The system stretched out its hand, and the divine fortune teller was suddenly swept by electricity.
"Taoism... stop being so stubborn. I just want to let... this world... everyone return to their original destiny..."
"A life that remains unchanged is no different from that of an ant. That's why you cause countless tragedies."
Rules are inanimate; knowing full well they're wrong, yet instead of thinking about how to fix them, they're treated as gospel.
The world you rule will one day become a source of decay, despised by all living beings in the three thousand heavens.
"ah--"
With a pitiful roar, the fortune teller was in unbearable pain.
Just when he thought it was all going to disappear, the system suddenly stopped.
"I'm giving you one last chance; you must seize it."
I'll make a deal with you now. If you can get Shen Zhao and Yu Xiyan to have a child, I'll give you everything except Shen Zhao.
"I'm returning all control over the rules governing all other living beings to you, and I will no longer restrict your oversight of this world. How about it?"
"It's impossible. That would violate the rules of Heaven. Shen Zhao and Yu Xiyan's destinies are inherently different."
"Rules again? You're really making me laugh to death."
Without saying anything, the system started giving the fortune teller electrotherapy again.
After a burst of sparks and lightning and a painful roar from the divine fortune teller, the system grabbed his hair.
"You want to talk about rules? You're not worthy!"
Do you think you, a bunch of self-proclaimed paragons of justice, are any more fair?
So what about chosen ones, destined women? In the end, most of them just couldn't stand the loneliness of a long, orderly life.
A product of exploiting loopholes in the rules to descend to Earth and make peace with humans.
The fortune teller was shocked when he heard this.
The system smirked and said, "Do you want me to take you to Su Yunying and Yin Chaomu and tell them who you are?"
The fortune teller's face suddenly turned pale, and there was finally a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Hehehe, are you scared? Decades ago, when your spirit descended to the mortal world and transformed into Su Luo and Yin Chaomu, enjoying the pleasures of indulgence, did you ever imagine this day would come?
You think you have done it perfectly and concealed the secrets of heaven so that no one can know. Don't forget, I am a Taoist.
"How could the words and deeds of all the celestial beings escape my discerning eye? Do you think you can hide such a thing from me?"
The fortune teller suddenly trembled like a sieve and couldn't stop shaking all over.
Finally, he began to plead desperately: "Please don't say it, I beg you, Dao Ancestor!"
Don't tell them the truth, this is the only time I have this opportunity. It's really the only time.
Please, please don't say that.
The system sneered at this: "What a joke! As the Heavenly Dao that maintains the order of heaven and earth, it actually breaks the law knowingly.
Those who are supposedly favored by Heaven are all their own children, born out of wedlock, and are euphemistically called the children of Heaven.
You are so corrupt that this system is truly amazed by the wonder of the Dao.
This is why I made Su Yunying die a violent death nine times in a row—it's to tell you this.
Don't think that you can hide these little tricks from me. If I really want to investigate,
This single technique alone could cause half of the Heavenly Dao to suffer a backlash from the Great Dao, resulting in their collective annihilation!
Faced with the system's undisguised threat, the fortune teller finally gave in.
Once the avenue backfires, he will definitely perish in the chaos.
He let out a long sigh: "Alright, I can agree to let Shen Zhao and Yu Xiyan get together, but can I really trust you?"
Do you have a better option?
Upon hearing this, the fortune teller lowered his head and pondered for a moment before finally nodding: "Alright, I agree, but you cannot interfere in how I treat Yu Xiyan!"
"That depends on whether your methods suit my taste, but remember to be quick! I'm gradually losing patience."
After saying that, the system instantly disappeared from the spot.
The fortune teller clutched his chest as he stood up and sighed heavily towards the southern region.
"Shen Zhao, I am truly sorry. As the Heavenly Dao, my duty is to oversee the order of a world, but I have made a grave mistake."
In order for fate to return to its original course, for the sake of my daughter, Yin Chaomu, and myself, I have no choice but to sacrifice you.
"After you learn the truth, please don't blame me. You possess the Primordial Body of the Great Dao; you should be able to break free from the shackles of fate."
The divine fortune teller walked dejectedly towards the southern region, step by step.
...
At this moment, in the void, surrounded by a crowd of heads of all living beings, the first list has appeared - the Imperial List.
Shen Zhao looked up and saw that, starting from the hundredth, all the names on the list slowly appeared before the beings of the Nine Realms.
The last ninety characters are not redundant; they are all characters from the Karami group.
When entering the last ten empires, even the fonts became much brighter.
Tenth place: Great Zhou Kingdom, Eastern Region.
Ninth place: Xuansheng Empire, Eastern Region.
Eighth place: Haiyuan Dragon Dynasty, sea area.
Seventh: The Hidden Empire, Eastern Region.
Sixth place: Great Yan Empire, Central Region.
Fifth place: The Great Heng Empire, Eastern Region.
Fourth place: Tianque Holy Dynasty, Dao Realm.
The third one is Xuantian Immortal Dynasty, Northern Territory.
Second place: Longhan Celestial Dynasty, Central Region.
All of the above were within Shen Zhao's expectations, but who would be the first one was something his family was curious about.
The last words that appeared were:
First place: ? ? ? , ? ?
What does this mean?
Shen Zhao fell into deep thought. In his previous life, the last dynasty to be ranked first was the Yintian Dynasty, but now the Yintian Dynasty's national strength was only ranked thirteenth, far from being comparable to its current state.
