Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Ling Lan stared at the three instructors before her in surprise. She had not expected that her mission this time would require all three of her instructors to be mobilised at the same time. In particular, even the usually aloof Number One had appeared. This made her feel rather flattered.
"Instructors, is something the matter?" asked Ling Lan.
Number Nine was the most anxious. She asked directly, "Ling Lan, what Dao did you choose?"
"Dao?" Ling Lan was taken aback, but immediately understood. She said hurriedly, "I didn't choose any of those Daos."
"How is that possible?" Number Nine's face was full of disbelief. Passing meant that the tester had found his or her own Dao — why would Ling Lan say that she had not chosen one? Not only did Number Nine not believe it, even the always devilish Number Five did not believe it. Only Number One was so deep that his thoughts could not be read.
"Actually, I can't say that I really didn't choose one." Ling Lan rubbed her head sheepishly and smiled. "I chose to walk my own Dao, and then the space said that I passed, and then I came out."
Number One's eyes lit up with a shrewd glint. Number Five and Number Nine's faces were filled with shock, which then turned to ecstasy... how fortunate were they to be able to teach a student who could find her own Dao? Such a person, without exception, was a world-shaking figure.
Ling Lan said regretfully, "Too bad I don't know if I can complete it. This Dao will have to depend on me to explore it myself." After Ling Lan was sucked into the black vortex from the second panel, she did not appear in a new image. Instead, she entered a patch of empty space. There was only a vast expanse of grey, with nothing in sight. Meanwhile, Ling Lan was suspended in the middle of this empty space.
Just as Ling Lan was feeling puzzled, the grey and empty space suddenly twisted and contorted. In the end, it actually formed a grey dragon, which lunged viciously at the suspended Ling Lan.
Ling Lan was terrified, but she found that her body could not move at all. She could only watch helplessly as this grey dragon swallowed her whole.
In that instant, Ling Lan saw countless images. The Daos of the countless existences in the world were presented before her eyes. Following those images, she experienced all the trials and realizations of these Daos. When Ling Lan woke up once again, she found that she was still standing in the void, unscathed, as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.

"Dao? Is this the path I want to evolve? is path? "Translation Editor's Editor: EndlessFantasy Daos Dao?
"Didn't you see all those things just now?" The ethereal voice replied.
"Daos: Dais Dais Dais sacrifice sacrifice sacrifice is sacrifice? Dadaos Dais Dais dais Dao must Daos Dahis Nana On's Nn's Dby Nn's Lan's everyone Hate Hate. Hate Hate Dhnn Dao Dao
"Gains and losses are fair. Sacrifice or not, it is all up to you." The voice was cold and emotionless, but it also spoke the truth. In the end, all of this was her own choice.
"Is it fair?" Ling Lan closed her eyes and once again experienced the sorrow and realization brought about by those images. Indeed, in the end, those people had all become the cream of the crop, standing at the pinnacle of humanity. However, at the same time, they had also lost some important things. Even those who had chosen the Path of Friendship had also lost their family — after loving the world and treating everyone equally, what was their family worth?
She did not believe that the person who had chosen the Dao of Affection back then had chosen to evolve purely for himself. It was likely that a large part of it was for his family. However, the result was completely different from his original desire to become stronger. Then, what was the point of becoming stronger?
Ling Lan indeed wanted to become stronger, because she did not want to make herself suffer. If she was strong enough, her father's military achievements would not be coveted by others, and in the end, she had to use the identity of a fake man to obtain them.
She really wanted to give birth to an outstanding child, but her current identity required her to be strong to a certain extent in order to defeat the man she fancied and obtain the other half of her child's genes.
She also wanted her child to live openly in front of the world, to grow up healthily amidst her endless love... She wanted to live this life without regrets, to look at the world with a smile... All of this required her to become stronger, and even to stand at the peak.
However, this did not mean that she was willing to give up some of her things. She did not want to become a madman or an evil person that could not be tolerated in this world. Therefore, the Demonic Dao, the Ghost Dao, and the Killing Dao were not suitable for her. She did not want to become a saint or a benevolent ruler, to become a leader, to let her child live in intrigue from a young age, losing the innocence and joy that he should have. Therefore, the Sage Dao, the Monarch Dao, and the Benevolent Dao were not the Daos she needed. Emotionless Dao was absurd. The Dao of the Heart, the Dao of the Literature, and the Martial Dao were all Daos that Ling Lan did not want to walk on at all...
Ling Lan analyzed all the Daos one by one, but found that she could not find the Dao that she wanted. She said unhappily, "Didn't you say that there is a Dao that is suitable for me? Why does it seem to me that there is none? "
The ethereal voice sounded again, "There are millions of Daos in this world. How do you know that there is no Dao that is suitable for you?"
