Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 523 You're wrong, I am the other shore.

Youjie
In the current border sea, this place can be said to be one of the safest places.

The surrounding realms, even those that were once pseudo-transcendent realms, such as the [Mayfly Palace], have all been occupied by the Heavenly Court and taken over as its domains.

But on this day, the Netherworld, which was suppressed by the flawless lineage of divine weapons, also faced a catastrophe.

Doumu Yuanjun personally led the gods to attack the Netherworld, and confronted the Dao-carrying Divine Weapons of the Wuque lineage.

Mu Jiuzhou said in a deep voice, "Uncle-Master, what do you mean? Are you confident?"

The Divine Weapon remained silent for a moment, then said with unusual decisiveness, "No."

Mu Jiuzhou exclaimed in shock, "You're not even confident you can win over this woman?!"

"This woman?" the Divine Weapon said coldly, "This is the Great Dao Ancestor from a hundred centuries ago. She is now a fallen tiger. Otherwise, you wouldn't even have the right to stand in front of her and breathe."

Mu Jiuzhou stammered, "Then what should we do?"

The Divine Weapon of the Dao said calmly, "If I'm not confident, how can she be? Just stay calm, I bet she won't dare to make a move."

Looking around, Mu Jiuzhou saw that the gods of the Heavenly Court were stationed in the Boundary Sea and had no immediate plans to attack. He breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that his uncle was right.

"Um?!"

Suddenly, the divine weapon carrying the Dao unleashed its power, illuminating the vast surrounding sea of ​​realms and shining even brighter in the heavens of the Netherworld!

It suddenly turned its spearhead, its weapon aimed directly at the Netherworld, its killing intent palpable!
"Uncle-Master, what's going on?"

"Someone has infiltrated the Netherworld! They are attempting to break the seal of the Four Guardian Stars!"

"It's Emperor One again?!"

"No! It's... that person from the Heavenly Prison Palace! Luo Xuan! He deserves to die! The messy history left behind by the Demon Ancestor!"

The divine weapon carrying the Dao erupted with power, and with a gentle tremor, it shattered this void. Under the impact of the Dao, the world lost its color, pointing towards Luo Xuan in the Netherworld.

But at that moment, another terrifying aura coldly locked onto it.

"That's enough. I've already given you plenty of face. Now you can leave."

A detached yet undeniable voice came from not far away.

The gods of Heaven had not yet made a move, but Doumu Yuanjun was already clad in armor, her aura calm and composed. A simple change in her emotions was like the collision of vast nebulae, enough to extinguish a large part of the starry sky with a single thought.

The divine weapon carrying the Dao suddenly stopped, looking incredulously at where Doumu stood.

"This is...the Mother River?!"

She was merely standing in the vast emptiness of the Boundary Sea, yet it was as if she had stepped onto a crucial node of the Mother River of the Boundary Sea. Chaos surged, thick fog filled the air, and the Daoist aura surged forth like a torrent, bringing an indescribable sense of oppression to the divine weapons that carried the Dao.

"Be prepared."

The divine weapon carrying the Dao secretly warned Mu Jiuzhou, preparing to test this Heavenly Emperor, and there was no reason for it to leave so easily.

Doumu remained expressionless as she walked step by step toward Zaidai Divine Weapon and Mu Jiuzhou, seemingly also intending to make a move. Each step felt like it was treading on Mu Jiuzhou's heart, causing him to tremble and making him feel that the other party's figure was growing taller and taller.

He was, after all, a True Saint of the Supreme Rank, yet he had no courage to make a move in front of this person.

"Truly the power of the Mother River..." the divine soldier whispered.

In an instant, all the light went out, leaving only the gleaming halberd blade illuminating the sea of ​​boundaries, slicing through the vast array of stars surrounding Doumu, and extinguishing all the rules of the Great Dao!
When light reappeared between heaven and earth, the gate to the Netherworld was completely destroyed, the divine weapon carrying the Dao vanished without a trace, and only Doumu stood proudly in the sea of ​​the realm.

