After millions of years in the library, I became an Immortal Emperor.

"you……"

He was shocked, as if no words could describe the astonishment he felt at that moment. Someone was actually able to sever the power of time and forcibly extend the life of someone who should have already died.

"teacher!"

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and said.

Lin Fan smiled slightly and nodded.

He took a deep breath, and only then did he truly understand what the so-called "teacher" in Qin Ge and Qin Ming's words really meant.

This is an unimaginable, supreme being.

Even at his peak, he was no match for him.

The Dao Ancestor?

He felt a tremor in his heart, and his face already showed respect.

"You weren't meant to die."

Lin Fan spoke simply, his words causing the surrounding power of time to retreat, as if they were the words of a god, which even the laws of time had to obey.

"You saved my people, that is the cause; I have come today to continue your path, that is the effect. But from this day forward, you are completely bound to my human race."

"If humanity survives, you live; if humanity perishes, you die."

Lin Fan said this, and the Nine Lives God Venerable struggled to stand up from the large blue stone, then walked down step by step to Lin Fan's side and bowed down.

"Gu Yuan understands and is willing to serve under you, sir, to help the rise of the human race."

"As long as Gu Yuan lives, humanity will never perish."

He said it with a very firm tone, and Lin Fan smiled faintly and nodded.

Then Lin Fan reached out, and a peach blossom fell into his hand. Gu Yuan's gaze also fell on this peach blossom, and on it he saw the two great paths of wood and water.

The gentleman had also comprehended these two paths.

"Most people in the world seek enlightenment by learning from the achievements of their predecessors, studying their methods, and following the paths they have taken, but they are wrong from the very beginning."

"On the path of integration, we should learn from nature and take heaven and earth as our witness."

The peach blossom flew from Lin Fan's hand and landed between the eyebrows of the Nine Lives God, then sank into it. The Nine Lives God's expression changed, and he closed his eyes.

A world composed entirely of the essence of water and the essence of wood appeared before his eyes, and then he saw water giving birth to all things, wood transforming into all spirits, and the world evolving.

"call!"

An unparalleled will descended upon this starry sky, and the entire Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest instantly fell silent. All things were still, and everyone in the peach forest looked toward the place where the Nine Lives God Venerable was in seclusion.

"Could it be...?"

Ye Hongyu exclaimed in shock.

Nian Yuan's face lit up with excitement.

This was unlike the scene of destruction; she saw the peach grove stretching out, and all things growing—a scene of revival.

for a long time

"Whoosh~~~"

The sound of water suddenly echoed through the peach grove, and the peach trees grew wildly, transforming into ancient peach trees that had stood for millennia. Peach blossoms fell and drifted through billions of stars.

Countless creatures in the Nine Lives Sea looked up, all with expressions of shock.

"What is this?"

Someone reached out and took a peach blossom, and felt all the illness in their body instantly disappear. The peach blossoms spread across the starry sea and gradually fell all over the entire Nine Lives Realm Sea.

"The breath of life."

"The power of the Great Dao!"

They exclaimed in shock, then their gazes turned to the place they revered as a pilgrimage site, the residence of the Nine-Lives God, the Ten-Mile Peach Blossom Forest.

Peach trees grow against the starry sky, and that ten-mile peach forest becomes a hundred-mile peach forest, then a thousand-mile peach forest, and ten thousand-mile peach forest...

Outside the Nine Lives Sea, the Ultimate God Venerable, who held the Destiny Dao Weapon and cultivated the Heavenly Secrets Technique, looked at the instructions on the Destiny Dao Weapon in his hand with an expression of disbelief.

"How is this possible? This was a sure death situation, how could they have survived?"

With just one sentence, countless eyes turned to him. They too had witnessed the strange phenomena in the Nine Lives Sea and all wanted to find answers from him.

The Nine-Lives God is about to die; this is what he himself said.

"Absolutely impossible!"

He said, then took out the compass in his hand again, and a vast amount of star power surged from his eyes. The light of destiny flowed around him, and he was going to calculate the fate of the Nine Lives God once more.

"boom!"

The void before his eyes split open, and a magnificent scene appeared before him: a peach orchard stretching to the horizon.

A man stood amidst a sky full of peach blossoms, his aura surging wildly, a terrifying Daoist charm emanating from him, as he underwent a life transformation unique to him.

Flowers fall from the starry sky, all things revive—these are all extraordinary phenomena caused by the transformation of his life.

"boom!"

He saw purple lightning streak across the starry sky, striking the person undergoing transformation, and then falling into a hand as it struck.

There was another person in the peach grove.

His gaze shifted to that person.

"Sizzle!"

Outside the Nine Lives Sea, the compass shattered, and the person who cultivated the art of celestial secrets trembled and vanished, as if he had been erased by some force.

He left no prophecy, and didn't even have the chance to look back at this world before he died suddenly in the starry sky.

"Dead!"

Countless people were horrified.

"This is the backlash of the Heavenly Secrets Technique. He touched some forbidden existence and didn't even have a chance to retract the Heavenly Secrets Technique; he died instantly."

Someone trembled and said, "Just how terrifying is this existence? A supreme god-level being just vanished like that."

"A strange phenomenon occurs, and Sendai descends!"

In the ancient land of Wangyue, the Lord of Wangyue spoke, looking towards the direction of the Nine Lives Realm Sea, and couldn't help but be shocked.

"What a Nine Lives Divine Venerable! He actually defied the heavens and attained enlightenment through the path of fusion. It turns out that what the Dao Ancestor said was not false. This path can truly lead to enlightenment."

"But can you withstand the tribulation of a heaven-defying deity's ascension to immortality?"

He said that at this moment, not only he, but also many other people in the starry sky were watching the Nine Lives Sea, including the Lord of Tai Xuan who had traveled halfway there.

"Is he the first person in countless ages to attain enlightenment through the path of merging with the Great Dao?"

He said this, a serious look appearing on his face.

The Heaven-Defying God Venerable is already comparable to the Immortal Platform Realm at the Primordial Chaos Realm; what if he were to step into the Immortal Platform Realm?

"boom--"

This was a blood-red lightning bolt. To the group of people in the peach grove, they only saw a flash of blood-red light in the void before it fell into the peach grove.

It's too fast; it transcends time and space.

This is a calamity sent down by Heaven.

"Can the Nine-Lives God withstand it?"

"Sparkling Fire said, a hint of uncertainty on his face. This thunder was not as powerful as thunder in the world, but it was even more terrifying."

This is a terrifying lightning tribulation capable of crushing everything.

A crimson bolt of lightning struck, blasting open a peach grove and revealing the scene within. The Nine Lives God was seated there, undergoing a transformation of his life, seemingly oblivious to the passage of time.

But what blocked this world-destroying thunder was another figure.

He stood quietly in the peach grove, dressed in white robes, as all the thunderbolts struck him, turning into dust in his hands.

"this……"

Nian Yuan, Ye Hongyu, and the others looked on incredulously.

This is the Heavenly Thunder, a terrifying power capable of killing even the giants of the Sendai realm. It is said that if others were to withstand the tribulation, the power of the tribulation would be amplified several times over.

But this person accepted them all so easily.

"teacher!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the side. They looked to the side, and Qin Ge, Qin Ming, Ye Buzheng, Xin Huo, and Xuan Yuanming all bowed down to the figure in front of them.
