Carefree Path of Dreams Chapter 657 Ghost Deity

In the main hall of the Kun Wu mountains.
Fang Yuan sat high up on a bed of clouds and flicked his fingers.
Two plumes of green smoke billowed upwards like two dragon pearls, consuming the air voraciously like a tiger and with no visible pattern in its convergence and divergence. It formed a scenery of mountains, hills, and flat plains, which was actually the map of the Five Elements Continent.
At this moment, in the midst of mist, many clouds gathered and manifested various weather phenomena.
"Fate and destiny, in reality they're the manifestations of an exterior and innate ability, and they wouldn't materialize out of nothing… Even though it's a favor from the Divine Gods, it also consists of the contributions from the Divine Gods!"
Fang Yuan silently sighed.
Even though it was the path of Fengshui that gathered fate and destiny, it must also have the support of the land and the ancestors. The appearance of the true dragon, as mentioned in the previous world, must either be because they already had millions of soldiers that had conquered the entire land, or they must've obtained the support of the land and the favor of the Divine Gods. Whatever the case may be, it must've had its own origin or received a gift from the supervisors, and it cannot be without its own origin.
Hence, there was only one conclusion—You must have skills before you can have a destiny, and anything else is just a mere fantasy.
"Of course, the skills or assets that are bestowed upon you by others isn't as stable as when compared to obtaining it by ourselves with our own hardwork and steady efforts. Hence, even different weather conditions will also make an impact on whether it brings about good luck or misfortune, just like the wax and wane of the tides. We can then have the opportunity to oversee the energy practitioners of the realm scrape a living…"
With Fang Yuan's current Fiery Golden Eyes, he could observe most of the phenomena even if he was in Da Qian. He was even more dominating regarding his own Heavenly Abode, and everything was as easy as flipping over his palm to observe his own fingerprints.
After all, regardless of whether it was the Xuan Nation or Kun Nation that worshipped the heavens and proclaimed their king, the "king" that they worshipped was actually he himself!
At this moment, when he looked at the map of the nation's vast territory again, he could immediately see the ascent of two streaks of the nation's destiny.
One of them was thick and heavy but appeared to be slightly scattered, while the other one, though it was very thin, it was full of life and vigor. These were definitely the nation's destiny of both the Xuan Nation and the Kun Nation.
What was strange was that in the surrounding mountains and rivers, there was also a small congregation of black energy that started to permeate into the Xuan Nation's destiny.
"That is the demon tribe's destiny!"
Fang Yuan clasped his fingers and instantly shook his head. "Too bad… It's difficult for the demon tribe to materialize. The giant demons who previously listened to my preachings were all transformed by me, and it was only then that were they able to greatly improve. If that wasn't the case, an average, muddle-headed beast that wanted to unlock its intelligence and cultivate a spiritual spell? Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!!!"
Even within the human race, a prodigal Immortal Cultivator was very rare. The average animal must first have intelligence before understanding the method of cultivation, and they must improve in order to become a part of the demon race.
"Unless I change the rules of nature and allowed the Emperor Flow Serum to appear earlier on, it would be a joke if the demon race wanted to conquer the mainland; just its population alone is enough to make it totally unqualified to do so.
Fang Yuan smiled slightly.
Although the few giant demons who listened to his preachings in the beginning had already cultivated to an extremely high domain today, and they could be regarded as someone with vast magical powers and endless magical abilities, the size of the demon tribe still determined that they were fundamentally unable to become a significant force in the battle to conquer the mainland—at least for now, they could only assimilate themselves into the human's chaotic wars and secretly carry out their plans.
Compared to them, that herring was worth a little more attention.
"In the fight between the human Tao's, who will prevail in the end?"
Fang Yuan's gaze had already gone beyond the conflicts on the mainland in order to see things on a higher level.
Even though he was the creator of the realm, to guide the living beings on the realm to continuously breeding and eventually accumulate enough to become the realm's consciousness, they must have some conflict with the heavenly karma.
This is a contradiction between humans and nature!
