Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 637 - 624: Causality

The Destiny Dao Ancestor did not urge Alkaid, but waited patiently instead.

Because the outcome had already been determined.

Under the power of destiny, Alkaid's final choice was bound to remain unchanged.

And Alkaid, after a moment of emotion, did not say anything further but formally looked back on his life.

No matter what, he had lived his life this way.

Along the way, he witnessed many sights most people would never see in their lifetimes and possessed a scale of life unattainable to the average person.

From this perspective, he should thank the Destiny Dao Ancestor.

Therefore, even knowing that his ultimate end would be as a pawn of destiny, in a final battle against the Nine Great Sovereigns, his outlook on life and values should still urge him forward.

This point is just as arranged by destiny.

Whether in his attitude towards the Nine Cauldrons Sect, the Cangwu Realm, or the Northern Sea Star, it all proves that he is not devoid of moral principles.

A person with moral principles naturally should abide by the constraints of morality, willingly accepting the role of a pawn to repay the blessings of this life.

But...

In the end, he couldn't help but ask: "I want to know, do you have a contingency plan? What if I now irresponsibly abandon everything, no longer caring about the societal moral restraints, and choose to side with the Chaotic Origin Realm, preferring to drag you down with me to mutual destruction, even to my death? Do you have any preventive measures?"

"I believe in the influence that the life constructed by destiny will have on its ultimate choice."

The Destiny Dao Ancestor replied.

"So, you don't think there will be any accidents? Or that you could be mistaken?"

Alkaid pressed on.

"To speak of accidents or mistakes is to question my very existence."

The Destiny Dao Ancestor gave a calm and precise answer: "Therefore, I do not believe there will be accidents, nor do I think there will be mistakes."

After listening, Alkaid pondered for a long time.

In the end, he spoke: "I understand."

Then, he added: "The reason you are so confident that there will be no mistakes is that I am not your ultimate contingency. Hence, your real trump card..."

He paused: "Is the Void Ancestor and the Time Daoist Ancestor, and perhaps, even the Causality Dao Ancestor."

His gaze returned to his original Chaos World, perceiving the constant evolution of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

The evolution of the Three Thousand Great Daos through the Chaos World has made him realize that the Daoist Ancestors of the Three Thousand Great Daos are one thing, the Three Thousand Great Daos themselves are another.

Death for the Daoist Ancestors is not true death, but a deep slumber.

Because the Three Thousand Great Daos that construct worlds still exist.

As long as the original Three Thousand Great Daos persist, the Daoist Ancestors will not truly die.

One day, when the Ancient Immortal Realm resumes its normal operation, and the Power of the Great Dao once occupied by Immortal Kings, Immortal Venerables, Immortals, and those who Integrate Dao re-aggregates, the fallen Daoist Ancestors will awaken from their slumber.

Now, leaving aside the Causality Dao, almost all the power of the Void Path and the Time Great Dao are gathered within him.

In other words...

"My true purpose in existing is to safeguard the power of the Void Ancestor and the Time Daoist Ancestor? If I truly do not wish to stand against the Nine Great Sovereigns in favor of the Ancient Immortal Realm, would you forcibly awaken the Void Ancestor and the Time Daoist Ancestor, allowing them to be reborn within me?"

Alkaid said.

How to be reborn...

He could "see" it all.

He focused a strand of his Mind Thought on the Void "Dao Fruit" and the Time "Dao Fruit."

When these two Dao Fruits exhibited traits of the "Dao Lord," he should have guessed.

Dao Lord, that is, Daoist Ancestor.

The Lustrous Treasure Tree not only flowers and bears fruit but also has another form - nurturing Daoist Ancestors from within Dao Fruits.

Just as two Daoist Ancestors once nurtured him.

Causality, at this moment, forms a perfect closed loop.

This is the arrangement of destiny.

"So, even if I truly confront the Nine Great Sovereigns, victory or defeat is unimportant. What matters is my death."

Alkaid said.

This is his true predetermined outcome.

He, fighting to the death against the Nine Great Sovereigns and barely achieving the ultimate victory, would result in the Time Daoist Ancestor and Void Ancestor reviving within him.

If, in the end, he falls to the Nine Great Sovereigns, his power will return to the Time Daoist Ancestor and Void Ancestor, who will still resurrect upon him.

Just as seeds draw nutrients from a fruit's death to sprout anew.

Alkaid let out a long sigh.

The personal and environmental safety he sought were, after all, an inevitable illusion.

The Destiny Dao Ancestor did not respond to Alkaid's inquiry but said, "All gifts from fate have their prices set in the shadows."

And now, having enjoyed the gifts of fate, it was time for him to pay the price.

After a while, Alkaid recovered from his melancholy.

"In fact, I've long accepted the realization of being a pawn."

He murmured.

It was for the Destiny Dao Ancestor to hear, and for himself.

The only thing that surprised him was his own emotional reaction.

He had thought that he would calmly face his "pawn" status, thus watching events as a bystander, enjoying the show between the Master of Primordial Yi and the Destiny Dao Ancestor.

However...

Eating his own bitter fruit, he found it rather unpleasant.

Unfortunately, human calculations pale in comparison to those of heaven.

He did not know what the original plans of Void Dao Ancestor and Time Dao Ancestor were.

But he was certain that from the very start, there had been an unexpected incident.

