112: The Immortal Dao Era Begins

“Good heavens, as a local deity, when the Vast Great Thousand World faced difficulties, you were swept up by the world's instincts to save it.

What kind of world can you save?

At most, you only possess the power of the third stage of Divine Being.

Any Profoundly Marvelous and Sacred can kill you.

What kind of world are you saving? What does it have to do with you!”

“You were extremely unwilling to get involved in this world-saving task, but to save your own life and to continue sleeping, you reluctantly participated in this Divine Being world-saving activity.

However, you didn't actively take on more burdens, only acting within your capabilities.

You gathered the shattered fragments of the world, took root in it, and consolidated a region.

You also protected the living beings within that region.

This world-ending catastrophe lasted for a very long time.

Under the world's inherent drive, some Divine Beings, whose minds were clouded by the power of the tribulation, were forced to choose to become part of the dao to fill the world's voids.

The nine former Divine Marvels, who were barely clinging to life, essentially lost the ability to move in the future after this ordeal.”

“The Star Sea, the Heavenly Realm, the Vast Continent, and countless smaller worlds surrounding Vast were scattered and divided.

The immense and boundless Vast Continent was also shattered into seven major plates.

The Vast Great Thousand World finally survived the brink of destruction.

However, it was divided into countless world fragments.

The Zixiao Heavenly Court suffered heavy losses.

Less than one in ten Divine Beings survived, and it no longer had the ability to directly rule the entire Vast Great Thousand World.

The surviving Divine Beings were also licking their wounds.”

“At the same time, the inherent consciousness of the Vast Great Thousand World receded into seclusion.

The spiritual energy of the heavens dissipated rapidly, and Primordial Creatures no longer had the possibility of being born.

Postnatal Living Beings would become the norm of the world.

You suddenly became one of the top Divine Beings in this world, so suddenly that you were almost invincible.

The Jade Emperor and several Great Emperors might not have died, but they were definitely severely injured by the backlash.

The fragments of the Vast Great Thousand World you gathered also became one of the seven great realms of the Vast Great Thousand World.

There were even Divine Beings who fell into the world and entered a deep slumber.

You counted carefully, a total of six.

They were all almost dead.

And their strength was definitely not something you could overcome.

You finally felt at ease.”

“From this moment on, although the Zixiao Heavenly Court still governed three Vast Great Realms, it was unable to extend its authority outwards.

Good opportunity!

Although it was now ‘divided,’ and the ‘house’ was not as comfortable as before.

But the quality of sleep would definitely improve.

At least there were no longer as many bloody sacrifices as before.

Since this great realm was already your territory, renaming it the Heavenly Light Great Realm was also very fitting.

Before the battle in the sky, you had already randomly cast ten dao heart tree seeds.

Now, you cast three more into the Heavenly Light Great Realm, hoping that peerless figures would emerge to transform this world and bring new life!”

“Ninety thousand years have passed since the outsider from beyond the heavens destroyed the Vast Great Thousand World.

You haven't slept for nearly a million years.

Now, you finally welcomed the long-awaited slumber…”

“Ten thousand years after you began your slumber, the Heavenly Light Great Realm underwent immense changes.

Although the legend of the outsider from beyond the heavens, the world-destroying demon, was deeply ingrained in people's hearts.

Vast was shattered because of it, but the martial arts it taught were sporadically passed down.

The world's inherent repulsion caused the culprit of the apocalypse, making martial arts cultivation extremely difficult.

But there were also brilliant individuals who took the first step.

The myriad Postnatal Living Beings, in the process of cultivation, unconsciously evolved towards the most suitable form for martial arts.

On the land, an unknown number of humanoid beings appeared.

Power developed, and wisdom accumulated.

Next came the struggle for dominance. The legends of the Divine Beings gradually faded, but the struggle for dominance among races began.

Perhaps living beings, as an existence, can never truly settle down!

The seven great realms of Vast each had their own developments.

After the Divine Beings went into seclusion, Postnatal Living Beings finally displayed their true brilliance.”

“One hundred thousand years into the Heavenly Light era, a species called humans was born on this continent at an unknown time.

Naturally weak, but skilled in intellect.

They knew how to forge weapons and use schemes.

Gradually, they grew from weak prey to a dominant force.

Martial arts were more suitable for the human race!

But under the suppression of Vast.

Martial arts cultivation generally topped out at the third stage.

Human lifespans were short, unable to live as long as those races that could live for thousands or tens of thousands of years without cultivation.

If it weren't for the fact that each generation of human martial arts practitioners generally achieved the third stage, they would not have been able to become a dominant power.

But they were still eyed with hostility and covetousness by many other Postnatal Living Beings.”

“The origin of the human race was a combination of the Fire Ancestor's last undying flame, the divine blood of the fallen outsider from beyond the heavens, and the source of creation's water, further nurtured by the world's primordial energy, making them the last Primordial Creatures.

However, Vast did not favor the human race.

Human lifespans were limited.

This might be retaliation against the outsider from beyond the heavens, or perhaps it was the world's instinct to evolve further.

The species of humans appeared simultaneously in all seven great realms.

In unnoticed corners.

This was very strange, but none of the Divine Beings found it unusual.

Perhaps when you awaken, you will discover this phenomenon.”

“One million years into the Heavenly Light Realm, various living beings prospered, and the silent world finally regained its unique splendor.

Around the seven great realms of Vast, countless living beings were born in the myriad small worlds.

Each developed unique civilizations.

And also explored various paths of cultivation.

Martial arts were too difficult; very few beings could achieve the third stage of martial arts.

As for the fourth stage, almost no one could achieve it.

So, living beings sought other paths of cultivation, some of which, when cultivated to the peak, were several times more powerful than the third stage of martial arts!

Thus, over time, martial arts gradually became an ancient lost art.

From being popular for a time, it was slowly abandoned.”

“One million seven hundred forty thousand years into the Heavenly Light era, the Vast Great Thousand World entered the era of immortal cultivation!

The cause was not in the seven great realms of Vast!

But in a star world that was almost forgotten.

It was the star world that the Star Mother once gifted to you.

You once left a dao heart tree seed on it.

On Tiangguang Star, an elderly human, in his later years, unexpectedly embarked on a miraculous journey.

He had a profound dream, dreaming that he was a cloud spirit, carefree and at ease.

He dreamed that he was a Carefree Immortal!

What is an immortal?

After a profound dream, the old man fell into an epiphany.”

“At the brink of death, he discovered a certain substance within his body and refined the first wisp of qi!

He defined his realm as the Qi Refining stage and that unique substance within his body as a spiritual root.

From then on, an old man began his journey of immortal cultivation.

The old man was always a late bloomer, always breaking through to new realms at the brink of death.

With Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul, the old man continuously progressed, and a wave of immortal cultivation swept across Tiangguang Star.

The old man was surprised to find that most living beings had this spiritual root substance within their bodies, and each being's spiritual root was unique.

Some represented multiple spiritual energy elements, while others represented only a single element.

Both had their advantages and disadvantages, but relatively speaking, there wasn't too much difference.”

“The old man seemed to have divine assistance, transforming from an old man to an immortal in ten thousand years.

He only took ten thousand years to complete the immortal path!

Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, Void Refinement, Mahayana, harmonizing with the laws of the dao to become a Carefree Immortal!

The old man ascended from Tiangguang Star to the Heavenly Light Great Realm.

He thought he had ascended to the Immortal Realm.

As a result, he felt that the civilization of the Immortal Realm was not even as good as Tiangguang Star!

The old man was greatly disappointed!”
