Too many people are dying in this chaotic world? Then I'll activate the control panel!

Time flies by.

Since the forbidden zones disappeared, the Tathagata Daojun of the Western Pole has become an invincible force that intimidates the world. The Heavenly Court has truly achieved dominance over the world and is respected by all!

All sects and clans retreated into seclusion, and the Heavenly Court became the most prominent force in the world.

People lived and worked in peace, and no major events occurred, so time seemed to pass much faster.

Although there are always some ants and rats active in some corners, trying to stir up trouble and become true lords, the Heavenly Court, where the Western Tathagata Dao Lord resides, is invincible.

Any expert who dares to challenge the majesty and rules of the Heavenly Court, no matter how powerful, will only face certain death!

quickly,

The year was now 35 of the Chaotic Ancient Calendar.

This year,

There was a peerless genius named Chen Lu who, despite the Heavenly Court's decades-long suppression of various unorthodox cultivation methods, inherited the legacy of a fallen True Monarch and, despite lacking cultivation resources, still rose rapidly to prominence.

Now we're just one step away.

This genius named Chen Lu will be able to advance to the True Lord level.

For him, reaching the True Monarch realm was virtually an obstacle.

However, the Heavenly Court, being the most powerful force in the world, does not allow unruly cultivators to advance to the True Lord level at will, which has become Chen Lu's biggest obstacle.

The Heavenly Court's actions had already greatly angered countless cultivators throughout the world.

Over the decades, the accumulated anger has grown increasingly intense, leading to numerous disturbances in the world.

However, the Heavenly Court's power was too great, and these disturbances were suppressed.

under these circumstances,

Chen Lu actually openly declared,

"The Heavenly Court did this for the benefit of those rogue cultivators and hermits."

"The Heavenly Court is doing the right thing."

"The Heavenly Court's good intentions were actually to protect the safety of rogue cultivators."

After these words were spread, many rogue cultivators were so angry that they wished they could tear Chen Lu to pieces and grind his bones to dust.

Some mountain and river gods were also very dissatisfied, but they just watched coldly and did not intervene.

He's just a mere child, no matter how much he jumps around, how could he possibly overthrow the Heavenly Court?

As long as the Heavenly Court cannot be overthrown, these mountain and river gods will always stand on its side and never waver in their stance.

Just as many people were secretly preparing to ambush and kill Chen Lu,

Chen Lu announced his decision to be promoted to True Lord in front of everyone.

then,

Chen Lu, in full view of everyone,

Amidst the countless gazes of rogue cultivators who eagerly awaited Chen Lu's annihilation by the Heavenly Court,

Chen Lu began his assault on the True Lord.

"Fellow Daoists, behold the dragon's roar!"

After bowing to everyone, Chen Lu immediately began his breakthrough.

then,

The Heavenly Court's attack is coming.

Countless purple lightning bolts descended.

In an era where even those at the True Realm are extremely rare, and those at the Innate Realm are comparable to terrestrial immortals, the dense lightning bolts terrified many martial arts masters who have risen to prominence in recent years, making it difficult for them to imagine such power!

Chen Lu fought with all his might, struggling to hold on.

Several times he was on the verge of collapsing, but just as he was about to fall, he managed to stand up again.

The surrounding rogue cultivators were also feeling uneasy.

finally,

To everyone's surprise,

Chen Lu actually held on.

Until no more lightning strikes fall from the sky,

Chen Lu's position as the True Lord has been secured.

Chen Lu,

It actually worked!

Only by enduring the tribulation of lightning can one become a true lord!

Countless people watched with bated breath. They truly hadn't expected Chen Lu to succeed!

A celestial official of the Innate Realm arrived from the heavens, proclaiming the Heavenly Emperor's decree and inviting Chen Lu to ascend to the heavens to receive his title.

Chen Lu readily accepted.

Those watching were all dumbfounded.

then,

Thirty-five years after the chaos of the ancient calendar

It has become a convention.

Anyone who attains the status of a True Lord will inevitably face the test of lightning.

Some say, "This is not the Heavenly Court suppressing geniuses, but a test from Heaven."

This statement is accepted by most people.

