217: Enter the game with your own body and plot for the world

Watching the scenes unfold before him, Jiang Lin's mind raced.

Suddenly, a layer of ice in his mind shattered!

So that's how it is!

Just then, the Snake Lord opposite him sneered, "A Void Refining Peak fellow who hasn't even reached Body Integration yet, trying to scheme against the world?"

"Are you too naive?"

"This is a Cultivation world where strength reigns supreme!"

"Without strength, everything is an illusion!"

"If you release me, I'll help you escape, how about it?"

Jiang Lin shook his head, his eyes having recovered their rationality, and he chuckled, "This is not a desperate situation, so why would I need you?"

"Strength?"

"You were so powerful, once peerless in the world, yet didn't you still die?"

The Snake Lord raged, "That was because of the Great Dao Chaos!"

"We, who were born in this plane, no matter how we Cultivate, cannot surpass the Great Dao!"

"Therefore, facing the tribulation of the Great Dao, we were utterly helpless!"

"We could only take the only path left by the Great Dao: gather three souls, reconstruct our Physical Body, and then revive!"

"For me to retain eighty percent of my past life's strength is already incredibly difficult!"

"You want eternal immortality? That's simply impossible!"

"Even the Heavenly Dao, derived from the Great Dao, is constantly strengthening itself, constantly approaching the Great Dao. Why?"

"That's because if the Great Dao deems the Heavenly Dao useless, it will optimize it!"

"You and I were born under the Great Dao, and we cannot resist the Great Dao's balancing force!"

Jiang Lin shook his head, chuckling softly, "Just a fellow deluded by the Heavenly Dao, I won't explain anything to you."

"I think I know what happened!"

"You're right, we are born between heaven and earth, and my Physical Body, not yet having achieved Immortal Ascension, will still be limited by heaven and earth!"

"The Heavenly Dao knew early on that I would Breakthrough Xuanyuan's restraints and become a true Cultivator, so in the last Law Dao punishment, it left a trick, secretly sealing my wisdom!"

"From the moment I entered Cloud Marsh, I have been like a Puppet, numbly proceeding according to my initial plan!"

"I even consciously ignored the existence of Ye Duanjiang, Jiang Yu, and Nangong Lengyu!"

"If it were before, the moment I saw them, I would have thought of the Nether River Old Ancestor and the Soul Emperor!"

"If I'm not mistaken now, Nangong Lengyu has also inherited the Karma Golden Lotus and is secretly ready to suppress my Formless Evil Fan at any time!"

"Before the Heavenly Dao fell into slumber, I obtained the Karma Fire Red Lotus Seed, so it activated the Nether River Old Ancestor in advance to counter my Karma Fire Red Lotus!"

"I obtained the Formless Evil Fan, and it activated the Karma Golden Lotus!"

"Being in Cloud Marsh, only Soul Dao methods could be used. It allowed Ye Duanjiang to obtain the Soul Emperor Legacy, but when his strength proved problematic, it directly gave him an Immortal Lord strength experience card!"

"Fearing I wouldn't take the bait, it even designed bait like you and deliberately guided the World Tree to fight you!"

"From the looks of it, the Heavenly Dao didn't directly fall into slumber but entered the Land of Fate to slumber, intending to explore the future through it!"

"It seems it knows that I have already understood the future's direction!"

"To create this death trap, it truly went to great lengths!"

Upon hearing these words, the Snake Lord's eyes were filled with shock!

"You actually know the future's direction?"

"How about you and I join forces to break through fate?"

"I guarantee to help you quickly achieve Immortal Ascension, and then we'll rule the world together!"

Jiang Lin shook his head, chuckling softly, "To be honest, in this game, I originally just wanted to see the methods left behind by the Heavenly Dao!"

"And how much power it would have after falling into slumber!"

"Cloud Marsh is merely a Dao Outline, not even a Dao Rule yet!"

"Now it seems the Heavenly Dao is nothing special!"

"It can only rely on the situation from before its slumber to influence my plans..."

"This time, all of its Middle Stage trump cards have been exposed!"

"Next time I go to the Void Realm, will it also pull out its Late Stage trump cards?"

"It has run out of tricks!"

The Snake Lord sneered, "What if you know all this?"

"You are currently in a desperate situation; with your meager strength?"

Jiang Lin looked up and laughed heartily, "Snake Lord, oh Snake Lord, haven't you noticed the problem yet?"

"I've been chatting with you for so long, why haven't they made a move yet?"

The Snake Lord suddenly turned his head, looking around.

A bizarre scene appeared!

Besides Jiang Lin and himself, the outside world had completely stopped!

"This is the Law of Time!?"

"You control the Law of Time?"

"No, this is a fragment of the kunlun mirror!"

"However, your fragment can only stop time!"

"It's not the true kunlun mirror, which can directly reverse time!"

Jiang Lin smiled, "The Snake Lord truly wishes I had the complete kunlun mirror, doesn't he!"

"So you could use the kunlun mirror to return a million years ago!"

The Snake Lord snorted, "So what?"

Jiang Lin shook his head, "Snake Lord, what you revived is merely your memories and a portion of your strength!"

"This path left by the Great Dao is fundamentally a wrong path!"

"I don't believe the Snake Lord from a million years ago would be as dull as you are now!"

"Or perhaps you've already laid out arrangements elsewhere, but right now, I just want to know how much strength you've recovered?"

"If the stakes are right, I will naturally release you!"

"Remember, I know more than you imagine!"

"Annihilating you or giving you a way out are both your own choices!"

"Don't think of using my current predicament to threaten me!"

"That Immortal Lord strength fellow, I could have killed him directly, but I kept him to lure the Heavenly Dao!"

"The Nether River Old Ancestor was meant to be drawn out anyway. Haven't you noticed that my Red Lotus has already gone into the Nether River? By the time he reacts, the Nether River will already be in my hands!"

A hint of panic appeared in the Snake Lord's eyes: "What about the Great Dao Chaos and the Twelve Supreme Seats below?"

Jiang Lin smiled, "If you disappear, the Great Dao Chaos will naturally disappear, and of course, the completely annihilated Dao Outline!"

"The Twelve Supreme Seats?"

"This is Cloud Marsh, Cloud Marsh where Soul Dao methods reign supreme!"

"I devoured your Snake Dao Law. With my Blood Venerable Evil Soul, escaping is absolutely no problem."

"As for why I'm asking you how much strength you've recovered right now, I'm considering whether a powerful subordinate is more worthwhile, or the Snake Dao Law!"

The Snake Lord trembled, a hint of fear showing in his eyes.

"Your wisdom, it has recovered?"

Jiang Lin's lips curled into a cold, mocking smile, "I dared to accept that divine punishment without resistance; I had already prepared everything!"

"Everything happening now is just me testing the Heavenly Dao!"

"The real game has just begun!"

The Snake Lord sensed something and suddenly exclaimed in shock, "You... you, you actually used the people around you to forcibly change your thread of fate!"

"What a terrifying method!"

"That person, with my methods, I can't even see them!"

"Are you someone who died and was Reborn to change fate?"

"That person only exists in the past or the future?"
