Chapter 2070: Reformation (II)

In the north.

As more strength of order flooded out of him, Chaos Sky fell back from Disorder’s furious onslaught. The power of disorder recoiled at the man and rushed Chaos Sky.

Chaos Sky seemed to be losing the strength that he should have, even his presence was weakening. However, he remained smiling.

Li Hao was in the west now.

Whether it’s Spring Autumn, the Human King, or Long Zhan... none of you will be able to do anything if you head to the western region now. You don’t dare come here either, but if you visit the west, you might have to face the new king of order!

I... was never the master of order and I never will be. I am Chaos Sky, the sky of the chaos!

I reign supreme over order!

You guys don’t understand me.

You don’t either, Li Hao, not even with wielding time.

“Why is your strength continuing to fade?” Disorder scowled. He wasn’t pleased that his enemy was weakening. In fact, he was rather worried that Chaos Sky was tiring.

The power of order was rapidly receding. Where to? What was going on? And why was Chaos Sky smiling??

“Isn’t this exactly what you want?” Blood dripped down Chaos Sky’s smiling face when he took a few steps back. “The chaos continues to be thrown into turmoil. The more battles there are, the stronger you become. There’s nothing you want more than for general mayhem to continue! You hope that our fight will endure!

“Disorder, you think time is on your side, don’t you?” Chaos Sky roared with laughter. “The more people die, the more spirit is emitted. It’s only a matter of time before you win, so long as you hold on, right?”

Disorder didn’t respond. That was indeed what he thought, but he was getting antsy.

He punched instead of responding. They’d been fighting through the void up until this point, but now he flashed to his enemy. Wherever disorder was was where he could go. Worlds exploded with his punch.

Chaos Sky retreated, completely suppressed by chaos. Despite maintaining his strength over eight thousand dao rules, there was nothing he could do to fight back!

The power of order on him continued to dwindle, but it only further worried Disorder. It felt like... some kind of existence... was about to awaken. There was a stunning secret concealed by Chaos Sky’s smile.

Chaos Sky remained grinning despite being beaten back. Immense power of disorder corroded him, even devouring him. And yet, his spirits didn’t droop. On the contrary, he grew increasingly happy.

The moment order disappears is when Disorder meets the real Chaos Sky!

......

In the depths of the chaos.

Countless statues seemed to sense something. Skyward suddenly frowned and looked outside the depths of the chaos. A world appeared in his eyes, as did the chaos. He could see the fight between Chaos Sky and Disorder, as well as the fading of the power of order.

Calamity and the others were also paying attention and taking stock of the situation.

“Chaos Sky seems on the verge of collapse,” Calamity suddenly said. “HIs order is falling apart...”

The others watched intently.

“Given how unstable it is and how it was built without absolute strength to back it up... Its collapse is only a matter of time,” someone said. “Chaos Sky isn’t even a ninth rank, how is he supposed to establish order? Does he really think that he’s the master of order?”

“He isn’t even wielding Heaven’s Stratagem!”

“Disorder can suppress him whenever Disorder makes a move. Even if Chaos Sky was in prime condition at the moment, he won’t be able to do much since Disorder is also present.”

“......” The ninth ranks smiled as they exchanged thoughts.

Once Chaos Sky died, the chaos would be thrown into turmoil. That would enable Disorder to find his footing and greatly increase everyone’s chance of descension.

Very good!

They’d chosen the right person.

Meanwhile, the Skyward master seemed to be searching for something. He was looking at... the direction of the fading order. Since Chaos Sky was losing the strength of order, it must be heading somewhere since it wasn’t being destroyed.

Where was it going?

Skyward didn’t know.

He was searching for it, but something was interfering with his line of sight. It seemed to be... the Heaven’s Stratagem!

A surge of order spread through chaos dao and obscured his vision. Chaos Sky... appeared to have been prepared and stopped the Skyward from peeking in.

Where was all that order going? The Skyward frowned. It was one thing for the second gen cultivator of time to be unruly, but now the second gen cultivator of order seemed to have been plotting all this time. What had he done in the shadows?

......

The western region.

Heaven’s Stratagem landed in the river and began spreading. Li Hao still didn’t stop it. He watched quietly, as if he couldn’t stop it.

Or perhaps he didn’t want to.

Large quantities of order energy began extending through the river, organizing the waters and creating a dao river of order. The star of time in the void had been shunted to the side. All of Li Hao’s other daos were tinged with the strength of order.

Daos were either suppressed or minimized. Despite possessing five thousand dao rules, none of them could offer an effective defense.

The five thousandth world expanded furiously with order as its core! The world was saturated at an incredible pace!

Li Hao had neared perfection on all five thousand worlds and now saw the remaining hundreds swiftly saturated with energy. The strongest of them, the world of order, improved at an unthinkable rate.

