Since the Spirit of Creation was the first to enter the Dao and cultivated extremely quickly, it had almost never encountered any decent opponents in the process of cultivating the Dao.
On the contrary, mortals still had to face the invasion of otherworldlings, various natural Weili hazards, and even the continuation of the race. However, these people had overcome all of these, stubbornly and resolutely fumbling forward on the path of dao.
Seeing this scene, Ancestor Yao Han couldn't help but sigh, "Although the people of dao are in a difficult situation, they still don't forget to strive forward. Just as Fellow Daoist said, this situation still needs to be observed."
Zhang Yan looked at the world with his sleeves behind his back. Even though he had already reached a higher level and was not far from the Great Dao, he had never underestimated the living beings of the mortal world. Especially since he himself had come from this world, he was well aware of the potential of this generation.
Standing at the level of Bhadanta, the mortals of the mortal world were insignificant and lowly, but once they encountered the orthodox Dao, they would have infinite possibilities.
So what if that spirit was temporarily in power? As long as it was still in the True Yang realm, it would never be able to take care of the world outside of its own magic power.
This gap was a trace of heaven's secret left by the rules of the grand dao. It wasn't deliberately left for the people of dao, but was the order of the world. However, as long as the people of dao didn't give up and continued to work hard in this direction, there would be a day when this natural chasm could be crossed.
After that spirit achieved success, all the living beings under its rule would lean towards itself and forcefully change the wills of the people of the world, making it impossible for those below it to ascend to the True Yang realm. This was to ensure its own safety, not daring to let more people be on the same level as itself.
However, as the world changed, the people of dao would only become stronger until it broke through its shackles. Once the people of dao became stronger, it would naturally weaken.
In fact, the spirit of creation had taken the wrong path from the beginning. If it didn't focus on that spirit and treated all living beings equally, or simply supported the otherworldlings against the people of dao, it might be able to cut off the path of the people of dao to advance. However, with its background, it was destined to not put effort in these aspects.
When Zhang Yan thought up to here, he faintly comprehended something in his heart. The Spirit of Creation didn't devour the virtue of the Dao merely for the sake of obtaining a Dao Technique, and perhaps it was also for the sake of making up for the aspect that it lacked.
Although it was for the sake of completing the Dao, the Spirit of Creation did not have a human heart or a human nature, so it did not have any desire to climb higher. It was not consciously seeking the Dao, but for the sake of completing the Dao.
Of course, the Spirit of Creation probably didn't realize this and was only acting on instinct. In fact, this made it even more difficult to deal with. This meant that the Spirit of Creation wouldn't retreat and wouldn't give up. It would either use the Spirit of Creation to devour all the Great Virtue as a trap, or they would defeat the Spirit of Creation. This battle could not be stopped from the very beginning.
Patriarch Yao Han and Patriarch Hongho watched silently. Although they had also preached the Dao to the Nine Continents back then, the main reason was not because they thought highly of the living beings of the world, nor was it purely for the sake of preaching the Dao. Instead, they had other plans.
However, as they fought against the Spirit of Creation, their own cultivation gradually grew, and they gradually approached the Great Dao. Only then did they realize that the living beings of the world were also worthy of attention.
What needed to be said here was that it was not difficult for them to think of some things, but whether or not they were really compatible with the Great Dao required repeated comprehension. If they could not comprehend it, they would not waste their time in this direction, because in their eyes, it was just a matter of comprehension.
At this moment, in the modern world, a million years after the Spirit of Creation formed, someone from the Human Path finally reached true Yang.
According to common sense, this modern world was not attached to the Land of Creation, so origin jades should not have appeared here. However, with the evolution of the Qi of Creation, the impossible could become possible. Of course, everything was still under the rules of the Great Dao, so the Spirit of Creation could obtain it, and so could the living beings of the Human Path.
It was not that there was no price here. After this modern world disappeared, unless there was a powerful cultivator deliberately protecting it, then aside from those who had transcended the world, everything else would turn into nothingness.
That Spirit of Creation was deeply influenced by the Spirit of Creation and viewed Human Path cultivators as its greatest threat. It naturally could not tolerate the appearance of such people, so after discovering this, it immediately came looking for them.
A battle unavoidably broke out between the two. In the end, the Spirit of Creation relied on its more profound magic power to kill the cultivator.
When Zhang Yan and the two ancestors saw this, they knew that a turning point had appeared. Although the Spirit of Creation had failed, it undoubtedly proved that the Spirit of Creation could not stop all Human Path cultivators from charging to a higher realm.
Although the Spirit of Creation had failed, a True Yang cultivator could not be destroyed for lower level cultivators.
After the Spirit of Creation dispersed the world, it did its best to teach the Human Path and answer its questions. It also reminded the people who came later that there were enemies in the upper realm, so if they succeeded, they needed to be especially careful.
