307: The truth of the world, wanting to build a heaven

Watching Ditian leave, Gu Liangyuan sighed leisurely:

“Ditian is also a pitiful person, alas. It’s a pity, but whether or not you were schemed against, since you offended me, you must die!”

With that, his figure slowly disappeared.

Not far away, on a tree branch, a crow watched this scene.

Seeing Gu Liangyuan disappear, it flapped its wings and left.

This crow was precisely Ditian’s spiritual pet.

Because he couldn't believe that Gu Liangyuan, whom he had always considered his son's killer, was innocent, he deliberately left and secretly used this crow to observe.

After seeing Gu Liangyuan's reaction, Ditian finally believed that Gu Liangyuan was truly innocent.

After the crow flew far away, Gu Liangyuan’s figure reappeared.

A mischievous smile played on his lips.

Ditian had some brains, but not much.

If he wants to play with me, he should go back and train for another five hundred years!

It’s just that the golden gong in Taiyi Holy Land's Possession and the precious pearl in Due Holy Land's Possession are a bit troublesome.

He still needs to think carefully about how to break this deadlock.

…

“Alas!”

Deep within Taiyi Holy Land, Ditian, feeling the information transmitted by his Incarnation and the crow, let out a long sigh.

He already had the intention to flee, and now he not only saw through Gu Liangyuan’s thoughts but also let go of his last obsession—the hatred for his son's killer.

What Holy Lord, what Taiyi, all are illusory; only his own strength is fundamental.

Those Elders who relied on Taiyi?

For their own benefit, these people might even offer his head to Gu Liangyuan!

But my son, who killed him after all?

Could it really be that Reverend Golden Light?

Or perhaps, Liu Ruyan?

Ditian couldn't figure it out; he would slowly search for answers later.

Although he had made up his mind to leave the troublesome Taiyi Holy Land, Ditian did not leave immediately.

Before leaving, he could still take advantage of his position as Holy Lord to gain another fortune.

Question: What is the most precious thing in Taiyi Holy Land?

Answer: The golden gong in Yan Ancestor’s hand!

But this matter is of great importance, and he still needs to plan carefully.

He closed his eyes tightly, meticulously pondering the power he could use and all possibilities of obtaining the golden gong.

Finally, he thought of Gu Liangyuan!

There are no eternal enemies, only whether there are interests that can make two people cooperate!

Thinking of this, Ditian’s Divine Thought once again focused on his Incarnation, returning after having left.

Meanwhile, Gu Liangyuan had just returned to Forget-Love Hall when Elder Sha came to summon him again, saying that Ditian had returned.

Although Gu Liangyuan was puzzled, he still chose to meet this Incarnation of Ditian again.

When the two met, Ditian got straight to the point:

“I can help you get rid of the taiyi golden gong.”

Listening to these words, Gu Liangyuan felt increasingly unable to understand Ditian. If he hadn't used his probing technique again to confirm that this was indeed Ditian’s Incarnation, Gu Liangyuan would have suspected that Ditian had been Possessed.

Gu Liangyuan did not answer directly but silently activated the Karma Law, deducing why Ditian would do this.

After a long while, Gu Liangyuan looked at Ditian with surprise in his eyes:

“You don’t want to be the Holy Lord anymore?”

Ditian also hadn't expected Gu Liangyuan to see through his thoughts with just one glance.

He did not directly answer the question but asked again:

“This matter won’t require much effort from you, and it will cause Taiyi to lose this trump card. I think this matter is very worthwhile for you.”

Gu Liangyuan also did not answer directly but countered with a question:

“Tell me your plan?”

Seeing that Gu Liangyuan was unwilling to relent, Ditian told Gu Liangyuan his plan.

Of course, it was half-truth and half-false, difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

From this half-true, half-false plan, Gu Liangyuan understood Ditian’s intention.

To defect with the golden gong!

A Holy Lord defecting—this was truly unprecedented in history.

After all, the Holy Lord is the greatest beneficiary of a Holy Land; the Holy Land's Opportunities are at his disposal, so there's no reason to defect.

But Gu Liangyuan thought carefully from Ditian’s perspective, and only this move would allow Ditian to survive at his hands!

