Wang Sheng finally understood why the Corrosive Fate Dao kept sending Cultivators to participate in the Dao Fruit contest, even though it clearly didnât gain any advantage, as if purely giving benefits.
Now, its purpose can be seen clearly.
Continually sending people, and sending more each time, is essentially to allow more copies to come into contact with their originals, thereby causing changes, making the copies stronger. Or, on a deeper level, the Corrosive Fate Daoâs actions are ultimately for its own progress.
From only being able to follow predetermined destinies, to now regaining the means to shape the destinies of creatures, itâs obvious that many benefits can be gained.
And this method, because the Dao Fruit contest canât be stopped, is a blatant open scheme. Even knowing whatâs to be done, one can only continue.
To let the Corrosive Fate Daoâs copies continue to come into contact with the Starry Sky Creatures, progressing persistently.
"As expected, the Corrosive Fate Dao wonât sit idly by, itâs already beginning to counterattack."
This seasonâs Dao Fruit contest is extremely bloody, a result of the Corrosive Fate Dao making progress and changes.
The originally pure benefits have turned into a man-eating tiger.
If one is not careful, they might end up consumed.
Ordinary Twelve Realm Saint Emperors may not be as rare in the starry sky as before, but they are still top-tier power. Billions of creatures might not give birth to even one.
One death is a huge loss for the starry sky, and if the number of deaths is too high, it can even affect the stability of the starry sky.
To the starry sky, it is a hundred harms without a single benefit.
"With no way to change the open scheme, the only option is to confront it head-on."
An open scheme, by definition, means that even knowing itâs a scheme, you can only step into it.
The only way is to crush it head-on.
On the Supreme Road, the way is for the Starry Sky Creatures to, as before, continue achieving victory.
There is no other way.
"As long as the Starry Sky Creatures attain enlightenment in the end, then the Corrosive Fate Dao will only incur greater losses, even with progress and changes, it may not compensate for the losses, but if the copies attain the Dao Fruit, the results could be even more severe than before."
The Corrosive Fate Daoâs open scheme surely can reap benefits, but the more copies sent out, the more benefits it has to give up.
Especially when the Starry Sky Creatures attain enlightenment.
If ultimately the Starry Sky Creatures attain enlightenment, even the copies that previously won against the original will be obliteratedâdestroyed by Wang Sheng himself, which is an unspoken rule.
There arenât many ways to cause losses to the Corrosive Fate Dao, the contention on the Supreme Road is definitely one of them, and itâs indeed a very good one.
"The Corrosive Fate Dao has made the contention on the Supreme Road even more intense, committing more resources... Well, being able to progress on the Supreme Road is surely something it wonât ignore, perhaps the Corrosive Fate Daoâs investment is more than I imagined."
Now, the Supreme Road has completely become a battleground where Wang Shengâs side and the Corrosive Fate Daoâs side compete to grab each otherâs "nutrients", nurturing themselves.
The importance goes without saying.
This was something Wang Sheng never expected at the start.
"This time, the Supreme Road is even more important than I estimated... Itâs not just the key to my ascension to the Immortal Realm, but also the key to the struggle between the Corrosive Fate Dao and the starry sky. No matter who wins, they will likely gain an advantage in future contests."
If the starry sky and his side win, the evolution of the Corrosive Fate Dao will be delayed, and he can get closer to the Immortal Realm; if the Corrosive Fate Dao wins, it can continue to evolve and break free from the starry skyâs suppression.
Thus, the creatures participating in this seasonâs Supreme Dao Fruit contest bear even more responsibility than imagined.
"Of the five starry skies, the newly joined starry sky just got in touch with the Supreme Road, still unaware, with no one storing momentum, amassing luck, this season hasnât much hope, as for the other four starry skiesâ"
"In the new land, it should be Zhu Xiao, having participated in three seasons, with significant foundations and not-so-weak battle power, holding strong final competitiveness; in the old land, Yuanhua is in a similar situation, having been just a step away several times, accumulating the most abundant foundation."
The Xuan Yuan Starry Sky should be the successor of Xuan Yuan Palace, Xuan Kong, almost invincible on the Xuan Yuan Starry Supreme Road; the Divine Light Starry Sky, should be the deity from the Divine Light World...
Then thereâs their respective copies, which also have intense competitiveness and a chance to win."
The Supreme Road has been ongoing for millennia, and the situations on several Supreme Roads are basically clear.
Those with the potential to attain enlightenment can basically be identified.
Perhaps due to the pressure of the copies, this season the display of power from the strong on the Supreme Road is even more prominent.
"It wonât be long before entering the Creation Land, soon enough weâll see who can achieve enlightenment this time..."
Due to the entanglement of the copies, the Dao Fruit contest, which should have ended, still sees the strong on every Supreme Road not having entered Creation Land yet.
But after such a long time, it wonât be long now!
Of course, those not entering Creation Land are limited to the top-tier powerhouses, as they have powerful copies entangling them, progressing slowly.
Some Cultivators, without interference from copies or having dealt with them, have already reached Supreme City.
The powerful beings from the five starry skies have gathered, making Supreme City extremely lively.
After tens of thousands of years, now in Supreme City, besides those who wish to witness top-tier powerhouses attaining enlightenment, there are also some there for business.
The newly joined starry sky is luckier than the former Divine Light Starry Sky, as they can directly buy all the information about the Supreme Road.
