However, these nebulae were just a small portion of the First Universe.In the First Universe, there were many more other nebulae.“I’ve finally arrived at the Fist Universe.“The First Universe’s lifespan was supposed to have ended long ago. However, they fused the Thirteenth Universe into theirs and forcefully extended their lifespan. Otherwise, they would’ve already ceased to exist.”Standing outside the First Universe’s border, James recalled some things about the Thirteenth Universe.He stepped through the border and entered the First Universe.James immediately unleashed his Divine Sense, which spread throughout the universe. He quickly learned that the First Universe was huge. After they merged with the Thirteenth Universe, their area became twice the size of the Twelfth Universe.The First Universe’s Heavenly Path was also very stable and strong.James murmured, “As expected from the First Universe.”Suddenly, a few people surrounded him.They were the Macrocosm Ances
Many large galaxies existed within the nebula, and there were at least a hundred billion inhabited planets. The planets were massive, and there were at least a trillion living beings on each of these planets.There was a planet within this nebula that had Three Dimensions—Mortal, Sage, and Divine.The planet used to be called the Silent Realm but was later renamed the Cassa Realm.James stepped forward in the nebula and immediately entered a galaxy, appearing outside the Cassa Realm. Standing outside the Cassa Realm, James suddenly felt tiny, as if he was just a tiny particle.The planet was from the Thirteenth Universe. When he entered the Thirteenth Universe in the past, he witnessed the birth of the Silent Realm by coincidence. Back then, the planet had only one dimension.Now, it had already evolved into a major realm with three dimensions.James did not know how it evolved into a major realm.He stood outside the Cassa Realm puzzledly.“After witnessing the formation of th
This place had existed since the creation of the Mount Snow Sect. There was once a powerful figure here who resolved a crisis of the sect. Quanesha Samara was a disciple of the Mount Snow Sect. Ever since she obtained a Chaotic Treasure, many powerful figures had been on her heels. It was James who saved her and helped her absorb the providence of the universe. Ever since then, she rapidly emerged as a force to be reckoned with. Once the new universe merged with the First Universe, she was no longer concerned about her safety. She began revealing her strength. With her Five Great Paths, she crossed into the Caelum Ancestral God Rank in a short period of time. In the end, the Five Great Paths merged, and she cultivated a Macrocosm Power, thus becoming a Macrocosm Ancestral God. As she reached the Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank, the Mount Snow Sect also rose in power and held a high status in the First Universe. Now, it was one of the greatest sects in the First Universe.James re
Quanesha glared at James, hoping to see through his strength. Yet, she could not see through his rank. This made her wary as she silently wondered, ‘When was such a powerful figure in the First Universe?’ She had basically seen all the Macrocosm Ancestral Gods of the First Universe. However, the man before her had an unfamiliar face.“Who are you?” Quanesha asked again.James smiled faintly and said, “Forty-nine.”He did not reveal his true identity.“Forty-nine?”Quanesha staggered backward, apparently intimidated by this name. Forty-nine's name recently became well-renowned in the universes As a Macrocosm Ancestral God of the First Universe, she naturally knew that Forty-nine was a human from the Twelfth Universe. In the Chaos of the Twelfth Universe, he annihilated a Three-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God of the Sixth Universe. “Wh-What are you here for? This is a restricted area of the Mount Snow Sect. No one is allowed to trespass.” Though fearful, Quanesha questioned him rega
“She’s currently in the sect. Please enter.”Every disciple of the Mount Snow Sect was very respectful toward him for the man was none other than Yermolai Devereux, the disciple of the Omnipotent Lord. Not only that, but he was also a Macrocosm Ancestral God who cultivated ten Paths. As such, he held a high status in the First Universe. As a prodigy, he was not interested in any woman except for Quanesha Samara. The moment he lay his eyes on her, he was captivated by her beauty and would frequently visit the Mount Snow Sect to find her. Yermolai returned the warm greetings with a smile and casually tossed some Genesis Stones to them.“The Ancestral Cloud Master sure is generous!”“Indeed, he would give us treasures every time he’s here.”“If Master can join forces with him, the Mount Snow Sect would surely reach even greater heights.”“I don't know what Master is thinking. It would be a waste not to accept such a fine gentleman.”The disciples who received presents were delight
Yermolai had encountered Quanesha long ago in the Thirteenth Universe. However, as she was insignificant back then, he could not even be bothered to look at her. However, ever since the Thirteenth Universe merged with the First Universe, she emerged as a force to be reckoned with and became a terrifying figure. Hence, gradually, she attracted the attention of Yermolai.Yermolai looked at the spiritual mountain. The more reluctant Quanesha was to speak the truth, the more interested he was.“I’m going there to have a look. I wonder what’s in there.”His body flashed, and he flew straight ahead.“You! Come back!”Quanesha yelled, urging him to return but to no avail.At that moment, James was in closed-door meditation in the spiritual mountain. He had set up a Time Formation in his surroundings. Though only three thousand years had passed in the outside world, a long time had passed in the Formation. In the meantime, he comprehended. This planet should have been destroyed. Yet, Q
