Chapter 595: The True Immortals of the Ages, World Line Convergence

A chill ran down Yun Ye’s spine.

This was the only feeling he had.

The future Path Lord stood with the Red Heaven faction, and after becoming a True Immortal, he vanished, secretly planning something, not giving up on modifying the world’s rules.

Yet, this time span was only a few hundred thousand years, not yet a million years. If it stretched too long, the future Path Lord would also shift towards the ruling Dao faction.

Although this kind of suppression and transformation did not involve teaming up with other True Immortals, it would undoubtedly make him an enemy of the human race in the Red Heaven realm.

With the abilities of the future Path Lord, he had the potential to surpass Mystic Heaven and become the greatest darkness.

This was no joke; an existence that could completely foresee the future could easily plunge the Red Heaven realm into eternal despair.

Yun Ye remained silent for a moment. He was confident that he could complete the modification of the rules before that, completely cutting off any possibility of True Immortals interfering.

At that point, True Immortals could only watch as the Red Heaven realm swirled and shifted, unable to intervene at all; otherwise, they would pay a price they could not bear.

"It’s my turn to ask questions. I want to know if you actually defeated the Dual Emperors."

"Those two?"

"Cannot say."

Tong Ming Qiong shook his head.

"Why can’t you say? You are destined to become a True Immortal; these matters should not be worth concealing."

Yun Ye frowned.

"That is indeed the case for the present."

Tong Ming Qiong replied.

"The present?"

Yun Ye pondered these two words. Could it be that the Heavenly Monarch and Water Emperor were not truly dead and would do something in the future?

"Even I cannot foresee the future ten thousand years from now, hence I cannot know what will happen after I inform you," Tong Ming Qiong explained.

As the master of the Future Spirit Law, Tong Ming Qiong’s character and actions were completely in alignment with the Future Spirit Law. He would never do anything without a hundred percent certainty.

Even if this world were truly the Trials of the Heavenly Path, he would not take the risk.

It is worth mentioning that there was already a locked possibility that Tong Ming Qiong would kill Yun Ye after revealing everything. Even if Yun Ye mastered the Future Spirit Law, he could not overturn it, which was why Tong Ming Qiong chose to converse instead.

"What is the underlying logic of their actions? Do the True Immortals want to modify the world’s rules, or are they seeking to enhance their own strength? Are they mutually restraining each other?" Yun Ye moved on, direct in his questioning.

"There are a total of eight True Immortals in the world. The True Immortal Mother ascended via the royal path; her ultimate goal is to lead humanity to the peak of the multiverse, no longer fearing any threat.

The Lord of the Swirling Sky, known as the Blue Sky, walks a half-Immortal Path, half-royal path, aiming to transcend the multiverse and protect the human race.

The Returning True Immortal, Mystic Heaven, follows the ruling Dao, with the ultimate goal of consolidating all achievements into one, creating the biggest darkness of the present.

The True Immortal of Colorful Glow has no desires, wandering through the multiverse to experience a variety of landscapes; other circumstances are unclear."

These were the four stages, evolving step by step.

Red Heaven opened the Immortal Path through the royal path and would not prevent other cultivators from becoming True Immortals.

The Blue Sky continued into the Red Heaven, where the path was twisted by the Red Heaven. What should have been a complete pursuit of transcending oneself in the Immortal Path became a blend of the Half Immortal Path and the Royal Path.

Because of this, the Blue Sky period still had loopholes, allowing countless True Immortals, the Nine Lives True Immortal, and even the True Immortal of Spiritual Laws to attain their status.

By the time of the True Immortal of Spiritual Laws, the ruling Dao already emerged, casting extreme darkness, making it exceedingly difficult to become a True Immortal.

“Xuan” walked the path of Opening Heaven and Earth by utilizing the Five Elements Spiritual Law created by the True Immortal of Spiritual Laws, ultimately achieving the status of "Mystic Heaven."