That is...

An unexpected incident occurred when they were nurturing "him."

Why did it take the Time Dao Ancestor and Void Dao Ancestor thirty-three million years to nurture him?

Likewise, it was because of him!

Gradually, Alkaid calmed his thoughts.

He looked at the Destiny Dao Ancestor.

"There is a beginning, so there must be an end. This grand spectacle should draw to its curtain call."

Alkaid gave a slight bow, "To express my gratitude to Destiny Dao Ancestor, and perhaps I should also include Causality Dao Ancestor, Void Dao Ancestor, and Time Dao Ancestor, for this life they have bestowed upon me, I will now fulfill my duty as the protagonist to the utmost, performing this ultimate battle before the final curtain falls!"

"Regardless of victory or defeat, the world shall remember your name, 'Alkaid.'"

Destiny Dao Ancestor responded.

Alkaid smiled, his figure flickered, and he stopped shaking the Gate of Destiny.

Upon witnessing this scene, Master of Primordial Yi could not help but admire, "There indeed was a plan in place all along. The protagonist on your side is in position."

Destiny Dao Ancestor nodded slightly.

"Then..."

Master of Primordial Yi's gaze shifted towards the Nine Great Sovereigns.

He directly articulated the state that he and Destiny Dao Ancestor were currently in.

But this time, he made a slight alteration in his expression.

He did not mention the tacit understanding between him and Destiny Dao Ancestor. Instead, he said, "Because the spiritual essence of all beings has been extracted, I, who was originally going to devour Destiny Dao Ancestor, am now facing being devoured by him. If I fail, you won't be able to defeat Destiny Dao Ancestor! Because, from the beginning to the end, Yu Xiao... or rather, Alkaid, has always been on the side of Destiny Dao Ancestor!"

He narrated the situation, "What he is doing at the moment is a strategic retreat, only to make us internally fight for gain and lead to division! If you think that after I and Destiny Dao Ancestor are both injured, you can reap the benefits, then you are sorely mistaken."

Master of Creation, Lord of Tianyuan, Lord of Shenluo, and others who heard Master of Primordial Yi shifted subtly in their demeanor.

They had felt something off when Alkaid stopped shaking the Gate of Destiny.

But since they needed Destiny Dao Ancestor's power to deal with Master of Primordial Yi at the moment, they did not speak up.

Now hearing Master of Primordial Yi's explanation...

"Yu Xiao, what are you doing!?"

Master of Creation spoke out in a deep voice.

"What am I doing."

Alkaid smiled, "You don't intend to let me become the tenth Sovereign, right?"

"All for this reason?"

Master of Creation emitted spiritual fluctuations filled with displeasure, "I promised you, once the Ancient Immortal Realm is destroyed, I will..."

"The Tenth Sovereign, but... whether it is the name or the reality of the Sovereign, who knows? From what I can see, your actions are pettily narrow-minded, and I can't help but harbor some doubts."

Alkaid said.

"Yu Xiao, what do you mean by this? Are you intending to betray the Nine Major Groups? Betray the Chaotic Origin Realm?"

Master of Creation emanated a trace of chill.

"Alright, the Gate of Destiny has already been shaken and worn away by over ten thousand years, it has already achieved the breakthrough from 0 to 1. Whether or not he assists now, it doesn't make much difference. Since he wants to betray our Nine Major Groups, betray the Chaotic Origin Realm, then let's oblige him."

Lord of Tianyuan interrupted.

Then he looked towards Master of Creation, "Your man, would you clean your own house or shall I do it for you?"

"I'll do it."

Master of Creation said indifferently, then turned to Alkaid, "Yu Xiao, this is your own choice..."

"Don't call me Yu Xiao, call me Alkaid."

Alkaid said, and as if he thought of something, smiled, "Although 'Alkaid' is also just a part of my life, at present, I am still walking this world in this identity."

He paused, "As for the Yu Xiao you want..."

He waved his hand, and a figure was thrown out.

It was the Yu Xiao Immortal King, who was previously brought out of the Chaos World by Alkaid.

As Alkaid's mastery over the Soul Dao and Illusionary Fantasy Dao grew deeper, this Immortal King had been trapped even deeper, struggling for fifty thousand years without escape.

Now, as Alkaid threw out Yu Xiao Immortal King, only then did this Immortal King come to his senses vaguely.

Although he seemed a bit unable to distinguish reality from illusion, facing a Sovereign like Master of Creation, he immediately reacted, bowing with hands pressed together, "Great Sovereign."

Then fervently asked, "Are the Great Sovereigns here to assist me in achieving the Sovereign position?"

Alkaid also timely reminded, "In the grand dream of a thousand years that I constructed for him, he not only became the Chairman of the Creation Group, made commendable feats, but I also informed him of your promise to make me the tenth Sovereign."

"Uh!?"

Yu Xiao Immortal King then noticed Alkaid, his expression changed, "You!? Why are you here!? Weren't you already killed by me!?"

Then he also perceived his own power...

The power that once could be called the first Immortal King of the Ancient Immortal Realm, even rivalling the Sovereigns, had now plummeted to the level of an ordinary Dao Venerable!?

"I..."

This change finally made Yu Xiao Immortal King realize something!

"I was trapped in an illusion!?"

An illusion that even after fifty thousand years he had not struggled out of, constructed by Alkaid!?