She stared at the completely destroyed portal to the Netherworld, snorted coldly, and knew very well that the other party was deliberately preventing her from entering the Netherworld.

But how could a single gate possibly stop her?

As the Daoist aura flowed around Doumu, the extinguished stars and the desolate starry sky shone brightly again, reshaped by her.

The stars echoed each other with the stars in the Netherworld, and soon a new starlight gate was opened. Doumu walked into it alone and stepped into the Netherworld!
……

Boundary sea.

Mu Jiuzhou gazed towards the direction of the Netherworld and asked, "Uncle-Master, did you win or lose this attack?"

The Divine Weapon of the Way said in a deep voice, "Neither win nor lose!"

Mu Jiuzhou nodded, which meant he had lost.

Immediately, Mu Jiuzhou felt a heavy weight in his heart. Even his martial uncle was no match for him, so who in the Boundary Sea could stop this person?
……

"The Nether Sea, the Eye of the Bitter Sea, and the Burial Sea where Emperor Yi is hiding..."

With a single step, Doumu turned the world upside down, her footsteps shaking the entire Netherworld and leaving behind endless Dao imprints in the void.

"It's like a garbage dump."

Doumu's cold gaze swept across the Netherworld. The vast Netherworld was thoroughly penetrated by her, leaving no blind spots. Even the Great Luo Heaven, which was jointly created by the Holy King and others, was thoroughly exposed by her.

As the foundational structure of the Great Luo Heaven gradually came into view, Doumu narrowed her eyes and muttered to herself:

"As expected of Emperor Yi, even if it's just a projection of that person from the lower realm, he can still come up with such a plan. It seems I underestimated him. Could it be that Emperor Yi in this realm has that person's true spiritual light attached to him?"

Soon, Doumu stopped thinking about it. No matter what Di Yi was really like, the tide had already turned against her!

Doumu stepped in front of the Four Guardian Stars, where Luo Xuan was already waiting.

"Welcome Your Majesty."

Doumu nodded slightly, her gaze falling on the Eye of the Bitter Sea, her eyes filled with reminiscence.

A hundred centuries ago, this Eye of the Bitter Sea descended upon the world, giving her the opportunity to overthrow Emperor Yi.

Di Yi might have thought she feared the Sea of ​​Bitterness as much as he did, but those whose true spirits have returned to oneness and crossed to the other shore are not vulnerable to the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Should we release ourselves from this sea of ​​suffering?
Doumu Yuanjun's eyes flickered; even though she was already standing before the Sea of ​​Bitterness, she was still somewhat hesitant.

"Is Your Majesty still hesitating?" Luo Xuan said. "I knew someone who seemed to have come from the Land of Return to Truth. His Daoist name was Red Lotus. He had been searching for the whereabouts of the Sea of ​​Bitterness. Unfortunately, he disappeared after the Heavenly Court rose to power."

Doumu reached out and broke the seal on the Four Guardian Stars.

"Ok?"

She sensed that Di Yi was also involved in the sealing.

This discovery made her immediately stop.

Emperor Yi not only released the sea of ​​suffering, but also personally added another layer of sealing.
This unusual behavior made Doumu more wary, unsure whether it was a trap set by Di Yi.

In particular, the struggle for the position of the Lord of the Underworld ended in a very unclear and ambiguous manner.

Think of this.

Doumu sneered inwardly, abandoning her idea of ​​temporarily escaping the sea of ​​suffering.

But she wasn't going to stop there.

Over the years, with her expansionist policies, that Ji Shizun is now not far from "collapse".

This might be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

This debate on the Dao should come to an end.

For being able to hinder her path for decades, Ji Jingqiu has already proven her true spirit has returned to oneness!

Doumu flicked her finger, shaking the seal on the Sea of ​​Bitterness, causing ripples to spread across its waters and stir up a raging tide. Its aura spread throughout the heavens and earth, clearly indicating that it was about to break the seal on the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Fellow Daoist Ji, the sea of ​​suffering is about to overflow, will you stop it or not?

……

A golden relic pierced through the void and entered the Buddhist realm, reflecting the true meaning of all the great Daos. It was held in Ji Jingqiu's palm.

