Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation

Ding Huan felt a sudden shock in his heart. Who could have calculated on this leather scroll?

The key point was that this leather scroll was hidden within his Divine Soul. Even he couldn't find it, yet someone else could calculate it?

Could it be that the person who calculated the leather scroll could penetrate the depths of his Sea of Consciousness?

"Who ambushed you?" Ding Huan asked aloud.

"If I tell you, will you release me?" A Dao Rhythm message came from the leather scroll.

Ding Huan said calmly, "Whether I release you depends on you. If you can convince me that you are indeed a Dao Rhythm I left behind in one of my past lives, why wouldn't I let you go?

I might even merge with you immediately, allowing me to regain my memories of past lives."

Though he said this, Ding Huan was one hundred percent certain that he had no connection with this Dao Rhythm.

This thing definitely had an unusual origin.

"It was the Heavenly Dao that calculated against me." The voice of that Dao Rhythm in the leather scroll sounded somewhat resentful.

The Heavenly Dao?

Ding Huan stared suspiciously at the leather scroll before him. He didn't believe the Heavenly Dao would calculate against this leather scroll.

"Your cultivation level is too low, so naturally, you can't sense it. The Heavenly Dao left a Dao Principle in this world, indicating that the Chaos World is nearing completion, and the Great Dao opportunity is right before us. I couldn't possibly wait any longer..."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that this world and other worlds will merge again to form a complete Chaos World. Once the Chaos World forms, a complete Chaos Dao Principle will appear.

Moreover, Chaos Primordial Qi will fill the entire Chaos at an instant. If Chaos Primordial Qi emerges and isn't absorbed, it will instantly turn into ordinary world Primordial Qi.

At that time, if I haven't merged with you, I will be unable to absorb the true Chaos Primordial Qi and will not perceive the Chaos Dao Principle either.

In this way, all my calculations and waiting for so many years will turn to ashes."

Ding Huan remained silent, pondering why the Heavenly Dao would calculate against the Dao Rhythm in the leather scroll.

Why would the Heavenly Dao give a fake Heavenly Dao Principle?

"Because I sensed the direction of the Great Dao from the Heavenly Dao, and I felt your slaughter of the Demon Clan and Demon Race, making me even more anxious and confirming that the formation of the Chaos World was real.

If you don't quickly cultivate to the Immortal King Realm, I won't be able to merge with you and will miss the formation of the Chaos World."

"Why must I cultivate to the Immortal King Realm to merge?" Ding Huan asked again.

"I am one of your Dao Rhythms. When you advance to the Immortal King, the quality of your Dao Rhythm transforms. That's the optimal time for me to merge there.

If your cultivation is too low during the merge, it will cause your Sea of Consciousness to collapse, making it impossible to fully merge."

Feeling that Ding Huan remained silent, the Dao Rhythm continued to convey its message: "You should know how much Great Dao wisdom I contain, right?

If I weren't a Dao Rhythm left by you in the past life, why would I seek you out? And why would I help you repeatedly afterward? Even the Tian Gang Daoist Skill was something I let you comprehend.

If you don't quickly merge with this Dao Rhythm, your Nirvana opportunity left on Blue Star will become uncertain..."

The leather scroll's Dao Rhythm message kept pouring out. Ding Huan didn't miss a single word of critical information.

He considered the leather scroll's claim of being a Dao Rhythm from his past life as nonsense.

Although it was only a Dao Rhythm, it had mapped out quite a bit against him.

Many pieces of information and Dao Rhythms he yearned to know wouldn't come forth. As for the Tian Gang Daoist Skill, if Lao Liu hadn't given him the broken one, he wouldn't have figured it out.

Truth be told, even without the complete Tian Gang Daoist Skill, given the broken one and the Great Universe Technique, he could have extrapolated a new Tian Gang Daoist Skill.

He pondered why the Heavenly Dao would obscure the intelligence of this leather scroll's remaining Dao Rhythm.

The fact that the Heavenly Dao obscured this Dao Rhythm's intelligence benefited only Ding Huan.

