Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Chapter 1139: Chapter 1129: Great Ultimate Origin Freedom Technique (Part 2)

Although Ji Xiaoyu did not spend long years with Gu An, she had some understanding of him and believed that Gu An had ulterior motives for acting this way.

“So, what makes you dare to face me?”

Gu An asked, his voice drowning out the clamor on the Creation Long Stairs.

The vast disparity in strength made the Dao Guardians feel unprecedented pressure, even suffocating.

Li Ya looked at Gu An, feeling both relieved and somewhat worried.

Gu An did not kill the Dao Guardians, indicating a sliver of mercy remained in his heart, but would his arrogance lead him to be manipulated by the Great Dao?

Through this series of developments, Li Ya also became clear-headed.

If the Great Dao were merciless, how could things have come to this point?

If the Great Dao possessed its own will, could it be of a higher level than the Immortal Gods?

The Heavenly Court Immortals also claimed to have created all living beings, but the beings would not die for the Immortal Gods for this reason alone.

The so-called creation essentially borrowed from other powers, and such grace should not dominate the lives of all living beings.

Compared to the mysterious Gu An, Li Ya was more afraid of the unknown Dao Will.

The Wanyuan Dao Ancestor appeared on the Creation Steps, and not only him, but other beings of the Great Dao were also arriving, all of them shocked by the scene on the Creation Long Stairs. Although they did not understand what had happened before, seeing the weak and despairing looks of the surrounding beings made chills run down their spines.

The Wanyuan Dao Ancestor took a deep breath, turned to Gu An, and asked loudly, “Senior, are you that terrifying power?”

At this moment, Gu An’s aura exploded, reminding him of the dark power that had seriously injured him earlier, which was difficult for him to accept.

Why hurt him and then save him?

Toying with him?

At this moment, the Wanyuan Dao Ancestor could no longer care about fear; even if he were to die, he would want to understand why.

More than his own life, he cared about his Dao Universe, and he couldn’t stand by while Gu An devoured it.

“It is me, but it is not me.”

Gu An looked down on the Wanyuan Dao Ancestor and answered expressionlessly.

“What do you mean?” the Wanyuan Dao Ancestor asked with a frown.

“The power you feel now belongs to me. The power you encountered before does not belong to me.”

Gu An did not hide it and stated this fact.

This was something he only understood after becoming the Source Ancient Dao Ultimate Realm.

During his breakthrough, he mistakenly thought the dark power roaming the Great Dao belonged to him; in fact, it did not. That power belonged to another existence that surpassed Infinite Supreme Saint.

But that existence died during the breakthrough, and its power could not completely dissipate, thus wandered in the Endless Dao, being utilized by the Dao.

Whenever a Source Ancient Dao Ultimate Realm was born, malicious thoughts would arise, causing such power to manifest. Gu An timely restrained it, so it would not devour the Dao Universe. There were indeed Dao Universes devoured in the past, proving his power did not affect the past.

All of this was just the facade revealed by the Dao.

It made him mistakenly believe he had created sin, collapsing the defenses in his heart, leading to his complete fall into darkness, truly becoming the darkness feared by all beings.

Upon hearing this, the Wanyuan Dao Ancestor felt joy in his heart. He cautiously asked, “Do you mean that in our unseen circumstances, other powerful beings exist and manipulate everything in the shadows?”

His voice was loud, intentionally allowing all beings to hear it.

Upon hearing this, more and more Dao Guardians came to their senses.

Thinking carefully, something indeed seemed off. The Dao’s abnormal behavior in making them confront Wushi, such actions and emotions did not resemble the Dao but rather more like a being with emotions.

Standing among the Immortal Gods, Tian Hao sighed in relief, a smile revealing on his face. As he suspected, his master remained unchanged.

He always remembered the feeling of being saved by his master in despair, and at that time, he desired to become someone like his master. Even after recovering the memory of the Son of Heaven, he did not forget his wish from back then.

At this moment, a thunderous sound boomed in the depths of the void, startling countless beings to turn their heads, only to see a bloody fissure appear in the darkness, more enormous and dreadful than the Creation Long Stairs beneath their feet.

Within that bloody fissure, an eye suddenly opened, an incomparably cold eye with golden pupils seemingly housing stars, its enormity making even the Saints feel suffocated and horrified.

This eye seemed to originate from beyond the Dao, peering into everything inside the Dao.

“What is that…?”

A Heavenly Court Immortal muttered, as even looking into that eye they felt a chill.

The Wanyuan Dao Ancestor looked from afar, equally fearful.

“Indeed… it’s this feeling… it’s him…”

The Wanyuan Dao Ancestor muttered, his body trembling, as if the dispelled curse power once again engulfed him.

Gu An turned to look, not surprised.

In his gaze, a figure emerged from the depths of the eye’s pupil, a white-haired man draped in a Black Robe, the bottom of which was tattered as if a vengeful ghost had come from the Abyss.

Behind the white-haired man, golden chains linked him to the massive eye behind.

“You are indeed difficult to deal with, forcing I to reveal myself.”

The white-haired man opened his mouth slowly, raising his chin, his face showing cold indifference, his eyes filled with extreme killing intent.

Upon seeing his appearance, everyone felt it absurd.

Was he the Dao Will?

If so, did it mean all living beings had been toyed with by the Dao?
