Chapter 1121: Chapter 1119: A Golden Edict Slays the Supreme 4
Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
“Impressive, my Old Gao.”
“This time you really pulled it off.”
“Whoa. So that so-called Dao Ancestor Qingping really is the legendary Lord of Heaven…”
Gushe was excited, but before she could finish, she saw that the Bodhisattva avatar of the King of Freedom Buddha also chanted a Buddhist chant, then sighed and walked into the Investiture of the Gods.
Right after it was the Holy Light avatar transformed from the Holy Light Ancestral God.
This sent Gushe into complete excitement.
She had never imagined that after Gao Tianyou used that broken Investiture of the Gods, long since stripped of its former glory, to write down the Oral Edict and Dharma Decree.
Although it still did not cause the Investiture of the Gods to erupt with a world-shaking, all-suppressing power.
It nonetheless possessed an unbelievable marvel.
No matter whether it was the avatar of Dao Ancestor Qingping, the avatar of the Supreme Tathagata, the avatar of the King of Freedom Buddha, the avatar of the Holy Light Ancestral God, or Supreme Emperor Weapons like the Blood Sea Twin Swords and the Heaven-Flipping Golden Seal.
They could only obediently take a trip into the Investiture of the Gods.
Not daring to offer the slightest resistance.
It was truly like a Heaven's Mandate Edict.
Simply unbelievable.
Hm, wait.
Why had the avatar of Emperor Qionggao and the West Empress Mother Goddess's Supreme Emperor Weapon, the Kunlun Jade Pool, not moved?
On the contrary.
“Oh no!”
“Quick, stop Them!”
Gushe cried out in alarm.
She sensed that the avatar of Emperor Qionggao and the West Empress Mother Goddess's Supreme Emperor Weapon, the Kunlun Jade Pool.
Had not only failed to follow the Heaven's Mandate and honor the decree like the avatar of Dao Ancestor Qingping and the others, taking a trip into the Investiture of the Gods.
Instead, without a shred of hesitation, they suddenly erupted.
Attempting to seize the moment when no other Supremes could interfere or intercept.
To use thunderous means and join forces to forcibly Possess and Assimilate the Dusk Mother Goddess.
This sudden turn of events left Gushe horrified beyond measure.
But whether it was Gao Tianyou or Princess Longji, neither showed the slightest shock. Instead, they watched Emperor Qionggao and the West Empress Mother Goddess's desperate gamble with barely concealed anticipation.
“So They are still unwilling, in the end?”
“But unfortunately, if you refuse to keep your own dignity, then someone will naturally help you keep it.”
Amid the faint, drifting voice.
When the avatar of Emperor Qionggao burrowed into the Dusk Mother Goddess's body, grasping the West Empress Mother Goddess's Supreme Emperor Weapon, the Kunlun Jade Pool, intending to use supreme will.
To erase and suppress the self-awareness just born within the Dusk Mother Goddess at the fastest speed, and then, in one continuous effort, possess and assimilate Yuyao's Primordial Spirit likewise lodged within the Dusk Mother Goddess's body.
Suddenly.
Light. Light from every direction, following the still-broken Investiture of the Gods in Gao Tianyou's hand.
As if it could illuminate and pierce through the entire Boundary-Wall Void Sea, even the entire Myriad Realms.
More terrifying than the previous battle of Supremes, more impossible to defy.
It was as if a Mandate of Heaven will that could override the Myriad Beings had abruptly descended.
But everyone knew.
The Boundary-Wall Void Sea had no Heavenly Dao.
And within the entire Myriad Realms, there did not exist a single Mandate of Heaven will that could pierce through all Cosmos and override everything.
If one had to say there was a similar will that even Supremes could not defy.
Then it could only be the Supreme Shared Fate.
“So They each left behind a contingency before departing.”
Gao Tianyou sighed softly, straining to open his eyes wide.
Trying to grasp and trace this suddenly arising light, coming from all Supremes of the Myriad Realms, including the Supreme Heavenly Immortals of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm, representing all Supreme Wills.
Where exactly it came from, and where it must be hidden.
But unfortunately, this light was too profound. He could not grasp it.
