The villain is utterly immoral; with a dragon charging right in his face, how could he possibly lose

"father……"

Upon seeing Gu Qing, Gu Nian felt a chill run through her body, because Gu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged on the Golden Lotus of the Great Dao, had no human presence whatsoever, and was like a supreme source of the Great Dao.

"You shouldn't have come." Gu Qing opened her eyes, a hint of emotion flashing in them, before turning indifferent again.

"Father, you've already passed away, how could I not come?"

Gu Nian's voice was trembling with tears as she tried to enter the Golden Lotus of the Great Dao to embrace Gu Qing, but she was blocked by Gu Qing's Great Dao Laws.

"You can't help me, go back."

Gu Qing looked at her, but felt no emotion whatsoever. It was as if he were facing a complete stranger. Gu Nian was no different from any other ordinary person.

"Father is so powerful, he should be able to destroy the Dao Ancestor's Dao Fruit, right? Mother and my aunts are waiting for your return every moment."

Gu Nian bit her red lips and said, trying to awaken the emotions and desires in Gu Qing's heart.

After all, Gu Qing loved them so much. Compared to the Star Mother and the many women, the three sisters were more like an accident.

"they……"

Gu Qing paused, her usually calm heart stirred, and her eyes revealed a newfound emotion.

Turning his head to look at Youmeng beside him, Gu Qing seemed to be deep in thought.

Gu Qing remembered why he had become the Dao Ancestor.

When Gu Qing reached the ninth level of perfect Dao Lord, he awoke from his enlightenment, but still resolutely stepped into the Dao Ancestor realm in one go.

Gu Qing had already deduced that there were immeasurable calamities in the Chaos Realm, and under these immeasurable calamities, all beings below the Dao Ancestor Realm would be annihilated.

Even the Dao Ancestor is at risk of perishing.

Furthermore, if he doesn't become the Dao Ancestor, he will lose Youmeng, Zhimeng, and Jiang Yu.

As he thought about it, boundless Daoist wisdom surged into his mind, almost overwhelming his reason and turning him into a puppet of the Great Dao devoid of any emotion.

Gu Qing had no time to think and immediately used his backup plan, forming hand seals with his hands, his body emanating an aura of immeasurable calamity.

This was a backup plan he had prepared before his breakthrough: he condensed a seed of great calamity, which continuously absorbed his Dao Fruit power to grow.

Even if Gu Nian doesn't come to find him, the seed of calamity will still erupt at the time Gu Qing predetermined, eroding his Dao fruit and awakening him from his state of ruthlessness and desirelessness.

Of course, Gu Qing did not condense the seed of tribulation for suicide; the seed of tribulation was merely to awaken his rationality.

Once his rationality returned, Gu Qing had his own way to save himself, which was also the source of his confidence to break through to the Dao Ancestor level.

“The power of… the power of a calamity…” Gu Nian retreated frantically, his expression one of shock.

The power of a great calamity is something that can annihilate the laws of the Great Dao, and it is also a calamity for all living beings. If she were to be touched even a trace of it, she would instantly disintegrate and perish.

After all, the power of the Great Calamity is the power of destruction of everything, and Gu Nian had also entered the Boundless Secret Realm to comprehend it.

He had grasped the basics, but dared not go any further.

The deeper one's understanding, the faster one dies; the power of a calamity can destroy everything without distinguishing friend from foe.

However, Gu Qing actually mastered the power of the Great Calamity, which almost overturned her understanding.

Perhaps this is what that old geezer meant by "special".

Gu Qing possesses the power of the Great Calamity; isn't he the only variable?

Thinking of this, Gu Nian was overjoyed, her excitement overflowing.

Originally, she intended to use herself as a vessel to refine Gu Qing's Dao Fruit, since she was Gu Qing's bloodline and could perfectly bear Gu Qing's Dao.

Then, a wisp of Gu Qing's true spirit was extracted, allowing Gu Qing to be reborn and reunite with her mother and aunts.

