Xiao Huo stood erect, his eyes a pure golden color, void of any emotional fluctuation.
Upon seeing this, Lin Yuan was not surprised.
For him, Situ Ming was the perfect vessel, and he could dominate his body with just a thought.
After all, everything about Situ Ming was bestowed by Lin Yuan, who couldn't resist him, and he didn't even harbor the thought of resisting.
Similarly, in the eyes of the supreme World Consciousness, the perfect vessel is naturally the Child of Destiny.
Whenever the World Consciousness wishes, it could descend into the body of the Child of Destiny at any moment and take control of everything.
Faced with the descent of the World Will, the Child of Destiny couldn't resist, and no matter how strong, it was pointless.
Years ago, Lin Yuan planned to force the World Consciousness to appear through those three Children of Destiny.
Regrettably, the three Children of Destiny had disappeared from the Five Domains Mainland a century ago.
Until moments ago, the aura of the three Children of Destiny reemerged, and Lin Yuan immediately rushed over.
Actually, Lin Yuan had no intention of killing the Children of Destiny.
He was merely feigning a murderous intent to test the waters.
Even if the World Consciousness did not appear in the end, Lin Yuan intended to hold back.
After all, the Children of Destiny are the favored ones of the Heaven and Earth's grand fate, the 'spokespersons' of World Consciousness, and killing them directly would be too wasteful.
Rather, it was better to slowly refine the traces of grand fate from their bodies, which might prove useful to him.
However, Lin Yuan was fortunate, as this slight probing managed to force the World Consciousness into appearance.
Lin Yuan speculated that the World Consciousness valued these three Children of Destiny so much because it had invested a lot in them.
If it were a hundred years ago, these three Children of Destiny would only possess the strength of the Ninth Realm.
Even if Lin Yuan decided to hunt them down, the World Consciousness might not necessarily intervene.
A Child of Destiny of the Ninth Realm, even if one died, cultivating another one wouldn't be difficult.
But the Tenth Realm... especially these three Children of Destiny, being at the peak of the Tenth Realm, just a hair's breadth from the Eleventh Realm, Lin Yuan even sensed a kind of homogenous aura from them.
If the three joined forces and stimulated the homogenous aura within their bodies, they could utterly unleash the power of the peak of the Eleventh Realm or even the Twelfth Realm.
To cultivate these three Children of Destiny, the World Consciousness obviously had also invested a lot, and wouldn't allow them to die easily at the hands of Lin Yuan.
"State your demands."
With pure golden eyes, Xiao Huo spoke in a flat tone.
At this moment, his own consciousness was in a deep slumber, completely replaced by the World Consciousness, making him the most powerful existence in this world.
So powerful that even Lin Yuan couldn't match him.
But the World Consciousness isn't a living being; everything it did had to follow rules, far from being as unrestrained as Lin Yuan.
"I want the Martial Tao Cultivation System to be eternally inherited in this world, thriving for tens of thousands of years."
Without the tacit approval of the World Consciousness, even if Lin Yuan made many preparations, the Martial Tao Cultivation System would struggle to endure.
Lin Yuan might not face any mishaps while he was present, but as soon as he left this world,
under the suppression of the World Consciousness, it might once again nurture another Child of Destiny specifically to eradicate the Martial Tao Cultivation System.
'Xiao Huo' directly refused.
As the absolute dominion of this world, 'He' was very clear that the cultivation system from the First Realm to the Tenth Realm was the most suitable for this world.
As for the Martial Tao Cultivation System... while not weaker than the native cultivation system, the World Consciousness faintly realized that allowing this path to rise in the Five Domains was not a good thing.
This cultivation system, which clearly bore the mark of a specific existence, could influence 'Him' if allowed to develop over a long period.
Compared to the third world that Lin Yuan traveled through—the Divine Arms World, this world's World Consciousness was much more intact, able to make decisions that were most beneficial for itself.
Lin Yuan's expression remained unchanged.
Since the World Consciousness hadn't immediately left,
it indicated that there was still room for negotiation, and Lin Yuan's initial demand was rather steep, yet there was still significant room to step back.
Outside the Purple Bamboo Forest.
Yang Bixin and Shen Lang's faces were pale.
When the World Consciousness descended into Xiao Huo, it casually threw them out.
Clearly, it didn't want these two to overhear the direct conversation between Lin Yuan and Itself.
Lin Yuan had no objection to this.
Yang Bixin's lips trembled slightly.
The power of Xiahou Yuan, that formidable devil, far exceeded their imagination.
Before meeting Xiahou Yuan, the three of them were full of ambition, devising a series of plans.
Such as what to do if Xiahou Yuan struck first,
what to do if they attacked first,
and how to save themselves if they couldn't defeat Xiahou Yuan, among others.
when they actually faced Xiahou Yuan, the three realized how naive their ideas were.
No amount of preparation could bridge the gap in absolute power.
In front of Xiahou Yuan, the three were like ants waiting for judgment, incapable of any other action.
If it weren't for Xiao Huo at the end...
At that thought, Yang Bixin and Shen Lang exchanged glances.
As powerhouses at the peak of the Tenth Realm, they were certainly far inferior to Xiahou Yuan, but they could instantly determine that Xiao Huo was replaced by the World Consciousness.
They also realized that Xiao Huo seemed like a different person.
And Xiao Huo's transformation directly caused Xiahou Yuan to stop and even expelled them, not allowing them to hear the conversation between the two.
Shen Lang harbored a guess in his heart.
He had received the heritage of an Eleventh Realm Powerhouse from fifty thousand years ago, knew many secrets of the world, including descriptions of the World Consciousness.
