Chapter 869 The Origin of Generations
Silence, a long, silent silence.

Yue Hanzhang pursed his lips tightly, even lost in thought because of Su Yuan's words.

He understood.

This extraordinary world is the original, spiritless world.

The remains of the evil dragon that was slain by the Hundred Flowers Immortal Lord were scattered across the heavens and earth, becoming fragments of flesh and blood from the sources of extraordinary power.

All the prosperity and glory of the transmission of Taoist teachings originated from a battle between immortals outside the mortal world!
This is the essence of a transcendent world, where a whale falls and all things come to life!

This might have been the best opportunity for a surprise attack.

However, bound by the oath of the Great Dao Law, Su Yuan simply watched Yue Hanzhang's dazed expression quietly. Then, in the same silence, Su Yuan slowly cracked his lips, revealing an increasingly wild, desolate, mocking, and sarcastic smile.

"Didn't expect that, did you?"

"The grudges, life and death, disputes and battles between you and me over the past hundreds of millions of years are nothing more than the afterimages and echoes of others' brief glory."

"They are all just superfluous footnotes to the seven characters 'The Immortal Lord of a Hundred Flowers Slays the Evil Dragon'..."

"Such beings, with a battle fought with ease, have the results enough to revitalize a utterly desolate world of spirits, and allow the desperate survivors of an entire world to reconnect with the path to immortality..."

"When a whale falls, everything comes to life!"

"This is the most fertile water and grass that we, a nomadic tribe that lives by following the water and grass, can find in this desolate border region of the Chaos Sea!"

"Even among the many variables that have brought new life to the Realm of Absolute Spirit, there are such immortal battles, such variables that use the life essence of a wicked dragon that can fight against the Hundred Flower Immortal Lord to the desolate land by the Chaos Sea as its resources."

"It is already enough to be considered the most supreme and top-tier existence among all variables!"

"Even today, I can still clearly remember the day when we saw the supreme sword formation reflected by the Hundred Flowers Immortal Lord severing the form and spirit of that evil dragon, and when the rain of blood fell on this desolate world."

“Our fellow people, that atmosphere of true ecstasy.”

Unfortunately, this atmosphere of ecstasy lasted only a very brief moment.

"Such supreme and top-tier variables are not what we imagine; they are simply the power to create a world!"

"We miscalculated!"

"Within this immense fortune lies also the greatest misfortune!"

"The Hundred Flowers Immortal Lord did not engage in this bloody battle in the Immortal Realm with the aim of creating a realm."

"He simply wanted to kill this scoundrel."

"And that is why the sword formation that cleaved the monstrous dragon's body contained the Hundred Flowers Immortal Fiend, the very weapon upon which the Hundred Flowers Immortal Sect has made its name in countless great worlds!"

"That is the true path of turbidity and evil, the highest achievement in the realm of immortals!"

"The evil dragon itself is also problematic."

"This beast is a ferocious creature born naturally in the Chaos Sea. It has existed independently outside the myriad worlds since its birth, roaming freely in the Chaos Sea tides."

"Their very existence is completely opposed to that of immortal cultivators."

"The paths to immortality that people of all ages cultivate, which are the orderly interweaving of all myriad paths and laws, are all manifestations of this aspect."

"But the ferocious beasts in the Chaos Sea are different. They are intertwined with countless chaotic paths, which is also their essence!"

"All the subsequent misfortunes stemmed entirely from this."

"When the murderous intent of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Lord, the Hundred Flowers Immortal Aura he unleashed, and the chaotic nature inherent in the evil dragon itself, when these three are combined together in the life-and-death struggle of the evil dragon itself."

"This is what you know as the radiant glow contained within the source of all extraordinary power, the root of all evil factors within the extraordinary power of this world!"

"Or."

"We discovered this place at the wrong time."

"The real opportunities and fortunes are not in this era. The endless radiation disasters brought about by the blood rain that fell on the world should be absorbed and digested by all the living beings of this world of spiritual desolation through generations of inheritance throughout an entire era."

