High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

Su Jie is now a Tenth-Level Ancestral Venerable, a Fifth-Order Peak True Spirit, and the most powerful Eternal being in the history of the Chaos Mother Sea.

Reversing cause and effect and retrieving a soul that was merely at the Body Tempering Realm from the river of death was effortless for him.

Su Jie held the Soul-Suppressing Stone in his palm, letting his true spiritual power seep into it, and followed the remaining soul imprint in the stone, tracing back towards the direction of the Heavenly Star.

The river of fate unfolded in his consciousness, with countless threads of cause and effect intertwined like a spider web.

Su Jie immediately identified one of them: the karma left behind when Chen Mingyang saved him, and the karma left behind when his daughter gave him the Soul-Suppressing Stone.

Those causal lines are like a river flowing backwards, flowing from the depths of the Chaos Mother Sea all the way back to the edge of the Primordial Chaos Island, back to that inconspicuous initial universe, back to the Celestial Star.

Following that causal line, Su Jie retrieved Chen Mingyang's soul traces inch by inch from the river of death.

Those fragments remaining in fate, like a broken mirror, were pieced together, reshaped, and condensed by him using the power of his true spirit.

Chen Mingyang's appearance, aura, and consciousness gradually emerged from nothingness, like a painting faded by time being repainted.

He set the resurrection location at Tianming Star.

"Let's go back."

Su Jie said softly and released his palm.

The Soul-Suppressing Stone transformed into a wisp of grayish-white light and vanished into the void.

At the same time, from the direction of Tianmingxing, a soul fluctuation silently merged into that world.

After finishing all this, Su Jie regained his composure, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

Centuries have passed.

When he left Tianmingxing, Chen Mingyang's daughter was just a little girl who had just embarked on the path of cultivation.

He exchanged a primordial spiritual body (in its embryonic form) for her from the system, and also gave her a primordial star visualization method.

That little girl was already exceptionally talented. With these two items, over the centuries, she should have become the number one person in the Federation.

Having thought this through, Su Jie didn't delve any further.

The matter of Tianmingxing has been resolved, Chen Mingyang has been resurrected, and his daughter's fate has been changed.

That causal line came to an end here, and he even had his soul tempered during his resurrection.

He can't go back, and there's no need for him to go back.

What he needs to do now is to keep moving forward and become stronger.

He had originally planned to investigate the origin of his bloodline and even the identity of his past life once he became powerful.

After all, he had once awakened the Chaos Emperor Bloodline, which was the most powerful bloodline even in the Chaos Mother Sea.

But ever since his soul's origin transformed into a true spirit, this idea has never resurfaced.

What is the true spirit?

The true spirit is the true self, and it is the only one.

It doesn't come from bloodline, nor from inheritance; it comes only from itself.

I am who I am.

So, is bloodline important? Is one's past life identity important?

Not important anymore.

If his bloodline comes from an ancient family in some chaotic mother sea, then he was only given a physical body.

If his past life was a being beyond all existence, then he was only given a wisp of his remnant soul.

Those things had long been sacrificed, refined, and transformed into his own foundation through repeated breakthroughs.

Everything that has passed has vanished like bubbles.

Right now, he is the only one.

Su Jie opened his eyes, a flash of dark golden light appearing and disappearing in them.

The Chaos Emperor Wings silently unfolded behind him, their dark golden edges adorned with intricate patterns of the origin of time and space.

With a thought, he vanished from his spot and sped off towards the southern part of the giant island.

Ten years is but a fleeting moment on the scale of the Chaotic Mother Sea.

But for those wicked and transcendent forces on Xuanxiao Giant Island, these ten years mark the beginning of their countdown to destruction.

Su Jie has had a very fulfilling ten years.

He traveled across the Xuanxiao Giant Island and dozens of surrounding chaotic islands under the name "Soul Devourer," targeting evil cultivation forces burdened with karma and heavy sins.

In fact, given his current status and strength, he could easily have taken a more "respectable" path.

For example, one could accept official bounties by posing as a formal employee of Wanbao Tianting, or use Huo Qiling's connections to make contact with righteous forces.

But Su Jie has always been a pragmatic person; he doesn't care about the methods used, efficiency is the most important thing.

He chose the simplest and most direct method: he went directly to their door.

Over the past decade, he has destroyed 47 evil cultivation forces, 93 black mine strongholds, 168 cult dens, and countless robbery gangs and black market strongholds.

He investigated each family thoroughly, first looking at their karma, then at the cause and effect.

Those burdened by karma shall be killed without mercy.

Those who harbor resentment and grievances due to karma will not be spared.

Every person he killed deserved to die.

In his own words, "When I'm a bad guy, I only kill bad guys, because I'm the best guy in the entire Chaos Mother Sea."

The greatest achievement of these ten years was the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls Transformed into Evil.

Su Jie has killed more than 30 million people burdened by karma in the past ten years.

The vast majority of them were in the Eternal Realm, and there were hundreds of thousands in the Transcendent Realm, including more than a dozen sixth-order Transcendents and nearly a hundred fifth-order Transcendents.

Those evil cultivators had been entrenched in one place for countless years, their karma so dense that it was almost tangible. Every time Su Jie destroyed one of them, the core of the Myriad Souls Transformation Banner's karmic power would surge.

By the end of the tenth year, the number of sinful power cores of the Myriad Souls Transformation Banner had exceeded one million.

Millions of necromantic cores converged deep within the banner's heart, resembling a surging dark purple sea of ​​stars, each core containing terrifying power capable of corroding a true spirit.

Su Jie estimated that with the current power of the Myriad Souls Transformation Banner, the true spirit of a sixth-order transcendent being would be completely eroded in less than a breath.

Even a seventh-tier transcendent being can cause substantial damage by fully activating the Myriad Souls Transformation Banner.

The Soul-Devouring Pearl has also recovered a considerable portion of its power over the past ten years.

Each time the Soul-Devouring Pearl devours the true spirit of a transcendent being, its power is restored by one unit.

Over the past decade, the Soul-Devouring Pearl has recovered from less than one in a hundred million to one in ten million.

Although it may sound insignificant, it is important to know that the Soul Devouring Pearl is a primordial treasure that surpasses even the ninth-order Chaos Treasure.

Even a fraction of its power is enough to instantly kill a sixth-tier True Spirit.

Meanwhile, Su Jie's True Spirit Realm was also rising in tandem.

The infusion of a large amount of high-level true spirit enabled him to break through from the peak of the fifth-order true spirit to the peak of the sixth-order true spirit.

With a few more large-scale harvests, we might be able to break through to the seventh-tier True Spirit level.

With the combined strength of a sixth-order peak True Spirit and the foundation of a Tenth-Order Ancestral Venerable, he was able to walk sideways in front of any sixth-order Transcendent being.

However, Su Jie did not only engage in killing during these ten years; he also amassed a vast amount of resources.
