298: Dog of Heaven

Shen Wuya's gaze was like a torch, fixed on West Moon, his voice low but filled with an undeniable conviction:

"West Moon, though you and I have never interacted, today I tell you plainly, you and I are inherently on the same side."

He slowly raised his hand, pointing to Ling Tian, and even to Emperor Qin who was fiercely battling a Nascent Soul Ancestor in the distance:

"Look at them... which one isn't being played by the Heavenly Dao? Their previous lives were wiped out, and they were forcibly resurrected in this civilization..."

"We are all pawns on the Heavenly Dao's chessboard, test subjects it uses for experimentation!"

His eyes burned, and his voice suddenly rose:

"Precisely because of this, we should unite even more! Only by gathering all the power of the old civilizations can we hope to glimpse the true form of the Heavenly Dao, and only then can we find its weakness!"

Shen Wuya took a step forward, his tone earnest:

"West Moon, why don't you and I join forces and give it a try!"

But before he could finish speaking—

West Moon suddenly burst into laughter, her laughter eerie and arrogant, shaking the Blood Moon and even silencing the distant battlefield!

"Hahahaha!!"

She laughed, swaying like a flower branch, her jade hand lightly caressing the corner of her lips, her eyes, however, filled with sarcasm and pity:

"Shen Wuya, you actually utter such wild words?! Do you truly believe that with just a few of you, you can resist the Heavenly Dao?!"

She slowly stood up, her blood-red dress unfurling like a blooming blood lotus, Demonic Qi soaring around her:

"The entire world, from mountains and rivers to stars and sun and moon, from Mortals to Ascended Immortals and Divine Beings—"

"It was all created by the Heavenly Dao! It is not a god, not an immortal, it is the rules, the order, the source of time and space!"

West Moon slowly closed her eyes, her voice even trembling slightly:

"To fight the Heavenly Dao? That's not resistance, that's—seeking one's own destruction!"

In her previous life, West Moon had seen the true Heavenly Dao and knew how terrifyingly powerful it was!

Therefore, West Moon decided to help.

She knew that Emperor Qin, Ling Tian, Shen Wuya, and other remnants of the former civilization, their true purpose in forming an Alliance was to confront the Heavenly Dao.

And West Moon deliberately sabotaged them, actually wanting to show her loyalty, to let the Heavenly Dao see that she had already sided with it, hoping that at that time the Heavenly Dao would spare her life!!

West Moon was not afraid of death in her previous life, but in this life, she was particularly afraid of death!!

In the Hehuan Sect, she lived a divine life every day, surrounded by countless beauties every day, how could she bear to die!!

Shen Wuya said proudly: "Who said the Heavenly Dao cannot be defeated!! I once designed to trap the Heavenly Dao in a Mortal body, and almost killed the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao is not as mysterious and great as you imagine. He is just an ordinary person who happened to obtain something called a System. You might not understand what a System is, but it's probably a supreme Spirit Treasure that can control and create worlds. Do you understand now?"

As soon as these words came out.

West Moon was actually a little swayed: "What did you say, you almost killed the Heavenly Dao once? Haha, don't joke, I have witnessed the true power of the Heavenly Dao, how could you possibly do that?"

Shen Wuya's gaze was firm: "Nothing is impossible in this world, everything is possible. I once fused with the Primordial Spirit of the previous Heavenly Dao and learned many secrets and weaknesses about the Heavenly Dao. According to the characteristics of past civilizations, anything that resisted the Heavenly Dao would have been obliterated by the Heavenly Dao long ago. Yet, this time the Heavenly Dao has not reacted at all, which means that in this world, the Heavenly Dao is not monitoring; there is only one possibility, if I'm not mistaken, just as Cultivators must undergo Heavenly Tribulation, the Heavenly Dao also has to undergo special trials. The Heavenly Dao might be somewhere in this world, incarnated as an ordinary person! And as long as we find him and kill him, the Heavenly Dao will no longer be able to control us."

As soon as these words came out.