For the living beings of this world, no matter how much threat there was above them, once they set foot on the path of dao, how could they stop? Moreover, on their path of cultivation in the past, they had encountered countless difficulties and tribulations. In their opinion, once they reached the upper realm, they would at least have a fighting chance. If they were willing to be weak and retreated like this, wouldn't they be even more powerless to resist when the great enemy wanted to take them down?
As a result, not only did this warning not scare the cultivators below, it instead caused more people to head to the upper realm. In the millions of years that followed, cultivators of the Human Dao broke through to this realm one after another. These people naturally couldn't avoid encountering the spirit. Some of them failed in their resistance, while some were lucky enough to escape and go into hiding.
In the end, the Spirit of Creation could not take care of every corner of the world. As the number of Human Path cultivators gradually increased, they joined forces to fight against it. In the beginning, they were no match for it, but later on, they were gradually able to fight back and forth.
At this moment, the Human Path in this world had already formed. If there was no external interference, the Spirit of Creation would be defeated by these Human Path cultivators sooner or later.
At this moment, Patriarch Honghe said, "The Spirit of Creation sees nothing other than itself. If not for that, how could the scene before us be like this?"
Zhang Yan nodded slightly. Patriarch Honghe's words could be said to have pointed out the flaw of the Spirit of Creation.
It was not that the Spirit of Creation had no way to deal with the Human Path. For example, it could release its Dao and try to get more people to stand on its side. For example, it could support the otherworldly beings. These people were born to be enemies with the Human Path, so they were people that could be roped in.
However, the Spirit of Creation was restricted by its own standpoint. In fact, it was worried that it would be the first to be threatened after releasing these restrictions. After rejecting these restrictions, there were very few methods it could use.
Just as he thought, from the beginning to the end, that spirit had been fighting against tens of thousands of people all by himself. How could he possibly achieve victory like this?
Founding Ancestor Yao Han said: "The appearance of this place is the crux of the creation spirit's connection to itself. If it sees any signs of failure, it won't let that spirit fall into oblivion. It will definitely correct its mistakes and try to salvage the situation."
Zhang Yan agreed with this. He discussed it with the two patriarchs and believed that even if the Spirit of Creation had other methods to bind itself, it wouldn't give up on this world so easily. However, they had already done what they could. Now, it all depended on whether these Human Path cultivators could persevere.
As expected, after seeing that it couldn't fight against the Human Path cultivators on its own, the Spirit of Creation changed its strategy under the influence of the Spirit of Creation. It began to consciously support the otherworldly beings.
At this moment, Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows. He realized that the Spirit of Creation was guiding the otherworldly beings not to walk the path of Qi, but to walk the path of Strength.
Now, the entire path of Strength was under his control. As long as one or two otherworldly beings achieved Dao, they would be able to divide his power. However, the Spirit of Creation's original intention was probably not this. The power it transmitted was completely derived from itself, and there was no possibility of it transcending the present world. At its peak, it would be at the level of True Yang. However, this Dao of Strength needed to devour Human Path cultivators as nourishment. Its goal should be to find a way to make these otherworldly beings work for the Spirit of Creation, forever standing on the opposite side of Human Path.
He smiled. If the Spirit of Creation had done this earlier, it might have been possible to suppress Human Path. However, it was a little too late now. Human Path was already established, and it wouldn't let these otherworldly beings ascend so easily.
He looked for a while longer before saying, "Fellow Daoists, we should prepare for the aftermath of the collapse of this world."
Patriarch Hongbo said, "Once this world collapses, the Spirit of Creation will have nowhere to hide. The Spirit of Creation will naturally lose its connection, and it will have other methods to maintain itself."
Patriarch Yao Han said, "Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan seized the tribulation power. Otherwise, the Spirit of Creation would probably be facing the difficulties that the Spirit of Creation is facing right now."
In a game of chess, a single misstep would require many more steps to recover. The Spirit of Creation lost the opportunity in the battle of tribulation power and Dao techniques. Not only did he lose a Dao technique, he also had to face the constant pressure of the tribulation power. Now, he had to maintain his own existence before he could talk about targeting Human Path's Great Virtue. If not for the Qi of Creation helping him to salvage the situation, he would probably have been forced out of the Great Dao Chessboard.
Zhang Yan said, "If the Spirit of Creation uses Daoist Arts to place down pieces to expel the tribulation energy or maintain itself, then it couldn't be any better. In this way, it might not have the intention to fight us on the chessboard of the Grand Dao."
Ever since he obtained those Dao techniques, he had always wanted to force the Spirit of Creation off the Great Dao Chessboard. In his opinion, the reason why the Spirit of Creation didn't retreat was because he still wanted to use the advantage of the Great Dao Chessboard to devour Patriarch Yao Han and Patriarch Hongbo.
The Spirit of Creation probably thought that the remaining pieces he had were barely enough for him to do what he wanted. However, if he had one less piece, it would be difficult to achieve his goal, so he didn't want to place another piece on the chessboard.
If he could make good use of the opportunity before him and force the Spirit of Creation to place a piece to maintain himself, then the Spirit of Creation might very well give up on the chessboard and fight them in a real sense.
