Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!

Chapter 544: Chapter 312 6th Life: The Saint fears the cause, the common man fears the effect!

Great Yu City.

To verify his suspicions, Lu Yuan used the "Heaven’s Will" to once again strengthen his desire for acquiring resources.

The result came in less than half a day.

Yu Xiong visited again, handing over a large pile of cultivation resources to him.

According to Yu Xiong.

Ever since the Youyu Clan turned the tide and won the bet against the Celestial Fate Sect.

All the Desolate Clans were alarmed, using various means to inquire about Lu Yuan’s identity and background.

And this pile of resources was a gift those Desolate Clans actively sent to befriend Lu Yuan.

Looking at this large pile of resources, Lu Yuan fell into deep thought.

Because as "Heaven’s Will" took effect, more than a dozen Cause and Effect Threads appeared on him!

"It seems I was right; ’Heaven’s Will’ can make wishes come true, turning the impossible into possible."

"But as a price, every time I use this talent, I will bear some of the karmic consequence."

A glint of understanding flashed in Lu Yuan’s eyes.

Sages fear causes, mortals fear results.

The Law of Cause and Effect is one of the most mysterious powers in the world.

The stronger one’s power, the more they believe in the Celestial Mandate, and the more they avoid causes and effects.

Like those ancient sages with Daoist Perfection, who can see through the River of Time in one glance, tracing back to its source.

Before events even unfold, they would already know all the causes and effects.

So sages fear causes, and avoid them, unwilling to easily meddle with others’ fates.

In contrast, many ordinary people are ignorant and short-sighted, not crying until they see the coffin, their naked eyes seeing only what’s in front of them.

It’s only when things happen that they realize it is too late.

And while Lu Yuan’s "Heaven’s Will" seems to fulfill wishes and omnipotent.

In essence, it is simply forming today’s cause to reap tomorrow’s result, thereby solving the current problem.

"There is no free lunch in the world, sooner or later, you have to pay back what you owe."

Lu Yuan shook his head.

Cause and Effect is a cycle, retribution is inevitable.

Whether you are an ancient sage or a Celestial Deity.

As long as you’ve tied the knot of Cause and Effect, sooner or later, you’ll have to conclude it.

Otherwise, once the Karmic Force erupts, it will only cloud your Dao Heart with dust, creating Heart Demons, making it difficult to break through even a half-step for life!

But Lu Yuan was not afraid of this at all.

A true strong person does not believe in the Celestial Mandate!

He has gone through many reincarnations, often transcending cause and effect, standing above reincarnation, understanding the Law of Cause and Effect far more than others.

Those ancient sages were simply not powerful enough themselves, therefore fearing the so-called retribution!

It’s like when you only have ten coins, you’re constantly worried about creditors coming to you, unable to sleep peacefully every day.

But if you own five lakes and four seas, and can decide the fate of billions with one word.

The creditor will be the one living in fear day and night, fearing you will trouble him!

This means.

As long as one’s power is strong enough to stand above this realm.

Even if causes and effects are upon me, even if reincarnations collapse, I will exist eternally, immortal!

"Retribution is like a sword hanging yet to fall, but to me, it’s also a motivation to quickly improve my power."

"It serves nicely as a constant reminder, keeping me from slacking off the slightest bit."

Lu Yuan gazed calmly, understanding the intricacies within.

As long as he elevates his power quickly enough, there’s no need to worry about Karmic Force!

In the upcoming time, Lu Yuan continued to immerse himself in cultivation.

Day and night he observed the Five Elements Treasures, imprinting the Dao Marks of the Five Elements Law into his flesh and blood, bones and viscera, making himself increasingly powerful.

While he was immersed in cultivation, the outside world was in an uproar!

Half a month ago, with the news of Hong Zhen’s failure reaching the Great Court Country.

The Great Court Monarch was thunderously enraged, sparing no effort, gathering millions of troops, determined to flatten the Great Wilderness in one fell swoop!

The army was at the gates, pressing in on the borders.

All the Great Wilderness Tribes, upon hearing this, were filled with panic and their hearts grew heavy.

One must know the Great Wilderness is resource-scarce, some small tribes haven’t even solved the most basic problems of food and clothing.

On the other hand, the Great Court boasts a strong and vigorous army, well-equipped, with a court full of strong persons, and abundant promising youths.

Should a war break out, these Great Wilderness tribes stand no chance against the elite of the Great Court.

And this is indeed the case.

Once the Great Court’s million elite were assembled.

The next morning.

The first ray of dawn broke through the darkness, illuminating this barbaric wilderness.

At the same time.

With the sound of war drums echoing like thunder, the massive dragon-embellished city gates opened with a rumbling noise.

Tens of thousands of Great Court Heavy Cavalry, clad in armor and riding tall horses, stirred up a sky full of dust, rushing into the Great Wilderness like a tide!

These Great Court Heavy Cavalry were all elite, one in a thousand, with the weakest possessing Inscription Realm cultivation.

Their war horses were robust and vigorous, with astonishing stamina, nurtured carefully by the Great Court and were powerful breeds.

Even a trek of a hundred thousand miles a day poses no problem!

Not to mention.

They were well-trained, coordinating seamlessly with their horses, achieving unity with them.

If the entire Great Court Heavy Cavalry were to charge together, they could destroy a medium-sized tribe of ten thousand people in an instant!

And this was only the vanguard of the Great Court Country!

Following the tens of thousands of Great Court Heavy Cavalry were thousands of giants.

These giants were massive, towering a thousand feet tall, their bodies as large as mountains.

When they moved, the ground trembled beneath them.

