650: Chapter 650 The Will of Heaven

Chen Yi frowned, his thoughts churning in his mind.

However, after thinking it over and over, he still couldn't make heads or tails of it.

It was too absurd!

What exactly does the Will of the Heavenly Dao want to do?

Chen Yu's Incarnation paused deliberately, leaving him time to organize his thoughts.

It was as if he were waiting for a student to digest newly learned knowledge!

After a while, Chen Yu continued.

"Isn't it surprising? Such an existence is the root of despair; even I would be stunned into silence! Next, I will answer your questions one by one!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi immediately snapped out of his thoughts.

He had too many questions that needed answering now!

For some reason, he had a feeling as if everything about him had been seen through.

Being able to converse with a recording from the past—

It felt like their knowledge and methods were simply not on the same level!

Is this Emperor Chen Yu?

He felt like he and Emperor Chen Yu were worlds apart!

"First, you must be wondering why I chose to explain this to you now, instead of telling you before An Ran descended? And in this form, at that—"

"The reason is simple, just as I said at the beginning: if I still had a remnant Soul in this world, once I spoke of these matters, the Will of the Heavenly Dao would detect it!"

"By then, all efforts would be in vain!"

"The Will of the Heavenly Dao is omnipresent; it is not something you can avoid just by wanting to!"

"His will is the will of the entire Universe; no action related to me can be hidden from him!"

"Therefore, I can only pass everything on to you in this form!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi was completely stunned.

He seemed unable to understand Chen Yu's meaning!

In his view, the Will of the Heavenly Dao seemed like a righteous existence, guarding the rules of the world and maintaining the order of the Universe!

Why would it monitor Chen Yu?

Could it be that for Chen Yu, the Will of the Heavenly Dao is more like a police inspector?

Or is it that... the Will of the Heavenly Dao has its own purpose, a purpose completely different from Chen Yu's?

Chen Yu's Incarnation did not give him time to let his imagination run wild and continued to answer his questions.

"Second, you must be wondering why I was monitored by the Will of the Heavenly Dao, and why, when An Ran became like that, the Will of the Heavenly Dao allowed her to mobilize the rules of the Heavenly Dao?"

"In fact, I hadn't thought about these things before I died. It was only after I died, and the Will of the Heavenly Dao restrained my Soul Origin, that I understood what kind of existence it is."

"The Will of the Heavenly Dao must have spoken to you about rules and such, right? The rules of the Void Realm and even the Universe are actually manifested from the will of one person; his will is the rule!"

"Indeed, the entire Universe is able to thrive because of his rule-intent, but! The world in the eyes of the supreme experts and the world in the eyes of the weak are fundamentally different; that is to say, their horizons are simply not on the same level!"

"When supreme experts formulate rules, they automatically overlook the thoughts of the weak. This has nothing to do with right or wrong; it is simply because they truly cannot comprehend what the weak actually need!"

"That supreme expert's idea is that as long as the Universe can produce experts who guard the rules and can fulfill his rules, that is enough!"

"As for the process... in his eyes, it is completely irrelevant, and there is no need to care about it!"

"I was the same in the past; I only thought about keeping the life planets under my jurisdiction running normally, and never considered everything sacrificed in the process of executing these things, which is why An Ran was born later—"

"Our horizons dictate that we, as superiors, will never consider the thoughts of the weak in the process of achieving this goal!"

"An Ran carried out my orders, but because she was too kind, she witnessed the sacrifices made in the process of achieving the goal, which is why she became tainted by the power of despair and transformed into that form!"

"And An Ran destroying all living beings in the Universe to return everything to nothingness, as well as you stopping An Ran from becoming the ruler of the Universe... to the Will of the Heavenly Dao, these are actually irrelevant!"

"Because what the Will of the Heavenly Dao wants is someone to fulfill the rules; what the Universe becomes is completely indifferent to him!"

"As long as the result is achieved, everything that happens in the process has no meaning!"

"Alke, he actually knew this as well, which is why he wanted to rebuild the glorious kingdom of the past and wanted to start over—it's just that his methods were too extreme!"

As Chen Yu's voice faded, the space fell into silence.

Chen Yi stood there, and the scattered, chaotic, and contradictory clues in his mind finally pieced together into a complete picture at this moment!

He understood, he understood completely!

All the irrationalities were now cleared up!

In fact, this was exactly the same as the relationship between a company boss and an employee!

The Will of the Heavenly Dao is the boss, and his purpose is to make money, not to provide a better life for the employees, so he will never consider the difficulties employees face during the work process; he only looks at the results!

And employees can never earn as much money as the boss, so they just think about how to make things easier for themselves; as long as they complete the tasks at hand, how the company develops is actually none of their business!

The difference in horizons and status dictates that the thoughts between the two can never be the same!

No wonder the Will of the Heavenly Dao could be mobilized by An Ran, yet still told Chen Yi how to deal with An Ran—so that was it!

Before, when An Ran was clearly about to accept it, she suddenly turned into a Fallen Angel; it was actually because the Will of the Heavenly Dao was interfering!

For a boss, if two competing employees can engage in internal strife, it is naturally better for the company!

After all, being able to gain more labor without having to pay any price—isn't that wonderful?

Later, when the Fallen Angel An Ran regained her sanity, it was actually because the Hexagram Seal, combined with the eternal crystal, temporarily sealed the power of the rules, causing the Will of the Heavenly Dao to be unable to intervene for a short time—

Plus, with Chen Yu appearing, that was why she could be persuaded so easily!

The pure white An Ran at the very beginning was her true self!

Although she was stubborn at first, she was actually willing to listen to others!

And the Fallen Angel An Ran was the Incarnation of pure obsession, just like Alke!

So, after all that, everything was just internal fighting?

Suddenly, a thought popped into Chen Yi's mind: could the last Ultimate Enhancement Card be something Chen Yu left for Chen Yi to use against the Will of the Heavenly Dao?

"Wait, if the Will of the Heavenly Dao wants us to fight internally, then isn't An Ran now going to—"

"She won't turn back into a Fallen Angel after a while, will she?"

"Damn, that won't do! I have to find her!"