This is better than the previous old, vast realm where the sages took up the entirety of the realm's consciousness and were actually able to banish the heaven's will for a short period of time!
But at this moment, Fang Yuan himself was God, and he was naturally inclined towards the side of the heaven's will.
"The Xuan Nation and the Kun Nation were both determined by human Taos, yet the flood dragon Li Rubi was, instead, determined by the heaven's will. Among them, whoever was able to conquer the mainland and take control of the plains, in actuality, would represent the first victory coming from the conflict between the human Tao and the heaven's will."
Regarding this point, Fang Yuan wasn't worried at all.
After all, the living creatures of the realm were still too weak, and the human Tao that they established was also very frail.
Furthermore, this creator, Fang Yuan, could easily and completely exterminate it.
If he waited til the future like the Da Qian and the old realm, and if he gave the living creatures complete freedom to multiply to a population of a few billion in number, with the prevalence of high-levelled masters, couldn't he then try to exterminate it? Do not assume that those native masters wouldn't dare to descend upon the heavens!
The path of cultivation is full of challenges. There is no Tao in heaven, and I can then descend upon the heavens!
"There's also a paradox inside. For a realm to progress, the quantity and quality of the living creatures will need to improve. However, once they're stronger, the control that the creator has on the realm will continuously decrease. Just like how an office that has entered the market will have its stock equity reduced. Even though the business might be large and strong, the founder's authority will continue to drop. The internal trade-off is difficult to say…"
Fang Yuan's gaze seemed to penetrate through the ages and see the future. "Hence… we need to set some rules early on… with this being an example!"
Making use of the current circumstance where the human Tao is still new, frail, and weak, is the best opportunity!
Of course, these calculations must not be exposed to any outsiders.
On the Five Elements Continent, the war between the Kun Nation and the Xuan Nation has also reached a vigorous, intense stage.
After Xuan died, the country became unstable, and even though the newly elected Zhang relied on the previous arrangements and became king, he could only control the citizens within the Xuan Nation's capital and the earliest tribes along the Giant River.
Furthermore, Kun Xie managed to breach Thick Earth City in a day, and his name and reputation shook the earth while he used his authority to push through to the Xuan Nation's capital. The cities and tribes along the way practically surrendered at the slightest disturbance, and the number of people who secretly defected couldn't be counted, sufficiently proving the previous decisions made by Kun Xie. This made him even more confident as his army's morale and power pushed through to the Xuan Nation's capital.
Being a kingdom, its walls were higher and stronger than that of Thick Earth City. The buildings were neatly arranged like a giant beast crouching down on the horizon.
When the Kun Nation's general saw the Xuan Nation's capital, he was immediately shaken by this scene.
"Only such a majestic city is suitable to function as my royal palace in the future!"
Kun Xie saw this scene and laughed out loud instead.
At this moment, with the numerous people who surrendered and defected along the way, his army which originally had less than ten thousand people had already grown to a size of thirty thousand in strength. Although they were mostly a disorganized group of people, the vibe they exuded was overall, very imposing.
Comparatively, the Zhang king had an utterly isolated appearance. The people within the city, as of this moment, were at most ten thousand in number.
With the assistance of spiritual techniques, Kun Xie was very confident in accomplishing the entire task in one stroke—to annihilate the nation in a single war!
"Dispatch someone to call for the Zhang king's surrender!
"The army should cook rice and set up camp to prepare to attack tomorrow!"
He released commands systematically, but suddenly, he broke out into a cold sweat as his blood started rushing. An unlucky omen enveloped his entire body.
Kun Xie instinctively looked towards the city wall and suddenly saw the floating coarse silhouette of a large-sleeved person there.
The other party was in formal attire with an upright disposition. Unknowingly, when Kun Xie's gaze matched with the other party's eyes, his entire body instantly quivered. "You are…"
Within his memory, he suddenly returned to the previous time when he had heard the preachings of the ancient Gods. It was the large golden-winged Pengornis that flew into the Nine Skies in a whirlwind!
