It is not fatalism. For them to do these small things, heavenly merit descends, is that reasonable?
Were they not destined by fate to do these things?
Did the Human Race establish civilization not through destiny, but through their own efforts?
"Ming Yuan."
Fang Ming laughed heartily, looking at the utterly collapsed tribal chief Ming Yuan.
"Your Dao is wrong!"
Fang Ming's confrontation with Ming Yuan was not aimed at the person, but at his ideology.
For such a fervent believer, what could be more devastating than killing them? It was to destroy their spirit!
"Back then, Xuan Du abandoned the dignity of the Human Race, begging gods and buddhas everywhere, becoming a dog, that was already wrong!"
"The Ming Yuan Tribe was originally founded by Xuan Du. You inherited Xuan Du's ideology, became the chief, and begged for salvation from the Grand Pure Sage like a dog..."
"That was already a grave mistake!"
"The ancestors of the Human Race created civilization with their own hands, drilling wood for fire, building houses. "
"Not some damned heavenly destiny, fated by destiny, or heavenly merit descending!"
"In my eyes, there is no Heavenly Dao!"
Fang Ming remembered the ancient ancestors on Earth, drilling wood for fire, building houses, all done by the Human Race themselves, all a struggle between the Human Race and nature.
This is called man conquering heaven.
When did the so-called myths of the Great Desolation twist this spirit of man conquering heaven into fatalism, the idea that Heavenly Dao bestows merit, and that destiny dictates certain individuals will do certain things?
It is a reversal of what is right!
The myths of the Great Desolation are truly the lingering poison of feudalism! They cause immense harm!
They make people forget the Yan and Huang Emperors, the ancestors of the Human Race, and instead worship fabricated false gods like the Grand Pure Sage!
The achievements of our ancestors are buried, while false gods are worshipped in palaces. How tragic this is!
"Ming Yuan, you previously said that I abolished the Golden Core Dao, and that the Grand Pure Sage was watching a monkey show."
"Then now, I have pushed the statue of the Grand Pure Sage into a cesspool, is he still watching a monkey show!"
"Is the Grand Pure Sage enjoying this spectacle in the cesspool, and therefore has not acted against me, tacitly approving my actions?"
Killing the spirit.
Tribal Chief Ming Yuan explained everything in a charlatan-like manner.
When Fang Ming abolished the Golden Core Dao, the Grand Pure Sage did not intervene. His explanation was that the Grand Pure Sage was watching a monkey show.
Fine, watching a monkey show, a very good explanation, treating the rise of the Human Race as a monkey show, right?
Such a reason could be found.
Then now, the Grand Pure Sage sees his statue being pushed into a cesspool, can he still watch this show?
Ming Yuan, how do you explain this?
"This..."
Tribal Chief Ming Yuan was now in a dilemma.
He now had two choices.
Either, he had to admit that the Grand Pure Sage had a peculiar taste in entertainment, that he could watch his own statue, worshipped and revered by the Human Race, being pushed into a cesspool with great enjoyment.
He watched the monkey show, and he enjoyed it immensely.
Or, he had to admit that the Grand Pure Sage could not have foreseen this scene at all, that he was not omniscient, and did not even know that his own statue was being so extremely insulted, that his own face was being trampled on the ground!
Fatalism is false, and man conquering heaven is achievable!
As Fang Ming said, his Dao was wrong!
The Human Race does not need to rely on immortals, buddhas, or gods, nor does it need to beg them to save the Human Race.
It only needs to rely on the Human Race itself.
And then—man can conquer heaven!
"I..."
Tribal Chief Ming Yuan was speechless. Finally, using his Golden Immortal cultivation, he performed the last divination of the Human Race's future in his life.
Golden Immortals, also known as the Undying, can also divine heavenly secrets with a flick of their fingers.
It's just that their divinatory abilities are far inferior to those of Sages.
