Chapter 1321: Heavens' Assembly, Establishing the Rules

"Are we to formulate the method by which Saints attain enlightenment in the era of the Chaos Myriad Worlds?"

Rong Cheng was somewhat nervous. "The 'Multiverse Saints' governed the nine great universes according to their enlightenment rules... Are the 'Myriad Worlds Saints' now being formulated to establish the Dao rules governing the 129,600 universes?"Previously, there were Multiverse Saints. Now, for the Myriad Worlds, will there be Myriad Worlds Saints?

"Precisely. The rules still need to be formulated," the Destroyer God said indifferently. "Throughout history, the rules of the grand universe have been created and perfected by living beings across successive eras... Currently, no one knows the future of the Myriad Worlds, nor are there any stable rules. Therefore, they naturally need to be reformulated... This is a major trend fraught with variables."

"Can we not seek enlightenment through you? You control all the current universes," Emperor Zun interjected. "If we only establish the rules by affirming them through you, how could the other Myriad Worlds not obey your commands?"

Rong Cheng listened, his mind trembling.It turned out that this being had descended here to discuss with the mortals of this era how to deal with the calamity and formulate the rules for the future. Were they debating the new structure of the Myriad Worlds?He vaguely recalled the Primordial Chaos era of the Hongmeng Universe, when heaven and earth were undivided, filled with chaos. A group of the earliest Saints began to deliberate and establish the initial rules for the creation of the world."Now, they are seizing power, dividing the primordial authority!" His breathing quickened. Fortunately, he was clever enough to come here; otherwise, being completely unaware would have been a tremendous loss.This was a chaotic round table conference, jointly formulating the rules.

"Should I take control, and let all living beings seek enlightenment through me? This is not a long-term solution."At this, the Destroyer God shook his head, refuting the suggestion. "Although I created those universes, and currently, I can indeed easily control them, and your affirmation of the rules through me would certainly allow me to command those universes, what about the future? Once they fully evolve and proliferate endlessly, it will be difficult to manage; coordinating them by myself would be challenging... Furthermore, if I were to ascend again in the future, my will might dissipate... Therefore, establishing inherent rules for the enlightenment of the Myriad Worlds is the true path."

This statement had two different meanings in the eyes of the two groups present.Emperor Qi and others' initial reaction was:The Destroyer God is, after all, the natural and vast will of the grand universe's Heavenly Dao. He has now developed a self-will, allowing him to coordinate, but what about the future? If he were to reclaim his authority, and his "will dissipates," returning to the will of the grand universe, who would handle things then? Even after defeating the Creator God, the Destroyer God's will did not return to assimilation. Such matters cannot always be handled by subjective will; they must be controlled by rules. Just like a judge, relying solely on oneself to judge criminals will eventually lead to mistakes. Establishing inherent "rules" that make judgments through an unseen mechanism is the best approach. Without rules, nothing can be accomplished!Meanwhile, Rong Cheng, Zhi Ji, and others' initial reaction was:This universe's leader will eventually age and die, and dissipate! This is the meaning of "will dissipates" that He spoke of. If he ages, dies, and dissipates, how can he coordinate the Myriad Worlds? These rules cannot rely on him; a complete set of rules must be re-established.

Rong Cheng mused internally, "This being's intention is likely to seize the opportunity while this era has just begun and is not yet prosperous. As the universe's leader, he can still control these universes and help us formulate rules... Otherwise, once their numbers grow, and he eventually falls, he won't be able to control the flourishing populations.""After all, this is not an irreversible, fated trend for the universe. If we don't help, this trend will be ruined!"Everyone knows that a cosmic epoch without mature and just rules for Saints to attain enlightenment and gain benefits cannot last long! How far can you go if you make the ox work but don't feed it?Saints and the universe were, from the very beginning, in a subtly reciprocal relationship: you complete my rules, and I grant you temporary authority. Only through "humans and nature coexisting harmoniously and benefiting each other" can the grand universe gradually achieve its current maturity and completeness.The Myriad Worlds are currently in this state. If the path of the "Myriad Worlds Saints" is not established, this era is doomed. How can we contend with the fated trends of the future?

As Rong Cheng pondered, he unconsciously began to see himself as part of the "Myriad Worlds," joining the surrounding Saints to discuss how to develop."Formulating the enlightenment rules for the Myriad Worlds? That's too complicated!" Rong Cheng also found it tricky. With over 129,000 universes, how do you even begin to formulate rules? One has to think! But it's difficult to conceive, like defining the next era's pivotal point.After all, with 129,600 universes, they are too minuscule. If they don't move towards the concept of Myriad Worlds Saints, and each remains merely a single-universe Saint, they would be unimaginably weak. How could they resist enemies? How could this chaotic sea's major trend contend with the fated major trend?Therefore, the concept of "Myriad Worlds Saints," rules governing all the Myriad Worlds, is imperative!"However, if this thorny problem is solved, I could also gain significant benefits," he began to ponder.

