After hearing Yan Zhaoge's words, Suo Mingzhang said quietly, "Only time will tell us the answer."
If someone personally arranged it, then there might be evidence.
However, it would be hard to prove if someone knew about it or how much they knew.
Only when the outcome was revealed would they be able to see some clues.
"Perhaps, it won't take too long." Yan Zhaoge pondered and looked towards the distant starry sky.
After a while, he retracted his gaze and let out a long sigh, "Fortunately, we did gain something else this time."
He raised his hand and wrote something in the air. Black runes appeared once again and circulated within the void.
As radiance flickered, the black Nine Underworlds Sea's water was extracted once again.
Feng Yunsheng opened her palm and kept the seawater. Then, she looked towards those runes together with Suo Mingzhang.
Yan Zhaoge's gaze flickered. The runes transformed and rearranged themselves in mid-air, transforming into a profound scripture. When they gathered together, they resembled a huge rune formation.
Within the rune formation, many profound concepts were revealed. Yan Zhaoge stared at the rune formation and felt the changes within. He said softly, "It's a little rushed."
"Although we stopped the Primordial Heart Devil from interfering, we can't do anything about the Nine Underworlds' Great Devils." Feng Yunsheng said, "The Wood Devil reacted very quickly. We don't have much time."
"Yeah, that's right." Yan Zhaoge nodded, "However, it also proved one thing. Because of his Earlier Heaven Nascent Form, senior apprentice-brother Nie's incarnation of the Devil of Aged Metal isn't stable."
"Unfortunately, our true opponent isn't the Devil of Aged Metal, but the Primordial Heaven Devil."
Yan Zhaoge let out a breath, "We still have to wait for the final moment. That's when everything will be revealed."
Those of Daoism might have their own plans. Even if Yan Zhaoge could gather all the forces of orthodox Daoism and rush to the Nine Underworlds, his opponents might not just be the Devils of the Nine Underworlds. He would also have to face Buddhism, the Demon Race, and many other bigwigs.
Yan Zhaoge felt that the Nine Underworlds, which had always been the public enemy, had now become the target of everyone's tacit understanding. Yan Zhaoge felt that the world was unpredictable. Absurdity and truth were often separated by a thin line, and one's standpoint determined right and wrong.
"Hehe, this chess game is huge." Yan Zhaoge suddenly laughed.
"If it really is the Twelve Citadel Heavenly Demon Formation, and this matter involves the Primordial Heavenly Demon and the Doomsday Heavenly Demon, then the situation isn't something that Dipankara Ancient Buddha and the others can control." Suo Mingzhang said slowly, "If the ancient Dipankara Buddha and the others want to gain something, they must have the support of a few Dao Ancestors."
His gaze swept past Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng's faces, "However, are the Dao Ancestors really willing to see the birth of a new Dao Realm?"
The competition between Dao Realm almighties against Transcendence would only be crueler and more intense than the competition between Grand Heavenly Immortals.
If there was no special reason, one more Dao Realm expert of the same level meant more competition. To others, it meant one less chance.
It was true that those who were first had a huge advantage, but there was no guarantee that they would be the first to take that final step. There was also the possibility of those who came later catching up.
From a certain perspective, even though the current Dao Realm experts were in constant conflict with each other and were rivals with each other, they would naturally reject the birth of a new Dao Ancestor.
The contradiction was that the Grand Heavenly Realm experts under them definitely had their own goals and demands.
Of course, his core goal was to reach the Dao Realm.
This conflict was inevitable. How to balance and overcome it was a problem that had to be considered.
"Find a successor for yourself." Yan Zhaoge looked at Suo Mingzhang and nodded, "Transcend by yourself, and let your subordinate take over this position."
Indeed, there could only be one position. However, only a limited number of people were prepared for it.
If one's own faction took over this position, they could continue to protect others of the same path, lest they ended up like Daoism in the past.
Suo Mingzhang nodded and remained silent.
"So, in the Nine Underworlds, not only is the Dipankara Buddha and the others fighting for the opportunity to ascend to the Dao Realm, but it might also be the opportunity for the Dao Ancestors to transcend?"
"Not necessarily." Yan Zhaoge said, "Only, this is the best outcome for the Western Pure Lands, Astro Mountains Starry Seas, and the other forces."
Back then, while the Future Buddha and the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord had their own reasons for being born, the other Dao Ancestors had tacitly agreed to it. They might even have their own considerations, which resulted in the current situation.
However, without a doubt, if there wasn't a valid reason, they wouldn't allow such situations to happen.
"I wonder what's the opportunity for the Dao Ancestors to transcend? Otherwise, it would be much easier to make a judgment. "Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples.
Feng Yunsheng smiled, "This isn't easy to guess."
After smiling, she softly muttered to herself, "Other than the Nine Underworlds."
Yan Zhaoge said, "While there are many clues regarding the Nine Underworlds, it's hard to come to a conclusion. Let's see what they're trying to do by heading towards the Twelve Devilish God Formation."
"Let's return first," said Feng Yunsheng.
Yan Zhaoge and Suo Mingzhang nodded slightly. The three turned around and returned to the Universe Domain.
There, Yu Ye and Yue Zhenbei were anxiously waiting alongside Pan-Pan and the North Ocean Clone.
While the two's expressions seemed calm, their gazes were fixated on Yan Zhaoge's group the moment they appeared.
"Senior apprentice-brother Nie's situation is rather complicated," said Yan Zhaoge.
When Yu Ye and Yue Zhenbei heard it, they felt relieved, and some hope appeared in their hearts.
If it were truly hopeless, Yan Zhaoge wouldn't use such words.
Seeing their expressions, Yan Zhaoge sighed in his heart and said, "It's still too early to tell if senior apprentice-brother Nie would fall into the Devil's Dao. However, even if he doesn't end up like other Devils, his situation isn't optimistic."
After a slight pause, he continued, "This matter involves the Ancestral Devils."
When Yu Ye and Yue Zhenbei heard it, their expressions changed slightly.
They were aware of the difference between a Dao Realm Ancestral Devil and a Grand Heavenly Realm Extinct Devil.
However, the two quickly calmed themselves down, and their expressions returned to normal.
"Junior apprentice-brother Yan, junior apprentice-sister Feng, Senior Suo, thank you for your efforts." Yu Ye took a deep breath and thanked Yan Zhaoge and the others.
Then, she stopped speaking and only stood there quietly.
Her gaze that was always distracted and unfocused was now as calm as water. However, she was extremely focused.
Yan Zhaoge observed her. Although he couldn't tell what she was thinking, he could feel that Yu Ye's state of mind was still rather calm.
On the other side, Yue Zhenbei's deep voice resounded, "Life can't be forced. However, even if you know that there's no hope, you still have to try."
"Moreover, thanks to your kind intentions, Zhaoge, Jingshen, it's still not the time to despair."