So he could only give up helplessly, casting his gaze and perception toward the Dusk Mother Goddess. More precisely, toward Yuyao, standing atop the Dusk Mother Goddess's head.
After the light was extinguished.
The long-absent darkness once again swept across the entire Boundary-Wall Void Sea.
The Myriad Beings panicked, at a loss.
Only the Lord God's cold notification of mission completion sent the majority of Reincarnators, still kept in the dark, into wild joy.
“The mission is complete?”
“We actually completed an unimaginable mission like besieging Supremes?”
“Don't flatter yourselves. What does the mission being complete have to do with us?”
“That's not entirely true either. I don't know exactly what happened. But the mission could be completed, and Gao Tianyou could successfully suppress and slay these Supreme avatars.”
“All because we lent him a bit of light.”
“That counts too?”
“Hm, how could it not count?”
…
Some clever Reincarnators had already guessed how this mission to besiege the Supremes had actually been completed.
They were delighted, full of ambition.
But there were still fools.
For example, someone like Gushe, still staring wide-eyed, fixedly gazing at the Dusk Mother Goddess.
Wanting to know whether the avatar of Emperor Qionggao and the West Empress Mother Goddess's Supreme Emperor Weapon, the Kunlun Jade Pool — those who had refused to obey the decree and fall into the Investiture of the Gods — were still there.
And the answer, of course, was no.
That Supreme avatar of Emperor Qionggao and the West Empress Mother Goddess's Supreme Emperor Weapon, the Kunlun Jade Pool, had already turned to ash along with the vanished light.
What did it mean for a divine ability to be no match for fate?
This was what it meant for a divine ability to be no match for fate!
No matter that the Supreme avatar of Emperor Qionggao possessed the spirit to sweep the All Heavens invincible.
No matter that the West Empress Mother Goddess's Supreme Emperor Weapon, the Kunlun Jade Pool, could make the Myriad Beings bow their heads.
But before true fate, they were no more than illusion.
Because this time, what defeated Them, what forced a group of Supreme contingencies — including the avatar of Dao Ancestor Qingping and the avatar of the Supreme Tathagata — to cut themselves down.
Was not the broken Investiture of the Gods, nor Gao Tianyou who had borrowed a bit of light from the Reincarnator Army.
It was not even Lin Qi's schemes and calculations.
It was the true great trend, the true fate.
Just as had happened countless billions of years ago, in the Investiture of the Gods battle of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm's Ancient Era.
Fate measured the kalpas, the Saints deliberated together, the Three Sects' Deliberation.
Thus those who should enter the Investiture of the Gods.
No matter that your spiritual power was boundless, your divine abilities vast, even that a Saint stood behind you.
Before fate, you likewise had no choice but to take a trip into the Investiture of the Gods.
Even though Jiang Ziya's cultivation was shallow, no more than an ant's.
But holding the Investiture of the Gods, even someone as strong as the Lord of Heaven could only sigh in futility.
And this time.
Though Gao Tianyou was not the legendary Jiang Ziya.
At this very moment, when Gao Tianyou held that broken Investiture of the Gods, he too could speak and have reality follow, with Heaven's Mandate on his side.
After all, when Gao Tianyou — destined to preside over the Eighth Commandment: the descent of the Heavenly Dao, and even designated as the Eighth Commandment's Commandment Spirit — picked up the former Investiture of the Gods.
The Supremes of All Heavens, every existence who had lived through that great calamity of Investiture of the Gods back then.
Should know.
At this very moment, Gao Tianyou was truly like Jiang Ziya in the Investiture of the Gods battle of old, truly acting on behalf of heaven, as though he were fate itself.
Those Supreme avatars and Supreme Emperor Weapons that had fallen into the Investiture of the Gods, self-destructing, ending themselves.
They had not truly been killed by Gao Tianyou's spiritual power, nor by the revived power of that broken Investiture of the Gods.
They had abandoned the small self to complete the Mandate of Heaven.
After all, Their Main Bodies.
The true Dao Ancestor Qingping, the Supreme Tathagata, and the rest — none of Them were willing, before Dream Bubble Shadow's Eighth Commandment: the Heavenly Dao had truly descended.
To be written into the Heavenly Dao's little notebook, and thus pointlessly obstruct Their own cultivation after entering Dream Bubble Shadow.
