Chapter 406: The Battle of Dual Emperors

"Then let’s start the production immediately. Once the plan is completed, we can invite the Fourth Seat and the Seventh Seat to take action. With that, it should be no problem to forge the Treasure."

"We’ll prepare right away!"

Yun Ye allocated a significant amount of resources to establish a new research group, which included several experts who had been transferred from other departments, particularly those focused on Time Spirit Law. They should be able to adapt quickly.

Months later, the overall plan was completed.

The leader of the research was Liu Youmei, a rising super genius who was only twenty years old and already held the position of team leader.

Although the team leader was not necessarily a 2nd Level member, she led an independent team under the Seventh Seat organization, and there were only sixteen teams in Tomorrow Nation.

In other words, Liu Youmei possessed the intelligence and research abilities ranking among the top one hundred in all of Tomorrow Nation, making her the most anticipated candidate of the new generation.

"The Dusk Setting Sun Chaotic Dawn can form a closed loop of time and space. The chief’s requirement is to enable time to be reversed while also allowing life forms to be reversed…"

Liu Youmei was a beautiful young woman with slightly wavy black hair, a delicate appearance, and a capable aura. She easily delivered her presentation, clearly explaining this research topic to everyone in the group as well as external observers.

"Team leader, are we challenging the fusion of Yin and Yang this time? In order for Spirit Law to reverse life, we must integrate Physical Law, right?"

Someone asked, showing a troubled expression.

Who in Tomorrow didn’t know that the fusion of Yin and Yang was an insurmountable barrier? It had been decades, and there had not been any signs of achieving such fusion!

If this topic aimed to challenge the fusion of Yin and Yang, they would have no confidence at all!

It was too difficult!

"Even if it seems impossible, we must accomplish it. That’s our mission!"

However, Liu Youmei only answered with this resolute statement, showing no signs of wavering on her face, just a determination to overcome challenges.

A determined leader could indeed bring about a qualitative change in the team.

Her words made the majority reconsider their thoughts.

Perhaps, the fusion of Yin and Yang was not impossible?

How would they know unless they tried!

Liu Youmei acted decisively, leading the entire team to start researching the fusion of Yin and Yang.

Spirit Law could indeed revive the dead, but this resurrection was illusory; it merely created puppets, just demons.

But integrating Physical Law was entirely different. Physical Law held the secrets of life and could infuse life into everything, including corpses. If combined with Spirit Law, genuine reversal of life and death would become possible.

However…

It was incredibly difficult, truly too difficult.

Even though Yun Ye had honed his control over Spirit Law and Physical Law to the Third Stage Perfection and had forcefully advanced to the Fourth Stage through the occupational system, mastering the essence of Solar Spiritual Nature, he still could not achieve the fusion of Yin and Yang!

After countless experiments, Yun Ye reached a conclusion.

Solar Spiritual Nature had its distinctions; some were weak while others had extremely high upper limits. The type of Yin and Yang fusion he sought belonged to those with exceedingly high upper limits, making it impossible to achieve no matter what.

To put it simply, even the weakest Spirit Law Spiritual Nature equated to dual attributes, while a powerful one like Time Spirit Law could reach triple attributes or even quadruple attributes.

If they attempted fusion, it would be akin to trying to combine four attributes or even six attributes, a level of difficulty that rendered it entirely unfeasible.

To this end, Yun Ye took the time to attempt some simpler Fusion of Yin and Yang, and as a result, he successfully completed the fusion.

However, perhaps the method was incorrect, or due to other reasons, the difficulty of the fusion was too great, making it impractical for real combat.

Naturally, Yun Ye shared all these experiences with Liu Youmei; therefore, her research aim was not to find methods but to reduce the difficulty.

With the support of the occupational system, this was not mere fantasy, so she was indeed confident in achieving it.

—Even if she could not succeed, as a leader, she wouldn’t show any hesitation. Displaying doubt would only reduce the team’s efficiency, and that would serve no purpose.

The research began.

It was expected to last about three years, and if it took any longer, it would be forcibly terminated.

Theoretically, the sooner it was completed, the better, but in the absence of sufficient time, directly producing the Dusk Arms would not be impossible, just less efficient.

Yun Ye had great faith in the new generation of Super Geniuses. After all, among forty million people, twenty million were from this newly emerging generation. Most of their parents had strong physiques, meaning their children’s talents were expected to be exceptional, making the chances of finding geniuses far surpass any previous era.

With two million Super Geniuses emerging, they had completely energized the vast machine of Tomorrow Nation. All they lacked was time!

“Hmm…”

Yun Ye closed his eyes, sinking into his consciousness. His vision transformed with every breath, and the White Jade Heavenly Path appeared, establishing him in the sky.

He had attempted the eleventh tier Heavenly Path multiple times, all ending in failure, but this time he was determined to succeed!

There was not much time left!

The White Mist spread.

Yun Ye’s consciousness gradually became blurred; the sensations of his physical body disappeared, replaced by a new form.

It was cold.

The chill was astonishing.

"Tick-tock!"

Water droplets fell.

Swish!

Yun Ye suddenly raised his hand; a black hole expanded, as he activated the Ethereal Law, and before him, water splashed as a beam of sword light shot forward.

The Ethereal Law, activated beforehand, swallowed this beam of sword light, making it vanish without a trace.

“Die!”

Another beam of sword light followed, wielded by a male cultivator who had revived his spirit patterns. He bore a fierce expression and controlled his flying sword to unleash a fatal strike.

Kill, kill, kill!

Only by killing could he survive, move further, and bridge the gap between talent and status to gain a longer life!

A mere dying man was perfect for him to claim as an achievement!

Boom!

The sword lights merged, forming a giant sky-reaching sword, towering hundreds of meters high, a height that was stunning when viewed by humans.

Yun Ye pressed his hand against his chest, and a bloodied hole quickly healed. He reached out casually…

Bang!

The giant sword shattered into numerous fragments that scattered everywhere.

The male cultivator looked horrified, turning to flee, but a shard had already pierced through, killing him on the spot.

『Heavenly Path, Eleventh Tier: The War of the Dual Emperors: A calamity that occurs once in ten thousand years; beneath the Honored Position, all are but ants. As chaos descends, only the True Immortal stands high above, untouched by the struggles of the mortal realm. In this rare era of the Dual Emperors, perhaps only the True Immortal remains unscathed by worldly affairs.』

『Trials Objective: Survive.』

The eleventh tier of the Heavenly Path presented a clear objective. Although it still seemed vague in various aspects, it was much clearer than before.

“Tick-tock…”

Yun Ye wiped his clothes, and all blood and filth fell into the water.

He looked up, and an endless sea came into view, crystal clear as if it had no color, only an extremely strong Dao rhythm.

And…

Countless floating corpses.

The male cultivator Yun Ye killed was among these countless bodies, and as he sank into the water, all of his spirit energy was taken without a trace.

Within an observable distance, countless cultivators were battling, killing each other, and the blood stained the transparent ocean. Yet, the color sank to the seabed, transforming into a coral-like base color, mesmerizing to behold.

In this world, Yun Ye, being merely at the spiritual realm, was an existence smaller than ants, merely kindling for this great battle.

To determine the ultimate victor of the War of the Dual Emperors, he was to be burned as fuel.

“Ten thousand years ago, two Supreme Rulers initiated a war for the highest position, affecting the entire Red Heaven realm, with intensity that was relentless and unyielding. Countless lineages were thus destroyed, and this great battle lasted a millennium, ultimately ending with the future Path Lord emerging victorious, known as the War of the Dual Emperors!”

“However, something feels off. Where did it go wrong…?”
