Under the rumbling thunder, it seemed as if the entire library was trembling and shaking!!

Chen Yan’s expression had already changed!

Because, mixed in with the thunder, he could still clearly hear the few words the old lady said into his ear.

"There is no Celestial Tribulation for becoming a Saint! The so-called last great Celestial Tribulation to become a Saint does not exist at all!"

·

The thunder roared, and flashes of lightning illuminated the heavens and earth!

The dazzling electric light came from outside the window, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime!

The thunderclaps fell one after another, echoing continuously, and from this mighty force of heaven and earth, Chen Yan even sensed a faint trace of anger!

Under the illumination of the lightning, the old lady’s face seemed to turn pale, but she suddenly burst into laughter, abruptly raising her head to look at the sky outside the window.

An astonishing aura erupted from the old lady’s body instantaneously!

She continued to stand right in front of Chen Yan, but that overwhelming aura stirred the Primordial Qi in mighty waves, making it almost tangible, and the agitation of the world’s might was resisted just by her standing here, with her bursts of laughter seeming to hold it at bay!

At this moment, the old lady was like a rock amidst the roaring waves, unmoving despite the thunder intermixing with the power of the heavens!

"Alright!! That’s enough!!! I was merely sharing a trivial secret! Why make such a fuss!!!

How about this, if you have the guts, kill me with thunder under the pretense of divulging a heavenly secret!!!"

The old lady erupted in rage, shouting loudly, pointing at the sky outside, and bellowing: "Since you can’t kill me, stop pretending! I’ve already said it!!!"

As she spoke, the old lady took a deep breath, and swiped her sleeve!

An incredibly firm line of Primordial Qi roared out, surged backward, spreading across the walls and windows of the library, and, after rushing out, stood as a barrier in mid-air!

A strike of lightning crashed down, the electric light flickering, yet it was firmly blocked by this Primordial Qi barrier!

Simultaneously, the smile on the old lady’s face turned sharp, loudly saying to Chen Yan: "There’s never been any Celestial Tribulation for becoming a Saint!

All the Saints were merely those whom the Heavenly Dao found pleasing to the eye, choosing those most capable of understanding it!

It’s like a woman, faced with countless suitors, what standards does she use to choose?

Wealth? Appearance? Figure? Education?

All of them, and none of them!

Ultimately, it’s really about who she finds pleasing to the eye!

The so-called understanding of the Heavenly Dao is like a lovesick puppy trying to guess a woman’s mind, whoever understands her best and makes her feel most cherished, she will choose..."

As the old lady spoke these seemingly ’rebellious’ words, the rolling dark clouds twisted, and bolts of lightning crashed down onto the library in the Inner City!

The barrier that the old lady had conjured stubbornly resisted this force of heaven and earth!

Finally, when the old lady finished her last sentence, her face had turned as pale as paper.

With a sudden sound, she opened her mouth wide, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood, droplets even splashing onto Chen Yan’s sleeve!

Startled, Chen Yan was about to go over and support the old lady, but she waved her hand in refusal.

Then the old lady sighed, shouting loudly: "Alright alright! I’ve finished speaking! Surely you don’t really want to kill me! This is the end!"

After the old lady closed her mouth, her breathing was heavy, but the thunder in the sky gradually receded, weakening, though it still carried a vague warning.

After spitting out that mouthful of blood, the old lady’s complexion looked much worse, but after catching her breath for a while, it recovered about seventy to eighty percent.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, looked up at Chen Yan, and grinned: "Did you see it? Just now...

This is the will of the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao has a will."

As she said this, she shook her head helplessly: "Talking about this is already bending the rules, and I can’t tell you even more against the rules stuff, saying it would anger it further."

Chen Yan’s expression was extremely grave at this moment, but before he could say anything, the old lady had already grabbed his hand and said with a low laugh: "Alright, let’s stop talking about this.

I’ve already said quite a bit of rule-breaking stuff, now let me tell you something not so against the rules."

With a stern expression, Chen Yan knew he couldn’t interrupt the old lady now, so he kept his mouth tightly shut, waiting for her to continue.

"At the beginning of heaven and earth, the inception of all things. Before this world came into being, there was originally a mass of chaos.

Well, you’ve definitely heard the story of Pangu opening the sky and earth. Splitting open the chaos, only then did the later world come into being.

This, placed in the scientific realm, is called the Big Bang, right?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan nodded seriously.

The old lady continued: "At the beginning of heaven and earth, with the birth of this world, there were a batch of ’things’, these things were actually born in the chaos before the world took form.

You can understand them as being born with this world, originally a part of this world.

But because these ’things’ were conceived and born with the world, they are the earliest, most primordial existences, and a part of this world.

Thus, these ’things’ are also a part of the Heavenly Dao, or rather, their presence is inherently part of the Heavenly Dao Rules.

You could call them ’World Origin’, ’Inception of All Things’... the name doesn’t matter, that’s just the idea.

And these ’World Origin’, these ’Inception of All Things’, these ’things’.
