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

Boundary.

This place is called a pass, but it is actually an unprecedentedly large ancient city in the starry sky.

Its area is vast and its territory is expansive.

The thick city wall stretches endlessly, its length unknown, seemingly without end.

Seen from afar.

Just like a colossal ancient dragon lying horizontally in the void, it is extremely visually striking.

On the surface of the thick city wall, every brick and stone is imprinted with mysterious patterns.

These patterns intertwine and combine to form powerful ancient magic arrays.

Once fully recovered.

Its power is so terrifying that it can even kill a supreme being!

The buildings within Jieguan City appear relatively simple, and having endured numerous wars, their surfaces are covered with knife and sword marks, conveying a sense of heaviness accumulated over the years.

Besides.

Millions of cultivators at the Upper Three Realms also live within the city.

They exuded a powerful aura, their gazes sharp as knives.

Their strides were powerful and aggressive, exuding a fierce and ruthless aura, clearly indicating that they were all seasoned veterans.

"When traveling, keep things simple. Please don't take offense, Venerable Lu."

Led by the patriarch of the Samsara Sect, Lu Yuan arrived at a simple mansion.

"It's alright, senior, you flatter me."

He has always been indifferent to these external pleasures.

"Senior, you have guarded the border for many years. Do you know anything about Uncle Long Zhan?"

Lu Yuan cut to the chase and immediately asked.

“Lord Lu, you are unaware of this. At the time, I was on leave and knew very little about this matter.”

The patriarch of the Samsara Sect sighed.

The battlefield in the stars is a place where one is almost certain to die.

Everyone is in a state of constant tension. If they stayed here for hundreds of years, even a supreme expert would not be able to endure it.

Therefore, the border post is rotated every so often.

The last battle at Jieguan happened suddenly and ended quickly.

When he arrived at the Star Battlefield at the first opportunity.

The True Phoenix Ancestor had already perished, and Long Zhan was also seriously injured and fled, his whereabouts unknown.

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

Long Zhan was not only his father-in-law, but also someone who had always taken good care of him.

If anything were to happen to him, Liu Mingyan would surely be heartbroken.

After a while.

The patriarch of the Samsara Sect seemed to remember something and hurriedly spoke.

"Although I did not participate in that battle, according to the information I later gathered, Dragon War Supreme was besieged by two Dark Supremes at the time."

"When there was no other way out, he was forced to tear through the void and enter a certain ancient forbidden area."

"Ancient Forbidden Land?"

Lu Yuan's expression changed drastically.

In the ancient war against the heavens, the ancient supreme beings achieved victory with great difficulty.

But before its death, Heaven harbored resentment and sought to unleash a calamity to annihilate all the deities.

Although the deities used various means to evade the Heavenly Dao's dying counterattack, many places still suffered as a result.

These places are incomplete in their laws, retain resentment from the heavens, and are rife with terrible disasters and dangers.

Therefore, it was regarded as an ancient forbidden land by the world, and even supreme powerhouses dared not set foot there rashly.

If Long Zhan really did stumble into an ancient forbidden area, there might still be a sliver of hope that he could survive.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan asked about another matter.

"By the way, senior, you have lived for a very long time. I wonder how much you know about the Dao Ancestor?"

"To be honest, the origin of the Dao Ancestor is mysterious, and even all the ancient supreme beings know very little about him."

The patriarch of the Samsara Sect gave a bitter smile.

As an ancient supreme being who survived from the Primordial Era, he personally witnessed the Dao Ancestor establish the Supreme Divine Palace, build the Boundary Gate, and quell the Dark Turmoil with his own power.

But even he knew nothing about the Dao Ancestor.

"However, some people have speculated that he may be related to the ancient people."

The patriarch of the Samsara Sect hesitated for a moment before speaking again.

"Ancient descendants?"

Lu Yuan's expression shifted slightly; it was the first time he had heard this title.

The Way of Heaven is dead; hasn't the ancient era already come to an end?
The remaining Primordial Supremes are the last remaining survivors.

Lu Yuan originally thought that Dao Ancestor was a simulator from the main world.

Unexpectedly, the patriarch of the Samsara Sect offered another possibility.

"Although the Primordial Forbidden Land is a place where one is almost certain to die, there are still many ancient creatures with tenacious vitality who have miraculously survived inside."

"They live in seclusion and never have contact with the outside world, so they are also known as the ancient people."

"If you, Venerable Lu, wish to inquire about the origins of the Dao Ancestor, perhaps you could venture into the forbidden area."

The patriarch of the Samsara Sect explained in detail.

The ancient forbidden land contains a large amount of resentment from the Heavenly Dao, which will indiscriminately reject and attack all supreme powerhouses.

However, Lu Yuan's combat prowess is unparalleled; he is a peerless celestial being who has shaken the ages.

