Chapter 607 509: The Heavenly Dao Will Willingly Sacrifices Itself
"I never imagined that this relic was actually your handiwork?"
"Previously, I was curious. According to what Luo Hao said, this relic never existed before; it only appeared suddenly several thousand years ago. At that time, I couldn't fathom who could possess such great power. But seeing you now, everything is clear."
"Only you could construct such a relic."
Looking at the phantom figure in front of him, Zhao Yi was surprised that, in navigating the relic, the final entity he encountered was the Heavenly Dao Will of this world.
Beside it stood the stone tablet Luo Hao had mentioned earlier.
The Heavenly Dao Will of the High Martial World spoke calmly: "Indeed, I constructed this. This relic not only contains the stone tablet that can aid in condensing a clone, but there is also a gift from me to you inside."
A gift?
Zhao Yi looked at the Heavenly Dao Will, his eyes filled with suspicion.
The Heavenly Dao Will continued: "From the moment you entered the High Martial World, I sensed your presence, especially noting the Law of Judgement within you, which confirmed my previous conjectures."
Speaking, he seemed somewhat melancholic: "The Law of Judgement, one of the top ten laws among the Three Thousand Worlds, allows judgment on all enemies within the rules. For you to have obtained such a law so easily seems rather effortless. If it hadn't willingly given it to you, how could you have comprehended it so easily?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi recalled how unnaturally smooth his comprehension of the Law of Judgement had been.
It's important to note that previously, to comprehend the Time Law, he had faced life and death situations, traversing different temporal nodes within the River of Time and nearly perishing.
Yet, as for the equally powerful Law of Judgement, although not as strong as the Time Law, he merely completed a few games in the Game World, and the Law of Judgement was granted to him as a reward?
This seemed quite illogical.
At that moment, the Heavenly Dao Will of the High Martial World smiled and then said: "As it happens, that being is an old friend of mine. Our thoughts align most closely among the Heavenly Dao Wills of the Three Thousand Worlds. Seeing the Law of Judgement with you now suggests he's met with misfortune, doesn't it?"
When Zhao Yi heard this, he abruptly questioned: "Are you talking about the Heavenly Dao Will of the Game World?"
The figure before him slowly nodded: "Yes, without the Heavenly Dao Will's gift, how could you possibly have acquired the Law of Judgement so easily?"
"However, the Law of Judgement is the most powerful law of the Game World. After granting it to you, I suppose most of his strength was lost, making it impossible to resist the Nether Tree's devouring."
Zhao Yi asked: "It seems you Heavenly Dao Wills are aware of the Nether Tree's existence?"
"Of course, some Heavenly Dao Wills are indeed aware, and we know of your existence as well. But there's no point in saying more. When the time comes, you'll naturally understand why we chose you."
"Now, the method to condense a clone is in front of you. Once you comprehend it, I will also bestow upon you a great gift."
"Moreover, in my perception, the Nether Tree is approaching. Before it arrives, you need to leave. The Nether Tree is already searching for you. As you are now, you're far too weak; encountering the Nether Tree would mean certain death."
After the Heavenly Dao Will finished speaking, it leaned against the stone tablet and spoke no more.
Zhao Yi took a deep breath. Although many mysteries remained unsolved, he knew the Heavenly Dao Will was right; he was no match for the Nether Tree as he was.
At present.
He must first cultivate his clone.
As he sat in front of the stone tablet and attempted to comprehend it, a soft white light suddenly appeared on the stone tablet. Immediately, the cultivation technique related to creating a clone flowed into his mind.
Though unnamed, the content differed slightly from the cultivation technique Luo Hao had documented.
However, the recorded content near the end surprisingly indicated that to make the clone equally strong as the original body, a certain indispensable thing was indeed required.
He looked bewildered, seemingly incredulous.
If the cultivation technique's claim was true, it was utterly unfathomable.
The Heavenly Dao Will of the High Martial World stepped forward slowly, and upon seeing Zhao Yi's expression, said indifferently: "It seems that you already understand. The cultivation technique recorded here is merely the most basic method for condensing a clone and is not particularly profound."
"But the last part is the key."
Zhao Yi was taken aback, responding: "Are you saying that it truly requires a Heavenly Dao Will as the furnace, to then condense a clone capable of fully mastering a world's laws or perhaps all living things?"
The Heavenly Dao Will replied: "Yes, go ahead and cultivate. When you reach the final step, I will sacrifice myself to become your clone."
Zhao Yi asked: "Why?"
First, the Heavenly Dao Will of the Game World willingly separated the Law of Judgement as a gift, and then, the Heavenly Dao Will of the High Martial World was willing to sacrifice itself just so his clone could be even stronger.
Upon hearing his question, the Heavenly Dao Will of the High Martial World responded solemnly: "No need to ask further; this is my choice!"
"When a cosmos reaches its end, whether to destroy all to rebuild anew or to search for new hope, is simply a choice everyone must make."
"Since we chose you, it means you are our new hope!"
After finishing, his form began to fade away slowly.
Simultaneously, Zhao Yi's clone started to condense, and after the Heavenly Dao Will dissipated, it transformed into the purest energy, flowing into Zhao Yi's clone. In that instant, the clone radiated brilliance, dazzling and resplendent, flashing with an unlookable divine glow.
Zhao Yi took a deep breath, and with the Heavenly Dao Will's voluntary sacrifice, his clone now possessed nearly equal power as himself.
The Nine Dragon Jade Seal spoke: "Master, the clone has been condensed, and now it's time for us to leave!"
"I sense an evil aura approaching rapidly. If I'm not mistaken, the Nether Tree is near."
Zhao Yi nodded, having no time for further thought, and his form quickly dissipated.
After he left.
The High Martial World crumbled, the sky resembling ink, as a massive tree descended from the heavens, rooting itself into this world.
Immediately, the roots of the great tree spread out and soon enveloped this world.
Those roots continually absorbed all life and energy from the world, causing it to wither rapidly.
From the top of the giant tree, a figure slowly descended at this moment.
Feeling the familiar energy fluctuations of the Time Law, he displayed a trace of a cold look.
"Didn't expect him to escape again!"
"But what difference does fleeing temporarily make? With the Nether Tree continually devouring, this cosmos is shrinking; we will inevitably meet again."
