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

"You, junior"

The culprit, the Holy Lord, looked at the Imperial Weapon Mystic Mirror with a face full of fear and dismay.

Although the Holy Lord is known as the strongest person below the Great Emperor, he is at the peak of the eighth rank!

However, imperial weapons, which carry the original Daoist essence and Heavenly Dao authority of a ninth-order Great Emperor, are supreme treasures comparable to the Great Emperor's avatar.

Even with his overwhelming combat power and ancient foundation, he was still as insignificant as an ant in the face of a truly activated imperial weapon, far inferior to it!

The culprit, the Holy Lord, stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

Then he quickly took a breath and said,

"I wonder what brings you to the dark side of the universe, seeking me out specifically?"

The culprit, the Holy Lord, spoke sincerely and adopted an extremely humble posture, showing none of the domineering and tyrannical nature he had displayed before, who would suppress others at the slightest disagreement.

"If it's for the grudges and entanglements we formed thousands of years ago when we swapped bodies, I, the culprit, am willing to give up all my resources, opportunities, and treasures, paying any price to make amends for your losses, fellow Daoist! I only ask that you calm your anger and forgive past transgressions!"

His tone shifted abruptly, his expression becoming extremely solemn, carrying a sincere admonition and a hint of pleading, as he spoke in a deep voice,

"Fellow Daoist, remember this! This place is the dark side of the universe!"

"The divine might of the Imperial Weapon is boundless and has shaken the laws of eternity. Once fully unleashed, it will inevitably tear apart the dark side of the Heavenly Dao barrier, unleashing earth-shattering phenomena!"

"Such a terrifying commotion cannot be concealed at all; there's a very high chance it will attract the attention of a ninth-tier ruler!"

"A ninth-rank cultivator looks down upon an eighth-rank cultivator as if they were ants. Once the Dominator locks onto our causal trajectory, both of us will be doomed! Fellow Daoist, you must not act rashly!"

At this moment, the culprit, the Holy Lord, had shed his fierce and domineering demeanor and appeared exceptionally honest, kind, calm, and cautious. Every word he uttered came from the bottom of his heart and was a profound insight accumulated over countless ages.

Wang Sheng stood quietly in the dark void, his expression calm. Upon hearing this, he nodded slightly, his tone peaceful and composed.

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I had no intention of making things difficult for you."

"The grudges and feuds from thousands of years ago are nothing more than an interlude on the path of cultivation, like fleeting clouds, and are no longer worth mentioning."

His gaze was resolute as he looked directly at the culprit, the Holy Lord, and slowly revealed the true purpose of his trip.

"I have come to see you today specifically for one matter: I need your help."

"After this is done, I will give you the greatest reward—complete freedom!"

These four simple words struck the heart of the culprit, the Holy Lord, like a thunderclap.

The entire desolate and cold dark side of the universe instantly fell into extreme silence.

Only the chaotic currents of the dark side surged slowly and flowed silently.

The culprit stood frozen in place, remaining silent for a long time, neither immediately inquiring about the reason nor questioning the truth.

Having lived through countless ages and ascended to the pinnacle of sainthood, his experience and vision have long since seen through the illusions and the realities.

At this moment, Wang Sheng possesses a complete imperial weapon and has a strong foundation, giving him the strength to fulfill this promise.

He was trapped in the dark side of the universe for endless years, knowing the two deadly knots from which he could never escape.

Firstly, it was the shackles of the sovereign's will personally imprinted by the ninth-order sovereign of the intelligent civilization, which tightly imprisoned his physical origin and locked his foundation of the Great Dao.

No matter how much he exhausted his cultivation over countless ages to attack, tear apart, and refine it, he could not break free even slightly. This was the Heavenly Dao shackle of a ninth-order ruler, which eighth-order power could never break.

Secondly, there is the supreme deductive power of a ninth-order being.

Even if he manages to break free of his shackles and escape the dark side one day, his causal trajectory, spiritual aura, and the origin of the Great Dao will already be firmly engraved by the Ninth-Order Ruler.

