"A fool's dream!" Even the Guide Daoist found this statement laughable. All beings below the level of a sage are but ants—an irrefutable truth in the boundless ocean of emptiness!

"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Qin Chuan said no more, his eyes flashing with divine light. "But soon, you will witness this truth with your own eyes!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out a hand with long, slender fingers, containing a power as powerful as if the heavens and earth were splitting apart.

However, this palm strike was not aimed at Taishang and Jieyin, who were right next to it. Instead, it reversed direction and made a grasping motion towards the vast and boundless world of gods and demons outside the Zhuxian Sword Formation!

"Buzz—!!!"

The instant his palm reached out, an indescribable, enormous buzzing sound suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth, piercing through the blockade of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation and reaching the ears of every powerful being!

The entire world of gods and demons, the four continents, mountains and rivers, the nine heavens and ten earths, and the Netherworld Blood Sea all emitted a deep and magnificent roar as if they could not bear the weight!

It was as if the very foundation of the world had been stirred, and a dormant will was awakening!

The next moment, a scene that moved even the saints unfolded—

The boundless, dazzling, and human destiny, imbued with the beliefs and aspirations of billions of people, burst forth from the Immortal Qin Imperial City like a bursting dam, traversing endless space and surging towards the Immortal Slaughtering Formation!

At the same time, the Lingxiao Palace, which hangs high in the sky, also trembled violently. The vast heavenly fortune that originally belonged to the Heavenly Court and symbolized the order of the three realms and divine power seemed to have found its true master, broke free from its old shackles, and transformed into another magnificent torrent, surging in!

This boundless and all-encompassing fortune of Heaven and Man is, in essence, the sum of the vast will and power gathered from the survival, reproduction, struggle, and prayers of all living beings in this world of gods and demons since the beginning of time!

Its essence is vast and chaotic, and even sages cannot directly invoke or control it.

But at this moment, the Immortal Qin unified the human race, and Ying Zheng gathered the human destiny into his own body; he succeeded in rebelling against Heaven, the Heavenly Emperor changed, and the destiny of Heaven also changed accordingly!

With the support of Ying Zheng, the new ruler of heaven and earth, Qin Chuan gained the qualification to draw upon the primordial fortune of this world!

Endless celestial and human fortune converged, its momentum and energy far surpassing any supernatural power or magic, even causing the entire Zhuxian Sword Formation to groan and its array diagram to flicker!

The Tongtian Sect Leader and the Yuanshi Tianzun, who were engaged in a fierce battle, involuntarily stopped wielding their Qingping Swords and Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and turned to look at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

Only now did Jieyin and Taishang fully realize the truth!

It turns out that the ultimate purpose of the Immortal Qin's war of unification, a rebellious act against Heaven, was not merely to seize territory or power, but to gather the Heavenly and Human Fortune that was enough to shake even the Sages!

Under their watchful eyes, the seemingly endless river of fortune converged, compressed, and condensed wildly between Qin Chuan's fingers!

In the end, it transformed into a divine blade that stretched across the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, immeasurably large, seemingly capable of cleaving through chaos and restoring order to the world!

This divine blade is formless and intangible, not forged from gold or iron, yet it seems to contain all things tangible and intangible in the world; it is a concept, a rule, and a crystallization of will.

The blade displays a chaotic color, sometimes as clear as the sky, sometimes as heavy as the earth, and sometimes flowing with the colorfulness of the human world.

On the blade, light and shadow flowed rapidly, clearly reflecting the joys and sorrows, births, aging, sickness and death, love and hate of all living beings throughout history, across the three realms and six paths!

There is the sweat of mortals tilling the fields, the shouts of soldiers fighting on the battlefield, the loneliness of cultivators meditating in their caves, the true nature of demons howling at the moon, and the solemnity of gods performing their duties...

The faces, fates, hopes, and despairs of countless living beings flashed by in the flowing light of the blade, converging into a power that was both immense and extremely heavy, as well as extremely sharp!

"Gathering the heavenly fortune and transforming it into a single blade! Hahaha! Fellow Daoist, what skill! What spirit!"

