Chapter 978: Great Opportunity, First God

"I am different from Azure Heaven Profound Mechanism. He is just a cowardly dog that barks wildly and doesn't dare to easily kill. It's simply foolish. Insulting someone only to let them live means ruin sooner or later. I am different. My arrogance is reserved only for my opponents. If there is no Karma involved, I can't be bothered to deal with them."

Zhao Shuangquan snorted, a look of disdain on his Face.

Regarding the grievances between Azure Heaven Profound Mechanism and Zhao Shuangquan, Su Qi could only offer a helpless smile.

The rivalry between the two Prodigies was no secret throughout the Heavenly Dao. Fortunately, they only bickered and competed, never scheming to take the other's life. They also appreciated each other to some extent; neither of them had friends, and the person they interacted with most among their peers was each other. In the eyes of the Saints, they were close friends.

Su Qi said, "There is increasing news about the Chaos Grand Assembly. All sides of the Chaos are building momentum. The Heavenly Dao intends to support you and Azure Heaven Profound Mechanism, but currently, you don't have any impressive achievements, and your activities have been confined within the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Your defeated opponents also show deference to the Heavenly Dao's Face to some extent."

Zhao Shuangquan fell silent.

Su Qi asked, "Oh right, have you heard of Han Huang?"

Zhao Shuangquan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Han Huang of the Heavenly Court?"

"That's right."

"Of course, I've heard of him. Many say he has practically secured the throne of the eternal peak. He was born with Freedom, his Aptitude is unmatched, and his backer is extraordinary."

"Heh heh, you must call him Junior Martial Uncle, understand?"

"Yes, Junior Martial Uncle Han!"

Zhao Shuangquan scratched his head and chuckled. Because of Su Qi, he held great affection for the Hidden Gate. In his view, the Hidden Gate was a lineage defined by loyalty and righteousness.

Back then, Su Qi was schemed against so severely that any other lineage would have abandoned him, but the Hidden Gate did not.

Furthermore, Su Qi was supported by Divine Might Heavenly Sage to become a Saint. Zhao Shuangquan had also received care from other Hidden Gate Seniors since childhood. The Saints of the Hidden Gate faction contributed significantly to his ability to contend with Azure Heaven Profound Mechanism.

Su Qi said, "If you want fame, I can recommend you to Junior Brother Huang's command. Establishing a reputation there would also mean riding on your Junior Martial Uncle Huang's prestige."

Zhao Shuangquan fell silent.

He was arrogant and ambitious. Although he liked the Hidden Gate very much, it didn't mean he thought he was inferior to the Hidden Gate Prodigies.

Su Qi said, "If you don't go, Junior Brother Ji will recommend Azure Heaven Profound Mechanism instead. The Heavenly Court's scope is still too small to help you soar."

Originally, Azure Heaven Profound Mechanism was under Immortal God Ji's command. Later, in order to allow Azure Heaven Profound Mechanism to become a Prodigy fully cultivated by the Heavenly Dao, Immortal God Ji personally expelled Azure Heaven Profound Mechanism from his sect. Only then did Azure Heaven Profound Mechanism truly belong to the Heavenly Dao.

As soon as he heard that Azure Heaven Profound Mechanism was going, Zhao Shuangquan immediately said, "Then I'll go! I'll serve as a soldier for Junior Martial Uncle Huang just this once!"

Su Qi immediately smiled. This child couldn't resist a provocation.

"Your Junior Martial Uncle Huang might not necessarily agree,"

Su Qi shook his head and chuckled. This was the truth; he didn't usually associate with Han Huang, and even the closest relationships could become distant.

Zhao Shuangquan grinned. If Han Huang didn't agree to him, he naturally wouldn't agree to Azure Heaven Profound Mechanism either.

As long as he didn't fall behind Azure Heaven Profound Mechanism, it was fine!

…Unknowing Great Dao Realm.

Dao Supreme and the other three walked inside an underground palace. The main hall was spacious, with countless colorful crystals embedded in the cave walls on both sides and above. Flames of various sizes floated around, making the area brightly lit.

Lao Dan reminded them, "Be careful. That fellow invited us here, so he must have an agenda."

Jiang Yi sneered, "Hmph, we do too."

