Chapter 269 He Lang’s Plan, Haotian’s God-Becoming Plan
Those creatures above the fifth realm in the Haotian world who have realized the truth believe that the reason why Haotian devours practitioners who have surpassed the fifth realm is because these great practitioners have created their own laws in the Haotian world and launched the eternal night in order to maintain their own rule.

He Lang also thought so when he had just traveled to this world and had not yet become a cultivator. However, when his wisdom suddenly increased one night and he sensed his natal object, the vast sky, overnight, He Lang realized that the world’s speculations were wrong.

As the hazy world consciousness that was first born in the Haotian world, all things in the heaven and earth are part of Haotian. Why should He reap all living beings?

This is just like the common people thinking that the emperor is digging the fields with a golden hoe and begging with a golden bowl.

The reason for the eternal night is that the original founder of Taoism, the gambler, combined the faith of mankind with this original consciousness. After countless years of sacrifices, the essence of this world consciousness has been eroded by the faith and power of all living beings.

The power of faith can make people immortal, but it also has terrible poison.

Not to mention Haotian, who in He Lang’s opinion can only be regarded as a world consciousness of a planet. In those vast worlds where gods and demons abound, beings who can create the world single-handedly are extremely cautious about the power of faith.

Like Ye Fan in the world of Shrouding the Sky, he gathered endless power of faith, but in the end he did not transform this power into himself, but only studied the essence of the power of faith.

In the world of immortals and heroes, there is also a saying that incense is poisonous. This poison is the distracting thoughts in the minds of all living beings. The power of human faith can sacrifice to gods, and similarly, gods will also have their divinity, priesthood and other foundations changed by the power of faith.

In the Haotian world, the arrival of countless eternal nights has made the world consciousness of the Haotian world have both the belief in light and the belief in darkness, and ultimately Haotian’s consciousness is eroded by the beliefs of all living beings.

The agreement between the gambler and Haotian allowed light to reappear on earth time and time again, protecting mankind from natural disasters.

All living beings’ fear of darkness and ominousness has brought eternal night upon the world again and again.

In the countless cycles of light and eternal night, the original Haotian consciousness also gave birth to desires under the influence of the thoughts of all living beings. He wanted to break free from the constraints of the rules and end the agreement with the gambler.

This is what He Lang sensed from Haotian’s consciousness, so he didn’t mind giving Haotian a push.

As the world consciousness of the Haotian world, if Haotian were to take shape, he would be like an innate god, naturally gathering all the love of the world and being able to open up a new world, instead of being penetrated by a guy like Ning Que, destroying his foundation of Taoism, and staying in the human world to indulge in love affairs between men and women.

He Lang did this not out of kindness, but with Haotian paving the way ahead, the Haotian world would be able to continue to sublimate, and maybe it would be possible to sublimate the Haotian world into an eternal and immortal world. At that time, the life in the world would also be sublimated, and immortality would not be impossible.

Although he encountered a traveler who was suspected to be from the main god space in the wilderness, He Lang, an old bookworm who had read countless novels, was very clear about the dangers of the heavens and myriad worlds. If the upper limit of the night world could be raised, he would not have to plan an opportunity to travel through the heavens.

“This has nothing to do with you. Just do your job. I will make the final decision on this matter! You should return to Taoshan and lead my followers to spread the faith of Haotian throughout the world again. Don’t get involved in Chang’an’s affairs and don’t ruin my plan.”

After Sangsang finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared in front of He Lang, holding the black umbrella of destruction.

He Lang looked into the void and saw ‘Sangsang’ appear in Lao Bi Zhai again. The power of light was gathered into his body, turning into the black Sangsang. He couldn’t help but shook his head.

He turned around and waved his hand towards Ye Hongyu who was lying on the ground. Endless power of light poured into Ye Hongyu’s body, pulling her consciousness back from the darkness.

“How can it be!”

After Ye Hongyu regained consciousness, she immediately let out a sharp cry and looked towards the place where Sangsang had been standing before she fainted. She heaved a sigh of relief when she found that there was no one there. Then she looked at He Lang, who had appeared beside her at some point and was looking at her with dissatisfaction, and her face couldn’t help but turn red.

“Sorry, I lost my temper!”

Ye Hongyu gently supported the ground with her arms and stood up.

“God’s throne, who is she?”

Ye Hongyu thought of the scene she saw before she fell into darkness, and asked hurriedly.

