Chapter 607: Holy Path Nine Weapons, the World God Returns

Yun Ye suppressed the World God with the Human Dao Hongyun and modified the Second Rule using another Heavenly Crown Artifact, entirely constructed from the resonance of Tomorrow Dao.

After ten thousand years of accumulation, it was enough to achieve the Dao twice. This was the most terrifying aspect of the Master of Heaven’s Cavern. Had it not been for the overwhelming pressure of the rules, Yun Ye could have lived for another twenty thousand years. The subsequent resonance collection would undoubtedly speed up, potentially allowing for two more opportunities to achieve the Dao. What a pity…

This time, there were no True Immortals descending to interfere, allowing the rule modification to complete right before their eyes.

They were displeased; the Red Heaven realm was gradually slipping out of their control.

Mystic Heaven, however, remained calm. Though he had lost most of his powers on the first day and could not control things completely like Yun Ye, he could still seal off the entire Red Heaven realm. He could make it impenetrable.

The New Heaven Divine Monarch could not leave the Red Heaven realm and had modified the Second Rule, significantly shortening his lifespan. He would not live much longer; after all, he was merely a handful of dust.

Indeed, unable to use True Immortal-level powers to descend into the Red Heaven realm, with only him able to intervene, many True Immortals would block him, not letting him do as he wished.

But what of it?

Before becoming a True Immortal, they were already Major Achievement Monarchs. Their power as True Immortals was invincible. Could it be that their Royal Path power was weak?

They merely needed to pay attention for an extended period, carefully arrange their strategies, and not reign as they did in the past, sleeping for thousands of years and only acting during critical moments.

For humanity, they remained at an absolute disadvantage. It was like having ancient monarchs watching over them at all times. If there were no one to support them…

“If there’s no one to support them, the Red Heaven will enter a darker era. This cannot happen.”

Yun Ye’s black hair turned white due to his injuries, a part of him he could not eliminate.

He had seen this future.

As he died and lost the unmatched power of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven to suppress the world, True Immortals would descend, and the power of the Royal Path, boundless as it was, could not be resisted by mere sects bearing Extreme Weapons. One immortal could dominate an entire continent, splitting the world, plunging it into an era of dark tyranny.

Without the absolute power of True Immortals, there would be no tolerance. Any potential talents would be hunted down and slaughtered.

Without the power of the Royal Path to take over, the darkness enveloping the world would be far worse than before!

“I need to forge brand new Extreme Weapons of the Royal Path as a foundation to resist these True Immortals.”

Yun Ye possessed eight Extreme Weapons of the Royal Path and a Heavenly Dao Divine Artifact. He disregarded the consumption of the Heavenly Dry Universe and reforged the Earth’s Wind, Water, and Fire to recreate the Divine Artifact.

Ultimately, the eight supreme weapons forged a connection with the New Heaven Canon, forming the supreme power to protect humanity, enabling the wielder to battle a Monarch.

When the nine supreme weapons suppressed the world, no external forces could invade.

Though it was uncertain how long they could shelter humanity, surviving the initial several thousand years should pose no problem.

Each treasured weapon was embedded with fragments of the Heavenly Dry Universe, drastically enhancing their power—far beyond what ordinary Royal Path power could overcome.

……

The New Heaven Celestial Empire held a court meeting.

The white-haired Divine Monarch sat in the seat of Yu Yu, recounting history and ideals while outlining the tasks ahead.

Everyone knew this sage was nearing his demise. No one could bear the burden of modifying the rules consecutively; it was a certain death.

Shui Wuge sat beside Yun Ye, her gaze lowered, completely silent, filled with sorrow.

She never expected it would be her brother to take the first step away.

The Monarch of the Royal Cave Heaven had a lifespan of thirty thousand years, and even had the chance to become a True Immortal, so why would anyone forsake it all for the sake of the world?

She personally found it hard to understand. Even after following Yun Ye all the way here, she still believed family and self were more important. There was no mission that compelled her to do anything, so she had never awakened the Dao Artifact.