Gazing at the relic, Ji Jingqiu remained silent, already fully aware of the whole story.

During this period, the Heavenly Court's suppression of him has been constantly escalating, especially the suppression of his divine status from the Investiture of the Gods.

He attempted to break free from the control of the Investiture of the Gods using the "Eternal Freedom Form," and although he failed, he still achieved some results.

After all, what [Xing Wuji] pursues is the ultimate state of freedom.

He collected the relics left by Ksitigarbha into his inner universe.

The relics are still here, and they will return someday, as long as he can win this battle.

He looked up and saw a sacred and lofty figure suppressing the Buddhist kingdom above it. It was Doumu's manifestation of the Investiture of the Gods, which was suppressing the Buddhist kingdom at all times!
After realizing that she had come into contact with beings from the Investiture of the Gods, Doumu's patience far exceeded expectations.

Over the years, Doumu personally led his army on expeditions to expand the territory of Heaven and Buddhism, which also made his "burden" increasingly heavy.

In just twenty years, the number of realms has exceeded two hundred!

Even with the [Eternal Freedom Form], his divine golden body was infinitely close to a state of 'melting', with a great sun seemingly burning fiercely within his divine core.

The overflowing divine power constantly influences and distorts the surrounding matter, and even spacetime.

In this contest, he was completely outmatched.

And on that very day...

Ji Jingqiu suddenly raised his hand, his gaze sharp as he locked onto the location of the Netherworld.

The aura of the Bitter Sea reappears; is it Di Yi or Dou Mu?

The defenses of the Wuque lineage have been breached by the Heavenly Court?!
"good news."

Hela disagreed and instead offered him advice.
"Didn't you say that your lineage of the World Honored One is known as the strongest in the Dharma-ending Age? As long as you sit idly by and watch the Sea of ​​Suffering appear in the world, you might be able to use the power of the Sea of ​​Suffering to turn the tables, suppress the Investiture of the Gods, find the right in the wrong, and forge a brand new path to transcendence!"

Ji Jingqiu felt the aura of the sea of ​​bitterness and remained stunned for a long time.

This time, there will be no more wood masters sacrificing themselves to suppress the suffering of the world...

He was too preoccupied with his own problems to spare any effort to stop Doumu from releasing the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Letting the world suffer as it is seems to be the best solution right now.

After a moment of silence, Ji Jingqiu regained his composure and suddenly asked:

"are you ready?"

I don't know when it started, but the woman who sat idly on the edge of the cliff at the top of Wuwang Mountain, who seemed to be becoming more and more human, smiled gently, her hair at her temples fluttering slightly. She was already extremely beautiful, like a collection of all the beautiful dreams of all living beings. In this moment, she was even more beautiful than before, highlighting the colorlessness of the human world.

"Ji Jingqiu, it seems a bit late that you're only now thinking about me and wanting to treat me better."

Ji Jingqiu said expressionlessly, "You parasite, why are you spouting so much nonsense?"

"Moths?"

Hela squinted, clicked her tongue, and seemed quite displeased.
"Your words are truly awful. If I hadn't already devoured all your divinity, there would have been no turning back once that madwoman forcibly pushed you to the peak of True Saint with the Investiture of the Gods." Is this how you treat your protectors? It's truly disheartening.

Ji Jingqiu sneered, "I'll just ask you one question: who exactly is the god in my temple?"

On the day he was forcibly "deified" by Doumu, another divine self emerged from the Heart Lamp, who was supposed to completely replace and change part of his essence.

This is exactly what Doumu Yuanjun wanted to see. What she wanted to change was his nature, to make him infinitely closer to the gods, and to achieve the alternation of "god and man".

But in the end, the divine Ji Jingqiu who emerged from the Heart Lamp collapsed the moment he stood up!

Like an ancient tree whose roots have long been hollowed out, it may appear lush and green on the outside, but in reality, it is a castle in the air that will collapse with just a gust of wind.

