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

"A powerful being who crossed over from another dimension?"

Watching the old man in black robes and his companions slowly disappear.

Lu Yuan dared not relax his guard in the slightest and remained vigilant.

Excessive interference with cause and effect will trigger unpredictable disasters.

The commotion Lu Yuan caused this time was so great that the river of time has deviated from its original trajectory and intersected with other dimensions and timelines.

That's why the old man in black robes and others were able to descend from other planes into this world.

In some respects, this matter is extremely dangerous.

After all, the simplest way to promote the world to a higher dimension is to merge with the will of the Heavenly Dao of worlds of the same level.

But the myriad realms are vast and boundless.

Many world planes of the same level may never intersect from their birth to their annihilation.

Now that the other side has finally encountered a world plane of the same level, how could they let it go for nothing?
This is why the black-robed elder and his companions sensed some great terror and cause and effect from Lu Yuan, making them dare not act rashly.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, they would definitely test the waters first!
"Are these people so wary and fearful of me because of Burial Emperor Abyss?"

Lu Yuan stood above the long river and looked back.

Its profound gaze seems to transcend time and glimpse a corner of the future.

All I could see was at the end of the long river.

As time goes by and space changes, everything ceases to exist.

Only a vast, dark abyss remains eternally unchanged, emanating a terrifying aura that sends shivers down one's spine.

This is the final destination for all living beings, and also the end of time.

All the heavens are silent, and all ages have become emptiness.

Only darkness will last forever!

As far as Lu Yuan knew.

This Burial Abyss of Emperors is the most forbidden place in the heavens.

It has existed since the ancient times, and is the burial place of five human emperors, as well as countless innate gods and demons and all kinds of living beings.

Originally, this dark abyss was silent, but as Lu Yuan altered the past, the future also underwent unpredictable changes.

Deep within the abyss, black mist surged and boiled, like boiling water, and for the first time, it left the abyss, flowing backward from the end of the long river of time.

We must assimilate all living beings and plunge this world into darkness!

Fortunately, the black fog is not spreading very quickly; it would take at least several hundred years to reach its current location.

"The future has been eroded by darkness, and I don't have much time left."

Lu Yuan's expression was solemn, but he did not give up all hope.

As the saying goes, things will go as planned.

This is just a glimpse into the future across countless timelines; it may not actually become a reality.

If he is strong enough, he might be able to defy fate and change the destiny of all living beings in this world!

at the same time.

This great reckoning, which has swept across the ages, continues to unfold in different times and spaces.

In ancient times, it was a sacred site of Zen Buddhism.

In a magnificent hall, thousands of solemn Buddha statues stand tall.

Below the statue.

Thousands of disciples were sitting around an old monk, chanting sutras while forming mudras.

Their expressions were devout, their voices were strong and clear, and every verse they uttered resonated with the laws of nature.

This makes the golden light emanating from those Buddha statues even more dazzling.

The old monk, dressed in a kasaya and with long, snow-white eyebrows, chanted Buddhist scriptures while striking a wooden fish.

But upon closer inspection...

The wooden fish in front of him was strangely shaped; it was a magical artifact made from the skull of a certain human celestial being!
Inside that skull, a true spirit was constantly shifting and twisting, as if it were undergoing some kind of unbearable torment.

"Amitabha Buddha, put down the butcher's knife and turn back to the shore."

"Humanity has been defeated and will be enslaved for generations, with no hope of ever rising again. Why do you, Xing Tianzun, remain so stubbornly ignorant?"

The old monk with long eyebrows chanted Buddhist mantras, his tone compassionate.

The true spirit remained silent, but the intense killing intent emanating from it caused the temperature in the entire hall to drop significantly.

"Entering the Buddhist gate will erase all sins."

“I am grateful for your loyalty to your master and your sincerity. You only need to convert to Buddhism and become a protector of my Zen sect to cleanse your sins and be reborn.”

The old monk with long eyebrows advised again.

No matter how he threatened or tempted, that undying true spirit never wavered in the slightest.

Seeing this, the long-browed old monk had no choice but to use a Zen formation to forcibly convert this remnant soul of the Heavenly Venerable.

But the next moment.

The Zen temple hall suddenly trembled violently, as if an earthquake had occurred, and large sections of buildings collapsed, rendering even the protective array ineffective.

And the Bodhisattva and Buddha statues sitting high above the main hall had tears of blood streaming from their eyes.

It was as if he was facing death and was repenting for the heinous sins he had committed!
Their heads exploded, the statues crumbled, and almost instantly they turned to dust.

Besides.

All Zen disciples, regardless of their level of cultivation or location, suddenly experienced a burst of crimson flame within their bodies.

This flame was as red as blood, filled with intense karmic force, like a blooming red lotus of hell!