Upon seeing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader was first taken aback, then clapped his hands and laughed loudly, his voice shaking the surrounding area, feeling extremely pleased!

He saw another possibility, a power that transcended the inherent understanding of sages!

"Indeed... a good method."

Even Taishang, Yuanshi, and Jieyin, who were their opponents, couldn't help but murmur their admiration from the bottom of their hearts.

They knew they couldn't possibly gather the primordial energy of a top-tier divine and demonic world and use it for their own combat power!

It's not that I'm unwilling, but that I'm unable!

It is a fundamental difference between ideas and paths.

Not only the saints within the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, but also all beings who have reached the Great Luo realm in the vast and boundless Void Sea that connects all the heavens and myriad worlds.

No matter where they were or what they were doing, they all sensed something and turned their gaze toward this world of gods and demons, where they saw the world-shaking divine blade in Qin Chuan's hand, formed from the boundless fortune of heaven and earth!

Within this world, sheltered by a soft, clear light, stood a celestial being dressed in palace attire, exuding an air of elegance and nobility. She was none other than the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

When she saw the familiar figure standing with a knife through the endless void, she was slightly taken aback, and a look of realization flashed in her eyes.

“It’s him… Qin Chuan…”

In the world called Qin Shi, she shed a tear of true emotion, moved by the entanglement of fate and the brilliance of humanity. That tear transformed into a young girl named Xiao Li, who had an inextricable bond with Qin Chuan.

Therefore, she naturally recognized Qin Chuan.

Feeling the immense aura emanating from Qin Chuan, a power that now required him to look up to him, and seeing the path he had chosen—like himself, willing to bow down and listen to the voices of all living beings, to protect those creatures whom many Great Luo Immortals regarded as ants…

A complex and unfathomable look flashed in the clear, autumn-water-like eyes of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

Finally, a genuine smile of immense relief and joy appeared on her lips.

That smile was like a warm and hopeful flower blooming in an endless, cold void.

At this moment, all the Great Luo Golden Immortals who had their eyes on this place in the endless void, regardless of their stance, path, or whether they were righteous or evil, good or evil, fell into a certain degree of silence.

They watched silently, waiting.

They awaited the outcome of this unprecedented strike, a strike that had gathered the power of all living beings in this vast world.

This strike not only concerns the final outcome of the war to confer gods in this realm, but also the reputation and fortune of several saints.

It will profoundly influence, and even directly determine, the new direction of power structure, philosophy, and order in the endless void sea for billions of years, or even longer!

Is it to continue maintaining the old order of the survival of the fittest, treating all living beings as straw dogs, and the constant dominance of the strong?

Or should we start from here and carve out a new path that gathers the power of all living beings, where the weak have a voice and even ants can shake the heavens?

All the answers lie after this sword falls!

Chapter 31 The Investiture of the Gods Ends, An Era Begins

Under the watchful eyes of all the heavens and myriad realms, countless beings, and endless great immortals, Qin Chuan held the divine blade that gathered the boundless fortune of the gods and demons of this world, and slowly slashed down at Taishang and Jieyin.

This strike is not only a torrent of the will of all living beings, but also the ultimate manifestation of Qin Chuan's own Dao and Law. It is the crystallization of his belief in traversing various realms, comprehending all laws, breaking fate, and reshaping order.

It is exquisite and pure, embodying the determination to shatter all illusions; it is vast and expansive, carrying the prayers and strength of countless beings.

This is a strike that only Qin Chuan could deliver.

It was a single, unique strike that pierced through the endless void!

The moment the blade flashed, not only the Great Luo Giants, but the light seemed to illuminate infinite dimensions, countless worlds, and endless beings. Regardless of strength or location, they all "saw" the trajectory of this blade in the darkness!

The world called "Xia Lan" is Jiu Gong Ling.

A figure wearing a bronze mask and exuding a profound aura was hidden among the crowd participating in the Xia Lan selection.

He was none other than the Bad Commander, Yuan Tiangang.

In the Dragon Spring Palace of the Bad Guys world, he fought against Qin Chuan and his apprentice. In the end, he broke through the void and left, unexpectedly arriving in this world.

