Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game

Three days later.

Chen Lan, who had been sitting without rising, slowly opened his eyes, retracting the aura that emanated from his entire body, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

"In three days, I’ve comprehended all the Dao Power within me, increasing by more than a hundred Daos. Some of the easier Daos, like the Confucian Dao, I easily reached the extreme, while the harder ones, like the Desire Dao and the Summoning Dao, require practice to slowly elevate."

Chen Lan felt the Dao Power within him, extremely full. In these three days, while comprehending, he also used the Secret Technique to absorb, having exhausted resources equivalent to ten mountains. At this rate, in less than a month, he could absorb everything.

But he doesn’t plan to do that. He intends to comprehend for half a month first, and once all the Daos within have reached their peak, he’ll go challenge, aiming to challenge more Daos, converting them to Dao Source, so that his true strength will greatly increase.

At this moment, a young girl appeared out of nowhere in front of him, leaving him stunned. Who was this girl?

"Demon Emperor, Golden Cicada is outside waiting for you, saying there’s something to discuss."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan was even more bewildered. Golden Cicada had actually come, did Tianyunzi bring him?

Chen Lan nodded and walked outside. Exiting the door, he saw Golden Cicada holding Buddhist Beads, looking at him seriously.

"What do you want with me?"

Golden Cicada said nothing, directly pulling Chen Lan into his Illusory Dream, leaving Chen Lan flabbergasted. What was this about?

"Chen Lan, do you know this is very dangerous?" Golden Cicada said solemnly.

He hesitated for three days before finally choosing to tell Chen Lan the answer.

"I know." Chen Lan nodded. He could somewhat guess the extent of the peril this time.

"You will die. Tianyunzi said so. According to the destiny path he saw, your future is death," Golden Cicada said gravely.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan remained silent. He had considered the high danger level but hadn’t thought he would die.

"How will I die?"

Then, Golden Cicada recounted all the discussions from that day to Chen Lan, who listened in silence.

With the Extinction Divine Punishment, after a flash of white light, he would vanish, Tianyunzi assuming he was dead.

No wonder they said only when he arrives can they kill the Celestial Emperor, because killing the Celestial Emperor would attract more terrifying enemies, needing him to cover the rear.

"If the future cannot be changed and destiny is set, if there’s truly no way to change your future death, I hope you won’t participate," Golden Cicada said seriously.

He didn’t want to see Chen Lan sending himself to death; knowing it’s a sure death situation, why go?

Chen Lan nodded slightly. He wasn’t some selfless, grand person. He had dear friends, brothers, a daughter, a master. He didn’t want to die.

"Since you understand, I have nothing more to say. I’ll leave first, but we’ll meet again." Golden Cicada said softly, then murmured: "Amitabha."

The Illusory Dream lifted, Golden Cicada turned and left. Watching Golden Cicada’s back, Chen Lan smiled faintly: "Thank you."

After he spoke, he also turned to walk inside, his face gradually growing cold.

"He’s told you already, hasn’t he."

Tianyunzi was already inside waiting for him.

"Yes, you should have told me." Chen Lan replied coldly, disliking being concealed from or deceived.

"Now that you know, will you still go to encircle the Celestial Emperor?"

"If I must die, then I won’t go. I’d rather wait another million years, until I’m strong enough to go."

Having waited a million years, he might as well wait another million years in the Celestial Domain with his daughter until he has enough confidence to resolve everything before killing the Celestial Emperor.

"Continue absorbing." Tianyunzi left a remark, brushing past Chen Lan.

"You still let me absorb these resources, knowing I may not participate?" Chen Lan asked, puzzled, turning his head.

"You will go, though destiny might change, it hasn’t yet changed. You’ll still go."

With those words, Tianyunzi left.

Chen Lan not going, that’s impossible; many things would compel him to go, culminating in the conclusion of destiny.

Even if he resolutely refuses to go, will it still change?

Chen Lan remained silent. He knew the horrors of destiny; the future likely wouldn’t change, even if he used the Time Dao to explore the future, it wouldn’t change.

Instead, it would make the future worse. This was time’s conservation, but he was very curious about his future.

With this in mind, Chen Lan decided to explore and see what would happen in the future.

"No!"

Suddenly, a voice rang in his ear. He turned his head and was instantly stunned; it was Tianyunzi.

But hadn’t he just left?

"The destiny path has changed. You’ve explored the future, learned everything, went to change it, leading to earlier destruction. Your strength is too weak, and the entire Celestial Domain will be destroyed, your dear friends, brothers, and daughter will all die!"

Tianyunzi said with some agitation.

In the previous second, he suddenly discovered the destiny path had changed; it was because Chen Lan observed the future, learned what happened next, went to prevent it, forcing them into battle, bringing the Extinction Divine Punishment prematurely, leading to destruction!

This was the most devastating failure!

Changing the future would bring even more terrifying and devastating future; this is something that those who practice the Time Dao wouldn’t do lightly.

Of course, you could do it, provided you can bear the heavy price. Otherwise, under the horrors of the Time Dao, the cosmos would already be chaos.

"Since we are allies, you should tell me everything." Chen Lan looked at Tianyunzi, speaking coldly, filled with killing intent.

He wouldn’t mind fighting Tianyunzi.

Seeing this, Tianyunzi sighed. If they truly fought, he estimated he wasn’t Chen Lan’s opponent. The Perfect Devouring Demon God Body was very terrifying. He could handle the Celestial Emperor but not Chen Lan.

At best, it would be a draw, but it’s pointless to fight—no need to start a battle.

"Ah, trust me, I’ll find every way to change your destiny."

"I will change as well; my destiny is not something anyone can easily see through." Chen Lan said indifferently.

Want him dead?

Wishful thinking!

Destiny is nothing more; he has changed it many times before. When he was young, people said he would undoubtedly die, yet he still became the Demon Emperor.

Destiny is never set, just that those people don’t have the powerful strength to change it!

"I’ve scrutinized the future countless times, only once, that was your arrival, it succeeded. You managed to change it once, which means it can be changed again. I admit, I misjudged; you’re someone I can’t see through."

Tianyunzi said earnestly, and indeed, he had misjudged, Chen Lan’s destiny was obscure and unpredictable.

Perhaps, he truly can create a miracle.

"Do you still have the Celestial Destiny Pearl? Give me another one." Chen Lan said plainly.

Hearing this, Tianyunzi was stunned, but still took out the last Celestial Destiny Pearl: "This is the last one, what do you want to do?"

Chen Lan didn’t believe in defying the heavens to change fate? After all, heaven was merely his stepping stone, and fate was something he walked on himself; why change it.

"It’s none of your business, you can leave now."
