In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

The Supreme Temple.

In some unknown space.

Almost the instant that aged will descended, Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly.

This will is vast and boundless, as majestic and awe-inspiring as the heavens.

All the supreme powerhouses he had ever seen were as vulnerable as mayflies in his presence.

"Is this the will of Heaven in this world?"

The thought had barely crossed Lu Yuan's mind when a sigh echoed in his head.

"The Dao of Heaven is dead. I am merely the one who holds power in its place. You may call me the Dao Ancestor."

This sigh carried an endless sense of vicissitude and weariness.

Followed by.

An old man dressed in hemp clothing, barefoot, with white hair and beard, appeared before Lu Yuan.

The old man's figure was ethereal, clearly formed from the laws of heaven and earth.

He had dark skin and a hunched back, and looked no different from an old farmer who toiled in the fields year-round.

Yet, his body was filled with boundless Daoist energy, and even a wisp of aura he casually emitted was as profound as the deep sea!

"Daozu?"

Lu Yuan was surprised and uncertain, as this was the first time he had heard this title.

And what does it mean that the Way of Heaven is dead?
The will of Heaven is the foundation upon which a world operates; if anything were to happen to Him...

This will inevitably lead to the extinction of the starry sky, the annihilation of all things, and the complete cessation of everything.

"I never imagined that after millions of years, I would still be able to meet a new imitator."

"But that makes sense. If you think about it, this world is probably coming to an end."

The old man sighed softly, his tone complex.

"Senior, how do you say this?"

Lu Yuan clasped his hands in a respectful greeting and asked in a humble voice.

"They're all just old, trivial matters."

"But since you've managed to get here, there might still be a glimmer of hope in this world."

The Dao Ancestor smiled.

Followed by.

From his account, Lu Yuan finally learned the whole story.

In the ancient times, the Xuan Realm was once extremely glorious.

There are myriad races coexisting, and hundreds of deities living together in the world.

But the good times didn't last long.

A supreme expert quickly discovered this.

The way of Heaven is to take from those who have too much and give to those who have too little; the way of man is to take from those who have too little and give to those who have too much.

Under the constraints of the natural order.

Even if their cultivation is extraordinary and they can destroy a star field with a single thought, their lifespan is only a few tens of thousands of years.

No matter how powerful or talented you are, in the end you will be nothing more than a handful of dust!
Several supreme beings, nearing the end of their lifespans, were unwilling to simply pass away. They decided to join forces to challenge the heavens, hoping to break free from the control of the Heavenly Dao and achieve immortality.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan, recalling the information the old man had previously revealed, had already guessed the outcome of this battle.

as predicted.

The Dao Ancestor's next words confirmed his guess.

"This battle was extremely fierce, lasting for tens of thousands of years, and finally ended with the destruction of the Heavenly Dao and the collapse of order."

"All races believe that human will can overcome nature. They believe that by losing the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, they can lead the Xuan Realm to another peak, but they did not expect that this would lead to a great mistake."

The Dao Ancestor closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

"They did succeed, miraculously defeating the Heavenly Dao under almost impossible circumstances."

"But immortality comes at a price."

"Birth, aging, sickness and death are natural laws, but the price of immortality is far greater than anyone expected."

Lu Yuan remained silent, unsurprised by this outcome.

Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs.

The correct meaning of this statement is that heaven and earth have no feelings and treat all things equally.

The will of Heaven is more like a machine, only acting according to rules and procedures.

But people have selfish desires.

Once the constraints of Heaven's will are removed, the evil in human nature will surely drag everyone into the abyss.

After all, resources are limited.

Every supreme being who wishes to extend their lifespan must consume a vast amount of resources.

This also means.

If you master more of the fundamental laws, I will live hundreds of years less.

Driven by the desire for immortality.

The once united alliance against the heavens instantly disintegrated and split.

In their struggle for resources, they were willing to turn against each other and kill one another.

This made the already devastated Xuanjie even more fragmented.

The infamous Myriad Transformations Immortal Body appeared during this period.

Because of this physique, one can plunder the bloodlines of all races for one's own use, even many ancient supreme beings are wary of it.

To make matters worse...

After some supreme beings were defeated, they were unwilling to simply wait to die. In their desperate situation, they actually spread the flames of war to other world planes.

I may not be able to defeat a supreme being of the same level, but I can plunder the resources and laws of other lower-level planes!

The Xuan Realm is a six-star fantasy world. Dealing with other lower-level worlds would be a piece of cake.

Originally bound by the laws of Heaven, they dared not cross this bottom line.

But now that the Way of Heaven is dead, who can stop them?
All of a sudden.

War broke out everywhere, and people suffered terribly.

Those ancient supreme beings frantically invaded other planes, incurring the wrath of heaven and the resentment of man, and were despised by all races.

