"Hmm!" The young man nodded. "As long as you integrate into me, you can transform into the Heavenly Dao, rule the Primordial Universe, and control the edge of life and death!"

The young man's tone was very sincere, as if inviting Ye Chen to join in a grand scheme.

"Why?" Ye Chen frowned as he looked at the young man. "Why do you want me to integrate into you, do I have something special?"

The young man's obsession and greed for the Divine Skills were all seen by Ye Chen, so he was very cautious and didn't trust the young man at all.

"Hmm, you are very special!" The young man looked at Ye Chen and spoke bluntly. "Your Daoist arts are very enigmatic, even I cannot fathom them. This is a new power, greatly beneficial to me!"

"Beneficial to you?" Ye Chen asked suspiciously. "Have you encountered some difficulty that requires help?"

The Heavenly Dao rules the Primordial Universe, overseeing all realms, unparalleled and unmatched, and yet requires help?

"I am tired!" The young man was silent for a moment and said.

"Tired?" Ye Chen widened his eyes, what does this mean?

"I am the Heavenly Dao, the most invincible!" the young man said. "But the greater the power, the greater the responsibility... so I am tired!"

"You don't want to be the Heavenly Dao anymore, are you thinking of transferring the position to me?" Ye Chen let his imagination run wild, indulging in fantasy.

"No!" The young man shook his head, telling Ye Chen not to overthink it.

"Then what is it?" Ye Chen asked.

"Maintaining the operation of the universe has almost become unbearable for me, I need to seek new power!" the young man said. "Moreover, the apocalypse is about to descend, if I stand still and seek no progress, I might perish!"

"Once I am no more, the universe will cease, everything will cease!"

The Heavenly Dao has existed for countless eras, or rather numerous epochs!

With each epoch's destruction and another's birth, the burden on the Heavenly Dao is immense, nearing breaking point.

Thus, the Heavenly Dao needs new power to stabilize the balance of the universe.

Furthermore, the impending apocalypse makes the Heavenly Dao uneasy, concerned that if the universe collapses, it too will vanish.

Therefore, the Heavenly Dao hopes for new power to emerge, enabling its transformation and strengthening!

Ye Chen, you are the power needed!

"You have lived for countless epochs, seen numerous powerful beings, don't they possess the power you need?" Ye Chen asked.

"No!" The young man shook his head. "I have seen seventy-two transcendents, all very powerful, able to fight me at my peak! But their power is not new, not the power I crave!"

"Seventy-two transcendents!" Ye Chen's heart trembled.

Transcendence is the realm beyond epic, the pinnacle of cultivation, an immeasurable strength.

Moreover, such individuals have long perished, leaving none behind.

Ye Chen thought transcendents were scarce, how could there be as many as seventy-two!

"Although you are not a transcendent, your power is very new, unseen and unheard of. It is the power I need!" The young man looked at Ye Chen with shining eyes.

"But compared to transcendents, I am still too weak. Even if the power is new, it won't make a difference!" Ye Chen said.

"No, you are wrong!" the young man said. "I don't need your power, but the opportunity you bring!"

"I only need an opportunity now, and you are that breakthrough!"

"Big brother, don't tease me. I'm just a chicken, how can I enter your dragon's eye?" Ye Chen laughed awkwardly.

"..." The young man looked at Ye Chen, frowning slightly.

"Big brother, I have matters at home, I won't chat with you..." Ye Chen wanted to make a quick exit, leaving this place of trouble.

The Heavenly Dao is seeking new power for its rebirth and transformation, making Ye Chen the key, which doesn't seem like a good thing.

Integrate into the Heavenly Dao, to co-rule the universe?

How does Ye Chen know if the young man is tricking him?

The existence of the Heavenly Dao is unimaginable, the transcendent cannot overcome it. If the young man tricks him, Ye Chen would die without a trace left!

"You cannot leave!" The young man blocked Ye Chen's path, speaking without expression.

"No, I must go!" Ye Chen was eager to escape.

"I have waited countless epochs for you, how could I possibly let you go now?" The young man continued to block the path, not allowing Ye Chen to leave.

"What do you want?" Ye Chen's face turned cold as he looked at the young man.

"Integrate into me!" The young man said.

"No!" Ye Chen refused immediately.

"Why not?" the young man asked. "As long as you are willing to integrate into me, you can transform into the Heavenly Dao, inherit my strength, and become the strongest existence in the universe... aren't you willing?"

"Unwilling!" Ye Chen shook his head, firmly said. "Power is something I cultivate myself, not given by others, otherwise, it would make me a puppet!"

"Are you worried that I will erase your consciousness?" The young man seemed to realize something, and said.

"..."

Ye Chen didn't answer because it was pointless.

After integrating into the Heavenly Dao, Ye Chen would lose control of himself. The Heavenly Dao could do as it pleased, how could he not worry?!

"I won't destroy you!" the young man said. "Moreover, you are merely a key. I want to use your power to unlock my own treasures, and I won't destroy the key!"

"Furthermore, as long as you are willing to integrate into me, you can share my power, becoming an independent sovereign. This will greatly benefit you!"

The young man's promise was very enticing, even able to drive someone mad.

As long as Ye Chen was willing to integrate, not only could he retain consciousness, but also share the young man's power, becoming another Heavenly Dao!

This was an enormous temptation for anyone!

However, no matter how the young man promised, Ye Chen remained unmoved!

Power is something that must be cultivated by oneself, not given by others!

Otherwise, even if one gains power, it's like a rootless duckweed, easily scattered with a flick!

Ye Chen understood this principle deeply, so he held firmly to his self, only cultivating his true self.

"You are too stubborn!" The young man shook his head. "What cultivation, insights, Divine Skills, all are just processes, only power is eternal!"

"Therefore, all your persistence is obsession!"

"Only by integrating into me can you bloom, transcend, and become eternal!"

The young man spoke incessantly, with a hint of criticism and a tinge of temptation, trying to guide Ye Chen to convert.

"I don't want to bloom, transcend, or become eternal, I just want to be myself in peace!" Ye Chen remained unmoved.

"But, you are my hope, the hope of the universe, the hope of myriad worlds... Aren't you shirking responsibility by doing this, are you worthy of all beings?" The young man's aura sharpened, questioning Ye Chen.

"Heaven and earth have nurtured me, accomplished me, I naturally must repay," Ye Chen said. "When the great disaster comes, I will be the first to answer!"

The apocalypse is a calamity of heaven and earth, a calamity of all beings. Ye Chen, living under heaven and earth, being one among beings, naturally has the duty to withstand calamity!

However, even if it means death, Ye Chen doesn't want to integrate into the Heavenly Dao! Because he doesn't want to lose himself!

"In that case, don't blame me!" A hint of madness flashed in the young man's eyes.

The young man's madness made Ye Chen's heart jolt, feeling a sense of crisis.

"Boom!"

However, before the young man could act, Ye Chen took the initiative.

The Divine Skills erupted with invincible power, confining this time and space, Ye Chen wanted to escape.

But with the Heavenly Dao young man here, how could Ye Chen succeed?

"You can't escape, obediently integrate into me!"

The Heavenly Dao young man looked at Ye Chen, exuding a demonic nature, as an invincible might suddenly erupted.

"Boom!"

Three thousand rainbows burst from the young man's body, each one disturbing heaven and earth, wielding the might of the universe.

The three thousand rainbows represented three thousand great Dao, intertwining into a net, ensnaring the Divine Skills, also ensnaring Ye Chen!
