If I want everyone to be like a dragon, I must first become eternal!

Just as Ji Lingxue fell into endless despair, a soft chuckle came from the figure that had remained steadfast.

“Alright, it seems this Emperor doesn’t like listening to these illusory grand principles; he prefers something more tangible.”

“Since that’s the case, then we’ll just have to solve Xuanhuan problems with Xuanhuan concepts.”

Thinking this, Lin Mo calmly spoke: “Senior is absolutely right. The human heart is unfathomable, and mere ideals are indeed nothing but illusions.”

He frankly admitted the Emperor’s Phantom’s viewpoint.

These words completely chilled Ji Lingxue’s already despairing heart.

Even he… gave up?

But the next instant, Lin Mo’s tone suddenly shifted, his steady voice becoming powerful and resonant, echoing through the vast Star River Plaza!

“But what I just said, ‘everyone a Dragon,’ is merely the Dao for me to build an Eternal Dynasty! It is the ultimate vision!”

This sudden turn of events startled both Ji Lingxue and Liu Fang.

They looked up, their expressions shifting from despair to shock, and then from shock, a glimmer of almost unbelievable hope ignited within them.

Lin Mo didn’t give them much time to think. He looked directly at the blurry Emperor’s Phantom, his eyes blazing with unprecedented brilliance.

“The practice of any Dao requires Law to escort it!”

“In Senior’s view, this Dao is flawed, and that is because Junior has not yet spoken of the Law to achieve this Dao!”

There’s still a trump card?!

In Ji Lingxue’s dim beautiful eyes, light instantly rekindled. She held her breath, staring intently at Lin Mo, afraid of missing a single word.

Lin Mo’s tone was no longer calm, but filled with unparalleled confidence and dominance, resounding throughout the entire plaza.

“And my Law is even simpler!”

He spoke each word distinctly, every syllable like a declaration of some eternal, supreme truth.

“It is—”

“If I, the Emperor, am eternal!”

“Then the Dynasty shall be eternal!”

Boom!!!

These eight words seemed to contain some supreme power, crashing violently into Ji Lingxue’s mind, leaving her in a temporary blank state.

An indescribable imperial dominance surged towards her, making her heart tremble, almost suffocating her on the spot!

“If I am eternal, my will can run through everything and lead all people!”

“If I am invincible, I can suppress all selfish desires and clear all obstacles!”

Lin Mo’s voice grew even more impassioned, filled with the resolute and decisive will of iron and blood.

“The selfish desires, inertia, jealousy, and suspicion that Senior worries about are utterly insignificant in the face of absolute power!”

“Those who are content to be snakes and rats, or even hinder others from becoming Dragons, under my Law, have only two choices!”

“Either, conform to the general trend and transform into a Dragon!”

“Or, turn into dust!”

These words completely shattered all the Emperor’s Phantom’s previous doubts with a stronger, more unreasonable logic!

This was his answer!

To implement the most ideal Dao with the most powerful strength!

To achieve the grand vision of everyone a Dragon!

Upon these words, the entire Star River Plaza fell into an unprecedented, prolonged silence.

The blurry Emperor’s Phantom, the starlight flowing around it, showed intense fluctuations, revealing its extremely turbulent inner state.

After an unknown amount of time.

A hearty, exclamatory, and infinitely appreciative burst of laughter boomed across this Star River!

“Good! Good! What a ‘If I, the Emperor, am eternal, then the Dynasty shall be eternal’!”

“What a domineering and self-centered imperial Dao, where one governs the nation with their own body and paves the way for all people with power!”

“Hahahaha! This is the heart an Emperor should possess! This is the courage to declare eternity!”

The Emperor’s Phantom’s laughter echoed endlessly, sweeping away the previous oppressive and heavy atmosphere.

Hearing this incredibly clear praise and wild laughter, Ji Lingxue and Liu Fang’s hearts, which had been in their throats, finally dropped heavily!

It’s settled!

Fellow Daoist Lin’s answer not only passed but also received such high praise from this ancient Emperor!

Now, surely the trial can be completely passed, right?

However, the laughter abruptly ceased.

The Emperor’s Phantom’s tone suddenly became incomparably sharp, once again enveloping the entire plaza with the supreme majesty of scrutiny and testing.

“Anyone can speak wild words!”

“Since you have spoken of such a domineering Law, then let this Emperor see if your strength can match your wild words!”

Hmm?

Lin Mo’s heart sank.

What the hell, can’t play fair, huh?

Can’t win the debate, so you just flip the table?

You, an Emperor with thick eyebrows and big eyes, why are you playing such face-changing tricks?

Without giving Lin Mo any time to react.

As soon as the words fell, a terrifying pressure, far exceeding the Nascent Soul and capable of changing the color of heaven and earth, erupted!

The pressure was so strong that Ji Lingxue and Liu Fang instantly collapsed to the ground, unable to even conjure a thought of resistance.

Spirit Transformation Realm!

The Aura of this Emperor’s Phantom had instantly soared to the Spirit Transformation Realm!

He slowly raised his hand.

In an instant, the vast Star River above the entire plaza began to surge wildly, and endless starlight gathered, forming a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky!

Upon that giant hand, stars revolved, the Law of power intertwined, carrying a destructive Aura capable of shattering mountains and rivers and annihilating all things, pressing down on the tiny Lin Mo from above!
