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

"boom!"

The moment that innate mark condensed.

The entire Great Wilderness was filled with deafening roars, and the weather was changing drastically.

Somewhere.

All living beings in the Great Wilderness, whether human cultivators, ancient exotic species, or birds and beasts.

A thought simultaneously surfaced in their minds.

This land has changed hands!
Lu Yuan had previously only used a single sword to cleave the heavens, reenacting the laws of heaven and earth with an imperial weapon.

but now.

He was acting on behalf of Heaven, expressing his own will.

He intends to replace the Heavenly Dao and turn the Great Wilderness World into his future place of enlightenment.

This way.

All creatures of the Great Wilderness will also face a choice.

Whether or not to voluntarily relinquish a wisp of one's true spirit, to accept Lu Yuan as one's destiny, and to forge a foundation for the Heavenly God Dao for him.

If they hand it over.

From this day forward, I will be bound to Lu Yuan.

One glory and one glory.

Lu Yuanxing.

If one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven.

Lu Yuan was defeated.

If one person perishes, the entire clan will perish with him.

If you don't hand it over.

They can continue to live normally in this world without being implicated in anything; they will just miss this opportunity.

"Is the Heavenly Lord about to step into the realm of the Heavenly Gods?"

Yu Xiong and the others were shocked.

You must know that these powerful figures of the Great Wilderness have spent their entire lives cultivating before they have barely reached the threshold of the Divine Fire Realm.

But Lu Yuan has only been cultivating for a short time, yet he has already advanced to the level of a Celestial God?

The Imperial Tutor looked up in the direction of Lu Yuan, tears streaming down his face, his voice trembling slightly.

"As expected of all, he wields the mandate of heaven; this is the true powerhouse of the Celestial God Realm!"

"To control destiny?"

Hear his words.

Yu Xiong and the others were completely bewildered, feeling both confused and impressed.

According to their understanding, a Celestial God-level expert can condense a Celestial Heart Mark, making them stronger than those in the Divine Fire Realm in terms of both combat power and authority over laws.

But what exactly is this so-called "controlling destiny"? Why have they never heard of it before?
"Our human race has many secrets, so it's normal that you don't know some things."

"You've probably heard that if a Divine Fire Realm expert wants to advance further, they must entrust their Divine Fire to the Heavenly Dao in order to condense the Heavenly Heart Imprint."

"But once you do that, you will be subject to the will of Heaven and have no freedom left. No matter how strong you are, you will only be a false god."

The Imperial Tutor spoke in a complex tone.

"But there are also exceptionally talented geniuses who are unwilling to be second to anyone and have forged a second path with great perseverance."

"Forge the power of countless laws and authority, and bring the might of heaven and earth back to yourself, thereby condensing the mark of destiny!"

The Imperial Tutor said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, everyone was horrified, finally understanding the difference between a false god and a true god.

False gods, subject to the will of Heaven.

But true gods are not subject to the control of the Heavenly Way; from then on, their fate is in their own hands, not in the hands of Heaven.

Given time, it may even be able to replace the Way of Heaven.

To do this is my destiny!
The second path is easier said than done.

After all, how could the Way of Heaven be so easily dealt with?
Even a supreme being as powerful as the Golden Crow Demon Emperor ultimately fell short by a single move and had to perish in the Heavenly Tribulation of Proving the Dao with resentment.

For a mere celestial being to think of breaking free from the control of the Heavenly Way is nothing short of a fool's dream.

Looking at the gods in the heavens and the three thousand realms below.

The number of exceptionally talented young geniuses is countless, like carp crossing a river.

Throughout history, only a handful of people have been able to condense the mark of destiny.

Lu Yuan is now taking the second path.

With the true spirits of all living beings, I forge the foundation of my divine path!

"If it weren't for the Heavenly Lord, we would probably have died at the hands of the Celestial Gods long ago, and there would be no way we would be alive now."

"Now that His Majesty the Emperor is to assume the Mandate of Heaven, our Yu clan will surely follow him to the death!"

Without hesitation, Yu Xiong handed over his natal spirit.

Seeing this, the other clan leaders were so angry that they cursed the old fox in their hearts and rushed to hand over their life essence.

Since the war in the Great Kingdom.

The trust and worship that all the Qi cultivators of the Great Wilderness have for Lu Yuan has reached an overwhelming and fanatical level.

All it takes is a word from Lu Yuan.

They would not hesitate to give everything, even their own lives.

What is a mere wisp of one's natal spirit?
Moreover, the relationship between the Great Wilderness Human Race and the Celestial God Race is one of irreconcilable conflict, with no possibility of reconciliation.

As long as the Heavenly Dao remains, the Great Wilderness Human Race will never have a chance to rise again.

But if they followed Lu Yuan, at least they would still have a chance to get some benefits.

at this moment.

Hundreds of millions of humans in the Great Wilderness unanimously surrendered their life essence.

of course.

Another group of Ōtei citizens hesitated repeatedly before ultimately choosing to abandon this idea.

