Grandpa, times have changed.

Leaving aside all the reasons mentioned above.

Seeking the opportunity to reach the ultimate Dao is of utmost importance.

It should be known that there are many Dongzhen in the Taixuan Realm, but only a small fraction of them have truly comprehended the 'Ultimate Dao' and have even a slight chance of knocking on the gate to immortality.

Aside from that disciple of the Daoist, the last person to comprehend the 'Ultimate Dao' was more than 2,700 years ago...

As his thoughts shifted, his bewildered gaze returned from the distance to the Taiyi Realm.

Meanwhile, the Holy Lord of Dongming was still searching for Yuan, Ning Wanzhu, and Mingyu throughout the Taiyi Realm.

But found nothing.

Dongzhen was already a level higher, and now Yuan was focused on hiding, plus the Taiyi Realm had already refined a portion of Yuan's original body.

Within this realm, the Dao of the Abyss exists in all ten directions. For a mere enlightened sage who has attained the level of profound understanding to find him is like an ordinary person trying to find a single drop of water in a vast ocean.

The difficulty is self-evident.

The same applies to Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu.

A wisp of Dongzhen magic power, through Yuan, who comprehended the Great Void and grasped the Dao of Space, was unleashed. Its concealment effect had already exceeded the limit that the Heavenly Will of the Taiyi Realm could lock.

According to the 'script' modified by Huo.

He only needs to observe the situation and doesn't need to take any further action.

After all, the remaining True Essence of those two juniors could only allow them to remain hidden for at most two months.

Adding the one strand already used, that leaves only three months.

This amount of time is simply not enough for Yuan to gather enough 'false bodies' to establish a connection with his original body, which is sealed by the Taiyi Realm.

In other words, Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu will definitely be discovered by the Holy Lord of Insight.

At that time, Yuan would naturally not stand idly by.

With only a sliver of consciousness remaining, he could never possibly defeat the enlightened sage who possessed the 'favor of heaven'.

No matter how much Yuan struggled, in the end he could only helplessly watch the person he cherished most die before his eyes.

This is the 'script' that Huo designed for him.

From the initial joy of meeting again, let him spend three months reliving the preciousness of having someone he cherishes by his side.

Finally, an unexpected event occurred, and I watched helplessly as everything I cared about turned to ashes.

Until then……

Only when he feels powerless and desperate will he truly reflect on everything he has done.

As the saying goes, no matter how you teach someone, they can't learn.

But things teach us...

You'll get it in one go!
He understood this principle perfectly well!

Having made up his mind, Huo no longer hesitated, looking down at the entire Taiyi Realm, and slowly raised his right hand.

The fingertips gently tapped in front of him.

Gudong~
The sound was long and ethereal, like the sound of a drop of water falling into the water, with ripples spreading out from the fingertip.

It accelerated continuously, and within seconds, its radiation swept across the entire Taiyi Realm.

In the darkness, a change seemed to be taking place, unknown to anyone, yet no one observed it.

The Holy Kings, even the Holy Lords, in the Taiyi Realm, and even the slightest conscious thought of Yuan, were unaware of the subtle changes taking place in the Taiyi Realm.

Only the enlightened sage can understand this.

Although he didn't sense any subtle changes in the Taiyi Realm, he seemed to have noticed something under the influence of this 'ripple'...

Having finished all this, Huo lowered his hand and looked at the Insightful Saint Lord who had already taken action within the Taiyi Continent, feeling somewhat helpless.

Unexpectedly, in the end, they even had to give the villain in the 'script' a power-up.

“Yuan, this is not my fault.”

Everything is a case of plans not keeping up with changes.

Immediately, Huo turned around to look.

In order to survive, the 'Heaven's Will' of the Taiyi Realm was still trying his best to make Yinling happy.

Yinling was indeed reassured a lot because of Taiyi Realm's words about 'divine will'.

However, because Huo had blocked her perception of the Taiyi Realm, she hadn't seen Yuan during this time, so she couldn't help but worry again.

The will of Heaven in the Taiyi Realm is now desperate.

He truly did not want to be erased by this supreme being!
Just as the Taiyi Realm's "Heaven's Will" was racking its brains, trying to come up with a way to make this young lady happy...

A large hand quietly reached out, its five fingers spread as if to capture the entire universe, and grabbed Him in one swift motion.

"A great and supreme being! I must...!"

Before the panicked voice could finish speaking, the entire light silver sphere was already grabbed by the large hand.

Yinling, who was on the other side, was stunned and didn't understand what was going on for a moment.

