I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

Shen Ming returned to the Star Path, and compared to the beginning, this path became more stable and normal, with no longer any signs of fragmentation.

At the same time, Bai Yujing's world core entered Shen Ming's body as a flawless sphere.

At this moment, all three thousand divine paths he had comprehended in the Heavenly God Realm were sublimated and laid out before him.

Each divine path corresponds to a world path.

It evolved and improved automatically without Shen Ming having to actively comprehend it.

Finally, the perfect Three Thousand Great Daos erupted in his mind.

"I am the world!"

Shen Ming is no longer the emperor of Baiyujing, but the god of heaven.

He is not a God appointed by the divine court, but a God who controls the world.

Shen Ming's cultivation level went directly from the early stage of the Dao God Realm to the Great Perfection.

Upon breaking through to the realm of immortality, all thirteen apertures of the innate sacred body and Dao embryo appeared behind him.

Eternity, Thunder, and Limitlessness—all in one fell swoop—reaching the ninth level of the Immortal Heart!

The Four Symbols are still stuck at the ninth level of the Dao Heart.

Creation, Chaos, Yin, and Yang all broke through to the Immortal Heart.

The last two remaining apertures of the Dao Heart also radiated light and underwent changes.

Shen Ming can choose any two of the three thousand Great Daos.

Without hesitation or agonizing, Shen Ming took out the Book of Time and the Void Scripture.

Only these two great paths can be on par with other Dao hearts.

However, among the three thousand great paths of the world, there is still no Great Path of Time!

Shen Ming had no choice but to first cultivate the Void Scripture, responding to the call of the Great Dao.

Before long, the twelfth aperture, the spatial Dao Heart, was successfully condensed.

Thinking it best to press on, Shen Ming opened the Book of Time again.

This time, the Eternal Immortal Heart reached the ninth level, and the Eternal Thought became much stronger.

"Time has no direction; it has no past, no present, and no future."

Shen Ming finally deciphered the profound meaning from the Book of Time.

The thirteenth aperture of time has the initial form of the Dao heart.

This made Shen Ming's heart burn with desire, and he wanted to go down.

Fortunately, at the last moment, he asked the World Tree about the time.

rustle!

The World Tree has been keeping time for him.

Five months?

Shen Ming was taken aback; it had taken him five months to finish just that one sentence.

It's important to understand that these five months were spent under the condition of constantly activating the Eternal Thought.

If we really want to calculate it, fifty years wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"Fifty years is just the beginning. This is unusual, and it's not just a difficult problem."

Shen Ming took a deep breath and gazed once more at the three thousand great paths of the world.

Why is there no Great Way of Time?

That's the key point. Of course, he was just asking casually and didn't expect a specific answer.

As a result, the World Tree told him some shocking news.

The Great Dao of Time became sentient, transforming into a celestial spirit, and was worshipped in the celestial palace.

This is not an isolated case; for example, Shen Ming encountered an Eternal Immortal Spirit.

This conceptual spiritual life also exists.

Compared to the Eternal Immortal, the Time Immortal is far more powerful and dares to remain in the Upper Realm.

Shen Ming recalled that on the moon, Jun Tian of the Immortal Palace used an hourglass that could reverse time.

"No wonder the Immortal Palace wanted to rebel against the Divine Palace, and was not punished afterward. So that's how it is."

Therefore, even if Shen Ming obtains the Book of Time, it will be difficult for him to condense his Dao Heart.

Because it cannot resonate with the Great Way of Time.

As a result, instead of reaching the realm of immortality in one fell swoop, he is now stuck.

The good news is that Shen Ming has begun the second stage of the Sacred Body Embryo.

With all thirteen apertures of the Dao Heart opened, one can slay a Dao Lord!

The nascent Dao Heart of Time is like an hourglass; once opened, it will rapidly slip away.

"Conquer the Immortal Palace and expose the Time Immortal."

As it happens, Shen Ming has a grudge against the Immortal Palace.

He alone is definitely not enough, but Yao Ting has pledged his loyalty, and it's time for him to show it!

The Demon Emperor is stronger than the Great Luo Dao Lord, making him a top-tier combatant in the realm of longevity.

"what?"

Suddenly, Shen Ming discovered something.

The star path of Baiyujing is already connected to other celestial realms, but no star gate leading to it has appeared.

Shen Ming thought he was about to do something, but the World Tree told him that all he needed to do was confirm it to open the star gate.

"sensible."

Shen Ming gave a thumbs-up, but then realized his words were inappropriate.

It's the World Tree, after all; it shouldn't be judged so lightly.

Surprisingly, the World Tree was quite happy.

"Old tree, how do I restore the Nine Realms to their original state?" Shen Ming asked.

The next second, he saw the South Heavenly Gate, the Lingxiao Palace, and the entire Divine Court.

Shen Ming had only heard of it, but he could recognize it at a glance; there was no other thing like it in the Nine Realms.

Why does this feel so familiar?

Shen Ming frowned, as if he had seen this in a dream.

But he didn't take it seriously.

Once the image of the Divine Court disappeared, Shen Ming understood the meaning of the World Tree.

The Divine Court is the key, and also the biggest obstacle.

Having understood this, Shen Ming returned to Baiyujing from the World Tree.

When he appeared above the Longevity Tower, he was somewhat dazed, thinking he had come to the wrong place.

He looked around, and after a long while, he exclaimed, "This is what the Upper Realm should look like!"

Originally, Baiyujing was shattered, with cracks everywhere in the sky.

But it was still the upper realm, completely different from the lower realm where Shen Ming had lived.

But now, Baiyujing has been restored to its original state.

Being in a truly complete upper realm, Shen Ming was filled with emotion.

He understood what it meant to be worlds apart, like heaven and earth.

Suddenly, countless figures appeared from all directions.

There are the four demon emperors of the Demon Court, and the nine human sects of the Tower of Heaven.

They arrived as quickly as possible and stopped with the utmost respect.

"Welcome to the Emperor of Heaven!"

"Welcome, God!"

The four demon emperors and the twelve golden immortals of the Tongtian Tower spoke in unison.

For Shen Ming, it took less than fifteen minutes.

Five months have passed in Baiyujing.

Both the Demon Court and the Tower of Heaven were filled with trepidation and excitement.

What's exciting is that the complete Jade Palace is large enough to accommodate all humans and demons.

They don't need to compete for resources; instead, they need to work together to explore new worlds to keep busy.

The premise of cooperation between the two parties is that they both respect Shen Ming and live under the same heavenly court.

Shen Ming did not follow any heavenly rules or regulations, so minor frictions still occurred, but none of them were serious.

As for why Shen Ming only returned after five months, they didn't care too much.

Of course, it takes time to accomplish such an unprecedented and unparalleled feat.

Let alone five months, even five years would be normal.

On the contrary, Bone Lord couldn't wait any longer and ran out of the Coffin of the God of Burial.

Forbidden creatures!

The Great Luo Dao Master of Tongtian Tower immediately recalled what their ancestor had said: this was the legendary White Bone Emperor.

"My lord, I thought you had gone back to the moon by yourself."

Bone Master knew Shen Ming's personality to some extent.

Having obtained the complete core of the world, and restored Baiyujing to its original state, he wouldn't care about the Demon Court or the Tongtian Tower; it's quite possible he would simply leave.

The problem is, don't leave him behind.

Thank goodness, the adults are back.