Through hundreds of thousands of years of relentless selection and domestication by the royal family of the Great Court.

The power of the Celestial Gods has long been deeply ingrained in the hearts of all the people of the Great Court.

In their view.

Lu Yuan is indeed very strong; he could even single-handedly destroy the royal family of the Great Court.

But no matter how powerful an individual is, how can they defy the vast will of Heaven?
Faced with the omnipotent will of Heaven, Lu Yuan ultimately appeared far too insignificant.

Besides.

Mountains have their own spirit, and water has its own spirit.

Not only humans possess true spirit, but all other things in the world also possess spirituality.

Moreover, as early as when Lu Yuan severed the connection between heaven and earth and used the imperial weapon to reenact the laws of heaven and earth, he had already become the master of this world.

It didn't take long.

Every mountain peak, every flower and grass, every river had sparkling points of light shooting into the sky, converging with the true spirits of humanity.

to the end.

All the natal spirits formed a magnificent river of light, stretching for thousands of miles, spanning the sky and converging towards Lu Yuan.

In fact, a truly strong person can bring immense power into their own being, without needing to rely on the strength of others.

With Lu Yuan's current strength and realm, he can condense the Heavenly Mandate Mark without needing the true spirits of all living beings.

But if he had these true spirits of all living beings, it would undoubtedly save him a lot of time.

"Congeal!"

Lu Yuan unleashed his divine power, gulping down all the dazzling light and rain in an instant, just like a whale drinking water.

The mark of destiny between his eyebrows became increasingly clear.

An earth-shaking divine pressure emanated from him, spreading outwards in all directions and enveloping the entire Great Wilderness World.

My way is the way of Heaven, my destiny is the destiny of Heaven!
It can be said.

Only at this point did Lu Yuan truly replace the Heavenly Dao in this realm.

Unless the Heavenly Dao can eliminate Lu Yuan, there will be no future.

Otherwise, even if the Great Wilderness World reopens the passage between the two worlds, it will no longer be subject to the control and interference of the heavens.

at the same time.

Information about all living beings in the Great Wilderness World flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.

This information flow was so vast that it encompassed the actions of all living beings, including their past, present, and future, enough to instantly overwhelm the soul of a Celestial God Realm expert.

If it were any other powerful Ancestral God, they would likely bleed from all seven orifices and suffer severe damage to their soul.

Destruction is always easier than creation. A powerful ancestral god can destroy a world, but that doesn't mean he can replace the Heavenly Dao and govern all living beings.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan had experienced many reincarnations and had prior experience in governing the Heavenly Dao.

He adapted to it all with ease, almost without spending any time.

"Is this the mark of destiny?"

After careful contemplation, Lu Yuan gained a deeper understanding of this realm.

If the Heavenly Heart Mark merely increases the power and authority of the Heavenly Gods.

The Mark of Destiny, then, is independent of the Heavenly Way, and it brings the power of all living beings to itself.

But two tigers cannot share one mountain.

Why would the will of Heaven distribute its power to others for no reason?
If someone wants to gather the mark of destiny, it is as if they are cutting flesh off His body!

This is why Lu Yuan previously severed the connection between heaven and earth, weakening the power of the Heavenly Dao in this realm to the extreme.

Furthermore, he has already transformed into an innate Dao body, which even the Heavenly Dao cannot do anything about, thus enabling him to successfully condense the Heavenly Mandate Mark.

"Next, I will integrate the authority of the laws into myself and forge the body of a celestial being."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

Blacksmith need its own hardware.

The more powerful the laws and authority wielded by a celestial being, the more stringent the requirements for their physical body.

If one's physical fitness is inadequate, the more laws and authority one possesses, the more severe the backlash will be.

Therefore, tempering the body with divine fire is an essential step for all Heavenly God Realm experts.

This step is extremely dangerous.

Many cultivators were burned to ashes because their physical bodies were not strong and their foundations were not stable.

However, Lu Yuan's Daoist techniques were perfected, and he had already condensed an innate Dao body, which was more powerful than the so-called body of a god.

He can skip this step.

This opportunity can also be used to further revive the innate Dao body.

"Hoohoo!"

Lu Yuan mobilized his divine power, causing his natal divine fire to surge violently.

A fist-sized ball of his natal divine fire burst forth from his body, instantly turning this small world into a sea of ​​fire.

The divine fire burned fiercely, its terrifying temperature capable of melting gold and iron, even burning holes in the void itself.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged in the sea of ​​fire, his whole body covered in flames, silently enduring the scorching heat of his natal divine fire, suffering unspeakable pain.

Until this moment.

He finally understood the feelings of the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals when he was refining the Myriad Gods Pill.

In particular, countless traces of laws and principles appeared on Lu Yuan's body surface, causing his natal divine fire to undergo a transformation and burn even more fiercely.

This is the Dao Fire of the Laws!

Divine fire burns my body, forging the foundation of my Dao!
Using countless laws as fuel and one's own body as a furnace, one forges a flawless Dao body!

