Rewrite everything from the beginning?

Scoff.

Lord Qin Guang almost wanted to laugh at his overestimation of his own abilities.

Among the five elements of heaven and earth and the six paths of samsara, this race had the shortest lifespan and lowest spiritual intelligence, ranking at the bottom of the five elements and the most insignificant of the six paths!

With just him, he wanted to tear Him apart and rewrite samsara?

Where would that place Great Lord Pangu, who had fought fierce battles in ancient times!

Forget about this mere mayfly before his eyes – even if the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors from the Upper Void Immortal Realm came, He would not fear them!

One must know that in this realm, even dragons and tigers become mere snakes and insects!

No matter how heaven-defying his origins or amazing his abilities, how could he overcome Him, who was originally an avatar of the rules?

Originally, in this battle between the yin and yang realms, Lord Qin Guang had never expected such a heaven-defying variable to participate. That’s why he had gone to great lengths to use Jian Chou’s existence to set up the mortuary trap, intending to restrain this variable far away so it wouldn’t interfere with his current great undertaking.

Who could have predicted that he wasn’t the variable.

The real variable was that female cultivator from Yashan, the female cultivator who had brought Fu Chaosheng to this place!

The moment this thought occurred to him, He sensed something. His eyes beneath the twelve-tasseled crown narrowed slightly. He spread his arms toward mid-air, his wide sleeves casting two deep shadows. With a gesture of his palm, heaven and earth began to rumble and shake!

That was a power that chilled everyone to the bone!

Countless dark gold lights pierced through the void, like a dark gold river flowing from the evil soil of the Extreme Domain, from the surrounding cities, even from the burning earth’s core at the end of the “firmament”!

In an instant, they all converged together!

At this moment, Lord Qin Guang finally looked exactly like those statues that had stood in the various cities of the Extreme Domain!

Besides his ceremonial robes and crown, he had gained two additional items.

One was an unfolded scroll – the Book of Life and Death that governed the life and death samsara of the six paths; the other was a slender brush – the Judge’s Brush that marked souls, determined fate, and judged sins!

Dark gold light surged forth, making Him appear supremely majestic.

With just a lifted finger, he lightly made a stroke downward!

The Judge’s Brush touched the Book of Life and Death, and the dark gold light instantly turned dark red, flowing out from the brush tip like blood from an overturned pool.

For a moment, a thousand ghosts wailed and ten thousand souls shrieked throughout heaven and earth!

Those were endless souls trying to escape the samsara of the six paths in the gap when the Judge’s Brush fell!

But Lord Qin Guang’s brush was not aimed at them after all.

He merely looked at Fu Chaosheng flying toward him from the back of the Kun, smiled faintly, and sighed: “Mayflies – born at dawn, dead at dusk!”

Just these four words.

Whether in Fu Chaosheng’s own memory or in the memory of the mayfly race, these four words “born at dawn, dead at dusk” were as familiar as could be. They had always been just the ignorant unwillingness of this race from top to bottom, never possessing any power.

However, today these words were spoken from Lord Qin Guang’s mouth!

He was the rule, He was the law!

At this moment, it was truly the law following words!

“Bang!”

The instant the brush tip fell, it was as if some ancient curse had been unlocked. A line of text from ancient times actually lit up from the Book of Life and Death, then exploded outward!

Small at first, then rapidly expanding!

It spun swiftly, as if possessing its own consciousness, directly lunging toward Fu Chaosheng!

How utterly ordinary this move appeared to be?

Yet what it brought was precisely a near-catastrophic terror!

This was because this line of text was nothing else but the very sentence Lord Qin Guang had just spoken!

Born at dawn, dead at dusk!

The fate of mayflies!

No matter how much Fu Chaosheng, this existence born from the mayfly race, defied heaven, he could not change the essential nature of his original form being a mayfly.

Being a mayfly, he should not escape this fate!

All who defy heaven cannot exist in this realm – this was the rule!

