Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

Jiang Hao looked at everyone's performance and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, very sensible." He then looked at Immortal Lord Taixu and said, "Immortal Lord Taixu, from now on you will be in charge of the affairs of the Immortal Realm."

Jiang Hao had no interest in managing these trivial matters; he had to continue his immortal journey through the mortal world and didn't have the time or energy.

The same applies to the two Celestial Venerables, so it's appropriate to hand them over to Immortal Lord Taixu.

Immortal Lord Taixu rose and respectfully replied, "I will obey the decree of the Heavenly Emperor."

The supreme beings of the Origin Realm nodded in agreement, and the supreme beings of the Lesser Immortal Realm also breathed a sigh of relief.

They had thought that after the merger they would be swallowed up and lose everything.

Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Emperor had made arrangements in advance, preserving their longevity substances and allowing them to rule the Immortal Realm.

This magnanimity won them over completely.

The news caused a stir in both worlds.

In the City of Myriad Realms, countless people jumped up in excitement.

"The human realm and the immortal realm coexist!"

"We of the Origin Realm follow the path of immortality in the mortal world, not seeking eternal life, but only combat power—this is the style of the Origin Realm!"

"Those who wish for immortality can go to the Immortal Realm; those who desire greater combat power and potential can stay in the Human Realm. Two paths, choose for yourself. How wonderful!"

In the Lesser Immortal Realm, the reactions were even more complex. Some were delighted, some were filled with emotion, and some let out a long sigh.

"The Immortal Realm is under the rule of our Taixu Immortal Lord, and the essence of immortality is preserved, so we can continue to live."

"But in the human realm, the combat strength of those of the same level is so strong, it would be a lie to say I'm not tempted."

"What's the use of being moved? The path to immortality in the mortal world is too difficult; not everyone can walk it."

"Then let's go to the immortal realm. Living a long life is the most important thing."

Some young people clenched their fists, their eyes blazing with fighting spirit:

"I want to stay in the human realm. I want to compete with the geniuses of the Origin Realm. Why can they be so strong, but we can't?"

The prodigies were eager to fight, their fighting spirit soaring.

In the mortal realm, one walks the path of immortality, not seeking longevity, but only combat power.

This means that the human realm will become a battlefield for geniuses and a cradle for the strong.

They are not afraid of competition or fighting; what they fear is not having a chance.

Now is the chance.

Some older cultivators, whose lifespans were nearing their end and who felt hopeless, turned their attention to the Immortal Realm.

There are substances that grant immortality there; going there could extend one's lifespan by tens of thousands of years. They've lived too long to keep going; they just want to live a few more years and watch the next generation grow up.

Others had other ideas.

"I may not be good at cultivation, but I'm good at having children. If I have a few more, and one of them turns out to be a genius, I'll have made a profit."

"Yes, yes, there will always be geniuses, why can't it be one of ours?"

"Go back and have children! If you have ten or eight, surely one of them will amount to something!"

"Ten or eight? I plan to have a hundred. Cast a wide net, and you're bound to catch some. If one of them has imperial looks, I'll make a killing!"

Those nearby twitched their lips in disbelief: "Do you think this is pig farming?"

"Pigs can reproduce, so why can't I? Do you think I married dozens of wives for nothing?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

The atmosphere between the two realms has never been so lively.

Jiang Hao stood outside the Lingxiao Palace, his hands behind his back, watching the world gradually merge into one.

Feng Wu stood beside him and whispered, "After the two realms merge, what will the Origin Realm become?"

Jiang Hao smiled and said, "It will be even better."

Jiang Hao raised his hand, and the Heavenly Heart Mark appeared, shining brightly.

"The merging of the two realms begins."

As soon as the words fell, both the Origin Realm and the Lesser Immortal Realm trembled simultaneously. Countless beams of immortal light surged from the two worlds, intertwining and transforming into a bridge spanning the void.

Countless runes flow across the bridge, each rune containing the mysteries of the Great Dao.

The Immortal Lord Taixu sat at one end of the bridge, his appearance solemn and dignified, reciting scriptures.

Each word that falls transforms into a Dao flower.

The flowers of Taoism droop down, resembling a long river.

