568: Chapter 568 Heaven Has Its Own Favors

"I want you to join me in defying the heavens!"

Upon hearing these words, Qin Wushang's expression changed abruptly.

Defying the heavens? That naturally meant defying the Heavenly Dao.

"Senior!"

He retreated sharply, avoiding the woman's cherry lips.

"This defiance of the heavens... seems to have little to do with the Luck of the Dao!"

Taking handouts leaves one indebted, and eating others' food makes one soft-spoken.

He didn't want to accept such favors for no reason.

"Bang!" His aura surged, pushing the woman away, and the frantically jumping destiny value suddenly stopped!

The number stayed at 178900.

"What? Are you afraid?"

The woman wasn't annoyed; she just looked at him calmly, revealing a faint smile.

"This action was merely to tell you... little one, destiny value are not necessarily a good thing."

Qin Wushang frowned, remaining silent.

destiny value are not a good thing?

Then why does the Emperors Path use them to measure the success or failure of a Prodigy?

Or could it be that this so-called destiny value System was another trap set by the Heavenly Dao from the very beginning?

"One must possess enough destiny value to approach the heavenly mandate stone; it is the key to Fusion with the heavenly mandate stone."

Qin Wushang stood up and shouted: "How is this not a good thing? What the world seeks is nothing more than a heavenly mandate. Senior's words are truly a joke."

He wanted to see if he could pry some information out of this woman.

"Is what the world seeks always good?" The woman sneered.

"The world also seeks immortality, but have you seen anyone achieve it?"

"The world also seeks wealth, but have you seen anyone become wealthy just by seeking it?"

"The world even seeks a good wife—look at those few by your side, which one was obtained just by seeking?"

Qin Wushang: "..." He was silent for a moment.

This rebuttal felt like she was just spouting nonsense.

Could this woman know what he was thinking and be teasing him?

"...Senior's words make sense, but that is a different matter from destiny value not being a good thing."

"A different matter?" The woman scoffed.

"Not pretending anymore?"

Her beautiful eyes stared into Qin Wushang's eyes, full of disdain.

"Senior! I just want to know, the Emperors Path is a path of trials for all living beings, so why is it not necessarily a good thing? Could Senior enlighten me?"

Qin Wushang bowed respectfully.

As long as they could talk properly, things would be easier!

"destiny value are bait from the Heavenly Dao. The more you enjoy eating the bait, the deeper the hook is embedded."

"You think you are eating the bait, but in reality, the bait is eating you."

"The world is a chessboard of the Heavenly Dao, and all living beings are mere pawns."

"It can discard anyone it wants."

Qin Wushang followed her line of questioning.

"If it wants someone to die, they must die? It's not impartial and selfless?"

"Otherwise?" The woman looked at him, a trace of pity appearing in her eyes.

"You think you have reached this point today because of your own ability? No, it is because the Heavenly Dao has not yet decided it is your time to die."

"You are still useful to it."

Qin Wushang fell silent.

He believed this, but he couldn't show it.

He had long suspected the System.

After all, obtaining such a Heaven-Defying item so easily—the price... there must be one!

He raised his head and looked straight at the woman: "But isn't Senior also a living being in this world? Senior says the Heavenly Dao controls all living beings, so where can Senior hide?"

The woman did not answer.

She just looked at him, the smile on her lips gradually fading, like a lamp blown out by the wind.

Qin Wushang knew he had hit the nail on the head.

"So... those who resist it either die or become a dog."

Her voice lowered, carrying a hatred that had been suppressed for endless years.

"For example, me."

She raised her head and laughed loudly. The laughter grew louder and more shrill, echoing through the Pure Land.

Flower petals were shattered by the laughter, and the immortal mist surged like boiling water.

As she laughed, her voice gradually became filled with only sorrow.

"Hehehe... Hahahaha..."

A terrifying aura of resentment was released from her, overwhelming and suffocating Qin Wushang. It wasn't killing intent; it was despair.

It was the despair accumulated over countless years, with nowhere to vent, rotting in her bones.

"My entire race became dogs, imprisoned forever, becoming objects of its humiliation."

As she spoke, she clenched her fist and grabbed fiercely. The entire Pure Land shook, and then!

"Boom!" The sky exploded, shattering like glass into countless fragments!

"The Great Dao is impartial and naturally has no private biases. Yet, human hearts are stained with desire, and the Heavenly Dao has also developed selfish thoughts."

She lowered her head, looking at her reflection in the water of the Immortal Pool.

"It is no longer the lofty Heavenly Dao."

Then, she raised her head and looked directly at Qin Wushang, the resentment in her eyes still lingering, her dark hair becoming somewhat disheveled.

"Why shouldn't we defy it?"

Facing such a question, Qin Wushang frowned tightly.

The Heavenly Dao has developed selfish thoughts.

Heavenly Beasts have become dogs of the Heavenly Dao!

The information contained in these words was truly massive!

Could this be the reason why hunting Heavenly Beasts grants destiny value?

The woman stood up straight, water droplets sliding off her shoulders, but she was completely unaware.

Her gaze drifted into the distance, as if passing through Heavenly Beast Island, passing through the Emperors Path, spanning across the ancient ages, seeing an era that could no longer be returned to.

