Chapter 651: Chapter 651
The entire sea was plunged into a deathly silence.
The Forbidden Zone Lords, who had been smiling triumphantly at the Heavenly Dao’s manifestation, now had their smiles frozen on their faces.
The Eternal Lord’s face was blank. Mu Zhi’s eyes widened in astonishment, and she even wondered if she had heard correctly.
Isis also looked shocked. She had known Mu Zhian must have a backup plan when he told her not to stop the Heavenly Dao’s descent, but to cooperate with the other Forbidden Zone Lords.
But she never expected that he didn’t have a backup plan… because he never needed one from the very beginning.
The Heavenly Dao they had summoned was Mu Zhian’s backup plan!
For a moment, the Forbidden Zone Lords’ expressions froze. After a long while, they snapped out of their daze.
Their faces were filled with astonishment, shock, and disbelief.
“W-what did you just say?”
He wondered if he was hallucinating. Hearing the Heavenly Dao say ‘Mu Lang’ was simply surreal.
The Heavenly Dao, representing the supreme authority of all living beings… addressing a living being in a way similar to ‘husband’?
The Lord of Order looked at Mu Zhian with suspicion and uncertainty, wondering what kind of love potion this guy had given the Heavenly Dao.
Just then, the Eternal Lord pointed at Mu Zhian and said, “Mu Zhian, although I don’t know what you did to deceive the Heavenly Dao, you did disrupt the rules of heaven and earth. Do you dare to admit it?!”
“If you admit it, you should obediently accept the Heavenly Dao’s purification!”
He couldn’t accept that after all his hard work, after expending a large amount of his essence to summon the Heavenly Dao’s true body, this was the outcome.
No matter what, Mu Zhian had to die!
The Heavenly Dao looked at Mu Zhian with a smile, but saw a troubled look on his face. He said in a low voice, “It was indeed me who influenced the rules of the Nine Provinces.”
“Those who transcended were also with my help.”
“But there were reasons… But no matter how I explain it, what’s done is done. I have nothing to say.”
Mu Zhian looked at the black-dressed woman, lowered his head slightly, and said softly, “No matter if you want to punish me or not, I can accept it. After all, it was indeed me who violated the rules first.”
However, as he spoke, his hand holding the Heavenly Dao’s soft, small hand tightened slightly.
Just this simple action made the Heavenly Dao’s heart tremble slightly, the spiritual energy beneath her feet even becoming somewhat chaotic.
The ‘humanity’ the Heavenly Dao possessed was given to it by Mu Zhian. She had no mercy for others.
But Mu Zhian’s every move, even every word he said, was something the Heavenly Dao cared about.
To the point that seeing his uneasy expression now, the Heavenly Dao’s heart almost melted.
A smile appeared on her calm face, and she said in a gentle yet firm tone, “Violating the rules doesn’t mean you need to be severely punished. If we were to severely punish everyone who violated the rules, there probably wouldn’t be many living beings left in the Nine Provinces.”
This was clearly siding with Mu Zhian. The Eternal Lord was furious, but dared not show his anger, and said sincerely, “Mother, this boy has violated the rules of heaven and earth beyond your imagination… He even corrupted the Heavenly Dao’s will to serve him.”
“The Heavenly Dao’s will…”
This time, the Heavenly Dao’s gaze finally fixed on Mu Zhian. She had a sweet smile on her face, but it seemed to hold no warmth.
“My will cannot be corrupted, but there are always exceptions.”
Her fair and slender hand gently caressed Mu Zhian’s face, her fingertips slowly moving from his face to his neck, collarbone, and then his chest, drawing circles on his chest with a ticklish sensation.
“You must have used the Innate Celestial Furnace’s Spiritual Energy to corrupt ‘my’ will, right, Mu Lang~” she raised her eyes and looked at Mu Zhian with a smile.
This scene was incredibly strange. The aggregate of all living beings’ will was now like a woman, even calling a little cultivator ‘Mu Lang’.
…She could even act spoiled.
At this moment, the faces of the Forbidden Zone Lords were somewhat unsightly.
Mu Zhi and the others were thinking that the Heavenly Dao might be their ‘rival’ in the future.
And the other Forbidden Zone Lords faintly sensed that something was wrong.
This scene was different from what they had imagined.
Logically, the Heavenly Dao should be acting now, suppressing all chaos, resetting the Nine Provinces, and letting the forbidden rules cover the rules of heaven and earth.
But after descending, before she even had a chance to act, she was ‘charmed’ by a young man.
“I did corrupt your will,” Mu Zhian sighed softly, admitting it frankly, under the Heavenly Dao’s tender gaze.
The Eternal Lord sneered, about to say something.
However, just then, he heard Mu Zhian gaze at the Heavenly Dao and say softly, “But that was only because you weren’t here… I could only entrust my longing to your will.”
The Heavenly Dao was slightly stunned, a hint of emotion appearing in her smile.
Come to think of it, wasn’t the Heavenly Dao’s will a part of her?