"When heaven and earth are depleted again, and in the cycle of birth and death, all calamities will vanish in the process of refining earth, fire, water, and wind. At that time, the new world that will be opened will be the true era of prosperity for the immortal path!"

"We're too early!"

"Unfortunately, the ancient traditions of the Dao Lotus World that have been passed down to us have completely lost detailed records of this aspect."

"Instead of avoiding the bloodshed, we foolishly rushed towards it after our initial euphoria."

"By the time the existence of extraordinary radiation was discovered, it was already too late to avoid it."

"Furthermore, because the blood rain that almost runs through the entire world of the Spiritless Realm contains large chunks of the flesh and remains of the evil dragon, those remains contain unimaginably abundant energy."

"The more abundant the energy, the more unimaginable its quality, and quality itself, like the true sun in the vast starry sky, naturally possesses an extremely strong attractive force."

"But in the process of meeting them head-on, our eighteen Dao Lotus flying saucers were 'stuck' by such high-quality flesh and blood debris!"

"The original UFO power collapsed on its own during this process, and our form and spirit were gradually distorted by the ever-deepening radiation."

"At an extremely critical moment, in the face of a life-or-death crisis, we actively launched a self-rescue effort."

"It's not just about passively seeking survival, but also about trying to keep this world, which has the potential to return to the world, in our hands while we are trying to survive!"

"And to accomplish all of this, we need to achieve the same goal—to extinguish that radiant glow!"

"We simply modified these eighteen 'stuck' flying saucers! Instead of removing their original, disintegrated propulsion systems, we chose to fuse them with those high-quality flesh and blood remains!"

"Thus, the energy within the remains of flesh and blood was utilized in an orderly manner by the UFO."

"A massive amount of extraordinary energy was released and condensed into eighteen extreme barriers. With the high-quality traction aftereffects, it attracted a constellation of stars to fight, forming eighteen star regions that have been explored in the star sea."

"And in this process, a massive amount of extraordinary power can continuously fill the space between heaven and earth in a relatively gentle way."

"We hope to extinguish its radiant glow through sheer, massive consumption in this way."

"This path failed back then."

"But many of us still think it's because the time wasn't long enough."

"Let's look at it again today."

"It's still a failure!" "And beyond the modifications to the flying saucer itself."

"We have also turned our attention to those slightly smaller sources of extraordinary power."

"At that time, after the modification of eighteen flying saucers, all of our flesh and blood bodies underwent long-term and deep radiation distortion."

"This distortion is irreversible."

"Moreover, it is spreading along our flesh and blood, further infiltrating and corroding our soul."

"The purpose was still self-salvation and to extinguish the radiant glow. At that time, the ancestors of the Dream Soul Sect in the clan adapted the ancient and secret methods of the Dao and rewrote them based on the current situation."

"On the one hand, by practicing this secret method, we have been able to give birth to new forms of souls, which are able to break free from the already distorted physical body and survive, so that the essence of the soul that carries consciousness will not be corrupted as well."

"On the other hand, it can also be considered as making use of waste."

"The failure of the UFO modification made us realize that simply releasing massive amounts of energy is not enough to eliminate the radiation from the source of the extraordinary power itself."

"Therefore, we immediately changed our approach, hoping to erase the extraordinary radiance within it through the cycle of life and death."

"Therefore, as we give birth to new souls, we use the spiritual world woven from the ancient Daoist arts within our bodies to absorb the sources of extraordinary power."

Unfortunately, this attempt also failed.

"The radiant glow from the source of extraordinary power only diminished it by a negligible amount."

"This kind of attenuation is almost negligible."

"Even if all the lives of all living beings in the world were sacrificed, it might not be possible to perfectly purify even one of them."

"What is even faster than the radiation decay of the source of extraordinary power is the crazy distortion of our old remnants. In the process of distortion, the true and strict boundary between life and death is completely blurred."

"In this boundless sea of ​​stars, the very first wandering demons and vengeful ghosts, which are still roaming the outer star seas today, were born."

"After repeated failures..."

