Chapter 1239: It Was I Who Assisted The Creation Dao Master (1)
Foolish? Wu Yuan inwardly shook his head, bewildered by the assessment. He felt that the Creation Dao Master's scheme had been nothing short of brilliant; a masterful maneuver that allowed him to successfully shed the burden of his Dao Master status.
Only someone like the Spacetime Dao Master could dismiss the Creation Dao Master's ingenuity as foolishness.
"Senior Tian Xu," Wu Yuan ventured, his curiosity overcoming his hesitation, "I'm still struggling to comprehend something. My body refiner self can wield the Great Dao of Creation’s Authority because I fused with a strand of the Great Dao's Authority while I was a sempiternal lifeform. Sempiternal lifeforms face relatively weaker rejection from the Great Dao's essence.
"But I've never fused with the Great Dao of Spacetime's Authority. How did you accomplish this?" He was genuinely perplexed
The process of him succeeding the Spacetime Dao Master’s position had been utterly imperceptible. There was no fanfare, no gradual transition. It simply happened without warning.
A faint smile played across the black-haired elderly man's weathered face. "Do you recall the Sempiternal Temple? That mysterious temple where Zi Kong had you merge with an aura imprint when you became a Dao Master successor."
The Sempiternal Temple?
Recognition flashed through Wu Yuan's mind like lightning. Countless fragments of memory collided, and everything fell into place.
"You're saying that the Sempiternal Temple is actually..." Wu Yuan's voice trailed off with belated realization.
"Correct!" The elderly man's eyes glinted.
"All of my successors, during their sempiternal lifeform stage, are granted one opportunity for revival. That is the Sempiternal Temple's true purpose," he explained. "Regardless of when or where death claims you during the sempiternal stage, I have the power to restore your existence."
The elderly man's smile took on a mischievous edge. "Consider Overlord Peng Shi, whom you so ruthlessly killed. I have already revived him, though he has yet to reappear. You showed remarkable callousness, with little regard for me."
