Rewrite My Fate to Become the Daoist Ancestor

Above Cliff Mountain.

Ning Xunqiu, who sat motionless with closed eyes, heard his daughter’s question and looked toward the distant five great auspicious beasts, his heart slightly startled:

"Yu’Er, because they truly are the auspicious signs of heaven and earth. Since the birth of the Cyan Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, White Tiger, and Xuanwu, this world has expanded more than tenfold."

"Tenfold?!" Ning Yu was abruptly astonished, "Then who is helping Daqian, Father you..."

Before she could finish speaking.

Ning Xunqiu suddenly opened his eyes.

An invisible, majestic power instantly spread out, the heavens and earth seeming to lose their original colors, everything turning dim at this moment, with only the lone peak of Cliff Mountain still standing proudly.

In this colorless, formless world, a tremendously majestic presence slowly rose, its massive eyes meeting the calm gaze of Ning Xunqiu from afar.

Ning Xunqiu was surprised: "Ying Long, have you attained Dao?"

Ying Long flapped its wings gently, moving close in front of Ning Xunqiu.

From the unknown came a dignified praising voice.

[Ying Long, one of the original innate divines of the world.]

[Creator of Human Race, Sea Race, Aquatic Race, Cloud Race... the Five Spirits of Heaven and Earth, Phoenix, Qilin, Cyan Dragon, White Tiger, Xuanwu. The Qilin is the leader of beasts, the Phoenix the leader of birds, Xuanwu the leader of shells, Cyan Dragon the leader of scales, occupying seventy percent of the Great Fortune of Heaven and Earth.]

[Ying Long, leader of all living beings, master of the laws of creation, holding one-third of the profound yellow merit of heaven and earth. Creator, transformer, destroyer, one who unifies the primordial, their Dao practice is immeasurable, an immortal divine attained through Dao, the ultimate life form "Creation Dragon."]

Ying Long continued:

"There’s no choice, although we are allies. Yet your attainment of Cyan Heaven is very unfriendly to the innate divines, and once you as Cyan Heaven attain Dao, you become equivalent to Cangtian, they cannot balance you."

"The Divine Land fears your existence greatly, and they gave far too much."

"Xuan Huang divides a three-part source, with which I created the ’Qilin’. The Saint of Dao and Virtue returned the portion of fortune that I deserved from creating the Human Race. The Dragon Race and Sea Race were also created by me, and with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Root sent by Tathagata Buddha, I created the ’White Tiger’."

"I gather the fortune of ten thousand races, hence being the leader of all living beings."

"And I obtained the flames of otherworldly divine, and with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Root transformed by fire fortune created the ’Phoenix’, partitioning one-tenth of my water fortune to create ’Xuanwu’. Heaven and Earth advanced further, constantly pioneering chaos, the world expanding unceasingly. The Divine Land, Nineteen Continents, and Four Seas now only account for thirty percent of Heaven and Earth’s Great Fortune."

Ning Xunqiu suddenly realized.

The Human Race Emperor Qian was merely a cover to divert attention, and the Daqian he established was making wedding clothes for Ying Long’s attainment.

To oppose him, the Cyan Heaven, at least one "Great Dao Divine" of equal power was needed to take his place.

That person would definitely not be the Human Race Emperor Qian, this great divine skill user who couldn’t even touch his own "Great Dao Spiritual Treasure" in the foreseeable future.

Previously, Ying Long had the obstruction of Divine Land’s Three Saints and the Ancestral Dragon with many divines.

At most, Ying Long could create a congenital spirit comparable to the Dragon Race, making Dao attainment a distant possibility. Now, reaching such heights in just ten thousand years, the threat of the otherworldly divine cannot be underestimated.

Ning Xunqiu was silent for a moment, then said: "Ying Long, you shouldn’t meddle in this matter. I don’t want to have to strike you down."

Ying Long was surprised, "You?"

