Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 636 - 623: A Lifetime

"Void Ancestor, Time Daoist Ancestor..."

Master of Primordial Yi seemed a bit surprised: "It began 33.36 million years ago?"

"Correct."

Destiny Dao Ancestor responded calmly, "33.36 million years ago, we suffered a complete defeat on the frontal battlefield in the Ancient Immortal Realm, as one Daoist Ancestor after another was infiltrated, wiped out, and fell. I realized the combat power that the Chaotic Origin Realm possessed under your leadership, Master of Primordial Yi. Therefore, us Four Great Ancestors convened and devised a plan!"

He looked at Alkaid: "Using the Supreme Dao of our Ancient Immortal Realm, a plan to conceive a perfect Immortal Spirit."

"Oh?"

Master of Primordial Yi quickly checked the records from 33.36 million years ago: "When Void Ancestor and Time Daoist Ancestor launched a counter-attack against our Chaotic Origin Realm, I found it a bit peculiar. Before the fall of Time Daoist Ancestor, it seemed like he was intentionally hiding something. Thus, for the past 33.36 million years, I have more than once issued orders, sending Immortal Spirits to search the fall sites of Time Daoist Ancestor and Void Ancestor. A search that lasted for 33.36 million years, and unexpectedly, it was not until 50,000 years ago that the Successors of the two Ancestors finally emerged."

"A perfect Immortal Spirit naturally requires one with talent to be nurtured. In addition to the nurturing process, there is also a need for time to grow. In this way, one can possess both unparalleled spiritual talent and an extraordinary comprehension of the Great Dao to bear the legacy of a Daoist Ancestor."

Destiny Dao Ancestor said, slightly surprised himself: "However, it took 33.36 million years to finally bring forth a suitable candidate. This indeed came as a surprise to me, and if it wasn't for my absolute trust in Time and Void, my patience would have already worn thin."

"So, after expending so much time and effort, does this piece you have nurtured truly have such strength?"

queried Master of Primordial Yi.

"Let's wait and see,"

replied Destiny Dao Ancestor as he too turned his gaze towards Alkaid.

At this moment, the two beings standing at the pinnacles of their respective realms had already realized that the key to their duel was no longer between the two of them.

Instead, it had become a contest between Alkaid and the Nine Great Sovereigns!

A strategic game between pieces!

Should the Nine Great Sovereigns prevail, Master of Primordial Yi would risk it all to severely injure Destiny Dao Ancestor and seize the chance for the Nine Great Sovereigns to obliterate the Gate of Destiny and achieve ultimate victory.

If Alkaid were to win...

Master of Primordial Yi would fall, the Nine Great Sovereigns would be defeated, merely waiting for the return of Destiny Dao Ancestor, and the entire Chaotic Origin Realm would become a possession of the Ancient Immortal Realm.

"I'm quite curious as to how you plan to use Yu Xiao... Alright, let's go with what you said. Alkaid it is."

Master of Primordial Yi said with a smile, "What method will you use to make Alkaid, who is clearly on our side, face off against the Nine Great Sovereigns?"

"All gifts of destiny come with a price already attached,"

smiled Destiny Dao Ancestor. "The fact that he possesses the full power of Void Ancestor, Time Daoist Ancestor, and Causality Dao Ancestor is not because of his high talent or strong comprehension but because... the three Daoist Ancestors have been supporting him in a way he cannot comprehend, allowing him to unify the power of these three Great Daos into one, and thus possess the power to take on nine adversaries—fight the Nine Great Sovereigns."

"Is that so."

Master of Primordial Yi heard this but did not find it surprising.

It was not strange for Alkaid to Ascend to Immortality within a few thousand years.

However, acquiring a might within a few thousand years that rivals Daoist Ancestors and Dominator Level beings was conspicuous to anyone.

If it were said that this was secretly supported by Time, Void, and Causality—the three Great Ancestors—it would then make sense.

"Well then, let's start. Let's have our respective protagonists take the stage,"

said Master of Primordial Yi.

Entwined and in the midst of merging with Master of Primordial Yi, Destiny Dao Ancestor responded with a powerful wave of will that was soon perceived by Alkaid.

"Alkaid, you may call me Destiny."

The clash between Destiny Dao Ancestor and Master of Primordial Yi was almost entirely on the level of spirit and thought. Although the process was intricate, in reality, it was just a momentary affair.

Alkaid was still relishing the thought of whether the Nine Great Sovereigns and Master of Primordial Yi would come to blows.

Suddenly perceiving the manifest will of Destiny Dao Ancestor, he clearly paused in surprise.

"Destiny Dao Ancestor?"

He perked up somewhat.

Why was this Daoist Ancestor seeking him out instead of going after Master of Primordial Yi?

"I need your help."

The will of Destiny Dao Ancestor was filled with a profound and confident stability.

"Oh, tell me,"

Alkaid responded earnestly, then couldn't help but curiously ask, "Is there a role for me in this?"

Destiny Dao Ancestor was slightly taken aback.

Alkaid's response...

was too rational, too calm.

However, there was no time to ponder this, as the Daoist Ancestor directly said, "You now possess the spirituality of a Nineteen Level Immortal Spirit, along with the legacies of Void Ancestor, Time Daoist Ancestor, and Causality Daoist Ancestor. I need you to step forward and hold off the Nine Great Sovereigns for me!"

