Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

Existing on the nine main timelines, as the primordial being born at the beginning, the Dao Ancestor holds an extremely high position, so high that He can vaguely perceive the truth of the world, the essence of the heavens and seas, and discover the existence of other branch timelines.

but……

The special feature of the main timeline lies in its fundamental nature, rather than its absolute power.

The main timeline is the source of all realms and the world created by the Supreme Being.

Nine main timelines, nine templates, which in turn give rise to an infinite number of timelines.

In addition to the nine main timelines, there are countless other beings on the numerous branch timelines, who are called Dao Ancestors or other titles.

They may be called the Ancestor of Tao, or God, or the Great Celestial Venerable...

They possess the immense power of the Taiyi Realm and exist in different forms such as Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu, and Taiji.

But they are not related to each other and each exists on its own timeline.

This is precisely why the Dao Ancestor's vision still had its limitations.

In the past, the Dao Ancestor had vaguely glimpsed the existence of other timelines, but he was unable to extend his power beyond the Origin Creation Realm.

He knew of the nine supreme beings and had communicated with the Lord of Reincarnation and the God Emperor of Origin, but he never discovered their special nature and regarded them as beings of equal status to himself.

The Dao Ancestor did not realize that reincarnation and origin are merely manifestations of the origin, not the true Dao of Reincarnation and the Dao of Origin.

They exist in the form of two great paths, reincarnation and origin, simply because the Supreme Beings felt that this was more in line with the honor they had earned for themselves.

Before the birth of civilization, the supreme had no name.

After the birth of civilization, the supreme being acquired its own prestigious name.

Their names are derived from beautiful words created by mortals and from the pursuit of great power by different civilizations.

Origin thought that it was named Origin, and so it became Origin.

Creation found the word "creation" pleasant to hear, so it became Creation.

Reincarnation thought the word "reincarnation" was beautiful, so it became Reincarnation.

They chose their own names, which could symbolize a certain concept or simply because they liked them.

The name is not permanent, but changes according to the highest thoughts.

Like the origin, before countless ages ago, it also gave itself the name of the end.

The highest power is nameless. If one must give the nine supreme powers a truly appropriate name, then...

"Tao", "One", "Source"...

These vague words are actually the closest description.

……

Because the will of creation influences the entire universe at all times, after the Lord of Reincarnation and the Origin God Emperor disappeared, the Dao Ancestor did not even have any doubts, nor did he investigate their whereabouts.

He ignored the disappearance of both and immersed himself in the exploration of the Great Dao.

Even the Dao Ancestor was unaware of this.

The five elements combined form "Taiyi".

Among the nine supreme beings, there is a great being whom the other supreme beings call "Taiyi".

Its power, when projected onto the infinite timeline, gave birth to beings like the Dao Ancestor.

This supreme being exists on all timelines, yet has not yet been born with its own will. It will be born after a thousand great cycles, becoming the fifth supreme being with its own will.

When that time comes, all the Dao Ancestors on the timeline will become the embodiment of the Great Dao, and will become part of "Taiyi", no longer possessing independent will.

……

The secrets hidden along the timeline are little known to the Dao Ancestor.

He did not know where the future would lead, but he knew that in the present moment, he saw a new future.

The eye contact with Mu An's true form made Dao An realize a truth.

The Nine Realms have never attained the "Great Luo Dao Fruit" that they seek.

What is here is the Supreme Being itself, not the ethereal and elusive Dao Fruit.

If one wants to obtain what one desires from this momentous event that is destined to affect the entire universe, one must "follow the will of Heaven."

Having gained a preliminary understanding of the "whole picture" of the matter, the Taoist Ancestor once again turned his gaze back to the Celestial Master.

He looked the old celestial master up and down carefully, and then spoke to him gently.

"If you want to use the Nine Realms as a foundation to create another world... your preparations are still insufficient. I can lend you a hand."

What appeared to be a mere inquiry actually left the old master no room to refuse.

After finishing speaking to himself, the Dao Ancestor took out a golden gourd from his sleeve.

"This pot contains three thousand grains of sand, which can transform into the sun and the golden crow. Consider it a gift from me to you."

Every gift from fate comes with a price.

The gifts given today will surely generate greater value in the future.

The Old Celestial Master didn't believe in the Taoist Ancestor's "good intentions" at all, but he was equally unwilling to miss any opportunity to improve himself.

As the Dao Ancestor said, compared to other great beings, his preparations were far too little.

If he wants to seize this opportunity and gain some influence in the Nine Realms, he must accept the help of the Dao Ancestor.

The old celestial masters born in the Nine Realms are insignificant, but the incarnation of the Dao Ancestor is respected by everyone.

Having understood the reasoning behind this, the Old Celestial Master accepted the gourd filled with Hengsha with both hands and bowed respectfully to the Dao Ancestor.

Seeing that the Dao Ancestor had no intention of continuing the conversation, the Old Celestial Master consciously retreated to a corner, giving up the stage.

His turn to appear in this grand drama has not yet come.

After dealing with the matters concerning the Old Celestial Master, the Dao Ancestor raised his head, surveyed the world, and took in the entire Nine Domains.

The purple-gold Daoist aura spread from the Four Symbols Mountain to the entire Nine Domains.

Every moment, boundless Daoist energy descends from the heavens, sprinkling upon the vast earth.

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is becoming increasingly active, and it has already appeared between Heaven and Earth in a form that is almost tangible.

This is a grand feast of heaven and earth, the prelude to the great era of cultivation, and the best time for enlightenment and spiritual practice.

In the increasingly active laws of heaven and earth, the Dao Ancestor saw the joyful beings of heaven and earth, the karma hidden deep within all spirits, and the Absolute Ancestor who was about to detonate the karma.

The Dao Ancestor's gaze flashed by, finally settling on Zhang Ming'an in the Taiwei Palace.

Looking at Zhang Ming'an, who was surrounded by endless laws of heaven, the Dao Ancestor nodded thoughtfully.

"It would be a shame to waste the karma accumulated over 300,000 years."

Without the Dao Ancestor making any move, the pool water underwent a new change.

The laws of the Great Dao flowed from the spring, transforming into a colorless lotus flower above the pool.

The lotus flower is only one meter square, with twelve petals, and it is pure and flawless, without a single foreign object on it.

As the colorless lotus rose into the air, the Dao Ancestor smiled at Zhang Ming'an, who was not far away.

"Since this realm is your training ground, young friend, it is truly impolite of me to have come uninvited. Today, I will use the karmic power of heaven and earth as the main material, supplemented by two junior cultivators, to refine a Karmic Fire Red Lotus as a gift for visiting you."
