Chapter 754: Reversing the Era, the Heavenly Emperor Becomes a God!

“So that’s how it is!”

Yun Ye finally understood completely. He had naturally explored where his soul came from—was it from another universe? Did Earth truly exist? What exactly is the Rebirth Book?

In truth, he already knew the answers. He received information from the Red Heaven realm, which indeed came from other universes.

This information from another world prompted the evolution of the Red Heaven realm, an evolution that did not belong to it.

The world, originally made entirely of spirit energy, transformed into a half-material, half-spirit energy world.

Various laws of physics also transitioned from pure spirit energy phenomena into deeper natural phenomena, with Earth’s laws coexisting alongside the Red Heaven Principle.

The Rebirth Book is so extraordinary precisely because of the changes in the laws, combining a thread of possibility and endless echoes that emanated from the world.

His luck had always been astonishing; in just seven lifetimes, he nearly achieved the great feat of ushering in a New Heaven. The reason lies here.

He carries the collective wishes from countless regrets of humanity, propelled by the grand momentum established by the sages of multiple eras, advancing like a force that breaks bamboo.

As the saying goes, "the situation creates the hero."

Zhu Yuanzhang appeared during an era of peace and prosperity, while being born in times of calamity and chaos is a vastly different circumstance. Moreover, he is not someone exceptionally capable; even with the Rebirth Book, he utilized a full seven lifetimes, assisted by several True Immortals and the collective efforts of countless individuals.

This is the natural progression of the situation, the direction of people’s hearts, and by no means his achievement alone!

At this very moment, he stood on the boundary to open up the future.

In a single thought, light and darkness reversed!

“The world should evolve, just as people must grow. This is an unstoppable trend, whether for humans or immortals!”

“So, people need not seek eternity; they only need to focus on the present and the future, living without regret!”

“We have waited a long time to grasp every possible opportunity, but possibilities are dispersed across the world and no one can oversee them all.”

“All we can do is what we can do, and then… leave it to fate!”

True Spirit had finished saying everything he needed to say.

He believed that people should do their utmost to open up the future, and regardless of success or failure, they should accept it calmly. To give their all is already a noble enough endeavor!

“Trust is the greatest weakness in life; everything could possibly be a conspiracy. It is us, it is the world driving the game, and countless sacrifices merely allow someone to transcend.”

“Spirit Laws cannot connect hearts, otherwise, the human race wouldn’t have repeated the same mistakes countless times over the million years without learning a lesson.”

“All choices are in your hands. We can only create this possibility since time is running out; there won’t be another chance.”

Tong Ming Qiong spoke frankly, revealing the essence of his own power.

Spirit Laws and soul were pure black, while the physical body and Physical Laws were pure white. Having progressed to becoming a Monarch, he had long shed the distinction of color; if pressed to describe it, during his Royal Path phase, he should be pure white, untainted by any external forces.

But now, this pure white was being stained black, the result of the path’s deviation. After numerous forecasts of the future and manipulation of the grand situation, he was yanked backwards in time, greatly accelerated.

Whether the next great change of heaven and earth could capture the opportunity is uncertain; merely waiting for how many years is already a question.

From the Red Heaven to Yun Ye’s birth, a full million years had passed. Even if he sealed the Future Spirit Law and completely refrained from use, it had long been shifted to a half-ruling Dao, half-Royal Path. At this stage, he must deviate due to the shift, disregarding the cost, and willfully use Future Spirit Law, ultimately turning completely into ruling Dao.

In a million years, the Qing Sky’s time was merely distorted by half by the Royal Path, but for Tong Ming Qiong, a million years would mean a complete reversal of the path.

“Your choice will determine the future.”

At this point, everything that True Spirit and Tong Ming Qiong needed to explain was complete. The two True Immortals of the Royal Path vanished without a trace, followed by a tremendous change in heaven and earth.

Yun Ye saw everything filled with laws, and the entire world began to reverse.

“The foundation of the Celestial Empire’s cave techniques comes from Extreme Spiritual Law. This is a universal law that remains applicable even after leaving the Red Heaven realm; it is information from another universe. It has simply incorporated the characteristic of the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth from the Red Heaven realm, transforming into a ‘universe’ that can constantly grow and lacks conservation of quality.”

“We cannot prevent the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth from acting in the outer heavens, but we can temporarily pull back the laws of the Red Heaven realm to what they were hundreds of thousands of years ago. All Masters of Heaven’s Cavern practicing Extreme Spiritual Cave Techniques who arrive in the Red Heaven realm will be suppressed, losing most of their power.”

“As an anomaly in the process of becoming a Monarch, you will remain unaffected and become a node that connects the two time and space. If you succeed, the world will head in the right direction; if you fail, the world will regress to hundreds of thousands of years ago, a world without Extreme Spiritual Law.”