Becoming a ruler of the New Heaven Celestial Empire was merely because the supreme ruler was her brother; she was just guarding the family legacy in his stead.

For ten thousand years, nothing changed. This was perhaps the flaw of obtaining the divine position of the Heavenly Dry Universe; everything had solidified at the moment ten thousand years ago when Heaven and Earth were opened up.

The court meeting concluded.

Yun Ye stayed behind alone with Shui Wuge.

"Wuge, True Immortals still covet the world. Even with the Holy Path Nine Weapons separating the inside from the outside, it is not entirely foolproof. We need the next sage to be born to modify the rules again, and only you can take on this task," Yun Ye told her.

"Brother, your sacrifice isn’t enough; must I sacrifice as well? This should be a grand era, a responsibility best passed to a sage like you. Wuge is not suited for this," Shui Wuge replied calmly.

"I don’t wish for you to die either. The choice is entirely yours, Wuge," Yun Ye smiled. "The past ten thousand years, you have been constrained by the divine position, unchanged and indifferent to everything. You became the perfect ruler—this was my mistake. So the next ten thousand years, I am returning to you—this is a privilege no one else has."

Shui Wuge had no complaints. Since she had inherited the divine position, her thoughts aligned completely with Yun Ye, so how could she harbor any grievances?

She could not grasp what Yun Ye was saying, nor was she interested. She simply looked at Yun Ye with ordinary eyes.

"Heavenly Cave, a world born from Opening Heaven and Earth, possesses absolutely powerful forces that can counter the span of heaven laws, extending one’s lifespan."

"As the inheritor of the divine position of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven, you also have the qualification to inherit the Heavenly Dry Universe. Once you become the Divine Master of the Heavenly Stem, your soul, which has been imprisoned for ten thousand years, will begin to grow again, gradually understanding everything in the current world and regaining your emotions."

"The next ten thousand years are entrusted to you!"

Yun Ye touched Shui Wuge’s forehead with his finger. The power of the supreme divine position surged forth, enveloping Shui Wuge in an overwhelming force. Her body was reshaped, and her soul was elevated. In an instant, she underwent a transformation, reaching an unimaginable realm, with divine rings surrounding her, making her appear as sacred as a deity.

If Yun Ye was the creator god, then Shui Wuge was now the god-king after the fall of the creator, the master of the world.

With her supreme divine position, Shui Wuge could control the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven, and surviving the next ten thousand years would be effortless.

The terrifying aspect of the span of heaven rules lies in its growing effect over time; unless one reaches the level of a True Immortal, only by abandoning their human identity can they achieve immortality.

"Brother…"

Shui Wuge’s consciousness faded into a haze.

On that day.

The stars dimmed, and the Heavenly Dry Universe covering the Red Heaven trembled, revealing various phenomena.

Yun Ye ascended to the outer universe, unleashing the power of the Heavenly Dry Universe. The suppressed World God appeared faintly.

Now, humanity no longer needed the World God, and he himself could not completely suppress it. He could only cast it out of the Red Heaven and leave it to Tong Ming Qiong to handle.

He originally intended to do so.

But Tong Ming Qiong’s figure arrived and said to him, "The power of the World God holds great value. Throwing it back into the Red Heaven is too shortsighted."

"…" Yun Ye could not suppress the World God himself. He found Tong Ming Qiong’s words puzzling and slipped into brief contemplation.

With the computational power of the Lord of the Heavenly Stem and having ascended to the Holy Path realm, Yun Ye’s strength was indeed overwhelming at this moment, and his analytical ability was greatly enhanced; even exhaustive calculation could yield answers.

"Ah, I see."

"I cannot suppress it, but the Heavenly Path can."

"Thank you, my friend, for stopping me in time, or I would have been oblivious."

Yun Ye bowed to Tong Ming Qiong.

"Good."

Tong Ming Qiong nodded.
