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

"boom!"

When Lu Yuan activated his Divine Prison True Body and cleaved the long river of time with his blade.

The terrifying aura that Xuan Tianzun had been rapidly escalating abruptly stopped.

As if forcibly interrupted, it suddenly plummeted to the bottom of the valley.

Not only that.

His body was collapsing, his Dao seed was disintegrating, and even his soul was rapidly becoming illusory and transparent, as if it were about to disappear from this world.

"You can actually reverse time and cut through the past with your blade?"

"To be defeated by this move, I have no regrets in dying!"

Xuan Tianzun's body transformed into a dazzling rain of light, gradually dissipating into the world.

"But do you really think you've won?"

He stared at Lu Yuan, a strange smile suddenly appearing on his face.

On the verge of death.

Xuan Tianzun's mind raced through his memories, seeing his past and glimpses of his future!
And in the future he glimpsed.

The heavens are stained with blood, and all worlds are plunged into ruin.

Darkness rises from the depths of the abyss, and all will cease to exist.

Even an unparalleled being as powerful as the Qian Yuan Heavenly Emperor, despite his lifelong scheming and plotting, could only fall into oblivion and be swallowed by endless darkness.

At the end of endless darkness, a figure stood atop the abyss, coldly glancing up at Xuan Tianzun.

Just one glance.

It shattered his soul, and all his past was wiped out!

"I see……"

"Destiny! It's all destiny!"

"Even if you can slay all the gods of the heavens and become an emperor, so what?"

In the end, it's all just making wedding dresses for others.

Xuan Tianzun burst into laughter, hot tears streaming down his face.

Instead, his gaze toward Lu Yuan carried a hint of pity and sympathy.

It seemed to contrast with Lu Yuan's future tragic fate.

The fate of Xuan Tianzun, who perished as a result of his own demise, is not worth mentioning at all.

"boom!"

Xuan Tianzun's body exploded, turning into a rain of light that completely dissipated into the world.

at the same time.

Inside the Shangcang Dao Sect, a statue of the Celestial Venerable in an ancient palace has countless cracks appearing on its surface.

Just like a shattered porcelain doll, it suddenly broke apart and eventually vanished inch by inch, turning into dust!
Not only that.

In other hidden corners of the heavens, whether in the deepest rivers and seas, atop towering mountains, in ancient forests, or in secret realms beyond the borders, there are also statues of celestial beings that have crumbled and shattered.

These statues, large and small, number in the tens of thousands, each contain a trace of the immortal divine will of the Xuan Tianzun.

As long as one statue remains.

Even if the physical body is annihilated and the soul is dissipated, Xuan Tianzun can restore himself to his original state in an instant.

But now, all the statues of the Heavenly Venerables exploded at the same time, and all their divine senses were obliterated by Lu Yuan.

A dignified ancient celestial being perished with deep resentment!

The moment Xuan Tianzun fell.

The sky weeps blood, and the laws of nature lament.

Streaks of blood-red lightning, like giant pythons dancing wildly, ravaged the sky.

The Celestial Venerable has fallen, and all realms grieve!
at this moment.

All living beings, regardless of their location or level of cultivation, felt an overwhelming sense of sorrow and palpitations.

A magnificent Daoist chant, tinged with sorrow, resounded throughout the heavens and echoed across the three thousand lower realms.

It was as if they were mourning the passing of a supreme being!

"This is impossible! Why would the ancestral statue suddenly shatter?"

"Heaven and earth weep blood, and all living beings grieve. Could it be that our ancestor has been reborn?"

Upon seeing this, all the powerful figures from the Daoist sects were shocked and filled with fear and despair.

For the Taoist sect, Xuan Tianzun is the mainstay of the entire holy land.

If anything were to happen to him, the strength of the entire Taoist sect would plummet!
the other side.

The four members of the Burial Heaven Venerable, who had just returned to the Upper God Realm, seemed to have sensed something and turned to look down at the lower realm in unison.

"Xuantianzun has fallen?"

The Burial Celestial Venerable frowned, his unease growing stronger.

After all, no matter how weak Xuan Tianzun was, he was still a genuine Heavenly Venerable giant, and no one at the level of Ancestral God could contend with him.

But how much time has passed?
Xuan Tianzun was swiftly killed by Lu Yuan, his soul and spirit were completely destroyed, and there was no possibility of resurrection.
"This child carries great karma and great terror; he is indeed not so easy to deal with."

While feeling heavy-hearted, Zang Tianzun also secretly felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, he had keen spiritual senses and sensed the danger the moment Lu Yuan used his innate Dao body, allowing him to escape unscathed from the Great Wilderness World in time.

Otherwise, if they continue to stay in the Great Wilderness, they will probably end up like Xuan Tianzun sooner or later!

As for whether Xuan Tianzun lives or dies, what does that have to do with them?
As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will never die if he is a poor Taoist.

Moreover, with Xuan Tianzun dead, the resources and foundation left behind by the Daoist sect alone are enough to make them extremely wealthy.

"Xuantian Zun is kind-hearted and spared no effort to save us from a calamity with his own life."