Unlike the silent natural evolution of the world, forcibly regressing to hundreds of thousands of years is a monumental task that requires extraordinary power.

It is not just about power; the condition to be met is the “consensus of all living beings in the Red Heaven!”

“Everyone, lend us a helping hand!”

“The Celestial Empire has occupied our path for too long. All the efforts of the past, present, and future are converging at this moment; the success or failure hinges on this one action!”

The intentions of the two True Immortals spread throughout the Red Heaven.

Countless beings felt a shock.

The past and the future were becoming manifest!

They experienced the efforts of the future Path Lord and True Immortal of Spiritual Laws across time, witnessing them overcome one despair after another!

“So that’s how it is; even we must join the human weapon system?”

Tiankai, who was assisting the Celestial Empire in soothing the various True Spirit races, looked up, showing a moment of realization.

The danger facing the Red Heaven realm was too terrifying. As a representative of the True Spirit clans, she had persuaded all the Demon Tribes. Although the time was short, most of the Demon Tribes immediately joined the Celestial Empire, willing to adhere to its order and contribute to the Celestial War…

The reason was simple: under such power, mere mortals felt helpless. They could only pray that Qing Emperor and the future Path Lord would truly look after the myriad beings of Red Heaven!

Yun Ye was fighting, and so was the internal strife in the Red Heaven realm. Meanwhile, the condition for consensus had been achieved, with all powers converging into the Royal Path fruit position, transforming into the ultimate authority that governs the Red Heaven.

“Power is surging forth. This is no longer the weapon of the human race but the true Red Heaven weapon.”

Ming Ri smiled as he spoke to Yun Ye.

Once the Red Heaven Era began, humanity possessed the Heavenly Crown Artifact, allowing them to make wishes, gain absolute rules, or modify the world’s rules.

This power did not belong solely to humanity; theoretically, the Demon Tribes could replicate it too. The Absolute Emperor had done something similar, setting up formations in the Red Heaven, demoting bloodlines of races, and increasing the size of groups, all with the aim of replicating weapon wishes to become immortals.

But tragically, since the birth of the first True Immortal, the path ahead had already been blocked.

The path walked by the human race is one that even their descendants are forbidden to tread again, let alone the outsiders.

The Absolute Emperor, as expected, failed.

And this situation aligns with Yun Ye’s fate as well.

Was Qing Liu Sheng truly invincible?

Continuous wishes?

That is absolutely impossible!

If defeat is inevitable, the True Immortals will completely flatten the Red Heaven realm, bringing the story of Red Heaven to an end!

Next, they merely spent an infinite amount of time seeking a chance for transcendence in the multiverse era. The challenge was indeed great, but at least they would not be suppressed by the invincible immortals!

“Lend me a helping hand, Ming Ri!”

“Okay!”

Yun Ye raised the Ming Rihui Sword, which gathered the wishes of all the beings in the entire Red Heaven realm, and pierced it into the void, tearing apart countless laws.

Fragments of time flew by, and the power left by the True Immortal of Spiritual Laws covered the Red Heaven.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

The world suddenly changed, beginning to regress to an age defined by pure spirit energy, as several monarchs descended, feeling as if they were being suppressed by countless worlds.

What happened?

“Boom!”

Before they could react, their bodies exploded, and Yun Ye devoured everything. The Royal Path fruit position existed at a singularity, merging the past and the future, enveloping the entire Red Heaven realm. To his left was the material age, and to his right was the spirit energy age, having thoroughly mastered the Red Heaven.

And this was merely becoming a Monarch, just the first step!

“I wish for the Emperor God Destruction Clan…”

“Awaken the absolute rules of the cave!”

In the outer heavens, an almost decayed old man suddenly opened his eyes.

Endless celestial light covered everything. In the horrified gazes of many True Immortals, the Despairing Monarch opened his eyes, revealing the Mystic Heaven Dao Classics in his hand: “Old man has waited long enough.”

“Achieving the Dao through Mystic Heaven, exchanging caves for celestial positions, today I shall imitate the Third Heaven and offer the Major Achievement Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven to awaken the rules of Five Elements Cave Heaven.”

In the void, two Heavenly Stem Cave Heavens fluctuated, their Qi crossing infinite distances to connect with the Red Heaven realm, instantly burning into nothingness and merging into the Red Heaven.

A great transformation occurred in the Red Heaven; the Fourth Heaven and Fifth Heaven were born.

Simultaneously, at a certain point, a Royal Path Five Elements Cave Heaven and the Despairing Monarch both enveloped in celestial light, that was the power belonging to the Heavenly Crown Artifact.

An unprecedented elevation began!

The speed was so fast that there was no space to stop it; even the recent Countless True Immortals attempted to slay the Despairing Monarch, but they were obstructed by the absolute rules of the Red Heaven realm, unable to kill him in time.

