Chapter 777: Chapter 436: Gate of Tao! The Path to Immortality!_2

The Old Taoist calculated with his fingers and said in a low voice: "Did this Heavenly Gate Ancestor originally intend to make the Human Clan stronger?"

"He is a pure Celestial, once the inheritor of the Upper People’s lineage."

The Master of the Holy Alliance said: "This person believed that the common folk were like ants, that the Human Clan in the world was weak and feeble, and to avoid becoming the blood food of countless demons during the Deceit Night, they must become strong..."

"Strong humans often die in the Deceit Night because they protect the weak humans."

"So his philosophy is that the strong humans should abandon the weak humans."

"Bring together all the strong individuals of the Human Clan in one place, and abandon the ordinary humans as burdens, just like eliminating weaknesses."

"In this way, the pinnacle of Human strength would be united, forming a faction, becoming an extremely powerful race!"

"This race is the new Human Clan, thus called Celestial."

At this point, the Master of the Holy Alliance sighed: "He just wanted to abandon the weak humans and preserve the strongest among them! But his intention was not to exterminate the Human Clan..."

"Yet now, the Heavenly Gate has seen the Human Clan as an enemy."

"And within the Heavenly Gate, which was supposed to be based on the strong humans, now more so... are those once out of control Physical Body Evils, even true demons."

"These demons and evil spirits, along with the once Human Physical Body Evils, with the help of successive Heavenly Gate Masters, devoured a large number of humans, acquired flesh and blood, plundered souls, and concentrated consciousness."

"These created ’Celestials’ can only be considered demons with ’thoughts’."

"This has deviated from the original intention of the Heavenly Gate’s creation, completely departing from the path of the Heavenly Gate Ancestor."

The Master of the Holy Alliance slowly said: "I do not agree with the original intention of the Heavenly Gate’s creation, but I disagree even more with the current Heavenly Gate!"

The Old Taoist pondered and said: "This Heavenly Gate Ancestor who once suppressed the Holy Alliance also did not agree with the creation of the Holy Alliance!"

"But it does not prevent his aversion to the current Heavenly Gate."

The Master of the Holy Alliance slowly said: "The current Holy Alliance makes the Human Clan more stable, while the current Heavenly Gate is destroying the foundation of the Human Clan... even destroying the foundation of ’pure Celestials’!"

The Old Taoist suddenly realized and said: "The Heavenly Gate Ancestor and the predecessors of the Holy Alliance were originally mortal enemies with different philosophies! But the current Heavenly Gate, in the eyes of the Holy Alliance and the Heavenly Gate Ancestor, is the most intolerable enemy..."

"Indeed."

The Master of the Holy Alliance crossed his hands behind his back and said: "The original intention of the Heavenly Gate, too, was to ensure the survival of the Human Clan in an alternative way, just too extreme! But now the Heavenly Gate aims to destroy the Human Clan..."

The Old Taoist hesitantly said: "Is this what you think is the way to resolve this Heavenly Gate Ancestor?"

"Do not underestimate his philosophy."

The Master of the Holy Alliance sighed: "This person broke through the Extreme Heaven and had the potential to live a mere sixty years, but to suppress the Holy Alliance and strengthen the Heavenly Gate, he did not spare his life and exhausted all his abilities, leading to his premature demise..."

——

"This city was built with my shed body as the foundation."

The Heavenly Gate Ancestor slowly said: "Now I am about to perish, and this city has lost its foundation, there is no need for its existence."

He sighed and said: "These so-called ’Celestials’ have merely seized the nest, taken the foundation of my Celestial lineage, they deserve to die."

"They are nothing but some Physical Body Evils, how dare demons call themselves Celestials?"

"The Gate of Tao I obtained back then was not meant to be used in this way."

He turned his head slightly, looking at Lin Yan, and asked: "Back then, I inherited the lineage of the Upper People, handed down from the era of the First Human Emperor to this day! Do you know why I had to change and become a Celestial?"

Lin Yan thought for a moment and said: "Is it because you broke through the Extreme Heaven, far surpassing your predecessors, thus establishing a new lineage?"

"If that’s the case, then you underestimate me."

This Heavenly Gate Ancestor crossed his hands behind his back and said: "That year, I bathed in Dragon Blood, shattered the shackles, and broke through the Extreme Heaven! It was also that year that I pacified a Forbidden Land and obtained a fragment of a Supreme Treasure..."