A trace of apprehension appeared in Gu Liangyuan’s eyes as he looked at Ditian.

Without the golden gong, Taiyi Holy Land would be completely at Gu Liangyuan's mercy.

Thinking of the mission reward for unifying the Eastern Continent, Gu Liangyuan couldn't help but be tempted.

Logically speaking, he really couldn't find any reason to refuse Ditian.

But emotionally speaking, Gu Liangyuan didn't want Ditian to live.

Especially Ditian with the golden gong in hand, he would be even harder to kill.

Just then, Ditian’s voice came again:

“The people of Due have always lacked the courage to burn their bridges and dare not be the first in the world.”

“If Taiyi does not surrender, Due will certainly not surrender. With the trump cards of both Holy Lands in hand, even if you can break through, you will pay a heavy price.”

“If Taiyi is subdued by you, Due, fighting alone, will certainly surrender as well.”

“Therefore, the benefits of this matter are even greater than you imagine.”

Listening to Ditian’s words, the killing intent in Gu Liangyuan’s heart grew even stronger!

Ditian had changed; he was completely different from the Ditian in his impression!

These words were both soft and hard.

He seemed to be thinking for himself, but he subtly threatened him.

Ditian had not only become more intelligent but also more ruthless and cruel!

He had lived in Taiyi Holy Land for hundreds of years; even a small cat or dog would develop feelings after hundreds of years.

Yet, for his own benefit, he readily betrayed the people of Taiyi Holy Land.

Such a person, unrestrained by moral emotions, is the most difficult to deal with.

Seeing the fleeting killing intent in Gu Liangyuan’s eyes, Ditian suddenly realized that he had overplayed his hand.

Thus, he remained silent, quietly waiting for Gu Liangyuan’s reply.

After a long while, Gu Liangyuan’s Aura shook, Dao essence swirled around him, and he gained an Epiphany.

Once upon a time, his style was always: if someone provoked him, he would exterminate their entire family.

If someone challenged him, he would exterminate their Sect.

He would nip danger in the bud.

But now, as he had come along, his enemies had grown more numerous.

Leaving aside others, just the Core Formation soldiers of Ancient Mo and Ancient Lü would take several years to exterminate completely.

Relatives connected to relatives, who knew when another cultivation Genius would emerge?

Or perhaps someone simply disliked him and wanted to kill him.

Therefore, killing requires eradicating the root, but eradicating the root does not solve everything.

Only by making himself increasingly powerful, both in cultivation and Luck, far surpassing others, would he have the capital to deal with everything!

Just like Ditian, even if he didn't have the golden gong in hand, who knew when he might have another Opportunity and come to kill him?

Gu Liangyuan had always known that cultivation was the foundation of one's existence, but at this moment, his understanding of this statement deepened by another layer.

To have astonishing methods while being steady, and to seek victory steadily even with astonishing methods.

Like Yin and Yang, there is Yin within Yang, and Yang within Yin!

Gu Liangyuan felt that he had sublimated at this moment!

The Yin and Yang Laws intertwined, and in the blink of an eye, transformed into Yin and Yang Origin!

Under the guidance of the Taiyin Dao Fruit, the Sun Dao Fruit came into being!

“Ding, congratulations to the host for having an Epiphany and comprehending the Yin and Yang Dao Fruit.”

The System prompt pulled Gu Liangyuan’s thoughts back. Looking at the astonished Ditian, Gu Liangyuan had one more reason to subdue Taiyi.

Taiyi Holy Land primarily cultivated the Laws of Sun and Fire.

“I agree!”

Hearing Gu Liangyuan’s affirmative answer, in his delight, Ditian no longer cared about being surprised by Gu Liangyuan’s Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability. He nodded and said:

“Good, I will use this Incarnation to follow you, so I can always maintain contact with my true body.”

Gu Liangyuan opened his sleeve:

“You’re not a beauty, who wants you to stick close to me? Besides, it’s too conspicuous. Stay in my sleeve. I’ll tell you if there’s any news.”

Saying that, regardless of whether Ditian agreed or not, he cast Sun and Moon in Sleeve and took Ditian in.
