I am in a chat group, and all my friends are the protagonists of the Sequel

The halo behind Ji Zheng is like a vast world, intertwining all causes and effects.

The gravity of the cause and effect shocked both Xuandu and Yujing, the two most promising immortal lords to become Heavenly Lords.

How can one break through to the Heavenly Lord level without severing the causal link?

Ji Zheng ignored him. The reason why you want to break through to the Heavenly Monarch level and sever the cause and effect is because your seven souls are unclear and your three spirits are not clear. How can you be on par with heaven and earth?

The Great Way of Resonance?

The Way of Heaven is impartial, so if one wants to break through to the Heavenly Lord level, one must sever all karmic ties with one's past and become as pure as Heaven and Earth.

From this point on, any new causes and effects you create will not interact with the soul.

That is, to transcend cause and effect.

This is called the Heavenly Ruler.

However, as long as the path you cultivate from the beginning is the Dao itself, that's enough.

Others need to sever ties with cause and effect and resonate with the Tao.

But Ji Zheng is the Dao.

Cause and effect are only part of it.

After Ji Zheng broke through to the Heavenly Monarch realm, he found the Dao King and others who had ascended to the Immortal Realm here and brought them to the original territory of the Eight Immortal Kings.

This place serves as the territory of their new Xian Dynasty.

"My chat group is acting strange too."

After settling Dao Wang and his men, Ji Zheng sat in the palace of Zi Xiao Xian Wang and opened his chat group with a puzzled look.

After breaking through to the Heavenly Lord level, he felt an even deeper connection to the chat group.

You can directly separate it and use it yourself.

"Space Gate." With a thought, Ji Zheng summoned a silver space gate.

He raised his hand, and the spatial gate expanded, crashing out of the Immortal Realm. A large hole was squeezed out of the massive boundary membrane, which is slowly healing.

In the palaces of the two emperors, among the immortal kings of the thirty-six states, and even in that uninhabited area outside the immortal realm, Dao Lords were awakened and murmured to themselves.

What happened?

Who is attacking the Immortal Realm at this time?
They've already punched a hole in it.

Ji Zheng put away the spatial gate and pondered, realizing that his spatial gate was the main body.

The splitting occurs as each new group member joins, and the splitting occurs on the true spirit of that new member.

Therefore, they can summon spatial gates to travel through the heavens at any time.

In addition, the Heavenly Mirror transmits information in real time, and the real Buddha's golden body helps group members regardless of differences in the flow of time.

But in reality, it was the combined power of the three golden Buddha statues.

The past, present, and future—all three golden statues of Buddha reside with him.

Ji Zheng reached out and grabbed, and the three golden Buddha statues exuded an unchanging charm of past, present, and future, suppressing time and space.

The misty river of time seemed to stand still at this moment.

boom!
A beam of light suddenly came from beyond the realm, striking the three golden Buddha statues, only to be calmly absorbed and rendered insignificant by them.

What the hell?

Who attacked?
Ji Zheng took out the Heavenly Evolution Mirror, which allowed him to view past and future timelines and trace that light.

The attack was discovered to have originated from the past!

Two figures were engaged in a fierce battle in the river of time, their battle causing the heavens and earth to shatter, when a beam of light struck them.

To destroy a world that is just beginning to take shape.

“Jiangnan, and…” Ji Zheng checked the information with the Heavenly Evolution Mirror, and the other figure was Wuji Heavenly Venerable.

He is one of the most powerful figures in this world, with strength no less than that of the Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable who created the Immortal Realm.

How could Jiangnan fight him so fiercely?
Something's wrong.

Ji Zheng checked the information again and discovered that Jiang Nan and Wuji Tianzun came from the future.

They fought fiercely there, stepping into the river of time and then going back to the past.

An attack was launched without warning.

That attack was originally intended to destroy the Taiyi era, which existed before the appearance of the Chaos Ancient Gods.

Thus, the Taiyi Era was destroyed, and the Chaos Ancient Gods came into being.

Then the Immortal Emperor and the Immortal Venerable traveled from the endless void and encountered the Ancient God of Chaos, the Daoist Bukong.

The three of them together opened up the Immortal Realm, laying the foundation for the Immortal Era, which is now.

"What is all this nonsense?"

Ji Zheng was speechless. This was too convoluted. The future interfered with the past, and the past determined the present. And the present, in turn, destined Jiang Nan to engage in a great battle with Wuji Tianzun in the river of time.

There, they destroyed the nascent Age of One.

He is able to appear in the present, future, and past simultaneously because of the Buddhas of the three times.

Therefore, the past Taiyi era also sensed him and an incarnation of him appeared.

The Buddhas of the Three Times will naturally appear there to protect him.

So they blocked the attack.

It prevented the destruction of the Taiyi era.

"But the problem is, if the Taiyi era is not destroyed, the subsequent Chaos Ancient Gods will not appear."

"Without the appearance of the Chaos Ancient God, there would be no Immortal Daoist and Immortal Emperor/Immortal Venerable opening the Immortal Realm together."

"That means the current timeline will be completely rewritten."

Ji Zheng's eyelids twitched; he could already sense that the immortal realm before him was filled with fear and was changing.

Because it lost its legitimacy to exist.

Ji Zheng now has two choices.

The first option is to ignore it and let the celestial realm's timeline dissipate, evolving into the true Taiyi era—the timeline that didn't die in the womb.

Although time and space may be altered.

However, he is protected by a chat group, so his position remains unshaken and his strength will not change.

They could even use this opportunity to make strategic moves.

Since the birth of the Taiyi era, we have gained an extra 800 million years of cultivation time.

But everyone he knows will disappear; his father, his friends, his enemies—all will be erased.

Ji Zheng took a deep breath.

This is why he dislikes time-space predicaments.

Too much trouble.

Let's make the second option.

Ji Zheng opened the spatial gate and went directly to the point in the Taiyi era that had not been destroyed.

It was a ball of extinguished heavenly fire.

It holds the promise of a new era.

Rumble.

The river of time and space trembled, repelling Ji Zheng, but he had the Three Buddhas of the Three Worlds, which easily neutralized it.

That's what you call cheating.

He grabbed the ball of Annihilation Flame and snatched it away, causing the space-time in this area to shatter abruptly.

Ji Zheng had captured him from the past to the present, and then threw him violently into the chaotic region outside the Immortal Realm.

No man's land.

A group of Dao Lords who had been in a state of self-slumber awoke to a shocking sight: a celestial fire of annihilation that they could only witness at the end of an era.

It streaks across the sky.

They fell into a desolate, chaotic void.

“This is unreasonable. The Annihilation Heavenly Fire can burn everything, and even a Dao Lord might not be able to control it.”

"Who did it?"

"That was the aura of the Taiyi era. Impossible. I clearly saw it with my own eyes. It was shattered by a light of unknown origin."

"The memory has been altered. It was a colossal hand that pulled the Annihilation Flame from the past into the present."

Daojun in the no-man's-land murmured, feeling as if his sense of time and space had collapsed.

Although they all have the ability to travel through time and look back at the past.

But in reality, one cannot travel into that era; one can only observe, not interfere.

They were just spectators.

but now.

changed.

After Ji Zheng threw the Taiyi Era into the chaos, he suddenly discovered that he had gained a new sense.

That extinguished heavenly fire regarded itself as the Dao Ancestor of the Taiyi Era.

"Me, the Dao Ancestor of Two Eras?" (End of Chapter)