Without Lord Qin Guang needing to say more, Fu Chaosheng knew what danger would occur once this rule descended upon him.

Yet he simply could not avoid it!

He could avoid it for a moment but not for a lifetime – he could not avoid fighting!

Because the Lord Qin Guang before him was his opponent, and behind him there must be even more crucial schemes. If he were delayed by him, then his abandonment of Jian Chou to forcefully attack this place would have no value or meaning whatsoever!

And he would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen!

His pale face showed almost no human emotion, appearing indifferent and cold. Only in those deep ink-green pupils did there seem to flash a glimmer of burning fire.

It was both rage and the fire of battle!

His light wormwood-colored robe fluttered in the wind, and the moss-like ancient patterns crawling over it actually swayed on the robe like water grass, resembling river fish swimming against the current to return to shore. With a “hum,” they shook free!

A trace of surprise immediately flashed through Lord Qin Guang’s eyes.

Because these moss-like green patterns that flew out would, after being scattered, transform into endless fluttering mayfly shadows!

They were too small to be clearly distinguished.

When they gathered and danced in mid-air, they only looked like patches of varying shades of blue-green ink shadows.

Clearly a fragile beauty.

However, when they whistled toward that line of golden ancient characters representing the rules, this fragility became a kind of tragic heroism of knowingly doing the impossible!

Moths to flame – it was both seeking death and moving toward light!

If that line of golden ancient characters was originally part of the rules, originally part of Lord Qin Guang, then this patch of blue-green ink shadow was part of the mayfly race’s willpower, part of Fu Chaosheng!

Fu Chaosheng defied heaven, and Lord Qin Guang also defied heaven!

The former’s existence was mayfly longevity, violating the rules of the Wheel of Samsara Scripture; the latter’s existence was rules given life, with no description whatsoever in the Scripture.

At this moment, this battle was completely not some low-level magical combat, but a Dao-method battle between heaven-defying and heaven-defying!

There was no such thing as “three thousand great ways, all roads lead to the same destination”!

Without fighting to the death, who dared to call themselves the “Great Way”?!

In Fu Chaosheng’s eyes, undercurrents surged. That scene from long ago on Deng Tiandao of the red sun bursting forth from the sea seemed to be reflected within, giving him utterly cold demonic nature.

He was fearlessly bold, not stopping for even a moment!

“Hum!”

There was no earth-shaking sound, nor was the surrounding world seen to be annihilated. It was merely golden characters and green shadows colliding together in this instant that was both a thousand li and close at hand!

That was a mysterious and profound change.

Impossible to distinguish with the naked eye, yet giving one’s heart and soul a tremor, as if some flow higher than matter and separate from form had been generated in that void.

What manifested externally was nothing more than that ancient character that had expanded into a golden river instantly turning to dust and mist, all falling upon that blue-green ink shadow, disappearing completely like quicksilver spilled on the ground in the blink of an eye.

And that patch of blue-green ink shadow instantly collapsed!

Just like being defeated by some irresistible fate, yet still having just those few points and traces, those few strands and wisps, persisting in extreme unwillingness, reluctance, and even indignation.

The rules said: fate as determined by heaven cannot be violated!

But even if the Scripture contained ten thousand sentences of “born at dawn, dead at dusk,” this realm, this primordial star, had still given birth to him – immortal and indestructible, surnamed Fu and named Chaosheng!

Who said rules cannot be broken?!

The so-called predetermined rules existed only for the purpose of “breaking and re-establishing”!

Fu Chaosheng did not use magical techniques to counter Lord Qin Guang’s laws, but neither dodged nor avoided, forcefully taking it head-on!

In just that instant, his entire person shuddered!

The swiftly approaching shadow, like something painted on paper, became somewhat illusory when illuminated by light!

This clearly showed he had suffered severe injuries under Lord Qin Guang’s single strike, having been stripped of part of the life force and demonic power gathered from the mayfly race’s willpower!

However, he did not disappear.

