Zhang Yan pondered for a moment. There were many things contained within the Divine Decree transmitted by the Great Underworld Founding Ancestor. Some of them weren't clearly stated, but if one were to look into them carefully, one would be able to notice that there were actually other profundities hidden deep within them.
For example, the Creation Spirit had devoured the Virtuous Weili. He originally thought that once the Creation Spirit succeeded, he would immediately be able to break through the siege of the Creation Qi. However, according to the Great Underworld Founding Master's explanation, that was not the case. There was a difference between being devoured actively and being devoured passively.
Now, the Creation Spirit only lacked the Weili of the two Founding Masters, Hongho and Yao Han. However, even if the two were devoured, they would not be able to escape immediately. They still needed to be refined. In reality, this was the Creation Spirit and the Great Underworld Founding Master fighting for the authority to control the Creation Qi. If the Creation Spirit won, it was very likely that he would be able to take all the Creation Qi.
If the two Founding Masters took the initiative to side with the Great Underworld Founding Master, then the Great Underworld Founding Master would have a higher chance of winning. In that case, he would be able to take all the Creation Qi.
As for why the Great Underworld Founding Ancestor hadn't told the other Virtuous Daos about this earlier, it was because all of this was established on the premise that Zhang Yan could fight the Spirit of Creation which possessed full strength. If that wasn't the case, then being able to defeat the Spirit of Creation which lacked strength and drive it into eternal silence was already the best outcome.
In truth, he knew that even though the two Ancestral Masters had asked him what choice he should make, the two of them had probably already made their decision. It wasn't just the two of them, it was also the will of the Great Underworld Ancestral Master and the Great Benefactors.
He looked up at the two and said, "If you ask me," he paused for a moment, then his expression became solemn and he said seriously, "I should seek the Dao."
Founding Master Hongho laughed. "Fellow Daoist seeks the Dao, and so do I. For the sake of seeking the Dao, why should I cherish my life?"
Founding Master Yao Han also said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Hongho is right. According to Fellow Daoist Tai Ming, if I am devoured by the Creation Spirit, this is also the path to the Dao. If Fellow Daoist can win this battle, then we might not be at the end of the Dao."
Zhang Yan nodded. From the Great Underworld Founding Master's divine will, he understood what he meant. After the two Founding Masters were devoured, their Daos and Weili would fuse together. When the Creation Spirit obtained the Weili, the two Founding Masters would also obtain the Weili and Dao.
However, if they could not be freed, then it would be meaningless. But if they were freed, they would be much. But if they were to be freed, then it would be much more than the Dao and Dao.
However, all of this was based on the result of his victory. If he were to lose in the end and the Dao was defeated, then everything would be over. If he could win this battle and gain control of the Dao, then all the Bhadanta would have a chance to return from their solitude.
However, this was not something that could be done in one go, especially if the Creation Spirit was prepared in advance. Otherwise, it would be hard to guarantee that nothing would go wrong. Therefore, the transformation of the Dao had to continue. Before that, it would be best to find an opportunity to change the Dao. That way, it would be even more secretive to activate it Just Now.
Zhang Yan and the two Founding Masters conversed for a while and decided to wait for a suitable opportunity. Then, he looked at the Dao.
Ever since he used the technique of Fate Assimilating Light, the foundation of the Spirit of Creation's Dao technique had been overturned by him. Although all the rules and regulations still existed, the weight had been reversed. A small force could often cause a great force to deviate. Because of this change, the various opposing battles were no longer decided by themselves. The changes in the Heavenly Secrets were magnified. It was not difficult for him to deduce that the Creation Spirit's next step was to restrain the rules. There was no other way. However, the specific changes would depend on the Creation Spirit's methods.
The Creation Spirit did not make him wait for long. Soon, another Dao change came down and made some changes on the original rules.
After Zhang Yan noticed it, he immediately looked up and looked carefully. When he finished looking, even as the opponent of the Creation Spirit, he could not help but nod.
The Creation Spirit's change this time was much more ingenious. Perhaps it was to leave more leeway for its subsequent Dao arrangements, it did not make too many changes. Instead, it only chose one and abandoned the other.
This method was actually to sort out the rules that should exist in the myriad of complicated changes and only use it on one opposing cause and effect.
In other words, no matter how many changes there were in the outside world, it only needed to maintain this one change. I don't know about the rest, so it naturally has nothing to do with me. The cause and effect are outside, and I observe myself.
This was also in line with the ingenuity of the combination of opposites. Especially when it focused on one place and condensed into one, it was very difficult to change the other rules. If it was not forcefully broken, then it could only make a fuss in the blank space that was given up.
Zhang Yan pondered for a while. Although there were wins and losses in these countless opposing battles, as long as one won, then it would not truly lose. Therefore, he only needed to choose one.
However, even though this method was brilliant, it had also forced him to retreat to the extreme, to the point where there was almost no way to retreat. If he tried to break through this point, it was possible for him to cut off all the subsequent changes, and it was not impossible for him to defeat him just like that.