"So, the ultimate goal of my role is to confront the Nine Great Sovereigns?"

Alkaid immediately questioned.

Protagonist?

"Looks like you've noticed already."

The will emanations from Destiny Dao Ancestor revealed no surprise, but rather a touch of appreciation: "Truly worthy of being an Immortal Spirit carefully nurtured and chosen by Time and Void."

"So, did this scene start 330,000 years ago?"

Alkaid knew very little about the past events.

And he himself was very curious about the "High-Dimensional Cognition" he had been carrying all along.

Hearing Destiny Dao Ancestor mention it, he couldn't help but inquire, "What was the purpose of Void Ancestor and Time Daoist Ancestor breaching into Chaotic Origin Realm?"

Destiny Dao Ancestor was not in a hurry to answer; instead, he seemed rather patient.

Exchange of thoughts and wills didn't take much time; it was as fast as a thought transmission turned into a statement of information.

Given that the mutual devouring between Master of Primordial Yi and Him would be counted in ten-thousands-year increments, He actually had plenty of time left.

"Master of Primordial Yi and the Nine Great Sovereigns were able to wield the power of the entire Chaotic Origin Realm. Especially the Master of Primordial Yi, at that time, not only was He a peak Sovereign Himself, but He could also receive the power boost from all wise beings and Immortal Spirits of the entire Chaotic Origin Realm. With the Nine Great Sovereigns led by Him, they far surpassed the Ancient Immortal Realm which had its powers split into three thousand segments. Hence, we faced total defeat in the battle back then."

Destiny Dao Ancestor recited this history from 3,360,000 years ago: "Realizing this, I devised a plan, to feign weakness and lure the enemy deep. And you, are the key to this plan."

"So, under the arrangement of the Power of Destiny, that's how I achieved my successes to date?"

Alkaid asked curiously.

"You could see it that way."

Destiny Dao Ancestor responded.

"What if it were someone else? Could they also reach the point I am at today? Moreover, just how does the Power of Destiny control my movements? I always felt that everything I do is according to my own will..."

Alkaid was puzzled.

"Guided by destiny, you always find yourself in a state of seeking safety, a perpetual insecurity for something unattainable, and this is the drive that propels you forward. With this general direction and the inheritances you've acquired, you would ultimately come to this point."

Destiny Dao Ancestor responded calmly: "If it were someone else, perhaps they could reach the same point, but... they might not do better than you! From the time you were successfully born to pushing the plan to this stage only took fifty thousand years. This efficiency, even surprised me. It was not in vain that I waited for you for 3,360,000 years."

Upon hearing this, Alkaid somewhat understood.

A sense of insecurity?

So, those "Demons" invading Alkaid Realm, the mysterious appearance of Jiang Heavenly Venerable in Cangwu Realm, and the seemingly normal Northern Sea Star that is destined to erupt in a Dao conflict within a millennium - are they all manipulations by the Power of Destiny?

Is the goal to keep pushing him forward without giving him any time to rest?

But...

"If you're in such a hurry, why wait needlessly for 3,360,000 years? If there's no rush, couldn't you at least give me a little breathing room, so maybe I could do even better?"

Alkaid couldn't help but ask.

"3,360,000 years."

Destiny Dao Ancestor paused for a moment.

After a while, He continued, "I am just the planner, the one who controls the general direction, but not the executor... The nurturing of the perfect Immortal Spirit was the responsibility of Time Daoist Ancestor and Void Ancestor. I do not know why They took as long as 3,360,000 years to nurture you, perhaps to reduce Master of Primordial Yi's attention towards you, or maybe waiting for some opportunity, or perhaps nurturing a perfect Immortal Spirit to carry Their inheritances was more difficult than expected..."

He stated calmly: "However, that is not important. What is important is that the plan is proceeding methodically."

"Proceeding methodically?"

Upon hearing this, Alkaid scoffed coldly, "I never agreed to help you fight against the Nine Great Sovereigns."

"No, you will."

Destiny Dao Ancestor was not at all surprised, "Your character formation destines you to prioritize your own safety first. And you know better than anyone, should the Ancient Immortal Realm be defeated and Three Thousand Great Daos devoured by Chaotic Origin Realm completely, everything of the Ancient Immortal Realm will turn into nutrients, merging into the Chaotic Origin Realm, including you! In such a certain death scenario upon defeat, even if you realize you are among Immortal Spirits, for the sake of survival, you would still have no choice but to stand with the Ancient Immortal Realm and wage war against the Chaotic Origin Realm."

Listening, Alkaid opened his mouth to speak.

He wanted to object.

But, he had to admit, for a long time, that was his exact line of thought.

Before opening the Chaos World, he had even braced himself for a desperate struggle against the Chaotic Origin Realm.

Everything, still within the plan of Destiny Dao Ancestor.

So...

"It's an incredible Power of Destiny,"

Alkaid sighed in reflection.

What is destiny?

Destiny, elusive and unpredictable, cannot be perceived by any being.

It's best for ordinary beings not to sense the existence of destiny.

And when one truly perceives destiny and acknowledges it, the personification of destiny is...

"My life."