"Kun Xie, it's joyous news for us old friends to meet again. Unfortunately, I am Xuan's mighty Imperior Advisor at the moment, and I can only give you a large present!"
The person on the wall suddenly opened his mouth, and the sound traversed ten miles and could be heard from afar.
Chirp chirp!
Accompanying the vicious cries of a bird that penetrated through the air and clouds, the human silhouette stepped out and immediately took to the skies with his large sleeves floating like a roc. With great ambition, it ascended upwards in a whirlwind and suddenly projected a large shadow downwards.
"No… You dare!!!"
A bright light flickered in Kun Xie's eyes, and he was inadvertently devastated when he suddenly saw a large golden-winged Pengornis opening its beak and swallowing things like a black hole.
Unfortunately, in terms of magical powers and spiritual techniques, he was still a few notches below this large demon.
Whoosh whoosh!
In the next moment, strong winds blew and covered the sky.
After the general regained his composure, he suddenly realized that the ten thousand strong army that was at the frontlines had actually disappeared without a trace.
Only Kun Xie, who was a cultivator, saw it very clearly.
Just now, that large golden-winged Pengornis viciously opened its huge mouth and swallowed his entire ten thousand strong army in one bite.
Pfft!
This setback instantly made him worry and his chest tighten, causing him to wobble. He suddenly opened his mouth and fresh blood spurted out.
"King!"
The general and soldiers in his surroundings instantaneously entered a state of chaos.
…
"The mighty Imperial Advisor!"
As a stark contrast to the Kun army, there was a great deal of joy on top of the city walls.
"Mm. You waited to retreat, while I craved peace…"
The Imperial Advisor waved his hand and made the crowd move back while his face suddenly reddened.
"What happened?"
At the side, a beautiful palace lady appeared with her face containing a shadow of uncertainty.
"It's the backlash from the human race's spirit!"
The golden-winged Pengornis restrained it after a great deal of effort, and it immediately laughed coldly. "Previously, I occasionally ate a few 'Blood food,' but I totally didn't realize that after unleashing my magical powers and divine techniques to exterminate tens of thousands of people in one go, I had unfortunately suffered backlash… I'm afraid this will damage my foundation as a Immortal Cultivator!"
"Is this your karma?"
The beautiful palace lady's complexion changed. "The powers of the human race is great. Where do I go next?"
"Regardless, we, the demon race, still have to compete for the position of conqueror!"
The golden-winged Pengornis's complexion had some mystery behind it. "After this battle, the war for the human race's dynasty will continue for at least ten years, and it will be an opportunity for my demon race!
"The techniques and logic that Master preached was extremely profound. I've thought hard for ten years and have discovered a magical technique that could perhaps assist my demon race!"
"Oh, what magical technique is it?"
The beautiful palace lady's complexion changed.
"I shall call this—the Ghost Deity Technique! The ghost deity traverses the underworld, it cannot be created nor destroyed, it can overcome darkness, and it has no name. Although it cannot repeatedly return and has no place to go, it can be reincarnated."
The golden-winged Pengornis laughed bitterly. "Originally, I wanted to find the Immortal Cultivator. However, I couldn't help but think of a magical technique that could promote us to the state of a deity with our level of cultivation… However, the possession reincarnation technique within it cannot ever be used by other children!"
"You are saying… to transverse realms and reincarnate… to transform into a human?"
"Correct. The human race has an intelligent mind, and regardless of studying or cultivation, their standard far exceeds that of an average creature or beast by many notches, and they can be regarded as the consciousness of all beings. Those incredibly dumb children should traverse the realms once. It could increase some of their spiritual intelligence!"
The Pengornis passed down this magical technique and instantly stopped talking. It directly transformed into a torrent of strong winds and disappeared.
The beautiful lady saw this scene and her facial expression became more serious. "The backlash… was actually to this extent? Could it be that the heaven's will loves the human race to this extent? No! This is only because they've conquered the mainland and have achieved the rank of an overlord. After some time, it isn't impossible for my demon race to replace them!"
