Chapter 157: Chapter 155: She Wanted to Make the Heavenly Dao Her Father and Got Struck by Lightning
The mont her voice fell, she suddenly felt the world around them tremble.
In that sa instant, the minds of everyone in the Cultivation World went blank for a mont. Simultaneously, new knowledge about Cultivation and the concept of cultivation levels appeared in their minds. It was as if this was information they had always known, accessible with a single thought. At the sa ti, all the Cultivation thods in the Cultivation World were upgraded as well. New Magic appeared, techniques that could only be cultivated at realms like the Refining Void and rging Realm, but everyone remained blissfully unaware.
Aside from a few powerful figures who could glimpse heavenly secrets, no one else even suspected that the world had changed in that instant.
At this mont, disciples were standing around in the Bloodfiend Den’s plaza.
Soone scratched their head.
"Why do I feel like my mind just had a mont of epiphany?"
"You’re not the only one. I felt it too. Does this an I’ve gotten stronger?"
"You? Strong? You’re just in the Foundation Establishnt Stage. If you’re strong, then I must be absurdly powerful."
’Wait, why is my head full of thoughts about Cultivation Levels like Divinity Transformation and Void Refining? Those are realms I’ll never reach in my lifeti. I must be getting a big head lately. No, I need to go ditate and stabilize my mind...’
It wasn’t just them; Javier Sinclair and Celeste Grant felt it too.
Celeste Grant was the first to jump up in shock.
"Holy cow... W-What’s going on? Isn’t all this stuff in my head what I just said?"
’In that mont, the knowledge of Cultivation Levels felt like sothing she should have known from birth. If she hadn’t known she was the one who proposed it, she would have assud these Cultivation Levels had always existed in this world.’
Javier Sinclair’s Cultivation was high, so his perception of the change was the most distinct.
’The Heavenly Dao of this world has adopted her suggestions and perfected its rules.’ He could feel that the world had been upgraded, becoming more solid. ’It seems that before this, this world was a low-level existence among the Lower Realms.’
Celeste Grant figured it out too.
She looked up at the sky.
"Heavenly Dao?"
Just as she was wondering if she had misunderstood, she saw multicolored auspicious clouds appear in the sky above, along with a pink cloud... no, that was a heart.
She rubbed her eyes.
’Did the Heavenly Dao just make a finger heart at ?’
’This is so ridiculous.’
She tugged on Javier Sinclair’s sleeve.
"Did you see that?"
Javier Sinclair looked up.
"The multicolored auspicious clouds? I saw them."
"No, there was a heart."
He shook his head slightly and said, "I didn’t see it. Perhaps only you can."
Celeste Grant was overco with emotion.
She muttered to herself.
"So it’s true that the end of science is taphysics. My horizons have truly been broadened." ’But then again, in a world where Cultivation exists, a living Heavenly Dao is normal too.’
’In any case, it can’t hurt to pay so respects at a ti like this. Who knows, maybe it’ll go easy on
during my Heavenly Tribulation in the future.’
"What are you just standing there for? Bow and pay your respects."
She pulled Javier Sinclair along.
"Greetings, Lord of Providence."
Javier Sinclair: "..."
’How awkward.’
’As the dignified Demonic Sovereign, I would absolutely... never mind.’
’No one’s watching anyway.’
Javier Sinclair bowed with a calm expression, and that was it. But Celeste Grant, beside him, had many more requests.
She could be heard muttering, "Lord of Providence, bless , bless
lots, may good fortune co from all directions, rolling in like a tide. Grant that I strike it rich today, that everything goes smoothly, that I’m blessed with good fortune, and that all my wishes co true. Bless my whole family with safety, and let my Cultivation advance by a thousand miles a day so I can ascend. Let those who love
get rich, and let those who hate
have bad luck."
The Heavenly Dao: "..."
’This child asks for too much.’
Celeste Grant looked up and saw a single word appear above.
