Chapter 298: The First Commandment 2

Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators

Dream-Making Expert

Ten thousand years later, the Great Mayfly Calamity swept across All Heavens, sinking the Myriad Realms.

The core it relied upon was bolstered by the favor of the Cosmos’s Heavenly Dao.

It tampered with the law of life that sustained all living beings.

Leaving countless beings across the Cosmos able to do nothing but Live at Dawn, Die at Dusk.

This was the so-called Hearing the Dao at Dawn.

The terrifying part of this law was not that it caused the Cosmos’s living beings to live at dawn and die at dusk.

Rather, it struck with clear precision at the irreconcilable contradiction between the Heavenly Dao and all living beings.

Or rather, the eternal conflict between those above and those below.

That is, those below always want to become those above.

While those above instinctively want to seal off every possibility of rebellion from below.

Standing at the apex of the Cosmos’s pyramid, the existences who controlled everything.

They did not care whether what they ruled was a Mayfly Empire or a Cattle and Horse Empire.

What they cared about was forever only their own rule.

An eternal rule that no one could overthrow.

Mortals were like this. Cultivators who gathered individual greatness into one body were the same.

Otherwise.

With the Myriad Realms today bathed in Buddhist light, with spells flourishing, with demons running rampant.

The Buddhist order would not have only eight Supremes.

The Demon Race would not have only thirteen Great Emperors.

When there are too many peak powerhouses, they can no longer be called Peerless.

When there are too many Supremes, they can no longer be called Supreme.

The Great Mayfly Calamity ten thousand years later was a natural disaster, but even more certainly a man-made one.

Now that it had been exposed.

Then there was no choice but to resolve and erase it in advance.

And the method chosen, in truth, carried a hint of Hearing the Dao at Dawn as well.

Diverting the flood elsewhere did not amount to much.

All he could say was that it suppressed the influence Hearing the Dao at Dawn could bring to the lowest degree.

The genuine Hearing the Dao at Dawn would plunge all living beings of this Cosmos into the calamity of living at dawn and dying at dusk.

But Hearing the Dao at Dawn with a few details added.

Would land the calamity of living at dawn and dying at dusk upon those beings who walked the Foreign Realm.

Simply put.

With this modified Hearing the Dao at Dawn.

The true Hearing the Dao at Dawn could not appear.

Because of the version conflict, the law’s operation could not be self-consistent.

So even if the Great Mayfly Calamity rose again ten thousand years later.

Using the Hearing the Dao at Dawn law to conquer one Cosmos after another was impossible.

It was like a game where a law had already been defined that everyone could be immune to water damage.

And then forcibly adding another law that doubled water damage.

It would only cause a logic conflict and a runtime error.

The entire game would develop bugs.

Was also why the famous saying ‘those who learn from me live, those who resemble me die’ circulated on the path of cultivation.