No matter where they flee to in the vast universe, they will be instantly locked on and subjected to cross-domain pursuit by the rulers, ultimately unable to escape the fate of being suppressed and perished.

But now that Wang Sheng has the imperial weapon, things are different.

Wang Sheng's appearance broke this age-old deadlock!

The Mysterious Mirror is an orthodox supreme weapon, comparable to an emperor's avatar, and comes with ninth-order Daoist charm and Heavenly Dao authority.

As countless years passed, the shackles of will imprinted upon him by the Sovereign, worn away by the ages, had long since loosened and weakened, losing their former peak power.

With the supreme divine power of the imperial weapon, he was able to forcibly tear apart the shackles and break free of the confinement, helping him to completely escape.

More importantly, imperial weapons possess the supreme supernatural power to conceal heavenly secrets, hide cause and effect, and isolate deduction!

The strongest means of the nine-tiered rulers of the heavens is to overlook the Heavenly Dao, deduce cause and effect, and lock onto all living beings.

The Imperial Weapon transcends the conventional rules of Heaven and can perfectly shield itself from the detection, deduction, and tracking of ninth-order beings.

As long as he stays with Wang Sheng and remains within the domain of the Imperial Weapon, all his karma, aura, and trajectory will be completely concealed.

"Fellow Daoist, without my help, by the time you escape, it might be the end of the intelligent civilization!"

Wang Sheng said calmly.

The culprit, the Holy Lord, paused slightly in his hesitation.

immediately,

He realized what was happening.

Without Wang Sheng, the culprit would have died of old age and would never have been able to escape.

He had previously considered taking a risk and trying to escape the dark side by exchanging souls and being reborn in another's body.

Without the imperial weapon to conceal the secrets of heaven, even if one escapes briefly, one's own karma is still exposed to the ninth-order heavenly Dao.

With a single thought, the intelligent overlord could instantly find his substitute's true form, but in the end, he still could not escape being suppressed again and having his soul and body destroyed.

A moment later,

The culprit, the Holy Lord, trembled slightly.

He nodded heavily.

Said,

"What you've said must not harm my people!"

"That's natural!"

Wang Sheng smiled and said.

"good!"

The wicked Lord's Way.

hum...

The moment the words fell,

The Xuan Mirror, suspended in the void, trembled slightly, and a wisp of pure, brilliant, and supreme imperial light slowly flowed out.

The golden imperial light transcended all rules of the eighth rank, carrying the supreme authority of the Great Emperor. It instantly crossed the void and landed precisely on the bound hands of the Sinister Holy Lord.

Click!

A crisp, piercing shattering sound echoed throughout the dark side of the universe.

The invisible shackles of will that had imprisoned him for eternity, originating from a ninth-order ruler, were as fragile as paper before the pure imperial might. They crumbled and annihilated in an instant, vanishing into nothingness!

boom!!!

The moment the shackles shattered, a faint yet incredibly real pressure from a ninth-tier overlord suddenly and uncontrollably spread out.

slam-la-

The entire silent and still dark side of the universe was instantly engulfed by a monstrous wave of chaos.

Like a thunderbolt suddenly crashing down on a tranquil lake, layers of Dao patterns rippled wildly, spreading outwards and engulfing every inch of the dark side.

Countless forbidden creatures, ancient beasts, and remnant evil spirits lurking in the dark side of the universe trembled with fear and instinctively fled in terror from this leaked residual power of the sovereign, daring not to linger for even a moment.

at the same time,

Intelligent civilization

A primordial cosmic city, spanning billions of stars, forged from countless stellar origins and woven from billions of mechanical runes, floats silently in the center of the starry sea, awe-inspiring all races and suppressing all heavens.

Inside the most central and deepest forbidden chamber beneath the main city, the Heavenly Dao core array base, which had been dark and silent all year round and never opened, suddenly shone with a dazzling light!

