Chapter 1421 - 649: Heavenly Dao?

"You only have two options!"

Facing his threat, the World Tree showed no emotional fluctuation. "The old World Tree was already injured. Last time, it exhausted its strength, turning that blazing sun into a black hole. Getting injured again would make things even worse."

"You are at Emperor Realm Perfection, so you should feel that the spatial barriers between the Upper and Lower Domains are rapidly weakening. It might only take a few hundred years."

"There are eight Saints in the Upper Domain. If they make a move, even with the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, they certainly wouldn’t be weaker than you are now, not to mention the weakening Heavenly Dao would lessen its suppression on them..."

Hearing this, Chen Xuan fell silent.

"They shouldn’t be able to act recklessly, right?"

Life and death are under the control of the Heavenly Dao. The Lower Realm disrupts the fairness of the Heavenly Dao, and doing so would not let them escape the Heavenly Dao’s wrath.

"That, I do not know."

"Of course, you can gamble!"

The World Tree’s words rendered Chen Xuan silent once more. Gamble? If he failed, the consequences... he couldn’t accept them!

There’s no denying that in this game, the World Tree completely had the upper hand.

"What’s the other path?"

After a long silence, Chen Xuan finally spoke.

He couldn’t imprint the Heavenly Dao!

But he also didn’t dare to gamble against the Eight Saints of the Upper Domain.

Even though he hated to admit it, he was indeed being led by this damned World Tree.

"Damn it!"

Chen Xuan was furious. He hadn’t felt this way in a long time.

He despised it.

"Become my Heavenly Dao!"

When push came to shove, the World Tree finally revealed its ultimate goal.

"What?!"

Chen Xuan thought he had misheard. Become the Heavenly Dao?

"Become the Heavenly Dao, or remain as I am now?"

"Without emotions or desires!"

"Screw you!"

Chen Xuan broke down, emotionless and desireless, he thought, wouldn’t that turn him into a cold puppet? Then what was the point?

"No way!"

"Let the Supreme Domain be destroyed!"

Anyway, he wasn’t doing it!

Even the Saint Realm Technique was not worth it!

Life is selfish; becoming an emotionless Heavenly Dao, he’d prefer death.

"The Eight Saints, huh? Fine, let them fight. If you kill one, it’s enough; kill two, and you’ll earn big. I refuse to believe they’re not afraid of death!"

Suddenly!

Chen Xuan wasn’t afraid anymore; everyone bears the same head on their shoulders; who would fear whom?

Seeing him about to give in to despair, the World Tree grew anxious. Its Heavenly Dao had not yet gestated, and Chen Xuan was the best choice.

In its view, becoming the Heavenly Dao equated to eternal life.

No one could resist such temptation.

But unexpectedly, Chen Xuan’s reaction was so intense.

"Don’t go, let’s discuss this!"

Seeing Chen Xuan was about to leave, the World Tree quickly flew in front of him to block his way.

"What do you want?!"

"I refuse!"

Chen Xuan’s attitude was firm; there was no need to even think about becoming the Heavenly Dao. He wasn’t that self-sacrificing.

If he’s going to live, they’ll live together; if he’s going to die, they’ll die together.

That’s enough!

"Retain yourself, perhaps?"

The World Tree lowered its demands. Though it would affect its growth, it didn’t want to give up on Chen Xuan.

Such talent, and his exceptionally strong divine soul, even though he was only at Emperor Realm Perfection, was edging close to the Saint Realm.

Such a situation was almost impossible.

But it happened on him, against all odds.

"How to retain myself?"

Chen Xuan now didn’t trust him at all; damn it, he had too many tricks up his sleeve.

"Take half of your divine soul and nurture the Heavenly Dao together with me. This way, even if there’s an impact later, if you want to recover, you’ll only need to sever half of your divine soul."

"Moreover, during the nurturing of the Heavenly Dao, this half of your divine soul can better evolve the Saint Realm Technique."

"I can guarantee it will be top-tier."

The World Tree spoke in a deep voice.

"I’ll think about it."

Chen Xuan left a few words, then hurriedly left this place.

Splitting half of the divine soul, it sounds easy, but he knew his divine soul was much stronger now.

Returning to the backyard.

Chen Xuan gazed deeply, seeing the people of the Primordial Realm continent.

After such a long time, he had long been accustomed to it.

"Consider it peace and happiness."

Chen Xuan sighed.

But half of the divine soul.... he was still in some turmoil. Not that he was reluctant, but feared the World Tree digging a hole for him.

After all, nobody knows what would happen after nurturing the Heavenly Dao, right?

"Half... half..."

Chen Xuan muttered to himself, "Right!"

In a flash, he disappeared, reappearing at Tangyun Lake.

"Big brother!"

The duplicate and Zhan had been living reclusive lives these years, fishing and gardening, living carefree.

And Zhan had long let go of everything.

"Living quite well, I see."

Chen Xuan smiled at the two, dressed like rustic farmers, and truthfully, he was somewhat envious.

"Seeing the effects."

Zhan also smiled slightly. "Neither fighting nor snatching, surprisingly it’s quite good."

To this, Chen Xuan nodded in deep agreement.

"Alright, you guys chat first."

Clearly, Chen Xuan didn’t come here for him; he wasn’t qualified for that.

This much awareness he had.

After he left, the duplicate came over and asked again, "Big brother, what’s the matter?"

Chen Xuan didn’t speak but sensed his divine soul. After a moment, he frowned slightly.

Weaker than expected!

Also, over these years, he hadn’t paid any attention to the duplicate, and he was just double-eight limits, still not entering the Pseudo-Emperor Realm.

"There shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

He pondered. After all, both shared one body, but he had the active control of their connection.

To focus on closed cultivation, he had long blocked it out.

"Come with me!"

Though puzzled, the duplicate still followed Chen Xuan, and they arrived at the study.

"Here’s the situation...."

Much later.

The duplicate nodded, "This way, there’d be no worries."

As for himself?

No matter!

In his heart, there was only Chen Xuan. Everything was for Chen Xuan!

"Mm!"

"But your current divine soul is still too weak; you must cultivate to the Emperor Realm!"
