The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 212 The Ultimate Emperor
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of millions of years have passed. Nuwa went out to explore and adventure with Ji Ning, and there has been no news of her for hundreds of millions of years.

In the Qinghua Cave, Shi Mo spent a long time studying countless methods, as well as the inheritances of the twelve ultimate Dao Four-Step Dao Lords and the Supreme Qi. He also spent a long time meditating and digesting the knowledge on the stone platform in the cave, which had the effect of sudden enlightenment.

"That's about enough. I've grasped everything I could, and prepared everything I needed to. There's no further progress in the ultimate path of chaos; it's time to merge with the Dao."

On the black stone platform, after much contemplation and sufficient preparation, Shi Mo murmured a soft voice, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes with anticipation.

Shi Mo did not seek out those treasures that aided in achieving Dao integration, such as the Dao Integration Fire Cloud Flower, because those things, like the Cave Sea Jade Talisman, would be of little help to him.

The stone platform that Qi Zhizun spent a great deal of effort to refine in his cave has already been of considerable help to him. With the assistance of that stone platform, which has the effect of enlightenment, it is better than taking any auxiliary pills.

Having already accumulated and prepared for a long time, Shi Mo naturally would not hesitate or waver at this point.

"Begin! Eternal Flower, bloom!" With a thought, Shi Mo felt the flower buds that had been rapidly growing on the Dao Tree within his body begin to slowly bloom.

Once the Flower of Eternity blooms, there is no turning back. If there is even the slightest error or imperfection in the path one has comprehended, the Flower of Eternity will immediately wither, the merging with the Dao will fail, and the true spirit will begin to slowly dissipate.

This step is perilous and cruel; a Daoist master's long years of arduous cultivation and preparation are all for this final blossoming.

Under Shi Mo's control, the slowly blooming Eternal Flower became more and more beautiful and dazzling, and everything went more and more smoothly, just as Shi Mo had predicted.

Boom! The moment the Eternal Flower bloomed, Shi Mo, whose body shone brightly, emanated a terrifying and surging power that far surpassed that of a Dominator.
The oppressive aura representing the eternal ultimate path was enough to make the ruler tremble, and even the white-haired old man, the spirit of the cave that had quietly appeared, felt fear and instinctively lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Shi Mo.

However, since the Azure Flower Cave was left behind by the Supreme Being, it isolated this aura.

However, the vast and ethereal aura still swept through and alarmed many powerful figures in the endless territory, even several rulers and those eternal emperors were surprised.

The overwhelming aura of pressure came from the depths of Yu Xinghai and from a certain edge of the endless territory. The aura was not from one place, which meant that Shi Moke had more than one or two clones.

However, at the moment the aura bursts forth, even a ruler would find it difficult to accurately distinguish the source of the aura or how many auras were bursting forth.

The invisible pressure from that aura only made them feel terrified and fearful.

Time passed quietly. Although Shi Mo was very confident, this was, after all, the Dao Integration stage, and he only had one chance. He couldn't be careless, so he remained very cautious.

The flower of eternity bloomed continuously, growing more and more beautiful, until finally the last moment arrived, just one step away from achieving eternity.

"It went smoothly, there shouldn't be any problems, so let's unleash our full potential!" After pausing briefly to think it over, Shi Mo decisively took the final step.

Buzz. The Eternal Flower trembled and fully bloomed, in its most perfect bloom, releasing a beautiful and dazzling light.

Flowers bloom! Eternity! On the magnificent flower of eternity, there seems to be a hazy mist, as if everything is evolving in chaos.

"It's done! The ultimate emperor! The eternal ultimate chaos path." Feeling the aura of the primordial chaos descending from afar, enveloping his consciousness and conveying joy to him, Shi Mo couldn't help but excitedly open his eyes, his gaze shining brightly.

"Congratulations, Emperor Shi Mo!" The white-haired old man who had witnessed the whole thing couldn't help but get excited.

However, Shi Mo suddenly sensed something and his expression changed slightly: "Hmm? Why is there a special blood-red energy in my mind? What kind of energy is this? When did it enter my mind? Could it be..."

Thinking about how he was teleported to the Pangu Chaos World, Shi Mo, whose consciousness invaded the crimson energy, immediately felt an invisible information fluctuation: "With the help of this energy, can I retain my true spirit memories and travel back?"

"I have spent countless billions of years in this world, and how much time has passed in the primordial world?" For a moment, Shi Mo was both excited and apprehensive: "Fortunately, I have more than one clone, so I can sacrifice one to try to go back."

"Your Majesty, what's wrong? Didn't you successfully achieve Dao?" Noticing that Shi Mo's condition seemed a bit off, the white-haired old man couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm fine," Shi Molian said with a smile, having snapped out of her daze upon hearing this.

