Du Gang disregarded Kou Yingwu, lost in a deeper question.

Why did the Heavenly Court place him in this world?

Knowing that he was clearly a pawn of the Heavenly Dao, and could possibly be entrusted with great expectations, he was no longer naive enough to consider himself a minor character.

At least, he was far more important than he had imagined.

There were two possibilities. One was coincidence; the Heavenly Court randomly chose this world. The second, there was a certain intent behind the choice.

As he pondered why the Heavenly Court had placed him in this world, he already had the answer in his heart.

“Is it to let me grow… to learn something?!”

Du Gang muttered to himself.

He deliberated what he could gain from this world.

Simply promoting to a Celestial God?!

It’s not that simple!

Unconscious, he watched the distant fight, his eyes suddenly shining, a thought occurred to him.

The gate of the Triple Burner!

With the body, the spirit, and the energy as primaries, to promote, one needs to achieve a certain balance among these three aspects.

Was the Heavenly Court trying to tell him, through this method, to learn the way of balance in this world?!

Did he need to find a technique?

Du Gang was taken aback and quickly shook his head. If it was that simple, they wouldn’t have taken him as an experiment.

The technique, obviously, wouldn’t have an effect, at least, it is ineffective to him.

Therefore, the main purpose of the Heavenly Court sending him here… is the way of thinking!

“Huh huh!!”

Du Gang exhaled slowly.

At this point, he finally understood the implied meaning of the Heavenly Court.

Judging by the Heavenly Court’s reliance on the Heavenly Dao, he was completely aware of his strength after his transformation, was confident that he could pass the test perfectly… even more outrageously, he could assign himself some weaker opponents.

Ha ha!

Du Gang burst out laughing abruptly. He realized for the first time that this so-called task world was merely a means for the Heavenly Court to help him grow.

Each previous task world, whether red or green, held a certain meaning.

Either through the task or via certain people, it told him or subtly changed some of his views.

Such as thinking ability, analytical skill etcetera, the attributes he seldom used in the past, but was constantly employing in the task worlds, causing his current personality to become much more settled.

Moreover, after he steered off course in recognizing his power, the Heavenly Court deliberately arranged opponents for him, Wu Long, that guy who attracted Wu Yang…

If the crisis of Wu Yang were not there, it might have taken him a long time to realize that he went astray.

The existence of Wu Yang enabled him to reconnect with the Ancient City and simultaneously retrieve the method of utilizing the body and power of the Ancient God.

So, this time…

Narrowing his eyes, Du Gang slowly reasoned a nearly confirmed answer.

“Balance!”

The Heavenly Court, or rather, the Heavenly Dao, has not found a way to completely integrate the power of the Ancient God, the soul of the Ancient God, and the body of the Ancient God, to achieve the effect of a two-digit number when three become one.

Hence, they needed to communicate this to him through this way, the way of balance. And this balance can only be attempted and practiced by him personally. Any other means might mislead him.

I understand it now!

At this moment, Du Gang finally saw through the fog. The things that troubled him before have also become clear.

The so-called Ancient Demon and Butian Pavilion, to the Heavenly Dao, are insignificant. Even these factions could possibly be sharpening stones reserved by the Heavenly Dao for him.

“Hahaha!”

Du Gang couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

He trusted his judgement that everything is correct.

“Du Gang!”

Beside him, Kou Yingwu quickly pulled him over and whispered, “What are you doing?!”

Du Gang suppressed his laughter, looking at the three worried people around him, waved his hand, and smiled, “Nothing, I just figured out something that’s been bothering me!”

Indeed, before this, he had no one to rely on. Despite his affiliation with the Ancient City, he always felt that these people had some kind of hidden agenda and was hesitant to fully trust them. Even in order to secure potential contingencies, he decided to compromise, marrying Zhang Xinyi to gain a God King-level father-in-law…

But now, everything has come to light.

He, Du Gang, is the secret weapon left by Pangu, the savior recognized by the Heavenly Dao.

This means his backing is not the God Clan or the Fourty-five Schools, but the Heavenly Dao!

With the Heavenly Dao as his backing, anyone would be compelled to burst into laughter.

Fortunately, his lapse was momentary, and he quickly regained his calm.

Fortunately, on the battlefield ahead, the Reincarnators and many Emperors were already in fierce combat, completely ignoring anything else. Even if they heard the laughter from this side, they likely wouldn’t bother.