Finally, Ji Jingqiu used Hela's divine treasure method to inherit the divine status that the Investiture of the Gods had reshaped for him. The deity nurtured in the temple remains motionless and sits serenely in the temple to this day.

All of this can be attributed to Hela.

As I mentioned earlier, Hela has been corrupting his own divinity with his nature, but I didn't realize that Hela had already completely devoured Ji Jingqiu's divinity.

When did all of this begin?

Ji Jingqiu was initially unaware of the situation, but it wasn't until she recently saw the other side that she noticed something unusual.

The reason he cannot truly reach the other side is because of his own incompleteness.

Among them, it relates to his imagined creations.

The Bodhi tree, Fat Tiger, the formless wind, and the salted fish are his imagined creations, and also the stripping away of his true nature.

But now all that remains of me are the Bodhi tree and salted fish.

If he wants to reach the other shore, he must take back all four of the creations of contemplation and restore his nature.

But this is not the main reason. The real reason lies in the nature of being influenced by Hela and the divinity of eating.

Hela infected herself with her nature, but this was a reciprocal act, and he was also unconsciously infected by Hela's nature.

Taoism refers to it as "natural nature" or "original spirit," while Buddhism refers to it as "true suchness" or "Dharma nature."

It remains constant, unchanging and undifferentiated, neither born nor dying, neither increasing nor decreasing, neither defiled nor pure.

After being fed divinity by Hela and having his nature corrupted, Ji Jingqiu's nature was disrupted from its constant state.

Whether this is good or bad is hard to say; it's more accurate to say that fortune and misfortune are interdependent.

Ji Jingqiu later examined himself and discovered that it all originated from the time when Ji Shuai set a trap for him in Yanfuzhou.

That time, Ji Shuai set up a scheme only to make him usurp Hela's divine foundation.

How did he answer Ji Shuai that time?
It seems we have different principles and cannot work together.

That battle was the first time he and Hela fought side by side without holding back. Hela did not hesitate to sacrifice her own existence and forcibly descended into the divine realm to empower him.

Through this divine kingdom, he saw many things, where illusion and reality coexisted, and he saw Hela's vision of all living beings, heaven and earth, emptiness, the universe, and even the true nature, essence, and divinity!
And this is how it all began.

Afterwards, Ji Jingqiu reviewed the events and discovered that Ji Shuai's purpose was actually more than that.

Even if Ji Shuai's plan did not go as he wished, his choice that day would inevitably leave an important "mark" in Hela's heart, such as... the seed of trust.

But everything that followed was definitely not part of Ji Shuai's plan.

Is he a carpenter?

Or was it Hella's own choice?

Ji Jingqiu did not choose to delve deeper. "Stop playing around," he said calmly. "I can't hold on much longer, and I will never sit idly by and watch the Sea of ​​Bitterness appear. The strongest apocalypse brought about by the appearance of the Sea of ​​Bitterness is not what I seek."

“Can’t you just bow your head and admit defeat? As long as you lower your eyes, you won’t see the suffering of all living beings.” Hela said softly, “As long as you bow your head, with the help of the Investiture of the Gods, you will be able to transcend in no time. Even if you just sit and watch the sea of ​​suffering descend upon the world, it may allow you to break through that barrier, find the right path amidst the mistakes, and prove your Dao in this world.”

Ji Jingqiu stared into her eyes and said, word by word:

"I have never bowed my head in my entire life!"

Their eyes met, neither willing to back down, each seeing their own reflection in the other's gaze.

In Hela's eyes, Ji Jingqiu saw this scene—

Deep in the sea of ​​suffering.

It seems that no living beings have long since disappeared from this world.

Whether it was Mu Shitian, who was once at the height of his power and suppressed the sea of ​​suffering, or the various saints of the Netherworld who were forced to enter the sea of ​​suffering, they all disappeared without a trace at this time, leaving only a god with a human head and a snake body in slumber.

She opened her eyes under Ji Jingqiu's gaze, stretched, and slowly got up. The water of the Bitter Sea slid down her skin, but not a drop of it touched her, and the Bitter Sea did not affect her!