He was truly overjoyed at this moment, even more so than when he had successfully achieved Dao Integration. After all, no matter how powerful he became here, he didn't truly belong here, which inevitably left him with some regrets.

"The path to ultimate Chaos and the attainment of the Dao went so smoothly; the path to ultimate supremacy that follows will not be too difficult either. Life is born from destruction; the evolution of Chaos will all fall into place naturally."

Thinking of this, Shi Mo became even more excited: "Next, I will slowly integrate various Daos into my ultimate Chaos Dao, and wait for the accumulation to finally transform all my insights into the true ultimate Chaos Dao, becoming the ultimate supreme being."

In the chaos beyond the Three Realms, in front of Shi Mo's cave, Nuwa's Dharma body came to see Shi Mo. Sensing the changes in the aura of Shi Mo's Dharma body, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Could it be that you have successfully merged with the Dao?"

“Hmm,” Shi Mo nodded slightly, and Nuwa’s beautiful eyes widened immediately: “You really succeeded? I was thinking of letting you try an opportunity that Bei Ming and I encountered before! Could it be that the oppressive aura that permeated the entire endless territory was the movement of your ultimate path merging with the Dao? Is your true self not in the Three Realms?”

“It was indeed the sound of my merging with the Dao, but it’s best not to let anyone know that I have successfully merged with the Dao,” Shi Mo nodded.

"Why?" Nuwa was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but ask, "What level of strength have you reached now? It should far surpass the Sovereign, right?"

“The ultimate emperor should be comparable to the supreme being,” Shi Mo’s words made Nuwa pause again.

"Supreme Being?" Nuwa was somewhat bewildered, after all, in the entire cultivator civilization, in the vast chaotic universe, Supreme Beings were few and far between.

"To think...to think you can rival a supreme being?" Nuwa was filled with shock. "You're already this strong, why are you still hiding your power?"

"To avoid trouble! I should be the first ultimate emperor born in the entire cultivator civilization. Do you know what that means?" Shi Mo asked seriously.

Nuwa's expression shifted slightly: "The only ultimate emperor? It seems that achieving the ultimate path and merging with the Dao is indeed extremely difficult; no one has ever succeeded. And since you have become the ultimate emperor, you also have the hope of becoming the ultimate supreme being in the future, right? Wouldn't your strength then far surpass that of other supreme beings?" "So, you're worried that this will arouse the jealousy of other supreme beings?" Nuwa continued to ask.

Shi Mo shook his head and said, "Do you know about the Sith? You probably know a little about how terrifying the great war between the cultivator civilization and the Sith was. Where do you think such a formidable enemy came from?"

"Could these Sith people be cultivators from this chaotic universe? Their methods seem far more advanced than those of cultivator civilizations," Nuwa asked hesitantly.

"So do you think the Sith have really been defeated? Will they make a comeback? What if they know of my existence, know that I have a chance to become the ultimate supreme being?" As Shi Mo said this, Nuwa was already horrified.

Seeing Nuwa's changing expression, Shi Mo couldn't help but say, "So, no matter what, it's always safer to keep a low profile and not let others see your trump cards."

“You’re right,” Nuwa nodded slightly, then said expectantly, “Now that you have successfully merged with the ultimate Dao, can’t you guide Beiming? If his ultimate sword Dao can also be successfully merged with the ultimate Dao, that would be wonderful.”

Shi Mo remained noncommittal, saying, "I can guide him, but whether he can successfully merge with the Dao is still hard to say. I succeeded because the Ultimate Chaos Dao is more perfect. The Ultimate Sword Dao is more extreme, making it much harder to merge with the Dao! That leap is simply too great!"

“That being said, with your guidance, Beiming’s chances of success will be much greater,” Nuwa said.

"And you? How are your preparations going? When do you plan to achieve Dao integration?" Shi Mo asked.

Nuwa shook her head and smiled: "My understanding of the Dao is not as profound as yours and Beiming's, so there's no need to rush. Take it slow! I'll try to merge with the Dao when I feel more confident. This time, Beiming, his friend Jiuchen, and I have had quite a few fortuitous encounters and gains."

"Opportunities often come with dangers, so never be careless. Although you all have the strength of a peak Dao Lord, and are not afraid of encountering a weaker Eternal Emperor, you are still not as good as the Sovereign and those Eternal Emperors who have comprehended the strongest Dao and finally succeeded in merging with the Dao and have the strength of the Lord of the Holy City," Shi Mo reminded.

“Yes, we will be careful. Under normal circumstances, we won’t offend the Lord of the Holy City,” Nuwa nodded to indicate that she understood.

"Can't afford to offend them?" Shi Mo thought to himself. As their strength grew, they would inevitably have to get involved with such beings. Moreover, Ji Ning would soon be facing off against the City Lord of Scarlet Snow, one of the eight holy city lords.