Seeing Du Gang back to normal, Kou Yingwu hastily asked, “Du Gang, what happened just now?”

His eyes sparkled with excitement, “Did you find a way to defeat the Heavenly Emperor?!”

Du Gang grinned and slowly said, “Not exactly, but I just thought of something more interesting…”

He shook his head and said, “You guys should sever the bond left in the Source Land!”

“What?!”

The three were taken aback, looking at him in confusion.

Du Gang rolled his eyes, “You actually plan to walk down the Emperor’s path?”

“The projection of the Dao into the Source Land was only to complete the task. Now, our task has been completed, if the Dao isn’t severed, are we just waiting for our cultivation to decline?!”

Kou Yingwu frowned, “But directly severing it will also cause a decline in cultivation, wouldn’t it?!”

Now he is considered an ‘Emperor’, although it’s only within this world’s realm, it is still five to six times stronger than a breakthrough in the ninth stage. If it were to fall like this, wouldn’t it be even more difficult to complete the mission?!

“Hehe!”

Du Gang chuckled, “Did you guys notice that those guys in the broken Eight stage have disappeared?!”

“Broken Eight?!”

Kou Yingwu turned his head and indeed, previously, Fang Ping and others had disappeared without a trace.

He looked nonchalant, “They’re just a bunch of Eight Stages, not even in the Breakthrough Nine Stage. If they disappeared, they definitely ran away. They couldn’t possibly turn the tide, could they?!”

Du Gang smiled again, if he hadn’t read the novel, he wouldn’t be so worried.

But the problem is, he has read part of it, knew Fang Ping is the main character, particularly bothersome.

Additionally, the Heavenly Court sending him here despite knowing that he knows part of the plot line, implicitly tells him some of the potential events that might occur.

That is, Fang Ping will stir up trouble.

And from the current situation, given the strength of Fang Ping and their group of Broken Eight Stages, they certainly can’t duke it out upfront, meaning the only thing they can do is to play dirty.

What kind of trick could hurt a group of Broken Nine Stages and Emperors?!

“The destruction of the Source Land?!”

At this time, Tao Xuanzhu exclaimed in shock.

She never stopped learning, and it only took a hint from Du Gang for her to guess the key point.

“That’s right!”

Du Gang cut off his own bond with the Source Land as he nodded and confirmed, “Only by doing so can they infiltrate…”

“How is that possible? They are nothing but a group of Weak Eights, and among the over 200 emperors present, none would allow them to destroy the Source Land!”

Kou Yingwu was still very puzzled.

At this moment, Du Gang had severed his bond, and his presence rapidly decreased, dropping to the level of Weak Nine in just a short while.

Seeing how resolute he was in severing his bond and giving up the Emperor’s Fruit, the other three did not hesitate and followed suit, cutting off their own bonds with their Emperor.

This kind of trust had been cultivated from a long time ago. Even though there was a power difference of seven to eight times between the Emperor and Weak Nine, the three of them still chose to believe in Du Gang without any hesitation.

Seeing this scene, Du Gang felt comforted. He nodded in appreciation and smiled without saying a word.

He didn’t have the means to explain to these people that the Child of Destiny was bound to participate, indeed?!

Although he had not finished reading the novel, and not even read half of it, he was certain that the Child of Destiny would certainly take part in significant events, especially now that he had obviously reached the late stages.

Would the massive melee of over two hundred emperors count as a significant event?

Was Fang Ping, the protagonist of the original world, only a minor character?

Impossible!

He was certain, be it destiny or fortune, Fang Ping would not just degenerate in this world. Therefore, in this world, even if there was none in the past, there would certainly be a method now that would be conveniently discovered by Fang Ping. Through a different approach, it would be possible to destroy the Source Land.

Even if they couldn’t completely destroy it, these Emperors and Reincarnators would greatly decrease in power.

Moreover, it wasn’t in the way they willingly cut their own cultivation and gave up the Emperor’s Fruit, as the loss from doing so would be smaller, and they could still maintain their strength at the Weak Nine level.

However, if the ability to cut the Emperor’s fruit was forced upon them through Fang Ping’s method, the loss of power would be more substantial.

“What do we do now?!”

Kou Yingwu felt that he had been able to predict to a certain extent previously, but now he was at a complete loss.

