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

Exchanging the change of an era for the expansion of the world itself is entirely in the world's interest.

As for the extinction of all living beings caused in this process, it seems less important to the world itself.

Old species become extinct, and new species are born; this is the way of nature.

Compared to the heavens and earth themselves, the creatures living on them are insignificant. Even if they were all wiped out, it would simply be a natural evolution of the heavens and earth.

Heaven is ruthless, regarding all living beings as mere straw dogs.

This statement does not mean that Heaven is heartless and devoid of humanity, but rather it hints at the essence of Heaven.

The so-called Way of Heaven is nature itself, which seeks nothing, has no direction, and simply evolves according to instinct.

To impose human values ​​on the Way of Heaven is the most foolish idea.

Birth and destruction are of no concern to heaven and earth.

Compared to the terrestrial immortals who have desires, the Heavenly Dao, which has no desires, is the most rational existence.

……

Mu An and the Old Celestial Master shared the same idea regarding destroying the meteorite.

Mu An didn't know what the future held, but at least for now, he couldn't sit idly by and watch all living beings and things head towards destruction, nor could he watch the Qishan Dao, which he had built with his own hands, be destroyed in an instant.

Compared to the supreme god, Mu An still retains human emotions.

Unlike the Celestial Master and the Mysterious Spirit Bodhisattva, who pursued the Great Dao as their sole goal, their good and evil deeds were all for the purpose of taking a further step on the path of seeking the Dao.

Beneath their selfish, indifferent, and ruthless exteriors, they are all seeking the Great Dao, and their actions align with the needs of their own Dao.

Mu An, who still retains a great deal of humanity, pursues the Great Dao, but occasionally does things that are not in line with the needs of seeking the Dao.

For example, what Mu An wants to do now is not simply to destroy the meteorite.

What he really wanted to do was to cut the meteorite in half, extract its essence, and build a heavenly kingdom high in the sky.

The appearance of the meteorite gave Mu An a new possibility: the possibility of establishing a divine kingdom in the sky.

The purest faith often arises from the most desperate people.

Mu An never planned to deliberately create calamities in the past; his attitude towards the world has always been to go with the flow.

He didn't intend to involve Qishan Dao, even though other forces were fighting tooth and nail for him.

If a war is launched to make Mu Ling'er ascend to godhood, even if faith arises from the despair of war, that faith will inevitably be complex and mixed.

It's impossible to predict what kind of god will ultimately be created.

The appearance of this meteorite, however, brings a new possibility: an opportunity to gather pure faith.

Faith born amidst great calamities is undoubtedly the purest and the best kindling.

With the faith of all living beings, the divine kingdom in heaven, and a certain amount of the world's origin... the possibility of successfully creating a god is maximized.

The price to pay is to use the power of the Book of Creation on a large scale, advancing the process of merging with the Book of Creation slightly.

After it ends, Mu An's humanity may be lost more quickly, but his cultivation will also leap forward, and Mu Ling'er will have a very high probability of ascending to godhood because of this.

This is the most likely chance to succeed, and the only chance to save her loved ones. Mu An doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

More than a hundred years ago, he could only helplessly watch as Xiao He and Xiao Lü left his side; now, everything is about to repeat itself.

He said he would never easily agree to anything.

……

On the other side, the Painting Sage had no idea what Mu An was thinking, nor did he know if Mu An really had the ability to destroy the meteorite. He frowned and whispered to the Old Celestial Master.

"Even if you have a celestial artifact in hand and are extremely powerful, and can really shatter a meteorite, how can you stop the fragments after the meteorite is broken?"

This star is 30,000 miles in diameter. If it were shattered, the resulting fragments would scatter in all directions, each piece being at least the size of a mountain range.

Mountains fall from the sky, and the resulting disasters can also annihilate all living beings…

Xuanling Bodhisattva stepped forward and looked up at the vast starry sky that was getting closer and closer.

A golden lotus with thirty-six petals appeared in his hand.

"The calamity has arrived, and there is no foolproof way. All we can do is try our best to reduce the harm caused by the great calamity and save more lives."

Saving all living beings is the greatest compassion; do as much as you can, without striving for perfection.

After Fellow Daoist Li shatters the star, this humble monk will do his best to intercept the falling fragments. At that time, we will need the assistance of Benefactor Wu and True Monarch Mu.

The three of us will work together to stop as many as we can and save as many as we can... We'll leave the rest to the other terrestrial deities.

In the face of this great calamity, as members of the universe, everyone should do their part.

Everyone present knew that Mu An was the one with the most mysterious and unfathomable methods.

However, from beginning to end, neither the Celestial Master nor the Mysterious Spirit Bodhisattva mentioned having Mu An destroy the meteorite. Their words implied that they would do the work themselves, as if they really intended to act according to the plan they were talking about.

Having made up his mind, Mu An glanced at the Old Celestial Master and the Mysterious Spirit Bodhisattva, and a plan formed in his mind.

Those two old foxes! Even in this situation, they still can't resist scheming!

With a sky full of meteors obscuring the sun, Mu An took a step forward, and with each step, colorful lotus flowers rose beneath his feet.

The calm voice echoed from the heavens.

"No need for that. I'll take the core of this star! The three of you, work together to stop the star fragments and try to guide them towards the Ruins of Return. I'm going to open another domain there!"

……

At the edge of the Nine Realms, Mu An, draped in a five-colored robe, stood in the void, with the phantom of the Book of Creation appearing behind him.

The approaching meteor was only a hundred miles away from him, and the world power belonging to the Nine Realms spread through the void.

Gazing at the colossal object with a diameter of 30,000 miles, Mu An appeared unusually calm.

When the power of the Book of Creation was bestowed upon him, Mu An transformed into absolute rationality.

His silvery-white pupils took in the stars in front of him and the nine realms beneath his feet, and he calculated the most suitable method of cutting them apart in the most rational way.

The absolutely rational Mu An did not draw Liu Yun as usual. He simply stood quietly in the void, raising his hand to make a gesture towards the approaching meteor.

Five beams of light appeared behind Mu An, each a thousand miles long, stretching out into the void.

An aura of supreme power emanated from Mu An, and silvery-white light merged into the five pillars of light.

The power of the five elements spread through the void, causing chaos to recede, and the illusory world constantly alternated between destruction and birth.

In the next instant, five beams of light pierced through the void and struck the stars directly.

"boom----"

Light, light everywhere, the entire void within the Nine Realms was covered in light.

The power of the Five Elements transformed into the sharpest blade, slicing through the stars and shattering the world-destroying celestial bodies into countless fragments.

The enormous star was powerless to resist and was instantly broken into countless parts upon contact with the radiance.

Countless fragments, trailing flames, plummeted towards the Nine Realms.

With a single strike, the cataclysmic calamity that had plunged all beings into despair was completely averted, and the true power of the Book of Creation was unleashed in the Nine Realms for the first time.