However, this transformation process will be very long.

Lu Yuan was not in a hurry, but instead quietly immersed himself in cultivation.

Time flies, years pass.

Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over these twenty years.

Lu Yuan was constantly being tempered by the Dao Fire of the Laws.

His physical body thus became flawless and immaculate, and no matter how the laws and fires burned it, it did not leave any trace.

His aura was extraordinary and sacred, and the divine power within him had become more profound and condensed, more than ten times stronger than before.

Furthermore, his cultivation level is rapidly improving at an astonishing pace.

Middle stage of God Realm!
Late stage of the Celestial God Realm!
Celestial God Realm Perfection!
In just twenty years, his strength skyrocketed, reaching a height that many celestial beings could never reach in their entire lives!

As the raging fire gradually died down, everything returned to calm.

Lu Yuan's entire body radiated a restrained divine light, giving people a sense of having washed away all artifice and returned to simplicity.

Compared to his previous majestic image of divine power and supreme holiness, this is a far cry from his previous image.

He looked no different from an ordinary person.

He probably has a more striking appearance than any other Qi Refiner at the Dharma Aspect Realm.

But only Lu Yuan himself knew just how terrifying his current strength had become.

If he were to encounter the Great Brahma God King and others again, he wouldn't need to sever the passage between the two realms now.

He could easily suppress 400,000 heavenly soldiers and generals with his own strength!
"This time, I consumed too much energy to condense the Heavenly Mandate Mark, so much so that even the Myriad Gods Pill could only barely allow me to reach the Perfect Heavenly God realm."

Lu Yuan said helplessly.

Under normal circumstances.

One Myriad Gods Pill is enough to allow a mortal to directly step into the Ancestral God realm.

However, the mark of destiny is extraordinary, and the energy it consumes is also an astronomical figure.

In fact.

The mark of destiny also represents a glimmer of opportunity to become an emperor.

If other deities had the opportunity to condense the mark of destiny, they would be willing to pay any price for it.

They would not hesitate to sacrifice even 500,000 or 1 million heavenly soldiers, let alone 100,000.

After all, there are billions of gods in the heavens.

Throughout history, the number of Heavenly Emperors who have ever been born in the entire barbaric world is no more than ten.

He used 100,000 heavenly soldiers to exchange for a chance to become emperor.

It's an absolute steal!
Moreover, one's level of attainment does not represent everything.

Although Lu Yuan did not reach the Ancestral God Realm this time, his combat power was stronger than that of many Ancestral God experts.

"Most importantly, I took this opportunity to condense the rudimentary form of the Dao Seed in one fell swoop."

Thinking of the tremendous gains from this cultivation, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile.

He looked inward at himself.

They discovered that the divine fire of law in their dantian and the mark of destiny between their eyebrows had also disappeared.

Instead, a strange Dao Seed was created!
This seed was only the size of a bean and somewhat illusory.

It hovered within Lu Yuan's dantian, emanating a sacred aura that was eternal, immortal, and indestructible.

It seems that one can transcend this world and rise above the Heavenly Dao!

and this.

It is the natal Dao Seed of an Ancestral God, representing the Dao and Law of one's entire life, and is the manifestation of the authority of the Law!
The great way is like water.

The incomplete power of the laws that ordinary Qi Refiners at the Divine Fire Realm possess are like a pond, unable to exert much power.

Although the Heavenly God Realm experts have condensed the Heavenly Heart Mark, the authority over the laws they wield is merely a lake.

Perhaps for ordinary cultivators in the lower realms, they are already an unattainable supreme being.

But for a powerful ancestral god, it's nothing at all.

However, if they reach the level of Ancestral God, the laws and authority they wield will undergo a qualitative change.

Because they have already taken control of a complete set of laws and will become the source of all streams and rivers, large and small, throughout the world!
Without the permission of the ancestral god.

Then all Qi cultivators who practice this law, whether they are at the Divine Fire Realm or the Heavenly God Realm, will be stripped of all their authority.

Just like a pond that will eventually dry up if it doesn't receive a constant flow of fresh water.

Even the most powerful celestial beings are like water without a source; they can only act according to the whims of others.

However weak a powerful Ancestral God is, he himself is the source, and for Qi Refiners who cultivate the same law, it is definitely a dimensional reduction attack.

Just like from ancient times to the present.

No Fire God has ever fought beyond their level and defeated the Fire Ancestral God.

Unless a certain ancestral god is severely injured and his strength is greatly reduced.

Only then could a powerful celestial being who cultivates other laws take advantage of the situation and seize the authority over those laws.

For example, the Fire Ancestor God's vital energy and blood were depleted, and he was about to pass away.

Only then could one be defeated by a Water God at the peak of his power.

But under normal circumstances.

Only those of equal strength are qualified to fight against the Ancestral God.

For a Celestial God to fight a battle beyond their level and defeat an Ancestral God is almost impossible; it's harder than climbing to heaven.

Looking across the entire heavens, very few could achieve this! (End of Chapter)