But what Hela saw in Ji Jingqiu's eyes was his entire life.

As Ji Jingqiu said, he has never bowed his head in his entire life, ever since he began fighting against the Pathogenic Poison!

Hela suddenly asked, "Ji Jingqiu, have you ever been grateful to yourself for believing in gods when you were young?"

Ji Jingqiu was stunned, not expecting Hela to suddenly ask such a question.

After a moment's hesitation, he nodded:

"Even if the gods cannot hear you when you are bedridden, it is still a source of spiritual comfort for the patient. If the gods could respond, that would be even better."

"I am indeed grateful to myself for believing in the existence of God back then, which helped me get through the most difficult period."

"In addition... I once really hoped that there really was a God who would respond to me when I needed it most."

Hela stared into his eyes: "Is this your reason for responding to all living beings at this moment?"

Ji Jingqiu remained silent for a long time before saying, "In the end, 'God' responded to me, so I also choose to respond to the world."

"Are you talking about He Donghuang?" Hela recalled the day Ji Jingqiu defied his innate nature.

Ji Jingqiu smiled and said, "Actually, I just wanted to see what it feels like to stand up for someone."

Hella took a deep breath:

"Ji Jingqiu, do you know what's going to happen next?"

“I have consumed all your divinity and seen the other shore with you. Next, I will seize your divine status, and then…”

Ji Jingqiu interrupted Hela:

"Don't talk like you're sure you can beat Doumu. She's more troublesome than you think."

Hela narrowed her eyes, her expression somewhat dangerous, but her gaze deepened, like the stillness of an ancient well.

She said coldly, "The reason I can stand above you and see the other shore is because I have devoured your nature. If I attain enlightenment, you will never have the chance to see the other shore again!"

"You're just groveling over my head," Ji Jingqiu said calmly. "The other shore is no longer what I seek. If you have the ability, then take it."

Hela suddenly erupted in fury, shouting, "Ji Jingqiu, do you think this is child's play? I'm stealing your path to enlightenment!"

Ji Jingqiu stared at her intently and said, "The three realms are a burning house. I don't even have time to save myself, let alone save others to save myself."

"You want to save me?" Hela said coldly.

“It’s you, and it’s not just you,” Ji Jingqiu said softly. “Doumu wants all living beings to lift up the Heavenly Court so that they can all see the other shore together. But how can all living beings reach the other shore if they are lifting it up?”

“All sentient beings possess the wisdom and virtues of the Tathagata, yet they still sink into the sea of ​​suffering, unable to transcend it, and unable to see the Tathagata, all because people in the world have never seen me.”

At that moment, Hela seemed to hear Mu Shitian's last words—

Fellow Daoist Hela, in this world, even if there were one or two more, or even a hundred or eighty more people who reached the other shore, what difference would it make? Therefore, the other shore has never been what we seek.

"Ji Jingqiu, you'll regret this."

Ji Jingqiu whispered, "Only today do I realize that the temple is a prison, trapping me in four corners of the sky, making it difficult for me to find peace."

Also at this moment.

Hela begins to actively approach Ji Jingqiu.

The central part of the Buddhist kingdom.

Around the Buddha, who was sitting cross-legged, there was an illusory image of a celestial maiden with a human head and a snake body. She was extremely beautiful and alluring, pure and undefiled, which was in line with the meaning of the Great Bliss.

She coiled behind the Buddha, one hand covering her own face, the other blindfolding the Buddha's eyes, and whispered in the Buddha's ear:
"May I ask the Buddha, when a great calamity is about to begin and demons seize power, what should we do?"

A fleeting ripple appeared in Ji Jingqiu's eyes, which was then completely smoothed out.

This was the same question that Ji Shuai had set up in the past, a question that had been posed to him by Hela, now being asked by her, as if the story was repeating itself.

"Subdue the demon!"

The heavens and earth trembled violently.

this moment.

An incomparably magnificent and vast will rose irresistibly from the Boundary Sea, like the sun and moon.