Xu Zhi watched as everyone on both sides fell into deep thought, and he chuckled inwardly.How should the rules of the Myriad Worlds be affirmed? Affirming them through him was, of course, possible. After all, by seeking enlightenment from Xu Zhi, Xu Zhi could rule all the Myriad Worlds; the effect would be the same.But Xu Zhi was not foolish. He had seen too much history: pushing oneself to the forefront, having everyone seek enlightenment through oneself, and gaining control over the Myriad Worlds from oneself, meant that one would inevitably be overthrown sooner or later!Therefore, the authority of the universe could not be controlled by him. This was a complex task; he could control it, yet he could not... there were many twists and turns, but it had to be done that way.

"You may each propose your viewpoints. If feasible, I will do my best to help you establish the rules," the Destroyer God said calmly.Everyone's breathing quickened immediately. This was it, the true major trend! Who wouldn't want to be the "Yi Mang" of this era? The first Saint to open up heaven and earth and formulate the first structural rules of the universe?The first Saint would establish the general framework of the universe! Everyone knew the formidable implications: to establish the framework meant that all subsequent Saints could only attain enlightenment within the framework universe set by that individual.

Emperor Qi composed his thoughts and said with a smile, "I believe that the Clan God System will be the future structure of the Myriad Worlds; it is the inevitable trend for the Myriad Worlds Saints' enlightenment system! It's quite excellent... We are currently experimenting with this path.""Oh?" The Destroyer God chuckled softly. "A transcendent cultivation system for enlightenment based on a Clan God System?"Emperor Qi exchanged glances with Caroline and others, then explained, "Currently, we have left hidden passages within the descendants of our bloodline, ensuring that future universes will bear our bloodline and obey our ancestors... Over time, through generations of procreation, there will eventually be a core ancestor universe, plus 129,600 descendant universes!"Emperor Qi spoke fluently, "In the future, one would only need to attain enlightenment through the 'core universe,' which would serve as the central hub and sacred land of the Myriad Worlds, governing all of them. This would allow one to simultaneously attain enlightenment in all 129,600 rules!"He looked at Zhi Ji. "For instance, if Miss Zhi Ji wishes to attain enlightenment in the contract rules of the Myriad Worlds, she would only need to do so through the core sacred land's hub universe. This would be equivalent to attaining enlightenment in all the Myriad Worlds, becoming a Myriad Worlds Saint, and governing the rules of the Myriad Worlds.""After all, without rules, nothing can be accomplished.""Even the current nine universes have Multiverse Saints who unify and govern each era of the universe. The future Myriad Worlds will be too vast in number; if there are no rulers to deliberate and formulate rules from 'Chaos Heaven,' governance is destined to be short-lived... How then can we contend with the coming era?""We don't have much time left for development!""As for the iteration of Myriad Worlds' multidimensional Saints..."Emperor Qi chuckled again, "The core universe will also die! Because universes have lifespans. When the core universe dies, the next 'crown prince' universe will ascend... At that time, the old-era Myriad Worlds Saints of the core universe, who govern the rules of the Myriad Worlds, will all fall. Then, the Multiverse Saints of that new universe will ascend to govern the world!"

Rong Cheng was slightly surprised; the other party was not only well-prepared but had already conducted experiments."How shameless," Rong Cheng secretly cursed in his heart. No wonder they didn't care about his presence; they had calculated that he was unprepared.After listening, the Destroyer God couldn't help but smile. "A very good proposal, perhaps one to consider. I can assist you in formulating future cosmic rules into this structure, so that they can operate autonomously even after my departure."Emperor Qi smiled faintly and stepped back.At this moment, Medusa stepped forward and said, "I believe it should be a 'God-Devil System,' where the 129,600 Myriad Worlds each act as a cell, converging to form a vast living being, with the Myriad Worlds existing in the form of a giant..."She spoke eloquently, leaving Zhi Ji and Rong Cheng astonished. This was yet another well-prepared individual. Both of them found this concept astonishing!At this point, Zhi Ji truly couldn't bear it anymore. She tugged at her husband and said helplessly, "Everyone else has come prepared, starting to seize control of the Myriad Worlds' great trend. Don't you have a plan ready?"

Emperor Zun smiled and stepped forward, saying, "I believe it should be a 'Reincarnation System'."Reincarnation? As these words fell, everyone glanced sideways.