Ling Tian, as well as Emperor Qin on the Taixu Sect mountain peak, and West Moon, were all shocked.

They never expected that Shen Wuya knew so many secrets about the Heavenly Dao!!

Emperor Qin laughed: "Shen Wuya, I think you are absolutely right. No wonder the Heavenly Dao hasn't punished me for cursing it every day for the past five hundred years, haha. Now all the mysteries are finally solved, which means the Heavenly Dao is indeed not monitoring us, he should have lost all his Heavenly Dao abilities, and it's even more possible that he has also become a Mortal!!"

Ling Tian's eyes shone brightly: "Then this is our best chance to slay a god. As long as we find out who the Reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao is, we can kill him, haha!!"

West Moon was somewhat swayed. Listening to them, this indeed seemed like the best time to deal with the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao had caused her family to be ruined and her to be neither male nor female now; she naturally hated the Heavenly Dao deep down.

However, as West Moon thought back to her previous life, when she was the Chosen One, having fused with the three great Chosen abilities and reached the God-Man Realm, even then, before the Heavenly Dao, she couldn't withstand a single finger from it. That feeling of powerlessness and fear had deeply ingrained itself into West Moon's Soul.

She no longer dared to harbor any thought of resistance.

In fact, as the former Chosen One, West Moon had a secret she hadn't told.

In this life, she still carried the Chosen Soul Mark, and she could sense that the Heavenly Dao existed on this Tianqi Continent!!

Others might be able to kill the Heavenly Dao, but she couldn't. As the former Chosen One, the Heavenly Dao could kill her with a single thought!! They had signed a special Soul contract!!

West Moon knew it was time to show her loyalty and laughed wildly: "Haha, you rebels of the former civilization, with me, West Moon, here, I will not let you do as you please. I, West Moon, hereby swear that if you want to kill the Heavenly Dao, you must first pass through me!!"

What?!

Shen Wuya, Ling Tian, Emperor Qin, and the others were incredulous, how could West Moon willingly become a running dog of the Heavenly Dao??

Shen Wuya understood: "So that's it, West Moon, you're deliberately using us to show your loyalty!! You must be hiding something. What kind of civilization was the sixth civilization that could make you so submissive, so afraid to resist!!"

Ling Tian's eyes were bloodshot, his spiritual energy boiling, staring intently at West Moon beneath the blood moon, his voice like a knife, filled with endless killing intent and disdain:

"Shen Wuya, stop wasting words with this running dog of the Heavenly Dao!"

He gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, his voice low and urgent:

"Help me kill Liu Lanyan, let me absorb her Phoenix True Body, and gather the power of the Four Symbols: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird!"

"Once I enter the 'Four Symbols Fusion' realm, I can break through the boundaries and transcend. Then I will join forces with you to tear this running dog West Moon into ten thousand pieces!!"

Shen Wuya said no more, his right hand suddenly rising—

The bamboo flute lightly swayed, and a vibrant green bamboo leaf once again condensed at his fingertips, spiritual energy compressed to the extreme, as if even space itself was twisted by the pressure!

"This time—"

"No one can save you!"

The bamboo leaf shot out, faster than before, with even greater Aura!

It cut through the sky, burning the air in its path, tearing fine cracks in space, heading straight for Liu Lanyan's heart!

"Don't bully my beauty—"

West Moon's voice rang out again, eerie and resolute!

She waved her jade hand, her blood-red dress fluttering, the cinnabar mole between her brows suddenly lit up, and a blood-red moon wheel appeared behind her!

"Hehuan Sect—Blood Moon Heart Protection Spell!"

The Blood Moon rotated, releasing countless strands of red light like threads of affection, weaving into a net that blocked Liu Lanyan's path!

The bamboo leaf struck the blood net, emitting a "hissing" corrosive sound, actually being forcefully blocked outside, unable to advance an inch!

"Hmm?!"

Shen Wuya frowned, a hint of solemnity appearing in his eyes for the first time.

He had not expected West Moon to be so strong!
