Am I the Chaos Dao Lord?

"Senior, you... you truly haven't heard of this name?"

Su Ming still found it hard to believe; the Chaos Dao Lord was clearly recognized as the strongest Cultivator by later generations.

Why was he unknown in this era?

"Are you questioning me?"

Old Man Tianji looked at Su Ming, his eyes revealing dissatisfaction.

"This Junior wouldn't dare. I'm just curious... why I remember this name, yet Senior does not know of it..."

"Since you care about this name so much, then just use it as your own name. Anyway, you don't have a name right now. Alright, Tian Yi, take this Chaos Dao Lord down."

Old Man Tianji waved his hand impatiently.

However, Su Ming was stunned on the spot by these words.

He... had become the Chaos Dao Lord?

While he was still dazed, Tian Yi stepped forward and patted Su Ming's shoulder.

"Chaos... Dao Lord? It's time to go. If you keep staying here, Master will get angry."

With Tian Yi's coaxing and prodding, Su Ming finally left with him.

But even so, he still couldn't recover from this fact.

How did he become the Chaos Dao Lord?

But if he was the Chaos Dao Lord, then who was the original Chaos Dao Lord?

And how could one explain the legacies the other had left in different worlds?

Seeing Su Ming's face full of worry, Tian Yi looked at him curiously.

"Are you still troubled by your past?"

"A little..."

"It's fine. Everyone has their fate. Perhaps at some point, you'll happen to encounter a key moment that allows you to recover your memory."

"fate? I don't believe in that. A person's fate is created by themselves; it has nothing to do with ethereal fate."

"No, I don't think so. When I was young, Master picked me up from the river and then passed on a cultivation method to me. I understood then that this was my fate..."

Outside the main hall, Su Ming and Tian Yi began to argue incessantly over the topic of fate.

Little did they know that everything they discussed fell into Old Man Tianji's ears.

"fate... Sigh..."

Scenes appeared in Old Man Tianji's eyes.

It was the sight of Su Ming and Tian Yi standing side by side.

From being complete strangers at the beginning, to becoming the shining geniuses of the Divine Calculation Sect, and finally to going their separate ways.

Old Man Tianji saw all of this clearly.

And he also saw an even more distant future.

A disaster belonging to the entire cultivation world, personally forged by the two strongest geniuses of the Divine Calculation Sect's future... After becoming a Disciple of the Divine Calculation Sect, Su Ming's external identity became the Chaos Dao Lord.

Although everyone in the Divine Calculation Sect felt this name was very strange, they did not show any rejection toward Su Ming.

Since he could be recognized by Old Man Tianji to become a Disciple of the Divine Calculation Sect, then Su Ming must have his own extraordinary qualities.

And the Disciples of the Divine Calculation Sect soon realized Su Ming's terrifyingly fast cultivation speed.

Having just arrived at the Divine Calculation Sect, Su Ming was only at the sixth layer of the Void Realm, and afterwards, he often soaked in the Scripture Pavilion with Tian Yi.

When the other Disciples saw Su Ming again half a year later, his cultivation base had already reached the Void Realm Peak.

On the other hand, Tian Yi, who had a very good relationship with Su Ming, saw no growth in his cultivation base.

A Senior Brother of the Divine Calculation Sect asked curiously, "Tian Yi, you and the Chaos Dao Lord stay in the Scripture Pavilion whenever you have nothing to do. Why is his cultivation speed so fast, while yours hasn't budged at all?"

"Senior Brother, you don't understand. I'm just following my fate. As long as I wait for my fate to arrive, my cultivation base will naturally increase."

The other fellow Disciples weren't very interested in Tian Yi's theory of fate.

Then, Tian Yi demonstrated a wave of what the power of fate was right in front of them.

He, who didn't Cultivate much, saw his cultivation base instantly rise to the same level as Su Ming's in front of all the fellow Disciples.

"Crossing five Realms in one breath?! How did you do it?"

The fellow Disciples looked at Tian Yi as if they had seen a ghost.

They knew clearly that Tian Yi did not have any Restrictions on his body to suppress his own strength; he had simply suddenly risen to the Void Realm Peak at this moment.

"It wasn't me who did this; it was fate that made me reach the Void Realm Peak at this point in time."

"If you all don't believe me, I can calculate your respective fates for you..."

"Oh? Then come and calculate what will happen to me next."

"Senior Brother Feng, next... you will die... and your death will be incredibly miserable..."

Facing the words Tian Yi spoke, Senior Brother Feng's expression immediately turned sour.

"Nonsense! I'm perfectly fine. How could I suddenly die unexpectedly, and with such a miserable death!"

"Furthermore, since you've seen it, can't you tell me a way to change it?"

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Feng, fate cannot be changed..."

"Bullshit! I've never heard of such a thing. When those outside Cultivators come to Master for fortune-telling, didn't Master also mention methods to avoid ill omens? Why doesn't it work with you?"

"Master actually has no way to avoid them; he just gives those people some psychological comfort..."

While the crowd was arguing incessantly, Su Ming was still soaking in the Divine Calculation Sect's Scripture Pavilion.

Due to Old Man Tianji's permission, he was able to read all the records and classics here.

"As expected of Old Man Tianji, who is said to know everything... The Cultivation Techniques recorded here are not at all inferior to the Chaos Scripture. It's a pity that I cannot continue to access the Chaos Dao Lord's Legacy right now, and cannot continue to study the Chaos Scripture. As for the Source Codex of Creation, I've forgotten it completely..."

"No matter. With so many classics in the Divine Calculation Sect, by combining my terrifying talent of the Innate Dao Bone with the foundation of the Chaos Scripture, perhaps I can also deduce the Source Codex of Creation in the future."

Although the Source Codex of Creation had been forgotten by Su Ming following the System's mysterious disappearance, he still remembered that there were many similarities between the Source Codex of Creation and the Chaos Scripture.

As long as he was given enough time, he would eventually be able to deduce the Source Codex of Creation again.

"However, there really are too many things in this Scripture Pavilion... it will be a hassle to organize them later..."

"I've got it! I'll just imitate the System and use this Divine Ability I just learned to craft a recorder."

Thinking of this, Su Ming hurriedly began to try.

Soon, a pure spiritual power creation specifically used by him to record Cultivation Techniques appeared in his hand.

"What should I call you... Forget it, I'll just call you 'System' for now."

"System, scan this Divine Ability in my hand, then extract the key information and show it to me."

"[Extracting information...]"

As the spiritual power creation attached itself to this Divine Ability, the text recorded on it was rapidly entered into it.

However, to Su Ming's surprise, the spiritual power creation he had just created collapsed before it could even finish copying the Divine Ability.

"What's going on... Is it because this Divine Ability is of the Immortal Realm? Is there such a Restriction?"

Su Ming re-collected the spiritual power remnants and began to develop the second-generation 'System'..."}],