He neither collapsed in this heaven and earth, nor immediately turned to dust and ash, much less died!

On the contrary, after this strike, though his form had become somewhat more illusory, the will in his eyes burned even more intensely!

As if a flame was burning fiercely in the depths of his heart!

That law of “born at dawn, dead at dusk” was not a basin of ice water that could extinguish the fierce fire, but instead became a bucket of boiling oil that would only make the fire burn more fiercely, more intensely, more resolutely!

“At sunrise, I am born; at sunset, I die…”

“If hearing the Way means death, why should I accept it?”

“If the Way won’t let me live past one day, I will make the sunrise never set and the sunset never rise! Let there be no dawn or dusk in the world, no day or night! Let time never flow, let all eternity be like one day!”

That was the vow he had made when he was born into this world!

How could he fear the rules of this heaven and earth?

His birth was precisely because of these four words “born at dawn, dead at dusk”! It was precisely because of the ruthless oppression of rules, precisely because of the rock-bottom suffering of the six paths of samsara, that the mayfly race had given birth to a monster like him – an existence that transcended samsara and was eternally immortal!

Lord Qin Guang’s laws caused him pain and also made him strong;

They caused him suffering, but could not make him die!

—Born to defy heaven, how could he willingly die according to heaven’s will?!

The mayfly’s wings, elegant clothing.

My heart’s worry – where is my place of return?

The mayfly’s wings, colorful garments.

My heart’s worry – where is my place of rest?

The mayfly emerges from the ground, hemp clothing white as snow.

My heart’s worry – where is my place of explanation!

The blue-green ink shadow in the void became thin the moment it was struck by the rules, and when Fu Chaosheng passed through it, it clung to him again like morning mist.

But it no longer had its original vivid intensity.

His originally wormwood-colored ancient robe seemed to have suddenly been washed by water, the original moss-like pale color fading away, replaced by snow-white, like flying feathers illuminated by bright light!

At this moment, Fu Chaosheng was as light and ethereal as a speck of dust!

Dust that even Lord Qin Guang had failed to guard against!

Though he didn’t know why Shao Ji was so wary of this demon, He actually hadn’t taken this demon seriously, thinking it was something that could be extinguished in an instant under His rules. Who could have imagined that he could remain undying even under the iron law of “born at dawn, dead at dusk”!

To restrain him again would already be too late.

Almost at the same time He frowned, Fu Chaosheng had already reached before him, actually extending his hand directly toward his brow!

What kind of strange and eerie feeling was this?

Clearly seeing that what approached was merely a speck of dust, yet it was like facing endless stars; clearly seeing that what was before him was merely a small mayfly, yet when it fell into his eyes it seemed to become all living beings!

One sand, one world; one leaf, one bodhi.

Seeing the universe in a single drop of water!

Who said that the most minute could not be the most vast?

Able to break through the most minute, one could break through the most vast. Able to break through the shortest, one could also break through the longest. Then “born at dawn, dead at dusk” was the same as “eternal life and immortality”!

Fu Chaosheng’s hands mercilessly probed into Lord Qin Guang’s brow, and in an instant he felt that deeply buried power attacking him swiftly from the depths of His body!

Dark gold ancient characters instantly climbed up his arms and covered his entire body!

At first glance, it seemed as if his entire person had already been bound by Lord Qin Guang!

However, at this moment, he didn’t retreat even slightly, only pulling his lips into a smile: “Rules are dead, but you are alive…”

What was indestructible and inexhaustible were the dead rules, but it shouldn’t be the living Lord Qin Guang!

Since you were never truly born, why not go and die!

The instant these words fell, Lord Qin Guang’s pupils had already dilated suddenly, finally revealing some of the deepest, most gloomy suppression in his eyes. But Fu Chaosheng at this moment had vast demonic power coursing through his body, and despite being bound by Lord Qin Guang’s endless dark gold ancient characters, he acted, forcefully tearing from His brow toward both sides!