Countless colorful Heavenly Dao runes, mechanical Dao patterns, and life laws flowed, intertwined, and swirled wildly, instantly filling the entire secret chamber with a vast and boundless ninth-order aura.

A vast, cold, and emotionless grand will slowly awakens and emerges in the world.

"The culprit has broken free from its confinement and escaped the dark side of the universe."

This is the supreme ruler of intelligent civilization—the primordial machine and the ruler of life!

It is the origin of all mechanical life, machine repair, and ship repair.

It is the soul of the entire intelligent civilization!

And it is also the one that controls the ultimate treasure of intelligent civilization—the perpetual motion machine!

The moment the Primordial Sovereign's will awakened, another fierce and domineering Sovereign's will responded instantly.

He is the God Star Ruler who personally suppressed the wicked Holy Lord for countless years!

"I will set off immediately to hunt down the culprit and bring him back to justice!"

The Divine Star Ruler, filled with fighting spirit, instantly mobilized the star domain's combat power, intending to tear through the void and launch an expedition.

But the next moment,

All its movements suddenly froze, and it did not move.

It exhausted the power of the ninth order of deduction, overlooking the Heavenly Dao, tracing cause and effect, and searching for the divine soul, only to discover that...

All the causal traces, divine soul aura, and Dao imprints of the Sinister Saint Lord vanished into thin air!

No trace of it can be found between heaven and earth and the way of heaven!

"A ninth-tier being is helping him!"

"Lord Origin! Please summon the most precious treasure of civilization!"

"The God Star Ruler said coldly."

The reason why the supreme treasure of civilization is not called the imperial weapon or the supreme divine weapon is because its power is terrifying, worthy of the title of supreme treasure, and surpasses the imperial weapon by half a level!

Ninth-order beings are invincible in the universe, capable of breaking through space and time and residing permanently in the world.

However, there is one thing they still cannot do, and that is, they cannot know what exists outside the universe.

Beyond the universe lies chaos and nothingness, which should not exist.

But the ninth-order beings do not believe that the ninth order is the limit in the world.

Therefore, some of them are trying every means to find a way to surpass the ninth rank.

Thus, the treasure of civilization emerged.

This treasure was created by stealing the primordial power of the universe. It can only be used within this universe, and its specifications are extremely high, making even the Great Emperor wary of it.

The ultimate treasure of intelligent civilization is the perpetual motion machine, which is said to have unlimited energy and will never run out.

Although the Great Emperor possesses terrifying combat power, he can break through space and time, traverse the river of time, and tread upon all the heavens and the universe, making him invincible in every era.

But the Emperor is not infinite!

Their power will eventually come to an end.

Therefore, the emergence of perpetual motion machines is of great significance to ninth-order beings. As long as they continue to confront each other, they can surpass the Great Emperor within a certain period of time.

This is the terrifying aspect of the treasures of civilization.

It has the potential to surpass the ninth rank, but because it can only be used within this universe, it can never reach a level beyond the ninth rank!

"Just a holy ruler! Is it really worth using the most precious treasures of civilization?"

One of the rulers objected.

"But the one who helped it was a complete stranger, a ninth-tier expert!"

"An unfamiliar ninth-tier power has invaded our intelligent civilization!"

The God Star Ruler said indifferently.

"alright!"

"They've already gone to the Holy Martial Civilization!"

The Primordial Ruler interrupted.

Obviously,

Just now, the Primordial Overlord used the treasure of civilization to vaguely locate Wang Sheng and others based on the aura of the Sinister Saint Lord.

"Why did the Holy Martial Civilization take the culprit away?"

The God Star Ruler's emotions suddenly fluctuated, and he muttered to himself.

"Intensify the offensive against the Holy Martial Civilization!"

After a long silence, the Primordial Ruler spoke.

Negotiate with the Holy Martial Civilization to demand people?

That's impossible!

After such a long war,

To negotiate over a holy lord is simply treating civilized warfare as a child's game!