Was the Heavenly Dao aiding him?

However, he felt no sense of belonging to the Pangu Great World. If not for Xing Pan's good relationship with him, he wouldn't even bother with the division and chaos in the Pangu Great World.

Given that, the Pangu Great World's Heavenly Dao had no reason to assist him.

If not the Heavenly Dao, why did the leather scroll think it was the Heavenly Dao?

No, initially, the leather scroll thought it was someone who ambushed it, then later said it was the Heavenly Dao.

Who was the Heavenly Dao?

A single name appeared in Ding Huan's mind – the Dao Ancestor of Zixiao Palace.

When Pangu opened the heavens, the Heavenly Dao was incomplete. The Dao Ancestor fused with the Heavenly Dao to make up for its deficiencies, transforming into the Heavenly Dao.

That matched perfectly.

Only the Dao Ancestor had the power to lay down a Great Dao Principle in the Pangu Great World.

After the Nine Heavens crumbled, the Dao Ancestor took the remnants of the Nine Heavens and left the original universe, eventually arriving at the Pangu Great World.

The Dao Ancestor deemed the Pangu Great World's rules incomplete, so he didn't stay.

The Dao Ancestor appointed Emperor Wushang as the Heavenly Emperor and then left the Pangu Great World to continue seeking a higher universe.

This was also one of the reasons Ding Huan wanted to follow in the Dao Ancestor's footsteps.

If it were the Dao Ancestor, predicting this variable wouldn't be surprising.

The Dao Ancestor even predicted that Emperor Wushang would be ousted by him, ultimately making Xing Pan the Heavenly Emperor.

The question was, why didn't the Dao Ancestor directly make Xing Pan the Heavenly Emperor? Asking him to assist seemed redundant.

The fact that the Dao Ancestor could predict other things seemed normal to Ding Huan.

However, perceiving that he would be coerced by a Dao Rhythm and leaving a false Dao Principle to obscure that calculation seemed absurd.

No matter how absurd, one thing was certain: the Dao Ancestor did indeed help him.

The Dao Ancestor helped him and made Emperor Wushang the Heavenly Emperor. Could this be because the Pangu Great World also faced a Calamity?

The Human Tribe extinguishing the Demon Clan, Demon Race, and Demon Gods was just a part of the Calamity?

Just like the events during the Nine Heavens, from the Primordial Calamity to the Wizard-Demon Calamity, the Enshrinement Calamity, and the Journey to the West Calamity, every so often, a Calamity would occur.

Until the Nine Heavens shattered.

"I have two questions. Who was I previously? And why do Calamities occur? Why do even Saints create Calamities?"

Ding Huan asked the two mysteries that puzzled him the most.

"When Chaos first divided and the Primordial Era began, aside from the three thousand Demon Gods, there was also a Dao Spirit born, named Taixu. Taixu was your previous incarnation. When you were communicating with the vast cosmos, you were absorbed into someone else's Heavenly Dao.

Of course, you couldn't allow yourself to live under someone else's Heavenly Dao, so you worked to tear apart the Chaos, striving to reorganize the cosmos' order..."

The Void Flames obviously sensed the leather scroll Dao Rhythm mentioning its name and seemingly using it, instantly becoming furious.

The temperature of the flames surged instantly, and threads of Flame Law burned toward the leather scroll, as if determined to incinerate it completely.

The leather scroll sensed Taixu's anger and began to shake incessantly.

Clearly, the frenzied burning of Void Flames was unbearable for the leather scroll.

Ding Huan gave a message to the Void Flames, signaling it to calm down slightly.

Once the Void Flames' temperament moderated, Ding Huan coldly stated, "You mean the Calamities in the Nine Heavens Cosmic World were caused by me?"

"Correct, not only did you do so, but you also took a disciple using slaughter to prove the Dao."

"And who was that disciple?"

"The Demon God Luo Hou."

Ding Huan was inwardly shocked. Was Taixu this powerful?

