Chapter 1679: Ancient Mystery of the Heavenly Dao! (First Update)

"…Heavenly Dao!!" Wang Lin's mind went blank. What he had discovered within Heavenly Fate Child's Reincarnation was something even he found hard to believe: the Heavenly Dao, which countless people had sought until now, was actually… Heavenly Fate Child!

Looking at the youth who was pulling at his own face, attempting to reveal a smile, the immense waves surging in Wang Lin's heart could not be calmed. At this moment, he felt like a lone boat in a raging sea, his mind besieged by a monstrous storm that continuously roared and echoed.

Under Wang Lin's gaze, the youth maintained the smile on his face, turned, and gradually walked away toward the distant, silent Star Domain, until his figure vanished from Wang Lin's sight, until the Star Domain Wang Lin saw blurred, and finally completely collapsed. His expression remained one of shock.

Outside of Heavenly Fate Child's Reincarnation, where Wang Lin's true body was immersed, his Clone sat cross-legged in the Zhaohé Star Domain, his face pale, with faint streaks of green appearing and disappearing.

Around him, countless souls of Heavenly Fate Child's Clones drifted like smoke threads, rushing forth and integrating one by one into Wang Lin's Clone, continuously occupying his body.

As the wisps of soul merged, Heavenly Fate Child's sinister voice echoed within the mind of Wang Lin's Clone.

"What do you have to compare speed with this old man? I can occupy your body right now. Has your true body found this old man's true body yet?"

The more than one thousand souls of Heavenly Fate Child from the Zhaohé and Kunxu Star Domains had now all merged into Wang Lin's body. In the distance, the souls from Luotian and Cloud Sea also whistled and surged, drawing closer.

At the same time, within Heavenly Fate Child's Reincarnation, where Wang Lin's true body was immersed, the moment the scene of the second Awakening collapsed, Wang Lin's true body witnessed Heavenly Fate Child's first Awakening!

As the Star Domain went from blurring to collapsing and finally disappearing, what appeared before Wang Lin was a massive door! This door seemed as tall as the Star Domain itself, and standing before it gave Wang Lin the illusion of being an ant.

Unlike the door that appeared inside the Heaven Defying bead back then, this massive door before him did not emit any imposing aura. It simply existed there, seemingly fused with the Star Domain.

Wang Lin did not know what lay beyond the door, but he saw that at this moment, rumbling sounds emanated from within the massive door. Immediately afterward, the door seemed to be struck from the inside by an incredibly powerful force, causing the entire structure to tremble violently.

In this tremor, Wang Lin saw a Rift tear open directly down the middle of the door. Cracking sounds mingled with the rumbling, and the Rift instantly expanded, extending endlessly, as if intending to split the great door in half.

The booming sound became even more intense. In just a moment, the great door, amidst its trembling, completely cracked open with a crash, splitting into several pieces that violently flung outward.

The door was too large; even when splitting open, it did not shatter into countless fragments but instead broke into several pieces and swept toward the surroundings. Driven by the force of impact, they spread out into the depths of the Star Domain, moving so fast that they vanished in an instant.

One piece of the door, propelled by this impact force, traveled through the Star Domain and arrived in a region that would later be called the Kunxu Star Domain. Here, in that empty expanse, this piece of the door exploded, turning into countless tiny fragments that merged into the Star Domain and tore it apart, sinking deep within.

As these massive fragments of the door fused with the Void Realm, this region of the Star Domain showed signs of instability, and a spatial Rift was forcibly torn open. The door fragments remained inside this Rift, unchanged for eternity.

Many years later, a group of Four Saint Sect Cultivators from the Outer Realm arrived here using a special method. They sought out a Cultivation Planet, moved it over, concealed the instability of the Star Domain, covered the spatial Rift, and even connected it to the Cultivation Planet.

Slowly, due to various circumstances, that group of Cultivators gradually departed. As the years passed, this spatial Rift would occasionally reveal itself on the Cultivation Planet, discovered by some individuals with astonishing natural talent on that planet. After utilizing it, they referred to it as the Outer Realm Battlefield.

The moment the massive door collapsed and split apart, Wang Lin saw a mass of colossal mist surge out from within the door, carried by the force of the impact. This mist was spherical, and it squirmed as it burst forth from the collapsing door.

Inside the mist, Wang Lin vaguely saw a human figure. He could not make out the person's appearance, but he could hear bursts of shocked roaring coming from within the mist!

"Heavenly Dao!! You actually obtained a Heavenly Dao!! Damn it, this King refuses to accept this!" The roar eventually turned into a piercing shriek, followed immediately by a monstrous rumble within the mist.

Under this rumbling, the boundless mist immediately began to squirm violently. Suddenly, a great force seemed to tear it from within, causing the swirling mist to split open.

The mist divided into two masses, one large and one small. The larger mass still carried the figure, whose shrieks had weakened, and it swept backward into the distance, instantly vanishing into the Star Domain, its destination unknown.

