This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered

Chapter 945 - 711: You Could Have Advanced to the Tenth Realm All Along!

Liang Yi furrowed his brows because he truly couldn't refute the words of the Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Dao.

He could swear that he wouldn't do anything harmful to the Mystical Mechanism, but how could he guarantee it? As a cultivator, he could swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, but what if he transcended above it?

Beside him, Su Youyi also seemed distressed. Eternity remains constant only through change itself; no one can ensure they will maintain their innermost thoughts throughout endless time, so Mystic Mechanism's concerns are indeed reasonable.

In all things, the Heavenly Dao prioritizes the interests of the Mystical Mechanism, but once emotions are involved, thoughts arise, desires emerge, making it difficult to act by a single standard.

Consider the current Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Dao; if it had comprehended emotions earlier and found a stronger path, asking it now to maintain Mystical Mechanism and make sacrifices is essentially unrealistic.

"They want Authority but it's useless; later, Authority will be given to me, and I'll continue maintaining the world operation as the Heavenly Dao." Grandpa Ju, having thought of this solution, naturally understood the current mindset of the Mystical Mechanism.

"I can swear by the Dao Heart," Liang Yi suddenly raised his head to look at Mystic Mechanism and said.

If no one is able to restrain him, then he will restrain himself.

"If I do anything detrimental to the Mystical Mechanism, or fail to return Authority to Grandpa Ju, then let my Dao Heart shatter."

Before Su Youyi and Chen Hua could stop him, Liang Yi solemnly swore.

The intangible force brought by words dissipated and gathered in the Void, forming an invisible shackle imprinted in Liang Yi's heart.

This was a vow he set for himself, just like the oath to protect his sister forever!

Never to be broken!

The Heavenly Dao looked directly at Liang Yi, observing that resolute gaze, finding faith in his eyes.

Similar to his oath to protect the Heavenly Origin, this boy was guarding the girl behind him.

Actually, Mystic Mechanism was somewhat dismissive when Grandpa Ju mentioned he could become the Heavenly Dao again, as he didn't believe Grandpa Ju could resume the role effectively.

Previously, before Grandpa Ju reincarnated, he too was a Heavenly Dao protecting the Heavenly Origin, but after reincarnation, emotions developed, and his thoughts completely changed.

Ever since Grandpa Ju's birth, he had been watching this former Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Dao, knowing quite well how unreliable this guy was.

If Grandpa Ju were to become the Heavenly Dao again, the Mystical Mechanism truly feared he'd constantly cause trouble, better to let Liang Yi or someone else take the role.

"I can also swear by the Dao Heart; if I do anything detrimental to the Mystical Mechanism, or fail to return Authority to Grandpa Ju, let my Dao Heart shatter." Su Youyi breathed out, also imposing restraints on herself.

Chen Hua bound himself with Karma Sword Intent and similarly swore an oath.

With all three setting Dao Heart vows, the Mystic Mechanism suddenly smiled as he looked at them.

"Actually, I have no doubts about the character of you three, but given the gravity of the situation, I needed assurance."

These words left Liang Yi and the others stunned, suddenly understanding and feeling elated.

They've always been within the Mystic Mechanism Continent; everything they did was known to the Mystical Mechanism, so he was very aware of their character.

Now, saying this meant the Mystic Mechanism agreed to their plan.

"I can indeed grant you Authority and my Origin to help you ascend to the Tenth Realm..." Mystic Mechanism slowly said, eyeing the three, "but it's only sufficient for one."

"One person..." Liang Yi wasn't surprised, for even the Abyss Will being forcibly seized was enough only for Gongsun Bai'an.

Authority isn't the main issue; it's the matter of the World Origin.

"The proper method to ascend the Tenth Realm should be rising to the Void, journeying through it, then transforming one's Domain into a world, gradually accumulating Origin Power, thereby mastering Authority and ascending to the Tenth Realm!" Mystic Mechanism spoke slowly.

No Abyss cultivator or Mystic Mechanism cultivator has succeed across epochs due to their cultivation within the inherent confines of Mystic Mechanism and Abyss.

It's akin to constantly being in someone else's Domain; under the suppression of the two great worlds of Mystic Mechanism and Abyss, a cultivator's domain can never evolve into a world-level entity, hence, mastering the power of World Authority is impossible.

"I can now offer Mystical Mechanism Authority and my own Origin to you, but only one can be aided," Mystic Mechanism said.

"Give it to these two children; their future paths should reach farther than mine." Chen Hua suddenly smiled openly, directly relinquishing this rare chance to ascend the Tenth Realm.

"Master..." Liang Yi and Su Youyi gritted their teeth, wanting to protest.

"Do you look down on me? Now that the proper path is understood, do you think I can't embark on it?" Chen Hua chuckled indifferently and questioned them.

"Me too..." Su Youyi took a deep breath, deciding to give the opportunity to her senior brother.

"Then it's you; he doesn't need my assistance—he inherently possesses Authority Power within and already holds abundant World Origin—so he can naturally ascend to the Tenth Realm." Mystic Mechanism directly interrupted Su Youyi's words, immediately choosing her.

"??" Liang Yi was dumbfounded, what are you talking about?

Liang Yi thought if he hadn't misheard, Mystic Mechanism was saying he already had the conditions to ascend to the Tenth Realm?

Grandpa Ju and Chen Hua both turned shocked eyes towards Liang Yi, unaware of this fact.

Liang Yi's lips twitched; even he didn't know, what is the Authority in him? Where is the World Origin?

Su Youyi was also unclear but was genuinely happy for her senior brother.

"Don't ask me, I can merely sense you have the ability to ascend to the Tenth Realm; Authority doesn't need to be overly powerful, just present. However, your World Origin is somewhat lacking, needing further accumulation." Mystic Mechanism shook his head and said, then looked to Su Youyi.

"As for you, your River of Sword Intent inherently touches upon the mysteries of the Tenth Realm, and wielding the Sword Dao itself is a manifestation of Authority powers; your absence from the Tenth Realm is merely due to World Origin, which I shall provide!"

Mystic Mechanism's eyebrows were stern; in his weakened state, his strength had plunged to the bottom, being unable to confront the newly empowered Gongsun Bai'an after merging with his clone.

He now directly aids Su Youyi in ascending to the Tenth Realm; in terms of battle prowess, the Sword Dao is indisputably first, easily sufficient to contend with Gongsun Bai'an.

Once Liang Yi ascends the Tenth Realm too, together they will have the capacity to directly slay Gongsun Bai'an.

At that point, Gongsun Bai'an should be the one seeking escape, ensuring the safety of the Mystical Mechanism!

Actually, Mystic Mechanism had already seen through the plan of Grandpa Ju and Liang Yi; being the Heavenly Dao, he's marginally able to touch upon the existence of the River of Time, so even ordinary cultivators could foresee the future; why not him as the Heavenly Dao?

Knowing Liang Yi was at the core, even without their proposal, he would have proactively summoned them.

His earlier words were merely the final test of their character; after all, once Liang Yi and Su Youyi achieved the Tenth Realm, not even he would stand a chance, so for the safety of the Mystical Mechanism, he played a slight trick.

As for allowing Grandpa Ju to continue being the Heavenly Dao? Forget it, that fellow is only suited to gnawing on small fish snacks.