However, since Ji Ning had the Dao Talisman for resurrection and was backed by the powerful ruler of Mangya Kingdom, Shi Mo did not intend to interfere.

He's just the lord of a holy city; it's not worth Shi Mo revealing his ultimate emperor strength yet.

Not long after, Ji Ning, Nuwa, and Jiu Chen, who had caused quite a stir in the Eternal Kingdom and gained a lot, were indeed overjoyed but then met with tragedy when they encountered the City Lord of Feixue, who wanted to seize the damaged parts of their domain spaceship.

In the critical moment, Ji Ning made a breakthrough in the Heart Sword Technique, but due to the Mangya Overlord's untimely rescue, he was still killed by the Crimson Snow City Lord who went all out.

Having been resurrected by a Dao talisman, Ji Ning quietly cultivated for hundreds of millions of years before finally becoming a Fourth-Step Dao Lord. He stormed into the Scarlet Snow Holy City, where he fought against twenty or thirty Eternal Emperors alone, gaining fame in one battle and displaying a powerful combat strength no less than that of the Holy City's Lord.

Only then did the rulers of the endless territories, including the Lord of Mangya, and several of the most powerful Eternal Emperors of the Dao Alliance realize that he had comprehended the ultimate sword path.

They were also extremely envious and curious about the ultimate sword path, but in the end, only the current number one powerhouse of the Dao Alliance, Daoist Qing Shi, spared no expense to obtain the opportunity to comprehend Ji Ning's ultimate sword path.

Having suffered a great loss, the Lord of Feixue City was naturally unwilling to let the matter rest. Unable to find Nuwa, he plotted against Jiuchen in Yuxinghai, luring Ji Ning there. However, he was ultimately forced to commit suicide by Ji Ning.

After the death of the City Lord of Scarlet Snow, in order to take revenge on Ji Ning, she spread the news of the Domain Flying Boat, attracting the rulers of other domains and the Eternal Emperor to come and compete for the Domain Flying Boat.

Meanwhile, in the Endless Territory, which is also the border of the Flame Dragon Domain, in a seemingly ordinary chaotic world, the Blood Cloud Emperor and a group of Eternal Emperors who previously followed the Scarlet Snow City Lord are now hiding here.

The Lord of Scarlet Snow City died, and Emperor Blood Cloud and a group of Eternal Emperors were preparing to leave to venture into the endless darkness and seek survival in other realms when suddenly an invisible wave spread out. In the blink of an eye, those Eternal Emperors became dazed and confused, and one by one they obediently came to Shi Mo outside this chaotic world.

After becoming the ultimate emperor, Shi Mo's mental world had not yet absorbed enough energy to complete its transformation, but controlling some eternal emperors was still relatively easy.

These Eternal Emperors are all evil beings with great sins, but they managed to survive their battle with Ji Ning, which shows that they are quite strong. Among them, Emperor Blood Cloud even has the strength of a Holy City Lord.

Killing them directly would be a waste, so Shi Mo decided to make use of them, since it wasn't easy for them to become Eternal Emperors.

"Master!" Blood Cloud Emperor and the other Eternal Emperors, their eyes burning with fervor, respectfully called out to Shi Mo.

Shi Mo, who had taken them into his personal world with a wave of his hand, then vanished with a single step as space distorted.

Not long after, in the Three Realms, at the summit of the Eight Treasures Peak of the Nine Cauldrons Iron Fork Mountain in the Nebula Great World, Nuwa suddenly appeared and said to Shi Mo, who was sitting cross-legged beside the cliff, "Something has happened in Beiming!"

“I know. He went to Yu Xinghai because he got into trouble with the Domain Flying Boat. It’s alright. They’re just some other domain rulers and Eternal Emperors. It’s a good test for Bei Ming,” Shi Mo said casually.

"His strength is still no match for the Ruler!" Nuwa couldn't help but frown.

"With the help of some formations in the Yao Huo Realm, we can still hold them off for a while," Shi Mo said calmly. "If they really can't hold on any longer, it won't be too late for me to make a move. With my current strength, it would be too much of a bully to attack some rulers and emperors."

Nuwa said somewhat speechlessly, "You haven't even been to Yu Xinghai, how do you know about the situation in Yao Huo Realm?"

"You can't imagine the power of the Ultimate Emperor. If I wanted to, there wouldn't be any place in the entire Flame Dragon Domain that could escape my divine sense," Shi Mo said confidently.

"By the way, I've recently been trying to create another universe. Once you successfully merge with the Dao and become a ruler, you should be able to directly refine that other universe and become its master."

Nuwa was taken aback and couldn't help but say, "You still have the leisure to ponder creating another universe?"

“In the process of creating another universe, the chaotic origin will evolve into myriad paths, which can also help me comprehend and integrate various paths,” Shi Moze said.