With his strength, entering the ancient forbidden area would be quite easy for him.

"Thank you, senior."

Lu Yuan nodded.

He then left behind a Dharma body to guard the border for him.

He himself soared into the sky, transforming into a golden rainbow, and instantly left the star battlefield.

Mysterious world.

Frontier regions.

A golden streak swiftly traversed the starry sky, its speed surpassing even the speed of light, surpassing even the divine beast Kunpeng.

Almost instantly, he was able to traverse multiple star regions, and in less than half an hour, Lu Yuan had made a round trip through the Xuan Realm.

According to the patriarch of the Samsara Sect, there are five ancient forbidden areas in the Xuan Realm.

Lu Yuan didn't know exactly where Long Zhan had wandered into, so he could only search for him one by one.

It didn't take long.

A forbidden area appeared before Lu Yuan's eyes.

The laws of this place are broken, and order has collapsed.

Only a terrifying void storm swept across the heavens and earth, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, completely isolating the outside world.

When cultivators attempt to brave the raging storm and force their way into the forbidden area, they will find themselves affected by a certain force.

As a result, all magical power was lost, and the true spirit was forever silenced.

In an instant, he went from an unparalleled powerhouse who could destroy stars with a flick of his finger to a mere mortal with no strength to even kill a chicken!

If a supreme powerhouse who has mastered the laws of heaven and earth is like a fish in water in the Xuan Realm, then he is like a favorite of the heavens.

So now they are in this forbidden land, just like aquatic creatures that have been dehydrated and come ashore.

Not only did they face an unprecedented sense of powerlessness, but they also had to struggle to cross the endless desert with their dwindling strength.

This land, in particular, seems to have been cursed by the heavens, filled with omnipresent malice.

Once any living being steps into it, it will be suppressed and attacked by the entire world!
"This place contains many remnants of the Heavenly Dao, no wonder even the Primordial Supremes found it difficult to set foot here."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

Fortunately, he possessed unparalleled physical strength, and even under the influence of the lingering resentment of the Heavenly Dao, he was able to safely weather this void storm.

However, as he approached the ancient forbidden area, he suddenly discovered...

The seemingly terrifying, towering storm ahead suddenly parted to make way for him!
Wasn't it said that this world would indiscriminately attack all supreme beings?

But all the lingering resentment of the Heavenly Dao and the storm of laws were useless in front of Lu Yuan.

"Could it be because I have mastered the ancient laws?"

Lu Yuan was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

If what the patriarch of the Samsara Sect said is true, then the Dao Ancestor was indeed a descendant of the ancient times.

Therefore, the ancient laws of the Supreme Temple should originate from the same source as the ancient forbidden land, which explains this inconceivable scene.

When he finally arrived on this land after overcoming numerous storms, he felt no discomfort, but rather a sense of peace, like a dragon returning to the sea.

Lu Yuan looked up.

It was not the perilous and desolate scene I had imagined.

This place is blessed with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and is imbued with spiritual energy.

Rare and exotic animals that have disappeared for a long time stroll leisurely through the forest, making it look like a paradise on earth!
"Is this the Forbidden Land of the Primordial Era?"

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu Yuan wouldn't have believed that the so-called forbidden area looked like this.

This is not a land abandoned by heaven; it is clearly a pure land.

The so-called lingering resentment of the Heavenly Dao is less of a curse and more of a unique form of protection for this place!
As Lu Yuan looked at everything before him, a sense of understanding gradually rose in his heart.

The way of heaven is unkind and regards all things as stupid dogs.

From a certain perspective, the will of Heaven is more like a program without emotions.

Even if He were killed by the gods, He would still faithfully fulfill His mission until His last breath.

Before death.

Knowing that He was powerless to reverse the tide, He used His last strength to create several ancient forbidden lands, allowing some living beings to be spared the ravages of war.

"The will of this world is indeed a competent Heavenly Dao, but the human heart is unpredictable, and even the Heavenly Dao is sometimes powerless."

Lu Yuan shook his head.

If the ancient Hundred Venerables had not been insatiably greedy and relentlessly pursued immortality, how could such a great calamity have been caused?
"Outsiders?"

As soon as Lu Yuan set foot on this land, an old voice rang in his ears.

Then an elderly man with white hair walked out of the void.

However, when he looked at Lu Yuan, his eyes were filled with hostility and distrust.

The old man's clothes were strange and ancient, not belonging to this era.

The language he used was also quite different from the common language of the Xuan Realm.

Fortunately, supreme experts communicate using divine sense, so even if they speak different languages, they can clearly understand what the other person wants to understand.

"Junior Lu Yuan greets Senior."

"I apologize for my unannounced visit, senior."

Lu Yuan bowed solemnly.

