Immortal Dao is dead, I am the mastermind behind it all.

The scene before them began to blur and vibrate, as if the resonance between the Azure Pearl and the Azure Inkstone had reached its limit.

This space, constructed from the essence of emptiness and Daoist principles, is about to collapse.

In the final moment, Shen Moyan saw the high-hanging black sun seem to ripple slightly.

The ever-burning lamp on the ground went out, and the entire space shattered with a deafening roar.

Shen Moyan's consciousness was abruptly jolted back to reality.

The scene before me, like a reflection in water stirred by an invisible giant hand, began to distort, blur, and flow backward...

The shattered fragments of mountains and rivers reassembled, the cascading snowstorm swept back into the sky, the extinguished four-colored halos lit up again and then dimmed, and the preaching stele that suppressed the mountains and seas returned to the heavens, its light rapidly receding and becoming illusory...

Finally, even the all-encompassing, pitch-black sun gradually faded away...

Time is flowing backward.

This grand epic is being forcibly taken back right before our eyes.

Shen Moyan returned to his demonic incarnation, as if the decades he had just spent traveling to the ancient mountains and seas had passed in the blink of an eye.

When all the light and shadow faded, Shen Moyan found himself not standing in the snow-covered ruins, but in an absolute void.

Above and below, in all directions, past and present, all cease to exist; only eternal silence remains.

In the center of this void, there lies a desolate coffin, exuding a faint aura of sorrow.

The coffin was neither wood nor stone, and its material was difficult to determine.

And sitting on the coffin lid is a being.

His figure defies description by any conventional notion; his form is like a constellation of stars, seemingly the source and destination of all beings.

The moment Shen Moyan's spiritual sense touched Him, he naturally understood His title.

Starry Sky and Enlightened Destiny!

The being who spoke with Qingming Siming in that space just now was none other than Him!

At this moment, this supreme being who controls mountains and seas is looking down, casually playing with something.

That thing was the Azure Pearl that Shen Moyan had just dug out from the Five-Colored Heaven Realm!

The Azure Inkstone exists inside the Azure Pearl, but it has not yet been discovered by Him.

The finger of the God of Fate, if it can be called a finger, gently brushed across the surface of the Azure Pearl, reading the information and cause and effect it carried.

Shen Moyan's demonic avatar trembled violently, but found itself unable to move or speak, like an insect trapped in amber, only able to watch.

Xinghan Qiming Siming seemed to notice his gaze and slowly raised his head.

From beneath the mask came a profound message:

Thank you.

The three words were directly imprinted deep within Shen Moyan's consciousness.

Decisively, Shen Moyan returned his consciousness to his original self within the Azure Inkstone.

"My level of mastery..."

Shen Moyan touched the body of the original owner and was horrified.

[Current Realm: Mid-stage Purple Mansion Realm (Xian Dao)]

Current lifespan: 3000 years

Just three words were enough to cause his magical power to surge and his lifespan to increase.

This is not the biggest gain. Shen Moyan's sea of ​​consciousness has expanded more than thirty times compared to before, and he can calculate much more things now.

Now that he's controlling the Xuanming Azure Flame to purify Yi Shukuang's demonic energy, it probably won't take a thousand years, just a few decades.

The new Azure Pearl was not fully integrated with the Azure Inkstone, but Shen Moyan was already able to perceive the outside world through the Azure Pearl.

After gathering these clues, Shen Moyan muttered to himself.

"I see... I understand now!"

The birth of Xinghan Qiming Siming was by no means a coincidence!

The five Fate Masters may represent the five most fundamental Great Daos of the Mountain and Sea Realm, corresponding to the Five Colored Heavens.

They foresaw the threat posed by the future emperor, but were powerless to confront him directly.

So, before the final battle, perhaps Qingming came up with an idea.

But it was precisely because of this idea that His companions perished unexpectedly.

That's why they had a backup plan.

The Azure Netherworld Fate Master combined a portion of the original authority of the five Fate Masters, along with the original intention of opposing the Emperor and protecting all living beings in the mountains and seas, and merged it with the will of Heaven to give birth to a completely new "existence" that transcends the old system.

That being will be born at some point in the future; it is inevitable.