He had assumed Qin Chuan would follow the trail, but after years of searching, he found nothing.

At this moment, when that blade of light, which seemed to have cleaved from the beginning of time and seemed to be opening up an eternal future, shone into his heart.

Yuan Tiangang's body trembled violently. His gaze, hidden beneath the mask, pierced through the barriers of the world and saw the figure standing with a knife, whose charisma was far greater than before.

"So... you've reached such a state..."

Yuan Tiangang murmured softly, his tone complex, a mixture of shock and realization, but ultimately transforming into an indescribable sense of pride and relief:

"Truly worthy of being... my most prized disciple."

Together with countless beings from all the heavens and myriad realms, he held his breath and watched intently as the sword fell.

"This cut..."

The Supreme Lord Laozi and the Guide Daoist, who faced the blade head-on, felt the most real and terrifying sensations!

Before the blade even arrived, a sense of dread, originating from the very source of life and the very foundation of the Great Dao, swept over their entire bodies, making even these indestructible Primordial Saints feel a chill run down their spines!

So, what they considered insignificant "ants" subject to endless cycles of birth and death could unleash such a powerful force—enough to shake the sacred path and threaten their very existence—when their wills converged and their strength united?!

The thought flashed through their minds like lightning. The two saints dared not be negligent in the slightest and instantly raised their cultivation to its peak, unleashing their strongest divine powers!

Despite his sorrowful expression, the guide's face was solemn and dignified, and his hands, clasped together in front of his chest, were slowly pushed forward.

With a single push, it seemed as if countless Buddhist kingdoms were born and flourished in his palm!

The monastery whispers, the Arhats preach, the Bodhisattvas manifest, and countless Buddhist disciples and believers appear in phantom form, all praising the Buddha and chanting the supreme scriptures, converging into a pure land of eternal bliss that transcends the sea of ​​suffering, attempting to resolve the anger of sentient beings with the power of supreme compassion and great vows.

The Taiji diagram beneath the feet of the Supreme Sage suddenly expanded, and the Yin and Yang energies intertwined and swam like two ancient dragons, giving rise to earth, water, fire, and wind, thus stabilizing the chaotic laws.

As light and shadow shift, it seems as if a complete nascent universe floats and sinks around it, with all things born from existence and existence from non-existence, cycling endlessly without beginning or end, illustrating the inaction and inclusiveness of the Great Dao's origin, seeking to contain and even eliminate this torrent of all living beings with the absolute order of the "Dao".

At this moment, the concepts of supernatural powers, magical abilities, and even time and space seem to have lost their meaning.

Only through the clash of wills and the confrontation of paths!

The clash between the two sides may seem to have occurred only for a fleeting moment within the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, but the ripples of their confrontation have already spread to infinite timelines and countless possibilities.

In every possible branch, the Blade of All Beings has engaged in countless breathtaking duels with the Way of the Sage.

And these countless collisions that span endless timelines are, in reality, merely a fleeting moment.

But in that instant, the outcome was already decided.

"Boom—!!!!!"

A terrifying, earth-shattering sound, as if the heavens and earth were being created or the universe was ending, resounded deep within the souls of all those who were watching this battle!

That was the lament of the great laws, the trembling sound of the old order being shaken!

The terrifying ripples from the collision slowly dissipated.

Even the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Yuanshi Tianzun, who were locked in fierce combat, stopped fighting at the same time, their eyes fixed intently on the core of the collision, eager to know the outcome of this fateful blow!

At the center of the ripples, the figures of the Guide and the Supreme Sage gradually became clear.

Their expressions were calm, and their eyes were even more gentle and peaceful than before, as if they had discovered some profound truth.

However, on their indestructible and flawless holy bodies, each was deeply marked with a clear knife scar!

The blood within the knife marks was not ordinary blood, but rather strands of holy blood, exuding a chaotic aura and containing shattered Dao principles, slowly flowing down!

A sage is unharmed and impervious to all laws.

Once injured, it means that one's own path is damaged and one's origin is injured!

In that ultimate clash that just occurred, a clash that spanned countless possibilities, they were defeated.