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, sensing something was amiss.

Theoretically speaking.

It is virtually impossible for an ordinary cultivator to kill the will of Heaven.

But the myriad realms are vast and boundless.

Various geniuses and prodigies emerge one after another; if they were to transcend to the extreme, they might not be unable to achieve this as well.

However, the Heavenly Dao of each realm is equivalent to the spokesperson of the will of all the heavens.

When the will of the Heavenly Dao unexpectedly perishes, it will inevitably attract the attention of all the wills of the heavens immediately.

However, the Heavenly Dao of this realm was destroyed by the combined forces of the Primordial Supreme Beings, yet the will of all the heavens did not react in any way.

this means.

There must be someone secretly manipulating all of this.

After tasting the sweetness, those ancient supreme beings became even more insane and actually began to sacrifice living beings with blood!
When the flames of war spread to all parts of the Xuan Realm, even many ancient clans that had retreated from the world could not escape the calamity.

The Primordial True Dragon, the Undying True Phoenix, and other supreme beings decided to join forces to stop it all.

After all, everyone has their own ambitions, and not every supreme being is obsessed with immortality.

However, many ancient supreme beings have gone mad, and they have not hesitated to let wolves into their homes, completely degenerating into dark creatures!

This was the darkest period in the Xuan Realm.

Until a prodigy was born to take charge of the Heavenly Dao.

He single-handedly suppressed all the venerable ones and wiped out all the evil spirits.

This finally allowed the Xuan Realm, which was on the verge of collapse, to barely regain its normal order.

Lu Yuan knew it without even thinking.

The peerless genius who saved the entire Xuan Realm was clearly the unassuming old man before them.

However, unlike other supreme beings, he was not obsessed with immortality.

Instead, it is about restoring order and repairing the laws of nature.

They also established a boundary to keep dark creatures out of the starry sky.

Then he built the Supreme Temple, leaving behind an immortal lineage for future generations.

"The senior's righteousness is admirable."

Lu Yuan expressed his sincere admiration.

"There are no saviors who can turn the tide; it's all just the will of Heaven."

The Dao Ancestor smiled and said meaningfully.

"Senior, you're also from..."

A thought suddenly occurred to Lu Yuan.

The old man did not give a direct answer to Lu Yuan's question. "Alright, my life force is exhausted, and I can't hold on much longer."

"The safety and survival of this world depend on you alone. I hope you can accomplish what I was unable to do back then."

The voice just fell.

The old man in hemp clothing became increasingly ethereal, gradually disappearing into the air.

However, before leaving, he explained the assessment criteria to Lu Yuan again.

The assessment rules are very simple.

The Supreme Temple was built to hone the combat power of prodigies and cultivate the supreme beings of the world.

This place is a world unto itself, where dark creatures can be simulated as opponents for the trial participants.

Each time you kill a dark creature, you will obtain a large amount of resources and precious medicines, and you will also double the time flow here!
Lu Yuan stood there, recalling the old man's words, and felt a sense of enlightenment.

Judging from the information revealed by the Taoist patriarch.

Clearly, he is either a simulator of the main world or a native prodigy discovered by the will of the heavens from the Xuan Realm.

The figure before us is probably just a dharma body he left behind in the Xuan Realm.

After the old man's figure disappeared.

"Shh!"

Within the vast trial space.

A vast amount of heaven and earth power converged and formed a dark creature in front of Lu Yuan.

It was a half-demon with a tiger's head and a human body.

Its eyes were bloodshot, its face was ferocious, and its mouth was dripping with foul-smelling saliva.

Its body was like a small mountain, and its massive muscles rose high like rocks.

In its hand, it also carried a battle sword.

Just appeared.

A thick black aura then spread outwards from him in all directions.

This black aura is extremely strange, as if it has its own consciousness. It is ubiquitous and can corrode everything!
Although this demon is at the perfected Yin-Yang Realm, in terms of true combat strength, he is probably no less than the top 100 geniuses!

"Roar!"

The tiger demon opened its blood-red maw, let out a roar, and cleaved down at Lu Yuan's head.

"boom!"

But Lu Yuan didn't even glance at it.

He raised his hand and threw a punch.

With sheer physical strength, he blasted it into a bloody pulp from a distance.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Heavenly Ant bloodline, representing the ultimate power in the world.

With every gesture, they can unleash unparalleled power!

next moment.

A ball of light descended from the sky and floated silently in front of Lu Yuan.

Inside the ball of light was a golden pill the size of a longan.

The surface of the elixir has nine black and white patterns, which seem to represent the yin and yang of Tai Chi, and also symbolize the cycle of life and death.

Lu Yuan only needed to smell a wisp of elixir fragrance to feel that he had gained a deeper understanding of the laws of life and death.

