"Why?"
Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
They both possessed the Heavenly Mandate, so could it be that his Heavenly Mandate was weaker than theirs?
"You haven't reached God Monarch realm yet! Not to mention, you're still a God Monarch like us! " Kong Shi said. "Only by possessing such strength can the Heavenly Mandate in one's body be considered to have fully matured. Otherwise, even if one were to possess the Heavenly Mandate, one would be unable to fuse with the other. Instead, it would devour one another, resulting in an imbalance between the yin and yang!"
Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization.
If one were to split the Heavenly Mandate into yin and yang, fusing them together before they were fully matured, it would be very easy for one to see a situation where yin would flourish and yang would flourish.
It was initially meant to save the world, but in the end, it might end up harming everyone instead.
"The Firmament, the Heavenly Mandate …"
Understanding everything, Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly.
It was no wonder he was unable to stop this duel.
This was Kong Shi's fate, and it would be his fate as well. There was no way he could change it.
"Is there really no other way?"
Zhang Xuan muttered.
He had thought that possessing the Library of Heaven's Path was a blessing, but at this moment, he realized that it was a responsibility.
"I have been pondering over this matter for the past few years, and there is indeed a way, but … I don't know if it will work. However, your situation is different from mine. Perhaps, you might be able to go further than me … "
Kong Shi replied with a smile.
He didn't seem to care about death at all.
"Go further than you?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"The workings of the heavens cannot be revealed, or else the Heavenly Mandate will change its trajectory. You can only rely on yourself. However, God Monarch Lingxi and I have already done what we should do. How far you can go will depend on yourself. "
Kong Shi said.
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to speak, Zhang Xuan knew that it was pointless to probe further. Thus, he asked, "Kong Shi, you have comprehended the Heavens' Order, and I have comprehended the Heavens' Imperfections. Then … may I know what God Monarch Lingxi has comprehended?"
This was something that he had always been curious about.
If the Heavenly Mandate was really split into three, what did God Monarch Lingxi comprehend?
Why didn't he notice it before this?
"I've always been curious about what exactly she comprehended!" Kong Shi shook his head.
"You don't know?" Zhang Xuan was stunned.
In order to find out more about you, Lozosy went all the way to the Master Teacher Continent, and she knew almost everything about you. Yet, you don't even know what kind of heavens she has comprehended?
Then … how were they going to compete?
"I've been in the God Realm for more than forty years, and I've been comprehending nature and the Heavenly Dao. Although the Heavenly Dao of the God Realm is damaged, it is able to maintain its operation and has not completely collapsed. It is as if there is some kind of power that is protecting the lives of the God Realm! "
Frowning, Kong Shi turned to Zhang Xuan.
There were many things that he could not say to his students, and he did not have a good relationship with the other God Monarchs either. Over the years, the only person he could talk to was the young man before him.
Although his cultivation was not high enough, he was a good person to talk to.
"You mean … this power is related to God Monarch Lingxi? What she comprehended was … Heavenly Dao Protection? "
Zhang Xuan looked over.
Although the Heavenly Dao was not benevolent, it could nurture the common people.
If it could nurture the common people, it would naturally protect them as well.
This was similar to how the Earth in his previous life had nurtured countless lives. The magnetic field in the Earth ensured that the atmosphere would not be stripped away by the solar wind, and it also protected the lives on Earth from harmful radiation.
That was the power of protection.
It was probably the same in the Firmament as well.
"That's not it."
Kong Shi shook his head. "What she comprehended had something to do with nature. That's why the Sky of Freedom worshipped nature and freedom. As for the Heavenly Dao Protection … even if she didn't comprehend it, it should be related to it. "
"You mean to say that … she comprehended two different kinds of heavens?"
Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in astonishment.
"I'm not too sure about that. It's just a guess, but I'm afraid that we'll have to fight to know the truth," Kong Shi replied with a smile.
"Then … are you confident of winning?"
"I don't think so, but it won't be that easy for you to kill me," Kong Shi replied confidently.
He had founded the Mingshi Tang, the Ethereal Hall, and challenged the Eight God Monarchs singlehandedly. He was confident that no matter how difficult the situation was, he would be able to resolve it easily.
"This …" Seeing Zhang Xuan's attitude, Zhang Xuan's complexion turned awful once more.
One of them was bound to die.
If Kong Shi won, Lozosy would die. There was no way around it!
However, after hearing Zhang Xuan's words, Zhang Xuan realized that there was no way he could stop the battle.
This was a battle between the heavens and the will of the heavens. No one could change that.
"There's no need to worry."
Seeing Zhang Xuan's anxiety, Kong Shi chuckled softly. He was just about to say something when he suddenly felt the spiritual energy in the air pulsating violently. The ground began to tremble as well.
Zhang Xuan walked out of the hall and raised his head. Unknowingly, the full moon had already risen to the sky. The bright moonlight shone down on the ground, as if a layer of silver frost had descended.
"Teacher …"
The disciples who had retreated earlier rushed to the door and looked at their teacher with reddened eyes.
It was the night of the full moon!
The time had arrived, and the decisive battle was about to begin.
"You have been with me for a long time, so you should know my temperament. Even if I were to die, there's no need for you to mourn my death!"
Kong Shi looked at the crowd impassively. "If I were to leave, it would be difficult for me to return. You should serve Zhang Xuan as your leader. With him around, you should be able to coexist peacefully."
"Yes, Teacher!" The disciples nodded.
"Me? Everyone here is my senior. I can't shoulder such a heavy responsibility … "Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in shock.
Ancient Sage Ran Qiu, Ancient Sage Zi Yuan, Ancient Sage Bo Shang, and Ancient Sage Qiu Wu …
They were all his seniors, and he had been indebted to them in the past.
How could he possibly become their leader?
"There's no need to refuse. As the embodiment of the heavens, it's only right for me to face my responsibilities bravely," Kong Shi said with a wave of his hand.
"But my strength …"
Zhang Xuan was only an ordinary God King realm primary stage cultivator at the moment. He was still far from reaching Conferred God King realm pinnacle, let alone becoming a Conferred God King.
Given that Ancient Sage Zi Yuan and the others had already reached such a level, it would be difficult for him to lead them.
"Your strength is only temporary. You have already comprehended a cultivation technique that surpasses the heavens, so it's only a matter of time before you transcend!"
Kong Shi said with a smile. "There's no need for you to turn me down. What I'm saying is only the most dangerous situation. There's a higher chance that I'll return alive, and you and I will have a showdown!"
"Yes, Teacher!"
Zhang Xuan was rendered speechless.
Since this was fate, there was no way he could escape from it. There was no need for him to escape from it.
"The battle is about to begin, so I won't be staying here any longer.
Hu!
After saying those words, Kong Shi leaped into the air and headed straight for the full moon.
"Kong Shi, bring me along!"
Zhang Xuan exclaimed anxiously.
This was an epic battle that involved Zhang Xuan and Lozosy. Even if he could not stop it, he wanted to witness it with his own eyes.
However, Kong Shi had already vanished from sight, as if he had not heard Zhang Xuan's words.