Additionally, patches of black scales grew on their skin surface.

They appeared like an impenetrable armor, giving them terrifying defense, and even Qi Refiners of the Divine Bridge Realm would find it hard to pose any significant threat!

They bore slave seals on their faces, bound with thick chains, slowly dragging massive chariots forward, producing a clattering noise as they moved.

They cleared paths through mountains and built bridges over rivers.

Even the most rugged and perilous mountain roads were as smooth as level ground to them!

Long Bo Country!

The Ancient Giant Race!

According to legend, in Ancient Times.

To the east of the Bohai Sea, there is a great abyss named Guixu, containing five Immortal Mountains within.

These five Immortal Mountains have no foundation, floating daily on the sea surface, drifting with the waves.

The Celestial Emperor, knowing this, worried the Immortal Mountains might drift overseas, thus he commanded fifteen giant sea turtles to take turns carrying the mountains to keep them stationary.

However, there was a giant in Long Bo Country who, upon hearing this news, went to Guixu, took a fishing rod, and using Exotic Treasures as bait, managed to catch six of those giant sea turtles in one go.

This led to the disappearance of Daiyu and Yuanqiao Mountains, eventually sinking into the sea.

The Celestial Emperor, in a fury, degraded all the people of Long Bo Country to slaves, condemned to servitude for generations.

And the giants of Great Court Country are descendants of Long Bo Country.

Besides that.

Following behind the giants was a Great Court Army numbering in the millions.

A massive dark mass, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Though these soldiers were not as elite as the Great Court Heavy Cavalry, most had long been battle-hardened, their bodies brimming with a pervasive aura of slaughter.

When their scarlet Evil Qi coalesced, it almost became tangible, turning the world itself pale!

Above the army.

Were warships and tower ships filled with Pill Masters and Qi Refiners.

Flags obscured the sky, like dark clouds pressing down, making it hard to breathe!

What drove the Desolate Qi Refiner to despair even more was.

At the foremost tower ship of the army.

Stood a figure in armor, towering like a God and Demon, standing with hands behind his back at the bow, looking indifferently at the barren land beneath.

Behind him stood more than ten Ascension Realm powerhouses.

These Ascension Realm powerhouses exuded an intensely terrifying aura, seemingly ready to shatter the void and ascend to the Upper Realm at any moment.

But even among such beings, none dared to stand shoulder to shoulder with that towering figure.

Because he was none other than the Lord of Zhenhuang City, the foremost power of Great Court Country!

Marquis Zhenhuang, Tingyuan Sect!

As everyone knew.

The Grand Ancestor of the Great Court, with the world in his heart, upon his first ascent to the throne, prayed for the blessing of all beings and sought the Ascension Technique from the Celestial Deities.

Since then.

Everyone had the chance to touch immortality, becoming like dragons.

However, while the Ascension Technique was easy to learn, mastering it was difficult.

Despite its rapid cultivation speed, it often led to unstable foundations, leaving one’s combat power hollow.

Therefore, in the same realm.

The power of Desolate Qi Refiner was often slightly superior to that of Great Court Qi Refiner.

Yet, Tingyuan Sect was a unique anomaly.

Born with Innate Divine Power, he was in the Qi Refining Realm from birth.

At three, he self-taught, visualizing the Celestial Deities, and gleaned a trace of immortal divinity!

At five, he consolidated his divine embryo; at eight, achieved Inscription Realm Perfection, and by ten, he was already a world-renowned Divine Bridge Realm powerhouse!

A hundred years ago, he was already invincible in Great Court Country, eligible to ascend to the Upper Realm.

Yet, he remained steadfastly loyal to the Great Court Royal Family, willingly giving up ascension to guard the frontier.

No one knew the extent of his power.

People only knew.

Decades ago, when chaos erupted in the Great Wilderness, barbarians attacked the gates.

Five Ascension Realm powerhouses attacked together, storming Zhenhuang City.

As the city seemed on the verge of falling.

Tingyuan Sect stood alone against five, forcefully slaying two powerhouses.

He then ventured alone into the depths of the Great Wilderness, crushing hundreds of medium-sized tribes, quelling the turmoil by himself!

After this battle.

His status among all Great Court Qi Refiners became godlike.

Even the Ascension Realm powerhouses revered him greatly.

However, those spies in the distant Great Wilderness, seeing that towering figure.

Turned pale with fear, their hearts filled with despair.

Tingyuan Sect, as the foremost power of Great Court Country, was a national treasure, rarely acting.

But when he did, it inevitably led to a cataclysmic slaughter, even Ascension Realm powerhouses would fall!

Meanwhile.

This news quickly spread among the major tribes.

When Yu Xiong heard of it, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, chilled to the bone.

Over ten thousand heavy cavalry, a million soldiers as fierce as tigers and wolves, and thousands of Great Court strong persons!

Such force alone could flatten an Ancient Clan.

Although the Youyu Clan was one of the Six Great Super Tribes, they had long suffered from the oppression of fate.

Now weakened, what could they possibly use to resist the million-strong army of the Great Court?

Not to mention.

This army was personally overseen by Tingyuan Sect!

Thinking of the terrifying power of this Marquis Zhenhuang, Yu Xiong felt a chill from within, shivering involuntarily.

It wasn’t just him.

The other Ancient Clans’ expressions turned extremely grim, well aware of the severity of the situation.

This was different from past skirmishes; the Great Court Monarch was truly enraged this time, determined to overcome all obstacles.

If the Great Wilderness couldn’t withstand it.

These Ancient Clans that had lasted hundreds of thousands of years might be wiped from history!
