This Young Master is not Cannon Fodder-Chapter 710: The Heavenly Dao’s Plea

When the Abyss Piercer System struck the Nine Hells System, Tianyi immediately sensed it. Tianyi knew he was stirring up a hornet’s nest with his actions, but even if the All Pantheon Alliance traced the event back to him, he wouldn’t be afraid. As the source of the All Pantheon Alliance’s inter-universe teleportation network, he held a crucial position, equal to or even greater than the alliance leader.

That said, it wasn’t like there wouldn’t be consequences. The All Pantheon Alliance would punish the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System if the alliance couldn’t punish him. And they would definitely try to create their own inter-universe teleportation network. There was no doubt they were already working on it, but they would increase their investment.

However, Tianyi didn’t create this bug-like inter-universe teleportation network through the Law of Spacetime but through his inner universe, so even if the other pantheons had a divinity skilled in the Law of Spacetime or the Law of Space, they would not be able to replicate it.

Even Tianyi had trouble preparing a substitute for the inter-universe teleportation network. He invested a considerable amount of material and foundation into a new system. The new system could not produce new life nor naturally sustain life. Its sole purpose was to maintain the inter-universe teleportation network, so it was called the Inter-Universe Teleportation Network Heart System.

“Something on your mind, Father?” Yinian asked.

The family had returned to their home system hundreds of years ago. Under Daoyi’s deliberate arrangement, Tianyi and Yinian spent more time alone. Although Yinian wouldn’t run away because it was Daoyi’s intention, don’t expect him to speak up first. And Tianyi was filled with hesitation, making the progress between the two extremely slow, but that didn’t mean the distance between them didn’t shorten.

“It’s nothing,” Tianyi said with a melancholic shake of his head. He turned and stared at Yinian, as if to engrave that image into his very soul.

At first, Yinian could still pretend not to see it, but as time passed, his father’s stare unnerved him more and more. Finally, he couldn’t resist shivering. “Stop! What are you doing, staring at me like an old priest at young flesh?”

Before Yinian could even sense it, Tianyi’s hand slapped his forehead. “What kind of son speaks to their father that way?”

“What kind of father stares at their son like that?” Yinian countered. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

“The kind of father who—!” Tianyi’s words stopped, caught in his throat. He couldn’t say the kind of father who might never see their son again, right?

Like Yinian, Tianyi stayed silent for a while before replying, “Alright, go back to the Temple of Death. I’m going to do something big, and your presence is going to disturb me.”

Yinian rolled his eyes. “Do something big? All I see you doing is slacking off and enjoying life.”

He walked into the portal that Tianyi opened, leaving the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System. The moment he disappeared, Daoyi appeared.

“You’re still here? You should leave,” Tianyi said.

“I’m not like Yinian. I’m a divinity. Even if he awakens, I can still flee into the True Nothingness,” Daoyi said. She walked until she was shoulder to shoulder with Tianyi. “This is your last chance. You can still stop now.”

Tianyi did not answer and stared at the sky instead. “It’s too late. I’ve already started.”

Outside the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System, the Spacetime Divine System hovered outside its boundary. The two systems’ territories would touch once it moved closer, but the Spacetime Divine System remained still, as if awaiting something.

At this moment, three smaller systems, each one a twentieth of the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System’s size, exited the Spacetime Divine System. They circled the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System’s perimeter until they were spaced equally apart.

Unlike the Spacetime Divine System, these three smaller systems plunged into the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System without an ounce of hesitation. The moment they moved, Tianyi had already dissipated his control and influence over them, returning them to normal systems from divine systems. He didn’t want the Heavenly Dao to get used to his aura or methods.

At first, the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System did not show any reaction, as if the three foreign systems were mere specks unworthy of its attention. That all changed when the last edge of the three systems completely entered.

The Three Thousand Immortal Realms System sprang upon the three systems like a predator that had finally revealed itself. Akin to a lion, the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System used all its might to attack and devour the three foreign systems.

The three foreign systems froze at the outer fringes of the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System. Because Tianyi released his control over them, they had not formed World Wills yet, but the three systems could instinctively sense danger. So they resisted with all their might, but it was akin to a puppy trying to resist an adult bear. The foreign systems were lambs for the slaughter, lambs that the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System happily devoured.

The powerful divinities within the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System sensed the Heavenly Dao’s joy. Except for them, only those immortal sovereigns with abnormally powerful instincts or senses detected the changes in the air, but they couldn’t discern the specifics.

A violator who trampled upon the Heavenly Dao’s rules and was punished by heavenly judgment did not have his soul destroyed and was sent to the Six Paths of Samsara. A cultivator who had no hope of transcending his Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation suddenly sensed the weakening power of the tribulation and broke through, successfully reaching the coveted Immortal Realm.

Many such miracles occurred throughout the Three Thousand Immortal Realms. Mortals who received such grace knelt and thanked the heavens for their benevolence.

However, it did not last long.

After the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System devoured about twenty to thirty percent of each foreign system, the devouring came to a screeching halt. Contrary to its initial happiness, the Heavenly Dao wanted to expel the foreign systems from its domain, but the three systems were like sticky mucus, clinging and refusing to leave. Not only that, but the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System showed symptoms reminiscent of food poisoning.

Although the three foreign systems injected new worldly laws and energy into the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System, their inclusion was actually detrimental in the short term, akin to a virus within a human body. It was for this reason that he had not fused these systems with the Spacetime Divine System.

