When that gaze fell upon Li Dao, he sighed, knowing that his existence had ultimately been discovered by Wang Taixu, the strongest being on this planet.
Li Dao looked up and saw a seven-colored light hole behind the figure, appearing to be a spatial passage, with an iridescent view at its end, making it impossible to discern what lay beyond.
The pressure emanating from that figure was enough to crush him.
This person was Wang Taixu.
However, he was not panicked. Firstly, the planet's limitations prevented Wang Taixu from making a move. Secondly, he had never done anything evil; his actions this time were to maintain the peace of Xia Guo.
Another reason was that in his prime, he was not weaker than Wang Taixu.
"Good!"
In the sky above, the Daoist's gaze lingered on Li Dao for a moment. Qingyao's face showed a slight smile, and after uttering a word, he vanished once more.
Li Dao then refocused his attention on the three-headed hellhound crawling out of the Gate of Hell.
Atop the beast's head of the Gate of Hell, Rakshasa Ghost's face turned completely grim upon seeing Li Dao's aura suddenly surge to the 54th Divine Tier. He resentfully exclaimed, "You are actually the ancient divine beast Xuan Li, and you have fallen to the point of willingly serving humans?"
"I just wanted to be a salted fish. Why did you have to choose this place to open the Gate of Hell and release evil spirits?" Li Dao shook his head. Under his gaze, the three-headed hellhound charged towards him, exuding immense ferocity.
Behind the three-headed hellhound, countless evil spirits, ranging from Tier A Level 30 to Tier C initial stage, poured out like a tide. After exiting the Gate of Hell, their forms began to enlarge, their roars and shrieks filling the heavens and earth. Endless evil spirits filled his vision, surging towards him in a torrent behind the three-headed hellhound.
Li Dao's expression was calm. Soon, the three-headed hellhound reached him. He could clearly see the coarse, steel-needle-like fur on its heads, its sharp fangs, and the foul saliva dripping from its mouth.
Only when the hellhound's head was less than a foot away did his gaze suddenly sharpen.
"Ice Annihilation Domain!"
Hum!
A silver divine light appeared on his brow. In an instant, he unleashed his innate divine ability. Immediately, silver divine light, originating from him, spread out in a fan shape towards the Gate of Hell. This invisible energy, upon its appearance, instantly froze the void in front of him, causing the entire scene to momentarily solidify, as if placing all existence within a block of solid ice.
His divine ability was terrifying, almost transcending laws, freezing all things, even souls.
"Crack!"
Li Dao snapped his fingers. Instantly, the ice in front of him shattered, turning into countless crystalline ice shards that fell, reflecting a pure white in his eyes.
The Gate of Hell, with its flowing black light, seemed to contain some supreme power, avoiding the fate of being shattered by ice. Even the Rakshasa Ghost on it was protected.
"As expected of the Xuan Li divine beast, to be able to control even the law of ice. However, the Gate of Hell has collected evil spirits for tens of thousands of years, and countless beings are unable to emerge due to cultivation restrictions. Can you kill them all?" The Rakshasa Ghost's expression was indifferent, showing no surprise at the power Li Dao displayed.
Subsequently, his expression softened, and he spoke, "Humans, in the end, are merely a combination of divinity and beastly nature, with good intentions and evil thoughts existing in a single thought. When they are unable to match you, they can be extremely fawning, but when their strength surpasses yours, they can take your flesh and blood, extract your soul, and refine it as a means to strengthen themselves. Is it truly worth it for you to risk your life for them?"
He concluded with a seductive tone, "Why not retreat now? With your strength, you can go anywhere in the world. Why bother risking your life for another race?"
"Oh? Is that so?" Li Dao remained unmoved, even showing a playful smile. The next moment, he flicked his finger, tearing the void. A drop of silver divine water transformed into a sharp sword and shot towards the woman lying in the bedroom of the old recycling station.
The Rakshasa Ghost's face changed. He waved his hand, controlling the black flow of light on the Gate of Hell to block the water sword, and angrily rebuked, "That woman has never done anything evil, and she is pregnant. How dare you be so cruel!"
"A Rakshasa Ghost born from extreme malevolence has developed feelings for humans and even given birth to good thoughts. What a great irony!" Li Dao laughed heartily, then his expression turned cold. "You also have someone you cherish. Why not close the Gate of Hell now, or perhaps move this gate abroad to harm other countries?"
"The Land of Reincarnation has already collapsed. The reason the Gate of Hell has reopened is to rebuild reincarnation in this realm. Do you think the Gate of Hell doesn't exist abroad?"
The Rakshasa Ghost said, "To rebuild, one must first destroy. Only by recasting reincarnation and transforming this place into a cycle of reincarnation can the souls of the dead in the three thousand great and small worlds gain new life. This cycle, repeated, allows the Heavenly Dao to endure. This is the general trend, and all who obstruct it are doomed to perish!"