“The secret cannot be revealed! You will know it when it’s your turn. Now that you’re awake, go wait for someone outside Chang’an. The former High Priest of Light has escaped from his cage. Go and bring him to Nanmen Temple to see me.”

After He Lang finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the street.

“The secret must not be leaked?”

Ye Hongyu pondered the meaning of this sentence in her mind, trying to find some clues. She thought about the information of Ning Que and Sangsang, but found no clues.

All we know is that Ning Que seemed to be involved in a tragedy that happened more than ten years ago, and Sangsang was picked up by him at that time.

Ye Hongyu recalled the growth records of Ning Que and Sangsang collected by Xiling Temple, and she still couldn’t figure out what was going on with the bright divine power of Sangsang that she had seen.

She couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard she tried. He Lang had already told her the answer she wanted to know in this one sentence.

“What are you still standing there for? Go!”

Ye Hongyu stood there for a while, completely immersed in her thoughts, until she heard He Lang’s urging voice again, which brought her back to her senses.

“What do you think I am? Your little maid?” Ye Hongyu snorted to express her dissatisfaction.

“Do you still want me to help you solve your doubts about cultivation?”

Hearing the hateful words, Ye Hongyu cursed He Lang in her heart and turned to walk out of Chang’an City.

As soon as she walked outside the city gate, she saw an old man in tattered clothes walking towards her from a distance. Ye Hongyu sensed a warm and bright aura from the old man and immediately knew that this was Wei Guangming, the current high priest of light in the temple.

“Ye Hongyu, the Judge, pays respect to the Throne of Light.”

Ye Hongyu walked quickly forward, saluted and said to Wei Guangming.

“It’s you, get up!” Wei Guangming stretched out his hand and helped Ye Hongyu up.

“The next high priest is already waiting for your arrival in Nanmen Temple.” Ye Hongyu said to Wei Guangming with gritted teeth.

“Take me there!”

Wei Guangming didn’t have any other expression, he just spoke lightly.

However, although he did not show it on his face, Wei Guangming was also extremely surprised. Although Nanmen Temple was also a sect of Haotian Taoism, ever since the Master helped the Li family to establish the Li Tang Dynasty, Nanmen Temple, which was located in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, had already deviated from the beliefs of Haotian. The current leader of Nanmen, Li Qingshan, was even the imperial teacher of the Tang Dynasty.

He Lang, the next High Priest of Light, actually lived in the South Gate, which surprised him greatly.

And if what he expected was correct, there was someone he knew inside the South Gate. Wei Guangming took a look at the God-shaking Formation in Chang’an City, but he didn’t choose to attack. Instead, he suppressed his own realm and followed Ye Hongyu to the South Gate.

When he walked into the South Gate, no one greeted him. Wei Guangming walked into the Nanmen Temple and saw strange visions emerging in this small world of Nanmen Temple.

Runes in the void stirred the vital energy of heaven and earth, transforming it into substances such as heaven, earth, wind and thunder, mountains and rivers, water and fire.

On the other side, a series of well characters were constantly colliding with the eight runes.

Wei Guangming, who was familiar with the Well character, saw at a glance that it was Yan Se’s killer move. What surprised him was that Yan Se’s Well character, which could cut through heaven and earth, was directly wiped out by the power of the eight runes that were changing and transforming with each other in an endless stream.

The light that belonged to Haotian and emanated from the young man who controlled the eight runes made Wei Guangming realize that this young man was the one who was given the oracle by Haotian and served as the high priest of light.

Wei Guangming’s eyes couldn’t help but shrink as he watched the eight runes change and evolve into a small world.

“You have such abnormal comprehension. Your rune practice is no less than mine. It won’t be long before you can reach the level of a divine rune master.”

After the small world appeared, Yan Se’s well character was taken into the world. The eight original forces rotated and erased the rule power of the well character.

After the well character was erased, the rune world constructed by eight original forces in the void also disappeared into the void.

Yan Se, who was known as the world’s number one talisman master, felt a little regretful when he looked at the young man opposite him who was radiating the power of light.

It’s such a pity that such a brilliant person actually came from Xiling instead of Haotian South Gate!

“I have to thank Master Yan Se for teaching me everything he knew.” He Lang calmed the fluctuations of the vital energy of heaven and earth in the void and smiled indifferently.

Then He Lang and Yan Se looked at Wei Guangming at the same time.

“Your Majesty has come a long way, and I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you in person.”