“Becoming a God!??”

Countless True Immortals couldn’t comprehend; it was not about wishing to become an immortal, but rather to become a God? Even if the cave obtained absolute rules and could protect a person for eternity, how could a world that awakened the absolute rules allow outsiders to encroach?

Its perfection would be completed, inevitably leading to the Master of Heaven’s Cavern being devoured, losing all rationality and becoming a part of the absolute cave!

Caves were a power that could grow infinitely; as long as one accumulated enough, one could unravel the mysteries and have the possibility of becoming a God.

However, the price of becoming a God had never changed. A person could not control such perfection and would inevitably lose their rationality!

“Despairing Monarch! Becoming a God is destined to lead to the loss of rationality; what exactly do you want to do!!!”

The Nine Lives True Immortal’s ominous premonition grew stronger.

He saw numerous possibilities for the future, but they dwindled the further he looked, the future converging to a single point!

“Human consciousness is not an absolute rule; the evolution of the world to perfection will lead to the erosion of the Master of Heaven’s Cavern. This is indeed unavoidable…”

“But, it’s not without ways to delay this process. As long as there is opposing power of the same level, the erosion will not be completed instantly.”

The Despairing Monarch’s body spread the absolute rules, and as the absolute rules of the cave awakened, they immediately expanded. Endless information sought to assimilate his consciousness, but fortunately, his Spirit Sea opened a phantom world, with a dark singularity lurking within, eroding and destroying the phantom world.

Similarly, the power of the cave’s absolute rules was obstructed, unable to completely swallow the Despairing Monarch’s consciousness.

His memories and awareness were still being impacted; however, compared to the absolute-rule level, he could barely withstand the downgraded Demigod level.

That was enough!

“True Immortals, let us go to the yellow springs together!”

The Despairing Monarch’s aged face could not shed its wrinkles, but his spirit was still magnificent, showcasing the divine might belonging to the Emperor.

“Emperor!!!”

Mystic Heaven roared, sensing the presence of the Despairing Monarch, but it was all too late. Tong Ming Qiong swung the Bell Staff and suddenly smashed him down to the Red Heaven realm. He struggled, the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth burst forth, but with the Five Elements flow, the overwhelming world pressed down, and all he could do was scream in despair.

He had long since lost the cave; although the Emperor was old, when he acted, he had the support of the absolute cave, making him unstoppable. With one strike, he sent Mystic Heaven crashing into the Red Heaven.

In the Red Heaven realm, the Heavenly Path appeared, transforming into a barrier, and the figure of Red Heaven emerged, with countless chains binding Mystic Heaven, trying to drag him into the Heavenly Path.

The main body descended into the Red Heaven realm; the power of absolute rules rapidly decreased, yet in an instant, it still possessed the strength to destroy the entire Red Heaven realm.

Mystic Heaven realized he had completely fallen into a trap; disregarding everything, he released the power belonging to a True Immortal to shatter the Red Heaven realm directly!

Though the Red Heaven realm had absolute rules, it lacked the will of a world to unify, rendering it unable to resist destruction.

“Yun Ye!”

Red Heaven shouted, proclaiming Yun Ye’s true name for the first time, known to the world.

She was powerless to stop Mystic Heaven. Trapped on the Heavenly Path, even if she wanted to force her way down, she could not; the only function of the Royal Path Body was to help Yun Ye gain strength.

“Burn, inner universe!”

Yun Ye clenched his fist without hesitation, a smile appearing on his lips; this line was his final trump card, “This time it will be my victory!”

“Mystic Heaven!”

Yun Ye’s figure ignited, wielding the Ming Rihui Sword and lunging at Mystic Heaven. Mystic Heaven raised his hand to block the Dao Sword, but even the Red Heaven Tomorrow Dao Sword could not harm him. The celestial-level power indeed weakened, but interference from the outside world lessened, and his existence remained eternal and indestructible.

Yet, he was pushed back. Endless force pushed him toward the Heavenly Path, and a roaring dark cube began to materialize, opening its “blood basin mouth”!

“Stop, you bastard! What is it all for, sacrificing for a group of mortals? Have you been brainwashed by the world? Only transcendence can free a person from the world’s chains; wake up quickly!”

Mystic Heaven screamed in terror, his hand revolving with the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth, desperately trying to stop and retreat.

He finally understood; in the future, the Path Lord intended to send him into the Heavenly Path to be devoured by the World God of Slaughter!

The immortals were indestructible, but only their bodies remained intact. Their consciousness was merely attached to the impurities of the indestructible immortal body. Once consumed by the world god, they would be eroded just like the absolute cave of the Master of Heaven’s Cavern!

What difference was there between disappearing consciousness and destruction?!

The transcendence they pursued was the transcendence of both body and mind, remaining oneself, surpassing all!
