Chapter 738: Chapter 51: Merging with the Dao, Creating the Universe

"But, what does it matter even if there are no three thousand Great Daos?"

"I have not lost yet, I am destined to become this world’s first creator!"

Gazing at the world’s edge as it collapsed into chaos, Emperor Hao’s voice spread across this new world.

Though unable to simultaneously prove the three thousand Daos and achieve the supreme [Path of Creation], this did not mean Emperor Hao had no other options.

"Indeed, you have not lost, but you need time..."

"And I just happen to be able to buy you some time."

Silently, a normal-sized Chang Xi appeared overhead of Emperor Hao.

Compared to the towering giant Emperor Hao, Chang Xi was so tiny that she wasn’t even comparable to an ant, yet her voice clearly reached his ears.

"I don’t need you to buy me time."

His brows slightly furrowed, Emperor Hao decisively rejected Chang Xi’s proposal.

Though Emperor Hao had reconstructed Chang Xi’s physical body,

the exhaustion from her previous battles was indeed real.

Especially the aftereffect of her Divine Soul’s damage, which couldn’t be compensated for by simply reconstructing the physical body.

It is not an exaggeration to say that, the reason Emperor Hao brought Chang Xi to this new world at a crucial moment was because he saw that her Divine Soul was unable to hold on.

If there were any possibility or choice, Emperor Hao would never let Chang Xi come to such a dangerous place.

"All along, it was you protecting me; now it’s time for me to protect you once."

With a faint smile, Chang Xi’s tone was filled with determination.

"I’m not asking for your opinion; I’m simply telling you what I plan to do."

His body jolted suddenly, and Emperor Hao furiously shouted.

"Nonsense! Don’t stir up trouble at a time like this!"

"I brought you back, not for you to sacrifice for me!"

Chang Xi’s expression suddenly stalled, never expecting Emperor Hao’s observation to be so keen.

However, after a brief daze, Chang Xi instead smiled quite relievedly.

"What a pity, you seem to have no spare energy to stop me now."

With a playful blink, Chang Xi’s rebellious words made Emperor Hao even more furious.

"Chang Xi! I warn you, don’t do anything reckless!"

"The trouble I caused, I can solve myself; I don’t need you to clean up after me!"

With a smirk, Chang Xi looked down at Emperor Hao, her face gradually showing a sense of nostalgia.

"I always knew sister would never abandon us without a reason; her disappearance must have a cause."

"You knew this long ago, didn’t you? You kept this from me so well!"

Her smile gradually faded, and Chang Xi then took out the jade shuttle capable of controlling time.

"This jade shuttle... is the Creation Jade Disc!"

Although phrased as a question, Chang Xi used a tone of certainty when asking.

"Had it not been Vermilion Bird who awakened me, I might never dream that you hid the ’Creation Jade Disc’ with me."

"But upon reflection, it’s bound to be expected; you always were the prescient Celestial Emperor, so how could you do anything meaningless?"

This jade shuttle was a gift Emperor Hao gave her when they married.

With this jade shuttle’s power, Chang Xi accomplished the division of the lunar calendar, stepping from the [Path of the Taiyin] into the [Path of Time].

Initially, Chang Xi thought this was merely a gift from Emperor Hao to facilitate her transition to the [Path of Time].

After all, the [Path of the Taiyin] had already been proven by Heng’e, forcing Chang Xi to find an alternative path.

Thus turning to the [Path of Time] proved to be a smoother avenue than the [Path of the Taiyin].

"Chang Xi! Don’t..."

Having sensed Chang Xi’s resolve, Emperor Hao rarely showed a pleading expression.

"It’s just a gift; it holds no significance!"

For the first time in his life, Emperor Hao regretted giving Chang Xi this jade shuttle.

Even though when he gave this jade shuttle to Chang Xi, there was indeed a hidden intention within.

Undeniably, presenting this jade shuttle as a marriage gift to Chang Xi revealed her place in his heart.

"No, from the moment you gave it to me, its significance already surpassed everything."

Gently lifting the jade shuttle, Chang Xi’s body began to emit a faint glow.

Witnessing this, Emperor Hao disregarded supporting the heavens and instinctively reached out, attempting to stop her.

Unexpectedly, yet inevitably, Chang Xi ignored the giant palm imbued with Divine Power, soaring into the sky like a phantom.

"As a world, how can there be only the sun and no moon?"

"The lone Yin does not sustain, the solitary Yang does not thrive, only the intersection (unspeakable) of Yin and Yang is the Great Dao!"

"You once told me, this is the essence of the ’Celestial Human Technique’ expounded by Tao Ancestor, yet you seem to have forgotten it yourself."

A playful laugh echoed through the heavens and earth as Chang Xi’s figure completely vanished.

The next second, a grand moon emerged from the void, precisely facing the sun Emperor Hao transformed into from afar.

Faintly, it seemed Chang Xi’s shadow appeared in the grand moon, but it was merely her shadow.

Boom!

At the moment the grand moon materialized, the originally lifeless world began to flow.

This is the power of time, and indeed the power of creation.

With the flow of time, the chaotic Celestial Disaster dispersed with the wind.

In no time, the entire world transitioned from deathly silence to vibrancy, no longer appearing barren.

Yet faced with all this, Emperor Hao felt no joy, only confusion and regret in his eyes.

"Why?"

Gazing at the rising Taiyin Star, Emperor Hao’s deep voice sounded so hoarse at this moment.

"Because your desire is my wish."

"Anything you want, I will help you; hasn’t it always been this way?"

The light laughter rang again in Emperor Hao’s ears, but this time the voice grew increasingly faint.

For Chang Xi, harnessing the power of the jade shuttle unlocked an unprecedented achievement—Merging Path!

However, Chang Xi was not merging with the "Dao that births one" pursued by countless Pathfinders, but rather the "Heavenly Dao" symbolized by the [Creation Jade Disc].

More importantly, Li Boyang’s premise for "Refining Void and Merging Path" is "Refining Void."

That is, to break through the void and transcend the other shore, to evolve and encompass the Great Dao oneself, becoming an entity beyond the Great Dao.

Even without pursuing the Great Dao, those Seekers trying to prove the Dao would never sacrifice their own existence to become part of a path.

Yet this is precisely what Chang Xi is doing now.

Completely abandoning her own will, merging with the Dao, becoming a part of the Heavenly Dao.

In this way, before her will disappears, Chang Xi can borrow part of the [Creation Jade Disc]’s power to set this newborn world fully in motion.

The sun illuminates the sky and earth, bestowing the world with the concept of "space."

The moon illuminates the past and future, bestowing the world with the concept of "time."

——The four directions and above and below are called space, the past and present are called time, together they form the universe.