The four traveled forward until they reached a lake. This lake blocked the center of the hall, its surface spanning a thousand zhang in diameter. The water shimmered, and various transparent fish churned within, forming a vibrant ecosystem.

The four stopped by the lake. A figure stood on the opposite side—the white-haired figure who had brought them to the Unknowing Great Dao Realm.

The white-haired figure had already grown a lower body, resembling a cow or horse, covered in black fur.

Zhao Xuanyuan called out, "We're here. Tell us directly what you want to do."

The white-haired figure spoke in a low, hoarse voice: "Become the Realm Lord, help this Realm break free from the Chaos, and I will help you Master the Great Dao Fortune Divine Authority!"

Dao Supreme and the other three exchanged glances.

The white-haired figure continued, "Besides the Great Dao Fortune Divine Authority belonging to the Chaos, others can also Master the Great Dao Fortune Divine Authority of the Unknowing Great Dao Realm. The Unknowing Great Dao Realm is fundamentally the same as the Chaos, but the Chaos's supreme rules have already been divided up. Only I have touched the Unknowing Great Dao Realm, and I can only control one of its rules."

Jiang Yi frowned and asked, "You want us to fight the Chaos alongside you? Isn't this asking us to commit treason!"

"You all come from the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao is actually the same as the Unknowing Great Dao Realm—fundamentally the same as the Chaos, but not integrated. Once the Heavenly Dao grows to a certain extent, it will inevitably suffer the same fate as the Unknowing Great Dao Realm. The reason the Dao Ancestor disappeared was for the sake of the Heavenly Dao, and the reason the Heavenly Dao failed to develop for tens of millions of years was out of consideration for the Chaos."

The white-haired figure began recounting the history of the Heavenly Dao to Dao Supreme and the other three.

Dao Supreme glanced at Lao Dan.

Lao Dan transmitted his voice, "This is true. I heard Master speak of it. The Heavenly Dao is considered a Great World within the Chaos with sound rules and order, but you understand the Heavenly Dao's predicament. If it weren't for your Master's rise, perhaps…"

Dao Supreme's expression turned grim.

The white-haired figure said, "Helping the Unknowing Great Dao Realm is also helping the Heavenly Dao."

Zhao Xuanyuan asked, "Who exactly are you?"

The white-haired figure hesitated for a moment, then said, "I am the first living being of the Unknowing Great Dao Realm. You may call me the First God."

The First God?

How arrogant!

Dao Supreme and the other three thought internally.

Jiang Yi asked, "How dare we trust you? What if you tamper with the Great Dao Fortune Divine Authority of the Unknowing Great Dao Realm?"

The First God replied, "I have no room left for scheming; I only wish to survive. If you don't trust me, you can have one of you test it first."

Dao Supreme and the other three fell silent.

Zhao Xuanyuan looked at Dao Supreme and said, "Big Brother, make the decision!"

Jiang Yi said, "Through mountains of knives and seas of fire, we brothers will do it together!"

Lao Dan was speechless and couldn't help but clutch his chest.

It hurt faintly.

Dao Supreme said in a deep voice, "Let's do it! Without this Karma, if we want to reach the pinnacle of the Chaos, we must take risks and seek great Opportunities. Moreover, if the Unknowing Great Dao Realm develops, it will become an ally of the Heavenly Dao, fighting the Chaos together. Brothers, don't forget, we are Heavenly Dao beings, not Chaos beings!"

Zhao Xuanyuan and Jiang Yi both smiled, their smiles incredibly resolute… A leisurely hundred thousand years later, Han Jue opened his eyes, and the beautiful Face of Han Ling came into his view.

Han Jue glared at her and said irritably, "Staring at your father like that, where are your manners!"

Han Ling chuckled, "Father."

That smile was clearly intended to be coquettish.

Sure enough, as soon as she acted spoiled, Han Jue's displeasure immediately vanished.

He said helplessly, "Speak, what is it?"

"I have already mastered the treasure you gave me. How about we spar in the Simulation Trial?" Han Ling covered her mouth and laughed.

Han Jue raised an eyebrow.

This girl is rebelling!

Want to challenge your dad?

Very well, let you experience the despair of your dad's enemies!
