Rewrite My Fate to Become the Daoist Ancestor

["For those who journey to the Divine Land and the Nineteen Continents, the road is long and the hope of returning home is distant. Among them, many will fall prey to demons and ghosts along the way, some will die young and be buried by the roadside, while others will gaze at the moon and grow old in foreign lands."]

["Among them are people who could have taught and founded sects, written and preached... Has our sacrifice not been enough?"]

[The Cyan Mountain Saints revealed the reason for their failure: "And yet in a mere hundred years, they can ruin our millennia-long achievements. This area is vast, with countless living beings, yet those who can resolutely inherit our will are few and far between."]

[The Cyan Mountain Saints present fell silent.]

[This is the crux of the problem. They cannot guarantee that every place, every generation, will produce successors who are so steadfast. The foundations laid by our predecessors can be destroyed in ten years by the downfall of successors.]

[And the next "successor" must spend a lifetime to establish the "Qingtian Law." Teaching is not the work of a single generation or person, but the tireless effort of thousands over thousands of generations.]

[The hardest law in the world is firstly the law that created the heavens and earth, and secondly the law of continuing and pioneering—"successors" who open the way to the "future."]

[Such people, near to saints, are exceedingly rare, and not just one or two successors can maintain the "Qingtian Law"; thousands upon thousands of successors are needed, endlessly.]

[Zhao Qingzhou was stunned for a moment. Not to mention the Divine Land and Nineteen Continents, even the islands further from the East Sea Purple Sky Island and White Cloud Hall have sentient beings coming from thousands of miles away to lodge complaints with the Cyan Cloud Sword Leader, the "Cyan Heaven."]

[These are but a portion; in places even further, they cannot spare the manpower... In the Four Regions of Mount Sumeru, mortals are belligerent and willing to kill, voluntarily worshiping Buddha, ignoring the "Qingtian Law."]

[But every time the Cyan Cloud Peak Sword Carrier takes action, they must "announce to the Cyan Heaven" before they can strike the "Qi Cultivators and Demon Fiends," and they must not interfere with mortals.]

[Climbing one mountain reveals another, guarding one mountain finds another behind, just as "demons and ghosts" can never be completely eradicated.]

[Not all present Cyan Mountain Saints are versed in military strategy; matters of victory and defeat are left to the Pillar of Heaven and Earth, Zhao Qingzhou. They have absolute confidence in the "Martial Dao Divine People"; they care about the future beyond the battles.]

[This is also the reason Zhao Qingzhou called out to them at the "White Cloud Hall."]

[But after much discussion, it was clear that there was no better solution. Cultivating a generation requires an environment, as well as the courage to venture out. Their "successors" are limited, and they can only strive to teach one area without any impatience, fearing they might cause great misfortune.]

[An elderly-looking Cyan Mountain Saint sighed: "It’s a pity. If there were a Celestial Sword hanging in the sky, people knowing ’man acts, heaven watches, good and evil will be recompensed,’ perhaps they would act with more restraint."]

["Rely on people, it’s better to rely on oneself! The Cyan Cloud Sword Leader is paving the way, and has done enough!"]

[Upon hearing this, a young Cyan Mountain Saint snorted coldly: "Because the Cyan Cloud Sword Leader knows that if there are no successors for the Cyan Heaven, by the end of the Cyan Heaven Law, it would just become another evil dragon harming the world!"]

["Once, our goal was firm because the enemy was right before us. We could see his name, clearly point out his faults, so it was easy for us to unite and overthrow the enemy, but to overthrow ourselves is hard."]

["But we absolutely cannot become his claws!"]

[Inside the White Cloud Hall, the Cyan Mountain Saints recalled the darkest years of the Mountain and River Realm, confidently walking the correct path, firmly believing that the Cyan Heaven would have "successors."]

["If there comes a day when Cyan Heaven is gone, White Cloud Hall collapses, countless inheritances turn to dust, and the enemy comes to annihilate us, there will still be successors who find the path, who walk the roads we once trod, and engage with us."]

["As long as someone remembers us, our deeds will never fade."]

["We are only one last step away from that world. But our enemy is not Daqian, not Qi Cultivators, not the myriad Immortals and Buddhas; it is ourselves!"]

["In the world, black, white, and gray exist, but there is only one streak of cyan."]

...

[East Sea.]

[Ships as large as land masses slowly sail on the sea.]

[The self-proclaimed "Emperor" Daqian Human Emperor sat on the resplendent and majestic throne, his expression indifferent and forbidding. On the passing islands, if the common people failed to bow upon seeing the king, they were openly disrespecting royal law; he would mercilessly order Daqian soldiers to annihilate these rebellious individuals.]

[Thus, some trembled on their knees, pleading to this "Daqian Human Emperor"; others refused to yield, meeting a tragic end under merciless blades. Blood dyed the vast sea a ghastly crimson, and countless corpses piled into mountains, creating a road leading to death.]

[The Daqian Human Emperor easily crushed Qin Country’s army consecutively, feeling a disdainful thought arise, thinking that Qin Country within these Four Seas was nothing noteworthy.]

[However, he was completely unaware that under the sea, fierce sea beasts were sacrificing their lives, desperately piercing the hulls of Qin Country’s ships, while on land, a sudden mountain blocked the army’s route.]

[The Daqian Human Emperor dismissed this, treating it as a symbol of his "Celestial Mandate," firmly believing all opposition would face "Celestial Intent." On his conquest of the Divine Land and Nineteen Continents, various Dukes came to ally themselves, paths were opened through mountains, bridges spanned waters, as though aided by divine power.]