Fang Ming sneered, feeling the fluctuations of the Heavenly Secrets Interference Device, and controlled it not to conceal anything from Tribal Chief Ming Yuan.
A moment later.
Tribal Chief Ming Yuan, relying on the Golden Core within him, performed his divination.
In the future timeline, a crimson torrent of Human Dao swept over everything.
Whether it was the Heavenly Venerables and True Monarchs of the Xuanmen and Taoist sects, or the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Western Teachings and Buddhism.
Or the man-eating demon court and its myriad demons.
All were defeated by this crimson torrent of Human Dao.
All evil spirits and monsters were overthrown.
The decadent old era was thoroughly buried, becoming dust in history.
At this thought, Tribal Chief Ming Yuan was moved and said:
"There have never been any gods, emperors, saviors, nor any buddhas, arhats, or bodhisattvas."
"The happiness of the Human Race can only be created by the Human Race itself."
Tribal Chief Ming Yuan looked at Fang Ming with profound meaning.
"Fang Ming, you are a good Human Emperor."
"The future of the Human Race is in your hands."
"I only regret that I cannot personally witness that era."
"An era belonging to the Human Race."
"An era belonging to Human Dao."
"My Dao was wrong, this is my sin."
"I should also perish."
Tribal Chief Ming Yuan's body ignited with a great fire.
The three disasters of earth fire destroyed his physical body.
A cold wind blew around, annihilating his primordial spirit.
A Golden Immortal who cultivated the Golden Core Dao perished.
Tribal Chief Ming Yuan, using a secret technique, self-destructed, self-annihilated.
At the cost of his own demise, he highlighted the correctness of Fang Ming's actions.
The people around, especially those who worshipped the Grand Pure Sage, listened to the conversation between Tribal Chief Ming Yuan and Fang Ming, and then witnessed Tribal Chief Ming Yuan's self-destruction.
Their hearts were profoundly impacted.
Was worshipping the Grand Pure Sage, offering incense, faith, and destiny, truly useful?
When the Human Race faced disaster, where was the Grand Pure Sage enjoying himself?
Ancestor Xuan Du, a disciple of the Grand Pure Sage, disappeared from the Human Race after becoming his disciple.
Was he the ancestor of Xuanmen, or a traitor and ungrateful wretch of the Human Race?
Even Ming Yuan, who worshipped Xuan Du the most, at the critical moment of his death, reversed his beliefs and admitted his mistakes.
Why couldn't they reverse their own beliefs?
"Can heaven be defied?"
Previously, someone who had been kneeling before the Grand Pure Sage suddenly uttered these words.
As if asking himself whether Heavenly Dao was reversible or irreversible.
Until, his gaze fell upon the statues of the Three Pure Ones in the cesspool.
He smiled.
His eyes were filled with longing for the future of the Human Race.
"Sages are nothing more than this."
"Even a Sage's statue can end up in a cesspool."
"Then how can Heavenly Dao not be reversible?"
"Heaven, is reversible!"
"Fate is not to be believed."
"I do not believe in fate."
At this moment, the sacredness of the Sages was shattered.
The shackles in the hearts of countless members of the Human Race were broken.
The shackles of thought were shattered.
The Human Race began to awaken.
An awakening of thought.
"Human Emperor, you have succeeded, breaking the fatalism."
Suiren Shi looked at Fang Ming with excited eyes.
As if seeing in Fang Ming the infinitely bright future of the Human Race.
Youchao murmured:
"The Heaven-Shielding Method, does not believe in destiny, and upholds the will to defy heaven..."
"Naturally, it is not restricted by heavenly secret divinations, nor can its fate be divined."
"All members of the Human Race cultivate this method, and all members of the Human Race will never have their fate divined."
"This is great merit."
"Not heavenly merit, but human merit."
Ziyi Shi sighed: "Although the heavenly numbers are vast."
"However, heaven can be defied."
"Man conquers heaven."
"Human Dao... conquers heaven."
