Chapter 383: Gaining My Recognition

It wasn’t that Mo Xian was full of jealousy—it was simply because the connection between Shentian was too profound.
In Chen Xiao’s dantian lay that Supreme Divine Entity, which had almost become the core of his soul. It was Shentian, the predecessor of Wuyu, left behind by the Water Element’s ultimate treasure, Wanwan.
Shentian and Wuyu, through some twist of fate, placed this Divine Entity—and even the Supreme Divine Space, which was originally part of it—within Chen Xiao. Anyone could guess what this meant.
Moreover, the power of that Supreme Divine Entity was even greater than Chen Xiao’s Bronze Ancient Lamp. He couldn’t unlock its seals at all, let alone release the terrifying Water Element power within.
After devouring the Wood Ancestor and Fire Ancestor, Chen Xiao’s true strength was now almost on par with that of a Dao Lord. Yet he remained powerless against that Supreme Divine Entity.
It was only later that he discovered the entity had completely merged with his soul, becoming inseparable from it. Whether this was good or bad, no one could tell.
One thing was certain: these so-called Five Elements Treasures were by no means ordinary.
That’s why Mo Xian was so anxious about Shentian. Only Shentian, along with Wuyu—namely, Chen Xiao’s acquaintances Shui Miao and Kan Relas—by combining half of their memories and awakening again as the former Wanwan, could figure out what was really going on.
As for Yu Shi Huan, Chen Xiao never understood how she was connected to this matter. In other words, Mo Xian’s theory that Yu Shi Huan was also part of Wanwan’s reincarnation was utterly untrustworthy.
Even what Chen Xiao deduced after achieving Dao Unity might not be true, as it could be the result of others’ schemes—let alone Mo Xian’s.
…
“Shentian… I’m not sure. Judging from his aura, he seems exactly like Shui Miao. It must be Shentian, but there’s a chance it could be another impostor skilled in disguise…”
Seeing the extent of the disguise used by the person pretending to be Wuhen, Chen Xiao wasn’t entirely confident.
He realized Wuhen was fake solely because the real Wuhen had perished and become part of civilization—specifically, that legendary Heavenly Book, sensed by the flames of human civilization. Otherwise, Chen Xiao wouldn’t have been able to discern the truth behind Wuhen’s disguise.
“Anyway, let’s follow him and see. Someone who can achieve such a level of disguise must be no ordinary person. Moreover, since he has replicated everything about Wuhen without any flaws, he must know Wuhen very well and have a deep connection to him.”
Wisdom shone in Mo Xian’s eyes. The notes of the Source of the Dao grew dimmer in her mind, slowly transforming into nothingness.
This proved that Mo Xian also needed to break through to the Supreme level and reach the realm of a Dao Lord.
“Mm.”
Chen Xiao nodded. The Instant Dao and the Hidden Dao activated instantly, as he closely pursued Luan Feng and Shentian.
…
“Wuhen…”
Suddenly, Shentian stopped in his tracks.
“What’s wrong, Tian?” Luan Feng asked, imitating Wuhen’s tone with a smile.
“Why does that Suo Menluo want to control me?” Shentian stared intently at Luan Feng’s eyes.

“Because you hold great value to us. Only by completely controlling you can we carry out our plans,” Luan Feng said calmly, without any concealment.
“Are you… Wuhen?” Shen Tian’s voice trembled slightly.
“It’s me, yet not me.” A hint of panic appeared in Luan Feng’s eyes as he forced himself to stay calm. “Wuhen is dead. I’m just his shadow.”
“That’s so… He still couldn’t escape after all,” Shen Tian said in despair.
“He could have escaped.” Luan Feng’s breathing grew increasingly chaotic. “If he had wanted to live, he could have continued to live. But against the one who killed him, he was utterly powerless!”
“Who is it?”
Shen Tian stared at him with empty eyes.
“It’s… ah!!!”
Just as Luan Feng was about to utter that name, a giant hand suddenly descended from the sky, shattering his body into pieces and annihilating his soul completely.
“Hm?” Shen Tian, along with Mo Xian and Chen Xiao who were hiding in that instant, were shocked—unexpecting such a turn of events at this moment.
In the sky, golden light shimmered as sheets of pure white paper slowly drifted down under the glow of countless golden rays.
Eventually, these papers gathered together to form a book without any words—the Book of Heaven, the book that carried civilization.
Finally, this supreme book, recording countless cycles of creation and destruction of the world and the origins of civilizations, landed in Shen Tian’s arms.
“Heaven, I’ve never left you,” a desolate voice echoed from the book.
“But… I mistook someone else for you…” Tears could no longer be held back, streaming down Shen Tian’s cheeks.
“No, that Luan Feng was merely the manifestation of my obsession with you. Even when he pretended to be me to deceive you… it was still me who appeared at that time.”
Golden light shone brightly on the Book of Heaven, symbolizing the enduringness of civilization, while the voice from it was filled with deep affection.
Shen Tian, You Long, Wuhen, Xiu Wen, Hun Yuan!
Five golden names were inscribed on the cover of the Book of Heaven. Despite countless cycles of destruction and chaos, they had never faded even slightly!
The Book of Heaven protected their imprints firmly, allowing them to be reborn time and again in chaos, cycling endlessly without ever truly perishing.
“Why… is there no name for immortality?” Shen Tian gently stroked the seemingly real yet illusory pages of the Book of Heaven.
“Immortality… his mission… Sigh…”
“Could it be!!!” Suddenly, an incredulous look flashed in Shen Tian’s eyes. “The name that person was about to say was stopped by you…”
“Shen Tian, there are many things that ‘people’ cannot control. Just like Immortality’s mission, and… your own mission as well.”
Shen Tian bit his lip and remained silent.
“Elder brother, Sixth Sister.”
At that moment, a chorus of prayers from beings across the world filled the air—prayers for immortality, attempts to avoid death, and endless desires for eternal life.

