There was a reason why Ye Xiao chose to fuse with the bloodline of Endless Blade Oceanic Turtle.
This idea crossed his mind because of Xiao Qin.
Xiao Qin was from the Xu Family, the Family of Ancient Beasts. Every member of this family has the bloodline of an Ancient Beast.
However, Xiao Qin was incredibly lucky. What he awakened was not the Bloodline of an Ancient Beast but the Bloodline of an Ancient Divine Beast.
Now that a holder of such a bloodline appeared in front of Ye Xiao, he decided to fuse with it. Who knows, he might need this bloodline in the future.
On top of that, Xiao Qin only thought that Ye Xiao must be from one of the six Overlord Forces. He doesn’t know what family Ye Xiao belongs to.
With the help of Endless Blade Oceanic Turtle’s bloodline, he could transform into an Endless Blade Oceanic Turtle and then he could pretend to be from the Ancient Beast Family just like how he pretended to have come from the Calamity Family in the Formation God Tower.
At that time, no one would relate Ye Xiao to the same person who threatened Yu Mu and Yu Lun and forced them to spit out the truth.
Very soon, the integration process of the bloodline was completed. However, this bloodline lay dormant within his body. It is because what Ye Xiao devoured was an unawakened bloodline.
If Ye Xiao wants to transform into an Endless Blade Oceanic Turtle, he has to first awaken this bloodline.
Before Ye Xiao could think of how to awaken this bloodline, he felt difficulty in breathing. Only then did he realize that three hours had already ended. Now, he has to go to the surface of the ocean to breathe first.
Without hesitation, Ye Xiao immediately teleported to the surface of the ocean and took a few deep breaths.
This time, he did not immediately dive inside the sea, instead, he started thinking about how to awaken the Bloodline of Endless Blade Oceanic Turtle.
However, hours passed but Ye Xiao could not think of a perfect solution.
“Hey, tell me, how could I awaken this bloodline?”
In the end, Ye Xiao had no choice but to ask the Lotus of Chaos.
The Lotus of Chaos replied, “I don’t know about this as well. You have to find a way yourself!”
“You don’t know?” Ye Xiao was surprised and then spoke, “Haven’t I been walking on the path created by that ‘genius of True Chaos’? You are also guiding me to walk that path. Every step I take has already been carved in my path by him. Then how could you not know how to awaken the Bloodline of Endless Blade Oceanic Turtle?”
“Do you really think so?”
Instead of answering him, the Lotus of Chaos suddenly asked something that stunned Ye Xiao.
“What do you mean?” Ye Xiao frowned.
The Lotus of Chaos said, “Do you really think everything you do, every action you take, and all the things you face is controlled and arranged by ‘him’?”
Now, this question caused Ye Xiao to frown even more deeply.
“Is that not so?”
Ye Xiao could not help but ask in a puzzled voice.
“Of course not!”
The Lotus of Chaos seriously spoke, “What ‘he’ wants is your growth. You have to become someone no one could go against even in the true Chaos. How can you become overpowered if everything is laid before you on a plate, and all you have to do is eat? How can you attain overwhelming power if everything is handed to you on a silver platter?”
“A person who simply follows a path laid by someone else may become powerful, but they can never become truly dominant.”
“In fact, only very important situations that resulted in a sudden growth of your strength were arranged by ‘him’.”
“If we look back at the Heavens, then your birth, your encounter with the Heavenly Pearl and the Nine Ancestral Dragons, Queen’s appearance in your life, and my appearance were all planned by ‘him’. Other than that, every challenge you faced, everything you have gone through, and every situation you dealt with happened because of the choices you made and the steps you took.” ．𝙘𝙤𝙢
“In fact, if you think that the transformation of your Inner World into a Universe was planned by ‘him,’ then you are wrong. It was something that you created on your own. Your Universe is the result of your choices and the situations you came across.”
“But yes, after you successfully created the Universe, its development was again planned by him. It was ‘he’ who thought of making you comprehend the 3,000 Laws of Heavenly Dao and their Profound Meanings. Additionally, it is also his plan to transform your Universe into Chaos. However, this plan was made by him after ‘you’ created your Universe within your body.”
Ye Xiao did not expect to suddenly hear something like this.
At first, he really thought every decision he made and every step he took forward was already planned by that mysterious existence.
However, it turned out to be a false alarm. There was nothing like this. He did walk a path created for him by someone else, however, that path was like a blank sheet of paper. Everything that filled the blank sheet was written by Ye Xiao with his own hands.
The Lotus of Chaos seemed to have been triggered by Ye Xiao’s previous words. it might be because Ye Xiao always said that he is walking a path created by someone else for him.
Whatever the matter might be, the Lotus of Chaos continued to speak, “Your death was never planned by anyone. You died after stepping into Chaos because of your choice to unleash the ?Casual Punishment? to kill the enemy who might have destroyed the Heavens. It was your choice, not a stone thrown at you by ‘him’. However, you were lucky to have me at that time. ‘He’ sent me to you in the Heavens to never let you die. Your death is something neither me nor him could afford to have.”
“If we talk about Chaos, then ‘he’ had to change a few plans because of your death. Your rebirth in the Ling Family was planned by ‘him’. You obtain the ?Nine Revolution Chaos Scripture?, ?Primordial Chaos Grand Mysteries?, and ?Absolute Darkness Emperor Sutra?, your encounter with the First King of Chaos and the people close to him, you obtain the ?Golden Seed? and ?Essence of the King?, and finally, Master of Chaos Realm Queen’s appearance was planned by ‘him’.”
“Other than these things, everything that happened and every situation that you faced all happened because of the choices you made and steps you took.”
“In fact, if you think the ?Three-layered Miracle Fluid? was connected to you by fate because of ‘him,’ then you are wrong. The ?Three-layered Miracle Fluid? was a gift prepared for you by this Chaos, not ‘him.’ Just like that, if you think obtaining the Bloodline of the Endless Blade Oceanic Turtle happened because of ‘him,’ then you are wrong again. This is a choice you made. REMEMBER, THIS IS A CHOICE YOU MADE!”
Ye Xiao was intrigued.
Yes, he was.
It turned out he was wrong all along. He was wrong when he thought he was simply following a path created by someone for him from the very beginning.
However, the truth was that only a few major events were arranged for him. Aside from them, everything he experienced is the result of his own choices.
The Lotus of Chaos was right.
How could he become someone dominant if all he does is follow someone?
If he wants to become a hegemon, he has to walk a path fraught with challenges and obstacles, a path of his own.
‘So, even obtaining the Endless Blade Oceanic Turtle Bloodline is not planned by that mysterious existence. It was my own choice!’
Ye Xiao muttered in his heart and felt a great relief. He was greatly relieved to know that he was not someone’s puppet, being manipulated in a way they wanted.
He also understood that whoever that mysterious existence is, he needs Ye Xiao to become powerful, powerful enough to overturn any forces or enemies who go against him in true Chaos.
“I must become overpowered, a hegemon, a supreme being whom no one would dare go against!”
Ye Xiao silently muttered and felt a great wave of determination in his heart.
Now that he knows he is not being manipulated like a puppet by that mysterious existence, he calmly accepts the only mission of becoming dominant, a person who could dominate every force, even Chaos itself.
Although that mysterious existence did not tell him in person that becoming dominant is his mission, however, he understood this because of the words of Lotus of Chaos.
Realizing that he should not have blamed it, Ye Xiao immediately apologizes to the Lotus of Chaos and promises that he will never doubt or blame it for anything in the future.
