Zhang Tianle: "..."

This second-generation patriarch certainly doesn't resemble the patriarch at all; they've even taken direct action against him.

"If you want to know the current situation, why don't you go out and take a look?"

The second-generation patriarch: "..."

He can get out, do I need to tell him?

Offending guy.

"Grandmaster, you're not really stuck here, are you?" Zhang Tianle squinted at the second-generation grandmaster.

After saying that, he stroked his chin: "No, that's not right. Even though I went out, you were able to retrieve my soul, which means you can influence reality to some extent. So if you want to know what's going on, why don't you just see for yourself?"

The second-generation patriarch said: "You offensive fellow, I can only control things in the soul state, not things that are not in the soul state."

In other words, he can't see what the reality is.

"Then let's make a trade. You tell me about your deal with Heaven, and I'll tell you about the current reality. How about it?"

The second-generation patriarch remained silent for a moment, but as a person who enjoys entertainment, his love for watching the excitement remained unchanged, and his gossipy nature had even reached an off-the-charts level.

He can calculate many things, but it is precisely because he can calculate them that he is more curious about whether those things actually happened, and he wants to see how they happened and how they happened.

"Okay. I'll talk!"

The second-generation patriarch ultimately could not overcome the burning flames of the Bagua within his heart.

"Back then, the Heavenly Dao found me and gave me a general overview of what was about to happen. In fact, some predecessors had already foreseen that great calamity, and I had also secretly calculated it. According to the original trajectory, that great calamity was indeed 100% certain to occur, so after the Heavenly Dao found me and told me about their plan, I decided to participate."

This is also why Wenshundaotang has been able to continue to this day.

"The purpose of our Shundao Hall is actually to find a puppet substitute for the Heavenly Dao. From your fourth ancestor onwards, we have all been vessels for the Heavenly Dao's substitute."

The second-generation patriarch closed his eyes at this point.

Some things cannot be explained in a few words, but what he said is generally correct.

Of course, this also includes some of his own little calculations.

"Because of this relationship, our lineage has continued to exist in the world. And because I want to carry on the legacy of our Shundao Hall, I have lived on in this small sheepskin notebook, passing through the years."

The second-generation patriarch couldn't help but twitch his lips as he said this: "But who knew that after your patriarch learned the specifics from me, he would not allow your master to inherit our lineage."

This caused him to miss out on a major production of an entire era.

This still makes him furious to this day.

Fortunately, things went much as planned, and the child eventually opened the human skin scroll and released him.

"It seems that my ancestor was very conscientious and had a strong sense of justice."

Zhang Tianle, unusually, chimed in, only to receive a glare from the second-generation patriarch.

Anyone who dares to stop him from watching period dramas is a bunch of damned bastards.

The era from Zhang Tianle's ancestor to his master was a truly remarkable one.

It contains the changes of several dynasties.

People live hand to mouth.

If things had continued as originally planned, by the time of Master Zhang Tianle's generation, the Pangu Realm would have been in a period of great calamity, or even faced destruction.

"You should thank us for our plan, otherwise you would already be on the verge of the apocalypse. Hmph, you bunch of heartless little devils." The second patriarch sneered, "At the point in time when your master entered our Great Dao lineage, according to the original trajectory, this world would have already entered the apocalypse. If it weren't for the plans of those big shots and the Heavenly Dao, we would have been lucky enough to escape this calamity, yet you are here questioning our plans."

The second patriarch was getting angrier and angrier as he talked.

"You are a bunch of bastards. You have forgotten your ancestors."

Zhang Tianle gave the second-generation patriarch a deep look: "Is everything really as you calculated? Are you really sure that the original trajectory should have happened the way it is now, instead of the answer you calculated?"

Zhang Tianle's rebuttal enraged the second-generation patriarch: "Impossible! Our calculations could not possibly be wrong. We calculated this path through countless trials. Only the fusion of the two worlds can possibly change this terrible situation. Everything is at its most critical moment now."

"Alright, I've told you what I know. Now you should tell me about the major events that have happened from your grandmaster's era to your current one." The Second Grandmaster was too lazy to talk to this brat Zhang Tianle any more. After saying what he wanted to say, he quickly urged Zhang Tianle to tell him about everything that had happened over the years.

After listening to everything Zhang Tianle said, the Second Ancestor sighed, "I knew it. Everything is indeed going according to our calculations. The path of merging the two worlds is indeed the most correct one. Only by merging enough worlds will the Pangu Realm become stronger and more stable."

"We are not wrong! Our calculations are not wrong at all." The second patriarch said this excitedly, pacing back and forth on the spot.

His appearance was strikingly similar to that of Fan Zhongzhong, who passed the imperial examination.

Zhang Tianle's lips twitched slightly.

This second patriarch was probably a bit abnormal.

A normal patriarch wouldn't sign such a ridiculous agreement with the Heavenly Dao.

He had never seen such a terrible patriarch.

This means he sold out all his disciples and followers.

After Zhang Tianle finished speaking, he looked at the second-generation patriarch and asked, "Can I leave now?"

"Go on! Go on! Remember to come back and visit this old codger when you have time!"

Before the Second Patriarch could finish speaking, Zhang Tianle vanished in a flash.

He was afraid that if he stayed even a second longer, he would be tempted to commit a grave offense and punch the Second Ancestor twice.

Because of that terrible contract signed by the Second Ancestor, generations of ancestors were harmed. It is impossible to know exactly how many ancestors were forced to become puppets of the Heavenly Dao, but the number was definitely not small.

The second-generation patriarch looked at Zhang Tianle, who had vanished in an instant, and gave a bitter smile: "Sure enough, the kids these days don't understand us, nor do they care to understand us. They really have no idea that if we hadn't done what we did back then, they wouldn't be where they are today."
