Chapter 657 Senior Jiang's debt of gratitude can never be repaid
Many residents of Dahai City witnessed the entire scene around Ye Zhen, and they were instantly in an uproar, filled with envy and exclaiming in amazement.
"He really got this incredible opportunity! He's so lucky! Ye Zhen is truly blessed with great fortune!"
"Yes, this is definitely a prodigy, his future is absolutely limitless, could he become the strongest prodigy?"
Amidst the envious whispers, Ye Zhen suppressed his earlier arrogant and unrestrained youthful spirit, and the playful smile on his face vanished completely.
His back was straight and upright, his posture was dignified and solemn, and his eyes were filled with awe and gratitude. He bowed deeply to the sacred gate of the heavens, his posture sincere and solemn.
"Many thanks to Senior Jiang for bestowing such boundless blessings. I, Ye Zhen, will diligently strive to comprehend the Dao, uphold my true nature, forge ahead bravely, and live up to the great Dao's bounty, and even more so, to the kindness of Senior Jiang in creating me!"
Although he's a bit immature, he's very sensible and knows how to be grateful.
Compared to Ye Zhen's eccentric and high-profile behavior, Yang Jian, who was currently at the Great Xia Supernatural Headquarters, was much calmer.
Under the watchful eyes of the masses, the sacred gate hanging high in the sky slowly trembled. Among the entire group of floating ancient characters, two of the most brilliant and profound ancient characters broke free from the group of myriad law characters and slowly drifted down to the mortal world.
One for destiny, one for humanity.
In an instant, the vast and boundless Dao of Destiny, the humanistic principles encompassing all living beings, exploded and filled Yang Jian's sea of consciousness.
"Time reigns supreme, space is king, destiny is unparalleled, and cause and effect are supreme."
The Great Dao of Destiny is domineering and vast, controlling the rise and fall of all living beings, the ebb and flow of all spirits, and the cycle of eras.
It can see through the past and future, determine the fate of life and death, reverse the trajectory of all paths, and surpass the vast majority of the Great Dao, which can be described as extremely terrifying.
The Great Way of Humanity is gentle and boundless, carrying the vitality of billions of living beings, protecting mortals, calming the chaotic world, and establishing the foundation of the world. It is also a supreme Great Way.
Two seemingly contradictory yet complementary supreme principles intertwine and merge.
Yang Jian's body trembled slightly, his mind was in turmoil, and his eyes were clear and bright.
"Is this what it feels like to face the Great Dao?"
Yang Jian was incredibly excited; he had witnessed what a true myth was.
He suppressed the surging emotions within him, bowed deeply in solemn reverence, and adopted a devout posture.
"Junior Yang Jian will forever remember the kindness of his predecessors in giving him a second chance at life. In this life, he will uphold humanity, protect the common people, and safeguard the world until his death. He will never fail the guidance and cultivation of his predecessors!"
Wang Qiming and the other senior executives at headquarters witnessed Yang Jian obtain two supreme Dao fruits. Their bodies trembled slightly, their faces filled with joy and excitement. They looked at each other, unable to hide their happiness. Their suppressed joy and excitement resounded throughout the hall.
"Excellent! Excellent! Someone in our Great Xia has attained this supreme Dao fruit!"
"Yes, it's fortunate that Yang Jian obtained this great opportunity. If such a top-tier opportunity had fallen into the hands of another country, Great Xia would inevitably be subject to constraints at every turn and fall into a passive position!"
"That's right. From now on, with Yang Jian overseeing Great Xia, and the two supreme principles of destiny and humanity by our side, there will be no crisis in the world that can overthrow Great Xia. We can finally rest easy!"
The group of people were overwhelmed with emotion and filled with immense relief.
They understood perfectly that in the eyes of a supreme being like Senior Jiang, all humankind under heaven were one, without distinction of nationality.
But for these guardians of the Great Xia, the priority must be the security of the Great Xia before they can help the common people. Only when the homeland is stable can the world be stable.