When the old monk with long eyebrows saw this ball of karmic fire, he was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, and he lost all his previous solemnity and composure.

Red lotus karma fire!

The most terrifying karmic calamity in the world!

Even the slightest stain would reduce a Celestial Venerable to ashes!

The strongest of those Zen disciples were only at the Heavenly God realm, so how could they possibly withstand such terrifying karmic fire?

They were almost powerless to resist, their entire bodies were engulfed in raging flames, and they were burned to ashes in an instant!
"Ow! Ow!"

Seeing all his disciples die tragically, the long-browed old monk's features contorted, and he let out a mournful wail that sounded inhuman.

What's even scarier is.

A ball of red lotus karmic fire also erupted from his body!
No matter how much they struggled and resisted, they could not extinguish the flames in the slightest, and could only watch helplessly as they, along with the entire Zen sect, were reduced to nothingness in the flames.

Followed by.

This red lotus karmic fire burned ever more fiercely, even spanning the long river of time, igniting the Zen disciples of today!

Before any of the Zen disciples and elders knew what was happening, they suddenly discovered that a ball of karmic fire had appeared out of nowhere and ignited their bodies.

It didn't take long.

Whether it's the past or the present.

The entire Zen holy site was turned into a raging sea of ​​fire, burned to ashes, as if it had never existed!
"A human emperor from the future?"

"Hahaha, my human race is indeed destined to live on! I can die without regret!"

A hearty laugh erupted from Xing Tianzun's head.

"Settling accounts with the past is a huge karmic debt. Although my strength is insufficient, I can still help you offset some of your karma!"

The voice just fell.

A rainbow of light shot into the sky, flowing downstream from the past with the help of Lu Yuan's power, handing over all the remaining power and the origin of the laws to Lu Yuan.

In fact, Lu Yuan's disruption of time and space might have allowed him to change his fate and forcefully survive.

But all his joys and sorrows were buried in ancient times.

Rather than live on in this world and implicate Lu Yuan, who will suffer the consequences of karma.

It would be better to use our last bit of strength to help Lu Yuan overcome the difficulties ahead.

"Senior, walk slowly!"

Lu Yuan stood above the river of time, his hands clasped in a fist, watching the wisp of remnant soul transform into a shower of light, eventually vanishing without a trace.

……

The Celestial Dao Sect.

Alchemy Pavilion.

A group of alchemists dressed in Taoist robes were standing in mid-air, throwing various spiritual herbs and powerful medicines into a giant alchemy furnace that was hundreds of feet tall.

However, these are all auxiliary materials.

After all the herbs have been refined to extract their essence and melted into a medicinal liquid.

An elderly alchemist took out a crystal, about the size of a fist, and solemnly placed it into the alchemy furnace.

"boom!"

The crystal shattered the moment it entered the alchemy furnace. Millions of human souls fled from the crystal, filling the entire furnace to the brim.

They desperately rammed against the thick walls of the cauldron, shaking the furnace violently, trying to escape from inside.

But the next moment.

Numerous divine patterns appeared on the surface of the alchemy furnace, emitting bursts of flame, making the furnace temperature increasingly terrifying.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"I don't want to die yet!"

"I have just ascended to the upper realm and haven't even had a chance to enjoy a good life yet. How can I die in a place like this?"

"I have never met any of you Celestial Masters, and I have not committed any offenses against you. I beg you to spare my life!"

Under the burning flames.

Many human souls screamed and wailed, desperately begging the Daoist alchemist to spare their lives.

But the alchemists merely stared indifferently, coldly watching the countless souls struggling in agony.

The towering flames illuminated the faces of all the alchemists, turning them crimson, and each of their eyes gleamed with undisguised greed and desire.

The quality of the human true spirits this time is quite good; at least dozens of Myriad Spirit Pills can be refined from them!

"A lackey of the Dao Sect!"

"You use human souls to refine pills, committing such inhumane acts. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"Sooner or later, my human race will rise again, sever the Daoist lineage, and settle all karmic debts with you!"

A human Qi Refiner gritted his teeth and roared angrily.

However, all the Daoist alchemists remained unmoved by the insults and curses of these people, and instead showed a look of disdain and sneer on their faces.

The Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race defied the Heavenly Way, and his body and soul perished.

The Dao Sect has rendered meritorious service to the emperor, following the Qian Yuan Heavenly Emperor and making outstanding contributions, and has been promoted to a supreme holy land.

Apart from the Heavenly Court.

Looking across the entire heavens, who dares to oppose the Daoist sect?
As for the so-called retribution, it's nothing but a joke!
"You still have the energy to shout? It seems we've been too kind-hearted."