Within the Boundary Sea, all beings who had reached the eighth realm and could sense the trembling of the Great Dao were terrified and looked up in awe—

At the edge of the horizon, shrouded in a crimson mist, a figure with a human head and a snake's body, wearing an imperial crown, appeared and disappeared, covering his face with his hand.

She slowly lowered her hand from her face, revealing a pair of eyes that shimmered with rich golden light and possessed a pure, divine quality.

Majestic and aloof, ancient and solemn.

……

Doumu Yuanjun, who was waiting in the Netherworld, lost her composure for the first time, as if she had witnessed something intolerable.

Especially after those pure golden eyes, flowing coldly looking down from behind the crimson mist, his expression twisted slightly, and he said with barely suppressed rage:
"A despicable, utterly foolish bastard!"

"They actually voluntarily gave way to beings from the lower realms, paving the way for them with their own bodies?!"

"Ji Jingqiu, do you really think you can escape the confinement of the Investiture of the Gods like this?!"

Enraged, Doumu Yuanjun fully awakened the Investiture of the Gods for the first time, no longer confined to suppressing Ji Jingqiu, and even risking that person's awakening, she forcibly stripped Ji Jingqiu of his divine status!

……

In the inner universe.

The long-silent Zhan Yue sword light suddenly shone brightly. It had been observing all this time, like a contemplation of the Dao, and had found the answer in Ji Jingqiu, to the point that it no longer called him by his original name.

It laughed loudly, "World Honored One, if you want to do it, then I, Cangjian, will go crazy with you and lend you a hand!"

A ray of sword light shot out from the inner world, wandering like the vast sun. The supreme sword intent flowed through the world, reflecting a majestic sword path!
It seemed that the laws of the entire Boundary Sea were subdued by this magnificent sword path!
A single sword strike chills a thousand worlds. Even Doumu Yuanjun, at this moment, changes color, never expecting that there is still a variable in Ji Jingqiu's life!
The sword path reflected in this wisp of sword light is the Great Dao that its original self once used to open up the Transcendent Fruit. At this moment, the Great Dao reflects the World Sea, and even the desperate struggle between Transcendent beings is nothing more than this!
At this moment, it wields the myriad things of heaven and earth as its sword, and all the laws of the Great Dao must bow down and submit to it!

The Heavenly Court erected layers upon layers of divine protective arrays, repelling enemies from beyond the vast void.

Even if Doumu Yuanjun was not afraid of this sword, she would never want to fight head-on at this critical moment, which could result in damage to her own condition.

But this sword was not unleashed; instead, it hovered in the sea of ​​boundaries, concentrating all its power and the great Dao of Heaven and Earth into a single point, as if waiting for something.

until--

A man in a flowing blue robe, exuding a profound and ethereal aura, stepped into the empty void, cupped his hands, and bowed to the sword path formed by the sword light.

His Taoist name is Wufa (无法).

The sword flashed, returning the greeting, and then suddenly blazed brightly, falling into the hands of the Unbound Daoist.

The two understood each other silently, like two hearts in perfect harmony.

Using the sword technique in his hand, the Unsage Saint sensed Ji Jingqiu's special state at this moment, the unique Daoist charm that belonged to [Xing Wuji], yet seemed to have completely broken free from it, and smiled.

Ji Jingqiu did not abandon their Daoist methods; on the contrary, he forged a path to the heavens!

This proves they were on the right track!

The moment the sage raised his sword, that unbridled freedom, transcending the mundane world, swept across heaven and earth!
Throughout history and across all directions, nothing can contain the ultimate brilliance of this sword. The boundless Dao of all realms is no match for this single sword at this moment!
This sword strike is both "Peaceful Universe Slaying the Stubborn" and "Lawless," a true sword of transcendence!

The sword fell, but it did not kill a person; it severed karma.

After the sword strike, the swordplay that had been solidified in his hand, resembling a long sword, shattered and scattered with the wind.

"Go on, and sing your heart out!"

The Unsage, who had unleashed the last supernatural power left behind after his failure to attain enlightenment, had a breath as ethereal as a candle flame in the wind, yet he laughed heartily, as if he had truly attained great freedom and transcendence.