"I was also a powerhouse who swept across the Emperors Path."

Her voice carried pride, but also disgust.

"In my era, how many living beings were qualified to face me?"

"I was the only one qualified to approach the heavenly mandate stone."

"Heh..." She sneered. "But what was the result? Living worse than a dog."

"Sometimes, dying in failure... is actually a relief."

She said this, then turned her head abruptly to look at Qin Wushang, her gaze like a blade.

"And if you continue on this path, there will be no good outcome."

"You will only end up like me... no... a person like you might end up even more miserable!"

"A long, long time ago, countless Human Race Great Emperors, those who thought of becoming an Eternal Immortal, their bones were all tempered upon the steps of the Great Dao."

Qin Wushang listened without speaking further.

The woman stopped talking about it as well. She suppressed the emotions in her heart, returning to the appearance she had before!

"You don't believe me?"

She stared with her Supreme Double Pupils, wanting to see disbelief within them. After all, this was what she had seen countless times!

However, this time, Qin Wushang's eyes did not contain what she wanted to see. Or rather, what she expected to appear did not appear.

"Why wouldn't I believe it?" Qin Wushang countered.

"The heavenly mandate stone is a medium for borrowing the Dao of the heavens; your words naturally have three parts of truth."

"And I also firmly believe that my own Dao is the true eternal one."

He wanted to be invincible, the kind that was invincible through and through! As long as someone was stronger than him, it wasn't true invincibility! And borrowing the Dao of the Heavenly Dao... it was destined to be impossible to surpass the Heavenly Dao!

"Indeed! You also know some inside information!"

"You are not simple!"

The woman showed a serious expression, looking at Qin Wushang with a different gaze.

"No matter what, in front of Senior, I am still just a speck, no different from an ant." Qin Wushang smiled flatteringly.

"Little one! Blindly submitting will only make the Heavenly Dao more unscrupulous!"

"You need to fight!"

"Fight against all living beings, and even more, fight against the heavens!"

The woman shouted, but it was just a shout.

Qin Wushang: "..."

"Senior! Don't you have any peerless immortal weapons, peerless Legacies, or some savior's baggage to give me?" He couldn't help but ask.

Waiting for half a day, this person just talks and doesn't spit out any treasures!

"None..." The woman shook her head and asked, "Why do you have such thoughts?"

"Uh... didn't Senior say we would defy the heavens together or something? As your ally, I am currently so weak... shouldn't Senior give me some treasures or something to let me grow rapidly?"

Qin Wushang spoke reasonably, but he was clear-headed in his heart. Anyway, since he was already here, it wouldn't hurt to ask. A powerhouse of this level, throwing out just anything would be useful to him.

"I've already given it to you!"

"Tens of thousands of destiny value can speed up your breakthrough." The woman responded.

Qin Wushang: "..."

"Little one, this seat is only inviting you, not requiring you. Don't push your Luck." The woman's tone was indifferent.

"How this world is has nothing to do with this seat. This seat only wants freedom, that is all. This is your era."

The words were very clear! This era belonged to him, Qin Wushang. Whether he fought or not didn't have much impact on her. On the contrary, it was he himself who would be most affected if he didn't fight.

"Then there is nothing more to say." Qin Wushang was too lazy to waste words.

"If Senior has nothing else, can you let me leave?"

With nothing to show, just standing there yapping, it was a complete waste of time.

"You really are sharp-eyed." The woman sneered with disdain.

She raised her hand and pointed to the sky, continuing:

"Once you leave this place, even if this seat invests in you, you won't be able to enjoy it."

Under the Heavenly Dao, there are few places that can evade the eyes of the Heavenly Dao. This place just happened to be one!

Talking about defying the heavens here is fine, but if you say it outside, you will die.

"Understood, can I leave now?"

"The Emperors Path has been open for more than ten years, I have already fallen behind a lot and must catch up." Qin Wushang said.

He was only at the first stage. Those Prodigies who stepped in when the Emperors Path opened, who knows which stage they have reached by now.

"Rest assured, they haven't run far; even if they are Heaven-Defying, they are only at the third stage at most." The woman stood up.

Water droplets slid off her shoulders, collarbone, and chest, following those breathtaking curves all the way down, gathering into a stream between her breasts, flowing slowly.

The water droplets slid over the peaks, refracting fine light in the morning sun, like morning dew hanging on ripe fruit. Plump, crystal clear, and precariously balanced.

Finally, they fell from her waist, splashing tiny ripples.

Her graceful body was displayed just like that; she truly did not care.

"What I can do is send you to the Boundary Ruins."

Before the words faded, the Void Realm twisted. Qin Wushang was about to speak, but he had already been sent away.

The woman rose slowly, water droplets sliding along her graceful body, flowing down from the deep ravine between her breasts, like a stream passing through a valley. Lingering and long, finally disappearing into that deep hinterland.

"Supreme Double Pupils... Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo... It is rumored that countless years ago, there was an existence who once struck the heavens with a blade... Are you his backup plan?"

"I wonder if the Blade Ancestor of back then... is still being kept in captivity."

"Forget it, let's first see how far this little one can go..."

The woman murmured, and as she raised her hand, a brilliant world emerged in her palm.

Inside the Small World, dense swarms of giant beasts were growing crazily!