The young man had had a limited understanding of the dao of order before, but everything changed as the book drew closer. All of the worlds expanded at an infinite pace.

“The chaos will calm down only once order is established,” Chaos Sky’s voice echoed through the river. “Everything will disappear into the shadows when the upheavals are no more...”

A person appeared where Li Hao’s minor world of order was—Chaos Sky.

That world had been made through the strength of Chaos Sky’s replica. It now seemed like the man was awakening and taking over, forcing down Li Hao’s will. He was interfering and assimilating Li Hao’s mind with the will of order.

And yet, the young man didn’t move to defend himself. Instead, he poured in a large sum of faith and opened the passageway created by the star of time. He reached out to the queen, disturbing the passageway that belonged to her.

“Send faith and the will of responsibility into my river!” he transmitted. “Send as much as you have!”

The queen answered promptly as soon as Li Hao gave the command. She couldn’t wait to be rid of all this! Endless faith surged into the river and became one with the power of order.

“Protect humanity...”

“Liberate life!”

Countless ideas streamed toward the world of order. Li Hao continued to watch.

He watched as the shadow that was Chaos Sky’s replica slowly began to shift through various forms, taking on the appearances of all the people that the faith belonged to!

Heaven’s Stratagem entered Li Hao’s river with untold energy, making Li Hao’s presence flare tremendously. All five worlds were saturated in the blink of an eye.

Order was still the mainstream. Compared to the Su Yu who’d appeared from the future, Li Hao fully matched him in strength and was even slightly stronger.

As the Heaven’s Stratagem became part of the river, the world of order enlarged to almost half of the river of dao.

At the same time, outside Chaos Sky major world.

A little girl suddenly appeared. Spring Autumn!

She whipped her head at Li Hao the moment she was present and frowned.

“Am I too late?” she asked with dejection and some regret. Spring Autumn looked at Li Hao in the distance with some resignation. “I shouldn’t be! You have my replica and built the worlds of withering and flourishing. You just have to wither his order to be able to hold on for a while, even with a weak primary body. Why were you assimilated so quickly?”

She didn’t understand and was rather glum about it.

Spring Autumn wasn’t surprised that Li Hao had come here. What she was surprised about was that he’d been devoured by order so quickly!

How are you... so... weak?

This pisses me off!

When they walked the river of time together, Li Hao had demanded a replica each from her and Chaos Sky. To the two of them, the young man was incredibly bold and crazy. How dare he ask for their replicas!

Spring Autumn had given hers because Chaos Sky had given his.

Li Hao wouldn’t have run into any issues if he’d refined hers first, then Chaos Sky’s. The dao of withering and flourishing was incredibly strong. Plus, she’d handed over her strongest replica. Spring Autumn was confident that so long as Li Hao utilized her dao, he would be able to stand against order for a while.

She would also rush over as quickly as possible.

However, she’d still been too late!

“Why have you come to the west?” Li Hao opened his eyes and looked at Spring Autumn.

“I cannot tolerate absolute order,” sighed the girl. “Nor will I permit the ancient order to continue. What they call order is actually a rule of existence! I’m going to break all rules. In the battle between Chaos Sky and Disorder, I would rather Disorder win!

“I don’t want Chaos Sky to win, do you understand? He needs to fall to Disorder so that Disorder can mess up the entire chaos...” Regret crept into her tone. “I just hadn’t thought that you would be defeated so quickly when you’re armed with time and my replica of withering and flourishing. Even with the Heaven’s Stratagem present, you should’ve held out longer.

“Li Hao, you disappoint me!” She shook her head.

“So you’re here to destroy order?” Li Hao laughed.

“I am!” Spring Autumn laughed as well, not minding what the young man said in response. “Between Disorder and Chaos Sky, I’m more wary of Chaos Sky. So I wouldn’t be concerned if Disorder wins, but there will be trouble if Chaos Sky wins!

“Forget it,” she sighed. “You’ve become the spokesperson of order, which means I’ve miscalculated. I didn’t expect you to fail at comprehending the true meaning of my dao. I gave you that replica for nothing!

“I thought you were smart enough to see through Chaos Sky’s scheme, but didn’t think that I was overestimating you. True enough, you’re too young...”

She seemed to have found the best excuse for Li Hao’s failure. The young man was too dumb and young. That was why he was unable to understand the true meaning of withering and flourishing, that was why he was unable to stand against order’s invasion.

He fell to Chaos Sky’s scheming instead and was now a puppet of order. What an idiot! He’d cultivated time in vain!

Li Hao didn’t mind the cicada’s assessment of him. The river of dao undulated madly, rocking so hard that the power of order was beginning to splash outside.

The immense Heaven’s Stratagem nearly overshadowed all of it. There seemed to be only one will within the five thousand dao rules—that of order! Even time was so heavily suppressed that it couldn’t be seen.