"Cyan Heaven, the day you replace Cangtian, Humanity becomes the protagonist of heaven and earth, demons dissipate, divines retreat, and the universe clears. But eighty thousand years from Cyan Heaven, Heaven and Earth will be lifeless, with new divines from Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin rising to replace Humanity as the protagonist of heaven and earth, this is already destiny."

"Destiny?" Ning Xunqiu lightly said, "I said I would give all beings a chance, and I mean it. The matters of the future will be addressed in the future, but today, whoever comes must clear my hurdle."

Ying Long stared at Ning Xunqiu and continued:

"Humans are just one being among ten thousand, too insignificant compared to the vast Heaven and Earth."

"Your merit is perfect; you could attain Dao and leave at this moment, and I won’t stop you. As Cyan Heaven, your heart shouldn’t be so small..."

"Small?"

Ning Xunqiu smiled, with a Great Sun descending over him.

"No need for more words."

...

[You summoned the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map" to confront Creation Dragon·Ying Long, who resisted the Sword of Freedom with his physical body, calling forth storms and the Immortal Slaying Sword to grind against each other.]

[Ying Long abandoned his water fortune body for Dao attainment, with the magical power accumulated over endless years, without any flaws in himself.]

[You engaged in magical combat with Ying Long, without either side prevailing, watching Ying Long effortlessly dismantle your Immortal Slaying Sword Map, you suddenly summoned the "Sword of Chaos" to seal Ying Long.]

[In just three short days, Ying Long forcibly broke through the "Sword of Chaos" with Great Daoist Divine Techniques "Primordial World" to engage in combat with you once more.]

[Ying Long escaped the "Sword of Chaos," simultaneously battling you while praising: "Is this your trump card? Refining the consciousness of a world into a spiritual treasure, but unfortunately, the consciousness within is too vast and chaotic, not pure enough, only able to confine me temporarily."]

[Of course you are aware of Ying Long’s stated shortcomings, "Sword of Chaos" isn’t "Donghuang Taiyi," "Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor," or "Chaos Demon God," not yet attained Dao, it struggles against divines possessing "Great Dao Spiritual Treasures," unable to destroy divine primordial spirits.]

[Even for a divine’s Dao heart, getting lost in it is extremely challenging.]

[But normally, a "Great Dao Divine" cannot escape from "Sword of Chaos" without external help, yet Ying Long relied on his own divine techniques to forcibly break out.]

[Ying Long, having suffered once, wouldn’t rely on Great Daoist Divine Techniques to hard-shoulder your divine techniques.]

[Ying Long cannot subdue you, nor can you subdue Ying Long. In the Dao of destruction, Ying Long cannot surpass the Ancestral Dragon, unable to escape the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map."]

[But Ying Long is steady; he doesn’t take risks. By exhausting magical powers like this, with no one intervening, you could battle for a billion years.]

[Without deploying the Donghuang Bell or the Sword of Despair, you surprisingly cannot defeat Ying Long.]

"Did Ying Long attain such power just by attaining Dao?!"

Ning Xunqiu was incredulous.

In the Celestial Derivation Life Record, he was close to attaining Dao, almost reaching Cyan Heaven, and such an existence can’t defeat Ying Long?

Naturally, as he is now Cyan Heaven, Ying Long wouldn’t underestimate Cyan Heaven.

"Ying Long created the Five Spirits: Cyan Dragon, Phoenix, White Tiger, Xuanwu, and Qilin. Once they attain Dao, they become a force comparable to the Ancestral Dragon... No, for me, they are even more challenging than the Ancestral Dragon."

Ning Xunqiu furrowed his brows.

"A variable?"

He didn’t want to be exposed and face being besieged by Cangtian, Nether Heaven, Ancestral Dragon, and Ying Long all at once.

So... should he suppress the yet unattained Ying Long in advance?

He continued to look at the Celestial Derivation Life Record.

[You prepare to attain Dao and become Cyan Heaven, to suppress Ying Long.]

