The Way of The Dao

Linqi observed the two spheres for a long time before responding: "There was an apparent prophecy that this was more like a will force that would be inherited by the chosen one, and that being chosen by the Holy Shrine would bring the animal race to the top once again." Even his tone of voice seemed to be slightly trembling, feeling some emotion in it.

"That's all the prophecy said, but we had no other clue. This Holy Shrine has existed since ancient times, and even my ancestors do not have the exact information that it is implied by the Holy Shrine. In time, the prophecy was left weak while many attempts were gradually made to approach it and perhaps obtain a legacy that was most likely." Linqi sighed deeply before calming down.

Ling Tian furrowed his eyebrows as he looked back at the two spheres in his hands.

He didn't feel there was any treasure within the two spheres, on the contrary, Ling Tian felt he had to feed these spheres with his own Spiritual Energy.

He didn't know how to explain it.

"These two spheres were consuming my Spiritual Energy before they came to a complete stop, I think I would really need my partner to be able to continue what happened a few moments ago..." Ling Tian proceeded to explain to Linqi all that he felt and his guesses.

Linqi was the legendary celestial creature of legends, so Ling Tian kept nothing from him about this.

The Qilin was a wise and peaceful creature, a being of light who would bring peace and tranquility to the world, a creature who does not like to use violence and prefers to combine with nature, calming the hearts of all beings.

Linqi listened to everything Ling Tian said to him and meditated for a long time before responding: "Perhaps, most likely, it is a true legacy that contains the will of the two divine beings, something like the way to become very strong and save the entire animal race... even the other existences as well..."

Ling Tian listened carefully to everything Linqi said.

"Before my father died, he told me that his father had informed him that our lineage has been guarding this Holy Shrine and that we have to wait until the destined being appears and until that time we can rest from our role. Only that being worthy of entering the Holy Shrine will be the Lord that the entire animal race will follow without rejecting. Although we do not know what types the divine beings were, many beings of the animal race have tried to approach the Holy Shrine to awaken them or to obtain their inheritance, but they never succeeded, even those beings equivalent to the realm of Supremacy could not approach it either, but you..."

Linqi stared at Ling Tian before continuing: "A human being who does not belong to the animal race has been chosen by the Holy Shrine, something no one had believed, so it must be for a reason. Therefore, a burden has been placed on your shoulders. I know that you have no relationship with the animal race and that you think that you would not have to sacrifice your life to help them, but I can be sure that in your future we will be a great support for you; the animal race will be one of your main allies in the future who will live and fight with you, facing all the problems and saving the existence of the universe."

Save the existence of the universe?

Ling Tian reflected on all that Linqi had said.

Although he never knew the animal race, Ling Tian would not be naive to want to protect the entire animal race just because he was chosen for the Holy Shrine.

He could help them, but if he does not even have his full power at present, he would only be an ant before those Supreme beings. The first thing Ling Tian has to do would be to return to his peak before entering a different realm that would surely bring many problems.

But if what Linqi said was true, then Ling Tian could meet the animal race and have them as support if one day the plane where the Immortal World and supposedly all the other lost worlds reside is in danger; Ling Tian could count on the support of the animal race.

"Senior, do you mean the battle against the demonic beings who have been lost along the way and no longer reason?" Ling Tian proceeded to explain to him about the demonic beings he had encountered in some Dead World, on the Divine Star Continent, and even in the void itself.

Definitely something was happening that there would always be demonic beings in specific places; these could be animals or even people who have become devils and have no more consciousness.

Ling Tian had the conjecture that these demonic beings were sensitive to the Dead Worlds, worlds where their Laws are deteriorating or worse, are dying and there is chaos in them.

Most of the abandoned worlds where he had previously gone to escape from the powerful Immortals had no trace of life in them; its Laws of Time were so altered that Ling Tian would live for dozens of years there to increase his cultivation while looking for a way out by using a teleportation formation.

Once he left those worlds where he would live a long time, only a few months or days would pass in the Immortal World, which would be the most insane thing for him.

Later, Ling Tian began to learn about the Space-Time Principles, as well as their respective Laws and what those Laws do in the world.

A world where its Laws of Time and Space are altered or destroyed, would probably be assaulted by demonic beings after a while. These demonic beings would destroy the entire world until nothing else remained and they were lost in the void.

Ling Tian understood that demonic beings would assault such worlds once their Laws were destroyed and they were lost in the void. This was confirmed in the last world where he was trapped for more than five thousand years.

But... why do worlds die? Why are the Laws of such worlds altered? What causes a Law to be altered in the first place?

Although he did not understand why the Laws of the worlds would be altered or broken in the first place, he would have to search for the origin of why this happens with the worlds.

Especially the Laws of Time and Space. These Laws are the main ones of all that exists.

If Ling Tian could find the origin that causes a world to die or that alters those Laws, he could try to find a solution to this.

"My heavenly power to understand and seek the light in the future has been reduced all this time and I can no longer see beyond it, but I can assure you that what you think can become reality." Linqi nodded seriously before adding, "Demonic beings are one of the signs that disaster is slowly but surely coming in the future."

Ling Tian clenched his fist, knowing that his possible conjectures were true. A great calamity could occur in the Immortal World and beyond.

Although it may not occur for several years, but in thousands of years, disaster will definitely come.

If that time should come, there would be no place to be safe. The entire existential plane would be destroyed and lost in the void...

Not even the Immortal World could be saved...

"From what you have told me, those Dead or Abandoned Worlds in which you had previously been, would be lost and destroyed once demonic beings entered them, breaking the fragile equilibrium of the world itself and destroying themselves in the void." Linqi sighed for the umpteenth time before saying, "Now that the Holy Shrine has reacted and chosen you, then the prophecy will be fulfilled by bringing into the universe once again the divine and majestic power of the two great divine beings of the animal race and thus fighting the great and imminent calamity in the future..."
