Chapter 1018: Karma of the Great Tribulation

The fates of countless System Inheritors fell into Han Jue's eyes, causing ripples in his heart.

Han Jue felt lingering fear in his heart.

He had faced the same problems these Inheritors had encountered; fortunately, he had held onto his bottom line.

However, having said that, those Inheritors only faced external temptations; he was different, as the System would also tempt him during every selection.

Simply detestable!

The will of creation replied, "Not so. You represent the unknown, and the unknown represents hope. During the process of waiting for a successful candidate to appear, I encountered the backlash of all existence and have long since ceased to exist. What you are facing is the remnant will I left within the System. I will not constrain you, nor will I interfere with how you act in the future. I am very much looking forward to seeing what kind of existence you will become."

Han Jue did not fully believe these words.

He asked, "Why choose me?"

"That is your Luck. Every chosen Inheritor has had this doubt. I cannot answer; it can only be said that this is your own Luck."

The will of creation's answer did not satisfy Han Jue too much.

He asked, "My Dojo can be stronger than my cultivation; why is that? Why didn't the previous Inheritors have this?"

"In the process of constantly changing Inheritors, the System has been growing stronger. When you fall, this Opportunity will seek the next Inheritor, and the help they receive will be greater than yours."

The will of creation paused and continued, "The reason I tested you during your selections is also because you wasted nearly twenty percent of a Mortal's lifespan for good Luck. Such a situation is unprecedented."

Han Jue said, "Thanks for the compliment."

"It is not a compliment."

Han Jue was stunned, not understanding what the will of creation meant.

He turned to ask, "Can you manipulate the System?"

"No. I am merely a wisp of residual will; I cannot exert any substantial influence on any existence."

"Then, do you have anything else you want to say to me?"

After learning about the System's past, Han Jue's Dao Heart did not change; maintaining his past attitude was correct regardless.

The will of creation fell silent. The edges of the giant sun hanging in the distance of the Grandmist began to ripple, as if the high temperature were scorching the void.

A long while later.

The will of creation's voice drifted over slowly, "Just like the Heavenly Dao, although the Heavenly Dao gave birth to a will, the Heavenly Dao itself also exists. In the dark, there is always a power restricting the development of all this. What exactly it is, I do not know. Even I cannot imagine what lies beyond all this, or what the meaning of my birth is."

"Perhaps when you reach the Creation Sovereign, you will be able to see through the meaning of existence."

As the voice fell, the Evolution Illusion shattered.

"Remember, being the strongest is not eternal. Even if you reach the strongest, if you stop Cultivating, you will sooner or later be surpassed. Among the previous Inheritors, there were many who were the strongest of their respective eras, but most of them slacked off and were surpassed by their successors."

"Always remember how you reached this step."

The will of creation's voice became increasingly ethereal.

Han Jue's consciousness returned to reality. Mount Buzhou was still very noisy; the Flying Heaven Sect and the Han Family had not yet reached a conclusion.

Han Jue felt it was dull and uninteresting.

So he was not a Reincarnation of a Primordial Chaos Demon God; he was just one of countless chosen Inheritors.

He had thought too much.

Before this, he had even wondered if he was a Reincarnation of a Primordial Chaos Demon God, having created a Golden Finger for himself before dying, or perhaps the System came from his future self.

When he was on Earth, he had read a web novel that had such a setting.

One still had to be wary of the so-called will of creation.

Regarding this fellow's self-introduction, Han Jue always felt it was somewhat dangerous. If it had no desires, why would it leave behind a remnant will?

Han Jue did not ask the System either; he could not distinguish whether the will of creation could actually manipulate the System.

Regardless, striving to become stronger was the right thing to do.

The Creation Sovereign is not enough!

For the sake of stability, one must at least surpass the Creation Sovereign to challenge the goal mentioned by the will of creation.

Han Jue could not act according to others' ideas; he must always be ahead of others and above others.

Han Ling couldn't help but chuckle, "Father, these so-called mighty figures in the Immortal Realm are just like Mortals in the bustling markets of the Mortal Realm; it's boring."

The Head of the Han Family and the Sect Master of the Flying Heaven Sect each paid a price, bringing out treasures to appease the Disciples involved in this Karma.

This matter seemed to be settled, but it had buried the seeds of disaster.

Han Jue calculated that the Karma between the two was already deep, and there would inevitably be a heaven-shaking battle between the two factions, which also involved Han Ye and Han Yao.

Especially Han Ye; the Flying Heaven Sect would be the stepping stone for Han Ye to Attain the Dao and soar into the sky.

Han Jue began to look forward to that day, but by the time he next came out of seclusion, this Karma would already be resolved.

The father and daughter stood up and left to travel through the Chaos.

Decades later, they returned to the Third Dojo.

Han Jue directly moved Han Yao into the Third Dojo and created a Clone to teach Han Yao, while his main body began to go into seclusion.

Han Yao was handsome and dashing, looking quite a bit like Han Jue, which drew Xing Hongxuan and the other women to come and watch.

Initially, Han Yao was very panicked. After Han Jue's explanation, he turned to surprise. He knelt to pay respects to the Old Ancestor and began the first Opportunity of his life to Cultivate.

Han Ling was very interested in Han Yao and wanted to see how powerful this descendant was that her father had made an exception to take in. However, upon looking, he was not outstanding.

The Conquering Heaven Star required battle for Aptitude and strength to undergo transformation. Currently, Han Yao, like Han Ye, had yet to display his Aptitude.

After losing interest, Han Ling stopped paying attention to Han Yao.

Han Yao sat in meditation and Cultivated daily. Whenever he had a Breakthrough, Han Jue's Clone would pass on Divine Abilities and guide him in the Dao.

Even Xing Hongxuan could see that Han Jue valued Han Yao highly; apart from his own children, no one else had this treatment.

No, not even his own children could compare. Han Jue did not specifically create Clones to treat Han Huang and his other children.

Ten thousand years later, Han Yao was sent back to the Immortal Realm by Han Jue's Clone.

This return was the descent of a peerless Prodigy.

…

More than three hundred thousand years later.

Han Jue was still in seclusion Cultivating when a notification appeared before his eyes:

"[The Evil Heavenly Emperor is sending you a Dream Message. Do you accept?]"

After Attaining the Dao as a Creator Daoist, it was difficult for all living beings to send him a Dream Message, but he had specially opened privileges for those he cared about, in case they were in danger.

Facing the Evil Heavenly Emperor, Han Jue hesitated for a moment but still agreed.

The dream was the small grove outside the Yuqing Sacred Sect. Seeing Han Jue, the Evil Heavenly Emperor immediately said, "I have something to ask of you…"

Han Jue shed his divine light and asked with a smile, "What is it?"

He could calculate it, but he was too lazy to do so. Having not seen him for over twenty million years, he actually missed the Evil Heavenly Emperor a bit.

The Evil Heavenly Emperor chuckled, "I won't stand on ceremony with you. I want Han Yao and Han Ye. I really didn't expect that, besides your own children, there would be such amazingly talented descendants in your Han Family."

"Han Yao has already been selected by the Heavenly Dao as the number one Prodigy of this generation, and Han Ye is even more remarkable. Killing from the Mortal Realm to the Immortal Realm, and then to the Chaos, he is a true god of slaughter. Hand them over to me; it will be just right to straighten out their character and lead them onto the Righteous Path."

"You are busy Cultivating, so you shouldn't have time to manage them, right?"