Therefore, in order to retaliate, they had no choice but to intensify their attacks on the Holy Martial Civilization.

The original ruler of the planet God Star, who was quite pessimistic about civilization wars, immediately volunteered to go to the front line to fight!

The culprit, the Holy Lord, has an eternal and irreconcilable feud with him!

Back then, it was he who personally suppressed the culprit in the dark, branded him with shackles, and imprisoned him for eternity.

He knew the culprit's talent and potential better than anyone else.

This person had already reached the pinnacle of the eighth rank, and was only one step away from touching the threshold of the ninth rank.

Having escaped today, with the help of powerful beings from beyond the realm and the concealment of heavenly secrets, once he breaks through the shackles and ascends to the position of ruler, the first one he will kill will undoubtedly be the ruler of the divine star!

Releasing a tiger back into the mountains will lead to endless trouble!

If we don't nip it in the bud today, we will surely suffer annihilation in the future!

Therefore, just in case, the God Star Ruler must personally kill the culprit, the Holy Lord, as an enemy, or capture him and continue to suppress him.

While the intelligent civilization intensifies its offensive against the holy martial civilization...

Wang Sheng's insectoid saint avatar had already crossed realms to come as instructed by his master, using the Imperial Weapon Mystic Mirror and the Azure Mystic Imperial Law as bargaining chips to persuade the insectoid overlord to form an alliance to jointly resist the Holy Martial and seek opportunities.

The Zerg civilization is inherently warlike and greedy, and has long coveted the resources, treasures, and traditions of the top civilizations.

Upon hearing the offer and proposal brought by Wang Sheng's clone, the Zerg Overlord immediately became interested and detained the Zerg clone as a causal deposit and a certificate of alliance, placing him under house arrest in the Zerg core star region.

Originally, the Zerg were merely waiting for an opportunity to act and observing the battle.

But now that they know that Wang Sheng possesses a complete imperial weapon, the orthodox inheritance of the Azure Profound Emperor, and has mastered the Great Dao of Perilous Realms, a heaven-defying Great Dao, many insectoid overlords instantly feel extreme greed!

That perilous path was truly astonishing!

Emperor Qingxuan fought against five opponents single-handedly, a fact that is evident to all!

With Wang Sheng's clone present, and considering the greatest and deepest cause and effect, the Zerg used their civilization's most precious treasure to vaguely determine that Wang Sheng and his group were probably in the Zhao Clan's star field.

Although the exact location is unclear, we might be able to find it once the fighting begins.

They need to intensify their offensive and also directly seize the Xuanjing.

Upon hearing that the Intelligent Civilization and the Zerg Civilization had intensified their offensives, and with Wang Sheng's dark clone leading the way, the Dark Civilization was unwilling to be outdone and decided to join the war.

The Imperial Weapon Mystic Mirror is just the starting point.

The real core scheme is to use the old grudges of the Qingxuan Imperial Clan and Wang Sheng's involvement to exert full pressure, stir up the internal structure of the Holy Martial Civilization, intensify its internal divisions, and create internal strife and rifts!

As long as the Holy Martial Civilization collapses internally, its people are scattered, and its defenses are broken, the three major civilizations can take the opportunity to divide up the Holy Martial territory, plunder the resources of the heavens, and swallow the foundation of the Great Dao, thus establishing their civilizational hegemony in one fell swoop!

As for Wang Sheng, he didn't care at all about letting the wolf into the house!

Many emperors of the Holy Martial Civilization turned a blind eye to Tai Xuan and others abandoning Qing Xuan, so why should Wang Sheng care about the rise and fall of the Holy Martial Civilization?

Whether it's the Holy Martial Civilization or the three major civilizations, they are all his enemies.

This is nothing more than using someone else to do the dirty work, a dog-eat-dog situation.

If one day Wang Sheng becomes emperor and does not possess the power to cleanse the universe, he will establish a forbidden zone on his own and will not help anyone!

If he can crush all the emperors and rulers, then he will help these civilizations and help them be converted!
