Land of Origin is entering its final phase, estimated to have only several billion Eras left before succumbing to desolation. These Emperors and Monarchs, unable to comprehend the complete Great Dao, must leave Land of Origin before its desolation.
Their current scramble for resources has also become more blatant.
It was Luo Feng who pushed for the rule “Great Sinners must die,” otherwise, the Godly Kings in Land of Origin cultivating Primordial Bloodline for not perishing with Land of Origin would increasingly devour billions of Creatures.
“The garrison duty in Heavenly Pillar Realm is up, and Luo He’s term has ended,” said the ruling Di Fu with a smile, “Naturally, a new Guest Elder should be selected. Gentlemen, feel free to recommend someone.”
Di Fu had the authority to appoint directly.
However, even Di Fu could forcefully appoint someone only a limited number of times for desirable duties. This time, Di Fu clearly put the task of Heavenly Pillar Realm up for competition amongst the other Emperors.
In the end, the duty still fell to Di Yan and their group.
Di Yan, Di Xi, and Di Wu joined forces, and considering Di Yuan is dead, and Emperor Qing stays out of it… with the ruling Di Fu not competing, their small group’s competitive power is the strongest.
Di Kong, Emperor Xuan, Di Jiufeng, Di Wu, Di You, Emperor Ming, and Emperor Chu – these seven were all somewhat independent and pursued their own paths.
“The next duty, the garrison of the treasure site ‘Heaven and Earth Maze’…” Di Fu continued.
One duty after another was established.
“The following duty is to guard the ‘Fire Prison Realm,’ which has cultivated various ‘Second Realm of Godly King’ strength Primordial Bloodline creatures. The guardian must be at least a Second Realm of Godly King,” said Di Fu. “Anyone interested in this task?”
“I’ll take the guardian duty of ‘Fire Prison Realm,'” Emperor Chu spoke up.
“That line of Emperor Chu’s is suitable for this duty, it would be Luo He, right?” Di Yan frowned, “He was just appointed the garrison commander of Heavenly Pillar, and now he’s heading to Fire Prison Realm. All the good duties go to him? We Imperial Clan controlling these Guest Elders must have rules! They must establish enough Merit Points through hard work before we can grant them appropriate benefits.”
Emperor Chu puzzled, “Isn’t guarding Fire Prison Realm a tough task?”
“Luo He cultivates the Life Path, well-known to all. The methods within Fire Prison Realm that cultivate Primordial Bloodline creatures contain many secrets of life; how can we allow him to peek into them easily?” Di Yan said.
Primogenitor Yan Feng cultivated Primordial Bloodline creatures, which could only stably cultivate ‘Second Realm of Godly King’ strength Primordial Bloodline creatures. Occasionally, there would emerge an Ultimate Realm Primordial Bloodline creature.
“I will take this duty,” Di Wu also spoke, “I plan to personally undertake the garrison of Fire Prison Realm to deeply study the mysteries of life.”
His cultivation was the Life Path, yet he had always failed to comprehend the Great Dao.
With Di Wu’s declaration, the rest could only leave the field.
When competing for duties, priority is certainly given to Emperors.
Moments later—
All duties were assigned, and the Emperors left one by one.
“Emperor Yan.” Di Fu stopped Di Yan.
“What’s the matter?” Di Yan looked at his old friend.
“Emperor Yan, you’re targeting Luo He so much… surely, Emperor Chu will also inform his disciple,” Di Fu said. “You’re setting up a grudge with Luo He.”
“It’s been a grudge for a while now,” replied Di Yan indifferently.
The trio of Emperors had long been allied, and they’ve been on bad terms with Emperor Chu, naturally involving Luo He as well.
“Moreover, the resources of the entire Land of Origin are limited,” Di Yan said indifferently. “Luo He’s talent is too high! If we don’t suppress him, he might charge forward more fiercely, snatching away the resources that should belong to us.”
“You couldn’t tolerate God King Zongfu in the past,” Di Fu shook his head lightly, “and now, you can’t tolerate Luo He either.”
“We have to go out into the Source World to make our way, fighting for everything!” Di Yan’s eyes were cold, “Our own strength must improve, and of course, we must suppress these powerful rivals.”
“You might suffer from causality backlash for doing this,” Di Fu warned.
“If we’re competing, why fear backlash?” Emperor Yan scoffed coldly, then departed.
Di Fu said nothing more.
“Based on detailed observations over the past five hundred Eras, I am almost certain that Luo He is that Galaxy Ruler,” Di Fu sighed silently, “Emperor Yan, your methods are merciless, but this time you’ve hit an iron wall.”
Time and again, Emperor Yan and the trio of Emperors acted, God Kings like Zongfu and Gui Xu fell one by one.
Some God Kings were extinguished along with their entire species!
Some were lucky with a few survivors.
The endless battle desire of God Kings Zongfu and Gui Xu was because their kin had perished.
Luo Feng also rose too quickly, with no conspicuous Secret Treasures displayed, so Emperor Yan and the other two Emperors had not taken action.
…
In Heavenly Pillar Realm.
In front of a towering Heavenly Pillar, Luo Feng stood carefully observing.
His observation was multi-faceted: on one hand, it was the distant watching through the Eye of Life and Death, on the other hand, the penetration of spiritual will, and also the perspective of an ordinary life form within the Braided Cage.
Observing from multiple angles, reflecting upon each other.
“Rumble~~~”
Through the Eye of Life and Death, Luo Feng ‘saw’ a surging, torrential black river, too fierce and unrestrained, sweeping everything in its path.
“This is some of the life mysteries within the Primordial Space, far more profound and vast than the ‘Great Dao of Life’ within the Supreme Rules,” Luo Feng pondered.