Then, undergoing the tribulation of lightning became an essential path for all those who wished to attain the status of a true sovereign.

If you can't overcome it, then you're incompetent and deserve to die.

If you overcome this, you're a genius, destined for greatness!

The resentment of the scattered cultivators who were suppressed by the Heavenly Court and unable to break through was immediately relieved.

Even if one can break through, one can enter the Heavenly Court, enjoy wealth and honor, and ascend to heaven in one step.

This has attracted people all over the world to yearn for it and strive for it with all their might.

of course,

In reality, the above was a grand show put on by the Heavenly Court, who found a person in the Imperial Realm who was due for advancement and conspired with them to put on a show for the world.

Chen Lu is outwardly a rogue cultivator, but his true identity is Luo Zhengwen's biological son, whose real name is Luo Lu.

Luo Zhengwen was Wang Sheng's senior from his youth.

Although he was only a few years older than Wang Sheng, he got married and had children much earlier. When he left Ershui City, his son was already several years old.

Now, decades later, Luo Zhengwen's son, Luo Lu, has been found to have exceptional talent. With the full support of Zhen Ding Mountain, he has rapidly improved, and breaking through to the True Lord level is not a difficult task for him.

As the world became completely stable...

Countless independent cultivators are working hard to cultivate, hoping to one day join the Heavenly Court they dream of.

Even though many intelligent people saw through the Heavenly Court's act, who dared to say anything?

Meanwhile, the higher-ups in Heaven had already established a rule for the advancement to True Lord that outsiders could not know.

Only one True Lord can be promoted every hundred years.

Furthermore, the path one takes to advance to the True Lord must be the same as the path that the Western Tathagata Dao Lord has already attained to the Saint Lord level.

Otherwise, no matter how talented one is, if one wants to advance to the True Lord level, one will be struck dead by lightning.

Now that Chen Lu has attained the Great Dao, for the next hundred years, no matter how many people try to advance to the True Monarch level by undergoing tribulation, they will all die.

The year 95 of the Chaotic Ancient Calendar.

The world's population has more than doubled compared to a few decades ago.

Even many isolated islands in the eight seas have become inhabited.

Huangquanhai,

On a remote little island.

A furious roar suddenly rang out from the mountain on the small island.

Rumble...

Suddenly,

The entire mountain exploded.

Countless rocks flew wildly, submerging and covering several villages at the foot of the mountain.

"Why! Why! Why did this happen!"

Sima Changfeng's reincarnation in this life stood amidst the ruins atop the mountain, roaring towards the sky.

Having cultivated to the peak of the Imperial Realm, his face was contorted with pain and ferocity, and his gaze toward the sky was filled with resentment and hatred.

Since being killed by Xiji Yijian in the original Tianfen land, he has been reincarnated and rebuilt his cultivation many times.

Awakening past life memories takes anywhere from a dozen years to several years. After a little cultivation, he should be able to break through to the True Lord level.

However, he failed with every attempt.

The appearance of the lightning tribulation left him with almost no openings to exploit.

Wherever he goes, lightning strikes!

"I won't give up!"

"This world needs me! Those fallen ancient ancestors of forbidden zones will not have died in vain!"

"Those alien races from the Upper Cold Heaven and the Abyss Sea, those prehistoric beings, though they are dead, they must still be waiting for me to overthrow the Heavenly Court!"

"I won't lose! Absolutely not!"

"We'll see about the Western Pole!"

Sima Changfeng looked towards the distant Immortal Tomb.

Although his original body was killed by the master of the Immortal Tomb.

But now, they have a common enemy!

Only the Immortal Tomb can help him.

heaven.

The summit of Zhen Ding Mountain.

A terrifying, chaotic mist surrounded them, isolating them from everything.

At this moment, on the mountaintop, only two beings sat facing each other.

One of them is the Western Tathagata Daojun, Wang Sheng.

The other one, with rosy lips and white teeth, and a youthful face, looked like a child, but was actually the reincarnation of the true Yuanqing Daojun in the Immortal Tomb.

The two chatted and drank tea in a harmonious atmosphere, just like old friends, without any of the hatred and hostility that outsiders might expect.