Before long, all the opportunities in the world came to an end, and hundreds of ancient characters of the Great Dao were completely scattered in the mortal world.
In the supernatural world where Yang Jian lives, among the vast sea of billions of living beings, only Yang Jian and Ye Zhen have obtained the orthodox Dao Ancient Characters, and exclusively enjoy the opportunity of the only two supreme Dao Fruits in this world.
The countless people in other countries of this world gained nothing, which filled other countries with bitterness and regret, and the entire outer territory was filled with lamentations.
Countless people in the West gaze at the empty sky, pleading with the heavens:
"Senior Jiang Sheng, we have abandoned our former beliefs. From now on, there is no God in this world. We will only believe in you for the rest of our lives. We beg you to have mercy and grant us good fortune!"
Countless believers in Southeast Asia knelt for a long time, completely abandoning the Brahma statues they had worshipped for countless years, and bowed their heads and wept in worship to the heavens:
"The old gods are powerless, but the great ones can save the world. From this day forward, we will only honor Saint Jiang and hope that you will grant us an opportunity!"
The alien creatures of the frozen tundra and overseas islands all looked dejected, filled with resentment yet helpless, forced to watch as they missed out on an eternal destiny.
As the last ancient character descended to earth, the sacred portal suspended in the heavens slowly withdrew its myriad rays of light, and the surging, vast rhythm of the Great Dao gradually subsided.
That colossal gate, spanning the Milky Way and dominating all realms, eventually transformed into countless fragments of the Great Dao's light, dissolving bit by bit and disappearing into the depths of the origin of heaven and earth, utterly vanishing into the vast sky.
Hundreds of millions of living beings stared blankly at the clear sky, unable to recover for a long time, and then the whole world echoed with endless sighs and regrets.
"It's over... This unparalleled opportunity has completely ended!"
"In the end, my fortune was too shallow, and I missed this once-in-a-millennium opportunity to attain the Great Dao!"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and missing it means missing it forever—it would be an extreme regret!"
Countless people stood there, lost in thought, gazing at the vast sky, filled with regret, reluctant to leave.
Deep within the void, before the divine gate dissipated, the four Heavenly Venerables had already each received their own unique Dao-related opportunities, and their Dao foundations had improved, each achieving their own success.
The Eastern Celestial Venerable obtained the character "protection," thus achieving perfect enlightenment.
After obtaining the character "溯" (Su), the Celestial Venerable Cangxuan achieved mastery of the Great Dao of Time and Space, and was able to dispel the fog of time and space without any further obstacles.
The Heavenly Venerable Zhenyue obtained the character "Zhen" (镇), signifying the perfect attainment of the Great Dao of suppressing evil and killing demons.
With the acquisition of the character "法" (law/method), the bottleneck in his cultivation realm began to loosen, and he was just a step away from breaking through to the level of Heavenly Venerable.
The four Heavenly Venerables stood in the void, closing their eyes for a long time to contemplate, their hearts filled with joy and awe.
In their eyes, these ancient characters of the Great Dao were not just ordinary treasures, but the most fundamental Dao fruits.
It won't instantly boost their strength, but it can thoroughly refine their foundation, make up for shortcomings in their cultivation, dispel the fog on their path, and fill in all the flaws accumulated in their cultivation.
For countless years, they had been stuck at a bottleneck, unable to see the way forward, and unable to find their own shortcomings. With the blessing of the Dao Fruit, all these problems were solved.
For a powerful being like the Celestial Venerable who has reached the pinnacle of the world, a certain increase in strength is no longer of any use; pointing out the path ahead is the invaluable treasure.
"Senior Jiang is our teacher; his kindness is too great!"
This stroke of luck was a billion times more precious to them than a sudden surge in their cultivation.
A moment later, the four opened their eyes, their gazes solemn and majestic, spanning all realms.
Senior Jiang, with his heart set on the well-being of all people, selflessly bestowed upon us an unprecedented opportunity. As the guardians of this world, we must never allow the good deeds of our predecessor to be tainted by the greed of the world.