After that, the difficulty of becoming a True Immortal skyrocketed; only the True Immortal of Colorful Glow and the future Path Lord could achieve this, both being so special that they could not be replicated.

Tong Ming Qiong, as the master of the Future Spirit Law, knew countless secrets.

Everything became clear.

"True Immortals are enemies to one another; many times, the emergence of True Immortals or Dao practitioners happens because they mutually restrain each other."

"Unfortunately, I am not the past Spirit Law, so I cannot fully understand all this. I can only glimpse some truths because the Heavenly Path records everything."

Using the Future Spirit Law comes with a cost, and Tong Ming Qiong understood that knowing this much was already his limit.

"Do you have any more questions?"

"I do!" Yun Ye nodded, "This time, why were you able to become a True Immortal? Don’t True Immortals sense the world line convergence?"

"First, you must understand that True Immortals are not omniscient or omnipotent. All True Immortals wish for themselves to be undying, indestructible, and invincible. Based on this foundation, their own techniques transform into True Immortal magic. In other words, becoming a True Immortal merely grants one the power of immortality and invincibility. What one can truly accomplish depends on their specific techniques."

"The True Immortal Mother, as the first True Immortal in history, practices the laws of the Royal Path, which are essentially based on fortune. Therefore, after attaining True Immortal status, she did not gain any enhancement in terms of combat. In the face of those below the Immortal level, her invincibility allows her to easily eradicate everything, even against Monarchs who open caves. However, when facing the Blue Sky, who is also an Immortal, her invincibility was negated, and she was defeated, ultimately being sealed."

"Similarly, although the Blue Sky later ruled the world, repeatedly modifying the world’s rules to enhance his True Immortal power, his vision was limited, and he could not erase all possibilities. After forcibly using various True Immortal powers to suppress later True Immortals multiple times, he was defeated the instant Mystic Heaven emerged."

"It is evident that each True Immortal has their own respective domain. In their domain, no matter how hard mortals struggle, it is meaningless. However, outside of that, it is not impossible for mortals to challenge True Immortals; otherwise, there wouldn’t be multiple True Immortals."

"Among the many True Immortals, only the Nine Lives True Immortal has touched upon the path of time, but it is an unstable ‘fate.’ Even if the Nine Lives True Immortal closely monitors the Red Heaven realm, they would mistakenly think my story happens in the past, that everything has yet to begin, merely a possibility that is already dead, thus remaining completely unobserved."

Tong Ming Qiong seemed to have a wealth of knowledge and appeared eager to share it all. After waiting for one hundred sixty thousand years, it was an eternity; he knew he was on the brink of collapse and was desperately trying to reverse the trend.

His explanations were clear.

The world line convergence starts from a singular point, splitting the world into two time and space; these mirrored realms continue to develop forward, ultimately arriving at completely different endings. Tong Ming Qiong can freely choose one ending as the convergence point and overlay it onto the current world.

This process remains exceedingly complex, even in the eyes of future Spirit Law users, making it impossible for others to perceive that the world has been divided in two.

If it were the Nine Lives Spirit Law, which measures fate, it would fail to observe this fact.

After all, in the eyes of the Nine Lives True Immortal, the world has indeed reached the point of the War of the Dual Emperors, while the decisive moment for another world line, ‘the emergence of Tong Ming Qiong,’ happened a hundred years ago, already bypassing it. The past is fixed and cannot interfere with the present.

The Nine Lives Spirit Law would directly calculate based on current conditions. With known conditions being erroneous, no matter how many times calculations are made, it would always predict a future where the God Destruction Clan defeats the Water Emperor, making it utterly impossible for the future Path Lord to attain True Immortal status.

This method is nearly a one-hundred percent guarantee of becoming a True Immortal, which led many True Immortals to act forcefully, directly tearing apart the Dao Classics of the Future Spirit Law.

To this, Yun Ye could only exclaim in admiration.