"Having known him for a time, I should naturally offer some assistance to the Taoist sect."

"From this day forward, disciples of the Daoist school are disciples of my Chan school, and the rise and fall of the Daoist school is the rise and fall of my Chan school."

"Our Zen school vows to share the glory and the loss of the Taoist school!"

With a sorrowful expression, Shi Tianzun patted his chest and assured him.

Of the four Celestial Venerables present, which one wasn't a cunning and calculating individual?

It is undoubtedly a pipe dream for the Celestial Venerable to think that Taoism and Zen Buddhism could be merged with just a few words.

……

Just as the various celestial beings were fiercely arguing over the legacy of Taoism.

When Lu Yuan thought of the pity in Xuan Tianzun's eyes as he looked at him before his death, a gloomy feeling settled over him that lingered for a long time.

The conflict between him and Xuan Tianzun was irreconcilable, with no room for reconciliation.

But what exactly did Xuan Tianzun see that made him put aside all hatred and instead sympathize with Lu Yuan, his mortal enemy?
"Is it because of the Qian Yuan Heavenly Emperor? Or is it related to the innate gods and demons? Or perhaps the Xuan Tian Venerable saw an even more terrifying being in the future?"

Lu Yuan frowned.

The feeling of things being out of his control was unpleasant, and it also gave him a strong sense of unease.

The innate Dao Eye can reverse time and return to the past.

However, his current strength is too weak to predict the future or change the trajectory of his destiny.

However, his intuition told him that the innate gods and demons of the barbaric world were definitely not as simple as he imagined.

After all, even the Heavenly Emperor Qian Yuan could detect Lu Yuan's existence, so how could the Primordial Gods and Demons, as the rulers of the Wilderness World, be completely unaware of this?
The fact that Lu Yuan caused such a commotion, yet the innate gods and demons remained unmoved, suggests that they must be plotting something behind the scenes.

"Is their target me? Or is it the Scripture of the Divine Prisons of the Heavens that I possess?"

Lu Yuan pondered for a long time but still had no clue, so he could only put the matter aside for the time being.

Become stronger!

The only way is to become as strong as possible!
Only he has enough strength to deal with all risks and conspiracies!

"If I possessed the combat power of an eighth-order Primordial Emperor or a ninth-order Immortal Supreme, I could annihilate any being, whether it be the Heavenly Emperor or a Primordial God or Demon, with a single sword strike!" Lu Yuan clenched his fist, his desire for power growing ever stronger.

A powerful being like an eighth-order Primordial Emperor can manifest himself before others, reign as emperor in all realms, and is an unparalleled being who reigns over all heavens.

They once suppressed an era, and were ancient emperors who reigned over all the heavens and myriad worlds, traversing countless dimensions.

Before such an unparalleled emperor, even a powerful ruler like the Heavenly Emperor Qian Yuan is nothing more than a slightly stronger ant.

As for the ninth-tier immortals, they are forbidden beings that slumber deep within the river of time.

Immortal and indestructible, existing for eternity.

Even if the body disintegrates and the soul collapses.

But as long as someone calls out his true name, he will return from the long river of time and reappear before the world.

It can be said.

Such immortal beings, possessing endless lifespans, are already the most powerful existences standing at the very top of all the heavens and myriad realms.

Its strength is only second to a tenth-tier main god!

If Lu Yuan's guess is correct.

The innate gods and demons of the primordial world somehow managed to surpass the limits of this realm in combat power, barely reaching the half-step emperor realm, only half a step away from the eighth rank.

However, this half-step may seem like a small difference, but in reality it is like an insurmountable chasm that many powerful beings cannot cross even after a lifetime of effort!

"As long as the innate gods and demons do not reach the Emperor realm, I still have a sliver of hope to turn the tide."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and then looked at the wisp of innate purple energy.

Under normal circumstances.

After a Celestial Venerable falls, he will return to Heaven, and all the origins of the laws will be taken away by the Heavenly Dao.

However, the wisp of innate purple energy before us was condensed by Xuan Tianzun after exhausting his life's cultivation. It is an innate object, and even the Heavenly Dao cannot do anything about it for the time being.

"With Xuan Tianzun dead, this innate purple energy has naturally become ownerless, which is a boon for me."

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yuan sent the wisp of innate purple energy flying back and landing steadily in his hand.

After sensing it for a moment, he was overjoyed and a smile appeared on his face.

This item is the masterpiece of Xuan Tianzun, containing the entire origin and Daoist teachings of a Heavenly Venerable.

This wisp of innate purple energy alone is more powerful than a million heavenly soldiers and generals!
If he can refine it, his strength will definitely surge again, reaching an unimaginable level.

By the time.

His innate Dao body will definitely reach another level, and he may even be able to foresee the future!

Think of this.

Lu Yuan dispersed his true form from the Divine Prison, put away the Reincarnation Divine Prison, and returned to the Great Wilderness World.

All the powerful figures of the Great Wilderness knelt on one knee as Lu Yuan returned from the battlefield outside the domain, and said respectfully.

"We pay our respects to the Heavenly Emperor!"