"We immediately realized that the inherent problems of this extraordinary radiance of the three-in-one were no longer something that we, the descendants who had lost the complete inheritance of the Great Thousand World, could solve quickly in a short period of time."

"Therefore, we began to look at a longer time scale."

"No longer experiencing the same elation, frustration, and impatience as at the beginning..."

"It was at that point in time that we followed the direction indicated by the 'Path of Flesh and Blood' that once rained blood all over the world and traversed the entire world of Jue Ling, and found the true 'center' of this world."

"It was from that desolate world, ravaged by the rain of blood, that we discovered the native human race of this world, which, after its decline, began to tenaciously display its vitality again."

"At first, we were just observing."

"But in our observation, your ancient ancestors quickly showed the vibrant vitality that should have been present in the immortal generation."

"The earliest, crude methods of cultivation, which could be called cultivation techniques, were born by means of the source of extraordinary power."

"Although this Human Yuan Golden Elixir cultivation method has ushered in a dark age of turmoil for your human race."

"But it must be said that from the very beginning, Old Ghost Lin instinctively demonstrated an extremely excellent cultivation path through the Human Origin Golden Elixir Method—"

“From the very first step when you have an accurate understanding of the matter of ‘cultivation,’ you have consciously avoided the direct harm from extraordinary radiation and the evil factors in the flesh and blood of the demon race.”

“From the very beginning of your cultivation journey, you have instinctively tried to use extraordinary powers while staying away from the radiation itself.”

"This method seemed very rudimentary at the time, but we observers were very aware of its enormous potential."

"We are then forced to consider whether it is in our best interest to allow you to stride freely down this primitive and barbaric path..."

"Can this seemingly vibrant era truly accommodate two human races from different worlds sharing the final, delicious harvest?"

"The conclusion to this question is despicable."

"But for the sake of continuation, for the sake of survival, for the sake of the Dao Lian clan, we have no choice but to do this."

"Thus, under our subtle and deliberate guidance, your human race's dark and turbulent era ended with the failure of the Human Yuan Golden Elixir cultivation method to pave the way forward."

"The path that truly suits you best has not blossomed and borne fruit under the blood, flesh and lives of a generation."

"If the Human Origin Golden Elixir cultivation method continues, will it be able to open up a suitable path to immortality for you? We don't know, and we can no longer go back to verify it."

"Based on our guidance that has led people astray on the path of cultivation, we have successively and perfectly transformed the myriad methods and mature achievements of the Dao Lotus World's immortal lineage into the existing path of cultivation for the human race."

"This is a plan that kills multiple birds with one stone."

"Firstly, as your human cultivators live and die, more people interact with heaven and earth, and more people eventually carry the foundation of the Dao path and dissipate into the world with the cycle of life and death, making the origin of all the myriad paths in this world more inclined towards the Dao Lotus World."

"This is a crucial step for us to take over the nest."

"Secondly, this ensures that the cultivation process and the general direction of the path of cultivation of your human race are always in our hands."

"This is an invisible and formless security lock."

"The third one, the framework of the path that we have rewritten, is indeed much more mature than the Human Yuan Golden Elixir cultivation method. However, from the very beginning of the ordination ceremony, you have not been distancing yourselves from the radiant light and evil factors."

"On the contrary, through the construction of the Dao framework, we have bound your extraordinary path, perfect radiance, and evil factors together!"

“From that moment on, you are no longer true immortal cultivators.”

"You are nothing but scavengers!"

"They're just tools we're controlling!"

"This is our most long-term plan regarding the radiant glow from the source of extraordinary power, after two failures—"

"Use your generations of reproduction, use the diligent cultivation of generations of cultivators within the framework of the Dao we have planned, and use the power of creation contained in the miracles of life of billions of beings and countless mortals to gradually extinguish those radiant lights!"

"After that, the stories of the Lotus Palace of All Colors and the Holy Sects are all familiar to you."

"Looking at you, looking at you standing right in front of this old man."

"For a moment, I didn't know whether our plans from back then had succeeded or failed..."