"Scram"
Celeste Grant let out a dry laugh.
"I can lower my demands, you know."
A golden light from the sky descended upon her.
Celeste Grant raised her hand and glanced at it.
’It’s rit Golden Light.’
’The aning was self-evident: this is all you get, take it or leave it.’
’See? It never hurts to pay respect. A little is better than nothing. I’m not picky.’
"Thank you for your blessing, Lord of Providence! Lord of Providence, you’re so cool! You’re my god, my ancestor! Here’s a heart for you, love you!"
The next mont.
A little more Power of Fortune appeared on her.
Celeste Grant’s eyes lit up.
’So His Excellency, the Heavenly Dao, likes to be flattered too.’
"Oh, Lord of Providence, you’re so kind! If you don’t mind, I could be your daughter! You can be my dad, Heavenly Daddy!"
Her answer was a bolt of lightning that descended from the sky and struck her directly.
It was a warning.
Smoke rose from Celeste Grant’s head.
"COUGH, COUGH! If you don’t want to, you don’t want to! Why’d you have to strike ? Fine, fine, I won’t say it anymore. You’re still cool as hell." She gave it a big thumbs-up.
’Looks like the Heavenly Dao doesn’t just adopt daughters willy-nilly. , wanting to be its precious daughter? In my dreams.’
The existence of Heavenly Tribulations in the Cultivation World ant that the Heavenly Dao definitely existed. The consciousness of this world’s Heavenly Dao wasn’t actually very strong yet, as it had only been born recently. It was still slowly figuring out how to perfect the world’s rules.
Although Celeste Grant was struck by lightning, the bolt that fell wouldn’t have even killed a Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivator. So, the Heavenly Dao was just warning her to talk less.
In a way, she was the first person to ever dare try to claim the Heavenly Dao as her father, even if she didn’t succeed.
Javier Sinclair’s gaze shifted to the sky, but he saw nothing.
’He had never heard of the Heavenly Dao bothering to interact with anyone before. In his experience, aside from trying to strike you dead during a Heavenly Tribulation, this world’s Heavenly Dao would never pay you any mind.’
The sky returned to normal.
Celeste Grant touched her head.
Looking at her hair, which had been zapped into a bird’s nest, she used a bit of Magic to restore it to its original state. "Looks like I’ll have to watch my mouth from now on and not say whatever I want."
"But... hehe, look at this Power of Fortune on . I definitely won’t run into any bad luck anymore. Sweet!"
’Jocelyn Grant has the blessing of fortune, which is why she’s impossible to kill.’
’In other words, after all my bad luck as the villainess, I’m finally getting my act together.’
Celeste Grant was very curious where Jocelyn Grant’s Power of Fortune ca from. Was it just because this world was created from a novel and she was the female lead, so she was naturally endowed with such fortune?
She was sure it wasn’t a gift from the Heavenly Dao.
’That damn woman is even bound to the World’s Will. Such a grand sche. What’s really going on? I have to figure it out soday.’
Just as she was thinking this, she felt her Spirit Root sprout from her head again.
"Why’d it just pop out on its own?"
Celeste Grant stretched out her hand, and a mirror appeared in it.
She took a look.
She saw the Mutated Water Spirit Root and Wood Spirit Root on her head complenting each other, especially the two small red flowers. Spiritual Energy now swirled around them, emitting a faint, dazzling golden light.
"Do I have to go through life with this on my head from now on?"
Javier Sinclair’s gaze shifted to her head.
"When did you get another one?"
"I’ve had it for a while. Didn’t I tell you?"
Javier Sinclair shook his head slightly.
"No."
He reached out and touched it.
"Yours is truly strange. Well, as long as it’s not harmful to your body, it should be fine."
Her Spirit Root was a part of her body, so when he reached out to touch the flower on her head, it felt like he was touching her directly.
Celeste Grant blushed and grabbed his hand. "Don’t just touch it whenever you want."