Before I could react, a soft voice reached my ears:

"It will be over soon..."

It'll be over soon?

What? It'll be over soon?
Just as Yinling was becoming increasingly puzzled.

Right in front of her, Huo held in his hand the light silver sphere that represented the 'will of heaven' of the Taiyi Realm.

"Your mission is over."

"Great and supreme being! Please calm your anger, I will...!"

But just like before, before Taiyi Realm's 'divine will' could finish speaking, it was casually tossed away by Huo.

They fell directly out of that space that had been blocked and isolated.

Having departed from that space, it no longer maintained that light silver spherical shape. Almost instantly upon separation, it disintegrated, transforming into wisps of formless and intangible will, which then merged back into every corner of the Taiyi Realm as 'Heavenly Will'.

Ok?
The sudden change left the 'divine will' of the Taiyi Realm quite puzzled.

He originally thought that the great being was dissatisfied with his performance and was preparing to erase him directly.

But now it seems...

It seems that's not the case!
After a moment's thought, 'Heaven's Will' used its authority in the Taiyi Realm to observe the Insightful Saint Lord rushing in one direction.

Clearly, the creature it favored had already located the two outsiders.

But weren't those two outsiders and the foreign true god who was sealed by the Taiyi Realm all in cahoots with that great being?
What was the purpose of that great being doing this?
The Taiyi Realm's 'Heavenly Will', lost in thought, was completely unaware of its current situation.

As the embodiment of destiny, I found myself experiencing many emotions that I shouldn't have, just like any other living being.

……

……

At the highest point of the Taiyi Realm, within a separated space.

Huo observed the behavior of the 'Heavenly Will' in the Taiyi Realm, but had no intention of intervening again.

The will of Heaven is a special existence that can only be born in a great world above the level of Dao Integration.

It guides the world toward a better future and possesses boundless power.

However, this special existence is also subject to the rules of the world itself, namely the 'Way of Heaven'.

Under normal circumstances, 'divine will' cannot escape this limitation, since its existence is due to 'the Way of Heaven'.

However, there are also some extreme situations, such as major changes in the world or loopholes in its own rules.

In this situation, 'divine will' might have a slight chance of breaking free from the constraints of the Heavenly Way due to loopholes in the rules.

Back then, the Taiyi Realm secretly obtained a trace of the power of the Void and betrayed the Abyss.

As a true god of the 'Return to the Void' lineage, Ke Xu possesses extraordinary characteristics, and her divine power is not so easily obtained.

The rules of the world were flawed from that very moment.

In other words, the Taiyi Realm itself is very special.

If the ancient represents the beginning of everything, then the mysterious represents the origin of the extraordinary.

And 'too'!
It symbolizes the eternal existence of rules and order, and the boundless Dao realm. Although it has completely perished, its body has transformed into the boundless starry sky of the Tai Xuan Realm, so its Dao essence still radiates into the Chaos Sea.

There simply won't be any further changes.

The Taiyi Realm uses the light of the world to cover countless worlds, transforming 'chaos' into order, which is in line with the 'Tai' Dao.

The Dao is boundless, a symbol of eternal order and rules. How could it allow 'divine will' to break free from the rules?

but……

“If this situation continues, one day He will eventually have the idea of ​​breaking away from the ‘Way of Heaven’.”

After all, 'too' is gone.

Having acquired a sense of self, Heaven's will is unwilling to be restricted by the laws of Heaven.

Then, Huo looked out of the boundary.

More accurately, it was looking at the martial arts immortal light that was already close to the edge of the Taiyi Realm.

The reason for returning Taiyi to its original state is...

It was because he guessed that the disciple of the Demon Ancestor was likely targeting the Heavenly Will of the Taiyi Realm as well.

He was, after all, one of the Thirteen True Immortals of Tai Xuan.

Naturally, we hope to see more insightful and profound insights emerge from the Dao.

only……

"I hope it's not too late," Huo sighed softly.

He has skipped the 'script' process and jumped straight to the ending.

Surely it can't be too late even with all that, right?

……

……

Taiyi Realm.

Taiyi Continent, within the Holy City of Erfeng.

Yuan entered a teahouse and went straight to the deepest part of the teahouse, a hidden room sealed off by multiple restrictive rituals.

The door was inscribed with intricate cryptic text, shimmering with a chilling, eerie light.

The teahouse was bustling with people, including many extraordinary individuals who had reached the highest level of the 'Saint Rank', but not a single one of them noticed anything unusual about the door.

It's easy to imagine how special it is.

