I died young at the start, but I'm reincarnated with unlimited skill points!

The thirty-sixth year of the reign of Emperor Yuan of Han.

The thirty-fifth year since Su Yu ascended the throne.

In that year, the Great Zhou Dynasty officially fell to the Japanese.

It wasn't that the city gates were breached, nor that it was crushed by an army.

Instead, it was burned down by the life of an ordinary person for thirty years.

Chi Yuan held out in the Great Zhou for a full thirty years.

It lasts much longer than the Blood Crossing.

After all, he is at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, so his foundation is undeniable.

It personally intervened to suppress the pollution countless times, re-polluting the skies for tens of thousands of miles.

But every time it gets exhausted and has to go into seclusion to recover, mortals will bomb it again from a corner where it can't see.

Thirty years!

The mortals of the Great Zhou Dynasty used the lives of two entire generations to fight to the death against a Nascent Soul cultivator!

It patched up the east wall, but the west wall collapsed.

They patched the west wall, but the south wall collapsed.

Despite thirty years of attrition warfare, Chi Yuan's cultivation level has not declined.

After all, the foundation of a Nascent Soul cultivator is incomparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator, but its mentality has completely collapsed.

It finally understood one thing.

This is not a matter of ability.

This is a matter of quantity.

One person versus ten billion ordinary people.

Every day, mortals die and explode.

It cannot last longer than 10 billion people.

In the spring of the thirty-sixth year of the Han Dynasty, Chi Yuan summoned the remaining demons of the Great Zhou Dynasty and announced his withdrawal.

Unlike Blood Crossing, it didn't mince words about a "strategic shift."

It only said one sentence.

"Walk."

They couldn't even be bothered to give a reason.

On the day Chi Yuan left, the mortals of the Great Zhou capital keenly sensed that the terrifying pressure that had been pressing down on them had completely disappeared.

Without the demonic power of the Nascent Soul demon to forcefully suppress and replenish it, the rebellious anger that had been suppressed for thirty years finally launched its most decisive all-out attack.

Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people flooded the streets, sat cross-legged in front of the black iron spire, and unhesitatingly detonated their self-mutilation techniques.

Countless white pillars of light shot into the sky, transforming into an unprecedentedly vast and ethereal rain.

Under the frenzied purification of the spiritual energy storm, 70% of the demonic energy above the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom was completely dissipated within a short hour.

Without the support of demonic energy, the demonic array on those black iron spires shattered like bloodless bones, crackling and disintegrating into black debris.

The mortals of the Great Zhou Dynasty stood on the street, looking up at the sky above that was rapidly turning blue.

Many people knelt down.

Many people cried.

It's exactly the same as it was back then.

When Chi Yuan flew to the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he looked back from high in the sky.

Under the vast sky, the map of the Great Zhou Dynasty is turning blue at a visible speed.

It saw that blue expanse.

His vertical pupils suddenly contracted.

It recalled the mocking remark left behind by Xue Du when he fled like a stray dog.

"Lord Chi Yuan, the Great Zhou is the Great Zhou, and the Great Li is the Great Li."

"May you be able to control your mortals."

Chi Yuan closed his eyes briefly, then flew towards the boundary wall without looking back.

It did not seek refuge with the Great Yan, because the Great Yan was also about to fall.

It is going to a place even further away, a place so far that mortals can never set foot there.

Boundary edge!

……

same year.

The Great Chu fell.

The Golden Core demons of Great Chu did not have the same confidence as Chi Yuan to withstand thirty years of hardship.

After witnessing the mortals of the Great Zhou Dynasty committing mad self-mutilation for thirty years, it was utterly terrified.

It ran away in the third month after the large-scale outbreak of the mortal self-mutilation method and the situation was completely out of control.

Before running away, he didn't forget to loot all the millions of blood pills stored in the Blood Refining Workshop and stuff them into the entire storage magic artifact.

With these top-grade blood pills, made purely from the essence and blood of mortals.

It is enough for it to live a very comfortable life for hundreds of years, even in harsh environments without the support of demonic energy.

Then it headed south and disappeared into the depths of the miasma in the southern wilderness.

After the Great Chu, there were seven small kingdoms in the Western Regions.

These seven small kingdoms share a desert, jointly guarded by three late-stage Foundation Establishment demons.

The three Foundation Establishment demons held an emergency meeting immediately after the introduction of the self-severing technique to mortals and the news that even Nascent Soul stage experts couldn't withstand it and had to flee.