He was clueless about what strategy Du Gang had, or more accurately, he had no idea what trick these Weak Eights could pull to destroy the Source Land, ultimately resulting in these over two hundred Emperors suffering?!!

“Wait!”

Du Gang played the role of a sage, acting as if he were posing a riddle. He understood but did not reveal the answer.

The three of them were extremely curious, as if a bug was tickling their hearts.

This time, even Tao Xuanzhu was sans the slightest speculation.

She sighed, “The gap between me and the captain is getting wider and wider. Now, I can’t even guess his thoughts, let alone come up with any assumptions!”

It wasn’t because she was foolish, but rather a matter of asymmetric information. She believed that everyone was stepping into task worlds for the first time.

However, in reality, Du Gang had covert knowledge about this world, such as the fact that Fang Ping was the protagonist.

Nobody else could see this. Everyone could only see Fang Ping being a human with considerable talent.

A piece of information could indeed bring about drastically different results.

In this way, the four of them watched the distant melee and waited quietly.

Time passed by slowly.

Just as everyone was getting impatient, there was a sudden shake in the heavens and the earth.

It was as if the sky was breaking and the earth was splitting. The entire Source Land was undergoing a huge upheaval.

“What’s happening?!”

Far away, many Emperors were forced to halt their attacks, looking at this sudden change in panic.

At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor’s face changed and he yelled, sprinting in a certain direction.

Seeing his movement, the others held back their astonishment and curiosity, hurriedly following suit.

Not just the Emperors, even Du Gang and the others silently followed.

Heavenly Emperor didn’t care about the gazes of others and continued to run, descending crazily through the Source Land.

He descended from the thirty-sixth layer of the Source Land to the twelfth layer. Just as he was about to go further down, all of a sudden, all the Emperors felt a jolt of heart palpitations, halting their steps.

“What’s happening?!”

The Human Emperor and God Emperor appeared helpless and confused, turning to Heavenly Emperor for answers.

It wasn’t just them, even the reincarnators who were fighting fiercely were also panicked and turned to look at Heavenly Emperor.

The look on the Heavenly Emperor’s face was one of anger mixed with despair. He gritted his teeth and said, “The Seed has acted, it sealed off the passage between the Source Land and reality!”

His words weren’t fully out when everyone’s powers started to plummet.

“Splutter!”

“Splutter!”

“Splutter!”

At the same moment, everyone couldn’t control themselves and ended up coughing up mouthfuls of fresh blood.

Every Emperor’s combat level plunged, falling down to Weak Nine, and it didn’t stop there, continuing to fall to Weak Eight. They only just managed to stabilize themselves there.

“Damn, I’ve fallen to Weak Eight…”

“How can this be?!”

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded, including the old Emperors like Heavenly Emperor and all the Reincarnators.

“Hahaha!”

Just then, a deafening voice echoed.

The voice resounded through the heavens and the earth, spreading in all directions. Moreover, a colossal figure that blotted out the sky appeared at the top of the sky.

“Fang Ping?!”

Heavenly Emperor looked at the figure that had appeared in anger, “It’s an illusion, a projection… the only one who can do such a thing… he must be with the Seed now!”

Everyone was bewildered, wondering why Fang Ping would be with the Seed and why would the Seed help him?!

Fang Ping, hands on his hips, laughed, “You guys are a troublesome lot, all of you are strong and lack martial ethics! It’s best if you stay in the Source Land forever!”

Heavenly Emperor saw this but frowned, ignoring him. Instead, he looked around, spinning around in different directions while shouting aloud:

“Seed, you’ve severed the connection between the Source Land and the real world. This means your power will also disappear, at least, the power of Original Way will disappear. This means your efforts of forty thousand years have gone to waste, are you willing to accept this?!”

He knew that Fang Ping couldn’t do all this and was trying to convince the Seed.

At this moment, the other Emperors and even the Reincarnators didn’t make a move but watched Heavenly Emperor’s actions instead.

Fang Ping sneered, “You are all plotting against the Seed, do you think he will let you go?!”

Heavenly Emperor didn’t give in, “Seed, we have no grudges against you, we can discuss everything. We can even send people into the Source Land to fill the void so you can complete your mission…”

“Hahaha!”

Fang Ping interrupted him mid-sentence, laughing, “There’s no need for that. I have already found a new Source Land for the Seed. You guys can stay in the Source Land forever and never come out!”