Ling Lan reacted very quickly, "In other words, the Daos that I saw were only some of them? That's strange. Why don't you let me see all of them? "
The ethereal voice sounded again. It was not as cold and emotionless as before. This time, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in it, "It was a coincidence that you were able to obtain some of the Daos. Don't push your luck."
Ling Lan did not care about the voice's dissatisfaction. Instead, she had an answer in her heart because of the voice's answer, "Since that's the case, I won't choose any of the Daos that you showed me."
Ling Lan's answer shocked the ethereal voice, "Why?" In the past, those people would choose one of the Daos with a face full of surprise. Why was this person willing to give up such a good opportunity? It was a little unable to accept this.
"Didn't you say that there are millions of Daos in this world? I have to find the Dao that is most suitable for me. "Ling Lan used its own words to respond to its question. The teasing in her words was very obvious.
The ethereal voice instantly became flustered and exasperated, "The Daos that I gave you are all Daos that can be achieved by capable people. They are based on experience and comprehension, allowing you to become stronger quickly. As for the rest, you will have to rely on yourself to figure things out. Perhaps you will achieve nothing, unable to become stronger at all. Are you stupid?"
"Heh, not pretending anymore?" Ling Lan teased.
The voice fell silent. Ling Lan continued, "You're the system of the learning space, right? Stop pretending to be a mysterious expert. Just tell me, what's going on here?"
"Choosing the correct evolution path refers to your evolution path." This time, the voice was no longer ethereal. It was the system's voice that Ling Lan was familiar with.
Only then did Ling Lan nod her head in satisfaction. This was more like it — it made her feel like she was cultivating to become an immortal. She was very unaccustomed to it. "Isn't it just training step by step?" Ling Lan was very curious. She hadn't expected that there would be such a mysterious Dao.
"Dao is a kind of comprehension, a kind of realm, a kind of domain. It is not a rigid system of numbers and training." The system's answer was very empty, but Ling Lan understood. She nodded in understanding. She had to thank Ling Lan for reading too many novels in the past. Some of China's Buddhist scriptures and teachings would often appear in novels, so this kind of words with a strong Buddhist flavor was not difficult for her.
"The Daos that I saw were all extremes. In other words, when someone walks to an extreme, they might be able to comprehend the profound mysteries of that extreme..." There were many things about humans that could not be explained by technology. For example, the Qi exercises she had learned were a kind of mystical existence.
This time, the learning space's system did not respond. Some things had to depend on the host's own comprehension.
After about a few minutes, the learning space's system asked again, "You really don't want to choose those Daos? That's a kind of shortcut. "
Ling Lan thought back to those cultivation novels she had read. They had once said that the experiences of others could only be used as reference, but could not be imitated blindly, because everyone was different. Only the things that one had comprehended on their own were truly suitable for oneself. Perhaps this Dao was the same...
Ling Lan had her answer. She shook her head once more. "I don't want to choose."
"Don't tell me you don't want to become stronger?" The system's voice was somewhat disappointed. As a host, Ling Lan was outstanding in all aspects, but it could not understand why Ling Lan would give up this obvious opportunity to become stronger.
"Of course I want to, but just as you said, out of all the Daos in this world, only one is suitable for me, and I want to walk that Dao," said Ling Lan resolutely.
"Even if you achieve nothing in the future, you won't regret it," warned the system once more.
"Never regret it." She was a greedy person. She was unwilling to give up those feelings. Perhaps this greed would ultimately cause her to lose the chance to touch the Dao, but she believed that even if she could not find the Dao that belonged to her, she could still become stronger.
"In that case, deactivate the legacy of the learning space's Dao..." Since the host did not need it, then there was no need for the legacy of the learning space's Dao to exist.
Following this, Ling Lan felt the various images of Dao in her mind disappearing. Those insights were also disappearing, and in the end, it all transformed into a thunderous voice. "What is Dao?"
Ling Lan blurted out, "A person's heart!"
The entire space was filled with the echoes of a person's heart. The light in Ling Lan's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and she said resolutely, "Yes, a person's heart."
"And what is your Dao?"
"Freedom, an existence without restrictions, so my Dao should also be free. It should not be limited to any Dao... it should be the existence of any Dao."
Ling Lan abruptly raised her head, the light in her eyes seemingly able to pierce through the entire void. "So, I named my Dao the Domineering Dao."
"Congratulations, you have passed." The system's voice rang out once more, telling Ling Lan this good news. Before Ling Lan could ask any more questions, she was once again sucked away by a black vortex. When she was thrown out again, she had already arrived at where Instructor Number One and the others were.
"Domineering, is it?" Number One looked deeply at Ling Lan, a trace of satisfaction flashing through his eyes. This was the domineering attitude his disciple should have. Ling Lan's choice made him very pleased.
