle of the world.]
["That’s... Lü Bu?!"]
["What kind of shocking Divine Techniques are these? Can they really make the Grotto Heaven appear so insignificant under his palm, like dust?"]
["What has that old fellow done to provoke the Great Sage’s such wrath..." A few unaware Sect Leaders of the Dao Lineage watch as Lü Bu crushes the Grotto Heaven with one hand.]
[Boom——]
[The golden giant’s gaze sweeps over the remaining Grotto Heavens. He gently squeezes, and another Grotto Heaven collapses in his palm, a millennia-old Dao Lineage dissipating into oblivion.]
[The Sect Leader struggles with all his might, but is like a worm shaking a tree, unable to even catch Lü Bu’s minuscule attention. This is the insurmountable chasm between them and the Great Divine Power User.]
[Droplets of golden light fall on Diao Chan’s forehead, she is stunned, "Great Sage, what have you just done?"]
["Naturally, it’s their great calamity at hand." Lü Bu said casually, in a short period, he had already crushed thirty-six Grotto Heavens, about half of the Great Fortune of Heaven and Earth scattered to the mortal world.]
[Since the battle at the South Celestial Gate, retrieving a wisp of Divine Thought, and Attaining "Emperor of Heaven and Earth," his Dharma Aspect body had reached infinity.]
[With this move, it is a celestial catastrophe.]
[Lü Bu did not stop, but continued to squeeze the remaining Grotto Heavens.]
["The Great Sage has gone mad, the Great Sage wants to destroy the world, quickly summon the Four Saints!!" The Sect Leaders of the remaining Dao Lineages, realizing their plan had been uncovered, looked visibly terrified, abandoning the Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands, fleeing hastily towards the heights of the sky.]
[Dong——]
[A huge sound, only to see an immense golden lotus pedestal halting Lü Bu.]
["Great Sage, please show mercy." Upon the golden lotus pedestal sits a Child, his expression solemn, "The Grotto Heaven is connected to the Mortal World’s lifeline, and it is a gathering of Heaven and Earth Fortune. It safeguards this sky and earth from external covetousness."]
["If the Grotto Heaven is destroyed, the consequences will be unimaginable..."]
["What if I am unwilling?" Lü Bu said.]
[The Child is silent; they must not let the Dao Lineage of this Heaven and Earth be extinguished. Suddenly, three towering white jade pillars rise, three strands of Divine Thought emerge, transforming into one Elder, one Gentleman, and one Blind Man.]
[They four joined forces, succeeded in fighting the heavens, and suppressing the Lord of the Celestial Court. Now, they are also confident to suppress Lü Bu, who has yet to achieve the status of "Heaven,".]
["We share a common enemy, one that is making a comeback. We still need the Great Sage’s strength. Unless absolutely necessary, we do not wish to be enemies with the Great Sage... We ask the Great Sage to think carefully before acting."]
["Just relying on you?" Lü Bu replied coldly.]
["In my eyes, you are all enemies, without exception."]
