âYou want to kill someone across a distance?â Elder Chan asked, âHow far exactly are we talking about?â
âThe farther, the better. Say, across a continent for instance,â Su Ping estimated.
The Archean Divinity was extremely vast, and the twenty-three continents were quite distant from each other. Not even God Kings were able to teleport to another continent.
That is, unless they had set up divine arrays in advance.
âThat distance is too much; itâs impossible for the attack to cross even with the perfect Dao of time and space. The only choice is to attack with the Original Dao World, but that requires a deep understanding of DaoâŚâ
Elder Chan glanced at Su Ping and said, âFirst, I need to test your understanding of Dao. You havenât found your own Dao Heart yet; I wonder if you can perceive the Original Dao World.â
âThank you very much, senior,â said Su Ping gratefully.
Elder Chan waved a hand as though considering the favor as not a big deal. Then, he pointed at Su Pingâs forehead once more. Su Ping instantly felt that his consciousness was dragged out of his body and his senses tapping the environment became clearer.
He could vividly detect the laws as they swam around him like worms. Aside from laws-as his senses sank into deeper worlds-Su Ping was able to detect a lot of complex paths that supported their world like corals at the bottom of the ocean. They stretched all the way to infinity.
âCan you see the Original Dao World?â Elder Chanâs voice echoed in his mind.
Su Ping suddenly thought of experiencing the Golden Crow ancestorâs world with the heart blood, and the world instantly changed before his eyes. Those complex laws and paths were suddenly constricted, and the world turned gray like the ancient chaos. Deep in chaos, there were tubes stretching all over like veins.
If we were to examine them carefully, it could be seen that many great paths were interlaced inside the tubes.
That was not exactly the world that Su Ping had experienced when he met the Golden Crow ancestor. The world he experienced was much bigger and close to the origin. He even saw the terrifying shadows lurking in the depths of the Great Dao. The paths and laws that floated out of those shadows were like rotten worms.
âSenior, whatâs the Original Dao World like?â asked Su Ping subconsciously. He wasnât sure if what he was seeing was the Original Dao World.
âThe Original Dao World contains a lot of paths. You may feel that plenty of primitive paths are spreading in all directions. There are also many lesser paths deriving from them. Let me give you a tour.â

Su Ping then felt that his consciousness had been divided. Part of his senses registered that the environment changed quickly; the ordinary view changed drastically. His senses were much keener, allowing him to see the dust and microorganisms in the air. He was able to see a lot of laws and paths as the view zoomed in.
He was eventually capable of seeing a lot of thick tubes spreading in all directions.
âThatâs the Original Dao World,â said Elder Chan, âOnce youâre able to see this world from above, it means that your consciousness has touched the Original Dao World and you can view the world in a purer way.â
âSo this is itâŚâ Su Ping was relieved; it seemed that he was successful.
âHow about it? Is it the same as what you saw before?â asked Elder Chan.
Su Ping replied, âThank you very much, senior. I think Iâve detected the Original Dao.â
âAre you sure? It would be futile if you havenât sensed the Original Dao, no matter how you study the divine skill Iâm going to teach you. Aside from that, you canât improve your understanding of Dao by studying it; you have to cultivate the technique later,â said Elder Chan.
Su Ping nodded. âIâm positive.â
Part of the consciousness in Su Pingâs head receded like a tide. The touching sensation on his forehead was gone. Su Ping opened his eyes and saw that Elder Chan had retracted his finger.
âYouâve just become a Dao Child, and youâre already able to perceive the Original DaoâŚâ Elder Chan looked at Su Ping with a strange expression. Such an outcome meant that Su Ping hadnât used his real strength during the Dao Child competition.
âYouâre not far from developing your own Dao Heart. It should be easy for you to find your own Dao Heart, considering your current understanding,â said Elder Chan.
Su Ping would become as strong as a God Emperor once he found the Dao Heart. As for his level, he could make a breakthrough at any moment.
God Emperors were extremely rare, even when considering the entire Archean Divinity. Ancestral Gods hardly revealed themselves, and God Emperors were the actual rulers everywhere.
Su Ping didnât comment on Elder Chanâs words. As a matter of fact, he could condense any of the three Dao Hearts that the Golden Crow ancestor had shown him.
Seeing the Original Dao World without the Golden Crow ancestorâs help. My understanding of the Great Dao was improved through his world. Alas, I couldnât see it as profoundly as the Golden Crow ancestor did with my own sensesâŚ
Su Ping was ever grateful to the Golden Crows.
âOf the three Dao Children, youâre the second to enter the Original Dao World. I thought it would take you several thousand years to reach that level. Looks like we underestimated you; youâre truly shocking,â remarked Elder Chan. Su Pingâs rise was definitely unexpected. Nobody knew him in the past, but he became outstanding all of a sudden; he had been absolutely unstoppable ever since they noticed him.
âWho was the first one?â Su Ping was quite curious.