And this was none other than the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Pill!

"As expected of the Supreme Temple, they are indeed generous."

Lu Yuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

The Nine-Turn Reincarnation Pill is extremely precious, as it allows one to comprehend the true meaning of life and death within the cycle of reincarnation.

This is an unparalleled treasure that even experts at the Life and Death Realm dream of possessing.

If it were released to the outside world, even a single one could fetch an astronomical price.

However, this was just for killing a tiger demon, and he was directly rewarded with a Nine-Turn Reincarnation Pill.

And how generous will the rewards be?
Not only that.

After Lu Yuan killed the tiger demon.

An unseen law descended, doubling the flow of time in this space!
What Lu Yuan lacks most right now is time!

"If I can kill enough dark creatures, wouldn't that mean I can speed up the flow of time here by a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times compared to the outside world?"

"Spending a day here is equivalent to a year of arduous training in the outside world."

"No wonder the Supreme Temple is regarded by everyone as the supreme place for proving the Dao; it is simply too heaven-defying."

Lu Yuan clicked his tongue in amazement.

"There's no need to rush to take this pill. It's not too late to break through to the Life and Death Realm once you've accumulated enough resources."

After a moment's thought, Lu Yuan put away the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Pill.

Next.

He continued to begin the trials.

The second dark creature was instantly annihilated as soon as it appeared!

He swept through the enemy lines with unstoppable momentum, easily killing hundreds of dark creatures with almost no effort.

After accumulating a large amount of resources.

Lu Yuan then pressed on with his energy, and as if it were a natural progression, directly stepped into the realm of life and death!

"boom!"

Almost at the moment of breakthrough.

Lu Yuan's spiritual power surged, and his soul grew rapidly, transforming from ethereal to tangible, becoming as solid as a physical entity!

His abundant blood and energy surged like a mighty river through his meridians, making a rushing sound, sweeping away all his hidden ailments and old injuries.

When Lu Yuan looked up and around, he felt that the whole world had changed.

Previously, he could only see the flow of spiritual energy and vaguely grasp the general trend of heaven and earth and the operating rules of the laws.

So now.

He observes the heavens and the earth, and can clearly see how all laws operate and their patterns.

The boundary between life and death is no longer blurred, but has become exceptionally clear.

in a moment.

He can then transform yin and yang, and control life and death!

Not only that.

He can make stones speak, giving life to a stubborn rock, or he can instantly take away the essence of all flowers, plants, and trees.

If one cultivates the laws of life and death to their ultimate level, it is even possible to enable the dead to be reborn and freed from the suffering of reincarnation!

"In the battle against the heavens, it seemed that the ancient supreme beings had won, but the price was that the laws of this world were weakened considerably."

Lu Yuan frowned slightly.

After breaking through the Life and Death Realm, he suddenly realized that the Xuan Realm was far weaker than he had imagined.

The will of Heaven is closely related to all living beings in this world; their fortunes are intertwined, and their losses are shared.

At the peak of the Xuan Realm, the Primordial Supreme only had a lifespan of tens of thousands of years.

However, they are blessed with the complete laws of heaven and earth, and their combat power far surpasses that of the supreme beings of the world.

When the Heavenly Dao falls, the Supreme Being's strength will also decline.

The laws of this world are shattered, and although those ancient supreme beings could use various means to extend their lifespan to hundreds of thousands of years.

However, their strength is less than one percent of their peak.

And then came the battle.

This made Lu Yuan realize just how vast the gap was between the combat power of cultivators in the ancient times and that of the present world.

If we say that when Lu Yuan was in the Yin-Yang Realm, he could easily defeat all dark creatures with the bloodline of the Heavenly Ant, then...

When they reached the level of life and death, the trial space began to simulate opponents of the same level for Lu Yuan according to the standards of ancient combat power.

It made him feel extremely difficult to move forward.

Although both are at the Life and Death Realm, the combat power of the dark creatures opposite them is already comparable to that of Lu Yuan!

Moreover, the difficulty of the trials increases.

The power of those dark creatures grew stronger and stronger, and they were even able to suppress Lu Yuan!
"boom!"

Lu Yuan was caught off guard and struck in the chest by a humanoid dark creature, his body flying backward instantly.

"Well done!"

But instead of being angry, he was delighted and charged forward again, fighting alongside the dark creatures.

Because the Heavenly Ant becomes stronger when faced with a stronger opponent.

Only by fighting against a sufficiently powerful opponent can the full potential of the Celestial Ant bloodline be unleashed!

to the end.

Resources in the trial space are piling up like mountains, and the flow of time has accelerated hundreds of times.

Lu Yuan had lost count of how many dark creatures he had killed, but his aura was rapidly increasing, becoming more than ten times stronger than before! (End of Chapter)
