Translator: Fate Translation Checker: Silavin There was a great difference between Humanity and the way of Heavenly Dao. True Heavenly Dao birthed life and all of existence without ever seeking anything in return. On the other hand, although Humans could not be described as wicked, they could not be considered saintly either. Everyone had selfish desires and would prioritise oneself above others. “To act in accordance with the Heavenly Dao is to nurture all living beings without asking for anything in return.” Naturally, Gu Changge could do that if he wanted to. He did not need external resources to maintain the cultivation level he held. He could bless all living beings with just a thought alone. After fully refining the Demon Lord True Blood, Gu Changge no longer needed to devour Source to strengthen himself. During his time as a Human, he considered using his understanding of Humanity to form his Dao Fruit and reach the pinnacle of Transcendence. Perhaps he would have a better chance by combining both the ways of the Humans and the Heavenly Dao. Both were simply a manifestation of the Great Dao. He once stood at the culmination of all things seen and unseen. He interpreted Dao and its ideologies, enforced the rules and established its Principles. Having reached the end of his path, his only option was to follow his original plan and break away from the shackles to truly leap beyond it. “I can follow the way of Humans or the way of the Heavenly Dao. I can practice any Dao in the world. All Daos and techniques are at my fingertips. With my thoughts alone, I can create new Daos, new Principles, and new karma…” Gu Changge murmured as he withdrew from his thoughts. He had a clear understanding of both Humans and the Heavenly Dao. At the root of it all, there was no concept of Dao. Its existence and the restraints that came with it formed the concept behind it. In the same vein, Mountains and Oceans True World had shaped itself through the years. Its fate and destiny were stable and flourishing. He did not need to interfere with much. This was not a long process. In a few centuries, or maybe a few millennia, a startling surge of change would wash over the True World. “Hundreds, or maybe thousands, of years is not a very long time. I can use this to form the concept of the Heavenly Dao. The change in everyone’s Fortuity affects the fate of the Mountains and Oceans True World. Destiny is hard to predict, but Fortuity can be found anywhere. In that case, I shall declare my Great Will today. As all living beings thrive, as will the Great Dao. Mountains and Oceans True World will have a new name from henceforth. It will now be called the Prosperous Dao True World.” As Gu Changge thought about the beings of Mountains and Oceans True World, he waved his sleeve and gathered the surging Fortuity before conferring the name Prosperous Dao to this True World. As Gu Changge spoke, two majestic and ancient words shone radiantly in the void and stretched across the edge of the sky like a boundless universe. To change the True Name of a True World was an extremely significant feat. This was a first in history. After all, all True Worlds had a true name the moment they came into existence. The name would have been passed down since then and carried a special meaning. It could not be changed. However, Gu Changge had declared his Great Will and changed the Mountains and Oceans True World to Prosperous Dao True World. By using the Power of Will from the masses, he forcefully formed the foundation of this True World. In a way, the stronger the masses were, the stronger Prosperous Dao True World would be too. … “A Prosperous and Eternal Dao. That is his ambition. Is he planning on reestablishing this True World and making it go down a new path?” Inside the Gu Family’s ancestral hall, the Gu Family’s Founding Ancestor stood up abruptly. His eyes were filled with shock as he muttered in disbelief. Even with his cultivation, he could not change the True Name of a True World. He figured that only the Early Ancestor was capable of that. However, doing something like this would incur great karmic consequences. An ordinary being would have been crushed by now. Even his Soul would have been shattered if he tried to do this. The True Name of a True World was established the moment the True World came into existence. It held great meaning, and in some ways, it determined the eventual fate of the True World. Similar to its name, Mountains and Oceans True World was indeed vast and expansive as it was named for rolling mountain ranges and endless oceans. However, throughout the Gu Family’s Founding Ancestor’s life, he had seen far too many True Worlds like this, such as Cloud Mist True World and River Valley True World… To put it simply, out of the myriads of True Worlds out there, a True World with a True Name as simple as this would have a hard time bearing