A decree from the Heavenly Venerable, spanning the vast universe, resounded throughout all realms, its power imposing and cold.
"Those who obtain the opportunity of the ancient characters of the Great Dao are all destined by Heaven. From this day forward, in any world of the Nine Provinces and the Great Thousand Worlds, anyone who dares to presumptuously seize this opportunity and plunder its creation will be killed without mercy!"
Upon the issuance of the decree, all realms fell silent.
"Damn it!"
Countless old monsters and evil cultivators who had been lurking in the shadows, intending to seize the opportunity, felt a chill in their hearts and, though filled with resentment, completely gave up.
They knew that the Heavenly Venerable's majesty was inviolable, so they could only suppress their greed with resentment.
In the vast world of Kyushu, besides Yang Jian, only one other person obtained two supreme Dao ancient characters.
This is a boy, a boy who possesses a special knife coin.
The knife-shaped coin, which should have had a long and intact blade, was broken in the middle. The break was rough and uneven, covered with dark brown rust. Deep within the crack, there was a faint glimmer of dark gold light, which could not be detected without close inspection.
The obverse of the coin is engraved with a twisted and ancient seal script. The lines have been blurred by the passage of time, and the edges are covered with small chips and cracks. The overall color is dark gray-blue, making it look like scrap metal picked up randomly from an ancient tomb, without any mystique.
The boy's name was Li Yi. He was born at the bottom of the safe zone, with no talent for cultivation whatsoever. He was just an ordinary mortal and should have lived an ordinary life. However, his parents had both passed away and were lying in a medical pod that had consumed a huge amount of resources, barely clinging to life.
To earn money for the maintenance cabin, he gripped a rusty steel pipe and ventured alone into the abandoned city, filled with ghosts and rampant pollution, treading on the edge of death to collect strange items to exchange for money.
I recently obtained this mysterious knife coin by chance, hoping to embark on the path of cultivation and then resurrect my loved ones. Unexpectedly, I encountered Jiang Hao who saved the world.
"This Senior Jiang is truly powerful. If only I were that powerful, I could resurrect my father and mother."
The boy looked at the sky with envy. As for the mysterious ancient characters on the Great Dao, he had thought about it, but he knew his chances of obtaining them were too low, so he only thought about it.
To his surprise, he not only obtained the ancient characters of the Great Dao, but he also obtained two of them!
"this……"
Li Yi was overjoyed, as he had unexpectedly received two top-tier Dao Fruits: the Dao of Yi and the Dao of Cause and Effect.
At this moment, Li Yi was hiding in a cave deep in the mountains, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. His mind was trembling, and extreme joy and disbelief filled his heart.
He suppressed his surging emotions and pondered silently:
"I never imagined that after a lifetime of turmoil and hardship, I would receive two such supreme blessings!"
"The character 'Yi' governs the changing of all things and the vicissitudes of the world, while 'Yin' and 'Yin' govern the causes and conditions of the world and the cycle of good and evil. With these two supreme principles by my side, my path to enlightenment is completely complete!"
Despite his elation, Li Yi remained calm and composed, showing no sign of arrogance.
He knew all too well that troubled times harbored treachery and that people's hearts were unpredictable.
Even though the Four Heavenly Venerables have issued decrees to protect opportunities, the world is never short of desperate people and greedy evil cultivators; nothing is absolute.
Li Yi understood the principle of keeping wealth hidden and not flaunting one's virtues from a young age. There was no other way; children from poor families matured early.
"The only way to succeed is to be patient, lie low, and develop quietly."
An unprecedentedly resolute light ignited in Li Yi's eyes:
"By the grace and blessing of Senior Jiang Sheng, I, Li, will diligently cultivate and follow the supreme path of the senior, break through the shackles of the Heavenly Venerable, ascend to the pinnacle of all heavens, and one day, I will reverse the universe and resurrect my parents!"
At this moment, Li Yi had a role model in life and a direction.
Time flies by, and two and a half years have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the once peaceful and stable world of Kyushu was suddenly thrown into turmoil!
