Buzz!
Along with the sound of that pleasant voice, Ye Lin was directly swept away by an irresistible, mighty force and brought to a valley filled with the fragrance of flowers and the singing of birds.
In front of the valley stood a thatched cottage with a courtyard. In the small yard, a little girl with twin ponytails, holding a stick of candied hawthorns, dressed in an elementary school uniform, and carrying a small pink backpack on her back, was currently waving at him.
“My child, over here.” Seeing Ye Lin arrive, the little girl waved her chubby little hand so fast it almost left afterimages.
“Don't be ridiculous.” Seeing a little pint-sized tot actually call him "child" in such an upside-down manner, even though he knew she was very likely the Heavenly Dao of the Blue Planet, Ye Lin still felt extremely awkward.
Pouting, he ultimately chose to walk toward the little girl.
After a brief conversation, Ye Lin learned something that left him utterly dumbfounded.
Although he was a transmigrator, he hadn't taken over someone else's body. Instead, it was a reincarnation from scratch in a different world.
In other words, the cheap Blue Planet parents he thought he had were actually his biological parents.
Furthermore, he was originally the destined Chosen One of the Blue Planet. According to the original timeline of destiny, he would have received a hundredfold strengthening cheat that could modify backgrounds, marching forward triumphantly to become the Blue Planet's Martial God.
Under his leadership, the invasion of exotic beasts on the Blue Planet would have been completely brought to an end.
Unfortunately, before he could even start exerting his power, an extraterrestrial god had altered his destiny, snatched his cheat, and almost turned him into miserable cannon fodder.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Heavenly Dao, Xi, had spared no expense, dragging a cheat out of the river of time for him.
That cheat was launching the real cultivation game 《Mortal Fate, Immortal Path》 ten years early just for him.
Not only that, but the Heavenly Dao, Xi, had also implanted the script arranged by Ye Tian into his memory in the form of a novel, letting him know he was about to become cannon fodder so that he would rise up and resist.
“Let me tell you, to fish out that cheat for you, I sacrificed a whole bunch of supreme treasures my dad gave me!”
“Of course, I didn't expect you to pay me back, but I promised my dad before leaving home that I would at least advance to a Ninth-Tier Heavenly Dao before going back to find him. Now, my foundation is too shallow. It's probably impossible to advance on my own, so you have to help me.”
Having explained the cause and effect clearly to Ye Lin, the Heavenly Dao, Xi, tightly grabbed the corner of Ye Lin's clothes with her small hand, her big eyes blinking as she looked at him.
Hearing this, Ye Lin frowned and nodded.
“Since you sacrificed so many supreme treasures to help me reverse my destiny, it is only right and proper that I help you with this.”
“But I don't understand. With so many supreme treasures in your possession, how did Ye Tian, an extraterrestrial god, manage to invade? And how did he directly alter my life as the Chosen One?”
Ye Lin stared unblinkingly at the Heavenly Dao, Xi.
“Well... actually, I fell asleep. I'm just a little baby, so it's normal to be a bit sleepy, right?”
“Who knew that despicable evil god would play dirty? While I was sleeping, he used a very special treasure to block all of my senses. If my stomach hadn't started growling and forced me to wake up to look for food, you and the Blue Planet would have been completely finished.” Xi looked at him with a somewhat innocent expression.
Ye Lin: “...”
So, do the Blue Planet and I need to sing 'Thank you, because of you, the seasons are warm' to you?
Feeling completely powerless to complain, he could only ask how he was supposed to help Xi advance.
“That's easy! I'll give you some Heavenly Dao source origin so you can become a Heavenly Dao too. Then, I have a talent called 'Concentric Bond.' It allows me to be carried by you to win without taking away any of your experience.”
“As long as you become a Heavenly Dao that transcends the Ninth-Tier, I'll be able to advance to a Ninth-Tier Heavenly Dao and report back to my dad.”
Seeing Ye Lin ask about the advancement, Xi immediately explained it seriously.
“Alright then. Becoming a Heavenly Dao at the Qi Condensation Stage is indeed quite ridiculous.” Ye Lin nodded, feeling somewhat emotional.
Although Xi was getting a free ride to victory this time, it was a fact that she had sacrificed so many supreme treasures. Furthermore, she wouldn't take any of his experience and was directly giving him Heavenly Dao source origin to help him become a Heavenly Dao.
This was a deal with all benefits and zero harm, so carrying her to a free win was naturally no big deal.
“What's so ridiculous about it? In our family, we're born as Heavenly Daos! 'Heavenly Dao' refers to the degree of control and utilization of rules, not some cultivation realm.”
Xi rolled her eyes. Then, raising her small hand, she shot a wisp of golden light radiating supreme power into the space between his brows.
Boom!
The moment this wisp of golden light entered his sea of consciousness, it exploded into countless specks of light, each speck then transforming into strangely shaped characters.
Finally, these characters merged together, forming a mysterious and unpredictable great seal of mountains and rivers.
This was the 'Heavenly Dao Seal,' the medium used to mobilize the rules of heaven and earth.
With the blessing of this great seal, the power of any attack would be amplified a hundredfold, and any damage received from attacks of any level would be reduced a hundredfold.
“Amazing. With this level of buff, as long as the opponents I face aren't too ridiculous, I can basically walk all over them.”
After learning about the heaven-defying capabilities of the Heavenly Dao Seal, Ye Lin couldn't help but mutter to himself.
“Combat power and damage reduction are just the most basic abilities of the Heavenly Dao Seal. Its most powerful feature is actually allowing you to customize and modify the prerequisites for breaking through realms.”
“In the past, cultivators only needed sufficient accumulation and comprehension of heaven and earth to break through. However, since the Great Dao fell silent and the authority of the Dao was eaten away by certain people, those people modified the rules of heaven and earth to set limits on all latecomers, preventing anyone from reaching their heights.”
“From the Qi Condensation Stage onward, the more terrifying a person's foundation is, the more harsh the prerequisites for breaking through realms become, making it almost a narrow escape from death.”
“But with the Heavenly Dao Seal, you can customize and modify some of the content of these prerequisite quests. The higher the level of the seal, the more content you can change.”
“So, work hard, good child!”
Seeing that Ye Lin's Heavenly Dao Seal had finished condensing, Xi immediately gave him a detailed introduction.
After listening to Xi, Ye Lin nodded in sudden realization.
He had so many mid-grade spirit stones on him, along with the thousandfold time acceleration of the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda. The reason he hadn't entered the Foundation Establishment Stage yet was partly because his vital energy was insufficient to support the growth of the Dao seed seedling.
But a more important point was that he had discovered he needed to complete a certain prerequisite quest to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Originally, he had thought this was because he was a game player, which was why he had to do quests before breaking through.
But he hadn't expected that this was actually a restriction deliberately set for all cultivators after the authority of the Great Dao was stolen by certain people!
In fact, this matter had already been mentioned in the description of his 【Lord of Heaven's Punishment】 class change quest. At the time, he hadn't paid much attention to it, thinking it was just grandiose flavor text.
But now, this damn unfair treatment had directly fallen upon his head?
With his terrifying foundation of 307 times combat power, this prerequisite quest would probably send him to his death.
Fortunately, he had now become a First-Tier Heavenly Dao and could customize and modify some of the content.
“A bunch of bastards, flipping the table right after finishing their meal. If I get the chance in the future, I'll smash your heads in.” Ye Lin couldn't help but curse those mighty figures in his heart.