And now, these defective systems became one of Tianyi’s aids against the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System.

He didn’t immediately take action and allowed the Heavenly Dao to choke a bit more on the three foreign systems. Of course, he didn’t wait too long.

The Spacetime Divine System moved. Its boundaries overlapped with the edge of the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System. Unlike the previous three foreign systems, the Heavenly Dao’s reaction was instant.

The mortals instinctively felt an ominous feeling in their hearts, while the powerful cultivators sensed heaven and earth changing. Only they didn’t know whether it was a good or bad change, so they could only protect themselves and wait for the changes to occur.

The Heavenly Immortal Court had already taken action. All their members had returned to the Primordial Realm, and their many Descending Immortal Embassies had returned as well. They also sealed off the Primordial Realm, preventing influence from the Vast Void and the Heavenly Dao. Such actions had a price, but Tianyi footed the bill and then some.

The Spacetime Divine System ignored the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System’s resistance and charged forth. As evident by its name, the Spacetime Divine System could travel through space and time itself, meaning that even if the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System already occupied the place, it could simply appear in a different layer to contest for hegemony. The Three Thousand Immortal Realms System also had the Law of Spacetime, but a World Will like the Heavenly Dao could not utilize it effectively, allowing Tianyi to gain the upper hand in spacetime.

It was slow progress, and the years slipped away like sand. Finally, when the Spacetime Divine System touched the heart of the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System, it materialized. The superimposition of two systems caused the affected spacetime to distort and even implode.

Land from the Spacetime Divine System and realms from the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System suffered. The land shattered and fell into the Vast Void. The realms twisted and stretched, torn apart by the spatial distortions, becoming mere debris in the cold void. Almost all the denizens inside the realms died. Some died earlier than others, while a few persisted only to fall to inevitability. Only an extremely select few experienced miracles that allowed them to survive in the Vast Void, but whether that miracle could last remained unknown.

Tianyi started Chaos Fusion.

The moment it started, cracks appeared in the skies of every realm. It wasn’t just the sky of each realm; it extended even into the Vast Void. Any cultivator who saw this would sense an unprecedented clarity regarding the elusive worldly laws. Even the revealed laws when the Divine Beast-Pseudo System merged with the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System could not compare.

However, no cultivator had the mind to enjoy this feast. They were more concerned about stabilizing the realms they inhabited or saving their lives.

Tianyi had no mind to pay attention because the struggle against Pangu had already begun. He faced immense opposition, and Pangu had not even awakened yet. His willpower could overpower the Heavenly Dao, but it was strenuous. The Heavenly Dao wasn’t as resilient as Tengri, but it was far vaster. In a way, it reminded Tianyi of himself.

Because of the vastness, Tianyi could only grit his teeth and continue this tug-of-war. Furthermore, he could sense something deeper. If the Heavenly Dao were a vast sea, then there was something solid underneath that was as immovable as a planet. Stripping away the sea would only summon forth an even greater foe.

Still, Tianyi was not one to give up, especially since the current cost of failure was only the loss of the Spacetime Divine System. Restoring it might take another hundred thousand years, or perhaps even longer, but it was not something irrevocable for him.

Only when he staked his Nine Heavens Universe could it truly be considered an all-out effort. For now, he bided his time.

Tianyi gradually gained ground. It was a slow, tiresome process that placed a heavy burden on the mind. Thankfully, the experience of conquering many systems served Tianyi well, allowing him to ease the burden to the lightest possible amount.

Suddenly, a disdainful smile appeared on Tianyi’s face. He stood still on Nine Heavens Peak in the Primordial Realm. He overlooked the entire realm, but his eyes gazed into the void beyond the dimensional boundary.

The Concealed Emperor and Perfected Huanglong had just contacted him. The Heavenly Dao had messaged them, asking them to stop him. As long as they succeeded, rich rewards awaited them. However, when the reward they sought was the release of Mengfei from the Heavenly Dao’s control, it rejected them.

“Since you’re feeling the pressure, let’s add more.”

Without warning, three figures exactly like Tianyi appeared in the Spacetime Divine System. They exited and entered the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System. Immediately after, a silver and gold world erupted from their bodies.

It was the Spacetime Divine World. The three figures were the divine conduits Tianyi had prepared beforehand. He planned on taking a multi-pronged attack against the Heavenly Dao.

He could hear the Heavenly Dao’s phantom wail but showed no mercy. When the phantom Spacetime Divine Worlds expanded to their maximum limit, he materialized them. Now, the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System had to deal with the three virus-like foreign systems, the Spacetime Divine System’s encroachment, and now three divinities attempting to conquer it.

The sea that was the Heavenly Dao was disappearing at a rapid rate. Not to say that Tianyi did not feel the strain. Aside from the three foreign systems, the addition of three divine conduits also placed a considerable strain on his mind.

Tianyi gritted his teeth. “Still not showing up. In that case—”

His words stopped as a three-colored pillar of light erupted from Eminence Heaven Palace. At the center of that light was the Heavenly Empress, Xi Mengfei, and she was staring straight at him, a divine mirror floating beside her.

The Heavenly Empress raised her hand, and the Heaven Seal appeared. She clenched it, wrapping her dainty and delicate hand around the seal, from which a divine sword appeared. Sword in hand, she charged at Tianyi.
