Chapter 621 Chess Pieces
"You... are breaking the rules!"

Lord Yuan Xi said in a deep voice.

"It is you, Master Yuan Xi, who violated the rules! You can just follow the steps to destroy the Gate of Destiny and win, why do you have to do this?"

The Lord of Creation had a cold look on his face: "You can choose to hold back the Taoist Patriarch of Destiny, so that we can destroy the Gate of Destiny as soon as possible, and... let us deprive all living beings of their spirituality!"

"Stay on schedule."

The spiritual fluctuations emanating from Lord Yuan Xi were no longer as gentle and spring-like as before: "Do you think that if you really don't leave any extravagant hope for the Taoist Ancestor of Destiny, will He really let you destroy the Gate of Destiny bit by bit and willingly walk towards death?"

"No matter what means He uses, we will take them!"

Lord Shenluo said calmly: "On the contrary, Lord Yuanxi, your strange behavior at this moment makes me doubt whether you have been eroded by the power of fate and are unconsciously heading towards betrayal of our Hunyuan Realm."

"Yes, Yuan Xi, are you going to start a civil war in the Hunyuan Realm?"

The Lord of Immortality followed closely.

"civil war."

Lord Yuan Xizhi understood the meaning of the two words mentioned by the master.

All along, He has been trying every means to avoid civil war.

But now, the nine overlords seemed to have regarded this as His weakness.

"So, this is a threat?"

The spiritual fluctuations of Lord Yuan Xi became calm again.

But the nine masters could clearly feel the coldness hidden under this calmness, as if a storm was coming.

Immediately, Lord Xiyu added: "I am only stating what will happen if we continue to confront each other, but neither of us wants to see a civil war, especially when we are about to reap the fruits of victory."

“The fruits of victory.”

Lord Yuan Xi looked at the nine masters who were confronting him, and suddenly said, "Is there a possibility that the current tension is part of the counterattack of the Taoist Ancestor of Destiny?"

"Doesn't that further prove that the Taoist Master of Destiny never intended to surrender so easily?"

The Lord of Creation immediately said, "What the Taoist Master of Destiny said about merging with you is just a trick to paralyze us. We should not be fooled."

"I know very well whether the fusion of Fate Daozu is true or false."

Yuan Xizhi advocated Taoism.

The spiritual power in Him is like an abyss. No one knows how terrifying the power will be when it is fully unleashed.

But He remained calm.

"My premise for avoiding civil war is that you still abide by the rules, but now, you... are already breaking the rules."

This attitude made the nine masters completely certain that the fusion of Lord Yuan Xi and Daozu of Destiny was irreversible.

Then, He had only two choices.

One, unwaveringly continues to merge with the Daozu of Destiny, betting that he will eventually win in this fusion.

another……

Self-defeating.

He admitted that he had been defeated by the Daozu of Destiny and was being eroded by him.

And then...

All intelligent creatures and immortal spirits in the Hunyuan Realm will abandon their Lord Yuan Xi, and all the spirituality and computing power they have contributed will be transferred to their nine overlords!
The nine overlords will truly control the great world of Hunyuan Realm and become powerful enough to reach the level they have always dreamed of!
therefore……

Some of the more impatient rulers have begun to speak out.

"Rules are meant to be broken!"

The Lord of Tianyuan said calmly: "The evolution of rules must keep pace with the times! Only by constantly modifying and improving the rules can we adapt to the trend of the times and the changes in society! The Hunyuan Realm will soon swallow up the Ancient Immortal Realm, and its scale will double. It is not appropriate to use the previous rules! Therefore, for the progress of the times and for the development of the world, what we do is absolutely right!"

The other masters did not speak, but they obviously agreed with what Lord Tianyuan said.

Rules are meant to be broken.

and so……

The rules, at this moment, no longer exist.

Lord Yuan Xi fell silent.

But His gaze was not focused on the Nine Lords, but rather turned to the Taoist Ancestor of Destiny in a strange way.

“Is this the power of fate?”

"Some of it, but not all of it."

The will of the Fate Daozu was like a clear spring, rippling in the spiritual perception of the Yuan Xi Lord: "You miscalculated something, the selfishness of intelligent creatures, or in other words, human nature? Although you belong to the will of all living beings, you exist according to the rules. Therefore, you don't understand what the human heart is evil, and you don't understand the truth that in the face of true interests, everything can be broken and everything can be trampled."

"No, I calculated this and also substituted the relevant simulation results, but... the Nine Overlords may cause trouble for me in order to ensure their own interests, but they should not do it to this extent."

Lord Yuan Xi seemed to have a question for the first time: "What is it that makes them stand against me, even at the risk of civil war or even a complete defeat in the war between the two worlds? I have deduced all the variables and even considered their desires, greed, and evil thoughts to the maximum extent... But all desires are worthless in the face of the risk of disappearance and destruction. Their attitude should not be so firm."