The Great Dao of Life within the Supreme Rules contains the mysteries of all life within Land of Origin.
But what about even vaster spaces?
Within the Primordial Space, countless Source Worlds are hard to enumerate, alongside many more myriad worlds—with massive numbers of Innate Primordial Life forms and even more mysterious unknowns…
The “mysteries of life” within Primordial Space are far deeper and more profound than in the Land of Origin.
“Thirty-six Heavenly Pillars, nine Great Daos, each Great Dao supported by four Heavenly Pillars, pointing in four different directions,” thought Luo Feng, “Senior Yuan and the others have indeed made painstaking efforts, these Heavenly Pillars are like lamps lit in the darkness, illuminating the path.”
Each Great Dao in the Heavenly Pillar Realm reveals four directions, representing the paths beyond the confinements of the Braided Cage.
“Brother Luo He, I have come to take over the duty of garrisoning the Heavenly Pillar Realm,” said a gray-robed elder upon arriving at one of the entrances to the Heavenly Pillar Realm, meeting one of Luo Feng’s garrison avatars.
“The thousand-Era term has come to an end; it’s time to hand over the duties. Follow me first to meet Emperor Xuan,” said Luo Feng.
To him, whether to garrison the Heavenly Pillar Realm or not was of little consequence.
His identity as the Galaxy Ruler allowed him to freely comprehend those thirty-six Heavenly Pillars within the Heavenly Pillar Realm.
“Alright.”
The gray-robed elder followed Luo Feng to meet Emperor Xuan and then officially took over.
Luo Feng had thus completed one of his tasks.
From this point forth, Luo Feng only had one remaining duty in Flame Wind Ancient Country—garrisoning Xiangjie City. Originally, due to his conflict with Yan Su, Luo Feng had been sentenced to garrison Xiangjie City for a whopping ten thousand Eras! There was still a long way to go until the end of his term.
…
Present-day Huyang City, now surrounded by five towering mountain ranges. These mountain ranges, like a massive formation, thoroughly protected Huyang City.
If there were any powerful beings capable of perceiving beneath these mountain ranges, they would discover… that the foundations of the mountains were even more colossal and interconnected to form an integrated entity, resembling a gigantic claw.
“Innate Secret Treasure ‘Palm World’.” Luo Feng, over these past five hundred Eras, had managed to acquire only one Innate Secret Treasure in the deep regions of the Dream Domain despite being powerful enough and having the Eye of Life and Death to observe.
This Innate Secret Treasure was a fuzzy little claw, naturally containing endless mysteries of Secret Patterns. Once stimulated, the palm of the claw would naturally form a world.
Luo Feng named it ‘Palm World.’
After Luo Feng refined and mastered it, he placed the small claw in the region of Huyang City. The five continuous mountain ranges that appeared above ground were merely the tip of the iceberg.
“On the Land of Origin, only a few could peek into the marvels of this Innate Secret Treasure,” thought Luo Feng, “Perhaps through this, they might guess that I am the Galaxy Ruler.”
Whether it would reveal his identity, Luo Feng was not concerned.
Initially, Luo Feng had planned to purchase a cave mansion class Array Formation Secret Treasure from Di Qing to protect Huyang City and to provide shelter for the headquarters of the Blade River Sect. But this Innate Secret Treasure proved to be a more suitable choice.
With only a partial activation of its power, Luo Feng easily brought the Innate Secret Treasure to the upper limit of the Land of Origin’s might.
“Indeed, the Dream Domain is miraculous, capable of naturally nurturing Secret Treasures.”
“Compared to this, the life forms in the Land of Origin are much simpler,” mused Luo Feng, walking through a wasteland. He observed the surrounding flora and trees, as well as the exotic beasts in the distance.
He saw through the source of life force of these plants and exotic beasts at a glance.
Everything drew from the energy source of the Land of Origin, absorbed by various creatures, as the creatures themselves grew stronger.
“What is cultivation?”
“Cultivation is finding ways to absorb more energy, causing one’s life form to evolve continuously. Under the operation that conforms to the Supreme Rules, life forms become ever more powerful…”
As Luo Feng walked, the nearby trees and grasses rapidly grew.
Trees shot up abruptly—one billion kilometers, ten billion kilometers, a trillion kilometers tall. As they ascended, these towering giant trees even began to develop consciousness; they started to ponder, to comprehend the universe.
Flowers and grasses also grew, either rooting into the earth or permeating the Void.
In the distance, exotic beasts were undergoing transformation—true god of void space level, eternal true god level, Primal Chaos Level, Godly King Level. Beast after beast directly evolved toward the Godly King Level, but their consciousness was too weak, their wisdom too low to control such massive physical bodies, which eventually exploded with a bang.
“I could enlighten them, but the prerequisite is that their spiritual will is strong enough to control such physical bodies,” Luo Feng shook his head gently, “Under my guidance, they could naturally evolve to gain a ‘Peak of Second Level of God King Realm’ body, but finding such a powerful spiritual will is difficult.”
“Master.”
The towering tree coalesced into the figure of an elderly man, who bowed respectfully.
A plant rooted in the ground also transformed into a woman, bowing respectfully.
There was also a bird-like exotic beast that took on the form of a young man, bowing respectfully.
All three of them possessed Primal Chaos Realm Strength, of course, having been enlightened by external forces.
“It’s not easy to create Godly King Level life forms,” Luo Feng greeted them with a smile, “The Great Dao of Life is infinitely profound.”
While collectively enlightening numerous life forms, Luo Feng had fully comprehended the Great Dao of Life.
The operation of the Great Dao of Life within the Supreme Rules no longer confounded him.
How does life arise?
How is it formed?
How does it grow strong?
How does it evolve?
Every mystery resides in the heart!