The Daoist alchemist's expression was icy. He immediately activated the formation, increasing the temperature of the furnace fire.

"boom!"

The flames surged, burning countless human souls to ashes.

As the time goes.

The mournful howls and curses of all the human souls who perished gradually faded away, eventually returning to silence.

Just as this batch of panaceas was about to be successfully refined.

A ball of crimson flame suddenly appeared in the void of the Pill Pavilion, instantly igniting all the Daoist alchemists.

"Ahhh!"

Under the scorching heat of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

These Taoist alchemists let out extremely mournful cries, finally understanding the feelings and pain of those human souls who were refined into elixirs.

pain!
Severe pain!

This is a soul-wrenching torment, countless times more painful than being torn to pieces!

Their faces were contorted, their bodies curled up in a ball, and they rolled back and forth on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

But the Red Lotus Karmic Fire not only did not go out, it burned even more fiercely!
Not only that.

The same scene also appeared simultaneously in Daozong and various parts of Shangcang.

Before any of the gods could react, they were instantly ignited by the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, turning them into fire figures.

Amidst towering flames.

The past and present overlap.

Whether in ancient times or in this era.

Every deity in the entire Celestial Realm was engulfed by the sea of ​​fire; no one could escape unscathed.

Even an ancient being as powerful as the Burial Heaven Venerable was now engulfed in raging karmic fire, his features contorted from the flames, suffering excruciating pain.

"Ahhh!"

"Kill me! Kill me quickly!"

Faced with such unbearable pain, all the gods of the heavens were mentally broken and only wanted Lu Yuan to give them a quick death.

Unfortunately.

Under Lu Yuan's control.

The Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire burned for seven days and seven nights, allowing all the gods to personally experience the pain and despair that human cultivators had gone through.

Until the eighth day.

As the first rays of dawn pierced the darkness.

The raging fire gradually died down.

When the flames disappeared, the entire Celestial Realm was deserted, becoming extremely desolate and lifeless.

Even the magnificent Heavenly Palace, which symbolized the majesty of the Heavenly Emperor, was now empty.

Injustice has its head, and debt has its owner.

Although the Red Lotus Karmic Fire is terrifyingly powerful, it only burns those who are guilty.

In contrast, the other innocent lives, as well as the palaces and cities, were not harmed at all, not even a trace of burning.

However, there is a price to pay for doing this.

As Lu Yuan burned all the gods, he settled all karmic debts.

The river of time beneath his feet also became extremely illusory, as if it could vanish at any moment.

After all, every drop of river water represents the life of a living being.

This long river of time is formed by the past, present, and future of all wild creatures.

However, Lu Yuan's excessive interference with cause and effect completely disrupted everyone's destiny.

If the established past no longer exists, then what meaning do the present and the future have?

Can be imagined.

Once this river of time completely disappears, the entire wild world will fall into eternal annihilation and death.

Another dimension.

When serious problems arose in the Wilderness World, other powerful beings from other realms also noticed this change.

Time evaporates, and eternity vanishes.

Lu Yuan's actions caused such a commotion that other worlds were affected to varying degrees.

However, the black-robed elder and the other powerful beings from other worlds witnessed Lu Yuan's insane actions.

Even with their level of understanding and experience, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.

With one's own power, one could erase the past and existence of trillions upon trillions of living beings.

What a deep-seated hatred and resentment this is!

They originally had some ideas about the Wilderness World, but now, thanks to Lu Yuan's actions, the entire Wilderness Plane has become a dead land.

This way.

There's absolutely no need for them to start a life-or-death imperial war with Lu Yuan, this madman, for a dead and desolate plane.

"All ages have vanished, and all beings are silent."

"It seems that this fellow Daoist intends to perish together with this world."

"What a pity, this is the Seven Star World, a sight that is rare even once in a million years."

"But with his erratic behavior, isn't he afraid of angering the will of the heavens?"

The other powerful beings from other worlds looked puzzled.

"Forget it, this matter is none of our concern. Let's not inquire about it rashly."

The old man in black robes shook his head, deciding not to meddle any further.

Powerful beings of their caliber are supreme beings standing at the very top of their respective worlds, and they are extremely wary of being spied on by others.

Moreover, Lu Yuan's emotions are currently very unstable.

If they rashly try to spy on them, and Lu Yuan, in a fit of rage, breaks into their plane and wreaks havoc, then they will suffer a great loss.

The old man in black robes withdrew his divine sense, glancing one last time at the desolate world.

But it would have been better if I hadn't looked; what I saw gave me a huge shock.

He suddenly trembled, his expression turning utterly horrified, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.

Because he saw Lu Yuan after he slaughtered billions of gods.

Still unwilling to give up, they even want to go further and directly abolish the Heavenly Dao? (End of Chapter)