The meeting wasn't about how to suppress the rebellion, but rather where to run.

They didn't even have the thought of suppressing it.

The lessons learned from the past, such as those of the Great Li and the Great Zhou, were far too tragic.

The Qi Refining stage cultivators were all wiped out, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were almost entirely killed or wounded, and even the Nascent Soul stage cultivators were forced to flee in disarray.

How long can these three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators withstand the self-mutilation technique of mortals?

One day? Two days?

Are we just waiting to die if we don't run?

So the three demons abandoned the country and fled that very day.

Before the mortals of the seven small countries could even organize a large-scale detonation, the evil spirits had already fled.

There were no spiritual storms, no tragic sacrifices, and no bloody battles.

The evil spirit scared itself away.

This was probably the most absurd scene in the entire Cleansing War.

……

The 45th year of the Han Dynasty.

Su Yu is fifty-seven years old.

He sat cross-legged in the imperial study of Dali, fully activating the Emperor's Faith Law.

The faith of over a billion people in the Great Li Kingdom, coupled with the gratitude of ordinary people after the restoration of the Great Zhou, Great Chu, and various Western Regions countries.

The humanitarian spirit of hundreds of billions of people, transcending national borders and mountains and rivers, converged on Su Yu alone.

It was a power as vast as the ocean.

Under the continuous impetus and refinement of this power over the past decades, Su Yu's Foundation Establishment Great Perfection realm finally came to fruition, and he began his assault on the Golden Core stage.

Core formation.

This is one of the most crucial hurdles in a cultivator's life.

In his third life, Su Yu, with his foundation in the Earthly Path and the ultimate aptitude of a Grade 3 superior spiritual root, spent decades of arduous cultivation to condense a Grade 3 Golden Core.

An eighth-grade Golden Core was enough to place him in the upper-middle tier of the cultivation world.

But in this life, his goal is not the eighth rank.

It's not even a mid-grade Golden Core.

It is a first-class item.

The First-Grade Golden Core is recognized as the pinnacle of Golden Core cultivation, a legendary existence that is one in ten thousand.

Those who have achieved the Foundation Establishment stage in the Heavenly Dao have an extremely high probability of condensing a high-grade Golden Core.

In addition, with an extraordinary comprehension of 9999 points, his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth has reached his very bones.

The two are combined into one.

The process of forming the core proceeded without any unexpected events.

The extremely rich liquid true essence within the body began to rotate, compress, and condense violently in the dantian.

The density of the true essence increased, and its color changed from transparent to light gold, and then from light gold to dark gold.

A golden sphere slowly took shape in the dantian.

It is perfectly round and flawless, with a restrained golden light, and faint patterns of the laws of heaven and earth appearing on its surface.

The first-grade golden elixir has been successfully obtained!

The moment Su Yu opened his eyes, the spiritual energy of the entire palace trembled.

This is the universally acknowledged, and theoretically, limit of quality that can be achieved in the cultivation world.

He used to have to exert all his strength to reach the eighth rank, but now he easily formed a first-rank golden core.

But Su Yu did not show any sign of ecstasy.

He quietly gazed inward at the flawless golden elixir.

With his extraordinary comprehension, in the final moment when the laws of heaven and earth and the golden core were completely integrated and stabilized, Su Yu vaguely sensed a truth that contradicted the common sense of the cultivation world.

In the ironclad rules of the cultivation world, the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is regarded as the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment, and the First-Grade Golden Core is considered the end of Core Formation.

But is this really the limit?

Through the deduction and perception of extraordinary insight.

Within those so-called perfect law patterns, Su Yu could clearly see a trace of constraint.

The highest rank and the Heavenly Dao are not true perfection!

The highest level of Foundation Establishment is definitely not the Heavenly Dao!

Even the ultimate Golden Elixir is not of the first grade!

Above the Heavenly Dao and the First Rank, there is clearly a forbidden realm that is not recorded in ancient books and is even deliberately concealed.

With his current foundation and cultivation level, although he is not yet able to forcibly break through the ultimate shackles of the first grade to reshape the golden core and touch that unknown level.

But one can see through the lies of this world at a glance and understand the blind spots of the rules.

His vision had already surpassed that of all other cultivators in the world.

"Someday, I will go and see the view from there."

Su Yu murmured to himself, then slowly concealed the overflowing aura of the Golden Core.
