"The ultimate goal of this sacrificial ritual is the Heavenly Dao?"
Ye Ling looked at the pillar of light connecting the sky and the earth, his eyes changing slightly as he realized the situation was not good.
He had considered various purposes for this sacrificial ritual, but he never expected that this ritual held by the Hongchen Pavilion would even attempt to seize the power of the Heavenly Dao!
"And this sacrificial ritual only has Ye Feng as a sacrifice. Xiao You was rescued by me, and the ritual can still continue successfully?"
Ye Ling's mood was somewhat heavy.
The current situation had become a dilemma where he could neither advance nor retreat…
If he wanted to stop the sacrificial ritual of the altar, he would have to use the laws of the demonic path, but this would only cause the laws of Earth to collapse, turning Earth into a dead planet.
But if he didn't stop this sacrificial ritual, the surging altar would also drain all the power of the Heavenly Dao, and then the Earth's Heavenly Dao would fall, and the world would also collapse!
It seemed that no matter what he did, Earth could not avoid the fate of destruction.
The Yin souls flying from the Tongyou Pond to the human world were darting about between heaven and earth, and the entire Earth had fallen into chaos.
Ye Ling stood in the void, looking at the devastated land below, his mind racing.
He did not want to give up just like that.
The Heavenly Dao once again called out for help to Ye Ling: "Quickly think of a way. During the time you entered the Tongtian Tower, the Three Realms have been thrown into chaos. Earth's order has collapsed too quickly, and I cannot stop it!"
Ye Ling frowned: "It's useless for you to be anxious now. The Tongtian Tower and the altar within are protected by the laws of time. If I don't use the laws of the demonic path, I cannot completely destroy the Tongtian Tower and the altar."
"But if I use the laws of the demonic path, you should know better than I do what the fate of Earth will be. If you want me to save you, you have to let me temporarily be the Heavenly Dao!"
The Heavenly Dao exclaimed: "You want to be the Heavenly Dao?"
Ye Ling said: "Your Heavenly Dao power is the gentlest among the supreme laws. It can perfectly harmonize with the great supreme laws and will not conflict with the laws of time."
"If I temporarily replace your position, I can use all your Heavenly Dao origins. This way, I can use the power of the Heavenly Dao to guide the laws of time and strip them away from the altar and the Tongtian Tower."
"Without the protection of the laws of time, I can easily destroy this human world's altar!"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, the Heavenly Dao fell silent.
The Heavenly Dao was very clear about its current predicament. It would not be long before its origins were drained by the pillar of light connecting heaven and earth.
If it weren't for Ye Ling's help, it and Earth would surely perish!
The method Ye Ling proposed now was the best way to solve the current problem!
But what the Heavenly Dao worried about was that if Ye Ling truly had selfish intentions, he could completely control the power of the Heavenly Dao and not return it.
In this way, Ye Ling would usurp the position, completely control Earth, and become an omniscient and omnipotent god on Earth.
The entire Three Realms would become Ye Ling's private garden!
However, the Heavenly Dao now had no other way except to ask Ye Ling for help. Even if letting Ye Ling become the Heavenly Dao was a plan with great risks, it was still better than having its power drained away now.
"Good! I lend you my power!"
The Heavenly Dao agreed to Ye Ling's plan without much consideration, "I will temporarily transfer the Heavenly Dao origins to you. The fate of Earth from now on is entirely in your hands!"
Ye Ling nodded: "Don't worry, this is my hometown, and I won't stand by and watch it be destroyed!"
A white light descended from the sky, enveloping Ye Ling.
The power of the Heavenly Dao converged around him.
Ye Ling could feel the Heavenly Dao continuously injecting its origins into his body.
Once Ye Ling possessed more Heavenly Dao origins than the current Heavenly Dao, Ye Ling would become the next Heavenly Dao of Earth!
The Heavenly Dao was the highest existence in a world. Even the laws of time, within that world, were bound to be constrained by that world's Heavenly Dao.
Although Earth was currently just a backward civilization, the rank and quality of the Heavenly Dao's power would not change.
In other words… now that Ye Ling controlled the Earth's Heavenly Dao origins, coupled with his own strength, controlling time within Earth would no longer be difficult for him.
"This power…"
Ye Ling carefully sensed the Heavenly Dao origins surging within his body, and suddenly discovered that the power that the Creation God statue had infused into his body had reappeared in his meridians.
Although that power was only a trace, Ye Ling could feel immense energy from it!
That trace of power's amplification for Ye Ling even surpassed that of the Heavenly Dao origins!
At this moment, to prevent its Heavenly Dao origins from being completely absorbed, the Heavenly Dao had gone all out and handed over all its remaining Heavenly Dao origins to Ye Ling, saying: "Ye Ling, I can only trust you now. I hope you can help me solve that altar and save Earth!"
"Don't worry… leave it to me!"
Hearing the Heavenly Dao's words, Ye Ling also snapped back from the trace of power from the Creation God and said confidently to the Heavenly Dao.
As Ye Ling absorbed the Heavenly Dao origins, he found his control over Earth growing stronger.
Now, he could not only feel the flow of spiritual energy throughout the world, but he could even hear the prayers of all living beings to the Heavenly Dao in their hearts.
This feeling was exactly the same as when he had replaced the Heavenly Dao in the Dongxuan Continent.
Only now, Ye Ling had become the Heavenly Dao of Earth.
At this moment, he was Earth!
"With the power of Earth's Heavenly Dao, it will be much easier to deal with the laws of time… that altar should be destroyed as well."
Ye Ling familiarized himself with Earth's Heavenly Dao origins for a moment, then prepared himself, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes!
The power of the Heavenly Dao emanated from Ye Ling's body and spread throughout heaven and earth.
The red pillar of light connecting the sky and the earth from the Tongtian Tower, unable to draw power from the Heavenly Dao origins, gradually withered and finally disappeared.
More and more power of the Heavenly Dao swirled around Ye Ling. At this moment, Ye Ling was like the center of the world, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth converged towards him.
Ye Ling, simply standing in the air without doing anything, could clearly perceive the flow of the three thousand Great Dao laws in this world.
"Laws of time…"
From the three thousand Great Dao laws, Ye Ling singled out the laws of time, merged them with the power of the Heavenly Dao, and attempted to control time.
Soon, with the enhancement of Earth's Heavenly Dao power, Ye Ling mastered the knack of time control and completely cleared away the laws of the Great Dao of time that existed around the Tongtian Tower and the altar within!
"This way, the laws of time cannot reverse time. Now, destroying the Tongtian Tower and the altar… is effortless."
Ye Ling condensed a long sword with the power of the Heavenly Dao and was about to swing it down to end this sacrificial ritual…
Ye Ling's inner demon… reappeared in the Tongtian Tower!