Yuan, however, didn't care at all and simply pushed open the door and went inside.

The interior space was very spacious, a vast expanse of white, with no visible boundaries.

It's even hard to distinguish up, down, left, and right.

A somewhat old square table was not far ahead, and sitting beside it was an old man with white beard and hair, wearing a gray robe and with a slightly hunched figure.

His gaze had already turned towards Yuan when Yuan pushed the door open and came in.

He adjusted his glasses and poured tea into another cup.
"Hello, traveler from another world."

Yuan was not surprised that he recognized him as not being a native creature, and instead walked over and sat down opposite him.

"Hello, Saint Erfeng." He picked up his teacup. "I apologize for disturbing you."

Saint Efeng sighed at Yuan's polite words:
"What if I don't forgive them?"

"understand."

"..."

You understand, but you won't leave, right?
Saint Efeng felt somewhat helpless.

As a member of the Order-side transcendent faction, he had the privilege of visiting the knowledge treasury of the Void Holy City once during the era when the Void Holy Lord ruled over all the heavens.

Therefore, he was also aware of some things about outsiders.

In most cases, these outsiders from 'other worlds' mean 'trouble'.

He was merely a transcendent being at the 'Saint' level, and it was already quite remarkable that he could protect the peace of one region in such a chaotic world.

Therefore, he didn't have that much energy, nor did he want to get into any more trouble.

"Could you please leave the Holy City of Erfeng?" Saint Erfeng asked bluntly. "I'll pretend I didn't see those little guys who came into contact with the extraordinary."

He was not the Holy Lord of the Void, and did not have such great capacity; he simply could not bear the trouble caused by this outsider.

"I'm sorry to have caused you trouble." Yuan put down his teacup. "But it won't do."

After thinking for a moment, he added:

"But to be honest, you are the most normal high-level transcendent I have ever seen in the Taiyi Realm."

To be honest, dealing with the lawful-side transcendents of the Taiyi Realm is really easy.

Saint Efeng: "..."

Forget it.

Consider it a compliment to myself.

"Thank you. Many people say that I got to this point entirely by luck, and I wholeheartedly agree."

"Hehe." Yuan shook his head slightly. "I don't think so."

A saint has reached the 'Stage of Sainthood' and is comparable to a being who has attained the Dao.

The birth of each Dao-merging being cannot be simply summarized by 'luck'.

Suddenly, Yuan changed the subject:
"You must have seen that beam of light that suddenly entered the Taiyi Realm that day, right?"

Saint Efeng paused for a moment:
"No! I didn't see it! I don't know what you're talking about!"

His denials had no effect whatsoever.

“A long time… no, according to our life scale, it should be not long ago.” Yuan ignored his words and continued talking to himself.

“The Taiyi Realm once encountered a Dongzhen from another world, who is the ‘True God’ in your system.”

"That true god has set his sights on the Taiyi Realm and wants to possess it for himself..."

Yuan slowly recounted the events that had occurred back then.

At first, Saint Efeng showed great resistance.

He worried that knowing something he shouldn't know would bring trouble to himself and everything he was protecting.

But after listening to some of it, I still couldn't suppress my rising curiosity.

He's like an ordinary good person, kind-hearted but not in a boundless way, prone to worry about things beyond his control, and curious about the unknown.

In a sense, in this Taiyi Realm filled with paranoia and neurosis, isn't he, who has reached the 'Stage of Saints' and achieved the position of Saint, yet still retains the mindset of an ordinary person, also a kind of 'extreme'?

Yuan's voice sounded extremely calm amidst this vast and empty soundscape.

Although one of them possessed the power of profound understanding and the other was a saint comparable to the Dao, they were conversing in the manner of ordinary people.

"Just as you guessed." Yuan picked up his teacup again; the tea inside was no longer as scalding hot as before.

“I am Dongzhen, who has been betrayed by your world and by the foreign gods.”

Saint Efeng was somewhat bewildered.

Although he was a saint, this was the first time he had come into contact with such a great secret.

"So, what are you doing now...?"

Upon realizing that the being before him was a 'true god' beyond his comprehension, he couldn't help but address him with respect.

"Having been betrayed, and now that I'm free, of course I want to reclaim everything that's mine. Your world wants to refine me into its foundation, but little do you know that in the process, I'm also replacing your world?"

"..."

It's understandable to want revenge on the one who betrayed you after experiencing betrayal.

but……

"Of course, the world itself is at fault, I won't get involved..."

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up towards the space beyond! (End of Chapter)
