Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game

Everyone fell silent.

After a long while, Golden Cicada spoke in a low voice: "Is there really no other way?"

"No." Tianyunzi shook his head.

The future he foresaw indeed held no miracles. The world-ending divine punishment descended upon the Celestial Domain, and Chen Lan resisted it with his own body, buying time for the people of the Celestial Domain. Alongside the vanishing of the apocalypse, Chen Lan vanished too.

That was the future. He wanted to change it, but he couldn’t.

"Grandfather, what about the other failed futures you saw?" the young girl asked.

"We successfully killed the Celestial Emperor, but the figure behind him acted, bringing down a divine punishment that could destroy the entire Celestial Domain. A white light flashed blindingly from the heavens, thousands of times brighter than the sun, plunging the Celestial Domain into extreme whiteness, and the scene abruptly ended."

"That white light was like a terrifying force capable of destroying the world. I could feel my body being burned, but before I could feel it for long, I woke up, I was dead."

"It was like that every time, no matter what method was used, the apocalyptic divine punishment could not be stopped. I suspect it’s an Emperor Daoist behind it."

Hearing this, everyone’s faces showed fear.

"An Emperor Daoist?!" Blade exclaimed in surprise.

It turned out that there were such terrifying figures in the heavens, no wonder every attempt ended in failure.

But on second thought, the heavens ruled and dominated countless stars, their strength must be formidable, having an Emperor is not surprising.

"If it’s truly an Emperor acting, then the destruction of the Celestial Domain wouldn’t be surprising," Song Baiyi said, frowning.

A Divine Daoist is already terrifying, if he wanted to destroy the Celestial Domain, it would be an easy thing, provided there were no other Divine Daoists to stop him.

The Heavenly Dao of the Celestial Domain is of the Divine Dao realm, but in the face of an Emperor’s attack, it is powerless.

An Emperor Daoist realm, the dao essence required is immensely vast. Any who can reach this realm of strength can already look down upon countless races across the cosmos, and the myriad worlds are no match for him alone.

He can be said to be an invincible existence beneath the Cosmic Venerable.

Hearing there was an Emperor, both Blade and Song Baiyi felt fear inwardly, could such an enemy really be defeated?

Can we really win relying on the Demon Emperor?

"Are you saying the Demon Emperor can break through to an Emperor Daoist?" Golden Cicada asked in confusion.

If only Chen Lan can succeed, does that mean he breaks through to the Emperor Dao?

"No, the secrets of heaven cannot be divulged. Once revealed, they become ineffective. We only need to proceed step-by-step, victory will be ours," Tianyunzi spoke solemnly.

The Heavenly Dao is already with the Evil Race; he cannot speak of it. Once said, perhaps the Heavenly Dao might hear, and the future might change.

In summary, the trajectory of fate was always like that before Chen Lan arrived in the Celestial Domain, until he came, and then the trajectory changed. Only then did he know that the person who broke the situation was Chen Lan.

In fact, after the white light, Chen Lan disappeared without a trace from the Celestial Domain.

Chen Lan’s life or death was unknown, but after that, they couldn’t find him either, so he assumed Chen Lan was already dead, and just informed everyone in advance.

"Don’t you find it unfair? Unfair to Chen Lan," Golden Cicada spoke gravely.

Such an important matter was not even told to Chen Lan, why should he die for us?

People have selfish interests, even someone like me, a Buddhist, might not be able to die for all the beings in the world, let alone Chen Lan, who has a daughter, close friends, brothers, and a lover, would he really be willing?

Golden Cicada’s dao heart trembled slightly, he felt these people were too much.

"The future is like this, unchangeable. Even if you tell Chen Lan, the future won’t change. No one can change the future. Even if you go to tell him he will die, he knows and doesn’t want to go, countless karmic fates will change his mind, forcing him to complete this mission, that is the future!" Tianyunzi said seriously and solemnly.

Everyone remained silent.

"Let me tell you a story. I once didn’t believe in fate or the future, thinking fate was in my hands, that once I knew the future, I would definitely change it. But since my father’s incident, I completely changed that view.

That afternoon, I knew my father’s fate was to die by the sword, and it was that very day. I told my father, who was shocked, and so he hid all nearby swords and isolated himself in a room sealed from all sides, thinking that as long as he avoided that calamity, he would be fine.

But good fortune didn’t last long, my mother was captured by enemies. My father knew about this. I thought he would go out, but he didn’t. He still chose to hide, believing he would be safe after one day went by. Later, family members saved my mother, and she was unharmed. My father stayed hidden for a night and only slowly came out the next afternoon.

I laughed, thinking I had made an error in my foresight. How could my father be in danger? I breathed a sigh of relief, and my father also felt safe since a day had passed. Just as I asked my father to play with me, a Flying Sword fell from the sky, piercing through my father’s body with precision, killing him instantly!

It was from a passing strong person who accidentally dropped it, and so precisely pierced my father. I broke down and cried, thinking my calculation was wrong. But later on, I suddenly realized, that there was only a hundred breaths time left before a day passed, and in that hundred breaths, an unforeseen change occurred. My deduction wasn’t wrong, it was an error in timing, a disrespect to fate, thinking one could luckily escape it."

Hearing Tianyunzi’s words, everyone was deeply shaken. No one expected such a thing to happen. He had hidden for a day and eliminated all risks, yet he died in such an unfair way, pierced by a sword falling from the sky.

Ridiculous, it sounded utterly ridiculous, but it was the truth.

They expressed their respect for fate, usually elusive, hard for ordinary people to perceive.

"There’s one thing I don’t understand. Since you say the future cannot be changed, why is there the only successful instance after Chen Lan came?" Golden Cicada questioned, looking at Tianyunzi with confusion.

With these words, Tianyunzi was struck abruptly, his eyes widened, looking at Golden Cicada, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Everyone was startled, what’s happening, why is he coughing up blood?!

"Grandfather, what’s wrong?!" the young girl asked in horror, quickly wiping the blood from Tianyunzi’s mouth with a handkerchief.

Meanwhile, Tianyunzi’s mind was pondering Golden Cicada’s words.

Even with many obstacles, the result of fate would hardly change, unless the external force was so strong that it could, like before Chen Lan came to the Celestial Domain, their plan always ended in failure.

But after he came, there was success, deducing fate trajectories could only predict the present situation, unable to use the future to deduce the future, unlike time, which can directly see the future.

After Chen Lan came, he changed fate, leading to that one successful instance.

"Hahaha, I understand now, I was so foolish!!!"