The other, smaller mass of mist flashed away in the opposite direction.

As it rapidly sped away, the small mass of mist continuously squirmed and contracted, gradually condensing and shrinking, allowing Wang Lin to vaguely see that it was not empty inside; rather, it contained a semicircular fragment.

This semicircular fragment was not clearly visible, but its existence was clearly the core of this small mist mass.

With a whoosh, the small mass of mist became smaller and smaller, finally disappearing completely, having fully condensed onto the semicircular fragment, transforming into a colorless long rainbow that flew onto a Cultivation Planet in the Star Domain.

There was no life on that Cultivation Planet, only a stretch of low, barren mountains. The fragment arrived like a meteor and slammed into one of the barren mountains with a crash. The mountain shook, instantly crumbling into dust. The semicircular fragment penetrated the collapsed peak, burrowed deep into the interior of the Cultivation Planet, and stopped at its deepest point.

Wang Lin witnessed all of this. He stared fixedly at the semicircular fragment inside the Cultivation Planet. There were still some ancient runic marks on this object, making it look like half a Compass!

Or rather, it was precisely half of a certain Compass!

Time flowed, and countless years passed. Still, no signs of life had been born on this Cultivation Planet, but the mist from long ago gradually began to emanate from the half-Compass buried deep within the planet.

The mist seeped out thread by thread, gathered together, and eventually formed a vague figure. The figure twisted and slowly became clear, finally appearing as a youth.

The youth had his eyes closed, his feet floating above the half-Compass. After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, revealing confusion.

"I have gained sentience… I remember being summoned by my master and, after devouring that Immortal, the Immortal's Divine Sense self-detonated, preventing my complete consumption… then I was split apart… Who am I…" Confusion was thick in the youth's eyes. He closed them, seemingly deep in thought.

After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a strange light.

"I am the Heavenly Dao… I shouldn't have gained sentience, but I still absorbed some of that Immortal's self-detonated Divine Sense… I absorbed some of his Divine Sense… and I generated thought…" The youth murmured, seemingly understanding everything.

Seeing this, Wang Lin also understood a great deal. He understood why Lian Daofei had become a Madman, and why, in the illusion created by the Seven-Colored Daoist, the Lian Daofei he saw had an evil expression, spoke extremely arrogantly, and enjoyed forcibly taking the Dao Companions of Cultivators he fancied. All of these traits were completely different from the Madman Wang Lin knew; they were like two entirely different people.

Now, Wang Lin's mind was clear.

"Lian Daofei was originally an overbearing person on the Immortal Astral Continent. He might genuinely have a brother with an extremely high status, and it was all of this that made his personality twisted and utterly arrogant. Based on what I learned from his ravings after he went mad, he would seize anything he fancied in his life, whether it was a Magic Treasure or a person, without hesitation!

If he couldn't seize it, he would exhaust every method, possibly even wiping out the other party's entire clan, just for the sake of his inner greed! It was precisely this greed and personality that led him to the Immortal Cave of the Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable, attempting to steal what he desired.

But ultimately, after he was devoured by this Heavenly Dao, he self-detonated his Divine Sense, and almost half of his greed and negative traits were absorbed by this separated Heavenly Dao… Therefore, the Madman I met is completely different from the Lian Daofei of the past! Otherwise, given his personality, how could he have given me Immortal Bloodline, much less taught me Divine Abilities? He would have likely used every means possible to achieve his goals through me immediately! Comparatively, I prefer the current Madman over the former Lian Daofei!"

Wang Lin's eyes flashed as he looked at the youth floating on the half-Compass.

The youth lowered his head to look at the Compass beneath him, contemplation in his eyes.

"My true body is this Half Heaven Defying Compass… No one can sense the aura of this object, so placing it here is the safest…" The youth drifted forward, and his entire being vanished within the interior of the Cultivation Planet, his whereabouts unknown.

Wang Lin ignored the youth's departure, instead staring at the half-Compass, firmly memorizing everything about this place and the aura of this Cultivation Planet. He then abruptly closed his eyes. The moment his eyes shut, everything here silently collapsed.

Heavenly Fate Child's ninety-plus Reincarnations were, thus, completely finished!

Wang Lin closing his eyes caused the Reincarnation to dissipate. The instant he opened his eyes again, he saw Daoist Blue Dream, Qing Lin, and Hongshanzi. He saw the Zhaohé Star Domain and felt that his Clone was only a hair's breadth away from being completely occupied!

"I have found his true body. The three Seniors do not need to come with me. Please help me control my Clone and buy me more time!" Wang Lin's true body suddenly stood up, clasped his hands toward the three, spun around, and stepped into the Star Domain!

"Heavenly Fate Child, the game is about to end!"

First Update! The distance is widening, getting further and further away. I see it, and all renegade immortal readers see it too. Do we still have the strength to catch up…