immense Fortuity. Since Gu Changge renamed Mountains and Oceans True World as Prosperous Dao True World, he would have considered the many consequences of his actions. “Did he rename Mountains and Oceans True World with such ambition because he thought it would not be able to bear the magnitude its incoming future and would collapse prematurely?” The Gu Family’s Founding Ancestor was thunderstruck. Right now, an abundance of Fortuity fell like waves across the world, covering the entire sky. Endless light burst forth as the stars and universes assembled. All living beings in every universe could sense the startling change. It felt like a never-ending supply of Fortuity was gathering from the far corners and drowning everyone. Lightning rained down from the sky as light weaved to form countless auspicious rainbows that gathered high above. While ordinary cultivators did not understand what this meant, the revived experts from ancient times could sense the great changes in the world. This was especially true of Wang Xiaoniu’s Master, the Daoist-robed Master Elder also known as the Drunken Sword Immortal. He could be described as the first expert to reach the Quasi-Dao Realm in the last few epochs of the Mountains and Oceans True World. Naturally, he was rich with Fortuity. Anyone who managed to come this far could have only done so with an abundance of talent and opportunities that far surpassed everyone else. “I can vaguely see the way forward. There’s a faint flicker of light. That’s the opportunity I’ve been waiting for…” At this moment, he was stunned as well, not just by the changes in Mountains and Oceans True World, but by the minute changes in his own cultivation. He had been standing on the threshold of the Quasi-Dao Realm for countless years now and was almost about to doubt whether he could go any further. Yet, as Fortuity gathered in the sky and blessed every living being today, he, too, saw a faint flicker of light. He was so ecstatic that he wanted to roar with laughter. “There is no way I can repay this kindness. Not just me. All the living beings in the world would not be able to repay this favour.” After much difficulty, he calmed down. Nevertheless, he could not hide the excitement in his eyes as he bowed towards the endless void. If Gu Changge had not done what he did, there was no telling how long the Elderly man would have taken before he had the opportunity to reach a higher cultivation Realm. For the entire newly-named Prosperous Dao True World, this was a significant day. Nearly every single living being, including ordinary Mortals who knew nothing about cultivation, felt the effects of the blessing. Naturally, the higher one’s cultivation was, the bigger of an impact this had. What Gu Changge did was acting in place of the Heavenly Dao. He nurtured the masses without seeking anything in return. By doing so, the Fortuity of Prosperous Dao True World would grow and flourish, and the True World would become stronger. As Gu Changge had reestablished the concept of Heavenly Dao, in a way, he was the new Heavenly Dao of this True World. Of course, he was both a selfish Human and the fair Heavenly Dao. He simply did what he wished to do. The Heavenly Dao was merely one of his methods. Gu Changge could not truly be as just and selfless as the Heavenly Dao. He was merely using this to make himself stronger. At the end of the day, neither the way of the Humans nor the way of the Heavenly Dao mattered to him. He would use anything that could benefit him. “Before the Great Purge, Prosperous Dao True World will give birth to countless experts. The more experts there are, the more powerful I am as the Heavenly Dao…” “In a way, I have taken Heavenly Dao if this True World and used it as a source of strength. I can basically be considered the Heavenly Dao’s Embodiment.” Gu Changge’s gaze was deep and unreadable. Once again, he flicked his sleeve and gathered the flourishing Fortuity. His robe fluttered as Fortuity evolved around him. A new world seemed to be forming. There was wind and lightning, as well as dazzling divine light and Chaos Qi that was spreading. It was as if chaos was being ripped apart once more. The aura of the River of Time could be detected. However, that was not the case. Godly weapons and wondrous treasures were being formed in the air. With just thoughts alone, Gu Changge created many godly artifacts. This included a palm-sized flask that contained the essence of nature that could promote the growth of spiritual and divine herbs. There was a sacred bottle made of white jade that could refine miraculous Pills and medicine that could even reform ones’ body. Apart from those, there were also a pair of Celestial Twin Swords, a World Decree, a Divine Demon Halberd, a rusty bronze ancient ring, and fist-sized light spheres of all kinds that held some kind of mystery. A powerful aura mingled among