Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

Xia Jin was slightly taken aback, but didn't say anything. She simply bent down, helped the avatar up, and led him away from the dark land that had been shattered by the Heaven-Opening Axe.

When the two reappeared, they were already above the boundless sea.

By this time, the surface of the Boundless Sea had already turned black, and the air was still filled with the lingering stench of blood.

Pieces of broken black armor and shattered weapons floated on the distant sea, proving that a fierce battle had just taken place here.

However, this battle is now over.

Xia Jin's gaze swept across the battlefield, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

The 100,000 Allied soldiers, though all wounded and their armor tattered, all shone with a unique, fervent light of victory in their eyes.

In this battle, the Heavenly Alliance army annihilated all the Dark Army in the area at almost no cost.

The dark army, having lost the leadership of the three Dark Ancestors and the presence of the pseudo-mythical Thousand Eyes, was completely disorganized and leaderless under the onslaught of the three demon kings, including the White Ape King. They fought independently and were defeated one by one after being divided, surrounded, and destroyed.

"You did a good job. You didn't disgrace the Heavenly Alliance!!" Xia Jin's voice suddenly echoed throughout the entire battlefield.

The White Ape King and the others were the first to turn around. When he saw Xia Jin appear in the void, his face lit up with ecstatic joy.

"My lord! You've finally returned! But what about the three progenitors of darkness..."

"Those three Dark Ancestors have already been slain by me."

"After you have rested and recuperated, you can then completely wipe out the Dark Lands and eradicate those remaining evil forces!"

Nine-Headed King and Black Wing King exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.

The White Ape King was the first to react, immediately kneeling on one knee and shouting, "Yes, sir!"

The Golden-Winged Roc King and the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon King followed closely behind, kneeling down in unison.

Immediately afterwards, 100,000 Allied soldiers knelt down simultaneously like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, causing the entire Boundless Sea to surge with high waves once again.

"Yes, sir!!"

After this battle, the reputation of the Heavenly Alliance Army resounded throughout the universe.

In the days that followed, the White Ape King and the other three demon kings led the Heavenly Alliance army directly into the Dark Land.

The remaining forces of the Dark Lands, having lost their leaders, were forced to retreat under the overwhelming offensive of the Heavenly Alliance Army, and were no longer able to fight back.

In the first year after the war ended, the outer defenses of the Dark Lands were completely wiped out.

In the third year, the banners of the Heavenly Alliance were planted all over the Dark Land.

Thus, the darkness that had shrouded the universe for countless millennia finally vanished completely.

Time flies, and years pass like an arrow.

The third century after the Great War.

Within the Boundless Sea and Sky Alliance, the Hetu Luoshu slowly rotated between Xia Jin's brows. The black crystal that had been suppressed had already been refined to the point of being eight or nine tenths, and the remaining core was transforming into streams of primordial power, flowing through his meridians and cleansing his limbs and bones again and again.

His aura had remained at the peak of the Mythical Realm for a full two hundred years.

On this day, when he completely refined the last wisp of dark origin, the entire Heavenly Alliance trembled violently.

Above the nine heavens, raging clouds rolled, and chaotic lightning roared and weaved through the clouds like a raging dragon.

Xia Jin suddenly opened her eyes.

Those eyes held neither dazzling golden light nor thunderous force, but rather a chilling calm.

It was as if he had become a part of this universe, and every gesture he made exuded a natural and endless flow of Daoist charm.

The shackles of the mythical realm shattered silently within him.

He exhaled softly, and that breath landed in the void in front of him, transforming into thousands of stars that flickered and shimmered, instantly evolving into a miniature starry world.

"Finally... I've broken through."

Xia Jin slowly stood up, put her hands behind her back, and looked at the countless stars in her eyes.

Two hundred years have passed.

The fifth hundred years after the Great War.

Xia Jin walked alone through the deepest part of that dark land that had long been completely occupied by the Heavenly Alliance Army.

After successfully breaking through the shackles of the mythical realm, he had a vague feeling, as if it were guiding him.

He descended through the darkness, passing through countless layers of shattered dimensional barriers, until finally, in a core area shrouded in layers of chaotic energy, he found a huge spherical crystal that emitted a soft white light.

The Heart of the Universe!!

This is the source of all laws and energy in the universe.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xia Jin poured all her strength into the Heart of the Universe.

The next second, he was pulled into the huge crystal.

Six months later, an extremely mysterious aura emanated from the heart of the universe. It was at this moment that Xia Jin truly became the master of this universe.

His will could simultaneously encompass every star in this universe; all things in heaven and earth were within his grasp. He could also mobilize all the available power in this universe in an instant.

His strength in this universe has truly reached a level that is unprecedented and likely to remain so.

Even my past self would seem like an ant compared to my present self.

Three hundred years later, which was the eighth hundred years after the great war with the Dark Lands.

Suddenly, the stone statues enshrined by the Heavenly Alliance emitted a life force.

Three aged yet somewhat familiar figures slowly emerged from the shattered stone shell.

The Three Pure Ones of Taoism!!!

The white-haired old man at the head of the group wore a purple-gold crown and a Taoist robe with the Eight Trigrams. Although his aura was still weak, he already possessed a certain charm of the simplicity of the Great Dao.

He looked at Xia Jin, who stood on the high platform with her hands behind her back, and bowed.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for allowing us to see the light of day again!!"

The Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun and Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun beside them also nodded slightly.

Xia Jin looked at the Three Pure Ones of Taoism from her previous life's mythology, and a smile slowly appeared on her face.

"We're family, no need for formalities. I'm already aware of the whole story! Once you've recovered your cultivation, I'll personally accompany you on this journey to reclaim that universe."

Taiqing Daode Tianzun was slightly taken aback, then exchanged a glance with Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun and Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun beside him, and a complex expression appeared in the eyes of the three of them.

That was the relief of finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel after going through countless tribulations.

Taiqing Daode Tianzun bowed to Xia Jin again.

"good."

End of global operations.
