Capítulo 1072: Chapter 1091: Hope for Reviving Liu Baiyi
Silence, oppression, voiceless!
When the Heavenly Dao’s will gave Ye Xuan such an answer, Ye Xuan’s aura gradually became somber. A burst of power from the Heavenly Dao Eighth Tribulation was erupting.
“As the Heavenly Dao operates, all things flourish. Even if the soul is scattered and annihilated, it can be reassembled under the reversal of the Heavenly Dao’s will, allowing the one I wish to see to reappear in the world,” Ye Xuan said coldly.
“The Great Dao is above, the Heavenly Dao is below; I am the Heavenly Dao, governing the operations of all things. However, I cannot reverse a person’s inevitable fate, nor can I reverse the rules set by the Great Dao. This is the theorem of fate and the rules of all heavens,” the Heavenly Dao’s will said solemnly.
Rumble!
Darkness boundless, silence breeds, the Heavenly Punishment Halberd suddenly appeared in Ye Xuan’s hand. The halberd’s tip flickered with the Power of Silence Annihilation, glaringly bright, pointing towards the Heavenly Dao’s will in the void.
“Either help me, or die.”
A simple sentence was spat out from Ye Xuan’s mouth, the murderous intent of Shinra Banshou manifesting, that sliver of killing intent focused on the Heavenly Dao’s will, clearly showing that Ye Xuan was not merely making threats but was genuinely intent on killing.
Quiet, silence, an oppression to the extreme point of silence.
The Heavenly Dao’s will remained silent. Although devoid of the seven emotions and six desires of all beings, it had an innate fear of destruction.
“Ye Xuan, even though you have stepped into the Heavenly Dao Eighth Tribulation and mastered two Supreme powers, you still cannot kill me unless you enter the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations,” the Heavenly Dao’s will finally spoke after several moments of silence.
“Since you seek destruction, I shall oblige you.”
Swoosh!
The Big Halberd sliced through the void, the chilling glare from Silence Annihilation flickered, the cultivation of the Heavenly Dao Eight Tribulations roaring out, and that trace of Power of Space-Time instantly sealed the Heavenly Dao Space, a world-ending murderous intent spreading out.
“Wait.”
The Heavenly Dao’s will suddenly spoke.
“What else do you want to say?” Ye Xuan squinted his eyes slightly.
“Ye Xuan, I truly have no way to resurrect the person you wish to revive because that person you wish to revive has already died and dissipated,” the Heavenly Dao’s will said somberly.
“Do you take me for a three-year-old child?”
Ye Xuan said coldly, “The so-called soul scattering is merely the soul shattering between Heaven and Earth. As long as the fragments of the soul are regathered, that person can reappear.”
“Ye Xuan, what you said is indeed correct, but soul scattering represents death, which is the supreme truth set by the rules of fate. No one can change this, not even I as the Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, the Chaos Thunder Tribulation will descend upon this world, and even the Primordial Heaven and Earth would be wiped out,” the Heavenly Dao’s will said heavily.
“I don’t want your explanation; I just want the result,” Ye Xuan said coldly.
The Heavenly Dao’s will went silent again. It truly did not want to battle Ye Xuan, for the current Ye Xuan was already too powerful; even it, as the Heavenly Dao’s will, faced the risk of annihilation.
“There is another way, but this way will come at a great cost to you. I don’t know if you are willing to pay it,” the Heavenly Dao’s will said heavily after several moments.
“What way?” Ye Xuan’s eyes moved.
“Traverse between the past and the future, using Great Magical Power to return to that distant past. At the moment of his impending death, bring back his soul mark, which will allow his soul to be reassembled in this lifetime,” the Heavenly Dao’s will said gravely.
“Are you trying to harm me?”
Suddenly, Ye Xuan’s expression changed, and extremely terrifying killing intent erupted. His gaze towards the Heavenly Dao’s will was filled with a chilling coldness.
Travel to the past and the future!
That sentence sounded simple, but for the current Ye Xuan, it was utterly impossible.
Although he had initially mastered the Power of Time, he could not traverse the past and future; he could only deduce past events and glimpse a bit into the future. If he could enter the River of Time and return to the past, he wouldn’t need to seek the Heavenly Dao’s will; he could resurrect Liu Baiyi completely on his own.
Back then, when the Three Tribulations descended, he summoned the River of Time to bring forth the Future Body, and that was achieved at the cost of his own life. The inherent dangers within are not something outsiders could comprehend.
“You are mistaken.”
Before Ye Xuan could erupt, the Heavenly Dao’s will spoke gravely: “What I mean by returning to the past is not to summon the River of Time, but to let your Power of Space-Time, combined with my reversal of the Heavenly Dao’s rules, allow your spiritual will to traverse back to that distant past.”
“But I must warn you, your spiritual will, although returned to the past, cannot alter any events that have already happened. If you dare to interfere in anything, the rules of fate will instantly obliterate you.”
“All you have to do is return to the time when the person was about to die and imprint his soul mark. Only then can you use his soul mark in the present to regather his shattered soul,” the Heavenly Dao’s will explained eloquently.
“Why should I trust you?” Ye Xuan’s mind stirred as he asked.
“Whether you trust me is entirely up to you, but I must tell you, if I help you reverse the Heavenly Dao’s rules to return to the past, I will also fall into an extremely weakened state, and you will suffer backlash from the Power of Space-Time. You should consider the serious implications,” the Heavenly Dao’s will said gravely.
Reversing the Heavenly Dao’s rules and returning the spiritual will to the past, although not summoning the River of Time, is still an extremely dangerous endeavor.
Ye Xuan furrowed his brows and completely fell into contemplation.
He believed the words of the Heavenly Dao’s will and knew that the Heavenly Dao’s will was not deceiving him, for the Heavenly Dao’s will was just a segment of emotionless rules. Its duty was to operate the entire universe without mixing in the feelings of living beings.
“Alright.”
After several moments, Ye Xuan’s eyes fixed. No matter what, he had to try, for this was currently the only chance to resurrect Liu Baiyi.
Ye Xuan did not want to wait any longer. If he waited until he became the Saint of saints, mastering the Power of Space-Time to Great Success and truly able to summon the River of Time, the wait would be extremely long, and Ye Xuan did not want to wait that long.
“If you have considered it, I can now reverse the rules of Heaven and Earth. With your Power of Space-Time, it’s entirely possible to let a strand of your spiritual will return to that distant past,” the Heavenly Dao’s will said solemnly.
“Alright.”
Ye Xuan put away the Heavenly Punishment Halberd and then sat cross-legged in the void. The small tree of Space-Time swayed at his brow, and strands of Power of Space-Time surrounded him.
“Space-Time Inversion, Return to the Origin!”
Rumble!
Ye Xuan’s hands formed seals, the small tree of Space-Time at his brow swirled violently. That mysterious Power of Space-Time roared like a tsunami, instantly covering his body.
“Heavenly Dao Reversal, Rule Regression.”
The Heavenly Dao’s will shone brightly, its ancient and heavy voice resonating. That fierce aura of the Heavenly Dao spread out, and in conjunction with Ye Xuan’s Power of Space-Time, the Heavenly Dao Space started to become illusory and unstable.