After all, there was still much time to deal with Dream Bubble Shadow's Eighth Commandment: the Heavenly Dao in the future.
Even someone as strong as Dao Ancestor Qingping, the Supreme Tathagata, likewise did not wish to have not yet comprehended Dream Bubble Shadow's Eighth Commandment: the Heavenly Dao.
Only to be recorded by the Eighth Commandment: the Heavenly Dao, telling Them, you want to fuse with me?
Fuse my ass, first pay back the karma you owe this Heavenly Dao before we talk.
So you understand now.
At this moment, Gao Tianyou, holding the broken Investiture of the Gods, One Golden Edict to Slay the Supreme.
What he relied on was not boundless spiritual power or vast divine abilities.
What he relied on was that the Mandate of Heaven was on his side!
Thus those willing to preserve their own dignity entered the Investiture of the Gods themselves, cutting themselves down to fulfill fate.
Those unwilling to preserve their own dignity.
Like that Supreme avatar of Emperor Qionggao and the West Empress Mother Goddess's Supreme Emperor Weapon, the Kunlun Jade Pool.
Naturally, there were Supremes and Heavenly Immortals willing to uphold this Mandate of Heaven and fate, who joined forces.
Their wills descended, and they joined hands to execute Them.
“So after all that.”
“It was merely Them weighing the pros and cons.”
Under Gao Tianyou's patient explanation, Gushe finally understood the ins and outs.
For a moment, she did not know what to say either.
She could only shake her head, feeling that this world was truly too complicated.
“But that's not right.”
“Since Dao Ancestor Qingping and the others all know that the wise adapt to circumstances.”
“Then Emperor Qionggao and the West Empress Mother Goddess can't possibly be this stubborn, right?”
Gushe suddenly figured it out and asked.
Before Gao Tianyou could answer, Princess Longji at his side pointed at Yuyao, still standing atop the Dusk Mother Goddess's head.
“They are not being stubborn.”
“It is merely that They can advance to attack, retreat to defend.”
“Gamble everything on one throw. If They succeed, the benefits gained will naturally offset the risk.”
“And if They fail.”
Princess Longji smiled self-mockingly. “Perhaps you will even have to thank Them.”
“We're not fools. It'd be one thing if we didn't hold a grudge, but we have to thank Them too?”
Gushe was astonished, thinking Princess Longji was joking.
But a moment later, she saw Yuyao, standing atop the Dusk Mother Goddess's head, her Primordial Spirit leaving her body, wanting to control the Dusk Mother Goddess — suddenly open her eyes.
Then Yuyao's expression turned subtle, and she actually gave a slight bow toward the Void. “Many thanks, Fellow Daoist.”
That single line, many thanks Fellow Daoist, instantly left Gushe speechless.
She instinctively wanted to open her mouth and question whether Yuyao's brain had gone muddled.
But then she saw Yuyao reach out and pat the Dusk Mother Goddess's enormous head.
The next second.
The Dusk Mother Goddess's vast, sun-and-moon-like titanic body instantly swayed and rose, carrying a world-shaking aura of destruction.
Like a God of Destruction capable of annihilating all Cosmos.
Gazing down coldly at the world.
Then, just like that, carrying Yuyao, it walked step by step toward Gushe and the others.
“Let's go.”
“We are going to see Lin Qi.”
Yuyao spoke, unable to conceal her joy.
She finally had, once again, the confidence that she could truly help Lin Qi.
And this confidence naturally came from the Dusk Mother Goddess beneath her feet.
No.
It should no longer be called the Dusk Mother Goddess.
It should be called: the West Empress Emperor, Lord of Dusk Destruction.
Because from the West Empress Mother Goddess, Emperor Qionggao, and the Dusk Mother Goddess's self-awakened will of destruction, the three interwove and contended.
Together, they had forged for Yuyao an undying avatar that could be commanded like one's own arm, comparable to a Supreme avatar.
Thus, after being trapped in the Holy Hall Cosmos for several thousand years.
Yuyao, who had originally been about to fall behind Lin Qi's pace.
Finally received an epic-level enhancement.
Lin Qi could finally eat soft rice again!