At this moment, in the temple opened by Ji Jingqiu using the Divine Treasure Technique.

The deity, who had remained seated from beginning to end, opened his eyes for the first time. The suppression from the Investiture of the Gods that had been binding and binding his body shattered at that moment.

The deity rose up, with a human head and a snake's body. He walked out of the temple, out of the Buddhist kingdom, and into a pure land, where he developed Bodhicitta (the aspiration for enlightenment).

Is it a case of the poisoned usurping the magpie's nest, or is it a case of the great way being interdependent?

Only Hela herself knows.

As the divine being who had attained the divine status left the temple and returned to Hela, Ji Jingqiu's cultivation also declined rapidly. He quickly fell from near transcendence to True Saint, Dao Ancestor, and finally barely managed to hold onto the initial stage of Dao Ancestor!

But Hela saw an incredibly strange change in Ji Jingqiu.

Why is it that even though she has already taken away Ji Jingqiu's path to the other shore, his spiritual cultivation has not regressed at all, but has instead improved, as if he has entered another realm.

Hela suddenly looked up and was the first to notice the anomaly in the True Spirit Heavenly Rank, blurting out:

"Ji Jingqiu...you're dragging the True Spirit Heavenly Staircase, making it tangible, no longer unattainable and elusive?!"

Doumu attempted to use all living beings and spirits as the foundation for ascending to the Heavenly Realm of True Spirits.

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu is laying the foundation for all living beings to see the True Spirit Heavenly Rank, allowing the first primordial Dao in the world—the True Spirit Immortal Dao—to truly fall into this realm sea!

Hela suddenly broke into a bright smile:

"Ji Jingqiu, congratulations, you have found your 'other shore'."

That was Ji Jingqiu's other shore, but not the other shore for all living beings. It was also the realm that Mu Shitian had been searching for but could not reach in his entire life.

It may not necessarily transcend the other side; it may simply be two choices at a crossroads.

He jokingly remarked back then that this place should perhaps be named...

【sea of ​​bitterness】.

……

……

Doumu Yuanjun's face was dark with anger.

In this world, is there really someone who can break the shackles of the Investiture of the Gods?!

Yes, Ji Jingqiu had already met that person. The name he left in the Investiture of the Gods was most likely not his real name!
The control of the Investiture of the Gods over it was flawed from the very beginning!

But before she could respond—

A vast, boundless celestial staircase, stretching from top to bottom and traversing the infinite realms of heaven and earth, was thus presented to the world.

At this moment, everyone felt a resonance and awe from the light of their own nature!

"True Spirit Heavenly Rank?!" Doumu exclaimed in disbelief for the first time.

She stared intently at the Heavenly Staircase, unable to comprehend how Ji Jingqiu had managed to summon this True Spirit Heavenly Staircase here!
How could he possibly have such ability and skill?!

Doumu instantly rushed out of the Netherworld and headed towards the Buddhist Kingdom, wanting to verify the truth of this Heavenly Rank with her own eyes!

Could it be that Ji Jingqiu has found a way to ascend directly to the heavens all these years?

But without waiting for her to arrive.

Throughout the entire Boundary Sea, across all the heavens and worlds, all sentient beings witnessed this breathtaking scene—

A "god" fell from the sky, and a line fell to the ground.

A "person" rises from the ground, opening a sliver of sky.

It's like two dazzling golden threads connecting heaven and earth.

And that graceful figure rising from the ground,

Human head and snake body.

The beginning of the character "道".

……

Having attained enlightenment, Hela, carrying Ji Jingqiu in her arms, soared upwards, heading straight for the Great Road.

Along the way, Hela gently lifted Ji Jingqiu's face and whispered:
"Ji Jingqiu, you will never reach the other shore."

The deity who fell from the sky and single-handedly dragged back the True Spirit Heavenly Rank laughed:

"you are wrong."

"I am the other shore."

This day.

Hela, the last of the Four Demons and the Goddess of Dreams, has achieved the state of True Reality and become the first person to transcend in this era.

From that point on, the situation in the war was completely reversed.
