I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2420 - 2419: On the Tao—Creation, Destruction, and Fate

The scene before his eyes gradually became clearer.

A figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

His battle robe was unruly, and his majestic posture seemed capable of shaking the heavens at any moment.

Each step seemed to tread upon the rhythm of heaven and earth.

He looked at Xu Zimei, and Xu Zimei looked back at him.

The other's eyes were filled with immense sentiment.

"Hello, new Demon Lord."

"Hello, former Demon Lord."

The two exchanged greetings.

"The power of the Demon Lord is like a bond, passed down generation after generation."

"Now you have reached this step, I think my Great Dao should be passed to you, it is the only thing I can leave for you."

Saying this, the former Demon Lord appeared extremely desolate.

He had inherited the legacy from the Demon Lord before him.

At that time, he was high-spirited, believing he could accomplish an incomparably great endeavor.

But later, he still died in the Heaven Challenge battle.

Nonetheless, the desolation is ultimately a thing of the past.

He is already dead; this is an unchangeable fact.

He looked at Xu Zimei and said: "Watch my Great Dao carefully."

"The Dao I walk is divided into two kinds."

"Extreme destruction, rebirth of all things."

"Life and death, rebirth and annihilation, two completely different forces were fused together by me."

"When a world decays to the extreme.

I don't wish to heal it, but with extreme destruction, I first destroy it, then establish a new order, bringing rebirth to the world."

The two forces on the former Demon Lord's body directly soared into the sky.

Stirring up the chilling heavens all around.

These forces, representing the power of destruction, were terrifyingly strong.

Such destruction was something Xu Zimei had never seen in his life.

Wherever it reached, not a blade of grass grew, all things were uninhabited, life was like a lamp in complete darkness.

This is true destruction.

Thoroughly overturning everything into destruction.

Even the Great Dao was destroyed, the earth and sky uncontained in destruction.

Upon witnessing this destruction, Xu Zimei felt something within.

What kind of Great Dao should he pursue?

Simple destruction and rebirth had already been tried by the former Demon Lord; it was not feasible.

Xu Zimei felt he was rather greedy.

He wanted it all.

Just like the embryo of his True Fate.

He wanted to take the cosmos as a foundation and create a Cosmic True Fate.

His Dao must align with the cosmos.

But he had never seen the true cosmos.

Didn't know what kind of Dao belonged to the cosmos.

For a moment, he fell into confusion.

While the former Demon Lord was still evolving his Great Dao.

After destruction comes rebirth.

What is rebirth?

A completely new life, a completely new world.

All things renewed.

Grass roots, tree branches budding, babies born, world peace.

Everything is brand new.

Everything starts anew.

Heaven and earth had not yet been polluted, Myriad Clans had not yet disputed.

Upon seeing this rebirth, Xu Zimei began to ponder.

First, for a world to exist, destruction is indispensable.

Just like the alternation between dynasties.

After at most a few hundred years, a dynasty must end.

So destruction, Xu Zimei must comprehend it.

His Great Dao must have a place for destruction.

Besides destruction, as for rebirth.

Xu Zimei felt rebirth was incorrect.

This path was not viable.

Another path must be taken.

Xu Zimei called it creation.

Because with creation, there is rebirth.

Otherwise without creation, where is rebirth?

All things and matters don't just appear out of nowhere.

If a species went extinct, without creation, only rebirth, then it may never appear again.

Haven't there been enough extinct species in this world?

So, creation is the root of everything.

And apart from creation and destruction, what else is needed?

Xu Zimei continued to sink into deep thought.

When the former Demon Lord finished evolving his Great Dao, he saw Xu Zimei pondering deeply.

So he asked: "Anything you don't understand, you can ask me, I can help you analyze it."

Xu Zimei shared his vision with the former Demon Lord.

The other was stunned for half a day.

Didn't react for most of the day.

He hadn't expected Xu Zimei's ambition was so big.

To take the cosmos as a basis, condense a cosmic miniature, then walk the Cosmic Great Dao.

Being both Demon Lords, at that moment, the former Demon Lord felt a great sense of depth.

Their insights were not on the same level at all.

He originally thought his Great Dao could inspire Xu Zimei.

Unexpectedly, his Great Dao was merely a small path in Xu Zimei's vision.

He fell silent.

"Isn't it too big," the former Demon Lord asked.

He was somewhat worried Xu Zimei's goal was too grand.

Sometimes aiming big is good, but also bad.

Without sufficient capacity to support it, everything is just a delusion, a castle in the air, quickly to shatter.

That's just imagination, an unreal goal.

So Xu Zimei's vision was unimaginable even for the former Demon Lord.

"Not too big, if one doesn't have aspirations of the clouds, how can there be the force to challenge the heavens?"

"I'm simply taking one step at a time."

Xu Zimei replied.

He understood the former Demon Lord's concerns and could empathize.

But the other didn't know he had the Chaos Pearl and Divine Continent as foundation and support.

His vision was absolutely not baseless.

But some things he hadn't told the other.

Like the existence of the Divine Continent, until it was time for the Heaven Challenge, he would never reveal it.

Also, the mysterious Chaos Pearl, he feared even during the Heaven Challenge, he wouldn't tell others.

The existence of a trump card is precisely so others cannot fathom it or see it clearly.

This is the safest.

"I have a vision, beside destruction and creation, is there also a need for fate?"

The former Demon Lord suddenly said.

"All things in the world cannot escape the pull of fate."

"Everyone's life is a River of Fate."

"Fate is omnipresent, all-encompassing, also distributed throughout the world."

The former Demon Lord's words received Xu Zimei's approval.

Fate can entirely rank alongside destruction and creation.

"Then it is thus, first set down three Great Daos, as for later when I see the true cosmos, add more."

Xu Zimei said.

After all, his Cosmic embryo had not yet completed its condensation.

The Great Dao is not complete, he was not in a rush.

But with a vision, next would be action.

Before challenging the heavens, there were many things he needed to prepare.

First, surpass the Ten Million Great Daos.

But as mentioned before, beyond Ten Million Great Daos, it is not Hundred Million Daos.

Because Heavenly Dao does not allow anyone to comprehend a Perfection Great Dao.

So Heavenly Dao has its deficiencies.

True Martial Great Emperor substituted Heavenly Dao with Yuan Central Continent, ultimately leading his Great Dao completion to Perfection.

And Xu Zimei plans to use the Divine Continent as a basis to bear his Great Dao, ultimately reaching Hundred Million Daos completion.