Mu Zhian being intimate with the Heavenly Dao’s will, in a sense, wasn’t that being intimate with her?
It was just that she wasn’t in the Nine Provinces, so Mu Zhian could only find her will that was left in the Nine Provinces.
So… corrupting the Heavenly Dao’s will wasn’t his intention, he was just close to the Heavenly Dao’s will because he missed her.
The Heavenly Dao seemed to have thought of something, a hint of probing in her dark eyes, “So, you agree to be with me forever?” ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by ɴovelfire.net
Mu Zhian nodded without hesitation, “Although my memories have only partially recovered, it’s my honor to be with you… For this, I’m willing to pay any price, do anything.”
A light appeared in the Heavenly Dao’s emotionless, dark eyes for the first time. She took Mu Zhian’s arm, rested her head affectionately in his embrace, and murmured as if in a dream:
“I knew Mu Lang would change his mind. Besides me, there’s no living being in this world who is worthy of you. We’re a match made in heaven.”
“After I erase the Earth Dao and the Human Dao, and cover the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths with the forbidden rules, there will be no obstacles between us.”
“Mmm… but I remember Mu Lang still has many women by his side, right?”
The Heavenly Dao placed a fingertip against her red lips, thought for a moment with a troubled expression, then said with a smile, “But forget it. After I kill them all, Mu Lang won’t miss them anymore.”
“By then, Mu Lang will be mine alone, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will also be mine alone… No, ours. I will share my power with you, and even my own power will be yours.”
After hearing the Heavenly Dao’s address to Mu Zhian earlier, the faces of the Forbidden Zone Lords were somewhat unsightly, as if under a dark cloud.
However, now, hearing the Heavenly Dao’s words, some of them immediately showed looks of surprise.
The Eternal Lord was even more ecstatic. Although he didn’t know why the Heavenly Dao was so infatuated with Mu Zhian, as long as the Heavenly Dao could act against those Transcendence Realm Human Emperors, he didn’t believe Mu Zhian wouldn’t be anxious.
“Young Friend Mu, you look a bit pale…”
The Eternal Lord feigned concern and asked doubtfully, “Now that you have ‘Mother’, are you still reluctant to part with your other Dao Companions?”
“But that makes sense. You had a very good relationship with those Dao Companions in the past… You must have been intimate with them, so it’s normal to be reluctant.”
He thought Mu Zhian would be anxious because of this, but who knew, Mu Zhian looked at him with some doubt and said, “Why are you calling me Young Friend Mu… According to seniority, shouldn’t you be calling me Dad?”
“You—” The Eternal Lord was filled with a surging anger, almost unable to control himself.
However, just then, Mu Zhian, as if frightened, subconsciously took half a step back and tightly held the Heavenly Dao’s soft, small hand.
The Heavenly Dao’s gentle smile faded, and her emotionless gaze turned cold as she looked at the Eternal Lord.
Just that one glance made the Forbidden Zone Lords present feel a great fear, especially the Eternal Lord, who was being targeted, felt his heart palpitate, and his scalp tingled.
I have to endure… The Eternal Lord suppressed his fear and was about to speak.
However, just then, Mu Zhian, who should have been hostile to the Eternal Lord, actually spoke up for him.
Mu Zhian’s face was pale with fear, but he forced a smile, “Forget it. No matter what, he was just worried about you, which was why he questioned my feelings. Let’s let him go.”
“Don’t ruin your relationship for an outsider like me.”
Who knew, just then, the Heavenly Dao tilted her head slightly and looked at the Forbidden Zone Lord indifferently.
“What are you talking about, Mu Lang?”
“They’re just products I created, but you’re the creator who gave me humanity…”
She gently took Mu Zhian’s arm, rested her cheek sweetly on his shoulder, and looked at the Eternal Lord before her as if looking at a dead person, saying softly, “Our relationship doesn’t need to be questioned by others.”
A terrifying spiritual energy instantly pressed down, and the Eternal Lord felt his body being suppressed by some force, until finally, he could no longer withstand that innate pressure and subconsciously knelt in mid-air.
Mu Zhian seemed to realize something and gently took the Heavenly Dao’s small, fair hand, saying in a low voice, “Let’s just forget it… A little bit of grievance is nothing to me.”
“If the Eternal Lord holds a grudge against you because of me, I would feel bad.”
This seemingly praising but actually demeaning words, coupled with the Heavenly Dao’s indifferent gaze, as if looking down at an ant, made the Eternal Lord realize something was wrong. He looked at Mu Zhian with hatred, about to say something.
However, the next moment, the Heavenly Dao’s gaze fell slightly.
The Eternal Lord’s spiritual sense shattered on the spot.
This scene made the remaining Forbidden Zone Lords feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their scalps tingling.
“Just a Forbidden Zone Lord, killing him is nothing.”
She gently took Mu Zhian’s arm, a sweet smile at the corner of her lips, “As long as you’re happy.”
