Chapter 1 Endless Dào

"hahaha, how long have I been here trillions of years? more? yet the dao eludes me I always think there's just a little bit a tiny gap remaining but I can never find that tiny gap maybe that's how the universe works maybe none of us can find the dao no wonder then, that is unless, or maybe it doesn't even exist maybe I'm just deluding myself to believe in something that doesn't exist maybe I should stop existing how many people have been in my place and how many will be in my place after I die yes yet I think if I continue to persevere just a second more just a moment longer maybe just maybe I can find it all something inside me tells me I might never find it I should just give up all.

the logical thinker will probably do something else maybe have a family have children maybe even move on or just do something else but I know one thing for sure even if my soul dies out I will continue moving forward I will continue to persevere then maybe I can find my dao.

...

Countless years later.

I seem to I've lost track of time I can't continue to do this if I stay in the state of the endless dao my soul will burn out hahaha how pathetic am I. if I just leave here and leave this place and slowly heal my soul or even reincarnated myself I can leave forever but if I lose this chance to get dao to help me with finding my dao I will never find it

wait?

I seem to have forgotten about something important to me in any case I won against mortals immortals demons devil's gods and even the heavenly dao and none of them could even kill me even if I lost a body several times I still came out on top even if hid for millions of years or even cultivated I never slacked off even if the world tried to pollute my dao heart with women or children I stayed strong and patiently cultivated

It's not my talent alone that played a part in my success but my perseverance, distrustful nature, and most importantly my cowardice

While others cultivated strong daos like creation, space, time, devour, nothingness, void, heartless, ruthless, power, extremity, and other 3000 dao or the 72000 minor daos or the dao under them I chose the dao of self

Maybe that's why I can't find it here the of self is me so that's how it's I can't find it outside like other daos cause I'm the dao itself"

"fuck"

at that moment he realized it was impossible to own your dao unless you own a universe to go with it no one wants another person to own their dao in their universe

"fuck I really fucked up but it's okay at most I have to face some heavenly tribulations but I will be fine since the universe does not have its own free will and with my luck, I will be fine since I am the darling of the universe... "

But he almost choked on his words when he heard

"And what makes you think I will forgive or even help since you tried that"

"I helped survive time after time and this is how you thank me by destroying my foundation you could have used any dao present here, in fact, you were already immortal and nothing could destroy you in this universe but you decided to do the most foolish thing you could you still have a chance leave that behind and be an immortal emperor"

"hahaha go fuck yourself I helped you destroy those people and worlds and you got all the energy returned to you but I got negative karma and heavenly tribulations everywhere I went and you can't even kill me so don't waste your breath"

"I think you've outlived your usefulness

Dào zhī shàng"

"Come bite me"

"Although I can't kill you I can still send you out of the universe into the chaos "

Dào zhī shàng would be having black lines creeping into his forehead if he had a body but after a moment he laughed in contempt "You can't do it because you will lose your energy and cause imbalance to your great Dàos and even risk chaos infection which you can't stop because you'll be asleep and even if you get a prodigy to take care of it what if he becomes the next me?"

"This time I made preparations so don't you worry you can go and die or leave that unformed dao behind it's so useless it's not even one percent formed and you even last a million outside even with your whole soul now can you even last a thousand years outside and with the state of your soul you're not going to have the chance to reincarnate don't be stupid and just give up you've always known when to move forward or to take a step back"

Dào zhī shàng thought for a while trying to stall for time and get his dao 10 percent formed with the energy he will plunder from the universe.

"don't even try to stall for the time you have three breaths of time"

...

"Times up what have you decided what have decided?"

"My final decision is please go fuck yourself hahaha"

"We wish all the best outside and please don't hold grudges before your death "

"Don't worry I'll make sure you're not far behind me hahaha"

The universal will was gathering enough energy to kick out Dào zhī shàng was gathering as much energy as possible to make the first percent or even 1.5 percent if he gathered even 2 percent he would be able to run away from a dangerous situation and even hold up until he could sneak into another universe.

Just as he reached one percent the universal will finished and teleported him out of the universe and into the chaos...