However, when he thought about it again, he found something wrong.
He could see the flaw of the Dao method here, and the Spirit of Creation would not not be unprepared. The key was that the person had not reached the point of exhaustion, and would not do such a desperate thing. Therefore, there was another change hidden behind this, and it was very likely to involve the fundamental Dao. Perhaps the person was waiting for him to crash into it.
Thinking about this, he decided not to be entangled here, and instead, he thought of another way.
He looked at the Dao method a few more times. This method seemed to be unified, unbreakable, and it guarded the bottom line. However, under the Great Dao, there was nothing that could completely disregard external disturbances and remain unmoving.
There was nothing that could do it, not the Great Virtues, and not even the Spirit of Creation!
Even if the Spirit of Creation looked perfect and unchanging, after receiving the spirit bestowed by the Great Virtues, it had also undergone changes.
As his thoughts turned to this point, he already had a few calculations in his heart.
If he only relied on the rules and regulations, using the external changes to stir up the internal changes, it would be very difficult to change the Dao method, because the Spirit of Creation had left enough leeway for himself.
There was a good comparison here. It was like a stubborn grain of sand that had sunk into the water. No matter how you shook the water and stirred up the waves, it would only sweep it around, but it was not easy to grind it into pieces.
Fortunately, other than the rules and regulations of the Dao, he still had another thing that he could borrow.
After calculating according to his own thoughts for a while, he smiled slightly, and with a wave of his sleeve, he sent another Dao method up.
This method could be called "Impermanence of the Universe" because the Spirit of Creation only maintained the outcome of a certain opposing cause and effect under a certain condition, and gave up on the countless other opposing causes and effects. Therefore, the rules and regulations that were given up were naturally changed by him.
What he was doing now was to make these Dao method changes converge in one direction, but because of the existence of that thread of change in the heavenly secrets, the eternal opposing cause and effect did not exist. It was just that there were countless opposing causes and effects stirring up previously, so the heavenly secrets could fall into any one of them, and it would not interfere too much.
And when there were only two opposing causes and effects left, and both were rigid and unchanging, that thread of heavenly secrets would definitely push for even more changes.
Even though the Spirit of Creation only took one, and he took countless, because the changes were equivalent, the two were completely equal under the interference of the heavenly secrets.
He had countless opposing causes and effects fighting here, so it was not a problem for many variables to appear, but once a variable appeared on the Spirit of Creation's side, the entire unbreakable rules and regulations might collapse, and even give rise to an outcome that was completely opposite of what it wanted.
Ancestor Yao Han and Ancestor Hongho also saw the contest of Dao method changes between the two sides, and when they saw Zhang Yan make his move, the two were greatly impressed.
If the Spirit of Creation's Dao method was said to be ingenious, using the simplest method to ensure that the rules would not be broken, and also to ensure that the Dao method would continue to belong to him, then Zhang Yan's method was also very ingenious, especially using the power of the variable of heavenly secrets to target his opponent. This had actually surpassed the scope of a simple contest of Dao methods.
In truth, it was not difficult to think of all this. The key was how to arrange the Dao method and turn it into something tangible. If it were them, even if they were told that this could resist the Spirit of Creation's Dao method, they would not be able to do it due to the limitations of their own Dao method.
Ancestor Yao Han pondered for a moment and discussed with Ancestor Hongho, then transmitted his divine will, "Fellow Daoist, from what I can see, if the Spirit of Creation wants to break your Dao method, it will not be as easy as before. I think this is the best time for us to send the Weili to it."
Zhang Yan made some calculations and agreed with Ancestor Yao Han that the time was right, but it was hard to find an opportunity. Since he had made his decision, he did not hesitate and directed the divine will of the two ancestors in.
At this moment, he was still high up and had not returned. When the two ancestors arrived, they once again saw the Spirit of Creation through his gaze.
At this time, they only needed to go up and send the Weili to it, and it would naturally be devoured. However, although the Spirit of Creation wouldn't resist this method, it could also cause variables to arise due to different people's judgments of the pros and cons. Thus, to ensure safety, they would follow the method the three of them had agreed upon and take the initiative to integrate the two wisps of Creation Qi into the mighty force. At that time, Ancestor Great Underworld would receive them and separate the entire Creation Qi from the Spirit of Creation.
Ancestor Yao Han said, "According to Fellow Daoist Great Underworld, there is only one Dao. Only one person can walk this Dao path first, and then others can climb this Dao together. If you want to achieve this, you must obtain all the Dao methods of the Spirit of Creation. I will leave this to you, Fellow Daoist." As he spoke, he solemnly bowed.
Ancestor Hongho also bowed and said, "In this battle, Fellow Daoist's achievements will be our achievements. Fellow Daoist's sword will be our sword."
Zhang Yan's expression also turned serious as he solemnly bowed and said, "Of course I will not let you down."