Sacrificing her alone brings happiness to the whole family.

hum!

Gu Qing felt as if he were enveloped by a magical yet real treasure bottle, which was refining him.

This is the Chaos Bottle.

Having been refined by Gu Qing, it has grown into a half-step Chaos Treasure.

It was the perfect material to seal away the boundless chaos of his Dao Fruit.

Moreover, once the Chaos Treasure Bottle absorbs his Dao Fruit, it will definitely grow into a true Chaos Treasure, possessing unlimited growth potential.

Everything unfolded exactly as Gu Qing had predicted. The Chaos Bottle had devoured his Dao Fruit, and since the Chaos Bottle was his natal treasure, he could freely use the power of the Dao Ancestor.

"It's done!"

Gu Qing was overjoyed, her face beaming with delight and her spirits soaring.

"Father, sob sob sob..."

Upon seeing this, Gu Nian rushed into her father's arms and burst into tears.

She has suffered so much these past years, carrying the hopes of everyone.

Every time she saw the anxious and sorrowful expression on the face of the Star Mother, her heart ached.

Now, she no longer has to bear the pressure she was supposed to bear; she can live freely.

Gu Qing gently patted her back, knowing that her daughter had indeed suffered a lot and endured too much pressure over the years.

After Gu Nian finished crying, Gu Qing pushed her away and looked at her soaked clothes with disgust.

"Hey, you're a grown woman now, still crying and sobbing, aren't you ashamed? Go away, go away."

Gu Nian, with glistening tears still clinging to her eyelashes, looked at her elderly father with bewilderment, as if asking why he had pushed her away.

But upon hearing Gu Qing's words, she was momentarily stunned, then angrily began to violently punch her father.

"Dad, you're so annoying, I don't want you to be my dad..."

She was really furious.

How could there be such a despicable father in the world?

She suffered such a great injustice, can't we let her cry for a moment, can't we let her indulge herself for a while?

Gu Nian suddenly wanted to change her father, to find a father who doted on his daughter.

"You've gone against the Heavenly Gang..." Gu Qing pinched her little face with both hands and played with her for a while.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Gu Qing smiled and said, "Nian'er, not bad, you actually broke through to the half-step Dao Ancestor."

"Hmph, do you even need to tell me? If the Great Dao weren't so ruthless, I would have already broken through to the Dao Ancestor level." Gu Nian snorted, turned her head away, and gave me a "I'm angry, come and coax me" look.

She wasn't exaggerating.

She was only half a Dao Ancestor because she suppressed her power; if she hadn't suppressed it, she would have already grown into a true Dao Ancestor.

"Do you want me to help you break down your cultivation level?"

Even a half-step Dao Ancestor is still a Dao Ancestor, and that boundless power of the Great Dao has already affected Gu Nian's mind.

"Hmph, whatever." Gu Nian was secretly delighted, but on the surface she still pretended to be unwilling, not wanting Gu Qing to look down on her.

Seeing her haughty demeanor, Gu Qing wanted to tease her a little more, but he had other things to do, so he gave up. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future to make Gu Nian understand that her father was still her father.

Gu Qing pointed a finger at her brow, and a burst of light erupted from her fingertip, knocking her down from the half-step Dao Ancestor realm to the ninth level of perfection.

And it will seal away the source of the Gu Nian.

Because Gu Nian's original source is too heaven-defying, it will naturally evolve. Even if she doesn't cultivate, sooner or later her Dao Fruit will evolve into the Dao Ancestor Dao Fruit.

"Go back quickly and tell them I'm fine, don't worry, I'll be back soon." Gu Qing waved his hand.

"Oh!"

Gu Nian glanced at You Meng beside her and reluctantly said, "Then come back quickly, we're all waiting for you."

"Ok!"

After Gu Nian left, Gu Qing used his Dao Eye to check on You Meng's condition. After pondering for a while, Gu Qing reached out and stroked her, bringing her back to her senses.