them. Once again, Gu Changge flicked his sleeve, and wandering Souls scattered far and wide were gathered within these light spheres. Some were concealed experts, while some were prominent beings who nearly died. He had sealed off some of their memories, while for others, he added the memory of a ’calling’ into them. Apart from that, Gu Changge gathered a few wisps of primal Chaos Qi and refined them into the shapes of trees, seeds, golden tablets, and falling stars before tossing them into the light spheres as well. These Artifacts were even comparable to the Seven Tools of World Domination that Gu Changge once collected in the Upper Realm. Now, he had even created some of these items out of amusement. Crash! The hazy River of Time was accompanied by the alarming sound of waves. After pondering briefly, Gu Changge did not scatter these created things into the River of Time. Instead, with a flick of his hand, he scattered them all over the Prosperous Dao True World. Flashes of divine light streaked across the sky and fell into the deepest corners of the universe. It was like a rain of opportunities. If he had thrown them into the River of Time, there was a chance that strange and unexpected situations could arise. Even things in the past or the future might change. Therefore, Gu Changge planned on testing them out on Prosperous Dao True World first before considering whether he wished to change the entire River of Time. At this moment, light filled the sky and fell like snow across all the universes and territories. Cultivators with startling cultivation had already sensed the change in Fortuity, but they did not know what happened, so they looked up at the sky in a daze. Meanwhile, due to the appearance of such light across the various universes, destinies that had already been set began to change drastically. In some places, pools of opportunity, Divine Mountains, treasure lands, and even ancient ruins appeared… All of a sudden, the surging Fortuity of Prosperous Dao True World reached even greater heights. … In a world where Martial Dao flourished, an ordinary youth behind a mountain was practising his punches. However, he accidentally stumbled across a ferocious Tiger. The youth fled as quickly as he could, but he carelessly fell into a bone-chilling lake. The water was clear and ice cold, and when the youth fell in, he seemed to have stirred some kind of powerful existence. Whoosh! Deep in the water, a bell that contained primal absolute energy appeared. The power of the bell was strong enough to suppress the world. It contained endless mysteries and the path of Dao cultivation, and it entered straight into the youth’s Knowledge Sea. The terrifying aura that emanated from the youth scared off the ferocious Tiger beyond the icy lake. Later on, he realised he gained numerous memories. He stopped practising his martial arts and began to seek Dao cultivation. In a forgettable cultivation sect, a similarly ordinary Outer Disciple was tending to his Elder’s medicinal field. He watered the plants and cleared the weeds. All of a sudden, he found a little green bottle the size of his palm in the field. It was glowing faintly, and when he picked it up out of curiosity, his palm was scorched, and he quickly released it. However, he found that the little green bottle had disappeared. It was as if everything had been a figment of his imagination. … At the same time, in a large Family in a different world, a young girl who was constantly mistreated by the Matriarch of the Family had to pretend to be a fool to avoid being bullied by malicious servants. While she was hiding in a corner of her room and eating a stale and hardened bun, her eyes were burning with anger and hatred. She was muttering to herself that she would avenge her Birth Mother and make all those who hurt her pay. Just then, she noticed a faint golden glow coming from the tattered book she used to keep the table even. The young girl put down the bun and quickly retrieved the book. The faint golden glow shot into her forehead. “Heartless Creation Technique,” the young girl read the ancient words that popped up inside her mind. It was a supreme Demonic Art that could help her refine a Demonic Body. She would have an invincible body. It was countless times more powerful than the cultivation techniques practised by the core members of her Family. … Similar events happened all over. On this day, strange scenes appeared across the vast Prosperous Dao True World. Many people came across various opportunities. Some had the help of an elderly being, while others gained a strange system that allowed them to act as someone else and gain a lot of strength. Some received a summoning Artifact that allowed them to call upon experts for help. As the abundance of Fortuity continued to surge, all kinds of wondrous occurrences kept happening like a burst of new life after the rain.