Their gazes toward Lu Yuan were filled with reverence and fervor, as if a group of devout believers had seen the god they worshipped!
Originally, only those who attained enlightenment and became emperors were qualified to be called Heavenly Emperors.

But Lu Yuan single-handedly defeated a million heavenly soldiers.

In front of billions of living beings, he forcefully killed a Celestial Venerable!
What else could this be but the Heavenly Emperor?
In fact, in the eyes of many, Lu Yuan's current image and prestige are even greater than those of the Human Emperor back then!

After all, the ancient Heavenly Emperor is too ancient, dating back millions of years, but Lu Yuan is a living myth and legend!

"There's no need for such formalities, esteemed seniors."

Lu Yuan said in a friendly tone.

Followed by.

He entrusted most of the affairs to the Imperial Tutor, while Lu Yuan himself decided to begin a new round of seclusion.

In his opinion.

Status and position are all meaningless; only one's own strength is the most important guarantee.

After Lu Yuan finished dealing with everything, he activated the Primordial Eight Trigrams Diagram to evolve a small world.

Once that world had stabilized, Lu Yuan immediately transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into it.

However, he did not rush to cultivate.

Instead, he once again used the Samsara Prison to create an eternal divine domain about three feet wide around himself, concealing all his aura.

The Samsara Prison is impervious to all laws.

In addition, the power of the innate Bagua diagram can be used to conceal the secrets of heaven and block all prying from the outside world.

Even the Heavenly Emperor Qian Yuan could no longer monitor Lu Yuan's every move!
"Finally, I can focus on improving my strength."

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged, took out the wisp of innate purple energy, and silently absorbed the Heavenly Venerable's essence within it.

As he absorbed more and more of the origins of the laws, his aura became increasingly ethereal and otherworldly, as if he had reached a state of oneness with humanity.

The unity of heaven and man is simply using the power of the heavenly way to perceive the mysteries of heaven and earth and the origin of laws.

But at its root, it still has to be subject to the laws of nature and be limited by them.

If Heaven does not allow it.

Even a powerful figure like the Qian Yuan Heavenly Emperor would instantly lose most of his power, like a dragon trapped in shallow waters, unable to unleash his true fighting strength.

However, the unity of humanity and the Tao means attributing all great power to oneself, enabling oneself to transcend worldly affairs, not relying on external things, and reaching a state of being equal to the Tao.

This power applies equally to all realms of the universe.

Even if Lu Yuan leaves the desolate world or goes to other world planes, he can firmly grasp all the power in his own hands and doesn't have to worry about being restricted or bound in any way!

Time flies, and years pass quickly.

A century has passed since that earth-shattering battle between the Celestial Venerables.

Over this period of one hundred years.

The Great Wilderness World is thriving and developing rapidly, giving rise to many young geniuses and powerful figures.

Especially after Lu Yuan stepped into the Ancestral God realm, it also caused many powerful figures in the Great Wilderness to experience a surge in strength and a transformation in their aptitude.

In just one hundred years.

Tens of thousands of powerful warriors from the Great Wilderness ignited their divine fire and stepped into the realm of gods in one fell swoop!
As for Yu Xiong and his fellow veteran powerhouses, their foundations were incredibly profound. After a hundred years of arduous cultivation, they finally managed to step into the realm of the Heavenly Gods!

All the gods and celestial beings of the Great Wilderness entrusted the divine fire of law and the mark of the Heavenly Heart to Lu Yuan, which greatly enhanced his strength.

Until this time.

Lu Yuancai finally understood why the Heavenly Dao and the Qian Yuan Heavenly Emperor were so keen to distribute their authority to other deities.

Because they only need to grant a little bit of the authority over the laws to gain a lot of benefits from the other party.

If the authority over the laws they gave out was merely a seed.

What they received from each other, however, was a ripe fruit!
With just a little effort, you can reap the rewards of others' labor – it's an incredibly lucrative business!

For a while.

The vast primordial energy returned by all the gods of the Great Wilderness, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, converged into a mighty river of primordial energy, all of which poured into Lu Yuan's body.

The primordial Dao seed within his body had grown from the size of a longan to the size of a fist, and its surface was covered with countless densely packed divine runes of law.

Each law and Dao trace is mysterious and complex, containing unimaginable power.

If other powerful Ancestral Gods were to witness this scene, they would surely be terrified and speechless.

Because ordinary Ancestral God powerhouses only need to master three fundamental laws to smoothly advance to the Supreme Celestial Venerable.

However, the number of divine runes of law on the surface of Lu Yuandao's seed was countless.

Just one glance is enough to make one dizzy!
It is important to understand that having more of the fundamental laws is not necessarily better; otherwise, if one exceeds their own limits, their physical body will collapse and they will be assimilated by the Great Dao.

But only Lu Yuan knew.

He follows the path of the furnace of all methods, focusing solely on self-cultivation and attributing all great power to himself—the ultimate path.

His path does not belong to any of the known Great Paths.

But once mastered, one can rule over countless Great Daos, suppress all heavens and realms, and be invincible in the world! (End of Chapter)