Even Luo Hou was his disciple. How strong must he have been?

Yet it seemed he was still overshadowed by the Dao Ancestor.

"Very well, so what form does the existence on Blue Star take and how can it merge with me?"

No matter how vivid and realistic this Dao Rhythm's description was, Ding Huan still considered it nonsense.

"I am merely a Dao Rhythm. Many things are only vague impressions. To obtain accurate information, merging the Dao Rhythm is enough."

Ultimately, it boiled down to wanting Ding Huan to merge with the leather scroll.

Ding Huan immediately sent a thought to Taixu: "This damn thing wants to use your name. Let's destroy it."

Already eager to burn the leather scroll, Taixu's flames intensified upon receiving Ding Huan's suggestion.

Ding Huan continuously reinforced the Flame Law onto Taixu. The already surging Void Flames elevated to a higher level.

Ding Huan himself began to burn his Essence Blood to enhance the temperature of the Flame Law. He knew eliminating this leather scroll would not be simple.

Through his unrelenting efforts, the Void Flames erupted with a terrifying temperature surpassing that of a ninth-level Immortal Flame.

Though Ding Huan's cultivation lacked, his Great Dao Law was unrivaled.

Now burning his Essence Blood to drive the Flame Law, it was unstoppable and invincible.

And yet, despite everything, he couldn't destroy the Dao Rhythm within the leather scroll, revealing its great strength.

"Ding Xiaotu, you are digging your own grave, you will regret this..."

The Dao Rhythm in the leather scroll sent out another Dao Rhythm message, but the next moment, the immortal array formed by this Dao Rhythm succumbed, consumed by Ding Huan's reinforced Void Flame.

Sizzle!

Black smoke rolled off the leather scroll's surface, and the leather scroll twisted frantically.

Ding Huan had to admire the resilience of this leather scroll. Such a high temperature, surpassing even the ninth level of Immortal Flame, couldn't burn out a singular Dao Rhythm.

A day, ten days, a month passed...

Ding Huan's physical body nearly advanced to the ninth level of the Immortal Body, but he and Taixu continued their fiery assault on the leather scroll.

Three months later, the black smoke around the leather scroll turned gray, then from gray to white, and eventually red.

Yet the leather scroll persisted, writhing like an unkillable cockroach.

Crack!

Dust explosions echoed from Ding Huan's body, as streams of powerful Immortal Spirit power weaved into his body in an instant.

Ninth level Immortal Body achieved.

At this point, Ding Huan, even without the Nirvana Technique, wouldn't be affected by the fire magma on his body.

But for now, for Ding Huan, the progress in body refining was merely an added boon; his true goal was to burn the leather scroll.

Another month passed, and Ding Huan tapped into the Immortal Spirit Vein in the iron pot.

Indeed, with the Immortal Spirit Source from the Immortal Spirit Vein, the level of the Void Flames rose again.

Still, it wasn't enough. Ding Huan continued watching the leather scroll dancing merrily within the Void Flames.

He tossed ten superior Immortal Spirit Veins into the Void Flames.

The temperature, initially far superior to the fire magma, exploded with a thunderous roar as the ten top-grade Immortal Spirit Veins were thrown in.

Soon, Ding Huan saw the top layer of the leather scroll's color vanish, changing from grayish-brown to light gray.

The superior Immortal Spirit Veins weren't enough. Ding Huan then threw in a supreme Immortal Spirit Vein.

The supreme Immortal Spirit Vein erupted in the flames, elevating the flames to another level of intensity.

The gray color receded from the leather scroll, turning to dull white.

Still not enough.

Ding Huan's Divine Will fell upon the Dao Vein.

This Dao Vein was only a few meters long, entirely a remnant within remnants.

He was truly reluctant to use it; once used, his cultivation speed would slow significantly.

However, after advancing to the Immortal King in the future, using this Dao Vein for cultivation, he could reach the Immortal Emperor Realm in the shortest time.

Forget it, without daring to risk it, the wolf cannot be captured.

(The third update will be a bit delayed.)