He paused, looked at Lin Yan’s Night Illuminating Divine Sword, and the Nine Yang Bell, and said: "A treasure even more terrifying than the Nine Yang Bell, which is the supreme treasure of the palace."

Lin Yan did not respond, quietly listening to his voice.

The Heavenly Gate Patriarch continued to ask, "Have you heard of the Heavenly Talisman?"

Lin Yan was startled for a moment and said, "The one who obtains the Heavenly Talisman can become immortal, can achieve True Godhood... Could it be that the treasure you obtained is the Heavenly Talisman?"

"No!"

The Heavenly Gate Patriarch trembled as he said, "It is a Supreme Treasure capable of birthing the Heavenly Talisman!"

He couldn’t help but tremble, stepping forward half a step, saying, "It is a Supreme Treasure that can make one achieve Immortal Godhood! It is a treasure that can lead someone breaking the Ultimate Heaven on the final ’path’, a treasure comparable to Immortal Godhood!"

But the next moment, his eyes dimmed, and he said dejectedly, "Unfortunately, it is a fragment."

Lin Yan pondered and said, "So, the treasure you obtained makes you believe that the strong among the Human Clan can achieve Immortal Godhood in the future... So you all are about to become Celestials?"

The Heavenly Gate Patriarch’s eyes appeared increasingly excited.

He pointed towards the direction of Heavenly Gate City and said, "After the era of Deceit Night descended, the Immortal Gods slumbered, and future generations were unable to achieve the position of Immortal God... Even as powerful as the Human Emperor, they are limited before the threshold of Immortal Godhood!"

"All generations of predecessors speculated that the path to immortality has been severed."

"But this old man believes that this Supreme Treasure is the path to immortality, the gateway to the Gate of Tao!"

"This treasure is incomplete, so the path to cultivation is broken."

"I founded the Heavenly Gate to gather more strong individuals of the Human Clan, to absorb the Qi Mechanism of this treasure, and ultimately fill in the defects of this treasure!"

"Celestials are the materials to repair the Heavenly Gate!"

"As long as this treasure is repaired, our future generations of the Human Clan can achieve Immortal Godhood after the era of Deceit Night descends and dominate the world!"

The Heavenly Gate Patriarch’s eyes were excited as he said, "When that time comes, all Celestials will be sacrificed... As long as the last Celestial achieves the status of Immortal, they can sweep away all Evil!"

"..."

Lin Yan furrowed his brows, looking at the Patriarch of the Heavenly Gate, his feelings complex for a moment.

"But they are all ruined."

The Heavenly Gate Patriarch said dejectedly, "Today’s Celestials are no longer pure, they are all Physical Body Evils! They only taint the Gate of Tao, they only taint my Heavenly Gate..."

His expression darkened, and he said, "Conversely, the so-called Holy Alliance has surprisingly stabilized the Human Clan of this world."

"That Sixth Young Master of the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land mentioned that under the governance of the Holy Alliance, it is relatively stable."

"Even though in any era, in any prosperous city, there are those at the bottom, struggling for food and warmth, living difficult lives."

"But the choice of the Holy Alliance allowed more of the Human Clan to survive."

"And among those ordinary people, many strong individuals emerged."

"You, a Great Fate Teller, are also someone who emerged from the ordinary people."

He sighed and said with bitterness, "If the Heavenly Gate ruled, an ordinary person like you would have had no chance to rise during the obscure times! This means... the philosophy of my Heavenly Gate has lost to the Holy Alliance."

Lin Yan looked at the elder gradually revealing the air of twilight, saying nothing.

The Heavenly Gate Patriarch waved his hands.

Suddenly a large piece of text appeared in front of Lin Yan.

"This is the method of manipulating the Gate of Tao, a Magic Method that this old man created through years of research using the cultivation of breaking the Ultimate Heaven..."

The Heavenly Gate Patriarch looked at Lin Yan and said, "You possess great luck, the most hopeful existence of this generation of the Human Clan! If there is hope to repair the Heavenly Gate, it lies only with you..."

His expression was solemn as he said, "Whether you become a Saint Master of the Human Clan, or with powerful cultivation, become a Saint Master of the Celestials! This method of the Gate of Tao is presented to you!"

"Besides the two generations of the Human Emperor, there is more than one with great luck!"

Lin Yan said, "You teach me this method just because I obtained the great luck of this world?"

"The Sixth Young Master of the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land said you have great ambition!"