Though Quanesha had been cold to him all this while, she never showed fury or signs of resorting to violence. Yet, today, she summoned a terrifying aura. The more agitated Quanesha was, the more suspicious Yermolai became. There must have been some sort of secret.“I will break into the Formation no matter the cost.”Yermolai said. Saying that, he raised his hand, and a powerful force materialized in his palm and attacked the Formation. He wanted to use brute force to break the Formation.“You…!”Quanesha was enraged and tried to stop him. However, upon remembering there was a powerful figure inside, she suppressed the urge to do so. She did not want James’ enemy to enter and contaminate the place. Hence, she wanted to borrow Forty-nine’s strength to teach Yermolai a lesson.As Yermolai struck the Formation, the earth shook, and the power spread throughout the area. The entire Cassa Realm seemed to be on the verge of disintegrating. The Formation, however, was mysterious, and Yerm
Yermolai nearly peed his pants. He only thought this mysterious place contained some sort of secret. He never expected Forty-nine to be in closed-door meditation here. Otherwise, he would not even have dared approach this place. “I-I was wrong! I promise I will never do such a thing again!”Quanesha said coldly, “So you know fear. I thought you weren't afraid of anything.”At that moment, Yermolai had to suppress the urge to shut Quanesha up. He thought to himself, ‘What the hell do you think you are doing? Don’t you know that he’s a powerful figure who can even annihilate Macrocosm Ancestral Gods?’“Although I can spare your life, you cannot escape punishment.”James struck Yermolai’s chest, and a hole was pummeled through him. Meanwhile, a mysterious power spread throughout his body. James released his grip, and Yermolai collapsed to the ground. Yermolai stood up with great difficulty and hurriedly catalyzed power to heal his injury, which rejuvenated at a rapid pace. Even so,
The sky was a brilliant blue, accented by white clouds. Vast plains stretched out with rolling peaks, rivers, and seas crisscrossing the expansive land, while an aura of Spiritual Energy permeated everything. This was a new world, brimming with life and vitality, existing independently from the myriad realms.Countless cultivation resources awaited discovery here. Unending adventures beckoned the brave, and limitless opportunities awaited those with exceptional talent.This was the new world James had created, based on the Forty-Nine Daoisms and merged with his own Daoism, to resolve the Leere Tribulation and save countless beings across the myriad realms.In this world, there was no powerful Heavenly Path, no hierarchy of races, no strict rules or oppressions, and no fate governing everything. Instead, actions were judged by karma. Fortune and misfortune, as well as success and failure, were determined by karma.Though it adhered to the principle of survival of the fittest and res
“No wonder,” Lord Goyo finally understood after an extended contemplation.He distinctly remembered that back at the Yin’s Void, Jacopo, the incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, had abruptly ordered him to move all foundations out of the Dark World. In hindsight, everything now made sense. It was likely that Jacopo had foreseen all of this.Realizing this, Lord Goyo felt a chill run down his spine as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Despite doubting Jacopo’s identity as an incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, he had followed his advice. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.Snapping back to reality, Lord Goyo looked down at the Yang governor and Gladwin from his elevated position.“You fool, do you realize your mistake?”The Yang governor and Gladwin looked up simultaneously, their faces full of fear.“Lord Goyo, I truly didn't notice this. I had no idea when the Dark World was separated.”“Lord Goyo, there is something fishy about this. If James has
At the peak of Mount One in the myriad realms, the Yang Governor, disguised as James, descended with Gladwin. Both looked deathly pale, as if they had just escaped a life-threatening disaster. They were filled with panic.They stopped simultaneously upon arriving beneath a massive platform in a grand dojo.“We need to sort this out first,” the Yang Governor glared fiercely at Gladwin. “Who's going to explain this later, you or me?”Gladwin swallowed nervously. “Of course, it should be you.”“Why should it be me?” the Yang Governor scoffed. “Haven't you always claimed to be Lord Goyo's top confidant and meddled in our alliance's affairs? Now you're chickening out when there's a major issue?”Gladwin's face twitched. “This has nothing to do with cowardice. It's your duty as the leader of the Path Guardian Alliance.”The Yang Governor laughed in exasperation. “You've always been the one gathering intelligence across the myriad realms, boasting that you're better than Yegor from Skyn