“What makes people make decisions beyond rationality is never desire, greed, or evil thoughts.”

The Taoist Master of Destiny calmly gave the answer: "It is hope!"

"hope?"

Lord Yuan Xizhi was a little stunned.

"Yes, I hope."

The Taoist Master of Destiny responded: "The biggest mistake you made was giving the Nine Overlords hope."

He answered: "The Gate of Cause and Effect is the seed I threw out, a seed that gives hope to the Nine Overlords. Before the Gate of Cause and Effect was breached, although the Nine Overlords had a strong voice in the Hunyuan Realm and could even interfere with some of your decisions, it was still you who truly controlled this war and dominated the Hunyuan Realm. But as the Gate of Cause and Effect was breached, the Nine Overlords gained unprecedented power. During this process, under the threat of the impending decisive battle, you were extremely cautious and did not control or pay attention to this. Instead, you put all your energy on me to prevent me from launching a final counterattack..." Lord Yuan Xi's calculation efficiency was so fast.

When the Taoist Ancestor of Destiny said this, He already understood the meaning He needed to express.

only……

Really didn't expect that.

The one who gave the nine masters power and gave them the confidence to stand firmly against Him was actually...

hope!

"They saw your weakness. Even if... it's not actually your weakness, in their eyes, you are no longer invincible even though you have a weakness. In mortal terms, a god who bleeds is no longer a god!"

The will fluctuations of the Fate Daozu resumed their unhurried pace: "At this critical moment, I chose to merge myself into you, and you accepted this choice. This is equivalent to you giving them hope, but then ruthlessly taking it away at the last moment when hope is about to be realized."

After hearing this, Lord Yuan Xizhi did not respond for a long time.

He seemed to be calculating at full speed how to break the game set up by the Daozu of Destiny with the power of destiny.

If He is given enough time, He might be able to come up with an answer.

but……

The nine great masters obviously would not let him delay the time like this.

And this is also the cleverness of the layout of the Taoist Ancestor of Destiny.

Finally, He said with some admiration: "This is a great plan to survive from the brink of death. It is linked together. Once it is activated, you will not give me any chance to breathe. This is your true strength."

"you flatter me."

The Taoist Ancestor of Destiny responded without any sadness or joy.

"So, I was actually the loser?"

As Lord Yuan Xi spoke, his spiritual fluctuations were filled with strangeness.

After all, not long ago, the Lord of Destiny admitted that he was the loser.

Now it seems that the words "I lost" were actually a question.

“At the moment, it seems to be the case.”

Daozu of Destiny: "Unless you have some means to fight back."

"The means of counterattack..."

After hearing this, Lord Yuan Xizhi's spiritual fluctuations became active.

He laughed: "It's not that I don't have it, for example... my courage."

"Shut down yourself and give all your spiritual power to the nine masters?"

The Taoist Master of Destiny asked.

“It’s not closed.”

Master Yuan Xi looked at Daozu of Destiny and said, "Instead, I will take you with me to extinction. At worst, I will injure you severely, so that you, Daozu of Destiny, will not be able to interfere with the operation of the two worlds for a long time."

He smiled and said, “In the end, maybe I will lose and die, but in the end, the Nine Overlords will destroy the Gate of Destiny, and Hunyuan Realm will become the final winner.”

When He mentioned death, it did not mean that He would perish together with the Daozu of Destiny. He just wanted to prove that it was He who lost, not the Hunyuan Realm.

As long as this is proven, given that Lord Yuan Xi and Daozu of Destiny have a different understanding of life and death from that of "intelligent creatures", this war will still end with Daozu of Destiny willingly merging into Lord Yuan Xi and the ancient fairyland merging into the Hunyuan world.

"The Nine Overlords cannot erase the Gate of Destiny."

The Taoist Ancestor of Destiny said with a smile.

"The Ancient Immortal Realm has run out of chess pieces to play with. As long as you, the Taoist Patriarch of Destiny, are unable to interfere, I believe they can still do this."

Master Yuan Xi also expressed his confidence: "After several years, the Hunyuan Realm and the Ancient Immortal Realm will be completely integrated and indistinguishable from each other. The will of all living beings will also be reunited, and Master Yuan Xi will be resurrected again."

"Who said that we in the Ancient Immortal Realm have no chess pieces to use?"

The Taoist Master of Destiny laughed.

"Ok?"

The Three Thousand Great Ways flashed through Lord Yuan Xizhi’s mind again.

It was soon confirmed that there was no longer any Dao Ancestor in the ancient fairy world.

But the attitude of the Fate Daozu...

"who is it?"

The gaze of the Taoist Ancestor of Destiny immediately fell on a person.

Lord Yuan Xizhi followed His will and saw the person He was talking about.

"Yuxiao?"

"No!"

The Taoist Master of Destiny reiterated, “It’s Yaoguang.”
