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

"Shuisheng! My name is Shuisheng!"

"My mother was afraid I would be difficult to raise, so she gave me this name."

"I am Tiezhu."

"My father was a cowherd, and he hoped I would be as honest and sturdy as a cow."

"My name is..."

"What strange names these are."

The centurion, holding a porcelain bowl, wrote the names of his soldiers one by one on the city wall.

The blue-eyed statue in the temple silently watched the flickering light until dawn broke in the distance.

Four million years ago, there was a capital city on earth.

"Those immortals were like stars descending to earth, saving humanity from suffering..."

At the three-zhang-tall white jade stele, a storyteller was recounting "The Twenty Immortals Who Subdued Demons," surrounded by hundreds of children.

"Twenty Immortals Who Slay Demons? Screw your immortals!"

A vulgar shout interrupted the storyteller's righteous tale.

Everyone turned around and saw the thin young soldier pointing at the white jade monument not far away, his voice hoarse and strained:

"What 'Twenty Immortals Who Slay Demons'...?"

"They clearly have two million people!"

"They all have names!"

"They knew they didn't possess the supernatural powers of immortals..."

"But they fought with all their might against the demons!"

"Even if it costs me my life!"

……

Shouldn't everyone have a name that symbolizes themselves?

Most mortals are not immortals capable of moving mountains and filling seas.

They also do not condense the essence of the sun and moon like the demon race.

With mortal flesh and blood, what path should we take in this world of mountains and seas?

Two million, twenty million, two hundred billion, two trillion...

The sheer number of ordinary people is like wild grass covering the mountains and fields.

Time flies like a raging fire, burning away even the nameless grass.

The ashes are buried in the soil, and next year the fields will be covered with flowers.

"I'll remember you."

A man wearing a bluish-green mask stood out from nowhere.

Looking down at the desolate land, his eyes were lowered.

"As long as I live, you will not be dust in the passage of time."

The little girl in his arms gradually woke up, looking at him with big, innocent eyes.

"What's your name?"

The man in the blue mask asked in a calm tone.

"Whoa whoa……"

The little girl gestured her name haphazardly.

Ultimately, it points to the heavens.

The man looked up at what the world called the Nine Heavens and remained silent for a long time.

"Mortals are all fools, hoping that if they do good deeds all their lives, their souls will ascend to the heavens after death and become stars."

"I will impart all that I have learned in my life to you, and I will protect your people until you attain enlightenment."

The man in the blue-green mask looked at the girl dressed in purple and slowly spoke:

"Surrounded by stars, auspicious purple clouds arrive from the east."

"From now on, your name will be..."

"Ziwei".

The little girl nodded as if she understood.

Her eyes widened, and all the stars in the sky seemed to enter her pupils.

"Remember, this is the first lesson I taught you."

"Above the Nine Heavens".

"It wasn't a star that descended to earth and became a person."

"Instead, all living beings became stars."

…………

Within the sea of ​​consciousness.

Luo Changting opened his eyes, looked at the strange man in front of him, and gave his reply:

"My name is Luo Changting."

In the dark depths of the sea, countless strangers appeared beside him.

What they look like.

Ordinary and mundane.

"My child, you must grow up safely."

"Father! I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

"May the lovers finally be united in marriage! Congratulations!"

"The rise and fall of our nation is the responsibility of every citizen!"

"Never underestimate the will of mortals, you demons!"

"These weeds covering the mountains and fields are the hardest for me to kill."

"The Jiang family descendants are willing to defend our mountains and seas with their blood and flesh!"

"All I want is a place, a place where Dad can live out his days in peace, a place where we... no longer have to live in fear, wandering aimlessly, a place where we can look up at the sky, even if there are no stars in the sky!"

"I am willing to give everything to bring back the peaceful days that once existed in the mountains and seas."

Reverse - The Great Array for Transforming All Beings into Gods.

Luo Changting sank into the sea, merging with the vast sea of ​​people.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, a faint glimmer of light bloomed amidst the darkness of the heavens above.

That was the first star.

Then came the second, the third... thousands, tens of thousands, millions, hundreds of millions, trillions!

Infinite and boundless, the stars shine brightly, cleansing the darkness of the night.

As the saying goes, everything has its own inherent principles.

At this very moment, the principles of the Dao of countless people converge here.

The Great Way is boundless, and all living beings rely on it for survival.

[The Nine Songs are long and drawn out; all spirits persevere in their efforts.]

Small streams converge to form a sea.

Even mountains can be overturned.

This is...

Mountains and seas.

If one is in charge of the lives of all living beings.

That is, the God of Destiny of Mountains and Seas.

…………

"Damn it... the Nascent Soul Dao Fruit has gone out of control..."

The gaps in the Six Hells Demon Lord's heart grew increasingly dense.

"You think you can defy me like this? Wishful thinking!"

Heavenly Prison: Burying All Living Beings!

The Six Hell Demon Lord unleashed his great power once more, his purplish-black demonic flames burning the Azure Nether Mask until it turned to ashes.

"Qingming, you're nothing but a dead man now, so stop causing trouble."