The long river flows eternally, and the vast purple energy flows out, transforming into a bridge between the two realms, connecting the Origin Realm and the Lesser Immortal Realm.

Jiang Hao resides in the primordial space of the universe, in harmony with heaven and man, holding the Heavenly Heart Mark in his hand, and radiating seventy-two colors of light.

It transformed into layers of perfect, radiant wheels hanging behind him, a sign of the universe's respect for the Heavenly Emperor and its recognition of the Dao Fruit.

Boundless laws roared, transforming into chains of order that enveloped the vast universe.

Above the heavens, myriad laws roared, transforming into rays of light that cascaded down like waterfalls, connecting the two realms.

As the distance between the two realms gradually narrowed, their laws began to collide.

The Lesser Immortal Realm is itself a fragment of the Immortal Realm, and is naturally suited to merge with worlds of the same origin.

The Lesser Immortal Realm was embraced by the Origin Realm.

At the moment of fusion, Jiang Hao suddenly opened his eyes.

"Now!"

Jiang Hao laughed loudly, and boundless laws roared, transforming into chains of order that enveloped the vast universe.

Above the heavens, myriad laws roared, transforming into rays of light that cascaded down like waterfalls, guiding the Lesser Immortal Realm.

The Heavenly Heart Imprint resonates and moves, the universe is evolving, sublimating, and gradually transcending.

At this moment, all things return to their original state and begin to play a symphony.

Boom!

The moment the two realms completely merged, the entire universe trembled.

Countless beams of divine light surged forth from the center of the fusion, illuminating all the heavens and myriad realms.

In the light, the two realms began to be redefined.

The human realm is below, and the immortal realm is above.

A massive membrane of light separated the two, upon which flowed ancient runes—the rudimentary form of the Ascension Platform. Only by passing through the Ascension Platform could one enter the Immortal Realm from the mortal realm.

The celestial realm is layered upon layered, no longer the nine heavens of the previous minor celestial realm, but twelve heavens.

Each heaven is filled with countless celestial mountains, palaces, and springs, all bathed in celestial light and imbued with spiritual energy.

Compared to the previous small fairy realm, the current fairy realm is more vast, more sacred, and more like the legendary fairy realm.

Those longevity substances flowed in the immortal energy, and with each breath one could feel the extension of life force.

The human realm is a boundless sea of ​​stars, with dazzling stars and a complete Great Dao.

Although the suppression of the Great Dao has reappeared in the human realm, the cultivation environment is much better than before.

The spiritual energy is more abundant, and the principles of Dao are clearer. Ordinary people can easily live past a hundred years old here.

However, for the strong, the human realm has returned to its previous lifespan limits.

The emperor's reign lasts only about 20,000 years. If he wants to live longer, he must constantly break through and strive to cross the threshold.

Jiang Hao stood in the primordial space of the universe, looking down at the newly born world, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Twelve Heavens, not bad."

Jiang Hao decided to set a small goal: to first reach the Thirty-Three Heavens.

The supreme beings stared in disbelief at the earth-shattering changes.

The ancient emperor of Taiyuan stared with his mouth agape, unable to close it for a long time.

He had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and had never seen such a magnificent sight.

The two realms merged, humans and immortals separated, and the Ascension Platform stretched between them.

This is not a simple merger; it is a true rebirth.

"The Heavenly Emperor...this method..." he murmured, unsure of what words to use to describe it.

Jinpenghuang gripped his halberd tightly and took a deep breath.

Such earth-shattering methods were beyond his comprehension.

The supreme beings of the Lesser Immortal Realm stood in the Immortal Realm, looking at the Twelve Heavens, their eyes filled with awe.

They originally thought the Little Immortal Realm was good enough, but now they know what the real Immortal Realm is like.

The twelfth heaven was filled with countless rays of immortal light, and the longevity substance was more than twice as concentrated as before. They understood why the Origin Realm was different from what they had imagined.

It must be that the Origin Realm evolved under the leadership of the Heavenly Emperor.

As the Crimson Sun Immortal and his companions felt the spiritual energy of the immortal mountain beneath their feet, they exhaled a long breath and realized something.

Only by following the Heavenly Emperor can we have a future.