[Ying Long felt a tremor in his Heart Spirit, knowing you were serious, and quickly said, "Cyan Heaven, cease your actions. I’m not here to impede Dao. Since you are unwilling, why not listen to my suggestion?"]

[You considered it and agreed.]

[Ying Long straightforwardly stated, "We should unite."]

[You looked at Ying Long puzzled.]

[Ying Long extended a claw and pearls appeared in his hand. You took a closer look, and they turned out to be miniaturized worlds.]

[Ying Long gently pinched a pearl, showing off the world he created to you—a world filled entirely with oceans... Ying Long enthusiastically described to you the magnificent scene of newly born living beings.]

[Suddenly, Ying Long sighed, declaring that these worlds would all head towards "termination."]

[And the existence leading each world to its end was indeed his elder brother, the Ancestral Dragon. Ying Long had plans to, after dealing with Otherworldly Divine entities, partner with you to suppress the Ancestral Dragon!]

[You looked at Ying Long, astonished.]

[Ying Long continued speaking, saying he not only wanted to suppress the Ancestral Dragon but also other Divine entities.]

[You were shocked looking at Ying Long, suddenly realizing one point: as Cyan Heaven, you felt deep dissatisfaction with the Divine entities’ behavior of seizing fortune from all living beings. As the Creation Dragon, Ying Long must possess a heart that embraces all things!]

[Ying Long can accept the natural law of "wolf eats sheep," but refuses to accept "after being full," senseless slaughter merely for play, similar to what the Divine Land and Ancestral Dragon represent.]

[Ying Long is not belligerent; in fact, what he does actually goes against the majority of Innate Divine within the Qingxu Realm. He needs allies. And you, a Cyan Heaven unswayed by decline, are the perfect ally.]

[You and Ying Long easily agreed, beginning to strategize on suppressing several Great Dao Divine entities.]

[At the top of the suppression list—Ancestral Dragon!!]

[Following are Venerable of Dao and Virtue, Tathagata Buddha, Saint Taixuan, Profound Yellow Heaven, Blue Radiance Heaven, Ten Thousand Treasures Heaven, Xuanling Heaven.]

[You and Ying Long are of like mind, becoming friends, holding Dao discussions on Cliff Mountain.]

[You know that the existence of White Cloud Hall’s three thousand sages in Qin Country can only maintain "the immortality of Cyan Heaven." You consult Ying Long on how to resolve the state after eighty thousand years where Cyan Heaven stagnates, gradually decays, and sees no successors.]

[Ying Long doesn’t understand your persistence.]

[You explain to him "all living things having spirits as humanity," in your eyes, "wisdom" is humanity, and your defined "human" encompasses all living beings, with no partiality to anyone.]

[Ying Long smiled and shared his insights with you.]

[Where there is prosperity, there is also the end of an era. Existences are not our puppets; they gradually progress and improve themselves. Perhaps they do not need a guider nor Cyan Heaven as a "supervisor."]

[From then on, Ying Long’s self-positioning is—Observer.]

[He does not involve himself with anything, nor does he influence their thoughts. He patiently waits for the beings that can stand before him.]

[Ying Long will be exceedingly delighted.]

[Everyone has their own Dao, just like there won’t be two identical flowers in the world, identical Dao cannot exist.]

[Life will find paths on its own.]

[You ponder deeply.]

[As living beings continually progress, the unchanging "Qingtian Law" becomes increasingly flawed, merely products of the old, decaying era.

Perhaps... you only need to provide an environment where "all things compete freely under frosty heavens."

Cyan Mountain naturally won’t disappoint you.]

[At this moment, Ning Yu’s voice arrives, stating that under the union of the Five Spirits, the Three Divine Beings of Qin Country are defeated.]

[Ying Long cautions you, the moment you make a move, Venerable of Dao and Virtue, Saint Taixuan, and Tathagata Buddha will immediately counter to suppress you.]

[But you need to first suppress Venerable of Dao and Virtue, Saint Taixuan, and Tathagata Buddha.]