"Mortals, ants are ants after all, and they overestimate their abilities."

"In my previous life, I was the Demon Lord; my profound and subtle charm is beyond your comprehension..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Six Hells Demon Lord's expression suddenly froze.

Because the cracks in my heart haven't healed at all, they're actually breaking down even faster.

Then the crack burst forth with dazzling light, which was peeled away from his body and projected outwards.

In Langya Prefecture, countless stars suddenly lit up in the endless darkness of the sky.

The Milky Way was ablaze with stars, and the stars, following their trajectories, somehow coalesced into a hazy human figure.

The figure slowly reached out, and specks of light surged from all directions, like a vast galaxy.

Azure and purple-gold intertwine, transforming into an ancient mask.

He slowly placed the mask onto his face.

Divine light flowed in those compassionate eyes.

…………

In Langya Prefecture, Luo Hanchan, lying in the ruins, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and opened her eyes.

She looked up at the dazzling river of light in the sky and saw that magnificent figure.

"elder brother?"

Luo Hanchan asked tremblingly.

Suddenly, a profound sense of life welled up in her heart, and the wounds on her body caused by the demonic wind instantly healed.

…………

"This wondrous aura... are you Qingming? Ziwei? No..."

Gazing at the figure in the sky, the Six Hells Demon Lord's deep pupils suddenly contracted, as if facing a formidable enemy.

He hurriedly grasped the [Heavenly Candle Sword] in his hand, gathered demonic energy, and opened his Heavenly Demon Eyes.

"This wondrous charm... how is this possible? Who are you?!"

The Six Hells Demon Lord was startled, for the Heavenly Demon Eye could not discern any trace of his origins.

Because of the face beneath that mask.

It can be anyone.

The starlight and the figure remained silent as His gaze swept over the ravaged Langya Prefecture.

As the gaze descends, the ocean recedes, and the mountains and rivers reappear.

The earth sprouts grass and trees, and all things revive.

The monks who were fighting the flood were all astonished by this miracle.

"Damn it! It's a human venerable one!"

Before they could react, the cannibalistic demons turned into dust and scattered.

Even the mortals who were struggling could feel that their serious injuries and diseases were rapidly disappearing.

He slightly raised his hand, his five fingers bending and straightening.

【Sword Comes】

A gentle yet majestic voice resounded throughout heaven and earth, neither male nor female, seemingly in harmony with all things.

As the two words fell, a lightsaber forged from the stars shattered the void and arrived.

The sword's brilliance is restrained, reflecting the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and the everyday life of people.

【Cheng Tian Xing Ming Jian】

The Six Hell Demon Lord's eyes fell upon the sword, and he naturally knew its name.

"The aura of the God of Fate? Which God of Fate from the ancient mountains and seas are you? Or...?"

The eyes of the starlight figure shone brightly.

Raise your sword to fight your enemy from the heavens above.

I inherit the legacy of the Azure and Purple Stars, born amidst the radiance of the stars, inspired by the grand aspirations of all living beings.

[Today, we inscribe the Way upon mountains and seas, and establish the laws of Heaven.]

From now on, all living beings, regardless of whether they are immortals or mortals, regardless of race, can become fireflies, fire, light, or countless stars, shining brightly throughout the myriad realms.

[Among all mortals and spirits, if they encounter natural disasters or man-made calamities and only seek survival, they may pray to receive my honored title.]

【Starry Sky and Enlightened Destiny】!

The sound of the Dao resounded brightly, echoing throughout the heavens.

The people on the ground looked up at the benevolent deity, their bodies warmed, their vitality returned, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness.

"The God of Fate! It's the God of Fate of Mountains and Seas!"

"Have I returned to the ancient world of mountains and seas?!"

Those cultivators who had been imprisoned by the Demon Lord's chains have all regained their freedom.

Gao Sheng gazed at the Milky Way flowing through the nine heavens, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"To witness this scene is an incredible blessing! Even if I were to die now, it would be worth it!"

"Is this a scene from a myth come to life?!"

"No! We live within a myth!"

The masses of people on earth gazed at that majestic figure; some had flushed faces, while others wept.

Above the nine heavens, the Milky Way flows.

【Starry Sky Enlightenment Master】Raises the sword horizontally.

The light of the Milky Way transformed into sword energy, aimed at the Demon Lord standing atop the Cangwu tree.

You deserve to die!

"What arrogance!"

The Six Hells Demon Lord finally realized what was happening and showed disdain.

"He's just a newly appointed Siming, still at the very beginning of the Great Dao, yet he dares to spout such nonsense? It's not like I haven't fought Siming before."

You are welcome to come and try.

The Daoist voice from the heavens above trembled the void.

In response, the Six Hells Demon Lord chuckled and gripped his sword, assuming a sword stance.

In an instant, space shattered, and the world lost its color.

One is dark, the other is light; two opposing forces, like fire and water, clash.

The Heaven-Slaying Candle Sword, desolate for eternity, as dark as a long night.

The 【Chengtian Star Sword】 illuminates all things, shining as brightly as the Milky Way.