That was the first thing he asked after surviving a monumental battle. James patted his shoulder. "The twenty thousand men…" "As long as it's broken," Wyot interjected, staring into the emptiness. "It's a pity the Dark World is gone forever."James wanted to respond, but the other survivors gathered around them. After the battle and the aid of the path source, they had ascended to Path Emperors, becoming top powerhouses in the myriad realms.James nodded, then waved his hand, summoning a path pearl that gleamed with holy light. The light and aura it radiated were enough to make any living being kneel before it.Just as James was about to act, Wyot knelt on one knee, followed by his warriors.James frowned. "Wyot, brothers, you have the right to stand…""We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!" Wyot declared loudly, clasping his fists. His warriors did the same."We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!"Their voices were unified, echo
Then, the Formation of Perception shook violently. When he snapped out of it, he realized that the twenty thousand Doom Race warriors led by Xezal had almost all perished.Among the remaining ones, three were losing their bodies. Hastily, James tossed three path sources into the formation, but it did not stop their bodies from crumbling."Move them out, quickly," urged Zella. "They're under immense pressure inside."James waved his hand and broke the Formation of Perception.Xezal and his remaining warriors—just three of them—appeared in the void. They were tattered and covered in blood. Their hair was unkempt, and they were barely recognizable. These were heroes who had experienced hell.Though wobbling, they stood in battle stances. Their valiance and undying will moved James. He turned his hand and covered them with four path sources, then told them to sit and heal."That's the Doom Race for you. The fact that they survived this titanic battle says a lot about their talent," Z
"Fourth, I have left some treasures for the Yaneiri Clan. They should be enough to establish yourselves in the new world. Fifth, do not be Deified. Never, ever do that. You must keep the Yaneiri Clan safe."Wynton's body contorted, plunging him into further pain. Cracks spread across his skin. "You owe me, James! You owe my clan!" he roared for the last time in his life before crumbling into dust.The light strips that imprisoned him shattered as well, and purple flames lunged at James' light wall, the shockwaves splintering it into fragments before rampaging toward the inconsolable Zella.James flew to Zella, scooped her up, and they took off. The shockwaves from Wynton's self-destruction rapidly spread, obliterating the surrounding formations.But that wasn't the end. Once freed, the shockwave rippled across the Dark World, annihilating everything in its path. Countless universes met their demise.Meanwhile, James protected the remaining Doom Race warriors within the formation,
Wynton was hysterical, but James merely shrugged. “Wynton, they say the last act people do before they die is to be kind. I see none of that in you, and you lost to me.”“And so what?” Wynton roared. “You’re just luckier than me, James! You have a Yin governor as your wife, and she has your back all the time! You would never have come this far otherwise!”James smiled. “Keep going.”“I know you don’t want to owe me any favors.” Wynton glared at him angrily. “You gave me three free attacks to repay me for sparing you in the River of Time.“Now, I’ve given you your children’s past selves back, and you owe me once more. You’re waiting for my terms, aren’t you?”James looked resigned.“Wrong,” Wynton sneered. “I won’t ask for any promises, nor will I give you any chance to repay this debt. Now, you shall owe me a favor you can never repay!”James sensed something was wrong and was shocked. “Wynton!”Wynton, imprisoned, began to burn, flames flickering and licking his body. He roare
"That’s…" The sight of that token filled Wynton with shock. "Y-You’re working with the Shadowborns?""Will you give it to me?" James shot him a threatening look.Wynton shivered, taking a deep breath. Then, a flash of purple light burst forth, and a brilliantly shining mirror flew out from the top of his head.James released Wynton and grabbed the mirror. It resonated with the token, and both items shone blindingly, responding to each other.'It’s true,' James thought. 'The Shadowborn token the master gave me before he left can sense the Nothingness Path Mirror. But why?' Questions swirled in his mind."That mirror will do nothing for you," Wynton said. "I can’t control it, so you can’t either. The only one who can is the Yin governor."He looked at James. "And she’s cleaved in two. Unless you can merge them together, the mirror will not work. However, with just your wife’s half-self, finding Wuia’s current and future selves will be a nigh impossible task."James tucked the mirr
James remained silent. He couldn't muster a response. Now, he finally understood why the Leere Tribulation had been orchestrated and the role his wife played in it.He had initially thought that by destroying the past version of Wuia concealed within the River of Time, he could hurt Wuia. Even if he couldn't stop the Leere Tribulation, he could at least delay it.With more time, he planned to gather additional clues and eradicate all three versions of Wuia, permanently solving the problem. However, his conversation with Wynton had changed his plans.Wynton observed James standing in silence and smirked. "Of course, there's a way to do this."James furrowed his brow.Wynton, brimming with glee, continued, "Kill your wife and the Light Heavenly Path. If they vanish entirely, Wuia will never obtain the Void Spiral. Even if the Leere Tribulation materializes and he returns, his strength will be no greater than before his reincarnation. You'll have enough power to fight him."That was