It was a man with only a pair of terrifying blood-red eyes on his face, yet the light emanating from those eyes was incredibly gentle.
Chen Xiao, hidden within an instant, felt his heart sink sharply. In that moment, the Eye of Reincarnation opened instantly, and he raised his head to look at the Celestial Track.
Sure enough!
There was nothing left on the Celestial Track!
That terrifying being attached to the Celestial Track had left at some unknown time, and the Celestial Track seemed to be slowly recovering, ready to resume its mission of supporting the world and upholding the rules.
But outside the Celestial Track, in the endless chaos, there was a barely perceptible space. Within that space, countless life imprints, too numerous to count, emitted glows of desires, effectively imprisoning the Celestial Track!
……
“Elder… Second Brother? Or…?”
Shen Tian’s body trembled violently. She would never forget those blood-red eyes. Through countless cycles of reincarnation, they and their siblings had almost all been killed by the owner of those eyes!
And now, the owner of those eyes was emitting a familiar, comforting aura.
That second brother who appeared cold on the outside but caring for all living beings… was it the Immortal Dao Lord?
“It’s me. I am the being whom all living beings have long wished to kill and devour. I am also the Immortal Dao Lord whom they revere.”
“Chen Xiao, come out. Your Dao has become increasingly refined… If not for you using the Eye of Reincarnation to touch those life imprints just now, I wouldn’t have been able to sense you.”
The Immortal Dao Lord spoke.
“Hehe, in my mind, the Immortal Dao Lord is a hero with flowing black hair and an upright spirit.”
Chen Xiao appeared out of nowhere, holding Mo Xian’s hand. The Immortal Dao Lord made Chen Xiao sense the existence of reincarnation. All along, in Chen Xiao’s heart, the Immortal Dao Lord had always been seen as a hero, an idol.
But now…
Chen Xiao had seen this appearance of the Immortal Dao Lord countless times in secret. Back then, his figure was countless times larger than now. It was exactly the appearance of that being on the Celestial Track—blood-red eyes, nothing else, no patterns anywhere on his body.
Although he resembled a human, he could by no means be called human.
Yet Chen Xiao sensed another kind of thought from him… a thought that all living beings possess—the desire for immortality, the desire not to die, the desire to live forever.
In other words, as long as living beings continued to desire immortality, the Immortal Dao Lord would never die, and his strength would keep growing. Even if all living beings were extinct, he would continue to exist, upholding the will of living beings.
“Shui Miao.”
Chen Xiao turned her head and smiled at the shocked Shui Miao.
“Chen Xiao, you are crucial. You must not suffer any accidents—protect yourself well.” At that moment, the Heavenly Book spoke.
“And also, kill or get rid of this woman by your side.”
Hearing the words of the Heavenly Book, Mo Xian’s body trembled.
But the next moment, Chen Xiao immediately took her hand and pulled her close to her.

“What you say makes sense, but what I adhere to is my own heart,” Chen Xiao said calmly. He didn’t ask for reasons nor showed any excitement; on the contrary, he was surprisingly composed.
“Do you know how an ordinary woman could obtain the notes of the Source of the Dao?” The tone of the Heavenly Book was sharp, yet it carried no emotional fluctuations at all.
“She…”
“I am the one chosen by the Dao. Since she inherited its notes, she too has been recognized by the Dao. Of course, that’s unimportant. What matters more is that she has my recognition.”
Chen Xiao shrugged and said.
