The Growth of a God

Chapter 881 - 15: The Fifth Celestial Father · Great Celestial Elder

Unexpectedly, Hua She chose to voluntarily give up this rare opportunity.

At this moment, Li Hao’s will has already fully immersed itself in the [Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda].

Different from the feeling when he entered with his incarnation last time.

Li Hao, opening the [Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda] as the Creator, has revealed extraordinary divine phenomena.

Upon the first activation of the [Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda], Li Hao knew he was not unlocking the pagoda the way the Tao Ancestor intended.

The Tao Ancestor intends to choose someone who will inherit his Tao lineage, not someone who equals him in existence.

Even though Li Hao used the clever strategy of adopting an incarnation to lower his rank, he ultimately opened the path to Bai Yu City through realization.

In reality, according to the Tao Ancestor’s initial thoughts, his inheritor couldn’t unlock the complete form of the [Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda].

First is ascending to the world of destruction...

Then fulfilling the salvation agreement in the Destruction World with Chaos God·Emperor Jiang...

Finally, Emperor Jiang will honor the agreement with the Tao Ancestor and send the inheritor to Bai Yu City...

This was the procedure set by the Tao Ancestor from the start, a series of trials he placed upon his inheritor.

Only when the inheritor’s temperament and abilities met the Tao Ancestor’s requirements could they complete their final transformation in Bai Yu City and become the true "Lord of Bai Yu City".

However, plans often cannot keep up with changes.

Due to various reasons, that Emperor ultimately couldn’t complete the remaining tests set by the Tao Ancestor.

Instead, Li Hao, who had been relentlessly seeking the Tao Ancestor’s whereabouts, comprehended the Taoist Lord’s legacy with incredible insight, prematurely opening the path to Bai Yu City in the Destruction World.

This directly led to the premature emergence of the [Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda], and a series of subsequent reactions.

With Li Hao unwilling to expose his identity, he could only lure out the hidden entities of Bai Yu City.

At least until he confirmed whether Bai Yu City posed any danger, Li Hao had no intention of sending his incarnation to the [Ascension Area] again.

The Profound Realm Heaven is that bait...

The Yellow robed King, refined by the [Heaven and Earth Exquisite Treasure Pagoda], might also become that bait...

"This Innate Eight Trigrams is slightly more dangerous than you described."

Standing within the completely excavated giant Eight Trigrams Ruins, Huo Dou surveyed the surroundings and spoke.

Despite dozens of excavators having dug through the entire ruins, Huo Dou could still see the fate lingering on this wasteland.

It’s a concept both illusory and real, one only visible to the God of Destiny who controls fortune and misfortune.

Clearly, Wang Shu had long discerned some insider information about this Eight Trigrams Ruins, hence she specifically brought Huo Dou over.

After all, no matter how you look at it, Huo Dou represents the divine position of misfortune.

"You really can see, the entity behind you is much stronger than I imagined."

Receiving Huo Dou’s affirmative response, Wang Shu subtly relaxed.

If this were the [Ascension Area], mere fate and fortune wouldn’t prompt Wang Shu to go to such lengths.

But here in the law-locked [Fallen Area], Wang Shu wasn’t the God of Destiny who specialized in controlling fortune and misfortune.

The existence of the Innate Eight Trigrams is already beyond her capacity; Wang Shu could only place her hopes on a professional like Huo Dou.

"..."

Although she had long known Wang Shu’s purpose here carried some probing intent.

Upon hearing the other party’s unabashedly straightforward words, Huo Dou couldn’t help but feel somewhat speechless.

"Aren’t you supposed to at least act the part a little?"

Facing Huo Dou’s sarcasm, Wang Shu merely shrugged without a change in expression.

Wang Shu indeed aimed to probe the existence behind Huo Dou, but that didn’t hinder her genuine desire to destroy this Innate Eight Trigrams Array.

"Didn’t I say before, the significance of this Innate Eight Trigrams Ruins is on par with the immortal body excavated from Kunlun."

"I wasn’t exaggerating; I was stating a fact."

Before Huo Dou could inquire further, Wang Shu proactively began to explain.

"I’ve uncovered some matters related to this Eight Trigrams Ruins..."

"Have you heard of Bai Yu City?"

"It’s that legendary ’City of Immortals’."

Posing the question, Wang Shu evidently didn’t expect Huo Dou to have heard of that legendary city, so she continued speaking to herself.

"The birth of Bai Yu City can be traced back to the era of the Fifth Celestial Father·Great Celestial Elder."

"According to legend, the Great Celestial Elder once intended to develop high-speed channels linking All Heavens and Myriad Realms to strengthen inter-world communication."

"During the era when the Great Celestial Elder was active, each world had a teleportation gate leading to other spaces."

"Even after the Great Celestial Elder’s demise, many worlds from His era retained the existence of the teleportation gates."

"Unfortunately, as worlds perished and emerged, those worlds that retained the teleportation gates dwindled."

"However, some still firmly believed that the Great Celestial Elder preserved the spark capable of connecting All Heavens and Myriad Realms — that being Bai Yu City."

After a brief pause, Wang Shu deeply exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"It’s not a divine artifact, nor a secret treasure..."

"Bai Yu City is the central hub connecting All Heavens and Myriad Realms, the sole legacy of the Great Celestial Elder in this world."

"I once thought it was merely a legend until one day, I truly reached Bai Yu City."

"That City of Immortals is not fabricated."

"The true Bai Yu City still exists somewhere in the ’Ascension Area’, attempting to reconnect All Heavens and Myriad Realms."

"Unfortunately, since the Great Celestial Elder’s disappearance, Bai Yu City’s capabilities have been significantly weakened."

"Forget about connecting All Heavens and Myriad Realms, its very existence now relies heavily on those immortals."

Listening to Wang Shu’s words, Huo Dou, for a moment, didn’t know how to respond.

The clues he had been arduously pursuing regarding Bai Yu City and the Tao Ancestor unexpectedly revealed themselves to him in such a manner?

"So what does this have to do with the Eight Trigrams Ruins?"

After a brief silence, Huo Dou curiously inquired.

"Many immortals once attempted to inherit Bai Yu City, trying to reestablish the Great Celestial Elder’s rank."

"Among them, the one closest to success was Primordial Celestial King, known as the ’Lord of Bai Yu City’."

"And based on my research, Primordial Celestial King was one of The Three Pristine Ones..."

"You’ve lived on this land for quite some time, you should understand what The Three Pristine Ones signify, right?"

"Kunlun’s immortal body, and now this Innate Eight Trigrams Ruins, I suspect are both related to The Three Pristine Ones."