That being is the Star River Enlightenment Master!

It was a desperate gamble by the Mountain and Sea Heavenly Dao itself!

Because it was just born, it's still a baby.

In the Five-Colored Celestial Realm, this coffin is a beginner's gift package for the Star River Enlightenment Master.

By seizing the authority of the five Fate Masters, the Star River Enlightenment Fate Masters were able to quickly overcome their novice period and grow to a level capable of contending with the Holy Court.

"But if He were to personally seek out a backup plan, He would surely be discovered by the four Celestial Lords of the Holy Court..."

"He knew I had a secret, but didn't know what it was, so He tacitly allowed and guided me to explore the Five-Colored Heavenly Realm, all in order to use me as a variable to find the various backup plans of the ancient Fate Master..."

As the Si Ming who was born three million years later, every move of the Xinghan Qiming Si Ming is watched by those powerful eyes.

"But what a pity... what a pity!"

A hint of mockery flashed in Shen Moyan's eyes.

The plan is good, but what is the Holy See just for show?

"The four Celestial Lords—Sansheng, Wanbao, Jiuge, and Liangyi…—the four rulers under the Emperor, had long ago discovered Qiming Siming, this hidden trump card of Heaven!"

The announcement from 9ge.com serves as evidence.

"Therefore, He could only use the battle with the Six Hell Demon Lords to go to the demon territory, and then use the Four Seas, which is the demon territory, to detour to the Five Colored Heaven Realm and obtain a backup plan."

Shen Moyan recalled the information he had obtained from Linglong Zhenren.

"The Azure Pearl left by the Azure Deity in Feiguang Prefecture was unknown and unobtainable to the Demon Lord due to his influence, so he could only hope to obtain it from the Five-Colored Heavenly Realm."

"He doesn't know that the real Azure Pearl has long been in my hands!"

Shen Moyan laughed loudly in the space of Qingmingyan.

As I wrote, it refined the Azure Pearl of this life, transforming it into Shen Moyan's own Azure Inkstone.

Xinghan Qiming Siming thought that the Azure Pearl that Shen Moyan obtained from Yi Shukuang was a catalyst, a catalyst to the Five Colored Heavenly Realm.

He glanced at the Azure Inkstone where he was now, and through it, he connected with the Azure Pearl originating from the Five-Colored Heavenly Realm, and saw the Starry Sky Enlightenment Master, who was perched high on the coffin, playing chess.

He seemed to find it strange that Shen Moyan's demonic avatar outside had suddenly lost consciousness and ceased to exist.

"The player himself takes to the field; fate is on a desperate gamble..."

"You still want to use me as a pawn? Hmph..."

This "variable" that He himself was unaware of was one of the pawns chosen by Xinghan Qiming Siming to restore the mountains and seas.

A pawn used to fight against the Holy Court.

If he continues down this path, Shen Moyan's entire life will become a puppet of the Star River Enlightenment Master.

Test Him, and face the high command of the Holy Court on His behalf.

Furthermore, if this continues, one's thoughts will be subtly influenced by the God of Fate, and one will truly become His puppet.

Shen Moyan's figure slowly merged into the shadows of the Azure Nether Space, with only his whispers echoing in the silence, carrying a resolute tone:

"What does it matter if one is a god of destiny? What does it matter if one is supreme in the mountains and seas?"

"I, Shen Moyan, have reincarnated five times, struggled for a hundred years, and secretly acquired countless trump cards!"

"He can defeat even the most powerful geniuses of his own realm, and he can scheme against the Demon Lord of the Dao!"

Shen Moyan's eyes were more determined than ever before.

"Even the six realms of desire cannot deceive my heart! My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven! Even if you are the god of destiny born from all living beings!"

"Hold me as your pen, and write as I write..."

"Final words—!!!"

……

In the Five-Colored Heavenly Realm, Xinghan Qiming Siming watched in shock as the Azure Nether Pearl in his hand dissipated into tiny golden runes.

【this……】

He looked around warily, but was instantly enveloped by a void of darkness.

In the darkness, He seemed to see something incomprehensible, and then completely succumbed to nothingness.

[At the end of this life, holding the edge, my final words.]
