Chapter 409: World God

A waterfall flying down from the sky solidifies, drawing an eternal river in the heavens.

A curved half-moon hangs in the sky. If one could see through the celestial dome, they would witness shattered fragments scattered like fallen stars, having transcended countless ages. This old moon remains solidified here, becoming a wonder of this area.

Beneath the old moon is an illogical floating land.

Buildings, peaks, marshes, and lakes.

Numerous fragments fall here, frozen in this time and space, remaining unchanged for millions of years.

Like a sea that holds up countless objects, this place gradually acquires a clear name—The Still Sea.

This is a super forbidden area of the Red Heaven realm, existing for an unknown duration.

In this Still Sea, all movements in time and space have stopped; everything that enters will gradually lose its time and become solidified.

Once, a Supreme Ruler ventured into this forbidden land and never returned, vanishing into this dead ocean. This incident shocked the entire Red Heaven realm, ultimately recognized as a super forbidden area connected to True Immortals. Perhaps the powers of a True Immortal were trapped here, causing the strange situation where even emperors would fall.

At the deepest part of this still world stands an ancient palace.

Three terrifying beings either meditate, ponder quietly, or gaze up at the sky.

Their forms are infinitely large, impossible to fully glimpse, majestic enough to encompass the entire world, even towering over heaven and earth.

They also appear infinitely small, occasionally disappearing from sight, floating erratically, difficult to measure with ordinary perception.

Behind these three terrifying beings, a young boy floats with his arms crossed over his chest. His long hair flows down to his waist, spreading out, creating an inexplicable connection with the three beings, as if a powerful force is being transmitted.

His eyes are gently closed, peacefully sleeping, solidified with this time and space.

“Tong Ming Qiong, you are watching, right?”

The boy opens his eyes. An indescribably vast fragment of the future flashes in his gaze, orderly and natural.

He sees endless futures.

“Historical fragments of the Heavenly Path? Hard to believe, but if I don’t save him, I will fail. With my current strength, I can’t kill anyone.”

“I can’t leave here; I will be seen by them.”

Tong Ming Qiong slightly shifts his gaze, landing on the three figures.

He cannot let their efforts go to waste; no matter what, he must fulfill their long-cherished wishes at any cost!

Boom…

The Still Sea collapses in an almost imperceptible part, and this collapsing part transforms into power transmitted to the core battlefield of the two emperors.

This portion is enough to help that person through peril; everything will continue to develop as planned.

After 160,000 years, the waiting is about to end.

He absorbs the infinite power of time from the Still Sea; he grows one year for every ten thousand years, and reshapes his foundation every ten thousand years, having already reached perfection.

Now the future of the world rests in his hands, and the perfect method suited to him is finally complete.

As long as the War of the Dual Emperors concludes and the echoes of the Path Artifact reach the boundary of becoming a True Immortal.

It is time for him to come into the world.

He was born for this moment in this era.

Three Supreme Rulers sacrificed themselves to extend their lives, not hesitating to degrade the Dao Classics at the cost, to elevate his Innate Spiritual Law.

Everything is to witness the moment of ascension in this world, and no mistakes may occur.

…

With the assistance of his Innate Spiritual Law, Yun Ye feels extremely relaxed, taking shortcuts to slay his foes without any danger, gaining the greatest benefits.

He continually enters the Emperor’s Secret Palace to acquire knowledge and treasures, then enhances his strength.

The treasures are all items for advancing his cultivation level, and the knowledge consists of basic philosophies; anything related to the three heavens that could potentially fail is not to be involved.

Thus, Yun Ye gains many Secret techniques unknown to Tomorrow Nation…

However, unfortunately, most of the techniques are quite ordinary, and even the Emperor’s Secret Palace cannot have its inherited methods displayed here.

Overall, powerful techniques are typically spoils from defeated factions, and to maximize their value, they usually vanish after being exchanged to prevent knowledge from spreading and causing the effectiveness of the Heavenly Path to decline.

In this case, the top inheritances have likely long been taken and could not possibly be left for Yun Ye, a mere rookie in the law realms.

Yun Ye is also satisfied; his goal is to pass through the twenty-first tier Heavenly Path, with knowledge being secondary.

About half a month later, Yun Ye’s battle finally ends; he survives and passes the test.

The White Mist spreads.

Yun Ye sees Red Heaven again.

This time, she wears a golden-red phoenix gown, sitting on the imperial throne, more splendid than imposing.

Standing in the palace, Yun Ye can’t help but show some confusion.

A new scene?

"To understand the beginning and end of the War of the Dual Emperors is rare," Red Heaven says, passing the final third heavenly intention to Yun Ye.

A rush of historical fragments based on her past bursts forth.

The three heavenly intentions merge as one.

Yun Ye sees an incredibly detailed past, from start to end, gaining insight into what the artifact for becoming a True Immortal is called.

"The Heavenly Crown Artifact!"

Gathering the prayers of countless eras of the human race, it all leads to a super ritual in the entire Red Heaven realm; this is the origin of the artifact.

Red Heaven corrected the manifestations of heaven and earth with three Heavenly Crowns.

The first descent of power created the Heavenly Crown Artifact, the Red Embroidery Ball. Centered on this, it gathered the human race’s fortune, acquiring the strength to rewrite everything.

In the second descent of power, she used the Heavenly Crown Artifact to grant herself invincible strength, sweeping across the seas and lands, driving away countless demons and four divine beings, establishing a prosperous era for the human race.

In the third descent of power, she created the Heavenly Path, gathering all human wisdom, making them the eternal masters of the world, unafraid even with the return of the World God.

When the fourth echo reaches the number sufficient for becoming a True Immortal, Red Heaven chooses to cultivate companions.

Ten thousand years is too long.

Even the strongest cultivators will grow old and die.

However, becoming a True Immortal allows one to eternally preserve their undying selves, fully transcending this world…

Moreover, Red Heaven is well aware that she is not powerful; she believes that every subsequent immortal must certainly be stronger than her, more suited to battle the World God.

With a second immortal, there will be a third, a fourth, and with the speed of the human race’s echoes accumulating, becoming a True Immortal is much easier than becoming a god.

Even if the World Gods return from the entire multiverse, humans are unafraid.

Unfortunately.

Red Heaven did not make a mistake in one regard.

That is, the subsequent immortals will indeed be stronger than her, more combat-ready. Thus, with just the third True Immortal, Red Heaven was defeated.

She was eternally sealed by Qing Tian into the Heavenly Path; although she cannot stop watching over the world, she can do nothing, merely watching time pass, step by step walking toward the human race’s end.

The era belonging to Qing Tian has arrived!

In this moment, Yun Ye finally understands what the great ritual is…

It is the return of the World God.

It is the…

God of creatures!

Humans, no matter what, cannot defeat True Immortals, but the protagonists of ancient times, the highest beings that control the rules, the World Gods.

They can.
