Chapter 1263: Anything Is Possible
Tina suddenly spoke up at this moment.
Everyone turned to look at the adorable little fairy with curiosity and anticipation on their faces.
Tina took a short moment to gather her thoughts before speaking with an earnest expression, “You’re asking whether any living being has ever reached the end of dao and whether they would become an omniscient and omnipresent god if they did manage to do so. I’d say no as well! This is actually a very easy conundrum to solve.”
“Oh? How so?” The rock golem’s interest was piqued.
Tina replied with a smile, “If there is an omnipotent god in this world, then can they create an unbreakable shield? If they can’t, then they’re not omnipotent. If they can, then theoretically, even they would be unable to break the shield, so they’re still not omnipotent!”
Little Na splayed open her tiny hands. “As such, the concept of an omnipotent god in itself is a flawed concept that cannot exist in this world.”
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Da Bai were all stunned. What watertight logic!
The rock golem shuddered as golden light erupted from its eyes. “How insightful! I have truly been enlightened! This is a problem that I’ve been struggling with for a long time, and I now finally have a solution!”
With this in mind, it bowed deeply to the little fairy on An Lin’s shoulder with an expression of gratitude on its face. “Your words have opened my eyes. I, Ai Er, thank you for your teachings!”
The rock golem voluntarily disclosed its name, thereby indicating that Tina had completely won it over with her theory.
“Heehee, my name is Tina. You don’t have to be so respectful, Mr. Ai Er, we’re just having a simple conversation with one another,” Tina said with a lovely smile on her face.
However, she was fretting about other things in her heart. She was the God of Creation of the Divine Mirror World, yet she couldn’t even sort out the problem with the Void Spirit Tribe, so she was far from omnipotent!
“Then, have there been any living beings that have reached the end of dao?” Ai Er asked.
Tina replied with a smile, “Of course not.
“The path to seeking dao is a constant journey to improve one’s cultivation base, and in turn, their power. The pinnacle of power is omnipotence. As such, omnipotence lies at the conclusion of dao. However, omnipotent creatures cannot possibly exist, which is why there are no living beings that have ever reached the end of dao!”
Ai Er had been enlightened, and he spoke in a respectful voice, “Senior Tina’s words are like a beacon of light shining through the darkness, dispelling the murkiness in my heart. Please accept this salute from me!”
The massive rock golem knelt down to the tiny Little Na as he spoke.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were both astonished to see this.
Were all Stone Tribe mighty figures this modest?
They were also surprised that Tina was so wise and was able to think about things on such a deep and profound level.
Ai Er provided a smiling explanation at the sight of An Lin and Xu Xiaolan’s expressions of astonishment. “In our Stone Tribe, one’s philosophical concepts and wisdom are ranked above all else. When we communicate with one another, it is a discussion of wisdom and ideas rather than a comparison of cultivation bases.
“Whoever is wiser than me is qualified to be my master! I can be someone else’s master today, but I would gladly accept them as my master the next day if their wisdom is more profound than mine.”
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were instantly enlightened. This Stone Tribe was a bunch of philosophers!
“Ai Er, if my answers are satisfactory to you, then please answer Giant An Lin’s question.” Tina looked at Ai Er with a hint of anticipation and a sense of natural superiority in her emerald eyes.
The rock golem was not displeased by her superior attitude at all. Instead, he nodded with an eager expression before pointing a finger, upon which a golden butterfly appeared from thin air.
“Follow this butterfly, and you will find where you want to go. However, I must warn you that the sect within this divine mountain is not something that I would dare to stand against. You must proceed with the utmost caution.”
Ai Er was a Return to Void Intermediate Stage mighty figure. Hence, this information was slightly alarming.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan both bowed in gratitude. “Thank you, Senior.”
Thus, the four of them followed the beautiful golden butterfly down the side of the divine mountain, all the way until they were halfway down the mountain. There, the golden butterfly suddenly flew toward a massive waterfall.
The golden butterfly then disappeared into the waterfall.
“A waterfall?”
An Lin faltered slightly before coming to a sudden realization.
“So that’s where they’ve hidden themselves. The water of this waterfall was nurtured by this divine mountain, so it’s able to avoid detection from one’s divine sense. This is indeed a fantastic hiding place!”
An Lin rode on Da Bai’s back toward the waterfall. After passing through the waterfall, they arrived at a cave, and at the end of the cave was a massive black gate.
To the left of the gate hung a bloodstained human skeleton.
To the right was a floating ball of blood. The pungent odor of blood suggested that it had been extracted not too long ago.
“This is a demonic sect alright,” An Lin muttered.
Xu Xiaolan had already drawn her Dragon Sparrow Sword. “We need to be on our guard here.”
At this moment, on the other side of the gate.
A man draped in dark crystal armor sat on a throne constructed from bones.
His eyes were dark green, his skin was as fair as snow, and he held a skeletal cane in his hand.
The man appeared to be quite young, but he was already the top dog of the Divine Dark Dao Sect!
In front of him were a dozen or so powerful elders, all of whom wore respectful expressions.
“Dark Depravity Monarch, the lab rats for our sect’s demonic cultivation method experiments have recently increased by ten thousand. All of them are now situated within the blood refinement pool.” An elder stepped forward and extended a respectful salute.
“Why is there so little this time?” The man’s eyes were half-closed, and a hint of his aura escaped from his body, thus striking the elder with a sense of crushing fear that almost forced him to his knees.
“Hmph! Ten thousand lab rats aren’t even enough to elevate my Blood Reincarnation Technique by one level…” The Dark Depravity Monarch was quite displeased.
“Please spare me, Dark Monarch! This is all because the Heavenly Peach Banquet of the Heavenly Court is about to be held, and the Kingdom of the Nine States has taken even more stringent security measures. As such, it was very difficult for us to gather research subjects on a large scale without being detected!” The elder fell to his knees and kowtowed over and over again.
The Dark Depravity Monarch was an extremely violent man, so it was quite possible that this elder could be executed for these unsatisfactory results.
A cold light flashed from the Dark Depravity Monarch’s eyes, as if he was considering how to punish this elder.
Another elder with golden hair decided to knock another nail into his coffin with a cold smile. “I heard that one of Elder Song Qiu’s teams was annihilated by one of the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s enforcement teams. Not only did he get a pitiful amount of research subjects, but he has also led many of our sect disciples to their deaths…”
“Xiang Ling, you!” Song Qiu raised his head with an enraged expression.
“That’s enough! I don’t care how many people die. Next time, you and Song Qiu must secure at least a hundred thousand lab rats for me! As for the Four Nine Immortal Sect, hehe, when I reach the Dao Integration Stage, I will raze their entire sect to the ground!” The Dark Depravity Monarch raised his proud head with a disdainful expression.
