Chapter 1031: Guardian Treasures
"However, the Primordium has evolved, and the Great Dao is eternal. It's no longer that era," Bai Sui remarked with a sigh. "At the beginning, many eternal lifeforms who comprehended Creation were willing to wield the Great Dao's Authority, but none could succeed. Instead, a vast number of eternal lifeforms perished from the Great Dao's backlash.
"In the end," he continued, “the Dao Master confirmed that sempiternal lifeforms actually had greater hope of success. Even so, it remained incredibly difficult. Countless sempiternal lifeforms perished in the attempt. Only then was the Creation Dao Realm established and numerous trials set in place, specifically to screen for peerless geniuses who might bear the Great Dao's Authority." Bai Sui looked at Wu Yuan. "Through many samsara cycles of heaven and earth, two were chosen, yet both failed.
"As for you, despite never undergoing the nine trials, you somehow succeeded in the end." Bai Sui mused, "Destiny is truly unfathomable."
Wu Yuan didn’t reply.
Though his body refiner self hadn't undergone the Creation Dao Master's nine trials, his past hundred thousand years of cultivation had been filled with opportunities.
The Black Pagoda's guidance, the Bloodforge Battle, cultivating in the eldritch world, the Immutable Land, the Megaverse Crossroads... Countless fortuitous encounters had brought him to where he stood today, granting him hope of success.
The birth of the new allows the old to break free? Wu Yuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, understanding the Creation Dao Master's plan – the entire Creation Dao Realm existed to select a new Dao Master.
Still, Wu Yuan had many questions. Even if a new Dao Master was born, how could the Creation Dao Master be resurrected to challenge higher levels?
Logically, once the path was fixed, changing it was difficult. Even without the Great Dao's constraints, could the Dao that the Creation Dao Master had pioneered truly be re-forged and perfected?
If it were that simple, surely more than just Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu and the Heavenly Imperator would have nearly reached the pinnacle over countless eons.
These thoughts filled Wu Yuan with uncertainty, but for now, he could only suppress them.
