Western Regions.

In the fierce wind of yellow sand, a domineering blade light cuts through the sandstorm, sweeping towards the sky.

"Are you really going to tell him about the news of the Buddha so easily?"

Outside Nalanda Temple, Shitian, who had detached from the trinity state on the three mountain-high Buddha statues, looked at the distant blade light and asked.

"Not telling him will only cause him to keep pestering us," Fantian said, "We cannot stop him, and he cannot stop us either. Being entangled by him is just a waste of time.

Besides, letting them cause trouble for the Buddhists is a good thing. It's just a pity..."

What a pity indeed, naturally, it's a pity not to recruit believers through brainwashing methods. Acting in such a way creates too many enemies, leading oneself to a path of self-destruction.

The more chaos Papiyan creates, the more enemies he makes. He either gets killed by strong foes or defeats all enemies, forcing the Buddha to be released.

Regardless of the outcome, it leads to annihilation; it's just a matter of time.

If it weren't for the Three-faced God's will having weakened over time, Papiyan might have already embarked on this path.

"The Buddha is truly insidious. He must have foreseen today's events when he left the divine artifact of the Three-faced God," Mie Tian scoffed coldly.

"Now, our only goal is to enhance our power and restore the full strength of the Three-faced God. When the great calamity breaks through the seal, we can directly breakthrough and face the Buddha head-on."

························

"Papiyan's meaning is······"

Qing Yu looked at the Sword God, furrowing his brow, "Because of certain reasons, both the Buddha and the Dao Ancestor have been sealed by the Heavenly Dao, with their consciousness now imprisoned within it, suffering annihilation by the Heavenly Dao. If we break through the seals, they will also be freed.

And the reason the Buddha wants the successor of the Three-faced God to appear is to recreate the great calamity of the Peacock Dynasty and free himself early?"

At this moment, he and the Sword God are discussing within the Heavenly Vault in the form of Primordial Spirit Projection, but it's only the two of them with no other members online.

"It's more than just that," said the Sword God, "The Buddha wants to force the Heavenly Dao to let him leave, so the restrictions of heaven and earth still won't be lifted. He will use the power of the Tao Realm to reshape Qiankun, flatten us who intend to incite the great calamity, and reinforce the seals.

At that time, the world will be under his rule."

Indeed, once the Buddha is out, with the Dao Ancestor still locked away, the world will be governed by the Buddha.

Hence, the Dao Ancestor let Elder Shiming rebuild the Nine Heavens, pushing for the great calamity to violently break free and return to the world.

Compared to the Buddha, Dao Ancestor is more direct, without so many tricks, perhaps confident in his own strength, believing he can suppress the Buddha.

In fact, Qing Yu and the Sword God's goals coincide with the Dao Ancestor's. They wish to breakthrough, achieve longevity, they must break the seals and help Dao Ancestor and Buddha escape.

"So, the Supreme Taoist's plan should be to imitate the Buddha of old, using the pressure from people like us who defy heaven to force the Heavenly Dao to open the door for him, allowing him to breakthrough," Qing Yu said.

The Supreme Taoist's previous attitude was so ambiguous just to let the Nine Heavens become the second batch of Three-faced God, and he himself will dramatically save the day at the critical moment, rescuing the world.

The role of the Nine Heavens is nothing more than being his stepping stone to assist his breakthrough.

With this, the Supreme Taoist achieves the Tao Realm, but if the seals do not break, Dao Ancestor and Buddha remain imprisoned, the world is left for him to roam.

In a certain sense, the Supreme Taoist's and the Buddha's plans are similar, but incompatible. After all, there is only room for one savior.

"Currently, there are two paths to achieving the Tao Realm, and we can only choose one of them," Qing Yu thought, carrying a slight, bitter smile.

He and the Sword God, along with other Nine Heaven members, are instigators of the great calamity and have long been on the Heavenly Dao's blacklist.

Qing Yu himself has directly and indirectly taken countless lives, completely beyond redemption.

The Heavenly Dao, lacking heart, spirit and wisdom, is purely the manifestation of the will of heaven and earth, like Qing Yu's previous life computer, extremely rigid. This means, once blacklisted, getting off it is practically impossible.

Want to be a savior? Sorry, even if you fight to the death, it's not possible.

Only someone like the Supreme Taoist who has been scheming for a long time, hiding in the shadows without involvement in karma, would have the qualification to choose the other path.

"At present, that old sly and calculating fellow, Supreme, has the greatest chance of success." The Sword God's finger lightly tapped the throne, producing a sonorous sound.

The Buddha truly missed calculating the Supreme Taoist. If Papiyan really sweeps across the world, with no one able to resist, the chances of the ever uninvolved Supreme Taoist being selected are far greater than the Buddha's.

If you're not at a desperate dead-end, who would choose a prisoner to save yourself?

"So, Sword God, what is your plan?"

"Plan? Ha," the Sword God laughed sarcastically, forming the shape of a broken sword with his sword intent, and slashing out a path through the white mist within the Heavenly Vault.

"My plan is to cut open a heavenly path with a blade."

Powerful sword intent emanated from the Sword God, "Whether it's the Heavenly Dao or Dao Ancestor and Buddha, if they want to block my path, they must first face my blade. I, Nangong Duanjian, have never retreated in my life."

After saying this, the Sword God directly exited the Heavenly Vault, seemingly having no intent to ask Qing Yu, or perhaps······

He already understood Qing Yu's choice.

"Truly domineering, but······" Qing Yu chuckled lightly, "It aligns perfectly with my intentions."

Just as the Sword God said, those who stand in the way must be killed. The original establishment of Nine Heavens was to pave that path. With ninety-five out of a hundred steps taken, Qing Yu would not retreat at the last moment.

His figure faded, also exiting the Heavenly Vault.

Upon returning to reality, he immediately notified his subordinates, "[Sword Residence, take Sword Maiden, Yun Zheng, and Qi Ye along with Demon Control Token, head to take over Fate Altar.]"

Qing Yu has not forgotten the existence of Fate Altar. Having killed Elder Shiming, it stands to reason as the victor to take over Fate Altar, doesn't it?

Given that Elder Shiming was a pawn placed by the Dao Ancestor, perhaps there will be some information about Dao Ancestor's plans at Fate Altar.

Even if there isn't, taking over Fate Altar enables control over the voice of authority in the world.

Thanks to the efforts of generations of Altar Masters, Fate Altar is known as the most authoritative news entity in the world. This is evident from the various lists released by Fate Altar.

Although under the current chaotic heavenly mechanism, Fate Altar's Heavenly Mechanism Calculators have become "blind," they still can play a role in some aspects.

"[Sword Residence accepts the command.]"

The reliable subordinate Xuanyin Sword Residence prepares to set off.