"You should leave. This is not a place for traitors like you."

The old man was very impolite and directly told them to leave.

"Dark turmoil is imminent. Does the senior know anything about the Dao Ancestor?"

Upon seeing this, Lu Yuan immediately asked.

"Daozu?"

Upon hearing those two words, the old man's expression softened somewhat, but his eyes remained filled with wariness and distrust.

"It seems you have inherited his teachings and methods, which is why you were able to set foot in the Pure Land."

"However, you are a descendant of those traitors, with the blood of sinners flowing in your veins, so please leave!"

The old man was very stubborn and remained unmoved no matter how Lu Yuan tried to persuade him.

"Senior, the Dark Alien Clan is coming with overwhelming force, intending to wipe out everyone. I'm afraid neither of us will be able to escape unscathed."

Lu Yuan advised again.

"When darkness finally comes and the heavens fall, we will emerge and fight to the death with all our might."

"But before that, you are not qualified to set foot here!"

"If you don't leave, don't blame me for taking action!"

The old man in white shouted angrily.

His divine power was accumulating within him, ready to be unleashed at the slightest provocation.

Lu Yuan stared at him intently for a while, but ultimately gave up his plan to take action.

The old man in front of him was only at the Ancient Supreme Realm; to Lu Yuan, he could be crushed with one hand.

But no matter what, he was still a member of the Dao Ancestor's clan, and there was no need to kill him over such a trivial matter.

Moreover, he could see that the old man's hostility was directed at the Hundred Ancient Venerables, not at him.

"Since you insist, senior, then I will not disturb you any longer."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave when another voice called out to him.

"Young friend, please wait!"

"Elder Gu Mo is old-fashioned and has a fiery temper. Please forgive him, young friend."

Lu Yuan turned around and saw an old man with white hair wearing a black robe hurriedly chasing after him.

"Chief, those who are not of our clan will surely have different intentions."

"Moreover, for their own selfish gain, they disregard the safety of all living beings and even dare to harm the will of Heaven. They are not worthy of trust!"

Gu Mo said with dissatisfaction.

"Enough. This is a feud between us and the Hundred Ancient Venerables. It has nothing to do with future generations."

The old man in the black robe straightened his face and finally shut the other person up.

Followed by.

He looked at Lu Yuan again, his tone tinged with apology.

"Young friend, I am Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the ancient race."

"Since you have received the true teachings of the Dao Ancestor, you are destined to be with my ancient clan. If you don't mind, would you please come and have a chat?"

"Then I will disturb you."

Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to the stubborn and inflexible Gu Mo, the old man in black robes in front of him was clearly more reasonable.

Under Gu Yuan's leadership.

It didn't take long.

An ancient village came into Lu Yuan's view.

Compared to the magnificent border pass, this village appears extremely small and ordinary.

Most of the village buildings are built against the mountainside. Although they do not look very grand, they blend in with the surrounding environment.

It evokes a sense of harmony between humanity and nature, and the natural order.

The village has about a thousand households and still maintains the traditional customs of men farming and women weaving.

Work at sunrise, live in and rest.

They looked no different from ordinary villagers, but each of them possessed an incredibly strong aura.

Even a two-year-old toddler, still hungry and helpless, possesses innate primordial laws and can easily enter a state of harmony with nature.

With a flick of his arms, he can carry a mountain and run around everywhere!
As for the men who returned from hunting in the deep mountains, each of them exuded a terrifying aura, no weaker than the experts of the upper three realms.

The prey they carried on their shoulders were none other than powerful ancient alien species!

However, this is because they are not interested in worldly affairs.

These villagers are all simple-minded and kind-hearted people.

Compared to cultivators from the outside world, they had less of a fierce look in their eyes and more of a simple and honest one.

"Are these the remnants of the ancient times?"

Lu Yuan was filled with emotion.

Perhaps only in such a pristine, secluded place could a figure of extraordinary talent like the Dao Ancestor be nurtured.

The men in the village returned from hunting, but they didn't rush home.

Instead, they placed their prey in front of a broken stone tablet at the entrance of the village.

Then he knelt on one knee, put his hands together, and muttered something as if he were making an offering.

After the explanation by the clan chief of Guyuan.

Lu Yuan then understood.

They are offering sacrifices to Heaven, thanking the heavens for their protection and guidance!
"Heaven cherishes life; in the eyes of Heaven, all living beings are His children."

"Even if He is betrayed by His own children, He will protect us until the very last moment."

Gu Yuan said in a complicated tone.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan naturally understood that he was referring to the ancient war against the heavens.

Subsequently.

After the villagers finished their sacrificial rites.

Under Lu Yuan's questioning.

Gu Yuan remained silent for a moment before finally revealing the origins of the Dao Ancestor. (End of Chapter)