“You are this year’s High Priest of Light? You are indeed worthy of being chosen by Haotian. It seems that the temple will surely prosper in this generation because of you.”

Wei Guangming walked up to He Lang, his tone quite satisfied.

“What are these runes you just evolved? There are so many variations among them. It feels like everything in the world cannot escape the changes of these runes.”

Wei Guangming looked at the Haotian Divine Light on He Lang’s body. The eight runes were unpredictable, making He Lang’s Haotian Divine Light even more terrifying.

“I call it the Bagua Rune. If the Guardian God is interested, I can pass it on to you for your contemplation.”

“Then I would like to thank you here first.” Wei Guangming said seriously.

He Lang stretched out his hand and pointed out a ray of divine light, which fell on Wei Guangming’s forehead and passed the Bagua rune to Wei Guangming.

While Wei Guangming was comprehending the Bagua Runes, He Lang was also silently deducing the more advanced realm changes of the Rune Dao. The Bagua Runes were He Lang’s natal runes, and they were runes he comprehended based on the Fuxi Bagua.

After returning from the academy, Master Yan Se came to discuss the way of runes with him. What he didn’t expect was that He Lang’s practice of the way of runes improved in an instant. In a short period of time, He Lang’s practice of the way of runes grew to a terrifying level.

The rune formation that evolved from the combination of runes that He Lang called the Eight Diagrams made Master Yan Se feel trembling with fear.

From his perspective, Chang’an’s Jingshen Formation would find it difficult to block the cracking of the Innate Bagua Runes composed of the Bagua Runes.

“Are you here for the children of Hades, just like you did more than a decade ago?”

When Wei Guangming was sweating profusely, He Lang interrupted his contemplation and pulled his mind away from the changes of the Bagua runes.

“How do you know?” Wei Guangming heard He Lang’s words, glanced at Yan Se beside him, and asked solemnly.

“This is the divine power of celestial calculation that I gained from my understanding of Haotian’s laws. The past and future of the Haotian world are all in the deduction of celestial calculation.”

When Wei Guangming heard He Lang’s words, his eyes flashed, and a dazzling and warm light illuminated the void.

Wei Guangming stared at He Lang. From He Lang’s tone, he could tell that He Lang seemed to know a lot about the past events.

“Is your fortune telling so powerful? Then calculate where the children of Hades are in Chang’an City.”

Wei Guangming looked at He Lang and said.

Seeing his stubborn look, He Lang felt a little strange. He spread the faith of Haotian in the wilderness and awakened the dormant Haotian consciousness in Sangsang. Now if Wei Guangming came to him, he felt that he would be killed by Haotian’s Haotian Divine Light.

“I had already calculated it long before Pluto stepped out of his cage. There are no children of Pluto in Chang’an City.” He Lang looked at Wei Guangming meaningfully.

“Impossible! I saw darkness covering Chang’an on Taoshan Mountain. The children of Hades must have awakened and are right here in the city of Chang’an.” Wei Guangming said with great certainty.

Just like the darkness he saw more than ten years ago, Wei Guangming believed that he was not mistaken.

“You still need to comprehend more about your divination, but your cultivation is indeed extraordinary, and you can bear the responsibility of the Great Priest of Light. After I find the children of Hades and kill them, you will return to Taoshan with me to complete the ceremony of the Great Priest of Light.”

Ye Hongyu looked strange when she heard Wei Guangming’s words. She looked at He Lang, then at Wei Guangming, but in the end she didn’t say anything.

“Then I will quietly wait for good news from the Guardian God Throne in the Taoist temple!” He Lang nodded and said.

Even if Wei Guangming didn’t say it, he was already preparing to go to Taoshan to complete the ceremony. The Haotian consciousness in Chang’an City was already urging him to leave Chang’an.

After awakening, Haotian’s consciousness had already locked onto the Master who had integrated the power of the human world. He Lang guessed that Haotian wanted to use the identity of “Sangsang” to obtain the power of the human world controlled by the Master.

The Master saw that Sangsang might be the daughter of Hades, but he didn’t know that Sangsang had awakened Haotian’s consciousness. When the Master wanted Haotian to fall into the human world and not be able to return to heaven, Haotian was also planning to use the human power controlled by the Master.

That’s why Haotian kept urging He Lang to leave Chang’an City, so as to prevent He Lang from disrupting His plans.

In the courtyard of the Taoist temple, Wei Guangming said nothing more. He turned into light and left the south gate. After meeting He Lang, Wei Guangming became more eager to find the children of Hades.
