Fairy, wait a minute, let me explain.

Chapter 26: The True Lord Who Blocks Out the Sun and Faces the Shadows

Outside Phoenix City, a tributary of the Hanging River flows, and the bright moon hangs high in the sky.

Yao Xingyingye Yuanjun, who had returned to the mortal realm, narrowed her eyes and looked at Luo Huanxi, or rather, Su Muzhe's face, which was close at hand.

"Several lonely moments under the moon, through countless changing seasons."

The unknown True Lord, disguised as Su Muzhe, moved his lips, and with every frown and smile, everything around him paled in comparison.

"It's been a long time, Fellow Daoist Tantai. I've been waiting for you."

Although Luo Huanxi in the underworld is also her true appearance, it is ultimately just a spirit, and her face is hazy and indistinct.

This is when Tantai Yang truly witnessed the impact of the so-called "most beautiful woman in a thousand years".

But having lived for so many years, no matter how striking the beauty may seem, it's only a matter of first glance.

Almost simultaneously, Tantai Yang took half a step forward, unleashing his supernatural power. His dark pupils instantly turned even deeper and darker, staining the whites of his eyes.

Under the moonlight, her shadow instantly spread across the entire land, extending forward.

"Don't rush to make a move, Fellow Daoist Tantai."

The unknown True Monarch, disguised as Su Muzhe, flashed backward a great distance, while slightly raising his hands, still with that smiling expression.

"You are free to overturn and bury this place along with my clone at any time, but I think you certainly wouldn't want to involve Wei Yueyan and influence this position again after you've already dispersed, would you?"

"After all, times have changed. The power and authority of the Heavenly and Earthly Deities have been diminished, and they are all teetering on the brink of collapse. Not long ago, the Twenty-Eight Mansions underwent anomalies."

"I think it must be the return of the first Lord who fought against the heavens?"

As the unknown True Lord spoke, he reached out and pinched the shadow at his feet, "stealing" a wisp of moonlight from the shadows and holding it between his fingers.

Tantai Yang snorted coldly.

A chilling aura instantly emanated from the moonlit white hair, and the unknown deity seemed to have been frozen in place, standing there in a daze.

Two breaths later.

The figure of this unknown True Lord vanished, only to reappear behind Tantai Yang.

This time, however, he no longer resembled Su Muzhe.

"What incredible power! It breaks through all laws silently. My magic power, even my supernatural abilities and spiritual consciousness, have been overwhelmed and frozen. However, if you don't like seeing this face, just say so."

Tantai Yang slowly turned around and looked at the cute girl in front of him, who was only five feet tall, and suddenly held his breath.

"You sun-obscuring clone..."

Sensing the extremely subtle destiny within the other person, Tantai Yang's voice trembled slightly.

Many years ago, after the first war against the heavens, she, Feng Qingling, Huo Chuyun, and that person ascended to the Heavenly Court together.

The man struck first, injuring her and severing her connection with the Dao Fruit.

Afterwards, she engaged in a battle with Feng Qingling and Huo Chuyun, leaving behind a few words that seemed inexplicable to her at the time before she died.

In the end, when Feng Qingling and Huo Chuyun "divided up" that person, that is, when the three of them were all half-step Immortal Lords, they all vaguely sensed the so-called destiny on their bodies.

Afterwards, the three of them traveled to the River of Time to explore the mysteries of destiny.

Only then did they realize that their fates had been predetermined by that person long ago.

So-called destiny is simply waiting to grow; those of them downstream in the long river of time have countless possibilities.

Destiny, on the other hand, is about actively doing one's best.

To put it simply...

That person had already paved the way for them with his own actions.

Everything was for the sake of fulfilling their great path.

After learning the truth, the three of them remained silent for a long time, at one point believing that the person was really dead.

If it weren't for that gift left by that person, she would have followed him long ago, regardless of everything.

Until a thousand years ago, the three of them met Bei Hanyue, the Lord of the Sky Patrol Palace, and once again sensed that obscure destiny. They also heard from Bei Hanyue about a similar experience to theirs, and only then did they realize that the person had not completely died.

Although the positions of the Twenty-Eight Mansions changed a few days ago, Feng Qingling even said in person that he had returned.

But that was just speculation.

But the obscure destiny before her was undeniable evidence, and in an instant, she was overwhelmed with emotion...

If Wei Wuxian were here and knew what fate had to do with being bound to a fairy, he would definitely say that he would never raise a fairy again in this life.

But unfortunately not if.

......

......

Seemingly oblivious to Tantai Yang's unusual behavior, the Sun-Shielding True Lord smiled and spoke.

"It was stolen. Like you, Yaoxing, I also succeeded in the Dao of Dispersal. Rather than saying that the foundation of the Great Dao was changed, it is more like that it was rebuilt. It's just that this time the fruit position truly belongs to me."

Even though she knew the other party was doing it on purpose, Tantai Yang couldn't think about that at the moment.

"You know what I'm talking about!" Tantai Yang's expression had turned cold.

"It's been thousands of years since we last met. I can't come empty-handed. I initially planned to disguise myself as that esteemed person to greet you..."

A murderous glint had already appeared in Tantai Yang's eyes.

"This child is named Qi Qianmo. She is the first woman that lord has seen since his return."

The Shadowless Monarch smiled and quickly explained, "It really was all a coincidence. I stayed here because I wanted to wait for you, Yaoxing. Who would have thought that I would be the first to meet that lord."

"As it happened, the child was passing by and started talking to that adult. I couldn't just ignore it, so I stole everything from the child."

"Just yesterday, this child's fate took a slight turn, so I'm here to see you as this child."

"Judging from your reaction, Yaoxing, it turns out that lord truly possesses some kind of predestined divine power. Is it the Law of Law? Or the Law of Time?"

"It's alright, it's alright."

The Shadowless Monarch patted his chest, seemingly still shaken, and said, "I didn't dare to have any designs on that lord."

The first and second generations of the Lord of Heaven were actually the same person.

Of course, Tantai Yang wouldn't reveal this secret.

She just didn't expect...

Has he returned from the underworld?

Beneath her robe, Tantai Yang lightly bit her lower lip, her eyes sparkling, her heart filled with countless emotions...

Suppressing her distracting thoughts, Tantai Yang regained her composure and began to consider the other party's purpose in appearing here.

First, he pretended to be Luo Huanxi, then he transformed into this child named Qi Qianmo, in order to observe her behavior and test and confirm Qin Mo's, or rather Li Jingming's, supernatural abilities.

But the other party also said that he stayed here to wait for her.

Qi Qianmo was an unexpected turn of events.

Therefore, the other party's real purpose was to come for her.

Did they calculate that she would separate from Feng Qingling and escape the Underworld...?

"As Fellow Daoist Tantai knows, I have no hostility towards you, Fellow Daoist Feng, or Fellow Daoist Huo. Although there have been some unpleasant incidents in the past, please believe me, those past events have nothing to do with me personally..."

"If I have caused you any displeasure, you are free to leave at any time, and you can certainly do whatever you want with this clone."

"But before that, let me tell you why I'm here."

"Fellow Daoist Tantai must know why neither of the two previous rulers of Heaven had ever truly conquered Heaven, right?"