"The immortal and demonic energies in this realm are constantly consolidating this void. The levels of evil spirits appearing from the Gate of Hell will only get higher. You cannot kill them all. Feel the despair from hell!" After the Rakshasa Ghost finished speaking, countless more evil spirits surged out from within the Gate of Hell.
Li Dao's expression also became completely solemn.

"So, this is a world of technology!" In the Pure Land space, after Tsunade and Hashirama Senju exchanged pleasantries, they, along with others, digested the memories of a certain university student, learning what kind of world this was.
"Hahaha, how interesting! Why isn't this mobile phone in the system mall?" Hashirama Senju laughed, unable to resist the urge to gamble on a mobile betting website.
Even though the university student's memories indicated that those betting websites were artificially controlled, gambling was about the process. He didn't care about winning or losing, he just wanted to experience the various gambling methods in this world.
"I heard that when you first start gambling, the house usually gives people a little taste of success. Maybe I can win money there!" Tsunade's eyes lit up at the mention of it, her entire being almost turning into a chibi version. But she quickly calmed down, shifting her attention to the various modern medical methods and theories, her face showing a hint of curiosity.
It was a pity that the university student was just an ordinary student and had no expertise in this field, only some conceptual understanding.
"This world... no, this world still has wars, but the entire Dragon Country has achieved true peace. Everyone is well-fed and clothed. Their laws are so perfect... and nuclear weapons, are they a deterrent like the Tailed Beasts? Indeed, peace cannot be separated from military strength!"
Hashirama Senju's expression also turned serious. After digesting the university student's memories and understanding what "redism" was, and seeing the contrast between this country's history and its present, his face showed emotion.
"Madara... perhaps we were both wrong... people-oriented, people-oriented. This country has truly achieved equality for all. The laws enacted have powerful forces to supervise and strictly enforce them. Is this the true meaning of peace? Unfortunately, other countries still have wars, and true world unification cannot be achieved!"
Hashirama Senju's face showed astonishment, and at the same time, many insights arose in his heart. He realized that his path had been mistaken.
After chatting with Tsunade, he learned that after his death, the ninja world had once again fallen into war. There had been no end to the conflicts between ninja villages and between countries; chaos still existed.
This also made him understand that once a ninja's strength reached a certain level, they themselves became beings outside the rules. Human desires were infinite. His mistake was in placing his hope in human nature. Only by unifying the entire ninja world through military force, establishing powerful armed teams for strict law enforcement, and simultaneously popularizing education to enlighten the populace, and electing leaders through democratic means, could peace endure.
Even if the political system would eventually decay and collapse over time, the people's wisdom would have been awakened by then. With their intellectual foundation, they would quickly establish a more perfect and healthy regime, allowing people to live in peace again.
Ninja schools should not only teach students ninjutsu and combat techniques but also impart their sense of right and wrong. While distinguishing right from wrong, they should also improve their cultural literacy and broaden their thinking, thereby achieving true enlightenment. This was equivalent to laying the foundation for a huge house; if the foundation was solid, even if the building collapsed, it could be quickly rebuilt.
Unfortunately... it was all too late.
The more Hashirama Senju thought about it, the more regretful he felt. This world had many advanced ideas and philosophical theories, such as Marxism, but this student was clearly a slacker, only learning a tip of the iceberg. However, some of the theories still amazed him, making him eager to obtain the complete works.
"Peace..." Jiraiya loved peace, otherwise, he would not have spent his entire life searching for the Child of Destiny who could bring peace to the ninja world. He fell into the same contemplation as Hashirama Senju, but soon his thoughts shifted to the rich and colorful entertainment activities of this world, and his expression gradually became lewd.
"Cloning technology, organ transplantation..." Orochimaru's face showed a pathological smile, his eyes filled with fervor. He had developed a morbid interest in the genetic and biological theories of this world. The related books in the system mall were akin to rare treasures to him, making him desperately want to understand them.
It was in this situation that all four of them became incredibly eager for energy points.
They yearned to obtain energy points and quickly integrate into this world, absorbing the theories and knowledge they needed, and resurrecting the people they wished to resurrect.
"Madara, and Tobirama, I will revive you and see together how this prosperous era was formed. But before that, all invaders must be eliminated. I will not allow such a world to be destroyed in such a brutal manner!" Hashirama Senju murmured.
"Duan, Nawaki, wait for me!"
"365 styles a year... here I come..."
"The true meaning of life..."
...
"Good afternoon, everyone. I am the proxy of the Main God, Yu Zhibo!"
Just as these individuals were contemplating, a sudden voice reached their ears. They all looked towards the source of the sound, and their faces showed surprise.
"A kid from the Uchiha clan?" Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly, and he licked his lips.
